Lack of "atmosphere" in a town is that which is responsible for motorists going through your town without seeing it, or re- membering it. How often have you heard the remark, referring to business houses; places of amusement and even hones -"It doesn't appeal to me, there's no atmosphere"? How your townlooks`IS important, for while; people weighval- ues, they constantly compare towns. There are thousands who would go outof their way to patronize your town' if the surroundings were such that created "atmosphere," "Atmosphere" attracts, induces, tempts, allures, fascinates and impress -it sells your town; while the absence of it in any community creates a pall and silence that shouts to the world, including its own inhabitants, "This place lacks what you are looking for." In every section of this great land of ours, cities, towns and villages have, to a .greaterr or less degree, thought of, talked about, and in many cases, started a Clean -Up Campaign; To what extent it has been carried out depends upon the wide-awakefulness ofthe people. , There is something about the first few days of every spring that gives us mortals an urge to shed ourselves of drab surroundings -to sort of "brighten the corner where we are", so to speak. Full of pep, enthusiasm and with fine ideas of doing big things, we neat- eriallyadd to the joy of the paint store man, the seed merchant and the seller of garden and yard tools, and it is fine for everybody. But our hands are soft, our baoks are weak, and our will not too strong, and altogether, too soon the glamor and incentive of the first days becomes the fever of the, week and the job is left half done. Verily, in a few short weeks many now tidy and much boast- ed of gardens will be but weed patches, unattended and forlorn.. Likewise, many a Clean -Up Week, widely heralded, urged and ex- ploited by a loyal press, will pass with the May flowers unless you and your neighbors and all of their neighbors' neighbors recognize the real value and keep at it until it is done -and well. Do not have a Clean -Up Week -make it the year 'round, for your customers, from whence they may come, are becoming more • critical -they' demand "atmosphere', and there can be none without cleanliness . all of, the time. • Copyright, 1929, A.

Henry Word was received from Toronto a few days ago that the Highway Safety Committee had renewed its campaign for the prevention of',ac- cidents. In this paper the Commit- tee publishes its first 'advertisement, calculated,to renew public interest in this vital problem. It is stated.by those who have stud- ied the question, that motor traffic in Ontario increased between 20% and 25% in 1928 over 1927, but that the fatal accident, ratio was lower than in 1927. Highway officials hive a good dealof credit for these fig- ures to She educative efforts of the Highway Safety Committee dudng the last two years. As the traffic grows the Committee find that they have to continue their efforts with renewed vigor in order to keep this ratio at as low a figure as possible. After carer -all study members of the Committee have concluded that the vast majority of accidents can be prevented if a few simple rules of safety are,lcept constantly in mind. One official' of the Highways De- partment artment asserted that during certain periods of this summer we may ex- pect cars in use on Ontario High- ways to ,equal one car to every three people living in the Province. These figures, of course, take 'into account the increasing number of tourist cars using,.Q.n,tario Highways. Stop trying this or; that medicine on chance for Rh di -emotion:.

This bears out the contention that has previously been trade in these columns, that the; machinery of the Agricultural Department is not' cant- ing to close enough grips with the problem which the farmers are fac- ing. What is needed is some practical fanning in several districts of this province, •carried on by the depart- ment under the same conditions which the average farmer., is facing, NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY The Agricultural College was es- tablished for the purpose of giving scientific instruction in agriculture, iu order that graduates would snake better farmers. Tirlle:y would learn. new methods and better ways and put them into actual use on the land. There has been a good deal of dis- cussion regarding the extent to which this object is realized, and thc destination of thc graduating class this year gives a fairly good index to the `situation. There arc 33 graduating this year; seven are leaving Ontario to take positions iti other provinces or in the United States; eight will enter the agricultural represcittaativc ser- vice; four are to work in the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture, and four more are remaining on the staff of .the Guelph school, Five are go- ing on with postgraduate worts, and the remaining' nine have secured pos- itions withcommercial firms in. On- tario. Ot the entire class not one is re and financed on the same 'scale. Let the department face the,exper- ience of going to the bank and ne- gotiating a loan, let it do its buying and selling in the same way the av- erage farmerdoes it -not feeling that it had the financial power of a pro- vince behind it, but with: a 'sincere desire to find out why farmers do not regard their business as fairly profitable. . Educating young men for a voca- tion which they are not going to LI - low is too great a departure from good business practice to be contin- ued indefinitely. The .time seems to be here for getting at the basic facts of the case first. A luxury Tire? Yes and Noi If you drive a ear for oiie year only, Royal Masters are an extravagance.
