EVERYBODY LIKES HOG FEEDS A GOOD ENDING TO A TALE... The tale of these pigs is that they're going to market` very soon now. They've done very well, too, because they're only about 51, months old, and they're going to market on less than 600 pounds of feed each. You see, these are SHUR-GAIN fed pigs. From 10 weeks of age to 120 pounds weight they got SHUN. -GAIN Hog Grower. From 120 pounds to market weight, they got Hog Finish er. The end of the tale? They brought a high percentage of "A" Grades, and return- ed their owner. a good .profit. You'll be able to tell a similar tale, by feeding SHUR-GAIN. • Geo. T. .MickIe 81 Sons Ltd. • HENSALL, ONT.

Australian (Continued from Page 2) attractions. The newest ,and currently 'most popular of these is "Surfers' Para- dise" on the coast north of Syd- ney.' As the name implies, visi- tors can enjoy a beach and surf- ing second to none with modern accommodation and facilities at a price which gives added value and a bright new look to the Canadian dollar. For example, rooms at various hotels and guest houses vary from $3 to $6 a day (including break- fast), and apartments are also available from $6 per day per person. Don't do what I did -book in at a Sydney hotel and then take my breakfast at a cafe . - , being un- aware that I was paying for same with my room! Another one of the newer resort spots is Hayman Island lying off the Queensland coast. Here, mod- ern twin bed suites, somewha similar to the latest American motel, can be obtained for $5.00 per day per person. Take a Ferry Ride Sydney is world-famous, and so is -its fine and beautiful harbor which is criss-crossed by ferries taking commuters to and from work. Tofill in an hour or two, I caught the ferry from downtown Sydney to Manly (of Beach fame) -a 35 minute run each way at a_ cost of about twenty-five cents return. While in Sydney I was fortun- ate in being the guest of Norman Ellison, Canadian Pacific Airlines public relations representative, well-known journalist, and gener- ally considered to be the dean of Australian Aeronautical writers. Ellison is a member of the fabu- lous Tattersalls' Club in Sydney ' which has a turf background and is world famous. Wonders to be seen there include its swimming pool on the third floor and the "Settlement Room" where once ev- ery week on "Settlement Day" race wagers are paid off and don't think the Aussie is a piker when it conies to betting. I met Ken Ranger, well-known Sydney bookmaker, who may car- ry over fifty thousand pounds on a single race. If you can wangle a visit to this club I guarantee you'll enjoy the experience. And one more thought -when in Sydney don't miss trying the local crayfish. A medium size one tips the scales at two pounds, and the white flesh is a gourmet's delight but the .local oysters, while delicious, are babies compared to what we get here in Eastern Can- ada. Waltzin' Matilda There is nothing more Australian better known overseas, than the title of the country's unofficial na- tional anthem, "Waltzin' Matilda." The origin of the title is in keeping with the feelings in the hearts of this land's sons, wherever they may be. - A "swagman" who roamed the State of New South Wales became married to a girl (against her parents' wishes) by the name of Matilda and took her with him on his waderings in the Australian bush. According to the story, the many years in this strange exist- ence until the wife became ill and eventually died. The widowed swagman in his sorrow and loneliness would prop his swag (,rolled blanket and small belongings) against a tree and talk to it as he used to his wife, all the time addressing 'the swag as "Matilda." Hence, when you are carrying your swag you're always "Walt- zin' Matilda." (To be continued) r DUBLIN.

TO THE EDITOR (Continued from Page 2) season has passed and, in spite of the fact that provision was made in the March budget and our Con- servative candidate made lavish promises, the road was not paved this summer. They are just be- ginning to get at it now after an entire tourist season has been sacrificed. If you'll pardon the expression, sir, Huron once more got the small end of the stick! That is, unless you consider the glorious and costly spreading of straw, it turns out, doesn't grow grass after all! Yours faithfully, JAMES SCOTT Toronto, Sept. 10, 1955. Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: I got plenty to think about from your "Farm News" writer's piece dealing with the op- erating costs of farm tractors, and it is pretty clear that the mechan- ization of agriculture, under which faithful Old Dobbin has moved off- ; Cage, together with 200,000 of our work -trained farm boys and girls moving into more profitable em- ployment in town and city,, has its :,rice also. With farm income still declining, ere is one reader who. thinks that it will soon be necessary for rural ::+nadians to follow their town and tty cousins into the unlovely busi- ,ess of cost -accounting and learn ng bow to take care of operating costs, depreciation and interest on capital invested, before arriving at their net revenues. There is far too general a ten- dency to spotlight the farmers' gross cash income, and leave it at that. This adittedly, often makes a reasonably pretty picture, but it simply is not in line with the facts. May I encroach on your valued space, in which to add the follow- ing realistic paragraph on "Farm Operating Costs" as .run in one of the prairie farm papers recently: "Goods and services used by Can- adian farmers cost about 21 times as much today as they did in the immediate pre-war years. Farm wages are up nearly five times. Using an index of 100 as represent- ing the average costs of goods and services in the 1935-39 period, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics (Ot- tawa) places April '55 costs as foI- lows: Equipment and materials, 204.7; taxes and interest rates, 174.6; farm wage rates, 452.2; fam- ily living 'coats, 203.8; farm mach- inery, • 198.1; building irnaterials, 307.2; gasoline, oil and grease, 151.7; feed, 217.8; binder twine, 241.0; hardware, 1.99." It costs real cash to farm to- day. It is high time the industry plowed the fact into urban minds. "HURONIAN" YOUTH AND ALCOHOLISM Does your child follow the gang? Of course he does. All young people want the approv- al of their friends and most will drink to win it. Girls as well as boys become involved this way, and drink for them is a greater peril than for boys. Young people- often drink as a reaction from insecurity or a sense of inferiority. Even a bad case of acne may lead to drink.' And once drinking becomes a habit, the trend to alcoholism can begin very ,early- Youth should know that the age level of Canada's alcoholics has changed alarm- ingly. In 1942, 40 per cent were under 40. Ten years lat- er, 20 per cent were under 35. This steady lowering of the alcoholti age so concerned the A.A. group in Toronto at a recent convention that they saw fit to set up a' special youth section. It should be stressed continuously that as yet no test has been devised to show which "moderates" will become ''alcoholics."--. (Advt. ). Of'T E WEEK Louis Gormley Mr. and Mrs. Bannon.
