"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.
