the slipping by of the milestone i will always remember these youthful ambitions and not just my own present day outlook sometimes its pretty hard to do this and sometimes i dont accomplish this aim that bap- pens most octen when taxes look big and the income is small but im mighty pleased to see this new building going ahead its a big improvement over the other smaller building that was staked out and its a real satisfaction to know 44that all these men got together and worked for the biggest building and the biggest interests of the town i just wish that it had been started earlier in the year so i could have had the summer basking in the sunshine and watching the building go ahead after all thats about thc biggest fun that a lot of us old codgers aire going to get out of this building but perhaps there will be room for us inside when the walls go up and it is enclosed for the winter and well try not to get in the way theres a month or two that well enjoy from the outside anyway next year if wcre all spared to at tend the fair i suppose if we want to meet our friends downtown well be saying met us at the y m ca the editor was showing me a picture of the acton public school scholars of 1871 the other day and told me it was going to be printed in the fuee press i had difficulty in picking out a lot of the faces and recalling the names ol those boys and girls of over sixty years ago but that photograph did recall former days and associations id be glad if some of you folks who read this would set down and write me and tell me who all you can recall in this pic ture i doubt very much if any at present living can recall all the names in the group well i must cease this rambling about fall fairs y m c a and old school days i hope to meet you all on acton fair days

quite agree that means where your ain folk dwell for there your thoughts will be your feet may go astraylng forever and a day adventuring down luring roads a thousand leagues away you may find fame and fortune and all that fair appears but a little wistful whisper will haunt you down the years a little pleading whisper which somehow calls you back against your will or with it down memorys winding track and there youll find in fancy the things you used to know the flowers that used to blossom the dreams of long ago and through the mist which hovers round memories divine youll glimpse the wellloved faces youll see old hearth fires shine however far you wander whateer fair lands you see your heart will still keep turning to your aln rooftreel j and through all your weary itfam in youth or lifes last gloaming your thoughts will still go homing where your aln folk be my oh my but there seems to be no lack of subjects to write about this week when time can be spared to keep away from the community centre of interest at the new y m c a building on mill street i am just like all the other chaps old and young- about town i like to see signs of actons uphildlng and im provement and when operations really get under way im just as anxious to see things move along and watch the pro gress but before i launch into that subject im reminded by a number of posters and other means that acton great an nual fair is next week on tuesday and wednesday to be exact already the homecoming for this big event is start ed and im told that jock agnew from winnipeg was the first to arrive with the object in view of renewing old ac quaintances and taking in acton fair no doubt there are many others who will be arriving during the week arid others are making arrangements to be here during the fair days from shorter distances its a great gathering time and we who have remained in the old home town are always glad to welcome all visitors back to the old homenest- for the fair or at any other time but it does seem that the fair days are the best for all to gather here im looking forward to those days next week and wind and weather permitting mary and i will be on hand along with all other loyal actonians but the fair of 1934 will not resemble very much the ones of half a century ago that some of the oldtimers used to attend then the big interest was in the exhibit of live stock that fea ture is still a prominent part of the fair but there isnt the time spent oyer the sheep and hog pens that there used to be in those days when the placing of the stock was just as big a conest as any race times have changed but the fall fair in acton still seems to hold its placerand keep growing well be watching for you next week at this great meeting place ttl ftf gs at like a grip at the throat for a dls ease that is not classed as fatal there is probably none which causes more ter rible suffering than asthma sleep is impossible the sufferer becomes exhaust ed and finally though the attack passes is left in unceasing dread of its return dr j d kelloggs asthma remedy is a wonderful remedial agent it immedl ately relieves the restricted air passages as thousands can testify it is sold by dealers everywhere thankful fob small favors one good result of hard times is that we dotibt have to come into a fortune in order to be appreciative instead we very soon ifestmrtobe thankful for small blessings a man who had lost a posi tion paying a large salary was two years without work when finally he secured a job the salary was small but when he brought home his first pay envelope he handed it to his wife with the words five years ago i would not have been so thankful for a million as i am for these few dollars tens of thousands of people can understand that attitude five years ago who felt thankful for a job work was regarded rather as a necesary evil than as a blessing we have now learn ed better practically every canadian with a paying position thinks himself lucky his job is something for which to be thankful five years ago who thought of a comfortable home or a bountiful table as grounds for thankful ness people took such comforts as a matter of course he must be a very thoughtless individual however who now sits down to a square meal without thinking of the many who are less for tune it seems a pity that we should learn appreciation of- our blessings either by losing them or by fearing their loss in good times as well as bad we should keep before us the realization that a stupdendous stroke of luck is not neces sary to make us fortunate that the small favors are a reason for thank fulness controlling potato tuber diseases diseased potato tubers are undesirable for marketing purposes because diseased stock may rot in storage or in transit necessitating sales at discount prices or possible disqualification as a ccmse- quence consumers costs are increased while the growers profits are lowered accordingly surpassing these difficul ties met in the marketing phase of this industry in canada however is the more serious problem arising from the use of diseased potatoes for seed a prac tice leading to seedpiece rot weak ger mination poor stands and low yields moreover the use of diseased seed tubors results in contamination of the soil thus making it most difficult if not lmpos slble to produce diseasefree potatoes on the same location for several years the importance of this principle is better appreciated when it is known that new iandts relatively free from disease organisms and should be safeguarded against- contamination in seeking to control potato tuber diseases it is well to know that a number of them attack both tubers and tops so that they must be dealt with in the seed stock supply and in the field those diseases con fined to the tubers alone necessitate such measures as seed treatment soil treatment and seed all of which are being investigated toy the division of botany of the dominion expeilmental farms through its branch laboratories although such practices are subject to limitations when carefully conducted they provide a means of bettering crop production and of reduc ing very materially the otherwise ap preciable losses it must be clearly understood thajt seed treatment will not prevent disease originating in the soil under these circumstances a scheme of soil treatment or soil management is a distinct advantage seed treatment of course can only bo effective against diseases occurring on the surface of the potato tubers whereas the more deeply seated infections notably late blight rot black leg and fusarium rot cannot be reached by seed treatment in these instances the correct preventive measure is to avoid using the diseased tubers certain diseases such as leaf roll mosaic and spindle tuber cannot be de tected in the seedtubers although they give rise to definite symptoms in the growing tops the eradication of these disorders caxtbettceompllshed only by a system of thoroughly rogulhg combined with the operation of a tuberunit seed- plot detailed information on the subject under consideration may be secured from the nearest- dominion laboratory of plant pathsogy into cold mold to become firm this week there has been some real activity on mill street inprovidingthe y m c a which the late albert murray made provision for in his will judging from the size of the hole that is being mape for the structure it is going to be a building of which we will all be very proud i cant be classed as a young man any more so of course the use of the building is of little personal interest to me but i can recall my young days when similar things for the advantage of the young folks and the advancement of acton were being under taken i can wen remember the en thusiasm there was amongst the lads of looking fob trouble looking for trouble is a sure way to find it when you begin to look for in dications that your best friend is losing interest in you it will not be twenty- four hours before you will have found convincing proof that this is the case if you look for indications that you are being slighted and passed over in favor of people with not half your ability in a very short time you will have convinc ed yourself that this is so even in the matter ofihealth if you begin to look for signs that your digestion is upset or your heart misbehaving in a surprisingly short time you will be feelirig miserable if you go out to look for trouble you will never be disappointed in your search why look for something how ever which is nolworth having

about albert burtons recent dis covery a lincolnshire plowman of 20 albert who can neither read nor write while plowing at swaby the other day tunned up no fewer than 178 roman silver coins of considerable antiquarian value and appeal to collectors in accordance with an ancient british custom a coroner held a treasure trove inquest on the coins and announced that albert would receive 80 per

peculiarity of the apple trade in the british west indies and british guiana is the fact that green apples sell for a better price than the red variety the reason for this is that for many years red apples from canada and the united states have been sold by street vendors while green apples jare confined in their sale to the leading produce stores thus the people have been educated to believe that green apples are a higher quality product the cold storage facilities at halifax and saint john and the regular service to the west indies by the can adian national steamships lady boats have done much in promoting the apple trade with the british west indies and british guiana if you iialf try you might suppose if you did not keep your eyes open that one who half tried would win a
