And then of course there were other interruptions - like having to scratch for 10 minutes after sitting down wind from the combine. Having your body covered with barley "beards" is a very itchy situation. I used to get other jobs on the farm, too. But looking back, I wonder sometimes if I wasn't just being used. My father would hire a gang of five or six people to hoe weeds in an onion field, He'd line everybody up, and get us started at one end of the field. I was always sent down a row directly in the middle of the group. Now I know why. It seems as if the group always worked a little faster when they knew that the "boss's daughter'' was right in their midst. If I had known what a benefit I was, I would have asked for a raise. Fall is always the nicest time on a farm. It was en- joyable seeing the wagon loads full of potatoes and onions rolling into the storage every afternoon. But as any farmer knows, the wagons don't always roll in smoothly. I remember riding home on the school bus one sunny October afternoon. Just as the bus was nearing my home, there was a lot of commotion on the road ahead. Here was one of my Dad's bulk wagons ' filled with potatoes 'Precariously sitting on three wheels in the middle of the highway. He had been turning into our driveway when the wheel had come off, and half of his heaped up load had spilled out on the pavement. Cars were stopped in both directions and the wagon was being jacked up. My first thought was that all the kids on the bus would be angry at being held up - it was such a nice day and everyone wanted to get home to play. I also thought I would take a lot of teasing when I had to get off the bus and pick up all the spilled potatoes while the rest of them sat and watched me. But when I started to pick up the potatoes scattered on the road and put them in a bushel, the bus driver had an idea. He told all the kids to get off and help pick up the potatoes too, while he worked with the men to get the wagon moving again. Suddenly I was a hero. This was a great adventure. Never before had the bus driver let the pupils off the bus before they got to their stop. I passed out bushels and soon all the stray potatoes were picked up. The kids had a lot of fun helping out. I imagine there were a lot of mothers wondering why their children had such dirty hands when they got home that day.

This game gave them two wins in a row over Nairn, and their first league championship. Early in the game the Colonials were down four to one. It was Kevin Simmonds who opened the scoring for the Colonials. But, by the end of regulation play, Dave Nolan had scored twice and Simmonds had added another to tie the points 4 to 4 with Nairn. Then in overtime play Damages low in Port Franks car crash Damage was relatively low in a two vehicle accident in Port Franks last Thur- sday. Both cars were driven by people of that community. A vehicle driven by Dianne Gratton of Nipigon Street, Port Franks was in collision with a vehicle driven by Randall B. McKinlay also of Port Franks. Damage to the Gratton vehicle was estimated at only $20, and to the McKinlay vehicle at $500. There were no injuries. A total of 20 highway traffic act charges were laid during the week of October 14 to 20. This figure is down considerably from the 95 speeders that were charged the previous week, when radar was used. Five people were charged under the liquor licence act, and one charge was laid under the narcotic control act. One break and enter was investigated and one im- paired driver was charged. Dave Nolan again scored twice, and Pete Backx put the icing on the cake with a single. This gave the game a final score of 7 to 4, and the Colonials a league trophy. The beautiful Indian summer weather over the weekend must have really helped farmers with their harvest. This year harvest for me consisted of shaking up a few marigolds in my flower bed to save the seeds for next year. Going out with a little Baggie and gathering in a few small flower seeds may not be in the same category as greasing up a 22 foot wide combine to go over a few hundred acres of corn, but I think it almost gives you the same feeling of satisfaction. Several years ago I used to take a more active part in the harvest - usually under protest. But there was one job that I never complained about very much. That was in late August when my father was combining barley. It usually took Dad three or four rounds with the combine to fill the hopper with grain. Then it was my job to drive a tractor and wagon under the spout so that the hopper could empty into the wagon. The rest of the time I could sit on my comfortable tractor seat in my bathing suit and read books. That summer I was "into" Nancy Drew, and I got the best tan I ever had. Unfortunately just as I would reach the best part of the story, my Dad would be yelling at me because I hadn't been watching and Last Friday evening the W.C.G. (Women of the Church of God) held a Thanksgiving supper with 100 attending. A short devotion was conducted by Rev. John Campbell before the meal. After the delicious supper, and while the kitchen clean up and dishes were done, some of the adults ac- companied children and youths to the Public School gym for recreation and games. • At the close of the evening Mr. and Mr. James Snyder, recently married, were presented gifts and best wishes from Church of God congregation. Following the funeral service of Harold Cham- berlain, Sunday afternoon, Church of God ladies served lunch and refreshments to family, friends and relatives.

Women's Institute meet Twenty nine members, neighbours and friends gathered Thursday evening for the October Women's Institute meeting held in the United church S. S. rooms. Roll call was answered by "Name a kindness shown to you by a neighbour or a friend." Janis Peckitt gave "Did you know?" and talked on tooth decay. She told us dentistry became a profession around 1840, Gold bridge teeth work have been found in ancient ruins in Italy dating back to before 500 and 600 B.C. In U.S.Aone half of all three year olds have at least one cavity. Over 96 out of 100 high school students have decayed teeth. A few of your own teeth are BOA betfer than dentures. Tooth decay is the most common disease of man. President, Brenda Love, conducted the business portion of the meeting. The Topic was Public Relations with a theme of friends and neighbours. Motto was Just to work a little harder for other people's good. And to show a bit more friendship, my friends that's brotherhood. Annie IVIorenz commented on this with two poems, "Your Neighbour" and "Faithful friends."
