Yes this could be very true and may apply to your herd if you've
them well during the winter months.
PASTURE IS THE LOWEST COST FEED for dairy cattle
and one of the best, but don't be misled. Pastures are
high in Protein but low in Carbohydrates and Energy.
(The most important single need of dairy cows) SHUR-
GAIN Pasture Dairy Ration is high in Carbohydrates
and thus provides the energy locking in new lush
pasture.

Cut down to size in this grim
pattern of power, we must IV-
adjust our Minds by devising
our own ideas of international
behavior and advocating them
honestly, modestly, persistentlY
without fear,
The world will listen to us
if those ideas are valid and if
we have proved, as we haven't
ret, that we can manage our
own affairs at home and are
worth listening to, Everything
useful we can do most start
right here, in Canada,
No law of nature, no special
dispensation from the power
giants, assures the independent
existence of Canada. It can be
assured only by Canadians.
Can we avoid, should we
longer try to avoid, union with
our neighbour, which seems im-
plicit in the geography of Am-
erica and in the tightening net
of power? I think we can and
should. As a Canadan 1 can
see the necessity of a gra,dual
merger, political and economic,
among the North Atlantic
nations as the beginning of the
world government, but not the
necessity or the desirability of
a merger confined to Canada
and the United States. -
The recent virture of our
civilization is what we ourselv-
es make it, no more, If it is
to be Canadian it cannot be

ary lease, to our good behav-
iour.
The 'hitter truth now dawn-
ing on us is. that fora Con,
Siderable time we have mis,
managed our estate and failed
to justify our Ownership- Never-
theless ,ocld as it may seem, I
find recent events encouraging,
Our sudden awakening -from
the fat twilight sleep of these
fifteen misspent years is Pn,
pleasant, a cruel shock to our
pride, the most grievous wound
in our Whole national history,
but it is the first essential of
recovery, How will the Cana-
dians react to their new neces-
sities?
They will pull themselves to-
gether; go to Work and climb
out of the present morass as
they have climbed out of so
many others, once they grasp
the truth that the politicians
refuse to tell them.
The Nation's recovery will
succeed unless Canadians have
lost overnight 'their native
quality. I don't think they
have. At any rate, we shall
soon know, Whatever else it
may produce, the next decade
at most will determine whether
Canada is a permanently living
thing or only a fleeting acci-
dent, a brief candle in the nor-
thern wind.
RCAF Clinton Safety Conscious
The • Ontario 'Department .of . Transport recently completed a "Safety Lane"
check of all privately owned. motor cars belonging to RCAF Clinton. personnel,
F/L M. J. "Mike" Jennings, safety officer, revealed that 1,195 safety checks
and re-checks were processed and over $00 safety stickers were issued to Ow11,
ers of cars that passed the rigid tests. F/L Art Shepherd of the School of
Instructional Technique is shown standing watching his car on the "wheel
alignment" test while .Cpl. J, H. Gallant, MSE safety supervisor, and Mr.
Basil Pocock, of the' department, examine his auto. (RCAF Pkoto)
prefer our long weekends rath-
er than life.
Oh yes! We have instituted
a. rigid testing system for young
and old drivers. I'm told that
it may easily cost $10 to $12
to obtain a drivers license in-
stead of the two or three a
few years ago. I can't see that
the testing has reduced the
number of accidents of young
drivers.
We also have our Provincial
Police out making check-tests
of motor vehicles yet the num-
ber of accidents caused by
mechanical failtire is fantastic-
ally small.
Seems to me we should re-
read the story of the "Crow
and the Windmill". Remember
bow the young crows wire so
sure that this windmill .was a
grave danger to their well be-
ing. They called a conference
and for hours cawed over a
host of ideas to remove this
plague.
Finally a wise old crow spoke
up and suggested that they
simply stay out of harm's way.
So it is with the motor car.
There is no need to destroy it.
All we need to do is use it
wisely.
Why do 'we place stop signs
at so many corners? It is to
tell the motorist that this is a
dangerous corner. To be safe
we must be sure that the road
is clear.
Yet I am amazed at the num-
ber of drivers who take a quick
glance both ways and scarcely
slow down at a corner, com-
pletely ignoring the stop sign
that was placed there, not to
inconvenience them, but rather
that they might live.
It is few times indeed that
I have visited Toronto and
didn't see at least one rear-end
collision.
Driving too close to the car
ahead makes this type of acci-
dent inevitable.
At the modern driving speed
you may easily travel 100 feet
in the time it takes you to
get your foot on the brake
after you see the signal of the
car ahead. If you are closer
than 100 feet you will inev-
itably hit the car ahead.
Our auto insurance compan-
ies have concrete proof that
drinking and driving greatly in-
creases the number of acci-
dents yet from the number of
bottles along the side and even
on the roads it is apparent
that we are not taking the old
crow's advice,
Domminion Day is over with
a record number of deaths re-
ported on the highways and
the .Fourth of July weekend
produced another record in
fatalities on the highways.
These things rate a head-line
in our newspapers.
Each weekend brings a reg-
ular report of those who failed
to arrive at their expected des-
tination.
The Atlantic Charter speaks
of our right to live in "free-
dom from fear", Do you dread
answering the telephone when
a member of the family is ab-
sent from home?
Is this what the motor car
has brought us?
What are we doing. about it?
First we do a lot of talking
about it, but on the other hand,
insist that as many events as
possible be celebrated with a
Monday holiday. Surely we
must realize that this practice
brings exceptionally heavy traf-
fic on the highways with an
ever increasing number of ac-
cidents.
Our choice is logical if we
A Matter of

According to the Farm Acci-
dent Survey in 1959-60, Ontario
farmers suffered the loss of
7,1.9 buildings from fire, caused
by lightning. This amounted
to almost a half a million .dol-
lars property loss, reports Hal
Wright, Fart)) Safety Specialist
with the Ontario Department
of Agriculture,
In some areas, lightning
strikes up to fifty times. a year
in each square mile, so the pos-
sibility of the barn being struck
is quite high, -
While lightning itself can-
not he controlled, it can bp
conducted to the gropnd with,
out causing damage, if the
lightning rod system is in good
repair.
Check the ground cable • to
make sure that the cattle have
not damaged or broken it, since
a lightning conductor system is
only as good as the ground
cable.
