With a wide range of topics to be considered it is natural that from these exchange of ideas there will come a desire to foster a standardization of design in manufacturing defence weapons, It is quite probable that in the event of hostilities, Canadian and Doubtless stockpiling of strategic materials will play an im- portant part in the discussions. In this phase Canada will con- tribute in no small measure as we are among the world’s leading producers of nickel, uranium and other metals so vital in any 112}- tional defence program. The first subjects to be discussed concerning chemicals, ex- plosives and non ferrous metals have already been carefully con- sidered from a Canadian angle by the members of the Canadian Industrial Preparedness Association. The most encouraging part of the news is that something concrete has been achieved in correlating the defence prepared- ness programmes of the two countries. Paralleling the work of the Joint Defence Board it brings back to light the many good points_ of the Hyde Park Agreement. ‘ The announcement that industrial preparedness committees from Canada and the United States are getting together in Wash- ington to thrash out common problems, opens a new field in friend- 1y relations with our southern neighbours. The preparation of a cropping plan and keeping a good set of accounts are two important means at the disposal of the far- mer which enable him to carry on his agricultural business in an economical manner by giving each piece of land and each animal a chance for maximum production with a minimum of expense. By taking inventory of the herd and their requirements, by eval- ulting the productive capacity of the soil, by calculating cost of fertilizer and the amount of labour required, one will not be walk- ing blindly but will know which farm enterprise to expand in an effort to increase the return for labour expended. After the cropping plan is prepared, lay out a plan so that necessary amounts of manure will be placed in each field accordâ€" ine‘ to the crop to be grown. This is also a good time to decide how much commercial fertilizer will be needed so that an order may be placed for delivery in the spring. When final decisions have been reached, the next question IS to calculate the amount of roughage and grain necessary to feed rthe herd, and then to prepare a cropping plan fOr the year to come. ' Determine what crops to grow and the acreage required for each crop, taking into consideration the condition of the soil and choosing for each crop the field best suited to it. Using information obtained on his own farm, the farmer â€" to a certain extent â€" is able to make necessary changes in his organization. ‘On some farms, as an example, the books may Show that it would be better to get rid of a couple of cows and re- place them yvith a sow. On‘others , because of the topography of the farm and its location, it would be better to add five 'or six ewesLHThe records may indicate other desirable changes. Actually the farmer, who during the year has ploughed, seeded, harvested, and then turned the products of his field into milk, bacon. eggs, wool, has done a magnificent job. It is never- theless wisei‘and important to pause for a moment ‘ and glance back at the success obtained and the losses sustained. Each far- mer should therefore take inventory of what he possesses study his revenues and expenditures and establish'which branches of his farm operations are profitable and which could be improved. A new year is upon us and farmers who conduct their bus- iness by the calendar year are now closing their books, takIng in- ventqry and preparing a gropping plan for 1949. Winchester has a large number of citizenwudging from the things they have accomfilished in making the town a better place in which to‘ live. Evei'y'town has its‘residents. Let’s be thank- ful the large majority of its people are citizens. But there are other people in the town,, too, besides these progressive ones; people who obtain their living in Winchester but who don’t wish to return anything to the town. These are mereâ€" ly residents; the 6thers â€"â€" citizens. Perhaps they serve a useful purpose as critics Of the work done by citizens,- but by themselves they do little. w > In our oyvn, Wmchest‘er, may be found some examples of such work â€" the new Memorial'Hoslaital, the Arena, the desire for betâ€" ter educational facilities an’d‘the support to charitable and social welfare drives. These are the things which show a town’s ag- gressiveness, its desire for Ibetter things. The people and organizations in, any town may be likened to the divisions on a yardstick. The individual members of the or- ganization may be likened to the fractions of an inch, the individ- ual organhations to the inches, and the town to the sum total of these inches. One person‘s work may not, make or break the town, but when everyone does his share the result will show in attractive homes, better recreational facilities, up-to-date town utilities and a competent town council. How strong is any town ‘2 A strong town is made up of peo- ple who are civic-minded; people who get out and vote at election time; people who support town organizations and, if a worthwhile organization gets into difficulties, attempt to keep it going rather than let it fall by the wayside. Its people not only take an interest in the town, but are willing to go out of their way to further the town’s interests. Its peoples are working people, business men. professional men. housewives. But regardless of what the in- dividual is or what he does fora living, if he is a worthwhile citâ€" izen he will take an interest in the town and try to make it a bet- ter place .in which to live. A town is only as strong as its individual citizens; only as modern and progressxve as its cmzens care to make It. It can only progress as its Cltizens allow it to. An Agricultural Pair one hunred years old is really some- thing to be proud of, as few Societies in Ontario can boast such a long record of continuous service. Let‘s all get behind the 1949 Centenary Fair and make it a really outstanding event. Down through the years public spirited men from village and surrounding country have joined together in carrying on the work of this organization. That the fair has carried on thrOugh good times and times not so good is a tribute to the fine type of direction and leadership provided by these men. Day has been the occasion for a sort of old Boys’ re-union as well as an Agricultural Exhibition. The Agricultural Society served the community well by stag- ing this annual attraction, but in addition it has carried on a fine work in encouraging the best in livestock and Agricultural pro- duction. In addition to the annual fair it has from. time to time sponsored field crop, seed and farm home competitions which have made a worthwhile contribution to the life of the County. This year Richmond Hill Fair will observe its one hundredth birthday, and offices and members of the Agricultural Society are already busy on plans to make the big event on May 24th a mem- orable occasion in the life of the district. Richmond Hill Agricultural Society founded in 1849 has a long record of outstanding service to the community. Fair Day has long been an institution in Richmond Hill and since away back when people from the whole countryside drove in with horse-drawn vehicles to the present day of the motor car Victoria An Independent Weekly â€" Established 1873 Subscription Rate, $2.00 per year; To the United States $2.50 Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Assriation J. 1').

Again both R.H»H.S. teams emerged victor- io'us. The score was 31-12 for the seniors and 30-1l1 for the juniors. Sandy Neal, captain of the senior team sparked his team to victory by scoring 8 of their points. Gordon Bm'bidg'e was the star of the junior game scoring 11.p0ints. ‘Our teams have played three games and won three. As there are only three games left to play, Richmond Hill will come out on top of the leaguedt‘. they continue their winning streak. The next game is at Aurora and anyn'support that could be given to the playerswould be much apprec- iated. The winners of the North York Championship will compete in the C.O.S.S.A. playdowns in March. (By Keith Teetzel) On Tuesday, January 25, the senior and junior boys’ ‘basketball teams left R.H.H.S. for Newmai‘ket for a contest with the lads of that town. Both Richmond Hill teams won, the seniors by a score of 42-1-and the R.H.H.S. Sport Slants While primarily the discussions will cover matters concerning methods of preparing industry for national defence, nevertheless with top flight industrialists of both countries sitting acr08s a cgnmon board. it is natural to forecast that great benefits will also derive from ‘these talks that will have a bearing on our way of life in peace time. To standardize a tank tread is only one step away from standardizing the treads of farmtractors. In discussions such as will take place in Washington, Canada will have no need to feel inferior when fronted with the manufac- turing might of our next door friend. We have much to contribute in “know how” that more than makes up for our lack of mass pro- duction facilities. ‘ The defence of the North country is bound to play a very large part in North American defence plans.There, our knowledge of conditions and terrain, plus manoeuvrability by snowmobiles and‘ofi the road vehicles, of which we are well informed, will be an important factor. The results of these exchanges of ideas will be watched with interest throughout the world. It fosters the thought that sim- ilar discussions might well take place between Canada, the United Kingdom and other members of the Commonwealth. Canada can feel proud of the vigorous and leading role she is playing in indus- trial preparedness.
