Her letter reads: "Too often we hear of high prices and expensive repair bills. "I recently had a vacuum cleaner repaired at Fisher’s Hardware, and a watch need­ ing attention at Smith’s jewel- i lers. * "Anticipating a charge of i several dollars at each ; place, I was pleasantly sur- ( prised to be told "no charge” at the jewellers-and "25^ at ; Mr, Fisher’s store.

The pre­ harvest estimate is for a 12 ton- per-acre yield, down somewhat from the all time high of 14.3 I tons of 1955, but approximately [ one ton greater than the long term average.I Latest sugar tests are much improved over last year at the same time. Current tests are giv­ ing well over 15%, as compared to 14.5%; in 1955, with the sugar content rising almost daily due to the bright-warm weather. If the favourable weather con­ tinues, it is expected that the sugar content may reach an av­ erage of 17%. Growers benefit both on high tonnage and high sugar content according to the terms of the contract The lane was dark and desert­ ed, and Jones was suddenly ac­ costed by two men, the bigger of whom said politely: "Excuse me, sir-1 wonder if you could oblige with the loan of a penny?” "Why-fer-yes I think so.” re­ plied Jones. "But may I ask you why you require it?” "Oh, certainly sir,” the other replied. "My friend and I wish to toss the coin to decide our little argument as to which of us shall have your wallet.” 19.
