Should grain continue to copse in for the bal- ance of the navigation season at the,salne rate as it has been, a total. of nearly30,000,000 bushels may be expected. If this figure i( reaehed- and it is reason- able to eXpeet it a 110vv' all-time high for the handling of grain at the port of (loderich will Enve been hit. The entry of the t'pper Lakes un•d St. Lawrence TransporUitioll Company onto the grain ha 11(11111 piettu'e here this year may mean the additional extra to set the ii)' mark.

The 'Finalleial Post draw~ at- tention to' this in a recent article. • It tells of the`'tied sales" practice of the Inited State"4 ever since the surplus grain dis- posal program started two years ago. It elaims that only during the latter part of August has Ottawa realized that the United States has been giving away surplus wheat to overseas countries in need of same ---blit requir- ing those countries to buy one bushel of wheat for every bushel that they are .given free. If this has been the ease, Canada has been losing out on its potential export market which Itas been satisfied by the United States' sharp "give-away" program. It means that United States has been having a closed eorner in the eontntereia1 wheat markets of more than a dozen countries. In protest, The 111imalteiat Post feels that, in the eyes of Canadian observers, the United >> > • ,r direct ~tate, "tied sales" agreements are 111 d eomtrav(Mt lull of obligations which the U.S. a,•eepted both ander GA:Fr and in the hood and .A,riemlture Organisation of the VN.

It is to he stoped that Canadian and U.S. ot1-ieials, who have been nleetinge. regularly simee Oetober, 1955, for ronsultations about 1'.4. wheat tiis1osal.will have this situation remedied. By so doing, it will mean Canada will have a fairer chance of exporting more of its surplus wheat. And, in turn, the port of (loderivh will be handling' just that much more wheat for export. HURON COUNTY FORTUNATE "A prophet is not without honor save ill his own country." This maxim, after a fash- ion, holds good for the Huron County 11useullt and its ingenious curator, J. II. Neill.

The aforemen- tioned attendance figures will be greatgr, by now. Further evidenee of the high regard of visitors for the Museum and Mr. Neill is re- feeted in a eolumn by John K. Elliott, editorial writer of The London Free Press. Writing &bout museums, Mr. Elliott says, "We have become conscious of our past at a time when great changes are taking plaee and the pioneer period is rapidly fading from the memory of most people- still alive." Visiting the •IIuron County Museum,. Mr. Elliott found it is "spore than a colleetion of antiquated bits and pieces."

That's a question whie11 (,oderich, too, *ill `Ive to faee before long. e • Maybe it's not partic'lrlarly unusual, but 'there have been reports of late of gangs of [boys in town going about. destroying vegetables n gardens.

We have often been asked, particularly by out-of-town people, "just where and at what do all the people in eroderieh work?" That's an interesting ques- tion, particularly at the present time To give a detailed answer to • this one, however, would require quite a bit of,researeh. A well-informed County agriculturist ('lassos t hat numerous fanners are leaving their farms for more lucrative jobs in district indtlstftes.

Right now is the open season for weather p_r'ophets. .Some one has predicted a severe winter with as much as seven feet of snow. But I)r. B. C. Weir, of Auburn, says it will be 'a Mild winter. He bases this on "the number o>f hairs in ni rays tail." This, of course, is the eharaeteristie manner in which the elderly, retired physician of Auburn expresses his belief in weather prophets. We are inclined to agree with him. But what would a lot of folks do if they didn't have the annual fall rash of weather prophesies? MISGUIDED FRIEND (By Joseph Listei Rutledge) Governments that are chosen to act for us because a Majority of us 71ave thought well of those persons That compose them +?'houldl be the, citizen'{ best friends, lrifforturiately tte tentacles of government .have a way of getting R;heniselves about our representa- Iwo until they cease to think as $if�ply ,and a5 clearly as they slid 4iefote they were elected.

Simple thinking like that aright easily save us a lot of trouble. We can understand how a reduc- tion In taxation would (almost cer- tainly result in a reduction in ices, but we can't see, so readily, stow tis could benefit government as much as ourselves. As individu- als grouped in families we recog- nize that a few cents' decline in the, price of food eotntnodities would make o vast difference in tike family budget. We don't recog- nize as easily that besides govern- ing us, government is the mead of the biggest family in the land. There are considerably aitore than a hundred and fifty thousand de- pendents in the armed Services. There are orolialuiy even More in various institutions whose inmates t . of t3 n 1;au o and Reed. 1 Y I it must � I(�d zU Ct �+A If a cent or two on. each f000c1 item ppn,thg faraUy budget, t'lit abt)ttt buds .'that-nntiayrGC eotic'r the aupport of st, ii .Sint family? Reducing taxes doesn't only cut government revenue, but also cuts a huge item of government ex- pense. Government should be made to realize • that through a steady reduction in personnel, not 4by ruthless firings but simply by not replacing those who die or are pensioned or quit or are ,diseharg- ed for cause, they could reduce taxes and prices at no hardship to anyone. That is the simple way of meeting today's complex, pro- blems.
