BUCK RIDGE—Witli the haying
season consuming most of our
days, we see a great deal of borrowing
and lending of mowei's,
rakes and other machinoi'y while
impromptu visits to the neighbors
ai-e aboiit the only rela.vation for
our farmers this montli. Meanwhile,
many of those not tied to
the fields are enjoying holidays
with relatives at distant poinits.

Mrs. Beitty Stuckleburger took
Wayne and Andy to Chilliwack
where they are spending a portiion
of thoir vacation time wiith their
grandfather.

Also visiting his grandparents at

During the recent 4-H Field Day
Bouchie Lake N e w s
BOUCHIE LAKE — With the
weatherman co-operating beautifully,
the Bouchie Lake W.I. picnic,
held last Sunday at the Armsitrong
Beach, was most enjoyable.
About 50 adulits and children spent
a pleasant afternoon talking summing
and eating. The turkey, kept
in someone's deep freezer since
the convention, was very good
with the salads.
Payton Booth brought his mother,
Mrs. Emma Booth out from
town t-o join in the day's evenlts.
Mrs. Booth was a member of the
W.I. for several years before
moving to town.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Puttonen,
with Sandra, Gloria and Valerie
Warden, have rdturned home from
two weeks holiday spent in the
BOwron Lake area. Thoy report
that fishing w'as very good.
Miss Rita Booth will be leaving
this week for Lac la Hache wihere
she will spend several days holidaying
at the Cariboo Youth
Camp.
Those who watched the Gymkhana
pult on by the Trail Riders
Club will join me, I'm sure, in
congratulaiting them on a very
good show. In spiite of the heat the
events were run off in quick succession,
w-hich must have been
hard on all the participants and
their horses as they had Mttle time
to re.gt botween races. It's too bad
a larger area could not be found
for the horse shows, as it's so
much more interesting to waitch
the .slak-e and bending races wnth
all tho hf"'"scs running together instead
of one al a time; using a
stop watcli for timing.
However, as long the thc majority
of the people are more inter
ested in car racing and basebali.
I suppose the horses will lako
w^iatever they can get.
It's fiinny, though, how many
Quosnd people w^^ill go out of town
lo w;iic,"h oilier horse shows and
won't give thoir own Trail Riders
the support they need lo e.x;|):nul
into bigger and beitter .shows.
Bolty and Neil Kniglil have had
Betty's bi-other, Dick Brad.-^haw,
and his wife froni Prince Georgo,
visiting them, and they are oqiecting
Noil's i.>arents. of While Rock,
and Doris and Bill Bradshaw on
.Sunday.
Bouchi'O Lako Scfuare Cluli will
be dancing on liic outdoor i\ocA- al
.^rms•trong's Beach, Bouchie Lake,
on Salurday, July 27). ai N p.m..
wealhei- permitling. Square danc-ers
from Quesnel and Red Bluff
are welcome to attend. Cou]>l(.>s
arc asked to bring thoir own cups
and a few sandwiiches.
club members were impre;,.sed by'
the model barn and milking procedure
displayed at the Prince
George Exipeinmental Farm.

At the regular monthly meeting
held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Chris Dilman, the 4-H'ers debated
the topic, "Dairy Stock versus
Beef," but the conclusions of the
discussion were raither indefinite.
We would enjoy hearing them discuss
this controversial subject again
under more converitional procedure.
:!: :•:
At Sunday's gymkhana at Quesnel,
Clarence Twan and Billy Webster,
the only entrants from our
district, placed in several events.
A good time and sunburned faces
were had by all.
Though Murmy Ohms made a
real haul from Deep Creek where
he went fishing on the w^eekend.
he hasn'it yet found anything w-oiith
mounting.
:|: :;: i-:
Potei- Rock and Clarence Twan
have returned witii their horses
(bar one) from the Vernon horse
show. We are sorry to hear that
their record of good luck was
broken, but wish them better fortune
when they move on north.

TRACTOR ACCroENTS
The majority of ohildren in the
four to eight year group killed in
t
tractor accidents last year w^ere
riding a tractor, not operating one
—just along for the ride. Wouldn't
you rather hear a child cry because
he was refused a tractor
ride, than hear him cry becar.se
hv. got hurt riding one? . . . Tractors
are made for one reason, to
operate—and no more.—The Winkler
(Man.) Pembina Triangle Progi-ess.
