in The Standard, we've had dozen
of people tell us of similar suc-
cess with their individual adver-
tisements,
You will remember that Ray
advertised kitchen cupboards with
rather amazing success.
lltoody Ilolland advertised a tent
in the classified section of The
Standard last week and sold it
by noon on Thursday --a mere
few hours after the paper was
posted,
Norman Alexander of Londes-
bore, tells us of similar success
with an advertisement he placed
concerning his seed business in
our neighbouring community,
We wish we could remember all
the people who have told us of
their success, but our memory
fails us at his moment,
We are glad people are kind
enough to tell us when we help
them, There's nothing better for
our ego.
In 'this business particularly,
our successes sometimes go prac-
tically unnoticed. Whereas our
failures come in for ulterings
that are nerve-wracking, to say
'the least.
Many people apparently feel
that newspaper publishers are
supposed to be free from error,
But as they, and all 'publishers

WE ,GET LETTERS
When you write a column like this, you get some reaction.
if you didn't it tvouldn't be worth writing, because it wouldn't be
tvorl'h reading.
A recent column has produced reaction. It dealt with the
load we heap on teen-age kids generally, and contained a list of what
my 1G•year-old, specifically, had to do in the next few weeks.
Two letters arrived smartly, then a third. The first was
from K.D., of Owen Sound, "Your column is net tip to your usual
standard. Not quite so frank. it might have been if you had turned
the X-ray on yourself as well as on the critics of the young people
of today — whoever they may be.
Critics? K.D., meet L. E. Taylor of Toronto. Admitting
that he has mot a few decent teenagers while on summer vacations
in a small town, he adds: "But not so in this big city , .. A great
many cif the teenagers here are the pushing, impolite, immoral bores
to be shunned and avoided wherever possible."
K.D. says; "Any sane 'person jwould know your daughter is
trying to do too nteh. Result of having two over -ambitious parents
, . Each .of you wanting to realize in .each of your children your
own cumbitions. Selfish, I'd say,"
Now wait a minute, there, K.D. You can say what you like
about my \rife. But by gorry, you're all wrong about me. All I
want is for my ,daughter to stop driving her mother nuts, pass her
schoc.l year if :possible, get married (preferably by elopement; I'll
spring for a 50 -foot ladder in lieu of a $1,000 wedding), have about
five kids, and get as much fun out of them as we have out of ours.
Back to Mr. Taylor. He doesn't blame the parents, but the
kids. They have it too soft. Says they have more advantages than
we had but lack initiative and drive. And he lists about 30 things
he was doing, while in high school. Come on, LE., be sensible,
Sure, you did them, But how many others of your age did. There
was darn little initiative and drive during The Depression.
He goes on; "Matric had to be studied, and written off in
sweltering hot June days, with air-conditioning nowhere." It still
does, old boy, in most places, and furthermore, it's about three times
more difficult than the matric you and I passed. And the universities
demand standards far higher, for admission,
Back Ito K.D. "Bet your mother would have had more
sense." (She didn't Jtave jtime. Ed. note) "Whose fault is it that
your daughter and others want to do tso Imuch in and 'out :of school?
Yours and others like you. \What kind of training, 'advice, guidance
have you given her apart from 'strive, strive, strive' and 'achieve,
achieve, achieve'?"
K.D,, you are hereby invited to give my daughter some of
that stuff. But don't blame me if you emerge from the conference
bloody and bruised.
There's more of the same from K.D., and a lot of it good
sense. It ends: "Baloney to your sex, LSD and drinks — mere red
herrings to drag in and show how up+to-date you really are! 'Not
stuffy at all! Ho! Ho!"
Weil, ho -ho to you, K.D. You've been reading too many
articles about punk parents, and not enought about punk kids, If
you think drink and drugs and sex are red herrings, in relation to
teen-agers, you'd better pull yeur head out of that sand -pile.
There you are. ,One correspondent says it's the parents'
fault. The other says it's the kids', They're both wrong. And
both right,
And then came the third letter, balm to tortured nerves,
It Was from an old friend, Edith Rudell of London, Ont. She is
not exactly an amateur commentator. Six boys and a girl. I quote:
"I will frame it (the column) and amen! The fantastic amount of
time and energy and nervous tension expended by my group is not
possible to describe. Furious? Anyway, It exhausts me just being
an onlooker. So bless you, Bill, for putting the thoughts in words,"
And bless you, dear heart, And bless K.D. and fa,

GOOD MILKING ROUTINES
WILL INCREASE PRODUCTION
What should be considered good
milking practice? Dr, l', C. Nel-
son, Veterinary Services Branch,
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture and Food, gives these poin-
ters on good milking practices:
1. Keep cows calm. When
cows are excited a hormone is re-
leased into the blood that has the
oppcsite effect to milk let -down.
It has been said that a frightened
cow and a frightened jackrabbit
give the same amount of milk.
2. Stick to routine. Cows are
creatures of habit and like to be
milked in the same order at the
same time with the sane proced-
ures used. Remember, cows get
used to good practices just as
easily as bad ones.
3. Follow your milking ma-
chine manufacturer's instructions
and recommendations and .have
regular servicing, Only use as
many units as you can handle ef-
fieiently. (maximum, two per
man).
4. Stimulate cows vigorously
and use a thirty-second to one -
minute priming time,
5. Machine strip, but remem,
bet. that over -milking fis undesir-
able,
WINTER WHEAT CROP
SUFFERED SEVERE DAMAGE
The Ontario winter wheat crop
has suffered severe damage from
a wet, cold spring.
An aerial survey juht completed
by the Ontario Wheat Producers'
Marketing Board reveals a loss of
12.1 per cent of the acres planted
last fall.
Mr. K. A, Standing, secretary-
manager
ecretarymanager of the Ontario Wheat
Producers' Marketing Board, said
excessive water in most counties
is responsible for many killed out
areas.
He said the loss will reduce the
provincial crop from 455,000 acres
seeded last fall to 373,730 acres
remaining for harvest. •
Based on last year's yield, this
would mean a provincial crop of
16,444,000 bushels, just slightly
more than last year's (1966) crop
of 16,280,000 bushels. .
Mr, Standing said 4.6 per cent
of the 1965 crop was lost to wea-
ther damage which resulted in
370,000 acres being left for har-
vest out of 403,000 acres seeded.

The Early Years
The opening of a modern
new feed mill for the Blyth
industry of llowson & How-
son Ltd., is the culmination
of 95 years working in the
milling business.
Ift was back in 1872 that
the Howson name first be-
came involved with the mill-
ing trade. In that year,
liam J. Howson started in
the business at Norval, On-
tario. He agreed to learn
the milling trade in that
community for a salary of
$100. per year. It was also
agreed that he would pay $2
per week in board. Provid-
ed he didn't indulge in any
form of entertainment, or
purchase clothing during the
year, this left him with a net
loss of four dollars for the
year's work.
Back in the year 1872 the
minimum hourly svork week
was totally unheard of, Wil-
liam learned his trade work-
ing each day from 7 a.m. to
6 p.m., and then again from
12 a.m, to 3 a.m. each night.
Life in the flour mill at
Norval seemed to offer little
,opportunity to William How-
son. When his apprentice-
ship was served lie decided
to stay in the ,business, but
as owner of his own mill. He
and his twin brother, Archi-
bald, purchased mills at Ab-
erfoyle. They then moved
to Teeswater where they
rented and operated a mill
prior to building a new roll-
er mill (one of the first roll-
er mills in the area) in the
sane community,
In 1899 Archibald bought
a mill at Arthur, Ontario,
and William purchased a
flour and feed mill in Wing -
ham. This mill was operat-

show is only
many features
ed during the
ed by water . power, and
when the water in the race
held up, could turn out ap•
proximately 200 bags of flour
during a 24 hour period. In
order to obtain peak produc-
lion, William and his three
helpers often worked around
the clock in shifts.
In 1917, William's son,
Frank Howson, became a
Worker and a partner' in the
mill; He helped to develop'
the business during the
change from horse-drawn
wagons to delivery trucks.
When reminiscing 'of his first
years in the milling busi-
ness, Frank can recall many
bone -numbing winter rides
on a sleigh loaded with flour
for bakeries and grocery
stores. On flour deliveries
he would also stop at farms
to pick up grain to be pro-
cessed into feed at the mill.
The owners of Howson &
Rowson, since the begin-
ning, have always shown a
desire to keep up with the
tines. The invention of the
lrorseless carriage, and later
the development of heavier
load -carrying vehicles, pre-
sented the opportunity to
offer customers even greater
service. In 1924 they pur-
chased their first truck, This
extended the distance and
speed of delivery and pick-
up which was a major sour-
ce of increased business. By
1931, ('when the mill became
a franchised Purina outlet),
Howson and Howson were
doing business within a 35
mile radius of Wingham,
Flour was also sold to Mon-
treal markets, as well as be-
ing exported to Britain and
other U. K. countries,
The depression years af-
fected the industry, as it
did all others, but business
continued' to inch ahead,
One great loss, However, was
suffered by the death ct
William Howso'i in 1932,
From the be !inning, uv l
the present 1967 the milling
industry, of Howson and
Howson Ltd, has proven to
be one of value and service
to the agricultural commun.

THE' BI,YTH STANDARD
EXPANDING FEED BUR -
NESS PROMPTS PUR-
CHASE OF BLYTII MILL
Toward the end of the Se-
cond World Wear, farming
commenced a steady trend
of improvement in the area
served by Howson and How-
son Ltd. In 1943 the. pres-
ent manager of the organiza-
tion, Fred Howson, became
a full partner with his fa-
cher Frank, With the desire
to keep progressing with the
growing farming community,
the two owners immediately
took steps to strengthen the
mill's feed service.
Keeping a keen eye on the
ever expanding' feed bust.
ness and with desire to ex•
pant their business even
further, the Blyth feed and
flour mill was purchased in
1947 from Mr, Irvine Wal-
lace, The building boasted
only one electric light bulb
at the time of the purchase,
but the new owners soon
made sweeping improve -
monis, The following year
they tripled. the _,production
of the flour mill and greatly
improved the feed mill fa-
cilities.
The year 1949 saw yet an•
other step in the growth of
the feed millers. A third
mill was purchased at Car -
FIRE RENDERS WINGIIAM suddenly and disasterously;
At this point in the business
life of the organization,
three mills were working to
full oapacity. Lightning
struck the Winghtirn'tni11 and
the resulting fire leveled the
building to the ground.
Rather than build a new
mill at Wingham, the How -
son's expanded their produc•
lion at Blyth and Cargill and
increased the capacity to
that of the–Livid' trill "pre.
duction.
A feed store was opened
at \Vinghanm and has steadily
increased its output since
that time.
MILL USELESS
The growth of Howson
and Howson Ltd, hasn't
been all sugar and honey.
Disaster in the form of fire
strt►ck- the milling industry
in 1950.
Tit was three years after
the purchase of the Blyth
Mill and just one year fol•
lowing' the purchase of the
Cargill Mill that fire struck
gill, Ontario, and it, along
with the Blyth mill, is still
operating efficiently.

THE BLYTH STANDARD
% MANY LOCAL PEOPLE
EMPLOYED AT BLYTH'S
FLOUR MILL
Since coming to Blyth in
1947, the firm of Howson
and Howson Ltd. has be-
come one of our major in•
dusl'ries, At the.'present
bine, about twenty-five peo-
ple are employed to form a
smoothly operating work
force,
Progressing from the pur-
chase of one truck back in
1924, the firm now operates
or contracts seven vehicles
hauling daily to and from
the mill. Of these, three
are 9 -ton trucks ,and two 15 -
ton,
During an average day's
operaldons, Howson and
Howson produce 1,100 bags
of flour and between twenty-
five and thirty tons of feed,
They could produce up to
sixty tons a day on demand.
Grain prices offered by
the Blyth mill to cash crop
farmers are quoted daily in
the London newspaper.
OLD ABERFOYLE MILL
CONVERTED TO A
RESTAURANT
The old Aberfoylc Mill,
where Main Howson star -
led milling flour, has since
that time been converted
from a mill, first to an anti-
que store and now to a steak
house,
Several members of the
Howson family visited there
recently to enjoy the facilit-
ies now offered in the build-
ing. They not only enjoyed
a very fine meal, but also
made a tour of the premises
and discussed the history cif
the building with the pres-
ent owner,

Fourth Generation Are Now Partners In
Howson and Howson ltd.
Dating back as far as 1917,
Howson and Ilowson, Ltd.
has been operating as a fam-
ily business, In 1899 Wil-
liam Howson first shorted in
the flour and fecd business
in Wing!ham. Eighteen years
later ,in 1917, his son, Frank,
joined the business as a
partner. This partnership
- continued until 1032 when
William died.
During the year 1943
FEED MILL GROWTH RE-
LATED TO AREA
FARMERS
Any business, large or
small, simply could not op-
erate without the pleasant
and practical business rola-
tions of a certain number of
patrons. Howson and How -
soon Ltd. is no exception,
In fact Fred Howson, man-
ager of the mill, relates the
growth of their feed busi-
ness to the farmers of their
trading area,
At every stage in their
history, the Howson's have
tried to the best of their
ability 1.o give farmers ev-
erything
v•erything they neecl and ex -
peat from a mill. "We could
not grow," said Mr. Howson,
"if we didnst oiler the ser-
vice our customers need."
"In fact t doubt if we could
stay in business."
lie also expressed grati-
tude for the excellent em-
ployee relationship they
have enjoyed since moving
to Blyth. He said they had
tremendous influence in the
growth of the mill.
No one can doubt the fact
that his reasoning has been
extremely effective.

Frank Howson was joined
in the business by his son,
Fred, and they have manag-
ed the business together
since that date.
From the period 1960 to
1964, the fourth generation
of TTcwsons became part•
ners in this milling enter-
prise. Jim !Towson, Fred's
eldest son, entered the busi-
ness in 1960. Itis brothers,
Bill and Doug followed him
in 1964.
A fifth generation is pros-
ently growing and being
educated in our community.
No doubt in the years to
come they, too, will take
their place at the helm of
the firm. It is quite con.
ceivable that the name of
Howson will be first and
foremost in the Canadian
flour industry for many
years to come.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
ATTENDED SEMINAR AT
IIANOVER
Members of Jehovah's Witnes-
ses in this area have just arrived
home after attending a three clay
seminar in Hanover this past
weekend, which saw attendance
figures reach 721, Discourses and
demonstrations emphasized the
impontance of building and main-
taining a Christian faith that en-
dures.
A baptismal service was con-
ducted Saturday afternoon by Mr,
Montangue Mais, District Super-
visor of Jehovah's Witnesses, Be.
fore the candidates were taken
for water immersion, Mr, Mais
explained this to be a serious step
taken by each of Jehovah's Wit-
nesses to signify a personal dedi-
cation to God,
'Phe feature of the assembly
\vhich aroused the most enthusi-
asm was the film showing Sunday
afternoon on the subject, "God
Cannot Lie." Expressing the feel-
ings of Witnesses attending, Mr,
Mais said, "In an age when it is
becoming fashionable to say that
God is dead, it is thrilling for
honest -hearted persons to see evi-
dence by the medium of motion
pictures that God indeed is alive
and is working out his purposes
for earth and man upon it."
Further describing features of
the film, the "Awake" magazine
one of Jehovah's Witnesses main
journals with a circulation of
8,950,000 per month and printed
in 26 languages comments, "It
provides opportunity to view
physical evidences that corrobor-
ate what God, through his inspir-
ed prophets, said concerning pla-
ces and events in the Bible lands,
The effect of seeing such places
as Petra, Megiddo, Tyre and oth-
ers in connection with Bible pro-
phecy caused Mrs. L. Alantin, of
Brussels, to exclaim, "Whoever
said a picture is worth a thousand
words certainly spoke the truth"
