They want something distinctive And, if that sounds too much like a girlish demand, they point out that style, in this case, is functional. They say the pre­ sent style always results in their being mistaken for British sea­ men and that’s embarrassing sometimes. And on top of all that, they want to be identified as Canadians by their chapeau. Something new and different such as a beret, a pom-pom, is the seaman’s choice. C.P.C Good Hay Harvest Harold Campbell, Hay Town­ ship, had a better-than-average hay crop this year. Besides the value of his hay, he harvested a wallet containing over $200. He lost it last year during elec­ tion time. He hunted for it, ad­ vertised for it and did every­ thing possible to locate it but he finally chalked it down to bad luck. The wallet was dropped in a manure pile and spread over the field this spring. It was noticed during the hay cutting. The bills were faded but the bank accept­ ed them.
