AR DECLARED ON
COUNTY RATS, MICE
Cenenencing on Monday of last
week and extending to January 19,
Huron County is going to be a
tough plateLe forrate and mice to
hop, for any degree of longevity.
A "Rat and Jyiouse Control Cam-
paign" conducted by Huron Coun-
ty Junior Farmers is aimed at de-
creasing the County population of
them ley et considerable number.
Everyone an the County is asked to
make a special effort during the
aforementioned period to exterm-
inate its many as possible of the
pests.
The following article has .been
prepared by the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture at Clinton in
connection with the campaign:
Rat infestations are 000mnonly
astsociated with poorhbnrsekeeping
— dilapidated buiiltlings, refuse
piles, litter, debris, untidi.nees even
slovenliness. To some extent, good
fanners hesitate to admit—even to
themselves—that they've seen one
or two rats around their buildings.
Most of us feel a rat infestation
is something to be ashamed, of.
Recently, tests were carried out
by the O.A.C. to see how serious

the rat problem is on Ontario
farms.
These rfests showed that rats and
mice are e a far more �ri
ou
� Prob..-
lean than most of us liketo be-
lieve. They also showed tefalese-
ness of thinking that a rat infest-
ation is ,always associated with
slovenliness.
These tests were carried out on
67 farms in Waterloo- and Grey
counties. efore the tests, many
of the farmers thought they didn't
have any rats t all. Most of these
farmers,, are good managers, their
barns are in geed cendttion, free
from piles of • refuse, litter and
debris. No rats—, or }only a very
few—had been seen around the
buildings and very little rat dam-
age has beeil seen. It seemed un-
liltel�y 'bhet rats or mice could the
a p1em.
The results of the tests proved
to be startling. Significant infest-
ations were found on `every one of
the 57 farms` Even the "cleanest"
showed 'good numbers of rats or
mice present. The total rat ,popu-
lation on these fauns was estim-
ated to be 2,300 rats, 1,500 mice!
-- If these tests can be taken as
representative of the whole pro-
vince—and many people feel they
can be—it is evident that rats are
a problem'in `almost every farm in
the province—even the best!

OUT QM A LIMB
WITH BILL SMIL V
Was reading an ai'tiele the other
day called: "`Are Teenagers Peo-
ple?". That's a good question. A
lot of parents of teenagers would
beinterested, its a straght "yes"
or "no" anter.
4t
We think we have trouble with
our sprouts, who are nine and, five
years old. But Mends of oars evho
have teenage children, warn us that
we don't know the horrible fate
that lies ahead. Their eyes glazed,.
features haggard, and mouths
twitching, they look •ba k , with
longing on the days when their
kids were small enough to beat
when they got out of line.
r 4 r
I can tell you right now that
when my kids get to be teenagers,
they're • not going to push me
around, as so many of them do
their parents. And I can tell you
something else. They're not going
to push their mother around either.
Not unless she's slowed down a
whale of a lot.
This firm statement of policy re
.mire`s me, and will probably prove
as effective, as the one I made to
friends before I got married. "By
the gollies," I swore, slapping my
hand firmly on the bar, "no dame
is going to push me around, if ever
I'm silly enough to get married."
As it turned out, she cock n't have
pushed me around more often or
more easily if I'd been in a wheel-
chair.
., * *
But to get ,back to teenagers.
Don't you think there's far too'
musch poppycock written about
them? Everybody from the earn-
est and slightly dim lady social
worker'to the eminent and learned
psychologist feels compelled to ex-
plain the 'teenager to us.
* , *
Personally, I don't want teen-
agers explained to me. .I'm not in-
terested in them, any more than
they are in weekly editors with re-
ceding hairlines and bags under
their eyes. I know they're going
through a difficult period of -life,
but they don't have to be so smug
about it.
• m
I was a teenager once:. And I
was just as frustrated, rebellious,
lonely and all that 'stuff as today's
teenagers are supposed to b You
think anybody cared? Not oScour
life. For some reason, young peo-
ple, as teenagers were called in
those days, were not nearly as Sas-
ii1'i:,g,er.-i: eeld�ezis:as.lhey-
axe`ioty.s- , R
Some people get' annoyed be-
cause teeenage b6ys today wear
duck,bail `haircuts and black leather
jackets. That's easily understood.
When you're going through adoles-
cence, you feel so gawky that you
want to look exactly like everybody
else, only mores..
* * * r,:
In my day, not many parents
could .buy leather jackets for their
teenage sone. But essentially we
weren't much different 'from to-
day's model. We affected pipe -
smoking, feequented the poolroom
and 'concealed .a burning interest
in the opposite sex under a proper-
ly disdainful indifference.
-1 * ::: ,.
We too hung around in packs,
pounded and shoved each other for
no reason -and had a sadistic dis-
regard for each other's finer feel-
ings. We too were 'more interest-
ed in sport than study, in girls
than graduating. We too suffered
the agonies of the damned from
bad complexions and unrequited
love.
* 4 4
The teens are a wonderful and
horrible period- of life. At no time
does a person undergo such rapid
changes. There is no comparison
between the 13 -year-old and the
19 -year-old, yet we lump there all
as teenagers. I remember, when
I was 17, I was learning to dance,
and 1 was so awkward and shy I
nearly fainted a couple of times,
from sheer embarrassment. When
I.was, 19, I was dating the French
teacher in high school. That gives
an idea of the rapid progress, or
something, made by the average
teenager.
*
But you grow out of it. You
leave the teenagers conformity of
camouflage for the adults of cow-
ardice. You grow into a pillar of
the community, and sit around
shaking your heads over those
young devils of teenagers.
* 4 s+ c
We sad that youngsters have to
leave their teens,—themost eager,
poetic, vibrant period of their
lives. But it's also a good • thing.
The 'World would be u,nbearable if
nobody grew out of their teens.
Although, come to think of it,
Anthony Eden and Colonel Nasser
might be a lot better off sitting
around a jukebox listening to Elvis
than waving war clubs at each
other.

Topics ranging from the Cana:d
Temperance :fit to the salaries
jai; employees held the attention
of Huron County Council as Nov
hsaber' sessions came to a close
ere last T1)ursdtay. o .
Council approved the ex.et utivc
committee's recommendation that
salary increases he. granted to
members of the Huron County Jail
staffs, effective in 1957. The resoitl-
tion called for an across-the-board
increase of $200 annually for male
employees and $100 for the matron.
The recomanendatiton was made
in answer to a letter from Joiil
Governor R. W. Be�11, who request-
ed a general 25 per cent increase
for the staff.
Another executive committee re-
eommendation that $6,000 be grant-
ed to,Clinton Public Hospital was
also approved by Council. The
hospital requested the grant to
help make up a $12,604 deficit
arising out of its building and re-
modelling program.
The C.T.A.
Reeve Norman &cbins, of Sea -
forth, brought the Canada Temper-
ance Act to the attention of Coun-
cil briefly. He asked, "In what
manner can we back up the Junior
Chamber of Commerce of Goderich
in petitioning to do away with the
Canada Temperance Act?"
A. H. Erskine, county clerk -treas-
urer, replied that he was not cer-
tain but he thought that 50 per
cent or more of the county's resi-
dents would have to sign a petition
before Ottawa could authorize a
plebiscite. There was no further
discussion of the matter.
Addressing a question to County
Assessor Alex. Alexander, Reeve
Scoins 'Wondered if 'mobile homes
could be taxed for public school
purposes. The assessor replied
that the Ontario Municipal Act
allows municipalities to set trailer
license fees, which often amount
to about the same as taxes on a
small home.
Three Huron County municipal-
ities, including Goderich Township;
have' passed by-laws whereby it is
possible to set fees no. higher than
$10 monthly on mobile homes, he
said.
On School Boards
Council approved the appoint-
ments of Gerald Ginn and Dr. J.
A. Addison as county representa-
tives on the boards of Goderich
District Collegiate Institute and
Clinton District Collegiate Insti-
tute respectively.
Earlier in the session, the act
governing such appointments was
explained to Council by J. H. Kin-
kead, of Goderich, inspecter sof
public schools.
In most cases, the county an -
Points -one representative. - But, if
second ry ..sghoai y: ' -61-
ointt two more representatives.
Council concurred with a Simeoe
County Council resolution that ade-
quate supplies of feed grain be
transported to Ontario before
winter sets in. it was decided to
endorse a Middlesex 'County resol-
ution that coarse grains be remov-
ed from Wheat Board conttrel.
An Oxford County resolution,
opposing the licensing of farm
tractors, was also endorsed by
Council.
Reeves Work Hard
Before the session closed, Reeve
a J. U. Graham, of Goderich, made
are some observations based on "18 or
19 years in municipal 'life."
At times, be said, there has been
talk in the streets, and even in
the press, of doing away with'
t onin'by 'councils.
dVl'aking 'it clear that lie dis-
agreed with this school of thought,
Reeve Graham stated, "11 there is
any, hardworking group, it is the
reeves. And I think they do more
work, lose more 'of their own time
and Barry more responsibility than
any other elected body."
:Ile added, "It is 'generally the
pick of council that comes up to
be reeve."
The chairman of the property
cottnnmitttee, Reeve Orval Taylor, of
East Wawanosh Township, paid
tribute to +Mr. Erskine, the county
Clerk -treasurer. He said that Mr.
Erskine had beer. "'a tower of
strength" to his committee.
Later, on behalf of county of-
ficers, Mr. Erskine thanked council-
lors for their co-operation through-
out the past year.
Hugh Hill, a former reeve of
Colborne Township, visited the
closing session and addressed
Council briefly, recalling the.days
when he himself was a member.
Close to $400,000,000 was spent
on advertising in Canada during
1954, according to official figures.
This is almost four times as large
as the total in 1944.
