" CLOTHES MAKE THE ' MAN. c NO ONE WILL. DISPUTE the fact that "clothes make the man", at least to, the degree that they make the first impression which very often - influences an acquaintance to form an. opinion of good or "bad, In just that way, first impressions of farm properties are made,, and, in many cases are last- ing. Elveryo4e knows 'af a particular mile and a quarter, or *`line", or side -road, which looks particularly bad, or is particularly beautiful. Somehow in: towns and cities, "there is more incentive to 'the property holder to keep up his. ;place with: paint, etc.; perhaps because homes are So close' together that what one's neighbour does is very important, But the. same spirit could do our ' country homes a great. deal of good. . We notice that, in Carleton County the Federation of Agriculture is carrying out a pro- gram aimed at encaur�aging fanms�tead' improve- ment. They are holding a "farm entrance" com- petition, Iii; each township the contest will be carried out, each to have ten 'or more entries. Every farmer or gardener in the County may enter. No entry fee, but a dated snapshot oB the farm entrance must accompany entries. The contest lasts from August 1, to August '1, 1958. Two inspections will be made, one this August, and another after the. contest is closed. Possible paints .are 500, made up of 200 for condition of roadway or Iane; 100 ;for type of entrance; 50 for condition: of mailbox; 50 for use of suitable farm name and 100ofor general appearance. This 'sounds: like a really good type of com- petition, and we rather • hope that it can be taken. up in Huron County. Certainly there is hardly any farm' home which would,. nort benefitt ...by the sprucing , up which would take place through entry in such a contest.. WHAT'S A BILLION? (By C. J. Harris) THERE WAS" ra, time, not long ,gone, when the infrequently, used term, a billion, had a meaning for'a.Ll of us. But fin. some strange fashion fanufiani:ty has bred something akin to contempt. As the phrase has! come into coni - mon use, an understanding of its -true meaning ha6 diminished. Whereas a million still repre- sents, a dot of anything, be it people, dolilars, years or bushels, the conception- that a bullion represents a 'thousand nrrilllion fails to register. This :odd fact has ,not escaped' notice. In recent, weeltsb several journals have attempted to give relative meaning to the -term, The Toronto Globe and Mai, published the comment than the figure 1,000,000,000 is• only slightly less than the number of minutes that have passed, since the birth of Christ. Tule Financial Plast took a more material view• of noting that "If you had a n ll�iion dollars and'set out to count tile -.money at $100 a minute, •working eight hours a day for six days a week, it would -take you more than: 66 years to finish the jab," And the Wall Street? Journal offered the. yard- stick that while a million dollars in thousand dollar )Maas would make a little pule about three and �a. halt Inches thick, a MAlon dollars iq thous- and dollar bills wound make a pile nearly 300 feet tall, about the, equivalent of, a 30 -storey sky ''scraper. Perhaps more than any orbber factor it has been the very rapid rise in state, spending, and taxing, that has mvade the term almost mean- ingless. In 1639 the -federal government of Canada spent $553 million. By 1949 the; compar- ative ,total had jumped to $2.1 billion, in the current Tear it will be about $5.5 billion. ' As 16ng as the total was in millions', even hundreds of milrLions, it had an undersandalble dimension. Now that it is up an the billions it has slipped into the realm of the inconnprehens- ible, and make the term:, one billion, ahnasit meaningless• in whatever cofineetion it is aoplied. BEING A GROWN-UP DRIVER ISN'T EASY Being a grown-up driver Is a difficult art. It takes character and alertness, decency and good .judgement.

For the possible gain of a few seconds they will bet their lives on a BIRD SEED (Globe and Mail) Dominion, says the dictionary, rtneans:. "The power or right of governing and controlling, sovereign authority; sovereignty; rule; control;" So It was an, ideal title for this independent nation from 1867 onward, But in twenty-two years (without a dictionary)'the Liberals some- ihow attached an, antit'hede meaning to it, W sthey began erasing at 'w'herever It cropped, up, Now, with a change of Government, we may get It back.
