THE TOWN DOCTOR
(The Doctor of Towns)
Says
.A MAN CAN APPRECIATE ONLY THAT
WHICH HE KNOWS,
Records show that many of the old sayings are falling by the
wayside; the latest' of, which is tiie one about -•the impossibility of
hearing apparatus of a female omnivorous 'manual
converting the hea g 1 P
into i silk overnight bag. A man in New York has.ruined 'that, by
silk of a sow's ear. But the tried and proven state
actually making
n i that "A. man can ,appreciate only that which he knows" will
meet.
undoubtedly outlive the span 'of years of the most of us.
Arthur .Brisbane, tells a story about a brown. rat m Lincoln
Park Chicago.' This rat lives happily in his hole under a tree, never
doubting but that the whole pule. was. made just for him, as some.
people believe the whole town in which they live was made just for Y
them: This rat is an agnostic -you can't snake hire believe :anything
that he cannot understand and,'prove, and as he cannot understand
or prove very much, he is?happy and` self-satisfied. He is a,rgood
l
rat, however, minds his own business, -and keeps regular .hours. He
mins up and down his: little path, looks with contempt at the .queer
animals which live up the tree, and some day he will die in his hole,
with his teeth grown long, convinced that he has not missed a thing
that life. has to offer. fact
Without intention of drawing any undue comparisons, the
nevertheless remains that in, every community there are residents,
who, like the rat, deny, what -they cannot understand; citizens who
are' contemptuous of that.which is near then and that which could
be appreciated.. Intellectually, these people are as rats—rodents to
the civic life of community. These people do not 1 now but unlike
the case of rats;' it does make a difference and upon the shoulders.
of somebody or some roup ,of somebodies is the responsibility of
doing that which is necessary to make -them appreciative.
The voters who deter the building of better schools; the pav-
ing, of roads'and streets, the making of play grounds, the laying of
sewers, the installation of disposal plants and water filtration plants;.
the business people who insist on being "storekeepers" and "pooh-
pooh" .the idea of clerk training,. yet weep and wail that chain store
and capital are ruining their business; the resident to whom a straw-
ger says: "This looks like a pretty good town," and replies: "Yeah,
it's all right, if you like 'it'"; the inerchant that • the community has
supported but who refuses to belong to a service club or a civic or-
.gainzation, and ,who belittles, runs down and decries every attempt
on the part of anyone to help the community; Mr. Average Citizen
who sits back anis says nothing, with an "It's none of my affair"
attitude; the ever-present percentage that go out of their way to
n` the community down maliciously;- the resident who tales no part
tun
carer paign, an orphans' home benefit,: hospital or other
intheclean-up 1 ,
charitable 'drive; the property owner, resident or otherwise, who re-
fuses to eradicate visible community abominations; the man, grown
old, who cares not a whit if the swimming pool of his forgotten boy=
hood joys is polluted with the refuse of his factory; the gossip, the,
civic derelict, the knocker and the fool—these are the rodents who
must be shown and taught the costliness of their Ways before, and
in order that they may appreciate.
Now is the time for every thinking citizen and civic ottani-
zation, every business man and, every 'city official to. awaken to the
very :evident fact that "What was, isn't"—that things have changed
and that old-fashioned ideas of community life will not' stand the
gaff of modern ways of doing things.

proving Goderich;. harbour."
•
should • .like the minister and the
house to note this particularly:
"1 do not think it is a local work,
bttt national in its nature. And the
shipments to Canadian portsdepend a
great deal, on ,otit being able to take
care' of the grain which conies to
these- lake ports. Larger vessels
wiles come to Goderich than to many
of the other places, I am informed
by the Grand Trunk that they would
be prepared to"take care of thegrain,
and. that perhaps from fifteen to.
twenty •millions of bushels could be;
easily handled if there was a very
moderate, expenditure on the, har-
bour,"
This was in 1903, and twenty-six
years later—a quarter of a ,century—
1 am glee -to be able to rise inthis
house and say that the prophetic ut-
terance of the Hon. James Suther-
land, a Liberal Minister of Public
Works, has come true, and that in
the past year there have been twenty.
million bushels. Mr. Maclaren, who
represented North Perth at the time,
said:
"I have many communications from
that part of the country with regard
to the harbour, and they say that for
two hundred miles along the shore' of
lake Huron, there is not a safe :har
,bout for steamers to enter in case of
storm: The, grain, men and millers all
through thatpart of the country are,
very anxious to have the harbour put
into proper shape. 1 may say ::tis,
that 1 have a resolution passed by the
Board of Trade of Stratford, and let-
ter and telegrams' from Mitchell, Sea-
forth, Goderich'and all along the line;
and I think the government should do
something tolint the harbor in Pro-
per
ro-1 r shape. So far as I am concerned;.
I will do everything in trey power:"
I do not wish to go into any his-
tcirical 'review of the situation by tak-
ing up the: Hansards of the various
years since confederation, but it his
been freely admitted by .every,Min-
ister of Public Works that Goderich
is a harbour of national importance.
Once more I' would impress upon the
minister the fact that . any harbour.
which will contribute $1,000,000 in
freight rates to the Canadian National
Railways and three quarters of a mil-
lion to the Canadian Pacific Railway
is a harbour that should receive ev-
ery consideration. On the strength
of the sympathetic attitude of The pre-
sent administration the Goderich El-
evator Company has gone ahead with.
an expenditure this year, there being
in tourse of erection a one million
bushel extension to their elevator, at
a cost of $350,000; and they confident-
ly anticipate that the work will be
proceeded with vigorously.

perpetualexcuse for holding up a
work.' of such importance nationally;
and if that be the case' 1 would ap-
peal to the Prime Minister of this
country (Mr. Mackenzie Kipg) to
callthis house in session earlier in
the year, say in the month of . Nov-
ember, and let us get horse by Easter.
This would' give the ,public works' of
Canada a chance. It is not the fault
of hon. members on this `side of, the
house that these estimates arc going
through at this late hour.- I believe
there are some unfinished contracts
while
these 'public works, and whit e
we are satisfied with the amount of
$205;000 we believe all that money'
should be spent. We feel that it
should be "more; we feel that this
government as well asprevious gov-
ernments has
ov-ernments'has not kept pace with the
activity of that harbour, but at all
events we desire to get away from
this business of putting' $175,000' in
the estimates and then spending less
than half that amount.'
1 want to leave that thought will
i
the government, I khow the Minister
of. Public Works feels his responsibil
ity, and 1 would appeal to the govern-
ment to get away from petty politics.
They ' should not go into constituen-
cies during .by -elections -1 am not
speaking of my own riding in par-
ticular; this has reference to the,con
stituency of Victoria and others—and
try to bribe the people of Canada
with their own money. We believe
that this is the money. of the people
of Canada which will be spent for
development of Goderich .harbour. If.
it is to be a personal donationfrom
this government I would st'.tggest:that
the minister dress up as Santa Claus,
get a few reindeers, have the Minister
of Trade and Commerce, who knows
the blue water highway well, drive
him there and present the gift, if it
is a natidnal necessity itshould be
proceeded with vigorously, but if it
is not a necessity not one dollar
should be spent. We ° are just ask-
ing what the merits of the casae de-
nand, and I want to -.protest against
the admninistration making promises
during both . by-elections and general
elections which apparently they have
no intention of fulfilling. I think it
is nota very big jump at all from. that
sort of thing to the man who, running
for .alderman or mayor of a city, goes
around promising public works in or-
der to get votes. In fact, Mr., Chair-
man, to my mind there is no differ-
ence between offering a public bribe
for .a bunch of votes and the straight
purchase of so mach per head.

stood third; exceeded only by' Port
Colborne. and Mbritreal: In cargo de
liveries to lake Huron. and Georgian
Bay ports Goderich stood first, It
appears to me that the "Hon, James
Sutherland, the former Minister of
Public Works, had a very gopd grasp
of the situation and he sounded some-
what of a prophetic note; According
to Hansard, Mr, Kemp of Toronto
arose and asked this question: :
"Does this constitute all that the
people of 'Goderich demand from the
Department of Public Works?"
The•then Minister of Public Works
repiied:
"No,. demands have been made, not
only from Goderich, bet the whole of
the district and from Toronto west,
that a breakwater•;should. be. built at
this port.' 1 myself believe it is a
mrirtttcr of necessity, if we ate to have
the benefit we should have on • lake
Huron. At ,present mostly all the
shipping goes up the American, side
of tate, lake because we have not any
harbour of refuge on the Canadian
side. ']here. are in addition splendid
facilities, already erected there itt `the
shape of an elevator and other iii-
provetnents at the harbour. 1 am
very much impressed with the repre-
sentation that. ' a great deal of the
grain of.the west might be taken tare'
of here if we had the proper facilit-
ies. However, the discussion of that
matter will come up more properly.

suggestions of that kind?

Grain Traffic Through Goderich
Annually we handle from fifteen to
twenty million bushels of grain. from
vessels to cars, )yr iriclpally, of Canad-
ian origin, shipped from Tort William
and Port Arthur. ,The major portion
of this grain is destined for domestic
milling and feeding requirements in
Ontario and_Quebec, with the balance
going for c' port abroad through our
Canadian eastern seaboard ports, and,
for domestic distribution in New.1 u ,
land states: 11,1.9p we have handlid,
through the "transit" elevators 17,-
000,000 bushels of Canadian and Am-
erican ,grain, 'while an additional 4,.!
000,000 has been handled through the
elevator of thc.Western Canada Flour
Mills, The freight revenue on this
will aeiount to over $1,800,000 of
