Wpmer Hardy, outgoing reeve
of Colborne Township, welcomed
the students of Colborne Central
School to the opening day of the
December session of Huron Cou-
nty Council Thursday.
He took the opportunity to
explain the workings of council
to the students and expressed the
hope that the visit would "kindle
a desire" in some students pres-
ent to participate in government
at some future date.
The reports of the five hos-
pitals in the county were heard.
Santa Claus. hid.,
Took Its Name on
Eve of Christmas
Santa Claus, Indiana is the
most famous of all towns
bearing names associated with
Christmas.
Except for a coincidence,
the name of the town may
have been any of a number of
less colorful names.
Originally, the name desired
was Santa Fe, but officials in
Washington suggested the
town be given another name,
since there was already a
Santa Fe in New Mexico.
On Christmas Eve, 1882, the
townspeople gathered to se-
lect another name, but one
name after another was re-
jected, until "Santa Claus"
strode into the meeting to get
warm. He was in costume, and
with his arrival everyone
knew what the name of the
town would be—Santa Claus,
Indiana!
Two hospital representatives ,
John Schaefer of Goderich Al-
exandra Marine and General Hos-
pital and Wm. Fisher of Wing-
ham Hospital, were on hand to
give their reports personally.
A review of the year's agri-
cultural activities in Huron
County as well as a look to the
future was given by D. S. Pullen,
agricultural representative and
two members of his staff, Leon-
ard Gr. MacGregor, extension as-
sistant and Miss Catherine Hunt,
home economist.
Pullen explained how and why
the staff at the Clinton office
was departmentalized; MacGre-
gor outlined the 4-H program for
boys and praised the Junior
Farmers in the county for the
pression of the prices paid to
excellent program of their organ-
ization; and Miss Hunt noted that
Huron County has the largest
number of 4-H Homemaking Club
members in the province of Ont-
ario.
Reeve Wilmer Hardy of
Colborne questioned the market
reports heard on radio and tele-
vision daily and said the prices
quoted were giving a false im-
farmers for their pro.duce. Pul-
len told him that steps were
presently being taken to correct
this situation.

Sell CKNX
To London
•
Station
In a joint statement made last
week, w.T.,,Doc" Cruickshank
of Wingham and Walter J.
Blackburn of London, announced
• the sale of CKNX Radio and
CKNX-TV in Wingham to the
owners of CFPL Radio
and C FPL -TV.
Mr. Cruickshank, one of
Canada's pioneer broadcasters is
Chairman of the Board of Radio
• Station CKNX Limited, licensee
of CKNX radio and television.
Mr. Blackburn is Chairman of
the Board of CFPL Broadcasting
Limited, licensee of the CFPL
radio and television stations in
London.
In commenting on the sale,
• which is subject to the approval
of the Canadian Radio-Tele-
vision Commission, Mr. Cruick-
shank expressed his confidence
that under the new ownership, the
Wingham stations would continue
to broadcast-the quality of ser-
vice that viewers and listeners
$
have grown to, expect since CKNX
Radio was established by Mr.
Cruickshank in 1926.
Mr. Cruickshank explained
that because of the changing
circumstances of broadcasting
and the ever increasing expense,
involved in station operations,
the decision to sell was
necessary, to enable the service
to continue and expand.
He paid tribute to "Doc"
Cruickshank's enterprise.Start-
ing with a radio repair shop
in 1925, he experimented with
an amateur station which later
became widely known as CKNX,
one of Canada's first radio
stations.
Mr. Blackburn recalled that
in 1955 the people of Wingham
and the surrounding area were
provided with the newest form
• §f communication arid entertain-
Went when "Doc" took the -big
plunge into the expensive medium
of television. To many in the
industry this appeared to be a
hazardous move, as nowhere in
North America was a television
station located in a town the size
• of Wingham.
"It is a credit to the
management and staff of
CKNX", Mr. Brown said, "that
the Wingham stations are
recognized throughout Canada
for the high calibre of their
• broadcasting service and for
their close identification with
their communities."

Lloyd Hendrick, deputy-reeve
of Hay Township, said he was
interested in reports on new tech-
niques to cope with inclement
weather during haying. He asked
to be advised of these methods
and was assured by Mr. Pullen
that the only sure method was to
throw a "canopy over Huron
County".
