Dear Mr. Southcott: A week ago this evening at 10:30 o’clock my five and a half months as agent of the Canada Trust Co., executors of K. M. MacFaul estate, ended. The following morning I hade farewell to the village of my nativity and the home of my boy­ hood with its ten thousand mem­ ories and priceless associations and was motored by my next door neighbor, Mr. Edgar Squire, 140 miles to this village, 14‘miles from Toronto and its 850,000 citizens and manifold activities. Through this village two miles from Port Credit extends a roadway which connects the scenic Lake Shore Highway between Hamilton and To­ ronto and the Queen Elizabeth Highway connecting the same two cities. From my friends of six years devotion, Mr. and Mrs. Harry White- . field, I have rented a room in their home, 14’xl5’ with large windows on north and west sides which af­ ford views of gardens, orchards and distant green woods. In the room from my former home in Exeter are a 3-piece bedroom suite, 2 book­ cases, a set of book shelves, 4 chairs, 9x12 rug, 3 floor mats, cyl­ indrical Indian woven laundry bas­ ket, a portable Philco radio and a ' portable Remington typewriter. I-Iere I plan to rest, write and read, meditate, prepare addresses for talks on mission work and for pul­ pit work and hence to visit and to accept public engagements.' As God may graciously give me opportunities and health and strength. Please begin my subscrip­ tion with last week’s issue and ob­ lige. With all good wishes for your home circle. Yours cordially and fraternally, ■E. Grigg. October 13, Thanksgiving Canadians will mark Thanks­ giving Day this year on Monday, October 13.

A number of the members of Huron Federation of Agriculture and other interested parties met in the Agricultural Of­ fice at Clinton, last Friday evening, to discuss the situation, and letters ’ of protest were sent to the Prime Minister, McKenzie King, the Hon. James G. Gardiner, the Minister of Agriculture, and the Hon. Duncan Abbot, Minister of Finance at Ot­ tawa. If the subsidy is withdrawn, it will mean that the farmers of Ontario will have to pay 25c more pei’ bushel for Barley and Wheat and 10c more per bushel for feed Oats. 'Such an increase in price of feed grain would seriously curtail the production of livestock and poultry products in Huron County. In some abattoirs in the Province so many 'brood sows are being re­ ceived for slaughter that the Pack­ ing Plants in question have, in some cases, refused to accept delivery. In the month of May alone 204 brood sows were shipped to the abattoirs from Huron County. This is very much above the normal fig­ ure and the affects will be noticed next winter in the lower number of bacon hogs being sent to mar­ ket. The situation is really serious, and it this subsidy is withdrawn, it will not only reduce the amount of meat, eggs and dairy products available for domestic consumption, but will also jeopardize our Cana­ dian bacon,, egg and cheese con­ tracts with Great Britain. Haying operations are still gen­ eral through the County, and at this late date many acres of hay land will be used for pasture in­ stead of being cut and stored in the barns as hay. A few farmers have commenced cutting fall wheat, which in general is a good crop throughout the 'County, but a seri­ ous decrease in yield will result from the heavy infestation of loose smut. Loose smut of wheat has al­ ways been a serious menace to the variety, Dawson’s iGolden Chaff, and the only way in which this can be defeated is to use new clean seed each year, to treat youi’ own seed by the hot water treatment which is cumbersome and expens­ ive, or to use varieties resistant to this disease. The Crop Improvement Association in Huron. County plan to introduce a considerable quan­ tity of Cornell 595 seed wheat to the County this Fall. This variety is resistant to loose smut and from results obtained during the past three years in test plots, it com­ pares favorably with Dawson’s Golden Chaff for yield and straw strength. Sending Money Away? Here‘s An Easy Way! The money you’re sending away may be a lot or a little. 'Its journey may be long or short. But what­ ever the case, you'll find it pays to send your money through the Bank of Montreal. One or another of its services will fit youi’ require­ ments—and inexpensively, too. For amounts up to a hundred dollars going to points in Canada and the United States, a B of M money order gives maximum secur­ ity and convenience at minimum cost. For larger amounts, U. W. Par­ kinson, local branch accountant, will gladly arrange drafts — good the world over. He can also help to forward money at top speed by rushing it through the B of M’s system of telegraphic and cable transfers. If it’s sarety, economy, conveni­ ence and speed you want when sending funds, the B of M has the answer. (advt.)

He said the harvest should exceed 1,500,000 bushels. The increase in product- tion is attributed to the fact that more farmers are growing beans this year. Last year there were about 5,500 growers. This year there are approximately 8,000* it was stated that the United Kingdom had requested 187,000 bushels at a price of 3.40, Last year Britain asked 500,000, but the exports were far short of that figure. Mr. McPherson said that farm-* ers lit the Huron-Perth area were finding that growing of white beans is advantageous to them, in that they could harvest the. beans and plant fall wheat in the samo fields. • HENSALL Mr. and.

A member of St. Patrick’s Church, ONLY BUICH HAS ALL OTHSSSA BUICK buyer is practically that, of course, the minute he takes over any new 1947 Buick. Never before has any automobile so completely won the country by its beauty—so clearly defined the shape of cars to come. But to really take the stage and hold it— to cut a dashing figure in the smartest of Smart company-people everywhere are settingtheirsights on this bold beauty here. It is without question the most exciting version of Canada’s most wanted car. It’s wanted for the freedom one feels when its handy control swings back the top—and the sky becomes your roof and the birds your travel mates. It’s wanted for the lift add surge of its satiny straight-eight Fireball power plant, master of every grade and hill, monarch of the farthest horizon. It’s wanted for bigness, and the deep comfort of low-set, cushiony seats — wanted for the floating ease of soft all-coil springing, and the sure-footed stride of a car that’s big enough and brawny enough for its job. It's wanted for styling that already has set the pattern for years to come—it’s wanted for fun, for adventure, and for year-round, all-round full family use. So many people want Buick, and only Buick, that the demand continues far ahead of our ability to deliver. But this big brawny beauty deserves your last ounce of patience . . . so while you wait* depend on your Buick Dealer’s expert service to keep your present car on the toad.
