WE 'QUOTE
"IN EVERY province, in every man of what-
ever race he may be, there is some good. 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.
We cannot get on without one another . . ."
—Governor-General George P. Vanier, Toronto,
October, 1959.

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.' Dual control cars are supplied
through co-operation of automobile dealers' in'
theltown. •
Statistics prove that those students who take

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. Let us
hope that a, revolution vr.4711-'-toon come, but one
through 'which real as•OPposed to statistical well-
being,' Will be foster-ed.
Ti7 our land, it will come ,only when individu-
als -take it upon themselves to' be captains of
their own lives rather than allowing themselves
to be tossed about on the ocean of statistical
niceties. '

Although it -will be easier ' to
buy poinsettia 'plants from a flor-
ist each winter, they can. be car-
ried over to 'the next year, accor-
ding to horticulture specialists
with the Ontario Department : of
Agriculture. , Poinsettia flowers
are inconspicuous but a colorftif
show is provided by the large
scarlet or sornetimes cream color-
ed, leaf-like bracts. 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). C.,'
