PHONE 41 Authorized as Second Class Mail Post Office Department, Ottawa BEAFORTH, Friday, October 20th A Worthy Appeal It is difficult for anty. e who con- tinues to have the 1,t4,16 ight to re- alize the problems whirl 4 face a blind person. The impacrtaf sightless- ness, the long period of adjustment, and finally, the realization that one is never to see again, are, fortunate- ly, trials that the majority of us do not have to face. On the other hand, there are many Canadians, including a num- ber in this district, who will never see again, or who are handicapped with but partial vision. To them the work of the Canadian National In- stitute for the Blind provides that personal contact, help and encour- agement, so necessary in order that they may in so far as possible, take their place in society. It is for this reason that the appeal of the Insti- tute on the occasion of its annual tag day, Saturday, is so worthy of sup- port. The work of the Institute goes on every day in the year. Through the Institute some blind are learning to read by touch, others are already us- ing the C.N.I.B.'s Braille library of 20,000 volumes. A few are using the Institute's talking book machines and listening to 15 -minute playing records on which a variety of books have been transcribed for listening. A substantial amount of our money is being spent on prevention. of blindness. During the past year school children who could not afford to pay for eye examinations and glasses, were provided with them by the C.N.I.B. Whoever it is, or whatever the status in life, the C.N.I.B. has some service that will help the blind to lead a happier life. • Co-operation Needed It was a good thing the fire alarm which sounded Saturday evening was false. Had there been a fire, it is doubtful, according to police, whe- ther it would have been possible for the fire truck to make its way through the mass of cars that crowd- ed around the Hall as soon as the alarm sounded./ Of course the alarm came at a time lc hen Main Street was filled with Saturday night shoppers. But that cannot excuse those many driv- ers who rushed to the Town Hall and parked around the building, closing .,pfd ,any possible exit for the fire truck. It is only human nature to wish to find out about a fire, but motorists in satisfying that wish should co- operate with the fire brigade and carefully avoid any action that might result in interfering with or delay- ing the work of the firemen. A min- ute or two lost in arriving at a fire as a result of having to untangle a maze of curious motorists, might well spell the difference between a building lost and a building saved. • McKillop Leads the Way One of the difficulties in driving through rural townships, if one is not thoroughly familiar with every section, is in finding where people live. The directions given oh start- ing out generally seem explicit, but on arrival at the proper concession, fade to nothing when it is discover- ed there are three red barns in the first mile and a quarter, rather than one as had been described. There is the Long Iane With trees, quite true, bnt a 1itt1r ' further on is another 'lace With a long lane and with trees. 0. li'V'; h re Aid McKillop Federation of Agricul- ture has recognmd the problem and is the first Township of which we • have heard that is doing something about it. lemllea of the Federa- tion are being ap foaehed to pur- chase a sign, of t iform size, on which appears the name of the farm owner. The signs, of good quality, are being made available at a nom- inal cost by the Federation, and it is said that the response from members throughout the township is good. It is to be hoped that before long every farm will have at the gate, a sign indicating the identity of the owner. Already McKillop Federa- ti tion, in co-operation with the Coun-, cil, has had' erected signs indicating each concession. With the addition of a name at every farm lane, the Township will have achieved an ar- rangement for which its visitors will give thanks. We rather imagine the erection of name signs will result in something more than just making it easy for strangers to find their way along township roads. When a man places his name in front of his farm for all to see, he will take a little more pride in the appearance of his place. Af- ter all, every man takes a pride in his name, and if his name is in front of his farm, then he will be more likely to ensure that his farm looks as neat and as tidy as any other. We wouldn't be surprised to find quite a bit of painting, and fence -fixing, and grass -clipping in progress after the signs are erected. 44fi f r or a Cow What Other Papers S ay : wassosAssgssalessassosserssssmOssessossAAstssmssslessmsssass Letting Germans In (Toronto Telegram) Providing Communists and Nazi adherents are kept out there is no reason why Canada's doors should not be re -opened to German immi= grants. Some of the finest Canadian communities today were founded by men and women who left the German Fatherland in the nineteenth century and the early years of this one. Can- ada needs industrious and skilled immigrants and no doubt there are many German citizens who would like to migrate here. In opening our doors, however, the Immigration of: ficials must be sure that neither Communist dr Nazi fanatics enter. • Courts Protect Right Of the Individual (London Free Press) One of the profound ' differences between the British view of justice and that prevailing in many other lands is that the courts defend the law rather than the Government. This gives British courts a special standing in the community. They serve to protect the people not only against private law -breakers, but against any abuse of official power. When the Americans were formulat- ing their constitution they were so strongly impressed by this feature that they made the courts a separate governmental function. In totalita- rian lands courts are instruments of Government policy. It was reassuring to note that in magistrate's court here that tradi- tion was recently upheld in the case of a radio license inspector who laid a charge of operating a radio with- out a license against a Dashwood woman. In court the woman was able to produce a license issued long before the charge was laid. The magistrate not only dismissed the charge but ordered the inspector to pay the travelling expenses incur- red by the defendant or go to jail. Obviously, in an age when regula- tions multiply, there is a greater pos- sibility of the rights of the individual being encroached by officialdom, either through carelessness or the special form of intoxication which comes when man is "clothed with a little brief authority." The courts have to see that laws duly passed are observed. But it is their duty to see that the law is ob- served not only by the ordinary Citi- - zen, but by enforcement officers. With increasing governmental ac- tivity the protection of the citizens against arbitrary officialdom be- comes an increasingly important re- sponsibility' of .the court. (Qntario oddeer) When does a c$r become a heifer? When does• a heifer be- come a' cow? ' Theae .. two decep- tively -simple questionswere put to us by T. E. Mililman, New York dairy farmer. Apparently, some farm folks have been having a lot of fun with the Census Bureau be- cause in the recent eeneus it asks, "How many cows and heifers were milked yesterday?" Fun -loving dairymen wrote the Bureau that one does not milk a •heifer; a heifer is, so to speak, a maiden. They wrote that a heifer does not give milk until she has calved, and when she has accomplished that biological feat she pecomes a COW. We have always referred to in- dividual two, three, and four -year- olds as heifers, using -the phrase in its entirety, a three-year-old heifer. It has been our position that a cow does not reach matur- ity until she is five years of age, and, in the case of Brown Swiss, perhaps six years of age. Al- though we may have been wrong, certainly we have not been more confused than the writers of the dictionary or the Encyclopedia Britannica. The learned. writers of Webster's New International dictionary . de- scribe the . cow as, "The mature female of wild or domestic cattle of the Bos, or of any of the var- ious •animals the male of which is called bull, as the moose, certain of the seal kind, the terrapin, etc." A heifer is defined as, "A young cow; a cow that hes not had a calf." A calf, according to Web- ster's, is, "A bovine animal past the vealer stage but not attained to sexual maturity." } Years Note that a cow is defined as "the mature female." Since the an- imal does not reach maturity un- til five or six years of age, what is she called between the time of first Calving and the time of -reach- ing maturity? Similarly, the scholars do not tell us when a calf becomes a calf. Apparently, they have a different name for the young during the so- called "vealer" stage. Neither have they, defined for us the time when a calf, or whatever they wish to call it, Beaches sexual matur- ity. Frustrated by Webster, we turn- ed to the Encyclopedia Britannica. The cowardly writers, apparently, ducked the issue by tailing to ev- en include the word "cow" in their listing. Under "heifer," though, the writers project a seven -word definition, "A young cow that has not calved." The scholar who pro- posed this treatise has, undoubt- edly, been honored with the Order of the Green Fountain Pen. Dissatisfied with Webster and the Britannica, we turned, with hope, to the learned professors who have written texts on dairy cattle, dairy cattle management, and dairy 'farming. To the extent of our search, we found the auth- ors lacking even the courage of the Webster or Britannica writers. Not only did they fall to offer definitions, but they scrambled th.eir terminology in a mast con- fusing manner. Our search came to an abrupt halt when one of the staff mem- bers posed the added question,. "When does a girl become a wo- man?" We passed." Agricultural Conference The Annual Federal -Provincial Agricultural Conference will open in Ottawa on Monday, Dec. 4, it was announced recently by the Right Hon. James G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture. Sessions will last three days, December 4, 5 and 6, and will be held in the Railway Committee Room of the House of Commons under the chairmanship of Mr. A. M. Shaw, Chairman of the Agricultural Pric Chairman of -thea Agricultural Support Board. $30,000 For Advertising Honey Fearing that strong competition since the war would cause their British sales to decline, beekeepers in Australia have been.. ven more than 30 thousand doll' their government to help theni publicize their honey overseas. Fodder From Trees Fodder trees are being utilized for stock feed in parts of South Africa, particularly on marginal or waste lands where ordinary forage crops can scarcely be grown. Some fodder trees like the Beefwood, Kurrajong and' willow are relished by stock' for their foliage only, while others like the oak, Carob, and Mexican hawthorn are grown respectively for their acorns, seed pods and fruits as well as certain foliage value. There are cases on record where prolific Carob trees have produced more than 1,000 pounds of seed pods per tree. pne ma PtoFfo� Expositor Of TWQRM- Intereptlag Its The Huron ty-itvo and Fifty Years Ago: From The Huron Expositor October 23, 1925 Messrs. M. D. Dietz and H. Mous- Beau, two hunters of the Zurich district, were successful in bagging tens wild geese along the lake shore on Tuesday. Robert McLaren, of Tuckersmith, has disposed of his fine driving show horse, "Peter McGregor," to Mr.' Routledge, of Port Credit, for $310. Miss Jean Eider, of Hensall, has taken a position as clerk in Mr. A. W. E. Hemphill's drug and fan- cy goods store, made vacant by Mise Nellie Carmichael going to Stratford to take a good position. A pleasant event occurred in the office of the W. J. Duncan shoe factory on Friday evening last, when Wallace Parke, on the eve of his return to his home in the Old Country, was presented with a solid leather club bag by Mr. Duncan and the factory employees. The address was read by Mr. Dun- can, while Mr. Bert Muir made the presentation. Dairying Gives High Returns Surveys made in the Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, show that the cash income from the sale of dairy products is great- er than the revenue from any other agricultural product with the ex- ception of wheat. If the returns from the sale of dairy cattle for export and slaughter are included, then the total cash income from dairying exceeds that of wheat and approximates 25 per cent of the total cash income from farming. Another point that is often over �- looked when considering dairying in the national economy of Canada, is the part that the dairy animals themselves play in home and com- munity life in helping to put agri- culture on a more permanent basis. While no one particularly likes doing chores, most farmers become attached to their animals and they soon become a part of farm life. They serve also to give children an understanding of life that proves invaluable to them and through their calf clubs boys and -girls are given an opportunity to learn sound farming practices, and what is more important, to become good Canadian citizens.

Ontario's growth has been amazing. Since 1947 the population has increased by 323,000, over 70,000 new homes have been constructed, approximately 700 new industries have been established and the value of production has risen an estimated 11/2 billion dollars, 88,541 new rural consumers have been supplied with Hydro and the value of agri- cultural production has increased by some 400 million dollars ... all of which called for power in greater quantities than at any previous tithe. BUT—in addition to this 'tremendous growth, the recent step-up is industrial activity due to defence rearmament contracts has brought about a sharp increase in the use of electricity. In the past few weeks the maximum primary demand in Southern Ontariq has been as much as 400,000 horsepower (298,000 kilowatts) higher than a year ago . an increase 5 times greater than the long term average rate of growth.
