CANADIAN FARMERS, if they resist panic selling, can an-
ticipate a bright future, Robert McCubbin, M.P., parliamentary
assistant to Rt. Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Federal Minister of Agri-
culture, told members of the Hu ron Bruce Holstein Breeders'
Association. The occasion was the annual picnic of the com-
bined associations at Lions Park here. Mr. McCubbin said in-
creasing domestic demand for all agricultural products reflect-
ed a buoyant Canadian ecoromy and a higher population.

Junior Farmers
At Eighth Annual
Church Service
Approximately 300 attended the
Baron County Junior Farmers
eighth annual interdenominational
.church service held in St. An-
drew's Presbyterian Church, Wing -
ham, Sunday evening:
Rev. Alexander Nimmo was
speaker and chose for his topic
e.. Breaking _ Vo of ...:Fallow
Ground." In speaking to the young
people, he stressed that, now was
the time to cultivate yourself and
get on the right foot. In a few
years it is not so easy—now is
lite time.
Those taking part in the service
were Catherine Campbell, Shirley
McMichael, Earl McSpadden, Boyd
Taylor, Mildred Ballantyne and
Lorne Hackett. Soloist was' Harry
Lear, of the Clinton Junior Farm-
ers, who sang, "The Altar of
Prayer," and the County Junior
Farmers choir, numbering 46, sang
"Bless the Lord, 0 My Soul" Har-
old Victor Pym was organist and
choirmaster.
Following the service all mem-
bers of the Junior Farmers and
Junior Institutes met in the church
basement where Rev. Nimmo, Mr.
Fyne and Mr. Lear were present-
ed with a small token of apprecia-
tion from the Junior Farmers and
.Junior Institute organizations.
Mrs. Howard Filsinger, Home
Economist for Huron County, who
is leaving with her husband for
Saskatchewan, was presented with
a trilight lamp and a pair of ear-
rings from the Junior Institute.
Miss Catherine Campbell read the
address and Miss Lois Jones made
the presentation.
The address was as follows:
Dear Mrs. Filsinger: The young
people of Huron County regret that
circumstances make it necessary
for you to sever your associations
with us as our Home Economist.
3n the year you have been with us
you have given us excellent lead-
ership in your quiet unassuming,
yet very effective, manner. Many
of us have bad the opportunity of
entertaining you in our homes
when you made your club visits
and it was always a pleasure. At
do time did you lose patience with
ons or scold us if our work was not
shat it e should -have been. Not
only we, the young people, but the
members of the Women's Insti-
tuets and club leaders appreciate
all your assistance ,and guidance
in their endeavour to build stand-
ards and create good citizenship
in this county. •
To you and your husband we
wish you the very best in the fin
tare wherever you may be. We
ask you to accept this gift of a
%amp for you to take to your new
Biome in Saskatchewan. May its
Iight be always as bright as the
lights you have left burning in the
Taves of the young people of Hur-
on County. Signed on behalf of
the Members of the Huron County
Junior Institute.
Mrs. Filsinger replied and intro-
duced the new Home Economist,
;Miss Shirley Bullock, a graduate
of Macdonald Institute, Guelph.

Dr District Storm
Organization . of a fund with
which to assist district residents,
wli suffered damage in recent
storms, was approved at a meet-
ings of civic officials and others
interested held here Monday eve-
ning. The meeting was:; called by
Huron Cbugity' Agricultural Re-,
presentative, G. W. Montgomery.
Damage, estimated to run ' as
high as $60,000, resulted follgwing
storms which cut a swath 'Through
Tuckersmith, ;McKillop and Hib-
bert Townships. About 30 resi-
dents are affected.
The meeting annoyed -the for-
mation of the Mcop, Tucker -
smith and "Hibbert Cyclone Fund,
and named E. P. Chesney, Tucker -
smith clerk -treasurer, to head the
organization. Others appointed
were Reeve Dan Beuermann, Mc-
Killop; Reeve James Doig, Tuck-
ersmith; Councillor Auguste Duch-
arme, Hibbert; James McQuaid,
McKillop assessor, and Councillor
Earl Mills, of McKillop. Andrew
Y. McLean, Seaforth, was named
secretary -treasurer.
The committee was instructed to
carry out a canvass of the three
townships concerned, which -it is
expected, will be done by local
itunits of the Federation of Agricul-
ure. Citizens of Seaforth and
other 'communities will be urged
to forward their donations directly
to the fund, or to district banks.
It is expected the campaign will
open August 1 and close August
18.
Among those attending the meet-
ing were district reeves and coun-
cil members, members of parlia-
ment, and owners of properties
that had been damaged.
Follow Bruce Lead
In explaining the purpose of the
meeting, Mr. Montgomery, who
acted as chairman, said that re-
presentations had been made to
him following publicity given a
similar meeting which had been
held in Bruce County- He felt it
not unreasonable that considera-
tion be given to a means whereby
ci % ens 4in the Seaforth district
d^ be aided because of the
damage which they had suffered.
He pointed out while it appeared
that '"damage Would amount to
60,000, • this was based on a pre-
minary survey and that this to -
al undoubtedly would be altered
y subsequent assessments.
He indicated it would not be pos-
ible for officials, who were pres-
ent, to give . a firm opinion as to
action that might be taken by
bodies on which they sat. He felt,
however, that the meeting could
discuss the situation in a general
way and quite possibly if it con-
sidered it advisable, form an or-
ganization.
Reeve Daniel Beuermann, of Mc-
Killop, said that he. of course, was
not in a position to indicate what
action his township coun.cil might
take, but if it was deemed neces-
sary a special meeting could be
held to consider the matter. Re-
calling the disastrous storm which
struck through, East Wawanosh,
Morris and Grey three years ago,
Reeve Beuermann said that at
that time the County, as a whole,
had made a donation. He didn't
know what action had been taken
by the townships that were involv-
ed. He appreciated that consider-
able difficulty, had existed in arriv-
ing
at an equitable solution to the
problem, since some who had suf-
fered damage needed help to a
greater extent than. others. Then, I
too, he said. the matter of insur-
ance must enter into the picture.
He agreed that everything possible
should be done to provide maxi-
mum assistance where it was
needed.
Mr. Montgomery told the meet-
ing that he had inquired as to the
action that had been, taken in 1
Bruce County, and the decision
there had been to establish a fund
and to solicit donations locally. It
was not reasonable to look for as-
sistance elsewhere if no action
was taken in the area where the
damage was suffered.
Recall 1953 Storm
Referring to the 1953 storm.
County Clerk A. H. Erskine. of
Goderich, said that at that time
the damage had extended over
four counties, in addition to the
City of Sarnia, and that the loss
as a whole was in excess of $1,-
000,000. The National Disaster
Fund had been brought into the
picture after it had been indicat-
ed by the Province of Ontario that
the storm was of a size that could
be considered of a national con-
cern. The loss in Huron at that
time -amounted i -to $235,000, which
was later reduced to $190,000 as a
result of the payment of insur-
ance.
Mr. Erskine said that donations
which had been received from lo-
cal sources and individuals,
amounted to $3,300. Huron Council
had contributed $10, and $4,500 had
come from a fund organized by
the City of London, and an addi-
tional $500 had come from a Wa-
terloo County fund., His in all
amounted to $18,300 and the Pro-
vinne had paid on a 50 per cent
basis, or $9,150. To this was add-
ed a federal contribution of $22,-
000. The total amount of the fend

ditional grants with municipal
councils in the area which the fair
serves, and have been endeavor-
ing to have grants increased- so
that there would be additional as-
sistance forthcoming to meet the
higher prize List. The board has
pointed out that once the Class 'B'
rating is reached, the additional
grants which will ,be received, will
offset the increased prizes, and
that then there will not be con-
tinuing requests for increased
municipal assistance..
The meeting was not in a. posi-
tion to make final decisions con-
cerning prizes in particular class-

sasjd that directors responsible for
particular departments are re-
viewing the prizes which have

Mr. McSpadden and vice-presi-
dent James M. Scott were named
a committee to co-ordinate the
returns by various departmental
heads as the basis for a recom-
mendation for a revised prize list

meeting within two weeks. It
was pointed out that this study

payment. At that time, Mr. Ers-
kine said, Huron County Council,
in making its contribution, had ex-
pressed the hope that farmers
would consider the necessity of
maintaining wind insurance in
view of similar castrophies that
might arise in the future, Mr. Ers-
kine estresesel athae.- fact . that he
was not si55`eaking on behalf of
County Council, but only as an
individual.
In 1953 it had been necessary to
include the four counties in order
to indicate that the damage was
of a nature that could be consid-
ered national in scope. His person-
al opinion was that there would be
difficulty in convincing either the
Province or the Dominion that the
storm damage of this year was in
an amount that could be consider-
ed of nation.al consequence.
Small Loss Serious
Reeve James Doig; of Tucker -
smith Township, told the meeting
that in his opinion a small loss
was just as great to an individual
as if a number of losses had been
involved. He asked Elston Cardiff,
M.P., who was at the meeting, if
amounts were set aside annually
by the Federal Government as a
means of, reinbursing the fund and
inquired as to what constituted the
fund and the sources of its money.
Mr. Cardiff told the meeting that
he didn't know,
Thomas Pryde, M.L.A,, who was
also present, said he understood
the National Fund was not sub-
Sidized, and that grants were not
made .by the government. He was
of the opinion it consisted of mon-
ies that had been donated by indi-
viduals, organizations and govern-
ments on the occasion of the Win-
nipeg disaster of some years ago
and which had not been required.
Reeve Doig told the meeting
that certainly some action should
be taken and lack of action would
reflect badly on the community.
He felt that if a committee was
formed, concerted efforts could
then lie taken.
Insofar as municipal contribu-
tions were concerned, he felt that
difficulties sometimes arose ' when
a canvass followed after a grant
had been- made a municipal body.
He felt a decision should be taken
with respect to whether the funds
would be raised by levy or on a
voluntary basis.
Mr. Pryde told of his desire to
be of assistance, and told the
meeting that he would bring the I
plight of those harmed to the at-
tention of the Province. But first,1
he warned, we must see what can
be done at home. There is no
point in going to Toronto or Ot-
tawa until we see what we are
prepared to do for ourselves.
In answer to a query, Mr. Mont-
gomery said that the indication of
the damage which had been given
to the meeting, was not basedon
replacement value, but was based
on estimates by individual owners.
The survey had been made by
Sandy Pepper and Wilson McCart-
ney. who had gladly given of their
time. Mr. Montgomery said.
Mr. Montgomery went on to tell
of a meeting that he attended in
the Auburn area as a result of a
hail storm on the night of July 13.
At that time he found 21 farmers
who had had substantial crop
osses. This was different. how-
ever,•he said. than the losses in
the Seaforth area. since a crop
was a one-year proposition. and
oss was never complete. In the
Seaforth case• the loss of buildings
meant that the farmer had diffi-
culty salvaging any of his crops.
Must Start At Rome
He told the meeting, as a result
of damage to a barn in his area, a
collection had been made in the
section and $800 raised for a new
roof. This would mean that it
would be difficult to go back to
that area for further donations,
Mr• Montgomery referred to the
damage which had occurred in
Hibbert Township, between Dublin
and Seaforth, and asked Tom Dor-
sey, one of those who had lost a
barn, to speak to the meeting.
Mr.' Dorsey said that he had suf-
fered the loss of his barn, but he
was , very thankful that the "storm
had not killed anybody., Others who
suffered damage, who"spoke brief-
ly, included ,Mr. Pepper and John
Harris, of oderich Township.
Mr. Harris said that his big dif-
ficulty was in obtaining cement
so that he could begin to rebuild
his barn. He wondered why there
was such a shortage of ` cement
when there seemed to be plenty
for highway or bridge construc-
tion. He needed 150 bags.
Jack Lane, who lost a barn
in McKillop Township, said that
there was cement available at St.
Marys if it could be indicated that
there were solid reasons for re-
quiring it. There was loose cement
if there were means of taking it
away.
Mr, Pryde said that he would
make inquiries to see whether
cement could be made available,
Shortages of Materials .
Mr. Erskine said there were
shortages three years ago and that
it had been found the suppliers
were most anxious to co-operate.
Morley Lannin. of Hibbert Town-
ship Council. discussed the situa-
tion that arose in that township
following a disastrous storm in De-
cember. 1944, After the damage
had been surveyed. contributions
were solicited and the money
which was raised, was distributed
to those who had suffered damage,
but not to those who were covered
by insurance. At that 'time, too,
there was a shortage in all essen-
tial materials, and the committee
discussed the matter with Senator
W. H. Golding• who was M.P. at
that time, and who, in turn, ar-
ranged for materials, such as
shingles, nails and cement, which.

Jury Finds
Death Accidental
A jury investigating the death
of Sgt. Wallace G. foster. of the ,
R.,C.A.F. Station, Centralia. July
13, reported Friday that his death
was accidental.
The jury foreman. Elgin Row-
cliffe, R.R. 1, Hensull, said the jury
verdict was that Foster had met
his' death in a motor accident July
13 on Highway 4• near Exeter.
From the evidence submitted, he
said the Foster car crossed the
white line of the highway, side -
Swiping a northbound car driven

that those in hip area had been so
good as to raise about $500' for
him. While this 'didn't by any
means cover his loss, he stressed - '
the fact that under no circum-
stances would he wish anybody to
be asked to contribute a second
time, insofar as he- was 'concerned'..
To Mr. Chesney, the important
thing was thatthere had been noN
loss of life, and he referred to the
emphasis that Mr. Dorsey had -
placed on this aspect. "We must
look at this in a broad way," Mr.
Chesney said. "We, in our own
municipality, can do something
for those of our people who have
been hurt. Not only are individuals
hurt. but we as a community, are '
hurt. We have lost assessment,
for one thing, and surely as a com-
munity we are big enough to help
ourselves right here at home."
John M. Eckert. Clerk of McKil-
lop Township, felt, too, that the
community should do everything it
could to help those who have suf-
fered and to insure that they are
rehabilitated. In his opinion, wind
damage frequently is worse than
damage caused by fire, since when
wind struck it generally. left its
I effect over a wide area, while, as
1a rule, fire was isolated to one in-
dividual.
