CKNX will be carrying the,
forum on TV again this year
and we are hoping for an even
better program. A planning
meeting was held Sept. 24 and
the first forum on TV will be
Wednesday, Nov. 4.
While subjects are definitely
farm topics we are hoping they
will be just as interesting to the
urban viewers as they apparent-
ly were last year. In a com-.
munity such as this the prob-
lems on the farm have a real
bearing on the prosperity of the
towns. A mutual understanding
on farm natters will prove bene-
fioial to all.

Ag rep's ruse. ,helps to decide
.Huron. county's top showman
A ruse by Huron Ag Ben
Douglas Miles helped to decide
Huron County's champion 4.1-1
beef showman,
Judge Brad Schneller, associ-
ate a. rep, Lambton ,was hay-
ing
av
ing difficulty
ficulty placing the six top
showmen in the ring. He had
them exchange calves, circle
the ring, stand.
He watched them intently, eye-
ing them individually. Their
eyes were trained on him as they
worked incessantly to show their
calves to best advantage.
Sehneller placed .then in the
centre of the ring with Gordon
Hodgins, Granton, first and Bill
Strong, Seaforth, second. But he
kept watching them, trying to
make a final decision,
Then the judge and. Doug Miles
had a short conference. Seconds
later, Miles began walking to-
ward the group. Hodgins, think•
ing the ag rep was going to feel
his animal, took his eyes off the
judge for a. second, then realized
the ruse, But it was too late.
Miles circled the group, a grin
slowly developing on his face
as two or three at the bottom of
the line turnedtoward him. Then
he circled back to the judge.
That did it. Bill Strong, who
had kept his eyes on Schneller,
won the Senator Golding show-
manship trophy for the third
straight year. Hodgins was sec-
ond by a glance.
Leroy Rintoul, Whitechurch,
was judged third and three other
members of the Kirkton club,
Grant Hodgins, Pat O'Shea and
Charles O'Shea followed in that
order.
"That was a bit of -a dirty
trick," said Miles apologizing to
the boys afterwards. "But the
competition was so close we had
to do something to pick a win-
ner."
Commented Judge Schneller:
"A terrific .bunch of showmen."
Renney cops
heifer honors
Morris Renney, RR. 2 Credi-
ton, an American nephew of the
Hirtzel Bros. captured the grand
champion ribbon in the heifer
section of the Huron County 4-H
championship show at Seaforth
Friday.
His Hereford from the Hirtzel
herd topped 22 other heifers
from six clubs in the county..
Renney's triumph at Seaforth
followed two other wins in the
Stephen calf club show at Exe-
ter Fair Thursday to make the
young American's debut into Hu-
ron county 4-H work a most suc-
cessful one. He took the junior
heifer honors and the showman-
ship award in the club show.
One other Stephen entry, that
of Howard . Hendrick, RR 2 Cre-
diton, placed in the first group
of the junior heifer section.
,The steer championship, one
of the most coveted awards in
the county program, went this
year to Bud Yeo, Bayfield. Re-
serve honors were won by Ken
Black, Blyth-Belgrave, in an-
other keenly contested battle.
Noticeably absent from the
competition this year was the
Exeter club, Which has supplied
bop contenders for a number of
years. The club hit a "depres-
sion" this year when only five
members joined. Doris and Mu-
riel .Cornish, RR 1 Woodham,
were the only Exeter entries at
Seaforth, They placed in the
second group of the senior hei-
fer section.
South Huron, however, was
well represented by Stephen and
Kirkton clubs,
The Hodgins and O'Sheas from
Kirkton area placed three steers
in the first group. Gordon Hod-
gins came third and Charles
O'Shea fourth, While Avis Hod-
gins stood fifteenth.
Four other Kirtkon members
were in the second group -Mon-
ica and Pat O'Shea, Grant and
Allah Hodgins, Brian Gill, RR 1
Grand Bend, was also in this
group.
A Kirkton heifer, shown by Mi-
chael O'Shea, placed in the sec-
ond group of the junior female
section.
Beef clubs score 100%
• Highlight of the two 4-H beef
calf shows at Exeter fair was
the 100% completion of both:

shown by Brian Gill, who also
won fourth for showmanship.
Doug Russell, RR 2 Dashwood,
was runner-up with his' steer.
Doris Cornish, RR 1 Wood-
ham, won two 'firsts in the Exe-
ter calf club show. Hern animal
