The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1965-09-16, Page 20By MRS. ERVIN RADER a Yes! We're expanding Although we can't show you much in this picture, in a month's time we will have four additional cement silos to dou- ble our storage capacity for corn and other grains. This we hope will increase our effectiveness to give better service to a grain growing area. A large corn drier, standing as high as the silos, will be installed. It is the largest we could buy. Its capacity ,is rated at 500 bushels per hour and will probably dry between 7,000 and 8,000 bushels or more of corn per day. Being a continuous and automatic drier, one man only will be required to check samples of corn for moisture on the hour. Where we used four driers last year in the corn rush and many men and trucks to move the corn, now one man and one drier will do the same job and increase our capacity as well. Private enterprise has always been and still is the back bone of our community and country. The profit system has en- abled Canada to forge itself into the leadership of the world. We have always believed that the earnings of our firm should be turned back into the business, which we have done, to pro- vide better services, more efficient machinery, new facilities and new ideas to keep up with the big changes and challenges that the agricultural industry faces. The Change To Liquid Fertilizer A switch has taken place in the U.S.A. and now in Canada. We are pleased that we are part of this change and have made available to this area the facilities for the use of liquid fertilizers.

Almost as certainly as school begins in September, boys and girls of all ages begin asking, "Are we going to the fair this year?" And if your children are at all wise in the ways of the world, the next question will invariably be, "How much money can I have to spend?" By the time Fair Day has arrived, mother has the feeling that she is going for the umteenth time in the month. Her offspring have taken her on several imaginary trips to the fair and through the vivid descriptions of her excited youngsters she has been dizzy of the ferris wheel, stuffed with cotton candy, loaded with every kind of trinket it is possible to win or be handed, gummed and gooied with can- died apples and exhausted by a mile-long hike over and over the midway. Varied agenda at Usborne council meeting All mothers love to see the parade. All children hate it. The result is a public struggle which causes childless couple s and spinsters to become more con- vinced that their status in life is supreme. Older children simply demand their mad money and leave for the wonders of the inner con- fines of the grounds. They do not return until the loot is spent and they want more. Younger ones pull and tug in the direction of the hotdog stands until mother discovers she has been jostled to the admission gates right along with the lead band! As the remainder of the parade winds through the street, mother has already purchased two bags of popcorn, one en- graved identification bracelet and watched nervously as Junior spun wildly around on the kiddy chairs. ON TO THE BUILDING You haven't lived life to the full until you have toured the exhibits' building with a stroller and two hands full of children. Although it requires the stamina of a work horse, most women at- tempt the adventure with a kind of courage usually found in season- ed soldiers of the Crown. Through years of experience, mothers have learned that the most satisfactory method to em- ploy for this part of the fair out- ing is to visit the confectionery booth first. Just as long as the kids are eating, they are happy. So, you purchase enough goodies to last for an hour. The only interruptions you should expect is the occasional argument over whose turn it is to dip into the potato chip bag. and .a hurried whispering session indicating that sonny "can't wait". But is is usually during this time that mother really gets a chance to enjoy the fair. She drifts by the merchant's exhibits DASHWOOD WI The September meeting of the Dashwood WI was in charge of the historical research and current event group with Mrs. Ervin Ra- der convenor. She opened the pro- gram by reading Edgar A. Guest's poem, "Past and Present". Twenty ladies answered the roll call, "An old-fashioned cus- tom I am glad has been discar- ded". Mrs. Chas. Snell discussed the motto: A woman is old when she buys her clothes with only the weather in mind. Mrs. Art Alle- By MRS.

OVER AND OUT Too soon her sojourn there is over and she is outside again in the hustle bustle of the crowd. Word has been received by her young family that there are real live cowboys and cowgirls over by the grandstand and no amount of feminine persuasion will quell their enthusiasm to go outside "right now". Thrill upon thrill awaits the youngsters there — pony rides, baby calves, ice cream sand- wiches, horse races, tractor sit- ting, carmel corn, horse-drawn wagons, decorated bicycles, jun- ior farmers, chocolate milk, the peanut man, fancy fast cars, jumping horses, other children, sheep, pigs, calf races, saddle horses, baconburgers—dozens of interesting things to do and see. Then comes the signs that the brood is tiring — little sister wants to be carried, baby is whining, big brother is out of money again, older sister has fallen in love with the cowboy in the black shirt. A skillful mother will manoeu- vre her family to the exit by the most pleasant route. Going home always seems more attractive if there is a watermelon tucked away in the baby's stroller or a basket of ripe red apples in the trunk of the car. These and many mand gave many current events. Miss Norma Weigand was guest speaker, speaking on her 4-H trip to Montreal. One farm history was brought in for the Tweeds- muir history.

For the children the day has ended. For mother it begins. Her task now is to hush noisy chatter, to pull off soiled clothing, wash sticky weary bodies, treat minor injuries and serve up large por- tions of sick stomach soothers. Was it worth the effort? In- deed! Will they go again? Well . • not tomorrow . . . but . . next year? likely. By MRS. W. MOTZ PERSONALS Mr. & Mrs. Wm.
