Lions Club Names Committe. to Study Carnival Procedure At the regular meeting of the Bawmanville Lions Club, held in the Lions Cammunity Centre, on Manday evening, the entire pro- cedure was a prolanged discussion dealing mainly with the resuits af the recent carnival and the lessons derived thereirom. The discus- sions in fact were in the nature af a review af the question of meth- ods ai raising funds in future car- nivals or by alternative methods. For ta carry on youth service and other activities requires a large amaunt af money each year. The question ai cantinuing forms of gambling in carnival booths, which are contrary ta law, was met with a dim view by many members. The final result was the appaintment ai a cammittee cansisting oi ail past presidents ai the club, who will study the whole question ai carnival procedure and bring in a report and recam- rnendations at the first meeting in September. Fallowing this discussion it was agreed in cammittee ai the whole to make an addition ta the cam- 'nunity centre by add-ing a self- contained apartment far the use of a iull-time janitor. It is esti- mated that the cost will be slight- ly in excess oi $1,000 and the con- tract will be let immediately. President Earl Riddolls was in charge ai the meeting and initiat- ed the discussions. Miss Marilyn Cully, Toronto. isc visiting her cousin, Karlyn MIc- Donald.

Bowles is now offered for priv- ate bidding at his farm on the highway between Blackstock anc Casearea., His ad-vertjsement in this issue iists the basic pedigrees of one of the best herds in the county from the standpoint af breeding and production. Here is an opportunity for established shorthorn breeders and more par- ticularly for the farmer wishing to enter this field to get high class animais at fair prices. Mr. Bowles is sacrificing his Shorthorns simply because of a shortage of help and other fac- tors which make it necessary ta concentrate on fewer lines in his large farming aperations. He is in fact giving up the line that he reçtlly likes best, fancy, ped-igreed and good grade Shorthorn cattie. But with an expensive dairy equipment he will now have more time ta develop his dairy herd. Pf would aopear that the beef cattie îndustry is naw about ta reach new heights in this country. For news releases state that Mex- ico is presently in the throes of a very serious and widespread out- break of foot and mouth disease. Since Canada has maintained an embargo on beef cattie entering the U.S.A., the Mexicans have been shipping millions of cattie to U .S.A. markets. Naw that trade will cease abruptly. In the meantime it is quite pas- sible that Canada will revuse its policy of embargo and enter agreementsa ta ship beef cattie ta supply U.S.A. markets. This may be conjecture at the moment but it appears ta be a logical move. Hence the assumption that prices will remain at a high level in the beef cattie field. It's a good time ta buy. Mr. H. G. Hoffman, Kitchener, Mr. and Mrs. Ward Hofiman and ýdaughter Andrea, Toronto, were, Sunday guests af Mr. and Mri.1 Ceo. W.
