The Huron County Federation
of Agriculture reports that the

has reached the 1800 mark.
The challenge by Gordon Hill,
president of the OFA, at the
annual convention in Oshawa
last November, where he called
for an Ontario membership of
26, 000 by next fall, is answered
with great enthusiasm by Huron
County farmers.
Number 1800 is Gerald Blake,
of R. R.1, Ethel, in Grey Town-
ship. He was signed up by Will-
iam (Bill) Crawford, fieldman
for HFA and Nilson Sieightholm,

Recreation tips
Speed kills!
This is a statement that we
have been hearing for years
from the automotive traffic
safety experts. And it is a
proven fact. In an effort to
conserve gasoline in the curr-
ent fuel shortage in the United
States, speed limits have been
substantially reduced on all
major highways. Not only has
a substantial amount of gasol-
ine been saved, but traffic
accidents and fatalities have
declined sharply.
The Ontario Safety League
states that speed kills snow-
mobilers just as surely as it
kills autombile drivers. Drive
a snowmobile at speeds beyond
your ability to control your
machine or react in time to
avoid hazards and you will
inevitably end up an accident
victim. Make no mistake about
it, it is collisions caused by
speed and resultant lack of
control that are killing snow-
mobilers. As of January 24,
1974, twenty-nine fatalities
had occurred in Ontario

ANNUAL MEETING
The Annual meeting of the
Bayfield Agricultural Society
was held on Wednesday, January
23, in the Municipal Building
in Bayfield with 30 members
present.
President Everett Mclllwain
presided and reports of the past
year were read and approved.
The treasurer's report showed a
reduced bank balance from the
previous year caused by the drop
in attendance at the Fair; due
no doubt to the excessive heat
experienced. Plans were discus-
sed for this year's fair and the
dates were set as Friday evening,
August 30, and Saturday after-
noon, August 31, the Labour
Day weekend.
Some of the sections will
have additional prizes this year
and the amounts increased. It
was pointed out that the one
dollar entry or membership fee
enables exhibitors to show in
any number of classes.
The proposal from the Lions
Club to renovate the Fair
Grounds and plans for an athlet-
ic field were discussed and the
members voted in favour of all-
owing the Lions Club to make
the necessary arrangements for
this to be done. The Agricult-
ural Society will have the use
of the Arena and grounds at fair
time as usual.
The board of directors as
proposed by the committee was
accepted and the following are
officers for 1974; president,
Thomas Penhale; past president,
Everett Mclllwain; first vice-
president, Harry Baker; second
vice-president, Brigadier Fred
Clift; secretary -treasurer, Mrs.
Audrey Graham.
Directors are Edwin Dunn,
I-Iarold Penhale, Fraser Stirling,
Mrs. Eldon Yeo, Fred McCly-
mont, John Semple, Harvey
Coleman, Adam Flowers.
A card party is planned for
Friday, March 15, with the men
of the society in charge. There
