\ "PAGE FOUR™ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1950 J.H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 ITBY AN DISTRICT NEWS Local Farm Yields Appear Excellent Today, the whole of Ontario is a vast granary, filled with bumper crops and actually flowing with milk and honey. The southern part of Ontario County, though not above average . throughout the province this year, is, nevertheless, favored with rich crops. Threshing oats and barley is well in progress and practically all wheat is in. Corn crops promise to be exceptionally heavy. Pasture is excellent with resultant fine yields of dairy products and well-fed cat- tle to be seen on every hand. Typical of the fine herds in the district is, perhaps the 41 Here- fords on the farm of William Guth- rie, on the fourth concession at the Audley road. Yesterday, this fine herd could be seen grazing in the field, practically ready for shipment. With their white heads and fine, straight bodies, they made an exceptionally good show- ing. To 'the southward, Flemings, Harris', Red Wing Orchards, Bokar Farms, Ancarol Farms and many others, also have outstanding cat- tle and full barns this year. Apple crops appear to be a good average, - though not bumper crops this year. Within a few weeks, the tomato fields, which have been late, and the corn which will be going to the canneries. Though the season has been cool and wet, farmers are, nevertheless, being favored with exceptionally fine average yields and their economy is being maintained at parity with that of urban workers.

Simple sanitary precautions result in improved family health and well-being. Health authorities agree that many diseases, perhaps even polio, are spread by unclean hands, and hands that are washed frequently are not likely to spread germs. Special emphasis of this fact is being directed toward children, who need this particular protec- tion during the holiday months. Youngsters will find it gay and amusing to "wash up" if parents dramatize the business of clean- liness. Keep charts, award stars, anything to create an interes. in the routine of keeping hands clean. Give children their own equip- ment; towel racks low enough to reach, personalized soap dishes, complete with soap. Brighten the job with small, gay, colorful towels made from unworn parts of old, discarded turkish towels. The Canadian Foundation for Poliomyelitis (Canadian March of ROBT.

Many Attend Donkey Baseball Local baseball stalwarts who are used to getting themselves booed found themselves laughed at Sate when they make ridiculous plays, urday night. The Whitby "Stok- ers" met the "Merchants" for a round of Donkey baseball under floodlights. Final score was said to be 5-2 in favor of the Merchants who claimed greater co-opera from the donkeys. . A large attendance guffawed at the clowming of the players and were duly appreciative of the trained donkeys' antics. The im- pressario who trains his tempera- mental donkeys at his Tuscon, Arizona ranch, introduced them all by name and put them through a few tricks to the delight of the audience. Such famous names in baseball as Hurley, Yuill, Tyson, Samanski, Moore, Reed, McDon- ald and the rest, saw their repu- tations sink as the game progress- ed and they were outwitted by the donkeys two to one, The trained mounts responded well to the commands given them over the sound system and to make it more interesting, the orders were in Spanish so that the play- ers had no idea what tp expect.

Miners Reject Wage Offer In Gold Field Timmins, Aug. 21--(CP) --Em- ployees of Buffalo Ankerite Gold Mines have rejected a company of- fer aimed at settling a wage dispute. Officials of the Porcupine Mine Workers Union (C.C.L.) said it will continue to press for a guaranteed cost-of-living bonus of seven cents an hour, the main point in the dis- pute. The union has made the same de- mand of Coniaurum Gold Mines and has been on strike at Preston East Dome Mines since Wednesday. All three mines are in the Reach Por- cupine field near here. The union has demanded that Coniaurum and Buffalo Ankerite settle on the same terms as a con- tract signed recently with McIntyre Mines, which provides four paid an- nual holidays and a sliding scale of cost-of-living bonuses up to seven cents an hour. : Coniaurum offered a bonus of up to five cents an hour. Buffalo An- kerite offered to pay the bonus as far as possible. Both offers were re- jected. A meeting of nearly 150 Buffalo Ankerite employees rejected he company offer Saturday and author- ized the union strike committee to meet the mine management again for negotiations.

Federation of Agriculture Alarn.cd At Strike Threat Ottawa, Aug. 21--Declaring that the threatened railway strike must not be permitted to happen under any consideration, and suggesting that as a last resort the Federal Government might declare a na- tional emergency and take over operation of the railways, the Canadian Federation of Agricul- ture 'issued the following statement regarding the present strike issue, from its national office in Ottawa: "The farmers of Canada note with increasing alarm the failure of the contending parties in the present railway labor dispute, to settle their differences, and they are critical of the uncompromising statements made by both parties to the dispute. "Farmers, in common with the great proportion of Canadian c'ti- zens, believe that a strike of such magnitude as is now threatened in the transportation fieli, would be a national calamity. Certainly it would spell great economic loss for the agricultural industry. "Farmers are also seriously con- cerned about the outcome of the dispute. They are acutely conscious of the fact that higher railway costs invariably are passed on in the form of higher freight rates, and sinfe agriculture provides a very large share of all freight traf. fic, the burden of such increased costs will fall heavily upon th farming industry. Accordingly, while not arguing the merits of the particular claims of labor in this dispute, farmers are inclined to be resentful of the apparent quences upon agriculture, as the basic industry of the nation, in de- mands now being made. "The great majority of those en- gaged in agriculture work at least 60 hours a week the greater part of the year, and see little or no prospect of hours of work and overtime pay as demanded by labor, except at the expense of greatly increased costs of food to the people. "In any event, there seems no good reason why the present dis- putes should not be settled prompte ly. Organized agriculture appeals to the parties in the dispute to reach a settlement quickly in the general interest. "The threatened strike must not be permitted to happen under any circumstances. If no such settlement can be reached, it is reasonable to suggest that he Gove ernmen should, as a last resort, de- clare a national emergency and, take over the operation of the rail- ways."
