ADELAIDE
DANIELS SAYS
WISHING DOESN'T MAKE IT SO
I can understand why people Wish for the sun to shine, or the
rain to stop, or the baby to go to sleep, or the neighbours to
quit arguing. -Sooner or later all these things happen,
But I am dismayed by the number of people who wish for
things that will never happen unless they themselves do some-
thing more than wishing. Health, happiness and prosperity are
wonderful things for us to wish for other people, but if we want
them for ourselves we must consciously go after them.
Wishing to be thin is another example. There is no way we can
make this wish as we go to bed at night and miraculously wake
up in the morning 20 pounds lighter. There is no way we can
envy the fashion model, and wish that we could wear a size 10,
if we aren't prepared to give up the chocolate bars, pizzas, or
whatever it is that has made us a size 20.
Such self-wishes must be accompanied by determined actions.
We have to take ourselves in hand, decide that we are going to
do something about the shape we're in, and then do it! Once
that decision is made, the rest is easy just put yourself on a
weight loss programme of approved, nutritionally-balanced
foods in order to develop new eating habits, and get together
regularly with people who are trying to do the same thing so
you can share your problems and gain encouragement and
strength from each other.
Then you can stop wishing you were thin, because you will be!

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
SELECT COMMITTEE ON LAND DRAINAGE
By resolution of the Legislature of Ontario a select committee
was appointed on June 30, 1972 to examine, study and inquire into
the following matters regarding land drainage in Ontario:
(1) The objectives of land drainage as an agricultural practice
and the benefits to be derived from such practice.
(2) The associated problems of competing land use In the
urban fringe and in wetlands, as influenced by land drainage
projects.
(3) The problem of public interest in land use over the
drainage of private lands by individuals.
(4) The prior evaluation of the benefits and Costs of a drainage
project.
(5) An evaluation of the petition procedure for initiating a
drainage project.
(6) A review of the construction improvement and
maintenance procedures under "The Drainage Act" in
achieving the objectives..
(7) A review of the appeal procedures under "The Drainage
Act".
(8). A review of the financial procedures and assistance under
"The Drainage Act" and other drainage programs.
(9) A study,of the costs of land drainage and whet influences
such costs and how they may be reduced, i.e. engineering costs,
etc.
(10) An evaluation bf construction practices in general and
erosion and weed control of drainage ditches in detail.
(11) A review of the administrative practices and methods in
carrying out responsibility under "The !Drainage Act"
Affer due study and consideration to recommend such changes
in the laws, procedures and processes as in the opinion of the
Committee may be necessary and desirable.
The Committee has the intention of visiting all areas in the
Province arid to hold publit hearings on the questions associated
with the above terms of reference.
This therefore, is to invite all interested parties,' individual or
otherwise, to indicat•to the Committee, by (AUGUST 15, 1972)
their intention to submit written briefs or their desire to attend the
hearings And make oral representations,
The response to this invitation will determine the times and

Garden Notes
Gardening can be
made easier
ester :ay visits • •
Elevate high-maintenance
planting beds for easy care;
group together those plants
requiring more care in such a
bed and use fewer kinds in
larger numbers.
Install an underground
watering system, This will
eliminate time-consuming hose-
changing and provide a more
even distribution of water. To
save even more time, fit the
system with an electrical timing
device which will turn the water
on and off during the intervals
required for sufficient watering.
Provide accessible easy
storage for tools so as to have
them on hand at all times. The
stqrage area should be large
enough to accommodate all
equipment necessary to main-
tairi the grounds.
Plan convenient outlets for
electricity and water. Fifty feet
should be a maximum hose
length for watering or for a tem-
porary extension used with
mowers or lawn lights.
Pave areas where foot traffic
is heavy and provide walks that
are wide enough for power
equipment.
Choose 'clean' trees for plan-
ting on lawns. Avoid those that
shed their leaves in summer
(Manitoba maple or boxelder),
those that produce seeds which
litter the lawn and plants in
spring (poplar, Manitoba maple
or elm), and trees that shed
twigs in the fall and winter
(willow and Lombardy poplar).
Ant hills
under control
in the garden
Ant hills scattered through
even the best lawn can make it
appear unsightly, says R.A.
Fleming, horticultural
specialist, Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food: The grass
in the immediate area of the
colony usually becomes thin and
pale due to the tunnelling of the
insects.
Ants are readily controlled by
baits, dusts and sprays
containing Chlordane. A spray-
mix of four ounces, 40%
Chlordane wettable powder to
two gallons of water sprayed per
1,000 square feet and washed
into the soil, quickly kills the
colony.
Treatment of the whole lawn
with Chlordane not only
prevents ants from nesting but
will also give good control to the
white grub larva. Spread 1/2
pound, 5% Chlordane over
1,000 square feet and water it
into the soil.
Chlordane sprayed around
foundations, doors and window
frames will prevent the invasion
of ants into the house. Read the
label on the container and
follow directions carefully.
A doctor should be called as
soon as a child appears ill, St.
John Ambulance advises
parents. Even mild signs of
illness should be reported as
they may quickly become more
serious.
Judging by visual appraisal is
still one of the methods used to
select breeding stock. It is
effectiVe in the evaluation of
physical characteristics of the
live animal, says Paul Simmons,
swine specialist, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food. However, to appraise the
meat-producing quality of the
pig, it is necessary to look
beneath the skin.
In November 1971, Weigh
and Probe technicians changed
from using a simple metal ruler
to measure backfat thickness, to
the ultrasonic method of
measurement, and since. the
beginning of 1972 have also
measured the depth of the eye of
the loin by this means,
This free service is available,
not only to swine breeders
enrolled on R.O.P. Swine
Tking Programs, but also to
SCAMP (Swine Counselling and .
Management Program)
members, and farmers wishing
to select replacement gilts from
their own herds. Purebred and
crossbred animals can be tested.
In almost all infants, thumb
sucking is a normal pastime
says The Canadian Dental
Association. This pleasurable
habit occurs at bedtime, or when
the child is bored or upset. A
certain amount of thumb
sucking is normal in pre-school
age children as well.
Generally, if thumb sucking
continues beyond the age of five,
it may interfere with the
eruption and alignment of
permanent teeth resulting in
"crooked teeth". The habit is
probably fulfilling an emotional
need and it is usually better to
try to relieve the basic problem
than tio draw attention to the
habit. A mechanical restraint to
prevent thumb sucking only
ca uses frustration and
aggravates rather than improves
the situation. However, if the
thumb sucking habit is not
checked, real damage to the
developing arch and teeth can
result.
When the child is old enough
to cooperate and has a genuine
desire to stop thumb sucking,
but cannot do it alone, there
are certain devices which may
help him, These include mittens
Testing is done on the farm.
This allows the farmer to
compare promising animals in
the same herd, under the same
conditions and at the same time.
The variation attributed to
environment is then greatly
reduced with more of the
observed variation accounted
for in the hereditary
characteristics of the pig,
To ready gilts for testing is a
simple process. The farmer
should identify the gilts before
weaning, using tattoo pliers or
an ear-notching system. Record
the date of birth of the litter.
Full-feed all gilts up to the day
of testing using high energy
rations. The ideal ,weight for
testing is 200 pounds. A range of
180 to 200 pounds is acceptable.
Under this feeding program, the
animal's potential rate of
growth and backfat thickness
qualities can be demonstrated.
To arrange for a testing day,
interested farmers should
contact their local Agricultural
Representative.
or thumb guards, bitter-tasting
medication painted on the
thumb arid oral reminders, such
as rakes and cribs. These
appliances can be successful
only when the child • wants to
stop and the thumb sucking
habit is just that, not, a
fulfillment of an emotional
need.
There are both fixed and
removable cribs available. The
choice and design of these
depend on the dentist's own
preference and the degree of
reminder necessary.
Generally, the correction of
thumb sucking must be
individual, depending on the
particular child. No fixed rules
can be applied to all children.

"Oh, I've beery interested for a
long time!"
"You just can't lose it!"
laughs Arthur W. Throop, He
pointed to a nearby car whose
driver was demonstrating to a
group of men how the engine
worked. "He bought that car
and took it home in baskets and
boxes. Someone had taken it all
apart and either didn't know
how or didn't want to put it
together again." Now the car is
a' gleaming 1930 Pierce-Arrow,
and the owner is working on
restoring a 1934 Packard.
Donald P. Smith drove all the
way from Ohio to participate in
the tour. His 1927 Bentley has
the same bright green paint-job
it had sported when it was new.
Everything on it is original
except the headlights, which are
being restored. It's also missing
the canvas top.
It's a convertible till we get
the top installed!" Mr, Smith
said,
What if something goes wrong
in the motor? "I might know
what to do, but I might not
know how to do it," said Mr.
Smith. But there is a feeling of
brotherhood among owners of
old cars, and if anything went
wrong on the road there would
quickly be help rallying around.
Arden Patterson of
Willowdale began his interest in
old cars with a Model A Ford.
After buying and selling several
cars, he finally acquired the
grey and navy blue Rolls Rbyce
he displayed in Bayfield. He
now belongs to the club for
owners of antique Rolls Royces.
"By joining the club," he said,
"you can get mutual help and
magazines and you can choose
the events in which you want to
participate."
Ken and Muriel Bigford of
the Bt. Lawrence Valley .region
own several ."old cars" and
"modern ear" too. Their 1931
Ford Town Sedan has a horn
that sounds like a doorbell, Mr.
Bigford has been a mechanic for
44 years, and he and his wife
won a trophy in one contest for
having attended the most shows'
and tours. A group of senior
citizens judging ti5 old cars
picked one of the Bigford's cars
as Number One. Why? "They
just liked it!"
Bystanders agreed that the
most outstanding specimen on
the tour was the 1931 V-16
Cadillac Roadster owned by
The Craven Foundation and
rumoured to he worth $85,000.
Adorned with a chrome grill
and accessories, it was
highlighted with orange paint,
and seemed the personification
of the grandeur of by-gone days.
BY A.R. BUCKLEY
Very soon it will be time to
prepare the soil for lawn
seeding, to plant evergreens, to
divide and transplant her-
baceous perenniala— in fact, to
begin to landscape or re-
landscape your garden,
If you are a new home owner
faced with preparing a garden
from scratch, or are comtem-
plating renovating an old gar-
den, you should consider ways
of making your garden main-
tenance easier, This can be done
now by putting your thoughts
down on paper and drawing up
a sketch of your late summer
and early fall plans.
First, make a sketch of the
floor plan of the house and
surrounding area and mark on
it all existing features such as
trees, shrubs, grade changes and
sidewalks. Then make rough cir-
cles where each area such as
playgrounds, service area, bor-
ders, lawns, patios and
vegetable gardens are to be
located. As the plan takes
shape, decide what you really
need, whether your garden is to
be a hobby or merely a place to
provide the maximum beauty
with minimum maintenance.
Most amateur landscapers
forget about maintenance
problems that are likely to ac-
crue from some of the more
grandiose layouts, such as cir-
cles, steps, walks and patios,
when they are not planned
correctly.
Consider the following steps
to easy gardening as you
proceed with your plan:
eliminate sharp corners from
your plan and substitute gentle
curves or informal lines. This
will be appreciated when
mowing the lawn, for then the
unnecessary push and pull at
corners and other hard-to-get-at
places will be avoided.
Use brick mowing strips along
curbing and at the edge of
lawns, thus removing the need
for clipping, yet maintaining a
neat edge.
Avoid the necessity of mowing
around trees by the use of
ground covers, gravel or stone
chips kept in bounds by circular
mowing strips. These ground
covers will allow easy operation
of the mower around trees
because pendulous branches
will not interfere with the
operation and it will not be
necessary to prune the tree high
enough to ease mowing.
All paved areas should be
level with the lawn so that
equipment may be transferred
freely from one place to another.
Use ground covers such as
pachysandra, vinca, bearberry,
creeping jennie and low-growing
junipers in all difficult-to-mow
locations and on all steep
slopes. For shady areas use
pachysandra, vinca or creeping
jennie. For sunny places use
bearberry or any of the rampant
creeping rock-garden plants
such as snow-in-summer, arabis,
alyssum, draba and moss-pink.
Use mulches freely to keep
down weeds and to conserve
moisture. Some mulches such as
cocoa shells, buckwheat hulls
and peatmoss will also provide
interesting backgrounds for the
plants.
Use low-maintenance hedge
plants such as yews, cedars,
alpine currants, and cotoneaster
that require pruning not more
than twice a year.
Install forms of garden
lighting at the outset to prolong
the length of day and to add in-
terest to your outdoor living
room at night.
Provide free movement from
one area to another and from
one level to another by the use
of grass and ramps.
Clinton bantams enjoyed t.,
good week with two victories in
as many starts.
Tuesday, Clinton won a
squeaker from Exeter by a score
of 8-7. Dave Bartliff earned
the victory by being tough when
necessary. Dave had 12
strikeouts, while giving up five
hits for Exeter's seven runs.
Clinton took a while to settle
down behind Bartliff and at one
point gave away three runs on
no hits but two walks and three
errors. Going into the last of the
seventh, and down by one run,
Clinton had to produce.
Mustard drew a walk and stole
second. A long double by
Nicholson brought him home to
tie the game. Rob Harkes then
singled and Clinton had pulled
one out of the fire.
Last Thursday evening it was
no contest as Clinton walloped
Dashwood 13 — 0. In fairness to
Dashwood, however, it should
be noted that their best pitcher
was hampered by a sore arm
and only pitched a single inning.
Nicholson worked on the mound
for Clinton and gave up three
hits while striking out 15.
At the plate , the Fish and
Garners were led by team
captain Bill Irwin who had
three hits and three runs.
Clinton's next hurdle will be
the southern group play-offs of
the WOAA against Seaforth.
The boys finished the regular
schedule with six wins, two
losses and 2 games rained out
(one of which Clinton led 8— 2.
Ontario is considering "more
stringent legislation in the uphill
battle towards the goal of traffic
safety" says the Hon. Gordon
Carton, Q.C., Minister of
Transportation and
Communications. Speaking at an
Ontario Safety League function on
July 5th Mr. Carton said:
"We are looking at such things
as compulsory annual vehicle
inspection; compulsory use of
seat belts; licensing of driving
schools; 12-month probationary
periods for new drivers;
psychological testing of license
applicants and re-examination of
all drivers,"

Thumbsucking
A pleasurable habit
