BOWMANVILLE Weekly Editors Tour U. L. A. On Retuin Good"Ill Mi ssion 4b- INSTALMENT TWO Across ]Indiana Last week our report covered experiences in Michigan, tiow we enter the State of Indiana. The only weekhy publisher we were able to contact in Indiana was Charles Fînd of the Walker- ton Independent. From Elkbart, which is the hub of the band instrument industry we went through South Bend to Logansport wbere we spent the nigbt. This was during the coal strike and the "dim out" was pret- ty grim. Ali store windows were dark, and streets and interiors of buildings were using onhy baîf the normal ligbting. The hotel dis- played a notice that, "due to the coal strîke, beat wouhd only be on fromn 4 a.m. to 7 p.m." The wea- ther however, was so warm, that little heat was required. Indiana is essentially a corn growîng country, and the fields of corn spread away as far as the eye can see, in the saine manner as the fields of wheat in Western Canada. The country is almost as fiat as Western Canada. For the first time, we saw ma- chines which go through a field of corn, pick the ears and busk tbem, and leave the stalks standing. Strange to say, there seemed to be few silos, and apparenthy lîltle use is made. of the corn stahks which are usualhy ploughed under in the spring. We were surprised to see the way in whicb the ears of corn are stored. Tbey are thrown into a wire bin, or crib, usualiy about 20 or 30 feet or more in diameter and 15 or 20 feet higb. There they spend the winter with ittle or no covering and we were told that tbey do not seem to be harmed by the winter weather. Most of the corn is used to feed pigs, which form one of Indiana's principal products. Indiana appears to be doing a big job in building better and fin- er bighways, and the work is realiy going ahead fast. Leaving Logansport at an earhy hour, we went tbrough a number of smahl places to Indianapolis, the argest city and capital of the state. It is a fine city, but an ex- tremehy difficuit one for a strang- er to go througb, because there are so many intersections wbere streets converge from ahh direc- tions like spokes of a wbeeh. After a short caîl on Ray Flem- ing, manager of the Indiana State Press Association, the journey was continued tbrough Columbus to Louisville where we entered Kentucky, in the middle of the afternoon. Southern Hospitality To a Northerner on bis first vîsit so far soutb, Louisville is a very interesting city of wide streets. A long toîl bridge leads across the Ohio river wbicb forms the boun- dary between Indiana and Ken- tucky.

In reply to some questions we were told that the cohor lime is not s0 rigidly observed here as fur- ther south, and not so much as il formerly was. Coming south ir% former days, colored passengers could ride in the trains with white people as far as the bridge over 1the Ohio, but the trains stopped at the north aide of bridge 10 en- able the dark-skînned passengers to alight. Bus travel, our infor- mant said, had belped 10 mix the two races together on public con- veyances. At Shelbyville, some 30 miles south of Louisville, we had our first taste of real soutbern hospi- tality, wbich we found so delight- fui all tbrough Kentucky. AI- though il was after 5 p.m. when we dropped unexpectecily mbt the office of Bennett Roach, of the Shelbyviile News, nothing would do but we must go up 10 bis home to spend the night. Mrs. Roacb, a direct descendant of Daniel Boone (1734-1820), fa- mous Indian fighter, and Kentucky pioneer, fully met our ideal of Southern "quality folks," and the coiored "mammy" who bas pre- sided over the family for the past 34 years, seemed 10 think notbing of suddenly having four extra hungry Canadian visitors to feed. On the wali of one room was a mollo, "Come in the evening; come in the morning, come when expected or corne without warn- ing," wbich seems 10 be the spirit of southern bospitality. A Tobacco Auction The next morniing we were pri- vileged 10 attend a session of the tobacco auction at Sheibyville wbich we found extremely inter- esting. First we went through one of the buge warehouses where they were unloading to- bacco as it came in on trucks from the farms. It is taken from the trucks on sticks, graded and stacked on smali round trucks, weighed and marked with the grower's name. Here we met the auctioneer, one wbose voice bas been recorded for the theme in a well known ra- dio broadcast, which many of our readers have no doubt heard. At nine o'clock, the auction be- gan, and il sounded much like the broadcast version, exccpt that thc name of the buyer was not sung out. The auctioneer carnies on in a sing-song style which sounded to us like a Chinese operýa and. juat as intelligible Ici the uninitiat- ed. Nothing is beard from the buyers, wbo do their bidding by making signa such as toucbing their chin, or forehead. The speed with wbicb the sale is conducted is really somcthing, and we were told that over a million pounda would be soid in the three and a half hour session. The bero in our opinion la the ligbtning calculator who sees ev- ery bid, and records the sale, thel price and the buyer, and can af- ford to miss nothing that goes on. If bbc vendor is not satisfied witb the sale, he may demand a regrade, or may bave bis crop placed in the pool, which is a gov- ernment co-operative selling or- ganization. But no matter how interesting a place migbt be, we always had 10 burry 10 the next stop, so leav- ing Sbelbyvilic we went on bo Frankfort, where we met Geo. A. Joplin, publisher of a paper at Somerset, and also Director of Publîcity for the State of Ken- tucky. Frankfort is the capital of Ken- tucky and not only is il located in one of the moat beautiful spots in the state, but ils capital build- ings are some of the fineat in the whole United States. The inter- ior of the capital building is the moat beautiful interior we have ever seen. Wbie there Mn. Joplin presented us 10 the Governor of Kentucky, Mr. Simeon Willis in bis offices. He isa big, fine look- ing man of charming personality and be related some of bis fishing experiences in Northern Ontario. Our nexl port of caîl was Lex- ington. There we were guests aI the Lafayette Holel of Victor W e were told that bis owners charged a stud fee of $25,000 and he bred 28 mares tbe first year after he retired from the race track. That will give some idea of bis value. In the same barn were four other famous horses, War Relic, Figbting Step, War AdmiraI, and Plate Crusader. The wbole area there is gîven over to the ralsing of borses, and we were sbown many famous farms including the Whitney one. Land there is valued at $3,000 an acre and some stable buildings have cost as much as $85,000. In spite of the large number of horses sold at huge prices, our guide was of the opinion that the raisîng of running horses was a rich man's hobby and there was no money made after expenses were paid. We noticed on a num- ber of the so-called horse farnis Ibat purebred herds of Polled An- gus cattle were grazing. (Contmnued NexI Week> Cartwright Council Rais..

Smart Returns To Visit Schoolmates Way Back in 70s Away back in 1870, as many old-timers wVill recail one of the farm families living on the cen- tre road, contributed- to local his- tory by announcing in The States- man the birth of a son, Thomas J. Smart. Last week, Mr. Smart, 77, paid a visit to the editor and we had, a grand time going over past history. He was accompanied by bis grandson, Wil'bur Richard- son, feature writer for the Farm- er's Advocate. Mr. Smart whose uncle was the late Joe Jeffrey, went to Central Scbool and recaîls that Miss Moorecraft was one of bis teach- ers. Amoiqg otbers attending school witb bim was Dr. M. -A. James, brother of the editor. Mr. Smart told of the fire wbicb des- troyed the Upper Canada Furni- ture factory where he commenc- ed bis apprenticesbip. He then went to Toronto and in 1892 helped, to build the first two cars for the Toronto Electric Rail- way. Ail told he spent 48 years in the service of the Transporta- tion Commission and Hydro, and bas lately retired, hale, bearty and active, need-ing neitber crutcb or cane to get about. After enquiring about many old time families such as tbe Fair- bairns, Horseys, McMurtries, Cou- ches and otbers, Mr. Smart re- called. the incident, "Move on Wil- son" w'bich resulted in Chief Jar- vis coming to Bowmanville. After calling on a number of old, friends Mr. Smart returned to bis home in the city. at the University.

Mc- Evenue, president, told the gatb- ering that the financial statement being discussed revealed a posi- tion of security and, general strength unsurpassed, if equalled, by any preceding report. Mr. Mc- Evenue stated that in 1946, witb- out including credit for any an- nuity 'business, the Company's ife insurance in force had pass- ed the billion dollar mark. Despite a record year in pro- duction by the members of our field organization, many years ago the Canada Life realized that the volume of new business produced is not the soundest measuring rod of company progress or strength, Mr. McEvenue empbasized. "The policy in force has prior rights over the policy in prospect," he continued "and 'is a tradition of importance wbich bas developed strength for the company over the years. We are convinced that tbe validity of this tbeory wil be more and more evident as the years go by." Life insurance' bas always been a sound investment, said the Canada Life president but il is mucb more than that. From tbe outset the prospective policyholcl- er is promised flot only a fair re- turn, but every precaution is tak- en to see that the policy selected is the best one available to meet the particular needs. It is ob- vious that tbis requires a highly Before construction begins IT I8 OFTEN possible for an ingurance agent or a fire prevention engineer, by in- specting blue prints, to advance suggestions which may reduce the chance of fire.

Mason & Son' Phones: Office 681 - House 493 King St. Bowmanville trained field force which we have developed. The practices and principles which eventually formed the framework of government super- vision of Canadian life companies followed a pattern set by the Canada Life in ats first 20 years of activity when it was the only Ca- nadian 'life company in operation. This supervision has guarded and guided the interests of ail Can- adian policy holders very well in- deed, Mr. McEvenue added. The orikgin of cash surrender values and paîd up insurance in this country was flrst put forth by the Canada Life in 1849, and Mr. McEvenue revealed ttaat the prospectus of that year announc- ed this added- protection to pol- icyholders unable to continue paying premiums. President McEvenue paid tri- bute to the field, and office staffs of the company in Canada, the United States anid in, the British Isles and to the board or directors and executive off icers of the company for their contribution to the progress and success of the Canada Life. Who Pays the Bill For Sanding Walks ? Now that we are back in coun- cil we have been reminded that ratepayers flot only observe what is going on but stop us on the street and get on the phone to bring up points tbey helieve need attention. It is a gooct way to keep informed and to consider points of economy. Here la a case in point: "Who pays the bill?" asked an irate ratepayer who pointed bis finger at a town truck witb a crew of three who were spreading sand on patches of icy sidewalk. As a businessman be makes a point of keeping the walk dlean and clear before his premises. At other points snow and ice lay op- posite property of an absentee landilord and even occupied prem- ises. These were being sandedi at Public expense.
