Already many friends*and neighbours have rallied to aid this industriousbrave and other artiicl snecessary tonoutf t a fame ly, of seven chldren. Bum cloting t still more help is necessary. The Zurich Lions Club is investigating suitable living quarters, so the family may have a place of their own to live in, and if all plans materialize they should have a temporary home for them within a few days. Father C. A. Doyle and his parishioners are conducting a special campaign to aid the family financially. Monday evening a `Community Emergency Committee" was or- ganized, with representatives of various groups acting as members. This committee is also staging a drive for help in any way possible. Items of used furniture will be appreciated, and food is necessary to replenish the loss the family suffered. Cash donations are also being gratefully accepted. To wind up this week-long campaign for help, this committee has arranged to stage a grand benefit dance in the Community Centre on Friday night. We would be extremely happy to see the Centre jammed to the doors with people on Friday night, to help in some small way. We in this area have always been noted for our fine community spirt, and now when the need arises let us roll up our sleeves and show what can be accomplished. The challenge is left entirely up to your ability, and your charity. But whatever you do, just remember: "AS OFTEN AS YOU DO THESE THINGS— YOU DO THEM UNTO ME" Learnong To Lowe 40 YEARS AGO JANUARY 1921 Mr. and Mrs. Herb Block have moved their household effects to Seaforth where they intend to re- side. Mr. Alvin Surerus left on Fri- day morning for Oakville, where he is employed as a teacher of languages at a educational institu- tion.

The inaugural meeting of Hay council was held last Monday, Reeve Elmore Klopp was in charge with John Campbell, Samuel Deitz, W. E. Turnbull and Louis Rader comprising the council. Mr. C. Fritz has recently sold his half interest in the St. Joseph Fish Company to E. J. Brisson, former- ly of Windsor. The firm will ap- erate under the name of Brisson and Brisson. Miss Dorothy Truemner left for Toronto on Monday to resume her duties as a nurse. What do you wish for 1961? Let's be honest and admit that the question brings to most minds "What do I wish for myself in the new year? — the eternal ego at work. Probably material advancement will be the wish of the majority, especially in the younger age group—a new car, the latest in hi-fi, a better job, a new home, the latest appointments for it—and so on. Many older people will wish to make some trip they've never had time for before. It may be to visit old friends or see the country of their origin. Wishing is only a form of thinking. If you think hard enough about something, action usually follows. There are few goals that cannot be reached if the mind is set on attainment and not diverted from keeping the ultimate goal in view. Perhaps one of the best wishes all of us could make would be to learn how to live and perhaps the sooner the advantages of this wish are instilled into our minds the better. If, as youngsters, we could be made to realize that everything we learn and do becomes part of ourselves; that every thought and action are ingredients that go toward making us into either successful, well -adjusted human beings or misfits in society, we might take more care as we go along life's path. After all, the new car will wear out, the hi-fi becomes obsolete and a new home can become a liability but the things we learn as we go along never wear out. They become part of us and they will never deteriorate if we learn to pick up the right kind of things. All they will do will be to enrich our lives and make them worth while. You have to live with yourself more than with anyone else. It is as well to make that "self" pleasant company.—(Naton News -- The Mistake in The Paper We make mistakes, of course, and so do you; Though ours are brought much more to public view They flaunt themselves, derisive, in our face; We'd give a lot if we could but erase Them, but we cannot; and our plight Is sealed. They're down in black and white. Much as we may deplore them, we refuse to spend Our time apologizing. In the end We must console ourselves in the thought That without errors little work is wrought. Perfection's a fine goal at which to aim; Whenever false notes creep into his work, Oft is inclined his daily tasks to shirk. We much prefer an active role to fill, And "let the scattering chips fall where they will!" —Doane F. Kiechel, in the Superior Express 30 years ago.

(BILL) B. T, SMILEY) One of my Grade II students is intensely interested in unidentified flying objects, and visitors from outer space. I think he expected me to scoff when he told me about it. On the contrary, I assured hint there was nothing ridiculous about such stories, and mentioned one such visitor I'd had myself. He spread the word. and next thing I knew, all the kids in the class were clamoring to hear the story. There was no choice bu to read it to them, just as I had put it down two years ago. Most of you will remember it, but I think it bears -retelling, if only to prove that you can't tangle with the 'flue, eleventy-seven exam papers, and the January blues and turn out a scintillating column, So here it is. JANUARY 1936 Jacob Haberer a n d Kenneth Routledge, auditors for Hay Town- ship Fire Insurance Company, were in Crediton last Monday perform- ing their annual audit duties. Mrs. W. L. Siebert is visiting with her daughter Mrs. Major, in Toronto. William Lamont made a business trip to Grand Bend on Monday. As Mr. Lamont uses a horse and cutter in his insurance business the trip must have taken a considerable length of time. Mr. Gerald Bedard, who has spent the holidays at his home here, has returned to his teaching duties in Toronto. Walter Weston, of Sarnia, and Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Becker, of Dashwood, were weekend visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Edward Ttitii1.

Joseph Ducharme, of Maymont, Saskatchewan, is spending a few weeks with relatives in this dis- trict. Reg Black, who is on the teach- ing staff near Dresden, spent the weekend with his wife and baby son Daniel Herbert, at the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herb Mousseau. Miss Margaret Rader and Mr. Ed. Human, of Woodstock, spent the New Year's holiday at the home of the former's parents Mr. and Mrs. Ted Rader, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Roche and son Wayne, spent a week visiting friends and relatives at Chatham, Windsor and Detroit. Mrs. Harry Rose and daughter Stella, of Zurich, and Mr. and Mrs. Keith Rose, of London, spent a few days visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Kuntz, of Windsor. Then he spoke. At least, I'm not sure whether he spoke. He may have used some type of mental tele- pathy, ele any rate we thoughttransference. on conversa- tion. ony era -tion. `Don't be alarmed." he soothed. "They told me to find an average Earthman, and you're about as av- erage as they come." Crunch, crun- ch. "Well, thanks," I retorted, try- ing to get some sarcasm into my shaky tremolo. "Thanks very much, I'm sure." "They wondered," he went on rather indifferently, snapping off another piece, crunch, crunch, "if there was any point in taking over this third-rate planet, as planned, and trying to do something with the natives.

I was looking at a picture in the paper, conclus- ive evidence that the human race is mammalian, of Miss Jayne Mans- field, modeling a dress cut to pro- ve that the young lady's bust is indeed bigger than her butt, or whichever it's supposed to be. I must admit I was enjoying mbyself, in a disgusted sort of way. g: * .Suddenly Ir had a nasty feeling that someone was reading over my shoulder. I whirled around and there he was. Next thing I know, I was up on top of the mantel, quavering: "Hoor you?" It wasn't the fact that he was stark naked and four feet high that startled ine. Nor that he was a peculiar peagreen all over. Nor that he had only one eye, and that of deep purple, set right at the end of his short square nose Ea, ers SF V lied s arketin DIA ale1ph Coarse BY J. CARL. HEMINGWAY Farmers are not the only people burdened with surpluses. Farm writers also have to face this pro- blem. Example: this past week, a hog producer meeting on Tuesday and then three days of discussion at the Marketing and Co-operation Short Course at the OAC. Certain- ly enough to fill many columns if reported as it should be. Hence a very sketchy report. First a "thank you," to the kind co-operation given by the county weeklies in reporting the meeting of Federation and affiliated Com- modity Groups with local mem- bers of pariament. Very briefly the result of the Hog Producer meeting in Toronto resulted in a decided show of con- fidence by producers in their pres- ent Hog Marketing method. These producers seemed to feel that it would he impossible for them to come up with an improved mark- eting method by January 16, but they did express willingness to ad- minister to the best of their abil- ity whatever marketing method. t h e Farm Products Marketing Board proposed. From the Guelph Conference I can only attempt to give my gen- eral impressions rather than a re- port of the meeting. It seems to me that far too much attention was given to difference of opinions among the farm orga- nization rather than trying to ex- tend the much more numerous po- ints of agreement. Again and ag- ain the problem of how the activ- ities of Marketing Boards and Co - Op Boards could be reconciled, .was introduced. This point was pro- bably first introduced by Minister of Agriculture in reference to the Hog Producers Marketing Board and the organization of the "Fame" Co-operative, This problem seems to be of great concern to those who are doubtful supporters of either. Co -Ops or Marketing Boards. "Human, eh?" he snorted. "Oh, you're a grand lot, you humans. You preach brotherly love, and every 20 or 30 years you murder each other by millions. You boast of human kindness, but you hold your grain for the right price while millions of humans starve. Your best brains are totally engrossed in making two things — more hor- rible weapons and more money. Your churches are monuments to a lost cause. Your women are ,i,* * greedy shrews.

Since both of these groups .have the same objective of improving the conditions of the farmer I can see no reason for a quarrel and as long as this remains the purpose there need be no battle. Could it be that because many of the Marketing Board members have at some time previous been dir- ectors of local Co -Ops they now have a very detailed knowledge of both Co -Ops and Marketing Boards and therefore have no fears. The Co -Op Director has full informa- tion of his Co -Op but lacks some- thing of the same level of under- standing of the Marketing Board, and therefore has a fear propor- tionate to his lack of knowledge.? This would then explain the great fears of conflict that seemed to be in the minds of those not closely connected with either? 0 BIEMINTIMMEMENMEIESIMNIMMEMEEMESIMV n January session of Huron Coun- ty Council will open on Tuesday, January 17, 1961, at 2:00 p.m. .All communications in connec- tion therewith must be in the hands of the Clerk not later than Friday, January 13th at 12:00 noon.
