National Newspaper Week
National Newspaper Week is be-
ing observed by newspapers, large
and small, during the first week in
October. The event provides an op-
portunity to recall the place of the
modern newspaper in the commun-
ity, and the extent to which its in-
terests and those of the community
are interwoven.
Publishers of a country weekly
must approach their task from three
angles. They must include each
week an. interesting and conscien-
tious review of the activities of the
district they serve. If they didn't,
they wouldn't be able to sell their
paper. They must remember their
advertisers and strive to publish a
paper which will assist in the com-
mercial growth of every business
which uses newspaper advertising.
And, finally, they must continually
bear in mind the interests of the com-
munity at large—not only those of
the town in which their plant is lo-
cated—but the entire community
which it serves. For after all the
health of each element in the com-
munity is vital, not only to the news-
paper, but also in ensuring' the long
term benefits of each of the citizens
forming the community.
No publisher can assume his re-
sponsibilities alone. He must have
the co-operation of a loyal and in-
formed staff, who accept their 're-
sponsibilities as citizens. He must
have the co-operation of those who
use the columns of his paper as ad-
vertisers, to the mutual advantage of
themselves and the publisher. And
he requires, too; the assistance of
those correspondents, representative
of each of the districts in the com-
munity which the paper serves, and
who provide much of the interesting
items of news e ch wee -
When all the ch
work in
harmony, the result can not be other
than of benefit to the community.

Endorses Decentralization
At its recent annual meeting held
in Banff, Alberta, the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce adopted a
resolution which pointed out that
industries would find that towns
and smaller communities a r e
good places in which to settle.
The resolution went on to state that
there was a trend towards decen-
tralization of industry caused by the
increased efficiency and improved
public and human relations which
are possible in the smaller commun-
ity. Decentralization is desirable too,
from a defence and strategic view-
point, according to the Chamber's
resolution.
That Business officially has re-
cognized the advantages industrially
of the small town, will be good news
to communities across Canada. For
years, small centres have striven to
attract responsible enterprises with-
in their boundaries. Some have been
successful, but in the vast majority
of cases when the decision concern-
ing the location of a new plant is
arrived at, it is the city that gets the
business. Frequently in the past the
industry that has selected a small
town is one ,,that has not proven it-
ie1f, or one which has received cer-
tain concessions. In either case, too
often the municipality has been the
lager in the long run.
it is to be hoped, now that ail of -
Mal stamp of approval has been
11aeed on decentralization by the
'.a'nadian Chamber of Commerce,

the recommendation of the Cham-

smaller communities to commence
promoting sound industrial growth.
They will examine the industrial
facilities which their towns afford.
They will prepare and publish facts
on available sites, sources of power,
transportation facilities, labor con-
ditions, markets, and housing. If
such information is accurate and
complete, it could well assist particu-
lar firms in determining whether it
is to their advantage to enter the
community_

Fire Prevention Week
For more than twenty-five years
Fire Prevention Week in Canada has
became an accepted tradition and is
officially designated by a Proclama-
tion of the Governor-General. This
year it will be during the week of
October 8-14.
The purpose of having such a week
is very plain. It is to call attention
and to try and impress upon the
minds of the public the devastating
toll of life and property taken by
fire each year, and to urge that ev-
ery precaution be taken to reduce
the tremendous losses suffered by
this country.
Every year in Canada hundreds of
lives are lost and property damage
amounting to many millions of dol-
lars is occasioned by fire. Each year
the toll in lives and in dollars seems
to grow worse. These figures, and
many others which are shown in the
statistical report of fire losses, indi-
cate conclusively that the people of
Canada are making a decided pro-
gress in reverse in so far as fire pre-
vention is- concerned.
What can be done to correct this
condition? There are many things.
One of them is publicity. That is
why we will read and hear much
next week about the prevention of
fires. Of course, it is an old story.
How often have we been told to be
careful in our smoking habits? How
many times have we been told about
the necessity of keeping heating ap-
pliances in good condition and' at a
safe distance from combustible ma-
terial? Can we even count the num-
ber of times we have been warned
against the use of gasoline for clean-
ing clothes in our homes, or using
coal oil for starting fires?
Questions lire these could go on
indefinitely, but the evidence that we
continue to carry on in the same old
way is shown by the number of fires
reported in Canada each year.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
safety. Consequently, not only next
week, but for the next 52 weeks, ev-
ery 'Canadian citizen should resolve
to pay heed to the warnings that will
be sounded next week.
What Other Papers Say:
Should Never Be Cleared
(The Elora Express)
Driving along the highways one
may see at very close intervals, land
which never should have been clear-
ed. Once in a while there is evidence
that far-sighted farmers and others
have realized this. Once in a while
you will find new plantings, little
trees around old water holes and
plantations on fields which were ob-
viously meant for trees, not grain.
But only once in a while. For the
most part these wrongly cleared
fields are just sitting there doing
nothing, some of them still under
water and all of them unproductive
of a thing of vital use.

Remember the Farmers
(The Waterloo Chronicle)
Remember the farmers. They are
too powerful to accept a redivisim
of the national income at their ex-
pense: They will either reduce pro-
duction, by turning to other occupa-
tions, or they will use their political
and other power to get higher prices
for their products. In the end larger
old age pensions for anyone else, and
no old age pensions for farmers,
might easily end in a condition in
which the price of food went up so
high that the increased old age pen-
sions would buy no more food than
at present. The real question is
whether the cake is big enough to
permit a bigger slice being taken out
by any group, without�yother groups
finding that'their 'i lives are out.dtn'ii

Doors atBrockv lleTunriel
(By Graham McInnes in Canadian Railway Employees' Monthly)
With a great shriek the train
rushes into the tunnel. The kids
who've been standing at the win-
dow leap back as if they'd been
hit. The newsy bumps into the
knees of a couple making love on
the back seat. The landscape van-
ishes and your world becomes a
rumbling windowless corridor of
close packed gloom. Then presto
—you're out aagin, with smoke and
steam still swirling past the win-
dows. Perhaps you'ive burrowed
10,000 feet under a great mountain
or bored under a knuckle of Laur-
entian rock, or maybe you've just
passed beneath fifty city blocks of
busy traffic.
But whichever it is, you must
admit that there's a thrill about
a tunnel.
Canada has a good many tun-
nels and some of them are world
famous, but the trouble is that
almost nine -tenths of them are
west of the Great Divide. If
you live between Banff or Jasper
and the Lake of the Woods, you'll
never see a tunnel. If you live
east of Campbellton, N.B., it's the
same thing. Canada for its size
and its enormous railroad mileage
has comparatively few tunnels, ev-
en if what she has are spectacu-
lar.
Canada has a lot of trackage
for very few people, and second,
much of Canada consists of moun-
tains and very tough rock. These
two things add up to a high cost
per mile of railroad construction.
Tunnelling's a costly business and
if you can go around or over an
obstruction rather than through it,
you usually do.
The longest tunnel in Canada is
the Connaught Tunnel which runs
for five' miles dead straight but
not dead level and carries the
main lige of the Canadian Pacific
under the Selkirk Range in British
Columbia. How the C.P. ever found
its way through the mouutains of-
ten seems baffling when you ride
the transcontinental yourself.
As a matter of fact, steel was
already creeping down the west-
ern slope of the Great Divide be-
fore Col. Rogers, the Canadian
Pacific surveyor, discovered the
path through the Selkirks that
still bears his name. The railroad
first negotiated that pass by a'21/2
per cent gradient without a tun-
nel. And today as you climb slow-
ly up the valley of the Illecillewaet
from Revelstoke to Glacier, you
can see the old line far up on the
mountainside like a huge grey
scar among the rocks and .pines
In 1914 the C.P.R. decided to
shorten the route, ease the gra-
dient and cut down expense, and
they drove the Connaught straight
through , the Selkirks. It takes
about 20 minutes to traverse the
tunnel and trains are run on the
left hand track to ensure a clear
view for the engineer.
The second tunnel' in Canada.
curiously enough, isn't in the West
EU' ft T
the word. Instead of passing be-
neath Himalayan crags it burrows
under the roaring traffic and
tramping feet of a netlike—and a
quarter people. Yes, under Mont-
real. The tunnel goes from the
Canadian National's Central Sta-
tion right under the city to em-.
erge at Portal Heights on• the rear-
ward slope of Mount Royal, over 3
miles further north.
The tunnel was originally built
to carry the old Canadian North-
ern's main line from Montreal to
Ottawa and west; but with amal-
gamation into the C.N-R., the tun-
nel has become to be used chiefly
for commuter traffic to and from
communities on Montreal's back
river. Traction Is electric, and as
the tunnel is straight for almost
the whole of its length, you can, if
you like, stand at the rear of the
,train and watch the north portal
dwindle to a mere speck of light
in the roaring darkness.
•Canada's; third tunnel is also un-
der a city—the city of Quebec. The
C.P.R. drove it right under the
Plains of Abraham for a little over
a mile to emerge at Wolfe's Cove,
where the big trans-Atlantic steam-
ers used to berth. Hamilton is sn-
it does not go under the moun-
tain. It burrows beneath a hump
in the city's down -town section—
on the Toronto, Hamilton and Buf-
falo R.R.—and comes out at a very
pleasantly designed station — a
good clean mass of steel and cem-
ent and glass. It's about a third
of a mile long.
There's a tunnel under the city
of Brockville, Ont., too, though not
many people know about it, be-
cause it's on a little used spur on
the C.P.R. running from the water-
front on the St. Lawrence and
back under the steep bill on which
Brockville stands, to join the C.
P.R. line from Ottawa and Smiths
Falls. It has the distinction of
being the oldest tunnel in Canada,
having been built for the old
Brockville and Ottawa Railway
Company in 1853-59 and opened for
traffic in 1860.
It's just under a third of a mile
long and is the only tunnel in
Canada—and perhaps in the world
—which has •b.arn doors on each
end, closed nightly during periods
of severe weather. But you can
open these doors—if you're a real
enthusiast—and walk through, lis-
tening to your ghostly footfalls on
the ties, and smelling the harsh
metallic smell of generations of
smoke and soot.
The rest of our tunnels are not-
ed less fors -their length or their
oddity than for their frequency.
By far the bulk of them lie, as you
would expect, id British Columbia,
about equally divided between the
two main systems: 42 on the C.N.
R. and 48 on the C.P.R. Most of
them are less than 1,000 feet long
and one is only 90 feet—perhaps
the shortest on record. However,
there's one close to 3,000 feet long
on the C.N.R, between Red Pass
at all. In fact it's not even under Junction and Kamloops in the val-
a mountain in. the proper sense of ley of the Thompson.

During the busy summer months
activities in Huron County Feder-
ation of Agriculture take a back
seat while everyone is primarily
interested in haying and harvest-
ing operations. This year the
weatherman has prolonged the
harvesting, to suoh an yxtent that
It is still impossible to expect a
good attendance at a farmers'
gathering unless it is a wet day.
On Tuesday night, Sept. 19, the
directors of Huron County Federa-
tion of Agriculture held their Sep-
tember meeting with a surprising-
ly good attendance. Several reso-
lutions were on the agenda and
were thoroughly discussed. Most
important among these were the
resolution on feed grains and one
on income tax deductions for
money spent on tile drains,
A tentative date for the annual
meeting was set for Thursday, No-
vember 23, the business meeting
to be held in Clinton and the ban-
quet and dance in Seaforth at
night.
President Charles Coulter and
Mir. Leslie Fortune went to a
meeting in Toronto on Thursday,
Sept. 21, at which a thorough dis-
cussion of taxation problems • took
place, One branch of this discus-
sion is of great interest to farm
people in Huron County. For the
past few years it. has been felt by
rural people that they are paying
more than their share of the cost
of maintaining high school areas.
It is to be hoped that some action
will be taken by the Provincial
Government to see that this is
thoroughly investigated and proper
adjustments made.
The Canadian Federation of Ag-
riculture is asking that the Board
of Transport Commissioners will
not grant any proposed increase in
railway freight rates for livestock
shipments until sue i'-, time as a
full hearing can be ."•ld on the
matt4'r.
It is the opinion of the majority
of people who have considered the
question of price controls that if
the international situation does not
improve very soon we are going
to be faced with another period, of
Government controls.
The Federation of Agriculture
has urged the Government to set
ujr a committee to make a thor-
ough study of the economic bal-
ance as exists the various groups
in the national economy sa that
*hen controls are Impdsetd, thick
WI11 he 011 the most er1tiitdble paS10,
1
possible. This would eliminate a
trial and error period that made
controls so unpopular in 1941.
The feed grain issue is still a
very live topic, We find the Cana-
dian Federation of Agriculture at
their semi-annual meeting held
from Sept. 12 to 13, setting forth
a suggested plan where a central
purchasing agency would be estab-
lished in Eastern Canada to se-
cure bulk purchases of feed grains
from fhe Wheat Board on behalf
of Eastern Canadian feeders.
This plan is to be further in-
vestigated. If we can continue to
keep this feed grain problem a
live issue, I am certain some rea-
sonable solution can be found to
lower the cost of feed to the''East-'
ern Canadian feeder.

Thd Cream Producers' organiza-
tion of Huron County is out to try
and complete the margarine sur-
vey they started last summer. So
far only a'Bout three per cent of
the farm people who have reported
in the survey are using a substi-
tute for butter.
Thanks to a member of the
Cream Committee we have in our
office at Clinton a copy of the
Submission by the Dairy Farmers
of Canada on the dairy situation
as presented to the meeting of
Provincial Ministers of Agriculture
in Toronto on August 28.
This is a 14 -page report and
would make very interesting read-
ing for anyone that thinks the
scale of margarine is not destroy-
ing the dairy industry in Canada.
Domestic consumption of butter is
down considerably and so is pro-
duction. The report voices the
opinion that there may be a scarc-
ity of fluid milk in large cities this
winter.

Bay Airport, where it took off for
Tucson, Arizona. All nineteen oc-
cupants were safe. Vie Daks left
Centralia shortly after dawn Sun-
day and went directly into the
search area. They were detailed e
to search a 35 -mile wide strip ex-
tending from the international bor-
der in Lake Superior to 100 .miles
east of James Bay. The 23,500'
square miles 'was thought to con-

'Dodo' Hoffman Dies Suddenly'
Clayton "Dodo" Hoffman, 52, a'
former member of the famous Exe-

died Monday night in Galt from a
heart attack. He and his twin broth-
er, Clare, and Babe Siebert were
stars of one of the best hockey
teams ever produced in this dis-
1 trict. They played at a time when
the popularity of hockey was at
its (height around here. A native
of Zurich, Mr. Hoffman went to
Galt in 1923 with his brother,.
Clare, to play -baseball and hockey.
Active in athletics and then as a
promoter of school sports, he was.
unmarried. Besides 'his brother,
survivors are another brother, Lee,.
and a sister, Mrs. Leroy O'Brien,
both of Zurich. Mr, Hoffman .was:
one of the first teachers in the Galt
district to specialize in personal
teaching of sports to younger boys
and girls, and would get out and
play their various games with
them. Few teachers have enjoyed
the popularity he won with stu-
