For long-term durability and By GORDON MORLEY Wesley Morley, 85, of West McGillivray passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Earl Lewis on Easter Monday, April 11, after a short illness. He was a retired farmer from Con. 12 McGillivray Township moving to West McGillivray some ten years ago. He was a member and trustee of Brinsley United Church. His wife the former Gertie Aiken predeceased him in April 1962. He was the last of a family of five brothers and three sisters of the late William and MaryJane Morley. Surviving are three daughters and two sons, Harvey; Mrs. Stan- ley Steeper (Marjorie), Mrs. Earl Lewis (Jessie), Mrs. Jack Hodg- son (Marion) and Edwin, all of McGillivray Township. Funeral services were con- ducted by Rev. John Davies from P. Stephenson and Son funeral home, Ailsa Craig, Wednesday April 13 with interment in Mars Hill cemetery. Pallbearers were six grand- sons, Wesley and Paul Hodgson, Donald, Norman and Allan Lewis and Harvey Steeper. F lo we r- bearers were four granddaught- ers, Mrs. G er ald Thompson, Linda and Elaine Morley and Karen Hodgson. PERSONALS Kathleen and Gordon Morley were Sunday visitors with Mr. & Mrs. Eldon Hodgson, Lucan. Mr. & Mrs. Ed. Gackstetter of Exeter visited Sunday with Mrs. Violet Allison.

To ensure the proper selection of paint for each particular sur- face, and the correct method of application, the Paint Industry Council offers the following ad- vice. There are three kinds of sur- faces to be considered on most farms—wood, masonry and met- al. Wood shingles weather best when covered with a special pre- servative stain. Regular wood siding can be covered with top quality exterior paint. prepare wood surfaces carefully. Make any repairs, clean thoroughly, then paint. For the best results follow the instructions on the label. Masonry s r fa c e s, properly prepared and dried, can be coated with a special cement base paint for superior results. Transpar- ent water repellent coatings are available for use on masonry where it is not desirable to use a colored coating. Latex coatings can also be used on nearly all types of masonry. Metals present a slight prob- lem that is easily solved by careful surface preparation. Re- move all traces of rust or cor- rosion with a metal brush. Sand down rough spots. Clean the sur- face thoroughly. Use a primer designed for the metal you are going to cover. Primers increase the life of a final coating and improve the overall appearance. Wait until the primer has dried before applying the finishing coat. In many cases regular exterior house paints can be used for the finishing coat. Before you start the actual painting, gather together all the required equipment. Extra cans for mixing. Paddles for stirring. Rags to clean up splatters. Paint applicators. Use rollers to cover large even surfaces quickly. Large brushes, 2 to 2 1/2 inch, are best for areas where a roller is not practical. Medium and small brushes, 1 to 1 1/2 inches, are best for trim. The choice of color is up to the individual. Remember though that dark colors help to keep a building warm, by absorbing rays from the sun. Light shades re- flect the sun's rays and have a cooling effect on farm buildings during hot summer months. A coat of top quality paint, properly applied, not only en- hances the appearance of your farm buildings and protects them, but can drastically reduce your annual maintenance costs. Test The Canadian Drivers Test, a television program designed to assist Canadian motorists in developing correct, safer driving attitudes, has been acclaimed by the Canadian Highway Safety Council as one of the most impor- tant events in road safety history. The television test will be broad- cast on the CBC networks on May 19, eight to nine p.m. Local Time in English, 10 to 11 in By MRS. J. H.

FUNERAL OF EDGAR LEWIS The obituary of the late Edgar Lewis was reported briefly in last week's issue of the Times- Advocate. The funeral service was con- ducted by Rev. R. G. Jackson of Ailsa,Craig assisted by the:de- ceased's minister in Toronto, Rev. Arthur Brown, in St. Mary's Anglican Church, Brinsley, Thursday, April 21 with inter- ment in St. Mary's cemetery. Pallbearers were six fellow lodge members of Craig AF&AM 574 of which the deceased was a charter member.

Completing his high school education at the age of 16 he was too young to enter London Normal School so went to North Bay Normal. He taught at Meldrum Bay, Mani- toulin, and New Liskeard, North- ern Ontario before enlisting with tional Drivers Test, to be broad- cast on the CBS network May Philip J. Farmer, executive director of CHSC, expressed the belief that for all drivers inter- ested in developing new driving skills and improving old ones, the program will show how to apply defensive drivin g tech- niques to new and different road traffic situations. The viewer will be able to take the test in the Royal Canadian Engineers. Returning from overseas he taught at SS 8 McGillivray and was principal of Ailsa Craig public school. In 1926 he went to Toronto to teach retiring in 1963 although still continuing as a relief teacher. He is survived by his wife, the former Irene Atkinson of Biddulph, one daughter, Mrs. Stu- art (Ruth) Hayward, Toronto, one sister, Miss Hazel Lewis of Mc- Gillivray Twp and two grand- children. A brother Clifford pre- deceased him. PERSONALS Mrs. Will Darling, formerlyof this district, is now a patient in South Huron Hospital, Exeter. She is suffering from a broken shoulder. She had been with her daughter and husband, Mr. & Mrs. Art Erskine, RR 8 Parkhill. Mr. Roy MoRann, has been at his home herd. He had been in the Sarnia General Hospital and with his daughter and son-in- law, Mr. & Mrs. Grant Latimer, Sarnia. his own home and compare his score with the results of the studio audience and the national averages. Mr. Farmer said, "The broadcast is part of a coordinated effort to improve the defensive driving skills of every motorist and to put more safety on the nation's highways." The Canadian Drivers Test will be produced by the CBC in co-operation with the Canadian Highway Safety Council and spon- sored by Shell Canada Ltd. Industries and organizations wishing to participate in the pro- gram can obtain test forms in quantity or a reproduction proof of the form by writing to The Canadian Drivers Test, P.O. Box 2150, Toronto, Ontario. High quality hay can't be pro- duced unless it's cut early, ac- cording to Dr. D. N. Mowat of the Department of Crop Science, Ontario A.gricultural College, University of Guelph. Dr, Mowat explains that as forage matures, its digestibility will drop from approximately 80% to 45% for the late-cut crop. For example, when alfalfa is cut at the recommended late bud stage, it contains about 65% TDN. Seasonal yields of any matter won't be affected when cut at this stage. Next to harvesting, the most important factors affecting hay quality are rain damage and leaf loss. Leaves contain two to three times more protein than the stems and are generally much higher in TDN and carotene. Unfortunately, legumes are par- ticularly susceptible to leaf loss during handling. This loss can be minimized, however, by rak- ing when the forage is still tough —that is, before the leaves have had a chance to dry out. An al- ternative, a windrower, while slowing down the rate of drying, eliminates these raking opera- tions, also reducing leaf loss, "Rain damage often presents a major problem, particularly with the first cutting", Dr. Mowat continues. "However, m ode r n hay-making equipment lessens the chances of rain damage by shortening time of field exposure. Conditioners can increase the speed of drying up to 50% and are a sound investment. Wagon or barn dryers reduce the chance of rain damage. Preser- vation of forage as haylage also reduces time of exposure, "Color and odor are indirect indicators of quality. For ex- ample, moldiness indicates losses of nutrients due to storage at too high a moisture content while a leached appearance indi- cates rain damage. Early-cut hay with moderate rain damage is still better quality than late- cut hay with no weathering." Nobody's opinions are worth- less. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day!
