to do with it, but so far this year “Big Stuke” seems to have
the right formula for winning rugby. Elis Eskimo.', arc play

But are these things all we
need for civic pride? Does it end
with our well kept homes and
public buildings, .our fine chur
ches and successful business
places?
We think not. Civic <pride goes
much further than all these
things. It should also extend to
the men and women, boys and
girls who really are the core of
foundation of any community.
This work and play should be
supported and encouraged.
In that way the respect of
each and everyone for the other
is broadened in such .a concrete
way that any effort undertaken
by any group or individual will
receive the whole-hearted support
of everyone directly or indirectly.
Now the main purpose of this
article is to try and stir interest
in sport in our town—all kinds
of sport. Let’s show the other
places around Exeter, who in
past years have more oi* less
laughed at our efforts in support
of our various teams, that we
can get behind our youth. Every
body loves a winner but it takes
real civic pride to get out and
support a team until it becomes
a winner.
With the hockey and basket
ball season approaching, let’s
start the ball rolling to build the
support which is so essential to
MAKE THE BEST MUD PIES IN MEMPHIS
After the spring floods, it’s a lot easier to make a good mud
pie downstream. Ask the little kiddies who bake for their
dolls. They will tell you there is nothing like rich, black top
soil for making flaky pies you can cut with a toy spoon.
Unfortunately, you can’t feed a hungry world mud pies.
That’s why we’ve got to stop soil erosion which feeds a river
like the Mississippi, at flood stage, the equivalent of a 40-acre
farm every minute. That’s why we must employ better crop
rotations, practice contour farming, and utilize many other
conservation methods recommended by agricultural experts
if we are to keep our precious topsoil at home where it can
produce the food and fiber so urgently needed.
You’ll find the application of these soil conservation meth
ods both practical and profitable. Be sure to stop by soon and
let us tell your how your John Deere Farm Equipment fits into
the soil conservation picture.
