Area farmers already are saying it: "Here we go again:" Will the new plan introduced by the pro- vincial milk marketing board touch off another farm controversy such as has been experienced in hog marketing? Will there develop, in this phase of agriculture, a new group of Charlie MeInnises, Clayton Fret's, Theodore Parkers, Charlie Coulteses to stage another extended battle over farm rights?' The predictions are that there 'he a battle. One can hardly expect the fluid milk pro- ducers to give up their exclusive markets without a struggle and they are a strong group. We feel, however, that many producers are tired of emotional appeals and derogatory crusades over marketing plans. Perhaps a more reasoned debate can be undertaken in this new development. One thing is especially important Ali pro- ducers should make themselves clearly familiar with the details of the plan before they start taking. Sides or spreading rumors.

Canadian consumers may get a new buying guide — Canada's version of the U.S. Consumer Reports — before the end of the year, The Can- adian Association of Consumers is working on plans to begin an organized program of testing consumer goods in this country with regular — and public — reporting of results. Tests will be carried out in Canadian laboratories. Results will be published in a new magazine for Canadian consumers, fashioned along the lines of Consumer Reports which sell 40,000 copies monthly in. Canada, of total circula- tion of one million, It is to contain results of tests on simple household drug, household cleaners, . small electrical appliance, household linen. Future tests will cover complicated, as well as simple, household goods. —St. Marys Journal-Argus plan. But let's discuss the facts—not the fantasies. All milk producers have realized for some time that changes are coming. They know that their industry must get control of its unhealthy surpluses to stabilize returns. They appreciate, too, that con- trols for production of quality milk are inevitable. These goals must be kept in mind during the de:. bate ahead.

Looking over an old photo- graph of Exeter's main street I am reminded of one family that for 95 years played an import- ant part in the history of Exe- ter and will live long in the memories of those for whom this column is especially writ- ten. I refer principally to Joseph Senior, the photographer who took the picture, and in whose homes today there are indivi- dual pictures of groups that are of a high sentimental value, Photography, with its colored pictures and practically fool- proof cameras, has come a long way from the days of the tin- type, when photography was more or less of a mystery and cameras for individuals were practically unknown, It was on the first of July, 1867, that Joseph Senior's fa- ther, Charles Senior, started business in Exeter as a. photo- grapher. His first studio was in a frame building opposite the present Times-Advocate office. He occupied several buildings before purchasing the old Royal Hotel, which was used both for a residence and studio. The building was torn down to make room for a home for C. F, Hooper when Mr. Hooper built the home and an egg-grading station, now the bank of Nova Scotia. In 1887 Joseph Senior took over the business from his fa- ther and in that same 'year he was married to Miss Almena Wood, Nineteen years later, 1906 Mr. Senior took over the building now occupied by Re- ther's Restaurant. The top sto- rey, with artificial lighting, was used for taking pictures and the ground floor for processing end a display room. During the years he was in business there were few persons living within miles of town that. he had not photographed, The Pictures were taken on glass plates and with his system of tabulating and filing he could go back for years and produce the n e g a t ives. Unfortunately when he retired from business in 1944 the negatives were dis- posed of and destroyed and some valuable history of early days in Exeter was lost for- ever. Mr, i Senior was quite a musi- ci an n his day, He was a mem- her of one of the first bands in Exeter under the leadership of Mr. Harry Gidley, For years he was the leader of Cavell Presbyterian Church choir. In 1904 .Mr. Senior was ap- pointed clerk of the mimicipal- Ity, a position he held until 1010 when he retired. in 1915 he was reappointed as clerk and 50 YEARS AGO Passng the entrance to Nor• ital.

JMS sus.fitt#0441041MManatie7,04 Treatment of Heart Disease A Huron County book in your library for Use next two months is "Dietary Prevention and Treatment of Heart Disease," It is written by three doctors who feel strongly that the prom- ising results of modern heart research should. be placed at the disposal of the medical profession and the general — and translated into prac- tical steps that every intelligent adult can 'follow. Each of the doctors is a famous authority. Heart disease is today's num- ber one cause of premature death or .disability. There was a time when hardening of the arteries — the reason for most heart attacks — was accepted as the price of growing old and it was 'assumed that nothing could' be done about it. Over the past ten years however, in- tensive medical research has been discovering new ways to prevent and to treat heart di- -sease, This book tells of recent medical discoveries; .how to 'plan a diet that ttdll help pre- vent heart disease or that will benefit you if you are already a heart disease patient. With this book every house- wife can have an authoritative guide for nutritious cookery aimed at' lowering the risk of heart disease in the family, The clubwoman's manual While most of the women's club meetings have been dis- continued through, the summer executive members are plan- ning for the fall and some or- ganizations start off with a new executive: Here, in your library, is a book entitled "A Clubwom- an's Manual" which is just What the title implies.

Right now, we're booked solid through July, and have only a few vacancies in August. The kids haven't slept in their own beds for so long they feel, look, and act like vagrants, I'm never quite sure what woman is going to be getting breakfast when I conic down in the morning. There have been two novel and pleasant pastimes for the family this summer, however. in both of them we're about ten years behind the rest of the country:, but that's the way we seem to operate in our family. We're so busy trying to keep up with the Smileys that we haven't time even to look around for the Joneses, let alone keep up with them. The first of our new activity is outdoor cooking A few years ago, we received a free bathe- cue set for buying ten gallons of =as, or something. We hadn't seen it since, but unearthed iL while I was looking for my waders a few weeks back. It's about 18 inches high and ten in diameter, so we don't go in for .roasting oxen, but have tried about everything else, You should see the little fain ily gathered for the evening ceremony, We don't fool around with those barbecue starters that you squirt on the charcoal. Father just throws seine gam). line on it. Then he heaves a match toward it. and everybody hits the fleck. Not one of the fancily has been blown tip Y'et, our charcoal burns with a clear, pure name, and it gives the food a certain exotic flavor. What we like about it is that it saves us from having , a big pile of (lithos to do. One of these .days, if I put too much gas on it, it's going to save us. the trouble of eating, too. How- ever, the saying on dishes is dissipated during our other nocturnal dalliance, which is watching television, We finally bought a set last fall, probably the third last family in Canada to own one, But normally we're all too busy to watch the thing. Now we watch everything. Most people are sore because there's. nothing on in the summer ex- cept re-runs, but it doesn't. bother us. We didn't see any of them the first time they ap- peared. •:•7 There are only two draw- backs to this. Watching the box makes us all hungry. By the time the late movie is over, every dish in the house is in the TV room, and dirty. The second disadvantage is that my wife falls asleep in the middle of a dandy western, and knocks off about two hours, in her chair, before we turn off the set. Then she lurches off to bed—and can't sleep a wink. Combine a roomful of dirty dishes and an exhausted, owly woman, and you'll understand why my morning beauty sleep is rudely shattered, day after day. SMILES . . The stranger stopped his car to watch an angler on the river bank, The fisherman caught a big pike, but threw it. back. The stranger said nothing. The fisherman then landed a large trout, but threw that back, also. Finally he caught a small perch and, smiling happily, de- posited it in his bag. The stran- ger was naturally curious, "Say," he called out, "why did you throw those two big ones back, and keep the smaller one?"
