B ATES FOR DOTS DUNDALK SHINGLING STARTED IN FALL COMPLETED IN JANUARY When you're telling your grand- children about "June in January", 1946, remember to tell them this story: Ray Richardson and Wallace Mc- Cormick, Swinton Park district, started shingling John Martin's bam last fall but cold weather and snow stopped them before they could com- plete the job. However, during the spring-like weather in early January they decided to try and finish the job, which they did, with the help of Jim MoGoripick and Stanley Harri- son. That wafe on Jan. 7th, mind you. But that's only half the story. On account of the severe thaw, which took nearly all the snow away, the Saugeen River flooded, and the water was over the road in two places. To get to their work two miles distant, the febinglers had to use two cars, walk forty rods, and then go twenty rods in a wagon. To return home, the procedure was reversed. The scene of these strange goings-on was Con. 1,8, Proton. â€" Dundalk Herald, PRICEVILLE I RELIABLE Si^VICE For all Makes Cars - Trucks We have modem tools and equipment . . . ex- pert, trained technicians . . . and a reputation for satisfactory results.

OWEN SOUND Phone 782 Grey County Farm Forum Notes (EMited by Elwood Lemon) Though snow fell over most of Grey County on Monday evening, January 14th, 1765 farmers, their wives and children, made their way to a meeting at 104 homes, schools, urches and halls. The discussions centared on farm organization, com- Tiunity, county, provincial and dominion. How can the individual farmer have an effective voice in shaping the policy of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture? How does the individ- al member get his view through? y per cent of the groups men- tioned that the individual memlber ;vot his views through to the C.F.A. Trough his local forum via the iinty unit and the provincial unit. Many of the forums felt that the r: ar.ization should be strengthened by having more farm forums in the coumty, by having more active township units, by having organizational broadcasts and by sending out more literature. .Should member bodies of the C.F. A., go direct to the government? Forums felt that no memiber bodies ihould go to th« government but that •^he directors of the Federation should press their case. Some For- ums Suggest that members of the af- filiated bodies should be present to advise the directors of the Federa- tion. The work of the Federation of Ag- riculture Should be expanded in all its present fields which according :> the forums in importance are pre '.ting views to the sovernment, re- presentation at national and inter- national conferences, co-ordinating views, interpreting and distributing information, with some of the fields tlial forums feci they should explore being floor prices, e3q)ort trade to th-e U.SA., dairy and bacon long term contracts and with the provin- cial federations dealing with a large number of provincial matters. Is National iaixn organization ef- fective in Canada? Mofet groups as- sume on affirmative answer and go on to tell how it can be more effec- tive. The only thing is for the Fed- eration to become stronger and more farm forums is advocated as being way to strengthen the Federation. Farmers feel that the Federation of Agriculture is only a ten cent organ- ization and they have down a good jo-b with that ten cents but feel that it is now time to get more finances for expanded work in the Federa- tion. Commodity assessment in the county seems to be the way the farmers want the organization to be financed. Quoted: "HiUview" Forum feel that there should be more branches of the Federation in Sydenham Township. "Sandhill" Forumâ€" fer- tilizer too expensive, too much mid- dle profit. Why not buy your fer- tiliser co-operatively? "Tenth Line'' Ponim^-^r.

Tax CoUector Talks Back Coffee-bar gossip took a cheer- ful turn in Capital last week when Canada's tax collector of McCann announced that refundable portions of 1642 income end excess profits taxes will be repaid before March ai, 1948, with the refundable portion of the 1943 taxes a year later, and the 6-month portion of the 1944 tax btill a year after that or in 1960. This refund is going to put a lot of not-too-aaiall golden eggs in the hands of persons who will be able to make lovely omelettes. Matiy people will be building houses and this, money will grdatly assist the financing thereof; or the new automobiles supply will increase; or perhaps even liie new television bets will be among the first pur- chases â€" you name yours. And the spreading of this money means the spreading of employment. BEWARE OF STRANGERS WHOâ€" osier you something for nothing. Tell you they have sold all but one CXCfer you a "sure cure" for any thing. Say they guarantee you a job for a fee. Oall at your dOor with hard-luck stories. Promfse to resell what they sell to you. Use "ittery in order to sell you something. Promise hu«e profits on far-away real estate. Offer to lend though not licensed to do 90. Ask you to tell nobody about their offers to you. Offer you a chance to get in on "the ground floor." Urge you to act quickly lest you misfe your chance. Are evasive or offended when ask- ed for credentials. Urge you to cancel one insurance policy and buy another. Ask money for a charity without satisfactory credentials. Offer free coupons or free elxih memberships or a stock bonus. Try to say the books of the cor- poration are being closed tomorrow. Try to sell you a partnership in a "highly prosperous" concern. Promise you big returns for easy, pleateant work in your own home. Warn you not to tell your bankers, for they will grab all the stock. Tell you they are just passing through town and this is your only chance. Possibly your own experience will enable you to add to this list. But it alwayte pays to remember that no honest person ever got anything for nothing â€" unless it was given to him. A concert was' being held in a vil- lae schoolroom, and it became San- dy's turn to give his bagpipe solo. When he had finished and the ap- plause had died down, a Toice from the back shouted: "Gire us Annie Laurie, Sandy!" "What!" asked Sandy, surprised and flattered, "again ?" TRUCKERS!
