The Town Needs One, Too
In a recent editorial in the Fergus
News -Record, under the heading of
"The Village • Needs . One," Hugh
Templin said: "The Fergus council
is wrestling with the problem of a
new rest room for the village. Ev-
erybody admitsthat it is something
badly needed. Reeve. Atchison had
this as one of the planks of his plat-
form when he was elected at the, be-
ginning of the year. He- assures us
he has not forgotten about it. He
still wants a supervised rest room in
a central location ill Fergus, • and—
would
nd•'would welcome any suggestions. We
believe others in the council feel the
.same way about it.
"Fergus has a large and prosper-
ous countryside around it, and Fer-
gus merchants welcome trade from
the district. With gasoline plentiful
again, and with many of the farm
cars with new tires on them, it is
just as easy to go somewhere else.
Women and children, in particular,
need some place to go where they
know they are welcome. There is
not even a hotel in Fergus now. The
restaurants do not want- any one be-
sides their customers using their
lavatory facilities. The garages, no
doubt, feel the same way.
"Whether the council should take
steps next year to provide such a
building near the heart of Fergus, or
whether it should confer with the Re-
tail Merchants' Association, the Wo-
men's Institute and other interested
organizations, is something we are
not going to decide..... But as we said,
'any suggestion would probably be
welcomed."
This town needs a rest room too.
Although Fergus is incorporated as
a village only, it has a considerably
larger population than the Town of
Seaforth. But it has neither as large
nor as prosperous a countryside
around it. Consequently, the need of
such. a public utility here is even
greater than in the northern village.
It is true we have three hotels here,
besides several restaurants and gar-
ages, but it is just as unreasonable
for the council or the citizens of the
town to expect these places to main-
tain public facilities at their own ex-
pense as it is to expect private homes
to provide that accommodation.
It is true also that Seaforth has
provided a public rest room in form-
er years, but the experiment had to
be abandoned because the public, and
particularly the country public, so
abused the privileges offered that
the expense of maintenance was con-
siderably more than the town could
afford. And, let it be said, the ex-
pense was, not caused by cost of sup-
ervision, because there was none, but
by the cost of repairs, made neces-
sary, almost daily, by the indiffer-
ence, ,carielessness and often pure
vandalism of the public.
As a matter of fact, the whole
question of a public rest room—its
use or abuse—centres on one point—
supervision. 'Such a public utility
should be under careful and con-
stant supervision. Supervision that
has teeth in it, which will permit of
strict enforcement of all rules, re-
gardless of any opposition and re-
gardleSs of persona
di of course, would cost money.

The four Allied .Q:eeupying „powers
in Germany have forbidden all re-
ligious and racial prosecution in that
country. The same policy is being
enforced` in Japan by the United
States; and Germany and Japan are
the chief homes where racialism has
been carried on.
Thi, four power declaration to this
effect reads: "The German authori-
ties Aust obey all prescriptions (of
the Allies) concerning the abolition
of laws dealing with color, racial and
religious discrimination. The Ger-
man authorities mut obey all or-
ders issued by the Allies and con-
cerning the property, assets and
rights, and interests of. persons dis-
criminated against previously by
Nazi legislation, because of race, re-
ligion, color, language, etc. Nobody
must be molested by the German
authorities or by German subjects
or persecuted on account of religion,
race, color or language or political
leaning.*
That is very explicit, and to most
people's way of thinking, very just
too. But having enforced such a
policy- on Germany and Japan, what
are the Allies—Canada being one of
them—going to ,do about the racial
discrimination at home?
Recently in the Caladian House.
of Commons, more than one member
has voiced the demand that all per -
Sons of Japanese origin, whether in
British Columbia or other parts of
the Dominion, be refused residence
in Canada. Possibly a majority of
these people have been born in Can-
ada. Some families have been in this
country for two or three genera-
' tions; others have become British
subjects, and still others have fought
through the war on the Allied side.
It would seem neither right 'nor
reasonable for Canada to permit
persecution of its Japanese subjects
in the face of the fact that she is one
of the parties who are' enforcing a
policy of racial and religious free-
dom in Japan and Germany. In fact
such action would only make a farce
of their warnings to the people in
the conquered countries.

Views On Prosperity
Government, industry and labor
are unanimously agreed that there
is one thing that will provide gen-
uine business -prosperity and full em-
ployment, ,and that is mass markets.
Unfortunately, it would appear that
all three have different ideas its to
how mass markets -can be obtained.
Some manufacturers seem to think
that all that is necessary now is for
them to produce goods sufficient to
meet the public demand. ,That would
employ even the labor of returned
men. Many retailers viewing the ac-
cumulation of war wages and war
bonds in peeples' pockets, believe a
substantial raise in manufacturers'
products would he all right. They can
pass it on. But both seem to forget
that a day will come when the war
money will all have been spent, and
high-pricedgoods can no longer be
bought. And that will be followed
by an over accumulation of stocks
and unemployment.
Labor is demanding shorter hours
and increased wages equal to War-
time pay. But shorter hours and
longer wages means • increasing the
cost of everything the consumer has
to buy. Consequently there comes a
day there too, when employers can
no longer raise the -Wages, and un-
employment heads in there.
In fact there is only one way in
which mass production can be main -
tailed, and that is by reducing the
cost of the goods manufactured. Any
price that is within the purse of the,
ordinary man on the street will pro-
duce a turnover that will keep the
wheels turning, labor employed and
retailers in business.
It might be possible to have full
production for a time, even with
shorter hours, war wages and high
selling prices, because of the great
scarcity in 'all domestic needs. But
only those getting bonuses, war wag
•es, or with war profits in their pock-
ets, could' be the buyers. When, how-
ever;, they had spent their money

Need For Proteins in Feeding Hogs' in the autumn.
The cereal grains, oats, barley and
wheat are all too low in the quantity
and quality of thea proteins to make
a wellbalanced ration. Because of
their palatability and the relatively
large content of high quality proteins,
skim milk or buttermilk as they come
from the separator or churn are valu-
able feeds for, hogs. However, abrupt
changes from one to the other or
from sweet skim milk to sour skim
milk or vice versa should be 'avoid-
ed. When skim milk or buttermilk is
scarce the results in fall pig raising
may prove disappointing unless a
substitute is provided. In the ab-
sence of milk, tankage or' a mixed
commercial protein concentrate
should be included in the meal mix-
ture. For greatest economy the tank-
age or commercial concentrate used
in the feed should be supplied gener-
ously at the start and gradually re-
duced. Results of a large number of
experiments conducted at the Domin-
ion Experimental Station, Lacombe,
Alta., with, respect to the feeding of
tankage to market, hogs indicates
that for pigs from weaning to 100
pounds the grains should be supple-
mented with eight to 12 per cent.
tankage, preferably the higher level,
immediately after weaning and four
tc six per cent. tankage from 100
pounds until the pigs reach the ideal
-market weight of 200 pounds. If
commercial concentrate is used it
should be' fed according to the recom-
mendations of the manufacturer. The
addition of supplements greatly in
excess of the recommendations, or
improper mixing may lead to diges-
tive troubles.
Garden Clean -Up Will Destroy Insects
Most insects hibernate out-of-doors
in one stage of development or
another. In the Canadian climate,
protection of some sort is , essential
to enable them to survive the sub-
zero temperatures, In some cases this
protection is provided by the insects
themselves and takes the form of
thicker cocoons, impervious coverings
to egg -masses, woolly coats (on cat-
erpillars) and so on, says Alan G.
Dustan, Division of Entomology, Do-
minion Department of Agriculture.
In satiny instances, however, the
Insects must rely on insulating
materials quite apart from their own
bodies, and probably the most com-
monly used is plant refuse, such as
coverings, of dead, leaves, masses of
withered' grass near 'the ground sur-
face; hollow stems of plants or piles
of refuse found in or nearby c,iltivht-
ed fields or g4rdens,etu winter

The careful gardener takes advant-
age .el this habit on the part of
insectsto reduce their numbers and
limit the insects which will emerge
the following spring. By raking up
and burning all dead leaves, old
grass, wilted plants and other sources
of shelter, a large percentage of-, in-
sects hibernating in the garden will
be at once destroyed or will die of
exposure during the autumn, winter
or early spring months. Burning ov-
er grassland and weedy areas adjac-
ent to the garden will .also, kill many
eggs, cocoons, hibernating 'caterpil-
lars and some adult forms, such as
butterflies and beetles. A11 of which
will be found helpful. If this prac-
tice is neglected, a large proportion
of the insects which inhabit the gar-
den in the fall will pass through the
winter successfully to emerge in the
spring to seriously damage the new
crops when they are breaking through
the soil. Garden sanitation is one of
the most important steps in insect
control and will pay large dividends
if carefully carried out.
Poultry Cost Records
Both at the Central Farm, Ottawa,
and in every other Dominion Experi-
mental Farin, accurate cost accounts
are kept on all poultry operations,
with the result that figures are 'avail-
able for incubation, brooding, rear-
ing, egg production and .fattening
costs under the varied conditions met
with in different parts of the coun-
try: Problems of marketing of eggs
and stock of all kinds are given due
consideration, particularly in so far
as preparation .,for market is con-
cerned. The figures are at the

keepers at alt times.
Winter Overhaul of Farm Machinery
Late fall and winter are generally
the most convenient times to adjust
and repair agricultural machinery,
and much reconditioning can. be done
with tools available on the farm. Re-
pairs that cannot be done on the farm
should be taken to the blacksmith
or other repairman as early as pos-
sible,.so that the work of the repair-
man may be evenly distributed
throughout the winter. After the fall
work on the Parra has been complet-
ed, many farmers make a point of
drawing up a list of parts of ma-
chinery which should be replaced
and repaired, and in the ease of
parts that cannot be repaired blit
