Doctors give him a pain in sweat, and told meI had a bee knee and should be careful.. Recently, I went to the veter- ans' hospital, for my regular chest check-up. The doe could not find the scar on my X-ray, and had to ask me which lung it had been. I didn't know, The other day, I went to an eye specialist, I can see fine, but my wife thought I should go. I haven't had my eyes checked since another eye specialist,15 yeaxs ago, prescribed the glasses I wear for reading. Well, this young fellow the other day, Who can give you an appointment within four months of the time yeti call, told .me didn't need glasses, Said ones I had were as useful as window panes, He didn't realize I'd had them renewed at about $25 a rattle, four or live times since the original preecription, whenever I'd broken them or lost them. Well, I'm going to fool him. I'm going to go right on wearing those glasses, if only to hide the bags under my eyes. Doctors! It's not that I'm pre- judiced. Some of my best friends are doctors.

He took $28 worth of X- rays and a ten-dollar fee, poked me painfully, and on the second visit informed me that I had a "severe irritation of the lumbar region." I was pretty scared and asked him what it involved."To put it in layman's language", he pontificated, "you have a sore back." Couple of years later, I hob- bled into another doctor's of- fice, My knee was acting up. A German feldwebel had tried to kick the kneecap off, one day in 1944, and every so often it went on the fritz. The doe twisted it until I screamed, told melt was very painful, and sent me to a specialist. He took X-rays, wrenched it until I was bathed Twenty-five members and four Counsellors attended the 13th Expedition of the Lucan- Clandeboye Explorers in the United Church schoolroom last Monday evening. The meeting began with a game led by Counsellor Bar- bara Park. Mrs. McRoberts read the second chapter of the study book entitled, "A Brother Bewitch- ed", which was followed by a discussion. Dividing into four groups, a tour of the room was made to view and discuss the Trinidad pictures on display. The theme of the worship service was "Following the Best Way", which was taken by Lynn Melanson, Jane Lockyer and Barbara Park. Explorers across Canadaare raising funds to send to Trini- dad, so the Lucan group were asked to bring a larger col- lection to the next meeting March 1, to supply iron pills for one Trinidad child for one year. The meeting closed with an- other game In charge of Mrs. McRoberts. A renownedf arm editor reports on a new fertilizer, with a new twist—only one farmer infive can buy it!

The meeting was turned over to Mrs. Cecil Robb, convener for Historical Research and Current Events. Each member had been asked to bring an ancient quilt or spread. These were hung on the south side of the auditorium, with the name of the maker and the date when made. Mrs. Robb, gave an interest- ing paper on the making of quilts, displaying many pat- terns.

The historical research and current events meeting of the Lucan WI was held in the Com- munity Memorial Centre Thursday afternoon with the president, Mrs. T. A. Watson in the chair. Roll call was answered by commenting on, and passing around one of the member's oldest school books, which re- called many happy by g on e school days. It was voted to purchase and replace one of the trees, which had been winter killed. After a report on the last Euchre party, committees were set up for the next two on February 24 and March 10.

Watson and Nancy of Main St., North, had a nerve wracking exper- ience at midnight Saturday evening, while watching TV when their brick home was hit by a car, with sufficient force to cut off the hydro and telephone service and knock pictures off the piano and TV as well as bricks off the corner of the house. The young driver, returning home from the dance at the Lucan Arena, lost control of his car when another car pull- ed in front of him, hit a hydro post, disconnected the line of coloured lights across the street, then hit a tree before ramming into the Watson home. Had it not been for the post and tree the damage to the home would have been much worse. When the Watson's groped their way, in the dark, to their front door they found the car on fire. Police and on-lookers were able to extinguish the fire, with snow before the fire de- partment left the fire hall. The unfortunate young man, who was alone in the car at the time of the accident was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital by the Has- kett Ambulance. The car was a complete wreck.

A couple of experiences re- cently have confirmed some- thing I've long suspected. peo- ple spend far too much time going to the doctor. Most doc- tors would probably agree. My wife, who could go 15 rounds with Cassius Clay and not breathe hard, goes to the doctor about twice a month. He says, "Well, you're certainly looking in fine fettle", gives her a bottle of pills and sends her about her business. My experience with doctors has been on two levels, the so- cial and the professional. So- cially, you can't beat them. They like a drink, a good story, good company. Professionally . . . well, let me tell you. Just after the war, the medi- cal profession told me I had tu- berculosis. There was a shadow on my chest X-ray. They pump- ed out my stomach and poked among the horrors exhumed. They vampired blood out of my arm. They sucked marrow out of my breast-bone. Every so often, a specialist in reading X-rays would show me the ((shadow" on my lung. There were about 484 shadows on the X-ray. I'd nod intelligently, though I'll swear it was a dif- ferent one every time. I still think they got a fly- speck on the original X-ray. But I bear them no grudge. This used to happen to me dur- ing the war. We'd be fl y in g formation, on a mission, heads swivelling wildly to watch for German fighters. Suddenly, I'd spot a whole gaggle of the foe and holler over the radio, "En- emy aircraft, above, 10 o'- clock!" After a frantic silence, in which everyone else swept the sky with his eyes, a sardonic voice would announce, "Smi- ley's got oil specks on his wind- screen again." So I forgave the does. In 12 months, they couldn't prove, at least to my satisfaction, that I had TB. But they needed the practice, and I bore no About eight years later, Iliad a very sore back. Could hardly straighten up. I went to a speci- Lucan Businessmen's As- sociation held their third meet- ing of the year at the Lucan Arena, Thursday evening. After a discussion period on what the Ass'n would like to ac- complish in the next year, the following committees were set up: License registration, Jim Davis, Charlie Corbett; Main Street improvement and upkeep, Glen Haskett, Allan Scott; Co- operative advertisement, Steve Storey, Geo Paul, Geo Young; Ass'n bylaws, Geo Thompson, Jack Ready, Jack Radcliffe: It was decided to hold monthly meeting at the arena, on each third Thursday of the month at 8:30.

UC couples group hear march speech I'd like to tell you of the most exciting fertilizer idea I've run across in 30 years of farm reporting. It's an idea that's helping top farmers break through their personal yield barriers to such yields as 130-bushel corn . . 5-ton hay . . . 45-bushel soy- beans .. . 3000-1b. tobacco. The idea is Super Q®, a fertilizer so exclusive you can't even buy it ... But I'm getting ahead of my story: Two years ago a select group of local manufac- turers were stung into action by a disturbing truth. The top farmers were moving faster than their advisers . . . demanding that fertilizer companies improve their scattergun approach to fertility prob- lems. So, these hometown manufacturers pooled their strength in a giant cooperative effort. They called in the best scientific brains, and handed them this "impossible" assignment: I. Develop the best fertilizer it is humanly possible to make. 2. Forget about price-per-ton. But be dead sure this fertilizer will return the farmer more net profit than any other product on the market. We want to guarantee it will, not just talk about it. 3. Formulate it for the top farmers in each com- munity. We'll refuse to sell it to anyone but the top! 4. Rifle it to fit a specific area . . yes, even a specific moisture level. 5. Make a different fertilizer for corn, for barley, tobacco, wheat, soybeans. 6. Use the best form of nutrients for the crop—not the cheapest or easiest for the manufacturer. Wow! Some of those who were called in declared: "You just can't get all those coons up one tree!" But other scientists rose to the challenge. They tested soil and moisture on top farms in each com- munity . . . pored over the latest research . . . an- alyzed new manufacturing techniques, new mate- rials. They picked the brains of ag college special- lists, interviewed top farmers on their personal goals. And then they created Super Q. The Super Q program is a national effort. It has all the efficiency and breadth of bigness . . but with the pinpoint local accuracy to give the individ- ual grower higher yields and profits. In side-by- side tests on hundreds of farms with six different crops, Super Q outyielded the best commercial fertilizers by as much as 25%. Successful as they have been with Super Q, the scientists do not see their job as done. As Dr. Ray Starostka, chief formulator for Super Q, explained to me, "Don't memorize the numbers on a Super Q bag; they'll change the minute we get a new test or technique—or as local conditions demand." I certainly don't want to give the impression that Super Q is a cure-all. On the contrary, it will only be sold to top farmers—the top 20% in yields and management. They'll make Super Q pay off. I surveyed 900 farmers in ten areas, and it was really exciting to hear them talk of their goals. Quite a few told me they were shooting for 200- bushel corn . . . 7-ton hay . 600-bushel potatoes . . 60-bushel soybeans . 3500-lb. tobacco . . . 70- bushel wheat . 100-bushel barley ... 25-ton sugar beets ... 30-ton silage... 135-bushel oats. The Super Q Manufacturers are a select group, jealous of their reputation. Among other things, they must agree to disciplinary action should they fall below the rigid standards. They must pledge to provide soil and crop and management services that will help Super Qfarmers make more profit.
