Huron County's Objective $10,060 For The Blind
PERHAPS there is no better 'indication of
the prosperity of a district than its welfare
buildings. This does not require that the. build-
ings housing the welfare services of a com-
munity he elaborate, out the prosperous, well-.
establisied community usually sees to it that
they have dignity, are adequate to their pur-
pose, and are, designed for the greatest pos-
sible usefulness over a period of years.
It is such considerations that The Canadian
National Institute for the Blind has had in
Mind in planning the new Western Ontario
Home and Service Centre • for the Blind, in
London. The ground floor will accommodate
occupational shops and training rooms; the
second floor will be for offices and lounges,
and the third floor for bedrooms.. It will pro-
vide a comfortable home for 35 residents.
"* The NEWS-RECORD feels confident that
their generous fellow citizens will respond to
the appeal of the blind of the district and pro-
vide them with the $150;000 necessary to erect
the building so urgently needed, if they are to
realize the independence and normal living that
is the purpose of their training,
The campaign is now under way and con-
tinues until February 1G, with an objective of
$10,000 for Huron County, half of which is
oeing provided ley..the County Council. -

THANKED FOR
CO-OPERATION
Mr. R. S. Atkey,
The Clinton News-Record;
Clinton, Ontario'
Dear Mr. Atkey:
Another year has passed and
again we wish to thank you and
the staff of the Clinton News-
Record for your splendid co-op-
eration in presenting Salada ad-
vertising to the public.
This year marks our 60th an-
niversary which , is almost like
saying the 60th- year we have
used the ,newspapers of Canada
for we went into the papers very
soon after we started marketing
our tea,
From the outset we had two
basic ideas, the first was to, give
the finest quality of tea we could
and the second to advertise it as
widely as our purse would per-
mit, and the years have vindicat-
ed the policy.
The latest proof of this is the
new building we are erecting in
the Town of Mount Royal, Que-
bec, with a floor space of 125,000
square feet. It will he one of
the most modern tea buildings
in the world with the whole pro-
cess of blending, packing and
shipping carried out on one floor.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge
once again the fine and courteous
co-operation we have had from
the newspapers.
Yours very truly,
(Siened)—R. K. BYTHELL,

.40 YEARS AGO
M.*
PERSONNEL EMPLOYED by the Division
of Reforestation are approached frequently by
people who are interested in reforesting some
part of their land which for years has lain
idle. The story is usually the same—a part
of the farm which for various reasons could
not produce in proportion to labour expended.
These -pockets of land usually range in size
from a fraction of an acre to those of several
acres.
It is unfortunate that these pockets of land
were stripped of forest cover originally, and
that it was necessary to find out the hard way
that such land would prove unsuitable for ag-
ricultural purposes. In addition to sub-marginal
land, are the odd pieces which become detached
from large fields as a result of local improve-
ments such as roads, ditches, or railways
It is highly advantageous to have all such
(By R. J. DEACHMAN,
FROM TIME TO TIME, there crop up in'
our papers and magazines, 'expressions of re-
gret that boys born on the farm, move into
the cities and the place which once
,
knew them
now knows them no more. Many of the chaps
who write these stories were born on the
farm. Some of them, as they write their
prophecies of the nation's downfall, shed a tear
for the old farm but wouldn't go back to it—.
not for anything in the world.
The Pioneers
Throw sentiment to the winds, Let us
examine the facts. This country was populated
first by the early French settlers. Then came
the Anglo-Saxon group: Scotland—put that first
on the list, my mother came from there—then
the English and Irish, They had been brought
up where land was scarce and dear, where
the landlord, rather than the man of millions,
was the man of power and destiny. It was
only natural that they should turn to farming
in the new world. They are the real pioneers—
the landlords in Canada were relatively, un-
important. The life of the pioneer Was hard
and stern, He lacked modern equipment of
the kind we now possess. With crude tools
he cleared the land, It was a difficult task.
If yoti doubt that statement find a big green
Stump, fresh-cut, then try digging it out by
the roots.
Huge stones were removed by piling on
top of them a load of old knots and limbs from
the bush. They split the stones with tire,
then carted them away. The work was arduous.
They had little time for leisure. It 'took the
youth and spirit out of the pioneers. They
were old at fifty and the next generation—the
youth of those days—made up their minds to
leave the farm, get Into the city, It meant
lighter work and it was closer to educational
facilities for the coming generation. They
would find or make a job for themselves, They
grew older but their sons and daughters did
not go back to the farm—they knew their
history; they built the cities,
The Farm Revolution
Came the change! The grain cradle is no
more. It appears only in museums—the farm`
is a new place, modem machinery enables one
man to do the work of many but hirel help
is harder to get. The movement from the
faruf to the, city seems to have tapered off a
bit. The return movement is not making great
pockets of land reforested, as each can con-
tribute to the eventual goals which a „policy
"of reforestation 'seeks to attain. Each acre or
fraction of an acre reforested means that we
are that much closer to having a more favour-
able balance between agricultural lands and
forested land.
Recognizing the importance of having the
co-opefation of as many as possible in this
very broad scheme of reforestation, the De-
partment of Lands and Forests provides the
services of qualified personnel and trees, both
lee of charge. Upon request, your Zone For-
ester will discuss any reforestation problem,
and make application for trees.
Do not hesitate to do something about those
idle pockets of land. The sooner they can be
reforested, the sooner they can once again be-
ceme a productive and worthwhile part of our
country.
ex-MP for North Huron)
progress but there is every reason to, believe
that it may take place.
Countervailing forces are at work. The
cost of living has increased. Wage rates are
high in the cities but the thoughtful may won--
der if the new rates will hold. In the past
wars have led to depressions and though some
seem to think that we can now control the
business cycle and that there will be no de-
pression there are others who hold divergent
points of view. When wages are raised, prices
go up. Labor receives today approximately
the same percentage of the product produced
as it received sixty years ago. True its capacity
to produce, thanks to improved machinery,
gives to the worker a higher earning power.
This is, in part at least, offset by the high cost
of living. The Worker in the city, while he
may have a so-called higher standard of liv-
ing soon finds that it adds little to the joy
of life.
The New World
What of the future? The population of
our cities is growing rapidly. Congestionetends
to increase the cost of living, lessens the com-
forts of normal existence. The man on the
farm normally owns his own home, grows his
own food, his cost of living is lower. The
costs of tlie products he consumes reflects a
wholesale not a retail price. The automobile
has removed the feeling of farm isolation. There
is still the old fear of a drop in the price of
farm products but the danger is not so pressing
as it has been.
If the world can maintain peace there will
be a period of expanding business: Consider
for instance the different continents of the
world. Europe at present devotes her main
efforts to maintenance of a high level of mili-
tary expansion. It is a tough deal. No single
European, nation can escape that burden,
'Asia is in a turmoil of revolution or re-
volt at conditions which exist, Africa lacks
capital, the great bulk of the people are un-
educhted. The picture is one of uncertainty.
In these countries, here and there, is the threat
of war, The result is that, so far as we are
concerned, the Boundaries of the world are
restricted. This too will pass. War and the
threat of war may arrest for a time the march
of human progress but there comes a day when
our sense of direction alters, Humanity Once
more is on the march,
