Wants Change in Butter Grading R: J. Scott, of Belgrave, president of the U. F. 0., in an interview at Stratford the other day expressed the need of a change in butter grading, both in the interests of the producer nd the consumer. Cream that is, no, brings three cents per pound but - r• fat over cream that is graded no, According to IVIr, Scott's' inform- ion 60% of the butter marketed in Toronto is made from no. 2 : cream and it sells for about a quarter of a cent per pound less than butter made from no, 1 cream, . He :contends that butter. should •be stamped when graded and dated that those ,purchas- ing no, 2 butter would not be pay- ing no, 1 price for it and oto, 1 but- te!` would draw a better price and it would put the butterbusiness on a straight business basis. At present there is too .much °buttersolcl without any grading mark. rrie Vjdette and Wroxeter News, L, H. CURRIE, E.A,, ON SUNDAY' NEXT, MARCH th. EVERYBODY WELCOME. WINGHAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 2nd, 1933 • FIRE WAS SOON UNDER CONTROL Stock in McKav's Stare Considerably Damaged About 8.45 Monday morning the siren called the firemen to duty. Fire had broken out in Jack McKK.ay's store and when the firemen arrived smoke was issuing' from the rear windows and also pouring out.the front of the building.. The firemen wearing their. smoke helmets entered the store and had the fire extinguished before any Y great damage, was done to the build- ing. The stock, however, was con- sidcrably damaged, the dresses on the racks in the rear of the store, were either soiled or burned and the fix- tures in this part of the store' were. also damaged. The stock in the front part of the store was not damaged by fire or water, but the heavy smoke no doubt .would do it considerable harm, Mr. McKay had just completed considerable alterations to his store and the heat of the fire and the dam- age through smoke ' and . water spoil- ed a great deal of his work. Bad luck seems to be following on Jack's heels as it was not so long ago that his garage was destroyed by fire and he lost his car and a con- siderable quantity of merchandise. The fire is believed to have start- ed by :the explosion of the stove which blew the lid off and the door open while Mr. McKay was sweep- ing off the sidewalk in front of his store.

This was the policy of the department in four former years, but was discontinued �in, Iast year. It is felt that the lack of I bre, free seed tended to reduce the inter- est. taken in the. school fairs,' and free distribution has been resumed. How-' ever, the judging system adopted last year will be continued in 1938, and it is expected that school fairs will not be'held jointly with other fairs, :Up until last year the 'department supplied judging services in some places for rural school fairs.

It was rather a. tame lion as far as weather was concerned on March 1st, but with a slight fall of snow and a fair amount of wind the day could be lik- ened, unto a lamb. It may be that the weather sages will. have some ex- planation but we hope that March will be on its good behavior and will have a lamb -like disposition, Opening Beauty Parlor Mrs. Chas.
