Ferguson- Famiîy Night is Enjoyed by Many Farmers l i e l;A irApic r'ç ( ,rAnri I-% ýI 4.1I U L.JliIIZi Fergusan Family night, held at Sidney Lancaster's Garage, R. R. 2, Newcastle, Friday even- ing, Feb. 11. and spansoned by >the Massey - Harris - Ferguson Company Ltd., o! Toronto, was a big success. 1 The program wbich. consistcd -chiefly o! motion pictures put an by Mr. Lea Hearn from the Toronto Branch was much en- I jayed by those present. The garage, filled with chairs for the occasian, was crowded ta the doons. This splendid turn- out in spite o! the very cald weatber was very gratifying to gIr. Lancaster and those re- ýpansible for the success o! the event. A picture was shown o! the world's Plawing Match beld ne- cently at Cobourg, Ont. This covened a great varîety o! scenes and proved quite interesting. Another picture wbich was also educational as well as enter- taining was put out by Shel Oul Ca. and showed. vaniaus phases o! the industry panticu- larly the pipe line construction. A couple o! humorous films were greatly enjoyed by ahl, especially "The Mechanical Ca w". Included in the pragram ta add variety were a couple of fine numbers by Mrs. Carl Ar- gue, Pontypool, elocutionist, wbich took well with the crowd. Likewise the musical numbers by Wyleen Wilson and Doris Martin. These yaung musicians played very nicely indeed and will no doubt be greatly in demand for future entertain- ments. Mr. Sidney Lancester, local Massey-Hars-Ferguson dealer, very ably chained the event. 1-Ie introduced ta the crowd 1ivi. Stevie Nesser the necently ap- painted District Manager o! the Massey- Harris- Ferguson Com- pany who met many o! the lo- cal farmers for the first time. The main picture of the even- MAPLE GROVE 1ing was a Ferguson film en- titled "Once Upon a Sunday" whenein a farmen having bis Sunday aftennoon nap bad a 7dream. O! course it matenialized 1that the Ferguson tractor wutb 3its many points af supcniority tunned out ta be the tractan o! 1this farmer's dreams. There was no doubt that the Newtanville Women's Associa- tion who catened for the event did a noble job whicb was en- jayed by ail when lunch time arnived. Not ta be fongatten was the draw for pnizes at which event the lucky winners and their pnizes were as iollows: Stan Allin, R. R. 1, Orono, 5 gal.
