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, N N a itt N IN E N S H O ME M EN N I a ifs NNI NN NN RI Ne n n n N NN n Nil n N a a a n Na nu Black Knights Honor Officer at Clinton' Huron County Royal Black held a testimonial banquet in North St. United Church recreation ball, Clinton, on Friday evening, October. 21st in honor of the Grand Master of Ontario West, R.W.

OF BEEF MARKETING Boys and girls who feed out beef :steers under their 4-H pro- gram learn a lot More about the beef business than first meets the eye. Not only de they get an insight ' into Showmanship and feeding, they get u first-hand look at some of the ricky market problems associated. 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 before we did Monday morning and turned on the water taps, Some steers took a good drink. These steers when presented ,for sale in. the auction ring brought le to 2e. a pound less than quite similar 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 • .Grand Mistress of the Chrystal Chapter of British America; Sir Ht. William Carruthers, of Strat- ford and Wilfred Castles of Bay- field. $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 '1,••• • ' cattle do lose weight in the market- ing process and perhaps foe An 800 ;pound animal, a an-pound shrin can lie expected," says the 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".

It vas built in hanlisiena because thera is the highest ineidenve of alansee'a disease in that state of the United States. The tip of Fiore hitt and. a small part of Tiecas also have a ember of eases reported. Of late, • California has had its eamee but there is reason ko believe at most of its cases are among immigrants who were incubating the bacilli when they entered the state. The. first awls told of one, Betty Parker qud another, Harry 'Martin; who both entered Carville at about the same time under shin. ilar circumstances, They married and after twenty years were dis- charged as cured, Betty and Harry left Carville 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 f these people. Betty's plea in the final chapter speaks for itself: "Ali we ask now is to be allowed to con- tinue as we are in the small securi- ty of our home. We plead for that and we are always afraid. "I must remember in writing ers alWays to be careful which Lame to sign, never to use the name of Betty Martin ex,.. pt with trust- friends, never to refer to Car-• vale. to guard against slips of speeela and to keep hidden the book that holds our life story.
