Fred Duchnrme) (Correspondent, — Mrs. Leon Bedard and Mrs. Ed. Corriveau of this highway were Thursday last visitors in Blake at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lucian Corriveau and family of that burg.

BAD WEATTHER "Oh Well" we might as well cheer up for already two of the damp weeks are already gone by with only four more to go. Farmers can relax another week or ten days before worrying too much about seeding and will be on time. Anyway, it is an wind that blows no good, and the rain that showers us this spring will prove beneficial for some- thing. Tt will perhaps help your shrubs or your plants, or your trees, which require lots of moisture. For instance, the pastures will be above normal for grazing and will perhaps be so for the greater part of the season, so in all the wet spring will not be a complete loss. Hay likewise, will thrive, and so will fail wheat, a tiny green blade that craves for its nourish- ment from such weather. Anyway, by the time the spring season passes on, the waiting spell for your seeding will have past away and be forgotten, and perhaps you will be awaiting something else to give you head- aches. So the world keeps going on with no one to make adjustments to suit our requirements or needs, and we cannot blame the weath- erman for his conduct in this age of ventures. Weather predictors are power- less in their work and wish to improve the condition of the wea- ther, so let us take a wild guess and say better days are ahead. Citizens News Now Published Thursday Effective this week, the Ci- tizens News will reach its subscribers on Thursday mor- ning each week, instead of Wednesday, as has been the case during the past few years. Since all other weekly newspapers use the Thursday publishing day, it was felt that this move would be keep- ing in line with the rest of the papers m the area. By changing to the Thurs- day date, we hope to be able to bring our subscribers muck more "up to the minute" news each week. Coming out with the paper on Wednesday mor- ning meant a deadline of Tues- day noon for accepting any news items, and quite often this was too early in the week for many articles to be pre- pared. Another factor which help- ed us reach this decision was the fact that to be able to have the paper published on Tuesday night it was neces- sary for a couple of members of the staff to work on Sun- day, which we do not approve of. The deadline for accepting advertising will be Tuesday noon, and for other items, in- cluding classified ads, Tuesday night. Our correspondents are asked to continue to send their news budgets in on the ,same day as they have been in 1x : past- Pe 'Would also canrirac ate the co-operation of all press reporters in having reports of their meetings reach us as soon as they can. If a meet- ing is held late in the week, we would like to have the re- port in as soon as possible af- terwards, not on Tuesday or Wednesday morning. Better co-operation will help us to bring you a better newspaper.

OUT OF SEASON — Threshing wheat in'April may seem a bit out of season to many farmers, but not to this group at the farm of Alvin. Waiper, north of Dashwood. Arid to make the situation still odder, the wheat is two years old. The crop had been treated against rhodents, and there was no signs of rats or mice working in the grain during its long stay in the mow. Due to the fact that Mr. Waiper keeps a large herd of cattle, he had been saving the wheat for the straw, as he needed it, Another odd feature of this threshing bee is the fact that five brothers and a father were helping with the work. Shown here, in the bottom row, are: Edmund Waiper, who owned the farm before selling to his son several years ago, Joe Hoffman, EdwardSmith, Roy Clark, Bill Smith, Adelbert Smith, and the proprietor, Alvin Waiper. Mr. Wet per Sr. still enjoys helping out at the farm. Feeding the machine, above, are: Raymond, Gordon and Donald Smith. (Citizens News Photo)
