U1C1 COUPLES' CLUB
ENTERTAINS GUESTS
Thirty couples were in atten-
dance last Wednesday evening
When the Presbyterian Couple's
.Club was entertained by the United
Church club, at the latter church.
afr and Mrs. Ray (away were .
in charge .of a short warship ser-
vice and Mrs. George Guest wel-
comed the visitors. Mr. Quest
conducted a brief business meeting
and announced that the next meet-
ing would be held on, November 28.
Wilford (aslick introduced the
guest speaker, Vaughan Douglas,
who described conditions in Rus-
sia, as he found them on a recent
visit to that country. The tour he
took was for the express purpose
of studying agricultural methods
end. the marketing of farm pro-
duce in other countries.
Mr. Douglas stated that the
film he brought back was the first
of its kind to be taken by a Ca-
nadian, and the audience had the
privilege of viewing it. There are
many hardships and few luxuries,
but they found the people friendly.
They were amazed to find that so
many people could speak Bnglish.
An interesting part of their visit
was a plane trip of 1,100 miles in
one stretch, when they got a 'goal
bird's eye view of the countryside.
It was a clear day and they noted
that there were many parks and
monuments. The scenery was
beautiful.
The property is owned by the
state. One farm produced eleven
thousand acres of corn and 3,500
acres of sugar beets. The people
are assigned to their own jobs and
a person that' works in the sugar
beet fields has no part in growing
or harvesting crops of any other
kind. Women work at the sane,
farm labor as men,
The churches are being turned
into museums. There are only nine
churches in Moscow, a city with
a population of eleven million. On
one of the tours a guide was par-
ticularly anxious that they should
, enter to see the beautiful paint-
ings and interior decoration, The
visitors were most hesitant as
there was a service in progress,
but the guide ushered them in and
continued his comments in a loud
voice with no regard to the people
Who were worshipping,
At one of the more luxurious
homes they visited, that already
had a TV, refrigerator, etc., they
were told that the people had
enough money saved to buy a ear
but there were 3,000 names ahead
of them on a waiting list.
Children go to school from 9 to
12.30 six days a week, While the
lack of Christianity is very evi-
dent, it was interesting to note that
Sunday is still set apart from the
other days of the week, and people
do not work on Sunday.
Bill Willis thanked the speaker
and Bob MeKague offered courtesy
remarks to the host club. Rev.
T. G. Hussey closed the meeting
'with prayer and lunch and a sbeial
.time followed.
Those in charge of the meeting
were Mr. and Mrs. Ray Gbwdy,
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Willis, Mr. and
Mrs. George Guest, Mr. and Mrs.
Wilford Casliek and Mr. and Mrs,
Murray Taylor.
Large Attendance
At Ladies' Auxiliary
Mrs. Robert Casemore, vice-presi-
de-at of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the
Canadian Legion, presided last
Wednesday evening for the month-
ly meeting.
Mrs. Mae Peaehey was initiated
into the auxiliary. Mrs. Ted Tang-
lish was the winner of the monthly
membership draw and Mrs. Bill
Renweate5won the draw for a
bushel of apples.
Mrs. V. Dueharme gave a report
on the zone sports tournament for.
the coming season. It was report-
ed that a euchre will beeluad the
middle of November.
There were 53 ladies at the meet-
ing, which was quite a bit above
average and probably the largest
attendance on record for this
branch,

BEEF MARKETING

gram learn a lot More about the

with the business. Take the recent
experiences of some Rainy River
aistriet 4-N'ers.
Agrieulteral Representative Dick
.Heard reports buyers for one big
fend chain paid from 18c to 30e per
pound for 43 steers offered by dis-
trict 4-II members this fall. The
members "learned four pretty im-
portant lessons" from this sale. '
First, they were impressed with
the tact that yon can't nut anything
over on the buyers. Heard explains:
"Someone got into the cattle pens

turned on the water taps, Some

steers that weren't so full, While
It was unfortunate the watering'
happened (not so bad as it sounds
since the full steers' loss in price
was partially offset by gain in
weight), it turned. out to he a reel
lesson".
The next lesson learned: to bring
top prices, the cattle must be really
well fleshed and well finished, Two
ahampion calves sold for ,,$28 and

$30; the rest ranged between $18
and $24.10. Comments Heard: "In
comparison with the other 'killer
steers' many of the 4-al steers were
not fat enough to bring top prices
and thus sold for As. To bring top
prices, the calves had to be good.
Common and medium cattle, other
than 4-H calves, were selling in the
$14 to $18 range".
Third, the boys and girls were
impressed with the way calves were
cared for. The pens were clean and
well-bedded. Good water was avail-
able and there was lots of hay in'
the racks.
Finally, what about this business
of shrink?
"I don't doubt that usually

ing process and perhaps foe An

agricultural representative. "But.
two Ema clue members reportel
that their olives each weighed 100
pounds more' than they expected.
It seems a little human handling
will keep down the weight loss".

tore both by high hopes arid deep
fears. They had saved what seemed
to them a considerable amount of
noney, and after a joyous reunion
vith their families, they set out to
make their dreams came true. Mis-
fortune dogged their lonely foot-
steps. They had hoped to see much
of the country travelling with a
trailer. They purchased a beautiful
but badlya eonstructed one' and were
confronted with actual danger and •
much expense. Of necessity, be-
ause of the social stigma imposed
by their disease tit is akin to the
Biblical leprosy) they remained
aloof from people and thus en-
dured many hours of lonely heart-
ache. They were both vulnerable
.to infection and incapable of heavy*
work and yet because of the gap
of twenty years in their lives they
tacked, working experience and ref-
erences. -- this made employment
doubly difficult to obtain.
Now, partly because of Betty's.
book and other publicity issuing
from. Carville, the feeling and legis-
lation regarding Hansen's disease
has changed. It is a source of deep
satisfaction to Betty that she has
been able to help others but only
faith and determination assisted
them. We are kept aware of the
Vality of the Martins' isolation.
••B•oth had suffered greatly upon the
discovery of their affliction, even
at . the helots of the doctors who
made the diagnosis. The horror
thus engendered had coloured their
ttitude forever.
This hook gives a magnificent
insight into the hearts.- and minds

final chapter speaks for itself: "Ali
