We didn't mind. It is an" honor to be asked into the Scout movement and a thrill to be -able to say that you were once a Tenderfoot. To figure out just what 'fun there is in Scouting, you would have to imagine that you area 12 -year-old boy with vitality to burn, and desires that would fill the whole world to overflow- ing. Let a group of boys of Scouting age ;ear a stream of water and there will be some splashing. Somebody, is going to wind up wet as an old cluck- ing hen. " I speak from experi- ence. I 'was usually the char- acter that they threw into the. river. Oftimes as not, someone came with me. Some fun, eh? If you were a boy of tender years you would call that fun and why not? Is'' sit not better than dreaming of gun fights and stabbing? Better to have your,. bones aching from rough and tumble taetics., than your head swimming with chaos from Over -ripe gangster pro- grams! Boys like discipline. They will grumble to no end but will accept it if it is handed out 'fair and square. Boy Scout training demands that each and every boy is treated to a good- ly portion of taking orders, and plenty to eat. Games and con- tests fill in the day. What bet- ter way, to bring up a boy? 'Scouting incites the imagina- tion and satisfies the yearning to be doing something Keep a boy around the house 4111 stun mer and you'll have a tiger_ to contend with. Let hixp,,,.loose into a Boy Scout camp' for a spell and he'll come home a gentleman. Knocking off the rough edges only takes a week OT so. We mentioned how .., get to the new camp of the Seaforth Boy Scout and Girl Guide. Leaving town, you could go out three different ways. Go down through Egmondville and take the road leading to Hannah's Schoolhouse. That is the one past the Egmondville cemetery and out along the brow of the river road ... past John Mode - land's on the right, Kate Elli- son's on the left, Dave Mac- Lean's, Doc Stapleton''s on the right and around the bend in thg river that artists rave about. On your right i'S the For- rest farm;. where A l b e r t a Forrest and Marg Platt live. At the corner, turn left and swing down over Hannah's bridge past Harry McLeod's. As soon as you go over the bridge, look over to your right. The bushiand you see is the location for the new . camp. It is almost across from Bill For - rest's place. The building of the camp in- to a permanent affair will not be accomplished overnight. It will require considerable work and a fair amount of money. With the help of well-wishers we. can look forward to Sea- forth and district having an at- traction for boys and girls, with supervision and training. MORE CHICKEN'S IN HURON THAN ANYWRE IN ONTARIO (Te Goderich Signal -Star) If all the Huron County hens were to cackle and the chickens to "peep peep" at the same time, they could make more noise than the total nuffiber of chickens and hens in any other single county in Ontario. This would simply be because there are more chickens and hens in Huron County than in any other county in Ontario. The latest statistics of the Ontario... Department of just released,' shows Hu- ron County with a total of 2,- 026,100 hens and chickens. The County of Haliburton has the least- number of hens and chickens in any one `county in Ontario= 15,400, far short of Huron's total. ; The next highest to Huron is the neighboring county f Perth with a total 0f-1;62 0U North - of us, in Bruce ounty, the total is 919,500. South of Us, in Lambton County, the total is 1,457,600. Tqtals for other counties here and there throughout On- tario are: Elgin County, 552,- 100; Middlesex, 1,100,900; York, 924,700; Peel, 834,000; Kent, 848,600. Total value ofMI-furon Coun- ty's 2,026,100 hens and chick- ens in 1960 was listed as $2,- 007,100. Why should Huron County top all other counties in the raising of hens -and chickens? To get the answer to this question,. The Signal -Star con- tacted D. H. -Mires, Huron Coun- ty . Agricultural' Representative at Clinton. ,t, • Huron's Location Huron's location, close to the main feed sources in the pro- vince was given by Mr. Miles as the main reason for Huron being tops in hen and chicken production. He pointed out that the poultry production fig- ures were high in counties near Huron for as far east as Water- loo County. He stated this was due to the fact that in former days, rail rates for hauling grain from the port of Goderich was the same to any point in Huron as to any point in Waterloo County.

Trucking has now changed the picture somewhat. The location of Huron, far re- moved from large cities, with no extensive urban develop- ments, was also given as a rea- son for intensive poultry pro- duction. However, Huron is not so far distant from Toronto but what eggs and poultry in large quantities can not be eco- nomically shipped there, he said. The township Uf Howick, said_Mr.__1VIiles, is the largest producer of poultry of any township in the Courity of Hu- ron. Mr. John Westbrook, RR 2, Clinton, started off this year with 2,500 birds and now has 2,000 laying birds. He .is a district farmer who goes out for volume production in pout= try. --Mr —Wes'tbrook told The - Signal -Star he believes Huron - County's top position as a poul- try producer is because it is not in the milkshed. Since Hu- ron is not close to the large city users of milk such as To- ronto, Hamilton, London, etc., the. farmers do not go into dairying as much as' they do closer to the cities. Hence, their preference for poultry. Co TIN EORG,AtIZATION- OF . UNITED CHURCH WOMEN . PUFF'S, Mcl�#i;LOP- The rngn;,ler ranua y Meeting of Duff's Church, McKillop, took the form of an -organizational meeting of the United Church Women, at the home of Mrs. Aaron Jantzi, - with' the new president, Mrs. R, - S. ' McKer- cher, in charge. The -Scripture, Romans 8:28-39, was 'read by Mrs. Ken Stewart, followed by the Lord's, Prayer in unison. The roll- call was answered by the payment of fees. The min- utes of the joint meeting that was held at Winthrop was read by the 'secretary, Mrs.' Eldin Kerr. The ladies were divided into groups and planned the meetings for the year 1962.

McKercher, Mrs. Reta. Orr, Mrs. Eldin Kerr. Situation Could Change But both Mr. Miles and Mr. Westbrook thought this situa- tion could, change in the years that lie ahead. Mr. Miles said that already the Kincardine area, the north part of Ashfield and Grey Townships are heady shippers of milk to Toronto; that the use of the bulk tank handling . of milk will, in the future, make milk shipments from Huron to Toronto heavier than ever. `Mr. Westbrook said that To- ronto dairies are already com- ing up to the Goderich, area to collect milk and that this, trend will continue. Therefore, he believed, the future may see more farmers swinging from all-out poultry production to more of dairy production, al- though still doing somf poul- try production. This, he said, could lead to a lessening in Hu- ron's present volume of poultry production. Hurohas a total of 2,280- hgrses in comparison to 4,100 in Wellington County; 4,000 in Simcoe County; 3,000 in Bruce County, and 2,500 in Perth County. Value of Huron's 2,280 hors- es in 1960 was placed at $355,-. 700, which means the average price for a horse is about $112. Huron has a total of 9,800 sheep and lambs, and 112,900 swine.

A report of Huron Presbyter- ial, held in Ontario St. United Church, Clinton, on Jan. 24, was given by . Mrs. Ross Sav- auge, who stated that 400 dele- gates were present, with a•.to- tal attendance in the .church of over 500 women. Mrs. Clay- ton Searle, of Toronto, was the uest speaker and her thoughts were based on the Book of Esther, where Mordecai said to his cousin,. Queen Esther, when she hesitated 'to go before the King to help save her people from destruction, "Who know- eth whether thou art come. to the kingdom for such a time as this?" At the risk of her life she then entered the King's presence and made her request. As a result, she and all her fellow. Jews were saved. The speaker applied this incident to the members of United Church Women today to accept the challenge presented to them. - Mrs. ' George Addison moved a vote of thanks to the hostess and all who took-. part in the meeting. A delicious luhch was served by the social committee, Mrs. -P. B. Moffat and Miss Gladys Thompson.

Broadfoot. --Motion-passed that Mrs. J. Broadfoot be allotted money for purchase of envel- opes and other Supplies. • Correspondence was read by Mrs. H. Berry from Mrs. Wal- ter Moffat and family, and Mrs. Mac Wilson on the part of Mrs. Agnes Baird. Thank -you letters were also read from Mrs. Rena Gardner and Mrs. M. Whiting, of Huronview Hospital. Three very interesting re- ports were given regarding the general UWC meeting held in Clinton. Mrs. L. Ariano being absent, her report was read- by -Mrs. L. Wilson. Mrs. F. Bough - en gave her report about the changevore of children's groups from their former status to the new UCW responsibility. Mrs. Henderson's report covered the topic given by the guest speak- er. "What. is Your View of the World?"
