ELMS, Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, FEB. 19th, 1953 THE TIDE IS 'TURNING Referring to a thoughtful ad- dress recently given in. Goderich and reported in this paper, The Seaforth Expositor quotes from a recent editorial in The Winnipeg Free Press on the subject of the so-called "exodus". of trained Can- adians to the United States. The Free Press points out that the flow of brains and ability 'is not all one way. Statistics of this kind are not available, but from a sur- vey "it would appear that in tho present year (presumably 1952) the tallow of professional men from theU.S. will exceed 1,000, against the average of 496. In addition there -will be large num- bers of returning Canadians, many of whomwill be members of one or other profession." Men and women with talents to sell are naturally attracted to the markets where these talents will command the highest prices. Thus in Canada there is a constant flow from the towns and town- ships to the •cities, just as New York .and other large cities attract people from all over the United States. Through the years Canada has trained thousands of young which is its only salvation." The Boston Monitor has the following comment upon an historical event: "At 1 o'clock on the morning of February 10 an engine pulling twenty-seven small cars of German coke chuffed across the border into France with no stop for customs inspection and without payment of an. import tax. It was not a smuggling operation, but the be- ginning of a new era for trade in coal, iron, and, soon, steel in six nations of Western Europe. For since that hour shipments of coal, the newly formed organization for coke, iron ore, and iron have been the young men of Goderich, has crossing freely the mutual bound- a membership of over 50. The aries of France, Germany, Italy, young men have taken hold of the the Netherlands, Belgium, and ' idea with the enthusiasm which Luxembourg under the 'Schuman I betokens success.

The mayor and the town council also attended 'in a body. Mr. Melville Culbert, Dungan - non's radio expert, was rewarded for his early rising when about 4.45 a.m. he tuned in on Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Such were the wonders of modern in- vention. Another morning he tuned in on Melburne, Australia. It was thought he had established a, record on his receiving set as only two others in the province had been known to get these stations in the antipodes. 15 Years Ago Mr. Samuel Walter, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. P. Walter, Sanford Heights, who was a prominent young baritone soloist, gave a re- cital at the Heliconian Club, Tor- onto. There was not a dissenting voice when the Public School Board' met with the Collegiate Institute Board to discuss the feasibility of allow- ing the public school children to study at the new class rooms for home economics and shop work to be installed at the Collegiate for the opening of the 1938-9 term. A new suggestion of the addition of a wing to the court house to re- lieve the congestion, of office space was advanced by James Ballantyne, M.P.P. for South Huron. - — HOLMESVILLE, Feb. 17.—The W.M.S. and W.A. of Holmesville United Church met at the home of Mit Bert Trewartha, with "Friend- ship" as the theme.

Heavy pressure has been brought 'to' bear upon the Federal Government to check the import- ' ation of refined -sugar from Cuba, and it has been represented that I the growers of sugar beets in West- - ern Ontario are in. petalof losing,; their market. Mr Howe said this pressure, in which several mem- bers of 'Parliament were con- cerned, was instigatedby the • Carrada and Dominion Sugar Com- pany, which has refineries,,, at Chatham and Wallaceburg, in. • Western Ontario, and. also one at --Montreal. According—to figures given by Mr. Howe, the company's net profits, after taxes, rose from $940,638 in 1945 to $2,238,888 in 1950 and $1,779,337 in 1951, and - he suggested that the growers were not being fairly . treated in the prices paid for beets If the im- portation of refined sugar were checked to the extent of increasing I the price- of sugar in Canada by ! one 'sent' a pound,' it would mear, he aaid, an extra $5.000,000- col- lected by the company from Can- adian consumers Mr..

The Guelph Junction Railway. _ owned by the City of Guelph, paid , over $70,000 in dividends to the city in 1952—the largest amount since 1624. This large return , doubtless reflects increased traffic , due in considerable measure to record shipments of grain from Goderich over the C.P.R., which are carried from Guelph over the Guelph Junction Railway to the C.P.R. main line. Mr Howe made a pointed re- ference to Mr. McGregor, president of the Canada and Dominien Sugar Company, who has declared his purpose of making 3 public reply. This has not yet appeared at time of this writing. AB Huron' has a considerable .number of sugar beet -growers, the subject is of interest to many in thin county.
