So what else is new? New Hamburg is in the unenviable position of being without a resident dentist at the present time. In the interest of relieving the situation. the Board of Trade has been working diligently. Calls have been made to the Faculty of Dentistry, Uni- versity of Toronto, and the Ontario Dental Association, and information received that the situation is acute in many communities. Of the estimated 120 dental graduates last year from the University of{ Toronto, Faculty of Dentistry. fewer than 15 could be expected to settle permanently in rural areas. One community in Ontario that has 10 dentists. eight of them have been prac- tising 40 years or more, and no one in sight to replace them. Why is it so difficult to attract dental graduates to a small community? In the first place, there is a dentist shortage. Efforts are being made to interest high school students to the profession. It is a highly respected one, and a lucrative field of endeavour. Why are the great majority of the graduates seeking practices in the metro- politan areas? It would appear they are attracted by big city life and the mistaken idea that there is more money to be had in these areas. It is safe to assume that if all things were considered, including the overhead, practice in a small community would provide remuneration equal if not better than in the city. Then, too, the amount of competition is less. If a dentist were to set up an office in New Hamburg tomorrow, willing to pro- vide conscientious dental care to the resi- dents of the community, the number of citizens who of necessity must travel out of town for this care, would decrease sharply. It is to be hoped the situation regard- ing dental care in New Hamburg will be resolved before too long. We niay not like going to a dentist's office, but it is a necessary trip.—(New Hamburg Indepen- dent). Against Sharpies The smooth-tongued salesman. with his well -rehearsed sales pitch, goes through his routine, convincing the householder that only a fool would fail .to sign up immedi- ately for the money -saving wonder being offered. The householder is only a fool, of course, if he does sign immediately. Often it is only after the glow of the sales pitch wears off that he finds himself com- mitted to buy something that he really doesn't need, at a cost he cannot really afford. Usually the item, of better quality, can be purchased at much lower overall cost at a local store. Such salesmen continue to reap a harv- est despit numerous warning to household- ers to check first before signing. Any legitimate salesman will beh appy to allow his customers time to check on his claims and compare prices and products. Only the fast -buck boys need to have that signature immediatly. Consideration is being given to some form of legislative protection for customers. What form this might take is still unknown, although there has been some suggestion to provide a "thinking over" period of a few days which would allow the consumer to cancel out on a deal even after signing. Unfortunately, in trying to legislate against shady operators, there is always the danger that we handicap our legitimate firms, adding to red tape and often costs of oper- ation. However, we have no sympathy for the shady operator who can harm the con- sumer and the honest businessman and if legislation is necessary, then let's have it. —(The Tillsonburg (Ont.) News). Ontario Carries the Load It would seem that the Province of Ontario is general subsidizing, to an ex- tent, all other provinces in the Dominion of Canada. Figures presented to the federal -pro- vincial conference at Quebec showed that, with a single small exception, Ontario pays out more than it receives in benefits. The figures showed that Ontario's cit- izens provided about 45 per cent of the tax revenue received by Ottawa while only 30 per cent of the total revenue was spent within this province's boundaries. Even Quebec, a large province with a large population, contributed only 25 per cent of the total expenditures. Provinces where populations are far from concentrated„ Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, would be expected to be re- ceiving more than they contribute. To do this some naturally must pay out more than they receive, and Ontario is logically one of those in the category. Al- berta, considered among the wealthiest provinces, paid just slightly more into the federal treasury than it received, while British Columbia neither gained nor lost. Somehow it seems unjust that Quebec, with the largest city in the nation and a population not substantially less than On- tario's, should not be paying its share to- wards helping the less wealthy provinces. —(Owen Soun Sun -Times) 'HELP WANTED Men and Women to Work During the Summer at Vegetable Canning POSSIBILITY OF DAY OR NIGHT WORK Apply in Person TO CANADIAN CANNERS LTD. 210 Wellington Street West EXETER } 1 IIII11IIIIIIIIIIIINIIIIWN011111191111IIIIIIIIIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIINIWIIIllINIIIUIIIIIIIIIIl11UIgf1111n0IIliNiNIIUIIIIIINU111111 1111NIIIN11111111111111n111111INNlq{IgIgM 101jiiii I. Do you indulge occasionally in the dream of coming into a lot of money? Most people do. It's something like taking dope: you're high, wide and dreamy while you're at it, but the let- down is jolting. The bored housewife, far ex- ample, crouched over her iron- ing board, envisions herself in a bikini sunt on a deck chair on a yacht in the Mediterranenan, sipping a long, cold drink. Tanned and handsome Count Serge Popoff takes her hand and, devouring her with his eyes, leans forward to kiss it. Just as she is thrilling right up to the shoulder from the cool, firm imprint of the count's lips on her mitt, she looks down and discovers that .the cool, firm lips have suddenly become the cold, runny nose of her daughter, who is wiping it on the back of mummy's hand. Maybe the factory hand, busy all day putting square pegs in round holes, begins toying with what he'll be doing if his sweep- stake ticket comes through. In his mind's eye, he is lolling on his balcony in Acapulco's posh- est hotel, overlooking the swim- },` UGAR and SPICE By Bill Smiley mingl pool, while a beautifu Spanish job with a rose in her hair whispers gentle stuff in his ear. It's a dangerous shock to his system when he suddenly real- izes that the face so near his own is not the Spanish lovely, but straw boss, and the tender murmurs have become a moose - like bellow that wants to know "what the helleryou gawping at?" Even the Canadian farmer, a solid fellow most of the time, has his weak moments. Like when he starts dreaming that he had a thousand head of cattle, instead of twenty, and he sold them at forty cents a pound, instead of eighteen. Clear as crystal, he can see himself and Maw heading down the highway for a long holiday in the new Cadillac. It does him no good at all to wake up and find that the Ca- dillac has been transformed into a tractor, and he's heading straight for the stone fence. For years, I've had these dreams: riding in a ricksha in Rangoon, tossing silver dollars to the natives; dropping in on Princess Margaret and Tony for K Plumbing Heating G Electrical Give Us a Cali for ALL Your Heating Requirements Whether it be cleaning your present furnace — or installing a new unit.

But lately, they have solidified into one recur- rent dream which is more like. an obsession. it comes almost nightly this time of year. In the dream, my wife says, "When are you going to get those storm windows off, have you any intention of cutting the lawn this year, what do you in- tend to do about that fence?" I just tell her to shut up. This is how I know it's a dream. Then I reach out nonchantly, push the bell -button beside my chair. A man appears and asks respectfully, "Yes, sir?" I tell him, "John, get these storm windows off. And I don't mean tomorrow. The grass needs cutting, and do some- thing about propping up the fence. Now, get cracking:" He says, "Right away, sir." I lean back, light a dollar cigar, and splash a little more soda into my brandy. That's the dream in essence. There are variations on it. Sometimes 1 tell John to shovel the walk, and I splash a little more bran- dy into my soda, but it's the same dream. You can have your yachts, your Acapulco balconies, and your Cadillacs. Just give me John. Ontario has all the bigness, all. the variety for one of the most exciting vacations of your life. Ontario covers 415,000 square miles, packed with fas- cinating things to see.
