Ann:. It was with mixed feelings
that we learned of your decision
to quit farming and leave our lo-
cality. In the first place, „we are
losing an ideal neighbor and
friend, and secondary with a feel-
ing of gladness that you were
treating yourself to a well-deserv-
ed rest. An ancient Greek philoso-
pher once said: 'The qualities of a
person are judged ,by the way in
which one bears up under advers-
ity,' and according to this you cer-
tainly were tops. .It is impossible
for us to express in words the feel-
ings we have in our hearts, and so
has a more concrete expression of
these feelings may we be allowed
to. present this wholly inadequate
memento of our ehappy association.
Signed! on •behalf of your neighbors
and friends."

SEAFORTH — 1890 1950
Good morning, Seaforth! I am twenty-one,
Just call me if you will your newest son;
I come to ask admittance, here I stand:
Come in, and welcome stranger, here's my hand.
Such were our greetings, many years ago;
The year, the month, the day, so well I know;
I came by stage, the driver, James McGee,
Smiled, I remember, when he took my "fee."
We've known a lot of changes since eve met;
We knew the ox cart, now we know the Jet;
Some call it progress, maybe they are right.
Progress? And arming for another' fight!
Would that I had the gift to take my pen
And write a story of your honored men;
Men I was proud to know, respect, admire—
Today we miss them, called to service higher.
In "mart," in church, or on the field of sport,
I knew them all, and here is my repert:
fhey gave their best, and it was good enough,
fa tell the world that Seaforth had tie stuff.
Oh, yes, we thad a scallywag or two,,
A town without them would be something new;
And yet we haven't had a major crime
In sixty years, and that's a long, long, time.
Seaforth nineteen fifty, what of the morrow?
Life holds in store, its joy and its sorrow.
-Our's not to reason why, but to fulfil,
Each little day according to His will.,

Sport News
BY WALLY
Year by year interest in softball
has been growing, until today
there are over 100,000 teams' in
Canada and the United States. It
is a massive sport, being played
and enjoyed by over thirty million
people each year.
Fifty years or so ago, baseball
players wanted somewhere to keep
in shape during the winter months
so they started a game which they
called indoor baseball. • Since even
the largest enclosure was smaller
than the baseball playing field, a
larger and slightly softer hall had
to be devised so that hits would
not go such vast distances that a
baseball would travel. In the late
20's, small groups put indoor base-
ball to outdoor play, in limited city
areas, and the game gained im-
mediate favor. It had mushroom
,growth in Canada thereafter, and
we have what is now known as
softball.
As far as we know, softball real-
ly got going here in the early 30's,
and at that time Seaforth had one
of the finest teams in Western On-
tario, playing all their games at
the old Recreation grounds.
Around this time an industrial
league was formed with teams
participating from Egmondville,
Collegiate, Industries and the Mer-
chants. Then came •a slight lull
with a reorganization of this league
in 1943, when Bosharts, Duncans,
Bell Industries, Main Street and
Excellence Flour Mill entered
teams. Their games were played
in the new sports field at the Lions
Park, which had just begun to op-
erate.
The present team, Seaforbh
Bosharts, was organized in 1946,
to compete in the W.O.A.A., and
has since carried on with an over-
growing success. June of 1948 saw
floodlights installed, and these
have greatly served to increase in-
terest and attendance at this sport.
This year sports enthusiastis in
the area sincerely think that soft-
ball in the surrounding commun-
ity will become even greater than
ever, and become a part of every
citizen's life.
Rotate Poultry
Range
Having a colony house or poul-
try shelter close to the farm home
is naturally a great convenience,
as it saves many steps. But it is
not always a good idea unless
thereis sufficient room to change
the range areaseltom year 'to year,
Land used tod long as a poultry
range, even though on well -drain-
ed sandy soil, is bound ;to become
sour. Then it soon becomes an
ideal breeding place 'for harmful'
organisms which bring intestinal
troubles.
Experts of the Department of
Agriculture say the answer is to
rotate the poultry range. At tore'
Experimental Farm at Harrow,
Ont, the large paddocks are rotat-
ed with poultry one year, a hoed
crop the second, then oats and
alfalfa the third year. The alfalfa
provides range for the poultry dur-
ing the fourth year. Smaller runs
are used every other year with
fresh seeding in the intervening
season. During the early summer
of 1949, 280 young pellets were put
out on plots which had been in two
zi�pp,,d three year ro tiO le . over a
`Nriod tit 20 'Suets.' Ioiir Month's'
later the same number of pullets,
were moved to +Winter. (pattern alnT.
