Three tri-county tournaments will
feaure Grand Bend’s "Rural Day” on
Wednesday, August 25th— special
celebration for the farm people pf
Hurpn, Lambton and Middlesex.
The counties will. vie against eaph
pther in epntests pf all-star softball,
lacrpsse, hprseshpe pitching and tug-
of-war with handspme new trophies
as prizes. The day is expected tc be
the beginning pf annual competi-
tinns at the ppular Lake Hurnn resprt.
Described as “Western "Ontario’s
Newest Farm Day” the Grand Bend
celebration is being organized by the
Chamber of Commerce with enthusi
astic support from agrculture ‘and
sports officials in the three counties.
The total reseurces of the resort
with its famous white sand and beach
Will be turned over to the entertain
ment and amusement of its rural nei-
ghbors. Facilities for family ponies
and special attractions have been ar
ranged in addition to the spurt pro
gram.
Pick Best Players
Top softball players from each
county will be picked for the all-star
contests. Two of the select squads
will meet in the morning with the
winner playing the third in an after
noon game.
Entries for the horseshoe pitching
contests are pouring into the Cham
ber of Commerce office indicating
that this old sport still enjoys im
mense popularity. The county champ
ions will be declared by elimination in
the morning and a grand champion-
REFUSE TO SELL
BRIDGE FOR $126
Logan Township Council won’t sell
the old Haehnel bridge for $126. Coun
cil earlier asked for tenders but re
ceived one only.
Reeve William H. Chaffe and coun-
cilllors decided it would be better to
dismantle" the bridge, which has been
replaced by a new structure and use
the material .in other projects. -
He forgot that a bit of wood preservative, applied at
little cost when the fence was put’ in, would have
saved him the cost-of new posts now.
In the telephone business, as around your own home, we
find it’s better to do the job right in the first place and
then look after it. It’s the best way we know to avoid
heavy repair and replacement costs, to save expense and
give you most service for your money. < .
That’s why we treat telephone poles against rot; why we
keep our trucks clean and in good repair; why we put up
exchanges and offices to last.
It’s common sense if we are to keep our costs down—and
the price of your telephone service low.

Financial Stability
Greatest Strength
Says Bank Letter
Prpbably the greatest source
strength in Canada at the present
time is the financial stability of the
economy says the current issue of the
Commercial Letter published by The
Canadian Bank of Commerce. The
ability of the capital market to absorb
security offerings encourages capital
expenditures by both business and
governments. Also, there has been no
sharp or sustained break in security
prices. This has had a good psycho
logical effect and has helped to stimu
late the sale of equities. Savings (not
ice deposits in chartered banks), are
at a very high level, and to the end
of June had increased by-8 per cent
since the beginning of the year. Thus
jthere is available a large sum for the
reduction of outstanding indebtedness.
The decline in retail sales, almost 2
per cent in the January-May period
compared with 1953—may, in the cir
cumstances, be.regarded not so much
as the result of inability to buy as of
I disinnlinntinn' tn dn so. This disinclina
tion arises, apparently, in part from
the decline in employment, in part
from a hesitation to increase commit
ments, and in part from a feeling that
prices are “out of line" and may drop.
Since the .autumn of 1953 the broad
pattern of the Canadian economy has
been one of gradual subsidence fol-
ship round robin will be staged in the
afternoon, All doubles teams must be
entered by midnight, August 20. En
try forms are. available from Pat
Harrison, C. of C. See-, Grand Bend.
-Agricultural representatives will
pick the strongest and heaviest men
in their counties for the tug-of-war
matches, The preliminary pull will be
staged in the morning with the grand
championship match in the afternoon.
School Will Be Site
Grand Bead’s new three-acre feric-
ed-in ^school playground will be the
scene of the tri-county contests. Blea
cher seats are being provided for the
day.
Originator of “Rural Day" is D. W.
“Pat" Harrison, secretary-manager of
the Chamber of Commerce, who says:
“We’ve planned this event to pay tri
bute to the rural friends of Grand
Bend who have supported our resort
for four generations. They used to , disinclination' to do so. This disinclina-
come here by horse and buggy to en-jHn" apisfta in nnH from
joy picnics and sports events. Now
we’d like to honor them with a special
day of their own.”
According to Emerson Desjardine,’
Chamber of Commerce vice-president,
and Peter Eisenbach, director, no ef
fort will be spared to make this one !of the biggest and finest fa™’d^' a d^and sonte^ ie.
in Western Ontario. “We want to
make this celebration an outstanding
success," said Sir. Eisenbach, “be
cause we want it to .be an annual
event."
Grand Bend is the only point at
which the three counties meet. The
village is actually in Lambton but it
has Huron on its north boundary and
Middlesex is only a few miles to the
south-east.

You can feed the old straight grain way and—
—take 8 months or better to get your hogs to
market.
■feed them up to 1,100 lbs. each
OR
You cam feed the SHUR-GAIN way and
—get your hogs to market in 5 or 6 months
—feed as little as 600 lbs. of feed each
That’s the difference that balanced feeding makes.
Whether you have SHUR-GAIN Hog Concentrate
mixed with your own grain or whether you use the
SHUR-GAIN complete hog feeds, your profits will
