Give Until It Hurts!
GENERALLY SPEAKING, Oritarians ate
reasonably well informed regarding the rav-
ages of the disastrous flood in Manitoba, and
naturally, will be glad to know that, the
boisterous Red River is falling -even if only
a few inches a day.
- But our part -as Wellow-Oanadians-s yet
- to be accomplished. We must buckle down
and 'support the Manitoba Flood Relief to the
very ,best of' our. ability.
The Boy Scouts have done a good job in
their canvass • of the Town of Clinton, but it
has been brought to our attention that through
one reason or another, many well-meaning
citizens have been overlooked in the canvass.
Now, that 'pan be rectified quite ,easily,
as there are four' places in Clinton where
funds may be left -Tho Royal Bank, Bank ofi
Montreal, Pelice Office and Town Clerk's Of-
fice. Do not delay longer!

Protecting Our Fish
THE RAPID GROWTH of 'anglers and
hunters' associations in Ontario during the
past few months would indicate that sports-
men are becoming increasingly aware of the
need for an organized and active effort to
protect the fish and game resources of the
Province.
The activities of Huron. Fish and Game
Conservation Association and affiliated clubs
throughout the County definitely would sup-
port that contention.
The Ontario Department of Lands and
Forests is quite happy about the situation,
fpr it is recognized that only through the
efforts and cooperation of the sportsmen them-
selves can the Department's task of conserv-
and Game Resources
lag: the forests; game animals and fish, be
carried ' out properly.
Among the " jobs the members of these.
organized groups have undertaken an their
own, are the reforesting of waste land -such
as done bythe local club; improving of trout
streams; voluntary fire and game warden work;
assisting inthe distribution and planting of
young hatchery -reared fish and game birds;
and', obtaining data and information on fish
and ajame for use by government biologists.
The clubs can and are doing much work.
in educating their own members and the public
generally to the need for wiser use of natural
resources through the medium of public meet-
ings and the showing of films.
Clothes Washed
THREATENING TO STEAL the show when
Canada's third International Trade Fair opens
in Toronto May 29 is a radically new washing
machine from Australia, reports The Financial
Post. 'The machine, making use of ultrasonic
waves, dispenses with soap :or other c, .leaning
agent, is claimed to do a 14 -pound wash in -15
minutes or less, and it could be produced in Can-
ada to sell here for $101 The Australian -made
model could be imported to sell in Canada
for $55.
By Sound Waves
Outwardly the revolutionary machine
looks like a standard washer, but there are
no moving parts inside. The washing is ac-
complished by vibrations transmitted through
the clear water from a small box with a
patented airlock, The Post reports.
The export manager of a Toronto appliance
firm says he used one of these machines when
he was in Australia recently, and their cost
of operation is fantastically cheap -one Aust-
ralian penny '(2% cents) for 100 hours.
Where Inflation Hurts
(Hamilton Spectator)
IN THE PAST FEW DAYS there has been
'e flare-up of a familiar inflation malady.
Every one -that is every one who con produce
a spokesman :has been blaming some group
or otherfor the stubborn refusal of prices to
ease off, while inviting pity for those who
pay the shot,
It opened with V. S, Milburn, secretary
of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, an-
nouncing that the "farmers of Canada will
have to insist that labour and industry cease
demanding pay,end profit increases . . . Farm-
ers are the only people in the nation whose
income is being reduced . . . Labour is de-
manding and getting higher and higher wages,
which results in higher production costs for
the farmer."
On the heels of this Dr. 3, R. Mutchmor,
Secretary of the Board of Evangelism and
Social Service of the United Church, came
out with a vigorous -and quite understandable
-plea for "Canada's new poor."
"These new poor," he declared, "are aided
by the family allorhnance but with the food
dollar at 48 cents that aid is only a fraction
of the amout required to make both ends
meet. To the new poor, driven into the low
income bracket by the greed of industry, la-
bour and farm groups, are to be added the
pensioners, the. unemployed, the too -old -to -
work -at -45's, the handicapped, and the reliefees,"
A union leader promptly came back with
the retort that there would be no "new poor"
if they organized and made higher demands
on the community for their' services,
Nothing - not even a mouse -like tremor
from Ottawa- emerged in public print to
suggest that the already dangerous inflation,
Which is the inevitable price of war, can be
made a lot worse end the new poor a lot
poorer and more numerous, if the fallacy of
more 'money for less production is not finally
grasped by the public mind. Whether cur-
rent "demands" are fair or unfair, morally
good or bad, there is no way of denying that
the most strongly organized and secure groups
are at the moment making the heaviest orders
on the economy, or that the 48 cent food
dollar (accurately estimated by Dr. Mutchmor
in comparison with its 1939 buying power) is,
in the estimation of some farm spokesmen,
not low enough. They think food prices
should be higher. Yet food is a vital cost of
production factor in industry. One man's
return is another man's cost. Trade can't be
disguised by money jugglery,
It is lunacy to suggest that those who
have been so brutally punished by inflation
can gain by the pouring of . a new flood of
cash into the system; it 'is like hoping that
the now swollen Red River can be brought
to normal levels by heavy rainfalls. The cure
for inflation is not more inflation; such a
trend is an invitation to a shattered dollar,
to production costs that can be soon reflected
in unemployment, inability to compete with
oatside exporters (of which there are already
sharp hints) and further frustration.. Some-
how prices must be adjusted to . expand
purchasing. '
Inflation is, a disease that can be con-
trolled only so' long. There has never been
one yet that did not boomerang. It is the
severity .of the correction that should now con-
cern Canadians. They should at least be saved
from senseless announcements from: Ottawa
about the dollar value of our. "gross national
product" -which only measures the shrinkage
of the purchasing value of the dollar and not
the output of goods which are getting out of
the reach of so many people. It is these mis-
leading assurances, as much as anything else,
that have encouraged a menacing self-deception
on a national scale,

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
Temperance people in Huron
County are amazed and indignant
at discovering that the Red. Cross
and the Crippled Children So-
ciety are using space in a Huron
County paper, contributed by
John Labatt Limited. We would
like to know who is responsible
for prejudicing these good causes
in the minds of all temperance
people by this association with a
brewery. Everyone can see .that
the nenigs of responsible citizens
and reputable organizations 'are
being used as false fronts for
liquor advertising. No cause that
wants the support of temperance
people can afford such co-opera-
tion with the liquor traffic. 21-b
