No. 2, McKillop, Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Sam McClure on Mon - clay evening of this week, At- tendance was very good. Sub- ject larder discussion was Bi•ing- ing up the farm faintly. ques- tion 1. What are the differences between bringing up a farm fa- mily today and twenty-five years ago. The influx of ,labor-saving machinery has done much • to change working conditions on farms today; also methods of education have changed greatly, and transportation to schools; most recreation and amusement' for farm families today are to he found in the towns and vil- lages, in place of on the farm or among the neighbors, and ag- ain the financial problem is such as to make it next to impossible for many young men to get started in the fanning business - today. Question 2. What are the most iiuportant problems to- be faced in bringing up farm fanciies to- day. No doubt the `most import- - aitt problem today is to see that our children receive a sound Moral foundation on which to build and a true co-operative spirit both 'in work and play, ' hich will make the farm hone a happy place, also some Term of health services, from which, ii.h and poor alike, may enjoy - the benefits. Following discussion period, a social hour was spent in prow. gressive euchre, ,7m aces, Ladies ---Mrs. Walter Scott, Mr's. Nel- son McClure, Helen Scott. Men --Wayne I;olmage, Arthur An- derson, Ellwood Clarke. No -:t meeting will be at the home ulr..and Mrs. T. W. McMillan.- HULLETT On Jan 17th, 27 adults of Fireside Farm Thrum )net at the hone. of Geo. Hoggart to discuss bringing up the farm family. it The diffei'enee in the ways of bringing up a farm family in the last 25 years are caused by curs, tractors, television, trans- portation of rural pupils by bus to town schools, more .. pome. ments outside r°' ne hone, more slip ing money, town •inks.-pelrlacing the rural ponds. More children attending second- ary schools. Children have more advantages with school nurses and music instruction in schools. The teenagers go farther from home for amusements, many re- ceive training in 4-T1 clubs, Jr. Institutes and Jr. farmer"organ- izations. !(2) The problems facing par- ents today are much the same as formerly and we believe that rural parents have the advant- age over town and city. Children must be taught co-operation and the value of the farm unit by having some task for which they do not receive pay. They can learn the value of money by be- ing paid for extra work on the farm, proficiency in their school work or some added responsibili- ty. They must also be taught to spend wisely this money they have earned. The farm is an ex- cellent place to teach kindness to animals and the proper care of pets. The home, school, Sun- day School and Church combine in teaching the love of God, pro— per morals, right from wrong, value of time and other virtues. Television and the many amuse- ments and social activities greatly interfer„ with the ]tome work of students. Parents must teach the proper use of time. In many communities there are so many clubs and organizations. They have few evenings to spend at home in the family cir- cle. Just how often should Jr. have Dad's car? In many fami- lies that is the chief problem. Children must early be trained to realize that the family in- come limits the spending on clothing and amusements outside the home. But that much real pleasure and happiness can be enjoyed at home or at a neigh- bor's hone. i(3) Some communities should provide more amusements for young people, we feel there is no lack here. Parents should al- ways strive for a friendly sym- pathetic understanding• in the family it unit. rt. Games: Lone hands and most games, Mrs. Harvey Taylor.

EARL CAMPBELL OF HAY ACCLAIMED WARDEN Modern history was made in Huron County on Tuesday, when Earl Campbell of Hay township, was elected by acclamation to the office of warden of the county. Not within the memory of any one now active in public affairs in Huron, has any one gained the warden's chair- without opposi- tion. On Tuesday Reeve Harry Gowdy of Howick, the council member who aright have been ex- pected, by reasons of seniority and political leanings, to make a rival claim on the waa'denship, was the council member who moved that Warden Campbell be chosen by acclamation. Official records cannot be checked to discover whether a warden has ever before in Hu'on been named without contest. The relevant records were destroyed by tire when the county court house burned a year ago. Senior , among the ex -wardens who • at- tended the county council inaug- ural meeting here -Tuesday was N.

Rad- er. reeve of Hay nal warden In 1912, and George Armstrong, tecve of Ilay and warden in 1912. -After the election of the war- den had been conducted, Warden Campbell was rreorted to the dais by'll•illian Dale, of Hullett Townalrip, the 1914 w1n•den. •rhe oath of office was adiiiristereil to Warden Campbell by his ltonnt' Judge Frans; b'i•• '':: h recently appointed judge of the enmity court in ILu•en. ,The new warden is a 5 -Fear incl native of the township which ho represents. He was born in Hay township in 1990, snit of 511'. and Mrs. John Campbell. and has lived 53 of his 55 years in flay. For two years. when he VMS a boy, his father operated the gen- eral store at Farquhar. Warden Campbell's initials are M. E., but he prefers to forget about the the "M" which he never uses, signing himself plain Earl Camp- bell. His hone is at lot 7, coir, 2, Hay, where he operates a 175- acre mixed farm, with some milk- ing cows, a beef herd, white beans as an annual cash crop, and in most years, a sugar beet crop.. It may be good evidence of his acumen that in 1954, he chose not to grow sugar -beets. Hundreds who slid, and battled to harvest thein in a wet, muddy autumn, wished they had not. Warden Campbell is an elder of Hensall Presbyterian Church; a member of Huron Lodge No. 224, Hensall, of the Masonic Or- der; a member of Hensall Lodge No. 324, I00P; a member of the Ancient Mystic Order of Samari- taus, MOP.

The county council referred the problem to its executive commit- tee for a report later this week. A request which is before coun- ty council at this session is one from Stanley township, asking for a county fox bounty. There has been a great increase in the fox population in Stanley, the township council reports, and the argument is advanced that the cost of encouraging the shooting of foxes should be a county re- sponsibility. A letter from the Goderich High School Area board asked the council to clarify the prob- lem of the boundary line between the Goderich school area and the Clinton High School District Area, where the boundary line runs through Goderich township.
