A SMILE OR TWO Temptation may be strong, but it seldom overtakes the man who runs from it. They were spending their hon- eymoon at a large,' fashionable ho- tel. Wifey got off at the wrong floor;'found dhat she thought was her room and, the door being op- en, walked in. Hubby was nowhere in sight, so she tried the knob on the bath- room door. It was locked. She called: "Honey, oh Honey, are you in there?" "Listen, madam," answered a sarcastic voice, "this is a bath- room, not a beehive." • SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1961 - Up To Ferybody, C of C. Says Clean -Up Challenges Everybody in the Famil SECOND SECTION, ages 11-] • You may think the cost of clean- ing -up, fixing -up and decorating your home during Seaforth's Cle 2n-' Up, Paint -Up program may be too high. But do you realize that a small outlay of time and money will actually pay you large divi- dends? That is what the Chamber of Commerce believes, as it pushes its spring campaign to tidy up Sea - forth. Hog Selling System Now In Operation With remarkable smoothness and speed, after a brief period of adjustment, 24,361 hogs were sold on Monday and Tuesday of last week through the new electronic system of the Ontario Hog Pro- ducers' Co-operative. Combined with telephone sell- ing in the case of the smaller packers' who can't afford the cost of teletype installations, the new communications system transmits market offerings in a matter of seconds, allows the packers to re- cord their bids• -at the OHPC con- trol centre and eliminates the pos- sibility of identical bids. No pro- spective buyer knows what his competitors are bidding, and the highest recorded bid automatical- ly locks the circuit. During the first two days 'of op- eration last week, hogs were sold from 45 OHPC terminals across Ontario. -Prices ranged . from a low of $25.05 to a high of $27.10. All sales, including those made by telephone, are recorded on a mas- ter sheet for future reference. "So far, so good," Eldred Aiken, chairman of the ,Hog Board, said follwing the trial. "Technically speaking, the system evolved by the Bell Telephone Company seems quite efficient. 11 t e D C MIA F;,VIb�)il�1�;}N� ,i�'�rulih'i4� ar en - Foiling the Marauders Bugs and disease are not the only enemies the gardener may have to guard against. Sometimes there are flocks .of birds and con- centrated attacks by rabbits, ground hogs, coons or deer. But the smart gardener can easily out- wit all of these as well as most bugs and diseases. Treatment for the Iast named will be left for another article. To scare birds there are ail sorts of fluttering things that shine in the sun and spin on wires or strings. There are also scarecrows and even shotguns. We can also plant special fruit and nut trees that the birds will prefer to the garden and will give us hours of pleasure watching them eat. For the rabbits, some people surround the vegetable garden with a row of glass bottles, with no tops and standing firm in just an inch or so of soil. The wind blowing across the open tops makes a noise that alarms the rabbits or so it is said. For ground hogs, coons and -deer, sometimes an electric fence will be necessary and it will also keep out the rabbits. In some cases, as with coons, however, the fence may have to include a foot or two of poultry netting reach- ing right down and into the soil, and the electric fence wire on insulators on top. With, a little care, a battery will last several years. Where Hardiness Is Important If we live in one of the cooler Seaforth Native Warns of Sunburn (Dr. Rogers is a grandson of Thomas Stephens, pioneer owner • of the Queen's Hotel here. His father was Dr. G. F. Rogers, a former principal of the Seaforth Collegiate Institute and later depu- ty minister of education for On- tario. On a recent trip to Phoenix, Arizona, Miss Helen McKercher, McKillop, And Mis K. Stapleton, Dublin, met Dr. Rogers, who re - o called he had last visited Seaforth in 1954). By George K. Rogers, M.D. Phoenix Many doctors in the Southwest are asked by their patients, "Is the sun good for me?" Dermatolog- ically speaking the answer is "No." Exception to this categorical an- • swer can be seen in certain types of skin disorders such as psoriasis and allergic eczemas which in some people respond to sunshine. This is not one hundred per cent true however, since some such cases are aggravated or even pre- cipitated by actinic radiation. For • the most part therefore the physi- cian can well advise his patients against excessive sunshine. Many people come to the South- west for the express purpose of absorbing the sun's rays and un- doubtedly help is obtained in cas- es of arthritis and various internal • disorders. Ft'ofn the standpoint of the skin itself however, which must bean -the brunt of the rays, a word of caution is in order. • One might divide the resultO of excessive sunshine into two head- ings, acute and chronic. It is sur- prising but true that the derma-• tologist sees more of acute sun • poisoning in the Southwest dur- ing the winter months than in the summer, winter visitors usually be- ing the victims, In summer it is far too hot for even the most rabid sun -fan to expose himself to sunshine for any length of time. Winter visitors come to the South- west for a short stay and natural- ly wish to absorb as much sun as possible, not only because they feel it healthful but no doubt they wish to take back home with them visible evidence of a winter vaca- tion in the land of sunshine. The skin of these people is unaccus- tomed to excessive light rays and sudden exposure may result in one of several varieties of eruptions. The first is easily recognizable as .an acute sunburn or as it is call- ed, dermatitis solare. The results are all variations from a mild red- ness to actual blistering of the skin. A second, less recognizable result is that of a red papular eruption, ill defined and usually not evenly distributed on the ex- posed areas. This form of der- matitis solare can be considered an allergice reaction to excessive sunshine and can occur even after the individual has been exposed for many days and is in the throes of developing a beautiful sun tan. To make these cases all the more con- fusing they frequently develop an auto -sensitization dermatitis where- in the eruption no longer confines itself to the face, neck, arms and legs, but spreads over the entire body, producing a generalized erythematous papular eruption which may take weeks to respond to treatment. A third acute reac- tion from sunshine can result in the flare-up of certain skin dis- eases as those previously men- tioned and including such a po- tentially dangerous disease as Iupus erythematosus. Chronic results of actinic radia- tion include, tanning of the skin, freckles or lentigines, scaly pig-; mented spots, called keratoses, and at long range, cancer of the skin. Thus chronic exposure to sunshine can result in what is known as "Farmer's and Sailor's skin." Tanning of the skin is de- sirable to some people and those who tan evenly have a skin which can tolerate a lot of sunshine with a minimum amount of damage. Remember, however, that tanning is just nature's method of protect- ing the skin and underlying struc- tures from excessive sunshine damage. We see this phenomenon in nature where light complexion- ed Scandinavians have little pig- ment of the skin. On approaching the equator one sees the Arab with more pigmentation and finally the Negro with excessive pigmentation, nature thus creating a protective layer of pigment against tropical sunshine. For this reason, we sel- dom see freckles or keratoses in colored people, fewer of these le- sions are seen in dark skinned peo- ple and most, in fair skinned in- dividuals. Freckling is another attempt by nature to protect the skin, but in these people because of inherited tendencies, the skin does not tend to tan evenly, only in spots, re- sulting in the so called freckle. This type of individual should not unduly expose himself to sunshine. People who neither tan nor freckle, but- burn; should of course, like- wise avoid sunshine. The develop- ment of keratoses, those irregular brown, yellow or red spots which later develop crusts and scales is the result of chronic exposure. While these lesions may remain more or less stationary, many be- come thickened and in spite of numerous ointments, which tem- porarily smooth the lesions, they may undergo malignant degenera- tion resulting in definite skin can- cer. Some people are rarely ex- posed to the sun and yet develop keratoses and skin cancer, while others out of doors most of the time may be immune. The answer lies not only in chronic sunshine but also in inherited types of skin, and the age factor. The older we become, the greater the tendency to keratoses and skin cancer, thus as age results in a drying of the skin, so does sunshine, one there- fore aids the other. It is therefore obvious that excessive sun ages the skin before its time. Parents should not put halters on babies or young children and leave them exposed to the sunshine with the mistaken idea that it is good for the child. While we are young we can toler- ate a great deal of sunshine with- out ill effects but bear in mind that the day will come when the adverse results will make them- selves manifest. Just as the sun will dry out the skin, it will do likewise to the scalp and hair. While a moderate amount of sunshine will not hurt the hair, excessive doses are not conducive -to a healthy scalp. In this respect, it is an interesting observation that people with heal- thy heads of hair seldom prespire from the scalp even on hot days, the hair acting as an insulation whereas, most thin -haired or bald headed individuals prespire pro- fusely from the scalp in hot wea- ther. One can generally advise one's patients therefore that if they are 'brunettes and tend to tan evenly, a certain amount of sunshine is harmless, but in blonde individuals with a tendency to freckle or burn, the far reaching effects of the sun are bad. Cosmetics of all kinds are helpful in the prevention of chronic actinic dermatoses which areas of Canada, where there is danger of some frost until the first of June, and again in early September, then we should select vegetables and flowers that will matture or bloom fairly quickly, early varieties than can be, sown or planted after the last week in May and will still have time to make their proper growth. 'The 1961 seed catalogue will give us this information, will tell us exactly what length of growing season is required. But it will give much more information than that. It will tell us how high and wide a certain flower will grow so we will know where to plant it in the bed, so that it will not hide other smaller things or be hidden. by something bigger. It will tell us too, about the kind of soil this particular flower or vegetable real- ly prefers. Some like it heavy, some light, some thrive in sun and some must have shade. Some re- quire a lot of water, some don't. Colors of flowers are important as we do not want them clash- ing. Breaking the Slope Split levels have always been popular in gardening. Where the ground slopes considerably, one should make the larger lawn and grounds. generally conform rather than trying to grade • the whole thing artificially to one level. The simplest and perhaps most inter- esting treatment is to have an upper and a lower lawn, joining the two with a bit of stone wall or a strip of rock garden. Through• both the wall or rock garden of course there will be a series of steps in stone, brick or cedar tim- bers. Another way would be to have shrubbery on the slope join- ing the two levels. Where these slopes are any size it is well to remember that unless anchored with rocks, or shrubs, or creeping vines, heavy rains will invariably wash out the soil and make a mess of things. An Herg Garden Practically all the common herbs can be grown in the Cana- dian garden and usually in the poorest part of it provided it gets full sun. Grown as annuals, unless they are taken in for the winter, bre rosemary, tarragon and sweet marporam and dill. Truly peren- nial are thyme, sage, chices, the mints (apple, orange, peppermint and spearmint) and lovage. Pars- ley is perennial, but the finest fla- vor comes from plants that are started every season. Soak the seed overnight to hasten germina- tion. Does It Like Canada? The Canadian gardener is well advised to make sure that all the flower and vegetable seed used comes from a Canadian source. Not because this may be consid- ered patriotic, but because only such seed has been especially se- lected and tested for the Cana- dian climate and conditions. A flower or a vegetable that may, give excellent results in England, or Virginia, or Ireland, may well find Canada much too rugged for its taste. is why men show more damage to the skin than wotnen. If your pa- tient insists- on sunshine, there are several very excellent sun protec- tive oils and creams on the mar- ket which if used will in the long run keep their skin looking thirty when they are really forty-five. There just is no doubt about such a campaign paying dividends, C of C president Bruce MacMil- lan says, in a statement issued in connection with the event. "A house and yard that have been thoroughly cleaned, repair- ed and planted will give you add- ed realty value should you wish to sell. Clean premises will con- siderably reduce the chance that you will ever stand over a rabble of what was once your home and your cherished possessions,gut- ted by fire. "There will be fewer chances of accident to toddlers and elderly persons since you will have fol- lowed Clean -Up safety suggestions. "Your children will learn the thrill of working together for a common goal, and you will have increased enjoyment from living in clean, attractive surroundings." Mr. MacMillan urged full co-op- eration so that the campaign would produce maximum bene- fits. Seaforth merchants, realizing the benefits of a clean-up program„ are co-operating in a special sec- tion that appears at pages 12 and 13 of this issue. It has been necessary to post- pone the annual Lions paper drive which usually takes place at this time. Officials said the delay oc- curred because of difficulty in dis- posing of paper. It is hoped mar- kets will be available later, and the drive will take place .at that time, Carrion Rowcliffe, Lions Club president, said. Knots in pine logs are almost imperishable, decaying much less rapidly than the log itself. The whole family has an opportunity to take part in the Clean -Up, Paint -Up Campaign.
