Anne Grayer is leaving for the airport school and more children have intimated that their parents expect to move before the end of the month. However, the new occupants of these Exeter houses will doubtless comprise some children anyway so we’ll keep the vacant desks dusted. Other children who have left are Wayne, Arlene, Marion and Norma Ford to Mrs. Ellis’ school in Hay Township. The weekly smile comes from Mr. Blowes’ English class—the feminine gender of “whale” . . . answer “whaler”. The staff and students are more than pleased to go along with Exeter’s voters^ in approving the work of last year’s School Board. It is gratifying to know that the entire board which was responsible for initiating the modernization of Exeter’s Public School facilities, will be in office to see the culmination of their efforts.

No matter how busy you are, this Spring, don’t lose sight of the importance of giving your “young stuff” an extra-good start. Those first few weeks are the time when they set their course in life, for life; and the time too when they make best use of their feed. 1 Did you start your chicks on Chick Startena Checker- Etts last year? If you did, we don’t need to tell you what a “fly ing start” these Checker - Etts give chicks — high vigor, high livability, fast growth. If you didn't, ask someone who did — he will tell you! Start your chicks right — feed . . Chick Startena The pigs that make you money are the growthy fellows who get away to a good start, and keep on go ing. That calls for good feed for both the sow (she has to have it to milk well) and the litter, ance your chop the additional tein, minerals vitamins they need...

Advertise Farm Produce For Better Markets Twenty-one members of the Elimville North Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Miller on Monday even ing. Topic for discussion was, “Wanted (New Markets”. It was decided that the stand ard of farm products should be kept high. Farm produce should be packaged attractively. The public should he educated to eat the proper food. The forum be lieves it is a good idea to adver tise farm products. Industry has proven that it pays to advertise their products, so the farmers through their various organizations should do the same. Advertizing helps to keep the product in the mind of the pub lic and they are more likely to buy more of our products. Next Monday evening the for um will meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Johns. The topic for discussion will be, “Marketing Quality Products”. Teacher: “So 'this is Harold." Mother: “Yes, and he’s a very sensitive child. If you need to punish him, just slap the boy in the next seat, and Harold will behave.” Once field work opens up, you haven't much time to spend on feeding calves. Here's a way that will save ya# time — save you milk and money, too, and raise real dairylike youngsters, growthy and thrifty. Many of our best dairymen follow this Purina Plan, and re port first-rate results.
