Telephone 139 Wingham Motors Chevrolet and Oldsmobile Cars Chevrolet Trucks by Harry Lear After a period of wonderful spring- like weather, we find that most of the farmers in Huron County can at last slow down, at least enough to get their breath back, after the rush of spring seeding. Mother Nature was certainly smiling on the farmers this spring (even though market prices are not) and they are now awaiting the rains so necessary for good craps, Dance at Armouries This past week has found our North Huron B. B.'s, taking a social whirl, as we sponsored a very successful dance in the Wingham Armouries on Wednesday evening, April 30th. Gene Dlouhy and his orchestra, which are not as yet too well known in this dis- trict supplied the music to avery ap- preciative crowd of dancing enthus- iasts. It is hoped that we can again sponsor this, orchestra at another Jun- ior Farmers' dance.- (See notice on front page). Chintz Cottage On Friday, May 2nd., our club sponsored the three act play, Chintz Cottage, presented by the Y,P.U. of Londesboro, in the Forester's Hall, Belgrave, to an audience, which al- though smaller than we had hoped for, certainly showed its appreciation, to the actors by its applause. Fol- lowing the play the "Western Five", formerly known as the Junior Farm" ers orchestra, played for dancing, which was very much enjoired by all. 0 0 - 0 Sports As the bowling schedule has now been completed, we find that the top two teams in the Northern group, the Alley Cats (44 points) and the Blow Herds (28 points) will be accompanied into the playoffs by the Lucky strik- es (48 points) and Happy Blowers (39 points), with the play-offs to com- mence very shortly. Even though the bowling is about over there will still be plenty of ath- letic action in our club, as our ball team will be struggling to get into the form which has won for us three county championships in as many years; having won at the Perth-Huron Junior Farmers' field day held in Mit- chell in 1949 and in same competition at Gorrie in 1950. Last year our team won again at the annual Federation of Agriculture field day which was held in Exeter. Until another week this is ygur Junior Farmer editor for the week, reminding you_ of the motto of the Provincial Junior Farmers' Associa- tion, "Self Help and Community Bet- tern-lent." By advertising our club in this way, we are hoping to receive help from new members which will strengthen our club and enable us to go out and help make this the finest community not only in the Banner County of Huron but also the Pro- vince of Ontario. New Brunswick has a 27-ship drag- ger fleet, the largest of its kind in Canada. Voice of the Junior Farmers 1 Picture News from "PAPER PUNCHING" is target shooters' name for their sport, now attracting more and more fans every year. This young marksman, who may someday compete in the National Shooting Matches at Ottawa gets a few tips from an old hand. Shooting enthusiasts say, "Get 'em young" ...believe that boys should be carefully trained in the correct handling of firearms. QUIZ PICTURE of the week is this strange object. Insect? Drift- wood? No, but if you're a farmer, you should recognize it! It's a wheat seedling with a destructive fungus growth. Farmers now apply modern dis- infectants like "Ceresan M" to protect grains against many seed and soil-borne diseases. CONGRATULATIONS, Miss Marguerite Gignac.

There are three points connected with this settlement which, as a present or possible future owner of a Ford Tractor, we want to make clear to you. Regardless of what you may hear to the contrary, these are the FACTS. Seek Combinations For Hanover Hospital A special meeting of the Beard of Trustees of Hanover Memorial Hos- pital was held last week with the chairman of the Beard, Mr. Karl D. Knechtel, in the chair, Mr. Knechtel said in view of the in- terest displayed in the town. and dis- trict regarding the amount of money raised in the present Hospital bad- ing campaign and plans for starting building operations, he felt it would be a wise measure to review the situ- ation as it stands tq date, Mr. T. R, McLennan, secretary- treasurer of the Board, presented the financial report of the campaign, dis- closing that $34,000 had been received to date in cash and $37,000 in pledges, $10,000 of the latter sum 'being payable this year, making a total of $44,000 available for 1952. The County grant of $25,000 will he paid in two sums, $15,000 when build- ing operations begin and $10,000 when the building is completed—$100 has been subscribed by tlie Kinette Club and $500 from the Rotary Club, bring- ing the Building Fund including cash resources at the present time to $60,000. Canvassers are still working on the campaign and letters are being sent out shortly to former residents, under the committee chairmanship of Mr. John Mills, who might care to make contributions. Discussion took place as to the best methods of proceeding, and it was the general feeling of the members of the Board, that the money available at present' was not sufficient to begin the building program at the present time, and it was decided to have the ,building committee, Mr. K. D. Knech- tel, Mayor Winkler, Mr. John Mills and Dr. Hergott, contact the Depart- ment of Health of the Provincial Government to secure information as to the least such sum required for their approval to begin actual building operations. In the meantime this committee will request the architects to draw up specifications in readiness to receive estimates on building, so that no time will be lost, in the future. It is estimated that $50,000 addition- al cash contributions will be necessary before building operations can actual- ly begin. Considerable interest has been ex- pressed as to costs of furnishing rooms 'in the new hospital building and estimates have been received, based on present conditions and sub- ject to change as follows: Private wards $ 560.00 Semi-private wards 820.00 Four bed ward 1100.00 —Hanover Post.

OF INTEREST To Our Present and Future Customers A STATEMENT By Mr. Henry Ford 11 I Ford MOtor Company will continue production of the present I Ford Tractor without interruption, and Dearborn Motors Corporation will continue to market them nationally as in the past. (In Canada, Ford Tractors and Dearborn Farm Equip- ment are marketed by Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, through its 750 Ford-Monarch Dealers.) By the end of 1952, Ford Motor Company has agreed to make two simple changes, and only two changes, in the means of operation and control of a pump used in the hydraulic system in the Ford Tractor. After these simple changes have been made, there is nothing in the settlement of the suit to prevent Ford Motor Company from continuing the manufacture of the present Ford Tractor for as long as it may choose. • Ford Motor Company will continue to produce and Dear- L born Motors Corporation will continue to supply, through its distributors and dealers, all repair parts for all past, present and future Ford Tractors. O Ford Tractors will continue to offer all the advantages of the ▪ present system of hydraulic control, the present method of attaching and operating implements, and all other features respon- sible for their wide popularity. Dearborn Motors will continue to offer its same complete line of implements.

"In normal times Ford Motor Compairy would carry such a suit to a final conclusion in the courts. These are not normal times. Under the circumstances we were glad to get rid of the litigation to avoid the expense, harassment, and fur- ther interference with pur tractor business involved in additional years in the courts. - "The settlement in noway interferes with Ford Motor Company's continu- ing to offer to the farmer the lowest priced tractor with hydraulic control and the present method of attaching and operating implements."
