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-

• 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.

Snowmobile racing is the

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.

sure, says Mr. Sojak.
Thermostat setting is ex-
tremely important. 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. These ',cheap
heaters" would help maintain the

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

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.
