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. A ROUSE LARGE OR SMALL OUR SERVICE WILL THOROUGHLY SUIT YOU ONE AND ALL I weekend. Guests of Mrs. Jack Tillman at a houseparty at her cottage for the weekend were: Mrs. Kenneth Lawton, Mrs. Richard Henry, Mrs. Gros. Robinson, Mrs. K. D. Sutherland, London.

Kathleen McLeod, eldest dau- ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McLeod, Kingsville, is one of four girls from. that District High School who won bursaries of $250 each to attend Teachers College. Miss MacLeod' is at- tending London Teacher's Col- lege. Hugh MacLeod is well-known here having lived with his un- cle, the late L. H. D. MacLeod, in Bayfield from the time he was a small boy (owing to the death of his father, Dan Mac- Leod, Port Dover) until he was out on his own. His wife is the former Doris Nicholl, Clinton. The Rev. E. J. B. Harrison was in Brussels an Friday ev- ening for the induction of the Rev. Harry L. Jennings as rec- tor of St. John's Church.

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. Country Correspondence Despatch rider G. A. Best, Halifax, delivers the weekly copy for "The Watchword" from The Black Watch (RFIR) to Capt. "Jim" Mitchell, editor of The Beaver. (Photo by J. A.

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 seat. Now you can stand all your shop- ping bags upright under the hood. Or take a amity vacation With all your luggage neatly packed away, The Volkswagen is constantly being 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 Volkswagen dealer's tonight( a. 4111.11111•011=1 ,111111MW FARMERS We are shipping cattle every Monday for United Co-operative of Ontario and solicit your patronage.
