Executive ,meeting at Clinton in the morning, business meeting at Clinton in the afternoon and a banquet and dance in Seaforth at night. An executive meeting of the On, tarso Wheat Prodpcers was held in Toronto on Thursday, Oct. 12. Due to the fact that other commodity groupss were having difficulty en - Porcine their marketing schemes, it was decided not toP ress for a. wheat scheme at the present time. This will be done after the pre- sent marketing legislation has been reviewed and we hope altered, to give more controls of •the selling of produce. Farmers throughout the Province have done a remarkable job of storing their wheat this fall. With the exception of a few areas, there was not a rush of wheat onto the market sit threshing time. At that time /eke price offered was $1.50 per bushel. The price has now climbed to $1.65 per bushel, and should continue to rise as the win- ter consumption of wheat increas- es the demand. We are still not receiving value for our wheat. Today screanings are selling for, $3.10 per cwt., or $62 per ton. Wheat is selling for $1.65 per bushel, $2.75 per cwt., or $55 per ton. This is for cleaned wheat and you can take home for the hens or grind for the pigs what is cleaned out of your wheat. It would be interesting to have a ton of screanings run through the cleaner to see what we are get- ting for $62 per ton. Silver Wedding Day Celebrated On Sunday, Oct. 8, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Chisholm, Bayfield Rd.,enter- thined the members of their fam- ily and a number of friends to mark the twenty-fifth year of their mat riage.

The members of the Seaforth Women's Institute held their Octo- ber meeting on Tuesday of last week at the home of Mrs. John Davidson, Huron Road West. This was the Citizenship Education meeting, with Mrs. Gordon McKen- zie and Mrs. John Davidson in charge. The guest speaker, Miss Maud Hartry, gave a very inter- esting talk on "Citizenship." The meeting opened by singing the Institute Ode, the Mary Stew- art Collect `and the Lord's Prayer in unison. The minutes of the September meeting were read and approved. The roll call was an- swered by "What's your beef in the new public school curriculum." Communications were read. includ- ing the resolution to be presented at the W.I. in London. Conference It was decided not to apply for the legislative grant and d also to en- quire the cost of maintaining a child in Europe. Also a shower will be held for unfortunate chil- dren. The training school for group leaders, held in Clinton Oct. 16 and 17, was discussed. It was decided not to cater to the McKil- lop Federation banquet, also that we purchase a wreath for Memor- ial Day, Nov. 11. The opening euchre and dance of the season will be held in Card - no's Hall on Friday, Oct. 27. A reading by Mrs. John Davidson and a piano solo by Mrs. Collins were enjoyed. A vote of thanks was moved to Miss Hartry, the hos- tess, Mrs. Davidson, and all who took part in the program. The meeting closed with "God Save the King," and lunch was served. To the Editor Editor, The Duron Expositor: Dear Sir: In the issue of your paper of October 13, I notice a pic- ture of two young men holding up, by its outspread wings, a turkey buzzard which they had shot on the 2nd concession of Tuckersmith. It was luclty for those marks- men that they weren't in Spanish. Honduras, Central America, when they shot that bird. On the shores of the Caribbean Sea, the turkey buzzard is strictly protected by law, as it is the national scaven- ger, keeping the beaches and jun- gle free of decaying corpses of fish, alligators and sundry dead carrion. Buzzards are similarly protected for the same reason in some of the States on the Southern Atlantic coast. In Honduras the penalty for killing a turkey buzzard was 50 pesos (about $30 in our money at that time—over 60 years ago). One Honduran member of their legisla- tive body once suggested that in- stead of a fine, the offender be re- quired to eat the dead buzzard -- raw. Soon after my arrival in the country I shot a turkey buzzard— the first I had ever seen—thinking it was a wild turkey. I was promptly haled before the Spanish Commandante (military magis- trate) and faced the fine or a so- journ in the cavildat,(,jajil). Thanks to my slight knowledge of Spanish, I was able to convince the official that as a newcomer from the North, I didn't know a turkey buz- zard was protected; that I mistook it for a wild turkey. So he remit- ted the fine, and I parted from him with a fervent "much gracias, Senor," and thanked my stars that I hadn't been sentenced to eat the carcass of the foul bird—raw. If any more are seen in Tucker - smith, don't shoot them. They clean up the dead horses and cows that have been dragged back to the bush and left there to save the trouble of burial. Thanking you, Mr. Editor. R. J. DUNSMORE Wallacetown, Ont. CONSTANCE The regular monthly meeting of the W.M.S. and W.A. of Constance United Church was held at the home of Mrs. Brenton, Londes- boro, on Thursday.

The nourishing glass of mills from Grandma is the happy ending to this story. It started when Nature put aluminum in the earth itself. That is why this important mineral is right in the milk we drink. 2. And Nature gave aluminum qualities that make it ideal in contact with food. Many milk pails .. many parte of modern mincing machines are made of aluminum. 3. From farm to dairy ... from country to city ... rich., wholesome Canadian milk is being increasingly carried in alumidum containers to reach yon fresh and pure. 4. And to cap it all, many bottles of milk are protection -sealed with shining aluminum foil tops. Ahuninum assures cleanliness for this moat sensitive of all foods. • No other material is more "food -friendly” than aluminum.
