The Clinton News Record, 1937-01-07, Page 7'THURS., JAN 7, 1937. TJIE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD', PAGE 5 "OF , INTEREST TO YOU AND ME How many times have you written it 1937 since Friday last? New Year's Day was fine and fair and we have had several such days since. But when does winter set hi? The crew of a Russion freighter in Halifax for repairs are said to have spent the leisure hours in study. And there's no doubt that those Soviet fellows have a lot to learn. Well, we are' Canadian enough to prefer to see snow flying in January rather than dust. The dust is not flying this morning, as it is raining, and we hope it snows before it freezes -' up again. The Ontario Government is giving two weeks grace td those who must purchase license plates for their --cars': But if they are, not changed 'by Jan. 15th motorists use the old ones at their own risk. Better be safe than sorry oh, ye motorists. A Goderich minister forgot to have ' thecollection taken at last Sunday evening's service. He had announced the last hymn when the. organist re- minded hien, when he remarked: -"Well, my' forgetfulness should prove ''that the church is not always think- ing.of money." We had some lovely moonlight nights last week. A farmer near the town of Norwich got so interested in plowing a field that he ran his -tree `tor all one night, finishing up about five the next morning. He was prob- ably afraid a frost might come and interfere with the job. Plowing the ttlast week in December is a somewhat -unusual procedure, but has been more - or less a commonplace this season.' The Spanish war goes on apace. . Neither "side seems to be gaining much but a number of. men on both sides are being killed, children are being orphaned and the country is being ruined. When it is all over the Spanish people, under whatever rule, will be obliged to put their shoulders to the wheel and try to bring back at !east a part of the prosperity and comfort which they had before hostil- ities. commenced. Some university professors are now rising in their places to declare 'that spinach is not necessary as a health food. Indeed, one 'is quoted as going so far as' to state that chil- -dren can choose their own'food almost •las well as their parents. This will :be good news to the children. "Eur - rah," they will exclaim—"Let's have 'lollypops for breakfast, chocolates for ';.lunch and ice cream and chocolate 'eclairs for supper." And such a diet , might be a .good thing for then. A i day or so would suffice. They would ire glad to go back to porridge and •milk, beef stew with plain mashed 'potatoes, and bread and milk before ...going to bed. The icy streets we have to contend ?.with from time to time during the winter months, with consequent bro- ken bones and other physical injuries :suffered by many; not to mention the Joss of dignity when one sits down :suddenly on the sidewalk, in the face • of the whole town, when going se- •dately about one's legitimate busi- ness, suggests to us that something should be done about it. • Of course the town council does sometimes try to do something. Our town council puts in a load of sand when an icy time comes sends out a man to sprinkle the walks; in the business section, though in the last one, whether by accident or de - ,.sign, the walk past this office never got a single sprinkle, only what the resident businessmen puton them - 'selves. But this is very, inadequate there are always icy spots which are 'never touched, except by unwary feet, which are never covered except by the sprawling body of some unfor- tunate. • What we have been thinking is that something might be done to the soles of rubbers that would help them to grip the ground and not skid as soon =as a patch of ice is encountered. `There are things which may be fas- tened to the' heels of rubbers, but these have to, be adjusted as one goes int and out of Lire house; one cannot go stalking • into a house stabbing 'tholes •in polished floors with.spike.; in one's soles. They do give a feel- ing of safety when on icy walks, but they are hard to walk upon and rath- er inconvenient. What we have in mind, however, Is something different. Could not some gritty. material be added. to the rubber with. which soles of rubbers and galoshes are tirade and, 'a s 'they wear off, as they so soon do, this material would cone to the sur • face and render the soles rough and safer to walk .upon? It is a wonder 'some alert manufacturer . has not thought of it before now. But•, we make the suggestion and hope some- body will try it. And if some manu- facturer does and tries to boost the price of footware in consequence, let remember that the suggestion was ours. We might patent the idea, 'but if we did it would be for the pro- tection of the public. Fe should like to see the common footware of the, common folk, just like you and: me, made safe for the negotiation of icy walks, which are bound to be en- countered ;on several occasions in any (ordinary Canadian winter. It is not too late to wish our road- ers a Happy New Year. We meant to do this last week but were crowd- ed off our own editorial page. With • respect 'to the absence of drunken driving accidents on New Year's Eve, it need only be said that the effect of alcohol is the sarins on any other' evening—or any other day for that Matter—and that the way to keep up the good record is to keep up the practice of "calling a taxi" in- stead of driving after drinking. ' • —Toronto Daily Star. We :could suggest an even better way: stop drinking,• •Isn't it' a cur- ious thing that , .otherwise sensible mien will persist in a practice which they know and' admit makes them less capable of acting like sensible men, renders them even a menace to their fellow ereatures? It seems to prove thatmen have. not progressed very 'far on the road to intelligence even yet.. It is good news that a forest con- servation program is being started in Western Ontario. It is right and fitting that Western Ontario, which is .sueh a fine farming area and which has suffered severely by lack of mois- ture`during the past few years, though' not so heavily as some other areas, should seriously start such a program and it is..to be hoped that a good deal more than a start will be made. At a meeting held in London on Dec. 17th representatives • from the Essex, Tient, Lambton, ,Huron, Perth, Middlesex, Oxford, Elgin and Nor- folk counties were present and a com- mittee was appointed and arrange- ments made to interest other counties in the matter. Recommendations adopted at the London meeting included the follow- ing: 1. Th a t existing county -owned farms not suitable for farming be re- forested. 2. That a survey of river banks, swamps, hillsides and ravines be made to determine which lands were to be reforested. 3. That an educational program on conservation be circulated. 4. That an amendment be made to the Assessment Act whereby land un- der tree growth be taxed assessment valuation rather than on the basis of the crop growing on it. It is well that farmers and others are awakening to the fact that this country has been cleared too thor- oughly and that an effort is • being made to remedy the mistake. And it is to be hoped that 'every encourage- ment will be given to those who are setting about the tusk. In the early days the idea seemed to be that every acre of land should be cleared in order `to grow crops. But it was soon found that some areas were not suitable for ,growing crops of grain, Probably most of us have had knowledge of some farmers who have spent long years of heart -break- ing toil trying to wring a living from stony or poor soil which should nev- er have been cleared but should have been held in its 'virgin state until needed for timber, then re -planted to timber. But it took years to learn this lesson. The idea now' seems to be that all such lands should be reforested thus turning non-productive soil into use- fulness. This knowledge has been gained at some expense, by hard ex- perience, and it is thus of more value and is likely to be More profitably used than mere book learning. So we are hopeful of something worth- while coming of this effort on the part of Western Ontario, Good luck to it.
