A Serious Situation
It is reported that 'traffic officers
on highways 8 and. 21 report that of
hundreds or automobile headlights
tested on Saturday night list, 90 per
cent. were out of focus.
_.-If that is true, it puts the travel-
ling public in a very serious situa-
tion. Any one who does much night
driving is well aware of that fact.
In fact, it is not too much to say
that a large proportion of the acci-
dents which occur on our highways
at night could be directly traced to
defective car lighting.
Traffic officers, in making this
check up, are doing the right thing,
and they can not be too thorough at
the job,
Provincial Roads Cost Real
Money
The Toronto Daily Star says: "The
new middle road from Brown's line
to Burlington is costing $2,900',000.
The motor car has surely added
heavily to provincial costs—and to
Municipal costs, including policing—
but it has also been a substantial
source of provincial -revenue. The
municipalities have not been so for-
tunate. ' or-
tunate."
That is all very true. The provin-
, cial taxes which followed the advent
of`tlievmdfor car and its use have run
into many millions, of dollars. In fact
the revenue derived from motor lic-
enses, drivers' and owners' permits,
gas tax, etc., have proven the great-
est source of revenue that any pro-
vincial government has ever had the
luck to have at its disposal.
And Provincial Governments have
disposed of that 'revenue, make no
mistake about that. If, however, the
Provincial Goverrinie'iits.. had used -
this- "revenue for road building and
maintenance alone, the municipali-
ties- would have little to complain
about.
If that policy had' been followed
our provincial highways would all be
paid for. But what really did hap-
pen was that the Provincial Govern-
ments used the highways as an ex-
cuse for collecting the automobile
'taxes and then turned the revenue
to bolster up expenditures in other
departments of government, with
the result that not one of our pro-
vincial highways is paid for. Still
worse, these highways have added a
good many millions of dollars to our
public debt, which means that the
people are not only paying all the
automobile taxes, but are paying al-
so interest on the highway debt.
It is true that the demands of the
automobile have forced the Govern-
ment into building provincial high-
ways. But even at that, the Govern-
bent could take a leaf out of the
ef the municipalities, when it
conies to road building and road
' building costs
We do not know just how good
this new $3,000,000 middle road is,
but we have no hesitation in saying
that we have many miles of comity
roads in Huron that are just as per-
manent and just as smooth to travel
on 'pas any, provincial highway we
have ever seen, and which were built
at a cost pf less than a dollar for ev-
ery thousand spent by the Govern-
ment.

Nevertheless, it takes an- outstand-
ing man and one who pbsssesses an
amazing courage, to undertake such
a• feat. And this is how the New
York World -Telegram describes
that man:
"Howard Hughes, aged thirty-
two; estimated to be worth $38,000,-
000; aviator, off man, motion picture
producer; boy friend of Katharine
Hepburn; over six •feet tall, lanky;
does not smoke; averages one drink

ental speed record Los Angeles to
Newark of 7 hours, 28 minutes, 25
" seconds tranuary ` 19, 1937, at 332
miles an hour; a Texan."
That, in brief, is the marvellous
man Howard Huggies. And, briefly,
we might say—and most people will
agree with us—that Mr. Hughes is
welcome to all these records, and any
other he may make in future. Btit,
if we, or most people, possessed
thirty-eight .million dollars in our
own names, or even a paltry million,
we or they would keep both feet on
the ground, and pay some one else to
ado the record breaking.

In The Clothing Business
American politics and the ways of
American governments are • not as
familiar to -us on this side of the line
as our Own, of course, but at the
same time they could not be called
entire mysteries to the people of this
Dominion.
At least it used to be that way, but
now we are not so sure. Ever since
President Roosevelt took over the
reins of power there has been a
change and a marvellous change at
that.
Now we are not so sure. The
' Americans may fully comprehend,
and some approve, of their own state
of politics and their own Govern-
ment's doings, but to us on this side
of the line these same doings are a
little bewildering, to say the least.
Not so very long ago Canadians
were amazed to learn that American
farmers were being paid, and liberal,-
-
beral-- Tji paid; not to grew- hogs; ` not to
raise crops and for killing off their
cattle.
That was farming de luxe and the
American farmers made piles of
money out of it. And, no doubt, ap-
proved of those farming methods
too.
But to the rest of the population
it looked a little as if the farmer was
getting much the better of the deal.
So much so, that we understand
there were some )dud complaints.
Apparently, however, the Govern-
ment is going to play no favorites.
The farmers have had their innings,
or are still' having them, and now it
• is the clothing Lnanufacturer's'tlurn..
The Government has gone into the
clothing business. And in a big way
too., Last week the Government
purchased 1,250,000 men's and boys'
suits, which is the largest civilian or-
der in history.
In fact it represents a two-year
surplus of the American wholesale
clothing industry. And having sold
theirentire stocks for good Govern-
ment money, the wholesale clothiers
must now be sitting pretty. Either
ready to retire, or with the ready
cash with which to build up another
surplus.
But the American Government is ,
not in the clothing business to make
money. Far from it. What the
Government is going to do is give
these million and a quarter suits of
c of thes away. Any unemployed man
or boy can have one.
That will suit the unemployed and
the clothiers too. But what about
the other industries and lines of busi-
ness? The farmers, the wholesale
clothing manufacturers and the un-
employed are not the only people in
the country. Only a fraction of
them.. -
Frankly, we don't know, and if the
Govern/nett does it has not yet dis-
closed who will be the next to re-
ceiye a visit from Santa Claus. The

Mise• at Yfi r
'hI OsiferN of Lazy Meadows
' (By H#Pry J. IBpyle)
•
"CITY FIDS" .
We've got' visitors here at Lazy
Meadows. Two of my sister-in-law's
children, Betty and Billy, arrived on
the noon train last Thursday, and
since that time they've been allowed
the freedom of the farm. It's their
first 'visit ,and i I mustconfess that
they see'lfl to he enjoying themselves
to the limit.
I met them with Annabelle bitched
to the democrat, because I felt that
a car, ride wouldn't be such a thrill
to them: Right off th'e questions
started about the horse, Did it have
colts? How many did it have in a
year?' How old was it? Could they
drive? And I'm very much afraid
that Annabelle thought I had ,been
imbibing as they sawed back and
fofth .on the reins on the way home.
.Lazy Meadows! They had hardily
alighted from the democrat before
they, were off exploring. Jim, •one of
the local progeny,- went along as a
sort of sage ,adviser. He expressed
wonderment that anyone could be so
ignorant of the affairs of a farm. And
even he was stumped by times at the
perplexing questions •that seemed to
crop up.
Haying is one Of, their special de-
lights.. Billy proudly, if somewhat er-
atically, drives the team down the
rows while the hired man shoves it.
up. Betty is 011 Shand to ride back up
to the barn. ' 'They sat and watched
with • decided interest as the hay -York
pulled the bundles up and then dump-
ed them in the back of the mow,
Milking time sees both of them
bringing up the cows. Sucbansuch,
the Collis pup, who has managed the
chore quite -easily so far this year, is
puzzled while they take •over tie' du-
ties. When a straying bossy yields i!o
temptation and slips through open
bars into a grain field he comes to
the rescue. They squeal with delight
as•we are milking, and when the,wife
isn't around r' add' to their joy by
squ•i'rting milk at them.
By the time that the lights are :it
up in the kitchen they're played out
and tumble leto bed. T'I1 bet they're
dreaming of the grand, new world
called the cobtntry and of the stories
they'll have to ,relate' when they get'
bace.
Jim, our own lad, was just a little
milky about the wb,ole affair. I knew'
that because I overheard him arguing
Ole nioreiag at the corner of the
drive shed with Billy about the mer-
its of fishing back in the river. He
cautioned Billy above, all to not men-
tion it to me, because I wanted him
to hoe turnips. The city lad was just,
a little puzzled, and it seems ,that lie
wanted to help me draw in the hay,
feeling that bis services in driving
could not be dispensed with.
When I saw ,Tim plod away to the
root field with the hoe without hav-
ing to be threatened to do it, I was
certain,t, that affairs were definitely
serious. • So ,taking a- hand in the
whole thigg, I told. Billy that we
wouldn't need him because wee were
going to draw hay in from the south
field. His face lighted up and soon I
aw ?the lads sneak the fishing pole
'ut from the drive shed; and slip
down through the (hollow and back
down to the river. That night they
were back, tired but happy, with a
catch that I must confess was bigger
than many I had drawn myself. It
made a' fine meal for the three of
them the next day.
Solomon, the • gander, 'simply
doesn't seem to like them. It may
be the fact that they're Froin the city,
but he loudly 'hisses at Billy every
chance he gets. Billy just as strong-
ly doesn't like the gander. In fact,
as he was enquiring from me last
night how long it would take him to
save enough money for 'a farm, he
told me in confidence that he wasn't
going to have a goose on the whole
farm.
I sometimes wonder as I see them
enjoying their young selves so much,
will they grow up and call all farmers
"hicks."

Wales Re -adjusts Self
• •
As Fortunes Change
•
•
South Wales has seen greater fluc-
tuations in its fortunes .in the last 75
years than perhaps any other cone
parable area in the world. In the 50
years previous to the World War,,
this area, the population of which has
never risen above 2,000,400 absorbed
two-thirds of a million people from
other parts of Britain during pros-
perity; between 1921 and 1936 some
350,000 people moved back again dur-
ing depression.
'ibe era of Industrial expansion left
deep imprints on the people, even as
it did on the lovely countryside. There
are grim probletns for administrators
at Westminster. and sociel wdrkers in
the mining valleys of Glamorganshire.
But this dark chapter for economists
and historians has a brighter side.
Adversity failed to quench the Cel-
tic fite•ane enthusiasm of this brave
people, true to the Welsh tradition.
Conquering. Romans found the Welsh
more than they could .manage, and
the Welsh stand against domination
by England is constantly repeated in
the It story of Britain,
On certain occasions Wales forgets
its problems. One of them is when
the national team is playing in a Rug-
by football match; another is at ate
Eisteddfod. It is on the latter occa-
sion that one realizes how deep are
the roots of Welsh culture. But for
the present let us examine some of
the problems whkb must be faced.
Special Area
As South Wales .is listed as one .if
Britain's Special Areas, its •difficul-
ties have been the subject of wide
investigation. A summary of the sit-
uation has lately •been radiocast by
Dr. Brinley Thomas, distinguished
Lecturer in Economics at the London
School of Economics, and others.
Foundations of South Wales de-
velopment were coal and iron. Re-
mote valleys previously inhabited, by
a few farmers were turned hastily
into towns which soon became con -
grated and overflowed into villages.
linglish, Irish, Scots and even Italians
went with native Welsh into the melt -
leg pot of these new communities.
Trade was largely export of coal and
iron. Between 1871 and 1911 the
number of coal miners in Glamorgan
rose from 34,000 to 150,000 'and the
output of coal increased from 8,500,-
000
,500;000 tons a year to 35,500,000 tons.`
In 1920 there were 270,000 miners
employed in the South Wales ooai
field. • Today there. are about 130,000.
Wales' industry was lopsided before
the World War, but need for armam-
e'11ts,-and ;coal at that time made it
tie itself eVen more recklessly to coal,
tree: and steel. 'today it is seeking
a iiew mores baskets in, which to pIlt

to generate electricity was developed
and many ships installed oil instead
of coal burners.
Since 1936 South Wales' iron and
steel have been comparatively active.
The output of steel ingots and cast-
ings in 1936 was 2,421,000 tone, which
was higher than the previous peak of
2,3264000 tons in 1929. But it is gen-
erally
enerally accepted that the coal industry
cannot expect to return to the im-
mediate post-war level. '
Between 1921 arld 1931 242,000 peo-
ple left the area, of -*hon. 50 per Cent
were between the ages of 15 and 30.
Under a Ministry of Labor transfer-
ence scheme a total of about 43,000
men, women, boyo and girls were
transferred from. South Wales be-
tween 1933 and 1937. Half of the
men transferred in 1936 were married
and with families.
New Produce •
While migration gives many fami-
lies a new start in life, it has several
undesirable effects on the districts
vacated. The average age of the
working population becomes older; Lo-
cal business loses by decreased pur-
chasing Dower; local authorities find
it difficult. to pay for services; rates
have to be increased, which in turn
discourages new enterprises.
But South Wales has shown a fine
aptitude for adjusting itself to the sit-
uation. New factories are being built
-to produce goods never ibefore assoc-
iated with the area. The Treforest
Trading Estate, for instance, repre-
sents a new element of diversity in
Welsh industrial life. Some 20 fac-
tories to give work to 5,000 are being
erected, at this center. They are to
produce articles like toys, fancy goods,
leather goods, typewriter ribbons, car-
bons and electrical fittings.
The future of social services and
schools is causing the authorities
some concern. In the town of Mer-
thyr Tydfil, which is a kind of pock-
et edition of a Special Area, 50 per
cent, of tee rate levied is 'absorbed
in public assistance. It is recognized
that unless the drift of the young
population is stopped there is little
'reason to believe that this will dim-
inish.
Social Work
In ,the South Wales area there
has been a.decline in the number of
school children of 02,600 in four years.
This bas had one beneficial effect in
reducing the size of classes. But
lack of fund is restricting the pro-
gress of local educations aubhoritles.
A shadow has been cast over the
churches by shrinking congregations.
The excessive sectarianism of Welsh:
religion
has hot helped this situatiorf.
'Another cause of redundance in plac-
es of worsihip is that Wales is bi
liiigtial.
Long-term unemployment is more
llrevd;lent in South Wales than in any
other part of. llritain. I>ti Tune, 1936;
