BIG SUNFLOWER -Mrs, James McBurney, who lives on
the 6th of Turnberry, wonders whether or not anyone in
the district has a sunflower that can beat this one for
size. The huge head measures 16 inches across and about
52 inches in circumference. For the doubters, it's on

"CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBER"
University Doors Again
Opened by Ont. Truckers
University bursaries totalling
$43,300 have been awarded by
the ATA Trucking Industry Ed-
ucational Foundation.
Foundation members are
practical men. They insist
their bursaries go to young peo-
ple who are otherwise forgotten,
They do not pick students with
the highest marks. All who get
a trucking bursary for the first
time this year have averages
in the lower sixties. They fail-
ed to qualify for government
aid which requires a minimum
average of 66%. The truckers
have been doing this for six
years, filling the gap where
other bursaries and scholarships
fail.
"We like to know we're
really helping", says Robert D.
Grant, Toronto, Chairman of
the Foundation. "For example,
take the boy we'll call 'Fred'.
There are nine in his family.
Last year his father, a laborer,
earned $2,100. 'Fred', 18,
ready for university, averaged
nearly 64%. Not a brilliant
student, but his high school
principal thinks he can make it,
so our Foundation is backing
this boy. He's getting a $500
bursary this year, and if he
passes he will get $500 each
year until he graduates."
"Experience has taught us
that you can rightly hope for
great things from these people
in the low sixties. Several of
our Bursary Students graduated
with honours."
The "Christmas in Septem-
ber" bursary program got its
name and money when Ontario
trucking executives took a long
hard look at their companies'
Christmas gift giving to cus-
tomers. They stopped it and
diverted the money into the
bursary plan. They didn'tlose
any business. Now, for over
six years, hundreds of students
have gained from the bursaries.
The Trucking Industry Foun-
dation stipulates no require-
ments concerning courses or
future employment. " W e
don't want strings on anyone...
all we care about is that they
pass!" says Mr. Grant.
Most do pass, and year by
year the list of continuing burs-
aries grows. Also growing is
the list of trucking companies
participating in the program.
This September 58 students
received bursaries; 31 of these
are new awards to Grade 13
graduates.
Sixteen Ontario degree
granting colleges and univer-
sities also help carry on the
work of the Trucking Founda-
tion. $19, 800 has been made
available to them for distribu-
tion at their sole discretion to
RESOURCE RANGERS from nine of 11 districts in Ontario
and representatives from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia
and Quebec attended a week's leadership training camp
at the Albion Hills Conservation School early this month.
Those who attended from the Maitland Club were Robert
Corrigan, Terry Johnson, Robert Armstrong, Brian Mc-
Burney and Bruce Cameron. -Photo by Sharp.

about 135 students.
While across Canada, argu-
ments resound about the high
costs of education for all, Foun-

are able to solve the problem
for many students by transfer-

UNTUTORED TUNESMITHS
Two of America's rnostpro-
lific and popular songwriters re-
ceived virtually no musical
training. Irving Berlin and Ste-
phen Foster attained popularity
in their respective periods
through a simple, sincere ap-
proach to fundamental human
emotions, Stephen Foster wrote
about 200 songs, of which
about 50 are worthy of preser-
vation.
GROANING STONE
The Lia Fail, or Stone of
Destiny, according to legend,
was a stone at the Hill of Tara
on which the kings of Ireland
were traditionally crowned.
Brought to Ireland in prehistoric
times by the magic folk, the
Lia Fail was reputed to groan its
approval whenever a worthy
king rode across it, It has been
silent since the dawn of the
Christian era.

Continuing Alert
Now that the youngsters are back in school, I hope
that Wingham drivers will not relax the caution they've
been exercising during the summer months. True enough,
the children aren't out during most of the day, but they
ARE out on the way to and from school, and during the
"lunch flour." (And in total quantities, such as they never
were during the holidays). And then again, there's a new
crop of little ones who are just starting school and haven't
had too mudh experience in protecting themselves from
senseless or careless drivers.
I cringe when I read stories of cars jumping the side-
walk and killing or maiming people Who just happened
to be there. A little four-year-old girl was killed in this
kind of accident near Montreal last month, and her young
mother had to have a Ieg amputated. I'm sure none of us
ever wants to read of such a terrible tragedy happening
in Wingham.

Colour TV
The day of colour TV in Canadian homes is still around
the corner, but when it comes, the Bell will be ready to
play its part. Only a few weeks ago, at the Canadian
National Exhibition in Toronto, RCA Victor demonstrated
its colour TV equipment by operating the first closed-
circuit colour TV network in Canada, and Bell facilities
were used to carry the signals to the television sets located
at various points throughout the fair grounds.
You may .already know that the Trans -Canada Tele-
phone •System, of which the Bell is a member, carries TV
from coast to coast for both the CBC and CCTV networks.
It's also nice to know that the transmission facilities now
Lin use for black and white programs are already of such
a high standard that they could .handle colour with only
minor modifications. That's worth a pat on the back,
don't you think?

Have you heard about the Chinese scholar who was
giving a lecture when all the lights in the room went out?
He asked the people in the audience to raise their hands.
As soon as they complied, the lights went on.
"This proves the wisdom of the old Chinese saying,"
he said: "Many hands make light work."
