Bob McQregor, of Kippen, reported that the On- tario , Board . was making pro- gress in having-_bilis' of lading used on all shipments of cattle. This has been required by law for. many years, but has never been enforced. However, in re- cent weeks the provincial po- lice have been stopping many trucks and issuing warnings. By March 20, • the Beef Prro- •ducers will have all truckers supplied with bills of lading, and it will then be up • to the farmersto see to it that these forms are used. These state- ments will be a real benefit to both farmer and shipper in case of accident. In the answers to the ques- tioriaires that were sent out to some 50 beef producers in each county, the Beef Producers are finding that 82 per cent of the producers approve the bills of lading, and the 10c deductioli to provide finances for the or- ganization and for advertising the product. On February 1 the Leader- ship Forum Committee met to discuss the advisability .of re- arranging the Leadership For- um that had been planned pre- viously.. It •Was agreed that the secre- tary send out notices that the course will be arranged for the 26th, 27th and 28th of Febru- ary; and will be held hi, the Agricultural Board rooms, Clin- ton, from 10 a.m, "to 4 p.m. each day. This will allow those at- tending to get the chores done and the children off to school each morning and to be home for chores at bight. It will make a buy three days, but from the reports of those at- tending last year's course, it is well worth the effort. There must be 15 enrolled by February 19 to make the course possible. However," additional applications will be acceptable up to the beginning of the course.. If you are interested, contact your Township Federa- tion 'President, or the County Federation Office, Box 310, Clinton. Turnberry Township held their annual federation meeting Feb. 2 and provided those at- tending with most interesting findings on the developments in Warble Fly • control.' Dr. Neely Extension Services Veter-" inary, .was guest speaker. He. told of the newer methods and materials that are providing better control, are more con- venient to use, and are effec- tive in the control' of lice and other animal parasites. These new methods are be- ing thoroughly tested and many are now available. This does not • mean that the spraying of cattle for warbles inthe spring was' not a success. ' It has been wonderfully successful, b u t there have been many new dis- coveries and we need to give them full consideration. They may be another big step for- ward in care of livestock. 9u Eebrttary 29 the Amply directors and township repres- entatiyes,4_f the Beef Produc- ers' Association met to diseuss plans for their annual meeting which will beheld shortly.

' (7'\ Concentration Need Of Curlers By KEN WATSON The late Bob Dunbar, one of the "greats" in Manitoba curl- ing annals, will always be re- membered as a tremendously accurate hitter. Stories of Paul Bunyan proportions are still told of his uncanny' feats with his bbloved pair of Ailsa gran- ites that he carried with him wherever he played. Dunbar, also renowned as a bicycle racer in the early 1900's believed in the old adage that "practice makes perfett." It has been related by Bob, Jr., and others who knew him well that his favorite and fre- quent practice ,-in the morning at the old • Thistle Rink was sniping at rocks in the rings. They say he would place eight stones side by side across the tree -line 'at the far end of the ice, then play by the hour firing his rocks until his stones stood eight abreast replacing those he had removed. ' Practice Pays Dunbar's practice paid off in bonspiel play for his name was inscribed on every major tro- phy in the Winnipeg 'spiel. These many hours on the ice taught • him the fundamental principles that can make effec- tive hitting a delight to any curler: 1 — Concentration; 2 — Ice reading; 3 — Follow-through ; 4 — Lining up the stone before the shot; 5 — Swinging at the broom. He knew, too, , . something many c ere forget when they try for the ike zone'—that he must make allo nee for the curl of the stone en route to its target. He was also keenly aware that the slower the stone the greater the arc of its curve. Few of us can hope to scale the hitting heights as the im- mortale Bob did, but our effici- ency at striking can be improv- ed immeasurably if we remem- ber a few simple truths. The target we are shooting at is really 30 inches wide, not 11 inches, the width of a rock. Let me explain. With normal hack weights, if you hit one and a half inches of the stone you aim at it will be re- moved from the rings. This applies to both sides of that, tock. In reality, then, if your stone strikes within a width of 30 inches . you will make your shot. - Watch Aim But remember this! Because of .the curl or pull with either an in -turn or' out -turn effort you must concentrate on aiming at a point outside that 30 -inch area. Try, to visualize a two - by -six plank, two feet, six inch- es long, placed in front and SEAFORTH MONUMENT WORKS OPEN DAILY T. Pryde & Son ALL TYPES OF CEMETERY MEMORIALS Inquiries are invited.

Mrs. Sterling Graham was in charge of progressive euchre..Mr. Don- ald Johns won the prize for the' most points and Mrs. Elmer Dow for the ladies; Mr. Stanley Dow and Miss Maxine Dow for the low prize. A "Danish Influ- ence" chair was presented to Mr. Dow. Mrs. Catherine Hock- ing read the following address: Dear John: The usual reasons for this gathering being rather long in making its appearance, we are having it anyway. We just want to let you know, John, how much ,you mean, not only in our church and neighbor- hood, but to each one of . "A happy birthday to -you!" May we long be spared to enjoy each other's friendship; may this gift keep us in remembrance. Friendly thoughts and friendly customs help to make life worth while, and many days have been made brighter by your friendly word or smile. So the thoughts that prompt this happy birthday, prompt these wishes too, that the joy you've given others, life in turn may give you.—Sincerely, Your Neighbors and Relatives. Lunch was served by Mrs. Harold Pridham, Mrs. Fred Johns, Mrs. Catherine Hocking and Mrs. Sterling Graham. Miss Maxine Dow, of London, spent the weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Erle Dow. • Mr. and Mrs. Tom Colquhoun held a turkey suer at their home on Friday evening to celebrate their son Gordon's birthday and the 20th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Dow. Mrs. Dow is the former Doro- thy Dow, daughter of Mrs. Clif- ford Dow and the late Clifford Dow, and her husband is the son of the late Mr. and {Vire. William John Dow. They were married at the -home of the bride's parents on January 24, 1942, by the late Rev. William Mair. Mr. and Mrs. Dow have a family of six children: Floyd, Marlene, Joyce, Bruce, Brenda and. Jean.

Meeting Decides To Continue Clinton 'Show Despite stormy opposition from some executives of the Huron Central Agricultural So- ciety, it was agreed Saturday' to again hold the Clinton Spring Fair. Date will be set at the so- ciety's next meeting. J. W. Counter, of Clinton, a dire : or, said: "I don't see who is h.:� tting from the fair: Non-farm- are not. I am not a farmer a I see the same animals on' display time after time at surrounding fairs. I• think its expensive advertising for Clinton. They come here for spring training for fall fairs and get . good mond. for it." "I don't believe there's any way we can carry on," said A. J.

Mr, --Mc- Murray told directors he wished to resign but the board refused to accept his . resignation be- cause it was not in writing. He agreed to carry on for the 1962 season.

FURROVW ►ND FALLOW (By FAIRBAIN) Premier Marts announced la§t week concerning the for- mation of a- 17 -man Economic Counca tui Ontario was_ not ex- actly tied bot news --Agriculture Minister Stewart bad 'nation - ed htion- ed it in a television interview the • previous week. However, the Premier did spell out thee' terms of reference for the coun- cil and announce its chairman, 54 -year-old- Toronto industrial- ist, S. J. Randall. The Econo- is ,Council generally will look into the whole basic structure of Ontario's economy and re- commend •. ways and means of improving it. This includes a close look at the efficiency of individual industries, investiga- tion of new -technical processes and a search for new markets (and new products, perhaps, for them).. The mertopolitan press paid very little attention 'to agricul- ture in their reports of this an- notincement—in fact one Tor- onto paper neglected to men- tion it at all despite the fact that agriculture has equal re- presentation with labor and`in- dustry on the council. Each will have three members. Farm representatives will come from the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture (2) and the Farmers' Union (1). Industry members will come from the Ontario sec- tion of the Manufacturers' • As- sociation, the Chamber of Com- merce and the Board of Trade —one each, while labor repres- entatives will come from indus "trial, craft and construction un- ions. We are encouraged by the representation of agriculture on this council which could have, a tremendous influence on the development of Ontario in the next few years. At least the government recognized farming is still a basic part of our econ- omy even if the urban press and many urban people have relegated us to the ,shadows. Of course, part of that is our own fault—we don't make en- ough noise about the impor- tance of agriculture. Forty per cent of the capital invested in Canada is invested in farming and the agricultural business. "We . are important enough to sound off occasionally. Before we in Ontario toot our horn too loudly, though, take heed of some words spoken by Keith Leckie,-, general manager of the Meat. Packers Council holding its annual meeting in Montreal this week. The heart of the beef industry in Canada has ---shifted to the west in the last 10 years, according to Mr. Leckie, with over three-quar- ters of the beef cows and hei- fers now found in the western provinces. Of course the num- bers of beef cattle in Canada have nearly doubled since 19$1 so Ontario has expendade its beef industry, too, but not on the same scale as the west. Al- berta has always been an im- portant range area but it has now become a feeding andepro- cessing province too. Since processing plants have a tendency to follow 'produc- tion — more especially these days as transportation costs in- crease -this significant shifting of production deserves consid- erable attention • from Ontario beef producers (and others). Al- so anyone contdmplating pro- ce'ssing operations might be well advised to think twice. * * * Today's ,Tidbit: An English Ayrshire herd has established the world's production record - 44 cows averaged 17,079 pounds Of milk at 4.12% last year. blue coal' Champion Stove &"Furnace Oil WILLIS DUNDAS DUNDAS and LONEY Phone 573 or 138 AN EXTRA $10,000 FOR YOU Let's say you put one dollar a day into an Investors plan.
