to family
gathering
Over two hundred guests were
recently entertained by Edwih,
Krauter'at his beautiful suburban
home in Stamford, Conn., on the
occasion of his seventieth birth-
day.
Thirty-eight relatives and
friends travelled by bus to his
home to enjoy the festivities and
to honour him on this important
milestone in his interesting and
successful life.
Donald families of the Walton
The party included the Mc-
area, the Huether families of
Brussels and Cranbrook, the
Kreuter families of Brussels,
Ethel, Atwood, Listowel, Tor-
onto; his sister Mrs. Mary Er-
rington and Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Adams, of Goderich and Mrs.
Powell of Seaforth and several
friends from Ethel, Atwood and
brussels.
A bus tour around New
York City proved most interes-
ting.
The group' returned to Ethel

undefeated Turf Club remain that
way as they edged •out a deter-
mined Firemen's squad by a 10-4
. score.
The game opened with both
• teams scoring twice in the first
inning.. The Firemen then open-
ed up a 4 - 2 lead which they
held until the fifth inning when
the Turf evened the count , at
4 a piece. The sixth inning
proved the margin of difference
as the powerful bats of the horse-
men went to work and shoved
across six big runs while de-
fensively they held the smoke-
„eaters scoreless.
Jim Dick led the batters as

for the winners While Bob Wilson
pitched for ..the Firemen. The
victory now gives the Turf club'
a 1 - 0 lead in their series.
The late encounter involving
Series "C” was the big upset
as the Legion nine played an
exceptionally strong game to edge
out the " Mecha'nics by a 10 -6
count. , Joe Gillespie hurled for
the Legion putting in a very
strong game and backed by some
excellent fielding picked up the
victory. Eric Chuter suffered
the loss on the mound as the
motormen made several costly
miscues allowing the Legion the
advantage.
The Lions park was the scene
Of Series "B" and "D" and both
games provided plenty of batting
'power and lopsided ,scores. The
opener saw Mainstreet open a
1 - 0 lead ,in their series "B"
as they whipped the faultering
Village squad by a 18 - 4 mar-
gin. After a, scoreless first
inning the Mainstreeters opened
a 5 - 0 lead in the second and
built this up to 14 - 0 before
the Villagers hit the score-
board. "The Mainstreeters had
very little trouble as they banged
'out a total of 21 hits while the
Villagers managed only 10
safeties+,
Jack Price went the distance
for the winners while Rick Woods
suffered the loss.
The late game series "D"
also saw a wide open game as
the Teachers whipped the Texaco
nine by a 19 - 9 count. With
plenty of hits the game was high-
lighted by gran,d slam home runs
by Moe Huard for the lossers and,
Bill Weber for the winners. The
game remained close for the first
four innings as the margin of
difference was only 2 runs how-
ever the Teachers struck for 6
runs in the fifth and added 4
more in the sixth to put the game
out of reach. Ron Beuerman suff-
ered the loss while Bill Weber
and Howard James shared mound
duties for the Teachers,

"Actually they've never been
able to improve much on this
design.
Victoria County farmers are
talking about the gains their cattle
are making on the community
pasture in Eldon Township near
Hartley, and what they are saying
adds` up to an expected new high
in the pasture's use for the 1972
grazing season.
The Victoria County pasture
is one of eight community pasture ,
farms established through the
use of Agricultural Rehabilitation
and Development Administration
funds in Ontario. These farms,
were intended to supply a de-,
pendable source -of pasture for
beef and dairy farmers whose
farms were not large enough to
accommodate the number of
animals required to produce a
desirable'income level.
The 2,150 acres of land now
making up the Victoria County
ARDA pasture is not yet fully
developed, but it provided good
pasture in 1971 for 322 heifers
and 238 steers from 50 nearby
farms. The steers gained an
average of 251 pounds, while the
heifers gained 210 pounds.
Lloyd G. Bell, R.R. 4,
Omemee
'
had the top gaining
group of steers. His 12 head
of crossbred herefords gained an
average of 353 pounds at a cost
of only 10 cents a pound. The
difference between what the gain
cost him, arid what he can sell
it for, will pay his taxes, Mr.
Bell claims. "The pasture
worked perfectly for me. I
needed more pasture for the
steers so I could grown corn
at home to finish them. It
sure is great to be able to
forget about them all summer
and get a gain like thati"
Another ARDA pasture user
is Bert Vandenberg, R.R. #2 ,
Oakwood. He is one Of several
dairymen using - the Victoria
County farm as a reliable source
of summer feed for good pure-
bred as well 'as grade heifers.
The Vandenberg herd pro-
duces quota milk as well as sur-
plus livestock for sale. • It is
important to-have the young stock
well grown and it is more im-
portant to have full control over
freshening dates. Vandenberg
Seaforth Greens saw the
largest turnout in years on Mon-
day, Sept. 4th; at the mixed
pairs watch tournament.
'Under sunny- skies the after-
noon program got under way with
all taking part in a spider, the
proceeds of which will be sent,
to the benevolent fund. Winner
of the spider was Mrs. Beth Sh-
elton of Woodstock.
Taking first place in the
tournament and receiving
watches were George and Jean
Fuller of Ingersoll with 3w plus
22 agg. 52. Also winning watches
and being a close second were
Huron and Jean Wintermute of
Aylmer with 3w plus 19 agg.54.
3rd - Jack and Janet McIntosh
of Woostock with 3w plus 15,
agg. 43; 4th Bert and Jean

plies the protein for growth;
good fences, constantly super-
vised by the farm manager,
assure the .consignors that their
heifers will be 'ready for breed-
ing "when they come 'home in
NOvember. •
Vandenberg's 12 heifers
gained only an average of 141
pounds during the summer but
he attribUtes " this partly to the
fact that his young stock were
in a warm barn all winter and
received a little more feed than
the average heifer, and partly to
(the fact that the late date of
the roundup resulted in a loss
in weight. The weight was quick-
ly recovered once the heifers,
were brought home.
Vandenberg has used the
ARDA pasture farm for the past
two years. He commented, "The
heifers I pastured in 1970 are
freshening now. They are well
grown and I. expect them to help
me increase my herd average
next year It was a pleasure to
visit the pasture farm's on Sun-
day ,afternoons, to ,see the heifers
doing well, and know that they are
getting all the mineral they need.
I plan to continue to use the
ARDA farm."
Vandenberg's herd averages Just over 13,500 pounds of milk
per cow.

weigh scales credit for improve-
ment in his herd. Here's bin'
story:
Mr. Louden's first consign-
ments were made in 1966, when
the charges for pasture were
flat rates., When in 1968 a weigh
scale was installed at the pasture
farm, he was well pleased with
the average gain of 236 pounds
made by his group of cross-
bred steers.
The next year he switched
to heifers. Much to his dis-
appointment, their average gains
were only 181 pounds in 1969
'and 193• pounds in 1970. Some
serious thinking resulted in a
change of herd sire, even though
he was a tested sire with a
rate' of gain of 2.6 pounds per
day. With a little more money
Mr. Louden bought another Here-
ford bull, one with a better gain--
3.4 pounds per day.
The new bull's first crop of
calves went to pasture last
summer and they came up with
an average gain of 307 pounds
over the season. A vast im-
provement!
Mr. Louden's comment:
"Without access to a weigh scale,
I would probably still be using
a poor sire, without realizing that
faster gains could be made by
offspring from faster gaining
sires.- The herd sire change is
making me money. I'm serious-
ly considering getting a. portable
scale to be able to check on my
calves, even though I• intend to
keep uying the best bull I can
`get." .
ibly for an even bigger tourn-
ament next year as several en-
tries had to be turned down
this year. The ladies-of the club
aerved lunch between the first and
second games which all enjoyed.
Last Thursday evening saw a
good turnout at the jitney, winn-
ers were for the ladies Betty
Tilley with 2w plus 15 with Katie
Phillips second with 2w plus 14.
For the men it was, first George
Hildebrand with 2w plus 20 with
Hugh Thompson second with 2w
plus 3.
Thursday evening last week
saw Jack and Donna Patterson
take 1st prize at St. Marys at
their electrical tournament.
Several ladies from our club
hope to go to Goderich on Wed-
nesday to their ladies tournament
There will also be a Men's
doubles in Mitchell the same day.
Coming up on Thursday even=
ing will be our own local tourna-
ment bowling for the Soole trophy.
Please have your name in by
seven o'clock so a draw can
be made ready.
Some of our men bowlers hope
to take part in Hanover on Sat-
urday at their M & M tourna-
ment. Good bowling to all.
