Canadian Mounted Police Exhibi-
tion Ride which will head the all-
star grandstand performance each
evening, September 14 to 19 at
London. There will also be four
afternoon performances, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri-
day. This will be the first ap-
pearance of the famous scarlet

coal -black horses in Western On-
tario. Their precision and intri-
cate pattern riding and jumping

ern Fair patrons.

stand show. Eight acts, the cream

ago, are billed for Western Fair

ber 14, for ladies will be present-

fertilizer per acre.
The correct answers are all "Yes"!
A survey conducted among a group of Ontario wheat
producers by the Soils Department, Ontario Agricultural
College, reveals that, regardless of seed variety, soil
type, rate or depth of planting, the three management
items listed above were common for consistent high
yields over a 10 year period.

Rome From Brazil
Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Bedard,
Detroit, spent a few days dur-
ing the past week with relatives
and friends in this neighbourhood.
Mr, Bedard, who is a tool en-
gineer, has just returned from
San Paulo, Brazil, where he had
been sent by the Rockwell Comp-
any of Detroit to make plant ad-
justments in that city. He was
away from his Detroit home and
family for about five months,
Mr. Bedard's work was putting
together a new plant, called Cob=
rasma Rockwell, where axles and
other parts are made for vehicles
on wheels.
Brazil is about 8,000 miles
from Detroit and has a population
of 85 million people, which speak
mostly Portugese and are of a
dark complexion. The buildings
in San Paulo are very beautiful
and are constructed of mostly
cement and brick with steel re-
inforcement. Lumber is hardly
ever used says Mr. Bedard. The
workmen are very skilful in their
building. They have not the mod-
ern equipment to work with but
use ropes and pulleys to raise
material to the highest stories.
He also relates that as a nation
they are very agreeable among
themselves. San Paulo has a pop-
ulation of three and a half million
but there are sufficient industries
to provide work for them. Cars
are priced very high, from $10,000
and up. The city is well construc-
ted and business places are mod-
ern and clean and are stocked
with clothes and furniture the
same as people in this country
use.
In the country they do not
grow grain like we do but grow
a variety of fruit which grows
on trees, which they pick and
sell for a living. The homes in
the country are shanties, const-
ructed out of branches and mud.
The women do a man's job, such
as carrying luggage on their
heads. This is done with the use
of a flat hat made of a hard
material and on this they can
carry up to 100 pounds.
Women in dire need of money
work side by side with the men
throughout the day. (My lady of
this fair land of ours, what th-
inkest thou of that?) They have
a good system and are well vers-
ed in. the affairs of their cotmtry.
In their homes and places of bus-
iness they do not burn wood or
coal but use propane gas, since
their coal lies near the surface
it is mixed with dirt and so is
of little use. They do not require
much heat as the temperature
is never lower than 40 degrees,
therefore all that is required is
a small stove for cooking and
heating. The weather is humid
and many days are wet and dis-
agreeable.
Mr. Bedard was much impress-
ed with their mode of living and
their ways. They are a polite
people with a nice personality and
always ready to welcome stran-
gers, and greeting them with the
highest honour, (We thank Mr.
Bedard for passing to us this in-
formation.)
