SEAFORTH, Friday, March 15th
Huron. Magistrate
Mr. James W. Morley, K.C., barris-
ter, of Exeter, has been appointed' by ,
the Ontario Government, to • act -,as
Police Magistrate for Huron Countk:,
The appointment is not only well
merited, but one . •which will meet
- with ye'ry general approval through-
out the whole county. Mr, .,Morley
has., carried , on one of the largest
legal practises in Western Ontario
at Exeter for over twenty years, and
is very widely known.
-He possesses every quality neces-
sary_for his high position, -and his
well known ability and reputation
for fairness will inspire confidence
in the public in the administration of
justice in this county. -
Not only is Mr. Morley to be con-
gratulated, but the people of Huron,,`
in having a magistrate' of such in-
tegrity and .ability:•

There. Is Plenty Of Time
March came in like a lamb;' and a
very meek lamb at that. For a week
or more we had a touch of something
very akin to spring weather. And ,
everyone was delighted. And then
came more cold and iceand snow.
And everyone started to grumble.
Why? We know right well thatin
this part of :.the country, real spring
shouldn't come in March. If it
should make that mistake, we know
that winter will catch ' up- with . it
again. And we know what that
means.
It. moans' .that thebudsthat_ come -
out will be nipped. That there won't
be a sap season, and there won't be
any maple syrup. The blossoms will
come out on the fruit trees, and they
too, will be nipped arid- we `won't
have any fruit to speak df. •
We had May weather in March
last year. And what happened ?,,,Por
the first time in Huron County?we
didn't have any apples. We didn't
have any maple syrup. But weir -did -
have a wet, cold summer with ',back
ward crops" and . catchy harvest ..
weather, or in' some sections, no real .
harvest weather at all.
If we don't want that to happen -
again, we had better not complain
too much about the present_weather,
and take it as it comes. After 'all,
it is pretty good weather for March.
This is, not a spring month, so why
show impatience? It doesn't do a bit
bf good any way. There is plenty of
time for spring' to- come yet. And
the longer it delays, the more, likely
it is to remain with us when it does
snake its appearance.

Agricultural Minister's Appeal
Ron. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minis7
ter of Agriculture in .the Ontario
Government, has proven himself an
able administrator of his most im-
portant department of 'governinent.
He is very conversant with agricul-
tural needs and has shown• •• a most
eommnendable desire to assist in ev-
ery move -that will: -tend -towards` the
betterment of farm and farming
conditions. ,
He knows well too, the important
part the farmer in Ontario Chas play-
ed in food prodrlction during the
past few years. But great as it has
peen, he asks for even a greater ef-
fort on the part of the farmer this
year, to help out the food.-ituation
in Britain, . an- to preventmass
starvation in Europe.
Ta this ,end the Minister Of -"Agri-
culture has issued the"f •'l
o lowing mos _
.m
sage::. "tnnthe=-� ;eaaa- of the. ,greatest
.shortage of food 'supplies in ,the b his

this the „yea of our greatest effort
to feed the ungry, wherever they
may be. The Master of rnen said: `I
was an hungered and ye ' gave Me
meat; I was thirsty and ye gave Me
drink—inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one --of the least of these My
brethren ye have done it unto Me'."
That is -a worthwhile appeal, and
in spite of a war -weary and over-
worked farm population; we believe
it will meet with a worthwhile re-
sponse.
At Peace
It is a troubled world. There is no;
doubt about. that. One can hardlly' -
sleep at night for worrying about
spy. scares, Russia, ,inflation, hous-
ing, nylons, lack of butter, lack"' of
sugar, ' toothache, juvenile - delin-
quency, women, and so, on.
But on top of that, along comes a
scientist, who says that for ..all we
know -the _..sun .... may blow up within
the next ten seconds, with •a bang
that would make an atomic bomb
blast sound -like a: hiccough. •
That would be reaching a solution
of all our problemsin a hurry, and
we would be at peace, free from all.
future worry.

Taking Sheep Out Of Wool
Science isresponsible" for many
strange discoveries and their num-
bers, so- greatly increased during the
war years, are still being added. to.
Last week in London, England,. at
one of Britain's explosives ' factories?,
experts were engaged on destructive
experiments when, ' almost by mist'/'
take, they. discovered a method of
"cutting out the sheep" in producing
wool. • • .
They are now busy transforming
protein material into wool fibre, -and
they . are using peanuts at present.
It is nice to know that bynext win-
ter we may be able to get woolies.
again, but we would have a- greater
assurance of that happy event if the
scientists could find some other sub-
stitute for' sheep. than peanuts, be-
cause all through the war years pea-
nuts were about as scarce as woolies.
•
No Crime.
It will 'be news to many ,,aa Canadian
that cannibalism is not a erase under
the British criminal code. - Recently
an Australian court martial, which
convicted a Japanese officer of can -z
nibalism and sentenced him to death,
found itself in the embarrassing posi-
tion of having to reduce the sentence
to five years hard labor, and amend
the` charge t'o one of mutilation.
The law is the same in Canada. W&
have no law against cannibalism,, but
like Australia---we'-have a strict law -
against meddling with or indecently
interfering with a dead body. Here
also, a five-year . term can be impos-
ed for committing such an offence.
It would seem like a tribute to our
civilization that it has never been
found necessary in this or any, other
Dominion in the Empire to legislate
against cannibalism, and recorded
instances of it,anywhere on the
American continent are very few.
There is one, iti's. true, recorded in
the State of Nebrask,': where a man
named Tate, was charged with mur-
der and sentenced to be haired, be-
cause he had survived a whole win-
ter by eating his ; companions .who
had died of exposure when caught
out in 'a blizzard. ' •
In passing sentence,' • the judge'
said: "Tate, I am not going intothe
revolting details of your crime, but
... it man, you've eaten the Demo-
cratic majority in Lincoln County."
Like Canada, the early pioneers of
America really took their politics
seriously. -

The demobilized officer is a man who ha de-

It seems to me that country people
are about -the last in ,the world who'
really :practise the • art of. thinking
with which is coupled of course the
finest art of all.. . . that which hast
to do with dreaming, Dreaming is a
heritage, or endowment which dimes
upon a country boy or girl at a ten-
der age.
It may come when you're walking
home from .scho.pl some .pleasant
Saring afternoon. The sun is warm.
ing .and,. pleasant,-_.apd. the brown,
earth is peeking up through the melt-
ing spiow. The creek- under the .old
plank 'bridge • is .murmuring • in •' the
throes of creating melody for a new
song of, the ,season. The birds are
beginning to • get into the spirit. of
-the 'occasion - or else helping to put
spirit in the occ'asi'on., , The crows
may be caw -cawing away off in the
depths of the swamp. You feel like
dilly-dallying along the way.'
Music often helps to bring dreams
to country children: It may ,be the
rhythmic swinging sound of the old-
time, fiddlers playing at the dance in
the. village on a ''Saturday right. It
may be 'the .atmosphere and the
sound of church on an -Easter Sunday
morn;ng. • I remember being in the
village on a Saturday afternoon a
long time ago. My father had given
me an envelope with some money ,to
leave at the ' home of Miss Millie
Rogers. She owned the mortgage on
our farm.
As I' walked up the .front path to
The cottage I heard ,the .sound of a
violin. It was playing music, the like'
of ';which I had: never heard before.
There was none of the rough gaiety
of the old time fiddler in this music.
There was instead asort of haunting
a.
loneliness that reached in and 'touch,
ed my tender, young heart. B., was.
like the sound of the Wind in the big
pine trees on' a black, fall flight ..
or the feel. of the night in the middle
of wlnter•iwhen the frost, snaps and
cracks add the moon is cold and
lonely away up in a clear sky. ..y
.Miss , Rogers' asked me Oi and in-
troduced me to her brother. I learn,
ed later that he was a retired. con-
cert violinist. He was standing i'4
the little room with the violin tack-
ed • under his. chin and he ,scarcely
seemed to see me. -The music seem-
ed to fill the -room, and I sat there
staring at ' this strange figure of a
man. He was 'tall and dignified, with
white hair, and suddenly he stopped
and said: "Do you like music, boy?"
I 'mumbled an answer.
-He,..atarted' playing and talking to
me. 'At first the music- was sprightly
and gay and his word picture made
me,- see grand.ladies and handsome
men ,1na great hall with blazing
chandeliers dancing a minute '.
and then 'a stately old waltz . . ..and
suddenly he switched to music that
was lonesome and sad, •and he told
me about a bitter, Old' man compos-
ing it in a garret before he died, and
then nog living to see it recognized
along with his other work 'which' no
one had paid•-any,,attention to during
his lifetime..
It seems •to. me sometimes now that
we haven't time for dreaming, but
then yesterday, I had, a young fellow
working for me who sat after dinner
without saying a word and. 'finally he
said; "I was just dreamin', I guess.

births have any pre -natal care.
