Students from Huron Central Secondary School have added their names to those requesting an inquiry. This week Robert McKinley (P.C. Huron) presented a petition signed by 196 students of the school to Solicitor-General Lawrence C. Pennell. The pe- tition did not express any belief of innocence or guilt but asks for an inquiry because of the many questions arising from the book. Mr. McKinley was told by Mr. Pennell that no date for a prob- able decision on the case can be entertained until this weekend. Members of the department of justice are still studying the transcript of the trial which is more than 3,000 pages and relat- ing it to claims of Truscott's innocence and other circum- these figures", "Someone must provide leadership in this". Mr. Stewart mentioned the Re- search branch and indicated these people are trying to foresee the needs of the next five to ten years. Speaking of the changes since the war, Mr. Stewart mentioned the high cost of farm land and charged farmers are competing against each other in attempting to buy this. "You can't get the proper return on your invest- ment at these prices", he warn- ed. Officials from Canadian Can- ners, local municipal heads and Department of Agriculture re- presentatives were on hand for the meeting. "Look to the future" was the message brought to the Perth Huron Can-Crop Growers at their annual banquet Friday evening. John Stewart of Ailsa Craig, well known agriculturalist pointed out a few of the trends and problems which will have to be faced in the future to meet ever expand- ing food needs for the world. "The future of agriculture never looked better, but, costs have never been higher as well," Mr. Stewart told over 250 grow- ers and their wives. He stated Canada can double her food pro- duction but there are many coun- tries who cannot do this. "There are 21 countries in the world who cannot become self sufficient i n food production", he said. In looking to the future grow- ers must look at the facts Mr. Stewart said. Mr. Stewart pre- dicted that the rapid expansion of world population will bring changes to this area. He pointed out that the University of Guelph will expand from 2,500 students to 6,000 by 1970. He predicted C anada will double her population within 20 years and there will be 17 other countries which will do the same. Explaining the problem which will face food producers he said, "the world population will double in 25 years and yet today there A classified advertisment under situations wanted may have aroused some curiosity as to what the Experiment in International Living means. Len Hume, a grade 12 student at SHDHS may well have a chance of finding this out first hand this summer if his application is accepted and he can raise sufficient money for t h e trip. The experiment is designed to find out if people of different nations can understand one an- other well enough to see to it that their governments live peacefully together. A look at the itinerary of the boys who will visit Mexico this summer outlines what the boys will be doing. Depart from Canada by bus. Orientation in Mexico City with Senora Babraba B. de Gomez.

Though it appears to be a Very Small town, Guadalupita has a population of about 4,000 inhabi- tants. The young people's club, which invited a Canadian group of young people to work with them, has 68 members and is very ac- are only two ,continents which export food today". North Amer- ica and Australia still export food but he predicted there will be a drop in U.S. exports soon. He predicted the demand for exports will not slacken. Mr. Stewart called on growers to produce more to meet the ever increasing demands which will come in the not too distant future but warned this increase must be done systematically if growers are going to meet those needs. He called for more leadership in this field and cited hogs as an example. He suggested someorn, should have told producers there was a shortage of hogs. He added that the figures were available and growers, "must be given Whether an inquiry will be held into the controversial Truscott case will not be known until at least after this weekend. Accord- ing to reports from Ottawa many members of Parliament feel an inquiry will be held because of the wave of requests from all parts of the country rece iv e d since the publication of a book written by Mrs. Isabel LeBour- tive.

Truscott's claim of innocence from the time he was first ques- tioned to the present seems to be one of the major factors in public demand for an inquiry. Truscott's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Truscott, visited him Saturday and reported their son's spirits continue to rise as public support for an inquiry increases. Mr. Truscott said his son was particularly pleased at the news that students at the high school in Clinton had sent the petition to Robert McKinley urging an inquiry. Feelings in Huron county ap- pear to be mixed but most resi- dents appear to feel the boy re- ceived a fair trial. They know the members of the jury and most are convinced that if these F, R. Dobbs, a member of the Ausable River Conservation Aun- thority has had an article pub- lished in the magazine Water- sheds, a publication of the De- partment of Energy and Resourc- es, Conservation Authorities branch. The article deals with a tour which members took through Tennessee watershed. New 'no parking from here to corner' signs were erected this week in accordance with a bylaw passed recently.

Carroll of RR 2 Smith Falls who has been living at Le Pines motel was turning into the lot when his car was struck in the rear by a car driven by jack Parsons of RR 1 Exeter. Darnage was minor. If someone happened to get a little mixed up and thought this season was fall rather than spring there are few who could blame him. Tuesday afternoon some producers were still attempting to harvest some of the corn which they failed to get off last fall while others were making a start at spring plowing and cultivating. Most night school classes were completed at the SHDHS this week although a few will continue into April. This is the week Exeter stores return to being open Friday even- ings. It is the custom of mer- chants to close on that evening from January through March but to remain open during the rest of the year, * * * * Monday evening Exeter Kin- ettes celebrated their fourteenth anniversary of the club with a special dinner at the Hens all Hotel. * * * * Visitors have been restricted at the South Huron Hospital due to many cases of Flu ' in the area.

The 23 municipalities in the county were invited to send in the name of one representative for this position and county coun- cil considered these and made their choice recently. One of the considerations given in choosing these men was that they not be active in municipal politics and they could not have been on council for the preced- ing two years. Financial details concerning the 1966 International Plowing Match, scheduled for Huron County in October, were worked out Monday when representatives of the local committee met in Toronto with the executive of the Ontario Plowman's Association.

Stephenson, Seaforth, and Bill Hanly, trea- surer, Goderich. The match, sponsored by the Ontario Plowman's Association, is expected to attract more than 100,000 spectators during the four days of activity.

Hydro engineers are ready to provide necessary capacity to serve the exhibitors and public, while Bell telephone people are faced not only with facilities for the public, but also with provid- ing cables for TV and radio pro- grams that will originate on the grounds. CKNX is planning for point to point communication within the match site, Mr. Scott said.
