By the time this script is printed there will be a week of summer passed and we can truthfully say - they were not summer days. This wet and broken weather brings back memories to the older people of more than two generations agr . When the sprint time was nice, the farmers got their seeding in and everything seemed to be flourishing. In the beginning occasional showers were welcome by the farmers for quick growth of their seeding. Well the result of that summer was a three-month rain and of course that was much more than the necessary amount needed and what happened, farmers could not get on their land to cut their grain. On some farms two spans of horses were hooked on a binder, reaper or even a mower to cut their grain. Others got on high top boots to wade in places more than two feet deep of water to cradle their crops which were floating from one side of the field to the other pushed by the winds. As you know there is always a stop to evil things the rain caused. The cash crops to fanners those years was wheat that was lost on many farms. Well, already we have a month passed of broken weather so just keep waiting and accept what comes. It will mean another , set back to the farms to add • to their income as many others they have to continue with as !time passes on. • Farmers hold the basic industry of our country and when anything brews up against their income the country feels it and could cause much disappointment. In the commercial business let us hope that nothing of that sort will happen this year and not be a replica of that summer of more PAGE ELEVEN than two generations ago. Per- haps no other country can boast of saying this, look around, travel here and there and be convinced the prosperity of all will be your answer. Should it be a wet summer as afore said there is no other course to follow but accept it , and make te best of it even though your last seeding, namely ' beans, should be a failure it • could go hard on the young ' farmers. But it has happened before to the older farmers and they have survived through it all. Litter can cause accidents. Broken glass on the highway can cause a blow-out, flying paper can abscure a driver's view at a cruical moment and boxes of metal or wood on the road can cause a driver to swerve. Do your part to keep Ontario's highways clean and safe. Don't litter the highways. You don't have to be old to apply for your old age security pension. Just 65.
