NEW “WEAPON OF WAR” — An amphibious “Tracktor”
from the U.S. Marine Corps is seen here breaking up the ice
in a Korean river to keep the vital flow of traffic running
over a pontoon bridge to Canadian positions on the Korean
battlefront. As there is a constant danger that the formation
of ice. on these rivers will smash up the bridges on these
supply routes, this novel method of prevention points up one
of the many roles being played by this new fighting vehicle.

During the first eight weeks of its life, a norma? chick
increases its body weight more than 15 times over its
day-old weight.- During those weeks, chicks need a higher
percentage of body-building protein in their diet than at
any other time.
That’s why, during those important eight weeks, chicks should
be fed the "National fresh-mix way" on a tasty, all-mash
mixture containing a high percentage of protein and
essential minerals and vitamins.

Transportation Costs
Discussed By Forum
The subject discussed by the
Fairfield Farm Forum was trans
portation costs when 41 mem
bers met at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Neil for
meet.
Members learned
rates had remained
a quarter of a century but since
World War II they have grad
ually risen until they have now
reached an increase of 63 per
cent. This is due to a constant
rise in living expenses and rail
way traffic falling off. According
to reports, the Canadian Nation
al Railway now operates at a
loss.
Since freight changes are de
ducted from the price of farm
products but added to the price
of consumer goods, farmers are
affected both as producers and
consumers.
The West is hampered more
than the East where trucks car
ry a great deal of the freight,
yet trucks can never take the
place of the railroad. It was
pointed out that some railroads
operate trucks as well.
Machinery, livestock and grain
are the products most affected
by transportation costs. The for
um decided that trucks helped
to lower transportation costs but
a subsidy from the government
to relieve such costs might be a
solution.
Some members, however, ob
jected to the idea of subsidies
and thought that freight rates should *be made more uniform^
At the close of the discussiSn
period games were played and
lunch served. The next meeting
will be held at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Albert Smith and will
