VERTICAL INTEGRATION NOT NEW IN DENMARK
The idea of vertical inte-
gration has been applied in
many ways by Danish farmers
for nearly 80 years, according
to a survey made by the Inter-
national Federation of Agri-
cultural Producers. The survey
on vertical integration was
sent to all I. F. A. P. member
countries.
Since 1950, co-operatives
dnd private firms in Denmark
lave worked together in nine
export organizations which also
represent members of farmers'
unions. They cover such pro-
ducts as butter, cheese, pork,
beef, eggs, poultry, potatoes,
horses, and breeding animals.
Individually, and in co-
operation with a special market-
ing
arketing board, these export organi-
zations aim at the best possible
market care abroad as well as
on the home market.
People are funny. They
want the front of the bus, the
back of the church, and the
middle of the road.

...the gifts that really help her
to live happily ever after!
Nothing so clearly expresses your best wishes as does the
gift of a beautiful, efficient electric household appliance
... ready to be her constant help in her brand new job
of homemaking. No wonder today's brides-to-be prefer
electric appliances as wedding gifts.
Electricity can help so much in planning a happier, easier,.
better way of life.
To get more out of life ... get the most out of electricity.

FORM GUARD OF HONOUR FOR QUEEN
Fort Henry Guardsmen Making
Canadians Proud in England
By Reg Workman, OWNA Director, Editor Winchester Press
everyone seems to be enjoying
it. Each day until the end of
June the Fort Henry Guard will
perform before thousands of
people jammed in Earl's Court
arena to see this magnificent
show. But great as all the
other entries are in the show,
all eyes will be directed to the
famous Fort Henry Guard from
Kingston, Ontario. As one
chap leaving the arena said the
other evening, "well, the
C'nideens have stolen the show
again."
And they have!
LONDON, England, —The
location is the sprawling, mas-
sive Earl's Court arena in Lon-
don. It is the first day of the
colourful and exciting Royal
Tournament, Ontario's smart
appearing, well trained Fort
Henry Guard from Kingston is
just leaving the huge drill floor
and 16,000 people are cheer-
ing with great enthusiasm for
what they have just seen.
Here before military ex-
perts of all rank, experienced
newsmen, and militia minded
British people, Ontario's Fort
Henry Guard has just stolen the
show with a tremendous present.
ation. In the words of the PA
announcer, "they are absolute-
ly splendid—I can't find words
good enough to describe—Cana-
dians, you should be proud..."
This is the 73rd annual
Royal Tournament at Earl's
Court in London. It is a compe-
tition between the various
services of the British Army,
Navy and Airforce, and Ontar-
io's Fort Henry Guard is the
only "outside" group in the
show. This is the second time
for the Guard to be invited to
Earl's Court. Back in 1956
another group of young univer-
sity students came from Fort
Henry to London town and gain-
ed the admiration of everyone.
Without doubt it will be the
same story again this year—and
Ontario will get an invaluable
amount of excellent publicity
as a result of the Guard being
here.
Each young man (they aver-
age 21 years) is a student
attending one of 14 univer-
sities in Ontario and Quebec.
And each is a public relations
officer for the Province.
Everywhere they go the Guards-
men are asked the same quest-
ions about their origin and
what they are doing here, and
their colourful scarlet, black
and white uniforms with bright-
ly
rightly polished buttons draw the
admirationeveryone.
of
There are 78 members in
the Fort Henry Guard contin-
gent this year, and they have
been brought to the Royal
Tournament by the Ontario
Government and especially the
Ontario St. Lawrence Develop-
ment Commission of which
Fort Henry is a part. Becom-
ing a member of the Guard is
difficult. Applicants are
screened carefully and this
year only one in twenty made
it. In charge is Ron Way, dir-
ector of Historic Research for
the Ontario St. Lawrence
Development Commission,
ably assisted by his industrious
wife, Taffie. Prior to making
the flight over, the Guard had
only a few weeks to prepare,
but they look like a polished
group of veterans now as they
march smartly to their fine
looking, good sounding fife and
drum band.
It's a lot of hard, conscient-
ious
onscientious work for members of the
Guard, but in London there has
also been some play on the
social calendar. Since arriv-
ing by TCA DC8 jet on June
5th, members of the Guard and
other guests of the Ontario
Government have been treated
royally. They have been
guests of the Lord Mayor of
London at Mansion House,
built in 1756. They have tour-
ed
oured the Thames River and the
fabulous Royal docks as a guest
of the London Harbour Com-
mission. They have been
entertained by High Commis-
sioner George Drew at Canada
House, and last week they were
selected to be the only guard
of honour for her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth and the President of
India at the opening of a new
art gallery at the Common-
wealth Institute.
And last week they also
visited historic Windsor Castle
a few miles west of London.
Windsor Castle is a huge grey
stone castle with close to 700
rooms sprawling over 13 acres
of land. It is also the home of
precious antiques and more than
3, 000 paintings of the masters.
In one room alone the Guard
saw paintings worth more than
$2, 000, 000,
The itinerary is hectic, but
Class Party at
Gibson Home
Mr. and Mrs, A. G. Gibson,
John St., opened their home
and spacious lawn to Grade 4
and 5 pupils for a class party at
4 p.m. on Saturday.
After playing games, they
presented their teacher, Mrs.
Webster, with beautiful gifts.
Everyone enjoyed a delicious
barbecue supper of hamburgs,
hot dogs, lemonade, cake and
ice-cream. It was indeed a
gala event.
Money doesn't always bring
happiness. A man with ten
million dollars is no happier
than a man with two million.
