"IOW, DO YOU EXPECT ME TO
see everything all at once?"
That was the plaintive question asked
by a 'cute little miss of tender years
who was enjoying, the time of her
life at the Canadian Legion's mag-
nificent fireworks display at the
King's Birthday Celebration
She was 'lucky enough to .have a
seat in the grandstand, too, and lets
of other little girls didn't have tthat
privilege; ,they were craning their
necks from abseil* points on the
ground.
x*
AND THE ABOVE QUESTION
probably was in the minds of most
people as ,they viewed the magnifi-
cent exhibition of pytotecbnics . .
The marvelous -demonstration by six
hands, followed by fireworks en a
big scale, had nearly everyone
satiated Lndividual standouts
were -the booming rockets, the
smoothly flowing waters of Niagara
Fails, and the great bursts of col-
oured Iights in all their glory •to
form .the Union Jack No won-
der the wee tot asked her mother
the question.

Farmers Are Urged
Sow Auxiliary Crops
Discussing the seeding sitoa-
tion, LeRoy G. Brown, Clinton,
agricultural representative for
Huron County, stated today that
a'eonsiderable percentage of the
acreage intended for feed grain
this spa'in,g has not and will not
be sown due to unfavorable
weather, and with the feed situa-
tion in Sts present critical con-
dition. it was imperative that
'these areas be sown to some feed
erode
"Large quantties of 'high qual-
ity roughage, including hay, sil-
age and roots, will be necessary
to carry our livestock through
the winter in goad condition with
a minimum of grain feeding," he
• declared. "Heavy rains already
have subjected our fields to more
than the norxitaI' amount of eros-
ion, and even ,though the time is
past to sow .spring grain for
harvesting., it is not too Tate to
sone anccual roughage crops, or
other an aciI ar'y grain craps such
as' hyibrid corn, aclytbeans, grain
