HEARING IS TOLD "The number of teachers go- iqg out into the rural areas and marrying is not as great as it was, and our rural teachers in many cases are not interested in returning to teach," Public School Inspector J. H. Kinkead said when testifying in the Howick Township case before • Judge Fingland, in Goderich• Howick Township is in Mr. Kinkead's territory, and he was called .as an expert witness in regard to school costs dnd facilities, school bus set-up, teacher, supply, etc. "In these areas," he said, "if it had not been for our mar- ried women coming back to help us, I do not know how we could have carried. on, I mean the girls who graduated. from Teachers' College 20 or 30 years ago, spent some time in rural schools, and then gradu- ated either to some city school or made a home. "Sixty-seven of 110 teachers in my inspectiorate in the 1961- 62 term were married women. This source of supply is not going to continue, because we are having difficulty in getting young teachers to come into our rural schools." The inspector cited Walton school, with a staff of three married women; North Ashfield, one man and three married women, and Turnberry, a man and two married women. "We can get teachers," he GENERAL INSURANCE Donald. G. Eaton Office in the Jackson Aluminum Building Phone 75 : Seaforth added, "but I like to get good teachers. We post a notice at London Teachers' College and get all the applicants we need." Questioned regarding school auditoriums, Mr. Kinkead said: "I am firmly of the opinion there should be a physical health education program in every school, and therefore I would like to have an auditor- ium, but in the next place I would like to have more stress on public speaking and drama. I think in many schools the visual education program—use of pictures, films, etc.—is tre- mendous. This can be taught, and I think it should be taught in a room equipped to look after it, "The great job we have to do is try our .best to get the best teaching in our schools and the best supervision. The thing that is wrong in the rural schools is that we have an ex- cellent teacher, and the next year another, and so on, and the program is broken. It is exceptional for a child with mediocre teaching for two years to gb on to secondary school and university," 4-H Homemaking Club The Seaforth Merry Maidens met at the home of Anne Beanne last Saturday evening with 14 members present. The , meeting was opened by, singing "0 Canada," followed by the !Pledge. Linda Nott read the minutes of the last meeting.

Fall Fair Groups Review Succesfui 1962 Season The men and women who plan the spring and fall fairs in Perth and Huron Counties had exceptionally fine fall weather for their annual meet- ing in Stratford on Wednesday, but most of them would have been happier if such weather had been theirs for the fair days Instead. Poor weather caused more gate receipts to slump and more exhibitors to turn away during 1962 than in the past number of years, members of the Perth -Huron section of the Ontario Association of Agricul- tural Societies learned at their annual meeting, held in the Agricultural Coliseum. During the morning session of the association, as the male section of the district gathered to give reports of activities in 1962, a large percentage of the delegates reported that poor weather had had an adverse ef- fect on the operations of their fairs. Brussels and Kirkton likely experienced the worst weather of the 16 societies in the dis- trict. Blyth, Dungannon, Exe- ter and Seaforth all had some bad weather during their fairs, but managed to continue. - Ken-lReaney, speaking for the Mitchell Agricultural So- ciety, said Mitchell should find it had one of the better fairs in a number of years, when the final figures are known. Gordan Papple reported that cool weather cut Seaforth's fair at- tendance by about 300 persons. At Dungannon, receipts were down about $100. Receipts were up at the Strat- ford -Fall Fair, William Ander- son reported, but poor weather definitely had some effect on the fair. Gate admission prices were raised.

Again this year we are holding our Annual groups of men during the after- noon were brought into the open meeting for further dis- cussion. James Mair, Brussels, presi- dent of. the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies, re- ported that his group, which was discussing constitutions, found there are no societies in the Perth -Huron district that have a constitution. It was the feeling of his g{oup that socie- ties should have• one, but that a society must be careful its constitution is not contrary to sections of the Agricultural Societies Act. W. J.' Smith, Milverton, re- -porting for the group discuss- ing fair grounds, said his group found that societies should own their own grounds, and build- ings should be opefr to each or- ganization. Member's suggested a ball park, racetrack, and dancing facilities to keep the society in operation all year, and as one means of cutting vandalism. F. A. Lashley, Toronto, di- rector of horticultural and agricultural societies for On- tario, said he thought it better for municipalities to own the property. Field Crop Contests The value of field crop com- petitions in local fairs came under considerable discussion and some criticism during 'the various committee reports. One discussion group secre- tary, reporting on the findings of the group studying classes and prize lists, said he was wondering, as a result of the discussion period, if the field crop competition "might be a racket on the part of seeds - men." He thought maybe the field crop class is not as valuable to fairs today as it was at one time. Later, in a question -and -an- swer period, the secretary of the Stratford Fall Fair, Wil- liam Anderson, took issue' with' the speaker. "The field crop competition is still the best means of getting good seed spread around the area," .he said. "Why does the committee feel the field• crop competitions do not do a good job?" ' The chairman of the commit- tee, Garnet Hicks, said there is too much variation in meth- ods of judging, and organiza- tion of the competition between different fairs.

We use its deli- cate yet slightly pungent taste as the crowning touch in' an unusual main dish recipe, Sal- mon and Dill Filled Noodle Scuffle Ring, ideal for a refresh- ingly new family supper item. The characteristic dill flavor ap- pears in the form of finely chop- ped dill pickles .used to compli- ment the rich flavor of canned salmon featured in the sour cream "sauce -filling". Dry mus- tard and pimento are added seasoning touches. The novel noodle mold is oven -poached and similar to a souffle in its light, airy quality.
