woodbridge ontario hydro photo hydro ladies forego gifts to support chinese boy a hong kong chinese family will have a bright christmas this year because of the generos ity of a group of sixty ontario hydro central region ofiicc staff ladies usually the sixty distaff mem bers have drawn names and ex changed gifts among themselves at christmas however last yuletide the idea occurred to them that their gift exchanging was rather superfluous and self- centred they felt that they could do something more worthy at this season someone suggest ed pooling this money to adopt a child in hong kong for a year through the canadian save the children fund the plan to adopt a child was put into action and so lor the i past year the sixty young ladies have been supporting a chinese lad ylu wan wong now ten years old they have had grate ful letters from the boy whom they have nicknamed john thanking them for their support and the special rcmcmbancc and gifts on his birthday his one special request was for a group picture of ail the girls and this has been sent along with a christmas package to john and the members of his family mother unable to help yiu wah wong 10i years old was born in hong

his two sisters brother and mother they sent it off with their warmest wishes contained in christmas cards nothing could have given the sixty hydro girls more happi ness than their remembrance this yuletide they now realize that theirgenerosityis paying off in terms of human happiness in a part ofthe world where much help is needed like sixty jolly foster mothers that they have become these young ladies have been thrilled with the let ters from their adopted boy and the picture they received during the year of this chinese young ster an idea born at christmas time last year has developed into something very tangible and re warding this yuletide for now a warm personal relationship exists for sixty hydro staff ladies with a once destitute chinese lad whom they can truly wish a merry christmas yiu wah wong fabm report difficult to put price on cob corn a a wall agricultural bepreseoiatite xork county how much should i pay for cob corn i get this question regularly these days id like to be able to give a nice definite answer of so many dollars per ton but i find that to give an answer i have to throw in a lot of ifs and buts and even then im not very sure if a bargain is really a bargain the fact that grn corn is good feed for any kind of live stock is well accepted we also have to realize however that the quality of cob corn varies far more than any other kind of feed as a result there has to be a wide range in price maturity is of prim import ance shrivelled soft kernels are a sure indication of low feed value and the price has to be rockbottom before its a good buy the trick is that i dont know how much the discount should be for immaturity and i havent xouna anyone else that knows for sure either eties and normal good practices discount for moisture moisture content really makes a differ ence in the value of corn for example if you buy cob corn with kernel moistuie of 30 the yield of 15 shelled corn is only about 1230 lbs to the ton at this rate if shelled corn at 15 is worth s5600 per ton cob corn at 30 is only worth 3300 a ton then there is the extra cost of handling cob corn which pushes its value down a little more by comparison dry cob corn at 15 moisture yields around 1600 lbs of shelled corn per ton it then is worth around 4500 per ton if shelled corn is selling for 56 00 add to this variation an equal amount for maturity and its easy to see that buying cob corn requires careful consideration is it worth it sure it is because if there are any good buys around in feed they are more likely to be found in cob corn than anywhere else the top corn yield in york this year was over 130 bus per acre and in the competition we had several over the 100 mark these yields were the result of planting early using early vari- been turned

in the will of the deceased provides a touch of prechristmas cheer to dozens of resident families in stouffville only recently a committee of pastors and mem bers of council including the clerk divided the interest from the williamson investment of 54000 among the towns needy in total it amounted to 286506 fortyseven persons benefitted plans revealed the gift of money came as no surprise to many people in town for mr williamson had promis ed to set aside a sum of money in his will he had become quite wealthy through the years and wise investments increased his savings he died june 24
