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.

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.

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."

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.

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

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-

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.

Dour Hjdro is growing fast- but
In 10 years your Hydro has increased the power supply to Southern
Ontario by 952,940 horsepower, over twice the combined power
requirements of the cities of Windsor; ia.ondon, Hamilton, Peterborough,
Kingston and Ottawa ... and there will be more power within the
next few months.
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.
For this reason your Hydro urges everyone to co-operate in the con-
servation of electricity.

Dour Hjdro is growing fast- but
In 10 years your Hydro has increased the power supply to Southern
Ontario by 952,940 horsepower, over twice the combined power
requirements of the cities of Windsor; ia.ondon, Hamilton, Peterborough,
Kingston and Ottawa ... and there will be more power within the
next few months.
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.
For this reason your Hydro urges everyone to co-operate in the con-
servation of electricity.
