On the one side, and what is possibly a minority, are those who are against, and for that matter have in the past been ,against any farm marketing scheme, and who are fighting bitterly to have this particular vote be unsuc- cessful for organized farmers. The tactics used seem not always to be above reproach, although In some instances they make points which ex- press some defects in the operation of the pres- ent plan. On the other side, are those who liken the results possible with organized marketing to the promised land. They compare the sit- uation in which farmers find themselves now, to the situation when the Israelites Were led by Moses to the promised land, and scouts were sent on ahead to bring back a report. Ten of them brought back unfavourable stories. The other two told of a land "flowing with milk and honey" but the Israelites put their faith in the ten, and were forced to spend another 40 years in •the wilderness, Supporters of the scheme suggest that a "no" vote on Friday will just postpone for the farmers the advantages which could be theirs sooner. Certainly it is obvious to those who have been aware of the progress made by farm or- ganized groups, that the Hog Producers As- sociation has gone farther along the road of complete control of their product than any other producers organization so far. They have had to blaze a trail, and no doubt they have made some wrong turns, It would appear to be very unfortunate if they, and the product of their endeavour "The Hog Producers Marketing Board" should come to defeat now. It would probably mean a set back in all of the planning going forward in farm groups. NEWSPAPER ADS PAY (The Enterprise, Yorkton, Sask.) It is no overstatement to say that hardly a day passes without some striking tribute to, or recognition of, the highly practical value of newspaper advertising, Newspapers continue to be the biggest selling media in the world today. This is so whether the community or communities concern- ed be large or small. It is to the newspapers above all other advertising outlets, whether it NOT UP TO DATE WE NOTE THAT the Highways of Ontario —and probably of Canada, for that matters, are still known as King's Highways. Just for a matter of conjecture—Why were they not changed to Queen's Highway at the time Queen Elizabeth II first assumed the throne? Of course the expense of changing the name on all the signs would be impossible all at one time — but the signs do have to be renewed from time to time — and people would understand if the change took even years to complete. Again for conjecture—Was this part of the same type of thinking which seemed prevalent a few years ago, when the surprising move was toward dropping the name of Dominion from Canadian nomenclature? It seems hardly pos- sible—there must be a better reason. be magazine, radio, or anything else, that bus- iness houses turn to in pushing the sale of their products. Newspapers appeal and succeed as adver- tising media because they are an integral part of family life. They are a written, permanent daily record in practically every home. If one isn't just sure of what is contained in a news- paper, whether in the form of news or advertis- ing, the newspaper usually is still available for a reconsultation. It isn't a fly-by-night thing that leaves but a blurred and indistinct record behind. TODAY Look well to this one day, For it, and it alone, is life. In the brief course of this one day Lie all the verities and realities of your existence. The joy of growth, the splendor of beauty, The glory of action. Yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision; But today well lived makes every yester- day a dream of happiness— And each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this one day, For it, and it alone, is Life, Such is the salutation of the dawn. —Translated from the Sanskrit Tou can convert-1 rour Victory Bons* Immediately at any branch of . . :MY BAH' TO 2 NIIIION CANADIANS itida tekike...iinmediate cash' Your Mast liranc.h of the Bank of Montreal is 'tax , 110tv to give you prompt service in converting your Victor)" ' Bonds into the non-callable Canada Conversion Loan OA If you hold unmatured 3%, Victory Bonds, Lee your nearest B of M branch today and capitalize on this tremendous opportunity.

Mr. Weymouth is 'a native of Devonshire, Engearid, coming to this country about 67 years' ago and has' lived in Hui- lett 64 of these years. In 1861 'he settled upon the farm on the 8th concession, now worked by his son, Charles Weymouth, 'which has ever since continued to be his home. It was the faithful, unre- mitting toil of the' hardy pioneers which made this' country what it is today and in the evening of their fives they :deserve 'the very best that the .country affords. J. Johnston, Varna, who recent- ly sad his fine farm to Dr. Mof- fatt, London, has purchased G. A. Bradshaw's. residence on Mary Street, Clinton. W. A, Crich, Seale/1h, has been appointed inspector of bakeries for this district. Mr. Crich is a bro- ther of Mrs, H, Fowler, Clinton, and for a short time was head baker at Barthel's. Great strides have been made in the twentieth century toward the conquering of disease, One after another, typhoid, smallpox, diptheeia -and whooping cough have been knocked on, the head. Polio is pretty well licked. And the medical' 'boffins are hot on the trail of cancer. * That's why it's so discouraging to realize that while today's med- icine-men have had their noses glued' to a test-tube, a little virus that at first seemed' harmless, has sneaked around behind them, spread with the stealth of spilled maple syrup, and 'is 'now resulting in an, epidemic of appalling pro- portions. Worse still, there is no drug that will kill it, •for it is not a physical ailment, but a mental aberration. Already this highly contagious mania has hit se many people that it's not (likely any- thing will stop its ravages of the race except the radio-active fall- out that will stop everything one of these days. Its symptoms are unmistakeable, its victims easily discerned. When under an attack, they Will: sud- denly leave work in the middle of the afternoon; miss the fimerale of close relatives; skip meals, though they love their victuals; desert their loved ones at all sorts of odd houree inexplicably recover from pain or illness that would have them moaning in bed, in the winter, Oh, yea this, disease is most prevalent m eummer, as polio was. s4, The wretched victims in the lat- ter stages of the disease may be easily dietingnished from the' lucky people who have not been :af- fected. They may be found, in vast numbers', wandering over hill and dale in all sorts of weather, with sticks In, their hands, smash- ing at the ighourid, and occasion- ally striking viciously a harmless blob of white which they pursue relentlessly and blasphemously. * This mental illn.ess to which. I refer, of course, is that ancient and honourable state el mind —. it's not a game, and don't ever think it is — golf. • Don't snort, 'gentle reader. Per- baps you have thug 'far escaped the anaconda coils of this serpent- like sport, 'but you're not safe un- less you're over 90, bed-ridden, and the relatives are sitting a- round wishing you'd hurry up and die so they 'could get out and hit a few.

Baal Brothers, 'comprising two ;brothers Douglas G. 'and William N. sons •ot Mrs. Ball and the late Nelson Ball, Clinton, successfully carried on the hardware, furniture and undertaking business, with which their father was for so many years associated, since the retirement 'in January, 1946, of John J. Zapfe. At this time; Wil- liam N. Ball retires from the firm. The new partner, William 3. Mul- ch, is' no stranger in the business or in the town, having lived here all his life. His father, the late Frederick Mutch, was for many years in charge of the hardware department of this store. With Len Johnston starting his first game as a starting pitcher, Clinton Colts defeated Dashwood in a scheduled Huron-Perth Inter- mediate "C" 'baseball match Mon day night by 13-5. p easy, Played' whiff three boles yesterday. make whuff nine tomorrow." * * * Golf used to be a game for rich people and a few professionals, It was associated with country clubs, snobbery and social climbing. But something has happened 'in the last decade, and we rabble have stormed the barricades and infil- trated the fairways. Go out to a course any day and you'll see a .butcher and a 'baker, a printer and a preacher, a hairdresser and a hotel-keeper, hurling themselves with unanimous vigour and inac- curacy in the general direction of the bouncy little fiend or a bah. * * Old ladies who should be home knitting 'garments for grandchild- ren sweat 'happily around the course, hacking 'divots; as big as 'dishpan's. Attractive young wo- men, who Should be sitting around at a beach or bar, just looking beautiful, potter languidly about in long, tanned legs ,and short, tight shorts. Thereby wrecking the concentration of old codgers, who are distracted into slicing $1,50 balls into the rough, after spend- ing $300 in lessons to get rid of that slice. , , * 'K y. Oh, I know.
