MC" SVAIR-OMNOL Blue Ribbon Sais 0f Shorthome At Blackstock Saturday The demand for catalogues for the 5th annual Blue Ribbon Short- horn Sale to be held at Blackstock, Saturday, Nor 1, has been great- er than in any previaus year, ac- cording to Jack Baker, organizer and manager, who has recently returned, fromn judging at Sher- brooke, Que. He finds the de- mand for high class, pedigreed iScotch Shorthorns for breeding Lpurposes neyer greater and the price paid for commercial beef Shorthorns neyer higher. At the Sherbrooke auction, a Shorthorn steer won the Grand Championship over ail other breeds with 200 animais in the ciass. It soid at $2.00 per lb., live weight, netting a neat $ 1,920 for butcher beef purposes. The av- erage price paid for beef Short- horns on the hoof was 23c per lb. Capt. Cyril Mumford, Hampton, secured another herd sire among several he bought at Sherbrooke. Offerings at this year's Blue Ribbon Sale feature the breeding of some of the best sires in Can- ada. It will be of interest to know that a Shorthorn cow sold at a prevîous Blue Ribbon Sale for $350 and bred to Edellyn Ro- man Mercury, had a caîf which sold in 1947 lor $1,600. This news wili be of interest to local buyers. Among the 39 head offered this year are 5 cows with calves at foot which gives opportunity to secure young stock within a reas- onable price range. The sale will kbe heid in the rink commencing at 1:30 p.m. and lunch will be availabie in the heated dressing rooms. PONTYPOOL Wm. Mailey, an old Pontypool boy, fell out of an appie tree re- cently and broke the 7th verte- brae, he may have to wear a cast for the next three months, which will probably give him an idea of what poor grandma used to go througn every time she had grand- pa tighten her corset strings. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Bradley are moving to Peterboro, one more case or a young rural couple pre- ferring the City to country. [t seems to us it is migration that is causing the housing trouble in the larger centres. Although there may be a scarcity of houses in most urban places, there are pienty of empty rural houses. We have iearned with regret that James Masters, one of our really old residents has suffcred a stroke, at present he is in Bow- manville, Charlie Chapman's new Ford truck was smashed against a tree, the driver escapcd without hurt, but that nice new truck is beyonct repair. On Sunday, about 12 noon, smoke was noticed in the Jackson woods, east of McCrea's Church, Bethany telephone operator rous- ed up 25 or more volunteers, who armed with shovels, fought the ,jiazc to a stanastili and kcpt it confîned to the Jackson and Bad- luk properties. Special mention should be made of Leonard Porter, who raced home and brought his Ford tractor and plow and plow- ed a fireguard in the open, where the men with shovels could smoth- er fresh outbreaks. Ed. Young- man, caretaker of the Durham Forest, was on hand with a Jeep ioad of water filled pack pumps, extra shovels, buckets and men. It was proven that, properly handled, the pack pumps are very efficient as grass lirefighters. AI- though everything was terribly dry and the southwest wind fan- ned the blaze, prompt co-opera- tion between Dept. of Lands and Forests workmen arbd equipment, telephone operator and volunteer farmers, checked, what could have been a fine with terrible conse- quences. It is thought a careless smoker passing in a motor veh- icle a few moments before the lire was noticed, may have start- ---ay Littie and Ann, from the Rio Grand, a musical, wise-crack- ing team, currently doing the 6: 30 a.m. stint on C.N.E.X., Peter- boro, (Monday thru' Saturday), gave a splendid hour and tliree quarters entertainment here' on Wednesday evening. Their show is clean, fast, humorous and pleas- ing. Ann strums th,! guitar and sings, also acts as a stooge for a lot of the jokes. Ray acts as em- cee, can play a bull fiddle, guitar, or banjo with the best of them, besides l4ing the possessor of a nice tenor voice. They each have excellent stage presence an d charming personalities. As a spec- lal treat they presented Norman Sweet, the "Oid Time" champion tiddler. He was good! Ray and Ami have worked their act in ra- dio and concert halls ail over America, and are worth getting up early to listen to. They canj come back to Pontypool anytime and be sure of a warm welcome.

Brown, Newcastle, ne- ceived the highest price for a bull at the Annual Faul Speciai H-ol- stein Sale held Oct. 21, at Strat- ford. This xvas $550 paid by Ever- ctt C. Oxby, Rothsay, Ontario, for Brownview Pietje Paul, a fine- month-old bull caîf. A. J. Brown, Orono, receivcd $405 for a milking female.. A total of $26,865 for a generai average of $363 was realized on the sale of 74 head at this sale. Top price of $660 was receivcd by Elmcroft Farm, Oshawa, fromn Ar- thur F. Thompson, Drayton, for the four-year-oid heifer, Princess Josephine Pabst. 30 milking fe- males averaged $403, 13 bred hejf- ers $352, 10 heifer caives, $258, 3 open yearlings, $333 and 18 buils, $336. FARM INVESTMENT TOTALS BILLIONS Capital investment in Canadian farms in 1946 amounted to $5.922- 347,000. more than 38 per cent z1bove the figure rccorded by the 1941 census, according to the Quarterly Bulletin of Agnicul tur- ai Statistics for Apil-June 1947. The in.vestment incîtides land and machiulery - including mo to r trucks and automnobiles-and ive- stock, including poultry and an- imaIs on fur farms. The estimatcd value of farmn capital in 1946 was almost-seven per cent higher than the value for 1945, but nearly 78 per cent of it can be attributed to the enhanced value of land and buIldings. High- er prices for livestock, which more than offset a decrease in numbers, and substantiai purchases of farm iinpîcments duning 1945 increased the value of both these compon- ents of farm capital in 1946.

DANGEROUS DARES Although they do not advise un- duly curbing the spirit of advcn- turc in adolescents, medical auth- orities say that there arc somne .'experiments" which young peo- ple would be wcli-advised to leave until later in if e. For instance. trying out the effects of tobacco and alcohol on a "dare" is dan- gerous business. Mature judg- ment and self control are requir- ed to cope with such situations and anyway, it is pointed out, neither tobacco nor liquor in- crease ability to study or resuit in lasting popuiarity in the fra- ternity.
