Wintenneyer Speaks Although he had only met the Huron Liberal's choice of .candid- ate at the meeting, the Ontario Liblerral leader- said "the !answer to Iiberallitsm an Ontario as can- didates andilates of this calibre." The leader enlarged on the edu- cation subject .albou!t which Dr. Addison spoke. He said at present that 90 percent of cost of univer- sity education is borne by the student and he's .pnrenits. His idea was 'that no students 'should back the prhvi'lege to go on to higher education', regardless of whether they can afford it or not.

Elmer Etue, 45, a former resi- dent of the Zurich district was electrocuted last Wednesday when he was "welded" to a power shov- el, shot full of currant after it snapped an overhead 4,600 volt wire, three miles north of Union- ville. A 'second life was almost claim- ed when Lloyd Finnigan, owner of the company, .grabbed Etue, his foreman, and tried to pull ham free. He succeeded but suffered burns to the forehead, right eye, left foot and hand. Etue was pronounced dead by the coroner after artificial respir- ation had been attempted for four and a half hours. Police said Etue, foreman of a crew constructing a bridge at Cashel, was swinging the s'havei into place so Nelson Broderick, 21, W'illowdale, the operator, could pick up some large stones. The shovel swung back and the boom 'touched the wire, Both men fell to the ground from the swinging crane after Finnigan grabbed 'Etue, police said. Markham police were called im- mediately and began artificial respiration, with the assistance of a nurse, who lived nearby. Mr. Finnigan was treated for bums at the scene of the accident. Township hydro workers, who arrived to fix the snapped line, assisted in the attempts to re- vive Etue. Mr. Etue was the son pi Mrs. Anna Etue, and the late John Etue, RR 2, Zurich, and was born Lions Members Will Wash Cars Lions Learn Of Management Problems ion Farm. Anson McKinley, who is vice- president of the Soutthh. Human Farm Management Associations, told members of the Zurich Lions Club en Monday night, that the :farmer must begin to use ills head and his pencil. more than long hours and a strong back, if he is to make a success of bis business. Mr. McKinley, who was intro- duced by Lion Leroy O'Brien;, told of the work and purpose of farm management groups in the coun- ty, and .af a vtiisit 'taken by him- self and 11 other Huron farmers to farms tin Michigan and Indian- a. There are two farm manage- ment groups in Huron, now in their third year ,whose purpose is to keep records, have them an- alyzed-, and study the reports to see comparisons with each. other's farms, and others with like op- erations. Interest was found in the vast dilfference in results earned from the same enterprise undertaken by different farmers, but with the same prices prevail- ing and the same weather. In the United States there is one farm management service do- ing all the "management" of far- ms, representing one and one -Half million •dol'lars in real estate, for owners and renters.. The nearest thing to this locally is an ex- perimental project in Bruce County, where 125 farmers are hiring a full time management consultant. in Stanley Township. He had spent much of his early life in this district, before going to To- ronto some years ago. The body rested at the West- lake funeral home, Zurich, until Saturday morning, when it was removed to St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, St. Josephs, where Requiem High Mass was sung with Rev. Father Poisson officiating. Burial took plate in St. Peter's Cemetery. Surviving, besides his mother, are three brothers, Levis, Detroit; Maurice, Seaforth; Leonard, Win- dsor; and one sister, Mrs. Edna Perkins, Detroit. 0— Fair Directors To Meet Saturday Members of the Zurich Lions Club will be srtagtian.g another of their "Lion -5 -Car Washes" on Sat- urday afternoon The clean-up job take place fire on the street in front For only one dollar, Lion mern- bems will give your car a complete wash job, as well as cleaning out the inside of it. All money reali- zed from this venture will go to- wards thie new achildreinet play- ground perk at the east of the arena. "The farmer," said Mr. Mc- Kinley, "is an independent indiv- idual who hates to be in debt. There is a need for long term credit in ever-increasing amounts. Consider the town businessman ' who uses his credit to ,the full in order to expand. The grocery - man has a complete turnover of lits inventory perhaps once a mon- th. The farmer expects a turn- over once two or three years. Records have shown us that the farmer must use his borrowed capital to !iits fullest extent," went on Mr. McKinley. A meeting of the directors of the Zurich 'Fall Pair will be held in the Town Hall, on Saturday night, at 8,30 p.m. At this time committees will be set up for ail the various departments of the fair. All members are urged to be present. The past presidents, honorary presidents and 'associate directors are all asked to attend this meeting also. The better co-op- eration that is received now, the better the fall fair will be in September. 0 Joseph Martin Wins Bicycle Draw He noted that with the differ- ence in efficiency of farmers, it was difficult to establish support prices, for what would be a parity price for one man, would not be for another. He said that the low income farmer must be helped Ito help himself by better methods. Mr. MoKini'ey said he did not want to misunderstood: he was nat against supports, nor marketing boards. "There is need now for emph- asis on purchasing and market- ing." went on the speaker. The economics head at Perdue Univ- ersity told .the 'touring group that in the '40s the emphasis was on all-out production. In the '50s farmers have begun to use mach- ines. and science wln,ich both tend to increase production. Now the future must look to purchasing and ma'rketin'g. A Zurich district farmer who has. sax dhil'dren, and none of them ever owning a bike, won the free bicycle given away at a draw conducted in Gascho Bros. store on Saturday night. The lucky man was Joseph Martin, RR 2, Zurich, and he had happy children when he brought them hoarse the new bicycle. Gascho Bros. had been giving away free .tickets on; the bicycle tor the past several months.; each purchaser being entitlted 'to ticket. The draw on Saturday night wars made by one of the village trustees,. Harold Thiel. "Integration is the tying toge- ther of these three phases. Unless far'm'ers' can accomplish this themselves, more contact farming will, come about. "The farmers problem," accord- ing to the economist, was brought about by socialistic meddling by ;the government in 'the economic laws of agriculture. 'Political laws cannot replace the economic laws. Mn McKinley also showed soma very interesting pictures taken an their trip. He was thanked for his very arnforrnative address which was appreciated by all the members of the club. Two new members were in- ducted into the club, namely Pete Masse and Napoleon Co riveau. Plans were finalized for the Lions Car Wash, which is to be held on ,Saturday afternoon. Next month is national beaut- ification month.
