Here in llur:in, the Conservatives last night nom- inet d the Hon. C.S. 1lacNaughton, Minister of Highways, as their candidate, while the Liberals will be meeting next Tuesday :)i' :;t in Hensa11 to pick their man. There should be little doubt, in the minds of Huron voters, who should repre- sent them in the next house. For the past number of years Huron has been more than fortunate in having a man of the capab.ility of Mr. MaeNaughton looking after their in- terests.In addition, "our Charlie" has been selected for one of the most important posi- tions in the government, that of Minister of Highways. We do not want to lose him as either our representative or as the Minis- ter of Highways. It would appear to us that the task of running as an opponent to Mr, MacNaughton would be most discouraging, but no doubt someone will accept the challenge. One thing we are certain of, however, and that is that the election campaign in Huron will be a clean -fought affair, regardless of who may choose to oppose our sitting member. We can •foresee no change for Ontario in this election, Surely everyone will agree that we have been most fortunate in having one of the youngest, most ambitious go- vernments ever to rule in this province. Their program,, under the dynamic leader- ship of Premier Robarts, has been most en- couraging to young and old alike, and we hope they will be returned to office for another term. Ontario needs men like Roberts, MacNaughton, Macaulay, Stewart, Davis and Auld, (only to mention a few) who will best look after our interests. While the slogan, time for a change, may hold true in some cases, this is certainly not the situation in Ontario at the present time, and we hope the public will support the good, solid government which has been administering our affairs over the past years. Here in Huron we want to continue being represented by a Cabinet Minister, our first in history, so we will adopt the slogan, "Forward with Charlie." Sin And Circumstances! Truly the sins of omission are as bad as these of commision. Because a person lives by the social laws and does not bother his neighbors, is he all that much better than say. a man with a hungry family who steals a :oaf of bread to feed them? This is no appeal for the person who doea no harm — and no good — to begin striving to make his neighbor do what HE thinks is right. Nor is it an excuse for any- one stealing. It is merely a comparison showing that human beings who just live, without doing anything towards the betterment of the lot of a friend, relative, their community or the world, have no good reason to feel self- righteous when they hear of someone in dire circumstances committing a punish- able offence, (Nanton News) Are You Narrow -Minded? The trouble with many young people to- day is that they have not been brought up to mix comfortably with other age groups. They would resent being called "narrow- minded" because they associate that at- titude with their elders. But, in fact, they cannot be anything else, they have only the narrow confines of their own age group by which to set their standards. This pro- duces a situation which is sad for every- body from the very young to the very old. • It is a good plan to make sure that mem- bers of the family from the tinies to the teenagers, associate with older relatives and friends of their parents, if only for short periods. The elders can include them in the conversation, without allowing them to dominate it. Gradually the outlook on both sides widens and a greater under- standing on both sides is the result. The young person who •can listen and talk and be at ease with an older one has a greate advantage when he goes out into the world which is, after .all, populated with people of all ages as well as of all nation- alities. (Nanton News) Prepare For Post -Harvest Spending! The an^,roach of each of the four seasons brires the need to buy goods in preparation fr)r them. Families must be supplied with suitable clothes. Homes need furnishings and appliances or replenishments of them. Houses need repairs. Innumerable items are required to contribute to our material . welfare. Storekeepers and manufacturers are keenly aware of those spending periods as well as the big turnover expected at the festive season. They look ahead and pre- pare for them, In a small town situated in an agricultural area, one of the main pur- chasing periods comes after the harvest is in and winter comfort begins •to be con- sidered. Many succesful businesses in small towns have been built on the sound principle of providing a reliable product or worthwhile service at a fair price. But the businessman in a small town today cannot afford to sit back and rest on even such a good reputa- tion. Competition is too keen. Big stores operating on the catalogue system claim a large share of sales. Travelling is no object with modern cars on good roads. Businessmen in small towns have to con- sider other factors too nowadays, such as parking; entertainment and good eating places, before they can expect to prosper, or even survive. If to these are added thoughtful consideration, courtesy, clean- liness, fair prices and prompt attention, small town businesses may continue to pro- vide a reasonably good living for their owners fo.r a long time to come, ZURICH Citizens NEWS HERB TURKHEIM —• Editor and Publisher PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY MORNING at ZURICH, ONTARIO Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department.

Both will be gathered there this week, the former trying to regain their lost health, the lat- ter trying to ruin their, at their annual convention. At the moment of writing, it's merely a hope. Between here and there lies a nightmare of car, rail and boat travel, with a wife and two children. I have no doubt whatever that the jouriney will be an un- forgettable horror composed of car trouble, missed trians, sea- sickness, forgotten brassieres, misliad baggage checks, furious wife, and lost children, This is the way we always travel. n, 4, As usual at our place, the kids and I have taken the pre- parations for attending this convention with admirable calm, while my wife has been sewing and ironing and swear- ing softly since the first of July. I swear she'd need three years' advance notice should we ever decide to go to Europe for a month, What really baffles her is the unpredictability of the good old Canadian weather. Late August can be reeking hot, cold and clammy, or brisk and breezy. Figure three changes of clothes a day for three possible climates, for four people, for seven days, •and.a'eu have the measure of her misery. This week, while she stews at home, geeting :ready, I'm at a slightly different type of con- vention. It's a gathering of schoolteachers. Oh, there are similarities. You wear a name badge at each. You eat meals at each. There are receptions at each. Each has a key word: "dedication" at this one. and "grass-roots" at the newspaper one. There are interminable up- lifting speeches at each. But what a difference in the details! At our first evening at the Manoir, I shall lead down to cocktails niy beautiful wife, en-haneed by a smashing hair- do and new gown. We shall sip languidly and exchange bons mots with old friends, while a white -gloved waiter passes the SUGAR and SPICE By Bill Smiley, hors d'oevres. Then, wooed by dozens of handsome, young public rela- tions then who want us to sit at their table, we shall proceed in stately style to the Lobster Thermidor and the Baked Alas- ka. Things weren't quite like that at my first meal at the teachers' gathering. My dinner com- panion was pleasant, but not exactly exciting and by no stretch of the .imagination beau- tiful. He didn't even get a new hair -do for the convention. He was my roommate, director of the technical wing in a high school. None of this decadent dining at seven. Dinner was at five - thirty. We washed our hands and went down to weiners and beans, followed by a palatable, but not quite exotic, dessert of canned cherries, At the Manoir, great public institutions like finance com- panies will vie with one anot- her to provide pre -dinner recep- tions and post -dinner convivia- lities for the editors. At the convention, the only reception was a coffee -and - cookies affair at 9.30 p.m., and the guests paid for the grub. ,i, At the Manoir, each evening will produce its small parties, followed by dancing and en- tertainment in the handsome casino. At this one, evening en- tertainment consist of a walk around the grounds, followed by a couple of hundred other lonely teachers who miss their families, and ends with a cof fee from the automat in the basement. Teachers and weekly editors are good and useful people, and have much in common, though they often hate each others' in- nards. Both try to inform, edu- cate and raise the standards of society. But when it conies to conventions, though I'll prob- ably be healthier after the teachers' affair, I'll have a lot more fun with the editors.

Blenheim, Ontario , IIETTENDORPi Il Consider Snow When Building Next winters' snow storms may be far from your mind during this summers heat. But they shouldn't be if you are planning to put up new build- ings, Many snow and wind pro- blems can be eliminated if pro- per "location" of farm build- ings is considered before you build. Often existing problems can'be overcome by simple cor- rective means, Researchers F. H. Theakston and J. Underwood at the 0. A. C. Guelph, saw the need to help the farmer in planning proper location of buildings to provide greater protection against snow and wind. As a result of their studies, several principles have THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1963 been developed which are help- ful to anyone planing construc- tion. They found that the place- ment of a farm building and windbreaks is very important if drafts are to be controlled. This is especially true in the case of the loose housing barn. This open building causes ex- cessive wind currents as well as dropping out quantities of snow in critical locations on the bed- ding area, Future studies will also de- termine the effect of the land- scape surrounding farm build- ings, Information on proper loca- tion of farm buildings to elimi- nate some of the problems of snow and wind is available Write to the Department of Engineering Science, 0.
