FURROW AND FALLOW By FAIRBAIRN Ontario egg producers are going ahead with their plans. for a mar- keting plan, and those of you who sell eggs may expect a call from one of your neighbors in the early fall with a petition. The annual meeting of what was then the On- tario Poultry Producers Associa- tion -.—now in the process of being officially changed to the Ontario Egg Producers—asked their execu- tive to proceed with the develop- ment of a play► before the next annual meeting. The first step is to circulate a petition and obtain the signatures of at least 15 per cent of all egg producers in the province requesting a plan. Then the details can be worked out and a vote of all producers on the pro- posed plan will decide whether it goes into effect—with the approv- al of the Farm Products Market- ing Board, of course. We understand that a brochure is being prepared, outlining the proposals contained in the report of the egg marketing committee, made public just before Christmas, so producers Who circulate the pe- tition can leave one when they call. Also, representations have been made to the provincial gov- ernment for changes in the Mar- keting Act to permit grading sta- tions to act as sub -agents for the proposed Egg Marketing Board. There is no indication yet whether amendments to the Act will be made but, at least, they are ap- parently being considered. We are not suggesting 'there is any significance ificance in this little 1 item of news, but the last meeting of directors of the egg producers took time out to have a look at the new teletype auction method of selling hogs. Naturally, any farm group considering a marketing plan would be interested i'n this most modern development in marketing farm produce—we hope to spend half a day watching it operate our- selves in the near future. There is nothing in the proposals of egg producers for a plan that envisages a similar method of sale—if there were they wouldn't have to ask for amendments to the Marketing Act. Nor are we suggesting the executive is considering it, but members are to be congratulated on overlooking no possibility in developing their plan. * * * Canadian farm writers recently criticized the Canada Department of Agriculture because it was not providing enough well-prepared in- formation on its policies and pro- grams. The farm writers think the CDA could do a much better job on the content andtiming of its releases, as well as giving farm people—and the general public— better coverage of farm market de- velopments, research findings and general consumer information. The government appointed Toronto newspaper editor, H. M.' Halliwell, to examine the information activi- ties of CDA, and the farm writers comment resulting from a survey of members of their national as- sociation, have been submitted to Mr. Halliwell.

Mrs. James Keys occupied the chair. The roll call was answered by, "How we should publicize our WI". The bus trip committee gave a report, but a date was not defin- itely set. The short course was set as millinery with moccassins as a second choice. A radio and TV paper of evaluation was filled out. This was the Public Relations meeting in charge of Mrs. Gordon Elliott and Mrs. Gordan Papple. Mrs. Papple opened the part with a poem, Harmony". Mrs., Elliott took the motto, "It is the song you sing and the -smile you wear that makes 'the sun shine everywhere." Mrs. Clifford Britton, the guest speaker, was introduced by Mrs. Elliott. She chose for her subject from the Book of Proverbs, on women, entitled "The Perfect Wom- an". Always follow the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", the spec- ial speaker said. Mrs. Gordon MacKenzie thanked the speaker for the inspiring mes- sage. Mrs. Eldon Kerr and Mrs. Ross Gordon gave the District An- nual report. These reports were fully covered.

Mrs. Harold Hugill gave the courtesy remarks, FOR BETTER t ' HEALTH Nommoi i 1 J By C. A. DEAN, M.D, MEDITORIAL: Mrs. 11. asked me to describe spina bifida occulta and its relation to low back pain. Since low back pain is so common a discussion of this spine abnor- mality is certainly in order. There are several types of spina bifida, of which s.b. occulta -is- the most common and the least dis- abling, The term spina bifida means a defect in the spine, in that part of the main nerve which is exposed or is protruding from the spinal canal. This latter type is very serious but fortunately, quite rare. Spina bifida is present at birth (congenital defect) and the cause is unknown. In spina bifida occulta, the de- fect in the spine is very small," sb small in fact that many go through life and never 'know • of its exist- ence. It is often found accidentally while the spine is being X-rayed for something else. Spina bifida occulta is located at the end of the lumbar spine (low back) where it meets the sacrum. Early in th' life of a child with spina bifida occulta, tight bands of skin attached to- the spinal cord through the defect may drag on the cord as th4 child grows. This could result .,in weakness of the legs. Usually, 'however, no symptoms are ever noted, with the one ex- ceptlbn of low .back, pain. Even though spina bifida occulta does not usually produce this trouble, it can at certain times, especially after an injury where the upper back is bent backwards and an exaggerated swayback (hyperex- tension) occurs. For example: sitting in a parked car which is struck from the rear. If spina bifida occulta produces low back pain, it can usually be treated successfully without an - operation. .FUNERALS.

ANNA ETUE Mrs. Anna (Denomme) Etue, 80, of Stanley Township, died Sunday at Scott Memorial Hospital, Sea - forth, after a lengthy illness. Widow of John B. Etue, she is survived by sons, Levi, Detroit; Maurice, Seaforth; Leonard, Te- cumseh; daughter, Mrs. A. Q. Per- kins, Detroit; brother, Frank, Chat- ham; sisters, Mrs. Marceline Cord-. veau, Hay Township; Mrs. Norman Huxley, Chatham; Mrs. Joseph Tanguay, Chatham; Mrs. Jean Hol - lock, Detroit, and Mrs. Kenneth Golden, Detroit; 14 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Resting at the Westlake Funeral Home, Zurich, Requiem High Mass was sung at 10 a.m. -in St. Peter's Church, St. Joseph. Make a hay probe if you put up tough hay, this year. Hal Wright, farm safety specialist at OAC, sug- gests using a piece of 1/2 -inch pipe 10 feet long. Drbp a thermometer on a string down the pipe and al- low enough time for an accurate reading before withgrawing it. If the hay gets up to 10 degrees F., watch it closely, and if it rises to 150 degrees F., better call in a pumper to wet it down; it's better to lose the hay than the barn and hay too. How to Treat an ACHING C BACK IC 'Qfi'�n�p-rvy�yp�.y�g p prys UYR'ON �;u►+ OSr Oi MarOa �O . , � 13 by W. W. Haysom your telephone manager Well, sunny days are with us once again: Ask thy gyerage citizen what he likes most about summer and ten to one he'll say its, outdoor living. More and more folks In Seaforth are spending as much of,thei.r leisure time as possible working In the garden, cook. on their barbecues or just relaxing out on their patios. You've probably found that once you're outside you hate to go back in the house and leave that crucial planting job in the garden or that big juicy steak you've just put on the bar- becue. But Ws often necessary to run in and answer the phone . unless, of course, you have an outdoor tele - telephone. Portable telephones, with outlets for garden or patio are becoming increasingly popular. We expect to install a number of them in Seaforth this summer. Why not give us a call at 200 arid ask about this convenient service. They're easy for us to install and you'll find the price is low. •- Speaking of summer reminds us of vacations and travel- ling. Have you ever driven along a highway at night looking for a place to stay, tired and weary after a long trip, and all you can see are "No Vac- ancy" signs? Frustrating, isn't it? It's probably happenedto all of us at some time or other. But, by simply phoning ahead we can be assured of adequate accommodation —more than likely choice accommodation at that. And here's another tip for happy travelling: what about a reassuring call to the folks back home to let them know you arrived safely? The telephone can help make your vacation a real success. Remember, rates are low. (A night call, station -to -station, covering about 200 miles can cost as little as 75 cents.) m a o Every year at this time we read of a great many drowning accidents that mar the carefree vacation season, All through the summer we see the unfortunate victims' names in the paper, sometimes we're saddened by a familiar name—it might be a father, a mother, or a child. ' It's a terrible tragedy and yet it is often quite unnecessary. Bell employees have been urged to learn as much about water safety as they cah: Many of our people have taken the St.John Ambulance course in artificial respiration and some have-, had to use it to -save a life. Its a blessing to be able to• save yourself from difficulty in the water; it's a double -blessing to be in a position to help someone else in time of trouble. The slogan, "Think before you thwim," is rather a poor play on words but it does carry an important mes- sage. Have fun this summer and come back refreshed . . . but remember, please come back., 74 WANT ADS BRING QUICK RESULTS Phone 141 fills feeds fits 20-, 24 - and 30 -ft. silos NEVER FIY A KITE o1*N IR -BORNE NObEL NEAR RO UWEI Loads -Unloads, cuts storage costs.
