Timing Belt Service: Why It's Crucial for Your Car's Health

Ells Auto Mobile Mechanic understands the importance of regular maintenance to ensure your car's longevity and performance. One crucial component that often requires attention is the timing belt service.

What is a Timing Belt?

A timing belt is a rubber belt that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft in your car's engine. It plays a critical role in ensuring proper combustion and engine efficiency.

Why Does Timing Belt Service Matter?

Preventing Engine Damage: If a timing belt breaks, it can cause the pistons to collide with the valves, leading to severe engine damage. This can be a costly repair or even require a complete engine replacement.

Maintaining Performance: A worn or damaged timing belt can affect your car's performance, leading to reduced power, decreased fuel efficiency, and rough idling.

Avoiding Unexpected Breakdowns: Regular timing belt service can help prevent unexpected breakdowns on the road, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable driving experience.

When Should You Get Your Timing Belt Serviced?

The recommended service interval for timing belts varies depending on the specific make and model of your car. However, most manufacturers suggest replacing the timing belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.

Ells Auto Mobile Mechanic offers professional timing belt replacement services using high-quality parts and advanced techniques. Our skilled technicians will inspect your car's timing belt and associated components to determine if replacement is necessary.

Trust Ells Auto Mobile Mechanic for Your Timing Belt Service

When it comes to timing belt service, it's essential to choose a reliable and experienced mechanic. Ells Auto Mobile Mechanic has a proven track record of providing top-notch automotive services. We prioritize customer satisfaction and strive to deliver exceptional results.

Planet's Fucked: What Can You Do To Help? (Long Post)

Since nobody is talking about the existential threat to the climate and the environment a second Trump term/Republican government control will cause, which to me supersedes literally every other issue, I wanted to just say my two cents, and some things you can do to help. I am a conservation biologist, whose field was hit substantially by the first Trump presidency. I study wild bees, birds, and plants.

In case anyone forgot what he did last time, he gagged scientists' ability to talk about climate change, he tried zeroing budgets for agencies like the NOAA, he attempted to gut protections in the Endangered Species Act (mainly by redefining 'take' in a way that would allow corporations to destroy habitat of imperiled species with no ramifications), he tried to do the same for the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (the law that offers official protection for native non-game birds), he sought to expand oil and coal extraction from federal protected lands, he shrunk the size of multiple national preserves, HE PULLED US OUT OF THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT, and more.

We are at a crucial tipping point in being able to slow the pace of climate change, where we decide what emissions scenario we will operate at, with existential consequences for both the environment and people. We are also in the middle of the Sixth Mass Extinction, with the rate of species extinctions far surpassing background rates due completely to human actions. What we do now will determine the fate of the environment for hundreds or thousands of years - from our ability to grow key food crops (goodbye corn belt! I hated you anyway but), to the pressure on coastal communities that will face the brunt of sea level rise and intensifying extreme weather events, to desertification, ocean acidification, wildfires, melting permafrost (yay, outbreaks of deadly frozen viruses!), and a breaking down of ecosystems and ecosystem services due to continued habitat loss and species declines, especially insect declines. The fact that the environment is clearly a low priority issue despite the very real existential threat to so many people, is beyond my ability to understand. I do partly blame the public education system for offering no mandatory environmental science curriculum or any at all in most places. What it means is that it will take the support of everyone who does care to make any amount of difference in this steeply uphill battle.

There are not enough environmental scientists to solve these issues, not if public support is not on our side and the majority of the general public is either uninformed or actively hostile towards climate science (or any conservation science).

So what can you, my fellow Americans, do to help mitigate and minimize the inevitable damage that lay ahead?

I'm not going to tell you to recycle more or take shorter showers. I'll be honest, that stuff is a drop in the bucket. What does matter on the individual level is restoring and protecting habitat, reducing threats to at-risk species, reducing pesticide use, improving agricultural practices, and pushing for policy changes. Restoring CONNECTIVITY to our landscape - corridors of contiguous habitat - will make all the difference for wildlife to be able to survive a changing climate and continued human population expansion.

**Caveat that I work in the northeast with pollinators and birds so I cannot provide specific organizations for some topics, including climate change focused NGOs. Scientists on tumblr who specialize in other fields, please add your own recommended resources. **

We need two things: FUNDING and MANPOWER.

You may surprised to find that an insane amount of conservation work is carried out by volunteers. We don't ever have the funds to pay most of the people who want to help. If you really really care, consider going into a conservation-related field as a career. It's rewarding, passionate work.

At the national level, please support:

The Nature Conservancy

Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation

Cornell Lab of Ornithology (including eBird)

National Audubon Society

Federal Duck Stamps (you don't need to be a hunter to buy one!)

These first four work to acquire and restore critical habitat, change environmental policy, and educate the public. There is almost certainly a Nature Conservancy-owned property within driving distance of you. Xerces plays a very large role in pollinator conservation, including sustainable agriculture, native bee monitoring programs, and the Bee City/Bee Campus USA programs. The Lab of O is one of the world's leaders in bird research and conservation. Audubon focuses on bird conservation. You can get annual memberships to these organizations and receive cool swag and/or a subscription to their publications which are well worth it. You can also volunteer your time; we need thousands of volunteers to do everything from conducting wildlife surveys, invasive species removal, providing outreach programming, managing habitat/clearing trails, planting trees, you name it. Federal Duck Stamps are the major revenue for wetland conservation; hunters need to buy them to hunt waterfowl but anyone can get them to collect!

THERE ARE DEFINITELY MORE, but these are a start.

Additionally, any federal or local organizations that seek to provide support and relief to those affected by hurricanes, sea level rise, any form of coastal climate change...

At the regional level:

These are a list of topics that affect major regions of the United States. Since I do not work in most of these areas I don't feel confident recommending specific organizations, but please seek resources relating to these as they are likely major conservation issues near you.

PRAIRIE CONSERVATION & PRAIRIE POTHOLE WETLANDS

DRYING OF THE COLORADO RIVER (good overview video linked)

PROTECTION OF ESTUARIES AND SALTMARSH, ESPECIALLY IN THE DELAWARE BAY AND LONG ISLAND (and mangroves further south, everglades etc; this includes restoring LIVING SHORELINES instead of concrete storm walls; also check out the likely-soon extinction of saltmarsh sparrows)

UNDAMMING MAJOR RIVERS (not just the Colorado; restoring salmon runs, restoring historic floodplains)

NATIVE POLLINATOR DECLINES (NOT honeybees. for fuck's sake. honeybees are non-native domesticated animals. don't you DARE get honeybee hives to 'save the bees')

WILDLIFE ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER (support the Mission Butterfly Center!)

INVASIVE PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES (this is everywhere but the specifics will differ regionally, dear lord please help Hawaii)

LOSS OF WETLANDS NATIONWIDE (some states have lost over 90% of their wetlands, I'm looking at you California, Ohio, Illinois)

INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE, esp in the CORN BELT and CALIFORNIA - this is an issue much bigger than each of us, but we can work incrementally to promote sustainable practices and create habitat in farmland-dominated areas. Support small, local farms, especially those that use soil regenerative practices, no-till agriculture, no pesticides/Integrated Pest Management/no neonicotinoids/at least non-persistent pesticides. We need more farmers enrolling in NRCS programs to put farmland in temporary or permanent wetland easements, or to rent the land for a 30-year solar farm cycle. We've lost over 99% of our prairies to corn and soybeans. Let's not make it 100%.

INDIGENOUS LAND-BACK EFFORTS/INDIGENOUS LAND MANAGEMENT/TEK (adding this because there have been increasing efforts not just for reparations but to also allow indigenous communities to steward and manage lands either fully independently or alongside western science, and it would have great benefits for both people and the land; I know others on here could speak much more on this. Please platform indigenous voices)

HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS (get your neighbors to stop dumping fertilizers on their lawn next to lakes, reduce agricultural runoff)

OCEAN PLASTIC (it's not straws, it's mostly commercial fishing line/trawling equipment and microplastics)

A lot of these are interconnected. And of course not a complete list.

At the state and local level:

You probably have the most power to make change at the local level!

Support or volunteer at your local nature centers, local/state land conservancy non-profits (find out who owns&manages the preserves you like to hike at!), state fish & game dept/non-game program, local Audubon chapters (they do a LOT). Participate in a Christmas Bird Count!

Join local garden clubs, which install and maintain town plantings - encourage them to use NATIVE plants. Join a community garden!

Get your college campus or city/town certified in the Bee Campus USA/Bee City USA programs from the Xerces Society

Check out your state's official plant nursery, forest society, natural heritage program, anything that you could become a member of, get plants from, or volunteer at.

Volunteer to be part of your town's conservation commission, which makes decisions about land management and funding

Attend classes or volunteer with your land grant university's cooperative extension (including master gardener programs)

Literally any volunteer effort aimed at improving the local environment, whether that's picking up litter, pulling invasive plants, installing a local garden, planting trees in a city park, ANYTHING. make a positive change in your own sphere. learn the local issues affecting your nearby ecosystems. I guarantee some lake or river nearby is polluted

MAKE HABITAT IN YOUR COMMUNITY. Biggest thing you can do. Use plants native to your area in your yard or garden. Ditch your lawn. Don't use pesticides (including mosquito spraying, tick spraying, Roundup, etc). Don't use fertilizers that will run off into drinking water. Leave the leaves in your yard. Get your school/college to plant native gardens. Plant native trees (most trees planted in yards are not native). Remove invasive plants in your yard.

On this last point, HERE ARE EASY ONLINE RESOURCES TO FIND NATIVE PLANTS and LEARN ABOUT NATIVE GARDENING:

Xerces Society Pollinator Conservation Resource Center

Pollinator Pathway

Audubon Native Plant Finder

Homegrown National Park (and Doug Tallamy's other books)

National Wildlife Federation Native Plant Finder (clunky but somewhat helpful)

Heather Holm (for prairie/midwest/northeast)

MonarchGard w/ Benjamin Vogt (for prairie/midwest)

Native Plant Trust (northeast & mid-atlantic)

Grow Native Massachusetts (northeast)

Habitat Gardening in Central New York (northeast)

There are many more - I'm not familiar with resources for western states. Print books are your biggest friend. Happy to provide a list of those.

Lastly, you can help scientists monitor species using citizen science. Contribute to iNaturalist, eBird, Bumblebee Watch, or any number of more geographically or taxonomically targeted programs (for instance, our state has a butterfly census carried out by citizen volunteers).

In short? Get curious, get educated, get involved. Notice your local nature, find out how it's threatened, and find out who's working to protect it that you can help with. The health of the planet, including our resilience to climate change, is determined by small local efforts to maintain and restore habitat. That is how we survive this. When government funding won't come, when we're beat back at every turn trying to get policy changed, it comes down to each individual person creating a safe refuge for nature.

Thanks for reading this far. Please feel free to add your own credible resources and organizations.

Common Signs of Mini Cooper Timing Belt Failure: Professional Diagnosis and Repair Solutions

The timing belt plays a crucial role in keeping your Mini Cooper's engine running smoothly. It synchronizes the movement of the engine's camshaft and crankshaft, ensuring that the engine valves open and close at the correct times. However, like all parts, the timing belt wears down over time, and failure can lead to costly engine damage if not addressed promptly. Knowing the signs of a failing timing belt and seeking professional service can save you from a potentially disastrous situation.

Understanding the Importance of the Timing Belt

Before diving into the warning signs, it’s important to understand why the timing belt is so critical. In many Mini Coopers, this belt controls the coordination between the top and bottom halves of the engine. If the timing is off, even by a fraction of a second, the engine could misfire or suffer severe internal damage. This makes proper timing belt maintenance essential to the overall performance and longevity of your Mini Cooper.

Common Signs of Mini Cooper Timing Belt Failure

    Ticking Noise from the Engine One of the most common signs of a worn-out timing belt is a ticking or clicking noise coming from the engine. The belt connects various engine components, and as it wears out, it may slip or become loose, causing this distinct noise. This is often an early warning sign that the belt is deteriorating and may need to be replaced soon.

    Engine Misfires A timing belt that has stretched or is worn out can throw off the synchronization between the camshaft and crankshaft. This misalignment causes the engine to misfire, which can result in rough idling, decreased fuel efficiency, and poor overall performance. In some cases, prolonged misfires can cause significant internal engine damage, making early detection vital.

    Difficulty Starting the Car If your Mini Cooper struggles to start or cranks for an unusually long time, the timing belt could be the culprit. As the belt wears down, it may slip or fail to engage properly, preventing the engine from firing up correctly. While several issues can cause starting problems, a timing belt nearing the end of its life is a common factor in older Mini Coopers.

    Oil Leaks in the Engine Over time, the timing belt cover or the seal around it may deteriorate, leading to oil leaks. If you notice oil dripping from the front of the engine, it could be a sign that the timing belt components are wearing out. Oil leaks can accelerate the degradation of the belt, making immediate professional attention critical to avoid further damage.

    Excessive Exhaust Smoke If the timing belt is failing, it can cause the engine to burn fuel improperly, leading to excessive smoke coming from the exhaust. This is particularly noticeable when the engine is running at higher RPMs. While smoke from the exhaust can indicate various engine issues, it’s a red flag that you shouldn’t ignore if you suspect timing belt trouble.

Professional Diagnosis of Timing Belt Issues

If you suspect that your Mini Cooper’s timing belt is failing, it’s essential to seek professional diagnosis and service as soon as possible. A certified technician will begin by conducting a thorough inspection of the engine, paying close attention to the timing belt, pulleys, and surrounding components. They may also use diagnostic tools to check the alignment of the camshaft and crankshaft to confirm whether the belt is the source of the problem.

Timing Belt Replacement Services

When it comes to replacing a worn or failing timing belt, Mini Cooper owners should always rely on professional services to ensure precision and accuracy. Timing belt replacement is a complex procedure that involves the removal of several key engine components. It requires expert knowledge and specialized tools to ensure that everything is reinstalled and aligned perfectly. Skipping or delaying this service can lead to significant engine damage, potentially requiring a full engine rebuild.

Key Steps in a Timing Belt Replacement Service:

    Component Inspection: Before replacement, technicians will inspect related components like the water pump, tensioners, and pulleys, which may also need to be replaced during the service.

    Belt Removal and Replacement: The old belt is carefully removed, and the new one is installed with precise alignment between the camshaft and crankshaft.

    Engine Testing: After installation, the engine is tested to ensure proper timing and performance. Technicians will check for any additional issues that may have been caused by the worn-out belt.

Why Prompt Timing Belt Replacement is Essential

Failing to replace a worn or damaged timing belt can lead to severe consequences for your Mini Cooper's engine. In a worst-case scenario, the belt can break while driving, causing the pistons to collide with the engine valves, which can result in extensive engine damage. This can lead to costly repairs, including valve replacement or even a complete engine overhaul. Regular maintenance and timely replacement can prevent these catastrophic failures.

Conclusion

Recognizing the warning signs of timing belt failure is crucial for Mini Cooper owners. From ticking noises to engine misfires, these symptoms should never be ignored. A timely diagnosis and professional service can prevent significant engine damage and save you from costly repairs. If you notice any of the common signs of timing belt failure in your Mini Cooper, don't delay—seek expert diagnosis and replacement services to ensure your engine continues running smoothly and efficiently.

By staying proactive with timing belt maintenance, you’ll not only extend the life of your Mini Cooper but also enjoy better performance, improved fuel efficiency, and peace of mind on the road.

pornstar!nanami who has a signature style to his videos—all of which are solo content consisting of him, manspreading in front of the camera in an awfully expensive suit. as his hands trace the muscles of his thighs, the seams of his trousers, the outline of his hardened cock.

pornstar!nanami who always takes his time getting to the good stuff, his voice silken as he speaks to those watching him. praise falls from his lips, which are always just out of view—the man doesn't dare show his face. something about professionalism and all.

pornstar!nanami whose videos usually end with him cumming into his closed fist, or into a toy if he's feeling so inclined. as a long time viewer of him, you've come to learn a few things about how he orgasms—he always bucks his hips up, chasing that instinct to breed. he always moans like he's in heat just before his climax, but because he's not great with breathing through his orgasms he chokes up just as he falls over the edge—it's a pretty sound.

pornstar!nanami who sometimes gets messy with it—he's such an organised and ritualistic man in his day-to-day that he sometimes just wants to let loose. sometimes, he'll only pull his cock out of his pants through the fly, and let the world watch as his precum dribbles all over those pressed pants of his. oh and does he go feral knowing that he's dirtying something so expensive with the receipts of his lust. who will stroke himself to completion just to watch his cum stain the fabric he's worked so hard to afford—there's no explaining that away to a drycleaner.

pornstar!nanami who likes to imagine it's a pretty thing riding his thigh that wrecks his trousers. wonders how many of his viewers touch themselves to his videos, hoping the could take him for all he's worth as well.

pornstar!nanami who, after a particularly messy session one day, gets an email after uploading his video. it's not even been ten minutes, which was the length of his video, so he assumes whoever has emailed him came particularly fast to that one.

pornstar!nanami who was more than right in his assumption. because as his eyes rake over the email sent by an adoring fan, he sees about a million different typos that indicate nothing other than messy fingers and a fucked-dumb typist. in your barely legible email, you explain that Mr. Nanamis videos are tagged 'near-you', and you'd happily offer your services as the next sex toy he uses to fuck-and-film in exchange for an orgasm or three.

and oh is pornstar!nanami intrigued. because his life is a busy one, he's a businessman when the sun is up time is precious and human connection is a scheduling conflict—his videos aren't solo out of preference, poor nanami, the pornstar, is a virgin.

pornstar!nanami who, after a few weeks of back and forth and some genuine conversation, ends up with his camera flashing red as you sit naked on his lap. and oh are you happy with the sight of him, blonde and sculpted to perfection underneath those lovely suits of his. Your ass is on display to anyone watching, upper half out of shot as your teeth clash with his.

pornstar!nanami who can't help the sounds he makes when you grind against his clothed cock. your slick, your pooling lust, it smears over the fabric of his pants and leaves a gloss behind in turn. he's ravenous, holding onto your hips and grinding you down against him in all the right ways. who moans into your mouth, already a little pussydrunk and he's barely had a taste of you.

pornstar!nanami who hopes he isn't unseemly in the way he manhandles you to sit properly on his lap. he knows you're as desperate as he is, what with the way you slip your hands down to undo his belt and pull his cock free. your fingers wrapped around his length is enough of a narcotic to cum on the spot, though he steadies his reeling mind and holds out.

pornstar!nanami who offers to fuck you on his fingers first, to use his tongue to warm you up and get you ready for his, frankly overbearing, size. but you're insistent, eager, and lowering yourself onto his aching cock with a kiss to his lips and a sharp inhale shared between you.

pornstar!nanami who thanks whatever god may be out there for letting him film a glimpse of heaven.

pornstar!nanami who can barely keep himself together as you ride him like he's the toy at hand. he's sure he's never been this vocal for his viewers, moaning alone is a feat that is hot at best and hauntingly awkward at worst—this, though—he's never been so mindless. and you love it. all the videos you've watched where his voice is smooth and confident and he's the picture of put-together. having such a man, a gentleman like nanami, absolutely melting with each clench of your dripping pussy around his length? it's an aphrodisiac in itself.

and when you catch onto the fact that pornstar!nanami is about to cum—the bucking of his hips, those drawling moans, the hitch of his breath—you kiss him stupid, and then speak against his pretty swollen lips. 'breathe'

and oh does pornstar!nanami breathe. a desperate droning moan escapes his breath, right into your mouth as he empties himself inside of you like he's trying to give you his last name.

pornstar!nanami who can't help himself. flipping you over and onto your back, pressing you into the mattress as he continues to fuck into you. he's going to pull as many orgasms out of you as he can—it doesn't even register in his mind that, due to the new angle of your bodies, he's just let the world see his face, and the pretty pussy drunk blush that paints it pink.

"3,200 Girls, 1,000 Boys Are Needed to Fill Ontario Farm Camps," Toronto Star. June 12, 1943. Page 8. --- In Addition, Several Hundred Boys Can Be Placed Directly on Farms ---- VALUABLE VACATION ---- The summer camps are opening.

Not the camps for sluggards and Idlers or the guilded youth of cafe society if any are left. But camps in the fruit orchards, the tomate fields and the vineyards of Ontario where high school boys and girls college students and their teachers may help feed our allies and our fighting men.

And at the same time have a swell holiday. "Just a few lines to let you know that I have never en joyed a summer like I did this one: n thanks a million." wrote Lois Mitchell to Miss Jackson of the Ontario farm service force. Scores a of boys and girls who worked in the orchards last year are clamoring to go back. One group of girl veterans from Toronto has been r at a camp in the Grimsby district for a month: a number of Toronto boys, including Bill Ward and John Allen of U.T.S., have been working in the Leamington tomato fields for as long and Bill has written enthusiastically of the pleasure he gets from his work and from camp life.

Seven camps for girls are already operating in the fruit growing sections of the province while another 22 will be opened later by the Ontario Farm Service force. They need 3.200 girls to fill them. Five camps for high school boys are also in operation now, and a number of others are to be opened, requiring about 1,000 boys. In addition several hundred boys can be placed directly on farms. In positions that could not be filled by girls. "I wish to thank you for placing my son on a farm," wrote Mrs. J J. Rush of Mimico, "He had a wonderful summer, and the farmer and his wife made my boy one of their family and have asked him to go back next year."

Girls at Nixon Hall A large group of Toronto girls moved into a new camp at Nixon Hall, near Grimsby, on Monday. Among them are Jackie Donald. Pat Beatty, Audrey O'Brien, Betty Warner, Gwen Lewis, Jean Harri Edmison, and Norma Elaine Stevens.

They thought it was "grand." and some had even gone out with an of camps advance party to a couple to clean and and scrub them for the summer opening. Most of the girls at Nixon Hall are from socially prominent families, and only two or three have had previous farm camp experience.

At nearby Saltfleets, however, between Hamlton and Grimsby, s a group of veterans. Coming from many parts of Ontario, they include Doreen Marritt Hamilton, Audrey Bule and Mary Catharine Ives. Stayner, Ivy Field. Guelph. Bobbe Wilson, Napanee, and Dorothy Wellein, Kitchener. When their regular jobs were rained out a number of them took a "postman's holiday," and working in a plant nursery.

"Sure we like it," they chorused "We wouldn't he back if we didn't."

Senator E. D. Smith of Winona who employed about 30 girls from the Saltfleet force last summer planting and assisting with his nursery stock of fruit trees and vines, said he is "very well satisfied with their work.

"As a matter of fact," he added. "the girls are better workers than the boys."

The camp at Saltfleet and three others at Vineland, Fenwick and Kingsville are government operated, while the other three at Vineland. Jordan and Dixie are private camps. The 175 girls already there have been at work on fruit farms for some weeks, tying grapes. working in greenhouses, and per forming other seasonable tasks.

Vanguard of Great Army These girls, however, are merely the vanguard of a great army, mostly high school students on vacation who will undertake farm work throughout the summer, living in the 26 government and several private camps.

"The maximum demand will be between August 15 and October 15, when the fruit and vegetable harvesting will be at its height," said Alex McLaren, director of the Ontario farm service force. "The camps will be under supervision of the YWCA, with experienced camp staffs, and with ith recreational directors who will organize the leisure time activity of the girls."

Camps at St. David's, Riverview and Queenston will open about June 14, and there are vacancies in all three. Girls wishing to spend the summer holidays, particularly after August 15, in farm work camps should make their application at once to the Ontario farm service force, Parliament buildings, Toronto.

Five camps for high school boys, three operated by private farming interests and two by the Ontario department of agriculture, are already functioning with 200 boys occupying them. These are at Burlington, Leamington, Harrow, Brantford and Holland Marsh, and can accommodate 400 more boys who are urgently needed at once for essential farm work.

Other camps are planned. One of the largest will be at Essex, and 200 high school boys will be required to fill it. The requirements of the other camps are Leamington, 60 boys: Burlington, 20; Holland Marsh, 100; Blenheim, 50: Harrow, 50.

Farmers in these areas urgently need help now, and the boys who volunteer will be kept busy until after July 15. The camps are operated under YMCA supervision.

In addition individual farmers are anxious to secure husky lads for the entire holiday season. In many cases placement can be mde through the local farm help committee, or by applications direct to farmers in the neighborhood.

Boys who are unable to find farms through these channels can be readily placed by applying to the parliament buildings or to room 406, Toronto city hall.

Find Farmers Congenial The boys will find the farmers understanding and congenial. Robert Love, for instance, thanking Mr. McLaren for placing him on a farm, said he found his employers "a pleasant couple to work for."

"He didn't expect me to do man's work, even if he needed an experienced man," Robert said. "He set the maximum standard for an experienced boy."

Girls are paid 25 cents hours when working on an hourly basis but mostly they are on "piece work" being paid according to the number of baskets of fruit they pick for example. The piece work rate is set by the government.

Parents feel that their sons and daughter at farm camps or individual farms, are really doing something important, and are mighty proud of them. A Toronto mother with two daughters at a Niagara fruit camp and a farm last summer wrote to one of the girls

"I do think you are all doing a very sporting job and as I look around and see some other high school kids of your age or older just trotting around and having good time going to shows, etc. can't help but think that you he all measured up pretty well the summer. Congratulations. I don't think you will ever be sorry for having done this."

Farmers are equally appreciative and many like R. Y. MacLaren of Hensall have written to the Ontario farm service force express pleasure at the fine type of city and town boys sent them

The city council of St. Catharines, the metropolis of the fruit belt, has gone so far as to pass a special resolution of appreciation for the work done by the girls in Niagara fruit camp last summer, while Ann M. Cate, secretary of the Grimsby local committee declared "we feel that Grimsby camp has become indispensable to this district."

Need for Help Is Urgent The farmers are "up against it" this year more than ever before. Fruit and vegetable harvesting requires a lot of labor, and there isn't a lot of labor in Canada now. If the fruit so urgently needed to carry us through the winter is to be harverted then every boy and girl physically able to do farm work should do so.

You will not find the work over taxing and parents need not fear the labor is too hard for growing boys and girls. Farm work today isn't like it was in the days of our parents or grandparents. The camps are well supervised by the Y.W.CA and Y.M.C.A, who make sure the young people get enough rest and healthy recreation

In addition to the camps for students, Mr. McLaren announced three camps for women school teachers at Blenheim and Extension to be opened July 10 and operate six weeks. From 125 to 150 teachers are needed, during that period, to de-tassel corn, work that is not arduous.

You probably never beard of de-tasseling corn. Neither did anybody else until recently. But Ontario farmers now grow a kind of hybrid corn in which the ancestry of the seed must be carefully cherished. During blossom period the tassel, which is the stamen of the corn flower, must be removed to prevent re-pollination.

"Farm Commando Brigade" Men and women with full time jobs in the city, may serve on the food front by joining the Farm Commando Brigade, made up of persons who can spare only a few hours an evening, or a day a week. They will be provided transportation to nearby farms for whatever work they can volunteer. They are asked also to give all or part of their summer holidays to farm work. Farm commando headquarters at room 203, Toronto city hall, can assign volunteers to farms.
