The popularity of this annual - event is reflected in the fact that at least 86 teams wanted to take part but some of the entries were late and time allowed ouly'- so many teams in on the busy sehedule. If iniita- tion- is the sincerest form of flattery, then Young Canada Week has been definitely flat- tered. All across Canada, similar tournaments have been started for players of various agA but bone of them have reached the proportions of the one at Goderieh. Nor ,have any of these tournaments received the widespread publicity as has Young Canada \Veek. This eighth- ,annual event will be no .exception. Goderieh, through Young Canada Week, will be hitting the sport headlines in papers all across Canada—and beyond that—during the course of the next week or more. Goderich is proud of those who devote so mush of their time And talent to the staging of Young Canada. Week. It doesn't just hap- pen: there is a great deal of work and prepara- tion required to have the schedule run off smoothly. Let's do all we can to hack up the loyal and enthusiastic people who annually stage Young Canada Week. Letter to the Editor •12 Somerset St. West, Ottawa, April 14, 1957. Editor, The SignalStar— Sir—As a former Goderieh resi- dent, constantly full bf pride in what I consider my home -town, and an avid reader of your fine paper, I have been much interested in your: recent full reports on salaries for Goderich Public School and District Collegiate Institute teachers. • Am I correct in my overall im- pression that, relatively speaking, the Collegiate teachers have ended up with a noticeably more gener- ous deal than Public School teach- ers? Another point of pertinent interest, it strikes me, are there, relatively, as many of the GDCI teachers who occupy and own and pay municipal and school taxes on their own homes, as Goderieh Pub- lic Scl!ool teachers do? As a reporter for several years of educational affairs in London and in Ottawa, I quite well under- I stand all teachers' salaries being geared to their academic qualifica- tions ualifications and specialist certificates, and, also, as to length of their experience as teachers. But, I frust confess. I am somewha• t:tumped by what I understand to .� be the entirely new angle of ad- ditional ralary for Colleg.at-e teach ers for -war service." As one of your readers I would appreciate same more light and particulars 'on this angle. if possible. Noµ many other .Ontario secondary school hoards are now paying such extras? Since 1328, I have been well aware of "the veterans' prefer- ence" as to appointments to the federal government service.. I am aware also that civil servants, upon making superannuation scheme back payments, were permitted to count the years of any war service for purposes of their total govern- ment service, looking toward their ultimate retirement. But civil ser- vants have not been paid higher salaries by reason of "war ser- vice." From Owen Sound teachers' salaries I saw in a Toronto Globe and: Mail report the other day, .1 got the impression that GDCI teachers' new salary scales are considerably higher, but I could be wrong in this. Certainly Owen Sound is a city of 20,000 or so, and Goderich a town of 5,500 or so, with, of course, a rural district attached, but not an unduly popu- bus one. I have been much interested in the expansion of the Goderich kospital ands I have noted the efforts now being'made by different local groups to • provide necessary =aliment for the enlarged in-' mdbuthytt,_ It stritce6 are that, were tlti6rH$bpltitl Board to make g direct appeal through your coltumftns (news;. and/or advertising) to • all.

Editor's Note: While we do not claim to be fullybposted on details regarding the matter. of extra salary .for teachers for "war ser- vices," we think it quite conceiv- able that GDCI Etas been used as a sort of guinea pig on this matter as far as Ontario towns' are con- cerned. We understand that while this practice is in effect in some Ontario cities and that it was possibly Toronto which instituted it, it is far from a universal prac- tice in the Province. It is definite- ly a practice which is not common in other lines of work in the Province. SignalStar Classified ads result'. 0 o get Huron County Farm Report By A. S. Bolton, Asst. Ag. Rep. Cold, wet weather last week made it impossible to do anything on the land. Growth. of gran. and other plants was at a .standstill for the same reason. Cold nights and a little - sunshine during the day prolonged the run of -sap making this year, which has been a very good' one. Farmers report that a good deal 'more of bast year's poor quality hay and grain has been required to produce a pound of gain on beef cattle or a 100 of milk from dairy cattle than was the case a year ago: Local veterinarians report that digestive troubles in livestock are at a minimum this year which is probably one of the few advant- ages of a wet summer last year. • ANNUAL .
