SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, TI'IURSDAY, JULY 27, 1SF,(I
DEEP SNOW IN JUNE
AT YELLOW STONE
The following interesting letter
was received by Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Hoggarth of Seaforth from Mr, John
R. Taylor, of Kerman California,
upon his return after his recent visit
to this district.
Mr. Taylor was raised in Hibbert
township, two miles west of Cram -
arty. He went to the States as a
young man, and later became citY
engineer of Los Angeles, from which
position he retired three years ago
after many years in that position,
He is now living on a ten -acre farm
nine acres of which is a vineyard.
Last year he produced fourteen tons
of Sultana raisins.
" July 18, 1950.
"Dear folks.—We arrived home on
June 24th, winding up a trip of
7,600 miles. Ran into some bad
weather on the way home, through
North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming
and Idaho, Coming over Highway
12 into Yellowstone Park we reached
an altitude of 10,942 feet. It was
very stormy. Snow 15 to 20 feet
deep where the highway had been
ploughed out. It was 72 miles over
and we didn't meet a car or pass one
travelling either way. If it had
snowed before we got over we might
have been tied up for a few days.
"We had to cut our trip short a
week for the reason that my wife
!(Mary Jane) contracted a case of
asthma, so had to head back. This
hot dry climate clears it up. On the
way back I had to stop several tines
and let some of the California air
out of my tires, it never failed to
revive her.
"I want to thank you for the din-
ner you prepared and for a swell
visit. It was nice seeing you both
again. Hope that sometime you may
see your way clear to pay us a visit.
The latch string will be out, just
walk in, throw your coat and hat in
the corner and make yourself at
home. Thanks again and very best
wishes. Jack and Mary Jape
Taylor."

FILM COMMfTTEES
TO BE ORGANIZED
A director's meeting of Huron
County Federation of Agriculture
was held on July lath at the agricul
turel board room in Clinton. Mr.
Ben Drew of the National Film
Board staff was present to explain
the changes being made in Huron
county by the National Film Board.
Mr. R. S. McKercher gave a brief
report on a meeting he attended in.
Walkerton where plans were made to
lease a farm in this section of Ont-
ario for a demonstration pasture
program. This farm would have three
pasture plots and a record would be
kept of the returns from each plot
to show the advantage of improved
pastures. The Ontario Department
of Agriculture are the chief sponsors
of this project.
For the past six years the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture
has been the sponsor of the National
Film Board circuit in this county.
Through this service thousands of
children and adults have been per-
mitted to see picturesque and educa-
tional films of parts of Canada that
they may never be permitted to view
in their natural state.
The cost of this service was orig-
inally borne by the National Film
Board, but as time went on the fin-
ancial burden was shifted to the
sponsoring organization until this
year the grant has been discontinued.
In its place we now have the Film
Board establishing a volunteer cir-
cuit in the county, with a film com-
mittee in each township responsible
for the showings there. This com-
mittee will be composed of represen-
tatives from all interested organiza-
tions within the township, such as
township federation, Women's Insti-
tute, church groups, service clubs,
school boards, etc.
There will be set up a county film
council composed of representatives
from the township committees.
This year two projectors will be
available in Huron county and two
complete sets of films. The Film
Board will eventually withdraw these
machines and every township wish-
ing to continue will haveto purchase
a projector of their own or use one
belonging to a service club or school
area, etc.
The National Film Board will
train people in each township to op-
erate the machine. Their services
will be given free of charge.
!('his system puts the success of
the film' showings squarely on the
township coinmittees, so unless int-
erested and active member's are ap-
pointed to the committee the chances
for the survival of this service is
very small.
The Huron County Federation of
Agriculture has been pleased to

The Canadian Federation of Agri-
culture has prepared some interest-
ing figures on the increased cost of
living for 1949-50.
'Considering a weekly budget for
a family of five people which includ-
ed beef, pork, milk, butter, cheese
and eggs, the cost to this family was
45c per week higher than in 1949.
This increase was made up almost
entirely by the price of beef from
1949 to 1950. Pork, butter and eggs
were all down in price.
In comparison with this increase
in the price of food supplies origin-
ating on the farm we find that indus-
trial labour received an increase in
wages of '$1.80 per week or more
than four times the increase in the
cost of food.
Government records show that
from June lst, 1949, to June 1st,
1950, food index increased 3 per
cent; rentals index increased 8.4 per
cent. and fuel and lighting increased
6.5 per cent.
Speaking on the subject of econ-
omic controls in the event of another
global war, Dr. Herb Hannam, the
president of the Canadian Federa-
tion of Agriculture, has this to say:
"If in the event of another war,
the economy is to be controlled, a
better balance can be established by
imposing controls at the very outset
rather than delay for a year or two.
"When Canada adopts economic
controls again there should be a de-
finite agreement that such controls
Would not be released until all danger
of inflation, such aa we have exper-
ienced in the past few years, has
passed.
"While we do not believe that an-
other war is inevitable, yet the
threat of war is sufficiently great
that a program of all-round prepar-
edness is the only wise course. For
eeonomic controls, the Government
would be well advised to name a
commission immediately to study and
recommend the proper balance with-
in our economy which would be used
as a basis for just and effective over-
all controls, if and when they are
needed."
