Directors of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture met
May 12, A resolution requesting
that the Department of Highways
give more serious consideration to
avoiding the destruction of valu-
able farm lands will be forwarded
to the OF.A. for study.
In response to a request from
the Government for suggestions to
increase the percentage voting in
Municipal elections it was suggest-
ed that the rate of pay for Coun-
cillors set by the Department of
Municipal Affairs should be rais-
ed, Also it was felt that, since this
was a privilege of citizenship in
a free country, the Federation
should do all in its power to en-
courage everyone to vote,
Warren Zurbrigg reported on
the OFA members meeting of
May 7. good portion of the time
was spent in discussing the new
support price on dairy products,
particularly on milk powder. With
the former floor of 15c on spray
powder in bulk the consumer is
paying 35c per lb, package. Now
that the floor has been dropped to
10c it will be interesting to see
if the retail price drops to 30c.
The announcement that W. C,
Good's book on the history of farm
organization in Ontario was most
welcome. The County Federation
is ordering 10 copies for re-sale to
anyone wishing this book. It
should fill a real need in giving
us the background of what has
happened in the past. .
Douglas Miles, agricultural rep-
resentative reported that the bruc.,
ellasia canvass has been complet-
ed with about 90 percent of the
farmers faveuring the project. Mr.
Miles expressed appreciation to the
Federation for the time and effort
given in carrying out this canvass.

only a few miles from each, a re-
verse service will be provided. The
Railiner will operate to Southamp-
ton in the morning, and return

"The new schedules will be
particularly convenient for busi-
nessmen tire4d of driving on busy
highways and facing city parking
congestion," said E. P. Burns, CNR
superintendent at Stratford.
Mr. Burns added that in res-
ponse to popular demand, the Can-
adian National would provide a
Sunday evening service from Ow-
en Sound and Kincardine with con-
nections to Toronto, London and
beyond.
The CNR's printed summer
timetable does not show this ser-
vice, which replaces the Monday
morning Railiner originally sched-
uled from these points. However,
a new district timetable will be
available from agents.
The district superintendent said
the new schedules have been
drawn up following meetings in
March with municipalities on the
CNR's Fergus, Owen Sound,
Southampton, Kincardine and
Newton sub-divisions.
Mr. Burns said one of the two
Railiners to be used in the new
service would be taken on a brief
visit over the lines on May 20, 21
and 22. It will' be open for public
inspection.

Last year almost 6,000 Cana-
dian women learned to care for
the sick in their home through
Canadian Red Cross Home Nurs-
ing courses.
Mr. Fines said that future trends
in Secondary education were hard
to predict, but felt that vocational
and Technical schools were needed
and would entice the student quit-
ting grade 2. and :1.0 to gb, on into
a chosen line of education. This
may not come into being for sev-
eral years As it is hard to change
people's thinking.
The principal felt the little "Red,
School House" was on its way out -
and consolidated schools would be
ideal, there being more satisfac-
tion for a. teacher to have 30 pup-
ils in two grades instead of 30 to
40 pupils in eight grades and eight
different courses of study. He also
thought consolidated schools with
a Principal overseeing everything
would make it easier for country
schools to keep the good teachers,
In closing Mr, Fines said the
school buses were doing an excel-
ent job.
A hearty vote of thanks was ex-
tended to Mr, Fines for his infor-
mative talk, the evening came to
an end with coffee and lunch be-
ing served.
