Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 No doubt about it 4-H clubs are
alive and thriving in rural Saskatchewan. The Beatty Beef Club had an event
in Melfort Thursday and the country fairs continue to exist because of the
hard work of 4-H leaders and the outstanding work the clubs do in fostering
a love for agriculture. |

Prince Albert
: How could the most powerful nation on the planet blunder time after time and then

with similar opinions consider a problem they may rely upon formulas and not bother
to look at the facts or relevent information.
