The noon meal was served by the Catholic Women's League of St. Michael's Church, Blyth. The after-dinner speaker was Dr. William Mitchell, of the On- tario Agricultural College, Guelph, who chose as his theme, "Changes we are seeing in our present world, and what we could do about it." Mr. Mit- chell told of his farmer father, who insisted on plowing his land with a team of horses and a walking plow; he considered a tractor would crush the ground. "Changes within the past 25 years are almost beyond belief. There were no motels, no super- highways like the modern ones Huron Expositor Christmas Coloring Contest See instructions on Page 13 Age NAME ADDRESS HERE'S A CAR -FULL 0 )!W 63 COME IN AND LOOK OVER OUR 1963 MODEL'CARS We also have one new 1962 on our floor at a greatly reduced price! 1963 RAMBLER AMBASSADOR 880 • 1963 RAMBLER CLASSIC 4 -DOOR 1963 RAMBLER AMERICAN DELUXE 220, 4 -DOOR 1963 AUSTIN CAMBRIDGE A-60, Auto- matic' 1962 RAMBLER AMERICAN DELUXE 1957 PONTIAC AUTOMATIC MILLER MOTORS PHONE 149 — SEAFORTH TOWNSHIP OF HULLETT We thank the Ratepayers of Hullett Township for an ,acclamation in our respective offices for the year_ 1963.

Air travel was far from the present 1800 miles an hour, made possible by fast jets." The communication sys- tem was minus television. What has research uncovered?" he exclaimed, "Now two major powers have virtually paralyzed each other. "The struggle today," Dr. Mit- chell said, "is in the mind of man. People are no longer il- literate as they were, We can not afford to ignore what is going on in Cuba, India, Russia and Germany." Turning to the agricultural scene, he, stated. "Eleven per cent of people today are engag- ed in agriculture in this coun- try, but are keeping abreast of the changes. Classrooms teach us how to learn, but are we selling agriculture short in an educational way?" Farmers to- day must develop themselves in order to do a better job—for change is the only constant thing we have." "Does education in terms of agriculture pay? We have to decide we do not know it all. People will never know it all, because of constant changes. People make decisions. What can we do about it? We can develop humility, and learn to consider other people's opin- ions. The more certain you are, the less you can learn," stated the speaker.

The new lower charge will be- come effective Dec. 3, 1962. The current fee of 50 cents, which has been in effect since May 11 of this year, was in- troduced to -offset an operating deficit incurred by the Hog Marketing Board during the previous year's operations. Mr. Aiken gave the follow- ing reasons to account for the Board's ability to reduce its service charge: First, there had been larger marketings of hogs than had been antieipated. In recent weer marketings had been' in excess of 50,000 hogs per week. Secondly, the participation of First Co-operative Packers of Barrie in the provincial mar- keting program had increased BRUCEFIELD Unit 4 Meets The Willing Workers held• their meeting at the home of Mrs, Mel Graham, with 27 pres- ent. The meeting opened with the business and a report on the banquet. As a replacement for a bazaar this year, contri- butions were brought in, and there was a nice donation of used nylons to be forwarded. A slate of officers was present- ed for next year. The worship was .under the leadership of Mrs. L. Thompson and Mrs. J. Aikenhead, and Mrs. J. Beane was in charge of the study, "Declining Standards and Getting By Today." A buzz ses- sion and discussion followed. Mrs. J. Aikenhead was in charge " of the entertainment, and Mrs. Leppington and her assistants served refreshments. Marketing Board revenue. Thirdly, the appeal to the Department of National Rev- enue in respect of the tax as- sessment on the surplus earned by the Ontario Hog Producers' Co-operative during the 1959-60 fiscal period had been success- ful. Finally, the Board had in- creased the efficiency of its marketing operations, Mr. Aiken emphasized that the service charge reduction must be regarded as an interim adjustment. "The question of service charges is a matter of prime concern to hog produc- ers," he said, "and will be giv- en further examination at an- nual meetings of county hog associations throughout Ontario during the coming winter months. In addition, it will be given close scrutiny at the time of the annual convention of the Ontario Hog Producers' Association in March, 1963."
