Old Home Week, Saturday - Wednesday, August 5 - 9, 1950 • THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1956 Throwing Blame Around DON'T BLAME IT on your Town Council' Blartie it on yourself! Thus exhorts last week's St. Marys •Journal -Argus about -the introduc • lion , of Daylight Saving Time there. It says: If there had been just one citizen of this town really on the alert this past few weeks we should not have made the unintended move (Sunday, April 23,) to Daylight Saving Time until this coming week -end (April 30). That one alert citizen could have pointed , out the mistake for which so many are blam- ing our Town Council. But why comment on an error of this type at all? Let's look on the sunny side of being on DST a week early. Remember "Mary died with a pain in her head." Well ... You,Know! FISH ARE BITING! At that call the schoolboy finds the best excuse to play hookey, the tycoon postpones a directors' meeting. It's a tocsin that brings out the Huckleberry Finn in every boy, every . man. Be he a barefoot ■ country lad with a fishing pole cut from a tree or a rich man with the finest array of tackle money can buy, there is a lure to fishing that few members of the male sex can resist. You can't describe it as a sport, nor • as a hobby; it's just a part of the boy or man himself. Most anglers are forced to confine their activities to nearby lakes or streams and con- tent themselves with the fish they find there - in; a fews more fortunate, travel great distances to see their trophies in the internationally famed fishing grounds throughout the world. To fishermen of both these classifications, On- tario appeals. Seldom is found an area which provides the angler with such unlimited scope for so many species of fresh -water fish as does this province with its bordering Great Lakes and countless inland lakes acid rivers in which abound bass, trout, pike, pickerel and muskies. Many of these fishing grounds are world fam- ous; several others lack such recognition only because they are less accessible and are known only to the more ardent anglers. So let's take time off and go fishing! Help Kill "The Killer" ARTHRITIC AND RHEUMATIC sufferers in Ontario will benefit from the successful appeal of the Canadian Arthritis and Rheu- matism Society which opened across the na- tion this week. Outpatient clinics for arthritic victims are planned for nine Ontairo areas, with mobile clinics to bring treatment into homes for two sections. Aiming at tripling existing facilities for treatment within the first year as well as in- creasing intensive research into the use of • new drugs, and providing fellowships for spec- ialized training for young Canadian doctors, the appeal's success will affect some 600,000 Canadians suffering from these baffling dis- eases, second only 'to mental illnesses as human cripplers. Contributions towards fighting this men- ace to the nation's health may be sent to Ontario Headquarters, 34 Yonge St., Toronto, or direct to the national offices of the Canad- ian Arthritis ane, Rheumatism Society in Ottawa. Practise Courtesy; It Pays! THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE of Canada is sponsoring a "Courtesy to Tour- ist" Week to coincide with the Dominion -wide "Tourist Service" Week, This campaign has the support of the Federal and Provincial Governments and the Canadian Tourist As- sociation, The dates are May 1 to 8, inclusive. The campaign is aimed at informing Canadian citizens of the value of the tourist industry. At the same time, it urges them once again to adopt the courteous and friendly attitude that was so noteworthy before the war. In 1949, 270 million dollars entered Canada via tourists. This sum represents a vital aid toward the elimination of import restrictions against goods from the United States. Every- one in Canada, not to mention millions in the United States, will benefit from this. T h e tourist industry still, relatively speaking, is in Its infancy. If all Canadians work for Its promotion, this industry will double itself within the next few years. In this world of fear and suspicion, the tourist industry can do much to unite countries in a common bond of trust ,and Bond neighborliness. These are only a few reasons why we should do all in our power to encouarge visitors to Canada, where our scenic beauty needs only the added attractions of courtesy and friendliness to keep the tourists coming. This year the campaign is based on the community level, The goal of "Courtesy Week" is to make people realize that "Courtesy doesn't cost a thing, but it is worth millions to a tourist." If practised, it can be worth millions to us. Soil Fertility A IF A FLOOR PRICE POLICY is to work satisfactorily, prices must bear a reasonable relationship to world prices unless the govern- ment implementing such a policy is prepared .to control production and prohibit import practices that are obnoxious to believers in free enterprise, according to W. P. Watson, Ontario Livestock Commissioner, in , an ad- dress at the annual convention of the Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario at OAC, Guelph. His subject was: "Facing the Future on our Farms." ' "Floor prices are within the category of a moderate effort on the part of man to tamper with the system of free entero' se, • Mr. Wat- son averred. Speaking of the Ontario farmer, Mr. Watson said that most of the land In this province has been cultivated for more than a century. A greater part, o; the soil is In a lowci state of fertility Oise it was at the beginning of , the century. If economical production is to be maintained, sell fertility shouln ue the first Prime Necessity consideration of the farmer en1 particularly the you,Te man who intends to make this vocation his life work, "It is generally agreed," he said, "that soil fertility cannot be maintained. or increased 'lnless more land is seeded to hay and pasture crops. This forces the Ontario farmer to adopt a policy of animal agriculture. Animal agriculture requires more skill and effort and perhaps pr»slants more hazards than any other type of f.'i ming , , Througeo,tt the years it has been easier to sell a goal product than ar peat one and moreover the high quality pi Wild has always commanded a higher price. In the. I'i al analysis, bar: i.3g arr ficiel price supports, the consumer det-;mines the price As a consequence, cost of production is of greater significance than market price in that the producer can exercise a greater degree of control over that factor ...The farmer must determine which factor has the greatest in- fluence on p• eduction costs." 0 From Our Early Files 25 Years Ago THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD Thursday, May 7, 1925 George Swarts died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Clara Rum - ball, in his 92nd year.

Attended Music Festival Music enthusiasts from this community attended the festival at Goderich several times last week, On Tuesday, S.S. No, 3 took part in choral singing, do - Inspector Vernon Page is boss of the Toronto Police Traffic Division. In regard to drunk drivers Inspector Page says: "Drunk 'drivers are a greater menace every year." The sta- tistics bear out the Inspector's judgment. In 1945 in Toronto 453 drinking drivers were in- volved in accidents. In 1949 the number had increased to 826. In Sweden they have coped successfully with this menace by giving the police power to make blood alcohol tests on all drivers. It the alcohol percentage is above the equivalent of one medium drink of whisky the driver is sent to jail. The Huron Temperance Federation asks for this drastic action. 1E -b rtese;geesae«e:»;s..artltieser« e for Mother's Day Sunday, May 14th Make our store your place to choose that gift for Mother.
