It is well known that the extension of liberal credit terms does much to put life in the bidding. rarely do those who buy at an auction sale fail to honor their obligation; it is m- portsnt that a good reputation be maintained by those who make a practise of frequenting the farm auction.

occasion which brings together rural people. gives them an op- portunity to exchan e opinions of social. economic an political af- fairs. DEPRESSION

More and more frequently peo- ple are raising the question "Are we in for another depression'l'.' Whether the questioners see good grounds for believing such a dan- ger or are merely being fataliatlc is difficult to say. it can be pointed out that when depressions developed in the past the first signs usually appeared in agri-

g culture. The farmer usually feels

the pinch first. On him the cold winds of reality blow before chil- ling the other segments of the economic body and the present trend in the economic current would appear to be following the historical pattern.

While in Canada and the United States relative farm income has gotten back pretty much to a level comparative with the 1935 to 1999 period yet the price of securities. bonds and stock still continue at a high level. If his- tory is not to repeat itself either fsnn income must show an up- swing or other incomes must come down.

MONEY IN MONEY

in Canada last year farm hi- corne was .in round figures. one and one half billion dollars. In- vestment income in the same year amounted to over three bil- lion. In other. words money earn- ed 'a great deal more money than did all the farm people in Canada. Hard work on the part

"If agricul- tural know-bow is not acquired in public or school it is beyond the reach o most people." From Saskatchewan. Yellow Creek Forum reported, "Agricul- ture should be an optional sub- ject in high school. students in tending to term would be able to take this subject instead of some foreign language which they will not use in farming."

The Klngman Forum in Alberta spoke for the minority: "It would only take time away from some other basic subiect, and we feel it could not be covered thorough- ly." And the Central Elgln Forum in New Brunswick added. "High school is too early for a young person to specialise." HIGHWAY SAFETY

Sflmdlates Chinese Theatre In Canada

WINNIPEG tCP) - A Toronto- born Chinese has injected new life into the Chinese Dramatic society which hsa been bringing Chinese theatre art to the Winnipeg com- munity for 84 years.

Until a year ago the society was producing only two or three plays a year. Now. under the direction of Sam Wong, the group has a play at least once a month.

The productions are paid for by donations and a membership of 150. The group owns some 50 costumes - lavishly-embroidered silk imported from Hong Kong and costing up to 3800 each.

TRAINED N TORONTO

Mr. Wong trained in drama h Tomato under professional actors from China. He also spent five years in China, much of the time in the theatres.

Since moving to Winnipeg in 1064 Mr. Wong has trained most of the performers here. The actors prove their versatility by playing women's parts as well as male

ments sracentiy reached in Gen- 1-gig.

p cultural commodities. However.

The Chinese play usually lasts

about four hours. Mr. Wong wri or adapts all the plays which may be old Chinese dramas or modern stories. The hardest-working members are the musicians who provide a continual accompaniment to the actors. They must get the players off and on the stage at the proper moment. The musicians take their cues from the orchestra leader who comes equipped with a large set of drums and a shaet which 0l'.f,Il1CI the general action I the p .

All that is at prsent known about them is that they are contempor- ary with the life of Jesus.

is there a real Rock of Ages for which the famous hymn by the same name was called? Yes. It occupies a niche in a cavern of the Holy Land.

Because of its huge bulk this stone was popularly supposed to be one of the oldest landmarks. No one knows exactly how old it is or who tagged it with the name. Rock of Ages.

In bygone days impressive ceremonies were held at the rock. Then lights were extin-

guished and a group of singers advanced, singing "Rock of Ages", and the lights came on again. This simple ceremony brought so many visitors to the place that no room was left for the singers and the ceremony was discon- tinued.
