While we have enjoyed meeting you and handing out newspapers across the counter - we were first in the rejoicing line when the end of the strike was announced this week. For those subscribers who were on holidays during the past six weeks or part of that time, any papers you missed picking up should now be in your post box or general delivery. We kept every single paper and this week passed all the "un collecteds" back to the post office. + + + News for Town Talk has hit the summer doldrums - absolutely nothing came in this week.

"If Old MacDonald's Farm had been in Manitoba or Saskatchewan, chances are he would have opened it up to tourists. More than 75 farmers in Canada's Heartland provinces have done just that, offering refugees from the city the opportunity to enjoy a rural life. • Whether .you're seeking rest or activity, a farm vacation could be the answer - and at a price you can af- ford. If the only exercise that interests you is the oc- casional walk to and from a table laden with' home - cooked goodies, you can spend your time between meals loafing in the sun, and perhaps catching up on your reading. But if you prefer to keep busy, there need never be a dull moment. Hiking, berry - picking, riding horses and helping with farm chores can keep you occupied from the time the rooster crows each morning until the cows come home in the evening. And if you want to rough it in the outdoors, many of the farms offer camping space. A PLACE FOR KIDS Sports Riddles and Football Facts 1.Why did the athlete chirp on the playing field?
