Time and weather can't mar the
perennial good looks of alumi-
num screen cloth. It gets star
billing among builders and home
owners both because it lasts so
much longer and because it
never stains or discolors sur-
rounding woodwork.
It is also the lowest -priced
non -rusting insect screen on the
market. And that adds point to
the happy fact that Canada is
the world's most efficient alumi-
num producer. And that fact,
in turn, means that people who
make aluminum screen and
window frames, rooting and
hardware for Cnada's active
building industry can do so at
prices that save a lot of people
a lot of money.

Ohio University' campus, Athens,
Thio.
The c_onferenee was attended by
3,50Q student delegates from 400
colleges and universities in North
America.
Mr. Dodds said' the conference
was consideredto be the most im-
portant of .its., kind in .the history
of the Student Christian Move-
ment. I The reason for this, he said,
was the .large number of interna-
tional students who attended as
fun delegates. The conference in-
cluded 1,275 students from 80 coun-
tries around the world.
Mr. Dodds attended as a dele-
gate from the Ontario Agricultural
College, Guelph, and while at Ohio
University had the opportunity to
hear outstanding Christian teach-
ers and leaders, ,and to participate
in informal discussions aimed at
increasing'. the interest and com-
mitment of the students in the
Christian world mission.
Ohio University campus appear-
ed' Very much like a junior United
Nations during the five days of
the Ecumenical Student Confer-
ence, Mr. Dodds said. Costumes
from all nations, languages of all"
continents, cultures from all parts
of the world mixed in• friendly dis-
cussion, fellowship and prayer. Ma-
jor issues of the day were discuss-
ed seriously under' -the guidance
of men and women with experienc-
es in the field. Included in these
discussions were the issues of the
new relationship of missionaries
to the younger churchesaround
the world, the problems of colon-
ialism, racism, underdeveloped ar-
eas, new conflicts between Chris-
tianity and the non-Christian re-
ligions, and the relationship of the
Christian faith to areas of rapid
social change:
Primary in the conference was
the focus of attention upon the ne-
cessity for Christians to bring the
reconciling power of Christ into
these revolutionary issues.

CANADIAN
PLOWMEN
ABROAD
by WILL C. BARRIE, Manage,
1955
CANADIAN PLOWING TEAM
W. C. Barrie, of Galt, Ont.,
a past president of the Ontario
Plowmen's Association a n d
manager of the Canadian plow-
ing team at the third annual
World Plowing Match in Swe-
den, has sent home on -the -spot
reports of his trip with -team
members, Joe Tran, of Clare-
mont, Ont., and Ivan.M Laugh-
lin, of Stouffville, Ont. Here is
his sixth and final report.
ABOARD THE EMPRESS OF
SCOTLAND.—The last day of our
Swedish visit was the only wet day
we had. We were very lucky to
see so much of Sweden in fine
weather, as we were told that it
was unusual to have such 'a long
stretch of good weather so late in
the year.
While checking our baggage for
the plane, we were told that our
bags,, which went ,over all . right,
were now 160 pounds. overweight
and we had to pay $34 extra. We
had purchased more souvenirs
than we thought.
At London we were met by the
Esso representative and heartily
received. and all were pleased that
the Golden Plow, having been won
by a Northern Irelander,.was -to
stay 'on British soil for another
year. (Ivan McLaughlin of our
team came second, and our other
team member, Joe Tran, finished
fourth out of 24 plowmen.from 12
nations).
On the following morning Ivan.
Mrs. McLaughlin and Joe Tran ac-
cepted an invitation extended by
the .manages. of the British •team.
Willie Dick, to drive' by car up to
his home in Scotland. Mrs. Bar-
rie and I left by train for Edin-
burgh so as tet have as much time
as possible 'with friends and rela-
tives in"the land of the heather.
During the train trip to Edin-
burgh we saw many large herds of
cattle and sheep. Plenty of pas-
ture was to be seen everywhere,
and the only evidence of a very
dry summer was the small amount
of plowing done. The British far-
mers seem to raise far more live-
stock than the Swedish farmers.
On our trip through Sweden we
saw no beef cattle and the herds
were confined to the Swedish red
and white dairy cattle.
As we drew nearer the 'border
of Scotland there was a decided
change in the appearance of the
countryside. Instead of welletrim-
med hedges and red brick houses
with red tiled roofs, so familiar to
England, we saw grey stone hous-
es and stone walls. More hills and
valleys appeared and the flocks of
sheep were larger.
Old Castles
As we entered Edinburgh we
were most i mpressed with • our
view, of•'the long Bridges spannin,g
the river, and the narrow streets
with grey stone buildings.
On the following morning we
went on a conducted tour of the
city, and saw a few' highlights of
UNETHICAL AND UNJUST
By their nature, alcoholic
beverages cannot be treated
as ordinary commodities. Per-
sonal, domestic and social
problems have always been,
prevalent where indulgence in
liquor has been practiced.
Hence have come "control
systems," designed to protect
the unwary.
It is illogical therefore, to
permit advertising of liquor
by vested interests. Such ad-
vertising offers unlimited ap-
peal, reaching to minors with
whom drinking is not only re-
cognized universally as un-
desirable, but is also contrary
to law.
Constant pressure on this
group as exercised under
present advertising conditions
is 'unethical and .urtjtist.- .
(Advt.).

that old and historic city: Ed-
inburgh Castle, Princes Street,
Scott's Monument and Holyrood
Castle, and St. Giles' Cathedral.
We were taken along the Queen's
Drive and as we drove up the wind-
ing mountain the guide pointed to
a village at the far side below us
and said it was the most famous
watering place in Scotland. Then,
with a chuckle, he said it had six
breweries!
"Come Awa Ben"
From Glasgow we went to visit,
cousins in nearby Barrhead. •Al-
though our grandparents had come
from .Ayrshire .135.. yearsbefore,
we thought we understood the dia-
lect. To be greeted at the door
by "Come awa- ben the hoose"
was worth going a- long way to
hear. The hospitality we receiv-
ed. in Scotland was far 'beyond any-
thing we had hoped for.
While driving through Ayr to
visit Burns' cottage, I stopped at
the newspaper office for a paper.
I mentioned that we came from
near Ayr, Ont. That really start-
ed something. The publisher asked
for an 'interview and had several
pictures taken. We were shown
through the printing office and
loaded down with newspapers and
booklets referring to the 750th an-
niversary of the city of Ayr, which
was .celebrated there three years
ago.
To this anniversary the village
of Ayr in Canada had flown a bou-
quet of flowers inscribed: "To
Ayr by air from Ayr". Ayr is a
lovely seaport made famous by
Burns' cottage. the Burns' Mus-
eum, the Brig-O-Doon and the
monuments to Robbie Burns and
William Wallace.
First Rate Farmer
Meanwhile, the rest of our party,
Mrs. McLaughlin, Ivan and Joe,
were visiting on the farm of Wil-
lie Dick.
Mr. Dick is a striking example
of a successful farmer, and after
hearing about his farm operations,
we began to think we were living
in the wrong country. His wheat
yields are from 70 to 80 bushels
per `acre. and barley from. 80 to
100. 'He has nine tractors and
eight balers, and all of this on 300
acres. He keeps just one cow and
there are no fences on his farm,
After uneventful journeys to Liv-
erpool. our party of five was re-
united. and we boarded the' Em-
press of Scotland. bound for Mont-
real.
The previous trip made by the
Empress was reported to be a
very smooth one, but we can't say
that about this one. Ever since
this voyage began, we have been
tostked about and a goodly number
are on the sick list. including some
of our party,
Tremendous Power
This morning we were fortunate
in being shown through the engine
room by the chief" engineer, and
only then realized the amount of
power it takes to propel a ship of
this size. One hundred and ninety
tons of fuel oil are consumed daily
and 17 men are required for each
of the three shifts. The fuel oil
which looks like molasses is load-
ed in Canada for the round trip.
It is amazing to think that it takes
a crew of 460 to man this ship,
which is carrying only 450 passen-
gers. •
This evening Joe mentioned' it
was his 35th birthday, so the lad-
ies got in touch with the head-
waiter, who had the chef bake a
large fruit cake covered with thick
icing and topped with a model
of
a tractor and plow.. Ivan's silver
cup was in the centre of the table
and the Captain insisted on filling
it with Champagne. When the pian-
ist payed `Happy Birthday To
Von", all of the dining -room guests
jolnecon the singing and Joe,' Who
dvas taken completely by surprise
teethed -more ttervous than he dict
Mild weather has prevailed in
this section the past two weeks. It
hasn't been the January thaw as
yet, but it has been nice to get
.:around. Speaking of getting around,
I must commend the Tpwn em=
ployees on the condition in
Which they have kept the local
streets. True, odd sidewalks could•
stand sanding, but on the whole
the streets are in good shape,
$ $-
Much could be said about the
P.U.C. employee* who the past
week removed all signs of the
holiday season. A hearty vote of
thanks gees to them for their fine
effort in decorating the town's
Main Street so well for the festive
season.
January has b ought about a fair
hustle and bustle on Main Street
with the trend in most store win-
dows to the display of signs and
goods at January Clearance Sale
prices. Business is brisk along
the Main Street.
Reading. -the other day of gun
accidents set us thinking. A 12 -
year -old Lambeth youth was kill-
ed; a Brantford youth was severe-
ly injured when a 22 calibre bullet
passed through both thighs. This
youth was 14.
When one stops to think, one re-
alizes that these youths are actu-
ally children. Then we ask the
question: "How is it that these
children go out carrying . fire-
arms?" It is bad enough when a
grown man is accidentally killed
or wounded, but we think it is a
terrible tragedy when a young life
is cut down in such a manner: An-
other question now comes to mind:
"Who is to, blame in these acci-
dents ,; the child or the par-
ents?" I will leave that ques-
tion for you, the reader, to decide
but in any event something
drastically should be done about it,
and soon. Everyone realizes life
is precious and should be protected
in every way. Whoever is respon-
sible, stop and think what might
happen to your children, or some-
one else, when a gun is in their
hands, These accidents could have
been prevented. Think now and
prevent others, won't you?
Much has been said about driv-
ing carefully these past few weeks,
which brings to min(cl- the inci-
dent that I happened tpon only
last Thursday. Courtesy is asked
' for on the highways, which is a
good thing, but I think it 'should
r be a requirement as well on the
streets in towns. Main Street in
Seaforth quite often is crowded,
and the incident I refer to is just
one matter in the course of a day
in town.
A middle-aged gentleman and his
wife were ready to leave town.
They were parked on the Post
Office side. There was one open
space . ahead of them. Just ' as
they were about to move, a car
pulled into this space. After -a
little squirming, it was parked and
smack • in front of the other car,
leaving not enough space behind
it so that the other car could' be
moved out. When the driver step-
ped out of his car, the middle-aged
gentleman politely asked this man
to move his car ahead so that he
could get his out. The younger
man turned and looked, saying at
the same time: "If you can't get
out of there you shouldn't "be driv-
ing a car!" We thought at the
time that was pretty small. and
especially at this season of the
year. We ask, "Was that cour-
tesy?"
Perhaps incidents, such as that
one, do n happen every day in
Seaforth on Main Street, but there
are other Iittle incidents that
could be remedied if a little cour-
tesy was shown. Don't crowd the
other fellow. Park in the centre
of the parking space when parking
angle -ways, and give the other fel-
low a chance to be able to turn
out when you park the long -way of
the street.
Let us in Seaforth start the New
Year right by being courtpus on
Main Street.
t
Do coincidences really happen?
We think so. The other day we
read an item stating that south of
the border they are changing signs,
from the old drab yellow and
black, replacing them with bril-
liant flourescent ones. and the next
morning we read ,in the paper
where Ontario's Department of
Highways is going to come out
with new signs.
These will be green for direc-
tional instruction; black and yel-
low for curves and crossroads. and
so on. We don't know how far
away these may be seen at night,
but • the new flourescent red ones
to the south of us will be seen a
quarter mile away. With . the
change of the Department's signs
for the betterment of motorists
on the highways, we hope every
town makes changes within its lim-
its for brighter signs also.
Statistics in the States showed
an average of 56 people being kill-
ed on the highways every night
because of man's inability to read
signs after dark.
It appears the slogan. "Stop
Dead For Red", will echo from
coast to coast. and as6'an after-
thought it could be 'said, "Stop
dead for red and look, or you 'may
be stopped dead and never look
again.' Canadians can well learn
a lesson along these lines too. To
drive safely is to drive carefully
do this in '56; you won't re-
gret it and you will be here to
enjoy another drive.
during the two days of plowing in
Sweden!
On the last day aboard ship, the
weather was perfect and the up-
per decks were lined all day with
passengers taking in the sights.
We saw a great many impressive
things during our wonderful trip
abroad, but we found there was
nothing to match the thrill of step-
ping onto Canadian soil and know-
ing we would soon be home onee
aga'in.
