Subscriptions Payable In Advance In Canada $2.00 In U.S.A. $3.00 (Authorized as Second Class mail, Post Office Dept., Ottawa) Editorial THE SPECIAL FARM EDITION In this issue of The Colborne Chronicle you will find something added .... a Special Edition. This is a first for our newspaper and we feel it will be of interest and use to all readers. It is designed to render a service in a farming community such as ours, by bringing together, in handy form, information and products of use to our readers as they plan for the seasons to come. A special edition serves two purposes. For the reader it provides current and useful information, in this case, about farming and farm markets and, as well, through the advertisements provides a source of supply for goods and services necessary to his work. For the advertiser it provides an opportunity of presenting his goods and services in an atmosphere of mutual interest and at a time when the prospective customer is ready and anxious to buy. We feel this special farm edition to be a real step forward in our continuing effort to better the newspaper that serves you. We hope our subscribers will find it interesting and that our prospective readers will appreciate it as an indication of the standard of the regular Colborne Chronicle weekly edition and will join the ranks of our growing subscription list. There will be more special editions as events in our community warrant them. We will do our best to make them of real value to all. CASTLETON by Mrs. F.

OBITUARY EDWARD EARL HONEY Funeral services were held on Thursday, March 17th, at the Ross Funeral Chapel, Port Hope, for Edward Earl Honey, 60, of 129 Elgin Street South, Port Hope, who died in the Port Hope Hospital after an illness of five months. Rev. P. F. Gardiner officiated. Interment was in Port Hope Cemetary. ' Mr. Honey was born in Roseneath, Ontario, son of the late Thomas Honey and Annie Weir. He was educated in Alnwick Township and was a member of Port Hope United Church. He spent twenty years in Saskatchewan, partly in the neighbourhood of Rosetown, where he met and married Vera Muriel Johnston. They came east in 1940. He operated a garage in Milltown before moving to Port Hope. He was an active athlete in his younger days, particularly interested in baseball. He took an active part in Port Hope soft ball league. He was also connected with hockey. A quiet efficient worker, Earl gained a host of friends wherever he went. He is survived by his widow, four daughters and two sons, (Bernice) Mrs. Lancely Mills, Canton; (Margaret) Mrs. Ronald Pillsworth, Port Hope; (Fern) Mrs. Thomas Dawe, Cobourg; (Zelda) Mrs. Arthur Armstrong, Kingston; Russell, Port Hope and Robert, Toronto. Also survived by two brothers Gordon of Colborne and Harry, Chilliwack, B.C., and two sisters, Mrs. Archie McCracken (Vera) Roseneath and Mrs. Alex Merrill (Effiel Campbellford. Pallbearers were Jack Austin, Howard McMann, Eugene Watkins, Paul Harris, Harold Pollard and Allan Wilky. Farm Forums Safety on Canada's Farms was the topic discussed by Ontario Forums this week. The broadcast heard on March 7th had a demonstration pointing out some of the accident hazards on farms and how people ignore them, followed by a panel discussion outlining the results of recent safety surveys and pointing the way to future action. The forums were asked to answer two questions; first, what can be done by your forum and community to cut down the farm accident rate? What kind of programme would you recommend to reach everyone? And, second, what organize'd action should be taken provincially and nationally to reduce farm accidents? Would a National Farm Safety Council be of help? Literally, hundreds of various ways in which farm accidents might be reduced were suggested. These ranged from slogans and posters through the whole field of education by radio, television and regular channels such as schools, clubs and organizations to the practical ele-mination of hazards such as blind railway crossings and highway entrances. Cobourg Road and Front Road East seemed to think that an individual safety check by members and farmers as a whole would be a good thing and might encourage each person to watch for his or her carelessness. Morganston thought these safety checks might be done on a community basis of some kind. No specific method of reaching everyone seemed to receive more support than any other. The usual channels of communications were mentioned by most -- publications, radio and T.V. meetings and demonstrations and safety education through the schools. There was support from Mt. Pleasant and Trent Valley for a National Farm Safety Council which would co-ordinate surveys and then direct action through provincial and municipal Safety Councils. A very small percentage opposed the idea because they felt the cost wouldn't be justified by the results. However, those few who thought a national organization would not help still mentioned the same type of action -- that is general education as outlined in the answers to the first question -- but on a local level. Most seemed to feel that it was up to the individual to do something about the problem themselves, as well as taking part in organized action. Some suggested organized action, to try to eliminate accident hazards, in farm implements by appealing to manufacturers while others favoured such things as driving and tractor clubs for children. Shiloh suggested more public demonstrations on how accidents occur with machinery. Plainville came along with this very old but timely, slogan: Look before you leap, use your eyes, use your ears, then use your feet.

Sows with pig can be vicious and will mangle a hand or leg. Always carry some protection when it's necessary to go into the same pen with such animals. A light gate or hurdle, or even a scoop shovel, will do the job. Thoughts of Spring . . . And Items Needed for Summer Travelling WHY NOT START NOW?
