By itself such a suggestion seems quite unnecessary and perhaps a little foolish, but believe us, the warning is still apparently necessary. Talking with a police official recently, he suggested it was amazing what people really didn't want but ended up buying or signing long-term financing contracts. At the root of the problem seemed to be the overwhelming feeling on the part of the suckers that they were going to get something for nothing. Now after some trying experiences, which inevitably include running to the police crying fraud, the in- dividuals are much wiser and much poorer. Pamphlets mailed out to homeowners Offering free this or free that, for some seemingly innocent action, usually trigger the series for events that follow. Once they have your name you become a pros- pect. Once you become a prospect you can count on someone with a well prepaid pitch and hungry eyes, is only a short distance from your pocketbook. By this time it is important that you THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1964 not be rushed intc signing anything. And this is often where the difficulty develops. Limited time offers and all sorts of gim- micks are introduced to put the pressure on for an immediate signature, sometimes even on an uncompleted contract. If you overcome the first hurdle of panic you've got time to check •out some of the promises as well as the contract. Sure, a lawyer will charge you to read it and give an opinion, but it may be a worth- while investment now, rather than later. If the cold, critical eye of the lawer reduces the thing to a poor deal, you've saved a lot of cash. If on the other hand, it still looks ok, you can go ahead with confidence. This is the season for home improve- ment and all kinds of gimmick deals. If you want to be safe rather than sorry, look them over carefully and remember once you've signed you're committed to a legal battle if you want to get out of it. The police can't help if you can't do much fox yourself, Look the deal over first. -(The Glen - co Transcript). Good Tools -- Treated ifh Care Sprays and dusts are effective farm• ing tools if you follow these simple rules: Always read the label before using sprays and dusts. Note warnings and CM, lions each time before opening the con- tainer. Keep sprays and dusts out of reach of children. pets and irresponsible people.

Observe label directions and cautions to keep residues on edible portions of plants within the limits permitted by law. If symptoms of illness occur during car shortly after spraying or dusting, call a physician or get the patient to a hospital immediately. The Work Is " Aine Today upon a bus I saw a girl with golden. hair; She seemed so gay, I envied her, and wish that I were half so fair; 1 watched her as she rose to leave, and saw her hobble down the aisle, She had one leg and wore a crutch, but as she passed -a smile. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine; I have two legs -the world is mine. Later on I bought some sweets. The boy who sold them had such charm, 3 thought I'd stop and talk awhile, If I were late, t'would do no harm. And as we talked he said, "Thank you sir, you've really been so kind. It's nice to talk to folks like you because, you see. I'm blind" Oh, God, forgive me when I whine; 3 have two eyes -the world is mine. Later walking down the street, I met a boy with eyes so blue, But he stood and watched the others play; it seemed he knew not what to do. I paused, and then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?" But he looked straight ahead without a word, and then.- I knew, he couldn't hear, Oh, God, forgive me when I whine; I have two ears -the world is mine. Two legs to take me where I go, Two eyes to see the sunset's glow, Two ears to hear all I should know, Oh, God, forgive me when I whine; I'm blest, indeed, the world is mine.

One after another, typhoid, smallpox, diptheria, polio and whooping cough have been knocked on the head. And the medical people are hot on the trail of cancer. That's why it's so discourag- ing to realize that while today's medicine -men have had their noses glued to a test-tube, a little virus that at first seemed harmless, has sneaked around behind them, spread with the stealth of spilled maple syrup, and is now resulting in an epi- demic of appalling proportions. Worse still, there is no drug that will kill it for it is not a physical ailment but a mental aberration. Already this highly contagious mania has hit so many people that it's not likely anything will stop its ravages of the race except the radio- active fallout that will stop everything one of these days. Its symptoms are unmistake- able, its victims easily discern- ed, When under an attach they will: suddenly leave work in the middle of the afternoon; miss the funerals of close relatives; skip meals, though they love their victuals; desert their loved ones at all sorts of odd hours; inexplicable recover from pain or illness that would have them moaning in bed, in the winter. Oh yes, this disease is most prevalent in summer, as polio was. This mental illness to which I refer, of course, is that ancient and honourable state • of mind -it's not a game and don't ever think it is --called golf. Don't snort, gentle reader. Perhaps you have thus far escaped the anaconda coils of this serpent -like sport but you're not safe unless you're over 90, bed ridden, and the relatives are sitting around wishing you'd y Crossword ACROSS 1, Shift 6.

Agriculture Minister Harry Hays appealed to farm workers to halt a trend that has made farming one of the most haz- ardous occupations in Canada. "A moment's thought before you act may save you from serious injury and your family from distress and perhaps hard- ship." Quoting approximate figures from the National Safety League of Canada, he said: "Every four hours a farm resi- dent dies in an accident; every seven hours a farmer is killed at work." hurry up and die so they could get out and hit a golf ball. Just the other I was sitting on a bench at the 7th tee. An elderly man came up. playing with two others. He let them go on without .him, and col- lapsed beside me. "Played whuff six holes today," he wheezed triumphantly. "Had a whuff heart attack two weeks ago, whuff. Gotta take it easy. Played whuff three holes yes- terday. I'll make whuff nine tomorrow. Golf used to be a game for rich people and a few profes- sionals. It was associated with country clubs, snobbery and so- cial climbing. But something has happened in the last dec- ade, and we rabble have storm- ed the barricades and infiltrated the fairways. Go out to a course any day and you'll see a butcher and a baker, a printer and preacher, a hairdresser and hotel keeper, hurling them selves with unanimous vigour and inaccuracy in the general direction of the bouncy little fiend of a ball. Old ladies who should be home knitting garments for grandchildren, sweat happily around the course, hacking divots as big as dishpans. At- tractive young women who should be sitting around at a beach or bar, just looking beau- tiful, putting languidly about in long, tanned legs and short, tight shorts. Thereby wrecking the concentration of old codg- ers, who are distracted into slicing $L50 balls into the rough, after spending $300 in lessons to get rid of that slice, Oh, I know, The whole thing is ridiculous. "What could be sillier," I used to say before the virus entered my veins, than walking around hitting a little ball with a stick." I still think it's crazy, a mere obsession. And the day I break 100, I'm going to throw away my clubs and start living again, which will probably be about the same day I'm elected president of the Women's Institute. New and more p o w er f u l equipment, some of it very com- plicated, is being used in many kinds of food production - in field and orchard, and in barn and elevator. Butgenerally human error is the reason for the death and injury toll among the nation's primary food pro- ducers. Mr. Hays said: "Farm chemi- cals are labelled and the labels must be studied. Modern farm machinery carries safety shields and they must be left on. Prop- er instruction must be given to anyone operating a tractor for the first time. Electricity is a great hired hand but if safety factors are neglected it can be a killer. Driving slow farm ve- hicles on the highway calls for extreme •care. So does handling fuels. And it's only common sense to put poisonous materials out of children's reach." Mr. Hays said rural people have a responsibility to them- selves to change the statistics which at present indicate 33,000 accidents a year involving 120,- 000 farm people and causing 2,400 fatalities.
