Our duty •is to look for that 'good. Let us extend the hand of welcome rather than the stone of judgment. In Canada, because of its immense area and different, cultures, unity is essential.

Vanier, Toronto, October, 1959. 33 PH 92 rio The reasons lying factor wo sufficient for s re many, but the under- to make annual profits ogress. THESE WORDS were penned with that dissatisfied chap in mind who feels the city fellow has all the good -times; good luck, etc. The writer was a rural! chap, name of Bruno Nforawetz, Peterborough', and his letter appear. ed in'the Globe and Mail in October. Mr. Morawetz 'considers an editorial in that Paper thus: "In essence (you) argue that Ottawa should stop supporting the thrall farmer, allow him ,and even assist him to become an induStrial worker and encourage the remaining farming industry to become highly automated." • On the face of it, this seems a highly-plaus- ible argument, especitly when supported by such undeniable propositiOns as "Canada can ill afford to penalize initiative. Even less gran it .ifferd to expend unnecessary manpower in the production of any commodity, especially such " a rudimentary one as food." If -the underlying premise for argument had been that Canada should grow feed for the ' millions who are hungry, one could not object to the editorial., However, no such khoughte tinder- lies it. Its premise appears to Ile strictly statis- tical, All too often are. human; beings made the pawns of statistical niceties scribbled on paper in downtown offices.' Is there a real advantage in producing more economically commodities for which at present a,ve have no outlet anyway? Greater anechaniza- tion on the ratan sends more and more people to Work in factories. Healthful outdoor activity becOmes replaced by factory condition's with lack of fresh air, monotony . . ForAhe sake what real advantage should the rerintaning 2.90,- 000 farmers join the ranks of factor4r. workers? THE DEFINITION of frills f education has been taken to mean ,home economics, shop training; driver edUcation, even cadet training. What the situation will be in education under the guidance of the new minister of education, remains, to be seen. ,„ Whatever happens, we feel that driver education (though possibly a frill in so far as academic training is concerned) should be con- sidered a necessary frill in our modern world. Driver education IS given at 'the Goderich ,Collegiate. This year the number of students aenrolling doubled to 66. There is l'a good deal .of class room, instruction, and also practical "in the car" driving.'

DINNIN, Editor TO THE DISSATISFIED FARMER If there is to be a revolution, it should pro- ceed in exactly the opposite direction. More and more people shoUld 'take part in the pro- duction of food so that more of their leisure time is spent outdoors. Physical working of a garden plot does more than produce food. It• permits physical and emotional outlets which other oc- cupations do not grant. As one driveS through the beautiful Ontario countryside, which abounds in limitless spaciousness, in fresh air and bright sunlight, on cannot help wondering what per- versity in human nature makes more and more people live in the most unfavourable and con- gested conditions of large cities. What draws them to barren brick walls, the fumes of modern traffic, the noise and the ba."vements? What good are shorter working hours if the earned leisure has to• be. worked off at the basement work bench or spent on crowded highways trying to reach one's cottage? What inverted sense of values is it that places ,statistical well7being before real well-being? ' Every farmer knows that he is a "rich man'''. Only a farmer and a millionaire ca.neatfd-d a large house surrounded by acres, vf 'land,- abun- dance of light, a ponyio,r,Iiis children, fishing at his back door, heivig his „,owliboss.

This popular Chris-baps-flowering plant does best in gaaJight exposure and a temperature,:bf about 65° F. Yel- lowing and dropping of the bo-V torn leaves inlay be caused by tem- peratures belpw 60° F, drafts, and drying out it the roots. After "flOwering," rest t h e plants in a -Cool location and let the soil dry out. Don't let the stems 'become dry enough to cause shrivelling o.4 the, bark, however. During this rest period, cut back the plants part way. Following the rest period, place the plants in a larger pot, supply water and expose them to a good light and a temperature 'of 65, to 70° F. Exposure of poinsettia plants to electric light after the first of September is' not a good practise. It may prevent the' flower buds' from forming and the bracts from Coloring. Letter to Editor ' SCHOOLS AND NAMES The Editor, Clinton News-Record ,„ Schools in Southwestern On- tario have shown a conspicuous lack of originality in their chosen names. Clinton. District Collegiate Institute, Wingham District High School, Clinton Public School, to name only a few. H. B. Beal Technical School, A/V/M Hugh Campbell Public School and. South Huron District High School are among those who had the gumption to go against the trend. We Would like to draw to the attention of the members of the' School Board of CDCI that it would be a fitting tribute upon the opening of, the new addition, to re-name the school, the E. A. Fines Collegiate Institute. The students of CDCI have presented a bursary in his ' honour. Could not the school board follow suit? ' Mr. Fines has given much merit- orious service to both the Colleg- iate ' and the community. His re- eor'd as, an administrator and an educator is; an impressive one, in- creed. Re-naming.4be ' Cellegiatt in Such a way vr'ould- be"' an' hail u richly deserved. ' While we are on the subject of naming schools, we have beard via the grapevine that Clinton will soon have, another Public School, : To liana, thiVvO F6liala-iiiiiiiiibei, one" and "number two" or "A" and "B" would be lamentably ludicrous. More than that it would be a travesty of justice. " We would humbly suggest that the first Clinton Ptiblic School be re.-named the George H. Jefferson Public SchoOl, in honour of a man whose ability as an educator bor- ders on the legendary. Having studied under both of these men, it may be claimed that we are more than a little pre- judiced. Our only defence is that with such Men, prejudice is just- ifiable. '‘'. - If the members of the respec- tive school boards do. not follow these suggestions, it is ,their mo- tives which we should 'question. Because we are aware of jiiSt how much they have given both in learning: arid in aid toward mature thinking on the part of their students, we state quite explicitly that these two men deserve such honours. ----1).
