Canada's Tobacco Harvest--Growing more important to Canadians each year is our tobacco crop, which has a value of 52 million dollars this year. Shown here is part of the 40-acre farm near Delhi, Ont., belonging to Bill Treigis whe came here from Lithuania in 1934 and started growing tobacco in a small way. The kilns shown at the left are loaded with tobacco for cur- : Treigis' farm is now worth about $100,000. Hopeless Case An attractive young Government worker made a practice of arriving at the office a few minutes late every day. Repeated warnings by "her supervisor had no effect. Fin- ally, in exasperation, he announc- ed: "Miss Brown, I am tired of talking about your tardiness. I am, therefore, suspending you. for oné day without pay. When would you like to take the day?" "Well, if it's all right with you." she replied, instantly, "I'd. like to use it up being late." * [CANADIAN STYLE | i : ®, -- - t= MOPSY by GLADYS PARKER OKAY, TLL TAKE IT BUT YOULL HAVE 10 TEAeH ME 10 RIDE IT.

In many cases, the parents were to blame; but = there is another cont- ributing factor ---and that is radio. Why firms sponsor some * of the programmes they do, when they could sponsor something that is entertaining, educational and in- formative, is beyond me. Crime stori:s, chillers and thril- lers have no place on the air, in my opinion. After listening to such 'a programme a kid can go off to bed in a state of jitters or with the idea that leading a tough life can be exciting and loaded with adventure. ' We have been listening to some of these programmes lately and what we heard was a lot of bosh --whatever that is. There is no- thing to them except the ingredi- ants for a good night-mare. How many of these programmes are there? We don't know, but these are what we have heard during the past week: The Shadow, The Her- mit, The Clock, Inner Sanctum, The Whistler, and The Green Hor- net. Police sometimes admit that juv- eniles get their crimey ideas from these programmes -- and yet a good honest - firm will pay the "shot" to hae them put on the the way another writer makes- his living -- "but we feel that there isn't a writer living, who is dish- ing out this trash, that couldn't give the kids something more con- structive to think about and still make the same good money do- ing it. Personally, we feel that crime _ stories and heart chillers should be taken off the air. The Winter Fair The Royal Winter Fair, the ma- jor attraction of the year for the country boys and gals, has made its debut and departed for another season, The - dailies were full of stories and pictures of prize win- ners and contestants, many of them being of the younger set, Among them we noticed a group of young ladies who were involved in judging cattle no less. Many young people from other provin- Truseman of N.B. who took part "in judging the Hereford heifer class, Joy Patterson of Calgary who brought her horse down from the west to participate. Margaret . Patterson of Manitoba helped judge poultry and of course local Junior Farmers were. in on th» show too. Makes Good On The Farm A young man by the name of Dave Clark, 18, left the city -two years ago to take. up farming. Working on a farm at Milton, he is so enthused with the work he vows that nothing will make him go back tothe life of the white collar and flashy cravat, In his second year of this work he won the championship of the Halton County Junior Farmer's Calf Club, .which 'we think is a fine record. Dave knows that farming is a hard life, "and means long hours of toil, but his aim is to make farming a real business and a paying busi- ness--and it looks as if he is on the way.

Last-Minute Gift Ideas For Children If you've overlooked some child whom you'd like to remember in'- some simple way, have your car- penter (or your handy husband) saw out large blocks about six by four by one and one-half. Pile them in a carton' covered with gay red paper and your three or four year old will be delighted, and spend many happy hours with them, In- cidentally this is the type block educators favor for small tots, since they are easy to handle at an age when coordination hasn't been high- ly developed. * * * Or paint an old tin bread box with red and green stripes, or. --cover with gay Christmas paper -- and fill with all sorts of small games such as the small fry like: dominoes, Jack-straws, darts, mar- bles, ete. It will take on the form of a treasure chest in their eager eyes, } x x Take an old bread board, some meat skewers and empty spools. Paint each pair of spools and sticks a different color; red, green, blue, yellow, ete. This is a fine way to teach the the tiny children colors and is comparable to the peg:boards. used in the kindergartens, . Holes for the gay spools can be made with brace and bit, or CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM It would be interesting to really know which created the greater stir last week -- Princess Eliza- beth's wedding or Canada's ""auster- ity" program. Personally 1 thought one counter-balanced the other, 1 suppose it is hard for some people to understand the British reaction to the wedding -- many think it Was a dreadful waste of money -- money that shouldn't have been spent with Britain lacking so many of the necessities of life, and they wouldn't listen to the broad- cast for that reason. I don't think "people who have that opinion know very much about real hardship. It is casy to criticize under those circum- stances, Naturally people who are hungry want food for the body but if people are hungry long enough they also crave food for the soul -- so that they may endure their physical discomforts more easily. * * * Princess Elizabeth's wedding gave the British people -- and many Canadians -- colourful, heart-warm- ing romance -- that is, food for the soul. Listening to that broadcast did something to a person -- one was conscious of 3 tightening in the throat. One forgot the bride was England's future queen -- at the moment she was just another girl, marrying the man she loved. And that, I think, was also the feeling behind the cheering crowds on that memorable day. Llizabeth not only symbolized the British throne -- she symbolized Romance. I am sure there were many persons in England who went back to their homes that day, ate an insufficient and unin- teresting meal with less resentment because of that little bit of colour that had come into theirdives. And after all, if the Princess had been married in a cotton dress, would it have added one ounce to the aver- age person's ration? . + . And now, what about Canada's austerity program. That is not so easy to figure out, is it? Personally I think the description "austerity" is a travesty of the word and almost an insult to people who really know what austerity means. On the other hand it is a little carly yet to really appreciate what the outcome will be. It will probably affect the farming "class less than urban citizens but even in the country it may have un- foreseen repercussions, I know it has brought a sudden end to one of my fond, hopes for the future--that ® By Gwendoline P., Clarke is an electric refrigerator, And, oh dear, how I was hoping that next summer | might be spared that ever-lasting running upstairs and down with food to and from the cellar. But I suppose if what has to be, must 'be -- and who am 1 to grumble? Certainly 1 shall go with- out a refrigerator a little longer rather than pay an extra hundred dollars to get one. One gets used to disappointments these days. "Last Saturday, for instance -- Daughter had bought tickets for us for. the Royal Winter Fair, then Partner. | developed some eye trouble -- the inflamation just about closed one eye, and 1 hada touch of neuralgia so that little outing was cancelled. By Saturday night Partner was in bed and 1 was listening to the hockey match -- the fact that the Leafs trimmed the Bruins was a little consolation. Then on Sunday morning Daughter came home for the rest of the week-end -- and that helped still more. . . * ) Well, it looks as if winter is try- ing to pay us a visit at last, So far -we haven't done too badly, Son Bob has got all his ploughing done and the worst is over insofar as our new highway is concerned, It will be even better if we get a frost.
