Shoe Glamour WESTFIELD in the fall. Will the load of hogs ...gaming close to market weight pay the ;taxes and leave enough for Fall "needs? Should- we sell those four steers now-. . or feed them this Winter? They are well finished . but the buyers ” are not paying en­ ough, Plowing is a time for such con­ sideration. As the furrows turn over and the rich, deep* dark brawn earth cracks as it flows into place , . . it’s surprising how clearly the troubles that kept- you tossing on your pillow at night, seem to arrange themselves, with natural, logical answers. Plowing in the spring is somehow different, The earth is moist . , . and if you have had open weather it is warm and steamy, There is rich fer­ tility in its breath , , . A sense of “growingness’” seems to fill the air. A lazy winter-sleep-drugged snake crawls sluggishly out of reach of the horse’s hooves . . . Sea gulls wheel in shrieking delight as they pounce on the feast upturned by the plow. The soft, spring air is filled with the noise of a world that seems suddenly to have eome to life. A noisy neighbor complains in a strident voice about the laziness of his team, . . Children yell in happiness as they play at re­ cess-time in the school yard on the corner , . . The world is alive and happy at the thoughts of warm, sunny days which lie in store for it. Late Fall plowing on a drizzling rainy day is not - the most pleasant task. However, it has its compensa­ tions. As the Fall dusk creeps up darkly on you and the misty rain which has soaked through your cloth­ es begins to chill you, the team go on steadily . . . until the time does finally come when you unhitch and go to the stable in the deepening is murky lantern light which ’steams up as the in.

Ltd., on Wednesday afternoon of last week, were guests of the manage­ ment, officers and directors of No. 12 Elementary School, Sky Harbor,. They were shown through the*plant in groups in charge of instructors and the various operations explained in de­ tail, and expressed themselves as well pleased with the tjdiness of buildings and grounds and the evidence of effic­ iency operation on every hand. A buf­ fet luncheon was served the visitors before their departure to various parts It is just a year since these patriotic people invested their money in the company that put Sky Harbor in op­ eration as a part of the Common­ wealth Air Training Plan, and. since then hundreds of’students, some of them now in action over Britain, oc­ cupied France and Germany have been trained there. The investment has proved sound and practical, for Sky Harbor solds a high place among the twenty-three elementary schools of the Commonwealth Plan, L.A.C. Crawford Gibson of Wrox- eter returned Jo Trenton after spend­ ing his furlough with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Gibson. Holiday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. Waller were: Miss Marj­ orie Waller and the Misses Ann and Ruth Leitch, Toronto and Mr. and Mrs. Neil Carr, Wingham. Mr. and Mrs. A. Gold and son Bob­ bie, Toronto and Miss Jessie Paulin, Stayner, were holiday visitors at the home of Mrs. E. Paulin. Miss Jeanette Adam, Stayner, was a week-end guest with her uncle and aunt, PLOWING farmer has little time for paint­ music or good books. All too often he neglects to farm the farm buildings, he finds himself on the wrong side of the books at the bank and then he has to face the “music.” However, there is one thing which a farmer takes pride in . . . one achieve­ ment which is almost a heritage with him . . . and that is the plowing on his farm. Grandfather was always a stern ad­ vocate of good plowing. He maintain­ ed that it was bad enough for a man to beat his wife, starve his stock or let weeds grow "on his farm . . . but there was no excuse for poor plowing. From the time he struck out land until he finished up the head lands he was very careful . . . precise in every fur­ row! When he finished it was a joy in itself to look at the field. Straight furrows, looking as if they had been shaped by hand, stretched endlessely up over the hills and down through the valleys of Laxy Meadows. After supper you would see him stand out on the west side of the house looking over the fields ... figuring how long it would take to finish the plowing . . . the flickering flare of the match light­ ing his face up with a ruddy glow as he lit his pipe. City people have often remarked that plowing must be a boding job. They watch as the plowman and his team go slowly across a field . . . up a hill where they are silhouetted briefly against the sky . . only to- dis­ appear and then come back into, sil­ houette again and wend their way down into a valley. On level land, you’ll see a. plowman go up and dJown steadily for hours at a time . . . stop­ ing at intervals- to rest because the ex­ actness of plowing is tiresome. What does- a plowman think about? ■ He thinks first of all of his work,, but like all good workmen he becomes- : through experience so accustomed to ; his task that he has plenty of time to think of other things. On a warm,, hazy day of Autumn there are plenty of experiences to be had in plowing a field. Think of the fragrant air of Aut­ umn . . . filled with the smoky in­ cense of burning leaves . . . the trees that seem blbod-spattered from the death struggle of ^summer jousting, with Jack Frost . , the whirring of a silo-filling machine . . . the steady pam-pamming of a threshing machine somewhere over the river. Birds wheeling in clustered formations . . . atid now and again the familiar sounds of ducks and geese heading for a southern climate, Certainly a man should be able* to think in such an atmosphere as Fall provides. I3erhaps he thinks of a tousleheaded tot sitting at the breakfast table and assuring him that soon he will be plowing. It’s a mighty good time to look back and see the years passing in review since that lad was a squawl- ing infant. When you plow it's a good time to think over troubles and problems that crowd in on every-day living. Tax time is coming as surely as plowing dusk. There in the stable horses come fed. and you and head for Golden-yellow from an oil lamp streams out )yith the warmth as you open the kitchen door and step inside. Damp cold clothes as soon discarded and as you eat the tiredness seems to leave your body. Soon the Fall plowing will be finished and. the blanketing snow will come down to covet up the even furrows . . . The work is hard . . . but at the close of day ... a day such as this Fall one . . . you sleep contentedly, your tired body glorying in the comfort of deep sleep. Plowing seems somehow to be the basis of farming . . . the work where skill of work gives the deepest satisfaction. Mr. and Mrs. George Griffith. ASHFIELD ST.
