The Neighborly Spirit
7uch of the work which led to the
building up of this district in the
years when it was young was done
:by the united effort of ..the relatively
few pioneers who formed the popu-
lation of that time. Had it been oth-
erwise, it is doubtful if the virgin
country would have reached the de-
velopment which today Ls so appar-
ent.
If a settler was about to erect a
,barn or a house, or if he needed help
clearing a field, or if disaster struck
his neighbor -and a neighbor in
those days was anyone living within
a day's walk -could be counted on to
contribute his or her labor towards
the task in hand. Huron pioneers
knew that each could not live unto
himself, but that by co-operation and
anutual aid, much could be accomp-
lished.
That the spirit of helping one's
neighbor in time of trouble is still
prevalent was apparent during re-
cent weeks. On several different oc-
casions, the desire to help .a fellow
citizen exerted itself and through or-
ganized effort, disaster, which other-
-wise might well have been crippling,
was eased.
j -The Walton area rallied to the aid
of an Old Country family, who, re-
cently- arrived in Canada, lost every-
thing when fire struck their newly
acquired home. In a strange coun-
try, unable to speak the language,
the family was taken in charge by a
community -minded committee, who
through ingenuity and perserver-
ance, succeeded in the space of a
few weeks in providing suitable liv-
ing accommodation. While the fire
that destroyed their home may at
the time have seemed a cruel blow,
it may well have been because of the
neighborliness that welled up in its
- wake, the means of the family
having been assimilated within the
community much more quickly than
otherwise would have been the case.
They are no longer strangers in a
strange land, but are part and par-
cel of the community.
When fire destroyed the hundred -
year -old Egmondville blacksmith
shop a month ago, the district was
not long in rallying behind a com-
mittee charged with ensuring its re-
placement. Here it was not entire-
ly a matter of helping an unfortun-
ate owner. The Egmondville shop-
, its facilities expanded and moderniz-
ed to meet changing conditions -had
been more than a forum at which the
farmers of the district could express
their opinions. It served a real need
in the midst of a busy agricultural
district. The district realized this,
and this realization is resulting in
not only substantial cash donations,
but also ready and willing workers
anxious to give their time as a means
of hurrying the day when a new and
better shop will be in operation.
That is as it should be. Any com-
munity that treats the troubles of
one of its number as its own, is bound
to be a better community.

Planned Sandwiches
Planning ahead of time is neces-
sary if full use is to be made of one's
time. But on the other hand, plan-
ning can go: too far -even in Eng-
land where an, army of planners
brks day In and day out producing
egulatiaiils which from time to time
�daubtedly .baffle and befuddle the
a• ned‘fors.

a
tie and rax somethinglike this:
`Bread should bo slice; not thick,
e ' than half an loch, thinner if it i$
found that the workers prefer daint-
iness to bulk ... The quantity of
food can be maintained by serving
an extra sandwich containing a pro-
portion of bread and filling derived
from reducing one of the other
sandwiches."
Obviously the suggestion is that
the lunch pail may contain several
thin sandwiches and a thick one, the
thick one containing a lot less filling
than the thin ones.
Unfortunately at this point the
eater is left high and dry -cast on
his own initiative: Should he eat
the thick one .first and save the thin,
tasty ones for later, or should he
guzzle the thin ones first and strug-
gle through the thick, drier one af-
terwards?
Not only are England's house-
wives told how to prepare a sand-
wich, but a doubt is cast even on
their capability to manage their own
kitchens.
Says Mr. Douglas Jay,, Socialist
Member of Parliament and Econ-
omic Secretary of the Treasury:
"Housewives as a whole cannot be
trusted to buy all the right things
where nutrition and health are con-
cerned ... The gentlemen in White-
hall really does know what is good
for people better than people know
themselves."
The women of England can take
a lot as they proved during block-
ades of the First World War and
bombers of the Second World War.
But interference in their kitchens by
mere males operating from some re-
mote government centre, could eas-
ily be the turning point.
Planning can go too far!
Democracy Defined
Hon. Lester B. Pearson, Minister
of External Affairs, quoted.. The
New `Yorker, in its definition of
democracy in a recent speech before
the Canadian Teachers' Federation
and the quotation bears repeating.
It runs like this:
"It -is.. the line that iforms on the
right. It is the 'hi' as against the
`heil.' It is the `don't' in `Don't
Shove.' It is the hole in the stuffed
shirt through which the sawdust
slowly trickles; it is the dent in the
high hat. Democracy is the recur-
rent suspicion that more than half
of the people are right more than
half of the time. It is the feeling of
privacy in the voting booths, the
feeling of communion in the librar-
ies, the feeling of vitality every-
where."

A Colorful Commons
(Lethbridge Herald)
The next session of Parliament should be one
of the most interesting from a spectator's view-
point in the history of Confederation. Not only
will he have the chance of •hearing such pressing
problems as cost -of -living, national defence„
freight rates, and housing discussed by his elect-
ed representatives, but he will 'have the golden
opportunity of watching such famous Canadian
personalities as George Drew, G. D. Howe, Prime
Minister St. Laurent, M. J. Coldwell, Jean Fran-
cois Pouliot, Mike Pearson„ Stuart Gerson, John
Bracken, Solon Low, Jimmy Gardiner, John
Diefenbaker and of course, the retired prime
minister, Mackenzie King, in action. Never be-
fore has a House of Commons spectator had as
golden an opportunity of seeing so many out-
standing Canadian personalities working together
under the same roof.

Better Higher Taxes
(Waterloo Chronicle)
Consensus among local merchants and busi-
ness men is that taxes in Waterloo are nowhere
near a point where we should become alarmed
about them. One merchant even went so far
as to say that he would be willing to pay double
his present taxes just so long as Waterloo con-
tinued the present rate of progress that was
started) this year, Taxes are with us to stay,
anal while they may through prudent spending be
lowered in the next year or two„ let us not put
lowering of taxes first and the building of our
city last.

Village Revival
(St. Marys Journal Argus)
Today,. although many of these villages are just
a crossroad memory, there appears to be e, treed
toward re-establishment in many places. Right
around the St. Marys district these signs are
evident. The Village of Wellborn, for instance,
has increased in size and a new hamlet has grown
up at Uniondale, while both Granton and Thorn -
dale are larger villages to some extent due na
doubt to the fact that with the versatility of
Modelo transportation and the thigh costs of
rentals and living in the larger urban centres,

"A PAMPERER
"It never pays& to pamper •a
ytmag 'ull!!" That its a. sage reflec-
tion of an uncle of mine and in
the past few days I am more than
ever convinced that he knew what
he was talking about the day he
told me. His conviction is that no
matter what the circumstances
may be, you pay in the long run
for pampering' of any kind.
Grunter, our grumbling Berk-
shire,
erkshire, had a litter of little •pigs one
night. There were eight perfect
pigs and one runt. Thisrunt seem-
ed to be a social outcast among
the others and even his mother
nudged him none too gently out of
the way. He was the ugly duck-
ling
uckling of the pig family.
Mrs. Phil's Aunt Bessie was at
Lazy Meadows at the time and she
decided to take charge of the runt.
He was 'Walled in a lined basket
behind the stove in the kitchen.
Shivering and jiggling when he
went in, the warm milk in the bot-
tle which they kept forcing him to
lap up through a nipple, soon
rounded out some of the wrinkles
in bis little body.
His least squeal would bring
somebody' running to give him at-
tention. Patricia Ann kept pilin.g
on the covers until he must have
been sweating lard, but that inso-
lent little runt just kept on pros-
pering.
His ' squeal developed into a
grunt and he was moved out in
his basket to the woodshed. He
developed in time, a tendency to
hop out of the basket and when
Mrs. Phil discovered one Monday
morning that he had burrowed
down into a pile of clothes waiting
to be washed, he was ordered
away from the house.
Porky seemed just like a boy
in velvet rompers put in among a
group of street urchins in dirty
clothes when he was deposited
with his brothers and sisters in
the pen under the driving shed.
He may have been a tyrant in his
little basket in the house] but he
was a knee -shaking coward with
those eight others.
Now pig -pens are not the clean-
est spots on a farm. Porky seem-
By Harry J BOY e
ed to shrink up when his feet
touched the floor. He 'backed in-
to a corner and hunched his ,back
and his estranged brothers and•'
sisters ranged around and looked
him over. His clean hide seemed
no doubt very strange to them.
They moved in a 'little closer and
Porky pulled back as far as the
boards would allow him to go, m
Feeding -time intterrtipted at the
right time and the fancily all
trouped in tQ see what was on the
menu. While they went at the
task in a hearty manner, Porky
stood around helpless. He was a
bottle-fed baby. When he was
moved in on the production line,
Grunter took a couple of bites at
him and he twisted his tail up and
squealed his way back into the
other pen.
When eve came back to do the
chores after supper the other
members, of the family, had him
backed into a corner and were giv-
ing
iving him a real share of punish-
ment. He was squealing and
grunting and kicking ... and Mrs.
Phil and Aunt Bessie handed
down an ultimatum that he would
have to go into a pen of his own.
That's how it is that Porker has
prospered in a pen of his own.
Pampered by everyone in the fam-
ily, he gets the tastiest left -overs.
A runt when he started out in life,
he is now at that weight so ap-
preciated by the Bacon Board and
the packing plants.
The trouble now is that the fam-
ily think that Porker should be
spared from the execution block.
Every day he is putting on the
pounds and every day that I men-
tion taking him away to market
there is a show of tears. As a
sort of compensation to him they
shower more tasty victuals on him:
which all means more weight
and less chance of a bonus' on him.
The day is approaching when
Phil Osifer will have to get firm
and take Porker away, realizing
that for several days while the
memory is strong he will be re-
garded with glances that so plain-
ly say in a reproachful way, "You
sold that poor little runt to a
packing plant!"

Fall Work on Land
Of the land intended for next
year's crop, 68 per cent is esti-
mated to have been worked at
October 31, as compared with 50
at the same date last year, re-
ports the Dominion Bureau of. Sta-
tistics. By provinces the percent-
ages are as follows, with the 1947
figures in brackets: Prince Ed-
ward Island 46 [62] Nova Scotia,
56 [49] ; New Brunswick, 57 [59] ;
Quebec, 56 [61] ; Ontario„ 69 [58] ;
Manitoba, 82 [86] ; Sasllatc.hewan,
65 [28] ; Alberta, 72 [59] ; British
Columbia, 45 [44].
Seed Requirements
Seed must not contain excess
moisture. Grain harvested in good,
condition and which is thoroughly
dry greminates promptly. Seed
must also be plump and well filled
to insure an adequate supply of
plant food for the seedlings. ,
A prompt and strong "germina-
tion is important in the control of
weeds in cereal grains. The first 10
days after seeding often decides
whether the crop will be clean and
uniform, or if it will be weedy
and patchy. Delayed and weak
germination often results from
seed that contained excess mois-
ture at harvest and never dried
properly.
World Food Supply Still Inadequate
Supplies of food available for
consumption in 1947-48 were great-
er than in the previous year in
most countries of the world except
Western Europe. But total avail-
able supply is not all the picture;
availability per person is just as
important. The world's popula-
tion has been increasing and at
different rates in different regions.
These population increases, it is
pointed out in the October "Cur-
rent Review," a publication of the
Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture, over the 11 year period 1930
to 1947, vary from 3.5 per cent in
Europe to 24 per cent in Latin
America. As a result of this poliu-
lation increase, food supplies per
person have fallen more rapidly,
compared with pre-war, than the
total quantities of food produced.
As' regards the energy value of
the food! supplies, the current situ-
ation shows that apart from the
Argentine, Oceni, Canada, the
United States and a few European
couftries, the food supplies of any
ngle country would be nutrition-
ally
utritionally inadequate even if distributed
evenly throughout the population.
As it 1st,, the inequality of distribu-
tion results in certain sections of
the population faring much wortt+a
than a national average would
sn:ggest. In instances where eff go -
title rationing measures have been
instituted and special programs
developed for needy groups of the
population, the inequality of dis-
tribution has been mitigated con-
siderably. So effective have been
these measures in some countries
that they have been reflected: in
improved national health despite a
reduction of the over-all food sup-
ply of the countries concerned.
In total the world is still pro-
ducing less food than before the
war, although the population con-
tinues to increase. A remarkable
contrast exists between the expan-
sion in the Western Hemisphere
and the severe decline in Europe,
House Plants Need Rest in Winter
According to horticultural offi-
cials of the Dominion Department
of Agriculture„ winter should be a
season of rest for house plants•. It
should be a periodof relaxation
and an opportunity to etore up
eeergy for later activity.
The resting period is naturally
induced by the shortened. days and
lowered temperatures. With many
plants this slowing process may be
imperceptible, with others it is
distinct and unmistakable. Bulbous
plants are an instance of complete
rest. Many house plants will cease
to bloom and others will do so
feebly. Most of those which will
flower at this season have been
conditioned or prepared for bloom-
ing during the preceding months
of summer or autumn.
Recognition of the above facts
indicates the winter treatment All
practices which tends to stimulate
growth should be held in check.
Less water is needed, potting and
root disturbance of any kind should
be suspended, Fairly low temper-
atures are desirable, but may be
difficult to obtain.
The temperature of the house
must of necessity be maintained' at
a point favoring the comfort of
the human rather than the plant
inmates,. It is a conservative state-
ment that -places a winter dwel-
ling house temperature at 70 de -
grew This is much toe high for a
great many plants. It 'is• a good
growing temperature for warmth -
loving plants under conditions of
spring daylight and ample hum-
idity. But the combined effects of
high temperature, comparative
darkness and a dry atmosphere
are not favorable to general plant
health.
Perhaps the reasonable attitude
to take in this respect is to main-
tain a day temperature around 70
degrees with a drop to about 60
degree after retiring. To 'promote
humidity], the • liaual evaporating,
pans on radiators and metal trays
of gravel on wind to ehelves t6
hold the planta will be helpful,
