STANLEY SEEKS RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF FOX BOUNTY IN COUNTY Foxes in Stanley Township are becoming so plentiful that at the inaugural session of the township council at Varna Monday of, last week, a resolution was drafted re- questing the Huron County Coun- cil to restore the bounty on foxes. According to clerk Fred Watson, rabbit hides bring hunters a small return, while foxes are not worth anything. Council felt that it would be useless to apply a boun- ty on a township basis; the boun- ty should be county -wide. Union Section Asked Council tabled for further study a petition received from ratepay- ers of S.S. 1, requesting the for- mation of a Union School Section with the Town of Clinton. Accord- ing to a spokesman for the 15 ratepayers ,concerned, the sug- gested school section would in- clude the V.L.A. subdivision south of Clinton, along Highway No. 4. The 14 elementary school pupils in the subdivision are expected to attend Baird's schopl in Stanley township, but 12 of them attend the Clinton public school because of its proximity. The tuition fee for non-resident pupils at the town school is $8.00 per month per pupil. It had been stressed by the spokesman that if the union school section was formed, the ratepayers in the subdivision would pay the same school mill rate as taxpayers in Clinton. Grants Approved With "the newly -elected reeve, Harvey Coleman, presiding, grants of $300 each were given the Bruce - field and the Bayfield fire depart- ments. The Salvation Army was granted $35; the Huron. County Crop and Soil Improvement Asso- ciation, $25; and the usual $10 membership fee was ordered paid to the Rural Municipal Associa- tion and to the Ontario Good Roads Association. A by-law authorizing the expen- diture of $37,000 on township roads during 1955 was given two read- ings and will be subject to the approval of the Ontario Depart- ment of Highways. A by-law was passed authorizing the borrowing of up to $30,000 for the current expenditures until taxes are col- lected. The township authorized enter- ing into an agreement with the owners of land located in the township for the purpose of refor- estation. Appointed to the brucellosis committee were Allan Johnson, Russell Consitt and clerk Fred Watson.. who will act along with G. W. Montgomery, Huron Coun- ty agricultural representative and the chief veterinarian for the On- tario Department of Agriculture. Officials Named The following re -appointments were made: Frank Donnelly, Q.C., Goderich, .lrewnship solicitor; C. B. Corbett, Lucan, township engin- eer; Lloyd Keep, truant officer; Harold Penhale, weed inspector; Adam Stewart and Russell Grain- ger, sheep valuators; H. M. Han- ley, assessor and tax collector.

Parr Line Forum Calls For Fall Fair Improvement The regular meeting of the Parr Line Farm Forum was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Coleman with 25 members pres- ent. The discussion for the eve- ning was Agricultural Fairs. ! There are numerous fairs in this area which includes London, Sea - forth, Exeter, Zurich, Bayfield, Hensall and Clinton. Most of these fairs are satisfactory to a certain extent, but there is room for improvement. Grain exhibit- ing could be improved if the pre- sent one -bushel lots were raised to larger quantities this would elim- inate the hand-picking of samples. More classes for grade cattle would encourage more exhibitors; also better classification of vege- tables. Entries in the fancy wood, crafts, arts, etc., should not be eligible one year after another. We think Feeder Calf Clubs and field crop competition helps pro- mote better farming. Midways would be much better if run by local service clubs. Fair boards should strive to promote local competition in forms of entertain- ment. Euchre winners were: ladies, Mrs. Ida Dick; gents, John Sol- dan. Members of -Parr Line Farm Forum held a very enjoyable eve- ning in the school of S.S. 3, Hay, Friday, Jan.. 7, playing host to their neighbors and friends. Carl Oestreicher, of Dashwood, pre- sented a number of films, includ- ing the Coronation of the Queen, which was enjoyed by all. Pro- gressive euchre followed, the winners being: ladies, Mrs. Eldon Jarrott; gents, Gordon Coleman. Lunch was served. Evening Auxiliary President Receives Life Membership The Evening Auxiliary met Monday night with Mrs. McKel- vie, president, in the chair, and opened wi•u prayer. Mrs. R.
