Hillcrest Forum
Due to road conditions Mon-
day evening, the attendance was
11 when the Hillcrest Forum
met at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Paton with Mr. Earl’Atkin
son as discussion leader and Mr.
Arthur Simpson as secretary. The
questions for discussion were:
1. What are some of the facts
of farming that you think town
and city people are not well
enough informed on?
Answer: Town and city people
think what we, the farmers, re
ceive is all profit. They do not
know the amount invested in
machinery, equipment, cattle and
the cost of producing crops. What
the city people pay is not the
same as what the farmer receives.’
The middleman receives too much
for his services, we think.
2. How can you in your Farm
Forum help to improve under
standing on the problems you
have listed in reply to Question
1?
Answer: The newspaper can
publish more facts about farmers'
expenses. We can have press re
porters publish farm forum re
ports. We can invite city people
out to our meetings.
3. If you were on the execu
tive of a provincial or national
farm organization, what would
you recommend by way of pub
lic relations Jor the organization?
Answer; Television programs
are one way. Make them enter
taining as well as informative.
If the farm organizations could
afford to pay one man as a pub
lic relations officer, to express to
the consumers the farm problems,
better understanding would re
sult.
A social time was spent in
playing euchre. The next meet
ing is to be at the home of. Mr.
and Mrs. Earl Atkinson on De
cember 21.

Crediton Man President

elected president of the Huron

at the annual meeting held in
Clinton on Thursday. Mr, Hirtzel
succeeds Frank Thompson, of
Wingham, who presided at the
annual meeting, and was master
of ceremonies at a banquet held
in Ontario Street United Church.
“I think we have the strongest
beef breed in the province of On
tario — in fact we . have more
members now than the Short
horn and the Angus breeds, put
together,” said Mr, Thompson,
During the past few months, he
observed, it has not been easy to
buy Herefords for shipment to
Ontario from Western Canada.
The western breeders, he sug
gested, want to hold their cattle
on the prairies, where they have
planty of grain for feeding.
“The breed is advancing by leaps
arid bounds,” declare^ Ernest
Gilmore, Everett, president of the
Ont a r i o Hereford Association,
“The reason is,” he said, ’’that
we’ve got a wonderful breed of
cattle—a breed that is doing a
lot for us. Let’s not leave it all
to the cattle,—let’s do every
thing we can to promote our
breed, and strengthen our organ
ization.”
Boys and girls who are raising
Hereford' calves as 4-H projects,
said Mr. Gilmore, are engaging
in one of the greatest enterprises
that can be found. He commend
ed the Huron Hereford Associa
tion for its enterprise in encour
aging the raising of Herefords
by 4-H members in Huron.
Guests at the banquet here
Thursday night included 54 of
the 60 young men and women of
Huron who raised Herefords in
4-H Club work in 1953. Heber J.
L. Eedy, a past president of the
Huron Hereford Association, wel
comed the youthful guests, and
expressed the hope that next year
one of them will succeed in bring
ing the Queen’s Guineas to Hu
ron county.
Other officers of the Huron
Hereford Association for 19 54
include Stanley Jackson, Kippen,
first vice-president; Allan Petrie,
Dungannon, second vice - presi
dent; Ross Eedy, Dungannon,
and R. G. Mason, Ripley, direct
ors for one year; Percy Wright,
Cromarty, and Ralph Foster, of
Goderich, directors for two years;
James R. Coultes, Belgrave, and
Ernest Brown, Clinton, directors
for three years. Harold Baker,
