Show A Little Courtesy
Over the week -end we had a touch
of spring. The banks of snow piled ,
along the streets and highway : in
town.. melted into pools of water,
which partly covered the .pavement.
A.s the , sidewalks are not .plowed_an ._ _
winter, pedestrians have to use the
road ' pavements, ; and picking one's
way over • and around the pools of
water is a,. process that can not be
hurried. '
For that reason, motorists should
show a little courtesy. Under the cir-
cumstances, the pedestrian has just
as ..much right on the pavements ;as._.
the motorist, but at the same -time
they are at the motorists' mercy. It
is unsafe, to dispute the right of way
with a car or truck, and too many
motorists take advantage'' of that
fact.
Already many pedestrians have
had to scramble up the snowbanks to
avoid a shower of water thrown up
by a speeding caror truck, and more
than a few have been soaked and had
clothes ruined by the same;,careless
lumen ;behind wheels.
It shouldnot be that way now, or
in the future, because summer is not
here yet, and there will be many
other days before it does arrive,
when the .streets will be in just the
samecondition as theywere over the
week -end.
Making an example of a few care-
less or reckless drivers would help of
course, - but when pedestrians are
trying : to scramble to safety, it .is
next to impossible to catch a car
number, and unless a driver is
known, the walker just has to take
his or - her ducking and let , it go at
that. .
For the most part it is callous in --
difference on the part of the motor-
ist, but . we -believe ; a real check-up
and .a few charges laid would go a
long way to clearing up an intoler-
able situation. Or, if every motorist
would mentally change, places 'with
every pedestrian he ;f meets on the
streets duringthe spring thaws, we
believe common courtesy would
make them show much greater • care
and 'watchfulness, when they are
driving:

Growing Old
Ontario farmers, all through the
war, performed one of the most stu-
pendous efforts in the- Allied Cause.
They produced. And they did it un -
der conditions that . hampered • no
' other war effort ..to anything like the
same degree.
They are still doing it, but the On-
tario farmer is getting old: We need .
a new generation on the land. We
noticed recently statistics that gave
the average age of farmers in Sas-
katchewan as 53 years. And there is
every reason • to believe that the av-
erage of Ontario farmers is that, or
more: Saskatchewan... reports '4,000
over 70 years of age, and 1,000 over
'68. Would not Ontario's record be •--
very similar? - •-
These men may be said to have
reached the retiring age, but many
of them are not retiring because they
can not afford to. And many more
were' unable to retire because of the
war and the demands it "made upon
'agriculture. But in) a very few years
age will force all these . men off the
active list.
The question is: Who will replace •'
- them? ' Farming is a job 'requiring
long hours and hard physical work,
Arid mostly through the .war years,
farming in Ontario had_ been done by
-' old men and women, That situation
. r Serves warning that" we' must bring
'back to the land younger men Who ..,,.
Are botsraet" al '. and .'coal tent'.
p
ay a mora sons who have
served in the different'serviees, both
at home and overseas, ar'e back, or'
soon will be ba. s, to replace their
fathers .on the Tarin But too many
are looking' for easier jobs that will
pay much better wages.
The. world :_has learned the_ hard
way that there never can be, too
Much food ;produced, •and the present
world situation which has reached
the ' starvation point in many coun-
tries of the world, is proof enough,
if any is need, of what happens when
men leave or are forced off the land.
Canada is one of the greatest pro-
ducing nations in the world, and On-
tario one of its greatest producing
provinces, vvith thousands of acres
of good rich°. soil. Consequently it
has a duty an ,) esponsibility to `all
the world to see that these acres do
produce.
Ontario and Canada need a lot of
young ;new farmers,, and they need
them now.

Might Apply To Both
In discussing child' delinquency,
the Municipal World, of St. Thomas,
which for many decades las devoted
its columns to municipall problems,
and is known in every Ontario mun-
icipality, made a very startling sug-
gestion when it said:
"Recently we heard some rather
startling figures about the number
of children who do not attend any
Sunday School. It seems also that
juvenile delinquency is considerably --
higher among those who do not at -
,tend.
"Why,then, shouldn't attendance
at Sunday School; like attendance at
public school, be made compulsory -
up to a certain age? Let the child
attend some Sunday School ,within a
reasonable distance from his home,
and require him to produce at day
school on Monday evidence of his
having attended Sunday School.
There might be some objection at
first, but . we think that in ''the ,long -
run the beneficial - results . to the in-
dividual pupil, and his community,
would more than justify- the :effort."
There is no doubt but that •, the
moral part of youth education is just
as important, or even more so, than
any other in the 'forming of useful
and - progressive - citizenship. And,
possibly, on that basis, the govern-
ment could enact such legislation,
the result of which would possibly
be a better future world than the
one of today. - •
But human nature being -what it
is, r in that event, we can foresee a
good many parents, after having
their day of rest sadly broken ,b--
having to get up and get 'their chil-
dren off to Sunday School, raising a.,•.
healthy. protest. And their claim
would be that their --sacred right ` to .
bring uptheir children in ignorance
of Christianity was being ignored
and violated. -
There is, however, much More to
this proposed compulsory attendance
at Sunday School than that. If it is
a good and desirable thing, for boys
and girls to attend ''Sunday School,
wouldn't it be -just as good and de-
sirable in the interests of better Citi-
zenship to pass a measure compelling-,,
parents to attend church ? 'Comps Compul-
sion ' in that case would seem to be
just as fully justified as in the other.

Bring It Along
Britishchemists searching for a
.domestic by-product to replace na-
tural waxes which are imported
from. South America, are reported to- ^"'
have found a real one. '
The new discovery is "April," a
by-product of "margarine, coal and
other articles, available ingreat
quantities in that country, and its
chief secret is that it does not react
to heat until it is subjected to 280 de-
grees centigrade, as compared to na-
tural waxes at 92 degrees. '
It is claimed for the new discovery
that shoe polish made with "Abid"
will'shinfor weeks after one ap-
p`lication,° and paints and wall paper
-will retain their 1 etre longer; cos-
meties will keep their charm, and
graxnaphone records will play more
naturally; and carbon paper will last
fourtimes as long.
There are...a -lot of other claims for
it tod, but -if it will keep. our ,shoes
shining for weeks with ane nppliea- ,
tion, we are all for it. Bring it along..._.

Questions Fading Bacon Industry
In the bourse of a review in the
February issue of _the "Economic
Annalist" of the wartime develop-
ments in the Canadian live stock and

! These are questions, says Mr.
Leckie, whit:h'at the moment are of
vital concern to the entire. live stock

first to the possible future of the bac-
on hog industry, it is not yet clear
what volume of export. bacon Canada
may count on -'"shipping in post-war
years; -although alt figure of. 450 mil-
lion pounds has been -suggested. On
the supply side, the level of hog pro-
duction which can be maintained de-
pends on a' number of factors, in-
cluding the supply and• Price, of feed
grains, and labor, the, attractiveness
of -competing products and the gen-
eral reaction of farmers to hog pro-
duction prospects.
From the demand side, while it does
appear likely that the United King-
dom will continue as the chief, export
market for Canadian bacon, yet the
quantities which she may' be in a
Position to accept depends, in' turn,
on her home production policies, the
opportunities for reciproca!•trade, and
several other factors. Moreover,
there .will certainly be' competition in
the bacon trade which Canada will
have to meet on the British Market.

in wartime, namely; that Wiltshire

Canada in large volume and of good
