Remember November of 1913?
Warm Days Then, Omen of Storm

Persons have been commenting
on the .extremely waren weather
welve been enjoying this year, and
certainly these sunshine days were
what some folks would call "pet" on November 19. The water had
looked very inviting and we were
amazed, and not a little shocked,
to hear that our dignified cousin
had shed his clothes and enjoyed
a swim in his birthday suit in
Lake Huron that day.
In conversation with E. A. West-
lake, he told us that he recalled
ploughing in the first week of De.
cember in 1913. Light showers fell
that day but it was almost too
warm to work the horses.
And Christmas Day 1911 was Si)
balmy that we played outside with
our sweater coats open. We re-
member that year for Santa

red to delight the heart of a little
girl! And buggies were up to the
hub in mud on the Clinton road
which did not delight the heart of
travellers—nor the country doctor.

days. The younger folk ask:
"Were there ever such warm days
in November before?" Yes, young-
sters, there were!
We cannot be sure of the year
but we think that it was in 1913
that extremely mild weather fol-
lowed the great storm of Novem-
ber 9. (Will we ever forget going
home from church in the darkness
on that night? Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Edwards and Floy were blown a-
gainst Captain 3. A. Ferguson's
fence — and they hung on until
a lull in the gale allowed them to
get their bearings. Our family
was farther over in Clan Gregor
Square, hanging on to each other
as we braced ourselves and stood
with our backs to the wind at
intervals before inching forward.

Jamieson. Thirty-two were pres-
ent. At the close of the business
session, members divided into four
groups to discuss the topic of the
evening "The Challenge of Dairy
Substitutes."

the discussion, and a lively talk
took place. Later a recreation
period was held with. euchre be-
ing played, and a lovely lunch was
served. Winners at euchre were:
Mrs. James Howatt, Mrs. George
Hoggarth, George Carter and Mrs.
J. Tebbutt. The next meeting will

THE NINERS
Members of "The Niners" farm
Forum group met at the home of
Elliott Lapp, this week, to discuss
"The Challenge of Dairy Substi-
tutes", with 16 present.
Decisions reached under the
leadership of E. Lapp were: if
dairying were seriously hurt by
the use of imitation dairy products
it would cause a greater surplus,
hut the forum did not think the
imitations are taking the place of
the real thing, and they can only
be a threat if the dairy people do
not meet the challenge. It is im-

possible to get milk from soy
beans and such. In the cities the
consumers speak as if they can-
not afford to buy butter but due
to the wide spread in the price
the farmer gets, and the price the
consumer pays, their ideas of
farming are far from accurate.
The forum was in favour of ad-
vertising so that city dwellers can
get a true picture of the farmers'
problems. The members also
thought the Ontario government
should act to curb the importation
of edible oils so as to give the
Canadian farmer a chance to meet
the demand for them. At the
same time the surplus dairy pro-
ducts would fill in when the edible
oil stocks produced in Canada are
not sufficient to meet the demand
for them.
