Control of disease has advanced a long,
way within the last few Years,. practically all
of it coming since the discoveries of Louis Pas-
teur and Madame Curie. Now, as Dr, .Aldis
reports, "for people under 40 years of age, the
chief cause of death- is by accidents; for people
over 40, the principal cause's ere ailments of
the heart and circulatory system, and cancer."
There is another danger on the horizon—
in fact, with us now, Mental health is the
biggest public health problem. About half of
hospital beds are used for mental health cases,

nize the intensive readership given to weekly
papers by their subscribers, and to take advant-
age of 'it. Its total appropriation for television
advertising was $500, for radio $1275. • I We congratulate the Waterloo Cattle

S THE ANSWER
and demand the game pay, he is telling us to
raise costs and therefore raise Prices—and that's
the• way to ruin jobs.
When someone supplies us with a better
machine, he' is offering us the chance to produce •
more efficiently and so 'be worth more—which
means, have more for ourselves and Our famil-
ies.
The answer to today's problems isret leg-
islation, it's work—work so efficient that costs
and price come down, demand and jobs go up.
In view of the' broad impact of the tourist
industry's request for appropriate' banking fac-
potential employment that can be created by
it, and the rising importance of tourist business
in Canada's 'balance of payments with the Unit-
ed States, consideration by Parliament of the
industry's request for appropriate b anking fac-
ilities is fully justified.
—The Telegram
It is quite possible that in this area mun-
icipal officials have , not given close enough
attention to the fact that 'tourism is big busi-
ness. Of course one has only to 'drive the Blue
Water Highway, to realize the huge 'resorts
which are being 'built up them, and back in
in the hills and forests of Goderich Township,
there are opportunities for many a comfortable
retreat from everyday cares and worries on the
annual vacation.
So far Huron County has not been exploited
too much for its possibilities in tourist attract-
ions, But the time is coming, and there is need
for more attention to be given to• the county's
developnient,
"Out .of the strain of doing, into
the peace of the done."
—W. M. L. Jay
CHANGE IN HEALTH PROBLEMS
WHEN HURON COUNTY COUNCIL re-
ceived` such a favourable report from Dr. R. M.
Aldis, 'director of the county Health Unit last
week during the January sessions, they heard
of the direct result of the discovery of Salk
polio vaccine only two years ago, There were
no polio cases in Huron during 1957.
It seems only a short time ago that the
coming of summer was a time of fear for moth-
ers and fathers. Every year when the "seas-
on" arrived, more youngsters (and adults, too)
were stricken with this crippling disease.
SUCCESSFUL ENTERP.
WE HAVE WATCHED with interest, over
the past few years, the amazing growth of
Waterloo battle Breeding Association, an or-
ganization Whose specialty is artificial insem-
ination, Its annual report, recently received,
shows another year of exceptional progress
The organization, starting out in a small
way, now has a total assets of $157,000. At the
year's end, its cash on hand was $61,000. Its
net Profit in 1957 was over $18,000. These fig-
ures would look well on any company's financial
statement.
One of the chief factors in the rapid and
steady growth of this Association 'has been a
sound and consistent advertising programme. In
1957 it spent $13,799.08 on advertising. It is
PRODUCTION ,1
WE DON'T DECIDE how long we want to
work in a week: we decide how much in groc-
eries and clothes we want to take home at
the end of the week.
We get paid out of what we produce after
the costs of helping us produce it are paid—
taxes, machines, supervision. Therefore, the
more we produce, the more we can be paid, •
and so the more things we can buy.
Or, put it another way—the things we want
for our family decide how much we work.
When someone teals us to' cut our work week
TOURISM IS BIG BUSINESS
THE THEME of the annual meeting of the
Ontario Hotel Association in Toronto this week
may be summed up in one phrase: Tourism is
Big Business. Hotel and tourist resort operators
are constantly seeking ways and means of
conducting their business, which is Canada's
third largest industry, on the scale which it
merits. Their problems are many, but the
future of the industry rests in the main upon
the provislion of proper credit facilities so that
experienced operators may finance the amenities
needed to meet tourist desires.
In Ontario, as G. R. Rumble, of Atherley,
said in his report as president of Associated
Tourist Resorts of Ontario, there is need for
clarification of liquor 'laws to remove arraying
regulations.
Modern and adequate accommodation can be
provided only if credit is available. Resort
operators are planning a new approach to gov-
ernments on this score. The tourist industry
has found that normal bank credit provisions
do not cover their needs, and such an institut-
ion as the federal government's Industrial De-
velopment Bank has 'not met the deficiency.
The complaint is that interest rates are too
high and other terms of loan money create
barriers to the proper expansion of this vital
industry.

The Bible Today
(By Rev. W. H. Moore)
After World War II a move-
ment began in Bavaria called the
House Bible Circle. Its purpose
was to issue helps to a wider
study of the Bible in the, home
and the movement has now grown
until some 20,000 homes now re-
ceive their lesson helps in many
parts of Germany:.
What this has meant to the
spiritual life of Germany can har-
dly be estimated. The disruption
of normal life caused by the move-
ment of refe.g7gs' and internrees
and others brought a considerable
drift away from the church. Yet
there was evident a great hunger
for community which is showing
itself in an increased demand for
the Word of God.
Through the Bible Society and
its Scriptures, and the House of
Bible Circles with their encour-
agement to read and study this
Word of God, thousands of weary
sceptical people have found a new
orientation in life.

Marriage is a wonderful instit-
ution as the saying goes. "But"
invariably adds a friend of mine,
when the remark is made "who
wants to live in an institution?"
* * * *
Far be it from me to make snide
remarks about marriage. As an-
other ,old saying has it, there's
no use crying over spilt milk. Or
half a life is better than none. Or
there's' many a slip 'twixt the
womb and the tomb.
* *
But when you get right down to
it, there is quite a similarity be-
tween marriage and an institution.
In both, there is the same pan-
icky sense of lost freedom when
the door clangs shut behind you.,
In both, you're told when 'to get
up and when to go to bed, what
clothes you can wear: You have
to eat what's put in front of you,
you're' only allowed visitors at
certain times, and you can't get
out whenever you feel like it.
In some ways, institutions are
superior to marriage. Inmates are
not required to stoke the furnace,
shovel the walk or work and
worry themselves into baldness
and ulcers trying to keep the
Warden in style.
But there's one respect in which
marriage is miles ahead, In every
institution there comes a time
when tension mounts to the dan-
ger point. If it's a prision, there's
liable to be a riot. If it's a men-
tal outfit, someone's liable to set
fire to the drapes. If it's mar-
riage, however, you can save the
day by sending the Head Keeper
away to viist her mother, sister
or somebody, * 4'
That's what happened at our
place last week. Relations had
reached that point of rawness at
which' I was hiding the axe to pre-
vent a tragedy, The kids had been
building up, for weeks, to unpre-
cedented heights of surliness and
sauciness.
Bugged by a stuttering stoker in
the• cellar, an 18-foot icicle that
was pulling my roof off, and a
throbbing corn on the ball of my
foot, I was going around like a re-
volution looking for a place to
happen. Overwhelmed' by tracked-
up floors, lost scarves, prying fro-
zen clothes off the elothes-line,
the Warden was sizzling like a
Sputnik with the fuse lighted.
There was nothing for it but
to get her off our necks, and us
out from under her feet for a
couple of days, by sending away
for the weekend, with a couple of
pieces of folding money in her
hand. Which we did. .
* * *
Well sir, you should have seen
that institution of ours after we
got her on the early train, First
thing we' did was go and have
breakfast in a restaurant. None
of this grubbing around in the
kitchen. Hugh ordered his fav-
ourites., hamburger a n'd milk
shake. Kim had apple pie a la
made and ginger ale. I luxuriated
in three cups of coffee and three
cigarettes, instead of one.
* * fi *
Until she got back, it was the
same. We really lived. No piano
practising. Elbows on the table.
Reading at meals. Unmade beds.
Never changed our socks. The
kids went to two cowboy pictures',
and stayed up as long as they
liked. I had the boys in for a lit-
tle session. We had delicious and
exotic meals such as hot dogs and
ice cream pie, or fish and chips
with cherry tarts.
:A 4: ,,
As' usual, it worked like a
charm, By the time she got back,
we'd had enough of this wild free-
dom, We were ready to change
our socks, eat off some clean dish-
es, and get some sleep„ We were
also slightly M.
* 4' II,
It was the same for the War-
den, After a couple of days of
freedom, ,in which she had no-
body to order about, she was glad
to get back to the institution,
where She had some authority,
Shs didn't think we were nearly
so repulsive as when she went
away. In fact, it was, several
days before she got out the whip
again. Yes, indeed marriage is a
wonderful institution. For them
that has the constitution.
