Eighty Years Old
Canada was 80 years old on Tues-
day. Not a great age, as Nations go,
as: its birthday is • well within the
memory of many living people: But
perhaps -no .other has experienced
greater change's' and development in
the first eighty years of its life.
There were many . sections in this
part of Canada that were still virgin
forest eighty years ago. The cities
and towns were few and very much
smaller, but the villages were .more
numerous, more largely populated,
and because of- transport difficulties,
largely self-contained.
There were no cities and towns in
the West eighty years ago, just a
few trading posts. Arid the vast roll-
ing prairies were looked upon as
waste land from an agricultural
standpoint. In those provinces the
eighty years have brought miracu-
lous changes.
There have been miraculous
changes in Ontario' too, although our
province LS far from, being the old-
est in Canada. Sometimes we think
we would be too -helpless' to survive
if we had to contend with the living
condition& -of eighty years -ago. -•Bach
to the day when sails ruled in place
of steam when our pioneers came to
this country.
When the telegraph was still a
P' marvel and the telephone an imprac-
ticable theory; when roads were
trails and oxen were largely the mo-
tive power., These things are very
unreal to us today, but they were
very, very real to our pioneers.
Marvelous things have happened
to us in eighty years. We have lived
° to see ' arid to utilize . the -telephone,
electric light, heat and power; • the.
automobile, the radio, . the flying ma-
chine and a -hundred other things the ,
people of this country had not yet
dreamed of eighty years ago, when
Canada .was born.
Yet while Canada's lot has been
one of marvellous progress, its latter
life has not been one of peace. We
have suffered two long and disas-
trous wars, the last one ending but
yesterday, and still we feel that
peace, perhaps, is still a long way off.
No one ' can tell what the., next
eighty years will •bring. But follow-"
ing Canada's history from its birth
until the present day, every Cana-
than should have implicit faith in its
future., Should vision a Nation of
many millions; of peace and plenty;
a refuge for' -the .down -trodden peo-
ple of the world; a Nation morally
"and spiritually sound; a leader
among :Nations.
That is not an impossible attain-
ment for the people of Canada of to-
day and to-morrow—if they are will-
ing to work and to plan and to sacri-
fice self to that end.
•' .
Expect Lower .Costs
Because building contracts which
have been awarded during, the first ,
five months of this year show a drop
of .over twenty-two million dollars
compared • with the corresponding
months of 1946 and is the first down-
turn in many years,, . the Financial
Post suggests a reason.
And the reason it gives is that build-
ing costs have probably reached the
.point where the public will not pay
them.. There is, the Post says, no
other reasonable explanation, be-
cause building materials are in much
greater supply than they were 'a year
ago—even at a price.
That points to lower prices, and
the Post continues: "The fact that
deeline in new business continues at
a time when uncompleted 1946 jobs
• a, being largely cleaned, up, is seen
likely to induce a chane of heart
he ranks of building 1a -
down into t g
.
for, and the test is expected to .come
in August!" • .
ti
Of .course th t reference is large-
ly to labor unions. But labor unien
prices in large cities have a way of
drifting down into the smaller towns
and the country. In these placs it is
not altogether a question of unwill-
ingness to pay, but rather a question
of inability to pay.
In an agricultural district when a
man has to pay $5,000 and upwards
for a- very modest house in which to
house his family, - he is; generally
speaking, mortgaging his life, be-
cause it will take a lifetime to pay
for such a home.
That does not spell prosperity -for
any small community, because the
prosperous community is one of
home owners.- The war, of course,
has effected all communities, large
and small, much more than the av-
erage person realizes. -But the day
of easy money is, over and the soon-
er labor and. industry accepts that
fact, the better it will be for all con-
cerned.
There is a Iimit to everything, and
the cost limit of kuilding and mater-
ials has long passed the crest.
•
Is It Different In Huron ?
The Port Elgin Times has this to
say about the tax .situation in Bruce
County: • "Despite the fact that
Bruce County 'has had nodebenture
debt since .1935, the county tax, rate
continues to increase. An extra mill
and a half are being added to the
1947 fate. •
"When the reeves are at home ev-
ery local expenditure is carefully
Scrutinized, and they are very tax -
conscious, but when they get toge-
ther" in the congenial atmosphere of
a June session, there -is not the same
caution. The result is that taxes in
all -municipalities are increased and
, further • add to the high cost of 1iv-
- ing." - -
We have been wondering g if that
applied in any 'way to Huron. There
is no doubt but that the atmosphere
rof the county • council is more con-
genial than it was even " a few short
years ago. In fact, it would puzzle
a 'good many township constituents
to recognize their reeves at the June,
or any other session of the county
council.
The fact is that county business,
in'recent years, has been so largely
centralized in Toronto that there is
not now a great deal for the county
councillors to do but be congenial.
And it would appear that what busi-
ness is still left in their hands will,
not long be left there unless it is
carefully guarded. '"
Not so very long ago., a suggestion,
originating in Toronto, we "believe,
was made to. abolish County Coun-
cils and have all county business at-
tended to by the Ontario Legisla-
ture.' The opposition, however, was
so .spontaneous arid vehement that
the move seemed to : be dropped.
But it is not "dead. Very far from
it. And it is, as -a' matter of fact, the
county councillors themselves who
are keeping it alive by continually
asking the 'Government to do this
and -'do that, under the mistaken be-
lief that if the Government under-
takes tbe'work thecounty will save
the expense. -
Of course the Government is will-
ing to undertake the building and
maintaining of township and county
roads, culverts and bridges; of edu-
cation and a number of other things.
Already it has agreed to police the
county as one councillor at the June "
session said ---for nothing.
13ut what- the constituents of the
towns, villages and townships should
realize and point out to their reeves,
who compose the county council, is
that the Government, if they under-
take to do the county' work, will do
it at the price they set themselves
''without consulting the taxpayers of
the county.
Why wouldn't the Government
jump at the chance of running coun-
ty finances and affairs? Having no
money of its own, it has everything
to gain and nothing to lose.

JUST A SMILE OR TWO
A full-blooded Indian in Alberta
needed some cash, so he went 'to a
banker and asked about'a loan.
"How much money do ayou need?”
asked the banker.
"Me want two hundred. dollars."
"For bow. long?"
"Maybe two week; maybe two
month."
And what security have you to
offer?" \
"Me' got two 'hundred horses."
This seemed sufficient security and
the loan was granted. A short time
afterward, the Indian came into the
bank with two thousand dollars cash:
He paid off the note and, 'pocketing
the rest of his bank -roll, prepared to
leave.
The banker stopped him. ".Why
'not let us take care 'of that money
'for you?"
The gid Indian's mind• flew back to'
the daydwhen he wanted two hundred
dollars, 'and,' --looking • the banker
straight in the- eye, he asked: "How
many horses you got?"
The old sailor had retired from the
sea. Each morning a •grubby young-
ster knocked at his door, wend in,
and came out again. After this had
gone on for some weeks the curiosity
of the villagers was aroused.
"Tell me," ,said• one fo' the young-
ster, ;'why do you visit that old sail-
or every morning?"
"Well, he gives me a dime if I say
to him: 'The captain wants you im-
meriately.' "
"And what does he say to that?"
"He says: 'Tell the captain to .go
'to blazes.'
Employer: 'Not afraid of early
hours, I suppose?"
Young Vet: -"Yu can't close too
early for me."

Better Be Sure, About Clothes Mot
Spring cleaning has been comple
ed in, homes and winter garment
have .'been stored away for. the se
son. The housewife may feel th
once she has sprayed garments or
bedding with DDT, or , has brushed
them and sifted naphthalene flakes
or paradichlorobenzene crystals a-
mong them that she has won the war
against moths. But she• hasn't.
According to entomologists•'of the
Dominion Department of Agriculture
one of the • worst breeding places of
moths is often overlooked. If there
is a hot air _urnace, there are prob-
ably' .whole colonies of moths in its
cool air pipes. In these pipes moths
'feed and flourish on the accumulation
of lint. A va'cuura•, cleaner with a
long extension will remove the lint
easily, . otherwise, a long -handled
broom or brush will serve., •
Garments and heavy bedding may
be 'stored as -safely as -passible, bet
other fabrics ie the home may stilt
be attacked by moths. Chair covers,
upholstery, 'and bedding will be sub-
ject to attack all summer unless the
moths still at large are eradicated.
And those woollen garments or fab-
rics containing wool, or feather pi] -
loans or feta which' have been discard-
ed are another breeding place for
moths. If, unstored and unprotected
against moths, they are left lying
about in the attic and quickly .become
a 'source of infestation.
Housewives ere advised either to
get rid of these discarded fabrics or
to store them with the same protec-
tion, giver, to new garments. For
there is no real safety until the last
moth bas been driven from the home,

ents.
arents. Grading results are of course
the, best measure Available to the
commercial breeder's but in selecting
on the basis of grading results it
should be remembered that' minimum
standards are accepted. For exam-
ple, a pig m•ay • grade "A'.' but still be
on the short side, and with breeding
stock it is desirable to have good
length, not just minimum., The Ad-
vanced Registry, is an excellent mea-
sure of breeding stock; but it should
be kept in mind that the A.R. scores,
a mating and it is -best to have sub-
sequer.t breeding stock of the same
mating that qualifies. If the latter, is
not available, however, it has been
shown that stock -from qualified ani-
mal; is ,in general better than that
with no record at all.
In -addition to these above impor-
tant considerations, the iridividuality
of the,animal to be saved for breed-
ing must 'also be considered. It
"should have good length, even depth,
full hams, and good bone. The fe-
male s.houlei have at least 12 and pre
ferably' 14 functional, teats. If, how-
ever, it comes to a decision 'between
two individuals, one with beauty and
no record as against .qne not quite so
well turned but with, a 'sound •breed-
'ing record behind it, the choice should
fall to the latter.
Thus, the selection oil swine breed-
ing stock should be based on the
ancestry record of litter size, milking
capacity, maternal temperament, feed-
ing efficiency and carcass quality, as
well as the type of the individual.
Selection Of Swine Breeding Stock
Progressive breeders are extremely
careful in selecting their breeding
stock. They me.y have different meth-
ods or different standards "on which
they base their selection, bet in the
main they study the 'performance of
the ancestors and .the litter mates, as
well as the individuality of the', stock
freer_ which they pick their .future
boars and sows, states J. G. Stothart,
Division of Animal Husbandry, Ex-
perimental
xperimen.tal Farms Service,
Litter size is important in pigs ,and
it is° especially important to watch•
the female side of a line in selecting
for litter size, as .we'll as ,milking ca-
pacity and general mothering,
n
stits. The latter are just as 'im-
portant as litter size, because if a
sow farrows 12 pigs`" and raises only
five or weans runty• pigs, she farrows be pom'par'ed with one that farrows
led and weans .10 healthy, uniform
pigs. The -point in watching the sow
side of a family Is due to the fact
that the boar has little -immediate
ihfluence on titter 'size, that is, he
does not genetically affect the num-
ber of pigs, a sow farrows but his
influence is "shown in the litter size
cif his daughters—the females of a
line.
