L. COL(UHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY,. NOVEMBER 9, 1950.' • 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.

Trains of such weight and speed- cannot he stopped within the short distance necessary to avoid collision with a motorist who may have decided to indulge in one of the many, hazardous practices which brought death to 140 and injuries to 549 others in 443 railway crossing accidents reported to the Board of Transport Commissioners for Canada during the 12 - month period, ended June 30th. Cars stalling in the path of 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! for costumes: Boys' comic under 10—Daryl Farquhar, Jerry Reid; special—Eddie. and Freddy Mock.

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."
