S. ATKEY • A. L. COLQUHOUN Editor Plant Manager THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1948 HISTORICAL COLI:,ECTIONS n Huron County and elsewhere throitglhout Ontario, there is an increasing difficulty in obtaining first-hand infor- mation about early history and events, due to the fact that the sons of the pioneers are passing with .the years. This loss of authentic knpwledge of pioneer struggles, and the past history of Clinton and district, could be compen- sated if the community would take an interest in the forma- tion of an historical society, or, lacking this, the setting up of a local museum.• 10 very recent years, several valuable collections of relics owned by residents of St. Marys have been dissipated after the death of the owners because nobody in the town thought It worthwhile to secure them for the municipality, The St. Marys Journal -Argus comments. The editorial con- tinues that "even yet, it is not too late to make a start in this matter of securing c611ections. 'There are several good ones 'hereabouts which the owners would part' with at reason- able cost It they had the assurance that these relics would be preserved for future generations in a municipal museum where the original collectors would be given full credit for their interest." The NEWS -RECORD believes that historical back- ground is something which is very important in the upbring- ing of the youth of Canada, and that it should not be neglected in a town like Clinton. The organization of an historical society or the establishment of a museum is a task which could be undertaken by the older folk of the community. Either or both would have beneficial and lasting results in the community. Who will take the lead? 0 0 CANADA'S NATURAL RESOURCES anada's great store of natural resources is not some- thing locked away in a vault for misers to gloat about. It is a treasury of material things to be turned into useful commodities by our skill and energy. He is, however, a wise man who takes stock every once in a while to see how his inventory stands, and to learn whether he is making the best use of what he has. Every civilization rests on a different basis of resources. Adam, when forced to till the ground, was using the resources of agricultural soil; we, when we produce atomic energy from uranium, are tapping not only a deeper layer of the • earth, but of intellect. Given our vast, basic resources and the -natural energy and skill of enterprising people to ,develop tlienh, it is not surprising to find material well-being flourish- ing as it does in Canada. We had, for generations, the reputation of being a supplier of raw materials; but the space of only one gen- eration has witnessed a great change. Today Canada is not only a rich storehouse of materials but an industrial nation fabricating natural resources into usable goods. 0 0 0 WAR ON PESTS ]� declaration of war against pests was made recently on a national scale by the Junior Chamber of Com- merce of Canada. The cry to battle is being re- echoed by its member organizations from coast to coast. From Nova Scotia to British Columbia rural and urban communities are being urged to rid themselves of flies, mos- quitoes, rats, weeds and a horde of other pests which have plagued mankind for centuries. •- -� Such a campaign sihould not be taken lightly by Canadians. Pests take an annual toll amounting to millions of dollars of our food stocks. They are an insidious menace to our national health, On the surface, to most of us, they are just a plain nuisance which makes life extremely miserable both outside and inside the home. Fortunately, we are well equipped to fight a pest war today. Science has forged weapon's which our grand- fathers never .thought of; DDT for flies, mosquitoes and other insects; 2,d -D for weeds; Antu for rats. Many other 'chemicals are available and more being developed in our laboratory -arsenals. A variety of machines stand ready to apply these deadly concoctions. We have hand sprayers and dusters, power -drawn boom sprayers turbine sprayers and aerosal bombs in great quantities. Use of the airplane and helicopter for laying down lethal patterns of hug and weed killers is now out of the experimental stage. • The dawn of a pest -free world is here, Let every citizen take up "arms" in this cause. Those floundering about in a sea of technical names and formulae should seek the advice of government and commercial experts who are only too willing to guide and advise. The fight can be won—if everyone contributes some modest effort.t O 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for To -day — Anybody can be sweetly reasonable and 'thoroughly objective about anything that couldn't possibly concern nor affect him. O 0 The summer season is really booming again. And whether you notice it or not, the days are getting shorter and the nights longer. O 0 0 In. presenting 'their annual Carnival next Wednesday evening, Bayfield Lions Club can show a worthwhile record of achievement and plans for even greater activity for the community's welfare. O 0 0 . Despite'alt the obstacles which the Weatherman put in its 'way, Clinton 'Lions Club Street Frolic Friday evening last was considered a success. Net profits' were reduced, 'however, due to he rainfall duri jg the day and again .in the evening when it was interrupted while Jupiter Pluvius did 'his''best. 1n any case, the rain was grealty needed and 'brought joy to the 'hearts of farmers and gardeners: "And at the end of six months you con jo en strike for an extra fiw dollars a week."
