Summer’s Fleeting Youth?
August 28 marks the Canadian Summer Holiday. It’s
also the Feast Day of St. Augustine of Hippo (354-
430), a man of rhetoric who repented of his "wild
youth” in Carthage. Summer and youth are both fleet
ing. We “welcome the coming, speed the parting guest,”
but few of us like to see summer end. If it’s any com
fort, time moves a little slower in summer, or at least the
grandfather clocks would suggest so. It turns out that
metal pendujums expand with the heat, making them
slightly longer and slightly slower. So enjoy your extra
bit of summer and extended youth
thereat though they may be.
ns- Tighten the metal end springs on summer window
shades to make them roll up with quicker action.

You get

It’s interesting that some Poultry
Producers who would never buy the
cheapest tractor in the lot will buy the
cheapest equipment for their birds. If
you want equipment that lasts, that
costs little to maintain but delivers a
lot in every workday, you want what
Producers all across the country have
already discovered: Big Dutchman,
the “Mark of Excellence" and Hershey
Equipment, Co. “A Step Ahead". You
can always find cheaper equipment.
But these days, who can afford it?
