Approximately a quarter of
the bean crop is yet to be
harvested. That which is
harvested looks to be of good
quality and of a higher yield
than was earlier expected. In
some areas yields range from 25
— 30 bushesl and in other areas,
somewhat lower. Husking corn is
beginning to mature and yields
here look promising. A
substantial acreage of good
quality silage corn has 'been
taken in and the remainder
won't be out long if the good
weather holds. Fall ploughing
has started in some areas of the
county. Winter wheat has good
growth at this time and looks as
if it will withstand the winter ..,-
very well. Pastures are in very
good shape and should last until
Ithe livestock is taken in.

Here's a tip from the Ontario
Safety League to improve
driving visibility in heavy rain.
Slice a potato and smear the
surfaces of your car's back
window, outside mirrors, and
portions of windshield not
reached by the wiper blades. For
some reason this makes the rain
run "clear" down the glass. But
don't rely on• a rub from a raw
potato as an effective substitute
for good windshield wipers.

Hillsgreen intersection, it has
decided to reverse the stop signs.
To prevent accidents, the
broadloom, new furniture, and

Mr. Aiken asked in the
Commons: "In the light of
stories that are cirulating, can
the minister advise the house
whether the intense neutron
generator project is to be
cancelled in order to pay for the
furnishing of the minister's
departmental offices?"
Later, Mr. Greene said: "It
was my idea to set up a
first-class shop with first-class
tools so we can do a first-class
job. And what's wrong with
that?"
"I'm the minister, in charge
of a large and important
department doing business with
important men in large and
important industries. Do you
want me to receive them in some
kind of slum?"
A Roman Catholic secondary
school should be built for
children of Perth and Huron
counties, according to John
Sweeney, Superintendent of
Catholic schools in the
Kitchener area.
Mr. Sweeney told an
educational Study conference at

required if Roman Catholic

said.

A West Virginia man

of four Canadians, one of them
Robert McKinley, Conservative
MP for Huron, has been
sentenced to 21 years in prison,
Ronald Lee Watson, of
Parkersburg, West Virginia, was
convicted in Fayette circuit
court, Lexington, Ky. ,
Mr. McKinley testified that
just after he and his wife with
his father-in-law, Donald
Hendrick, and Mrs. Hendrick
had checked into motel rooms
they were robbed by two men of
about $380.
Purpose of such a school is
hot just to have religion taught,
he added, but to create an
environment in which students
can "actually live their faith as
well as learn it."

Canada's provinces, can afford
dual secondary systems, Mr.
Sweehey said.
