XII -AB make its debut on our stage at 3:30 p.m. It is quite difficult to tell whether it was a very formal affair, or a very informal one—the costumes most certainly did contradict each .other. Mr. William Dinsmore made his appearance as • master sof ceremonies and as orchestra leader ,,in an unbelievable tuxedo, ,correct to the last button. From that, the audience. (the students and teachers) settled down believ- ing to see a program of cultured _music. But, no! After -an inter- view with a Russian minister, who stated "that -Russia` would like to see in Canada more Russians," we switched to an orchestra with 'old cow -hands" as the main .body, and a very formal conductor. The music was music never before heard on this universe, but it was -"music". How or where . 'Ken Thompson learned to play the vio- lin should appear on the '$64,000 question! Mixed with the above were two excellent piano solos by Mary Dennis. The assembly which has been held on Wednesday afternoon for quite a length of time, will soon be held on. Friday, and the tenth period activity fon that day ,will be switched- to Wednesday. The Teasonfor the switch is to enable the members of the bugle band to come to the assembly, as. Mr.. E. Wetton, who is going to look after the band, can only come on -Wednesday. By switching the days everyone will still be- allowed to come and see, or to participate in the program. $$ Each year as the week of Sea - forth District's "At Home" comes into the picture, there is always the question and problem if the school 'will be ready for that night. When you look at the state ' of the gym first"'thing in the morn- ing, you cant but help wondering if there will even be a slight pos- sibility of all that, work being fin- ished. The floor is strewn with paper, paints and "people," and the stage is so cluttered that it's impossible to, see the floor, but nevertheless, :the decoration com- mittee is jumping ahead by leaps and bounds. The back of the gym, under .the supervision of Ruth Teall and Marg Stewart, looks like a series of archways made of dif- ferent shades of, pink. There is a grand piano under this, which is playing the music, accompanied by violins, for John Scott's bal- lerinas.' Neil Broadfoot, who is the committee's supervisor, is busy working at the stage to finish his castle and the needed trimmings. The rest of the decoration com- mittee, plus any volunteers, are also hopping around, doing any odd jobs which are continually springing up. Some of the other decorations which will be needed for the lunch room and lounge rooms, are also being started. However, the ma- jority.of the work for these rooms will be done on Friday afternoon. The lounge room, smoking room and powder room will have its furniture supplied by Box's Furni- ture. Store.. and •.. Whitney's .Furni- ture Store. $ $ Question of the week: Herb, what girl who lives on Main St., are you escorting to the dance? O.E.S.

EMPHASIS ON QUALITY - (Continued from Page 1) ' ernor of Ontario, who functioned that one answer might be the mar- keting of hogs at 10 or 15 pounds lighter than presently is being done. He recalled that this course had been recommended but, in practise, the individual farmer was not not too co-operative. Any pro- gram of curtailment, to be suc- cessful, must depend on the car- rying out of the entire program and necessitated rules and regula- tions. The mere fact that •tl a success of a program depended on rules and regulations made it- difficult of fulfillment because the average farmer, more' than any other citi- zen in the country, values his free- dom and his independence. He re- sents being told what he should do and when he should do it, the speaker said. Sometimes, he con- tinued, this independence can be carried to a point where wit detri- mental to the farmer's own cause. Urging his audience to give con- sideration to steps which each could take in order to contribute to a solution, Mr. Carbett,stressed the matter of quality and the need of keeping production in line with demand. . The speaker was •'introduced by A. Y. McLean, who recalled Mr. Carbett's association, acid that of his father, Fred Carbett, with the Seaforth Agricultural Society, ov-, er a period of many years. R. W. McMillan expressed the apprecia- tion of the gathering to Mr. Car- bett for his interesting and . help- ful address. Present Trophies During the evening trophfes won by 4-H contestants at the Fall Fair in September, were awarded. The Dr. McMaster trophy, for thebest baby beef calf, was presented by Dr. McMaster to Miss Jean Scott, and the Seaforth Co-operative tro- phy for best junior heifer calf, won by Joseph G. Murphy, and prc- sented by Ross Hennigar of the Co-op. Miss Betty Storey exhibit- ed the best dairy calf and was awarded the Seaforth" Creamery trophy by H. H. Leslie. Members of the clubs were introduced by Club Leaders Erwin Trewartha and R. W. Campbell. Reviews Activities Iteviewing the year's activities, Mr. Bolton pointed out that while financially there were difficulties in its prime responsibility to the commupity that it served, the fair had been an outstanding success. He mentioned particularly the lead in ag�tural matters which the socie had provided and the num- ber of 4-H Clubs with which it co- operated. During the year a fea- ture of its activitywas a presen- tation of "Crossroads, ' and a high ilght in the long history of the so- ciety was the presence here in September of the Lieutenant Gov- DARKENED- TOWNS One of the sadder "signs of the times" in Ontario today is the number of smaller communities that have lost their movies. Un- doubtedly a tribute to the appeal of television, it is also a minor tragedy to the towns and villages affected. The community movie house was more than a place of business; it was also a bright spot where peo- ple gathered to say hello to on another and to seek, in entertai7b- rdin- Here t� the ment, some relief from the ary"cares of everyday livi they found time to chucklta confusion of Ma and Pa KeY"tle, time to share an hour or two with some adventurous Westerir' cow- pokes, or to let some more compli- cated movie lead them through emotions too seldom stirred. The lights of the ,marquee signi- fied a warm welcome, a place where fun and entertainment were on tap, a place where the ordinary cares could be forgotten f o r awhile. The movie had become an event in the week, an outing for Mom, Dad and the children. Now, in too Many towns, the marquee is dark. A sign on the entrance door announces the- dos- ing of another community play- house, and Main Street somehow looks bleak and unfriendly each night. This is not a moan, nor is it a rebellion against the cozy appeal of television. ` This is simply a statement of .fact, with a hope that a revival of your patronage will assist your local movie in its effort to keep the house warm and to keep those lights burning. Movies are BETTER THAN EVER and are still your most economical means of ENTER TAINM'E,NT.•.-(Advt. ). at the opening of the 110th fair. Comparing growth in "various departments during the past 10 or 12 years, Mr. Bolton • said that in 1953, 152 head of cattle had been --hibited and that in 1955 this was increased to 393. In the same per- ou swine had increased from 53 to 134, and grain exhibits from none to, 65. In 1943 prize money totalled $975, and in 1955 this . had grown to $3,568. Junior exhibits were awarded prizes totalling $1,- 276 in 1955, whereas 12 years earl- ief, the amount had been but $43. The 1955 fair had featured the sec- ond largest Hereford show in On- iario, wnen 115 head were exhib- •ted, and the largest Shorthorn show with 128 head. Improved Plant In a physical sense the plant was being improved each year, and this year saw the construc- tion. of a memorial stage and dressing rooms and new fencing and facilities for the hog depart- ment. In addition to this, the Wo- men's Institute had provided ad- ditional display accommodation, and the Turf Club had completed construction of a new barn. These improvements, .Mr. Bolton said,' re- sulted in the Seaforth Society hav- ing what, undoubtedly, were the. best and most fully equipped fair grounds in H on County. He men- tioned ,partie larly It.. W. MCMI-, Ian, E. P. hesney and Stewart Dolmage, wh had contributed ex- tensively to the construction pro- gram. G. W. Montgomery, Huron Coun- ty agrieul ural representative, con- gratulatedociety on the splen- did showing it had made. Mr. Montgomery introduced Club Lead- ers Ken Stewart, R. W. McMillan, Jim Scott, Dr. Joe DePape and' Larry: Wheatley,` and said that much of the success of 4-H activi- ties and club activities was be- cause of the interest which had been taken by those who were re- sponsible for the program. Others that were mentioned included Stan Millen. Earl McSpadden, Bo b Broadfoot and Tom Whyte. In concluding, Mr. Montgomery urged all youth in the county to participate in the programs which were made available. He pointed out that agricultural industry was thevery backbone of communities such as Seaforth, and if was es- sential that emphasis be placed on those things that were impor- tant to agriculture and that this emphasis, in turn, would have the effect of materially assisting those engaged in farming. He felt that the manner in which the society was planning its work was achiev- ing this end. Name, R. W.

THE STORE WITH THE BIG VALUES TO THE EDITOR: Toronto, Jan. 16, 1956. Editor, The Huron Expositor:, Dear Sir: It is pretty cleat to me that Canada's farmers gener- ally—but especially our wheat farmers—have a keen concern in Washington's "Soil Bank" plans, under which a further 12,000,000 acres will be taken out of wheat. As your "Farm News" in the current issue aptly puts it: "The economic conditions expected this year in Canada and the rest of the world should be favorable to Cana- dian agriculture. Farm cash in- come will probably be about the same as in 1955. Farmers' deliver- ies of grain. are 'unlikely, to vary much from last year. If only an average crop is - produced, mar- ketings could be maintained by a liquidation of the present large quantities of farm -held grains." Almost at the same hour, one of the farm leaders on the Prairies (A. T. Baker, Alberta Wheat Pool, Calgary), included a somewhat similar thought in his New Year's radio message, thus: "Many pro- ducers are holding more than a normal crop on their farms. I do not, however, lotik upon full bins as a cause for alarm. How much bet- ter it is to have on our farms grain, which in the months ahead will be converted into cash, than to have empty bins as we experi- enced on occasions in the past. Farm -stored grain is a valuable cushion against crop failures, 'go to the government when the loan matured. The Regina farmer would get $1.221/2 a bushel for No. 3 wheat (comparable grade to No. 1 Northern in U.S.) and he's al- lowed to market 300 bushels, for which he gets $367.50. But he still has 4,700 bushels on his faun. If storage •opens up, he iinay be able to sell up to' eight bushels per ac- re, or another 2,000 bushels for $2,230. That Would bring his total sales to $2,597.50. And he would have 2,700 bushels still nil his bin —wheat that he doesn't quite know what to do with."—(Western Pro- ducer, Saskatoon, Sask.).

He could repay the loan or let the wheat which we linow will periodic- ally occur in the semi -arid re- gions . . " So, may I close by bringing the following contrast, as reported by an American newspaperman who visited Western Canada and re- corded his experiences in the col- umns of your Minneapolis Tribune contemporary. The picture should deliver a message to city Cana- dians who are under the impres- sion that our quality wheat is ov- er -priced: "Let us compare the difference in prices received by two farmers, who raised 5,000 bushels of wheat on 200 acres— one near Bismarck, North Dakota, UNETIUC AND UNJUST By their nature. alcoholie beverages cannot be treated as ordinary commodities.
