Another improvement is a turnstile gate to facilitate the admission of spectators into the park . . One made earlier in the year is a water fountain inside bhe grounds , . . But what many citizens are looking for- ward to are ' some facilities for the use of the yomsgee generation -such as swings, slides,. etc. - made pos- sible :through the Ontario Govern-- ment's $2,000 grant for recreational siurposes . . . Some day- we hope to see the so-called "Community Park" a real park for the community, but at the present rate of progress, that may be a long time in the future.

Coon. -elect Brown defeated Wilmer of Howatt by 144-86 in a very light vote nd in which barely more than a quarter he of the electors of the township went a- to the polls. There was no •issue a at stake, and little excitement was evinced. Apparently, farriers were too busy .with the harvest to bother greatly.

Dr. Kelley, who outlined; the •suggestion at a meeting two or three monhs ago, gives as his reasons the inability of the four hos- pitals concerned to obtain sufficient potential students and the difficulty • in securing •a properly qualified teacher ... He points out that riei they Goderich nor Clinton had suc- ceeded tin securing any trainees,. while Seaforth had only three and Wingham only four Every effort will be made to bring the scheme into operation in 1948, however, the Minister stresses. * * * TOMORROW 118 PRESiS ;AND RA- dlio Day at the Canadian National 'Ex hibittion in Toronto, and we 'hope to be there because we have a 'special invitation from. the President ,and Direeboreeto attend, including one far the Diaetturs' Luncheon at noon As a child we always liked going to. the "E$", and age has not dampened our enthusiasm, .especially after an absence of six long years. * * * AND YOU CAN BBT TI•I•AT ONE of the things we are going to make a point of seeing ;is Eevh 'Snell's fine exhibit of Leicester 'sheep - 21 of them headed by his aged rani - whaeh he took to the big show on Tuesday and will keep them dowi, there until next Thursday .

Threshing of Spring Grains Now General "Threshing of spring sown. grains Is general throughout the county; end yields of same fields of eak1, sown oats have ranged between 60 and 70 bushels per sere," LeRoy G. Brown, agricultural representative for Huron county, declared today. "The saniple of barley, however, is not very satisfactory this year, with the exception of the new variety, Montcalm, which seems to have stood the wet conditions during the late spring and summer much better than our standard varieties, OAC 21, Ga- lore and Barhoff. The emetinued warm weather is favorable to threshing operations exeept in certain areas where heavy rainfall has ocetured. "Continued wamm, humid weather is the time to watdh for infestation of aphids in turnip patches. AIready several outbreaks have been reported. These aphids, commonly called turnip lice, multiply very rapidly when the weather is hot and humid, and the infestation in a field of turnips will spread very rapidly. "If the infestation is noticed in an early stage, the recommended pro- cedure is to remove all plants and destroy them, If, however, the in- festation is general le the field, the moat effective treatment is to spray the turnips with the solution made up of one pound of linseed oil soap to ten gallons of water. This mix- ture should be applied with a pressure sprayer to ensure thorough coverage on the foliage and thus reach those aphids on the underveide of the leaves and stems, "The good reserve of moisture in the soil has given an excellent growth on second cutting alfalfa in •most fields, and the weather is such that many farmers have been able to har- vest this valuable crop. Second cut- ting alalfa is one of our most valu- able sources of protein grown on the Driving Aptitude Tests at CNE PeZeeemseeete Approval was expressed today, by leading safety experts, of the driving aptitude tests being con- ducted at the Canadian National Exhibition by the division of at under the direction of W.
