The excellent weather and fine response of the members, ad- herents ,and 'friends of the church was very gratifying to the congre- gation. Rev. Dr. Victor T. Mooney, who is an executive officer of the United Church of Canada, brought two very forceful and informative messages to the congregations on Sunday last, 1n the morning he emphasized the meaning and scope of the church's work and gave some facts to illustrate the value and need of consecrated endeavour in every congregation. In the evening the subject dealt with the challenge to Christians to claim the people's of the earth to the kingdom of God. The evangel- izing of the world is basic in build- ing a structure for world peace. The ministers and congregations of the 1 gmondvilie, Presbyterian and Anglican Churches were thank- ed for withdrawing their evening services. The choirs of the church rendered appropriate music at the services and were commended for their ef- forts throughout the celebration and also for bringing "The Victorians" the Toronto costumed quartette that presented a very acceptable pro- gramme on Monday evening.

SEAFORTH, ONTARIO,' TIIURSDAY, OCTOBER 30,1947 • SEAFORTFi MAKES WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS Announcement was made this week by Dr. P. L. Brady, Medical Health Officer for Seaforth, that the first of a series of clinics for the detection of tuberculosis will be held on Wednesday, November 13th at Scott Memorial Hospital. There- after a similar clinic will be held on the second Wednesday of every month. These clinics will be under the Department of Health of Ont- ario, and will be supervised by Dr. Brady. These clinics will not be open to the general public. They are only for people who have been examined by their family physician and found to have some possibility of T.B. and referred to the clinic for a free chest x-ray. The local Seaforth branch of the Red Cross Society is co-operating in supervising the clinic and providing a secretary. Miss Gretta Ross is secretary. The district public health nurses are co-operating and assisting. Miss McKenzie is the district nurse in Clinton, and Mrs, Hartwick is the local public health nurse in Sea - forth. The clinic is made possible through the co-operation of the Scott "Memorial Hospital Board who are providing facilities for the clinic and are doing the x-ray work at cost. The cost of the x-rays is being met by funds from the sale of Christmas seals in the Christmas seal campaign, so that from now on the proceeds of the local sale of these seals will stay in the commun- ity. It is hoped also to have a mass v-rav of all residents of Seaforth and adjacent communities some time early next year, conducted by the reavelling clinic with small x-ray eauipment. BEGIN DRILLING ON NEW SALT WELL A drilling outfit is being set asp at the salt company property and drill- ing will commence this week on a new salt well, H. S. Evans and Son of Tilsonburg are the drillers. The new firm intends to expand the plant and building will start in the near future on the new plant. t EECHWOOp HAS BACON HOU t.LUt, '.the Ontario Department of Agri- culture recently brought into etteet, throughout the province; a Bacon Hog Ulub Policy, Tins policy has been designed with a view to mak- ing high .class boars available in those communities where tney are not being maintained, and whel'e, their use is essential to improvement'' in type and quality of the market hogs •produced. It is not intended to interfere with the activities of those individuals who follow the practice of purchasing good boars shat ofier- ing then for public service. Under this policy five boar clubs have been organized in the County, where Department boars will be placed and available for public ser- vice. The first club organized early in July, in the Beechwood district, recently took delivery of a Young boar shipped to them by the Live Stock Branch, of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture. This young boar, Gravel Ridge Prince 230A, was bred by William Pinkney and Sons, of Cooksville, Ontario, and was one of a litter which quali- fied under the Advanced Registry Policy, with a score of 90, and third highest in the Province of Ontario in 1940. This young boar is being maintained in the herd of Mr. James E. Sloan, R.R. 5, Seaforth, who was appointed as caretaker by members of the Beechwood Bacon Hog Club. The announcement of the removal ing as it did at the time when price of subsidies on coarse grains, Com - centrals were lifted, has caused a great deal of confusion of thought among the producers of bacon, beef and poultry products. At the same time, Great Britain has intimated that she may have to make a cut in her importation of eggs and bacon from Canada. If such action is taken, It may result in a surplus of eggs, and the law of supply and demand would come into force with respect to prices paid for eggs. The removal of subsidies from ,coarse grains has been expected for several months, and the farmers of Western Canada have been reluc- tant to sell their grains until this action was taken. As a result, coarse grams in Ontario have been in very scarce supply, and our farmers have not had an opportunity of purchas- ing a reserve for winter feeding be- fore the subsidies were removed, and before the new price increases be- came effective. At the moment re- gulations are that any Feed Dealer, having a supply of grain on Band, purchased at a time when subsidies were in effect, must retail it at pre- vious price levels, but this regula- tion will not effect a great many dealers in Ontario.
