On the recommen- dation of the Federation Insurance Committee, Bob McMillan, of Hul- lett Township, was added to the committe. Bill Duncan, of Goderich, Co- operator's Insurance supervisor, reported that there are now some- thing over 4,300 policies in force in the county. A little over 1,000 new policies were approved dur- ing the past year. The success of this Co-operative certainly proves that farmers are capable providing adequate protection at a reasonable cost in the insur- ance field by working together. There is no reason to believe that ST. THOMAS' LADIES' GUILD The March meeting of the Ladies' Guild of St. Thomas' An- glican Church was opened with prayer by the vice-president, Mrs: L. F.

For some years now the de- mands being made on the Fed- eration have been increasing to the point where finances will net permit further services. The meet- ing felt that the participation in the TV and radio programs pro- vide a valuable service. Certainly many farmers have benefitted through improved compensation from hydro, pipeline' and highway easements as a result of the ef- forts of your organization. Many, too, have found the credit avail- able through your township coun- cil for tile drainage quite helpful. Currently the Federation is mak- ing a study of taxation in order that a more equitable method may be achieved for rural property owners. In order that these projects may be carried on along with many more it was recommended that either the township units increase their payment to the county so that it would equal one-half mill, or approach their township councils with a request that the levy be increased to the one-half mill. This would increase the federa- tion levy by 50 cents on a $5,000 assessment. The meeting was turned over briefly to Bob McGregor, zone di- rector of the Ontario Beef Pro- ducers' Association, for the pur- pose of electing seven additional voting delegates' for the, township beef producers directors to attend the zone meeting. Mrs. Warren Zurbrigg reported on the Ontario Rural Leadership Forum which she attended at Niagara Falls. She pointed out that for the past five years there has been an average attendance of 60. This means that there are some 300 trained rural leaders now agtive in Ontario. As the years go by these people and those to follow will make a real contribu- tion to their communities. Bob McKinley, of Zurich, and James Dunbar, of Wroxeter, were chosen as voting delegates to the Ontario Poultry Producers annual, with Bob Broadfoot and George Underwood a as alternates. The meeting appointed the Resolutions Committee to bring recommenda- tions for revision procedure in con- ducting future commodity group elections of county committee- men.

Our big news, of course, is the presentation of hockey trophies this Saturday night to the outstanding youngsters in the community. Now those lads have been play- ing hockey to no crowds at all, so it will give them quite a lift if there is a good crowd on Saturday night, so I hope to see you there. There is a social and dance for our members and guests on Thurs- day night, and for those who can't go to the hockey, there will be the weekly bingo at the Legion audi- torium, so all told it's going to be a fairly busy week. For those who might, through misfortune, require a hospital bed, wheel chair or crutches, just con- tact the Legion through Jake Cornish, and you will be looked after. It is part of the commun- ity service 'sponsored by the Le- gion, so with that I'll sign off for now with a thought for our fallen comrades:: "At the going down of the sun and in the morning we shall remember them." See you at the Arena Saturday night. WEDDINGS BAYNHAM—NIXON Baskets of white snapdragons, bouquets of white mums and kclly green candles formed the setting of a pretty wedding at First Pres- byterian Church, Seaforth, on Sat- urday, March 18, at 2:30 p.m., when Valerie Georgene Dale Nixon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Nixon, RR 4, Seaforth, exchanged wedding vows with James Samuel Peter Baynham, Hensall, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Baynham, Hensall, before the Rev. D. Leslie Elder. The bride chose "The Wed- ding Prayer" and "0 Perfect Love" for her wedding music, sung by Miss Ann Koehler, of Dashwood, with Mr. Bert Kemp- ster at the organ. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a waltz -length gown of white silk faille, the bodice be- ing of alencon lace with sequinned standup collar and bracelet -length sleeves. The aisle -wide skirt fea- tured a bustle back. A crown of sequins and crystal drops held her silk illusion veil in place, and she carried acrescent-shaped bouquet of pink roses, carnations, stephan- otis and ivy. Miss Alice Ann Nixon,. Seaforth, sister of the bride, was maid of honor, wearing a sheath dress of kelly green peau de sole with three- quarter length sleeves and over - 'Skirt and matching picture hat and shoes, She carried a basket of white mums and snapdragons. Misses Carol Gibbons, Exeter; Colleen Baynham, Hensall, sister of the groom, and Lynn Nixon, Seaforth, sister of the bride, were bridesmaids, wearing dresses iden- tical to the maid of honor. Mr. Robert Baynham, Hensel], was hest man, Mr. Ken Moir, Mr. Glen Nixon and Mr. Jim Nixon were ushers. A ,wedding dinner followed in the church hall. For a honeymoon to Niagara Falls, New York and points east, the bride donned a purple walker suit and shoes, an orchid blouse, white gloves and purse, and a white orchid corsage. On their return the couple will re- side in Exeter. Guests were present from To- ronto, Windsor, Acton, Cooksville, London, Kitchener, Exeter, Hen- sall, Seaforth and surrounding dis- trict. Most important of the basic rules for buying meat is to select cuts suitable to the intended cooking method, according to Ontario De- partment of Agriculture special- ists. and I still remember it across the years. The liberty boat from, the U.S.S. "Irquois" came over to our anchored sweeper to pick me up to go for a trip around the harbor proper, We chugged around and hove to at the boom defense guard gate to watch an incoming troop- ship come through the gate. The gobs decided to follow well astern and watch it dock at the pier, We tied 'up at a little jetty and walked towards the pior, when on the ship's bow we read the name . "Carmania". Theforepeak wag a mass of khaki; they all look- ed alike, but lo and behold! one of them yells, "Hello, Bob! Come on up!" Who was it? None other than Emmett Kelly. I was in No. 1 blues and got within fifty feet of the gangway, but after watching for 10 minutes the speed these men went into the coaches, one's eyes could no longer pick out just one man. They were all khaki and faces; all appeared alike. Anway I missed Emmett. While ashore I ran into Audie McCormick and Pete McNaughton (Hensall), later on, Jim Smiley, My acquaintance with with the crew of U,S.S. "Iroquois" (a huge naval tug, quite capable, with ease of towing either of the Queen ships) was through First Class Machinist's Mate Jim Reid, my cousin, at that time from Mace Island, California naval base, and a U.S. naval regular. The press are reporting anti - Americanism by Canadians; it might he well to say here that in 1918 aboard the Iroquois, this writ- er was treated with all respect, ate and slept aboard, went ashore with members of the crew, had the executive officer's permission to come aboard, never was called their favorite name for the Eng- lish—"a Limey". When their ship shoved off, a brand new suit of - whites, two caps and brand new shoes- were given to the writer. The U.S.S. 'Iroquois" convoyed a captured German sub to Chicago later on.
