Carl Hemingway) The Beef Producers have been how you feel about the offers that. rather quiet lately so perhaps I should say a little about their plans. During the past months the County President Robert McGreg- or, Kippen, has been getting a few queries about another bus trip. The one two years ago seemed to be greatly enjoyed so Mr. McGreg- or has been gathering a bit of in- formation on a little bigger tour. One that is being thought of, is a three day tour into Michigan to a beef cattle show and sale to be followed by a visit to a packing plant that is processing this very choice grade of cattle. We would then call in at some of the large commerical feed lots and other points of interest on the way. Already 15 have reserved seats on the bus so it looks as if we will be able to arrange it. A meeting of the directors will be held short- ly to plan details and to make the final decision. In the meantime if you are interested contact Mr. McGregor or leave word at the Federation office. It has been brought to my at- tention that hydro is building a new twin pole line from Seaforth to Clinton very shortly. It may be that other lines will be built this year. The Federation has been able to increase the rate of compensation greatly, over the pre- vious payments but still feel there is something to be desired. If you are faced with this kind of pro- blem we would be very glad to learn what you land owners think is a just settlement for these lines. Another project that has come to my attention is the straightening of some of our highways by cut- ting off corners and going across farms. We would like to know are being made. Also we would.: like to know whether or not you feel the improvement justifies the expense. On one bend that is to be straightened truckers are repor- ter to be able to drive at 60 miles per hour with a full load. This would seem to be good enough since our speed limit is still 50, What do you think about it ? +sem.
