er's magazine.
She warned more than 400 attend-
ing Huron County Federation of Agri-
culture annual banquet in Seaforth on
Tuesday evening, "we are organizing
ourselves right out of our homes."
The Novelist and poetess stress-
ed both husband and wife's responsi-
bility in malting home life a success.
She said a home must, be healthful by
having more health education literat-
ure, and should be artistically satisfy-
ing, morally wholesome and spiritual-
ly inspired.
Free medical examinations for all
Canadians were urged, as . were
scholarships for medical students to
go into rural areas. '
"This would bring back the fast -
disappearing race of country doctors,"
Miss Chapman said.
Included at the head table were
Rev. A. W. Gardiner, Johri Hanna,
MPP for Huron -Bruce; Mayor Merton
Reid if Seaforth; Reeve A. Nicholson.,
Tuckersmith, and chairman •of the
RCAF; William Anderson, Perth Fed,_
enation representative; Gordon Ben-

farm they are a necessity," said Miss
Chapman, addressing the farmers and
farmers' wives in Cardno's hall here

the banquet. The dinner and program

ness
ushness meeting held Tuesday afternoon

Outlining the requirements for an
ideal farm home, Miss Chapman• sug-
gested that wives should call in their
menfolk to help redesign homes for
greater convenience. The man's prov-
ince, in the barn, she commented, is
usually fitted with more sensible con-
veniences in the way of feed chutes,
litter carriers, and counterweighted

COMMUNICATION
Editor, The Seaforth News,—
Due
ews;Due to the recent unfortunate ac-
cident which shocked the community
it was suggested that I write a letter
to the Editor about a matter affect-
ing our village.
Here in Egmondville there is a
traffic hazard twenty-four bows in
the day. This is due to several
causes. The 'lighting at night is not
good but the fact that there is no
apparent speed limit is perhaps the
worst factor. Watching some of the
daily demonstrations of speed, we
wonder if the drivers fancy them-
selves on the salt flats speedway.
Our concern is not whether these
demons of speed land in Bill Smith's
new verandah or at the top of a hy-
dro pole, but it does lie with the
children of our community.
Children are allowed to play on
the streets, this over a period has
engrained itself into their daily rou-
tine. They parade all over the streets
at any hour of the day or night.
Some parents believe too much
discipline is bad. They believe self-
expression is the thing. We still
maintain that discipline is necessary.
When we were kids we knew what
the sidewalks were for. Children
must have discipline, otherwise their
adult life is impossible. .
These little people must be pro-
tected. They are our citizens of to-
morrow. Each of them will be called
to a higher duty than those who
have gone before. Thomas Arnold
said "The boy is father to the man".
. We suggest that speed limit and
school zone signs be erected on our
main street,A driver will objeet less`
to them than tothe hazard of an un
