Wingham Farmers to Keep Census Schedules In common with the rest of the 'Fai),000 farmers of Canada, the far- mers of this district during the last two or throe weeks have received through the mails copies of the agri- cultural questionnaire that is being Used in the nu Census of Canada, If there are any whom it has not reached, they may obtain a copy at their nearest post Office. The farm schedule was net out by the Dominion' Bureau of Statistics in advance le order to enable farmers to prepare their answers to the ques- tions at their convenience and thus save time when the census enumerator calls some time in June, An accom- panying letter asked the farmers to complete the schedule so far as they could and have it on hand in readiness for the visit by the enumerator, They were particularly requested not to mail it to the Bureau of Statistics. In spite of this request, several thousand farmers from all parts of Canada have completed their sched- ules and sent them to Ottawa. In con- sequence, the Bureau has sent out a special request to all the weekly newspapers of Canada asking them to remind their farm readers to keep the schedule until the census taker arrives to complete the details and to pick it up, Forms that are mailed to Ottawa will just be mailed back to the sender, since they require com- pletion on the spot by the enumerator to ensure complete census coverage.

LOUD WELCOME FOR CAYUGA FATHER —Central Press CanatUan Photos "I knew I should have shaved it off," was the comment of Petty Officer Norman Hopkins of Coleman, Alberta, when he greeted his family at. Esquimalt, B.C., after a nine-months' absence aboard Cayuga in the Korean war zone. For daughter Gwen was frightened by her daddy's bushy beard. His wife, Joyce, didn't seem to mind too much. It was estimated that at one time there were upwards of 50 men aboard the destroyer growing beards. However, most of the whiskers weee shaved off before the ship arrived at its home base in Esquimalt. Cayuga, home for a well-earned leave, during which time some of its crew and officers will be drafted ashore for promotions and participation in various courses, will be replaced in U.N. fleet by H.M.C.S. Sioux. Quality Always Spare yourself the pain of "shopping around" for a Monument tq honour your loved one. Depend on our reputation for highest quality and fair dealings. See Us First.

"But how did they work together?" "I'm coining to that," said his fath- er. "In January and February when work is slack, a special school for farmers is held. The people study and learn together and have fun together, toe. The women go. to school as well as the men. They learn how to plan meals, how to take care of children and how to nurse the sick. The school teaches the whole family. "After the first school Mr, McLean tried to get a credit intern started. That was a kind of bank for the far- mers at Bricks. The idea was that all the farmers at Bricks were to put a little money into the credit union. When ,one of them was in trouble he could borrow money until the trouble was past, Then he could pay it back, "Well, the farmers did not trust each other and little money was put into the credit union. One day lightning struck one of the barns, killing the animals inside. Mr. McLean pointed out that the farmer who was in trou- ble should have been able to borrow from the credit union. At once the farmers saw the value of the credit union and they put in enough money to make a 'loan to the man who was in trouble. "The debt was paid promptly and the farmers began to trust each other and to put more money in the credit union." "They learned to cooperate, jdst as Bob and I did," said Tommy. "After they worked together in a lot of ways. They bought feed and tools and seed and grocieries together be- cause these things came cheaper in big lots. Ten families put money to- gether and bought a tractor. The people have become friendly and neighborly and helpful to each other, They have learned the value of work- ing together." "So did we," said Tommy, with a laugh, as he threw away his apple Core. "I'd like to go and see Bricks some day," said Bob. Perhaps Tommy and Bob will in- deed see Bricks sometime, since their TO MY SON You are the journey I had planned to make To marvel at the dome of Taj Mahal, To dream beside the ancient Chinese wall, To cruise upon a blue Italian lake; You are my spring in England at her shrines My summers at the mountains and the sea, The Louvre, the Sphinx, the sights I'd longed to see, My leisurely vacation on the Rhine. Yet, by comparison, these dreams grow dim When I consider what is mine today; I breathe a daily prayer of thanks to Him Who trusted me to guide you on your way.

"Bob, help your- self to a nice red apple." Bob picked up the apple on the porch rail. Then Tommy turned a- round and they both walked toward the window sill. "Tommy, help yourself to a nice red apple," said Bob, Tommy took the second apple. "How's that?" he asked his father, as he took a big bite into the apple. "Right!" answered Father. "Now, if you want a big name for what you and Bob have just been doing, it's co- operation. Cooperation means doing things together. When you and Bob were pulling against each other, you didn't get anywhere. When the two of you worked together, first for one and then for the other, you got what you wanted. I want to tell you about a place named Bricks, where the peo- ple are taught to work together. I've been giving money to Bricks for years, and I want you boys to know some- thing about it." Tommy and Bob sat on the steps and began to eat their apples, and Father told them about Bricks. "Bricks has nothing to de with the kind of bricks from which houses and walls are built. It is the name of a place. It took its name from a per- son who over fifty years ago gave a large farm in North Carolina to the American Missionary Association. A school was built on the farm. The Negro farmers who lived on and near the property sent their children to this school. Practically all of the ex- penses were paid not by the people themselves but by the American Mis- sionary Association. When the people needed anything, they just asked the Association for it and usually they got what they wanted without any troub- le. `:1-lard times came and the American Missionary Association of the Congre- gational Christian Churches did not have the money to help the people as they had before, "So a different plan had to be made for Bricks. The school on the farm was kept up so the children could learn as before. But the new plan called for teaching the grownups as well. They were to be shown how to farm better and how to work together for the good of all. The women as well as the men were to be taught." A New Plan "A man who had been trained in farming came to direct the new plans, He was Mr. Neill McLean, The big farm was divided into smaller farms and rented to tenants who were to stay there for five years, In that time they would be taught better ways' of farming. At the end of the five years they should have enough money to make a payment on a farm of their 1%0 TEN BUILDING WITH BRICKS Father stepped up on the porch with a big red apple in each hand. "One for me!" shouted Tommy. "One for me!" echoed Bob, and they both came running. Father held the apples up in the air, out of reach even for a jump. "Yes, they're for you," he said, "but you've got to learn how to get them. Stand still and we'll start. Tommy, you stand beside Bob and take his hand. Don't let go of hands whatev- er you do. Now, I'm putting one ap- ple on the porch railing, just out of your reach, Bob. Tommy, here goes one for you on the window sill, just too far away to touch it. Now go to ite-find out how to get those apples." Tommy and Bob braced their inside feet against each other and stretched out as far as they could. Sometimes Tommy tugged Bob a little in the di- rection of the window sill. Sometimes Bob got in a good jerk and pulled Tommy towards the porch railing. But they were pretty evenly matched and neither one could reach the apple on his side. Then they got laughing so they couldn't do anything. "It must be a trick," Tommy said, in between his laughs. "No trick at all, Just stop and think it over." Father answered. Tommy and Bob stopped and puffed. Tommy looked at the apple on his side. Bob looked at his. Then all of a sudden Tommy turned and looked at Bob's apple, THE WINGHAMAli ANP ,E-TIMES ..• 4.4.4..40!•••••••,......"..0.011•••••• NEPNIFISPAY.
