Garbage Collection
Cards are being sent out to all the
ratepayers of Seaforth inviting an
expression of opinion on a town sys-
tem of garbage collection. In this
day it would hardly seem necessary
to go to all that trouble before the
council would deem it wise to take
action.
Many, if not most of the towns in
Western Ontario, already have a
town system of garbage collection,
and in the very immediate future all
others will be forced to adopt a simi-
lar system.
The reason is not hard to see. The
day of barns and outhouses, into and
• behind which household garbage us-
ed to be disposed,are gone forever.
Living as we do today so much out
of tin cans, only adds to the difficul-
ty, because cans buried in a garden
do not improve the fertility of the
soil, nor help in gardening opera-
tions.
We have heard it said too, that
garbage can easily be burned. But
where, particularly in winter, if a
householder has an oil furnace and
a hydro range?. And those house-
holders have multiplied within a
year and will continue to multiply as
the years go by.
Nor does the argument that a
town garbage collection is too expen-
sive to hold weight. The average cost
to a ratepayer would not exceed at
most two dollars a year. Compared
to the cost of fighting an epidemic of
disease, that is nothing. And because
we now live under conditions that
make some system of garbage col-
lection an° absolute necessity, we are
openly inviting an epidemic, by the
refusal to recognize or accept that
fact.
However, we believe Seaforth
ratepayers are sanitary minded en-
ough and progressive enough to
keep our town in the forefront of
modern towns by. a decidedly favor-
able expression of opinion in favor
of a town garbage system.
Christmas Seals
This is the time of year when one
again sees thousands of those bright
little stamps adorning Christmas
letters and parcels, and the more
there are of them this year the bet-
ter it will be for the health of the
people in the year and years to come.
The money that is raised from the
sale of these little Christmas' stick-
ers is used entirely for the preven-
tion of tuberculosis throughout the
Dominion.
It is quite true that tuberculosis
has been pushed back to seventh
place, instead of first, which it held
for so long, as a cause of death in
this country, but the fact can not be
denied that it still takes a heavy toll
of lives every year.
Last year more than 5,000 Cana-
dians died of the disease, and it still
remains the greatest single cause of
death between the ages of 15 and 45
years of age. That is a very distarb-
ing fact, because those are the most
productive years of life, in this coun-
try particularly.
Medical science has demonstrat-
ed that tuberculosis is now curable,
that it can be stopped in its trucks.
One medical authority explains how
in these words: "Tuberculosis is an
insidious disease. It does not blazen
forth its symptoms until the mis-
chief is well advanced. The only
means of wiping out tuberculosis is
prevention, which is based on the
discovery of sources of infection at
an early stage. This can be done by
the all -seeing eye of the X-ray."
It is now possible to X-ray all the
people of Canada, and with the funds
provided froxn the sale of Christmas
seals, the Sanatorium is now engag-
ed in carrying out this great work.
Last year a mobile X-ray unit visit-
ed Huron County and a complete
survey will soon be accomplished.
But it is absolutely imperative
that this plan to discover new cases
early must be carried on continuous-
ly if we are -to reach the goal of the
complete destruction of. tuberculosis.
To accomplish this end, a much
greater response on the part of the
public to the sale of Christmas seals
is necessary.
And surely, with the knowledge Of
thq facts before them, there will be
no doubt but that every citizen will
meet the challenge by buying liber-
ally of the Christmas seals.

Public Ownership,
There are many opinions of public
ownership, pro and con, in this Pro-.
vince and district, but there is one
phase of it that is becoming all too
popular in every community.
4 short time ago the Pahlerston
Observer made an editorial rrefer-
ence to it in these words: "The ways
of some folks are hard to under-
Atand. Many turned out to form a
bucket brigade at Moorefield last
Friday, and help ELI, \,--; what could be
saved of the feed storage building
there. The hardware man released
his entire stock ofi hew pails that
there might be enourh to go around.
The Observer was told that, he issued
24 new pails, but when the fire was
out, only 18 could be found. The
pails were probably earned through
the efforts of the bucket brigade, but
taking them without asking was
hardly the correct,thing. Then some
one returned later, and helped them-
selves liberally to the binder twine
that escaped the blaze. Looting af-
ter a fire or similar disaster is look,
ed upon as a.serious offence, and we
believe it is the only offence in Can-
ada where officers are empowered to
shoot offenders,"
Looting is a serious offence, and
perhaps there are times when looters
deserve to be shot. But there is an-
other kind of looting that is grow-
ing increasingly popular, and while
we do not advocate shooting as a
remedy, we believe some stiff sen-
tences should be handed out by the
courts.
Almost every day some persori los-
es a purse or a parcel, a watch, or
something else of value, on the
streets of a town, at some public
gathering, or on the roads of the
country. There is no doubt what-
ever, that nine times out of ten ,these
articles are picked up by some one.
But not once in five hundred is any
effort made to find the owner, or any
return made to him or her, even
when identification is 'present.
There seems to be a feeling today
among far too many people that it
is quite all right to pick up did carry
off anything that is not securely nail-
ed down. That any desirable article,
.or anything that strikes their fan-
cy, is public property and they have
a perfect right to appropriate it to
their own use whenever opportunity.
offers.
There is nothing either moral or
healthy in the practice of that phase
of public ownership. Yet every com-
munity suffers from ft, and what an
example it is to the rising generation
who need no further relaxation of
either moral or civil laws.

Last week I happened to be in the

be just the right kind of a day for a
person getting out and doing the
Christmas shopping. The first. thing
.•
that happened was when a man in the
railroad station came up and tried "to

be just the thing to frighten the day-

I went into a store and a record-
ing machine was playing a tradition-

ed up tempo. Every place you look-
ed there was somebody trying to sell
you something for Christmas and in
the big stores the salesgirls looked as
if they had sore feet. Every time you

a big iron pot, would ring a bel in

pUnch in the stomach when somebody
knocked my hat off. Then I tried to
squeeze down and pick it up and some-
body kicked me. I was glad to get
out of the place with my life intact.
The battle was too much. The
couatry wanderer decided to head for
heme. When 1 got off the train at
the village, Ben Peters who was do‘kia
to pick up the mail, said "Merry
Christmas, Phil." I walked on down
the Main Street. There was a little
bell hanging up inthe window of the
butcher shop. ,Ine 'Maguire had ,a
wreath that lit' up hinging in the
window of his barber shop. It shone
out over the snow in a pretty sort of
way, in that,dusk that comes down so
swiftly on a winter eveniag.
I stopped in front of the old, church
on Main Street. There was music
seeping out in a quiet and pleasant
way. Abigail Peters was practicing
up for Christmas. I stood listenin
to the old hymns and Christmas mel

To Prevent Colds, Roup in Poultry
During the fall and winter months
colds and roup frequently occur in
poultry flocks. Partly matured mil-
lets appear to be rnore susceptible
than older hens. The first symptoms
are usually a watery discharge from
the nose and eyes. The birds sneeze
and throw up their heads in an effort
to clear the nasal chambers. In ad-
vanced cases the breathing apparatus
may become affected, or a puffiness
or swelling mut" develop about the
eye. The eye itself usually becomes
closed by the swelling,
Though the disease is caused by
one or more specific germs, it is
thought that birds which are not on
a well-balanded diet may be more
susceptible. 'It is believed particu-
larly that a Vitamin "A" deficiency
may be Partly responsible. This vita-
min is found in succulent green reed
and fish oil.
Birds showing advanced symptoms
of the disease should be isolated.
Treat the flock by spraying at night
with the following mixture: Six ounc-
es Listerine; 2 ounces Eucalyptus; 1
ounce Spirits of Camphcir; 2 quarts
Coal Oil. Continue spraying every
night 'Until the trouble Clears up.
Birds suffering badly with the disease
can have their beads idipped into the
soltition. The head should be held it
until the bird begins to struggle, as
this assures that the solution is drawn
into the nasal passages. In Oases
*here a swelling has developed it
should be opened after it has niatur-
rate of one pint per 100 pounds of
mash, or it ban be fed in a warm wet
mash at noon each day. •Four to six
tablespoons per 100 birds per day
should giv.? the required amount. If
the oil is mixed *ith the, mash, it
should be rubbed in by hand until
thoroughly mixed and free from
lumps.

cured by writing to the nearest Dom-
inion Experimental Station or Agri-
cultural College.
