Vacation On the Farm Being Predicted Farmers Need And Are Entitled To Summer Vacations Bear Gran* Farmer Leading In Vacation Movement In Thin County Of course no one can tell what lies ahead, but if this old world is j not turned bottom sides up. it is, quite possible that summer vaca tions will be as well established] for farmers as they are for the man in the town and city. Vaca tions are recognized as an old in stitution in the city, the practice being recognized after a slow pat tern by the workers in the smaH towns, and now vacation ideas are I spreading to the farms. It is admitted.that the vacation movement will encounter tough sledding to the farmer and hon est-to-goodness working group, but it is making progress- Among | others, Farmer Calvin Jfyers, of Bear Grass Township is leading the movement in this county. In planning his farm program right at the beginning of the year. Far mer Ayers sees to it that a con v? mi nt and fairly extensive fish ing schedule is tucked safely in to the program. And he reserves time for visiting here and there over the State. This business of farmers re maining^ at home and slaving themselves nearly to death with* out even as much as "slipping" away from home for a jaunt ev ery now and then is becoming old fashioned. and there is little to be gained when the fanner gets into a rut by working day and night for months and then remaining at home to tell the world how hard he works. How is the vacation to be fi nanced? Well, a sensible vacation' or trip doesn't cost much, and if it does the farmer can get some good pointers from the many tens of thousands of others who go away on vacation and whose fi nances are no better than the far mer's.

Farmer Is Certain Ot Few Things In \n I neertain Age r Vpproprintf Time To Got House in Order To Meet KveiituulitN Not certain that he can sell his surplus products to a bankrupt" world at the close of the war. and not certain that Hitler will allow us to enter the world markets if Germany wins the war, there isn't but one'eertain course for the far mer to follow. And that is to put his house in order and make ready with determination and in close communion with the A1 mighty to meet any eventuality. The first thing to do, according to leaders who have studied the events as they have taken place in Europe, is to first produce an adequate supply of food, storing and caring for any surplus. What a different story it would be in many countries across the water today if those people had stored a large supply of food and had been able to hold on to it. Now is a good time to get out of debt, instead of following u mad dash for pleasure and certain hardships later on. Repairs made now will mater ially aid the farmer to "live" through a depression. Experience has well proved that it is more difficult Id .1.) little things under adverse conditions than it is in normal times. In short, the far mer is following a fairly certain course when he farms for a living GOOD //Homemade Ice Cream THE BEST IN TOWN . . .
