Clubs in County Assist in Organ- ization of Christmas Seal Campaigns. The Christmas -Seal Committee' of the Huron County Tuberculosis As- sociation met in Clinton recently when the county -chairman, W. A. Beecroft, conducted' the meeting. E. J. O'Brien, Toronto, secretary of the voluntary Ontario T.B. Associa- tion, said that a mass X-ray clinic for Huron County is to begin the week of May 31st, starting with Seaforth, then to Clinton, Hensall, Exeter and. Dashwood, to handle the Zurich - Grand Bend territory as it was decid- ed it was too far from thatearea to Exeter, back to Blyth, Brussels and Howick. Mr. O'Brien suggested he remove the mite boxes for the Queen Mary Hospital for tuberculosis children, from the banks as the intake was small and might interfere with the • Christmas seal campaign. During the last Christmas seal, calix' paign, $1,122 was apllected .from t`r14m' ton. The committee has ever V.3,000 to spend, a .sum gratifying to the members who had worked during the campaign. "Huron gave the highest Per capita return in Oanada in 1946," said Mr. O'Brien. Dr. S. A. Honing, of the Depart- ment of Health, outlined a program for tuberculosis control. He said a diagnostic program should be set up and •then broken down into different groups; first, mass survey; second, regular local X-ray clinics; third, make use of X-ray machines to exam- ine all patients in hospital; fourth, continuous education of the public. • Half a million in the province, said Dr. Holiing, have received chest X- rays paid for by 4he Christmas seal fund. Mass survey cannot be carried on every year, the service must be carried on in the county by setting' up t egular referred chest clinics in: hospitals, on a regular monthly basis.

Also, he said, the committee should reimburse the sanitarium for examining, of the plates. He suggested the eowmittee could donate X-ray equipment; he de- scribed miniature equipment which takes cheaper plates. Lt was decided tQ reimburse the secretaries of the vlinics at 'a rate of $75 la year. The chairman, W. A. Beecroft, brought up the matter of reorganiza- tion. M. A. Reid, Seafarth,outlined the idea that the Lions Clubs take over the campaigns and,hin the setting up of the .clinics. Members of the Lions Clubs in Huron County were present and gave their views They expressed willingness to help under an overriding committee from the Christmas- Seal Committee. Lt was finally decided that the executive re- main the same and that they solicit the aid of the Lions Clubs in Huron. County for the mass clinic survey and the Christmas Seal Campaign. A mem- ber from each Lions Club is to be in- vited to the next executive meeting to give their decisions and decide on the territory to be covered by each club. As the money collected in Hur- on County is spent here, each club will be credited with what they raise but the executive will handle the money as before. Mayor M. A. Reid, C. E. Smith and C. A. Baster attended the meeting from Seaforth. oN'S by Ottawa observer Members o fCanada's parliament went home to their constituencies last week with a good record of ac- complishment. Two bills caused a great deal of heated controversy—a :-,,vision of the Canadian wheat board act and the excise tax bill to protect Canada's dollar position—and both were passed by substantial majori- tics. The bills which continued 4.,onie. of the wartime controls, includ- ing domestic rent and eviction con- trols. were passed in spite of consid- erable opposition. Supporters of the continuance of domestic rent controls argue that landlords are now able to keep their property completely' rented whereas the average rented space before the war was considerably less .than 100 per cent of the available space. This, they argue, amounts to a reasonable rental increase to offset higher main- tenance costs. In addition to this a 10 per cent increase was allowed last year on two-year leases. It is point- ed out that the housing shortage is caused by the policy which directed all supplies toward the war effort for five years and no one should expect to gain from this situation. Anti -Cyclical Budgeting Policy One subject which causes continu- ous argument in the nation's capital is what is considered to be the govern ment's policy of anti -cyclical budget- ing. In a few words this is the plan by which the government -having re- gard to the ebb and Jflow of beth do- mestic and internatioSal trade -]'eaves taxes at a rate which will produce surpluses when the national income is high, and reduces taxes drastically, and spends heavily on public works, when these are necessary to prevent a depression. Many argue that it is not in the publicinterest to reduce taxation now with the national income over nine billion dollars. That government pol- icy ,should o1-icy,should be to raise revenue when money is available and to reduce tax- ation when money is "tight" in spite of a greater need for revenue then. Many remember the disaster of the early 1930's when the government of the day increased tax rates to meet relief needs, etc., at a time when the national income was low. They claim that this action of the government greatly increased a depression which arose from causes outside Canada's borders. Is It Possible in a Democracy? In spite of a general agreement as to its value its preventing depression and maintaining a good standard, of living—the question in many minds: Is cyclical boudgeting possible in, a democracy? Left wingers argue that only an authoritarian government could carry out such a policy. They claim that pressures for tax reduction in good times would prevent any dem- ocratic government from building up the necessary surplus to meet a de- pression threat. This claim is simi- lar to Hitler's belief that the democrat cies were "decadent" and Could not act quickly enough to protect them- selves against his aggression. All ad- mit that it is a supreme test for peo- ple who believe in freedom. An Expert Speaks When this question was put to Dr. MacKintosh, Professor of Political and Economic Science at Queen's University—and wartime advisor to the Minister of Finance—ire'said: "Something would depend upon how well the peoples Understood what the government was trying to do. .I em- phasized that there would need to be at least an effort made to explain a policy of this kind—at least the ef- fort that the government put in to explaining the prices ,policy during the war, an effort. which paid such high return in the complia.nce of the population and which was, I think, a much more difficult system to un- derstand than what I am suggesting. "If a person understands and has confidence that your higher tax rates. are to be followed by an easing of the tax rates should business recede, I See no reason for anyblunting of in- dentive."

"But that does not conceal the fact that those of us were wrong who thought that democrats, socialists and communists could as yet work trust- fully in team harness." (Vancouver Sun, March 6). His conversion, however, is short- lived—he goes on to say that unless Canada accepts his definition of "civil liberties" (presumably for Commun- ists) we "cannot complain of a Com- munist coup in Czechoslovakia." L. M. P.C. One of the reasons for a large measure of labor-management. co- operation and labor peace in Canada is the spread of "Labor -Management - Production -Committees.." "It is the bestlhing that ever happened to this mill," is the comment of C. A. Mich- els of the Great Lakes Paper Co.. con- cerning their L,M.P.C.

Much credit for this progress must ge to genuine labor leaders in Canada. the rank and file of labor and Labor Minister Mitchell, In The Garden First Plantings Usually there is one corner of the garden which is dry before the rest. This is the spot to plant the very early things, hardy vegetables and• flowers that can go in the ground just as soon as one can get out and dig. Frost and snow later on will not hurt these, and some of them must make their first growth while soil and air are cool. Among the vegetables in this cate- gory will be radish, leaf lettuce, spin- ach, early onions and the hardiest of the garden peas. Of course, this re- fers to first planting& only. Main plantings should go in later, and final plantings after that. With vegetables it is important to string out the plant- ings so that the . harvest will be eq- ually extended. All the vegetables mentioned can be planted at least three times. a fortnight apart, and some like lettuce and radish, carrots, beets. beans, etc., can be planted at intervals right up to the first week in July. Among the hardy flowers will be things like cosmos, marigolds, pan- sies. sweet peas and anything else listed as very hardy in a Canadian seed catalogue. Some of these are so resistant to frost that• they sow 'them- selves and come on as volunteer plants in the spring, Some of them, especially sweet peas, must be plant- ed just as soon as possible in the spring , if they are to make proper growth before the hot weather checks them. In Your Planning No matter how unfavorable the lo- cation there is some flower, vegetable or shrub that will thrive in it. The ideal garden, of course, is open to the sun and the soil is a rich, well -drain- ed loam. But there are many plants which do not like' these ideal condi- tions. Some flowers, vegetables and certain varieties of grass, prefer shade, some want acid soil 'rather than sweet, some like heavy clay bet- ter than loam or sand. The thing in planning is to consid- er these special likes and dislikes, then to select those plants that suit one's special location. Most vegetables, however, are pret- ty keen on a generous amountof sun,. but they have distinct likes and dis- likes in the matter of soil. For deep- rooted things like carrots, potatoes, etc.. it is important that the soils, be fairly loose at least a foot down. Cer- tain types prefer sandy soil to clay. But. no matter what the soil is like to start with by a little planning and care one can change it fairly easily. Soils To Fit if yery wet and heavy it may be necessary to drain the garden either by tile drains or shallow, open trenches. These heavy soils, too, will greatly benefit if manure, rotted leaves and all other vegetable mat- ter is dug in. Some people make a practice to sow half the garclen with some green crop like rye, buckwheat or clover and dig in when well grown. Even a good crop of weeds will help if dug under. MI waste matter like Chesterfields pea pods, carrot tops., corn stalks•, etc.. should be saved and dug in, .Strangely enough the same treat- mentand is good for light, sandy soil. The rotted vegetable refuse dug in 'adds what is technically known as humus, puts some body into the soil so it will hold moisture better. • 1 ..V ■ • uccasianai t,:nairs REPAIRED AND RECOVERED Also Auto Seats and Backs, Verandah Swings and Steamer Chairs Repaired.

Gazing and Glare Never look directly at the sun. Ev- en dark glasses may not protect your eyes sufficiently.

Spare the Spanking They used to claim that "if you spare the rod, you'll spoil the child." Modern thought on this subject is that such methods of punishment as spanking, strapping and slapping should be used very seldom, and then only as a last resort. If such punish- ment is administered too freely and frequently, it creates resentment in a child who is to small to defend him- self. This resentment is apt to re- sult in the child showing cruelty to SURGE MRS DAIRY ,MAID Rot Water Heaters J. B.
