A New Way ofSoliciting
The New Jersey Children's Home
Society has devised a new and novel
method of obtaining funds for plac-
ing neglected children in foster
homes..
That method is to -send a dollar bill
with every soliciting letter. And ev-
ery letter says: "Keep it if you want
to. But, remember, that this dollar
and any dollar's you care to return
with it, go to help neglected chil-
dren."
It may sound like a very risky pro-
ceeding to hard-headed persons, but
,itis recorded by the New Jersey So-
ciety that to date ninety-four per
cent. of these dollars have been re-
turned. And still better, or still
more remarkable, it is' recorded that
these returned dollars have brought
back thirty4ree per cent. more dol-
lars with thein. -
That would appear to be a consid-
erably larger return than most solic-
iting letters 'account for, no matter
how worthy the cause.
We are not suggesting that the
management of our own Children's
Shelter take any such chances with
the county taxpayers' money, but
what works successfully in one place
might work in another.
Should, however, our own county
authorities take a similar plan under
consideration, we would suggest that
only a few such soliciting letters be
sent out at first and only to a hand-
picked selection of victims, although
we are assured by the Christian Sci-
ence Monitor, from which we take
these figures, that the act of return-
ing dollars for dollar brought its
own returns to the thirty-three per
cent that- practised it. •
That the same law of recompense
applies to them as to the Children's
Home Society—the law of give: get.

SOme Cigarette Figures
The Montreal Gazette says:
"Cigarettes released for consumption
in Canada in February totalled
476,291,960 against 418,344,845 in
February last year. The cigar totals
were 9,602,502 and 7,275,795, respec-
tively-, If smoking is a solace, Can-
adians seem to be growing more con-
tented."
Any middle-aged' man can look
back to the time when a man who
smoked cigarettes was rather looked'
down upon. As somewhat of a fop.
Real he-men wouldn't, be seen with
one. Nothing but pipes and cigars
for them.
But even the he-men have suc-
cumbed to the times. It is only the
odd one who still adheres to pipes
and cigars. And along with the he-
men, we have the women, the grand-
mothers, the mothers• and the daugh-
ters, the sons and the grandfathers.
But as for contentment. Well, do
you think the present generation, in
spite of their cigarettes, is any more
contented than the last one or two?

Something New in the Florist
Line
A man over in the State of Col-
orado is making money out of some-
thing new in the florist line. And
the new.. thing is a travelling green-
house which he uses to show his
'Vegetable plants and &wets during
•the spring and summer months.
Vhe travelling greenhouse is a
irnafl house mounted on rubber
eels, ,and powered by a motor en-

In the country dstiet.S; .thiS
- side of the lin' the Ogjihotse bUsi-;
ness does not- flouriSh Very briskly. ,
Hothouse flowers and plants are
rather expensive and there are'inany
people who have never seen the in-
terior of a greenhouse..
In the summer time our display of
flowers and plants is not exceeded in
beautyanywhere, but they are so
profuS'e- that we take them as a mat-
ter of course. In the winter, it is
different. Then, only, is it when the
average human shows any real- ap-
preciation of the beauty_ of the
flowers.
It is, of course, only human nature
to appreciate what one does not have
and we don't have flowers in winter,
except greenhouse ones, and, as we
say, they uare a little expensive. And
greenhouses are rather few' and far
between also.
For that reason, perhaps, a travel-
ling greenhouse might be a paying
proposition here as it is in Colorado.
But we are going to pass over this
profitable adventure to some one
else. We already have enough trou-
bles of our own, and we are not, a
hortieulturalist anyway.

Huron Roads Are Good
Spring is always an anxious time
for township and. county road of-
ficials and a testing -time for their
roads. And this spring has been no
exception.
The snow came early and stayed
late, so consequently there was not
any great depth of frost in the
ground. But there has been an un-
usual amount of cold weather since
the snow disappeared; weather that
reached the zero mark, and often
went below that
Eventually the frost did go down
into the roads, and when we had a
touch of summer a couple of weeks
ago, the frost ca -me out again, and
came out in a hurry too. And what
the departing frost can do to a road,
paved or any other kind, is too well
known to need comment.
Consequently, there was an anx-
ious time for a few days, and many
roads tottered on the verge of be-
coming bogs. But the danger is ov-
er now, and Huron County roads
have stood the test amazingly well
Even the side lines and the farm
lanes are drying out.
But it has not been the same. in
other counties. Heaved and broken
pavements, and bottomless gravel
roads are a common story in many
districts, and it will take a lot of
time and a lot of money to bring
these roads back into condition
again.
However, it is, opither a 'matter
entirely of weather or luck that our
roads are as good as they are to -day.
Huron 'County has a system of road
building, and maintenance that is
Sqcond to none in Ontario, and equal-
led by very few.
Where our roads have suffered,
the cause did not lie' in the building,
but rather with the shortsighted
policy of the county council in stint-
ing the amount expended in their
maintenance,and the council has
been stinting their appropriations
for quite some years.
No one wants to see prodigality
in spending, but there can be such a
thing as' following a penny wise,
pound foolish system, such as build-
ing roads and then leaving them to
their own devices until it becomes
necessary to rebuild them again.

• "MY FRIEND"
myself, for being a lfi
of su t,seeb,
RIght now I am thorolhie asham-
ed
perpon at times. J was laidup with
a whingeeof rheumatism in my leg
last week, and reviling everybody bez
cauee I coal:dna be out in the , bush
to (help the hired man start to tap.
'Then, Joe Wiles who travels for one
of the big cite companies, came along
and asked if he deed leave a friend
of his with me during the afternoon,
'Being quite a 'gableer, I welcomed
the opportunity and told Mrs. PhlI to
bring another rocker out on the sun-
ny side of the old back' .woodshed.
But Joe hadn't told me who my call-
er was to be. Along he came with a
•bey - . . just a sort of wizened -up
little fellow, about • the color of ash-
es and with a pair of dark glasses on.
Pathetic looking little codger that he
was, he tapped along With a cane,
shyly shoved that poor wizened hand
that felt like loose akin', over bones
into my hand and said . . . "They
call me Ikey. I. can't see."
Something seemed to ball up in my
throat, and for a few minutes after.
Joe left I couldn't say very much.
Then at last the little fellow Said: "Is
this a real honest -to -goodness farm
• . ?". And went sort of breath-
less when I answered-, "Tell me a-
bdut it, Mr.( Phil."
I tried to tell him . . . about the
way the land elepes down; .from the
house, into .that ravine . . . and
the woodshed against which he was
sitting . . - and the bare and the
'stables . . and then I saw Anna-
belle come out for a sip of. water
from the trough . . . and Buttins-
ky was trying out his bumpers on
the new wire fence around the orch-
ard.
He just sat there, drinking it all in.
Sometimes the wistful little face
would light up, almost as if he were
in a strange land of fairy tales. I
• wondered then how he pictured it all.
What he thought I looked like? If
this world was a marvellous place to
live in when you couldn't see it and
had to live in your imagination and
supply al/ the details yourself.
u'hers .
Down on the strawstack, Ethiopia
was lustily crowing and crooking his
meek up into a bow, as he said in so
many notes: "I'm master of this part
(of Lazy Meadows." Gruinter, our dis-
contented Benkshine, went stithening
on down into the - mud puddle caused
by the. leak in the water -tank. That
was what I talked about • . . not
Pressing hiea With details, but allow-
ing hirci to supply all those himself.
"Suchansueh," our Collie pup, came
up and bruished .atIOng the side of
Ikey's leg. Ile dropped his stick- and
those pitiful little hands went out to
reach for the pup. This was a new
adventure for Suchansuch, and he
cocked his (heed' and wagged his tail
and reached out to lick one of the
hands with a tentative, exploring
tongue.
I may be an old fool, but I couldn't
keep the tears from rolling down my
cheeks. Tabby, the old Cheshire, was
sleeping away peacefully on, the old
back stoop and the fact hjs. natural
rival was gaining grace with our lit-
tle visitor, was enough to prod him
into investigation.
And so' the afternoon slipped by.
Little Ikey reaohed an exploring hand
into the warmth created by 0a settin'
hen om her nest of eggs. He felt the
pucker of old Annabelle, the original
old grey mare, as she flipped, a lump
of sugar from his hand with iter lips.
He had a clean, shiny -little pig in his
arms, that wee only two days old. He
reached down and almost died from
the thrill of feeding one of the new
6.17.136 from a pail .and the calf
decided that by sucking his finger
would help. .
Ikey left me. Somehow, when he
left and shoved that little bane into
mine, and said: "You know, you're
a real friend!' . . . and I felt asham-
ed of myself for complaining of that
rheumatism. Ikey sees the world in
his own way, and yet if some of us
could see it in the way he does, we
wouldn't complain so much.
And now before I leave, I want to
thank all my friends who have been
so kind in writing to me. Especially
so, do I thank Mr. Charles Heale, of
New .York City, who made a bright
day brighter with his letter.

A Valuable Watch '
Detroit, March 27, 1938.
The Editor, The Huron Eepopitor:
•
Dear Sir; Referring, to an article
-
in your per of March 1$th, a sub-
seriher in. Brussels claimsto have
watcb. 659 years old. Tbis, would
mean it wets made in the year 1279.
The Warlde; Populue Encyclopedia ha.
this to say about wa"tettes:
"The history of watches . is uncer-
tain, but -probably :they were first
made in Nuremberg about the begin-
ning of the lfith century. These.
watches had only an hour hand, the
minute hand being added) late in thee
17th century."
The same Encyclopedia speaking of
clocks says: "The earllei3t clock of
which we have a full description was
made in 1379 by a German named
Henry De Wych and erected in Faris
fon Charles V." ......
If this Brussels subscriber really
has a watch made in 1279, he has
something which is priceless, as it.•
was made exactly 100 yeara 'before
the first known clock.

Favors Pasteurization
March 25192&
The Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: The proposed legislatiora
by the Government of Ontario in fav-
our of compulsory pasteurization of
milk supplies is a na%tter of such
outstanding importance that the facts,.•
in my opinion, about this subject
should be placed before the public:.
Milk, all competent authorities are,
agreed, is our best and cheapest food,
It is in universal use in all house-
holds; it is essential for the food of
children. In view of this milk 'should
be made safe. It is not safe in all
communities. There is overwhelming
-
evidence that many diseases including
Wherculosis, both bovine and human,.
undulant, fev,er, septic sore throat, ty-
phoid fel er, scarlet fever and diph-
theria are carried by raw milk.
Since milk can be made safe, it is.
the obvious duty of governments to'provide for such safety. This can
only be done under present circum-
stances by universal pasteurizationof.
all milk supplies.
The opponents of pasteurization 'us -
confine their arguments to say-
ing that the process of pasteurizatiorr.
destroys certain qualities in the milk
se treated; that it allows of the use
of airty milk; that children and
calves fed on pasteurized milk fail to
thrive so well as those fed on, the
raW'article and that the cost of milk
to tbe consumer would, in the '6ven•t
of pasteurization, be increased. They
do not. deny, because they cannot, in
the face of the evidence, that raw
milk is productive of repeated. epi-
demics of disease, but they say that
tuberculosis from milk may be' pre-
vented by the use of milk from ac-
credited: herds. They conveniently
forget that the accredited herds will
ail to protect children and others
against, for example, typhoid and
scarlet fever, undulant fever, septic -
sore throat and a host of other infec-
tions carried by'raw milk. They for-
get, too, that milk from accredited);
herds has been known to spread tub-
erculosis and besides it will take -
some years ,to complete the establish-
ment of such herds in Ontario.
Let us examine the various objec-
tions to pasteurization,. Mat pas-
teurized milli loses none of its value•
in the process is proven by investiga-
tions carried on in Great Britain', Jim
the United States and elsewhere,-
which show that school children fed
cn pasteurized milk, not only thrive-
ou this •mil-lt but thrive rather better.
tan children fed on the raw article.
The same results were observed in
calves. Calves fed on pasteurizedmilk gained slightly over those fed on.
raw milk.
One cannot deny that in some cas-
es, rather raz-e one thinks, dirty milk.
may be pasteurized and offered for
sale. But is not the same true of
the raw article? The .water of our
cities is sometimes taken from sourc-
es subject to pollution. People evoulcr,
hesitate to drink unverified water
from questionable sources but if sucls
water is purified, by appropriate mea-
sures, does anypne hesitate to drinic
it? Similarly pasteurization 01tnibk
makes it safe for use.
The Bost of pasteurization depends..
upon the quantities handled. In small
plants the cost may reach the one-
half cent a quart. In large plants the -
cost is infinitesimal., This cost should
be assumed, not by the farmer, but
by those benefitting thereby, namely
the consumer. _Heretofore, protection
against contaminated milk has been
given to the people of the large cities.
and towns, while rural communities -
have suffered from the epidemics car-
ried by raw milk. It is time that the.
children of our villages and. country-
side shOuld have similar protection.
There are, as one clinician sug-
gests, three things to think of in re-
lation to the proposed measure of
pasteurization. haw' Milk is often
dangerous! -- Certifled milk, even if
entirely safe, which it is not, is un-
der present conditions impracticable!
Pasteunizedimilk the only safe
milk! Why not ,have it?
