AUBURN NATIVE University of Guelph Department Head Retires Professor George Elwin Raith- by, widely known international- ly in agricultural circles, has announced his retirement Sep- tember 1 after eleven years as Head of the Department of Ani- mal Husbandry, OAC, Univer- sity of Guelph. He joined the Department after graduating from OAC in 1922. Prof. Raithby who comes from Auburn, Huron County, has spent a lifetime working with the livestock industry. Al- though retiring as department head, he will continue to share his expert knowledge of the livestock industry by continuing to lecture to animal husbandry and veterinary students in the coming semester. He is current- ly president of the Ontario Swine Improvement Council, The Ontario Beef Cattle Per- formance Association and the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame, and he will also continue his active role with them. Throughout his years at OAC, Prof. Raithby has won the re- spect of colleagues, students, and members of the livestock industry for his teaching and re- search. He has been widely acclaimed for his expert judg- ing and for being one of the originators of the cattle judg- ing schools. He is currently director of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and the International Live Stock Exposition and chairman of the Selective Registration Committee of Holstein -Friesian Association of Canada. Prof. Raithby's contribution to the livestock industry in Canada has been recognized widely. In 1952 he was made a Fellow of the Agricultural In- stitute of Canada, and in the same year was the official On- tario delegate to the Inter- national nternational Congress of Animal Production in Copenhagen, Den- mark. Also in 1952, the Can- adian Jersey Cattle Club estab- lished the Raithby Testimonial Silver Challenge Tray at the Royal Agricultural WinterFair. He is the author or co-author of some 50 different scientific and semi -technical publications. A successful businessman was talking to his competitor. "I said it before and I'll say it again," he declaimed. "There may be many ways of making money, but there's only one honest one." "What's that?" the com- petitor asked. "Just as I suspected, " crowed the businessman. "You don't know."

Skids Can Follow First Rain Drops The first drops of rain after a dry spell will combine with the oil slick on a highway and produce extremely dangerous conditions, warns the Canadian Highway Safety Council. The combination of new rain and accumulated oil on the road surface forms a slippery com- pound and reduces traction. A driver easily can lose control of his vehicle under such con- ditions. Oil slick is a thin coat of oil droplets deposited on high- ways by the exhausts of motor vehicles, It takes about a week of dry weather to build enough oil slick to cause a driving hazard. It is estimated that as much as 800 gallons of oil are poured by cars on each mile of highway in a single year. A prolonged or heavy rainfall will wash away the oil. However, the Council adds, heavy rain brings new perils. A rubber company in England, after a year's research found that water on a highway builds up beneath tires until, at 80 miles an hour, the car is prac- tically aquaplaning, its tires barely touching the pavement. At 40 m.p.h. on a wet road, the water starts to build up un- der the tire like a ship's bow wave. Before the tire can grip the surface of even a moder- ately wet road, it has to dis- perse between eight and nine pints of water a second. At high speeds, the tread area has about 1/150th of a second to do it. Pressure forces the wa- ter wedge beneath the contact area and soon the tire actually is riding on water. Well- worn treads will, of course, start aquaplaning sooner.
