;;1L,••,, tt,
Where in the holy old blue
eyed world did that summer
get to? It ,seems like three
quarters of an hour since
was the middle of June and I
was building a picnic table. •
- coffee they've had in 'peace
months.
* •
Re -opening of school is thrill-
ing for teacher, too. Their
egos are badly flattened from
:being treated, just like every-
body else. They're weary of
'giving orders to kids (their
t own) who ignore them. They're
on stage once more, with all
those eager faces turned to-
ward them. They can't wait to
take that first deep breath of
schoolroom air, composed of
,the beloved odors of chalk dust,
floor wax and warm humans.
C.•
This, was the summer in
which I was determined to make
something of myself, or bust
my posterior in the effort. I
planned to fish, golf or swim
everyday, get myself in perfect
trim, write a book, stay ahead
of the weeds in the flowerbeds,
and prepare all my course out-
lines for September.
. *
havenq b'een- •fish-ing stare
trout season opened, in May.
I doubt if I could find my way
around the golf course_ it's so
long since 1 saw it. I gave up
swimming early in ,July when
I nearly drowned while trying
to get out - to a raft 12 feet
away. My belly has gone from
a solid 30 to a pudgy 32. 1
haven't written anything ex-
cept my name on those govern-
ment store slips, • The weeds
wave like saplings. And I
didn't even know what was on
the -course when school started.
Oh, well, I Like September
better anyway.
*
It's easier to go- to work every
day and 'tell a lot of kids what
to do- than it is to be home
every day and have your wife
telling you what to do. Like
- -Mow that Pawn, .,get off - ycrur
big fatAail, gpt a loaf of bread,
take the kids fo.• a swim, stop
smoking so much and when ar6
you going to take all those
• •beer bottles ba.ck?
*
It's probably a jolly good
thing that kids have to go back
to school. Another month of
their kids eating purple poP-
Sicles and green apples, falling
off bicycles and in love, and
parents would begin screaming
and running_ rapidly in ever -
decreasing circles.
* *
Mothers' heave'. a vast, soft
sigh of pure joy -when they
shove the kids out the door
on opening day of school, and
sit down in that beantiftiLlquiet-
kitchen ..,for- that. 'first cup of
for
,
1
-r It's hard to tell,what thqpki-dA
themselves think of -going back
to school. They profess to be
{disgusted. But I met one of my
.students who has gone to work
in a bank, asked him how he
'felt about not going back this
fall, and almost' wept at the
look of unutterable longing
that slipped across his face.
*
4 I think most youngsters are
:delighted to return to school.
Especially the little girls. After
:all, it's pretty awkward trying
to strike up i riimance with a
small Malelype in the summer,
when he's always going -places
on the dead run, always doing
things girls aren't allowed to
do, ancLnearly always dirty and
rather smelly.
* *
But it's a different story when
she gets him sitting. behind,
befront-l'of beside her in tht
classroom. He's not only sta:
tionary, but fairly clean, and
she can smile at him, snub him,
make him talk when"he should-
n't, tell the teacher when he
pinches her, and generally pur-
sue the arts of courtship em-
ployed by small females.
Is everybody, then, happy,
about school starting? Not ex-
actly. Check the old man. ,Gone
with the summer is that peace-
ful hour when he could get up
in the cool of the morning and
enjoy a solitary, Jeisurely
breakfast paper propped up
against the coffee pot, while the
old girl and the kids loafed in,
bed.

(Huron F. of A.)
The information department
of Ow Ontario Federation of
Agriculture repeats the an-
nouncement made by -the Hon.
WM, A. Stewart, Minister s of
Agriculture, of the Goverzt
ment's intention to establish a
Farm Machinery Board. While
we havereservations at to the
effectiveness of such an advis-
ory board, we trust this action
will ultimately lead to ways of
solving the'rnany problems with
which farmers have been con-
fronted. The announcement co-
ineides with the publication of
the Report of the Ontario Farm
Machinery Investigation Com-
mittee which recommended the
establishment of such a board.
The Ontario Farm Machinery
Investigation Committee came
intO being as a result of a resol-
ution endorsed by the 1961 an-
nual meeting of, the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture, This
resolulion. requested the Min-
iste.r,of Agriculture to imple-
ment' a farm-rnaebinery-act-for..,
the Province of Ontario.
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture compliments the
Farm Machinery Invegigation
Committee on the exceltnce of
its report. It is obvious the

Mr. A. 11. K. Musgrave, presi-
dent of the 0.F.A., feels it is
most gratifying to note the In-
vestigation Compaittee has in-
corporated, in its recommend-
ations, many of the sugestionS
put forth by the Ontario Feder-
ation of Agriculture. He points
out, for example, that we asked
for adequate research into new
types of equipment and rigor-
ous field testing under Ontario
Conditions before offering ma-
chines for sale. We asked for
a minimum full warranty per-
iod of one year on all machines;
for the standardization of parts
so they could be interchange-
able _between machines; that
repair parts be attainable on
Saturdays and holidays dining
busy seasons; that replacements
parts be made readily available
for a minimum period of 10
years from .the date of pur-
ehase of any machine; that deal -

of Agriculture, were includ-
ed, in whole Or IA art, in the
report of. the klarni Machinery

Reports coming into this of-
fice indicate that conditions still
exist where farmers are 'un-
able to procure replacements

chines of leading manuf4turers,
without experiencing disastrous
delays. That such, conditions
should continue to prevail, even
though they had been condemn-
ed during hearings held by the
Investigation Committee, indi-
cates that some form of legis-
lation will be required before
the Farm Machinery Board can
operate effectively.
