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. He said
"tithe bulwark of our society is our
teaching profession."
Me. WWntermeyer said he was
going to get to every riding in
the province and see for himself
the wants of ,the peoplie, and from
this would form his party's policy.
He inten'd's to work in the four
ridiani holding by-elections on
May 12, and said many Liberal
speakers would be corning to this
riding in ,the aiext three weeks.

Huron Progressive Conservative Association,
and night hand man of Tom Pryde through-
out his term at Queen's Park, was swept into
,the candidate's job on the first ballot, which
dealt firmly with the five other men nominated
for the, office.
Choked with enation, Mr. MacNaughtan, re-
sponded Ito the wave after wave of applause
with which the 'audience greeted news ,of his
nomination. He said, "I won't need five

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

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.

ground perk at the east of the

"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.

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. Publicity on the
project of clean-up, paint -up and
beautify, wild be carried on radio
and 'television stations, and hi all
weekly and dalielty' newspapers ac-
ross Canada.
