PARADE
Saturday
December 1st
swig OR two
A farmer and a professor
were travelling together whet
the professor suggested asking
riddles to pass the time, "Every
time ,you miss a'riddle you give
me a dollar, and every time I
miss, I'll give you a' dollar."
"You're better educated than
I am," replied the farmer. "I'll
give you 50 cents." The profes-
sor agreed and told the farmer
to make up the first riddle.
"What has three legs walk-
ing and two Iegs• flying?" The
professor gave up and handed
over the dollar. The farmer
didn't know either and handed
back 50 cents.

"This weekend," I was told.
Subsequently, I found out that
the junior volleyball team had
gone to Forest and defeated
Glencoe to win the Junior 'B'
pennant. As you probably know,
WOSSA pennants are rather
hard to come by. Everybody in
SDHS, in fact, everybody in
Seaforth, should be, proud of
the team and coach. Miss Slav -
in, who coached the team, com-
mented that the girls were play-

that they were playing togeth-

Expect Ye�r-End
Highways Surplus
For - a first time . in many
years,. Huron County's iighway
account will show a surplus,
County Engineer James Brit-
nell predicted in amplifying his
prepared report to council on
Tuesday.
`i'We have spent to date on
our bylaw $912,650," he stated...
"I am assuming a total at end
of the year of $1,060,000,. not
including development roads.
We have $35,000 surplus under
our own bylaw (only half of
that is county money), and I
would expect this will produce
a county surplus. There may be
$30,000 surplus in highway
funds, depending upon how
much snow we get, and it is
the .first year in a gopd many

SEES DAIRY SITUATION AS
WORST IN AGRICULTURE
The dairy situation "might be
considered the worst we have
in our agricultural program at
the 'moment," agricultural rep-
resentative Douglas Miles told
county council Tuesday in an
oral interpolation to his pre-
pared report.
"I would not suggest that a
dairy farmer who is set up
go out of dairying and get in-
to feed," he said, "but I also
would not encourage any beef
man at the present time to
change to dairying, unless in
certain circumstances that
would almost force him into it.
"I do not think there is any
need for alarm, but there is a
great deal of work that has
to be done by the dairy groups
in• ironing out some of these
problems. It is not anything
caused by Ontario, but is an
overall Dominion picture. On-
tario is a high producing prov-
ince. Dairying paeans as much
to Ontario as wheat to the West.
"We have had quite a switch
to dairying over 10 years, and
yet we produce only about what
we require in Ontario, as far
as dairy production is concern-
ed."
Mr. Miles announced that his
assistant, D. G. Grieve, is leav-
ing at. -the end of this month
to become assistant professor •of
dairy cattle production in the
animal husbandry department
of the Federated Colleges,
Guelph.
About the first of December
the agricultural offices will- be
moving to new leased quarters
adjacent to the IGA store in
the Lavis Block at Clinton.
"It may not be too long be-
fore we will be analyzing our
farm business operations elec-
tronically on I.B.M. machines,"
Mr. Miles predicted. He men-
tioned a test at Guelph, when
data fed into the machine came
up with the answers to numer-
ous questions in one minute
and 10 seconds.-. --
"Before another year rolls
around," Mr. Miles said, "it
could be that we can give a
farmer a report of his farm
business at the end of each
month of the year and within
a few days after the end of
the year a complete report.
They may have to pay for the
service. This program is still
in the experimental stage, but
it would appear that it will be
worked out so that it can be
an advantage to our farm peo-
ple.
Increase in Silos .
"I have never seen •, as many
silos going up as this year.
There has been a great deal of
grain corn grown in the coun-
ty and our farmers have invest-
ed a great deal of money in
grain corn harvesting equip-
ment, such as corn -picker, shell-
ers and combines. I sa one
outfit worth $30,000 and arm-
er can easily invest $10,010 to
$15,000 in equipment for har-
vesting and picking corn."
The representative mention-
ed that the winner of the Hur-
on County pasture competition
was a New Canadian, Peter de
Groot, of Blyth, who did not
have the best land, but made
a real achievement in pasture
improvement. The presenta-
tion of a clock will be made at
the annual meeting of the Hur-
on County Soil and Crop Im-
provement Association.
Larry Scales reported on the*
Huron County reforestation
scheme, which he described ,as
the only one of its kind in On -
tario.
"It makes use," he said, "of
marginal and sub -marginal land
and I would ask all of you to
keep an eye out for people in-
terested in reforestation and
get in touch with me. We have
one or two projects in every
township by now. Actually, I
think the scheme has been a
great success, and it has made
use of a lot of poor land.
"Our fire equipment at Strat-
ford is strictly for mop -up pro-
cess. We cannot get to a fire
as soon as• the local' brigade,
but we do have a pump and
other equipment which' could
be used to mop up."
At the Shephardton forest,
north of Goderich, there is an
extensive poisoning program to
eliminate poor trees. There will
be 5,000 white pine planted
there in the spring." ,
Huron Library
Finds Rising
Need for Books
Huron County Cb -operative
Library finds a rising need for
more books in the larger
schools. Miss M. L. Stirling,
librarian, reported to county
council on Monday that of five
Roman Catholic schools served,
three have opened new rooms.
Kingsbridge, which was getting j
50 is increased to 100; Mount
Carmel from 150 to 250 and St.
Boniface (Zurich) from 150 to
200.•
Three 'of the larger schools
have added rooms and are re-
ceiving additional books: North
Ashfield, 150 to 200; Holmes-
ville, 150 to 350, and No. 7,
Hay, Zurich, 250 to )300.
The number of books put out
in our public schools this fall
totalled 10,905," Miss Stirling
reported. "Libraries receive a
total of 5,775, with Wroxeter
and Walton libraries taking an
increased number of books in
September. 'High schools re-
ceive 400."
Council's library committee,
of which Reeve William Ball,
of Seaforth, is chairman, noted
that owing to the assistant lib-
rarian going to the registry of -
Re staff, Miss Ann- Sawchuk,
of Goderich, had been hired.
that we have been able to show
a surplus."
°The road committee, of which
Reeve Glenn Webb, of Stephen,
is chairman, recommended that
the 1963 committee interview
the Minister of Highways and
request full designation for 6%
miles of County Road 12, Bruen
sels to Highway 86, which is
only designated at present for
pre -engineering. A bylaw to ex-
propriate the ,land required for
widening has been prepared for
presentation at the present ses-
sion.
County Road 12, Seaforth to
Brussels, 15 miles, has been
fully designated for pre -en-
gineering and construction. Pro-
perty has been purchased and
fences erected where required.
Most utility lines have been re-
located.
Reconstruction of Road 12 in
Seaforth was approved and
scheduled for 1962, but a4sani-
tary sewer to be constructed by
the town was delayed. It is to
be completed early in 1963.
Reeve Alvin Smith, of Turn -
berry, enquired about an ex-'
,perimental stretch of paving
not mentioned in the report.
This is a mile and a quarter
north of Brussels on County
Road 12, from Morrisbank Cor-
ner to Highway 86. The meth-
od, new for the county, is use
of chips in cold mix.
"At last we are feeling in
Huron a lack of good, well -grad-
ed gravel," Mr. Britnell report-
ed. "To my knowledge there
are only about three open pits
known right now, and trucking
18 or 20 miles raises the cost
of cold mix to $18,000 or $20,-
000 a mile. In the interests of
conserving gravel we have left
it for the more important roads.
I would strongly hope that this
experiment may serve as a
good example at $4,000 a mile.
It has been done in other coun-
ties for years, and by towns
over small areas, and we are
one of the last to haye a source
of material and start using it."
The ' Huronview report was
presented by Reeve Ralph Jew-
ell, of Colborne, chairman. It
has been agreed to rent the
remainder of the farm land -
96 acres -to a tenant of part
of it, Mr. Veenstra, at $700,
payable on an annual basis
with a three-year option.
Members of the committee
have visited new homes or addi-
tions in other counties ,from
time to time but, said Mr. Jew-
ell, "the more we travel the
more impressed we become
with our own Huronview."
Huronview is one of the larg-
est homes, for aged, Superin-
tendent Harvey Johnston said
in augmenting the committee
report. Specifically, it is thir-
teenth of 56 municipally oper-
ated homes, and the latter in-
clude Toronto, London, Kitch-
ener and Hamilton. Population
of Huronview is 184.
"At one time," the superin-
tendent recalled, , "the numbers
of male And female were about
the same, but now we have 109
female and 75 males. Of those
in bed care, 58 are females, 37
males.
There have been 88 admis-
sions since January 1, and those
ct1ming to the home are con-
siderably older than a few
years ago. Only eight of the
88 were under 70; 23 were be-
tween 70 and 80; 45 between
80 and 90, and 12 over 90.
Which is the only Prov-
ince where marble is not
quarried?
Prince Edward Island. The
largest marble quarry in Can-
ada is at Phillipsburg, P.Q., near
the north end of Lake Cham-
plain. It produces a clouded
grey marble. A brown variety
is produced in Portneuf Coun-
ty of the same province. St.
Albert in Russell County, On-
tario, is the scene of quarry-
ing for black marble. Highly
colored marble is marketed as
terrazzo chips, poultry grit,
stucco dash, marble flooring
and as an aggregate in arti-
ficial stone. Ontario and Que-
bec marbles are sometimes us-
ed in mill blocks for dressing
into decorative stone. However,
Canada imports most of its orn-
amental marble from Italy and
the -United States.
HIS FIFTEENTH YEAR -The radio program, CBC Wed-
nesday, Night, celebrates 15 years of broadcasting in December,
1962. Also celebrating the occasion will be James Bannerman
(above), who has introduced the evening's fare since the pro-
gram first went on the air in 1947. Both Bannerman' and CBC
Wednesday Night plan to continue bringing' radio listeners
the best in music, drama, literature and documentaries during
the sixteenth year ahead.
