Facts N' Fancies.
By Gwyn
‘4€e Apt addr?
One day last week the
pollution index in Toronto was
51%, yet in the Tuesday edition
of the Globe and Mail, the
manager of Eaton's Queen.Street
store was quoted as being
`gratified' that he and many
other store managers, had made
the right decision to stay open
on Thanksgiving Day for the
eager shoppers who crowded in.
So greedy are we for money,
and so concerned that business
be conducted for our pleasure
and convenience that
Thanksgiving has become a day
for store owners in the large
centres to 'thankfully' listen to
the nice jingle of their cash
registers and customers are
`grateful' they have the
opportunity to shop on their
day off.
Not even for one day could
they stay off the roads and not
add more pollution to the
already poison saturated air.
Will we ever learn?
Dr. Arthur Porter, a scientist
and authority on pollution,
speaking at Centralia College last
week, warned his listeners if
society is going to stop the
murder of our environment it is
going to have to pay a price.
We are going to have to start
asking ourselves how much
profit a venture will make us,
and consider instead, how much
bad effect it will have on our
environment.
He pointed out one of the
major problems of pollution is
the generation of electricity.
About 100 horse power is used
per day per person, and by the
end of this century, with
increased population, four times
more will be generated than
now.
As it is now 100,000,000
tons of sulphur dioxide are
the great economy; there was
not waste. Food was
cheap .... beef sold for 10
cents per pound; chickens, five
cents; turkeys, seven cents; a
loaf of bread, five cents, and
milk was five cents a quart.
"Shoes were made by
shoemakers from hides stripped
from the farmer's beasts and
tanned by the local tanner.
Wool, purchased from the
farmers was woven into blankets
and yard goods at the woollen
factory The social life
centred around the churches."
Well, you've got to admit
we've changed, but not to the
extent of the big cities.
In 100 years we haven't even
doubled our population, and we
are certainly still greatly
dependent upon our agricultural
cohorts of the district.
Perhaps this lack of
phenomenal growth or change is
our saving grace.
For may years our city
cousins have laughed at us for
living 'in the sticks,' but we have
the laugh on them at present
with no smog, little air pollution
and beautiful, clear Lake Huron
to swim in during the summer.
Recently, I heard of a man in
Huron County who was offered
ten dollars a week more to take
a job in Toronto.
"No way," he replied
emphatically.
Yes, we are the lucky ones
now but the cataclysm of
pollution sweeps ever closer.
Now is the time to join forces
in our community and fight
against this predator which seeks
breath and blood of future
generations.
poured into the hemisphere and
by the year 2000 one billion
tons of the deadly gas will be
dispensed each day.
Dr. Porter stressed our
standard of living will have to
drop and we will have to be
prepared to give up some of the
luxuries we think so necessary to
our survival. The use of many of
these conveniences are simply
spelling out a death warrant for
our grandchildren.
Scientists have been saying
this for years but who really
listens?
I wonder if we will ever be
shrewd enough to plan a
Thanksgiving Day when no
business or industry will be
conducted and be smart enough
to be thankful that for just one
day the pollution index might
drop to almost nil. * * *
There's a book in the Exeter
library called, 'I Brought the
Ages Home.' written by the first
curator of the Royal Ontario
Museum, Charles Trick Currelly,
who was raised in Exeter until
his early teens.
It's an interesting book which
deals mainly with Mr. Currelly's
adventures and problems of
equipping Toronto's world
renowned museum. However, I
was especially fascinated by the
first chapter in which he speaks
of the Exeter of almost 100
years ago.
Here is how he describes it, in
part, "Exeter at that time was a
village of about 2000, a mile and
quarter long with two or three
streets on each side of its Main
Street .. . . The comfort of the
population was largely due to

brought their best produce and
their wives vied each other with
their handwork.
These fairs continued until
1894 when an Agricultural
Society was formed in Goderich.
In 1966 the fair was revived
by a group of craftsmen who put
on a sale of local crafts for
people looking for Christmas
gifts. It was a success and this
year is the fifth sale to be held
which now attracts interested
people from as far away as
Toronto and Michigan.
The object of the Fair is to
promote the work of the local
craftsmen who make an
important contribution to our
culture.
This year Dried Apply
Artistry will be one of the main
features at the Fair, along with
the animal wood carvings of
Stuart Taylor of Nile.
L. V. Hogarth, Senior Street,
will be showing his craft of
needlepoint at The Christmas
County Fair at Carlow next
Wednesday and Saturday from
2:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Mr. Hogarth learned to do
this intricate work while lying
on his back in the old Christy
Street Hospital in Toronto after
the First World War.
Recovering from a back
injury which kept him in a cast
for five years he learned how to
manipulate his needle by looking
in a mirror.
Since then, and especially in
the last fewyears, he has turned
out myriads of beautiful work
and will have many seat covers
in floral pattern in several shades
on display at the Carlow Fair.
The first Country Fair held at
Carlow was in 1871. Farmers
