FORMER BRUOEiFIELD BOY
AGAIN HONOURED
Thornton Mustard, well-known to
many in this community, has re

Minister of Education to re-organize
the work in Grades VII and VIII of
the Public and Separate Schools. Mr*
Mustard was in charge last year of
preparing the new program for the
Grades I to VI 'Which went into use
last 'September. It is a mark of
high esteem in which Mr. (Mustard’s
professional ability is iheld, that 'he
is thus entrusted with the responsi
bility of planning the education of
all the boy and girls of the Province.
His old friends here offer congratu-,

Winter Brooding of Chicks
The poultryman with proper equip
ment can handle .chicks in mid-win
ter with as little mortality as with
A'pril .chicks. He may not get as
'high percentage hatch as later on,
but even the .hatchability of eggs is
being controlled by the feed. Janu
ary chicks will cost more as eggs are
higher (priced to start with. Then it
will take more fuel than with spring
brooding. But there is more time
for looking after the chicks; there
may be less disease and .mortality;
broilers will catch a high market,
and pullets should be laying early
in the fall or even in late summer
when egg prices are at their peak.
Of -course, if many started hatching
all their chicks in January the high
er prices for broilers and eggs would
be wiped out, and chicks .hatched at
some other season would find the
best market. Brooder houses un
suited for prolonged zero weather
and the higher prices for chicks will
limit the number .going in for Janu
ary chicks. Nevertheless there
should be good returns for the few
who do, add they can prolong the use
of their equipment, as those who
have January chicks usually have an
other batch in the spring so as to
have ipullets coming into production
at different seasons. January chicks!
will g?o on to range early in the'
season, or they may be raised indoors |
until ready for the laying pen.

THE PROBLEM
It’s one thing to build a tall chimney. It’s quite another thing
to keep that chimney warm with smoke that tells of profitable
industry. It’s one thing to have one’s barns filled with stock but
quite a different thing to have this stock returning a steady profit.
Yet that is the very situation that -confronts the United States
this hour.
When we ask the cause ithe answer is not far to seek. Com
petition has driven manufacturers to such desperation that they
can manufacture enough shoes and cars and stockings and all such
commodities in three months of the year to supply the demand for
the whole year. Cold chimneys and idle hands are the inevitable
result. Business competition has come to business war.
* * * * * * ♦ ♦
IT DEPENDS
Ralph Waldo Emerson is credited with saying in one of his
journals: “If a man .has good corn or wood or boards or pigs to
sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles or church or
gans than anybody else, you will find a broad, well-beaten road to
his house, though' it be in the woods.’’
That depends upon whether anyone wants any of those fine
things. Footwarmers, -however good, do not sell well in equatorial
Africa. However beautiful to the eye, a skunk is not popular -at a
Sunday .School picnic. (Sermons advocating the non-use of spirit
uous liquors are said to lack popularity in Highland -congregations.
The vendor of fighting ’bulldogs has a slow market with refined
ladies whose -taste runs to canaries. For many a day wheat holders
in Canada found the market heavy. Again and again owners of
t-he best of potatoes have fo-und it impossible to sell their product.
This hour 10,000,000 folk in the United States with labour to sell
cannot get a satisfactory offer. 'Further, there are a whole lot of
people with good things for a demanding market who keep the price
out of reach, while -others fail to advertise. 'The world is full of
a number of things. A good fiddle has more than one string and
a good band -has more than one instrument.
********
We learn to do by doing. We learn to play the harp by learn
ing to play the harp. We learn to 'live by living. Mr. Matthew
Arnold said that life is three parts conduct. He was mistaken—-
conduct is the w-h-ole of life. Why, then, should Ontario youth
spend the first 18 years of life busy with a great many things that
it will never do later on in the terribly serious business of making
a living?
We have to catch our rabbit before we cook it. We require
to .have an income before we can divide it. |A. nation must be pos
sessed of values before wealth can be distributed. And let us
never forget that wealth is produced and that the great producer is
work, old-fashioned work. (Should 'the -hours of work be reduced,
arbitrarily, will this mean the increasing of machinery and will
the increase of machines mean that there will be less work?
Will price fixing result in less 'production? If a few people
do the economic thinking of a commonwealth will the results
be as satisfactory as when all the people driven by their wants, do
their own thinking? Is experience the best school of the race or
would it be better for all of us to depend upon somebody else to get
us jobs and show us how to do them? Is it just as bad for the
race for the brains to get into the heads of a few as for the wealth
of the nation to get into the hands of a few? A little real hunger
gives the answer to -a good many of these questions. Are those folk
who domineer in the thinking of the race as rank public enemies
as the robber barons of long ago7 Has feudalism taken on this
new, subtler and menacing form?
********
HASH AND SPINACH
Junior is supposed to have a keen dislike for Spinach even if
Popeye the iSailor man had a way of ascribing his phenominal
strength to that dish. Then, again, dad has a long history of look
ing with grave suspicion upon hash. Junior is -supposed to follow
dad’s propensities in.this regard. This state of affairs caused
some good people in New York to send out a questionaire regard
ing food preferences among youngsters with- the following astonish
ing results according to the New York Times:
“Hash and spinach would .be about right if you wanted to en
tertain at dinner any of the 22,416 boys and girls who filled out
a questionaire submitted by the Boys’ Athletic League to find out
what children between the ages of six and sixteen prefer in foods,
education, Sports and entertainment.
To those who like caviar or thick lamb chops the inclination
toward hash may seem a bit surprising. Turkey came first oh the
lists of both boys and girls, but boys put hash second, and the girls
put it third with chicken in second place. ,
The boys put spinach first and the girls put it in almost tie
place with corn. Ice cream was the favorite dessert of .both groups
with pie in second place on the boys’ list and in fourth place on
the girls. Bananas were in first place with both- boys and girls,
the boys naming apples as second choice and the girls oranges.
All of which is most respectfully, submitted to hotel chefs in
such hostelrfes as The Royal Vork -and the- Chateau Laurier, to say
nothing of buffet lunch providers at wedding and the providers of
■church suppers.
('Continued from previous page.)
(Allowing for variation in loads it
is safe to say that the cost averaged
less than 4.5 cents.
“The dump truck operated at
slightly over .05c. per yard mile.
Oui’ contract work was done at .06
and 07c. per yard mile, but it is ex
pected that next year such work will
all be done at 6c. or less.
“1928 a (traffic officer was ap
pointed in response to requests from
villages for supervision over the traf
fic, (Since, that time conditions
have changed; a considerable mile
age of main roads were taken over
by the province and the traffic thro’
most villages policed by the provin
cial traffic officers, Now the chief oc
cupation of the traffic officer is the
investigation of accidents, most of
which occur on provincial highways
and township roads in which the
County Road System has no concern,
and no pant of the cost of which
should be borne by the county road
funds. The province now takes a
large part of the fines collected, and
I do not feel that the County Roads
Department is any longer justified
in employing traffic officers and I
believe that the money is much more
urgently needed on the roads. More
over, the investigation of these ac
cidents is a provincial requirement
and it is reasonable that they be in
vestigated by the officers of the pro
vince, which would save the county
money.
“Since the province has assumed
many of our main roads, and is add
ing to the list of traffic officers, I
recommend that the Provincial Gov
ernment be petitioned to employ Mr.
Lever, who has been our traffic of-
ficr during the past few years,
“If he decided to continue his em
ployment, I recommend that he be
removed from the charge of t'he
County Road Department. In the
event of his employment being dis
continued by the county, and if the
province fails to employ him, I re
commend that he be given a sub
stantial retiring allowance.
“Pursuant to the recommendations
made last year that our main reads
be provided with a bituminous sur
face 'before embarking upon any ex
tensive improvements to roads of
lighter traffic, the following' pro
gram is offered for consideration:
1938—Complete Seaforth-Brussels
road, 5 miles; Bayfield-ISeaforth
road, 7 miles; Lucknow-Nile road,
surface treatment, 11 miles; Dunlop
east to Carlow, 4 miles.
193 9—'Complete, Bayfield-ISeaforth
road 7 miles; Carlow-.Bly th road 12
miles; Carlow-Nile road, 2 miles.
1946—ISt. Marys road, 5 miles;
Crediton road, 10 miles; Brussels
north, 5 miles.
1941—Kippen road 9 miles; ,St.
Marys road, 5 miles; Brussels-Bel
more road 12 B miles.
Grading Needed
To carry out this work, six miles
of grading and gravelling will be
needed on the Crediton road, and 5
miles on the Kippen road, as well as
improvements to the igrade on all the
roads. The drains will be needed
on sections of the roads, and the
grading and draining should be
done well in advance of the surface
work.
.In most of our newer roads, small
construction jobs will be necessary
to make the roads safe, and the
other roads cannot be neglected and
must be maintained to a good stan
dard, while it is expected that some
bridges must be replaced.
“No doubt it will 'be found that
such a program must be varied to
suit conditions which may change
from time to time, but it is submit
ted as a possible guide for the fu
ture.
“Tony Meahan, who has been em
ployed by the county as power grad
er operator and on other work for
about seventeen years, has been in
Byron Hospital, London, for over
two months with illness, resulting
from war service. Mr. Meahan 'has
been receiving a small pension, but
quite inadequate, considering the
nature of his injuries. He has had
a great deal of expense on account
of illness *“in his family, and I re
commend that the Pensions Board
at Ottawa be petitioned to deal fair
ly with Mr. Meahan in regard pen
sion. I further recommend that,
pending the decision of the Pension
Board, Mr, Meahan be granted a lib
eral allowance by the county.
Has Surveyed Tonfb
“I may say that I have made a
survey of the late Dr. Dunlop’s pro
perty and prepared a contour plan
which I have submitted to H. J.
Moore of the Department of High
ways, who has agreed to lay out the
planting, and it is expected that it
will be completed before Spring. I
interviewed officials of the C. P, R.
and it was Intimated that approval
would be forthcoming for the in
clusion of their adjacent, unused
property in the area to be beautified
I have had some brush cut and piles
of rubbish burned.
“I recommend that a committee be
designated at this meeting to report
on the proposed improvements and
to supervise the work.’

Deputy-Reeve Brown of Goderich
at the morning session, inquired if
an exception could not be made to
a recipient of -Mothers’ Allowance
not to. have the amount deducted for
a son who had reached 16 years of
age. “How can the boy get em
ployment, and how is the mother to
keep him? The government has set
a plan for youth training but the
minimum age is 18. Positions used
to be wanting for boys; now it is
different. Have we a cold storage
plant for them for those two years?’
He appealed strongly that if the
government has acknowledged the
responsibility to keep boys to that
age, the allowance should have been
made to take care of them between
the ages of 16 and 1'8.
Reeve Cardiff—“The Mothers’ Al
lowance is justified in cutting them
off at that age. The municipality
should take care of them.’’
J. M. Govenlock, inspector of the
