(Florence) ELLIOTT Secretary Huron Federa- tlon of Agriculture A Happy and Prosperous New Year to All and to All Huron Federation Members, Executive, Directors of the Townships and everyone interested in Huron County Federation Work.--Com- modify Groups and, Affiliated Groups. (Market information taken from Production and Marketing Branch, Canada Department of Agriculture): The slaughter cattle market was very uneven this week, both in price and demand. Steers and heifers varied from 50 cents higher to $1.00 lower. Cows and bulls were generally steady to $1.00 higher, Feeder cattle were from 50c higher to $1,00 down, and veal calves steady to $3:00 higher. Hog pric- es closed lower at all centres, and lambs from $1.00 higher to $1,50 lower. Slaughter Cattle — The pre - holiday cattle offerings at the 10 public stockyards were -5,100 below the previous week and 3,700 more than in the same week last year, amounting to 22,500 head. The run at eastern markets was down 2,100, and western centres showed a de• crease of 3,000 head from last week. Most markets expected good clearances by the end of the week. In general, offerings were 1pwer in quality with only Calgary showing some improve- .ment. The over-all rating for the week gives indications of grading close• to last week's 38.7 per cent choice and good. Exports of beef cattle to the U.S. last week were sharply re- duced 14,496 head, with the current week's shipments from stockyards indicating a slow- down in exports. Feeder Cattle — The feeder cattle market was very uneven. Good feeder steers at Toronto were a strong $25 - $27.50. Calf Market — Veal calves commanded higher prices ev- erywhere. Hog Market — Further price declines were made on hogs this week. Lamb Market — The sheep and lamb market was slower this week.

In league play, all you sec present are the teams. Why don't members of the organiza- tions come out and cheer their. favorite team along? The same applies to inter -town howling. An outside team bowls here and all you see are 12 players in the alley. What we would like to see are followers of each group attend the bowling and cheer their° team along. On Saturday, Mike's of Stratford will he here to play Seaforth. I'm certain the local players would be pleased to have fans present to cheer them on to better bowling, and besides you will see topnotch trundling. Let's see you this Saturday at 2 p.m, at Seaforth Lanes. A granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Watson was the -first baby born .in Moose Jaw in 1963. Moose Jaw papers carried this story of the event: "A girl born at 3:20 a.m. New Year's Day easily captur- ed the prizes in Moose Jaw's unpredictable Stork Derby of 1963. Debbra Anne Watson, daugh ter of Mr, and Mrs. Richard Watson, of 206 Oxford Street West,' arrived at the Union Hos- pital weighing six pounds 10 ounces. She is the first child of Mr. and Mrs. Watson. • The 1963 Derby "queen" de- feated two other arrivals, one at the Union and one at the Providence Hospital, by two and three hours respectively. The child's mother, Mrs. Watson, 19, was born in Dig- by, N.S., where she received her education. She also lived at RCAF Station Clinton, Ont., where her father was stationed. She came to Moose Jaw with her husband in 1961. Mrs. Watson was taken to the hospital Saturday night and spent a "rea'sonably troubleless time" there, the doctor said. She will be going home next weekend. RCAF Technician Richard Watson, 22, comes from Seaforth, Ont., and is a munitions and weapons techni- cian at RCAF Station, Moose Jaw. He enlisted in the RCAF in March, 1961, and was sta- tioned at Clinton, Ont. He married Iris, Sept. 2, 1961. When asked how he felt about his baby, Mr. Watson said, "I' tickled pink. It's not just the New Year's baby that matters, it's just the baby. It sure is great for her to be a prize winner too." "My folks said it was about time we had a girl in the fam- ily, and it's really great to have one," he said., It made no difference to me whether we had -a girl or -a boy, it's just the fact that we've got a baby," he said. Mr. Watson said he celebrat- ed New Year's in an unusually quiet way; he had not been able to eat, sleep or drink for the last few days. Back To 'Union The 1963 "Queen" took the honor away from Providence Hospital, which had looked af- ter the New Year babies for the past three years. There were no records brok- en this year as far as time or weight was concerned. The fastest arrivals occurred in 1948 and 1958, when the ar- rival time was one minute after midnight. The slowest Was in 1947, when the arrival came at 1:25 a.m. the day,after New Year's. The heaviest arrival, a boy, was in 1956, when the young- ster tilted the scales to nine pounds 91/2 ounces. The light- est was •a little "queen" in 1955, who weighed in at five pounds 121/2 ounces. Upon Debbra Ann Watson can he bestowed the honor of tying the race for male, and female arrivals. The counnot' stands at nine boys and nine girls. Debbra Ann was by no means the first baby in Canada; the Canadian champion, a boy, ar- Name Delegates (Continued from Page 1) had subscribed $70,000.00 in shares against a . quota of $100,000. Those representing the Fed- eration at meetings or in at- tendance at Federation meet- ings were told there should be greater participation. Horace ' Delbridge said there should be no hesitation about speaking ' out at a meeting and express- , ing one's views. Lorne Rogers reported • for the Milk Pro- ducers. The meeting named the presi- dent, Alex McGregor, andthe secretary, Mrs. J. Elliott, as a public relations committee. rived exactly on the stroke of midnight. He 'weighed in at seven pounds. He was born in a Calgary hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Guenther. The closest competitor at the Union came at 6:35 a.m., so the young queen crossed the fin- ish line with plenty of time to spare. The last baby of 1962 was born at 8:30 Monday night." HE EVEN 'TOOK ME 'TO OUR FAMILY QOCTOR TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG.�._ G. WHAT DID YOUR Docrot ADVISE?
