terest, call it what you like, these
people are learaleg about agriculture,
and it is a practice that we should
encourage „ The more city and
town folks that we can interest in
agriculture the better will be our
relations , .. The Royal is a goad
example , The folks from town are
seeing the best stock, and the best
showmen. They are meeting their
country cousins, and finding out what
makes them tick , . , I think the fairs
are ideal grounds for the establish-
ment of better rural-urban relations,
I was reading in a recent edition of
the Financial Post, » that there is a
growing gulf between the country and
city folk, one that is constantly widen-
ing. The Post states that in the olden
days, most of the adults in towns and
cities had been brought up on the
farm, and had close 'relatives still on
the farm . . . As a result they spent
frequent week-ends at home, and the
children spend a few weeks of their
summer vacation in the country. But
today, many of those contacts have
been broken . . . As the Financial
Post says, "It is quite possible that a
large proportion of our Canadian
children have never visited a farm ...
These people, may think a herd of
cattle, or a flock of sheep, or an or-
chard in bloom are merely interesting
shots for their colour camera, not an
investment of several thousand dol-
lars." Then the Post continues, "It is
not good for any country like ours
to have two major population groups
with so little knowledge of each other's
life and problems". This is a trend
that is growing, and one that we can
do something about if we try. . . The
big fair, and the little fairs too, are
good places to start. If agriculture,
organized or as individual groups,
would attempt to convey a message to
their urban friends, they would be
doing a good job, that is badly needed.
AN AGE-OLD STORY RE-TOLD-
WESTFIELD
Farm Fenno Discusses
Margarine
I I The Farm Forum was held on. Mon-V
day night at the home of Mrs, Frank ( A'
Campbell, The topic for discussion
was aThe Challenge of Dairy Sabsti-
bites." If dairying was seriously in-
jured by the widespread use of imi-
tation dairy Products what effect
Would this have on the other branchep
of Canadian agriqUiture, such as grain,
livestock, other than dairy cattle
poultry etc?
Members of the Forum said the
large dairy farms are in production
of fluid milk and therefore not in
competition with butter substitutes,
The majority of butter producing cows
are probably general purpose or beef
type and would be kept for beef pro-
duction anyway whether the market
was favorable or not. Therefore the
loss of the butter market would prob-
ably not effect the other branches of
agriculture.
Any drop in urban income is sure
to effect the urban consumer unfav-
orably through time. Also without
competition from butter, the price of
the substitutes would soon rise,
What can the farmer do to help
meet the challenge of dairy substi-
tutes.? The farmers should use their
own proaaucts exclusively, extensive
advertising of the advantages of milk
would be one of the best ways to meet
the challenge.
The opinion of the forum regarding
legislation in the province governing
the sale and manufacture of edible
oil products was that the law govern-
ing the color in substitutes should be
continued as at present. Coloring is
for the sole purpose of imitating the
genuine product. Actually to increase
the sale.
The social 'activities were led by
Winnifreci Campbell. Lunch was serv-
ed and a social time spent.

HEARS ABOUT IRELAND
The regular meeting of the Women's
Institute was held in the council
chamber on Nov. 19th. In the absence
of the president Mrs. Aitchison, the
meeting was conducted by Mrs. Mc-
Laughlin and opened with the Ode
and the Mary Stewart Collect. The
secretary, Mrs. Henry, read the min-
utes and correspondence and treasur-
er's report. Mrs. W. J. Henderson was
convener for this meeting and she
gave a paper on the motto "Let us
take time for all things, make us grow
calm, serene, gentle".
Mrs. J. Henry gave a splendid report
on the convention in London to which
she was a delegate. Mrs. Burrell gave
a very fine report of the East, West
Huron Rally which was held in Gorrie
Mrs. (Rev.) 'Saui/lie of Bluevale was
giiest spnalter.' She spoke on Ireland,
it being her homeland. She told many
Interesting and humorous things about
Ireland, also the enmity and hostility
between the North and South which
is very bitter. This address was very
muela enjoyed by everyone.
Mrs. Henderson presented a beauti-
ful corsage to Mrs. Bailie and
also one to the grandmother with the
most granddaughters which was Mrs.
alowbray. This being the meeting
when the Institute entertained the
Grandmothers.
There was community singing and
Marilyn and Dorothy Chamney played
very nidely, a piano duet.
It was decided to hold a euchre
party in the council chambers near
the end of November. Roll call was
answered by naming a historical mon-
ument. The meeting closed with God
Save The Queen, and a social time was
enjoyed while lunch was served.

WALKERTON BARBERS
INCREASE RATES
At a recent meeting of Walkerton
barbers, of whom there are now four,
it was decided to make a slight in-
crease in rates in order to compensate
for the jump in operating costs which
has been apparent in recent years.
The tonsorial artists will now charge
the following rates as recommended
by the Ontario Barbers' Association:-
Adult's hair cut, 65c; shave, Mc;
tonics, 25c; child's hair cut, 50c. That
vexatious problem of town youngsters
persisting in visiting the barber shop
on Saturdays to be shorn of what is
usually a bumper crop, was also dealt
with, and it was decided in the future
to charge the price of an adult's hair
cut of 65c for Saturday service, This
does not include rural youngsters who
will pay only 50c at all times, and is
one instance where the boy from the
farm has aft advantage over his town-
bred brother. A8 fifteen cents is quite
a suni to most kids, there Will no
doubt be a heavy dernand on local
barbers' time as the young fry flock
for service during the after-school
hours. The new barber rates went
into effect on Monday of this week,
November 16th, —Walkerton llerald-
