The meeting called by Tuck- ersraith Township was held in 'Huron Centennial School, Bruce- field, Tuesday night, and was attended by the, members of council of each municipality and the clerks of Hensel]. and Tuck- ersmith. In the past the two townships have been paying a retainer fee (the rate has been $5,00--fer each municipality each year for the past two years) for fire protect- ion in the area around Hensel], Tuckersmth's agreement ends the last part of September. • At, the meeting Tuesday night' Councillor, Hai:cold Knight of Hartsell explained Hensall's need for a new -fire engine as it is felt the present equipment-if not capable of fighing fires in the county. He reported tour •prices be had on new fire engin- es: $24,801.00; $24,295.00; 2,- 00000. These varied pricee due to the amount of equipment supplied and would each have to be checked out to meet Hen- all's specifications. Hensall has agreed to accept $7,000.00 from Tackersmith and from Hay toward purchase of the new equipment and has guaranteed not to pay less than $22,000.00 for it. Deputy Reeve, Lloyd Hen- drick of flay indicated in his opinion, the greatest concern to a farmer is the lack of water on the farms. He said that dur- ing the last two fires on his line — a house and garage each burned while two fire trucks stood by useless for lack of water. Councillor, Lionel Wilder of Hay said it would be better for Hay to own its own fire truck and have it located in the cent- 'ere of the township.

Fail To Resolve Hibbert Creamery Fire Agreement Statemate BUYS Out Forest Plans were revealed this week by the Hibbert Co-op Dairy Ass- ociation Ltd., Staffa for the take- over of the Forest Dairy Co-op, Forest, Ont, effective September 15th. The Forest Dairy Co-op, which is a part of the Forest Farmers Co-operative, solicited bids on their creamery operation., early this summer. The Hilbert Co-op was informed that their bid was accepted on August 22. Lloyd Cameron, manager at Staffe, said the purchase in- cluded their trucks, as well as the creamery routes and equip- ment, but not the building. Hibbert Co-op trucks will pick up cream on the Forest routes and return it to Staffa for pro- duction of butter. . Present quarters at Staffa, Mr. Cameron said, are more than adequate to handle the increase in volume. This year, production at the Hibbert township creamery will reach the million pound mark and the volume should increase nearly 80% with the addition of the Forest routes. While plans do not call for ex- pansion of the present quarters, Mr, Cameron said, some addit- ional staff will be required and shift work may be necessary during the summer months. The Forest creamery, long es- tablished in the better business, was founded in '1920. the butter brand which it markets is well known. The Staffa plant will probably continue to market both Forest Brand and Staffa Brand butter III one-pound prints. With the increase in volume the Bibbed Co-op Dairy Assoc- iation become the larg- est cream-gathering creaxnery in the province as well as the Only creamery in operation north of Staffa to Windsor. - The creamery, which will have eight trucks on the read beginning in September, will serve the counties of Huron, Perth, Lambton, Middlesex and Kent. Presently Hibbert Co-op trucks travel as far south as Elginfield, but with the addition, of the Forest -plant routes will extend„ as far south as Wailaceburg and Dresden after September 15th.
