Ice Fantasy Provide Thrills Combining colorful costumes with fine skating ability, Canadian Ice Fantasy of '54 thrilled, a large audience last Friday night at the Goderlch Memorial Arena, A show with something for the whole fam- ily, it featured Miss Yvonne Brod- ers, of Denver, Colo. For the chil- dren there was the fairy tale story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears set in a novel interpretation on ice. For thrills, there was the daring of the Flying Wrendts of Ringling, Barnum and Bailey Cir- cus fame, performing trapeze acts high above the ice surface. Follow- ing the overture by the Fantasy orchestra, the ensemble was seen. in "Black Velvet," six men and 12 girls in a 'brilliant routine. Then came Johnny Yano, of Saskatoon, as a sohool boy comic.

He went on to say that he wouldn't dare suggest a solution to the "hamstringing" sterling vs. dollar situation, whigli has weakened Canada's position with Great Britain. He urged all' farm groups to work with the governments in ar- riving at a Long-term policy for ag- riculture in Canada. ' Mr. 'McKercher said he felt that a combination of price-eupport pol- icy, a two -price system and con- trolled production was necessary to help the situation. "If farmers want a floor price policy, I believe. that our farm organizations must have some say in what these floor prices should be. "For a two -price system to be workable, it seems to me that there must ibe some stability in the do- mestic price and that is where a price floor comes in. If either a two -price system or a floor -price is to be effective in the long run, there must be some sort of con- trolled ontrolled marketing," he said. He re- ferred to the cheese producers who have embarked on what he termed' a two -price system, and seemed, to be doing a splendid job in gelling cheese to 'Britain. Gordon Greig, Bluevale, secre- tary-fieldman, said that the federa- tion's financial position was excel- lent this year. In almost all cases, with the exception of those which are giving a grant, the townships are paying the two -fifth mill levy for federation fees. Plans for next year include a calfhood vaccination campaign within the county. The federation assisted' again this year with the warble fly program. An insurance program in the county aide a646 to the•¢eddration semen -- 'Waieb Me enabled an 1Offiee to be kept in Clinton, Mr. Greig reported 'on the sue• cess of a leadership training course held for township and county fed- eration personnel, on parliamen- tary aprocedure. A similar course may be held next year, he said. Make Grant To Youths In 1953 a grant of '$10.00 to 80 youths in each township nominated by his township federation, who attended the farm economics course at the O.A.C„ Guelph, was paid by the county federation. The Ooderioh Elevator Fund provided a grant of $10 for anyone under 30 years attending the win- ter inter short course at the O.A.C. Mr. Greig said that there is still 3129 in the account and that a grant will be available again in 1953-54. The. 1953 field day, sponsored'an- nually by the federation, while it was not successful from a financial view, was a success from a pro- motional standpoint, he said. Mr. Greig said that it has been suggest- ed uggested that an agricultural display, similar to that sponsored ,by the federation at the county's first trade fair at Clinton in August, be placed at local fairs within the county. Brief reports were heard from Charles Coultes, Belgrave, of the Beef Cattle Committee, and Bert Lobb, Hoimesville, of the Hog Pro- USBORNE & HIBBER7' MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO.
