Beverley Ashton of town was
among 178 Girl. Guides from all
parts of Ontario to receive her Gold
Cord certificate at a presentation at
Convocation Hall, University of
Toronto. The awards were
presented by Mrs. Louis Breith-
aupt, wife of the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor of Ontario. Beverley was the
first Lucknow Guide to receive the
Gold Cord, emblematic of the
highest honour a Guide can earn.
Among those present on the
platform was Mrs. A. E. McKim of
Lucknow, who held the office of
International Commissioner of
Ontario.
During a violent electrical storm,
a bolt of lightning cut some queer
Capers in the barn owned by Andy
Ritchie at Lanes. That he still had.a
barn was no doubt due to the fact
that the bolt grounded in the
cement water tank which was
completely shattered. Two cattle,
out of a herd of 14 stabled in the
barn, were killed.

With Adrian Vos
Some interesting statistics came
to my attention regarding farm
costs. It showed that all farm
inputs are up, with fertilizers
leading with an increase of 41%.
Only one cost factor is down from
the same month a. year ago and
that, curiously enough, is one that
is produced by farmers. While the
livestock producer may have some
short term , relief because of lower
feed prices, this comes out' of the
pockets of the cask-crop farmer
who gets less for his grain. One
feed ingredient which didn't go
down is minerals and vitamins and
this of course is not pioduced at the.
farm. It shows clearly that
everyone has some sort of income
insurance but the farmer.
You may have read in the news
that the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture wants something done
in this regard. We need some
government assistance to get the
ball rolling and the vast majority of
farmers who have been polled sp
far ' support the farm income
insurance plan. It, simply stated,
says that the farmer, 'with help of
the government, build up a fund in
times of high prices and pay out of
it if prices fall' below cost of
production.
To show the difference in the
way a farmer sells his"produet with
the way an urban businessman
does, Mrs. Joan Stadelman of
Blyth, sent me the following. "A
farmer bought a new car after
spending a lot of time pricing them.
By coincidence, a few days later,
the dealer who sold him the car
appeared at his farm gate and
wanted to buy a cow for his hobby
farm. The farmer quickly-wrote out
the following and handed it to the
dealer: Basic cow $200. Two-tone
exterior $45. Extra stomach $75.
Produce storage compartment $69.
Dispensing devices (4 spigots at
$10 each) $40. •Genuine cowhide
upholstery $125. Automatic fly
swatter $35. Dual horns $15. Plus
tax and delivery $595. Total, charge
$1190."
Imagine the options on my sow
with 16 spigots and a built-in
vacuum cleaner: This really opens
up some hitherto unthought
possibilities.
