At the sarne time, .the numbers engaged in .thee program and. the results which it attains. sug- gest the benefits which will accrue to the county in future years when those now in 4-H will take their place..as the heads of.H.uron farms. Carrying out a successful 4-H pro- gram in a county the size of Huron, involving such a great proportion of . Huron. youth, is a tremendous task. The fact. that the program has pro- ,. duced_,such . obvious results and the clocklike precision with which the Achievement . Night routine is car- .ried,out,-is a .tribute to the prepara- :tions•,..and' work of agricultural re- presentatives, Gerry Montgomery and Art Bolton, and to the broad and sympathetic support which club leaders' throughout, the county con- tribute. There _Never is Something ' For . Nothing The matter is raised frequently but it seems that there always will be people who will reach out ex- pecting .to receive .a bargain in either .goods or services `when some stranger approaches ,thein and says he can do it cheaper. We .are reminded of this by com- ment in,the Meaford Express, warn- ing against street salesmen: "Legitimate merchants are com- plaining..a.bout sales of radios, .tele- vision and cars by persons who are not registered dealers and who pay no buslnessLtax for operation. "Since ,'time immemorial bona -fide dealers 'have been plague, by the quick change artist, the fellow who slips into ;town with something that ai3 supposed::to be better,and:sells for less. "It'may'be.a fancy chimney, a new type of siding,.yard goods' or, as in the present case, television -and cars. ,People -working from homes are im- porting cars::and television and sell- ing them cheaper than reputable dealers with fliI1 service facilities. "The customer who .buys from these .sources ;is liable ixo be taken, and taken badly because the sales- man in many cases does not have the reputation, .knowledge :sir 'tools to give service. "One television man told us that sets are being i Qld and improperly I installed. When service is needed the customer falls back on the regu- lar dealer and in some cases expects fast ;service and reduced prices. ."The customer forgets that he cheated - himself when he bought from:a::source where:he could expect no guarantee and no service. People should i remember that,the man who runs ai•regular store, .business or of- fice charges no more. than enough to pay his expenses • and, gleet his em- ployees' wages. "The ., fly-by-night ° salesman from out-of;:town and the man operating from. his home can give -no assurance of satisfaction." :Secretaries (The Dutton Adyar_rce) Every :time we atted_ta, meeting .we are .impressed anew at the im- portance of secretaries. ;If.an organ- ization:has a good one,ttlie organiza- tion .itself .invariaby is,.,,a progressive one.

However, air mail will speed the delivery and for many mailings this method will avoid disappoint- ment. To enable the postal staff to han- dle your mailings as speedily as ,possible, mailers are urged to fol- low the provisions made for mail- ing at the post office. The separa- tion ,of letters into local (Seaforth and- Rural Routes, Egmondville and St. Columban). and out-of-town bundles is of great assistance when tied and dropped in the pro- per receptacle.

Concentrated Milk Producers Hear Union Speaker The annual meeting of the IJolnaesville Concentrated Milk Producers' Association met last Thursday in the board room of the agricultural office, Clinton. De- spite bad weather a large number of produeers and their ladies at- tended to hear Albert Cormack, president of the Ontario Farmers' Union. William Tilden, Harriston, vice- president, and Charles Milton, To- ronto, secretary -manager of the Concentrated Milk Producers Mar- keting Board, were also in attend- ance. TJie election of officers returned Edgar Rathwell as president, with Lorne Rodges, Goderich vice-pres- ident; members of the board, Gra- ham Whiteley and Fordyce Clark, R.R. 5, Goderich; Ross Trewartha, R.R. 1, Clinton, and Lindsay Eyre, Brucefleld. Robert Welsh, R.R. 2, Bayfield, was returned as secre- te ry-treasurer. Mr. Cormack expressed his plea sure to have the opportunity of speaking to a\ commodity group with members of the provincial marketing t board in attendance. There has been a great deal of misunderstanding as to the objec- tives of the Farm Union program as it affects marketing boards, Mr. Cormack stated. The Farm Union believes that marketing boards are necessary to contact the market and see that the mar- ket is paying all it should. "However," Mr. Cormack sug- gested, f`how can marketing boards gain more than at present when they have no control over imports into the market from outside the province, or even as has been ex- perienced lately from outside the country?" Mr. Cormack stated that the federal government had a responsibility to agriculture un- der the Agriculture Prices Support Act, which was set up to guaran- tee to agriculture producers a re- turn that would be compaeeb1e with other sections of our econ- omy, having regard to labor and investment 'required. In other words, it was a promise of parity for farm prices that has never been fulfilled.• r the Canadian Federation of president culture, recently said that parity would cost the Canadian t overn- meat $60,000;400, while support paid yearly have beers 51,000,0.00, He said -'also that Canagi it Con kitmnfrs `a1id taxpayer4• rirou dnd stdnti :rah fsui i*rity sup o4�ts 'be 440000 vriNtowiAitt oto tF' t � .i;>< l � u��, .✓ i� �}t 7j k� .,5,r,/ tr ,1 1�....
