HISTORIAN. ARE
SCARCE
With our thoughts on the com-
ing centennial in Turnberry Town-
ship we at The Advance -Times have
been clevOting a good deal of time to
the search for historkal material in
connection with the earlier times in
'the. township. 'Without the. assis-
tance of a few friends in Turnberry
we would be lost.
• Not only do we find that history,
once temporarily forgotten, iS very
- .hard' to recover. We hear the same
sidey from those who are trying to,
• do the task in their own areas. Yet
stian kely enough almost .every resi-
dent of the municipality is intensely
interested in the bits and pieces of
' history we have published.,
In-c*.raluablein this search for the
annals of the past.is the odd older
• resident whose memory is.still. keen
enough to permit a recounting of
stories of the earlv days.
in this partof Ontario, there are.
no persons living 'who can rernember
the earliest days settlement, so
the tales of the 'pioneers .and, their, -
experiences` are those which •come
second hand". Fortunately we still
•Oe ionic oder folks who TeMerfiber,

If is not too difficult to discover , 7
the Skeleton' of local history, as far
as dates of incorporation and. such
Ittters are concerned but the 'sort-
- ,Iiistory- which truly portrays the
•lives our forebears lived is contained .
in the more intimate tales of their
-aily lives -- the be.ar hunts, the
logging bees, the barn •raisings and
th many other tasks into which
they threw themselves With so,much • ',
vigor.
; It is likely that our own gener-
ation leave behind a much read: -
able hikory, for since the daysof
our grandfathers many modern in-
ventions have provided the tools for
automatically recording our daily
COniings and goings. Not only is
there the caniera„ both still and -
movie, but there is the tape recorder
which will capture the very tones of
our voices for the edification of fu-
ture generations.
It is to be IkiPed that those' peo-
ple of an unborn age will feel we
have been worth looking at and
listening to.

accomplishing greater things today
than' it did stx or seven ,years ago.
The wide variety of subjects
which have been introduced for dis-
cussion anti the searehing scrutiny
farm people have devoted to these
questions has been a never-ending
source of interest to us, Groups such
as these are the best possible sign of
health in nation which subscribes
to democratic priniciples and the
freedom •of thought and •actipn
which our type of self-government
promises.
It has been evident from the be-
ginning of the :Forum movement
that farmers, like all other humans,
never agree wholeheartedly on any
articular phase of Ark argument,
hank goodness that is so, because
the discussion of divergent views has
led to a spirit of tolerance and un-
derstanding of the other fellow and
his outlook. The ability to talk over,
withmIt heat or rancor, the -common
problems of the day has certainly led .
Forum members to a more informed
and intelligent stand when matters
of either national or local interest
are brought up.
The fine results which have been
achieved by the Farm Foruin actu-
ally lead to the thought that some
such movement for townsmen world -
filI a:big need.
NEW FUEL TAX HAS
WEAKNESSES
Like most pieces of new legis-,
lation,' the Ontario Government's,
tax on diesel and such other oils
which can be4usedin motor vehicles,
has left a number of undesirable
loopThales. And since the tax: is a,
very stiff 20c a gallon, the gaps are
Rely to prove very annoying until
revisions in the .act can be made.
For instance, the new regulations
call for payment of the Per -gallon
• tax on all purchases -of furnace oil,
• •die:sei oil, etc., if it is delivered into
containers which are not directly
connected to the apparatus in which
• the oil is to !be burned. This' 'eaves
the user of an automatic oil -fired
furnace well in the, clear, because his
• tanka'are :connected to the furnace
—.:but there are many purchasers of
furnace and stoire 'oil who have the
tanks. delivered into drums which.
. are pot connected directly
thing ait all. They are the people
who have 'found that - these heavier
oils' burn just as well -in their space .
heaters- .as the much mare costly
stove oil and distillate. As a result
they -will be forced to cough up 20c
per gallonin tax on a fuel which
costs less than that amount in the
first place.-
They.can; of conrse; apply for re-
bate of the tax, but it will take some
high financing until the rebates are
made:•
On the other hand stove Oil, dis-
tillate, kerosene and coal oii are not
taxable' unless delivered into tanks
directly connected to a, motor v,e-
hicle„ This is just dand-y for the
owner of the older -type diesel pow-
ered vehicle who has been using one
of these higher grade fnels all along
to get proper performance out of his
motor. Nciw he can take delivery of
stove oil in 45-gaIlon drtups for use
in his tractor without a worry a.bottt
the troublesome tax..
These points in the legislation
will no doubt be rectified in the
course of time, but they will be
somewhat annoyffig in ttie interval.
