Level Crossings Discussed At Farm Forum Meeting Farm Forum met on Monday even­ ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. X). Beecroft with an attendance of nineteen. Two groups discussed the questions re Railroad crossings and accidents. Within a radius of a few miles over fifteen level unprotected crossings were counted. Varied answers, were given to sug­ gested protection: atop signs, enforced by law as on highways, with a stamp or picture of train; red reflector signs; clear out the corners and obstructions; level out the grades so cars won’t be so apt to stall; erect sign-board with skull and cross bones.

They all re­ time even if plentiful for Cy Scott and bring Westfield Forum Discusses Prices 'The Farm Forum meeting was held on Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Fred Cook, with 18 present. The topic for discussion was farm price trends. The following questions were dis­ cussed. What are some of the ways in which the farmer’s in your area might adjust to a period of unfavor­ able prices? The group felt that the way would be to produce half as much. This would quickly raise the prices as well as cutting down on the amount of high price machinery and high cost of labor to produce it. Mem­ bers said they were tired of hearing that farmers should be more efficient and produce better quality. Are over­ alls at $6.25 a pair better quality than when tine could buy them at $1.25? Al­ so’ what about water heater tanks that rust out in one year, when some of the older tanks lasted from 10 to 20 years. The group thought the area was well supplied with the organizations and services of a Marketing co-opera­ tive to handle the sales of one or more farm products. A producers marketing board set up under pro­ vincial legislation to regulate the sales of certain farm products and a pur­ chasing Co-operative to serve as a retail store for farm supplies and other goods was suggested. The meeting next Monday night will be held at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Howard Camptypll. A social time was spent and lunch was served. ‘ The book value of United States investment in Canada at the beginn­ ing of 1952 was $7,235,000,000 and has continued to rise ever since. This is the first of a series of col­ umns that will appear regularly in this newspaper. It’s title, at present—for want of a better one—is “At the Li­ brary” and it will be concerned main­ ly with comments on new books at i,h.\ Wingham Library. Sometimes. .*owv.ver, it will discuss new books, of interest not at the library or old books at the library, or old books not at the .ibiary, or anything we feel like writ­ ing about. And just to start off with a contra­ diction between th title and the con­ i'- nt of the column, we’re going to dis­ cuss two books that are not to be found in the Wingham Library. The first of these, RENOWN AT STRATFORD, by Tyrone Guthrie and Robertson Davies, with drawings by Grant McDonald, is a record of last summer’s Shakespearean Festival at Stratford and will be read eagerly by all Who attended that festival. The first quarter of the book is an essay by Director Tyrone Guthrie on the first year’s success story, from its be­ ginning as an idea in the mind of Stratford’s Tom Patterson to its cli­ max when the performance of Rich­ ard III and Ail's Well that Ends Well won the acclaim of both the public and the critics. Mr. Guthrie tells his story in a clear, straightforward fa­ shion, but he tells it entertainingly and often humorously. His essay ends, all too quickly the reader feels, on a note of warning. “In connection with Strat­ ford, there are just two things I dread. First, that the Festival may be abused' by profiteers. — Second, a refinement of the same thing, that there will be an outbreak of Ye Olde. I heard a rumour that two ladies had bought land and proposed to erect an imi- 'tation of Anne Hathaway’s cottage in which they would brew Daintye Teas. Where the Tourists are, there will the Vultures be gathered together. Strat­ ford, England, is infested with vul­ tures, disguised as silverhaired Gen­ tlewomen selling hand-woven scarves, handbeaten doorknockers and, of course, Daintye Teas. No one can pre­ vent them. They are within their rights. But in a perfectly legal way they desecrate and vulgarize a shrine.” erica that was so fortunate in the character of its pioneer settlers as the upper Otonabee, Here we have in the Stewarts, the Stricklands, the Traills, the Moodies, fortitude that endured most exacting heardships in rare union with high literary gifts; what they have recorded is at once valuable history and excellent writ­ ing." Readers in this part of Ontario will be especially interested in the part of Samuel' Strickland’s story concerned with the few years he spent away from the Otonabee as an employee of the Canada Company in the opening up of the Huron Tract under the leadership of John Galt and in assoc­ iation with the famous “Tiger” Dun­ lop. Page OTONABEE PJONBEBB is an ef- festive summary of the Jives of a re­ markable group of people, and may lead some readers to such books as OUR FOREST HOME, by Mrs. Stew­ art, TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS lb? CANADA WEST, by Major Strick* land, and ROUGHING IT IN THE BUSH by Mrs Moodie. 1 Both books reviewed today are act­ ually pioneer stories, OTONABEE PIONEERS tells of people who were Canadian pioneers in both a literal and a literary sense; RENOWN AT STRATFORD describes the pioneer efforts to establish a permanent Can­ adian Theatre. Both are well worth reading, and would form a valuable I addition to any library. ------1 —...............- ...................... . ... ...................... ........ ..........................— , ".JU.I OUTSTANDING VALUE !

Each sketch is accompanied with a drawing by Grant McDonald, to whom Davies pays a warm tribute in the preface “He has the power to paint an actor in character in such a way that, even if we have not seen the actor play that part we sense the truth of the portrait, and receive a strong impression of what the perfor­ mance was like. It is a pleasure to be asked to comment upon the Stratford Festival in a book where so much of the critical work is done by the artist, it leaves the writer free to wander in by-paths suggested by two great plays, admirably performed.” And bright and entertaining by-paths they . are—what other kind could we travel in this writer's company?—As Mr. Davies comments on such things as the costumes, the make-up, the ac­ tion, the players, the two plays per­ formed, Shakespeare’s art, Shakes­ pearian criticism. To those fortunate ones who saw one or both of the plays, RENOWN AT STRATFORD will be a pleasant souvenir; to others it will be a stimu­ lus to attend this summer’s festival 0-0-0 second book we’ll mention this is OTONABFE PIONEERS, The week written by G.
