BENMILLER E RTar EXTRA MILEAGE TEACHER SO, YEARS A distinguished teaching career of about 50 years will end in June when A. A. Naylor resigns as principal of Queen Mary ' School, Chatham, Ont. Born in Huron County 86 years ago, Mr. Naylor graduated from Goderich District Colleg- iate Institute and. Stratford Normal School. He taught for seven years in Huron County rural schools prior to becom- ing principal of Seaforth Pub- lic School. "Teaching is a wonderful job and I've enjoyed. every moment of it," he said.

Stresses Need of Municipalities For More Revenue "I want to repeat what I have said several times in this House: - our number one municipal problem is revenue to meet the ever-increas- ing needs, of our rapidly expanding communities," said Tom Pryde, MPP, in the Ontario Legislature on Tuesday of last week. "Real estate can't bear the bur- den," he said. "The bill respect- ing grants to municipalities which was introduced here this session is a step in the right direction and has been received with much satis faction throughout the Province. "Grants-in-aid are wrong in prin- ciple and I welcome this new ad- vanced approach to the subject. We all know what is happening across the Province at the muni- cipal level. It_ is: Let's get this, or that... the Province will pay 1O' , 20% or 50% of the cost. It's only human nature, and although this plan must be continued for sortie time, I welcome the new principle which has been adopted. "Why measure the needs of a municipality by its assessment, especially when the methods em- ployed have been so varied? Isn't it much better to use as a yard- stick the nuumber of human beings in a given area? My hope is that the principle will be -extended and with some system of checks and balances be adopted to schools, roads, hospitals, etc. "Insofar as the older part of Ontario is concerned, I think the number of people in a township and the miles of roads within it boundaries might be a better yard- stick on which to make road grants than the system no* employed. This suggestion may have many weajtnesses but so has the present one. "Many of our municipal difficul- ties e'ould be solved if there was a real disposition at Ottawa to come to grips with this problem and surrender some tax fields so that the provinces would be in a posi- tion to work out new deals with the next lower level of govern- ment. "The most important part of the 'budget speech of the Minister of Finance a few weeks ago was not lower income tax rates or the abolition of the radio license fee; it was his intimation that there was no intention on his part to give up any taxingfields at 'the moment." ,William Brock, 16, of Hippenj student at Seaforth High 'School, active in Junior Red I Gross work "and high in aca- demic standing; who has been chosen to attend the Coronation I in Britain as guest of the British Junior Red Cross.

This is usually the proper time to prune and that job which main - consists of thinning, shaping, letting in the light and removing weakened or dead branches, can be carried on safely from February to early June. There are a few particular points to remember. Early • flowering shrubs like the forsythia and spirea are best pruned after blooming not before, and some fruit trees, grapes and such which "bleed" excessively should be pruned very early in February or March. With orna- mental shrubbery and trees one is advised to exchange the natural form rather than shape drastically. In choosing shrubbery one should keep in mind the height of buildings and fences nearby. With the modern bungalow of the low ranch house it would be a great mistake to surround with tall things, though one or two fair sized trees, 50 or 100 feet away may add interest. It is also well to note the nature size of every shrub and tree and to allow for full development. Far too many people make the mistake of plant- ing shrubbery right up against the house wall and then wonder why it grows scraggly, if at all. These things must have room to develop. They should be at least half as far away from any fence or wall as they will be high at maturity. That means two to four feet for most shrubs in the average Can- adian climate. Another thing to avoid is planting under a sowover- lapping roof. For Winter Beauty The appearance in winter and the attractiveness or otherwise to wild life is well worth noting Not all of us live in the so-called banana belt of Canada, and must expect six months every year when deciduous shrubs and trees are bare. Because of that many peo- ple mix in a few evergreens; and they also choose some shrubs that have brightly colored bark, or ber- ries. The latter, too will interest and hold the birds. Labor Savers The . ancient man who first thought of the long handle should have a monument erected in his honor by the gardeners of the world. With some jobs like thin- ning tiny plants or getting the first and closest weeds removed in both flower and vegetable gard- ens it is necessary to bend one's back. But a long handle on rake, cultivator, spade or other tool. will eliminate much of that painful ex- ercise. Specialized` tools will also banish much drudgery, things like D -shaped Dutch hoes, three and five -pronged, hand cultivators, wheel. hoes_ for larger gardens, small tractors, wheelbarrows, leaf sweepers, power lawn mowers, sprayers, scythes and so on. Much ofthis equipment will cut hand labor as much as 90%. Keeping it sharp and clean cannot be over- t mphasized. One can work twice as fast and with half the effort with a sharp cultivator or hoe. Vegetable Layouts All that has been said about in- formality in the flower garden should be forgotten when it comes to vegetables. Here string -straight rows are essential, not only for neatness, but for getting capacity and for easing cultivation. Us- ually on the seed packet are pre- cise directions regarding width of rows and spacing. With small things like carrots, beets end let- tuce, if necessary, one can have as little as six inches between rows, though at least twice that maker things easier. Beans and peas will require a foot to 18 inches. Pot toes and corn need still more. For economy and interest, trailing • or tall things like cucumbers or tomatoes can be grown around, the edges of the vegetable plot, 'and also certain flowers for bouquets like sweet peas and, gladiolus. GODERICH AIR CADETS HEAR EX -NAZI ,AIRMAN Sergeant Eric Nasti, 28, formerly of the German Luftwaffe, was guest speaker at the monthly din- ner meeting of Goderichuadron 425, Huron Wing, R.C.A.F.A., held in the Sergeants Mess at Clinton - Airport an Thursday evening last. Nasti, now a veterinarian on the staff of the Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph, spent all of his service time on the eastern front flying against the Russians. He was captured' by the Russians in April, 1945. • J. M. Roberts, of Goderich, or- ganizer of the Huron County branch of the association, intrb--- duced the speaker. He strongly urged the members on to greater efforts to secure new members, pointing out the necessity of great- er preparedness in face of the increasingly grave international situation. President F. M. "Scotty" Wood, president of the asosciation, was in the chair with about 50 members present. LOCAL .SUPPLY OF SEED CAN NOT MEET DEMAND Lists of seed available in Huron County have been compiled and are in great demand as there is not nearly enough seed available local- ly to meet the demand, says the Huron County Agricultural repre- sentative. Quite a number of farmers in the county purchased herd sires at the recent bull sale . in Toronto. Purebred hog breed- ers report increased enquiries for breeding stock. Hatchery oper- ators report a recent increase in the sale of baby chicks.
