.SEAFORTH, ,Friday, August '22nd
Using Provincial Poliep:
Within the past year or two a
number of Ontario towns have dis-
missed their local police farces and
have accepted the offer Of the Pro-
vincial Government to have the local
policing- of these towns and villages
assumed by members of the Ontario
Police Force.
The object in view, we presume,
is to take law enforcement out of
local politics, and to have the law
enforced regardless upon whom the
penalties fall. To have one' law for,
the rich and the poor and the in-
between.
The object is a worthy one, and no
doubt provincial' officers will be in a
freer position to enforce it than
would some lacal officer' appointed by
a town- or village. This police ser-
vice •is not, 4, however, free. It has
to be paid for, and the cost to the
taxpayers will be at least . double
that of the former policing system.
It is not the cost that should raise
any of jection. Heretofore most town
councils have been quite willing to
employ any man who would accept
the office at a certain sum, and that
sum was far below what any reas-
onable council could expect for ef-
ficient service.
That system worked efficiently en-
ough in the horse and buggy days,
but those days are now behind.. us,
never to return, The small town or
village is no longer the self-contain-
ed place it used to be. The world is
now on wheels. And so is crime.
Crime can strike at a small place out
in the country and be miles away in
much less than an hour.
To cope with modern crime and
criminals, it takes trained men, and
the services of `trained men are nit
obtained for nothing, or next to
nothing. A number of small com-
munities have been hit by modern
criminals in recent months • and
years. '"And that, undoubtedly, is
why the smaller communities, in ev-
er
increasing numbers, are appealing
to the Province . to take over their
,local policing duties.
And the Provincial. Police are
trained and . efficient officers. That
fact is exemplified every day in ev-
ery part of the Province. But there
is another , angle to this . situation
which we do not believe municipal
councils are giving sufficient atten-
tion. They could possibly obtain as
efficient- officers for their local polic-
ingduties as,are the Provincials --if
they paid the same money for their
services.
The gravestdanger,' as,, we see it,
is the undisputed fact that once the
Provincials move into a town or
county, that town or county surren-
ders its rights and authority to the
central government in Toronto.
Thereafter Toronto will dictate
tete »police policy for town and coun-
ty: And it will dictate the price; The
taxpayers, who provide the money,,
will have no future say whatever.
And hasn't the central government
already assumed too many of the
rights and authorities of the munici-
palities?
•
Is There A Town Bp -Law ?
We were under the impression
that Seaforth had a town by-Iaw re-
garding the erection. of street signs
and billboards within the municipal
boundaries. A by-Iaw giving the
town authority to prohibit the erec-
tion of Such signs where. they endan-
gered the public, or protected the
right of ratepayers to refuge' to have
unsightly signs spoil their .view in
Any residential district.
Apparently we were in error, or
perhaps there may be such a .by-law,,
but its wording niay,be too indefinite
or it Tacks teeth, as, so many munici- •
1)0 lr.laws are :vont to do: • .
'AT,TGTI'�S ' ,20, 1447.
a
Recently there has been erected on
a vacant site in the east end residen-
tial section a frame for a billboard,
some fifteen by thirty feet, which
when completed will flaunt the wares
of some commercial firm in the., eyes
of all, the district ratepayers and
.: householders.
It is not a pleasing prospect, and
we doubt if there is a single house-
holder who has the best interests of
the town at heart, approves of;• it.
But it would appear that the citizen
who prides himself on the appear-
ante of his property or his district,
has no say in the matter at all.
And it is not alone the immediate
property in the vicinity' of this big
billboard that will suffer in appear-
ance. The eastern approach to the
town will be marred by its presence.
In recent years the Lions Club has
spent a good many thousand dollars
in building and beautifying the Lions
Park and Pool at the' eastern en-
trance to town.
That they have been eminently
successful in their -work is evidenced
every day in the week, by the num-
ber of tourists in passing through on
the highway, who stop to admire the
its beauty. Only last week Arthur
Ford, editor of the London Free
Press, in a column article on the
beauty of Huron County, referred to
it in very special terms, saying that a
good many other towns in Western
Ontario would do well to try and
copy the example of Seaforth in
beautifying their towns.
The eastern entrance to Seaforth
is beautiful, -and as we say, countless
tourists have commented upon it.
But in' future, how long will those
first, good airnpfessions of Seaforth
last, when a few yards further on at
the crest of the hill, they are struck
in the' eye by a flaming billboard set
down in the Midst of one of the lead-
ing residential districts of the town?
And tourists' impressions of this
or any any town are important. If
they are good, as in the case of the"'
Lions Park and Pool, a comparison
is made with every town they pass
' through, and our town is advertised
over a wide area of Ontario, and it
even extends to the States.
Why not keep it that way?
•
Too Many Spivs
Prime Minister Attlee has 'declar-
ed open 'war on the Spivs. It is a
new word' to us, but apparently goes
away back tothe year 1690. And the
type is older than any present gov-
ernment.
One fact about the Spiv is that he
is not the product of any particular
government, or any particular social
system. And he thrives just as well
in Canada as he does in .the British
Isles. Perhaps even better.
One of the leading characteristics
of a Spiv is his roundabout and too
often crooked way of going after his
own selfish interests, and he is con-
tinually at war with the country's
best interests.
We all know the type in politics
and municipal affairs. But behind all
our boasted respectability, are we all
sure there is not a bit of the Spiv. in
us?
Or else, wlfy is the average human
so willing to blunt the edge of good
things, cut the corners and insist on
getting while the getting is good?

But When 11 Comes
The Montreal Gazette says: "All
through Winter and Spring,. one
marks time, as it were, waiting for
Summer. Summer is the reward to
compensate for frozen toes and
tingling fingers, the time when one
may cast off excess' baggage ' and
walk hatless and galoshless in the
sunshine."
Sure «we all , wait longingly and
more or less ptatien'tly for the Sum-
mer, and more particularly this year
of 1947. -
But when Summer really came at
long last, the first week in August
and has lingered with us ever since,
what are we saying about it? Un-
printable!
No human, or bunch ' of humans,
given tyle power, could make weather
to suit everyone. But if we had had
the power to make weather to suit
ourselves, we couldn't ha"ve made a
better job than the Weatherman has
made the past two weeks. The
weather is just grand, and we would
willingly take this kind right up to
December.

.LAZY _ AsY - YuEADOS -- _..
My grandfather always said that
for a place to have a quiet afternoon
of resting and thinking, you couldn't
beat an apple orchard in• summer-
time. Every, tine I try 'it I'm more
and more convinced of the wisdom of
(his words, -
While the rest of the folks were
having a rest'r' I collected an old
rocker from the back porch anti hik-
ed up' along the badliyard .fence to
the orchard. Then I put .the rocker
down in the shade of a sweet apple
tree, making certain that it was close
enough "to apples so that 1 wouldn't
have to move. I :just sat down when
plop! a big, sweet apple landed in
my lap. That certainly promised
we11 for the -rest of the afternoon.'
The dog ambled up and after chas-

came over and lay down, at my feet.
An inquisitive hen came along, eyed
me over carefully and then after tak-
ing a few pecks at an apple,• strolled
over into the garden to sample the
ripe tomatoes. She sort df knew that.
I was without the ambition on this
particular occasion to' bother her
very much..
There was the lazy- drone of flies
and insects and in the'background ,a
dull and almost monotonous sound of
the bees gathering pollen in the buck-
wheat patch. The wires on the fence
•
screeched as the old brindle cow Jes-
sie tried to reach -through for some
apples. Now and again a car went
by oe the road, but even the ears

hurry. It was Sunday afternoon. •
The Higgins boys went by, trudg-
ing along in their barefeet, to go to
the rimer for a swim. Some of the
olden boys went by in the opposite
direction, hoping, I suppose, to start
a baseball game All in all, it was
'a peaceful Sunday afternoon in the
country. A butterfly even landed on
my overalls for a brief moment or
two, tryling to figure out, I suppose,
whether I was alive or dead, •

Huron Federation Of 4:
Agriculture--FarrnNews
Variety of Uses For Farmers' Corn
The -contribution which farmers
make to many industries may not be
generally appreciated, and it is in-
teresting to trace the many uses to
which agricultural products are put.
The farmer 'who grows corn, as of-
ten as not thinks of it as silage for
farm feed, or cash crop. He knows
that it can be processed into starch
for laundry- •purposes, into the corn
meal and„ syrup widely used as food
products; into corn Oil as a dressing
for salads, for mayonnaise, as edible,
table oil, and into glutten as an in-
gredient of, cattle feed.
Actually these are only the nior'e-
obvious of the uses to which corn ,and
the products derived• from it can .be
applied. In the food industry it is
a valuable ingredient of baking, co-
coa, cake, custard and ice cream pow-
ders; candies, sauces and various eul-
inary and food preparations, -It is us-
ed in the biscuit, pastry, baking and
confectionery industry; in the menu-
'facture..of yeast and in the canning
and preserving industry. • As a raw
material it figures in the manufacture
of all types of sweetener products,
such as syrup, glucose and. dextrose.
Corn, too, is an ingredient of glues
and adhesives. The rubber industry
uses corn starch as an -ingredient of
compositions for coating'' the surface
of rubber articles to produce a
smooth, matt finish, and for dusting
to permit working with sheet rubber.
The size used for fine paper, kraft
and paper board and the warp sizing
used in the textile industry* are de-
rived from corn starch,
Corn is used by the, electrical in-
dustry in the ,manufacture of elect
trolytes used for re -charging dry
cells, by the pharmaceutical trade as
a binder in medicinal tablets; and' by
the retail druggist in compounding
and dispensing medicines. As an in-
gredient of cleansing solutions, and
a vehicle for holding tanning oextract,
the leather and tanning industry finds
it particularly useful.
Corn `starch is an ingredient of
some explosives and the raw material
in others, is used in foundry work,
and as an ore dressing to quicken`
the settling of ore. Even the every-
day match. owes something to the
farmer, for corn starch is frequently
used as a. binder 'in the • composition
of the -head of the match, It is used
in rayon manufacture, by the tobac-
co trade as ;an agent to hold moisture
and soap stock, a Tatty acid from corn
oil, le used in the soap industry,
Apart from the everyday household
use of corn meal, starch and sprup, at
least fifteen processing and, manu-
facturing industries,. use corn or pro-
ducts derived from its manufacture,
in lesser or greater degree, which in-
dicates the inter -dependence of ,agri-
culture and industry. ,

Raising Capons Good Business '
It is gelierally conceded that cap-
ons after the age of' five ,or gib!:
months will produce • more edible
flesh, per unit of feed than will the
normal male chicken, reports the
Poultry ' Division, Dominion Experi-
mental Farms Service. A capon is
an unsexed male chicken. It differs
from the normal intact male in sev-
eral respects.
- The justification for caponizing is
the improvement it makes In the
quality of the flesh, and not, as is so
frequently stated, the greatly increas-
ed growth of the bird. .As 'matter of,
fact, there is no appreciable differ-
ence in the growth of capons• and
cockerels up to about six months of
age, after which the capon continues
to grow and lay on flesh of a super-
ior quality.
Capons are more docile and less
active than normal males, which pos-
sibly accounts for greater deposits of
fat dispersing throughout 'the mus-
cles producing a superior. quality of
meat. Another advantage gained by
caponizing' is that,because the •flesh
of the capon does not get hard and
tough like that of the normal male,
it is possible to carry capons late in
the season, where the price 'justifies
it, thus extending the marketing per-
iod for fresh -killed roasters.
Any breed of fowl may be capon-
ized, but on account of the commer-
cial demand for large capons and•the
fact abet the capbu' becomes super-
ior to the cockerel only after. the
,greater part of the growth period has
been completed, it is. generally • ad-
visable to use the large or general-
purpose breeds,

`Rattlers' on Display in Blyth.
The men of the 'Radford Construc-
tion Company are• always coming up ti
with some new tale of the northland
where they have been busily engaged
during the s.ummeh crushing gravel
in, the Tohermory district. Last week
while Harold Cook was running the
crusher., he noticed a large snake
close by. It turned out to be a three-
foot rattler, and Harold called on Roy -
Smith, another employee, . who en-
gaged it 1n battle with a long -handled
shoved. The rattler showed .fight, all
right,' but succumbed finally to the
superior fighting of bis' adversary.
The rattlers were brought home a.s
proof. We always pictured them in
our minds as being as large as a
lady's bracelet and encircling the
snake so that when he moved he rat-
tled them. Imagine our dismay when
Harold Cook brought the rattlers in.
There were seven pair all joined to-
gether, and the entire string -was not
over an inch ion mire eh pair of rat-
tlei's were tehtytlt the size of a bean.--
