TOMLINSON Editor,. and Business Manager Plant Manager THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1945 NOW IS THE TIME TO REGISTER AND VOTR iciog producers of Huron County—and that means prettywell all the 5,700 -odd farmer residents in the county now have the privilege of registering, vat, ing for, and supporting by every means within their power the proposed hog marketing and processing scheme, the draft of which was pu'bli'shed in full in last week's NEWS - RECORD. Registration and voting may be accomplished at any one of the eleven meetings which are being held this week and next at various points throughout the county, and are announced on Page Seven today; directly Uhrough. the office of the Huron County Agricultural Representative, 1?. K. B. Stewart, in Clinton; or by registering and voting by mail. Under voting arrangements, Mr. Stewart is acting as deputy returning officer. It is important for hog producers to bear in mind that only those who register have the right to vote; and that only those who aotually cast their ballots in favour of the plan are supporting one of the most progressive movements in the 'history of Canadian agriculture. Those who register but do not vote, are only hindering a success- ful decision, for they are counted as being opposed to the scheme. Just one reason might be given that should persuade hog' producers where lies their duty to themselves and their country. Denmark is making a bold bid—and a reasonably a successful one too to regain the British bacon market, lost to Canada during the war. The Danes are experts at this business of producing • and marketing bacon, and :the British market cannot be held through sentiment. Quality and continuity of supply are absolutely necessary. Through the, operation of central agency, provided for under the proposed scheme, these two things can be accomplished. 0 0 $3,000,000 OVER THE OBJECTIVE Residents of Huron. County have no reason in the world for feeling ashamed of their effort in tho Ninth Victory Loan Campaign, just completed, To oversubscribe the heavy quota that was assigned by more than $3,000,000; is no mean feast, and a figure of close to $7,500,000 is a large one in any field. Every individual and organization connected'vith the drive, deserves a world of credit, and it hardly would be fair to single out anyone for individual attention in this respect. However, The NEWS -RECORD would Iike.to men- tion the names of the organizers—H. J. Vandewater, J. A. Lumsden, and J. R. Hilborn—who left little to, be desired in their part of the organizing picture. They' received fitting recognition at •the closing • get-together in Clinton Tuesday evening, eni v 1 g, and had a large part in placing Huron: ill. the ranks of the model counties. Congratulations, naturally, are in order to the Village of Blyth, which finished first and won the plaque present- ed to urban centres, and to the canvassing district of Zurich and Hay West, which stood third and was highest among the rural communities. In the group payroll savings division, Sherinck••• Manning Pianos, Limited, Clinton, should be congratulated: for standing away up on top in the county with over 365' per cent of its objective. Clinton itself, with about $200,000 more than its quota, also deserves special mention. © © 0 HURON COUNTY'S FINANCIAL POSITION The fact that Huron County was 'able to purchase $45,000 worth of V'i'ctory Bonds—$25,000 for the general .account and $20,000 for the highways account --and still show a surplus of over $4,000 at the end of the year, is - a suitable commentary on county financing, as reported at the November Session of the County Council, now in session at Goderich, County Treasurer A. H. Erskine has 'issued a financial statement for the first ten months of the year in which • he details receipts and expenditures for that period. He also estimates financial requirements for the remainder of the year. EDITORIAL, COMMENT Thought for- Today—Single girls aren't always the only ones that are looking.for a husband. © O 0 ''' Residents of 'Clinton and Huron County would do well to remember the brave feats of our men of the sea during Navy Week, November 19-25. 0 Present day prosperity in Huron County is reflected an the' fact that this year there was the smallest amount. of taxes in arrears in the county in 15 yearns as disclosed by the county tax sale. © 0 Contrary to reports, there as no restriction on the Use of guns during the open deer shoot in Huron County next week, but the use of dogs is definitely prohibited. It is to be hoped that hunters do not take 'unnecessary chances with the lives of others in using their weapons. Every hunter must have 'a deer license which costs $4, WHY,TNEY LIKE US R. J. Dcachnniu, eX41,1': for North Huron !r++..v:+y..n..nn..r.•iJ+•se...ra,n.srv.�.. Three. years ago 1 happened to meet a man from Bolivia. IIe Mut travelled all over South" Am len, much of Europe, the United States and Canaria. In the course of tho conversation I asked him 11 the people of Soutlu"America knew anything oC the Canadian people and if he had met any Canadians in South,Ameriea. His answer was: "Yes, many of then,, In fact Canadians are our favorites among the foreigners' I said; 'Why?" That was, the natural thing to say. "Well," he answered, "the British have large in- vestments in South America, they have a great deal of influence and young countries with strong national- istic tendencies, at times, look with alarm on what they feel may become a. menage..' The satin is true in, our tittitude to the Americans," We feel that both the British and Americans have the 'Big Stick,' even though they may never use it. As for.Can- adians we are glad to see them. We like the Canadian banks and Canad- ian Trade Commissioners. 'They help to increase our business with you. They never interfere with us. To the people of South America, Canadians are just one of our neighbours at the top of the world anxious to do busi- ness with us but have no desire to force us to mend our ways. Why shouldn't we like then?" Then one day, quite recently, I came in contact with a Belgian and I asked him the same question, his an- swer was very cleat: "Canadians' are our best f iends," "You see," he said, "the United • States is a great country; it is the dominant nation in the two Americas, perhaps . the strongest elation in the world. We are tremendously grateful for its help but we wonder what will happen after- wards. For the Canadians we have a profound admiration. They came in- to the war at the start, stuck with it when the going was tough. Your soldiers were nice to the Belgian people and to our children while the conflict was on and since. We need your help now but that will not al- ways be. Soon, we, too, will be able to help others who are in an even worse position than we are. Belgium and the Belgians cannot and will not forget the Canadians." An observer who spent a few days in San Francisco at the conference told me that Canadians were vers popular. Again I put the question: "Why?" Back came a similar answer. They regard us as being interested in one thing, the 'biggest thing in the world—neace, and the way to get it. They feel, as one man put it, that we have no axe to grind. They are anxious for our help. It looks as if we had heard of the Toed neighbor policy, Iiked it. tried it, made it our own. This attitude fe Canada and to Canadians rill, if it can be held, be an asset of im- measurable value in building for us more good will, broader friendsfiips, and the relationships, which come from the rea'ization that we have a common purpose, the desire for peace and the exchange, not only of goods, but of ideas. The world may be wrecked by bombs—if it is ever.saved it will be by ideas. * a 4 0 . * "IN THE' FIELD of world pol- icy, I would dedicate this nation to, the policy of the good neigh- bor—the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others—the neighbor who re- spects his obligations and re- spects the sanctity of his agree- ments ' in and with a world of neighbors."--vrom the First Tn- auaural Address of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. o .

War has taught a lot of those in uniform.— and their parents, too — to rely on telephones more than ever. Our plans are ready to make rural tele- phone service in Ontario and Quebec available to a greater number of users in the poet -war period. Much of the preliminary work already had been done when war interrupted the program extending rural telephone service. We intend to resume it as soon as the necessary materials and manpower are available.
