The energetic young farmer, who finds time to participate in many farm in g activities throughout the year, scored a total of 38 points. This was six more than his nearest rival, Russell Oesch, RR 1 Varna. However, the feat of Mr,. Desch was noteworthy in the fact this was the first time he had exhibited at the Seed Fair. Besides winning the trophy for the most number of points, Fotheringham exhibited the best bushel of oats and won the hay championship. Highlight of the 1965 show held at Clinton was the hay competition, which drew a re- cord total of 110 entries with 38 in one class. Don Hill, Markdale, Crop and Soils Specialist with the depart- ment of agriculture, reported to officials he had never seen a more heavily contested hay competition—not even at the Royal Winter Fair.

Runner-up in Os- borne was Larry Skinner. The awards were presented by Don Pullen, Huron assistant agriculture representative. Iris was also presented with another trophy as the top mem- ber of a 4-H dairy club. This was a new trophy donated by the Hibbert Dairy Co-Opera- tive. It was presented by Vic- tor Jeffery. Sam Skinner chaired the meeting and guests were in- troduced by Lorne Elford. Brief comments were made by Rev. Hugh Wilson, minister of the Elimville and Thames Road United Churches and Hamilton Hodgins, president of the Mid- dlesex F of Hugh Rundle, Osborne di- rector on the Hog Producers Association, reported an appeal had been made to erect an as- sembly yard at Exeter.

Ken Johns reported for the Co-Op Medical Services, in- dicating the agreement f or chiropractic service was not working out too well because claims were running very high. He said it would be impos- sible to continue this service unless premiumsrepertwasIs ae weregiven in- creased. by A "The only part I liked about Russia was the fact the men did the thinking and the women did the work". That was a statement made at the Usborne Township Fed- eration of Agriculture banquet in Thames Road Thursday night by Gord McGavin, Walton. The Huron implement dealer had proof that such was the case in Russia too, as he show- ed many slides of women work- ing in fields and around farms. McGavin was in Russia on a tour some time ago and showed films taken at that time. He reported he had no difficulty in taking pictures wherever he wanted. The former Liberal candidate also had pictures of the Inter- national Plowing Match to give the Usborne people an idea of what they can expect in the way of crowds when the event is staged near Seaforth in 1966. McGavin is co-chairman of the local planning committee and is a director of the Ontario Plowmen's Association. He said 100,000 people could be expect- ed to visit Huron during the plowing event. He was introduced by Phil Johns, past president of the F of A and thanked by Bob Down, one of the directors. Another highlight of the meet- ing was the presentation of awards to the top 4-H members in Osborne, and for the second time in a row this trophy went to Iris Marshall, Kirkton. Batt'n around Mt.

Forum discuss aged problems Twenty three members of Fairfield Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Neil to discuss "The Claims of Age." The members were agreed that to have a well-adjusted retirement there would have to be social security, good health and a sense of social belonging. Older citizens are helped by the old age pension and a medical health plan. They thought everyone should be helped to find a hobby before reaching retirement age. Some thought municipalities should be responsible for the well-being of the aging family, while others suggested the county home but all were in agreement that it is the moral responsibility of the family to look after their parents but fi- nancially . it ,is a social prob- lem. In answer to the question as to what the community has done for older citizens it was men- tioned that locally some apart- ments had been provided; a Se- nior Citizens club met every month for a social time and the Women's Institutes took turns in entertaining the residents at Huronview. The next meeting will beheld at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Haist. Tom. Mr. & Mrs. Alfred Kelk and Janie of Ancaster spent the weekend with Mr. & Mrs. Tom Huffman. PERSONALS M.

With the uniforms costing around $30—and if each of these girls purchased one— this means that about $7,500 worth of business would be given to an outside firm. This means not only a loss of this opportunity for sales by area merchants, but it also means a loss of sales in other teenage clothing to them. Area merchants can not afford to lose this volume of business. The area can not afford to have area merchants losing this volume of business. The common practice of buy- ing from stores out of the area is a criticism that can be level- led at many people, and certain- ly not only those involved with the purchase of school uniforms at SHDHS. In fact, the situation is reach- ing the point where one wonders if people ever stop to think area merchants are in business for any other reason than to make donations. Let's look at the situation. When students at SHDHS pub- lish their annual year book they go to area merchants and sell advertisements to help pay the cost. When sports teams want a special promotion they go to area merchants and ask them to help pay the cost of advertising. When the area needed a hos- pital, donations were sought from area merchants. When a swimming pool was being planned, donations were sought from area merchants. When scholastic awards were needed at SHDHS, the Exeter Lions—mostly businessmen— provided them. In short, when any group wants some donation for one project or another, they invari- ably ask area merchants to help. And invariably those area merchants are generous indeed in their support of community projects. 'In fact, they're more generous than most people and without their assistance the success of many of these pro- jects would just not be. Practically every week some organization or group is can- vassing area merchants for a donation of one kind or another. Many of these organizations deserve support, but it is high time they realized they just can't have their cake and eat it too. In many cases area mer- chants are never contacted for a price or even given a chance on supplying a certain article . . . but if it's for a donation of some kind, they're never missed. The economy of this area is dependent upon the wellbeing of each segment of that econ- omy. A loss of income for one group is a loss to the entire area, and money spent outside the area is lost to this area completely. It will not be available for advertising in school maga- zines. It will not be available to help fix roads. It will not be available to build an addition at SHDHS. It will not be available for donations to churches, rec- reation, charities, fair boards, farm improvement groups, etc., etc., etc. Students at SHDHS may be excused for not considering the implications of their acts in this regard. Their staff advi- sors and the school board can not be given the same degree of pardon. But because there are so few who can ,'throw the first stone", let us be satisfied with re- assessing the situation and carrying it on in the correct manner. And that may be a policy that all elected and ap- pointed groups, organizations and private citizens should re- assess as well. 3y MRS.
