Farm Manager. Eight teams judged three classes of Jersey cattle and the competition was won by P. R. B. Megginson's team. Tea was very kindly provided by Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Sneesby in Kirk Hammerton. On 2nd December Mr. McAndry showed a film from the Yorkshire Farmers' Bacon Factory on pigs and the equipment needed for various aspects of pig farming. It also traced the life of the pig after it left the farm for the factory until it arrived on the table, both as bacon and pork, and as ingredients of pork pies. The final meeting of the term consisted of a fanning quiz and debate. The quiz was divided into a senior and junior competition, the former was won by R. D. Burdass and J. F. Middleton, and the latter by R. L. High and P. B. Burbidge. The subject of the debate was "This House considers there is a place for a horse on every farm". It was proposed by A. H. Sneesby and opposed by P. R. B. Megginson. The motion was carried by four votes. During the term we had to say goodbye to J. A. Stark. We wish him every success in his farming career and thank him for his work on the Committee.
C.C.F. NOTES Though there have been several changes over the past few years to the "training cycle", the Christmas Term is still the starting point for the main intake—this term the number of new recruits was over 80. Sgt. Pacey lost no time in organising the new Recruit Company. The Promotion List was, as usual, large, and it was very satisfactory to see so many of the camp appointments confirmed. Camp is still the initial testing ground for new N.C.Os, and this year we were fortunate to have such a promising collection. Many justified their selection in the course of the term's training. The R.A.F. Section supplied the Senior N.C.O., and it was not long before C.W.O. Johnson was setting a very high standard of turn-out and discipline throughout the whole unit. As a result of requests from the Houses a great effort was made at the beginning of term to provide sufficient locker accommodation in the C.C.F. Stores for all uniforms. After the provision of the furniture Sgt. Lewis undertook the difficult task of allocation. It took time and was working well by the end of term. Yet another labelling system is being tried out ! It can now be reported that the Section Stores are now complete Apart from the individual Service
and thoroughly re-organised.
