COLUMBAN.—James Nolan,. 69, of McKillop Township, died sud- denly at his home from a heart attack, just after returning from church. He was stricken while tak- ing off his coat. Born in County Wicklow, Ire- land. he came to Canada in 1912, and for a time worked with the Canadian Express Company ,at London. Later he started farm- ing near Beechwood. Surviving besides his wife, the 'former Elizabeth Krauskopf, of St. Columban, are six sons: Dennis 'and Joseph, St. Columban; Louis, `Seaforth; James, St. Thomas; Frank and Vincent, at home; and five daughters.

Any persons clumping on, the streets and public property will be prosecuted according to the laws. PROPERTY COMMITTEE Town of Seaforth FARM NEWS Livestock The outlook for 1956 is for heav- ier marketings in all classes of meat animals except sheep and lambs. " Hog prices are not hxpected to show much improvement over those prevailing in •the fall of 1955 in either the United States or Can- ada, except for the usual seasonal rise during the summer. Cattle prices are expected to be slightly lower. Marketings of cattle, not includ- ing feeders, returned to country points, will likely exceed the 1955 figure by about five per cent and equal the record established dur- ing the Second Warld War. This, will provide the bulk of the in- crease in total meat supply. If history repeats itself, cattle the num- bers will reach peak of the third cycle since 1928. Calf mar- ketings are expected to increase moderately over 1955 and reach a new record. Most of the evidence points to another big year for hog production. Marketings of hogs are expected to be near the six million I mark, an advance of less than tWe per cent over 1955. Most of this 'increase will come during the first, half of the year. There is little to.tindicate any important changes in sheep and lamb mar- ketings which, given good weather, will likely lbe about the same as in 1955. A larger population and a con- tinued high level of consumer .de- mand, coupled with somewhat low- er prices, should induce an in- crease in domestic disappearance of meat great enough to offset the additional production that is ex- pected. Domestic disappearance of beef, veal and pork are all ex- pected to rise. with production while any changes in the disap- pearance of mutton and lamb will, likely depend on the amount im- ported. Since the domestic market is ex- pected to absorb the additional pro- duction, exports of ;both live ani- mals and meat in 1956 should•be about the same as in 1955.

James Cross, of 114onkton United Church, was present to give spiritual advice on the duties Of a council. He emphasized that they must try to understand the pub- lic's viewpoint and as Lincoln al- ways stressed, do what is right;' Kipling's .poem, "If", was used in conclusion. Declaration of office was sub- scribed to by all members and they proceeded with business at hand. The minutes of the final meeting of the 1955 council were read and adopted. Road accounts, amounting to totalling $432.34, were ordered paid. Reeve'•,William H. Chaffe wax appointed Logan's representa- tive to the Mitchell Fair Board and the Thames Valley Authority. The road superintendent reported $59,809.48 had been spent on roads in 1955 and applih^ation is to be made for grant on same. Salaries of the officials and employees were set the same as in 1955.

As in other recent years most of the milk will be used to produce dairy products for the domestic market. More than half of the additional milk that is expected in 1956 is likely to be absorbed in the fluid milk market. During 1956 production and con- sumption of creamery butter and cheddar cheese are likely to be very nearly in balance. The rapid expansion in demand for concen- trated milk products during recent years is expected to lead to a re- cord production of evaporated whole milk and dry skimmed milk. A continuing favorable export de- mand for dry whole milk may re- sult in a record output of this pro- duct. • Eggs and Poultry During the first four or five months sof 1956, egg marketings are expected to be lower than in the corresponding period in '1955, but should exceed current con- sumption .slightly. The egg price outlook during this period will be determined by how attractive stor- age operations appear to egg dis- tributors. If the laying flock re- placement hatch is early and large storage operations will not be at- tractive. This development would exercise a depressing influence on egg prices. A small early hatch, on theother hand, would exercise a buoyant Influence' on prices. The level of egg prices in the second half of 1956 will depend largely on the timing and size of the 1956 hatch. More poultry meat may be pro- duced in 1956 than in 1955 and can be attributed to continued expan- sion of the commercial broiler in- dustry .and a larger turkey 'crop. Poultry prices in 1956 are not ex- pected to differ greatly from those of 1955 larger supplies and com- petition from other meats are ex- pected to offset the influence of a continued strong demand.

CROSSROADS (By, JAMES SCOTT) Something Lost It seems to me that it is some time since we have had a winter so like those I remember when I was a boy—in one respect at least —as the one we are enjoying right now. Of course, before this sees pript, all may change, but as I write this, outside it is- clear and frosty. Everything is white with a crisp, powdered snow. It is, in fact,' what we used to 'call good sleighing weather. • But alas! there is something lacking. There are no sleighs any more and very few horses to draw them if there were. Somebody mentioned how nice it would be to have 'a good old-fashioned sleigh ride the other day and I. agreed that it would be, a lot of fun.• But there. was a catch. Rightoff hand, I couldn't think of very many plac- es where you could get hold. of a horse and sleigh in Huron County. It was not always like this.'Peo.- ple of my years, or older can eas- ily remember what the Main Street looked like on a Saturday after- noon when .all the folk from the country had come in by sleigh or cutter. There would be a ;steady stream of horse-drawn vehicles slipping down the hard -packed road accompanied :by the merry tinkle of a hundred bells,. It was a nice sight and somehow I can't help but regret ,that it has gone. Visitors to Canada used to say that the 'sleighing in the winter time was one of the most inter - Dead Cow Stolen . "Things have come to a pretty pass!" said a local farmer to the editor of The §tandard over the weekend. "when you can't leave a dead cow at the road gate without it being stolen." The facts behind this statement are'that the farmer upon finding his cow dead tele- phoned a firm who deals in dead and disabled animals to have the beast removed from the premises. A truck could not be sent fdr the animal until Wednesday afternoon of last week. Mr. Farmer drew the dead cow to within 100 feet of the road early in the week,'and on Tuesday afternoon. in broad day- light. a truck pulled up to the gate, which is some distance from the house. and proceeded with block and tackle to draw the dead ani- mal the remaining 100 feet to the road, load it in the truck and drive off, the farmer. who was watching faom the house. thought nothing of it. He found out the next day when the firm he had phoned came along for the animal. Some brassy character had taken advantage of a situation. and removed the ani- mal the day before.—Blyth Stan- dard. Special Crops Flaxsebd supplies for 1955-56 are at near record levels, and exports are expected to absorb the greater part of the quantity available. A strong demand for linseed oil has stimulated - flaxseed prices during the past year, and no decline is in sight. Soybeans and husking corn `both attained new levels of production in 1955. The price of these crops has been lower than in 1954-55, a reflection largely of lower prices in the United States, where our imports originate. , Canada's . sugar beet production in 1955 Was:; sufficient to supply less, than 20 per cent of our sugar 're- quirements during 1955-56; as us- ual, the balance of requirements will be provided by imported raw Bane sugar. Sugar prices have re= celrtly; been fairly steady, and ,no ;change is foreseen. t,J in 1955, the acreage to be seeded in Western Canada in 1956 for several of the special crops, flaxseed and rapeseed in particu- lar, may be expected to increase, partly owing to the fact that these crops:, 'are not subject to delivery quota§. CommoTn' 'sense is the favorite daughter of reason.—H. W. Shaw. Lethbridge, a Alberta citi+ which was built on coal, now burns natural gas. _ Canadians are still- the world's greatest telephone conversational ,fate: During 1968—latest fligtfre3 vallable Carla"dians averaged 411 a onversatr6ns• e h ii esting and distinctive things about the Canadian way of life. In those times it was said that the weekly tandem ride in Montreal from Viv- toria Square to Place d'Armes could not be equalltd anywhere in the world the except t e old Rus- sian royal city of St. Petersburg. In Montreal in those days, the art of sleighingreached a fashionable peak which has never since been seen. Scores of the most beautiful cutters 'in- the world, drawn by the finest and most spirited horses Were to be seen every Saturday. Special clubs were formed just for the purpose of sleigh -riding and everybody vied with his neighbor for the most graceful turnout and the best horses. The cutters came in all sizes from those drawn by a single high-stepping trotter to family sleighs pulled by four won- derful matched horses. . The people themselves- enjoyed the drive. Muffled in furs, a young blade would tape his best ,girl out for 'a dashing turn along the road, taking no mean pleasure ins just showing her off. And in the cities the less fortunate people would turn out just t$ watch the people in the cutters taking delight in the grace and beauty of both the equipage and the occupants. As one old-time writer put it: "To 'me, the sight of a pretty woman and a fine horse is feast enough for one day. I shall come again next Saturday.” Can you imagine anything like that today? I'm afraid not. The youth and beauty of our land flit. past up so quickly that our old eyes don't even catch the make of the convertible they are driving. The whole place hasbeen so speed- ed up that nobody gets much en- joyment out of watching today's quick -moving traffic. And it' seems too bad. It's a heavy price to pay for progress when we have to sacrifice a cus- tom which gave so much pleasure to se many people and which brought so much fame and re- nown. to Canada. There are not too many things in this country which can be said to be exclusive- ly and peculiarly Canadian, and we can ill afford to lose any of. them. .. But the horse and cutter have gone. They are as dead as yes- terday and their like will not be seen again, except as quaint curios- ities of ther times. We have lost something without a doubt, but I don't think there is anything anybody can do about it.
