once n sur vey is completed but such is not the case with industrial plants they can be here or they can be there according 16 the best interest of the company whether the land re quired is highly productive or not makes little difference but wonder couldnt there be some form of control governing the salt- of agricultural land for in dust rial purposes surely there is plenty of waste land that might be used to good advantage instead of bring left to grow weeds that much productive land has already been sold to industry is little short of a crime cant something bo done to put the brakes on before it is too too much good form land is be ing used for housing projects that is what is being said in some quar ters and not without reason but then how can it be otherwise new houses are definitely needed and they cant be built in midair but it is not only for houses that land is required each new community that is opened up must also have roads stores schools gas stations parks theatres and last but not least churches y however farm acreage taken over for such projects cannot be nearly as great as that which is sacrificed for the erection of huge industrial plants and for the construction of superhighways it has worried us for some time travel the new bar rie highway for instance how much farw land was taken over for its construction or the new ford plant taking in some of the best forms in the district now chain stores are building on the outskirts of many cities big stores complete with parking lots almost every city is pushing its out skirts farther out into the country real estate agents are hoving a field day among nearby farmers who at tracted by good cash offers and having in mind the decline in farm produce prices are usuall ready to make a deal of course if farm property is required by the depart ment of highways the farmer doesnt have much to say in it any way i and think of the land that must be taken over where a clover- leaf is necessary modern highways follow a straight line insofar as that is possible so thnrn rnr hr tittlo ohn an in what 1 hn t ham j u but happy life or do they i cant think that turkeys raised on wire can be hap py i wouldnt want to raise tur keys for that same reason late before we wake up and won der what has happened to nil our good highway farms not only purchased land is affect ed grading and building highways indirectly affects other farm land still in production changing the natural drainage of the land on cither side of the road as a private enterprise farm ponds have proved themselves as very satisfactory wouldnt it also be possible as a conservation measure for the de partment of highway i in coopero hon with the department of lands and forests to construct artificial ponds in lowlying areas directly attributable to highway construc tion these unsightly bare spot may be seen on many farms border ing every new highway in the pro vince on the other hand another fact is perfectly obvious as one drives through the country in spite of modern machinery some farms are not as productive as they were at one time our own included a man whose work takes him to many places told us that most of the farms he visits are owned and operated by men over 70 in other cases young er men are holding down jobs and trying to farm at the same time but even these farms should not be sacrificed to the bulldozer the fertility is there and should the time ever come and with increased population it well may when farm produce is more urgently needed then these farms can be put into peak production once again if help is available and returns for farm produce make it possible well having got that ott my chest ill go out and find out how production has been going on aroundherc we imported co bul lets last week for the firsi few weeks looking after them is fun gathering eggs is quite an event we couldnt be more excited if they were laying golden eggs two more today than yesterday and the siae

the fate that awaits great expectations when joseph jefferson the noted actor was past 70 he suddenly ac quired a strong excitement for gar dening one day a friend asked him the reason for his

written by grandma moses herself since sfmlltir experiences can likely be remembered by the senior citizens of acton district the mere facts of grnndmas mows life are no more exciting than the stories bur grand pa ren li could tell it is for once a good idea tn have a peck at the back of this bonk before reading it from the front for it is the fullpage colored illustrations at the back of the volume that give the whole book meaning for grandma moses as everyone likely knows by now started to paint when her hands could no longer manage needle work she skyrocketed to fame not long ago us a leading exponent of american primltivkm those who were fortunate en ough to be able to visit the display of moses originals in the toronto art gallery was it last spring will find the book especially inter esting although the reproductions do certainly give a good idea of her style her style but not so much her technique for which one does need to sec her originals the faces were just round blobs with two dot eyes and a hnemouth painted on as children would do shndlng in her tiny figures was often nonexistent os she seemed to heap on a brushfuil paint all of the same tone however there will be fewer art critics in the vicinity of acton lib rary that people who just like to read a good book especially now that the return to standard time gives readers longer evenings grandma moses is written very simply the editor otto kallir says he only corrected the spelling and some reproductions of her letters show why and so the whole book reads just like reminiscences of a very nice old lady heres an example then there was a request for me to go to the big city new york for thanksgiving celebration in gimbcls auditorium where they hung the grandma moses pictures- grandma who had never travelled much what anticipation and vex ation what commotion and confus ion at last she was on her way they wanted me to take down some preserve and homemade cake my preseves were placed on the tables beside the platform just before i went up there some one handed me one of those little oldladies bouquets and then some one pinned something on me it felt just like a black bug but i couldnt look down it was a microphone and i was then on the air they took me by surprise i was in from the back woods and i didnt know what they were up to so while i thought i was talking to mrs thomas i spoke to 400 people afterwards it was shake hands shake shake shake and i would not even know who the people were now my my it was rush here rush there rush every other places but i suppose i shouldnt say that because
