Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Upon arrival in Upper Canada
they stayed with the Donaldsons in Binbrooke Town
ship, where Mr. Tough worked for a butcher for a
while before coming to the Bronson Line, Stanley
Township. They settled on the farm how the property
of Gerrit Zondag and later moved to the east side of
the line to the farm now owned by Noah Gingerich.
Members of their family were, John who stayed
with his parents and eventually took over the farm. He
was married to Jessie Carnie and they retired to Bay-

from the floor to a request by
President Lou Ludlow for a new
’executive committee for the
next season, which it is hoped
will be able to commence activ
ities in the fall, but. a greater
measure of response will be
needed from the parents to fill
at least six still vacant jobs on
the new executive' if the Home

tinue in the future, otherwiise
there will be no alternative but
to discontinue. Anyone interest

counts and lijopie was .expressed
that they would again grow this
year sii^ce their severe‘deple
tion <va£ largely dup to the re-
'decoration of the church in
1966,
It was resolved" not to con
sume any of the funds invested
unless absolutely necessary, be
cause the interest received
would eventually be greater
than the capital itself,
A hope was expressied that
more collectors would offer
their services and it was point
ed out that the monthly visits
were much appreciated by some
of those contributing. It was
decided that volunteers should
be referred to Mr. G. Bell
chamber who is chairman of the
fund, so that the fund which
serves as an Emergency “cush
ion” may continue.
It is hoped that during, the
summer increased donations
and reduced1 expenditures will
help a small reserve to 'be ac
cumulated'.
Finance committte members
present were F. P.. Arkell,

chamber, Mrs. F. LeBeau and

"Excellent control of both grasses and broad-
leafs." That's the comment of many large,
successful growers of soybean and fieldbean
crops. Treflan stops weeds before they start to .
grow by killing the weed seed as it germinates.
The result, you get greater yielding crops be
cause there's more nutrients, moisture and
light for your, crops; less time-consuming,
harvesting, stoppages caused by weeds; and
more efficient use of fertilizer. For dependable
weed control that helps you make more profit
