Be Sure It's A Deer, You'Aim Atr''
• ter of going half -way..
NOW THAT there. is to be a short open
deer season in the Township' of Goderich on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 16,
17 and _ 18, it is \Imperative that sportsmen
taking advantage of tfie privilege of hunting
so close to home should respect thoroughly
the conditions under which the open` season
has• been granted.
The Township Council has laid it down
that only residents of the Township and tax-
payers who live outside the Township, are
eligible to purchase a deer licence from the
Township Clerk, This may appear to be a
hardship to many hunters from outside the
Township who would like to take part in the
three-day hunt, but• actually it is just a mat
0
.As a matter of feet, it probably is a good
thing that a township so well populated with
deer should have a short open season, but
it also is essential that the hunt of five years
ago should not be repeated, On that occasion,'
It will be recalled, even cattle were shot and
there were many narrow escapes on the part
of• hunters and residents. By restricting the
hunters to residents and taxpayers, it is hoped
to keep danger to a minimum. The fact that
shotguns only are allowed should react fav-
ourably on this side of the picture.
Our. simple words of advice to those who
are fortunate enough to be in on nexteweek's
hunt are: "Be sure it's a deer you aim at!"
Agriculture In Canada's' Economy
maximum efficiency with minimum effort is
a problem of the utmost nicety.
Just es agriculture is at the base of all
other prosperity, so 'agriculture depends upon
all other industry for its state of well-being.
Only in an environment of•high level employ-
ment, abundant production,• and high purchas-
ing power can farming be a profitable pursuit.
Because of ;limitations in the home mar-
ket, Canadian farmers are dependent on ex-
port trade. . Any attempt to keep their income
at a high level requires maintaining exports
at 20 to 40 per cent of their production. Farm-
ers have high interest not only in the normal
functioning of the Canadian economy, but also
in an expanding world economy, and therefore
in world peace.
This introduces one of the most provoca-
tive of problems. It is easy to say "The more
we buy from other countries, the' more they
can buy from us." But whet we sell then}
depends upon the bargains we offer. Our
prices must be in line with those avail'a'ble
in the world at large, and this compels us to
keep costs as low as possible if we are to
realize a satisfactory net income.
There are many countries where, if they
had the purchasing power, Canadian wheat
and meat and fruit could be 'used to advant-
age. To develop them into markets is the aim
of sections of the United Nations, of President
Truman's point four programme, and of the
gifts and loans made so munificently by
Canada,
FARMING is everyone's business, not only
because' it furnishes our daily food but be -I
cause it is the base deo many industries and
so much of Canada's trade and commerce.
Agriculture is our most important single
industry. It employs a guarter of our gain-
fully occupied' population. The economic wel-
fare of the whole nation is affected by changes
in farnn income and purchasing power.
City people have quaint ideas about farm
life. They see a farmer living in his own
house, without rent to pay, growing ' a big
part of his own food. He is free to work as
and when he pleases. He need never fear un-
employment.
. These things are true, comments The
Monthly Letter of The Royal Bank of Canada,
but the impression turns out differently if
we follow a successful farmer around the clock.
Success in farming is the result of clear think-
ing and skillful management, and a great deal
of hard work.
The man on the farm is the force that
welds land end equipment into a producing
unit. He plans his crop rotations, attends to
, the fertility of his soil, balances his livestock
programme with the feed available, controls
expenses, uses labour and machinery effic-
iently, and finds his market. I
That is. a complex business. The changes
wrought in fanning during even one lifetime
are astounding. Today's farmer must be able
to use and maintain power machinery, hire
and supervise labour, obtain and manage large
amounts of capital, control expenses, attain a
balance, between all phases of his farm's busi-
ness, and apply his own physical energy as
his fathers did.
Not all this is to be learned in books.
Farming is an ancient occupation. It has
gathered round it a vast fund of wisdom and
skill, transmitted from father to son on the
thin air of oral tradition or of living example.
We must not underestimate the Worth and
power of this body of rural lore and technique.
There are probably no instruments known
to any craft which are more perfect in their
adaptation, with more fine points upon which
Success or failure depend, then the simple
implements of modern farming. The shaping
of the mouldboard of- a plough so as to give
Milk Goes Up
THE PRICE of milk in Clinton •has ad-
vanced another cent a quart, to 19 cents, with
pints at it cents, bringing it up to the London -
Toronto level. The breadwinner of the large
family is entitled to the utmost sympathy, as
milk is ..considered an essential food for' grow-
ing youngsters.
We are not prepared to say whether or
not the jump is justified ,by increased costs
of production. Probably all those benefitting
by the Increase will tell you that it is, so
there wouldn't be much need to ask them.

Board of Transport Commissioners for Canada during the 12 -

trains, motorists attempting to beat the train to the crossing and
misjudging the distance, motorists who drove into the sides of
moving or stationary trains apparently as the result of impaired
visibility or misjudgment of speed and distance, all contributed
to the mounting crossing accident toll. Remember, a ear can
stop quicker than a train. ' Give the big fellow the right of way!

Believed to .be the first of its
kind in this part of Western On-
tario, a Drama School will be
instituted in .Wingham this 'Fri-
day, November 10. The course
's a four weekend affair .with
.instruction given Friday night,
Saturday afternoon and night.
Beginning this Friday, the Drama
School runs consecutive week-
ends until December 1 and 2.
Instruction'• will be- given by
Art Clare of the Ottawa Little
Theatre, who 'is said to apprec-
iate the needs of small groups
such as those in this district. Mr.
Clare is well known in /Canad-
ian theatre both as 'an amateur
and professional.
The Wingham Recreation Coup-,.
cil, sponsors of the course, in co-
operation with the Community
Programs Branch of the Ontario
Department of Educations invites
all interested groups or their
representatives within a 35 -mile
radius of Wingham. A similar
course in St. `Thomas last year
drew representations from points
75 miles distant.
The lectures and demonstra-
tions - of their application will
stress: organization, directing
technique, stage management, and
acting technique. Registration
fee is two dollars (one dollar
for high school students).
"A good basic course in drama,
such as this, has long been need-
ed in small ,conununities," says
T. A. Leishman. London director
of Community Programs. "We
hope, that as many people as pos-
sible will take advantage of the
opportunity to participate in such
a 'course right in their own
district."
