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. Hensa.0 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.

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. • tiir.lh str..y su-rn .'lift M.,.i,u• t• .st.,"le •J:. .., n•5 .,r, n -Nn.
