Time To Get Ready
Huron County is to have the _In-
ternational, Plowing Match in 1942.
That may seem a long time ahead—
and it is. Many things „'will happen
before 1942 rolls along, perhaps some
Of the most important events in the
history of our country. .But we can
look forward to that time with --ev-
ery confidence.
For that reason 1942 is not too far
away to start preparations for the
International Plowing Match, which
will be one ,of the most historic, if
not the .most historic event in the
history". of Huron County.
Already the organization work
for this great International event is
well under way, and in very capable
hands too. But from now on work
will be intensified because the com-
mittees in charge know full well
what is before them, and Huron
County has never failed yet when it
set its mind on accomplishing any-
thing, great or small.
Year by year the International
Plowing Match is establishing new
records in number and variety of en-
tries and classes, and above all, es-
tablishing new records in attend-
ance.
In four days last week, it is re-
liably reported that' one hundred
and ninety-five thousand people at-
tended this event at St. Thomas,
which is some seventy-five thousand
more than were in attendance in any
previous year.
All of which means that in four
days of 1942, Huron County will be
failed upon to entertain strangers to
the number of four times her whole
pc• ululation. And in anyone of those
days' strangers to the number of
t"tt, ice her population, `and in all pro-
bability even' a greater number than
that. ,
fact, the average resident of
Huron has but the faintest concep-
tion of what is before them, and of
the tremendous responsibilities that
will rest upon the shoulders of the "
,officials , in charge,_ and the perfect
organization machine it will be nec-
essary to set up in order to handlnf
such a gathering.
However, it has been done before
in other places, and we confidently
believe will be done again by Huron
—even a little better and a little
more perfect, if the people in town
andcountry will • extend to . the of-
ficials their whole hearted co-opera-
tion. It is the .biggest task Huron
has ..ever set her hand to, but even
so, we will bank on Huron County.
And now is the time to get ready.

A Danger To Be Met
In t • recent outbreak of hog
cholera in Western Ontario, the
farmers of this part of Ontario have
a crisis on their hands, and a dan-
ger that has to be met and over-
come now, before it reaches any
more serious proportions.
Hog cholera is not • a curable dis-
eate Still worse, it does not affect
single aninmals. When one hog is
attacked, it seems to be only a mat-
= t',er of ,hours, orat ,most, days, be-
' Ore ;all • the hogs on a farm are sim-
afected and from there it

part of the authorities apparently
al .ped out the disease. But t is an.
Easy disease to carry, and, appar-
ently,it has been carried back to us
a'gain,
There is only one method to be
employed with this disease. When
a hog is infected it has to be
slaughtered and then burned or bur-
ied, and buried deeply too, and only
drastic measures taken at the first
can gain the upper hand.
To town and, city dwellers, hog
cholera is merely a name, but to a
breeder or farmer who has experi-
enced it on his farm, or even in his
vicinity, it 'is one of the worst
scourges that can visit a farm in
any community.
In war timeit is even a greater
calamity. At this particular time,
and for some time to come, Canada,
in large measure, is not only the
granary.. of the British Empir-e, but
its -greatest source of meat supplies
as well, and, consequently, this is no
time to fall down on our production.

Who Rules France?
When King Leopold of Belgium
surrendered his army to Germany
and left the French and British in
a desperate hole, his name was re-
moved . from the order of the French
Legion of Honor by the Frenchwar-
time government of , Premier Paul
Reynaud.
Last week ' t h e announcement
Game from Vichy, the present seat
of the French government, that
King Leopold had again' been re-
stored to this former great French
honor.
The announcement, it is true,
came from the French Government
at Vichy, but .as the news of the
change came over the German radio,
one could be, excused for wondering
at whose instigation the restoration
was made, or who " really rules
France.

The Ford And The Ford Family:
It is a -bit queer when you come to
think about it, what a difference a
little utility car has made between
families.
Take the Fond family for instance_
The American Securities' Commis-
sion recently reported that three
members of that family -Henry
,Ford, his son, Edsel, and Edsei's.
wife, Mrs. Clara. J. Ford—own all
the stock in the Ford Company, and
in so doing rank as the wealthiest
family in America.
Nor is that hard to believe, con-
sidering the fact that on December
31, 1937, the Ford Company . stock
had a value of $624;975,000, and we
doubt if it has shrunk much in value
since that time.
On the other hand, that same lit-
tle utility car has put a great many
other families out on the road,;
others into the poor house, and still
more into the cemeteries.
But even so, what would the world
have done, or whatwould it continue
to do, without that same little utility
car?

A Real Coal Bill
We are told by the Mines and Re-
sources Department of Canada that
new waterpower installations in this
country during N1940• will. develop
-more.- than 325,000 horsepower of
electric energy.
This increase will bring Canada's
hydro development to more than
8,600,000 horsepower by the' end of
this year.
But what is shill more interesting
is the information from the same
source that it would take 40,000,000
tons of coal annually to produce the
power Canada's rivers provide by
water just rolling along through the
turbines in the power houses.
Wouldn't that be a real Boal bill
for Canada to settle ' eve ' year, if
she could? And to which would
b
have to ;
v be added thepyof thou -

a hen r

But our rivers just roll along and

"STOVES"
•
We're back im the ;stove season
again. Already .the parlor stove. is
called upon on certain occtastons to
d'is'pense a (little warmth for the bene-
fit of visitors. ` Soon it will be open
ating regularly along with the ki'tehen
range. As: usual, rile head of the
household is called upon to be the
official morning starter for the stovers.
It was always one of the pet griev-
ances of my father, that no matter
how Fre tried, he was always called
upon to light the fires. Now and
again, from his bed, he would an-
nounce in a casual voice that could
be heard 'at least a rifle away, that
he wasn't feeling very weld. This
would cone at about five' o'clock In
the morning , . . 'accompanied- by'
a very loud an prolonged serines, of
groans. - There- wolu•Idt:. -be -a Lead-,.sal-
ence then for some ....time, during
which everyone pretended steep. Ex
asperated at last, he would say, "I
could die in an ice box of a house
and nobody would venture to light a
fire." Still no sound until my mother
would say, "I'll light the fire." "No,"
°he would roar. "Phil, you get up and
light that kitchen fire night now!"
There was no tooling about that tone,.
and se with my overalls half on ° and
half off and my shirt trailing, I would
hipety-hop on tie cold floor down the
stairs and into' the kitchen.
First of all there wasthe vain hope
that someone had put a maple or
beech Bleck dri the stove before re-
tireng: A bed of coals left from such
a block would tie an excellent start
for a good fire. No'such luck! Them,
there wou-Ld come the padnfirl time of
remembering of being told on the
previous night to get kindling " "
and 'of ho -w it had been neglected.
Papers and' ashes and wood
by the time that fire was going there
would be a trail from the back kit-
chen door to the stove. Once I re-
member 'of being particularly bard

of fine white ashes flew up into his
face. Mother was "death" on coal

thing she wouLdl do upon entering:
the kitchen door would be -to. Off'
seeletciously, If there was the least
taint of coal' oil in the air She 'would
glare at me and say: "If I catch you
usimtg eoal on 'to start that' fire again,
I'll tan -you."
The question of who was to light
the fire developed by time into a
regular duel. If any of the boys were
oonsfrained into doing it, they Would
manage to upset the stovepipes or
else smote up the- Mouse .so badly
that Mother would say, "If I have to
light the fines myself in order to see
that it's done right, it seems a mighty
funny thibtg to me." •
The parlor stove was in the • room
dinntatiyr_below_aur bedroom. Father
used to retaliate at bur ebenanrgans
in avoiding the ordeal of 1ighting the
fire by keeping up a continual din as
he workedaround the fine, Shortly
after the kitchen fire could be beard
roaring up the cbimmey he would
shake down the parlor stove. "Clank-
ety-Clank-Bang!" Thein the stove door
would slam several tunes. The orna-
niental top and the lid on the top of
the uptight stove would be removed
and slammed into , place - several
tunes.. 'The pipes .would be tapped to
knock the soot down opt of them
. the damper would' serape and
turn and 'squeal and growl into place
, . the ash bucket would clung
into place . . . and 'as a final touch
all the doors on the stove would be
given a resounding clank. Then the
flames would start and the pipes
would begun to tfcc :: with the heat.

British t Naval •,
Of the 6,772 steamers and motor -
ships of 100 tons and upwards regis-
tered under the British flag at the
beginning of this- year, no fewer than
4,247 are of less than 2,000 tons.
Many of these are vessels of the
coasting. type, pr .those used innee-
mal times for the shorter voyages to
the Continent.,
Britain's larger ports specialize in
the import and export .of certain com-
modities carried by oceangoing steam-
ers from and to the uttermost parts
of the world. But the, smeller coas-
tal ports, used by small vessels, play

be termed the secondary distribution
of Britain.

coasting trade is entirety responsible
