Of New Highway Near Auburn.
(By J. Carl Hemingway)
At the County Federation of
Agriculture directors meeting,
February 17, the secretary -field -
man outlined the new rates of
compensation being offered by On-
tario Hydro for the construction
of lines across farm land. The
OFA has been negotiating for sev-
eral months and, while still not
satisfied. with the compensation
the new offer is about three tim-
es the old rates.
In view of the new line that is
to be constructed shortly from
Seaforth to Clinton it was agreed
that the Federation convene a
meeting of the farmers affected
and the township federations in
order that the land owners might
have all available information.
In this same matter of land ac-
quisition the meeting agreed that
the County Federation protest the
proposed straightening of the bend
at Auburn. This road was only
constructed some three years ago
and it hardly seems reasonable
that it is now obselete.
The County Federation agreed
to assist the Women's Committee
with their essay contest and that
the fieldman send out copies, to
each township, of the rules of the
contest. These are to be distrib-
uated to each of the rural schools.
Mrs. Vera Greig, vice-chairman
of Ontario Farm Forum reported
on the annual convention held in
Saskatoon. Due largely to the in-
terest shown in this area in the
farm programs and the TV Farm
Forums the CBC will be putting
on more regular farm programs
in the near future. Also it is ex-
pected there will be several priv-
ate stations carrying the TV Farm
Forum next year.
There was considerable discus-
sion on the freight subsidy now
being paid on Western feed grain
coming to Ontario. Many seemed
to feel that this was of no benefit
to the average farmer but was a
special advantage to the large and
vertically integrated feeder. It was
agreed by the meeting that this
question should be taken back to
the farmers in the townships to
learn the feeling of the producers.
The results will then be passed
on to the County and to the OFA.
The resolutions committee was
asked to formulate a resolution
that would protect the fel aier in
obtaining screenings taken from
grain sold to commercial dealers.
This will be presented at the next
meeting,
While it was not the kind of
weather to make one think of out-
door gatherings the meeting did
suggest that the directors should
bring in their ideas on an improv-
ed worship service for this year.
It was also agreed that the fed-
eration give a grant of $25 to the
Soil and Crop Improvement Assoc-
iation for their annual Seed Fair.

BLOOD BANK
(Clinton News -Record)
On Monday, and Tuesday, six
pints of whole blood were used at
Clinton Public Hospital: through
the services of the "Walking Blood
Bank" recently organized there.
Two pints were obtained from
RCAF cadets, and four from mem-
bers of Clinton Branch 140, Can-
adian Legion.
The purpose . of the "walking
blood bank" is to have persons
in the area` who are willing and
able to give blood donations, to
have their blood "typed" at the
hospital. Then, when need for it
arises, they are called in, and the
blood' taken for transfusions.
