west end of town, as was 1
at a meeting betweenn the Council
and School Board Friday evening,
then the Council was wrong, or at
least shortsighted, in having pro-
ceeded with laying out a housing de-
velopment in that location. It has
been known to the Council for a long
time that ultimately there would be
inquired •a new Public School, and
with this knowledge it would have
seemed desirable that consideration
be given its location.
On the other hand, it may well be
that the Council was sound in its
judgment and that the west -end site,
taking all factors into consideration,
is better suited to housing than to a
school. If this is the case, then it fol-
lows that there is an. alternative site
that can best suit the long-term re-
quirements of the School Board.
It is unfortunate that no action
had been taken to prepare an overall
study of the manner in which best
use could be made of the various
areas in the town. Had there been a
town plan the location of the propos-
ed school already would have been
determined, and the confusion which
appears to exist would have been
avoided. It is not too late even now
to take such action. It might well be
the means of saving wasteful dupli-
cation and costly misuse of lands in
the years to come.
There is always a tendency in
choosing a location for a public build-
ing to select any area that presents
itself, without consideration being
given its relation to the community
as a whole, not only at the moment,
but in the years to come. Because a
particular location for a school offers
the necessary acreage and the drain-
age appear satisfactory, is no indica-
tion that other sites are not better
situated with regard to the pupils
the school is to serve. After all, the
Town of Seaforth itself was nothing
but a black ash swamp a hundred
years ago.
A school that is to be built today
will be expected to serve Seaforth for
many years. It is imperative, there-
fore, that in locating it, full consid-
eration be given every factor that
might • affect its relationship to the
community. Admittedly, no man can
look into the future with full accur-
acy. On the other hand, sufficient
facts are known upon which to base
a considered opinion.
We have no doubt but that the
Board can anticipate the full co-op-
eration of the ratepayers in carrying.
out that proposal which may be prov-
en to be in the best interests of not
only the children, but the citizens
generally, of today and tomorrow.

SEAFORTH, Friday, July 21, 1950
A New Public School?
Public School supporters in Sea -
forth shortly may be faced with the
construction of a new public school.
The matter has been on the agenda
at meetings of the School Board for
many months and preliminary dis-
leussions have reached the stage
?where the Board has informed Cohn -
it proposes to formally ask as to
the availability of a particular site.
There can not be much doubt as to
the desirability of a new school.
The
main portion of the present
ding
is nearly ninety years old, and de-
spite the fact its front elevation is
lire of the more pleasing, from an ap-
pearance standpoint, in Seaforth, it
is in poor mechanical condition. Cer-
tainly a major and costly. renovation
program would not be justified.
Apart altogether from the condition
of the building, however, its capac-
ity has been such that, during recent
years in any event, the accommoda-
tion has not been consistent with
that considered necessary under
present-day educational standards.
Pupils are crowded in classrooms,
and there are not available in the
building those facilities which today
contribute so much to a properly
rounded education.
Certainly it is desirable that there
be a new school, and to prove its ne-
cessity the Board presumably is pre-
pared to indicate after a studyof
the potential pupil population,
t
the present overcrowded condition is
expected to continue for a number of
years. While no figures as yet have
been released the Board will have
available, the number of pupils who
it is anticipated will enter the school
in say each of the next five years.
• There will also have been made a
study of those factors which con-
ceivably could affect the demands for
school accommodation. What, for in-
stance, would be the requirement
from an accommodation standpoint
should one or other of the Seaforth
industries alter its labor require-
ments?
Assuming that these studies have
revealed that in so far as it is for -
seeable, there will continue to be a
requirement for additional pupil ac-
commodation, and that this factor,
added to the known condition of the
existing building, outweighs the lia-
bility of today's construction costs
then there is no doubt but that those
who will be called on to decide, will
agree to authorize a new school. The
design of the building and the facili-
ties that are planned it will contain,
will be the responsibility of the
Board and the Department of Edu-
cation. If the decision is made to
build a new school, it will be the de-
sire of the ratepayers that the build-
ing, when erected, reflect in the full-
est sense every feature that has
been proven to be essential to the
education of today's children. It
will be the desire that the building be
erected in such a fashion that it may
serve the needs of the community as
satisfactorily and over as many
years as has the existing school.
While the decision as to whether
or not a new school is to be erected
tests in the hands of Public School
supporters, the location chosen for
it .concerns every citizen. The site
hichmay be chosen may well deny
citizens generally its use is an -
.other manner which would be. to
:eir greater advantage.
Schools today require large areas.

le beat site in town for a new
;uadol..i that located at the
irst Commoner
(By Peter pempson in The Canadian Liberal)
When the nomination of William
Ross Macdonald as Speaker of the
House of Commons• was proposed
by Prime Minister Louis St.
Laurent at the opening of last
Fall's session, there was nota dis-
senting voice.. Nor was the choice
surprising.
It was a foregone conclusion
that the tall, affable, 68 -year-old
lawyer -member for Brantford City
would get the nod for this import-
ant and highlyihonored post. As
deputy speaker from 1945 until the
dissolution of the 20th Parliament
last April, he had done an out-
standing job. Members of all par-
ties were agreed on this. Thus Mr.
St. Laurent didn't have to search
far to pick an English-speaking
First Commoner to succeed a
French-speaking one—a tradition
in Canada since Confederation.
•Mr. Macdonald naturally was
pleased. It was a high tribute to
a roan whose sole interest in en-
tering political life was that he
believed he could make a worth-
while contribution to his home
constituency, and, to the Canadian
nation as a whole.
As Liberal member for Brant-
ford City since 1935, and later as
deputy speaker, his motto had
been: Do the best you can to
help those with a legitimate griev-
ance or request, regardless of
political affiliation. His first reac-
tion when Prime Minister St. Lau-
rent asked him taebecome Speaker
was to recall that motto. Then he
said: "I°ll give it everything I've
got."
Always a believer in fair play,
Ross Macdonald .when a ,back
bencher frequently rose in the
Commons and battled for what on
occasion appeared to be a lost
cause. The fact that he some-
times opposed the government of
which he was a follower didn't de-
ter him. The people of Brantford
liked him for it. They re-elected
him with an increasing, majority
at each election.
As deputy speaker he was pre-
cluded from frequent speeches in
the House. However, his decisions
as well as his ability to guide de-
bating made him stand out. As
First 'Commoner, his speech -mak-
ing days are over. He must act as
an arbiter at all times. He realiz-
es that to continue the fair-mind-
edness that has characterized his
life, he must view the proceedings
of Parliament from a neutral
standpoint.
Yet Ross Macdonald knows, too,
that he cannot "please all the peo-
ple all the time." Already his rul-
ings .have been challenged several
times, just as they were when he
was deputy speaker. But the Com-
mons has sustained him each time.
Opposition members, albhough " dif-
fering with the ruling, have never
complained of bias. They have al-
ways- respected his impartiality.
Typical of the incidents upon
which Mr. Macdonald's reputation
for impartiality has been estab-
lished, was a .tense moment that
cropped up in the last session. Op-
position leader George Drew open-
ed a discussion on the new -cele-
brated McGregor . report on the
floilr-milling industry. This was
challenged by the government side
on the basis that the. "combine"
issue had been closed in previous
debate. Prime Minister St. Lau-
rent himself angrily contended
that the Opposition leader was out
of order in •breaching the subject.
Tempers flared. Tones on par-
liamentary procedure were roduc-
ed to support contentions for and
against a debate on the topic. Af-
ter hearing all representations, Mr.
Macdonald rose to deliver his de-
cision.
An audible gasp went through
the Commons as the Speaker ruled
that Mr. Drew was quite in order
and that he could continue, Gov-
ernment supporters made no at-
tempt to conceal their chagrin.
The surprise was occasioned by
the fact that the "combines" case
was an embarrassing one .for the
government and that Mr. Macdon-
ald, himself a Liberal, might have
been expected to temper his jus-
SIF
E.'$ law=
tice with Liberalism. From that
day on, the Opposition had a new
regard for the impartiality of "Mr.
Speaker."
As slender Ross Macdonald looks
back on his lengthy political car-
eer which began about 1919, fol-
lowing the rebirth of the Liberal
party under the leadership of W.
L. Mackenzie King, the Toronto -
born member recalls that his first
direct contact with politics came
when he was a youngster in. Ham-
ilton. His father, a merchant, had
moved the family of two girls and
four boys to the industrial city on
the west end of Lake Ontario when
Ross was still in public school.
It was election time and Mrs.
Macdonald packed a lunch, told
Ross to take it to his father who
was outside scrutineer for the Lib-
eral candidate. The steady stream
in and out of the polling booths
fascinated the boy. He asked his
father innumerable questions about
the reason for it all.
"I secretly told myself that some
day I would carry this interest in-
to actual practice," he smiles.
"Time has proved that I have done
just that."
Of Scottish - English ancestry,
Ross Macdonald attended Brantford
Collegiate Institute and later en-
rolled at the University o
Toron-
to to study for the Presbyterian
ministry. But, like so many of his
generation, his plans were inter-
rupted by the First Great War.
Germany had no sooner thrown its
might across Belgium than Ross
enlisted. He was then in his early
twenties.
He didn't bother applying for a
commission, for he wanted to get
overseas as quickly as possible.
There would be no delay if he re-
mained a private, he reasoned. As
a member of the Second Cycle
Corps, commanded by Colonel T.
L. Kennedy, who was recently Pre-
mier of Ontario, he got his wish,
sooner than he expected. In France
he was transferred to the "Mad"
Fourth Battalion.
"Why it was called the 'Mad
Fourth,' I don't know," he laughs.
"But most units in that war had
to carry a special name. There
was the 8th Battalion which was
known as the 'Black Devils'."
After serving for 15 months as
a non-commissioned officer, he was
promoted to lieutenant. Seriously
wounded in the historic Battle of
the Somme in 1916, he was invalid-
ed home with second degree burns.
Little hope was held out for his re-
covery. • But, doughty fighter that
he has been, he pulled through.
Shortly afterwards Ross Mac-
donald went to Osgoode Hall to
study law. After graduation in 1919
he was articled to the well-known
firm of Slaght and Agar in Sim-
coe. Within a few months Agar
left. Arthur Slaght, the other
partner, spent practically all his
time attending to business in Tor-
ronto. Tlius Macdonald, still
young in years and experience,
found himself plunged overnight
into the role of acting crown at-
torney and in charge of the prac-
tice.
"I learned a lot of law there
from actual experience," he laughs.
"But it was certainly worth it, ev-
en though it kept me busy day and
night."
It was about that time he began
taking a keen interest in the Lib-
eral party. A life-long Liberal, he
had been content to remain in the
background until be had complet-
ed his studies. Some years before
that—in 1911, to be exact—he had
spoken at a meeting in Manitoulin
Island on behalf of the Liberal can-
d'date. It was during the reciproc-
y campaign of Sir Wilfrid Laur-
ier. Ross was only 20 at the time.
With the advent of Mackenzie
King as leader—a man who great-
ly interested young Macdonald—
the fledgling lawyer thought it was
time to do more than take a pass-
ing interest in politics. He hadn't
attended the National Liberal Con-
vention in Ottawa on August 7th,
1919, which selected Mr. King as
the successor to the late Mr. Laur-

Farming Is Business
Gone are the days when a farm
was a self-contained establishment.
The days when a farmer by trading
either his labor or the goods he pro-
duced, w'as able to carry on indefin-
itely. The farmer today must oper-
ate on a cash basis in the same man-
ner as any other business.
That was the point made the other
day by W. A. Jenkins, farm manage-
ment expert for the Nova Scotia De-
partment of Agriculture, according
to the Halifax Chronicle -Herald. He
was making it before veterans who
have taken up land, but much of
what he said Would apply, it seems,
to all farmers.
"There was a time, not so far back
at that, when the farm was almost
self-sustaining," the Chronicle -Her-
ald says. "The farmer raised enough
grain for his animals and his house-
hold, paying for the milling out of
the crop. He had a flock of sheep
which supplied meat and wool, a
flock of hens, a few cows, a couple of
horses, all of which lived off the land.
Road taxes were paid by statute lab-
or; cash came from the sale of a few
surpluses, plus lumbering in winter,
hut most necessities and the few lux-
uries were obtained, for the most
part, by barter. Labor was provid-
ed by the sons in big families — and
most families seemed to big.
"Today living is better, different,
and in some ways easier. Electricity
and gasoline have replaced man -pow-
er and the horse to a large extent,
but neither is produced on the land.
They call for cash. As do taxes. The
mills have gone from the neighbor-
hood and the farmer has to buy his
flour. So it is with many things, in-
cluding labor which now works a
regular day at regular 'ages."
Have a pastime and have
health;
Hobbies give life flavour.
Happiness means more than
wealth;
Play as well as labour.

Montrealhospital after suffering a
heart attack. He was 71. He retir-
ed last May after managing a drug
store in Clinton for 45 years. He
was a member of council in 1909,
returned in 1931 and was elected
mayor for three years. He served
for a time on the public school
board and was chairman of the
building committee when the
school building was remodeled in
1920. Final tributes were paid
Monday afternoon to the well-

Considerable press space has
been devoted to the Dairy Farm-

funds to be used in an advertising
campaign throughout the coming
year, according to Gordon M.
Greig, in his weekly Federation
news.
The contribution of each indi-
vidual farmer may have been small
but when added together the gross
amount placed the Dairy Farmers
among the five largest advertisers
in the Dominion of Canada. So
attractive were the possibilities of
this program developing into a
very worth while business that 16
advertising agencies in Canada are
striving for the job of conducting
the campaign for the coming year.
There is a need to increase our
consumption of milk on the home
market by 41/Z pints per family per
month, eat eight ounces of butter
per family more and more cheese
and concentrated milk. This would
eliminate the small surplus that
causes so much worry to our pros
ducers. If each family spent one
dollar per month more on good
wholesome dairy products• such as
milk, cheese, butter, etc., the entire
surplua that bunds up In a period
of high production would vanish.
According to a press release
from the Dairy Farmers of Canada
sent out on July 13, our advertis-
ing campaign has juet been start-
ed In, the nick of time. According
to Mr. Gilbert McMillan, the presi-
dent of the Dairy Farmers of Can-
ada, who has just returned from
Great -Britain and Western Europe,
we will find no markets for our
surplus deity products over there.
Britain has now reached the point
in production where she has over
five million gallons of milk surplus
over fluid requirements. Because of
this lack of export market we must
strive to increase our home cam-
paign.
