A Committee of Ten, repre­ senting 44 municipalities in Bruce, Dufferin, Huron and part of Wellington Counties, has been formed With the ob­ ject of preparing a detailed brief to be presented later this year to the Minister of Industry at Ottawa, petitioning that the . areas *’ concerned be declared "designated” districts entitled to the benefits set out by the federal government to' attract legitimate industry to “sloiw growth” municipalities or areas. The Committee of Ten is at present engaged in collecting facts and figures to assist a petitioning committee irt the preparation of the necessary brief. The latter committee fe composed of ,Roy Grant and Harry Bridle, Mount Forest, and Clarence Schmaltz and E. McOannell of Walkerton. Members of the Committee of Ten are: E. Mclnnes, Han­ over; A. Patterson, Orangeville; Bob Gibson, Gorrie; Ken Gam­ ble, Shelburne; R. McLellan, secretary, Mount Forest; R. Pelton, Listowel; Frank Wal- kom, Goderich; Harry Bridle, Mount Forest; M.

Earlier in .the year, it had been planned to engage the services of a so-called professional group to .plead the region’s case at Ottawa but the estimated cost, balanced against posslibilities ly­ ing in the talents of members of the group themselves, was considered unrealistic and as a result the four-man “brief” committee was appointed. ’ Some of the municipalities involved are in the' MidWestern Ontario Development Associa­ tion and’ .others in the Georgian Bay Development Association. The central committee of which Harry Bridle of Mount Forest is' chairman, appealed to the MODA, it is reported for co­ operation assistance in prepaid ing the projected brief and Were, in effect, turned down. However, it was intimated by a. committee member that the MODA members interested in the two-association -group have elected to stay With the plan. Mount Forest, for instance, is a member of the MODA but will carry dh with the proposal already set. Up by the 44- municipality Committee of Ten. Representatives of these municipalities formed the hew group last February and in the work and research they have done since have come to the conclusion that the plait can probably be''best promoted by business’ and professional men whose futures are de pe ndin g on the economic growth; (of lack of it) in this area of Ontario.

"Of Happiness —because Wh Wednes- the class the ten- have accomplished that which we set out to do. Let us ’’pray that it will be a job well done. “Of Pride — because we have climbed another step closer to our ‘ideals.’ " ‘Ideals are like stars, You can never touch ..them with your hands, But like the mariner . . . • You take them as your guides and, Foillowing them, reach your destiny.’ "Of Sorrow — because today terminates our student days — the casting off of the aqua, the donning of thd white and the acceptance of new responsibil­ ities. "Of Humility — for in these months, we have not only worked with our hearts, heads and hands, but each of us has gained strength from and con­ fidence in God; "Today, we should like to thank the Board of .Directors and Mrs. Morrey, the Admin­ istrator, for providing the op­ portunity of training at the centre of Wingham, and District Hospital.

As class­ mates we helped to celebrate, each other’s birthday and spec­ ial occasions. Many hours were well spent in producing our 'Student Classbook’ which I know we will treasure for many years. ‘Shared remembrances live on, Long after youth has come and gone? "As we look ahead now, may we always remember our motto, ‘Service Above Self.’ We have, in Nursing, chosen a. fine and honourable profession. “Success can . mean many things. With the attaining of ea,ch new success, may we remember that the seedls for that. success and -the strength to attain it were planted during our student days.

Council of Ontario, July 24-30, Was commended by the* Honour­ able William A. Stewart, Min­ ister, of Agriculture and Food. “As a result of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food’/s Farm Accident Survey in 1959-60, and the partial sur- ■ veys 'undertaken by ten coun­ ties during the past three years, it is evident that there'are- far too many accidents on the farm today”, Mr. Stewart pointed out. “Therefore, County and District Farm Safety Councils have been organized to work, in cooperation with the .Farm Safety Council of Ontario and the Department of. Agriculture and Food. Their work is re­ flected in. the reduction of the number of accidents and human as well ,as financial losses. How­ ever, this reduction is still not sufficient and we must all en­ deavour to increase our efforts toward making the farm a saf­ er place to live.” Accident prevention must be­ come an integral' part of farm management since the costs in­ volved in accidents have a con­ siderable bearing on the health and well-being of the farm family, as well as on income by the savings in property loss. The Farm Safety Council of Ontario is. joined by t'he Na­ tional Safety League of Canada ' and the National Safety Coun­ cil of the United States in en­ dorsing Farm Safety Week, in an effort to focus attention on the need for accident preven­ tion throughout the season. Waterloo Cattle Breeding Assoc. Honours Founders At Anniversary Farm Safely Week July 24 to 30 A Family Affair On ithe highway, the modern trend is defensive' driving — anticipating hazards and know­ ing how to avoid them. The Na­ tional Safety League of Can­ ada recommends "defensive farming” knowing where the hazards are in farm work then planning to woTk around them. Hazards' are numerous on the farm, says NSL. With thought, the farmer can an­ ticipate and plan his methods for safety. Short cuts in farm work have resulted in arms and fogs being slashed off, blindness; 'broken skulls and crushed ribs. “The farmer who refuses a shbrlt out when danger is there is the wise one,” said C. E. Car­ son, president of the league. Referring to Canada’s obser­ vance of Farm ’ Safety Week, July 24 to 30, 'Mr1. Carson em­ phasized 'the fact ithat farm safety is a 'family affair, in­ volving everyday habits ih liv: ing Working and playing. “In industry”, he said, “there are safety engineers. On the farm, the-'entire family must Work together to eliminate hazards and forestall careless actsi.” He recommended every farm fam­ ily take advantage of Farm Safety Week to Work out a safety plain for the farm •— home, buildings; fields, mach­ inery, chiemicals, all aspects of farm life, "Make the plan Work add leap happiness and satis­ faction,” Mr. Carson advised.

A group of farmers who pion­ eered artificial insemination as a means of cattle improvement were guests at a dinner spon­ sored by Waterloo Cattle Breed­ ing Association at Kitchener on July 14. • Marking the 25th year of artificial .insemination service in the area, the dinner was some­ thing of a reunion, with the speakers and others . present reminiscing on the early days Of artificial insemination. Among the special guests was W. P. Watson, general manager of Toronto’s Royal Winter Fair, who was Ontario Livestock Commissioner in the 1940’s and helped the various groups to organize artificial insemination. Following the dinner he recalled some of the difficulties involved. “The association was estab­ lished by a relatively small group,” he said. "In the early years iit achieved some success, but With many problems. In' the last 20 years it has expand­ ed because of the excellence of its service”. Mr. Watson trac­ ed the development of Ontario from “an agricultural to an industrial nation.” The key to success for agriculture in the face of increased food require­ ments is increased production and efficiency, he felt. "We must develop more ef­ ficient ..strains of livestock,” he said, commenting that know­ ledge of ancestors of sires would not be enough, but sires with; performance information would •be more and more necessary. • Following the dinner the Back To Clinton gu'ests moved on to the Water­ loo Cattle Breeding Associa­ tion headquarters in Waterloo to join in the breeding 'associa­ tion's' annual open house. More than 900, association members and their,families, gathered to see the' bulls of the various breeds and to 'hear the evening program. GueSt speaker for this pro­ gram was the well-known CBC TV personality, Bob Carbert, formerly of CKNX Wingham. Mr. Carbert’s topic-was “What others think about our in­ dustry” and he spoke of the farmer’s image, which is creat­ ed by the farmers themselves. He commented on the tractor demonstrations being carried on across the province. . “Their position justifies deep, concern, and their actions cer­ tainly demonstrate the exasper­ ation and 'desperation they feel .... However at the same time 'I believe quite sincerely that it Would be a tragedy for all concerned if our govern­ ments were, stampeded iiito some ill-advised, action 'because of the threat of inconveniences to the public, ,or possible strike action”. Mr. Carbert blasted farmers Who have adopted the attitude that there is something "holy” about food producers. Agricul­ ture, he said, has gone through a "Wringing out” process that has left 200,000 less farmers in Canada than there Were 20 years ago. The responsibility for maintaining the farmer’s image rests with themselves and their organizations; he said. "YOU are 'the public rela- . tions people for agriculture. The Way you talk, the way you dress, the way you act, the way you run your business, the kind of product you market • • • these are the things that create agriculture’s image.” Sandy Elliott, Exeter, repre­ sented Huron branch of Waterloo Cattle Breeding sociation.
