A Worthwhile Association
Few events during the year hold a
greater interest in the eyes of muni-
cipal officials than the annual con-
vention of the Ontario Good Roads
Association, which is being held in
Toronto oil Tuesday and Wednesday
of next week. There are few muni-
cipal councils that are not represent-
ed at the annual gathering.
For the delegates, the convention
provides an opportunity to see the
latest in road -building equipment,
and to discuss new procedures and
methods with representatives of
other sections of the province. It is
all to the good that advantage be
taken of this opportunity, particu-
larly in view of the major, place that
road expenditures occupy in munici-
pal financing. In all. some four hun-
dred municipalities will be represent-
ed in Toronto. •
Looking back through the years,
it is interesting to review the extent
to which the association. has been re-
sponsible for the modern highway
systems as we know them in Ontario
today.
With the passing of the British
North America Act in 1867, the con-
trol and administration of roads and
highways became the responsibility
of •the Provincial Governments with
power to enact such legislation as -
was. deemed necessary for the im-
provement of provincial roads and
highways. In the next twenty-seven
years no effort Cs i n -lade to assume
the responsibility en the l;rovin-
by (•Cnfc-d rat,-.,, n.l.tt.:2r f}-

`le
of the province on the necessity c '
road Improvement and tins ()i;-
ject in view, they carried on an in-
tensive campaign to influence the
Government to pass necessary legis-
lation. First positive step was the en-
actment in 1901 of The Highway Im-
provement Act.
In the fifty-six years since it's in-
aeeption, the Ontario Good Roads As-
sociation 'has played an increasingly
"important part ill contributing to the
establishment of the highway sys-
tem now in existence in Ontario. It
:has co-operated with and assisted all •"
to carry forward a continuous pro-
gram of road improvement, which
has made Ontario pre-eminent
among the Provinces of the Domin-
ion in Highway improvement leader-
ship.
While good work has been done in
the past, it is realized that greater
,and more important problems re-
twuire future action. In this Province
ring the past year, road construc-
ition and maintainence expenditure
has exceeded over. one hundred mil-
lion dollars. Road transportation has
•adeveloped into a great public utility
!with a capital investment in roads,
ttertninals and road transportation
iequipment amounting to over one
billion, seven hundred million dol -
lairs. • With these facts before us, it
e,inis only too evident that our whole
'cadtransportation system and high-
' •setWup _should receive the clos-
atudy, in platters dealing with
latio'n, adrxiinistration, construe -
traffic control and

would be made in the next fifty years.
Even th9 most optimistic fell far
short* in making an accurate esti-
mate. And that they were so far
wrong, in so many cases is not to be
wondered at when one recalls that
during the first half of the century
an entire new way of life was born
and grew to be an accepted fact. A
life that included automobiles, aero-
planes, telephones, radio and tele-
vision, to mention but a few of the
developments.
Itis only natural that people today
will attempt a glimpse into the world
of 2000, and one of these is Dr. Ger-
ald Wendt, former science director
of the New York World's Fair.
Canadians fifty years from now
will be riding around in spacious cars
powered by rear engines as small as
typewriters, he predicted.
Plane travel will be as cheap as
bus travel today. Interplanetary
rocket travel will be available — for
those who want it. Electronic think-
ing machines will work for people in
a world of high incomes and free
time filled with culture, recreation
and sports, he suggests.
"Another industrial revolution is
in the making," Dr. Wendt said. "Un-
less sidetracked by an atomic or bac-
teriological war, our new world
should be here by the year 2000."
He predicted a 24-hour work week,
a life span of 85 to 90years, and av-
erage incomes of $12,000 yearly.
- Dr. Wendt supported his theory
by calling attention to a factory in
England which "turns out complete
radio sets in a plant devoid of human
workers."
The new world, Dr. Wendt added,
will give us more time for sports, re-
creation, religion and culture.

How True
Members of the Ontario Retail
Hardware Association, meeting in
convention recently; were told that
consistent newspaper advertising
will increase profits. That statement
has, of course, been made many
times, but it is always worth repeat-
ing.
"Newspapeadvertising has prov-
ed time and time again that it can
build sal -es," a speaker told the con
vention during a discussion of paint
sales. Certain Toronto hardware
stores, even Without, good location,
built up high sae; by consist: H,

`•t.:eneraliy :Te;zll,•cing, if ,you use ;yols:.'
large newspapers or local Nveeklie` •
you will have a bigger profit at tl::
end of the ,y'ear, > he said.
But the best thing is, of course,
that the consumer benefits most of
all. For the consistent advertiser
must sell at competitive prices, and
competitive prices are, in almost ev-
ery case, lowest prices.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY:
OUR BROTHER'S KEEPER
(London Free Press)
The increasing problem of the
aged and infirm is again sharply
pointed in a fire which destroyed a
convalescent home for old people in
the Bruce County Village of Luck -
now. In this fire an 88 -year-old man
- lost his life; others lost their posses-
sions and all have rt their place of
residence.
The necessity for specialized at-
tention for those who cannot care
for themselves is perfectly clear; the
best method of providing this is stall
obscure. Pensions are insufficient.
And while more institutions are be-
ing built, and with humane imagina-
tion in design and operation, insti-
tutionalism is not the final answer.
In any case, this program is as yet
too limited. -
While in the case of the Lucknow
fire no blame may attach to anyone,
the privately run boarding, home
should be subject to supervision and`
inspection. And there is opportun-
ity for community interest. Friend-
ly visitors are_ themselves the best
forin of supervision. Personal inter-
est in the welfare of the a;ged, and'in
those -who perform the difficult task
of caring for theme would .be a Chris'.
tian form of community enterprise.
If our brother is old and helpless
a alhe
that e'or his keeper.
"DOCTOR JIM"
The shingle outside hid house
with the weatherbeaten letters on
it reads: James Wellington Henry,
M.D., but the folks all 'call him
Dector Jim. I was his last patient
:ester'day afternoon, and after
•rossing my foot where I slivered
it tiv'ith the tine of the fork,
we sat talking.
"I was up to the city yesterday,
Phil," he smiled as he refilled the
old briar that's generally in his
mouth. "And I've justebeen think-
ing how lucky I was not to stay at
that hospital where they offered
me a job after graduation."
Strange thoughts came into my
mind then. Doctor Jim 'today Is
just another country doctor. His
hair ie turning quite gray, deep
lines have seared his face as a re-
sult of sleepless nights and hard
work and worry. His clothes are
rumpled and baggy and anything
but Stylish. He has little or uo
money and his patients forget about
him after he has cured them. Peo-
ple get a little frantic when he
takes his time in checking_ the
course of their ailments, and they
go over his head and call in a city
specialist. They pay the city man's
fees and forget about Doctor Jim.
His car is just as shabby as his
clothes and yet a man who owes
him three hundred dollars in doc-
tor bilis just bought a new car
last week.
"No, I'm not crazy, Phil," he
laughed at the sight of my appar-
ent wonder and tilted back further
10 the old swivel chair, as' he
swung around from the old roll-top
'leak to face me.
"The doctor who took that job
has a Park Avenue practice now,"
he recollected. "I called ou him
yesterday. He wears suits that cost
:ts much as will keep me in clothes
"or a year, He.has three cars and
n. chauffeur and a wife who has
lust divorced him. He has at
swanky set of offices and a lot of
chronic imbeciles for patients who
think they're sick and pay for his
how. Dat Phil, he's not happy.
He started out to be a great sur-
geon at that 'hospital and today's
hr's wasting his talents for money.
See those hands?".

He operated on a little Irish girl
who has since borne ten sturd
children . .. ten of the township's
finest people. Yes, Doctor Jim
worked with a coal oil lamp and
his operating table was a storm
door on two s'aw-horses ... but he
pulled her •tlhrough.
"I haven't the hands of a great
surgeon," he said softly; "I've had
to crapk'a car too often, on a freez-
ing night. I've harnessed a horse
too often for that! But they have
been pretty fair as average doc-
tor's hands. They helped bring
you into the world and a great

make •the best use 'possible of
them. It seems that as the rest
of me stiffens with age they still
keep supple."
"Have you ever watched the way

tle pink bundle and •soon it's walk-
ing and then it's going to school.

and then it gets married. I've•

be old-fashioned, but it's comfort-

in that swanky office that my
friend has I don't believe 1 would

for his hat and his little black bag
and what more can I say about

Fertilizer Use is Increasing
Canadian farmers ere using con-
siderably more fertilizers than they
did twenty years ago. Sales of
fertilizers for use in Cana reaoh-
ed an all-time record in 1949 of
74L700 tons as compared with
672,200 in the. preceding year, and
660.700 tons in the 1946.17 year.
Sales in 1949 were more than
double the 1940 total of 346,700
tons and more than four times
the sales in 1927 of 170,000 tons.
Through the years there has
been a decided• change in the pro-
portion of sales of materials and
mixtures. The purchase of ready
mixed fertilizers has become much
more popular. In 1927 the sales of
materials represented 62.1 per cent
of total sales, but. by 1949 the figure
had fallen to 17.5 per cent,. Sales
of mixtures which in 1927 repre-
sented only 37.9 per cent of sales,
had risen to 82.5 per cent in 1949.
Be a Jump Ahead With Equipment
Nothing is more of as white
elephant„ than a tractor that will
not go. If the farm tractor wasn't
thoroughly overhauled in the fall,
it is not too early to attend to it
now. Spring has a habit of catch -
ng everyone unaware, and a worn
trt on the tractor can often niean
a few days' .delay when the spring
rush starts,
And other farm machinery and
equipment can well be checked too.
All bearings and other moving
parts should be carefully examined,
and those showing excessive wear
should be renewed. All bolts and
set -screws used in adjustments
should be checked to be sure they
operate. Machines should also be
checked for broken castings. Be-
cause a machine was running well
haft time it was used in the fall,
that's no guarantee it will operate
perfectly first' thing in the spring,
Don't Plant Weed Seeds
Seed drill surveys in Ca.nada
show that many of . the weeds,
which later farmers 'fight by culti-
vihion and chemical weed killers,
are there because they were plant
ed along with the crop. One of
the sitivpiest ways of reducing
weeds on the farm, is not to plant
them. Bat they will be planted
'unless dare is taken to sows only,
geed' that is as free from weed
deeds ae is lltfffialaly possible.
llrtitch of tate seed used Ori Canada
Is still farth grown, and le oleat{edt
tit:' the farttl. It :16 false eeonapy,
not to clean it thoroughly. It
slionld not he a platter for con-
gratulation if the material screen-
ed out is not large. unless there is
assurance that the remaining seed
is clean and as free from weed
seeds tuul other material as pos-
sible. Small seeds in particular,
such as clover, alsike and red clov-
er, are not easily cleaned, and
these seeds are often sown when
they would be classed as "reject-
ed" under the regulations of the
Dominion Seed Act, or at best
would grade only No, 2 or No. 3.
Many progressive farmers prefer
not to sow No, 3 seed.
A simple purity seed test can be
made by spreading about a pound
of seed on a clean surface in a
good light, This should be care-
fully picked over and all foreign
seeds removed, and the general
quality of the seed and the size
of the kernels should be noted.
This test will, give a good, indica-
tion as to whether the seed should
be recleaned. If any noxious weeds
are found, or if there is reasonable
doubt of the purity or quality of
the' seed after recleaning, it is
advisable, -to obtain other seed.
New Varieties Must Be Licensed
Every year a number of farmers
or others seek to introduce new
potato varieties for sale for seed-
ing or planting. in Canada. Many
do not realize that regulations
governing the licensing of new
varieties come under the provi-
sions of the Dominion Seed Act,
1937, which is administered by the
Plant Products Division, Produc-
tion Service, Dominion Department
of Agriculture. All varieties of
potatoes and other 'field crops must
be licensed by the Department of
Agriculture before they can be of-
fered for sale for seeding or plant-
ing purposes in. ,Canada.
Briefly, the regulations are as
follows:
(1) The application for the lie=
ening of a new variety may be
made to the Plant Products Divi.
cion, Dominion Department of.
Agriculture,
(2) The application. must be sup -
minted by experimental o idenoe
