He was awarded first prize for his calf. On Saturday, September 4, his great, great, great granddaughter Janice Needham, also on the 10th con., although her parents were going to a funeral, decided that she would like to show at the Kin- 'cardine fall fair. She loaded four Holsteins and with the help of a.novice she washed and got them fitted to show. Showing against two other herds she got junior and reserve grand champion. On September 17 she and her father Jim attended the Holstein day at the Western Fair in London. Here show- ing a strange calf she placed second in Junior Showman- stulo in a strong class.

Pelee Island, nine miles long and six miles wide, is themost southerly populated land in Canada and is on the latitude of nor- thern California. So its longer, growing season makes it ideal for the grow- ing of many acres of the finest soybeans. Norm reports that Lake Erie was rough as it often is at this time. Hence the fishing was not very good. However he had a beautiful trip and ar- rived back in Ripley late Sunday night.
