We are planning to use money from our treasury to- add to the Pennies for Friendship, which is down this year. Our Roll Call - "Name a Product we would lack, if the farmer never came back." The response showed that gradually we would starve, and our economy would disap- pear. Mrs. H. Millson read the Minutes of our Annua Meet- ing. This makes us reahize we handled over $4,000 and have a balance of over $1,100. We really make our money work for us. The Auditors, Faye Vice and Eileen Knox, declar- ed these books to be correct.

We also were happy to see Miss Pearl Leach. Mrs. R. Best explained to our ladies about the girls baseball team needing funds. It is possible they may be given funds from Wintario and the W.I. will allow its namçto make the request and also will donate further assistance for equipment. Mrs. R. Rowsell also told us about assisting with the Parti- cipation House project. Help- ers are welcome. The meeting was then turned over to Mrs. M. Vice, leader for Bradleys Group, on Agriculture. The 4H Home-Making Club girls have just completed a course on food, under the leadership of Mrs. R. Best and Mrs. B. Drake. These girls put on a delightful skit. The scene took place in a World Wide Restaurant, where customers were from every country you can imagine. A poster an- nounced that this open air scene was "The Main Dining Room." 'Of course, there was a real mix-up of languages, as the customers tried to give their orders to the Maitre De. They each wanted to have their country's speciality. Fi- nally after much arguing back and forth, the cook frantically rushed in exclaiming he he couldn't supply all these crazy requests! The ingenuity of these girls! We can't help marvel and say - What Next? Those taking part were Jane Hills and her French Poodle Fi Fi, Susan Best, Pauline Taylor, Catherine Baker, Tina Hiemstra, Grace Hiemstra, Alice Hiemstra, Barbara'Kap- teyn, Donna Hancock, Valerie Taylor, Katherine Koczulab, Collette Taylor, Annette Tay- lor, Francine Taylor, Penny Traviss, Nancy Traviss, Joyce Hancock, Carmella Sanaro and Lynn Dimbleby. The motto - "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it; the love of the land lies deep within the heart of Man." This was taken by Mrs. H. Yellowlees. She mentioned - Home, Happiness, Flowers, Dreams, Churc' Bells, Gardens, Roots in our Home land and concluded with a poem on her 'Farmer Father.' The Taylor Sisters rendered music on two saxaphones and a clarinet. Francine did the annourcing - first number - 'Black and White', Second - A Combination of Songs depict- ing a Wild West Gun, Man and Partner using these tunes to tell the tale - Frankie and Johnnie; Little Brown Jug; Hail, Hailthe Gang's all Here; Good-Night Ladies, She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain; The Old Gray Mare; Carry me Back te Old Virginy; O Bury Me on the Old Prairie and Anti9ues gth 116 King St. E.

The next number was "King of the Road" and they concluded with "Let there be Peace on Earth." Pauline, Annette zind Colette played the instuments with great skill - what talents they have! Mrs.Vice next introduced Mr. Ken Knox, one of our own boys, who bas really suc- ceeded in his career and is making a name for himself. He attended both Kempville and Guelph Agricultural Schools, as well as local schools. He has worked in Agricultural offices, especial- ly in connection with 4H Clubs. At present Ken is Supervisor of Youth Extension for the Province of Ontario and works out from 1200 Bay St., Toronto, where the offices of Agricul- ture and Food are situated. By slides and fluent and fast talking Ken made his program very real and interesting to us all. They plan to place 200 city young people on farms this summer, to see what country life is like. Ken describes the many and varied 4H Clubs that are conducted such as pony club, green house club, conservation club, electrical club and of course all of the more common ones, such as calf, field crops, corn, swine, machinery, etc. A gate sign contest develop- ed many attractive entrances to farm homes. Ken displayed photography samples which were in contests. He described exchanges club members are able to be involved in, such as provincial and national, even overseas to England or Australia. Certain numbers of enthusiastic mem- bers may be selected to sit in on conferences and share with others their ideas and activi- ties, as well as atterrific learning process, tbere is alwaysa broadening of educa- tion and lots of fun to make it all worth while. The 4H work is always planned from the Toronto office. On the otber hand, the Junior Farmer Activities are planned and carried out by themselves. They take part in dramas, sports, communica- tion retreats, music, camp, tours, fund raising such as boothes at Fairs. Leaders develop by becoming apart of it. All these programs tell us that we should really have Faith is our Young People. In our own area, the Junior Farmers are fixing up the old Baseline School to use for meetings. Ken's enthusiasm and inspiring description make us see what very busy person he is. He must have inherited much of his talent from his parents John and Jean Knox. We know they must be justly proud of his achievements. His talk was so well given, that we could have listened to much more. Mrs. W. Yellowlees thanked all those on the program and especially Ken. She made a small presentation to him. After the closing, Bradley's group were also guests along group served pie and cheese, tea, coffee and freshie. As our husbands were also guests along with 4H Girls, this soon disappeared. This was one of our finest meetings, thanks to Bradley's group. New Regulation for Moving Oversized Farm Vehicles It is no longer necessary for farmers to obtain a special permit to move oversized farm vehicles along a road, if the vehicles are operated according to a new regulation effective April 1. In announcing the regula- tion, Transportation and Com- munications Minister James Snow said that "oversized farm vehicles will be exempt from the weight, width, length and height limits provided in Parts 6 and 7 of The Highway Traffie Act. "Wechave had many repre- sentatives from farm groups on the inceonvenience of the old special-permit process. And I am confident the new regula- tion will prove to be far more practical in its application than the old arrangement," said the Minister. There will be some road- operating requirements to observe, the Minister pointed eut. All eversized farm vehicles are prohibited from operating on any of the multi-lane "400 series" high- ways, including the Ottawa Queensway; Highway 2A in Scarborough, the Kitchener- Waterloo expressway of the Queen Elizabeth Way. There are also lighting requirements. Oversized farm vebiches from 8'6" te 12'6" wide will net be restricted during daylight hours, but during night-time or in poor visibility they must have two flashing amber lamps at the front and rear. From 12'6" to 16' wide, such vehicles must have two flash- ing amber lamps at the front, and rear or a rotating amber roof lamp. At night they must have two flashing amber lamps front and rear and either a rotating amber roof lamp or escort vehicles front and rear. Over 16' width also calls for similar daytime lighting. And, at night two flashing amber lamps must be shown, front and rear, as well as a single rotating amber roof flashing plus escort vehicles at the front and rear. These escort vehicles must show four-way flashers or a single rotating roof flasher. The egisiature was tbe result of meetings between MTC, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the Farm Safety Association, the Ontario Retail Farm Equip- ment Dealers' Association, the National Farmers' Union and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. "I would like to thank them all for the time, assistance and input they provided," con- chuded Snow. Cancer MonthKickoff Raises o esfor Cure At this time of year there are probably more daffodils on suit jackets and coats than in any garden where the plants are grown. . When people wear the spring flower, however, it helps to support the Canadian Cancer Society as well as spread the hope which the daffodil symbolizes. Their hopes are grounded on achieving goals such as re- search, education, protection and management for cancer patients, says Canadian Cancer Society Executive Director Harry Rowlands. Speaking to Bowmanville's Rotary Club last Thursday, Mr. Rowlands pointed out that Ontario has taken on an important role in their support in the past. Ontario residents have done their share to support the organization by leading the way in both raising funds and providing education and services for patients, Mr. Rowland said. The division in Ontario raises more funds on a per capita basis than any other area in the world, he said. There are also approximate- ly 140,000 volunteers across the province who take an active role in the cancer society's programs, he added. With a 712 million budget and the vast amount of work put in by volunteers and staff workers, there is probably greater reason for hope than ever before. Even with the optimism which its members and workers maintain, however, the fact remains that an estimated 100,000 Canadians will need treatment for cancer in 1977. Canadian Discoveries Canada's efforts in the field of medicine may seem small compared to other world powers, said Mr. Rowlands, but not in the light of previous contributions that have been made by its doctors and researchers. The country's past record includes the discovery of a cure for diabetes and the cobalt method of treating cancer. With achievements such as, these marking Canadian medical research, there is a growing amount of evidence to support continuing the country's efforts in the war against cancer. While their efforts are concentrated in the area of research, however, the fightt against a disease which has claimed more lives than al] wars in history, is also going on at other levels. Major publicity campaigns urging people to stop smoking have been underway through- out the world since a link was found between carcinogen and cancer. If cigarette smoking was to disappear it would bring more health than all the advance- ments made in medicine over the past 75 years, Mr. Rowl- ands told the Rotarians. Not Anti-Smoking But while the organization tries to stop people from continuing to smoke and to prevent others from starting, the cancer society still takes a positive approach to the problem, he said. "The cancer sciety dees not consider itself an anti- smoking organization, 'Mr. Rowlands pointed out, al- though it will offer help to anyone who is interested in quitting. The major portion of funds are used to finance research carried on at various univers- ities, including the main centre for study at the University of Toronto. Finding a cure is the top priority which draws the attention of the organization. A wide range of services, The April meeting of the W.I. was held on the loth at 8 p.m. in C. E. Hall with President Mrs. H. Bradley in charge. Meeting opened with the singing of 'The Ode' and the repeating of the Lord's Prayer in unison. The roll call was "Name something you bought on impulse and never used." Pay your fees. The monthly collection for 'pennies for Friendships' amounted to $17 for the year.

Among the other services provided are patient lodges, or residences where a patient can find inexpensive accom- modation while undergoing tests for cancer. The lodges give those who are unable to pay expensive hospital bills a place to stay for as long as required at costs as low as $13 per day. Schools and businesses are also visited by their workers as part of the education program which is another aspect of the Canadian Cancer Society. While the research program is nationally supported, each of the 10 provincial divisions is responsible for providing these other services which are in great demand as well. As fund-raising continues through April, the Canadian Cancer Society is boping that citizens will rise to meet one of the greatest challenges con- fronting today's medical pro- fession.p MAPLE GROVE WI, Moffatt was in charge of the following program on Consu- mer Affairs. The motto 'Good manage- ment is better than a good income was commented on by Mrs. L. Dupuis. She said we need to sit down and figure out our income, estimate the immediate and long term expenses and have the respon- sibility to stick to our guns. At times we have to make do for today to have something for our dreams for tomorrow. We need to eliminate impulse buying, use planning, brain power and cut corners to enable us to manage our finances. Mrs. G. Greenham gave a short consumer read- ing on a new coffee using wheat, bran, coffee beans and molasses. Mrs. G. Moffatt showed a few slides of Restful Scenes taken in Newfoundland, Bri- tish Columbia and the Grand Canyon, U.S.A. 'The Collect' was repeated in unison after which the group in charge served a salad plate, breads, tea and coffee during the social hour.
