Won't see many of these in fields Spring seeding will soon be in full swing, but there won't be many seed drills such as this one in evidence. Made in Holland "at least" 30 or 35 years ago, the drill is self-propelled. It belongs to Auske Vellenga, formerly of Crediton and now farming in the Kincardine area. Crediton garage operator, Lloyd Hey, right, recently tuned the drill for work this year. The motor had seized and the machine had not been used for several years. Mr. Hey is shown on one of the two seats, while Hilliard Lawrence occupies the other on the left. The steering wheel is interchangeable and swings over to either seat so the operator can drive from either side to follow the row in the field. The original motor on the drill was a two-cylinder gas motor but it is now powered by a four- cylinder Wisconsin. --T-A photo Baptize four at resort By GORPON MORLEY Susan and Sheryl G i lb e r visited Saturday with Mr. & Mrs. Douglas Lewis and family.
