Dymond, Minis- ter of Health and member of the pro- vincial legislature for Ontario County, made a Tuesday stop at the Whitby Ontario Hospital as part of his flying visit to every Ontario Hospital in the Province. The special tour is in con- nection with the celebration of Men- tal Health Week being held last week.

' , During the meeting with supervi sors and senior attendants, Dr. Dy- mond expressed thanks for the fine work being done at the Whitby Hos- pital. "We are all members of a big team" said Dr. Dymond. "To a very essen- tial job you are bringing enthusiasm and zeal that is highly commendable. "I would ask you to be missionar- those people. You are engaged in the last branch of medicine where publié acceptance has not taken place, Public interest has lagged. Yet at the same time it is interesting to note -~ been made in treatments have been developed by lay people. I ask you as missionaries to work for the en- thusiasm and interest of the people you know, so that there can develop a deeper and greater understanding of the problems to be faced". Members of the official party ac- companying Dr. Dymond included Dr. B. H. McNeil, chief of the mental health 'division of Department of Health; Dr. W. G. Brown, Deputy Minister of Health; K. L.

Hugh G. Crozier; Tom Scott, president, and Fred Ollen-Bittle, sec- retary of the Whitby Chamber of Commerce; Fred Ing, chairman of the Whitby Public School Board; Rabbi Northou, of Oshawa and (Rev. John Van Harlem of Whitby. The enlarged party toured the new building with an inspection of the newly established insulin treatment make good hay if it is cut at the pro- per time and stored at the proper time. Newer brands of hay, such as Vernal, Alfalfa and Climax Timothy Aare superior to the older types of al- falfa and timothy. When you cut your hay early, you only have half as much in quantity, but this hay contains over twice as much feeding value or total digestible nutrients. Also you only have half as much work. Weather does not harm early-cut hay as much as late-cut hay. In order to cut his hay at the proper time, Les starts cutting his first field of hay before any of the heads of the grasses or clover appear and he sets July 1st as his goal for finish- ing his haying operations. The lowest cost nutrients can be produced from hay than from any other crop. For seeding for hay Les sows 6 pounds Vernal Alfalfa, one 1b. of Ladino, 3 lbs. of Climax Timothy, and four lbs, of Brome Glass; and if it is also to be for pasture he adds five lbs. of Orchard glass per acre. In regard to haying methods, Les has used various methods such as coiling, tripods, hay loading, buckrake, and a baler. The tripoid method pro- Port Perry Junior Farmers Hosts To Neighbouring Clubs duces excellent hay however, It re- quires too much labor, "Les has used a home-made smooth stem crusher for the last nine years and he has found that this spreads up the curing pro- cess by at least one third and it also speeds up the spoiling process if it rains. Often, he cuts and crushes the hay in one day, and bales the hay the following day. By using the Walker- stooked behind the baler and later by using a special tined fork on the ma- nure loader to load the bales of hay on the wagon, much labour and time are saved. In regard to preparing a later pas- ture for cows, Les sows three bushels of a mixture of oats, rye and wheat per acre before August 16th with a light application of ten-ten-ten ferti- lizer. When pasturing cows on this, it is best to feed them hay, if a slump in milk production is to be avoided when the cows are stabled for the winter. When asked about grass silage, Les said 'that grass silage is secondary to good hay and he only makes grass silage when the weather stops haying operations, Also, in order to have good silage, it should contain at least 76% grass and the remainder legumes. Ted Lamb thanked Les Smith for his interesting and informative talk. Everyone enjoyed the film which stressed the importance of having a well-directed and definite program with proper equipment for physical education in our schools. After the film, Uxbridge, Brooklin and Beaverton clubs entertained every- one with a variety of games for over an hour. Finally the girls of the Port Perry club served cookies and hot chocolate milko.

Practically every mother and a large proportion of the fathers put aside everything else in order to keep an appointment with their children. The younger grades entertain during the afternoon and the senior grades held open house last Wednesday night, but whether it be afternoon or even- ing they are all proud and happy to show father and mother what they have learned during the past terms. The results certainly do merit their pride of accomplishment. The classrooms were all gaily deck- ed out with colorful examples of the children's handwork and the best of the notebooks were laid out on the desks. (Of course the wise parent also took a peek in the drawer below and saw something of the work that was not laid out for inspection). The auditorium program on Wed- nesday evening was very fine. The children were well drilled and carried 'their numbers through with scarcely a hitch. Sometimes we enjoy a pro- gram of this sort so much that we almost overlook the amount of work that has gone on before hand in or- der to bring it to such perfection. Yes, we can honestly say that when the songs and dances flow along so smoothly and without any visible ef- fort then truly there has been a great deal of effort in the preparation. Mr. R. H. Cornish, the principal spoke briefly to the parents, and Mr. Knight, the Inspector also addressed the parents and pupils, saying that the attitude of the parents was also a contributing factor to the success of the student in his school work. Following the program the parents had an opportunity of meeting with the teacher in the classroom where the pupil's work was on display. The principal and all the staff de- serve a great deal of appreciation for the very fine work that they are do- ing With our children. cS RU 4 Girl Guides The April meeting of the Guide and Brownie Mother's L.
