Don’t be ‘OUT’ when
you should be ‘IN’
Let’s not “panic” about this poultry business, but look at
the facts: At normal production and consumption levels,0'
our annual egg surplus amounts to only 10-15% of total
output. Even a little rise in consumption (one more egg
per person pei- week) or a little drop in production can
cancel that 10-15% mighty fast! And look what’s happen
ing—lower prices are stimulating consumption; heavy
marketing of layers is cutting production.
With thousands of layings pullets going to market, it
doesn’t take much1 of a prophet to forecast a shortage of
fresh eggs, especially big eggs, next summer and early
fall . . . good egg prices and a wide spread for size, just
when good cliicks started now are reaching full production
of good-sized eggs. And Bray birds are noted for early
maturity and large egg size.
Aim
with
formation and latest low prices '(following the
egg market). Wide choice breeds and crosses—
many generations skilled selection. Both day-old
and started chicks available fox' prompt shipment.

The past week the pupils went

games of basketball were played.* * * *
A week^ ago last Tuesday the
junioi’ teams played at Mitchell.
They ran up against the same
trouble as the Senioi' teams—
the small floor. Fortunately it
was a split day for both schools
as our Junioi' boys won by a 25-
18 victory and the Mitchell
Junioi' girls defeated our girls
2(2-15. I did not atteud the
games but from all reports the
kids played swell and hope to
beat iSt. iMarys this Tuesday.
Best of luck.

Last Thursday, the Senioi’
teams travelled ovex' to .St. Marys
to what they anticipated a battle.
The boys found this to be true
as they lost to the St. Marys’
fellows 35-33. Gee! It was
tough. The girls found just the
opposite and were able to defeat
the St. Marys’ gals 27-8.
The boys' game was sure a
heartbreakei' as they were ahead
33--31 with two minutes to go.
In these remaining two minutes
St. Marys came up with a couple
of free shots and a quick basket
to make the score 35-33 in theii'
favour. It was a wonderful game
from the spectator’s viewpoint,
that you can beat them on our
own gym floor.

to apply printing skill and modem machinery
so that good work can be produced quickly. But it does
help if We have a reasonable allowance of time
YOUR ORDERS for printing are always appreciated. If
speed is of the essence we make an effort to make
the deadline with the best possible workmanship!

The girls were sure surprised
when they walked all ovei’ the
St. Marys team. The half time
score showed 19-0 in favoui' of
Exeter and it was not until away
on in the third quarter that the
iSt. Marys gals found their bas
ket for a couple of points (guess
we’re not .as bad as we thought).
The kids all played a swell game
and the guards were really ter

coudn’t even get near the basket
for a shot.

The Voice
Of Temperance . . . .
Chief .Justice J. D. McRuer
has given it as his judgement
that ’“Liquor is at the root of
most of the -cases of homidide
coming before the cburts, and in
some large measure responsible
for the too frequent attacks on
wohxeh and girls and other ser
ious crimes. Liquor and broken
homes are the two great forces
for crime in our community.*’
The judgement Of the chief jus
tice .should ba enough to deter
anycommunity from OpOiiiilg. up
or increasing its liquor outlets.
