Views of Cranbrook
Mystery tour provides .Cranbrook W1 attraction.
Correspondent. Mrs. Mac Engel.
On Tuesday Morning of last
Week, twenty-four ladles includ-
ing Cranbrook W.I. and their
friends met at the CoMmunity
Centre. A mystery tour convened
by Mrs. Melvin Becker and Mrs.
Gordon Engel was explained.
Each driver received simple dir-
ections but the mystery unfolded
as they read their poem, just
prior to approaching each stop.
On the sealed envelope they read;
"Oh, what a beautiful morning!
Oh, what a beautiful day;
A mystery tour is in the offing
Cranbrook W.I.'s are on their
way."
NOTICE
All players wishing to
play in Brussels Town
League Fastball are re-
minded that there is only
two weeks left to sign at
Murray Lowe's Barber
Shop or Thompson & Ste-
phenson Meat Market. Any-
one in the village 18 years
of age or over is urged to
join ,. We are also looking
for umpires and coaches.
Don't forget the general
meeting to be held May 15th
at 8;00 P.M. at the Royal
Canadian Legion,Brussels.
Inside they found;
"To the cupola on Cameron's
house
To look across and down.
How proud our ancestors must
have been.
To think they might have a rail-
way town.
Oh, how they planned both day
and night
But when the railway came
It was to the north way out of
sight
But for them,there was no sor-
row, no tear
For the generations that came
have enjoyed
Nature's view for many a year."
At the home of Mrs. Calvin
Cameron, three flights of stairs
were climbed to view the sur-
rounding countryside. This home
was built from limestone from,the
nearby Maitland river in 1869
by H, A. Muller (pronounced
Miller). In 1875 John Cameron
purchased the home and it has
been in the Cameron name since
that time. From there the 5 cars
received this clue:
"Tents and trailers all around
Don't you wish you were holiday
bound?
Green ones, blue ones, oh what
a sight,
All you need to do is pitch for
the night.
Geese on the pond, hike over the
hill,
Swim in the lake, oh, what a
thrill,
Fish for the, trout, dancing after
dark,
For all of this--Family Paradise
Park."
On arriving In McKillop Twp.
Mrs. Mills conducted a tour
through their park explaining fae-
tittles for picnics and summer
and winter recreation. A newly
erected banquet and dance ball
was viewed and the children en-
joyed the swings and, birds at
the playground.
A brief stop was made at the
Brussels cemetery. There the
ladies viewed wm. Ainley's
monument (founder of Ainley-
sville, now Brussels). This, was
the verse before the next stop:
"Next stop there is beauty to
behold.
watch your pocketbook beCause
it can be sold
To Alberta Smith's we must go.
To see the glory, row on row
Of African violets, pink and white.
They all are precious in her
sight
For her green thumb is renowned.
In her home beauty does abound."
Mrs. Smith gave tips on plant-
ing and care of violets. Here Mrs.
Wilfred Strickler won a violet
plant for the birthday nearest to
May 1.
The next call was:
"Down by the river just outside
of Brussels.
Six little cabooses all in a row.
No more to" hear the engine
tooting at the station,
'Cause they're down by the river,
waiting for the snow.
Here come the families every
winter weekend
With their snow machines, col-
ours all aglow.
Family fun , and frolic, till the
weekend's over
Leaving six little cabooses stand-
ing in the snow."
Ian McDonald took the group
on a tour of the cabooses and
explained his plans for further
expansion for both summer and
winter recreation.
By this time all had acquired
hearty appetites and were given
this verse:
"I hope you brought your money,
as
The time is -very close for us
to fill our tummy
So just follow the car that's up
ahead
And soon we'll all be sharing
What the Molesworth women's
Institute
All morning have been preparing.
The best lunch you ever ate
Just remember it's a dollar-
fifty a plate."
Following the dinner in the
basement of Molesworth Pres-
byterian Church a brief W,I.
meeting was conducted by the
president, Mrs. Jack Cox.
The first visit of the afternoon
was to Ethel.
"Remember the lady who lived
in a shoe?
She had so many. children she
didn't know what to do
The children have gone from the
old school home
And teacher Irene Campbell set
out to roam
She gathered shoes from far and
near,
Some full of memories, she holds
dear.
glass ones and wooden ones
China ones too.
I think cellecting shoes for a
hobby
Must be fun, don't you?"
Mrs. Campbell lives in the
former Ethel school which is
converted into a comfortable
home. She had, on display approx-
imately 130 shoes of many
designs and, materials and told
some interesting stories about
them.
The group then proceeded to
Brussels following this instruc-
tion;
,,To Harry and Gert's we must go
For they have antiques they love
to show
Glass lamps with chimneys, pew-
ter and china.
I wonder if mine is as old as
theirs are.
Furniture from other years, pol-
ished till it gleams,
Grandma's crystal goblets, from
her bridal dreams.
Aunties' silver creamer,
Mother's favourite plate,
And all the things that came
before to bring us up to date".
At the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Bolger many interesting
articles were on view, including
various pieces of furniture in
the difference stages of refin-
ishing. Mrs. Stanley Fischer held
the lucky number and received
a gift from the hostess. One
special item of furniture in the
porch was somewhat of a mystery
and provided considerable
• amusement.
Final instructions were as
-follows:
"Next stop, Clara Perries;
Who, with her artistic brush,
Transfers nature to canvas,
To see it is a must.
Landscapes, seascapes, gay aut-
umn colours
What a wonderful gift to share
with others."
Mrs. Perrie paints for a
hobby and also gives instruc-
tions in oil.
Following stop No. 8 this
was the message.
"Marilyn and Mary thank you
all for coming
It was a beautiful morning
It's been a beautiful day
Sharing hobbies and treas-
ures
With others along the way".

Industry
needs best
quality corn
T. B. Daynard
Department of Crop Science
Ontario Agricultural College
University of Guelph
About 20 million bushels of
grain corn are used by indus-
trial' processors in Ontario each
year. This includes the corn
requirements of distillers,
starch processors, and breakfast
cereal manufacturers.
At present, most of this ind-
!ustrial market is being supplied
by corn produced in southwest-
ern Ontario. Results have shown
that, on the average, the best
quality of corn in the province
comes from this southwestern
region. However, growers in the
-rest of southern and easternOnt-
ario can produce high quality
corn, and for those who do,
industrial users can represent
a large and continuing market.
To the industrial buyer, corn ,
quality means a number of grain
characteristics for which he is
frequently willing to pay aprem-
ium. High quality corn must have
a high test weight (number of
pounds per bushel), have rel-
atively large and uniform kern-
els, and be reasonably free of
broken, cracked, overheated or
off-flavored kernels.
To produce grain corn meet-
ing the above requirements, here
are some guidelines:
1. Grow an adapted, disease-
resistant, lodg ing-resistant
hybrid. Lodged4 plants are
more likely to yield moldy,
off-flavored kernels. Blight
infection (for disease-
susceptible hybrids), or cool
fall temperatures (for late-
maturing hybrids), can cur-
tail kernel development pre-
maturely, causing the grain
to be small, shriveled, and
of a low test weight.
2. AvOid high plant populations
(above 22,000 plants per
acre). Higher plant popula-
tions tend to reduce kernel
size and test weight, increase
the •amount of lodging, and
delay maturity.
