work un th•' project.
Another important feature ut' this
project is the elinhinatioe of fire

year in Huron by tires that could
have been prevented,
The Stanley Township Farm and
Home Improvement Contest will be
in charge of Reeve Fred Watson,
Hayfield, and Councillors Elmer Web -4
stet, Varna; Wm. Falconer. Bruce
field: Clarence Parke, Zurich. and l
John Pepper. Brueefield. Tltey will be
assisted in securing entries and prize
money by the short course members
under direction of Miss .Tulene
Stephenson and Mr. Allan Hill.
A11 farms entered will be scored in
early April by a competent judge.
After the farm and home have been
improved during the spring and sum-
mer, the judge will return around
August 15th to score them again.
The difference between the scores
will represent the improvements com-
pleted. A modest farm layout will
have the same chance of winning
the contest as a more pretentious
one,
Stanley Township farmers are all
eligible to enter the contest.. Entry
blanks are in the hands of the town-
ship council. As the first scoring will
be done in early April, the committee
would appreciate it if all tite entries
were III by March 15th.
