SEVENTH INSWAIWENT
News of Bayfield
By MISS LUCY WOODS
PHONE BAYFIELD 45r3
SOEST, West Germany —
Our story this week will inter-
est our publishers of weekly
newspapers and, we hope, our
readers. We visited "The Bea-
ver", the weekly newspaper of
the 4th Canadian Infantry Bri-
gade Group, and for once since
arriving here we found our-
selves In our own element.
We sat in the editorial office
at Headquarters, and we went
downtown to the Soest.er An-
zeiger where Herr Jahn prints
the Beaver, We revelled in the
smell of ink and the clatter of
the Linotypes and presses.
The Beaver had its beginning
in the Welfare News, published
in the early days by Herr Here
bert Hertrarapf. Working with
the Welfare Officer, he devised
the idea to acquaint the new-
comers of services available,
theatres, radio and churches.
In May 1957, Brigadier Roger
Rowley assented to the estab-
lishment of the weekly news-
paper, and in the first issue
appealed for the fullest co-op-
eration. The Beaver took on
like wildfire
As the Canadian weekly mir-
rors its town, The Beaver has
carried that tradition in its
service to the Canadian service
man and his family in a foreign
land.
Capt, "Jim" Mitchell of the
Queen's Own Rifles, a, former
infantryman with the Winnipeg
Rifles, is editor. His home
background (and his pipe) fit-
ted him for the job, In. Win-
nipeg he wrote up the junior
basketball and hockey leagues
with which he was associated,
and also the Manitoba Young
Liberals of whom he was vice-
president. In fact, he said, he
was in the Tribune office so
much that most of the employ-
ees looked upon him as a mem,
ber of the staff,
The second senior man next
to Herr Hertampf, in terms of
service with The Beaver, is a
Scotsman whose life story mak-
es a thrilling tale,
Dick O'Neill of Hamilton,
Scotland, served in Montgom-
ery's old regiment, went thr-
ough Dunkirk, met the Canad-
ians first at Falaise, secondly
at a detention camp, served
at the war crimes trials, and
was a WO II at the Weal
prison, near here, where the
German prisoners were im-
pounded, including Kurt Meyer.
Dick is a civilian employee
of the brigade, and his fluent
German makes him a valued
member of The Beaver, espec-
ially as advertising manager.
The other two employees are
two German girls who speak
excellent English. Ruth Held
is Capt. Mitchell's "right hand
man" at the editorial office
and looks after the births col-
Lunn, an important section of
The Beaver. Renate Milbradt
assists with proofreading and
writes "The Women's World".
Last week she told the Canad-
ian wives "It's Beer that Makes
your Thirst A Pleasure." Beer
is universal in Germany, and
an old proverb says that a
glass of beer a day is good
for health and complexion. Can
you housewives imagine Beer
Soup — Homemade Style?
The set up of The Beaver
is very much like our own
weeklies, They have unit cor-
respondents who take the place
of. our country correspondents.
Regular features include "Com-
munity News" of Hemer, Werl
and Soest, where the Perman-
ent Married Quarters are lo-
Mrs, J. Pease and Ervine,
London, spent the weekend at
their cottage,
Misses Grace Woolfenden and
Miss Colley Detroit, spent the
weekend at the former's cot-
tage.
Mr. and Mrs. George Bell-
chamber, Nigel and Niel, spent
Sunday with Mr. and Mrs.
Douglas Carswell, Waterloo.
Mr ,and Mrs. James Fisher,
Larry and Frank, Kitchener,
were at their cottage for the
toted; The Sportlight, "Gun-
ner's Salvo", radio programs of
Canadian „Army •- Europe and
British Forces Network, Church
Directory, Hussar Highlights,
Sapper News, "Jimmy's Jot-
ting", cinema programs at the
several Forts, The Watchword
(Black Watch), "The Watch-
dog Beat" (Provost Corps),
camera, legal and travel col-
umns, and news from back
home.
Advertising runs from local
car dealers (who do a land of-
fice business with the Canad-
ians) to camera dealers (who
likewise love the Canadians),
sports equipment, national ads,
the Bank of Montreal with bran-
ches in 'the three communities,
and a full page ad from Maple
Leaf Services which parallels
the chain store.
The Beaver is printed in the
shop of Soest's daily newspap-
er. If weekly publishers in Can-
ada think they have troubles,
not one of those Linotype op-
erators knows any English, nor
compositors, nor pressmen! Pr-
inter's measures are in centi-
meters, and German terms are
used in proofreading and copy
marking.
It was a wonderful after-
noon, and we left wishing
"Jim" Mitchell and his staff
continued success.

As the month of September
draws to a close, no doubt
many poultry producers are
wondering if there will be an-
other deficiency 'payment com-
ing to them some time in the
next six months. In fact until
just the other day at least one
poultry producer was Wonder-
ing whether he was' going to,
gee a< deficiency payment for
last January-March period.
However the payment finally
arrived and the secretary at
the egg-grading station is now
in the clear.
Prospects for the deficiency
payment after the year end of
September 30 are becoming
quite dim, As of September 3
the estimated weighted average
price for A large was 29.7c.
With the support price at 33c
this would seem to indicate a
deficiency payment of 3.3c.
However, whether you under-
stood it or not the government
stated that the January-Maxch
payment was an interim pay-
ment and would be used to
equalize any further payment
for the rest of the year,
The payment of eight cents
at that time equals 2c for the
whole year, :therefore the sup-
port price now is really 31c,
This' still leaves a possible pay-
ment of 1.3c but with prices
continuing well above the sup-
port price throughout Septem-
ber, the weighted average price
is expected to be only a frac-
tion of a cent below the sup-
port price if any.
In any case the cost of send-
ing out cheques would be too
great and it is expected that
any 'deficiency payment will
simply be held as a credit Un-,
tit future payment is justified,
I was interested to gee in the
Ottawa report a statement to
the effect that Mr. Harkness'$
deficiency payment plan had
proved quite successful in,
creasing price and reducing sur-
pluses. This is true, but there
are other results to to consid-
ered.
The reason that prices are LIP
and surpluses are down is be-
cause of reduced production.
This simply means that some
producers of eggs and hogs
have been killed off. The meth-
od is effective but I still have
grave doubt that this cure was
desirable or necessary.
Our manufacturing industry,
with apparent approval of
government, has tried this me-
thod through tariff restrictions
and the result has been the Im-
portation of •a great many art-
icles that could very well be
manufactured in Canada.
If too many poultry and hog
producers are killed off we can
look forward to eating import-
ed eggs and pork In many
cases this will also mean a
poorer quality product.
In reply to a letter to one
of the county papers regarding
the colouring of margarine, my
answer is still the same. Let
it be coloured any colour ex-
cept to imitate butter. Then we
will know we are eating it and
enjoy it accordingly.

First of all, there's 10% more power to
play with. Now the Volkswagen leaps
away from lights! Increased torque means
more reserve power in every gear for
safer passing. But although the engine's
stepped-up to 40 horsepower, it's still
as easy on the gas as ever.
And there's the synchronized first gear.
You no longer have to stop the car
to change down to first. From second
gear, you can shift down smartly into
first—and whip away. And all the gear
ratios have been changed to take ad-
vantage of the new engine performance.
The luggage space is bigger. There's
now ten cubic feet. A full 5 up
front and another 5 behind the back

How to recognize the new VW
improved. Unless you drive the new
Volkswagen (or know what to look for/
you can't tell it from last year's model.
Or the one before that. Or the one be-
fore that. In fact, since 1948 no less than
nine hundred improvements have been
made to this remarkable car yet it still
remains basically, the same. That's why
the VW retains its value. The Volks-
wagen is an honest product. While there
are other improvements in the new VW,
it is Volkswagen's philosophy not to
change for the sake of change but to
search continually for new ways to im-
prove a great idea.
Some of these improvements in the De
Luxe Volkswagen are also in the Custom
model. Whichever you buy, we think
you get the best car value in the world.
There's so much to say about the new
VW why not get it first hand at your
