`Personal' l,Jeivs "
We have been approached on many
occasions by people who ask us why
Iso many weekly papers publish so-
called "small time items." Such
things as "Mrs. So -and -So was visit-
ing her mother." "What news is
there in such a story?" they ask.
One of the best answers we have
keen is that contained in a recent is -
Sue of the Port Credit weekly, when
it says:
"When readers of weekly news-
papers scan the news columns of
their local papers they find many
O,rticles which appear to have no
worth -while function except to in-
form them somebody they do not
know has done something they did
not know about. They do, too, find
ether news that hits closer to home
+—a friend has been married, a school
+,chum promoted. Here lies the secret
Of the type of news that is col-
loquially referred to as the person-
al.' The secret is simply that these
personals tell them what people in
: ?their community are doing and plan-
ning. It is important this aspect of
news remain the nucleus of the
weekly paper because when people
lose interest in their own community
they become overly interested and
finally hypnotized by the atom bomb,
communism, and the Chinese war.
"The practice of publishing per-
sonals will probably go on as long as
there are weekly papers. It was, in
fact, this practice that fostered the
present-day paper. In the 17th and
18th centuries, newsletters, which
were simply long letters, conveying
local news were sent to friensls in
other communities and countrles.
!Out of this custom grew the modern
publications of today. Out of this
same custom will grow the great
publications of tomorrow.
', "To support personalized local
news is not to condemn foreign and
major local news. No weekly news-
paper can gain success without the
proper assessment of news and with-
out an even distribution of personals
and major news. By the same token
no person should limit the scope of
their news -seeking to their weekly
paper. A proper balance of local and
foreign news is essential to any-
body's news diet. But one without
the other produces limited and ignor-
ant viewpoints.
"Old newspapermen define the
word `news' as being derived from
'North, East, West, South,' which is.
!supposed to indicate the borders of
information. Make sure your `N.E.
;W.S.'includes your community as -
;well as the communities of others,"

.District Byways
This is the time of year when
families enjoy piling into the family
car and going for a drive at every
opportunity. Unfortunately, how-
ever, too frequently little thought is
given the route, with the result the
(driver heads for the nearest paved
road. By doing so, not only is some
of the best scenery in the district
ever enjoyed, but the family re-
rns home after contending with
owded , highways, speeding cars
lid ' dense traffic, more tired than
Then it started out.
Leading from the paved roads are
tintless district roads along which
(e may take ones time and really
.joy a drive. The Ontario Road
tin, in a recent issue, points out
fadages when it says: •
ii network of Modern:
highways that interlace Ontario, like
the smaller branches of a tree, short,
little -travelled local roads, or by-
ways, lead to the secluded beauty
spots of the Province that Nature
withholds from all but the most per-
sistent seeker.
"These are roads 0 yesterday,
leading seemingly where, and
bearing little resemb nce to the
modern paved thoroug fares of two,
or more, lanes that link the towns
and cities, the farms, mines and sum-
mer playgrounds, and over which
pass endless 'streams of motor traffic
with a minimum of delay—roads of
a day when time was not all-import-
ant, and leisure could be enjoyed.
"These are the devious paths that
lead you most directly to the soul of
the country. They have no pattern;
never do you find two alike. This
one winds down to a little cove along
the lakeshore with its miniature
sandy beach—your private beach for
the moment. The next leads upward
to the crest of a rocky wind-swept
plateau from where you may watch
the glorious sunset of a summer's
evening. A third takes you to the
site of an old stone grist mill, a for
lorn landmark of the commerce of
an earlier day. Another brings you
to the bank of a tiny sparkling
stream in which you just know fish
lurk. And yet another ends abruptly
in the shade of a thickly -wooded dell.
Many afford a restful drive through
an avenue of trees; all have the
charm of providing the unexpected.
"They are the roads we knew in
our youth, in the days before the 'ad-
vent of the motor car. The same
narrow dirt surfaces we trudged
along barefoot, winding around, and
over, natural obstacles, bounded here
and there by rail and uprooted stump
fences erected by our grandfathers.
"Their quiet charm as driveways
will never fade. We invite you to
travel the byways of Ontario."
What Other Papers Say:
Different in Practice
(Port Elgin Times)
' Socialism in theory always sounds
attractive until you try to put it in-
to practice. The C.C.F. Government
in Saskatchewan is having trouble
with its electrical workers in the
Government - owned power enter-
prise. The union wants more money
and the Government reminds them
that their incomes comes "from
farmers and wheat." One of the
ministers reminds the workers that
the price of wheat is down and wage
increases are out of the question at
the present time. The cold fact that
wages must bear some relation to
economic conditions will be embar-
rassing to Mr. Coldwell and Mr. Jol-
liffe who are continually telling labor
that wages should never be pegged
to living costs.

Gooseberry Bush?
(Peterborough Examiner)
Foolish people, seeking to conceal
the facts of birth from enquiring
children, sometimes tell them that
they were found under a gooseberry
bush; there are people who would
like to tell the children of Canada the
same thing about their country.
The Canadian flag controversy,
though Parliament has smothered it
for the present, continues to exercise
a few people everywhere in the,coun-
try. The Alberta Liberal Association
last week passed a resolution asking
for a national flag "free from the
national flag or emblem of any other
nation."
We consider such an attitude silly.
And we do not imagine that any Can-
adian government will make official
a flag which does not make it plain
that this country is a part of the
British Commonwealth, the oldest
and most workable league of nations
in the world.
Canada is now a nation, standing
'firmly on its own feet. It is still suf-
fering frons a slight dizziness, how-
ever. Real Canadianism is not ex-
pressed in these barbarous yawps
and boasts of virgin birth, We have
no reason to be ashamed of .our an-
cestry, and we should behave shame-
fully if we denied iL
Ingenious Thief Doesn't
Mind Size of Loot
('By Rodlow Willard,' condensed from Ethyl News)
Police are familiar with the
work of robbers Who specialize in
stealing payrolls, priceless jewels,
valuable works of art and the like.
But there are other kinds of burg-
lars — those who made off with
such varied and extraordinary fix-
tures as highway bridges, park sta-
tues, yo-yo tops, and dirty diapers.
The mere fact that a certain
article is nailed down or cemented
in place is no guarantee that it is
safe, as one Chicago !contractor
can attest. His workmen 'had com-
pleted three storeys of a steel
framework structure when a group
of moonlight requisitioners moved
in and actually removed one storey
of the construction. The crew's
pretended to be working on the
night shift and calmly proceeded to
take the building apart.
In another big city, a complete
house was stolen. All the f rni-
lure—and even the windows and
bricks—was removed. Nothing was
left but the foundation. A San
Fernando Valleythief did much
the same with a three-room house,,
How do you steal a house? Simple!
Jack it up, put it on a heavy-duty
trailer, and nonchalantly drive
away.
As bulky as they are, houses are
only "flyweights" compared to oth-
er unusual things that are swiped.
Near Steubenville, Ohio, for exam-
ple, a mile of track was Literally
"lifted', from a railroad spur line.
Looters ripped up the rails, cut
them into small lengths, and then
sold them as junk.
'Telephone poles have been
known to vanish into the night,
and even high-tension lines carry-
ing a stinging 10,000 volts have not
been spared. In a southwestern
state several years ago, a wooden
bridge almost completely vanished
overnight. The bridge 'timbers
were found months later in a barn
frame. A 100 -foot steel bridge in
a remote section of Alabama met
somewhat the same fate. It disap-
peared one night and wound up
weeks later in the junk yards. The
bridge which would have cost $25,-
000 to • replace, was sold for $149
by the two men who stole and dis-
mantled it.
In Chicago, back in 1941, three
thieves mounted a catwalk beneath
a section of the Outer Drive
Bridge and sweated for mere than
mom's BSA
an ,hour to remove 1,300 pounds of
lead counterweights. Each coun-
terweight weighed 50 pounds and
was fixed to the bridge by two
bolts.
. Highways departments constant-
ly have to worry about joy -riding
thieves who take maintenance
equipment. No one knows what
he wanted it for, (bat a crook with
big ideas took a road -grader, com-
plete with 12 -foot blade, when it
was left unguarded near Vancou-
ver, Wash. In Salem, Ore., a five -
ton gas roller used in paving work
vanished. Not to be outdone, a
Chicopee, Mass., thief romped off
with a seven -ton bulldozer, a
Miami culprit scrammed with. a 10 -
ton steam roller, and someone in
New Jersey made off with a ma-
chine that paints the centre line
on highways. But, without ques-
tion, the prize for the most useless
theft in this category goes to the
chap who swiped a fully loaded
garbage ,truck:
A number of these unusual burg-
lars show an amazing amount of
brazenness and understanding of
human gullibility: Even broad day-
light and watchful eyes do not de-
ter them. Too, they're apt to turn
up disguised as carpenters, jani-
tors, or almost anybody.
In Kansas City, for instance, two
slickers, posing as furnace repair-
men, were admitted to the base•
ment of a home where they immed-
iately dismantled the heating plant
and removed it by truck. Another
thief with 'plenty of self-assurance
stole $500 worth of gold Ieaf from
the steeple of a Massachusetts
church. He ,passed himself off as
a repair man to the church com-
mittee, and then substitutedcheap
gold paint for the gold leaf on the
steeple.
Even i arking meters are not too
much for these brash thieves to
pilfer. ,Police caught one thief in
the act, as he marched through the
town streets with the uprooted
parking meter slung over his shoul-
der.
Demonstrating further the ex-
tremes that crooks will go to, In the recent list of appoint -
someone stole nine burglar alarms ments of the University of Toron,-
from a New Jersey salesman's car. to is that of F. Lorne Hutchison,
Other thieves broke into a show- of this town, who 'becomes comp -

a few floor samples. Still another ies for next year.

Constructive Breeding Of Cattle
In the early days of the develop-
ment of our present beef breeds,
performance of individual animals
was the basis for deciding which
animals would be saved for breed-
ing. But there have been many
periods when the majority of
breeders were interested mainly in
catering to the whims and fancies
of the show ring in type, fancy
points, and other non -utilitarian
characteristics of beef cattle.
At the present there is a swing
away from "fancy cattle' 'to a per-
iod of constructive breeding. The
commercial producer is becoming
increasingly aware that a certain
shape of horn or a certain shade
of color does not add to the mar-
ket value of a steer. He is watch-
ing his own herd and the herds of
others for animals which. meet the
practical requirements of rapid
growth and economical gains, and
yield carcasses of a type that satis-
fies market edmands.
The development and evaluation
of methods of performance testing
of beef cattle is primarily in the
hands of research institutions.
Some private breeders in the U, S.
'A. are now starting to test their
beef cattle herds along perform-
ance lines. • Performance records
are used as a guide to value in
dairy cattle sales; why not in beef
cattle sales? Briefly, the perform-
ance testing and selection methods
being used by research institutions
and constructive breeders are as
follows, says F. K. Kristpausson,
of the Animal Husbandry Division,
Central Experimental Farm, Ot-
tawa.
Ali females that do not produce
enough milk for the satisfactory
development of a calf are culled.
Ail young stock is raised under the
same conditions. A feeding test in
which all animals are fed out to
market weight is usually carried
out. A careful record is kept of
the weights of all animals at birth,
weaning, the beginning of the feed-
ing test, and at the end of the
feeding test. Animals are weaned
at a standard age or weight, which-
ever is most practical under the
existing conditions.
The feeding period usually starts
and ends at a standard weight or
age. Each animal is rated for con-
formation at weaning and at the
end of the feeding period. On some
establishments all animals are in-
dividually fed and a record is kept
of the amount of feed that each
animal consumes.
The decision of which animals
to keep for breeding is"based on
the information gathered. Those
that gain the fastest on the least
amount of feed, and are of the de-
sired conformation are saved for
breeding and the remainder are
sold on the market.
Recent studies in the United
States have shown that young
bulls may be put on a feeding test
in the same way as heifers and
steers and the results of the test
can be used in deciding whether
or pot to keep the bull for breed-
ing purposes. This makes earlier
and more accurate selection 'of
beef bulls possible.
It Is only through an adequate
system of testing and selection
that the can hope to make con-
tizttted ilnprovginents in our beef
cattle, concludes Mr. Kristjansson.
Those that follow a sound system
of testing and selection are the
ones that will contribute most to
the improvement of beef cattle.
Crop Rotations
The establishment of a farm
plan and a systematic crop rota-
tion is the fundamental procedure
followed on Illustration Station
farms in Eastern Canada. Such a
plan allows for the progressive de-
velopment of soil improvement
practices over the entire tillable
acreage of the farm. The rotation
adopted depends on the type of
farming, the adaptation of grass-
es and legumes, the proportion of
cash crops desired, weed infesta-
tion, soil type and the area of
available crop iand. Crop rotation
allows • for the proper balance of
crop production, simplified man-
agement, regularity in weed con-
trol programmes, more orderly ap-
pearance of the farm and greater
crop yields.
Each Illustration Station farm is
organized on the basis of a crop
rotation which provides a proper Mr. Andrew Ingram, who has

Cars Destroyed in Monday Fire
The Wingham lire brigade had

on Wednesday night. These are:
Agricultural Park, property of
Councillor J. H. Graham at corner
of South and Bennett Sts., and pro-
perty of Stan Snider, corner of'
Bayfield Road and Bennett Street.
Shore and Moffat of Toronto were'
