In addition to the 60, 70 and 80 percent levels of coverage previously available, farmers may now insure for 50 percent of their average farm yield. The low rates established , for this latter coverage produce a premium cost as low as 62 cents per acre in some areas. "This lower level of coverage", said K. E. Lantz, chairman of the Commission, "was provided in response to considerable demand for Anniversary services in Londesboro United Church will be observed this Sunday at 11 o'clock.

Mrs. Neil Langille and,Mrs. Harry Snell are NewCub leader (Continued from Page 1) the next pack meeting. All the family is welcome - the more the merrier - all parents are urged to be represented if this year's cubbing is going to be really successful for the boys. Parents are welcome to come at 7:00 p.m. with their sons but it is at 8:15 they should all be present. There is still a need for more leaders; ladies are eligible as well as gentlemen, and fifty years of cubbing in a hundred different countries has shown that for boys in this age group, 8 to 11, a team of leaders drawn from both sexes is the most effective. The minimum age for an assistant is 18 and the maximum age is, we'll say, 81. Parents, particularly' parents of new cubs, will probably find the thumb nail talk which will be given on the aims and basic method of the movement of interest, and if they have relatives or friends interested in cubbing, particularly interested in learning to be a cub leader, they are urged to bring them too.
