41/44.- (By BENJAMIN BEVERIDGE)
The Top Shelf..
The warm days of the summer
have gone, but it may be worth-
while to remark that as far as
the cultural arts — and other
activities which are fast becom-
ing cultural arts—are concern-
ed, there never was a summer
like this one.
The British Empire Games in
Vancouver, and the fine showing
which Canadians made them-
selves, was a fine feather in the
nation's cap. The Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition was better than
ever before. The Stratford
Shakespearean; Festival was' a
triumph for the second time.
The Earle Grey players, who vie
somewhat lamely with the Strat-
ford troupe for prominence,
'nevertheless continued their enim-
ro =em t in, Toronto. Peter-
borough's
1
borough's summer theatre was
still going strong, although with
less notice than when it first
opened in the Robertson Davies
country a few years ago. • A
group of ornamental swimmers
from Peterborough did extremely
well in competitions in the Unit-
ed States, and right across the
country church and. community
groups were making noble ef-
forts at staging operettas and
Pinero plays to an audience
which is slowly but surely
awakening to the wealth of ent-
ertainment which Canadians are
capable of producing for them-
selves.
Many young boys and girls
spent 'the summer **sting,
wherever there was artificial ice
and professional instruction.
Barbara Ann Scott set an hist-
oric precedent when she skated
to world fame a decade ago, and
now there are hundreds of young
Canadians training to be the
Olympic ice stars of tomorrow.
And in a number of other places
this summer other young men
and women were working on the
music and the choreography for
Canada's two national ballets, and
for numerous minor ones which
15 years ago would not have dar-
ed to appear on a lighted stage
in what skeptics still call. "long
winter underwear". The winter
may be an interesting one.

Gwenth Lloyd, the Lancashire
woman who came to Canada be-
fore the war to give the Royal -
Winnipeg Ballet its 'first impetus,
has closed up her summer school
at Banff, Alta., and is preparing
for the winter season of per-
formances,
There was no ballet at all in
Canada in 1938, but the Ukrain-
ian population of the West was
happily responsive to the initial
attempts to create one. At wars'
end the Winnipeg Ballet moved
outward from Winnipeg, •and
when Queen Elizabeth (then the
heir to the throne) saw the
company perform and called it
the "Royal Winnipeg Ballet", the
first ballet festival in Canada
came into being.
No longer a pioneer company,
but a professional one with an
international reputation, Miss
Lloyd's organization is approach-
ing its 16th season. Eva Von
Gencsy, a young Hungarian bal-
lerina who came to Canada in
1948, has.left Winnipeg for CBC
television. But there is still the
music of Eric Wild, the talent of
young Arnold Spohr of Saskat-
chewan, and ^ Jean McKenzie,
when she can spare' the time
from her CBC husband and fam-
ily; and there is•still the patron-
age of Lady Tupper.
Noty one final note on the
theatre just to illustrate how
determined people are to perpet-
uate the old art of pretending
to• be someone else.
This oearthe Equity
Libraryr
dTheatref New York elebrate
its tenth anniversary, It isn't
likely many Canadians have
heard of the E.L.T., but it had a
rather unusual objective of find,
ung new faces in the audience
for old faces on the stage.
The theatre opened in 1944 in
the basement of ITudson Park
library in Greenwich Village
The production cost $30, 'which
was paid by the actors them-
selves because admission was
free. This group of professional
actors had the idea that .more
neonle would' go to the theatre
if it didn't cost so much. They
thought, also, that people wanted
to see some of the old plays
which had been stuffed away on
library shelves. It was a sort
of obligation that theatrical peo-
ple felt they had to the public,
a chance for producers and ag-
ents to find new names and
where fledgling thespians might
find new directors.
Most of the audience on that
opening night` may have been
polite relatives, who would rath-
er have been on Broadway. But
Equity Library Theatre endured
for a whole,decade; moving from
library to library and school
auditorium to YMCA basketball
floors. In the ten years more
than 12,000 actors were cast in
300 plays. About 60 per cent of
the players seen in these pro-
ductions were able to find acting
jobs because of Equity, and at
least 500,000 people have seen
the performances.
In 1950, at a performance in
the Bronz high school, admission
of 60 cents was tharged for the
first time. Members of theatrical
unions in the cast were paid on
the basis of $10 a performance,
and that year E.L.T. lost $2,000.
Next season prices went up to
90 cents .and the year's surplus
Was 21 cents. If' box office prices
go up anymore, of course, the
whole objective will he lost, but
when professional actors are
willing, as these actors were, to
make material sacrifices to elev-
ate the standard of their art,
there is fertile ground in every
community for an Equity theatre.
$8,100 For Building' Now Available
Under New Veterans' Land Act'
Veterans of World War II and
the Special Force to Korea can
now get greater financial assist-
ance from the Veterans' Land Act
of the Department of Veterans Af-
fairs.
An amendment to the Act was
passed during thelast session of
Parliament and became effective
August 2, 1954.
Veterans wishing to takeup a
small holding can now be assisted
up to a maximum of $8.100 with a
down payment of $1,300. An ap-
plicant for this scheme must have
a minimum of two acres and Iris
monthly payments are -in the vic-
inity of $28. If a veteran has al-
ready purchased a property under
V.L.A. and has occupied his house,
then he is not eligible to apply for
the larger loan.
Formerly the maximum was
$6,000 which was barely sufficient
to complete house -construction in
a manner desired by the veteran
and his wife unless the couple had
saved up considerable money.
For veterans who wish to take
up farming and are .,qualified ,to do
so," -the maximum amount of money
available is $10,500 with a down
payment of $2,100, formerly the
maximum was $6,000 but now with
$4,500 more to ihvest in a farm a
widerfield of selection is possible,
Fanner veterans who are now
established under V.L.A. are en-
titled to apply for this additional
assistance. This loan cannot be
used to buy livestock or machinery
but will be' available to, carry out
conservation practices, renovate
or build new barns. The addition-
al assistance has been provied to
take care of the 'increased cost of
land and building materials since
the $6,000 maximum loan was es-
tablished in 1945.
Another amendment to the Act,
permits veterans to build their
own house on a city sized lot by
means of a straight repayable loan
from V.I:,.A;; tip to a maximum of
$8,000.
Veterans who wish • to learn
more about these loans should con-
tact the fieldman in their area or
the Regional Office of The Veter-
ans' Land Act located in. London,
Windsor, Guelph ;and Hamilton,
•The V.L.A. District Superinten-
dent of Western Ontario, R. W.
Pawky, points out that applicat-
sons for the loan will be accepted
now ..but short delays may occur
because:, printedforms for docum-
entation are not 'et_ available and

have not been received. Farmers
are urged to Wait until the less

Federation. Will
Have Banquet
At Londesboro
Directors of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture have de-
cided to hold the annual county
banquet and meeting on the same
date, some time in late November
with Londesboro as the -tentative
location. As last year's banquet
and meeting were such a decided
success with an almost 100 per-
cent attendance, directors felt that
the plan of having all township
federation directors. as guests a-
gain would be in keeping.
October 28 was set as the"ten-
tative date for a county social
banquet.
Women's Meeting
On September 17, Mrs. Gordon
Weir, Burford, women's represent-
ative on the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture eatecutive, will ad-
dress the Huron County Federa-
tion women directors in Clinton.
Secretary - Fieldman Gordon
Greig, Bluevale, was instructed to
pay $2,886, the balance of the af-
filiation fee, to the Ontario Fed-
eration of Agriculture.
Directors, headed by President
Wilfr"ed Shortreed, Walton, decid-
ed not to .have federation display
booth at fall fairs this year.
'The petition requesting a vote
on the wheat producers' market-
ing scheme will be discussed at
the October meeting.
If You're TIRE
ALL THE TINE
Everybody gets a bit run-down now and
then, tired -out, heavy -headed, and maybe
bothered by backaches. Perhaps nothing
seriously wrong, just a temporary toxic
condition caused by excess acids and
wastes. That's the time to take Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Dodd's stimulate the kidneys,
and so help restore their normal action of
removing excess acids and wastes. Then
you feel better: sk' ' better, work better.
Get Dodd's Kidney fills now. Look for
the blue box with the red band at all
druggists. You can depend on Dodd's. 52

When You. Buy Laying Ration
You're Really Y g Bu iu . EGGS!
Most people buy laying ration by the bag; but here's
a more practical way of looking at it: That laying ration
is merely raw materiol for your egg 'factory. You're really
"buying eggs" — it ought to be bought by the dozen!
There are a lot more eggs in bags of some rations
than in others. And at 50c a dozen, every -extra dozen
eggs per bag means an extra actual value in the feed
of $10 per- ton for a complete ration, $20 for one fed
50-50 with grain. So you can't judge 'value by price
per bag •— cost per dozen is the
practical way.
Purina Research has put ex-
tra eggs into the High Efficiency
Chows — Layena, Lay Chow,
Breeder Lay Chow. They're blend-
ed for more efficient use of nut-
rients, and lower cost per dozen.
This is not just an idle claim,
picked out of the air, but a fact
thoroughly proved in hundreds of
laying flocks,
IF
you 'have plenty of good home-grown grain, and an
ordinary egg market:
Mix 100 lbs. Chowder. Concen-
trate with 200 ground'mixed grain,,
Keep this gnash before your birds.
Morning—feed 3 lbs. good. oats per
100 birds. Evening—J•0 lbs. mixed
grain in warm weather; 12 lbs. in
cold. "Topfeed" Ltrying or Boost-
er Chew Checkers at noon. Self-' '
feed Purina Oyster Shen. Insol-
uble grit twice a week-15-rnimite
Olean -up.

to talk over your feeding and management plans with you. Or,
if you prefer, our trained, experienced Feeding Advisor can drop
in next time he's out your way.
