Pure Vandalism
Across Ontario in recent weeks
newspaper, s have been reporting
holdups, one of which had murder
connected with it, as well as many
other acts of violence and vandal-
.
Citizens of the cities look more or
less upon 'these things as a necessary
penalty due to their dense and varied
population,' but smaller communities
-. are beginning to look upon them
With fear, because with increasing
frequency they ,are being brought
home to them by having them occur
in their own boundaries, or next'
door to them.
Usually these acts of crime and
vandalism are committed by outsid-
ers and the citizens Of most smaller
communities have a rather snug
feeling that ' their people are too
sensible to deliberately get into troll=
ble.
But. again with increasing fre-
quency, a great many . smaller com-
munities in recent months are learn-. '
ing that that theory is no longer
-' true. And our awn community is
one. of ` them.
Last week in Seaforth some per-
son .or persons deliberately tore out
the hydrant beside the club house at
the bowling green and flooded all the
greens.'to a depth of several inches.
._ortunately, it was accidentally--dis-
covered
ccidentally--liscovered shortly. after midnight and
repairs made. There was, possibly,
not much damage. done,. but if the
water had been allowed to run until
• morning, the damage to the club, and
surrounding 'property would have..
been considerable. -
That was bad enough, but over the
week -end it was' much worse. Satur-
day .or Sunday night some irrespon-
sible person, or more likely pers;ons,
broke ' into the Palace Rink, where
the hospital board had stored sever-
al carloads of building material and
furnishings which they had purchas-
'ed from the Port Albert Airport.
•Cases and crates were broken into
and their contents thrown about and
some destroyed. -
!`hen, possibly with the hope of
making 'a complete job, the, water
was turned4,on and the whole ,prem-
ises flooded. The resulting damage
may amount to several hundred dol-
lars.
Both these happenings were the
result of -pure acts of vandalism, and
(twice should be enough : for this
_- __town..They can not beaccepted as
acts committedby thoughtless boys,
because any boyswho are old enough
to be•allowed out' on the streets at
night are, decidedly old enough to
know better.
'There shou and undoubtedly will
be con' g, because a town of
this size is not large enough to hide
' 'either boys or men of such criminal
intent.
Huron Scout Rallp
• The first post-war rally of Boy
Scouts and Wolf Cubs of Hiron dis-
trict will be held in -the Hensall Com-
, =unity Park on Saturday, June' 28,
commencing at 10.30 a.m. -
This is the big event of the Scout
and, Cub year, and should hold an
unusual interest for parents and
grown-ups as well,' as .the different
events and contests will demonstrate
the Scouts' training and�should be of
intense interest.. •
Seine people and some parents are
too prone to look upon Boy • Scout
training as a harmless amusement
for young boys. It is, far above and
j)eyond that. Properly carried .out,
Ms the building of a solid founda-
tion for a boy's character. It teach -
ea -L -alerts ess, observation, courtesy,
kindness'. and patience, .and no boy
has ever failed but to profit in after-
life' front being a Boy Scout.
For that reason alone, although
•there . are many others, the Huron
1istriet Rallyat Hensallon Satur-
+t 1a- should battended ,by, a good
eailarge!, ai tendanee of

ers

'd�,stor
The bo -s need to
have interest shown concerning their
training and rally events. Why not
give them every encouragement?
It might be .pointed out too, that
Hensall owes its choice as the rally-
ing point for the Huron District Boy
Scouts and Cubs to the foresight and
enterprise of an activt Chamber of
Commerce in providing a spacious,
well -kept and well-equipped " flood-
lit community park for outside ev-
ents, as well as their own.
•
The First Week -End.
Judging by Monday's papers the
first summer week -end was one of
tragedy across Ontario and account-
ed for the deaths of 28 people .and
the injury -of many more.
A ., considerable number of these -
fatalities were the result of drown-
ing and others resulted from car
accidents. These two are .closely as-
sociated in the summer months. Car,
loads race to the lakes and summer
resorts, and their occupants take , all
kinds of risks by swimming, in
strange waters or playing an can-
oes, or other boats, without any
knowledge of their operation, and
too often without being able to swim.
There does not seem to be any way
' of stopping these irresponsibles, pts-
sibly because they hold the firm be-
lief that they possess charmed lives
and regardless of thy chances they
take on either. land or.water, it will
come out all right—for them.
But it is not that way. It never
• was. Right out of the blue, tragedy
strikes, and a home is bereaved, be-
cause of thoughtlessness' .or careless-
' ness, or • cutting a corner . once too
often. -
•
Will Make Good Canadians
Much has been said and written in
recent weeks about the action of
some hundreds of .Yugoslays in leay.---
ing Canada and going back to their
home country, there to enjoy the
blessing of Marshal Tito's.police
ridden State. °
Some opined that conditions of life,
in Canada were so hard and impos
. • sible for these people that any kind
if life, in any other kind of country,
was much to, be desired. There was
an eaual to-do in Parliament and out
of it, about 100 -Polish girls being
brought over to Canada to work in
a Quebec textile factory.
Charges of slave labor were freely
bandied about and the mud in the
labor pool was stirred up. Something
should -be done to save these poor peo-
ple or to have them saved from them-
selves! But the most effective an-
swer to all these accusations appear-
ed in `the Montreal Gazette recently
in the form -of a letter to the editor.
The writer was an obscure immi-
grant kook, who although she still
has trouble with the Canadian lan-
guage and spelling, makes her mean-
ing clear enough. The Montreal
paperprinted her letter' just as ,it
was received:

We had a visitor for dinner last
Sunday. It was Jake Hislop who lives
on the concession north of us. Jake.
worked for my father one time and
takes quite a' lively interest in what's.
-doing with us. He's a bachelor and
comes once .a year; usually; just after
the seeding is 'over.
Jake •arrived last 'Sunday dressed
up' in a faded black suit that is -green
and shiny with the combination of
age , and wear. He had his old
Model 'T' sedan all shined up, and he
-himself looked as if he had soaked in
water for at least two days. The
leathery, tan of his face and the ,back
of his neck looked almost aa if he
had waxed it.
Jake` has never -worn a tie, even to
his brother's wedding, but he does
condescend. to wear a high, stiff col-
lar that resembles nothing so much
as a board fence, with a• new coat of
whitewash. The • collar has wing
points and, Jake hasn't, much- freedoms
in it. .When he turns his head he
turns his body as well.
Jake, who chews tobacco the way
a ten -year-old boy wodld wolf down
•lioorice stinks, turns to cigars on his
visiting occasion. It's a little doubt-
ful as to what type of cigars they are,
and 'it has even been suggested that
they would make an excellent thing
for burning in a henhouse to smoke
opt lice.

He arrived. last Sunday about ten
in the morning antlesat in the rocker
M the 'kitchen getting caught up on
the gossip and the news about the
,family. After dinner ,he moved out
to the back stoop, taking the rocker
with him. It was a trifle chilly out
;there, but we ail insisted on going
am the fear of asphyxiation in the
kitchen from the cigars.
Late in .the' afternoon we all walk-
ed, down aerosel :the farm and looked
at the crops. Most 'of them are under
water, however. Then we"looked the
cattle over and fenced . around a- lit-
tle
ottl•e about trading horses. Neither of
•us were very serious. et was `really
just good conversation. '
We had our supper and listened to
the radio for a little while. Jake
came out with me while I was milk-
ing the cows and afterevards we stood
and leaned over the barnyard fence
and chatted for awhile. Darkness
started to come down, so we moseyed
back up to the house.
'Jake decided to go home and went
through the ritual of shaking hands
with all of us. Before he left he
said: "Well, folks, I go out three
times a year. I always go to the
.Fall Fair and then because my folks
was Presbyterians, I go Jo the fowl
supper at the 'Presbyterian church. I
get down here lance each spring, and
I must say II enjoy myself most right
,here with you folks."
JUST A SMILE' OR TWO
In grammar lesson one day the
teacher wrote on the blackboard: "I
`didn't have fun at the seaside."
Then she turned to her pupils and
said to one: "Ronald, how should I
correct that?"
"Get a boy friend," he answered.

The office boy had been missing for
the best part of the morning.
"Where the dickens have you been,
boy?" his 'employer demanded fur-
iously; when at long Last the lad
sautered in.
• ,"To the .post office, sir," replied the
boy, with a virtuous 'air.
The employer gasped. "And does
it take you two hours td post: a let-

"I beg your pardon, sir," said the
lad with some heat. "Three lettere!"

er. "That's the number of the car
that hit him."

acquaintance:

"Courting."
"Carrying a lantern is a waste of
money. When I went' courting I went

Buckwheat, An ,Emergency,Grain Crop
Farmers who have been unable to
complete their spring season .of plant-
ing or who have had crops drowned
out as a result of recent `.heavy rains,
would be well advised to consider
sowing buckwheat, says John D. Mac-
Leod, Director 'of the Crops, Seeds
and Weeds Branch, Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture. This crop is
adaptable to a wide variety of soils
and will yield fair returns on areas
which •are low in fertility. •
As a farm crop, buckwheat should
have a place of considerable import-
ance among our coarse grains, says
Mr. MacLeod. It is regarded as be-
ing almost' interchangeable with bar-
ley as. a,. livestock feed and may be
included in the ration's of all classes
of livestock. It is extremely' resist-
ant to the attacks of soil insects, an.
,excellent green manure crop when
plowed down, improves the soil physi-
cal condition, makes, a good 'bee pas-
ture and. cannot be beaten as a.
smother crop fur weeds.
t Buckwheat may be seeded 'anytime
during the month of June. In fact,
seeding is best` delayed until the hit-
ter
atter part of the month in- order to
have the crop blossom after the heat
of midsummer. The usualrate of
seeding is. three. to five pecks per.
acre. 'Silver Hull and 'Rough Hall
are the recommended varieties.
The practice of looking upon buck-
wheat as a last resort crop should be
discouraged. It has a place among
Ontario's grain crops, particularly
this year When' maximum crops of
home -grows 'grains are essential.
Moisture conditions at the present
time are very :favorable for rapid
growth, and the possibility, of harvest-
ing a grain crop before autumn frosts
is excellent. ,
• Seed, cleaning plant operators, seed
'dealers .and agricultural representa-
tives will be • glad, to advise •farmers•
regarding available seed.
Mixed Grains For Late 'Sowing.
Farmers who have been afnable to
complete seeding owing' to wet wea-
ther are .advised by the Crops, Seeds,
and Weeds Branch of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture to give
Consideration at this time to sowing
a portion ef• their acreage to a Mix-
ture
nixture of early maturing varieties of
oats and barley. Over ae1x-yetlg per-
iod at the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege, Mr. 'MacLeod 'points out, a mix-
ture of O,A.C. 21 barley and Menke
oats yielded 2,363 pounds per acre;
and a mixture 'of O.A.C. 21 barley and
Ethan oats yielded 2,333 .pounds per
acre. Nobarb .barley and Erban oats
miied together .yielded 2,630 pouxtds
per acre. The recommended rate of
seed for these mixtures i.s approxi-
mately 50 p unds of eachu-100 pounds
per acre. arbofe and. Ajax are par-
ticularly, r eommended'j for late seed-
ing.

-Growers of both seed 'a.nd table

"If anything suspieious, is encoun-
tered—such as internal discoloration
just inside the tuber—send that Luber
for examination to the ;nearest pota-
to inspector or, better still, to 'the
nearest Laboratory of Plant .Pathol-
ogy." recommends J. W. ,Scannell, as-
sistant chief of the Department's
Plant Protection Division.
"Better be- sure," he'says, "than to
go along wondering Whether that sus-
picious tuber did or did not contain
ring rot."
