Two Local Fars Buy Shorthorn Bulls At Toronto Sale A pair of Performance Tested Shorthorn bulls from the herd of W. A. Culbert and Sons, Dungan- non, sparked the Ontario Bull Sale, held at Toronto. These bulls. were both by the Culbert Stock Bull, Maple Emblem Good Luck, and both had made outstanding gains on tests. "Gold Standard" selling at $1,400., to Quinte Cattle Breeders, Belleville, had gained 3.21 lbs. per day on test, weighing 1,235 lbs. at 13 1-2 months. "Gold Medal", selling at $1,300. to Water- loo Cattle Breeders, Waterloo, had gained 3,09 lbs. per day on test and at 131/2 months, weighed 1,250 lbs. , Another of the high testing bulls was purchased by Hoffman Bros., Zurich. This bull, Simlea Jansen 5th, consigned by Harold Sime, Shelbourne, had weighed 1,335 at 20 months and one week of age. A half brother to this bull comes to Theodore Steinbach, also of Zurich. At The Zurich Public Library "Doctor Zhivago" Does this title call anything to your mind? Of course it is the book which last year won the "Nobel Prize" for its author, Bo- ris Pasternak. You will recall also that the author's government (Russia), im- mediately forbad himto accept the honour. Why? • Reading the story will give you at least a partial answer. It de- picts Doctor Zhivago's Revolution of 1917 and the succeeding years of civil war, starvation, epidemics and banishments to the prison camps in Siberia. This is the only truly great - novel to come out of Russia dur- ing the last forty years or more. Furthermore, it was published in English and other translations, be- fore it was published in any of the languages behind the Iron Curtain. • - YONTIAC'S GOT --IT...

Mefi Easter Seal .Campaign Begins On' March 1.7 Goal Set At $850,000 As the dark winter -begins to die March becomes the bright month of hope for more than 14, 000 crippled children and teen- agers .in Ontario who have been afflicted by accident and disease or disabled by certain conditions from birth that usually mean des- pair and dependence on others. And since hope in action is charity, 222 service clubs will open their , month-long annual Easter Seal drive on March 17 for $850, 000. That's the price that must be paid in 1960 to make life bet - ler for youngsters who would oth- erwise find it harder if not im- possible—to become self-reliant and self -dependent citizens. Easter Seal contributions pro- vide treatment and training, vac- ations in specially equipped sum- mer camps and all other benefits that the -37 -year old Ontario Soc- iety for Crippled Children has developed over its history to child- ren. Down through the years Easter Seals have paved the way for a program which now provides 25 specially trained nurses who serve as liasion with service clubs across the province, seeking out crippled children and directing them to treatment centres, providing them Speed of Pheasants Is Described By Department Head The pheasant is one of the fastest "running" birds on the. ground, according to officials of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. Anyone who, from a high observation point, has watched the pheasant squat and run from a pursuing dog will a- gree. Further illustration: E.F. John- ston, timber supervisor, report- ed that following heavy sleet and snow, he spotted a hen pheasant at the corner of Albert and Kent streets in Lindsay. "A local citizen spotted the bi- rd about the same time and thinking, no doubt, of a choice dish of stuffed pheasant under glass, he slammed his car to an abrupt halt and took up the ch- ase on foot. The stalking began, Indian style, around bushes and shrubs, over the snow-covered lawns and down the street, the bird disdaining to fly but always managing to scramble just be- yond the outstretched arms of its hungry pursuer. "Several minutes later, our friend still in breathless pur- suit, the bird apparently decided she did not wish to grace any Sunday table with a flutter of wings, took off, leaving our cr- estfallen citizen staring sky- wards."

In these camps counsellors with knowledge of what to do teach the kids to enjoy life, to learn how. to care for themselves and to give many of them hope which their conditions have not aroused. Easter seals, too, enroll the ser- vices of leading physicians and surgeons who give their time and skills at the clinics which the Society and the service clubs or- ganize at strategic centres in Ont- ario where local doctors may bring their young patients for examina- tion and recommended treatment.
