Orval Taylor, a member of the executive for several years, retired this year, Roy Jewell, farm commentator, London, was the guest speaker at the meeting, and voiced his con- cern in the decline in quality be- coming apparent in Huron County as well as in other areas. He stated that the USA. producers were becoming more quality con- scious, and if Ontario producers continued to let quality slip, then the problem of' finding markets would become acute. As an incen- tive to a better quality hog, Mr. Jewell suggested that a greater differential in the price paid for Grade A and for Grade 131 hogs might be the answer. Commenting on the marketing board, Mr. Jewell compared it to a piano slightly out of tune.

Similarly a number_ bf other residents of the county are in favour of preserving the old court hoose building in some manlier, and providing extra and much needed storage space by locating the county offices elsewhere. Though little if any, • reference to such srestions appeared in the report to the press, it is understood that a suggestion of re -locating the county offices here in Clinton has been made at various times in the county coun- cil sessions. Reason for building in Clinton would be the greater accessibility to more of the county. At present the agricultural of- fice, county home and counti health unit are located here, tine it is felt by many that rathei than removing the health unit to Goderich, and thus causing greater mileage expense, it would by a great measure save money if the county offices were located heile in ainton. McMurray Accepts Secretary's Job $4,000 Prize List For Spring Show . A. J. McMurray, who has been secretary of the Central Agricul- tural Society for 24 years, and has been tireless in helping to build the Clinton Spring Show to the success it has shown in past years, has accepted the position of sec- retary -treasurer of the fair again. This is the golden year of the Spring Show, as well as being the 100th anniversary of the first fair held in Clinton. The secretary -treasurer, speak- ing to the directors ' who met last Saturday afternoon to establish the prize list op this anniversary year, was rather pessimistic• for A. 3. MeMURRAY Credit Union Members May Borrow At Six Per Cent Under New Ruling Members of the Clinton Com- munity Credit Union Ltd., at their annual meeting Friday night in St. Paul's parish hall, Clinton, were informed that a motion passed dur- ing the year by the board of direc- tors will allow all members whose loans are fully secured by their savings, to borrow after -March 1, this year, at the rate of one -half - per -cent a month or six per cent per annum. With this change in policy, treasurer -manager W. V. Roy, ex- plained that it is possible for a member. with $1000 savings to have $1000 free life insurance, and at the present rate of divi- dend (three per cent) borrow $500 without any direct interest charge, The meeting approved the payment or three per cent dividends The treasurer manager's report showed that the membership dur- ing 1953 had increased from 124 to 332, with 25 members being sus- pended due to lack of interest. The share capital increased from $8,176 to $32,832—a very substan- tial one, said Mr. Roy. The net earnings for the year amounted to $687,35, while the gross earnings were $2,730, as compared to $180. Total assets were $48,125, while liabilities were $33,528. Thomas Steep, thairrnan of the credit committee reported that there were 155 loans passed In 1953, the total sum being $64,733. Guest speaker was Fred Schtiett Guelph, field representative with the Ontario Credit Union League, introduced by A, Garon, second vice-president, who acted as chair- man, and thanked by Charles Shane. President of the Community Un- ion L. G. Winter, welcoming the large crowd, said To most of us the credit union provides the most effective instrument yet developed to assist us in solving our money problems. Miss Patricia Morrison, secre- tary, reported on office equipment bought. She said that a great deal of work was done during the year by the educational committee in the form of advertising. W. V. Roy and Lloyd Moore were returned tolhe board of dir- ectors for a three-year term; C. J. Livermore, to the credit commit- tee; and R. G. McCann to the supervisory committee for a simil- ar term. - Appointed to the educational committee were Rev. J. Graham, Charles Shane, John -Malwyuk, Laurence Haughton, and Gordon Hamilton. Supper was served by the wo- men of the church, while entertain- ment was provided by Jack and Wayne Watkins, accompanied by Mrs Bert Irwin. The credit committee includes, laaaaes its chairman, Th om a s Steep, C. J. Livermore and Mac LeBeau; the audit committee in- cludes Dr. D. B. Palmer, chairman, R. G. McCann and K. W. Colgu- hour. Assistant treasurer is Gail Manning, Snow Removial Costs $400; Tractor Needed Speaking as chairman of the public works committee of the town of Clinton, Reeve J. W. Nediger yesterday stated that the job of clearing the town streets of snow last week, with the use of an overhead shovel and three trucks had cost in the neighbourhood of $17 an hour, or over $400, plus the time of the streets foreman, his men, and the town truck. In addition work done by tractor on the sidewalks of the town was charged at the rate of $3.25 an hour, and would add to the quoted cost The reeve is in favour of the purchase of a tractor for the use of the streets department, and equipped with the proper attachments, such a tr a cto r would be able to handle snow - removal jobs during the winter, and various other jobs through- out the year, without putting the town to the expense of hir- ing; the work done with rented equipment. 1954 Executive of Clintonian Club These ladies are the execUtive members for 1954 of the Clintonian Club, one of the younger Mary Hastings Heusewife clubs.

Last year, the Spring Show was rained out twice, and as a result begins op- eration in 1954 with an operating deficit. Besides this, Mr. McMur- ray expressed his' disappointment in the fact that a county council composed of at least 60 per cent agricultural men, should see fit to cut agricultural society grants this , year. He said, "It is hard for me to understand, when agriculture is the greatest basic industry that we He stated that to be a success, the Spring Show must have the backing of all the townships, and the business folk of Clinton, equal to that splendid support given last year and in past yearswhen last year was a success despite the weather, Mr. McMurray stated that he had nothing in mind but to put over the 50th anniversary of the fair in as big a way as he could. "When these other things crop up, we wonder if we're ac- complishing anything worth while, ' or whether our efforts are being appreciated at all," Mr. McMurray said. The directors at the meeting voiced their support of the secre- tary -treasurer in his work, and un- der the kadership of the president the $4000 prize -list offered in 1953 I was reviewed. One more class was I added to allow for a prize for the best dressed team on the grounds. The meeting decided to request the Minister of Agriculture of On- tario to officially open the fair. The secretary was authorized to send a letter to all prospective ex- hibitors stating the purpose of the fair and inviting their exhibits again in 1954.
