ST. JOSEPH and DRYSDALE
(ALFRED DUCHARME, Correspondent)

son and daughter-in-law.
Mr, and Mrs. Vincent
Geoffroi of Detroit were past
week visitors with Mrs. Sarah
Geoffrey and fauiil) of St.
Joseph and while here some of
the visitors took parr in the
delicious fish dinner at the
-+� golf club. Several from the
neighbourhood attended and
were much pleased with the
meal and service given them.
Recently in Elgin, Ill., the
marriage took place of a grand-
son of the senior Sophas and a
son of Mrs. Clarence Sopha.
The elders thought the trip too
long but in their stead to art -
end were 1\1r. and Airs. Ilarold
Deitrich of Zurich, Mr. and
Mrs. John Mahoney of Mount
Carmel and another son of the
Mahoney's, Mr. and Mrs.
Donald of Hespler. The trip
was an enjoyable one for all
with safe going and a safe re-
turn to their home.
Visitors at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Dolph Sopha from

the loth concession' were Mrs.
.� AI rris Durand and in her com-

Mr. and Mrs. Dominic
Geoffrey and some members
of their family motored to

Geoffrey, and their daughter.
The young couple of late
have bought a home in London.

this highway who was a patient
in South Huron Hospital of
late has been taken to St.
Joseph, London.
Commenting on the rumours
of the I)on Messer show which
will be taken off the air in
the near future, there is nothing
too strange in that for in this
changing world anything can
and will happen, Messer
and his troop put up a good
show entertaining all, all
being neatly dressed for thc
occasion and all acting to the
command of the sponsors.
If such should happen, it would
mean disappointment to the .
public. There is certainty
that it will not be replaced
by anything better. Let us
wait and sec, perhaps such
rumors did not come from
reliable source, therefore
there is no room for accusation.

Mitchell Woman
Heads Association
Mrs. Archie Couper, of
Mitchell, who will become a
resident of Hensall this summer,
was re-elected as president of
the Perth -Huron Council of
Home and School Associations,
when the group held their
annual meeting in Mitchell
last week. The association
was formerly known as the
Stratford and District Council
of Ilome and School Associations.
but with the advent of county
boards of education the group
felt they should stretch our into
both counties.
Mrs. Couper told the Citizens
News that she feels it is the
job of the council ro bring
to the attention of the local
associations in both Huron and
Perth, any information that
comes from the Federation
of Home and School Associat-
ions. She added that since the
inception of the county board
systems, this group would be
the logical organization to
serve as a liaison between rhe
boards and the parents of the
communities, who are tax-
payers.
In Perth County the organiz-
ation presented a brief to the
ISOC which resulted in a
decision to appoint an education
liaison officer who would meet
with the Director of Education
for Perth frequently and would
be able to pass on information
to the people. A meeting is
to be held in Huron with J. •
Cochrane, the director, in
the very near future, to discuss
a similar idea.
The Association hopes to set
up a vice-president and comm-
ittee in each county, to serve
under one presidency.
Mrs. Couper's husband is the
general manager of the 1- ensall
District Co -Operative, and
they plan to move to Ilensall
in June.

"Make It Look Better Than Neer"
Farmers to Decide Type of Membership
Wanted in General Farm Organization
The plebiscite on a general
farm organization scheduled
for early June will give farm-
ers an opportunity to vote on
the type of membership re-
quirement they want for the
new organization. Farmers
will be offered three alterna-
tive forms of membership,
Malcolm Davidson, Brucefield
chairman of the Ontario Gen-
eral Farm Organization Camp-
aign Committee, announced
in Toronto.
The committee is campaign-
.ing for a single provincial or-
ganization to speak for Ontario
farmers. The June ballot will
ask voters three questions on
membership:
--Should membership re-
quire a voluntary payment re,
gardless of the amount of
check off paid by the indiv-
idual? (If farmers vote in
favour of this a payment will
be required in addition to
receive membership. The
level of payment will be de-
cided by the founding con-
vention.
--Should membership be
automatic if a farmer pays a
checkoff whether large or
small? (If a majority of far-
mers vote in favour of this
alternative, individual farms
will receive a membership
automatically regardless of the
amount of money contributed
by checkoff.)
--Should membership require
some minimum level of con-
tribution toward the GFO which
could come from a combina-
tion of •t checkoff and a vol-
untary payment? (If a majority
of farmers vote for the third
alternative the founding con-
vention would set a minimum
level of payment required for
membership. A farmer who
had paid in checkoff the a-
mount set at the convention
would automatically be eligi-
ble for membership without
further payment. If the money
paid through chekoff did not
reach that level the farmer
would be required to pay
enough to make up the min -
imam in order to receive
membership.)
