Among The Farmers

On Monday the list of Feb- uarv pm-m Forum groups dis- ! ..-(mi the topic "The Farmer and fll1(-lUrl)all Worker - which is better off".
we have been told for many years that many farm people are interested in moving into thescity um are generauy dissatisfied with their lot in life. Present day "pinion A at least present day tipinion as represented by Farm forums hi this province 7- does not appear to bear this belief out. 5 public opinion changing,or has rural living been catching up on urban to the point where farm people now feel that they have some real advantages?
The Forums were asked to list ms different factors which they thought should be considered in grrll'lflg at a decision as to who was better off. In numerical or- dfr of selection the factors men- mined were - Independence of (nrmer. Income, Security, Social Lm. and Recreation. Actual working. hours, Motlcrn conven- iences. Health, Education. Fam- lIi”s welfare. Sense of achieve- ment. and Working conditions. other factors mentioned were Cul- tural aspects, Married status. Ownership and Free week-ends.
After having carefully consid- grP(l the qtit-stion, 60ft. of the Frirnin groups reporting had come in the conclusion that the fariuers aic llPllPl' off than are urban iitirtters.

IARLY IPRING
At time of writing (we must of necessity make allowance for some serious relapses) indications point to an early summer provid- ed that it is the intention to have a summer this year. Charlotte- town harbour which did not freeze over until the first of February is already rapidly opening up and ferry service could well soon be the order of the day.
In the minds of the farmer. early springs are not generally looked upon with too much en- thusiasm, the hare fields expos- ed toa repeated freezing and thaw- ing are not expected to produce a strong stand of grass or hay. However. we have had that type of situation for the last five or six years. nevertheless grass has been excellent - far above aver- age - perhaps the old rule no longer applies.
FARMERS' WEEK
Between the writing and pub- lication of this column meetings of five different organizations have taken place. We always look forward to meeting the delegates and visitors of these meetings and keep hoping that they have found the experience an interesting and profitable one.

HALIFAX, Feb. it-In an inter- view here today, William L. Keele internationally famous trichologiat and director of the Keele Hair Experts. said "There are 18 dit. ferent scalp disorders that cause most men and omen to lose hair. Using common sense, a person must realize no one tonic or so- called cure-all could correct all the disorders," be explained.
GUARANTEED
"The Keele firm I ognlzing that most people are skeptical of claims that hair can be grown on balding heads, offers a guarantee." Keele said.
Once a person avails himself to the Keale treatment his skepticism immediately disappears. To h- sure this, we offer this guarantee. "If you are not completely satis- fied with your hair progress at the and of 80 days your money will be returned."
HOPELESS cast-:s nisconaacno
First, the Lrichologist in quick to tell hopeless cases that they can- not be helped. But Hie "hopeless" cases are few. Only I a man h completely. shiny baldi H be h this last category.
If there is fuzz. no matter how light. thin. or colourless, the Keele treatment can perform wonders. A complete private exnminntl is given by a trlchologist to deter- mine Iie condition of his scalp and cause of his hair trouble.
FREE EXAMINATION
This examination is very thor- ough and highly technical, it re- quires N to 30 minutes. The tri- chologist. makes no charge for

this examination and no appoint- ment ls necessary. After the ex- amination the person is told the required length of treatment and how much it will cost.
After starting treatment, the person makes regular reports to the Keele firm in Halifax to check the progress of the home treat- ment.
To spread the opportunity of normal. healthy hair in the thous- ands who are desperately looking for help. independent trlchologistl are visiting various cities through- out Canada to conduct examina- tions and start home treatment.
NO CURE-ALL
"We have no cure-all for slick, shiny baldness." Keele emphas- izes. ”If there is fuzz. the root is still capable of creating hair and we can perform what seems to be a miracle."
There is one thing Koele wants m be certain every man and wo- man knows. If a IOCEIIIOII ap- pears at the temples or a spot be- gins to show up on the crown of the head. there is something wrong and it should be given immediate attention.
HAIR FOR LIFETIME
I clients follow our direction during treatment. and after they finish the course. there in no rea- son why they will not have hair all the rest of their lives," Keele said. "Our firm is definitely be- hind this treatment, it all depends on the Individual client's faithful observation of a few simple rules."
