Franny asked. ~The little girl nodded. "All year round?" asked Martha. Again the silent nod. Then, with a burst of animated pride, "We got pigs--and chickens, I own a chicken of'my own." | They were off, then, the three of them, poking among the pigs and chickens, giggling, enjoying every treasure inthe ramshackle farm-yard. The father came out and chatted with me. He was young, rather poorly dressed, and he grinned widely at the antics of my twins and his daughter. In a moment of quiet, he looked about his disordered yard and the rickety, banked-up house. Then he looked me in the eye. "We've only been here three months. We'll put it tin good shape in time. It's not-- well, I've got no education, but I can make a living here and be independ ent." ; I nodded.

Honeydale, Man- Price Rises We sometimes hear consumers com- plaining about the price of milk. Of course, for a big family with a low in- come, milk becomes an important item. It means buying three, four or even five quarts: every day. Because it is a basic food in our country, the prep- aration of meals cannot be imagined without it. To the housewife conscipus of the health of her family, its im- portance, especially for children and adolescents, cannot be overlooked. Statistics show that from 1939 to 1960, personal, annual, disposable in- come has more than quadrupled ($339 -$1,408), while the cost of the food basket has only risen two and a half times ($10-$26), and milk has gone from 11 cents to 23% cents. This means that while income and prices have been going up, food commodity prices have risen less than consumer prices in general and milk, still less. Back in 1914, sirloin steak was sel- ling at 26 cents a pound and a quart of milk at 9 cents--a little more than one third. In 1939, a pound of round steak cost 23% cents and a quart of milk, 11 cents. With the jump (that EE Ts 231% cents in 1939 to 78% cents in 1950 and to 92 cents in"196}, which means it has nearly quadrupled from 1039 to-1961. If the price of milk had made the same jump, it would now be 44 cents a quart. Ontario County Agri.

Mrs. Cliff Short, leader of the North Group conducted the devotons, opening with a call to worship and hymn. The Bible lesson was read by Mrs. G. :j Stone, and she followed this with = report on her two days at the Train- ing School for Leaders held at Whitby. She gave a very enthusiastic account of the sessions and introduced some of the books for study. She expressed the hope that next year a lot of women might be able to attend if only for a day or two. Mrs. Short then called on Mrs, O. Sweetman, who had been invited to speak. Mrs. Sweetman took as her topic "The Shepherd and the Sheep", and recalled many passages in the Bible where sheep and their shepherd are mentioned. She gave a very inter- esting and inspiring message. Mrs. J. Tobin played a recording of music by Seagrave Choir. The Corresponding Secretary read some correspondence and a Thank You Note for Sympathy expressed to the MacTaggart family. Mes. W. King reported on "Sick Boxes" and "Get Well" Cards sent during the summer, and presented a card for all present to sign to be sent to Mrs Allan Crosier who is in Blackstock, Honey- | Hospital, The Rall Call showed thirty-one present including three visitors, The Treasurer gave a very encouraging report. Mrs, E, Clements reported the business done by the Parsonage Board |: with regard to a new furnace. Mrs. Fishley reported for the Supply Com. mittee and mentioned quilts ready for quilting. Mrs L. Nicholls and Mrs. C. Short were asked to be responsible for baby layettes for the bale, which they con- sented to do. It was agreed the roll call at the next meeting should be answered by an article suitable for a layette. The ladies decided to secure three copies of "The Word and the Way" for mission study, and one copy of "On Asia's Rim" for niission study, more copies to be secured if needed. The meeting closed with a hymn and the Mizpah Benediction. Mrs. J. Tobin gave a humorous read-' ing while refreshments were being prepared, and all enjoyed a social hour. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Short and daughters, Sharyn and Shirley spent the week-end camping at Kennisia Lake in Haliburton, Mr. and Mrs. L. Nicholls also en- joyed camping on the week-end with Kathy and Calvin. They choose as their camp site Sibbald's Point, on Lake Simcoe. Mr, and Mrs. Glenn Dowson have by Ron Scrivens.

Rey- nolds on Sunday were Mr and Mrs. Wes English and Dean of Beaverton and Mr. and Mrs. R. Wanamaker and Wayne of Port Perry. We have new houses being built in the Seagrave area, but we also have one far more interesting. The Short farm home, which overlooks Lake Scugog and has been in the family for four generations. At present Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Short, the fourth generation are preparing to. move irto it, During the summer they have modernized the house by installing an oil furnace, adding a bathroom, make a large picture window in the living room which gives a wonderful view of the fertile fields and the lake. The large family kitchen has been re- modelled with everything modern and as handy as possible, At one time farms off the main venient, but now with cars and snow- moving equipment, they can be really enjoyed. Since Mr. and Mrs. Charles Short have a daughter and a son, they no doubt look forward to the time when even a fifth generation may till the family acres, and enjoy life on the family farm. Mr. and Mrs. John Tobin and family had a surprise 26th Wedding Anni- versary gathering for Mr. and Mrs. Reg. Abraham on Sunday evening.. When refreshments were all in readi- ness, the Anniversary Cake in a prominent position, and everything arranged as nicely as possible, Reg and Norma were called in to receive some lovely gifts and greet about thirty relatives and friends.
