B. Goudie, at the annual banquet and meeting of the society in St. Thomas' Parish Hall here Thursday everting. Mr. Broadfoot, 'who served as president for two years, from 1926 •to 1928, has through the years been a faithful member of the society. He was first elected a director in 1923. Until ill health forced his retire- ment in 1950, Mr. Goudie had acted as seeretary-treasurer. Prior to that he had headed important com- mittees and served on the board of directors for many years. The awards were presented by Arthur Nicholson and Robert W. Campbell, and the following address was read by Elgin Nott: To Mr. William S. Broadfoot Mr. Elton B. Goudle: For many years the members of the Seaforth Agricultural Society have realized the extent to which you have both contributed to the success of the society. It is nearly thirty years since you, Mr.'Broadfoot, first became as- sociated with the society, and,iiud- ing that time you have co-operated faith "illy as a direr tor, as chair- man of important committee, and for two years as president. Your, Mr. Gaudio, brought 'to -the society a practical knowledge of agricultural society work, coupled with .a valuable administrative ca- pacity. We took full advantage of your knowledge and assistance, and can only regret that because of health it was not possible for you to continue longer as our secretary - treasurer. We appreciate that anything we might do could not begin to ade- quately compensate you for your contributions. At the same time we did wish to show our apprecia- tion in some'rr,anner, 'and for 'that reason we present you with agri- cultural service d'plomas as a tang- ible :mark of your valued contribu- tion to- the work of the Seaforth Agricultural Society. With the diplomas go our very best wishes for many years of continued useful service to the society and commuff- ity Chairman of the gathering was Russell Bolton, president of the so- ciety. and working with him in planning the event were Mr. Nott, Arthur Nicholson and R. W. Camp- bell. The meeting heard Gordon Ben- nett, former agricultural represent- ative in Huron .County, who last year was promoted to the position of associate director of the branch with headquarters at Toronto, The speaker was introduced by Gordon McGavin. • JUNIOR INSTITUTE REPORTING IS BEST Ontario Junior Farmer organiza- tions publish a monthly bulletin of club .actidities, and each month a report prepared by 'one of the clubs is singled out for special mention. This month the edition of the bulletin honored Isabelle Speir, of the Seaforth Junior Institute, for; her job of reporting a recent meet- ing of the Seaforth group. In their comment the editors said: . "'Phis month congratulations go to a young lady who did a good job of reporting on. the subject of re- porting. Indeed, Isabelle has ap- parently absorbed the points sug- gested by the speaker at this meet - Ing to good advantage. "The lead, in this report is good, and it gives seine,idea of what is . to follow. The peaker was the highlight of the meeting so the bulk of the report covers beta remarks. Then the other points discussed at the meeting are covered briefly, In- deed, adeed, Isabelle -followed the speak- er's suggestions to the letter, in- cluding the matter of getting the report in promptly. What more could we ask?" T.he story which Miss Speir wrote follows: "To be •a.reporter you must }nave a nose for news," remarked Mar- garet Brophy in her address to the Seaforth Junior Institute at their November meeting, held in the Sea - forth High School. Speaking from her own experience as a radio re- porter she stressed three points which are necessary for good re- porting. Accuracy In reporting meetings and in everything dealing with re- ports is important, she said. More harm is done through inaccurate reports than the goo -a done by re- porting. Speed in sending in reports. is next in importance, as news 18 in- teresting only if it 19 -ot off the I there are' e�ai dead - Ashfield f Ire a Y1 de d Ashfield Elmer Graham Blyth William Morritt Brussels Roy B.
