THE 'MODERN -WAY TO SHOP.
THE TREND to Friday night shopping, in °
place of the traditional Saturday, has continued
to citeh on with mor
e and more municipalities:
throughout
the country,
Among the first to- try out the new time
for night shoppping were the shopping centres.
;located in ;most cases just outside city limits.
Hidebound by out -dated 'by-laws in their own.
municipalities, city merchants found 'their trade
leaving them in huge numbers asthe modern
shopper found, he could lauy at night.
Gradually changes have been' taking place
in cities, and n ev�some 'towns have taken over
the new idea. St. Marys has been shopping
Friday night for several years,.
It was in . the spring of 1955 that some
grocery stores in Clinton, began the .new opening
hours, They were found good. The news spread.'
People were buying or.- Friday night in Clinton.
And so, the, next spring, in the face of
strong dissention and argument, some sturdy
souls, in' fact quite a few among the merchants
of Clinton went for the Friday night opening
t deal, ' it was attractive, in that at long last
the merchant. and his help could ,get atv'ay for'
• a summer weekend Saturday at six instead of,
Sunday tnonnifiig, It gave them a chance at new
emancipation. They had practically achieved a
weekend worthy of the name, .even though they
were far from the long weekend, now enjoyed
by factory workers, school teachers, etc. -.
Clinton was the first town in Huronto take
the step to Friday night open: hours, and as
such, has had quite a stormy session of it. All
the street cornier lawyers had something they
could get,their teeth ipto end did so, mightily
enjoying the discomfiture of the merchants
they were needling. Great ruznortis spread, that
everyone Was going to Gederich to shop, pr to
Exeter,or upto Seaforth, because they could

shop on Saturday nights, •
Even when "the merchants could look into
their cash, registers and count snore dollar bill `t

Were influenced by the street corner lawyers to
sortie degree, and a number of theme gave in.
The result was that some stayed open—some
closed—some announced what they were going
to; do --and others stayed "mum", The answer
was Chaos.
1957 is another year, however. Goderich
has already indicated that they are planning tcee,
stay open Friday nights, not Saturday In tem -
tele this week a meeting of 40 merchants from
pointe as far distant as Lucan and Seaforth.
Aita vote taken there, 30 of them were in favour
, Of Friday night, and only ten stuck with Satur-
day. Of course decisions still have to he reached
In each individual municipality.
Clinton is again announcing a Friday night
opening date;,.They're sticking with the idea, be-
cause it suits, the ,most people. It suits the
merchants and their employees•, and it also suits'
the shopper, .as cash' register reeeipts Show, -
A PLACE TO WALK
WHEN LAST WEEK -we published an edit
°oriel entitled "Safety on our Streets", . we ended
with the words, "Nothing •should, be allowed. to'
'come in the ',way of this proposed action".
Since then we've;:had reason. to consider
what exactlymight come in" the 'way: •
The proposed action 'was •- that of building
up Princess Street .at, the gully next to the
Collegiate property, and installing sidewalks so
that pedestrians might have a place to walk.
Sidewalks, •you see, come under a d12ferent
heading than do streets. Building and upkeep
- of streets ,are the . responsibility of the town.
But sidewalks are put in under .the Local Im-
provement Act: which ineans • that a part of
• their cast is borne by the property owner past
Whom the sidewalk goes. It'generaily runs about
30- percent of the cost, we. understand. •
Now, over. the Princess . Street gully,- it is
the towns. job to ,build; the ,street, and quite •
probably the sidewalksas well,. for we doubt
•
' that anyone claims Ownership tt, the gully -itself:
But the approaches to and away from the
gully, are certainly not the responsibility of the•
town=except in part,
!' Any sidewalks built .on either side of Prin-
cess Street; where noneeltovv exist, would have
to be, under thee Local Improvement Act, 're-
quested ,by the owners along the street, and a
art of the cost of these sidewal s would, be
A k. h w'
• assessed to them. •
This sanie regulation holds true in other
sections of town where sidewalks' are needed.
The property holders past whom the walk goes,
must share in the cost of laying the walk. -
This is one 'thing which we . can see might
come in the way of, putting in sidewalks along
Prin6ess Street. For a patch of walk across
the gully only, would only halt solve• the problem.
This however, would be better •than, nothing.
Certainly a built-up. street with a shoulder on
which .pedestrians could .walk would be a safer
thing - then the -gully as it is now. ,
BIG BUSINESS
few of the 'unthinking fariners still insist
on grumbling under their -breaths about those
"high•liaid men at the top".,-• But most of them—
all who. know about business- accept the fact'
'quite:. c+v'illingly, that at some point 'along the
ONE THING that has come about as the
:result Of farnteA: organizing and meeting arid
studying together, : and that is that more and
more rural folk are . beginning to believe: what
the"y are being told -namely, that -farthing is
big business.. •,
It takes a considerable_. length of "time for
a chap who is used to thinking in terms of ten
doze/Items; 100 gallons of milk; ten 'acres. of
oats; eight milking cows, etc., to be .able\to
' cope with thetetalled number's of-eachof these,
in terms of, provincial production instead of unit
farm producer -
It's the same 'with any type off• - work, If
Stou allow yourself to live too much 'unto your-
self without due thought to those around you,
even in the same kind; of business, then you are
not aware of the potentials of the industry in
which you are taking part.
Along with this growth of awareness among
farm people, there conies an acceptance 02 the
need for higher costs with regard to some aspects
of conducting their businesses. On a provincial
basis, the men Whom they ,hire to do their
marketing, and to do their managin3, must be
men of high calibre .and of considerable expo -
To get these men to work for -them,
rather' than for another industry, a salary in
some way competitive with these other Indust-
ries must be paid.,
•
'line, if marketing farm;Products is going to im-
prove, somebody's going to be paid to get the
job. done.
For instance, consider Charles McInnis,
president of the Ontario Hog Producers Assc-
iation and Co-operative.., There's a man who has
a twelve -mo nth .a year job, seven days a week--
and lie's not getting Be• much pay as a beginning
High School teacher in our county schools.
Luckily for the farmers, he likes his job,
fpr he says; "We're not in this' organization for.
money, it's- a cause. I'm glad to work for the
hog producers."
Apparently some directors of the iiog pro-
ducers association felt that he needed a boost
in pay, an honoraritm or a trip of some sort in
appreciation of the v rk Mr. McInnis has done.
But Mr..,Mcinnis refused.
That's the kind • of man that's few and far'
between, and the producers are well advised to
keep held 'of him and all others like him that
they have on their payrolls,
` - For the business ;.bf farming is big business,
indeed, and needs every bit of information and
dedication from its employees as it can possibly'
• get.
TRULY CANADIAN
NATIONAL WILD LIFE WEEK, in Canada
;rani April' 7 to , April 13,, was originated in
;memory of the late Jack Miner. Created by a

Week is dedicated to one purpose for this gen-

It is not a week to stimulate public interest
to buy sone shelfewern merchandise, but is a
week when everyone is asked to turn their
minds and attention to the 'conservation not

The week of April 10th was chosen because
it was the birthday of the late Sack 1VLiner,' Thais

ing situktipre in .Huron.
But to those who have lived for'.

We do or,should .agree with him
that we are living on a gold mine:
Truly this is a beautiful land, per- l
haps the most desirable place in
the world to live and we .ehould

But has Mr, 'Kingsbury looked l

This is my advice to young men

The Bible To.day. .
At Tangier,' as elsewhere, the
Book of a Thousand Tongues con-
•tinues to speak to the nations.
A queer twist was found there
the other day in: connection with
its distribution, The Bible Society's
booth was opened personally by
the "•Mendoub" , • the Sultan's of.
ficial_ representative. • He 'showed
interest. in the books, in .Arabic,
picked '`up a portion irr Moroccan
Colloquial and examined a Bible in
the classical'lan•guage.'
To sell the Scriptures in such
places requires a good 'Variety of
Bibles, Testaments and portions
as well es a niultilingual team of
workers.' Local missionaries of dif-
ferent 'denominations who could
read and speak a number of ,sang-
uages assisted.
People of all nations passed by.
Copies were sold in Spanish, Eng-
lish,. French, Arabic, Italian, Hun-
garian, Czech and even one in
Amharic was bought by a Moroc-
can professor who had studied
Semitic •languages for 16 years in
Prague.
A young Arab looked at the
books, and indicating one of the
Gospels said, "It is a year since 1
received that into my heart." A
tiny Arab- girl stood for awhile
