- "Peter Nielson, of RR 2, St. Thomas, gets ready for next year's corn crop by covering the corn stover. Mr. Nielson is retired but " I never worked so hard in all my life," he said, referring to his 50-acre farm." (10a)
- " Dale Monteith of Skyway Farms, RR 3, Shedden, stands with his Hereford cow in the beef cattle competitions at the Royal Agricultural winter Fair in Toronto, last week." (10b)
- " Retired St. Thomas fire chief George Colledge spent a recent sunny fall afternoon by painting his dump cart to prevent rust. Mr. Colledge lives at RR 5, St. Thomas." (10c)
- " Lois Kruppe helps her husband John with the recent kidney bean harvest on their farm at RR 1, St. Thomas. She described the yield as not too bad considering the summer's drought." (10d)
- " Seven-year-old Johnny Fehr, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Fehr of Aylmer, samples the mouthwatering taste of an Elgin County grown McIntosh apple." (10e)
- " Judy Monteith and neighbour Jennifer Hancock, of RR 3, Shedden, show this Aberdeen Angus cow during competition at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto last week. It can be a struggle to keep the small animal still, as Judy and Jennifer learned. Judy worked to show her Angus as its best possible advantage while trying to catch the eye of the judge." (10f)
