If you haVe lived in, Huron County Ind then moved at a later date to scone other section of the country, you must have been amazed by the numberof-people who told you that they also were natives of the grand old county. Founded with English, Irish and Scotch blood . . . Hum 1ounty has always been a pioneering •one. Her sons and daughters have blazed many trails in all parts of the Continent. Yes . . . they have trav- elled in all parts of ,Canada and the Ifnited States. Many have settled in new communities . . . but they all think well of Huron County.

Percy Passmore • will be in charge of the arrangements to make certain that vTien these former residents come .back they will /enjoy themselves heartily. Percy is ,a real farmer. He is also a real plowman. His love for the eoil is a deep-rooted thing and he has often said that he gets more real en- foymelat out of foil -owing a team on a plow than from any other' single thing, on his farm. Percy has long been associated With imuhicipal politics. Last year he was elected to. succeed the late James Lei- per as Warden of the county. He did the job up in the beet traditions and ieft with the complete. respect of ev- ery man in the council. Percy is a quiet -man. He doesn't assert himself on every trivial ques- tion which comes, along . . . but he can be quite definite on subjects of worth. Basing his convictions on ex- perience and good common sense 'he'll tell you exactly 'what he thinks. You can depend on it that no stones will be left unturned as -far as the Local Day is concerned in the matter of the International Plowing Match' in Huron County this fall.

DOMINION AMIE M*48UED 181 SPArteril BR4ISTC14 tios*hil Midnight HARRY BOYLE NOW HEARD ON C.B.C. Writer Popular Phil Osifer Column in Huron Expositor. • The -C.B.C. prograta schedule in its issue of May 31, tells radio listeners of ;its new farm commentator: "Harry Boyle, CBC's newly -appoint- ed Ontario Farm Broadcast ,Commen- tatoe, is one of those rare eembina- tions—practieal farmer and urbanite. When he sees a story, he can write it, too, for he is a trained newspaper- man as Well as a broadcaster of near- 131.five years' experience, His meth- ods are direct and he usually fueshees anything he tackles. For instance: He got into radio because he didn't like the way a newscast was being given. He went to the station man- ager. and said: "I can do better than that and Id like the chance to show you." He went to work gratis, had radio's answer - at the end of the week when he was put on the sta- tion's payroll. • "Born twenty-six years ago at St Augustine, Onterio, young Boyle grew up and was educated in a farming community along with other farmers' sons. His father kept the village store and besides ran a farm. Harry clerked in the store in the winter va- cation, helped on the farm in his sum- mer holidays. This gave •him a grand stand view of the economic tug-of-war between producer and ,consumer. Af- ter graduation he went to work on the farm and not very long after that started contributing articles .on farm problems to the Stratford Beacon - Herald and the London Free Press. 'Then Station CKNX in Wingham asked him to become its farm broad- caster and he did, chasing stories, compiling reports, answering the far- mers' questions and generally helping the rural listeners with their prob- lems, -It w -as, natural that the Strat- ford 'Beacon -Herald would think . of him ,when looking for a new Farm Editor. He found it quite a wrench to clear out his desk in that enter- prising news office this spring, but he • did, and :Ontario listeners of the CBC are finding him .an able succes- sor to Don Fairbairn, -who is now serving with the R.C.A.F. "Harry Boyle is sound but not too conveptioeal. He is tolerant but not lazy. Helesn't easly sidetracked from an idea Once it appeals to him. He waited on an attractive young lady in his father's store one evening. She bought a bottle of ,ink. Not an im- portant purchase, but by the time it was wrapped up she had already promised Harry a date. They have had quite a few since then, for the lady became Mrs. Harry. When Har- ry came to Teronto, it seemed sense bleeto drop his second initial which was "j." But all his old friends who • have known him as Harry J. through school days, farm, store, newspaper and radio days are saying this is all wrong. So from now on the New On- tario Farm Commentator "will sign himself Harry J. He learned long ago 'that the customer is always right!' .0.04,040.:1*;,,140 mel Theee iS 4Ot.'-* 'EMI, audit Will have to pp 4O,Itedi out, And Will I'vO spilled'Opt1 feel better, • Dont 'Trust the Sun • Today1 the suu ehines warmly—at lase It leas been e terrible winter; and even now I cloreteltrust it.

Th,e nice, kindly soul 'with veh.onde L now live looks with an indulgent eye on this battered relic of better dam and has taken to the habit herself. She is a woman who has always been comfortably well of, and has had a beautiful home; yet she does not think of grabbing, or pt wanting any- thing. As a matte e of fact, all .the people one really knows are pulling their weight. We have just signed a paper offer- ing shelter 'for a few hours' to any neighbor who may be bombed out. We all hope it won't happen, but we' are ready. For our own shelter there is only a tiny cupboard under the stairs; but she's the,sort of -woman with whom. One could Share such ad- versity and maintain courage and self- respect. You remember 'Gran,' who raised her glees at ber birthday par- ty and said that she was glad, glad to be alive in these vitae times? Well, this is Gran herself. We keep to our own rooms and don't worry each oth- er, and I still do my cooping on my owzi private gas -ring — unless the downstairs oven is going, When I take a share in it, for economy's sake. Thus, gradually, does one learn to fa in with the rigor of the times. She has two sons in the East, but she shows courage and cheerfulness always. 'I don't wear Dia3r heart on my sleeve,' she says, but I guess there are some rather sad and anxious hours for her down there in her pret- ty sitting -room. Wasting of Paper Now -there is this new order for-. bidding the wasting of paper --though it simply staggers me that anybody - should waste. ' For the comfort of those dear souls who send me letters, papers or parcels from Canada,t can assure them that not one scrap is lost to the war effert. It is all saved -up and, once a fortnight, put out in a neat bundle for the duration. This new order, I hope, will start a good national habit, ,foe. I am afraid we are an atrociously untidy nation. It has always been impossible to go anywhere within ten miles of a town without finding the woods and fields littered with Picnic -remains, ice-creeen cups and cigarette packets. Why on earth people can't being back 'their rebbish—or bury it—I don't know. One never sees rubbish in the streets in Scandinavia. That is One of the ,first things which,...streek ... nee about the place., It's early training, of course; make the kids rubbish - conscious and the trick is done. So here's to the new law. Neatness may be one of the good things which will come out of this 'horrible mess of war. I guess we shall learn many things. And there are folk with a lot to learn, teassure you. Some time ago, in, the lounge of a.hotel, I came upon a most unpleasant young edan—ap- pareetly in a reserved occupation, since I have never seen him in uni- form. A nasty little bit of work, that y-oung man. There were just a few ef us present and, for .our entertain- ment -and enlightenment.; he 'started telling us how e he could get a good suit without coupons. A wink and a tip, wegathered, in the right quarter, and the trick was done. 'The young idiot even mentioned the store. Of course, we were expected, to exclaim: "How smart of you! Do give'us the name of your friend!" - And then, no doubt, he would shake his . head knowingly and say that he couldn't give his pals away; and we would go home thinking what a very clever and, worldly person he was., Actually, sit- e ce, flat and disapproving greeted ia announcement. (Personally, I •found tiaYself discounting it as silly boasting, or there would have been some spectacular fireworks, friends). He caught my eye and I glared back darkly.' If he went about with that sort of tale, I said, loudly and firm- ly, there would seen be trouble for. him and for the firm in question— and the sooner the better. • Yes, the whole story*fell very flat and he thee drifted out. When he sees me now he fades rapidly from the picture, realizing that the glove is down between us. He thinks of me, you may be sure as 'that horrible little woman in the corner.' I am so glad.
