Mr. and Mrs. Eric E. Anderson are shown here after their
recent marriage in the United Church,' Winthrop. The bride is
the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James McClure, McKilloP-
Her husband is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Anderson,
Hullett township.
Annual. Meeting
the more important projects under-
taken by the branch during the
past year, mentioned the bus trip
to the annual convention in Toron-
to; the Seed Fair at Clinton; the
Grass Land Day in Seaforth; the
twilight meeting, and a bus trip to
Kent County. He thanked the di-
rectors for their co-operation dur-
ing the year.
Lack Soils Knowledge
The secretary -treasurer, G. W.
Montgomery, agricultural represen-
tative for Huron County, -stated
that total receipts of $3,060, and
total expenditures of $2,851, with
two outstanding cheque,s left a
bank balance 'as of October 31, this
year, of $204. Grants to date this
year were $100, he said, and there
will be.more coming in for projects
sponsored during the year.
"We are far behind with the
knowledge of our soilscompared
with livestock," said the agricul-
tural representative. "I'd venture
to say that if farmers were to
judge a class of dairy or (beef cat-
tle, the Y would do an excellent job,
whereas not many. in fact very
few, could judge soil." He told of
the township meetings promoted by
the Cou'nty Federation of Agricul-
ture and the Department of Agri-
culture office to acquaint farmers
with the free soil -testing service
provided by the Ontario Agricul-
tural College, Guelph.
Praise For Branch
Robert MCKercher, R.R. 1, Dub-
lin. president oftheHuron County
Federation of Agriculture, in ad-
dressing the meeting, briefly com-
mented on the soil maps. He re-
ferred to the bran.oh as one of
the "better" organizations of the
county—one in which members do
much of the work themselves; the
organization is not, as it were
"spoon fed" by agricultural repre-
sentatives. •
John Butler, assistant agricul
tural 'representative for the comi-
ty, spoke on the three grain clubs,
Exeter, MeKillop and ,, Howick,
which had 96 per cent completion
in projects.
"It was significant that we had
four varieties of oats in the three
clubs," he said, adding that there
was disappointment that more boys
had not exhibited at the Seed Fair
in March. "This year as more prize
money will . be given, we expect
that more boys will participate."
All Faianers Members
Harry Strang, Hensall, the first
president of the county, branch and
a -present executive member on the
Ontario Association, voiced his ap-
preciation at representing Huron,
Perth and Bruce counties. He re -
Marked on the set-up of member-
ship as outlined by the provincial
constitution. "Here in Huron coun-
ty, all farmers are members of the
branch, with the county giving a
grant, while the consti.tution rules
that each branch have a aiinimum
number of members with a fixed
fee for each." - '
A ieed-drill survey conducted in
Huron county in 1952 showed that
there has been some improvement
in four years in the quality and
purity of seed used on Huron
farms, said Charles Kingsbury,
Guelph, -fieldman. for the crops,
weeds and seeds branch. of the
Ontario Department of Agriculture.
The survey showed, however, said
Mr. Kingsbury, that there Is still
room for a great deal of imProve-
ment in the seed being used on
typical farms in Huron. The aye*,
age quality of seed used in Huron
in 1952, he warned, was- slightly
worse than the average for the
province.
• Poor Seed Sampled
Sixty-one samples were taken
straight from the seed drilla, in the
1g52 survey in Huron, Mr. Kings-
bury explained. Of these samples,
only 27 were found to grade No'. 1,
while live samples were- of No.' 2
quality, laawere No. 3, and 17 were
not clean enough to qualify for
third grade.
Mr. Kingsbury gave credit to W.
R.,Deligall, Hensall, wale Made the
survey in Huron, for a careful and
representative -selection of sam-
ples..

implications go a whole lot farther
than Old Mother Hubbard; or silly
notions for dogs. Here we have
another version of the exploitation
of the sacred feast of Christmas,
which was—re.menthera—originally
marked as a apecial day because it
was the -birth of the Saviour of the
World.
' Today, as everybody knows, that
is old stuff which most of us don't
pay much attention to at all. To-
day, Christmas is the biggest. cele-
bration of the year devoted to the
cult of keeping-up-with-the-Joneses.
This year we •.will have a -bigger
tree, a fatter turkey, more elabor-
ate cards, more expensive and more
useless gifts. All this will be at-
tempted in aid of fatter .purses for
the traders and more prestige for
the buyers.
Will it really make you more iltt-
p or tagt to buy your dog a 15added,
radiant -heated dog-liouse?
Well, apparently a lot of People
seem to think so.
You know, when Miss Dorn
started her de luxe shop, she was
horrified because, as she said, "cus-
tomers who wandered into the pet
shop actually laughed."
They don't laugh now. They
buy.
They must have the real Christ-
mas spirit, I guess.
N. Huron Women Teachers
Hear G. N. Edwards Here
G. N. Edwards, Stratford, inspec-
tor of Public Schools for South
Perth, was guest speaker at a ban-
quet of the North Huron Women
Teachers' Federation held, in the
parish hall of St. Thomas' Church,
Seaforth, recently. Fifty-one teach-
ers were present from all parts of
the inspectorate.
Mrs. Agnes Mason, Seaforth,
president, presided. Thanks to the
ladies of the church was expressed
by Mrs, J. A. MacDonald and -re-
plied to -by Mrs. J. R. Spittal, and
thanks to the church for the use
of the hall was tendered by Mrs.
Norma Sills. In his re -ply, Rev. W.
A .Jones spoke of the important
place a teacher has in- the life of
a child.
Seventh Year in Huron

Mason said this was the seventh
year of the Women Teachers' Fed-
eration in Huron' and she had been
president for four years.

Parent-Teacher Relations
Mr. Edwards regards teacher -
parent relations as, important and
suggested that two conferences be-
tween teacher and each parent dur-
ing the year was ideal, one in Sep-
tember and another in February or
March. Ls the past the home has
been exchlded from the school to
too great an extent, the believed.
A new report card for Stratford
and Perth schools was shown. It
is based on the new report card
adopted for Toronto schools and
the teachers were favorably im-
pressed by the new card he report-
ed'.
Thanks to Mr. Edwards for his
address was given by Miss S. I.
'McLean and Miss Johns, Wingham.
Two solos were sung by Mr. a R.
