One Visit Worth A Thousand Words
A VISIT to the Industrial Therapy
Unit at the Ontario Hospital, Goderich,
should be enough to convince anyone
that mental disease is not such a fright
ful, shameful thing it was once thought
to be. ’
In fact, aside from sm inability to
face the modern world outside the hospi
tal, with all its frustrations and fren
zies, patients in the Ontario Hospital
at Goderich are ordinary folk with a
need to feel useful and a desire to be
accepted socially.
We think you will be impressed,
too, with the professional quality of the
work accomplished there. No assembly
line anywhere in Canada is more full
of pride or takes a greater interest in
the dob ‘at hand. Few employers can
bpast a staff wihich waits each day to
begin work and is reluctant .at night to
leave, ' .
The staff in Industrial Therapy en- •
courages visitors to shop there and take
advantage of the various services offer
ed. Mot only dp such visits result in alb
important sales which keep workers
happily busy and the plan financially
sound, they help to break down some of
the barriers of ignorance which are
built around the mistaken idea that
mentally disturbed men and women are
dangerous or completely irresponsible.
’Tis not so. >
Plan to indude the Industrial Ther
apy unit at the Ontario Hospital, Gode
rich, in your summer agenda. We pro
mise you a worthwhile experience in
living which you will never ever forget.

Crop Insurance More Popular
Since Recent Gov't'Authorization
result Of amend
ments made tip the Crop Insur- -
ance Act M 1966, the current
fiscal year will see an increase
in the number of federal-pro-
vtincial crop insurance pro-
granis/ said Agriculture Ivlinxst-r.
&T J, J, Greene. recently.
Coverage may run as high- as
$83 million for 33,500 fanmexT?
compared with $52 million for
24,500 last year, he said.
The federal contribution to
the farmers’ premium payments
and to the costs of administra
tion of the insurance programs,
are expected $o be $2.8 million
as against $1.3 million in 1966.
Reserve funds of the three
prairie province crop insurance
agencies totaled approximately
$5,000,000 at the beginning of
the current fiscal year.
Parliament last year author
ized': ’ (a) raising the limit of
-I-
coverage from 60 pewent
the average crop yield to
percent; (b) increasing the gov-
eiment’s pontrtbution to ilk
dividual f aimer’s premium from
20 percent to 25? (e) extending
coverage to fruit trees pr peren
nial plants, and to surnmerfal-
low that had been prepared but
could not be seeded because of
agricultural hazards'; (d) cal
culation of the average yield
from the records of an indivi
dual farm where feasible, in
stead of from the area records.
Ontario has some 400 winter
wheat growers who had taken
out crop insurance by the end
of 1966 and a plan' to offer
coverage for spring grains has
been introduced. A program for
forage crops will apply in the
counties of Bruce, Huron, Grey,
Lennox, Addington, Prince Ed
ward and Renfrew.

To Lower The Boom on Thoughtless Youth
We think this is as it should be. .
In a day when part-time summer
jobs held by ’teenagers can net fabulous
wages for the worker, stiffer fines are
in order. Nor should credit be extended
to law breakers who deliberately flaunt
their disrespect for society.
In Huron County where the major
ity of ’teenagers and young adults are
sensible, responsible citizens, a few >
, chronic bad apples can spoil the pleas
ing image so many strive to maintain. .
Stiffer fines and less leniency with
regard to paying them are indicated
here as well as in Grand Bend. Maybe
then we could impress upon those who
tempt and tease their way into the
court rooms that breaking the law is
not a game of penny-ante where the
prize is a hero’s welcome home after
a glorious skirmish with the local
“fuzz”.

A NEW report out of Grand Bend
last week alter the rash of minor law
infractions during the first long week
end of the summer season, could hold
.some solution to law enforcement pro
blems in Huron County.
The Sarnia magistrate who handles
count sessions in the Lambton County
resort village issued a'frank warning
that law breakers would be fined $100
for liquor infractions and $200 for dis
turbing tlie peace . . . with no time to
pay and the alternative .being jail sen
tences ranging from 15 to 30 days.
"From past experience, Grand,Bend
regulars will know that what the magi
strate says, he means. There is no back
ing down and very little bending when
dealing with young men and women
who show small regard for other people
and their property.'
THE 1966 drowning statistics pub
lished recently by the Red’Cross show
that at least 170 children under 12 years
of age drowned because they had no
adult supervision.
Lack of adult supervision in the
water is like letting a five-year-old loose
with a car on a super highway. .
A child isn’t aware of what he’s up
against in the water. He doesn’t know
the dangers of broken glass, debris and

holes on the bottom. He doesn’t know
how to escape from water current,
weeds and mud. He’s not conditioned,
to think of safety while he’s having fun.
Parents are sometimes too confi-
• dent-of their Child’s abilities and'believe
they can leave them to take care of
themselves' in any situation. The above
statistics prove that this is a false confi
dence. Supervise children constantly.

a firm Establishment that can impose
its decision. Both find themselves, for
different reasons, in a state of fragmen
tation for which there is no precedent.
' On the eve of the party conventions ■
it’s stm a toss-up choice who will get
the nod from the rank-and-file voters.
Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp is still

may be^able to call on enough support
to defeat Sharp.
CANADA’S MAJOR political par-'
ties face a test that neither had had to
meet for at least 40 years, write Ott
awa correspondent Blair Fraser in the
June issue of Maclean’s Magazine. The
z situation: the possibility of an open con
test at a leadership convention.
' For -the Conservatives, the last
time this happened was R. B. Bennett’s
narrow victory over Hugh Guthrie in
1927. For the Liberals it was Mackenzie
King’s triump over W. S. Fielding in
1919. - . ____ ________ _

The Strong and The Weak
MANY WISE people believe the
biggest dividend of World War I and
II was the Welfare State. They See it as
democracy’s answer to Communism.
Its achievement grew put of the
conviction that a nation’s power to wage
war proved the existence of an equal
or greater potential to wage peace.
Canada has gone f urther along this
road than her richer neighbor the Unit
ed States. Our southern cousins are
soared stiff of Medicare; we have begun,
and by mid-1968 will have this latest
social security provision.
The Welfare State requires money.
Even the poor widow> as in Bible times,
must cast her mite into the treasury.
The problem is to distribute the load
fairly. ’ ■
In the Carter Commission six vol-’
time report on taxation, Canada has her
first complete blue-print of an equitable
tax plan. The report spells out in lay
men’s terms the Christian teaching that
the strong must help the weak.
Canada won’t move into Carter
land overnight. Public opinion must be
aroused, then informed and finally pre
sented with a program of enabling legi
slation Workable at federal, provincial
and municipal levels.

equitable tax structure should begin to

If you’re looking for a place to start on
home improvements, consider
these facts about electric wiring.
,To iTidst people> home improvements
mean a panelled recreation room or a
Shiny new set of kitchen cupboards. But
there's a way to improve the imprcve-
. mentS: modernize your home wiring first.
Up-to-date wiring lets you make the
... most of the new room you're building, or
the old one you're re-styling. It lets you
place your lighting wherever you like,
have as many electrical outlets as you
choose, and use as many appliances as
you need without popping fuses.
In fact, you'll notice pleasant changes
all through your home. Modem wiring
can improve the efficiency of your light-
ing and the performance of your, appli
ances. It puts such comforts as electric
heating and air conditioning well within
your reach. It can also make a big differ
ence to the safety and re-sale value Of
your home* Before you reach for your
toolbox/ reach for your telephone* Call
a qualified electrical contractor, or your
