At a well,atteuded sharelielc""
era meeting of Farmers
Meat EnterPrisps (FAME), held
in Lucan Area?. February 19,
farmers learned that FAME has
over 12,000 shareholders and
that there has been more money,
taken in since July through the
sale of debentures and sharp
capital than during any previeus
six months since the company
was formed.
Two yearS ago Middlesex
County had a very small mem-
bership but today it has over 700
shareholders.
It was pointed out that FAME
could benefit the shareholder in
five different ways,
1. For the shareholders to
haye a sale force out selling
meat instead of iiyestock.
2. Being paid the wholesale
price instead of the live price.
3. A saving in transportation
and selling cost, by being close
to the processing plants.
4. Better marketing condi-
tions.
5. A more stable price by
selling in the wholesale market
instead of the live market.
It was alsp pointed out by
Colin Corrigan, FAME deben-
ture supervisor, thkt the board
of directors passed a resolution
that they will wait until suf-
ficient money was in sight to
build an economical unit which
consists of a processing plant

Farm Final-Filter, these impurities no longer find their way
into your expensive farm equipment. With scientific effi-

Only B-A has this Farm Final-Filter, and we're pleased to
offer it to you at a special introductory price of just $5.95.
Ask your implement dealer about it. He'll tell you how the
Farm Final-Filter can pay for itself many times over by
helping to avoid both repair costs and lost time.

These assorted bits of equipment are now under canvas at the lake edge on Grand
Bend beach following test of a new intake system which would save Grand Bend
thousands of dollars if it is successful. Pumping equipment was installed for
Sarnia engineer G. C. Henderson by a Petrol'a contractor for the research
project. This model of the "Stirrett System" consists of ten feet of perforated
pipe installed just offshore at the main beach and seven feet below the lake bot-
torn. A four-inch pipe leads from this installation to a storage tank. Provision is
made for back-pumping to clear sand and silt from the perforated pipe at inter-
vals. That's Grant Sirrett of Bright's Grove at far right talking with John Manore
of the village's water committee. Installed Feb. 17, the system may be removed
today (Thursday). A representative of the Ontario Water Resources Commission
inspected the installation. —Dinnin photo
