District Forums Are Divided Mullett Farm Forum Mullett Farm Forum met Mon- day evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Watson with an at- tendance of 15 adults and five .children. The topic was "Govern- ment or Produce Marketing," and after listening to the broadcast and reading of . the News Letter by the leader, Mrs. F. Walter, groups were formed for discus- sion and to answer the questions. Question 1: Do you think that it is necessary to have government farm Marketing boards rather than producers' boards 'to: (a) ef- ficiently handle price supports and surplus disposal. Answer: Govern - anent marketing boards can more (efficiently handle price supports and surplus disposal, especiall where a majority of it has to be exported; (b) Regulate voluble of Production and marketing. An- swer: Producers can handle Mar- treting and production of their sown products better than govern - anent boards, providing -they have legislation to control them. A gov- ternment controlled board wouldbe the most feasible way Of applying a non -incentive floor price, and if the Governnrient is as good a sales - avail as tax collector, there Would be no .marketing problems. (c) Stabilize farm prides. An- Swer: Producer marketing boards should be able to help stabilize farm prices with the help of the gOvernment The Farm Forums, Junior Far- mers' Federation of Agridultute, junior Institutes and Women's stittitee„who have entered the Sate -Driving COritest, Will Send 010 delegatee frOM.,eaehfirgardsa.

After listening to the broad- cast, there was a good discussion on the topic, "Government or Pro- ducer Marketing Boards." The forum' felt that both mar- keting boards had a place. The Producers' Marketing Board was the best for all products consum- ed in the country, but that the Government Farm Marketing Board could do a better .job for exports and the sale. of larger produced commodities, such as wheat. After,the discussion, euchre was enjoyed and a lovely Valentine lunch was served by the hostess god her helpers. The next meeting of the forum will be held at the home of Mr. and -Mrs. E. Clarke.

The topic for discussion was, "Government or Producers Marketing." Question 1: Do you 'think it is necessary to have government farm marketing boards rather than'producers' boards to: (a) ef- ficiently handle price supports and surplus disposal; (b) regulate vol- ume of production and marketing; (c) stabilize farm prices. Answer: From Ontario's view- point, producers' boards should prove more satisfactory. The Gov- ernment should handle the wheat and butter, and on the remaining products the producer could set up its own marketing boards. A government floor price, such as we have on hogs, is a necessity. (b) In order to regulate market- ing, we would have to control pro- duction. We think we could regu- late the volume of production by education. (c) It is very hard to stabilize farm prices, except to put a floor price on products, or a stop -loss price. Winners of progressive euchre were Mrs. Gordon Coleman, Mrs. John Soldan, Eldon Jarrott and Glenn Weido. Lunch was served by the hostess. There will be no meeting next week as it is review night.

Monday •evefilegiln St. Thomas' Parish Hall. The - port was presented by Dr. J. . Turnbull, chairman of the Sep - forth' and District Park and Re- creation Committee, whicb is hie committee in charge of the cap- vass for funds. The ,meeting was in charge IA J. E. Keating, who is treasurer Of the fund, and M. A. Reid. Dr. Turnbull pointed out that total receipts to date amounted to $21,607.11. This included $9,30 from the Lions Club draw of last year and donations from Seaforth individuals and business firms of $3,033.55, from Seaforth organiza- tions of14Q0, from out-of-distriet individuals, firms and organiza- tions of $2,405.06, and from a Sea - forth Old Boy of $1,000. The re- sults of the canvass in neighbor- ing townships was: Tuckersmith $745, Hulled $79, McKillop $109, Hibbert $35.50. In addition, $4,500 was realized from the sale of bonds held by the club. Dr. Turnbull discussed steps that were required to be taken in order to complete the campaign and to make available additional funds that would be required for the pool project. He said it was expected that the canvass of areas which had not yet been covered would be completed early in the spring. In addition to this; a num- ber of organizations had indicat- ed a willingness to participate- and it was expected that these pro- posals would be proceeded with. Donations were continuing to be received, particularly from out-of- town residents. The balance re- maining to be raised amounted to approximately $20,000, he said. ' Estimated cost of the pool and fittings is $40,017.08, A. Y. McLean, chairman of the Park Committee, told the club. This is made up of the contract for the cement work of $16,399; contract for the equip- ment and installation,$15318; ex- cavation, $2,000; provision of nec- essary drains, water and hydro service, $2,300; engineering fee* $1,500; alterations to the existing building, $2,000; grading and seed- ing, $500. Mr. McLean said that the cement contract was 68 per cent completed; the equipment contract, 78 per cent; excavation, 100 p r cent, and services, 87 per cent. Of the total estimated cost, $20,368.15 had been paid. It was expected that work would be pushed to completion as soon as the weather was suitable, so that the new pool could be brought into use early in June. The com- mittee was reviewing arrange ments necessary to provide for its proper operation, he said, and was taking steps to insure that every- thing would be in readiness for an early opening. Provision is to be made also for the construction of a wading pool. Members discussed the project in detail and questions were an- swered by members of the com- mittee as to the details of the work and the manner in which•it was progressing. On the recommendation of the club executive. approval was giv- en to an application being made for the incorporation of the club as a limited company. It was ex- plained that, in view of the sub- stantial physical assets held by the club, a better operation would result if incorporation was pro- ceeded with. The step was being taken on the recommendation of the Provincial Lions organization. CHIMNEY FIRE QUELLED Seaforth firemen answered an alarm Wednesday morning from the residence of James Aitcheson, Goderich St. West. The alarm re- sulted when a chimney at the rear of .the residence caught fire. Ac- cording M Fire Chief John F. Scott, the fire was extinguished by the use of dry chemicals, and no damage resulted. 7,1956, 8 n All Goderich Street ouncil OK's Sewer Exten a Parking on Goderich St. West will be banned if approval of the Department of Highways ean be obtained, Seaforth Council decided at a meeting Monday evening. The "No Parking" proposal came as an alternative to a suggestion ad- vanced by Mayor McMaster that the travelled portion of Goderich Street be widened from three, to seven feet, by the elimination of the curb and boulevard on .the south side of the street. It was considered some action had to be taken because of the narrow road created by parked cars. At the moment parking is prohibited on the south side between Main and Jarvis Streets. At the same time,- council ap- proved a proposal advanced by Mayor McMaster to proceed with the installation of a sewage sys- tem extension on Goderich Street at the time when the roadway is rebuilt by the Department of High- ways as a link on No. 8 Highway. At an earlier meeting, council had urged the Department of High- ways to complete the work during the present' year. Mayor McMaster explained that if the street was widened as it is being rebuilt, the Ontario Depart- ment of Highways would pay one- half the cost of the width overthe- regulation 22 -foot right-of-way; one-half cost of curb and gutter, and if sewer was laid, would pay half the cost of eatchbasins and sewer connections. If ,curbing is broken when road is being rebuilt, the Department will replace it, the Mayor assured council. Members agreed that the P.U.C. could have placed the new light standards last year inside the side- walk, instead of outside.... Referring to widening Goderich Street roadway, Councillor B. F. Christie reminded council that a representative of the Stratford Di- vision of the Department, meetin here with council some time ago had said that very few towns hav money to spend on paved parking space on roadsides. He also re- minded council that there is a peti- tion on file, signed by more than 95 per cent of the ratepayers, against widening the street. If the road were widened, the extra width could be from three feet near Main St. to six feet at the westerly end on the north side, but only about one foot on SEES HIGHER LAND VALUES IN HURON SPEAKER TELLS McKILLOP F. OF A. An increacing demand for land, with a resulting increase in va- lues, was predicted by Huron Agri- cultural Representative G. W. Montgomery, 'who was the special speaker on the occasion of the annual meeting of the McKillop Federation of Agriculture held in the Seaforth District High School auditorium Wednesday evening. Mr. Montgomery described the position which Huron occupied in agricultural production in Canada and pointed out that the county leads in beef cattle, is near the top in hog production, and is by far the greatest producer of poul- try and poultry products of any , area in Canada. He told the well - attended meeting, which was pre- sided over by President Reuben Buuck, that McKillop Township had the greatest number of boys and girls participating in 4-H Club work of any township in the coun- ty. Mr. Montgomery was introduc- ed • b y Vice - president Gilbert Smith, and the appreciation of the meeting was expressed by Gordon Scott. Wilfred Shortreed. past presi- dent of the Huron Federation of Agriculture, discussed the work which the Ontario Federation was accomplishing. with particular re- ference to marketing plans which were now in operation. Mr. Short - reed, referring to the work which 1 grain clubs were doing. warned that experience indicated care was necessary in the introduction of new grain varieties. Frequently, full characteristics of a particu- lar variety were not indicated -un- til the second year. He stressed the advantages of the collective way of carrying on agricultural af- fairs, and indicated that it was in the interests of the average farm- er to give his unqualified support to the work of the Federation. A feature of the meeting was the annual report of the secretary - treasurer, Alvin Dodds. who re- viewed the activities of the Mc- Killop Federation during the past year. The program included a film of 4-H activities in Huron County, and a film dealing with TB work, Gordon Greig. secretary -manager of the Huron Federation, told the meeting of activities throughout the county. • and Russell Bolton, chairman for McKillop Township in the Huron TB survey, explained the work of that committee and the extent to which the various or- ganizations and individuals in the township would be asked to assist.

The Mayor informed the Meet- ing that Seaforth Clinic is.prepar- nig to provide its own parking area. Propose Meeting A possible meeting with an en- gineer from the Highways Depart- ment is being arranged for next Monday here. It was explained that the Hospital needs sewer ser- vice, and this can be established when and if the sewer is extend- ed along Goderich St. in a wester- ly direction. Delay For Year? Councillor Christie said the Highways Department should be asked to hold off for another year s the mill rate is plenty high alkAt a recent special meeting otion had been passed that the Department be asked to re- build the portion of No. 8 High- way through the town, with no specific time stated. Reeve Scoins asked whether Goderich Street West will stand up for another year, as there are signs of it breaking up now. If it does break up, you will have a gravel road, he said. The condi- tion of the eastern portion is good, members agreed. The cost should be clear before we proceed, the reeve stated. The mayor quoted a possible saving of $23,910, which could be realized of an estimated total cost of $68.000 for both road and sewer, by eliminating some previously suggested sewer extensions. Pres- ent plans are to lay a sewer on Goderich St. East, with no hook- ups, resulting in no revenue.' Councillor Kellar asked when it would be known what the cost of the sewer already installed would be. It was explained that the P.U.C. will do the billing when all lateral and frontages are determ- ined. Representing a combined com- mittee of the Seaforth and Win- throp L.O.L.'s, Harry Johnston and A. W. Dunlop asked permission to hold an Orange celebration here this July 14. This was readily grant- ed and permission was given to have concession operated by various or- ganizations as can be arranged with the town's street committee. The mayor, reporting on a re- cent Department of Planning and Development meeting held at New Hamburg, said that he and W. E. Southgate were appointed dele- gates to represent Seaforth, and that he was one of three delegates appointed to the main committee of 12, representing the four coun- ties concerned. The next meeting is set for Toronto on March 7, at the Parliament Buildings. Thermostat Installed Councillor H. H.
