Xt was the 62nd annual meeting of the associa- tion, 'the men's section having been ,formed 37 years• prior to the ladies' section. Mrs. Joseph Grummett, qne. -of the main supporters of the wo- men's section of Seaforth Fall Fair, and presently the ladies' representative for this district, was named second vice-presi- . dent of the women's section. This is the first time since the women's section was• form- ed 25 years ago that-aslistrict 8 representative has been nam- ed to the executive. Mrs. H. A. Telfer; RR 2, Paris, president of the women's sec- tion, OAAS, presided for ses- sions at the association's. 25th anniversary meeting. The asso- ciation was organized in 1937 by Mrs. Ethel Brant Monture, now of Toronto.. She ,remained as president for three years and now is an honorary president. There were 14 women pres- ent at the first convention; snow there are around 40(i in attend- ance annually:'To'mark the oc- -casion, Dr. S. R. McKelvey, Becton, presented the women's section with. an inscribed' min- ute book, 'etch • was accepted on their behalf by Mrs. TeI- fer, ':-president. Mrs. Fran k. wS,'ne hinge„ „;Stayner,.... first -lice- president, presented the. .high- lights of .district reports, con_. densed and sent to her by the 16 representatives throughout "Ontario. Mrs. H. A. Dickenson, Mt. Hope; in her report on Junior Work, said the increase in the number uhf' exhibits by schools and all junior organizations was - • -quite evident at most fairs. She reported fully on Districts. 7 and 8. Mrs. A. D. Koehler, 'of Durham, in her . public relations_ report, said all fair board di- rectors and the province's 16 district representatives can be and should be public relations ambassadors. Miss Dorothy Stone, • George- town, spoke on "How To Have a Green Thumb Without An Aching Back," humorously re- lating her experiences in gar- dening. She stressed using a six-inch mulch .of_ saw dust, straw, old hay or refuse to com- bat Weeds, pests and weather problems. One evening the convention ;,was treated to the showing of 1962 prize-winning colored fall fair pictures. Winning for "C" `fairs in this area' were Drumbo and Brussels. ' Special speakers on the jun- ior portion of the convention were Miss Edna Strong, of Bol- ton, president of the Ontario, Junior Farmers, and R. G. Boyce, Stratford, inspector of public schools, North Perth, whose topic was "Limits." He asked directors not to expect• school inspectors to judge at their fair year after year—they have not the time. Prepare and send out prize lists early" and suggested that entries' from the schools be in the form of class or, xoom entries, with a set amount of space allocated, rath- er than the individual type. This will possibly give the child who could never compete on an individual basis, an opportun- ity to have something at the fair. Make certain that the teachers do the preliminary elimination work ahead of time. A fair is the place for the' very best to be displayed, not just anything. He = suggested that old classes. for writing, art and crafts, be revised. Work for the fair, he said, should be an extension of regular class- room activities. Make sure that the certificate indicating that the work is that of the child means what it says.

Much of today's unrest in the world results from a lack 04 understanding of brotherhood, Herbert A. Mowat, .authority on international affairs and well- known speaker, told a joint din ner meeting of the Lions Club and Chamber of Commerce in the Legion Hall Monday eve- ning. The two organizations combined to sponsor a dinner, in connection with Brotherhood Week. Referringto the unrest in Africa and other countries, the speaker said while we assist in material things, we have failed in the full sense of brotherhood in that we have yet to adopt backward races into the human family in the social sense. Each time we -refuse recognition of any race or religion, we add to the success of the Communist propaganda campaign. "We of the western world need these people. We can't afford this discrimination. They are . human beings in the sight of God and are of the human family," he declared. "We of the white race must revise, our attitude towards peoples of oth- er races. We must .abandon a patronizing attitude and regard them as' people." Much progress has been made through the Colombo plan . and various United Nations agencies to reduce prejudice.. In many cases it has . been possible to work out co-operative programs' when, dollars from the west "combine with unskilled- labor to produce; facilities. -:that raise the;:- stindards of. ;. ,backward: countries.- • • • That there is a ,,growing awareness to the needs. of other less fortun-Ate countries is seen IV the increasing assistance Canada is rendering. In 1938, contributions totalled $1,400,000 and now are $91,000,000. We must continue to `provide aid to the end that standards are raised. Only in this way will it be possible for we, as Cana- dians, to continue to enjoy the Canadian way of life, the speak- er said, as' he urged every ef- fort to the end that we can be assured of a world united and at peace. Mr. Mowat was introduced by A. Y. McLean and apprecia- tion was expressed by Rev. H. Donaldson. The meeting was arranged by a committee headed by W. C. Moore and Frank Case. .John Longstaff, Lions Club president; was chairman. Greetings were extended by the chairman and by C of C president, K. B.

We should be able to create a better impression in the eyes of potential indus- try and be better organized to assist industry. Reviewing activities of the ,organization during the year, he told of street signs that had been erected, the clean-up cam- paign, -assistance in developing a composite • school, award , of minor ball -trophies, assistance in commercial displays at the fall fair, and.. a number of merchant promotions.

Seed Judges ill Compete A team of Huron youths will cpmpete, in the intercounty seed judging competition at the Middlesex Seed. -Fair in London Thursday. On the team are Larry Beperman, Seaforth; Mac Stewart, McKillop, and Murray Scott, Belgrave. They will be accompanied by Assistant Agri- cultural Rep"resentative D o n Grieve. The North—Road from Sea - forth to Wroxeter has been designated a Province of On" tario Development Road, Hon. C. $. - Mecplaughton, Huron. MPP, announced in Seaforth Wednesday morning. The developni,ent road will extend a distance of 21% miles from No. 8 Highway at Seaforth to No. 86 Highway 'at Wroxe- ter, anil includes existing H1ir- on Highway No. 12. Mr. MacNaughton, who was accompanied by Hon. G. C. Wardrope, Minister of Mines, told The Expositor the road would be' constructed to pro- vincial highway standards. He said current traffic counts had revealed usuage necessitated such standards. He said it would be reasonable to antici- pate that,if traffic increased suf- ficiently ufficiently the road would be be- come a provincial highway. Under the development road program the province reimburs- es the county for construction of certain secondary roads. The county, however, continues to be responsible for maintenance and is required to underwrite the cost of any additional land required for widening. For some years Huron has pressed the Province to assume the road. Last approach was made some weeks ago, when Mr. MacNaughton accompanied. the Huron Road' Commission, as it approached the 'Minister roa ed of Highways. _. The North Road is- one of -the earliest to be built in the Hur- on Tract, and was the route travelled by pioneer, settlers who moved into the virgin. townships of McKillop, +Morris and.. Grey more than 100 years ago. Regarded for many years as part of a direct route from Lon- don and the border to Central Northern Ontario and the Mus- koka area, the North,.. Road car- ries an increasing amount of tourist traffic each year. This flow .should increase materially as the standard of the road is improved. The announcement was good pews for Huron County. Huron highways engineer James W. Britnell was absent , from the county, but Clerk John Berry saidf,-,`.;It will mean dollars to Huron." Mr. Berry said 'the fact that the province was assuming epi struction " costs ' for the road, would area,) that money ,already, allotted for rebuilding and pay. ing by Huron would .now come available : for additional . . road work in other' er p axe e county.Whileno eslams Wits forthoming as to the coat the construction, the develop ment road between Blyth.40 . Dunlop, 'Which was completed last autumn, was estimated to cost in excess .of •'$700,000•. The new project involves shout 50 per 'cent more mileage than was the case in the earlier con- struction. Huron's five-year plan pro- vided for rebuilding the toad between Seaforth and Brussels and during the . past year the portion between Brussels and Walton was regraded. Con- struction of a new Grieve's bridge over the Maitland also was completed last year. This year the, program -includes pav- ing between Brussels and Wal- ton and rebuilding between Sea - forth and Winthrop, including about half a . mile within the Seaforth limits.

Beef Producers Consider Problems in Marketing The annual meeting of the Huron County Beef Producers was held in the agricultural rooms, Clinton, Friday, Presid- ing chairman was Robert J. Mc- Gregor, who is also . a director on the provincial beef produc- ers' board. C. Hemingway was secretary. The chairman welcomed the producers and informed them that the provincial board was testing out a ' plan to help the county association financially, by 'a voluntary note, attached to bills of lading asking the producers' opinions on retain- ing two cents' of the 10 cent a head now levied.. This money could be used for county proj- ects as the directors saw fit. Seaforth....Native Is Promoted in RCAF Air Defence Command Head- quarters at St. Hubert, P.Q., has announced the promotion of Flying Officer Frank Gold- ing, 38, of Seaforth and Lon- don, to the rank of Flight Lieu- tenant, F/L Golding is pres• ently serving_ in the Personnel Administration branch of the Headquarters. A spn of the- late Senator W. H. Golding and Mrs. Golding, he was born. hi' Seaforth, where he was educated at public and high school. Upon matriculation in 1941 lie enlisted in the RCAF and was trained as an admini- strative clerk. He has served in] the RCAF continually since that time. Ris- ing through the ranks to Flight Sergeant, he was conimissioned as an officer in 1955. Since then he has served as an administra- tive officer at Lachine, -P.Q., andChbtham, N.B. His wife is the former Jane Moffat,T a daughter 'of Mrs. Peter Moffat and the late -Mr. Moffat, of Seaforth. Mrs. Ross Montgomery, Seaforth ,,is a ais He spoke of the feeder cattle,. now being brought into the county from outside., and open- ed a possibility of raising more of these in the county itself. Stating that ranges in Western Canada' were becoming scarcer, he 'pointed out that there was much land in Northern Ontario which could be used for 'cow - calf raising. Mr. McGregor said that there were rumors within the prov- ince of possible teletype sale of beef, similar to that of hogs. He was critical of the "feed, lots" of large commercial com- panies. Mr. McGregor appealed for the support of FAME and co-operation among the pro- ducers. Douglas Miles, agricultural representative for Huron Coun- ty, reminded the producers that it was for the individual producer to choose the method he wished to follow, whether it' be cow -calf or sj,eer feeding proper. He was dubious about the reported cessation of On- tario bull auction sales. They should be continued at least on county levels; he felt. G. G. Bennett Speaks Mr. Miles introduced Gordon G. ,Bennett, chief of the market- ing division of the Department of Agriculture of Ontario. Mr. Bennett, well known in Huron County, since he was ag- ricultural representative of the county before his promotion, said that in the past few years the beef producers had empha- sized production of better beef and had succeeded to a great degree, but the marketing of it had only more recently been seriously considered, by the in- dustry. Production in Ontario had increased but in 1962 a 20 per cent inerease was looked for. In marketing beef, consid- eration rhu'stbii gily'eli; lis said; to every_ link in the marketing chain. The beef industry, he noted) brae 6hjoynt stattiS. At :Pfresiento and therefore. it- is a good•time for producers to retain it. Prospects for beef cattle rais- ing in Northern Ontario, Mr. - Bennett declared, were good, since much available land could be used for tile purpose. He said that at New Liskeard gov- ernment farm, calves are being„. shipped to OAC, Guelph, for further test feeding. He reminded the producers that they were growing a pre- ferred product, and advised them to maintain it as such. Question Period Robert McKercher led the question period by stating that/t- he hawhe had been invited to Toron- to discuss the market broad- cast, and asked for ideas on the subject. Robin Thompson, of Goderich ToWnship, wanted the direc- tors to inform the producers of the projects on which any money voted to them for Ise in the organization would be spent. Jim Coultes, of Belgrave, wished that all beef cattle were weighed before and not after they were sold. ,He stated that often cattle werdetained, and were brought into the . sales ring as "many as three times. He was radically opposed to the suggestion made in the provincial board of using cross bred bulls as sires for beef cattle. Douglas Miles conducted the election of. the directors for 1962. The directors elected were; Robert McGregor, Rob. ert Campbell, John Armstrong,' Elmer Robertson and Stanley Jackson.
