This year ' Student Parlia-

wasn't altogether in favor either,
but the money had been raised
for that purpose and so the
management had the final
decision. .
In the last item of business

divided into even groups ac-
cording to age. Thus far the
games have been very exciting
and good sportsmanship is very
much in evidence.
The pretty flower bed that was
in front oo the school has been dug
up by the pupils of Grade 7. They
gave some flowers toother
grades and kept a few for experi-
mental use.
The students at our school did
very well in the Canada Fitness
Awards program. Four levels of
achievement were recognized in
the form of bronze, silver, gold,
or excellence badges. In addition
each participant, whether suc-
cessful or not, received a partici-
pation button. The following
students were recipients of the
the excellence award: June

Michael Darling, Wendy Arm-
strong, and Leonard Stamper (all
from Grade 6) ; Murray Fear,
Philip Eadie, Daniel,lleim, Doug
de Boer; Shelley Alden, and
Valerie Peel (all from Grade 8).
At the present time the old
Grade 5 room is being trans-
formed into a library. . Mrs.
Maclntyre, with the help of the
pupils of Grade 8, is in charge of
the sorting, coding, and
arranging of about 1,500 books.
The library should be in full
swing by the end of October.

BELGRAVE AND WINGHAM
bubbling mass in silo
Bill Coultes, who, along with
his brother Glen, farms 700 acres
of land a mile north of Belgrave,
isn't sure whether he has a silo
full of cattle fodder or the
makings of a giant keg of beer.
One:of his concrete silos; 24 feet
in diameter alnd 80 feet high,con-
taining tir ,,productaof ao 10-
acres of cp este, *bubo
and all but bgaisr'tarets
squeeze a never-ending rivulet of
corn juice out around the double -
thick plywood doors. The doors
themselves are bulged out to an
alarming .degree.
Bill isn't certain just what will
happen eventually — but there
isn't a thing he can do about it in
the meantime.
Two huridred*and fiftyhead of
cattle in Bill's barns alone are
eating all they .can get — but their
diet is still dry silage — and they
can take a lot of it in a day.
Only one of Bill's silos. has been
filled so far and he told The
Advance -Times that it's a tricky
decision to hit just the right time
to cut the corn and,blow it into the
big storage silos. This year the
standing corn was frozen and
seemed to be dry enough for
cutting. Now it appears possible
that excessive moisture was
frozen into the stalks, and since
they have been subjected to the
immense pressure lower down -in
the silo the frost has come out and
the moisture is pouring out of the
doors and through some of the
seams in the $12,000 structure.
The corn was planted earlier
than usual this year, but the
growing season proved to be a
peculiar one. Weather conditions
delayed development of the crop
and when the first sharp frost
arrived the conn was not as
mature as the owner would have
liked it to be. Thus its condition
for storage was not as depend-
able as in previous years.
Bill says that a few years back
most ' corn growers planted
varieties which would . attain
maximum stalk growth. "We
liked to see it as high as the
barn," he said, "but now we know
better."
Animal nutritionists : have been
'Able r ' :e that 'the: ost Con-

strains which are shorter but
heavier cob producers. In this in-
stance he said, the kernels of corn
seemed to be well dried and hard.
Bill knows of at least one other
farm& who is experiencing the
same problem, with moisture.

guess is that there are many

The future for the rest of us who

could be a bit worrisome too.
Bill still hasa large acreage of

big siloto fill.. Naturally he is
hoping that the crop will be a
little easier to handle by the time
it is brought in.

On Thursday; October 17, more
than 48 million people around the.
world will comnnexnprate the.
beginning of the credit union
movement in FlaMmersfeld,
Germany, in 1849., Its Mayor,
Wilhelm , Friedrich Raiffeisen
saw that the needy did°not want
charity but a method of self -help. -
He got them to. put their few•
pennies together for the common
good.
The idea has remained
basically '' the same ever. since,
Groups of people band together to
save money. They give them-
Selves good dividends on savings
and make low-cost loans to one
another.
In Canada there are approx-
imately seven million members
whose 4,100 credit unions control
close to 810-bilion in assets.
Credit union members do mere
than make law -cost loans and

are working to fill that need.
The first credit union in Wing -
