Most lhicks x\ Hibbert Township Hears Decision On Drain Appeal Hibbert Council met in regular session Monday evening with all members present, and Reeve But- son presiding. Provincial Aid to Drainage grants were received for the Tyn, dall and Barry drains, and the clerk was instructed to distribute the payments to the assessed own- ers on the drains. The Murphy drain cleanout has been completed and passed, and damages to lands and crops were ordered paid. The balance of the warble fly spraying accounts in the amount of $1,011.11 was paid. A steel cul- vert was ordered for concessions 6 and 7 at a cost of $1,620.00, and the clerk authorized to advertise for tenders for a cement culvert on concession 12, tenders to, be opened at 9 p,m., June 27. Judge H. D. Lang's decision on John Drake's appeal from his as- sessment, re McMillan Municipal Drain, was received, and Mr. Drake's assessment was lowered by $17.00. The judge ordered the costs of Mr. Drake's appeal, which includes the engineer's and clerk's fee, and $17.00, a total of $51-00, to be assessed to the drain and divided pro rata among the lands affected, including those of Mr. Drake, therefore an amendment to the by-law is to be made before the final passing. G. Mitchell and M. Christie, re- presentatives for the Mitchell Ag- ricultural Society, called on the council and a donation of $110.00 was given to the society. The clerk was instructed to pre- pare a by-law to levy a rate of 1.36 mills on $724,185.00 assessment in the Ausable River Construction Authority Area, to raise the sum of $1,009.37 on the 1955 tax roll. There was no levy made in 1954, and this has caused the increase in the rates. Road accounts for $2,623.10 and general accounts for $1,995.06 were ordered paid.

Ross, of 1517 Dougall Ave., Windsor Ont., takes refuge in his poetic ability to indicate the fact that he is looking forward to being present at the Reunion: We are coning from the city, We are coming from the plain, We are coming to Old Seaforth, We are coming home again. We're on our way to Huron, Where the River Maitland flows, Where the Spies are red in autumn And the sugar maple grows. Where we'll have a happy time As in the days pf long ago, As we wander through old scenes And meet friends we used to know. So when August rolls around We're hoping to be on hand, To see what is taking place On the old town's main strand. Another Old Boy who is looking forward to the Reunion is F/S. A. R. Coutts, of R.C.A.F. Station, Summerside, P.E.I. In his letter to A. Y. McLean, President of the Reunion Association, F/S. Coutts says: "I received yor very wer come invitation to revisit Seaforth for the week of July 30 to August 3. It will be a chance to meet numerous acquaintances from for- mer years. I have been keeping abreast of the developments from your column in The Huron Exposi- tor, and everything points to a 'gala' reunion. i• "If my present plans aren't in- terrupted, I will be in Seaforthi .on the above dates. "Thanking you for your invita- tion and continued success toward the best Reunion and Centennial Seaforth or surrounding towns have ever bad." 1 Indicating that she was anticipat- ing being present for the Reunion, Mrs. Agnes D. McKay, of Kent- ville, Man., suggests that there should be a tribute to those who have passed on. In this connec- tion the assoefation is giving con- sideration to• a ceremony which will mark in a fitting fashion the contribution of those who came to the territory a hundred years ago have made to the Seaforth as it is today. Because of illness, Mrs. Harry Hicks, 672 Adelaide St., Carthage, New York, will be unable to be present. 1 1 Mrs. Annie S. Robinson Henry, of 443.0 Lakeview Drive, R.R. 2, Beaverton, Michigan, in a , letter to Mayor E. A.

In her fetter she indicates the names of others to whom invitations should go for- ward and says: "I have been away from Seaforth for a good many years, I think 20 to be ex- act. I doubt there would be very few I would remember at this time, but would like to be there to renew old acquaintances. -"I.-suppose you did get in touch with my sister, Mrs. Gary • Rich- ards, and my brother, Joe Robin- son, of Lakewood, California. The Seip girls probably gave in their names. I also have a friend, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. P. Littlewood, of 314 Paplor St., Wyandotte, Mich. He used to work there." Logan Council Seeks Subsidy Logan Council held its regular meeting with all members present, the reeve presiding. Road 'ac- counts amounting to- $8,962.84 and miscellaneous accounts totalling $5,928.52, were ordered- paid. H. Jackson, warble fly inspector, re- ported that the spraying for 1955 was all completed. The number of cattle sprayed were: first spray, 11,454; second, 10,992, and 1,057 head brushed. The reeve and clerk were auth- orized by council to submit the accounts to the department for subsidy. Seven tenders were re- ceived on the Willow Grove bridge and the contract was awarded to Wm. Holley, Durham, for the sum of $7,201.80. The - ratepayers • on the Watt, Ritz Extension and Diehl Drains are to be notified that 75 per -gent of their assessment will be accepted by the treasurer until June 30; after that date deben- tures will be issued for the bal- ance still owing. The treasurer reported that $865.91 of 1954 un- paid taxes were turned into the county for collection, and all col- lected taxes have }seen deposited to the tax account. The road superintendent's esti- Mate stimate of $60,000.00 t, be spent on roads in 1955 was -approved by council. The clerk informed the council a report had been received I from Ellice Township on the Cam- eron Dram. and was ins cted to notify the ratepayers a ected the report would be read July 4 at 2 p.m. Council then adjourned to meet again July 4 at 1 p.m. - Saving Labor in Chore Routine A saving of 256 hours of labor and 42 miles of walking in a year, resulted from changes in chore routine on a dairy farm at a cost ' of less than ten dollars. This new -. routine saved almost one month a year in chore time, reports the Economics Division, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, after a study of labor costs on over 1,000 Ontario dairy farms. In 1949 the owner of this dairy farm becamea member of the Dairy Herd Improvement Associ- ation of Ontario. Shortly after re- ceiving some literature on the time and motion technique of "studying dairy barn chores he de- cided to enlist the help of a friend who was in sympathy with his aims. While the farmer went about his tasks in the usual man- ner his friend recorded the time required for all. jobs performed and the distance= travelled. On anlayzing the results, it was revealed that the operator requir- ed only 63/4 minutes and 354 steps per cow per day to do the sum- p chores. A similar study dur- t,I a winter months showed that 4 minutes and 636 steps were n ded per cow per day to do the chores. The farmer was not satis- fied, so with a very few minor alterations at little expense, in- creased his labor efficiency to the extent mentioned, and still main- tained the high quality of milk that had always been produced. Changes in chore routine such as those tried by this dairy farmer can be made on any farm. Usual- ly it requires only a questioning attitude towards every part of the routine and recognition of the need for a change.

Natureis thea sear at her best,and i the air is fresh and invigorating. to ga w Plowed fields have given way to the green of growing seeds and grains. Grass, that wonder plant wittietu which human life could not 'exist, covers much of . the land. Dairy cows now roam in lush pastutes. As you view this scene, has it ever occurred to you how closely your welfare is linked with that of the dairy farmer? His cows, skilfully tended, convert these growing plants into milk for the dairy foods that mean so much to your healthful .. living. Your purchases of his milk and butter and cheese make it possible for him to operate his dairy farm. Consider the far-reaching importance of these purchases. Whether you're a salesman, housewife, factory worker or dentist, your purchases of dairy foods contribute to your own income stability. One in every six Canadians, 2,500,000 persons, are dependent on the industry ... farm families, farm labour, dairy plant employees, truckers and many others. Their purchases include specialized items like tractors, milking machines, feeds and fertilizer costing many millions of dollars. In ,addition, these 2,500,000 people buy shoes, food, eletstrical appliances, clothing, cosmetics, theatre tickets, insurance policies and countless other items. This one-sixth of the population are big consumers s of the goods and services produced' by the other five -sixths. • It is evident then, that we in Canada all are inter -dependent for mutual well-being.
