Library Board Meets The annual meeting of Grand Bend Library Board held on Tuesday of last week. the on of- Inez Desjardine is from the telephone is visiting with her sis­ brother-in-law, Mr. and “No reserve — Farm is sold— Terms cash!” How final it all sounds. What heartbreak is in a sale listing! We wonder. More often than not it is the work of a lifetime. The farmer getting on in years, feels he can no longer cope with ’ the farm work. He has sold the farm. The home he has known since he married. Maybe he was born there. His family grew up there and went down the road to the school — and from there they went on into other walks of life, The old farmer did not resent this, although he had hoped “the boy” would farm. In his mind he asks “Did I fail somewhere?” We believe not, but rather he gave "the boy” opportunities he had never known. Does the auction sale mean that this man’s interest is finish­ ed in the community? Not al­ ways. More often than not he has sold the farm to a young couple and has left a tidy sum invested as a first mortgage. Some sunny day next summer, he will drive by the old farm. Not to see how the new owner is doing, but just to take a how often road from now finds put in. He will drop friend next door and sometimes wish he were back. There are the other men who have to sell out for health rea­ sons, who have entered business or taken positions which they believe to be more suited to their capabilities. Not that these sales are less heartbreaking. It is im­ possible to work with land and animals without forming some attachment. ' The severing of these ties is no small task. Most farmers take pride in the farms and stock. We often think what thoughts must cross their mind. Machinery is nothing but steel, but the animals are something else. We remem­ ber buying a cow when we start­ ed farming. We returned for her the day after the sale, we can’t remember ever seeing anyone “more despondent than that far­ mer”. It was easy to see that he was lost without his livestock. They were a part of him. So we wonder. It’s auction sale time again. To some it means bargains; to others it’s a good out, hut to many of the men who have an auction sale •— who kpows? DO YOU AGREE? '•Land is worth twice the value of livestock it will support.” Formula used by Judge Joe Mon­ tague, counsel for the South Western Cattle Raisers, Mexico. (Good discussion point.)
