That's the message of "A Step Ahead", a new motion picture about the many career opportunities available in agri- culture. In the film, which was produced by New Holland Ma- chinery Company, newsman Chet Huntley tells how young people with farm backgrounds have a distinct edge in compe- tition for these jobs. Defining the scope of the agriculture industry, better known as agribusiness, the film emphasizes there are many more job openings than qualifi- ed people to fill them. The situation.is made to order for the boy or girl who many not stay on the farm but still wants to capitalize on his or her back• ground. The choice of occupations for these young people is un- limited. Among the many pos- sible jobs are veterinarians, stock -yard employees, forest workers, county agents and ex- perimental station technicians. People who want to be in business for themselves may decide to be crop dusters, cus- tom farm machine operators, country butchers or farm build- ing renovators. And for those who like to work with their hands, there's a need for farm equipment mechanics and ser- vice men, manufacturing tech- nicians and, even in this day and age, blacksmiths. "A Step Ahead" also de- scribes agribusiness careers for writers, artists and photograph- ers. Teaching opportunities are prevalent in schools, colleges and foreign lands. And young folks who enjoy meeting people may look forward to jobs as equipment salesmen or dealers, farm insurance agents or auc- tioneers. Surveys show at least 15, 000 Free -Flowing . . .Semi -Granular FERTILIZER There's nothing more maddening than to just get started with seeding and then have the fertilizer drill plug up. It's not only exasperating, it's costly too because it takes you longer to do the job, and even more important, some plants get too much fertilizer, others don't get enough. For these reasons we suggest you use Co-op Semi -granular Fertilizer. Guaranteed free-flowing at application time. It is granular in texture. In addition, Co-op Fertilizers are higher in water-soluble phosphates . . important for vigorous early plant growth.

Berry at opening of the March session, The forecast a year ago was for a rise of one mill to maintain the road and bridge program, but a larger - than -expected year-end surplus was a factor in averting the in- crease. In 1963, there was withdrawr drawn from surplus funds $110,000, which was expected to produce a surplus of $16, 899 on a budget of $2,224,334, largest ever for Huron, but at the end of the year there was a surplus of 893, 000.. The roads budget, so far as the county is concerned, am- ounts to $548, 500, less $16,427 from surplus and $10,000 rebate on provincial sales tax, or a net of $522,073 to be raised. The amount to be raised by the county in 1963 was estimated at $533, 000 when the commit- tee reported at the November session.

CUCUMBER SOUP One of the most popular dish es in the Far East and Mediter- ranean countries is a soup made from trepang, or beche-de-mer (sea cucumber).

He also reported that during the year the diesel engine was replaced by electric Motors and a new grinder and roller were installed.

A weigh - buggy was purchased to facil- itate measuring grain when making up mill feeds. Twenty-two members were welcomed this year to bring the total membership to 494. The directors' report was giv- en by C.P. Chamney, who gave the objective for the 50th Anniversary as $500,000.00.

Leslie Bolt reported on Co- operatives Everywhere. Scissors Found in Quilt Operation The alertness of one of the attendants in charge of needles at the Lucknow United Church last week prevented a "relief operation" from being complet- ed and one of the instruments in use, a pair of scissors, from be- ing sewn into the finished pro- duct. Members of the Lucknow United Church Women were in- volved in "operation relief quilts". Two of the morning at- tendants ttendants who set up the oper- ation did not count their instru- ments and a lady on the after- noon crew, probing with her needle, discovered the scissors before the sewing job was com- pleted. Strangely enough, the topic of conversation at the time of thescissors discovery was to do with "doctors and instruments" and the lady who made the dis- covery commented "I wonder who operated on this quilt and left the scissors in it." --Luck- now Sentinel. Even back in the Stone Age, when women wrote down their " ages, they were chiseling. Always work on the future.
