With the weatherman Seeing eye to eye with us, the Seaforth 49th Cadet Corps staged its big review with first-rate honors. Inspecting Officer Major J. C. Gardiner con- gratulated the Cadets and officials for the first-class performance and expressed• his realization of the time involved in providing . such a colorful performance. Accompany - Major Gardiner was Lieutenant A. P. Rankin, who complimented the exhibit groups for 'the •precise knowledge of rifle, grenade, L.M-G., signalling and map reading tactics. A colprful display was perform- ed by the bugle band, whose new swing livened up the whole show- ing. Although Sergeant Major Bill Flannigan had a smaller group to work with this year, it leas soon found that powerful buglers come in small packages. During the past week several pounds have been lost during the girls' rhythmics, which dazzled the Wednesday onlookers with their intricate timing. Honorary cadet awards were presented to Marg. Achilles and Peter Spittal, while Joanne Beuer- mann and David Adams copped the award for being the best cadet of- ficers. The time has come, the walrus said, For men of many ways, To inhale the teachings of this life, And absorb its knowledge rays.

GRANDMA'S DILEMMA The rocking chair is obsolete (Or so the doctors say), And to rock and cuddle baby Just isn't done today. All the age-old Grandma customs - Have been Laid upon the shelf, And the modern trend for baby is: Let him express himself. Mustn't tell him fairy stories, Santa Claus is just a hoax; He must learn to be dependent On himself and not his folks. When he doesn'twant his -carrots, Draws with crayons on the wall, You must never, never scold him Or he won't develop at all! If he throws his toys and playthings 'Til they're battered, bruised and busted, He's not being mean and hateful, He's ]llat socially maladjusted. If be has a temper tantrum, Says he hopes his sister dies, Don't berate him for his feelings, Have him psycho -analyzed. If he sucks his thumb, he's lonely, Or may even he frustrated, What a sad. sad day for Baby .When his folks got educated. All this talk of child neurotics To a Gra.ndm'a is bewilderin', With my rocking chair and hair brush, I raised seven happy children. Every one is well -adjusted, Every one grew tall and strong, Now along comes modern science, Says I raised them up all wrong. I may be a bit behind times, With my rocking chair and such, But I think that modern parents Spoil the rod a mite too much. E(MONDVILLE and Mrs. Paul Jahn, of Flint, Mich., visited with Mr. and Mra. Elmore Stephenson, also with friends at Varna. Mrs. Margaret F.rratt, of Toros- to, visited with her brother, Thos. •Robinson, and, family ,on Monday. ..

There were about 70 guests present: Mrs. Pierce and Billie, of Gode- rich, were weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Clarke. There'd be fewer problem children, Family life would be more sweet, If old Grandma and her hair brush Were not quite to obsolete! --Gloria, M. Logan, In the Winni- peg Free Press Prairie Farmer.

Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, report that amplified radio programs have been used on at least one farm in Eastern Ontario to protect a field of grain corn from bird damage. Rotating Crop Reduces Potato Scab When potatoes are grown every year on the same ground over four times as much scab occurs as on tubers grown on plots devoted to potatoes every second year, says L. F. Ounsworth, Experimental Sta- tion. Harrow, Ont.. In an experiment to improve the organic matter level of the soil, five different green manure treat- ments were used. Every second year was devoted to these soil - building crops with the alternating years given to raising potatoes. Two check treatments were includ- ed (11 potatoes every year and (2) potatoes every wear followed by 14) tons of rotted manure annually. The experiment has been in oper- ation for six years and readings were taken in the sixth year to de- termine the scab index for the var- ious treatments. The potatoes from the Check treatments were over four times as scabby as those grown alternately 44.
