Cooler Air Replaces Hot Humid Weather To the relief of many and the dismay: of few, the hot, humid air which has clung to Seaforth and district Iike a damp shirt, moved out early this week and was re- placed with cloudy skies, cool ' breezes and temperatures ranging ' in the :75 degree area by day, and down to the 50-55 markers by night, While the hot and humid weather has been responsible for quickly ripeeing grain through the district, there has .been enough rainfall along with the sun to 'boost grow- ing action of area grain crops ahead of schedule., • Whether the hot spell is over or not can be anybody's guess; even the weatherman doesn't deign to say what's in the offing. As the week -end approaches though, cool- er teniperatures and cloudy skies would seem to indicate that the 'Civic Holiday week -end May be the first in over a month and a .half when 'the sun hasn't been just too hot to leave most people sitting where they are, and with no inclin- ation to do anything ,or ego any- where. District 'Old -Timers' Plan Q uiet SundayGet-Together Get The current rush of county and town centennials, old home weeks, reunions and other municipal and 'organization birthday celebrations has been so heavy through this part of Western Ontario during the past st few months that the occasions are almost beginning to lose their novelty through natural reason of their numbers. However, Seaforth is going to play host to a similar• celebration -this Sunday, and although it'll be, on a small scale and is unset om- panied by elaborate advertising or I publicity stunts, it'll he just as im- ! portant and as enjoyable to a group of people as any reun'on or old home week in Western Ontario has been this year. No Frills or ,Fanfare It's a ge'-tigether of Seaforth and district old-timers, and it's planned for Sunday afternoon in the local Lions Park. Th's ga•thei•ing has been conceiv- ed with such a minimum of fanfare and frills that even as this is writ- ten the few local people responsible for the event, don't quite know I who's going to ''.:e there, how many; or from where. But one thing they', do know and that's that there's to be no program preparations, no lunches to bring, or any other trou- ble that would detract from the plain purpose of getting together as many old-timers as possible to just sit and 'talk over old times. Nothing could be much more clear-cut than that, for as one Sea - forth "old boy" recently philoso- phized, "whether the 'old days' were goad or not, we'll always get Lions Pool Treated To High -Pressure Hose There was no fire Monday even- ingthe siren when i sounded. unded. The Lions Park pool' was getting its second clean-out of the season and a few more men, preferabl;' a few with a high-pressure hose to com- plete the job, were rtp,lyd. Who better could fill the bill limo diem. ' bens of the local br'gade? Assisting the park staff on this score t::er„ were F. C. J, Sills, John C Crich, M. E. Clarke, Archie Hubert, Reg. Watcrworth and John Muir ' • Despite the evidence of figur released recently by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, on a nation- wide survey, egg production and trading in this sector of Huron County, largest egg and poultry producing county in Canada, has not decreased. And this came from men in Seaforth and district—the egg and poultry producers and buy err --who should know. Persistent and intense h ea t through June and July, according to interpreters of the survey, can largely be taken as the responsible factor for a.• drop, in national egg production of almost 7,000,006 doz- en. In May an estimated 36,200,000 dozen was tabled, while in June the output was approximated at 29,300,- 000 dozen. Still, the figures show, the June production for 1952 is up from the same month of the pre- vious year when the tattled figure for Canada stood at 26,400,000 •doz- en. • ea The Bureau •makes a further breakdown, noting that average production per hen in July was 15.5 eggs, compared with 17.4 eggs in May. The average in June of 1951 was 15.1 eggs per hen. County Producers' Opinions According to J. M, Scott, Sea- forth poultry farm proprietor, his flock's normal production has been maintained during the hot weather,. despite the fact that it includes over 10,000 hens which, in the ob- servation of some poultry experts, are the laying fowl responsible for the hot weather production decline. Barring summer diseases, Mr. Scott said, hen production in warm- er weather need not necessarily fall if proper seasonal care and ventilation are provided. County Federation of Agriculture president andr tract poultry fame er, Robert S. Mc ercher, said that a lower production level is often reached' in this area in early Aug- ust, rather than in June. If there was a June decrease here at all, he said, the drop would be more likely due to normal hen produc- tion recession prior to summer pul- let laying than anything -else. Another Seaforth poultry and egg producer, W. L. Whyte, opinioned, on the other band, that through his experience unusually hot weather marks an effect on hen's egg out- put and there was not too much one could dp about it. Buyers Note Stability From • the buyer's . standpoint here, however, Bureau figures do not seem to she complying with area facts, or vice versa, W. S. Stuart, manager of the Seaforth Farmers Co-operative, p oint ed to his own re- ceiving ceiving schedule and said that cur- rent buying is not only up to aver- age, but above, If hot weather is making a. dent in' ben production, he said, the loss in this district is rpparently being more than com- pensated through the present egg output cf pullets. Gori Alin at the local branch of the Lublin Creamery egg grading trtinn, expressed a similar obser- valion, remarking thtt an'' dent in receiving due to hen production fall has had the difference largely made up in the pullet production of that atat'on's suppliers. At Hudson's Produce, proprietor haac Hudson observed that no production fall has been evident at his station. He indicated that the opposite, in fact, was the case. As for the excessive heat making an effect on hen production in June and July, Mr. Hudson believed that quality suffered more than quan- tity. Current prices tend to bear out the stability of production in the county district. In the central part if the province and in most large centres, wholesaler to retailer pric- es through July moved around the 70 -cent mark. Here, however, wholesalers were taking an exist - ng price of around 60 cents per dozen, grade A large. At mid -week wholesalers in this district were asking 50-60 on the top grade, a kick out oP talkin.g shout ;hem. I guess that's kind of nit n•n:.•• There it ii, and if any of tie oil er guard from Seaforth, Fgmo,r 1- ville, McKillop or Tucker-•innh think they could "get a kick"-o'rt of talking about the old days they have only to make their way to the Lions Park Sunday-afterruun. It is learned that such old-timers as Mr. and Mrs, Sam Laidlaw'. Sal- ltatchewan; Mr. and Mrs. Jim Grieve, North Dakota; Mn: and Mrs. Arthur Wallace, Roche: ter, N.Y.; Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Sproat, Detroit, and Andrew - Wallace, , Sacramento, Calif., already hope to be in the Park Sunday. Again, it's lust a meeting of old• timers to talk over old times. Don't bother with lunches or any other i preparations that would call for fuss or bother Bring yourself, that's all that's needed.
