Increased In Huron County
The work under the superintendent
and social worker. of the Children's
Aid Society of Huron County has in-
creased two an&..one-half times over
last year, Miss Clare McGowan, sooial°
worker, stated in submitting the an-
nual report, in the absence through
illness of the superintendeest, Mrs.
nf, Chaffee, to the annual meeting of
the Children's Aid Society,, in the
Court House, Goderich, on )londay
night, Feb. 9.
Both Mrs. Chaffee and Mies McGow-
an, becauseof pressure of work, had
willingly worked overtime, and had
not taken holidays during the year,
which was one of the most strenuous
and active in the society's history.
Miss McGowan reported 128 new
cases involving 172 children, besides
those of family allowance families.
Over 3,000 visits were made as com-
pared with 1,929 the previous year.
In a •v' w

Backache is often caused by lazy kidney

Fifteen hundred letters were written

Much interest,. it was. stated, bee
been 'aroused in the work throughout
.the county by• addresses given at Wo-
men's Institutes, church organizations,
sohool clubs, and by radio broadcasts.
There were 33 additional cases .of
child proteetion work during the year.
Twenty-five of ties total 65 cases were
closed,- leaving 42 still open. The vast
amount of work entailed is shown in
the fact that it required 33 first in-
vestigations involving 83 children;
937 visits and 687 office interviews;
three medical and two mental clinic
attendances made.
,Some of the factors involved in
these cases included marital discord;
medical, moral and physical neglect;
non-support, drunkenness, illness of
Parent o

tal illness, personality problems, sep-
aration of parents, delinquency of
children, desertion, imprisonment and
sex offences; two deaf mutes who
were taken for training to the School
for the Deaf at Belleville. One boy
is at the School for Boys at Bowman-
ville, and one girl in care is at the
Georgetown School for Girls, both of
whom show a vast improvement since
entering these schools.
In connection with this work, Mrs.
Chaffee and Miss McGowan attended
35 court cases; 10 children were made
permanent wards, and 10 temporary
wards.
Under "children in care" the year
1947 was started with 83 children.

Aluminum makes good hair curlers and
'hotel fronts. It is light. It is strong.
It cannot rust.
This is why more than six hundred Canadian
companies are making useful and beautiful
things of this versatile metal.
Aluminum products range all the way from
.artificial limbs to railway cars, from muzzles
for lobster's claws to bridges, from toys to
aircraft. Aluminum is versatile because it is
:so light, so durable and so economical.
ALU
VERSATiLE...and UNIVERSAL
Every country in the world is to-
day buying Canadian Aluminum
produced at Arvida, Canada,
home of the largest Aluminum
smelter in the world. The "Alcon"
ingot has become a major factor
in world trade — and a valuable
source of the foreign exchange
which Canada needs to cover
her own buying abroad.

door with a bar. The men had col-
lected some shoes and clothing ready
to carry away when they were dis-
covered. At least one trip had been
made to the car as a number of art-

Mrs. Albert Taylor and Mrs. Geo.

the sympathy of the society to Mrs.
Chaffee in her illness, and it was un-
animously agreed that both she and
Miss McGowan must take holidays
this year.
The present staff was re-engaged,
and the executive was empowered to
look into the salary schedule.
The holding of sectional meetings
of the society was discussed. It was
felt these might create more interest
if held in Goderich and at points in
the north and south of the county. A
committee to formulate plans for
these was appointed, composed of C.
-M. Robertson, Harry McCreath, Mrs.
Albert Taylor, Mrs. George Johnston

Prime Minister's
Address
Press men and political observers
here are still discussing the address
given by the Prime Minister last week
to the National Liberal Federation,
meeting. While his call for a Liberal
party c ,nvention thisyear stole all
the headlines, the careful observers
are giving more study to the two-
thirds of his address which referred
to the policies of the government
with respect to both our internal and
external affairs.
Our World Interests
From bis deep knowledge of and
first hand study of European affairs,
Mr. King warned Canada that the
Communists were determined to con-
quer the world, Those who know the
Prime Minister best know how re-
luctantly he decided that this warn-
ing must be given now so that, if
possible, this menace should be stop-
ped before it brings war.
It is clearly a time for deep think-
ing, for moderation in expression and
for a closer unity and understanding
among all Canadians. Mr. King's
call for the organization of an "In-
ternational Force" to preserve peace
was an historic declaration. It is be-
lieved here than Canadians will sup-
port the government in its determina-
tion to share justly in this measure
for security which is so essential to
the betterment of our own conditions,
Our. Home Affairs
Economists here bare long been
aware of the outside factors which
affect our own standard and wax of
life. A significant expression of the
Prime Minister's is worth quoting :
"Our country is more dependent than
most countries upon condition's be-
yond its borders. We cannot hbpe to
insulate Canada from the effects of
rising prices all over the world." He
pointed out that price control was
possible during the war because it
was aimed at reducing civilian pro-
duction. This policy would not, be
benefifial in peace time when' it be-
came necessary to rapidly increase
civilian production to meet the needs
and wants of our people. His a .n-
nouncement of is: public bearing on.
prices by a committee of our elected
parliament will give oppositionpar-
ties an opportunity to present any
evidence they have on unfair prices.
Mr, 'King pointed out that It was un-
fair to ask that feed prices—the in -e-
duces Of, the farm—should be comtrel-
led -when factory prices continued to
:else. He t1edged the Liberal Party
to euppart of the Tights of the "com-
munity" rather than that of xny spe-
cial group.

This policy was ohanged in one un-

perately trying to keep the C.C.F.
party in favor. Communist labor of -

DON'T BE an IN and OUTER
It Pays To Stay IN When Others
Drop Out !
If you go in and out of any line of business
you are almost sure to be in when you would
probably be better out, and OUT when you should
be IN! The more adverse conditions are today
the better they will be tomorrow. Thousands of
buyers bought chicks last year because last year
was good. Unfortunately this year was -not so
good, due to feed prices rising before Eggs and
Poultry Meat prices were adjusted accordingly.
However, they are being and will be on a com-
parative basis. The law of supply and demand
will take care of that.
The Chicks you are buying now are for next
year's production and profits, so this is the time
to stay IN or go IN, if you are one of those who
goes in and out.
'A' Large Eggs 60 to 70 Cents Per
Dozen Next Summer and Early Fall
We and other prominent Hatcherymeu pre-
dict egg prices will be away above the floor ex-
port price for the early Fall period at least.
Here's why: January and February and early
March hatchings will be down to 40-50% of last
year for Ontario, and perhaps more for Canada
as a whole.
Old Hens Cut Drastically By June
The production of eggs (A Large) from old
bens will probably be cut by 50% during June,
July, August, September and October. Thousands
of hens have gone to market, and are going to
market now at high prices -26 to 32 cents a
pound alive at the farm.
POULTRY MEAT PRICES
COQKERELS and 3-4 POUND BROILERS, 35
CENTS A POUND. HENS, 26-32 CENTS A
POUND. CAPONS, 40 CENTS A POUND
ALIVE AT THE FARM
Yes, Poultry Meat prices have risen greatly
in the past six weeks, and we say they will stay
or go higher. Here's why:
• We have a good American market.
• The duty has been reduced to 2
cents per pound.
• The American production of
try is away down.
Start Chicks Early
It is more important than ever that you start
your Chicks early this year. The Poultrymen who
started chicks early fast year still made good
money, but this year it is even more important.
Prompt Delivery February Hatched
Day -Old and 2-4 Weeks Old Chicks
We expect we can give prompt delivery in
most breeds for February and perhaps early
March in day-old and 2, 4 and 6 -week-old chicks
and •pullets. Hundreds of customers who have
their orders in have booked for later delivery
than last year. We can change your order for
earlier delivery. We tell you it will pay you
well, The few cents extra fuel or feed costa
won't be comparable to the extra profits you will
reap early next Fall. Started Chicks and Pullets
are all raised in modern up-to-date equipment
in air-conditioned brooder plant.
