Following the game between the 4.eafolth Fawn; and the Brussels girls on Monday night, several que.'s thins ort t ht to our attention as an argument dose concerning the game at it Cosh luien. O1 r question was, "Why was this, sudden death game called?" In a personal conversation with the pre- sident of the W.O.A.A. he said that the protested gone should be taken up before the protest committee as he found several people were in the wrong and that as far as he was concerned Brussels would not be awarded a win and that the game should be played in Seaforth. Brus- sels was awarded a win and Seaforth tied with thein in first place. The convenor of the group and manager of the Blyth girls, George McNall, then called a sudden -death game be- tween these two teams to be played under the lights at Blyth. Why did the Brussels management gladly ac- cept this offer to play under the lights, though they refused to play in Seaforth under` such conditions. This is another question which re- quires a good answer but, no one will come up with an answer, but keep changing to other subjects. Could the answer to this second question be that Brussels can't get enough support in Seaforth so they took it nearer home where it would be hard for Seaforth to obtain sup- porters but where they could fill the. stands with their own fans. it WIH Lonow!

Our best explanation of this is, .if Seaforth had failed to appear at the Blyth Agricultural Park, Brussels would have been given a win and Seaforth would have been forced into second place with it appearing EWEYBODY'S B b. %. Do you think you're too old to achieve success? Have you-- resigned ou=resigned yourself to .a life of mediocre achievement? Henry Ford was more than forty before he became estab- lished on the road to fame and fortune. Yet he was but one of a host of great leaders in all fields who did not remake their mark until they reached middle age. This is not surprising. .For theie is plenty of evidence to prove that, in almost every kind of work, peak efficiency is only attained after many years of experience. An efficiency test of factory workers showed that top producers averaged forty- seven years of age! "Ah," says someone, "but you can't teach an old dog new tricks!" . Nonsense! Modern psy- chology has exploded this idea sky high, The middle-aged can learn lust as well as youth—if they want to. So if you feel that lae.k of education or technical knowledge is holding you back, don't just bemoan the fact. Start a planned program of study. It's worth the effort! Practical men of middle -age 'make definite preparations for their retirement. Millions of people have saved for their old age through life insurance and enjoy 'basic comforts — and often such "extras" as new homes or travel— which bring happiness in "sunset years". '1i fi of C noidma Twenty years ago, agricultural scien- tists looked askance on the idea of farming Canada's vast northland. The brief northern growing season was too short, they'said. The number of horses a farmer would need to work his, land, and get his crop sown in time to mature, would eat him out of house and barn. But then came power farming! In the northern areas of the Prairie Provinces alone, five million extra acres have been brought under cultivation since 1936! Sown in wheat at present TORONTO REGINA prices, this new acreage could yield in a single season a revenue of $180,000,000. Generations ago, Massey - Harris served the early pioneers of Canada's West and North. Today, Massey - Harris is proud of its part in the con- tinuing extension of Canada's farm frontiers—through the development of the indispensable power machinery that alone makes possible the opening up of vast new areas for settlement and prosperous development.
