Forum Feels That Farmers Should Unite For Strength The topic “Is Parity Income‘ Enough” was the third discus- sion on Parity for Agriculture studied by Edgeley Farm For- um on January 21, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. Kefier. After studying the question “Do you feel that obtaining parity income is the most important problem in agriculture.” the members felt that the biggest problem was get- ting the farmers to co-operate and unite in their thoughts and ways to obtain a stronger voice and to make their wants known and achieved. They said this unity must come first before parity income can be a reality. The farmers' problems would unquestionably be lighten- ed if he can maintain a relative- ly stable parity income. Lack of capital is his bug-bear, however, it does not solve all the problems. For instance, increasing efficien- cy is partly a problem of develop- ing policies so that farmers have confidence in the future to take advantage of new techniques. Se- curity in health and old age or retirement pose special problems as well as protection against ldrought, disease and disaster. Do Remodelling At United Church Work parties are the order of the day around Maple United Church for the next two weeks, as volunteers painters, carpen- ters and tile floor layers seek to put the present Sunday School hall in shape for the opening of the new Christian Education Centre on Sunday, February 17.

Each night a group of workers, ladies and gentlemen assemble under, the direction of Warren Bailie, general chairman, Bruce Murchison in charge of painting operations, Lloyd Pal- mer in charge of floor laying and Norman Lund supervisor of choir room alterations. Members of the Woman’s Association have been responsible for the serving of refreshments at the close of the work periods. Unveil Memorial Painting If we were to ask a number of poultrymen what they wanted in a chick starter we might get a lot of different answers. But, we’d be willing to bet that about three points would cover everything. 1. They would want a starter that would give good performance. 2. They would want a starter that was economical to buy. 3. They would want a starter that was sure sure to be fresh. Based on past performance, and this year with increased protein, extra vitamin and mineral fortification and increased energy level, our new SHUR-GAIN Super Chick Starter will leave' no questions about good per- formance. Take a look at a SHUR-GAIN fed flock and see for yourself. The economy of SHUR-GAIN is based on the simple fact that it’s manu- factured right in our mill and we sell it direct to you. This same feature assures freshness. Often the chick starter you purchase will have been made the same day. . So FOR PERFORMANCE, ECONOMY AND FRESHNESS make it SHUR- GAIN Super Chick Starter in 1957. MAPLE FEED MILL MAPLE, ONT. Teiephone TU. 4-1650 Some of our customers were a little sceptical, I'll admit, when I announced proudly that the new 1957 Pontiac had been redesigned and restyled right from front to back to make it the best car buy on the road today. From front so back, I told them, and I proved it. From the front . . . . well, take the radiator. The Pontiac radiator is structurally much stronger this year and'the pressure has been raised from seven pounds per square inch to 13. I sometimes get a big “so what" when I reveal thisâ€"so i explain it. Among the advantages is the fact that the boiling point in the radiator is raised to 31 degrees above normalâ€"that’s a big margin of safety. Yes, from front to back, Pontiac is the most excitingly new car I’ve seen. Going toward the back of the new Pontiac we find a more powerful engine, a new distributor andâ€"Pontiac really stands out hereâ€"the entire drive assembly has been improved. Pontiac is a mass produced carâ€"sureâ€"but not so mass produced it forgets individual needs. There are three dif- ferent kinds of radiators. With Hydra-Marie transmission the radiator has a built-in oil cooler. And with air condi- tioning the radiators are bigger to take care of the extra load. To my mind zho unsung heroes of this wonderful car business are the engineers who design tho "under-thee hood" car that most of us know linlo about and seldom In. They’ve done some wonderful things under the hood 0! the new Pontiac I want to tell you about next waek. And at the back, rear and. shafts are redesigned and stronger. the differential is new. All of Pontiac is now right back to the striking rear fender fin with its integrat- ed lights reflectors and dual exhaust ports.
