Then came lighter weight steel plows. Soon plows were being made in factories at much lower cost than they could be made by the local blacksmith. Since 1847 when the first Massey plant started producing plows and ther farm implements, machine Mods have almost completely re- d Iabor on the farm. ires more power than Cation. Today on Canada and -Harris ey meti placed ha Plowing req any other farm op thousands of farms in throughout the world, Masse plows drawn by powerful Mass Harris tractors speed across the fields, enabling the farmer to plow twice the acreage he formerly plowed with a four horse outfit. Today Massay-Harris makes a typo of plow for every purpaso—walking plows, tractor plows, else plows, And Massey -Harris mowers, bind- ers, combines and other machines handle crops more speedily thanwould have been thought possible a hundred years ago. The past century has been one of steady expansioafor the Massey -Harris industry. To the farmer it has brought happy release from much' of the back- breaking labor connected with farm work. , lig7-114; \il+ Ali I�1 s1!� la r.111111k-te- c t • „, %.• *i•i'V^%?:!�r '^.�'y�+t4rs!.:<._:'e..h. b•lt i • years may they remind you of your sincere friends who wish you a long life, and a Putt measure of success and happiness.

Abell in the Farmer's Advocate, refers to Miss Helen McKe•cher, dau- ghter of Mr. Finlay McKercher. It a travelling salesman should stop at the McKercher faro near Sea- forth, Ontario, there would be little chance of his meeting the farmer's daughter. The chances are that she would be out on the country roads traveling farthei• in one clay than the salesman travelled in a week l Helen McKeroler Is a County Home 'Economies Coach with the Women's Institute Branch of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture. Her worn takes her out• to the homes and local meeting places of rural girls and wo- men in many parts of Ontario. Helen. doesn't fravel to sell pink pills or gold bricks. Her job is to give rural people all of the professional help and personal encouragement and leader- ship that lies within her power. She developed knowledge and ap- preciation of rural life as she grew up on the family farm, which is still her home. Driving a tractor came be- fore handling a car. Gathering eggs was preparatory to making at omel- ette. Spring housecleaning was a chance to examine the clothing her grandfather had stored In the attic one hundred years ago when he had worn Won his trip from Scotland to Canada, Threshing in the fall was an opportunity to appreciate the help that neighbors can give to one another. Two years at Macdonald In - sedate at the Ontario Agricultural College, followed by courses at Col- umbia and Cornell Universities in the United States, furnished an academic grounding in the subject matter of hone economics. Helen and the other County Coaches teach much of the traditional sewing and cooking skills that the uninitiated consider as the sum total of home economics. But far more fundamental is the development of self Confidence and poise that rural girls acquire from their association with the County Home Economics Coach, The Coach helps people to elp themselves. There is no spoon eeding or predigested knowledge that s unrelated to daily rural living. Several years ago Helen went to'a arm home where two young mother. ess girls were struggling to care for heir father and brothers, Helen rolled up her sleeves•and worked with the gids to turn the house into a home. The girls were taught simple food reparation, house cleaning and how o mend clothing. They learned how 0 organize their daily work and how o Handle the emotional tensions that h a aad kept the household in a turmoil. To -day the 'family has grown up. Both iris have married local farm boys nd have children of their own, Much of a Coach's work is with coups of people. Not only with girls nd women but with mixed groups or iris and boys who learn to work and o play together. Many of the mixed roup activities have been a means f introducing young people to their uture prates. The inbred shyness of ural girls and boys disappears Yrapid- y when there is opportunity to meet 0 common ground and find cm omon nterests. County fairs, dramacon- ests, picnics and song festivals all elp to fill these needs to work and lay together. Throughout all of these etivities the County Coach plays her ole of leader in the background. The oung people are encouraged to take ie leadership themselves. Whenever the Coach is called ,upon for advise • assistance, she gives it willingly. During the war thousands 'of farni- rs' sons and daughters joined the rmed services. Helen was one of em. She joined the WRCNS, At In e g g g g 0 r 1 0 i h 11 a r y 11 el e a th 0EN T,THEATRE Seaforth NOW PLAYING' "TRAIL STREET"' - THURS. pm. SAT.

The Navy used most of its new recruits to help swab' the decks! Soon she was com- missioned and spent the rest of her time inservice as a dietitian, respon- sible for the feeding of several thou- sand Canadian sailors at different bases in Canada. After the war she returned totter work with rural youth. In the winter of 1946, Helen and the local Agricultural .Representative conducted a three-month short course in Honie Economics and agriculture at the newly, opened Rural Youth and Agricultural Centre at Cayuga,' Ont- ario. The success of this course Inas opened the way to similar community projects throughout the country. Not only did rural youth make use of the Agriculture Centre, but their friends and parents used the reconverted RCAF buildings for a variety or meetings, ranging from discussions ou soil conservation to problems of fam- ily living on farms. Another coach has taken Helen's place at the Com- munity Centre' this year because Helen is back at university to dad more and better ways of helping rural people in their daily living. *ea 2011 f FIND OUR ' BANK 111 • THIS FARM PICTURE.. 7 :n:•no:::,;'r�2e?i;�"z'aE's'?:Sidi?'v %•:#i:� :•: �..,Ra a`Qi`,?
