To Help Farmers Secure Hydro Service In Grey The Grey County Agricultural Committee will make several recom- mendations to the Ontario Minister of Agriculture following their meet- ing recently in Owen Sound.

As a refeult of this, the Committee will recommend that au- thority be granted to establish a body to work toward securing more hydro in the rural districts. Recom- mendations for "weed control," the improvement of hog. cattle and sheep breeding, and the labor shortage problem will be other matters brought up for their consideration.

Flesherton Creamery CEYLON Getting Around It? (Alliston Herald) The pres's has received from the Department of the Attorney -General for Ontario a memorandum that sets out in brief some details of the crim- inal code as i-elated' to lotteries, bings and raffles- The memorandum states that games of chance for prizes such as bungalos, autoimohiles, free trips, etc-, are contrary to the code and no person can give per- mission to conduct a lottery for 'such prizes- Raffles may be held for prizes of small value at any bazaar held for charitable or religious ob- ject, if permission from the author- ities is obtained- The articles to be raffled must first be offered for sale and must not exceed $50 in value. Charitable or religious organizations may operate bingos occasionally only, not on set datels advertised re- gularly, such as "Bingo Every Tues- dlay" No permission is required, but the organization holds a bingo on its own responsibility. The above means that the bingo games operat- ed by the Canadian Legion in Allis- ton are permissable, but cannot b« advertised in the paper. If The Herald should make reference to a public entertainiment being held at the Legion Club house, friendb of the veterans will have to construe what the announcement means, as we cannot say the boys are holding a bingo- But there is nothing to pre- vent the veterans holding a bingo night occasionally and friends of the branch can safely attend and take part in the games- Watch for other forms of announcement- Angus Avis, Manager Phone 66 FLESHERTON, Ontario Mr. and Mi-^.

Ont- 'aVSQ^^., % Adequate capacity to carry any probable load is of first Importance whether you are building a bridge or wiring your farm. It might appear that enough wiring to give you lights and a minimum of motor equipment would do for a start. Beware of falling into that mistake. It will only cause you needless expense and inconvenience later on. Electricity should be a worker as well as a con- venience on the farm. You will gradually discover many ways in which you can save time and money by using more electricity. When and if you decide to have an electric stove in the kitchen, a water heater in your home or dairy, or an extra motor some place or another, have the necessary wiring all done and ready right from the start. The most economical time to wire adequately is the first time you wire. Ask any reliable electrical contractor or your Hydro rural superintendent for advice on adequate wiring; You will always be glad that you did it right the first time. ASK YOUR HYDRO RURAL OFFICE FOR THE NEW FOLDER "HYDRO GOES TO WORK ON THE FARM'!
