!set up marketing boards somewhat
similar to the Bean Marketing
Bord, where a deduction is taken
from each bushel sold. If this
money is needed to stabilize pric-
es, it is 'used; if not, it is paid
back to the grower. We feel that
only in cases of emergency should
a two -price system be used, as Na-
ture will take care of the surpluses
in due time.
The Huron County Court House
was discussed. It was unanimous-
ly- agreed that the old County
Court House should be retained es
a historic site and possible loca-
tion for the Huron County Mus-
eum.

FIRESIDE FORUM
The Fireside Farm Forum met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver
Anderson with 19 adults present.
The topic, "Farm policy in'relation
to production," was discussed. The
forum thought ke ideal method is
a world food bank, but since this is
not likely in the dear future, it
was thought the next best is a
two -price system. The forum
thought farmers should produce to
capacity in needed, products, so
that the 'hungry of the world' could
he fed. The two -price syotenrwould
enable these poorer countries to
buy our surplus and therefore save
our economy at home by not al-
lowing such surplus to accumulate.
The international stabilizing fund
sounds like a good system for
smaller countries, bp t in Canada,
where there is such a variety of
climate and soil, and farms so
scattered, it might not work out to
advantage,
The euchre winners were Mrs.
Dolores Howatt, Mrs. Eric Ander-
son, Bert Hoggart, Douglas Riley
and James Howatt.

S.S. NO. 2 FORUM
SS. No. 2 Farm Foium met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ellwood
Clark ' Monday evening of this
week. Considering the fact that
driving conditions were very poor,
the attendance was very good.
Questions for discussion 'were!
'In view of the fact that a world
food bank does not appear likely
in the near future, what kind of
marketing and production policy
would be best for Canadian farm-
ers? • For example, should Canada
adopt any of the other five plans
suggested in the 'Guide', or a com-
bination of some of these Plana,
or what?" Plan 1: Price supports;
Plan 2: Two -price system; Plan 3:
Controlled production; Plan 4: Co-
op insurance as a stabilizer; Plan
5: Food bank or the moving of
surpluses. This group 'does not
like priee supports, 'but favors a
Co-op insurance plan if it could be
properly worked out, The other
two groups said price supports
should still be continued.
We say goods and services
should the allowed to move freely
from one country to another and
be paid for in either cash or goods,
whichever would work' out to the
advantage of ail concerned. We
are also in favbr of a two -price
system with regards to surplus,
goods, which depress the market
and cause real 'hardship fdr the pro-
ducer. And again, we think the
producer Should have more cpn-
trol over the marketing and sale of
his products.
The group also discuesed the
wrecking of the Court House at
Goderich and find that after scene
discussion we are not in favor of
wrecking this 'building, although
some of the Members reel they
would like to personally inspect the
Said Wilding to get a clearer pic-
ture in this matter.

group semi-finals. The 800 fans
saw the local Baldwins take their
invaders•in the most- one-sided bat-
tle Wingham has staged on Sea -
forth ice this season.
Jack Muir walked off with the

ham mesh twice in the first period
and once in the second. Don Jes-
son and Cheeta Chouinard also fea-
tured high on the Seaforth scor-
ing sheet as they each picked up
a pair.
In the opening 20 minutes of ac-
tion the Baldwins broke through
the Wingham defence sitimes as

they swept five counters side the

Losses Cause Concern
ToMcKillopinsurance
, Direct losses totalling $38,842.56
were experienced by the McKillop
Mutual Fire Insurance Co. in 1963,
it was learned at the annual meet-
ing orrnerobers of the company in.
the Town Hall here on Friday. To
this amount was added reinsurance
losses of $13,540.66. However, re-
insurance recovery was such as to
result in a net loss of $29,078.38, or
$10,588.67 higher than in 1952.
President John L. Malone presid-
ed at the meeting,. which re-elected
retiring 'directors, Robert Archi-
bald' and J. E. Pepper. S. H. Whit-
more, who had resigned, was re-
placed by Alistair Broadfoot. The
attendance of members was small
for the 77th annual meeting.
M. A. Reid, manager and secre-
tary -treasurer of the company, in
reviewing the year's activities, in-
dicated the concern of the direc-
tors as a result of an increasing
number of fires, which, in many
cases, could have been prevented.
He told the members the company
showed an increase of $500,000 in
net insurance in force.
Stressing the necessity of con-
tinued care on the part of policy-
holders if losses were -to be ,held
down, Mr. Reid said: "I regret,
to report a year of very heavy loss-
es. Our major losses were five
barns -two from lightning, two un-
known and one from a tractor left
running in an open shed. Live-
stock losses, even with the exces-
sive lightning storms, were not ex-
cessive -$3,269.35 in open field's,
$2,890 in buildings .destroyed by
lightning, and $1,000 in unkovvn
barn fire, for a total of $7,169.35.
vYour Board is quite concerned
with the use of artificial heating
used in and around buildings; also
the use of tractor and gasoline pro-
pelled vehicles in and around build-
ings. •
"Our major fires resulted in a
heavy loss to your Company, but in
almOst every case our assureds suf-
fered an even greater financial
loss."
During the afternoon a film,
"Fire On the Farm," was shown.
At a meeting of the Board which
followed, John H. McEwing was
elected president and Robert Archi-
bald vice-president.
mark of the period, -when Jack
Muir counted twice in lour sec-
onds.
The second period action was not
quite so one-sided, but ‘the Bald-
wins still held a decisive edge on
the play, and were able to.capital-
ize on three more tallies as they
held a firm 9-0 lead at the end of
two ,periods of play.
Final frame fracases had the re-
feree twosome of Dick and, Pat
Gardiner holding a full-time job in
keeping the tempers cool. Cabin
Bell was the boy that started the
ball rolling when he gave a strong
protest to roughing penalties hand-
ed out to Storey and Nash.
Wingham did break through on
a scoring spree as they were able
to connect four times in the final
10 minutes ()faction. Before Wing -
ham started rolling, Seaforth was
able to notch three more to take
a larger lead than ever. Bud Lott
teamed up with.Don, Nash fhr the
first Wingham pair before setting
Nash itt the clear for two.
