Those were not the characteristics that prompted us to put Royden on our staff. We wanted a man that could work all day in the heat, and then with perspiration pouring from his brow, turn to a customer and offer a genuine smile. In fact all our staff has this same ability. We knew that this was some- thing that our customers wanted and is so often lacking in todays modern approach to business. We still have the modern approach, but we guarantee FRIENDLY SERVICE AT CFS.

CREDITON FARM SUPPLIES BETTER THAN ALL THE REST --- 234-6459 FEEDS AND CONCENTRATES SUPPLIERS OF Formers may get accounting service plans are going ahead on a program to provide accounting service for Ontario farmers. The service, which will be set up by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, would prepare the farmers' income tax returns, do his bookkeeping, and analyse his operations by data processing. Plans for the service, which are currently being worked out by the Federation's executive and staff, were re-affirmed Thursday at the June meeting of the OFA members. The plans call for the account- ing service to be set up and co- ordinated by the provincial feder- ation. Among other functions, the provincial group would arrange for data processing of the in- formation from farms across the province for the operations analysis. The whole package would be offered to any county federation that could sign up enough farm- ers to make a workable unit. Though tt*e is much planning yet to do, current proposals call for each particip,s.ting county to hire one bookkeekkk-fieldre an for each 100-150 farmers signed up. The fieldman would visit each of the farmers regularly to work on his books, gather the inform- ation needed for the farm analy- sis, and explain what the analy- sis results meant when they came back. Parts of this program are similar to the system in effect in Great Britain, where girls go around and visit each farm once a month for half a day to bring the paper work up to date. The number of visits the field- man would make to each farm is expected to be flexible, depend- ing on the size and nature of the farm, and the particular needs of the farmer involved. In the original resolution, passed by a members' meeting two months ago, it was speci- fied that the program was to be set up in consultation with other public and governmental bodies engaged in such work. Parts of this service are avail- able already to the provie's farmers from a varietyof Received invite for dam opening Some drought-stricken farm- ers in Western Canada were among the happiest of the 20,000 people attending Friday's open- ing of the Gardiner Dam at El- bow, Saskatchewan. The $200,000,000 dam was named after a native of this area, the late James G. Gardiner, a former premier of Saskatchewan and a former federal agricultural minister. Mrs. George Allen, a sister of Mr. Gardiner, was extended an invitation from the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan to attend the event, but was unable to do so. The reservoir behind the dam has been named in honor of Op- position Leader John Diefenbak- er. Initially, 200,000 acres of arid wheat-farming land in central Saskatchewan will be irrigated from the Diefenbaker Lake reser- voir and, with advances in ir- rigation technology, this figure may go as high as 400,000 acres. Hydro-electric power from the dam is to be 400,000 horsepower, equal to one-third the province's total 1963 hydro output, The lake will also serve re- creational needs. The dedication ceremonies constituted a major centennial celebration for Saskatchewan citizens. Farm safety — Continued from page 12 Being his own maintenance man, he is apt to overlook neces- sary repairs or clean-ups. A little oil or grease on a tractor step, a loose or cracked rung on a ladder, and so many other so-called little things, if ignored, can lead to serious and expensive falls. Neither is the farm home ex- empt. It is no different from its counterpart in town. Haste and negligence cause many falls. People are in too much of a hurry to pay proper attention to their surroundings or to bother to pick things off the floor or stairs. Plain good housekeeping, says the League, will eliminate m aj or causes of falls, The following positive steps will go a long way toward re- ducing the possibility of death or injury-producing falls: Repair broken steps and stair rails promptly. Weather-proof outdoor steps and porches. Keep ladders in good repair. See that they are placed on a firm footing and at a safe angle. Move the ladder instead of over- reaching. Fasten rugs securely. Polish waxed floors evenly to a high gloss. Wipe up spills immediately. Provide adequate lighting in halls and on stairs. Keep a night light burning in or near the bath- room. Install grab-bars and rubber mats in the bathtub and shower, 44 Pay particular attention to. these elementary fall hazards," urges the League. "If you haven't already done so, Farm Safety Week is the right time to start." sources, but it is reported that most don't use them. The farmer can get his income tax figured out—for a price.-by any of a number of firms spec- ializing in this, most, of which have headquarters in the south- western part of the province. These firms however do little or nothing to set up the farm- er's books so he can use them for any other purpose. Commented a spokesman for the Federation, ',many farmers have to turn to their local lawyer to get their tax return drawn up. Most often, they don't even try to get a professional to do their books." The same spokesman said farmers "will never be able to get an equal footing with man- agers of comparable businesses until they have professionals do- ing their bookkeeping." In the area of farm operations analysis, the only major source of help for the farmer is the service provided by the Uni- versity of Guelph. It is reported that this service is used only by a small number of farmers.

Huron County Council, at its last Session in Goderich, at- tempted to "clear up' any umis- understanding" that might have existed during the time of the tor- nado which hit the southern parts of the Counties of Huron and Perth this spring, and to "clar- ify" the role of EMO in the County., a Everett McIlwain, Goderich chairman of the Ward- sPersonnel Committee, Township, e n n charged with the responsibility of clarifying what seemed to be a murky situation, told the coun- cil that even in committee there did not seem to be full agree- ment as to the status of Emer- gency Measures Organization in the County of Huron. "The members of the com- mittee feel that we should clarify our stand in this county, and hope the newspapers publish a full report of this for the information of the ratepayers of the county", he declared. "There was a little misunder- standing during the time of the tornado, and there was some crit- icism of the County of Huron. We think this should be cleared up with a statement of policy. The committee report, as sign- ed by Mr. McIlwain and adopted unanimously by county council, was as follows: "The committee feels that the functions of the Emergency Meas- ures, as far the County of Huron is concerned, should be clarified to avoid any misunderstanding. "Basically, the county stayed in the Emergency Measures pro- gram to avoid having to repay monies to the Province of On- tario for equipment which was on hand. When it was decided last year to curtail the Emergency Measures program, the initial thought was to disband the or- ganization completely; however, upon further investigation, it was discovered that a more reason- able approach would be to curtail the program but at the same time to appoint an Acting Co-ordinat- or. "As it stands at the present time, the Emergency Measures department has a small amount of equipment which could be made available under certain circum- stances. This equipment is very limited in scope. "However, one feature of re- taining this organization, allows for possible assistance through other channels. In the event of an emergency it is possible that as- sistance can be secured through the Emergency Measures Branch. On the other hand, as was the case recently, assistance was secured through the efforts of our Huron County Road Department." The committee's policy was outlined in the report: 'The committee feels that in future, when an emergency arises where outside assistance might be required, the reeve of the municipality or a responsible of- ficial, should contact the Warden; the Warden, in turn, should con- tact thb Acting Co-ordinator to determine what action, if any, can be taken. "As arrangements stand at the present time, only the Warden has authority to take necessary action regarding an emergency. The Warden, at the same time, will instruct the Co-ordinator as to what functions he is to carry out or what other duties he is to continue. -Another factor in favour of retaining the Emergency Meas- ures program was to allow the continuance of Auxiliary Police. Some of the municipalities are taking advantage of this program. The main benefit of carrying out the Auxiliary Police pr ogr am through the Emergency Measures Organization, is to allow for sub- sidy on purchasing uniforms, etc. "There is one other point with regard to the Emergency Meas- ures Organization is that when funds are available, certain fire- fighting equipment can be secured through the Emergency Measures Branch. At present, however, all provincial funds for this program have been spent and there will be no further allocation for a year or two. Acting Co-ordinator for the Emergency Measures program is County Clerk-Treasurer John G. Berry, who was appointed by County Council where the EMO program in the Huron County was curtailed.
