F 305 Durham Co. Fann Forum Findinge At the January meetings of forums in Durham County there were fourteen in action and 255 people in attendance. The question asked was "What jobs need to be done in your community which cannot be ac- complished by individual action alone?" There were many things men- tioned throughout the province, namely, credit unions, dental clin ics, hospitalization, reforestation, weeds, school areas, community centres and cold storage. Dur. ham County seems to be interest- ed in the following: Welcome wants a skating ink, a completec school area and a health unit tc cover more than the present one does now. East Darlington wants better control of weeds and the clearance of brush and weeds fnom the roadside. Providence also wants the above ne weeds but also thought an egg grading station in their neighbonhood would be a great help. They aiso like Welcome, would favon health unit to cover ail needs and ages. Darlington West favoreda ditching and dnaining scheme.

AN UNUSUAL KING'S SCOUI Scout Gerald Farrell of Norti Bay, Nfld., is a King's Scout, bui he differs fnom the average run oi King's Scouts. Gerald is totali: blind. - He belongs to a Scoui tnoop at the School for the Bliné and is the second member of thE tnoop to gain this hîgh distinctior in Scouting. The former King'. Scout is now a third year studeni at Dalhousie University. a joint Dominion-Provincial com- mittee. In addition to the survey work in each province, a consider- able amount of research work is being done on the nature and structure of souls, particulariy in the Prairie Provinces. In recent yeans, special work has been donE on the dlay soils of Nothemn On- tario and the grey wobded soils oi Western Canada. GOOD TE NOW TO FIX HARNESS Except for those now busy ai work in the woods, most farmerc are able to give their honses a bil of a rest during the winter. And while the harness is not in steady use, many farmers take this op- portunity of getting it in shape. It is worthwhile to take harnes. apart and soak it well in warnr water and washLng soda. Afte: that, borrow the wife's washboand and give the harness a good scrub- bing. Then, when it is thoroughly dlean, the harness can be soakec in oul. During the past year, it ma3 have been found necessary t( make home repairs to harness There may have been times wher it has been mended with nails oi wire or a break fastened with ri ing cycle of jobs far and wide, :g well as safeguarding the futur0 security of four million poliCYà holders and their f amlies. .4 L-1245X Clarke Township School ArOa Clarke Township School Area met for its first meeting and or- gamized. Harold Gibson was elec- ted chairman and the term of off- ice was decided to be 2-year men, tRussell Osborne, Austin Turner and Brooks Cowan, and the 1-year men, Harold Gibson and Wes Wood. Inspector H. Carlton was ion hand to help the board get properly started. It was decided that the chairman and secretary sign all papers and also ahl the cheques and that ail payments be by cheque. In order to avoid con- fusion it was planned to carry on as near as possible to the pres- ent arrangements. The hot lunches in the schools in the area were left to the teach- ers to plan. It was also decided that all schools would supply fully the necessary books, pencils, etc., sto the pupils. s Regular meeting was set for the e4th Thursday in the month, next smeeting February 28th. 1EXPERIMENT PLANNED aFOR DURHAM COUNTY a CONTOUR PLOWING A meeting of the Ganaraska Ad- é visory Board with 100 per cent at- e tendance was held in the office of ethe secretary, Herbert K. Long, on e Friday afternoon, Jan. llth. i It was disclosed that five farms s have already been obtained for k demonstrations of contour,'plough- -ing and allied practices and that the farmers concerned have vol- CI unteered the use of these with no ;S strings attached. - Three of the farms selected are e in Manvers township and two in V Cayan. Farms in other townships ,will be chosen later for further ;s demonstrations. - The importance of this work -was demonstrated in the pictures yr shown throughout the county hast spring, and will involve the re- ri moval of fencing and complete y changing of the plan of the entire farm. Great interest is being ýe shown particulariy by younger Lt farmers in this great advance- d ment which wihl yield over 25 per cent increase in crops. Soul sur- veys and contour stakes have been ilaid out on these farms. rIn view of the interest taken in hthis scientîfic departure it is be- Lt lieved that arrangements wîll be ofmade during the season for ail those interested, particularly jun- Lty or ýfarmers, for an observational dtour of these farms selected 'for e the experiment. s HOW TO MAKE ROPE ILAST MUCH LONGER Even though wartime demands for rope are over and rope fibre- producing areas occupied by the enemy are now liberated, there stili is not enough nope to meet ail the demands for it. The life of the rope can be ex- tended by keeping it dry. If the rope about to be used has been dampened by snow or nain, dry it before usîng. It is aiso wise to dry rope befone coiling it for stor- age. The surface wear of rope can be reduced by taking greater cane in handling it, for example, in pre- venting it from being dragged along the ground and from nub- bing against beams or posts in the barn or chafed by rubbing against the edges of poorly designed pul- ley blocks. One of the surest ways to neduce internai wear of rope is to use it on as large pulley as possible. A serious fray of nope ends can be checked by whipping or cnowning them. CANADA CONSERVES SOIL FERTILITY vets or even with binder twine. Those entergency repairs were stop-gaps only and probably would not stand up under the strain of another season's work. Those temporary repairs can now be made permanent by taking the harness to a harness shop before the harness maker is swamped with spring orders. B.C. Use New System 0f Packing Apples A new system of packing ap- pies, similar to the manner in which eggs are packed in cartons for retail is being tried out by British Columbia Tree Fruits Limited. More than 20,000 con- tainers have been used this sea- son. These first shipfrnents have been sent to ail parts of Canada, ship- ped under normal conditions. The new method is named the Friday Pack, named after its in- ventor, Paul Friday, of Portland, Ore. Each apple is nested just as an egg is nested in its container. A corrugated carton is used. Wobden posts in each corner take the weight when the carton is stacked. The inventor dlaims the new system eliminates contact bruis- ing, speeds packing, requires no protective paper wrapping and makes inspection easy. Water- proofed, specially oil-treated trays check scald and other storage dis- eases and permit more rapid cool- ing of fruit in cold storage. The new containers used for the experiment were made in the United States, but if it proves successful they cari be manufac- tured economically in Canada. Several millions have been used in the United States and good re- suits have been reported. HAPPIER IN TOWNS (Financial Post) Workers are happier in smaller towns, is the message to industry of Board Chairman B. B. Wil- liams of Cooper-Bessemer Corp., Mt. Vernon, Ohio and Grove City, Pa., in hailing current trend to- ward decentralized manufactur- ing. Rewards of decentralîzation as Mr. Williams sees them are rich. The employer enjoys lower taxes, more and cheaper land, a settled labor force which enables reduced training outiay. The worker enjoys a better home and higher standard of living, less- crowded schools, more outdoor recreation, cleaner air, quieter streets, home-grown foods. What's perhaps more significant, Mr. Wil- liams says, the small town voter knows his public officials person- ally, takes a direct interest in lo- cal politics and elections, feels he has a hand in government.' _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . . . . .............. -'Canadla Uniited B R E W 1f:: COMPAN4Y, L 1 tT It is gooul citizoinship te owm iLIVEINSRAC A message from the Lile Insurance Companies in Canada.
