Truly may this excerpt- "Devout, yet cheerul; pious. not austere: To others lenient. to him- self sincere."-be applied to John Francis Conn ",, Science! But to appreciate him fully one must be fortunate enough to know him as an intimate friend- On June 4. 1935 John was born in St. John's, Newfoundland "At the age of six he entered St. Bonaventure's Col- lege and left behind him an en- viable academic record when he graduated some eleven years later. He then entered the Pre-Medical Faculty of Memorial University of Newfoundland. and during his years were proved his capabilities in the responsible positions of Treasurer of the Newman Club. and Business Manager of "The Muse"-the student newspaper.

SCHOOL DISTRICT MEETING

Federation of Agriculture mem- bers are reminded that Monday. May 6 has been set as the date for the local school district meet-

ings. T h e s e meetings concern

themselves with the appointmt of chairmen and secretaries. with the bringing up to date of member ships. with problems of concern to farmers and with the protection program offered by the Federa- tion to its members.

May tlth was -picked as a date when it was felt travelling would be reasonably good and when there would be no rush of activity on the land. The meetings are to be held. unless otherwise arrang- ed. at the school and the secre- tary and chairman are urged to make the necessary arrangements with school officials.

It is hoped that a large num- ber of farmers will make arrange- ments to set aside the evening of May 0th to meet with their neighbours in strengthening and creating interest in the Federation of Agriculture.

BENEFITS

Far too many farmers ask the question "Why should I support the Federation of Agriculture?" . question In the negative. We doubt 4 that there is any farmer in Canada -worthy of the name who has not ' benefltted to some extent through , the Federation of Agriculture and most of them have enjoyed very . consider.-bi: F fits. . We do not intend to go back ov-

er the years for instanc to cite

nor do we intend to discuss in a-

general way the importance and ecesslty of nrral people being or-

ganlzed to develop policy with of

respect to their own affairs. Dur- ing the past few months a num- ber of benefits have come to far- mers. benefits which were work- ed on by the Federation of A ic- ulture. True. the Federation Eves not claim all the credit in these matters but it is certainly entitled to a share.

We could mention the placing of a tariff on American potatoes. the Federation has been active in this

The main point of contention has of course been the right of marketing boards to impose levies and charges to raise funds to finance their oper- ations. Nearly every case where boards get into difficulties or in curred the active opposition. mat- ters of levies was the one that pro- duced the pretext for court ac- tion.

However. this question of lev- ies being or not being indirect tax- ae would appear to be pretty well covered by the following section or Bill 403.

"The Governor in Council may be order grant to any board or agency mentioned in subjection fl) authority.

JEAN-CLAUDE DESBOSIEIIS

In December. 1934. the Deares- lers family was blessed with a twelfth child whom they called Jean Claude. Ilia tender years were passed without serious incident. except that he was all that was needed to worry his parents. He received his primary educa- tion in his native village. then fol- lowed his classical studies up to "Rhetorique" at College Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere. Then he worked for a year with the Irving Oil Co. and in the Fall of '55 this blond, smiling Quebecker made his de- but at S.D.U. as arts stuent. Although his knowl ge of Shakes- spear's language was very limit- ed, Jean-Claude was not long mak- ing acquaintances and he soon won the friendship of each and every one.

This year Jean-Claude was active in the Glee Club and in the French Choir; but it is probably only his closest friends who hear his best performances. He is al- so a member of staff RED and WHITE. excells in sports such as tennis and baseball. a ad is proficient at figure skating.

Jean-Claude plans to further his studies next year in pursuit of a Degree in Commerce from 8.

FARMERS

You hear a lot of talk

I about Diesel tractors today. The 01”" CUFD. Co. Ltd. make

and sell a Diesel in every class from a 2 to I plow to a I plow tractor ranging from J! I'I.P. to 80 H P. in six different models and I think the only manu- facturer of farm machinery that does. They have been doing this for years. g

Sometimes as you know we can buy a thing a little cheaper but don't you agree we only get what we pay for.

All our tractors can be equipped with 3 point hitch standard draw bar, live hydrlic, live P.T.0. disco brakes. The Oliver was the first to use a completely enclosed discs brakes and I could tell much more. Better still drop in and see for yourself.
