Jack Pym Skis Four Miles on
Trouble Call in Huron Twp.
there he had not yet arrived at
Murdoch's and a search was be-
ing arranged when a call to the
Utilities office told he had ar-
rived, cold and exhausted at
his destination.
"The trouble was located in
a very few minutes and reme-
died almost as quickly, but by
this time dark was descending
on the lakeshore and Mr. Pym
decided to remain at Murdoch's
for the night. During the night
the Huron township plow fought
its way through heavy drifts to
open the road part way and on
Saturday morning Mr. Pym re-
turned to his Kincardine home
with another south shore resi-
dent, Dave Emmerton, who
was the first one to make it out,
travelling south to the eighth

"The trip made by Mr. Pym
was made further difficult byI meet with any possible cause of
the heavy equipment carried to the power failure," •.

Last week's Kincardine News
carried a story about Jack Pym,
a lineman with the P.U.C.
there and a former resident of
Wingham. The story reads as
follows:
"When the power went off
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Bill Murdock last Thursday
night at the height of the snow
storm a call was hurriedly plac-
ed to the Ontario Hydro office
at Wingham.
"Snow blocked roads and
dangerous driving conditions
made it impossible for the Ont-
ario Hydro to get to the farm
house on the tenth concession
of Huron township, so a request
for aid was phoned to the Kincar.
dine Public Utilities office.
"Here lineman Jack Pym
volunteered to make the four
mile trip, suggesting that he
travel on snowshoes. After atry
at these unwieldy items in the
light snow, he set off on skis
despite the fact he had not
skied in almost twenty years.
"Setting out about one -
thirty from Queen and Kincar-
dine Avenue, he arrived at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Row-
cliffe, one mile down the
shore, travelling first on the
road and later along the lake
where he found going easier.
"Two hours after he left

DOES SHUR•GAIN FERTILIZER SPREAD BETTER?
At a quick glance SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer may look very much r
like most other kinds of granular fertilizers—but there is an important difference.
Most ordinary fertilizers and practically all custom blended ones consist of a dry
mixture of fertilizer materials either in powder or granular form.
As a result the different ingredients vary in size and weight. You can compare
it to a handful of ping-pong balls, mixed with marbles. If you throw out a handful
of these, the heavier marbles will travel farther than the ping-pong balls—and that
is exactly what happens with ordinary fertilizers.
When you spread your fertilizer, with a drill or even more important, with any
broadcast -type spreader you can be sure that every particle (from the smallest to
the largest) of free -running SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer is nutritionally
balanced no matter where it lies—assuring you of complete and even intake of all
the plant food by your crops. There are no excesses in one area and starvation in s
another with SHUR-GAIN.
Another good reason why you can be confident of top returns from SHUR-GAIN —
the finest fertilizer for your good earth!
