Living it up at Day Centre
AILSA CRAiG - Just as prom-
ised, the Seniors at the Craigwiei
Day Centre have been living it up
with all kinds of summer -activities!
To tickle your fantasies, what
could be more pleasant on a sunny
summer day than riding along the
streets in a 1930 Model A Ford Sta-
tion wagon, minus the side cur-
tains, getting the full benefit of the
weather and scenery? With Doug
Langs as our gallant driver, we were
royally escorted around town and
carne back. to the Centre ready to
share memories of the first cars we
either saw, owned or remembered.
Of course back then, the novelty
-of the new-fangled machines some-
• times puzzled new owners in their.
first attempts at actual operation.
We heard of one gentleman who.
drove right on through town with
his head held high rather than admit
`ac didn't know how to stop.it. Only
after discovering that necessary bit
of information in the country did he
return to town. Not so another new
owner who yelled "Whoa" in in-
creasing volume while desperately
trying to bring his vehicle to a halt!
. Someone remembered paying 250
for a short ride at the Bend, while
still another, offered a ride away
from home on the way home from
school, felt it worth the long walk
back even though it:meant taking
turns at carrying a disabled friend.
With all this reminiscing we also.
learned something else - just how
young some unnamed persons real,
ly arc!! .
The two occasions we had
planned day trips, turned out to be
the hottest of the summer so, versa-
tile as we are, we made like turtles,
pulled our heads back into our air -
conditioned "shell" .and had fun
right here.
We have ventured out, though,
on nicer days, for picnics at Spring -
bank Park, Shady Pines and at Beth
Brcimer's farm. At Springbank we
had a pair of young raccoons ob-
serving us from a nearby tree. We
suspect they were impatiently
awaiting our departure to see what
we had left behind, but we took our
time enjoying the outdoors and
watching their antics as we ate. No
other creatures save corn beetles
joined us for our other picnics, but
the pleasant surroundings and open
air made them days to remember.
The Parkhill Chapter of the
O.E.S. generously donated $200 for
a cart to hold our ceramic supplies.
Clark Hodgins, Worthy Grand Pa-
tron of Ontario, and his wife Doris,
Grand Organist of Ontario, accom-
panied Florence Campbell, Worthy
Matron -of Parkhill O.E.S. to make
the official presentation. We are so
thankful for both the cart and the
spirit in which the donation was
made.
In the past we've travelled to
many faraway exotic places through
Evelyn McNaughton's slide presen-
tations. This month through her
photography we rediscovered some
quite exotic places right here in On-
tario! In fact the sunsets out her
west door are breathtakingly beauti-
ful! We even saw her floating above
her farm during one. Was it sheer
ecstasy?
Do you really know exactly how
many thumbs you have? After a day
of "100 (more or less) Ways to Tie
a Scarf" you begin to get a pretty
good idea! However with everyone
discovering the joy of painting silk
scarves, we thought it would be a
good idea to try. We did learn a few
methods and will keep on tieing, er
trying!
Some new people have again
joined us and have been pleased
with what we offer and amazed at
even our dinner discussions!! We do
give everything a flavour or fra-
grance all its own!
There are still a few spots availa-
ble, so if you'd like to join us, do
so soon!

CCAT helps prepare manual
that will assist record keeping
CENTRALIA - One of the most
important skills a successful farm
manger can have today is the abili-
ty to organize and analyse farm
records. Centralia College is taking
the lead in this area and recently
prepared a new "Farm Financial
Management - User's Manual" in
co-operation with the Agricultural
Representatives Branch of the On-
tario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food.
The manual is intended to guide
a farmer step-by-step, through
modules, examples and work-
sheets. By following the instruc-
tions and working through the
manual the user will have a com-
?tete annual financial statement
-tnd projection for the farm enter-
prise. This information is essential
to aid indecision making and both
financial and production planning.
"We're dedicated to meeting the
needs of the farming community",
explained Bill Allen, director of
Centralia College. "We've seen an
increase in the need for farm man-
agement training which resulted i.t
the development of this compn--
hensive User's Manual."
Some of the topics covered in
elude the purpose of the balance
sheet and income statement, cash
flow statement and projection, debt
servicing, enterprise budgets and
monitoring the farm business
plan.
The new "Farm Financial Man-
Ygement - User's Manual" is avail-
able to anyone interested in learn -
1g the principles of farm
management. It is already being
used as a reference guide in several
of the Farm Business Management
courses offered by Centralia's Con-
tinuing Education section and the
Industrial Training Advisory Com-
mittees in Huron and Perth. Sever-
al OMAF offices across the prov-
ince have ordered the manuals f, r
their farm clients. Close to SCO
manuals have been sold to date.
If you are interested in purchas-
ing a manual, contact Centralia
College. At a cost of only $10 for
each manual, it's well worth the in-
vestment in your farming future.
