WELL EQUIPPED
THEATRE OPENS
AT RADIO SCHOOL
R.A.F. Men Enjoy London
Show At Official
Opening.
ON THURSDAY '"NIGHT
The newly equipped theatre at the
Clinton Radio School was officially
opened on Thursday evening when
Alf. Tibbs Follies of London, played
to an audience that packed the audi-
torium.
Professionally equipped, the theatre
represents hours of spare time work
on the part of Squadron Leader K.
Warrington and officers and men of
the school. The purchase of stage
fittings was made possible to a large
degree by a grant of $1,800 from the
Warden's Committee of Huron Coun-
ty Council.
The Alf. Tibbs' Follies play a. how
a week in air force and army camas
throughout Western Ontario. The
troupe is one• of four amateur groups
operating out of „London. Now enter-
ing its third season, the Follies pre-
sented a well -knit and smooth -run -
axing show that held the full atten-
tion of "the men fr"om the opening of
the curtain until the final number..
Practically every number was encor-
ed—some many times.
Commenting on the completeness
of the stage arrangements from light-
ing to dressing rooms, Mr. Tibbs stat-
ed that the Not, 31 Radio School the-
atre, was without doubt the cc st
equipped of any in which his show
diad played.
Squadron Leader ;Warrington ex-
pressed the appreciation of the school
for ,the show and hoped that the Fol-
lies would play a return engagement
in .the near future. Later the cast
was entertained to supper in the of-
ficers' mess. -
Now that the stage and theatre ie
completed, regular weekly shows are.
planned. This week the school will
present its own show, "Contact," un-
der- the direction of Squadron Leader
Warrington. ,

Labour Scarce
Forum Finds
The autumn series of Farm Radio
Forums continued with lneetings be-
ing held this week at the home of
Mr. Eldon Kerr, with an attendance
of 30, and at Mr. Wm. Oldfield's, with
36 present at the latter meeting.
George Campbell was convener of
the Kerr meeting, whUe, Con Eckert
officiated at the 09field. Forum.
Those Mentioned were leaders in dis-
cussions on the Subject, ."Men and
Machines."
Four questions were discussed dur-
ing the evening, namely: (1) Has the
'war caused a farm labor shortage in
l ouF community? Has 'the—refit' la-
bor shortage affected production?
(2) How many farmers in your dis-
trict are Using more machinery?
What kinds? (3) In• what way can
farmers act to, overcome the labor
Shortage? Should„ the Government
help? How? (4) What percentage of
1 hired labor and farmers' sons have
left your community for work in in-
dustry and for enlistment?
It was definitely established that
the war had caused a shortage= of
farmer labor, but that production was
not seriously curtailed due 'to unus-
ually good weather conditions during
harvesting operations. Also the labor
shortage was offset by the use of.
more power machinery, such as trac-
tors, combines—not that so much new
machinery was purchased, except to
replace old implements—but that a
gpod deal mere custom work than us-
ual was done by tractor •owners. Tt
was thought that the shortage of ta-
bor would affect production more in
the coming season.
As a means of overcoming the la-
bour ehortage, more co-operation
among neighbors was urged, and the
use of more machinery where It was
practical. Discussing government ac-
tion on this point, the forums did not
have sufficient time to give this mat-
ter serious thought, also complete
mobilization of all available labor,
such as high school students, retired
farmer's and other such groups, was
mentioned.
The percentage of farmer's sons
and hired help withdrawn from farms
in the district by industry and enlist-
ment was astonishing when a definite
survey was•rnade at the Kerr forum.
Of eight farmers- present who usual-
ly kept hired help the year round;
only one had 1t man as a steady em-
ployee, and the others not seeing any
prospect ofgetting more, than the oc-
casional day laborer. Many farmer's
sons had also left the district, '
After the discussions, those present
enjoyed group games and Community
singing, while a lunch of sandwiches
and tea was being prepared.
The next and concluding meetings
of the autumn series will discuss
"Home and Export Markets." Mac
Scott will be convener at a meeting
at his home on Monday evening, and
Graham Kerr will preside at a forum
at the home of 'Thomas Govendoek on
'Pnesday night. '
Mr. Thomas Beattie received an ir.-
teresting picture this • week of a-• Can-
adian corps serving in Scotland, and
in the, front row was •his brother,

Do you remember,•one year ago

call that during the first week of

years struck the district. Roads
were completely block from
Seaforth for two days and many
township roads for two weeks.
Despite day and night work by
highway plow crews, it was im-
possible to keep No. 8 Highway
