Perfect for Gifts • Moos, from Moss four Type Styles • With the onset of cold weather, livestock producers should check their ventilation systems for proper operation, says M. Sojak, Engineering Di- vision, Ridgetown College of Agr icultura 1 Technology. For good cold weather ven- tilation for most livestock, suf- ficient air As required only to remove moisture> Therefore, multispeed ,,and variable speed fans. should. be checked for correct operation in the low speed ranges. Small diameter fans used specifically for winter ven- tilation should also be checked. Louvers should be clea n and working properly. Heavy loads of dirt caked on the louvers or fan blades can reduce the fan output seriously at low-volume rates. Fan hoods are a good in- vestment to reduce wind pres- MRS. DONALD PHILLIPS TYPZ STYLE Al2 • One of the most comMon mis- takes made by people who spend time outdoors in the winter is overdressing. This is not only uncomfort- able but dangerous, because per- spiration and damp clothing can cause a chill. Warm, stylish snowmobile suits help solve this problem because they are lightweight, waterproof, and zip completely down the front. The one-piece nylon jump- suits are appearing more fre- quently every year in the snow- belt, not only on snowmobilers but on others who for a variety of reasons spend time outdoors in winter. OILE BUY A As the snow season looms over North America snowmobile owners in Canadl. are tuning. up their machines, add pros- pective owners are visiting deal- erso'and poring over catalogues. Snowmobile racing is the gliungur sport among snowmo- bile fanciers, but ihe great ority of snowniobile ownetS simply enjoy the thrill of driving their machines from one place to another place through deep snow. Snowmobilers include a wide spectrum of types from snow-fun seeking day-trippers to conservation agents taking ex- tended trips into remote wildlife areas. Now is the time, says Dave Clarkin, President of the Inter- national Snowmobile Industry Association, for all snowmobile users to review the basic safe operating tips that will assure many miles of safe snowmobile operation under almost any con- ditions. The four most important rules for snowmobile trail riding are: '4 (1) Never go on the trail alone; (2) know and respect your ve- hicle; (3) always carry extra fuel for long trips; (4) carry a 'safe- ty kit' of vital spare parts." &NOW AND RESPECT YOUR VEHICLE. The snowmobile is not a toy. The hundreds of park rangers, lumbermen and ranch- ers who use them for basic trans- portation can attest to that. But it is essentially a recreational ve- hicle and as such is- subject to a certain amount of abuse and neglect. Unfortunately, abuse and neglect can lead to breakdown on the trail. And a breakdown On the trail in freezing weather mai miles from aid can be a serious problem. 5 . Snowmobilers are urged to ride with a reasonable amount of caution; to leave the spectacular aerial leaps and open-throttle full-tilt charges to race drivers. The majority of snowmobile operating disorders stem not from mechanical failures but from abuse and misuse of the Vebi c' Snowmobile users are also urged to learn how their en- gines work. The time to check the owner's manual is not after a breakdown has occurred but before the vehicle goes out on its first long trip. Fortunately, snowmobile engines are generally quite elemental in de- sign and , construction and can be easily repaired with a screwdriver, pliers and adjust- able wrench.

Unless tub- -awe sequenced to come on and off at the correct time, even the best designed system will not operate properly. Too many operators set the thermostats to engage simultaneously and over-ventilation is the result. Set the thermostats at three and possibly four settings and check their accuracy against a good thermometer. Another undesirable practice is to shut off the manual switches to tLe large fans in winter, assuming they Won't be needed. These fans should be ready for action at all ,times , in case the sm all moisture control fan fails. if this should happen, the temperature and moisture would rise, thus endangering live- stock. Frequently, there is not enough livestock in the build- ing to keep it warm enough, says Mr, Sojak. A large amount of supplemental heat is then re- quired. To reduce this prob- lem in a farrowing unit, the farmer might bring in his dry sows prematurely.

FLANDERS FIELDS GLIMPSED FROM AFAR The first observance of what is now called Remembrance pay was held on the first Nov. 1 1th after the end of the First World War. Those tragic victims of our other wars have since been honored on this same day. • It as-accepted, in those now tits nt time4 1914-1918, that C nadian history was mainly an e ension of British history. That ression began when, as a> "chi , you found the Union Jack flyin proudly, in full color, in .the , ntroductory pages of ypur publ c school reader, and con- firm through your geography lesso , in which, on the map of the wo Id, the then seemingly selid and invincible British Em- pire, upon which the sun was said to never set, was outlined in an extremely impressive amount of red, representing 16,000,000 square miles of the face of the globe. Today, from an eminence reached after long years at the Avoid _Trips 0,,n Own cost of much blood and hardship- and accompanied by a certain amount of arrogance, if the truth be told-many look back upon these far-off days and years with a kind of casual amusement. One of the more comic aspects of this era, if we are to believe what we are now being told by flippant movie producers, was the way in which men who had been raised on such a square diet of patriotism responded, some- 7 singing brave songs, to ". at was then termed (4 the call of duty." In these modern ver- sions of great past events, the generals and the admirals and other British leaders in one of the bloodiest .and most critical wars in history are treated like so many bumbling Keystone Kops. It is a big laugh now, from this relatively securg vantage point, so dearly earned for us. Perhaps, today, it might be well to remind ourselves that those men who suffered and died in that awful conflict of 1914-1918 were not just tissue paper heroes who lived only in the pages of yellow- ing history books. The ranks of the survivOrs are rapidly dwindling now, and the memory of their deeds grow dim. Let us today offer them some of the honor that is due to them. Two of them were Clarence and Arnold Westcott, identical twins,— born on July 30, 1895 in the small Ontario town of Seaforth. They were born in the frame home of John and Annie Westcott. Their father was a millwright and the family took in boarders to sup- plement his modest income. The twins were inseparable through the years in which they grew up and romped together in the glor- ious anti tranquil Ontario countryside. He who undertook 0 to fight one , had to fight both. Yet they were not above presenting each other with the occasional black eye on their own, during squabbles which brothers, and particularly twin brothers, will readily understand. In the winter they like-d to play shinny on the ice of the river or hunt in the woods, Some- times they arrived home smelling strongly from rides on the backs of hogs and cattle in the stock- pens. And so the light-hearted years rolled by, in their small corner of the mighty Empire marked in red on the map of the world. Then came the First World War. It was in 1915 that the twins joined the 161st Battalion to fight for King and Country. Later, in a letter from Prance to his mother, Arnold ruefully admitted that war was not one long adventure, full of glorious and heroic extitement. lie said it was mainly a fight against dysentery and the Germans, in that order . . ." . In 1918, with the end of the ordeal almost in sight, Arnold was severely wounded in the head by a burst Of enemy shrapnel, an injury which plagued him throughout the rest .of his days.' In that same tragic year, while Arnold still lay in a hospital in Surrey, word came that Clarence had been killed in uteri - just 42 days before the Armistice was signed to end the war that was supposed to end all wars. Thus, in their early twenties, the amful price of freedom was extracted from these two young Canadians who set out together from a quiet Ontario town to keep the sun shining on both Seaforth and Singapore and those other far- flung pieces of an Empire marked in red. Call them foolish and misguided if yOu will. But they did live, and smell a Canadian autumn, and skate on a Canadian river and bask in a Canadian spring. And they did pay a tremendous price for what so many of us now so blithely take for granted, as only our due. Think well On this, you who speak so scornfully of old, old wars and old soldiers, while the camp- fires of new and perhaps even more formidable foes of what We have now casually cOme to know as liberty already plainly glow on the hilltops all around you. * * * * * * * PAST EVENTS The Bingo last Friday night attracted sixty-six players; prizes to the value of $314.00 were won.
