Numbers and Efficiency
The army of Gideon was reduced
in numbers from thirty-two thou
sand to ten thousand and again from
ten thousand to three hundred fight
ing men. For the kind of warfare
in which they were to be engaged, a
small force was better than a large
one. Also for a surprise attack in
which great daring was required, it
was better to have picked men. It
is not true, as a general rule, that
the reduction of numbers increases
efficiency. For instance, a congrega
tion of .six hundred members may be
a more effecient organization than
a congregation of a thousand mem
bers made up of active and earnest
Christians, may be a much more ef
fective spiritual force than a con
gregation of only six hundred mem
bers. They can undertake and ac
complish projects that would be im
possible for the smaller congregation
Often t is true that a reduction of
numbers results in more effective
work, but that is not due to the fact
that fewer people are at work, but
to the fact that more concentrated

This sulphate can be springled on

Weed Cutting in Haldimand
Attention has been focussed

troduction of a special day or week
devoted to the interests of same but
it remained for Haldipiand county
to institute what is prdbably the
first special Weed Cuttng Week.'
The Warden and Agricultural
Committee of the County Council
in co-,operation with the Agricultural
Representatvie, A. Gordon Skinner
after carefully studying the situation
decided this would be one of the besr
ways of bringing the seriousness of
weed problems to the attention of
the general public. Accordingly the
week of July 3rd to July 8th was set
apart for the purpose at the same
time pointing out that every week
should be in reality weed-cutting
week.
The Warden, Mr. Frank Laidlaw,
is issuing an official proclamation
called upon every citizen to support
the movement by active co-operation
in peeing that all weeds were cut
The assistance of all road authorities
were also secured and general
clean-up made.
