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.

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.

Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, June 27, 1963 — Page 3 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.
