Hard -work Kinsmen
serve their communit
t)ur motto is "Serving the com-
munity's greatest need." Our clubs
opera:ions and goals are based on
local needs and demands which we
think are important. Various
Kinsmen zones and districts have
area -wide service projects and our
National Association does sponsor
large-scale national and international
programs in which we participate.
But by far, the majority of our efforts
serve our own local community
needs. We think you'll be surprised as
future "Hensall Kin News" columns
reveal the extent that our work serves
our community.
Our thanks go to this newspaper to
allow us the opportunity to tell the
story of the Kinsmen Club of Hensall
and District.

and district news
Mrs. Bertha MacGregor,
Phone 26277025
There is a service association in
Hensall that works hard in serving the
interest of our village and district
community. It is a group of 25 young
men who believe that by fellowship
and fund raising, it is helping to make
the Hensall community a better place
to live and work. In the coming year,
through this newspaper, you will
become aware of just how much is ac-
complished through the efforts of the
Kinsmen Club of Hensall and District.
We believe it is important that the
general public become more aware of
the many ways that Kin serves our
area. This is not being viewed as an
opportunity to pat our own backs, but
rather a reminder to all that com-
munity involvement leads to com-
munity benefits. Future columns will
reveal more specifically how Kin
serves. But in this introductory col-
umn, here is some general informa-
tion about who we are and what we
do.
We are one of over 500.Kinsmen
rom cods O coast in Canada.
Our membership is comprised of
young men up to the age of 40. In ad-
dition, Hensall also enjoys an active
Kinette Club whose membership is
composed of Kinsmen wives. As well,
a K-40 Club, t Kingsmen past age 401
is also serving in Hensall.

Baker was told to report on the
price of a new lawn mower to the next
meeting: the village's two-year-old
machine needs an engine overhaul, as
it is not heavy enough for the work it
is doing.
Plowing patterns will be slightly
changed to make walking easier for
pedestrians, in answer to a request
from Sharon Wurm, secretary of Hen-

LOOKING FORA BIG
DISCOUNT WHEN VOU
TRACTOR7
4.
Don't get stuck with even a
bigger discount when you
want to sell it.
Always consider resale value ,
when you price a field tractor. Because
the differences among brands are
sometimes bigger than any purchase
incentive.
John Deere Tractors retain their
value. According to the Spring/
Summer 1984 Marshall's Canadian
Farm Equipment Guide. the average
asking price of a 1979 John Deere
4240 is over 100%' of the 1979
manufacturers suggested list price.
Is this true of only one model?
No. Every 40 Series 90-10 180-hpJohn
Deere Tractor has an average asking
price higher than the 1979 manu-.
iaclurer's suggested last price.
Compare John Deere with any one
of five major competitors.
None offer the same high resale value.
In fact, out o122 competitive models:
none scored higher than 91.6% of list
price. The average was only 82%.
What's that mean in dollars?
Add the competitor's loss to the John
Deere gain. The John Deere advan-
tage ranges from S3.587 to over
$11.000.
1f you want more proof
look around used equipment lots or
visit auction sales More often than hot
you'll find that a properly maintained
John Deere Tractor has retained its
value exceptionally well. Ask your
neighbours. You'll probably find
someone who sold his used John
Deere Tractor for more.Ihan its
new price.
