This one was the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion Zone C1 Rally parade at which 12 different auxiliaries were represented. A parade marshal lead the group to the Hensall Arena auditorium where 135 members heard the guest speaker, Mrs. Ethel Tilbe, of Toronto, speak on Legion Auxiliary work. (Citizens News Photo) ST. JOSEPH and DRYSDALE Alfred Ducharme, Correspondent Visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ducharme the past week -end. were Fred Grat- ton, of Port Blake; Mr. and 'Mrs. Bob Ducharme, of Sarnia; Cyril Ducharme and two sons from Windsor; Mrs. Tyrus Stansber- ry, from Grosse Pointe, Michi- gan; also Mrs. Peter Masse, from Detroit. The 24th May holiday has given motorists another holiday and again the Blue Water was a busy road carrying motorists to all parts of the province — where, impossible to say, but we suppose to be with some loved ones. From Windsor at the Du- charme home were Mr and Mrs. Terry Whynot and Miss Theresa Ducharme. Several from abroad who has cottages in the Bayview sum- mer resort occupied their cot- tages the past week -end per- haps making preparations in their cottages for their stun - mer vacation. The same took place along the lake front where there are summer resorts. As usual many will leave their city homes and their shops and of- fice work to relax in their cot- tages for some time. (Continued from last week) After I refused to jump off the train when it was rolling about 50 miles an hour, I told you I preferred the bullet, I was not in danger 'of receiving either. It was the train man's way to scare nie. A little later on after he had asked me different questions as to my whereabouts and telling me he would not harm me, he pursuaded me to follow him to the caboose which was at the rear end of the train. He then left me alone and went about bis business. The train had not stopped along the way and it was not too long before we reached St. Agnes, at that time a town of a mixture of people, many French and also Indians. Be- fore arriving the same brake- man came back and ask me to follow him, for they were going to switch the train on a siding over the week -end After they had completed their week -end work and the train to a standstill again, he told me to follow him, where I could not guess but I kept following him till we carne to a large building. Then he said to me to say nothing about tell- ing me to jump off the train for perhaps he was telling false words and going against his duty. We walked up an outside stairway entering into the first flat where there were a few trainmen taking things easy. In another apartment was the dining room and even if it was midnight same of the trainmen were living in that building and they were preparing lunch for their husbands who had just arrived on the mentioned train. After they had prepared a very tasty meal the guy that had taken me up with him, picked me up for to go to the dining room and lunch with hint, his wife and other mem- bers of the train crew. To my surprise I was treated like an old member of the •crew. After packing down a good meal and taking a smoke for a sleepcap, he then took me in a small room where there was a couch so I flopped and in no time I was in dreamland till well on the next day being Sunday. You remember me telling you that he had cautioned me not to answer any questions that were asked to me. The lady that had given me .a good meal begin to ask questions as to my runabout life. What answers to give her I did not know, so I told her I preferred not to say anything. Then in French lan- guage she asked ,her husband how come he had picked me up. He, too, was embarrassed and of course a little argument flared up between the two. I was taking everything in the old French language which I hadn't heard for some time. It was nearing the time on that late Sunday afternoon for me to leave for the ferry boat which crossed the Mackinac Straits, which divided the low- er and upper Michigan.

"This low-cost, comprehen- sive coverage will be helpful to Ontario bean producers," said R. D. Blackburn, general man- ager of the commission. "Many of them have suffered severe crop losses over the years, We are pleased that it has been possible to make this valuable protection available for the cur- rent crop year," The hazards insured under bean plan are hail, wind, frost, drought, flood, plant disease, ins e c t infestation, excessive moisture, and excessive rainfall. Two optional types of protec- tion are available—coverage at '70 per of the average yield, or a "disaster" coverage at 45 per cent of the average yield to protect a grower's outof- pocket expenses. Insurance and indemnity is based on a price established by the commission at 6c per pound. The contract covers losses due to damaged beans or foreign material in excess of the pick allowance of 2 per cent, Thecommission will insure white beans in Elgin, Huron Kent, Larnbton, Middlesex and Perth counties, and any other area where the number of heat units available for bean pro- duction during the growing sea- son is rated at 2,700 or more.

For the 14th year in succession, Canadians have led the world In telephone calls per person. Why? One reason could be this: your telephone company makes conversation inexpensive ... and easy. In Canada, a flat residential rate covers all local calls. In most other countries, each call over a monthly maximum is charged separately. And the number of "work hours" it takes to pay for a residence telephone for one month is lower In Canada than anywhere else in the world. (In Bell Canada territory, a man employed in the manufacturing industry works an average of 2.1 "work hours" to pay for monthly telephone service as against 2.5 in the U.S,A.; 4.5 in London; 15.8 in Paris.), Bell Canada Built, managed and owned by Canadians
