The Wingham Advance-Times, 1952-06-25, Page 10Agriculture and Canadian Indus- tries was the theme for the Fordwich W, I. meeting, when members met at the home of Mrs. Crosby Sothern. The guest speaker, Mr. M. Woolcox, manager of our local Carnation Milk plant, was Introduced by the Pres., 1frs. H . Harris. He explained the processing of our milk from the time it leaves the farm, to the familiar red and white can with the carnation, on the grocer's shelf. He also gave the history of the company from its humble beginning to its present prom- inence. Cook books, compliments of the Carnation Milk Co., were distri- buted. Mrs. Fred Hambly gave re- cipes and served samples of candies made with Carnation Milk, The roll call---"Name your favorite house plant". The exchange of slips brought forth a variety of plants such as house plants, vegetables, AUTHORIZED STRAIN FILTER COOL IN ONE OPERATION adkahoWhe -Surge FILTER COOLER Inquiries Invited Lovell H.

The Fanning Mill by Sob Carbert The other day I read in the news- paper that some chap engaged in con- struction work, had a narrow escape from instant death when a large 17 ton bulldozer passed over his body, clown at the Fanshawe dam. He, like the hired man who forgot about the billy goat, made the bad mistake of turning his back. Which brings us up to the topic that I would like to dis- cuss today,—Farm Safety, Just be- cause this follow was able to survive this accident, is no reason why all who own tractors should go out and invite their machines to run over them, too. We have too many people openly inviting this type of accident, every day. There are too many people flaun- ting the laws of nature, and trying their best to get their necks or those of their children, well and perma- nently broken. It seems that about every two or three days, you'll find some daily paper with a picture of a child riding a tractor or some other such power machine. Usually, this picture is accompanied by the caption, "Daddy's little helper," or some other such foolish statement. They usually tell how many acres these children have plowed, how many years they have driven the tractor, and how adept they are in handling these machines. But, on one of the other pages, you'll always find stories of accidents involving children and ma- chinery. We could name dozens of children that have been killed, permanently crippled, or seriously injured during the past twelve months in this very same manner. They have either turn- ed over tractors when an emergency arose, and they didn't react quickly enough, or they fell off machines operated by their fathers, or older children, They have suffered broken arms, broken legs, crushed pelvis, fractured skulls, and numerous other painful, disfiguring injuries. These should all be lessons to fathers and mothers; warnings that it can happen to you or your children. Like the old saying, "There is no use crying over spilt milk," there is no use feeling sorry after these injuries occur, the suffering, all the disfigurement and all the time lost, can never be re- placed or wiped out. Don't take a chance this year, or for that matter any year, It's too big a risk to take, after all you are gamb- ling with Your life or those of your children, Those stakes are too high. Don't allow children around tractors or other such power equipment, They don't realize the danger, and can be wound up in power takce.offs, or run Over by implements, in an instant. Re- member, .all accidents can be prevent- ed, they don't just happen, they are caused and in 99% of the cases, they are caused by human error or care- reasness. GATGOES 2 LB. BULL, PROD There has to be e "first" in every- thing, and we think probably to Ken Hadley, 9th line of Morris Township, goes the credit for catching the first bull frog =the daddy of them all. Ken was fishing in a creek near the township hall in Morris on Saturday afternoon and something heavy took hold of the hook. Ken at first thought he had caught a turtle, but when he landed his catch, it surely must have been the largest bull frog that any-- body in this community has seen, Realizing this, Ken took it home and it tipped the scale at exactly two pounds, Stretching it out, Ken laid it on a rule, and from the tip of its nose to its toes the green monster measured 18 inches. He had it in town in a box on Saturday night and brought it in to the office for us to see. We refused, however, to display it publicly in the window. We feared it might jump • and break the glass, or frighten the customers from the store, We're won- dering if it's Mr. Bointon's frog, "Mc- Dougall" on the "Our Miss Brooks" program, taking laid summer yam, t1.04. We don't know what its fate will be. The men were all for having a meal pf frog legs, but Mrs. Hadley dreaded the thought of killing so much frog just for the legs, Perhaps "McDougall" is back in a stream again, enjoying himself,— Blyth Standard. COON HUNTERS HOLD TRIALS At the last meeting of the Saugeen Valley Fox and Coon Hunters Assoc., they decided to hold membership trials from then until the regular open trials this fall. The first of these was held on Saturday, June 14th, at the farm of Elmer Webber, South East of Durham. Around thirty mem- bers were present, and fifteen dogs competed for the prizes, Which were won by dogs owned by Mark Wilson, Elmer Webber, Cyril Becker and Foss Watt. The next trial will be held over the same course on Saturday, June 28th.—Hanover Post. Mount Forest Mari Killed Mr. Tom Wallace, one of Mount Forest's most highly respected resi- dents, died in Louise Marshall Hospi- tal on Tuesday morning of multiple injuries suffered in a truck collision late on Monday afternoon. The eollision between a light truck in which he was riding to Hamilton, and a northbound Hanover Transport occurred at the north end of the narrow ,'Smoky Hollow" bridge, span- ning a small stream at the base of a bill about seven miles south of Mt. Forest, Mr. Wallace, who was in his 56th year, was a passenger in the truck, said by police to have been owned and driven by Mr. Elmer J. Fyfe of Birmingham, St., en route to Hamil- ton to pick up a load of window sash- es and other supplies for Mr. Wal- lace's extensive carpentry business. His companion esdaped with shock and lacerations. The transport driver, Mr. Carl Spitzig of Walkerton, also escaped serious injury ,although both vehicles were wrecked. The small truck was spun around by the impact. Both occupants were • thrown out. The transport continued on for some distance, careened into the ditch and rolled ever, This was the first bad accident of the year at the bridge which all mot- orists consider a hazard. At the bridge a wide, smooth two-lane highway nar- rows to one,—Mount Forest Confed- erate. • Buy Out of Income— See Your Dealer for a "Time-Payment" Plan gtOgieteeee •••••••eeie.4y ,411611) //if THE LOW-PRiCE RE40/ GREAT viraVemec 20 HP.
