But we'll wager that won't happen with the members of the local fair society. There are five new directors on the board, with new ideas they want to get across, and new enthusiasm to put forward the tried and proven methods of years past. We're looking forward to a fall fair in 1958 which willmake the old -tuners in Zurich feel that it is the best one they've ever been at. We think it can be done, and we think it is going to be done, by the men and women who work together on the fair board. Weather and the Election WHEN PRIME MINISTER JOHN DIEFENBAKER announ- ced the dissolution of parliament and the date for the federal election this coming March 31, he probably did not have in mind the type of weather which Huron County is blessed with through- out February and March of most years. Actually, since we've had such a good time for the early part of the winter, pessimists are already complaining that the next two months are going to be tough. Even on February 2, when north in Wiarton and south in London, there was some sun and scouts reported seeing groundhogs who have seen their shadows—in central Huron no such report was possible. However, the enumerating, speech -making and subsequent trip to the polling booths, will be made by a high percentage of all Huron residents as in past years. The county hast a good reputationso far, and will doubtless live up to the past record M the coming federal, and the by-election as well asthe potential provincial election when they arrive.

With 4-H Clubs Program (By. Mrs. Norma Siebert, B.A., Woman's Page Editor) The 4-H Club for South Huron held their .Achievement Day on Saturday, February 1, in Exeter Legion. Hall. One could not but be impressed with the excellent work that these clubs have been carrying on. The enthusiasm and interest on the part of : the girls and their moth- ers: was apparent by the large number present. There were 116 girls taking part, representing ten clubs. Miss Shirley Patterson, Home Economist for Huron and Bruce Counties, presided, introducing the various demonstrations and skits presented by the girls: Four oth- er home economists from Strat- ford, Arthur, Seaforth and Lon- don helped her in presenting the awards. The achievement day climaxed the making of the first project for the year, namely a wool skirt. Pour Clubs had exhibits display- ing their finished skirts and sug- gesting suitable` accessories.' The other six clubs gave skits or dem- ^onstrations on the same subject. Guides and Brownies Ladies' Auxiliary Have Year Round Program for Girls Mrs. Norma Siebert, E.A. Women's Page Editor A very succesful project was carried out last summer by the Ladies Auxiliary for the Girl Gu- ides and Brownies, Beginning the second week in July, fifteen of the girls were taken to Seaforth three times a week to attend swimming lessons at the fine new pool there. The parents as well as the girls themselves, were so enthusiastic about the results that they were anxious to con- tinue their course this year. The course begins the second week in July. This will mean approx- imately twelve lessons. The clas- ses are small and are made up according to swimming ability. and not age. They are taught by fully qualified instructors and there is close supervision at all times. Each girl must pay $1.50 entrance fee. This goes to de- fray the expense of providing dressing facilities, etc., and en- titles her to swimin the pool at any time during the summer. Mrs. Bruce Keys was appointed secretary for the evening. Rev. Pitt gave the report of the session which disclosed that there are 44 families and 115 anenvbers in the congregation. The Women's' Missionary Soc- iety report was given by Mrs. Brune Keys. Amount raised was $3337.45 and the allocation is $300, The Women's Association report was given by Mrs. Ray McBride, showing $403.68 raised in 1957. The treasurer's report was given by Frank McClinchey, who re- quested that the books be audited. Elgin McKinley and Roy McBride were appointed . auditors. John Armstrong reported for the building committee. Some discussion followed con- cerning the installation of an oil - heating system in the church. Mrs. Elgin McKinley reported for the W.M.S. expense fund. Mrs. Bob McKinley reported for the mission band. The stewards, trustees, manse trustees, and ushers were ap- pointed. Frank McClinchey was re -appointed treasurer. Votes of thanks were tendered the treasurer, organist, choir, Rev. and. Mrs., Pitt and the caretakers. Mrs. James Keys moved that the meeting be adjourned. Following the congregational meeting, the annual meeting of Goshen United Church Sunday School was held. Rev. Pitt acted as chairman and Mrs. Bruce Keys as secretary. The following is a list of the of- ficers: Elmore Keys, superinten- dent; Anson McKinley, assistant superintendent; Douglas Robin- son, Sunday Sohool secretary; Mrs. M. Erratt, Richard Robinson, William: Clarke, Bible Class tea - young people's teachers; Mrs. El - young peoples teachers; MTs. El- more Keys, Mrs. Mel Elliott, junior class; .

Rev. Pitt reported that there are 76 Sunday School pupils and 19 members of the Young People's Union with Douglas Armstrong as president. A report was given on the Vac- ation Bible School and religious instruction in four Public Schools. The meeting closed with the Benediction pronounced by Rev. Pitt. The girls' books showed great or- iginality and were proof that they had gathered considerable infor- mation about the wool fibre and its care, as well as in the actual making of the skirts. What was of special benefit to the girls, was the fact that one of the economists offered a word of praise and constructive criticism on . each display or demonstration. Each girl obtained a county certificate and a pin on comple- ting six home=making club pro- jects. Provincial certificates and pins were given those who com- pleted twelve home -making prb- jects. All girls who completed two home making projects received a stinking 4-H Hemem.aking Club teaspoon. The next Achievement Day will follow the completion of the sec- ond part of the• club's year's pro- gram. Watch the paper for the time anti dateand try to attend, I think you wilt be amazed at what these 4-H girls are accom- plishing. Transportation presents a real problem, • as many of the mothers cannot drive; others are working in the morning and in some cases their husbands have their cars at work. Last year the respons- ibility fell on six or seven drivers and it was decided that a new method of transportation should be planned for this year. It was felt that there might be some persons in town who would not mind driving the child- ren even though they had no one ture.
