AFTERNOON OF JUNE '6 Plans whereby children • of Huron' County may see the King and Queen when they visit Stratford on June 6th were diecueeed; at a meeting in Strat- ford on Thursday evening of last week. Called by Stratford's Mayor Henry, the meeting was attended by repres- entatives of interested bodies, includ- ing E C. Buswell of the Seaforth Liens Club, W. I. 'Carroll, Mitchell Lions, and W. L. Whyte, Clinton Lions. Mr. Whyte was, named a mem- ber of a special committee that was set up. Iieayor Henry said he had made ev- ery effort to get . a longer Mop for Stratford but that the King and Queen would only be here for ten minutes at about 3 pan., June 6th. Police Chief R. J. Beatty said Roy- al Canadian Mounted Police have been there and they asked for plenty of protection, especially for school chil- dren. These officers had suggested construction of a platform on which the King and Queen could -stand in full view' of the crowd. They stressed making arrangements which would give as many school children as pos- sible a clear view of Their Majesties. The Chief suggested making a lane for the children to pass along by the stand. It is proposed to eri3ct .strong temporary fences to give the children an unobstructed lane so that thou- sands 'could march past In the ten minutes. Mr. Whyte, of Clinton, said he want, ed Perth and Huron children to come provided they would be sure of see- ing the King and'Oueen. The Lions Clubs of the district would arrange for a special train coining down from Goderich and serving the district from Goderich to. Stratford to bring these children there., E. C. Boswell, of the Seaforth Lions Club, said. that veterans -from the dis- trict would wish to take part in the guard of honor aid he also suggested that, the training Boy Scouts had re- -cel -red in handling children in par- ades would be useful. • Mayor Henry assured the gathering that provision would be made to see that all children coming to Stratford would see the King and Queen. A lane -wide enough to accommodate the number in 10 minutes would be pro. vide& PLAN UNION SERVICES - DURING PASSION WEEK Union services have been planned for the churches of Seaforth during Passion Week, April 3rd to 7th.

This- young man less been a farmer ' for only a few years but his neighbors' now -agree that, in spite of his city birth arid up- bringing, he is a real nem manager. How he came to be a farmer is inter- eetiug, too. His grandfather -had left the term to establish the Whyte Pack- ing Company.

Perhaps it was the atmosphere of the college that changed- Nick's idea of just where -his destiny lay.

Due to that soft ice the game was ery phase of rural life and has given i leadership in several rural organiza- tions. He told me that his college course had been of great value to him in the past three strenuous years. His training in business he has found eq- ually valuables—he understends mar- keting, something that is increasingly important as the farm unit becomes !anger. When I drove in, Nick was busy ear -tagging a shipment of western steers that had arrived' the previous evening. Each- year he purchases. 100 head and markets them the next sum- mer In three lots. This insures against having to merket all on a down market and keeps just enough steers at home to utilize the pasture: It is in lhogs, eowever, that the farm is nieking a reputation under present management. A fine foundapon of Yorkshire sows was purchakd from tl.e 0. A. C. and other leading breed- ers and a boar was selected that had stood well up at the Royal. ,There' are now 20 sows on the place and 400 hogs are marketed yearly.

One thousand Leghorn pullets also bring in a regular inceene. A. few cows are milked but this is a minor activity.
