SEAFORTH, Friday, July 16, 1937.
Walk on the Sidewalks
A m,an was killed on the highway
west of Seaforth on Friday evening
of last week, supposedly because he
was driving a horse vehicle to which
no light was attached.
It is not lack of warning that caus-
es these accidents, but either lack of
belief in the danger or indifference
to it. People, apparently, will • not
believe what every motorist knows
to be an absolute fact, that horse
vehicles or pedestrians caught on the
-highway between the lights of two
cars, are invisible to the drivers of
either car.
There are times when it is neces-
sary for pedestrians to take to the
highways in the country districts,
but when that necessity arises the
pedestrian should remember to carry
a light of some kind.
But there is no excuse for using
the highways as a sidewalk in the
town, a practise that seems to be be-
coming increasingly popular, be-
cause it is nothing short of criminal
to tempt Providence in that manner.
They are doing it in Seaforth,
hoireeier. Doing it constantly and
brazenly. Seaforth is fortunate,
• through the enterprise and generos-
ity of the Lions Club, in having a
,swiinraing pool that for either chil-
dren or adults, has no superior in any
Western Ontario town.
This pool' is only a few blocks'
walk from Main Street and there is
a cement sidewalk right down to the
western entrance of the Boole But
do either the children or the grown-
, ups use this sidewalk? Not at all
At least too many of them do not.
They use No. 8 Highway instead.
During one of the days of the hot
spell last week, there were upwards
of four hundred people in the pool
and on the grounds of the park in
one afternoon, and as many or more
there the same evening.
Most of these people, of course,
came in cars. But a good number
did not. And a good many who °
walked down the highway and, riot
on the sidewalk. With the through
traffic there is on No. 8 Highway,
that is a dangerous thing to do in
the day time. At night, as we say,
it is nothing short of criminal
And what is still worse, a limber
of young people have formed the
practise of turning the highway be-
tween town and the swimming pool,
into an evening promenade. They
:walk to the pool and they walk back
again, and keep on promenading un-
il midnight and after.
And they don't walk on the shoul-
der of the pavement, but three and
four and five abreast on the pave- .
rient itself. And they taimt the
motor drivers who protest at their
presence on the road.
Arid most of these young people
are girls, and most of these girls are
big enough and old enough and ugly
• timMgh to know better. Because if
4,1tey know anything they must kHaVir
• that that portion of the highway is
of the most dangerous in many

•still appear to be far from maitiOg
the recovery that was hoped and ev-
en expected to some extent earlier in
the year.
In fact it is reported that the crop
will be a failure again in these
Provinces. Hon. Duncan Marshall,
Ontario Minister of Agriculture, who
has, perhaps, a more extensive
knowledge of the West than any
other Ontario Government official,
reports on his return, that the West-
ern crop will be the worst in some
twenty years.
With the exception of Manitoba,
which fortunately for her, is now as-
sured an exceptionally, good crop
with high prices, the Western pic-
ture is very black indeed. Saskat-
chewan, which is •the largest wheat
grower, will be the worst off. It will
have little or no crop, and after sev-
eral years of such failures, many
farmers are in a tragic position.
So desperate is the situation in
Southern Saskatchewan that it is be-
lieved the Dominion and Eastern
Provinces will have to come to their
aid, and thousands of acres, once
prosperous farms, will have to be
evacuated, and their poverty strick-
en owners moved to other places.
Of course it is said that muchof
Southern Saskatchewan should nev-
er have been broken up, but it is
much more easy to be wise now than
When the settlers were pouring into
that district twenty-five or thirty
years ago.
In Alberta the situation is not so
desperate, but even at that the crop
is said to be very spotty, and the
whole Province is said to be suffer-
ing for want of rain.

Where Have Thep Gone?
A writer in The New Yorker says:
"The thought just came over us that
it's been years since we've been in a
hammock."
Well, when we come to think of it,
it' S been years since we have been
in one ourselves. So we started look-
ing round a bit.
And would you believe it? There
isn't a hammock on our street At
least one that can be seen from the
sidewalk.
And there isn't one on display in
any store window on Main Street
that we can find. And there used
to be dozens of them, and dozens of
kinds.
In fact a hammock lent distinc-
tion to a home. Even •the barrel
stave ones were not to be despised..
But it was the real classy ones that
made the envied display on the ver-
andahs. The ones with the length
and the breadth, and the long fringe
bn the sides and the big stuffed pil-
low at the top.
It used to be that summer was net
summer without the hammock. They
were the thing. They were treacher-
ous of course, and called for fine
judgment in knowing how far you
could go- without landing on the
ground or the floor.
But they were most restful and.
even romantic at times, and we are
sorry they have gone. We used to
spend a lot of time in a hammock.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.

For different reaetms the English Royal Fam-
ily and the American newspaper editors were
probably the parties most interested ia the Duke
of Windsor's wedding. London es a whole eared

advice, or plain ignorance of public psychology,
the former favorite, ex -King Edward VITI, has,
detail by detail, chateau by cltateau, lost love
and ground at home. Even the bars& decision

GOOD NIG HT Things You Never •
Knew About Sleep. •
The oldest scientifically verified
fact about slumber, that it takes more
noise to wake you at the end of the
first hour Milan at Jany succeeding
one, led to the misleading conclusion
that an hour in bed before midnight
is worth two after. Our experiments),
in the Sleep Laboratory at Colgate
University during the past nine years,
say Donald A. Laird and Charles G.
Muller in Maclean's, have shown' that,
despite the fact that the ordinary in-
dividual sleeps more lightly in the
seoon,d and succeeding hours, he is
more relaxed. •This relaxation we
discovered was a sign of low bodily,
activity vital element of good
eleep. Our findings demonstrated
that how well you eleep is more im-
portant than how deeply or how long.
Physical :exercise before bedtime
makes it harder for you to drop off,
gauges you to wake more frequently'
during the night, and leaves yoU
drowsier in the morning. Whereae
mental tiredness before bedtimes does
not have these effects. The less you
are disturbed emotionally when you
go to bed, the greater your chances
for better tbran average sleep. Peo-
ple whe look forward to the neat day
with displeasure are apt to sleep
slightly below par.
Careful investigation has shown
that a chief cause of adults' wakefue
mess is either wrong food or too lit-
tle food in the stomach. • Pangs of
hunger very definitely will cut into
the quality of rest and, if pronouna
ed., will wake you. Four hours after
a meal, your stomach is empty; yet
you probably let 14 hours elapse be-
tween your evening meal and break-
fast. Reluctant rising, lazy after-
noons. conbinual sleepiness these
frequently are caused by general tis-
sue unger. We have found that an
easily digested late supper or a
sweetened warm drink before retir-
ing will improve your rest. Except
ie. a few sensitive individuals, ordin-
ary amounts of coffee and 'bee with
the evening meal probably are not a
cause of sleeplessness. Exciting ev-
ening- activities are more apt to be
at fault. 'whom such stimulation cote
Unties right up to bedtime, a warm
tub bath will kelp induce slumber.
But a warm or hot bath taken as a
regular nightly habit will do Iittie
good or little harm.
Body temperature is important to
god sleep, a matter which has made
us change our ideas on the proper
ventilation of bedroonss You should
never have air so cold that to keep
warm yet mixt a great weight of
blankets over you. Such' weight dis-
turbs the relaxation of your body. On
the other hand, if your rooni is very
cold and you do not have sufficient
covering, your body is forced to do
extra work in keeping up a normal
temperature. If you wake feeling
cold, you can be perfectly sure your
body has not had the most restful
kind of night.
Our instruments, have shown that
even the slight sound made by a per-
son walking past a bed ott tiptoe will
send a sleeper's muscle tenzion al-
most to waking point. So, even
though you don't actually wake, a
roommate coming to bed after you
have tureed in is Materially injuring
the quality of your rest. Beyond any
shadow of a doubt, if you eleep where
trains and street cars pass, you are
eleepIng badly whether or not you are
conscious of the traffic. Light is an-
other great sleep destreyer. Even
rays from: an automobile 'headlight

What you wear to bed has a bear-
ieg on how you sleep. We have test-
ed the comparative merits of pyjam-
as, nightshift and no bed clothing at
all. The last proved the most con-
ducive to good slumber.
Do not worry about what sleeping
position you take. You change it a-
bout every a5,-- minutes anyway. Your
body instidetively will pick out the
best position. De not worry too much
about dreams cutting into your rest.
They probably have no ill effects. By
and large, they seem to be 'a sort of
safety valve for people who work at
uncongenial jobs or who are diesatia,

In order to digeover to just,. what
extent sleep replenishes energy, we
have tried to substitute energy -giving
foods for sleep. The major finding is
that you can make up the energy your
body has failed to store through sleep
by eating. A generous carbohydrate
(sugar) intake is equal to one or two
tours sleep. By eating liberally of
the foods -Which create muscle fuel,
you reduce the length of time neces•
sary for sleep to replenish theb en-
ergy, to the extent of a couple of
hours a night at least. In an all-
night bridge or poker sessien, you
oan eat freely of sweets and be more
alert than your opponents when the
pots grow large at the end of the
game. Or, if you must leave home at
daybreak to travel to a conference
that will eequire your best thought,
you can at beakfast eat enough car-
boiled:ate° to compensate for the
hour of sleet) you had to forego. Week
elide can be made less fatiguing if
you drink plenty of ginger, ale and
say "yess" to second helpings of des-.
sent.
Calcium (supplied in milk and dairy
produete) also has a beneficial effect
on sleep; when calcium is lave in the
body, general iritability increases.
Many people who think they do not
sleep believe they dame been sleep-
less because they have heard each
stroler of the- clock When actually
their mina has heard the strildng
while they slept. For we sleep in
parts, and not all of our body slum-
bers at the same time.
We humane, like all other animal
and plant life, have a natural sleep
rkythm. That is, we recuperate best
from the day's activities if we go to
bed at regular hours every night.
Meatal excitement, emotional stimu-
lation frem press and movies, seden-
tary working habits, strain or noise
and high-pressure routine, all conspire
to make rest more difficult for tale
