DEAN, M.D. MEDITORIAL: The one form of "treatment" that may go a long way towards preventing a heart attack that in most in- stances costs, little or nothing, and can also be a lot of fun—is exercise. In talking to most middle- aged family men, I am stunned by the frequency of complaints on how good they used to feel when they were in shape. Why don't more sedentary men get more exercise when they know 'it's good for them? I presume the answer to this is the mech- anized society in which we are now living. It is too easy to avoid exerting oneself and we fall 'into a rut. Television, of course, hasn't helped. The main reason, we are so concerned is because of an in- creasing amount of evidence that a lack of exercise adds to the possibility of heart trouble. Sedentary persons have more cholestrol in their blood; the fat in their blood after eating tends to remain for longer periods; the ease of clot formation• is in- creased; and they have more heart attacks. This is not ab- solute proof that lack of exer- cise is bad for the heart, but it is highly suggestive. Exercise is so simple and cheap it hardly seems worth prescribing; possibly this is one reason we don't take it serious- ly. If you lead a sedentary life and your doctor has advised more exercise, don't take him lightly. This may be the most important bit of advice be has given you. The prescription will often do much more good than a hundred kinds of pill's. The Earl of Derby said in 1873, "those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness."

The court of re- vision, if necessary, was set for August 7. Tenders are to be called for the work, with the tenders to be in by August 7. All accounts for the Wash- burn drain project were order- ed paid and an application was made for grant under the pro- visions of the Provincial Aid to Drainage Act. An application was also filed for a grant for the Pym Drain. The road superintendent re- ported that weed spraying was compQeted in good time, and the Easton bridge was well pro- gressed. The road accounts, tot- alling $1,519.56 were passed for payment. A by-law was passed for appropriating $15,000 to com- plete the construction of the Easton bridge, and the by-law was sent to the Department of #' Highways for approval. Receipts of $328.17 from the road superintendent was report- ed by treasurer N. G. Clarke, and other receipts amounting to $3,871.74. Reports on four municipal drains were filed by C. P. Cor- bett and Co, on the Winchelsea, Clarke, Brock Creek branch A, and Brock Creek, branch 2 ex- tension.

After giving weight to the fact that few tiling mach- ine d- ine operators are willing do municipal work and the fact that this is their slack season, council decided to let the con- tractor proceed at his conven- ience. Council Studied the final draft of the budget. Estimates of ex- penditures for all purpose hi 1961, including a share of the new fire truck, $6,144, the total expected is $191,000.

HURON FEVIAT1O:N NEWs By CARL 11MIHGWAY an pride; This ehould be attrac- Huron County Federatlen Of Agriculture held their annual worship service at the Salvation Army Camp, near Bayfield, on Sunday, June 25. In spite of unfavourable weather there was a good crowd. The federation appreciates•khe kind reception extended by the Salvation Army at their attrac- tive camp and also for the fine leadership in the music by Capt. Newman and the Wingham Sal- vation Army Band. Rev. E. VonKietz, of the Bap- tist Church, Goderich, brought us an inspiring address, "Wheat and Tares". Just as the good grain is growing to maturity, so do organizations, and farm organizations are no exception, difficulty in overcoming ob- stacles t a : r- strewn in their path. Just as the farmer in the parable found that an enemy had sown weeds in his grain field, so do we find that there are those who will sow suspicion and distrust in any gorup. There is little that can be done to uproot the weeds lest the good grain is ruined, but at harvest time the separation is made. "What does God require of us but to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God? The Lord will take care of the harvest." Now for a few comments on the Federal Budget. The signifi- cant part for farmers seems to be the drop in the Canadian dollar. Since we are exporters of agricultural products, the world market to a large degree controls our price at home. Since the price of wheat jump- ed five cents a bushel and stocks and bonds reacted violently the next day, I expected that beef prices also would move upward didn't. Why? We have been ex- porting xporting a small quantity of beef to the U.S. The drop in the ex- change rate is equal to a five per cent increase in the Ameri- Live to. Canadian exporters and U.S. imparters. Does this mean that Canadian exporters are not interested in selling beef abroad if it is going to increase the price to beef is producer$ in Canada? If this true, itis unfortunate that Can- adian farmers cannot move into this field of sell their product m to the best advantage. Unless there is an Increase in livestock prices due to the low- ering of the Canadian dollar, farmers will be worse off. than before. Farm machinery and equipment prices are largely controlled by the price of im- ports. The lowering of the dol- lar will mean an increase in price of 5 per cent. There is little hope that the machinery produced in Canada will fail to go up accordingly. The only real gain was the equal tariff granted to the poul- try and broiler industries. This bas been fought for by these organizations for many years, and it is a credit to their per- severence. They deserve your support.

From 1770 to 1775 Ethan Al- len was colonel of the Green Mountain Boys, an irregular force that was formed in his home state` of Vermont at the time when control of Vermont was in dispute between New York and New Hampshire. Al- len had served with the British during the Seven Years' War but in 1775,• after the outbreak of the American Revolution, he and Benedict Arnold captured Ticonderoga from the British. Later that year, however, was captured during an unsuc- cessful attack ori Montreal and remained a prisoner until an exchange was effected two years later. In 1780 Allen took part in negotiations intended to bring Vermont, which had not yet joined the Union as a state, under the British flag. The ne- gotiations failed. It is felt that his real purpose may have been tc 'force the United States to take firm control of the area. He died in Burlington, Vt., in 1789.
