EDITORIAL NOTES
Again a reminder to the reader
that if he wishes' to vote on the
10th of August he should be sure
that his name is on the voters'
list. Last chance for this assur-
ance is the 'sitting of the revising
officer on the remaining days of
this week. And in this case '`lit"
means "he or she."

A Toronto Telegram columnist advanced for the crowd here to
looking about in a poorer part- of be able to view the races in corn -
the city "noted a group of six
slummy -looking homes. ... The
front yards were about ten feet
square and the only vegetation
was weeds. We thought how
miserable it must be to exist in
such drab and depressing sur-
roundings. Then we happened to
glance aloft. Five of the six
homes had TV aerials." This may
be evidence of a wPong expendi-
ture of money; but the people
in those five homes might be able
to state some justification. Strug-
gliing towards better conditions,
they may have resolved to get out
of life as much enjoyment as pos-
sible as they go along, awaiting
an opportunity to move into a
better neighborhood where they
could hold up their heals without
television. It is not every family

J. A. Vance Construction Com-
pany, of Woodstock, which had the
contract for rebuilding 300 feet
of the south breakwater, was busy
at work tearing down the old
superstructure and getting ready
for the new construction.
Good progress was being made
on construction of the new grand-
stand at Agricultural Park, and it
was expected that, while not com-
pleted, it would be far enough
tion to "do without" and save
every cent possible until they can
live in better style. Perhaps if the

Glen Tunney, popular pitcher
for the Goderich Black Sox, played
one of his best games" of the sea-
son when the locals defeated the
Kitchener Intermediates by a score
of 52. With one out and the
bases full in the ninth inning,
Tunney struck two out to end the
game.
20 Years Ago
War veterans from all parts of
Huron County gathered at Clan -
and un-
gregor
a newmemorial to those
who lost their lives in World War
I. The memorial, a cairn, was
built by George and William Wes-
ton, two Bayfield men. An inset
in the cairn was a bronze tablet
bearing the names of eight men
of the community who lost their
lives in the war.
A modern operating table was
presented to Alexandra Marine
and General Hospital by T. T.
Emmerson in memory of his bro-
ther, the late Dr. Emmerson. The
ceremony took place at the hos-
pital with Dr. W. G. Gallow making
the presentation on behalf of the
donor.
A married man haled into court
for failtire to buy a dog license
told the magistrate that if he had
followed his best judgment he
would have had the dog destroyed,
but his wife objected, laying down'
the law that if he killed the deg
he would get out and stay out.
He heaved a deep sigh and 'de-
parted with three dollars.
15 Years Ago
At a meeting in the County
Clerk's office the property com-
mittee decided on a program of
work of which one of the most
important features was the instal•
latlon of a new heating plant in
the jail replacing the old, inade-
quate and worn ' out furnace. The
committee also ordered that new
flooring be laid in the magistrate's
office and that worn out blinds in
the Court House be replaced.
A terrific rain and wind storm,
accompanied by flashes of lightn-
ing, struck the district -leaving in
its wake a swath of damage in an
area a few miles south of Goderich.
Trees were uprooted in Goderich
Township and roofs were torn from
some barns ill the Bayfield district.
Two. Colborne 'T'ownship youths
showed up well against riders of

Leading' the fight against the in-
sect hordes is a group of profes-
sional men known as entomolog-
ists. Their knowledge of -the - habits
and life cycle of insects has pro-
vided agricultural chemists with
information of prime' importance
in the development of weapons for
insect control. Many insecticides
came into general use only after
entomologists had supplied chem-
ists with the facts about the
"enemy."
The ground work- of the entom-
ologists was largely responsible for
the successful grasshopper control
program in western Canada. They
preceded the planes in the large-
scale aerial spraying of forests in
New, Brunswick this year and in
1952 to combat the voracious.
spruce budworm. They are un-
covering the breeding places of the
great locust swarms which have
ravaged for centuries.. several areas
of Eurasia and Africa. Their pre-
diction of possible insect infesta-
tion by egg counts the year before
has made its possible for industry
to prepare insecticides fora forth•
coming year's campaign. -
But the entomologists are not
interested solely in killing .bugs.
Many are working on the propoga-
tion of useful insects like . bees.
