This man had . been fined eight .thousand dollars for break - Mg the law two or three years ago. His misdemeanor believe believe it nor not, was allowing the farmers in his area to store their extra wheat in the elevator. This extra wait • over the. quota ,allowed by the wheat board or pool. Well Canada has come to quite a state of affairs. It went on to tell that the farmers banded together and helped to pay the fine. • Now weknow that farmers have common sense. This. has been shown right here in Western Ontario where work bees, are still formed to help 'another farmer in distress. They understand: that state- ment "In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eat bread". Canada - -what kind of a country have we got? Next this came 'news story stated that , these same farmers who overstored. beyond the Wheat Pool quota • willbein court next year. • Then all. of us know about the.present strike at Thunder Bay. Would It not be great if our country could get rid of all strikes? If we do not, then . they will ruin Canada. Fortunately in the Ripley uron` area. the T xa►in elevators have no ` such restrictions. Both Mike Snobelen Who operates the grain dryer and elevator on the Fourth.Concession West in Huron township and Jim Scott, two blocks north of Ripley on the 15th road, who operates the Ripley dryer and elevator, are both farmers. Further "those who help them are either farmers or have worked. on farms. Well lasts Friday and Saturday the` "sun carne out making, it possible to again start harvesting.
