SEAFORTH, Friday, April 19, 1946 Enlightening The Public , During the months since the New Year • we ,have noticed in- .county papers and others, outside Huron, .annual reports and financial state- • men's"of''the hospitals operating in ' these towns, which 'have • been pub- lished by hospital boards' for the general information of the public. These reports' -have shown not only the number of patients treated during •phe year, the scale of chaY'ges made by the hospital for private, semi -private and public wards, but thefinancial standing along with the receipts and expenditures of the previous year. It is information that is not only w._..... enlightening to the public,- but infor- mation that we believe the public is entitled to. Of course this is not , secret information as all such insti- _ .-.:. .,_ .....tutions. _are..under- Government sup-, _ ervision and have to make official returns each year to the Govern- ; went. But it is information, which, -unless it is published, the general public has little or no chance 'of acquiring. ;In : fact, if an interested citizen seeking such information, went to the Board,-thengove would'more than possibly be 1o©kid upon. with suspi- cion; i - cion; an inquisitiveness that might lead to. unprovoked or. unmerited.. stories or charges''' against the admin- istration. Possibly it is to forstall any such .situations that the boards inthese hospitals have published full returns. they feel they have nothing to hide, so they place their cards on -the table. We believe that is the proper thing to do. likewise, the safe thing to do. We have never heard of an improper administration of a hospital in this .or any'adjoining.county, but we have heard both unwarranted ' and un-'. founded reports that never would • have arisen if full `facts and figures had been freely set before the public. , Our local hospital is on a soine- `' what, different = financial ' standing than that of any other in the county or district. It was made possible by a memorial trust which ,provides in lar a measure for.. its maintenance. Bu it. is- a trust fund left for the : benefit of thecommunity as a whole, v f.nd the community has ,an equity in it, as great as the Board that admin - i' isters the fund. In addition, the lios pital receives a grant from the court- . ty and other grants to which the general -•.public contributes its share of ..taxation. For that reason, if no other; the public should be given,' once. a year, a full insight into. its operation. ' • A somewhat similar situation ,pre - trails in connection with"' our local schools. There are half art dozen or more towns and villages in this dis- trict where a full report of all trus'- tee: meetings are published in their local papers. ' Since, the New Year these school boards have published a, full financial statement, setting out 'salaries paid, 'th cost .of niainten- ' ,ante and othe items of public inter est, • Such a re ort wasmade in this paper recently of the newly formed School area-, in Tuckersmith Town. - ship, and its publication has greatly' helped, not injured, . the board of trustees that administer the area. Of ',course' the schools are 'included in- the, town's financial statement,, whichis audited by a firm of char..- ' :tered. accountan-ts.. But the report is cavtehed in language and figures of- ten quite f-tenquiteunderstandable by the fin-., r aneiai:mind, but conveying little or .nothing to -the average- man on` the street. • uarfirt the- aver: ag g Man. ' on n the street one whocontributes a'large of the taxe. which keep theye ins itutions in operation, ld.' we tai. l he should be- furni§lied all the information that ison record. . 1}. We Are Growing -Old The yay,+erage Canadian -looks upon our nation as being a young one. And perhaps it is, according to some standards, But according to the :` Dominion Bureau of 5:tatistics!, we are rapidly getting old. According to the Bureau's calcu- lations, by 1966 there will be more Canadians over 35 years of age than under it. At the present time there are a million Canadian babies under four, and some 800,000 men and wo- men over 65 years of :age. By..1971,'' at the ,present rate of births and deaths, we will,"have 900,- 00Q babies and 1,500,000 old people. Canada; like every other country where the birth and death ratesdrop, will find its population aging on the average, and _the ., results of such a change wilLhave a profound effect upon its economy as well as upon its general attitude towards life. But we can only overcome this trend to- wards old age by .producing• more babies. - Another vital change in our na- tional characteristics, and a more fearful one to - contemplate, is our present trend towards female dom- ination. Today there are more men than women, with the exception of the very old. But by 1971, the statistics tell us, there will be more women than men'. . - in , all .:age groups . above. 5Q, years of . age. And still later on feminine ate on, f i t i; em n ne trend will show up in all younger groups as well., • Of course, all these. statistics are based on present-day trends, which may be changed temporarily by greatlyincreased immigration. But Governments, for some reason or other, seem to beshying clear 'of im- migration ' p.oliciesc or perhaps more correctly ' speaking, there are too - many people, of influence. with selfish interests and personal axes to grind, who want plenty of room to fulfil their ambitions. The only permanent way this fem- inine "'trend can be changed is by greatly boosting -our birth rate, and that is something Canadians of this day and generation have turned thumbs down on. Consequently, they deserve to 'suffer; and we hope we are spared to see it. IL interesting' It•ms Picked From The, Huron Expositor of Fifty end IVESittypilvs Years AO. From The Hunters Expositor April 29, 1921 An impressive ceremhny took .place at the Bank of Commerce, Seaforth, .of which J- G. Mullen is manager,' on Friday `afternoon .at 4.30 pan., when the handsome bronze memorial tab- let, donated by the directors of the bank, bearing the names of the local staff who enlisted from Seaforth 'for military duty during the war, was un- veiled. I't was unveiled by Mrs. F. Holmested,' president of \ the Red dross • Society. The names are: Gnr. J. M. McMillan, Second LiOpit, L. B. Sifton, Gnr. J. Stevenson, M.1Vi;., and Sgt. Lest a Watson. Garnet 'K. Chapman, Harvey Bur- rows, Linegeil and•Harvey Bristow, of the Ontario Dental 'College, Toronto, are home for the holidays. Mrs. T. G. Scott met with a rather serious accident at her home on .Fri- day taste when she fell down the cel- lar steps inflicting a nasty, cut on 'her arm, which required several stitches to close. "• Miss Frances Givlin, of •Seaforth, has accepted a position as teacher in Maidstone. Mr. Thos. Beattie, of McKillop, met with a serious accident while in town on. Tuesday' afternoon. He was driv- ing down Main "Street when his horse became' frightened at a tractor, and threw him out of the ,buggy. In the fall he suffered several' fractured ribs. The race in the-seeding•contest be- tween John Murray, • Henry Rapien and Peter Eckert, of Manley, was won by Mr. Rapien. Mr. Hopper, who has been drilling a well for '11r•. Wm. Daffy, McKillop, has struck an 'abundance of water. The annual Meeting of the teachers and. officers of Seaforth "Methodist Sunday- School• was held Wednesday evening•with Caiit:.E..W. Edwards in the chair. The. following officers were elected: Supt., F. S. Savauge; assist- ants, -Wm. Hartry and A. L. Porteous; secretary, . Frank Cudmore; assistant, Arnold Westcott; treasurer, , Ross Savauge. Mr, John Dobie, . of Tuckersmith,. who has 'been attending the Agricul- tural College at Guelph, left on Wed- nesday for• Moose Jaw, where he will take the position of buttermaker in a large factory for the .summer. Mr. Wm: Clarke, of Constance, has, purchased Mr. James Rands' property of 13 acres.

Over in Britain a new elec- tric iron islrea a dy in production with which correct temperatures for use on a number of fabrics are ob- tained by ,dialing. One of the special features' which make this model outstanding in the - development of "controlled heat" ironing is its untarnishable sole ' plate. This is •hottright to the outer edge, glides smoothly over the ma- terial, and, is specially• shaped for ironing, round buttons or over, pleats: The unbreakable body is finished in primrose, vitreous enamel, and the --bakelite handle is -heat -resisting and heat insulating.. The heat is control- led by a calibrated adjusting dial fix- ed on top of the .,iron• and marked with appropriate positions for rayon, wool, silk, cotton and linen. The iron can be simply and quickly adjusted to give correct heat according to the nature of the Material to -be ironed. That' is not all, eitheir. A signal lamp is built into -the handle of the iron and is thermostatically control- led-, The signal light glows the same as on an electric stove, until the re- quired temperature is reached, then ^ switches off and operates- again as soon as the temperature begins to ,.fall: This iron weighs approximately five pounds,' with a nine -foot cord lead, is nine, inches long, four and a quarter inches wide and four and a half inches high. It is . for export and may possibly reachCanada about the same time nieri's shirts are again available' alit. rhe market: , From The Huron Expositor April 24, 1896 Mr. George Munroe. of Brucefield, hes; purchased from Mr. Scott, the 'Property ,adjoining the old Glasgow House.

Ryan left on Tuesday for Montreal to be present for the open- ing of navigation, as he has an •import- ant position on the Lachine canal. Mr. James Horton,. -of Lumley, well known horseman, had the misfortune to lose two very fine stallions which he was bringing out from the Old Country: they died on hoard the boat, One belonged to hinnself and the ether to Thos, Colquhoun, Fullerton.

We're 'seeding and to rase, born apo bred in the country and the ways of the country, this • is .,the time - of year when 'farming has a real signifi- cance. We plant the seed in the well tilled fields and talk about crops and wonder if the weather will hold out,: and when it's going to, rain. • I was in the village the other day. The stores' are open _these evenings and •I wanted same repairs for -the fertilizer drill. After, • getting .some. groceries, I sat down with the crowd sitting on ,,the front steps of Mur -1 phy's store. The air was •warm, but there was a slight nip in it.' The conversation flowed. around in pleas- ant . eddies. Most of the. men were tire , and they were sprawled out ,..emo •Tag and talking quietly, in the. relaxed way of ,people who are sav- ing energy. • What did they talk about? Ed. Smither was complaining about the Door s.easen .for maple ,ayieep. Joe Gardner was lamenting the fact that he didn't 'get all his wood out of the bush,. There was quite a lengthy .dis- cussion about whether it was good business to sell a bush outright to timber operators, or whether a man was farther -ahead to skid the logs out himself and sell only what r ••he wanted. We told each” other about -the num- ber of adres of seeding and the fer- tilizer mixtures we "'planned using. Ay Har*, 0.:1414i Jose Williams gave a •eephic aocow1 of the trouble he 'Was having With- 0 new colt. There was general agree- ment on, the fact that the increase in the price of iruplepaents was going to be a hardship. Big Bilk' Casey. made a deal fox trading work with one of his neighhot•s, Joe Kelly told us, of how his boy -who is just hack from over- seas, ,doesn't want to stay, on the farm. He 'wants to 'get a truck and start' in •busiiiess for himself. The discussion and the .small talk kept on going but grad-nally the mea started dreppfng-•owt and going home. During all the time that they chatted I heard nothing about world affairs dr the, United Nations Conference. Ln fact this was a group of farmers sit- ing around on a pleasant spring eve- ning, after a hard day of work, and they talked about tli!e ;things• close to their ]ivies. On the way home it kept running through my mind, that this scene was probably duplicated -all the time, at least whenever farmers of any coun- try or climate get together in the. midst of, the spring work. It's not dif- ficult to imagine the farmers of Iowa or Vermont • or Mexico or Russia or China . . . or anywhere else for that matter, .sitting around talking. -They would, I am sure, be of much the gen- eral type and temperament as our- selves, wanting• only peace and the opportunity to plant crops and the -bounty of a good harvest later on. • . JUST A SMILE .OR TWO . A young soldier reports that he joined "the army for three reasons: First, I wanted to defend -my coun- e y ; secdncl, I knew it would build me up . physically; third; --they--crime and' got me." Arizona Ike: "What happened -to that tenderfoot who was out here last week?" • Badge Pete: "Oh he was • brushing, his teeth witii'"some of that new -tan- gled tooth paste, and. one of the boys thought he had hydrophobia and shot him:" • • Medic: "The right leg of the pa/t- ient is 'shorter than the, left !which causes him ' to limp. Now what would you do in• a case of this kind." Voice (from rear of classroom "Doc, :I -d limp too." A colored ,artilleryman, back from France, was explaining it to a group of admiring Harlemitee. "Ah opens, the big gun, Ah puts in a big shell. Then Ah -closes the gun, pulls the triggah, steps back and says: 'Mistah Hitlah, recount you' army'!" ' • One Sunday morning,.: just before service, a note •was handed up to the preacher. .Opening it; the clergyman discovered that' it contained the sin- gle word: "Fool." He arose. described the communi- cation to his congregation and•'added, with becoming. seriousness: "I have known many an instance, of a man writing a letter and forgetting to sign his name, butethis is' the only instance I have ever known of a man signing his name and forgetting to write the letter." — Huron Federation Of : Agriculture --Farm News Ideal Maple Grove The ideal maple grove, -should fulfil the following, seven requirements: Area should be completely, filled with sugar maple trees with' fully develop- ed crowns. The canopy of ,leafy. crowns should allow little sunshine to fall. upon 'the ground,, flrei•eiiy* discour- aging' the gro'w'th oP grass end weeds. Maple trees. of. all ages should cover the area. As the old mature trees are cut out; the younger •ones take their places,, Roadways through the grove help in the -collection of the sap and reduce•theausiral difficulties with underbrush. Live stock -should be rig- idlyexeluded from the sugar, bush. e c deci ga The bush should be thinned to allow only the trees necessary for replace- ment to remain. An unthinned border at least 25 feet wide on all sides should be left -as a-• windbreajt, which serves as a -safegu&rd against storms. Ship More Canadian Horses for B.W.I. Two French Canadian'°stallions and one in -foal Mare of- the same breed each weighing about '1,150 pounds were shipped recently to the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Leeward Islands, British West Indies. The animals Were bought, end. shipped -by the Pro- duction Service, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa.

As generally us- ed, the' name "clovers" :includesered clover, alailte, .patch clover, crinTsen clover, alfalfa, •trefoil, sweet -,clever and other legtaminous plants.

Careful Management of Woodl•ot Pays Careful -management of the farm woodlot will not only mean ' the growing of misre wood but will reduce the•loss'from insect damage. Although' managedient based oe . good silvi- culture 11 net the solution to all for- est insect ' pr'obletns, it is the • only practical solution of. some and will greatly assist in reducipa the danger o•f- loss in the -case of many others, says R. E. Balch, Dominion Entomo- logical, Laboratory, -Fredericton, N.B. Good management means leaving, young trees of good quality until they have reached the. age et which they have produced the, •maximum amount of wood' per yeah• of which they are capable. 'But it ' else means..cutting' them as son as they, reap this age 'and that ;no weak, over -mature or de- fective' trees` are left to lake' up grow- ing. space Which should. be occupied by young vigorous . trees. A well-, Managed forest is'a_vigorous, growing forest. , When the selection "of ..trees to .be cut •is based solely on the immediate profit which can be fnade from them, and local 'markets are 'riot developed to matte use of a variety of wood products, many young trees , may be cut, while old 'and.'defective or weak- .er-ed trees tend to accumulate. Such trees, or stands, have been found to be favourable to the •increase of cer- tain types of injurious .1nsectse For instance, -the bronze birch ...hewer can increase its numbers',only in weaken. ed .or dying trees. Outbreaks of .the eastern spruce barkbeetle are favour- ed by' the presence- of large overma- ture spruce. When numerous, these - insects can attack more vigorous trees.:, Even some defoliating insects, like the spruce • budworm and black - headed budworm, and bark -sucking insects, like the beech •scale 'and bal- sam woolly aphid, .multiply in•ore rap- idly on older trees .which. have pass- ed the age lit which they should be cut. Not only are outbreaks of a number •of insecte likely to be less severe in managed forests, but when outbreaks occur the more vigorous stands have greater ability to`eurvive The attach.
