Policeman's Job
A worthwhile thought concerning
the responsibilities of police in a
town has been advanced by the May-
or of Midland.
Noting that the policing of small
towns does not present the problems
which exist in the cities, the Midland
mayor feels that police in the small-
er centres should be leaders in youth
recreation and education activities.
In this way, by providing facilities
and proper supervision, the energies
of youth could be diverted into
worthwhile channels. Much of the
rowdyism and vandalism present in
small towns and which constitutes at
the moment much of the work of lo-
cal police, could be eliminated.
The Midland Free Press Herald
supports the proposal: "The Mayor
is putting forward the idea, and we
believe rightly, that the main job of
a policeman is prevention of crime
at the educational level. After the
kw -breaker has broken the law, it is
often too late.
"Midland's mayor suggests that
our police constables, at least in the
smaller centres, should be leaders in
youth recreation and education ac-
tivities. Policemen could and should,
be argues, participate in playground
activities, sponsor sports shows in-
volving youth participation, organ-
ize groups of boys and girls who will
,ta've respect for the rights and pro-
perty of others.
"Such , a policy would, of course,
involve a somewhat changed ap-
proach to the average daily beat of
a local constable. Parking offenses
and a main street . walk would be
relegated to their proper unimport-
ance.
"Our men in blue should be lead-
ers in the community and should be
treated accordingly."

The Free Vote
A vote is a funny thing.
In Canada, for instance, if a man
isn't entitled to vote, he wants one.
Just listen to the squawks at a poll-
ing booth of people who want to vote
on a money by-law but, who, because
they are not property owners, can-
not be given a ballot.
On the other hand, a good many
Canadians who are entitled to a bal-
lot, don't bother using it. In Sea-
forth's last election, for instance, but
seventy per cent of those qualified
took the trouble to mark a ballot.
'here is nothing more worthless
than an unused ballot. It is strange
that so many people have so little re-
gard for such a valuable asset and
waste it by not using it.
But it is different when the vote
bas been won by blood, and when the
people have seen with their own eyes
and can appreciate what a free bal-
lot means. A few weeks ago, the
Communists staged a violent cam-
paign against participation' in voting
for a new Berlin house of deputies
in the Allied sector of Berlin. The
anti-Communists, armed with the
free and secret vote, didn't waste the
opportunity of showing their con -
tem et of the Marxists; 1,504,414 of.

their ballot.
A vote in Roumania is quite unil`ke
a Berlin vote. While the West Ber-
llinters were casting their ballots, the
tina/Oa* too, were. voting. Un-
der the ail seeing eye of the secret pa -
lice and Russian troops, they gave
itep approval to the only

liateg.

Tidy Streets
In New York City it . is an offence
to drop an empty cigarette package
or a piece of paper on the street.
True, it has been an offence for a
long time, but just recently the city
entered into a full-time campaign to
enforce the law. In one day 226 men
and women were summoned to ap-
pear in court because a sanitary in-
spector saw them contribute to the
dirt and litter of Manhattan by drop-
ping something on the street or side-
walk.
Dirty, littered streets are an eye-
sore, whether they be in New York
or in Seaforth. They indicate that
the citizens lack civic pride. When
the litter and the dirt are allowed to
remain on the streets for several
days, possibly, the civic administra-
tion is at fault.
No matter how often citizens are
asked to be tidy and neat, there al-
ways seems to be an element that is
by nature untidy. This element can,
and often does, undo the worl(of the
conscientious citizen who takes a
pride in neat and unlittered streets.
When this happens, drastic measures
are necessary to stop the practise of
throwing anything not wanted into
the streets.
Neat, unlittered streets might well
be the aim of Seaforth in 1951. Un-
tidiness is a bad habit, easily acquir-
ed, which, if permitted to continue,
becomes increasingly contagious.
What Other Papers Say:
Watch the Children
(Hanover Post)
There will always be fires, which
are definitely accidents and there
may be children who lose their lives
in such fires through no fault or neg-
lect of anyone. But there are too
many cases when children are re-
ported as alone in homes where fire
breaks out, and who lose their lives
by being burned to death. The law
can be strict in such an instance. But
it does not go far enough. It cannot
go as far as it should. Such people
should be punished to its full extent.
How? We wouldn't know, but sure-
ly something should be done.

Any Library Books?
(Petrolia Advertiser -Topic)
If you have a bookcase in your
home, how about looking through the
books it contains and see if there are
any that belong to the local public
library. One woman reports that
she recently discovered a book in her
home that she obtained from the
Petrolia Library three years ago. She
admits that it was just through neg-
ligence that it was not returned. If
you have any library' books in your
possession of long standing, the lib-
rary boards of the district would be
very grateful if you would return
them at once to their proper places.

Pioneers Had Advantage
(St. Thomas Times -Journal)
The Prince Albert Herald has seen
fit to answer the oft -heard statement
that the pioneers never got any as-
sistance when they came to this coun-
try. i
"Probably this is true," says The
Herald. "They got in here and had to
make it stick. They had no way of
getting out. But there are other
things to consider. The pioneers
were not paying for paved roads.
They were not paying for an expen-
sive school system. They were not
paying to help keep an army of in-
spectors busy. They were not buying
things on the instalment plan. They
did not have to invest hundreds of
dollars in harvesting machinery, or
did they have to keep it in repair.
They did not have to pay for interest
on government debts.
"All honor 'to the pioneers, but let
us remember they had not bumped
into the load of taxation which the
farmer of today has to carry."
le
Writing The F positet''t1 is week
from the West, a former litacefield
district resident recalls conditions
as they existed in the West fifty
and mere years ago:
'Following the advent of the fur
trader, stories of the open plains
with abundant grass -covering and
the Chiuodk winds which keep this
area free from snow most of the
winter, went back to cattle and
sheep men who soon saw the pos-
sibilities of range stock production
under such favorable conditions.
In 1879 the Government import-
ed 1,000 head of cattle from Mon-
tana and distributed them' among
the Indians, due to the disappear-
ance of the buffalo and scarcity of
meat supply. The herd was locat-
ed in the Porcupine Hills west of
Macleod. Though badly managed
and depleted by thieves and wolves,
it proved that the cattle industry
could be successfully carried on in
Alberta.
As soon as the Indians were
placed on reserves, the country
was opened for the ranchers, Graz-
ing leases at low rates were given
for large areas of government
lands. The largest leases were re-
stricted to 100,000 acres—the rate
being $10. per 1,000 acres per year,
the lessee placing one head of cat-
tle for every 10 acres of the lease.
In 1869 the rate was raised to $20
per 1,000 acres, and°the number of
cattle reduced to one head for ev-
ery 20 acres.
`Until Sept. 1, 1896, there had
been no tariff restrictions on cat-
tle imported into the N.W.T., pro-
vided they were for stocking the
ranges and not sold until the end
of a period of three years. On this
date a duty of 40 per cent was im-
posed.
By this time ranching was fully
established, located mostly in the
foothills country south of Calgary.
It was a Government estimate that
there were 104,000 cattle on the
leased, lands, besides 11,000 more
owned by non -leasers. An order -in -
council was passed—prohibiting
sheep from running on cattle
ranges.
"The winder of 1886-87 was the
hardest upto date with an estimat-
ed loss of 15 per cent.—a lesson
for the cattlemen to put up feed
for such emergencies.
From 1888 onwards, the area un-
der lease for grazing purposes de-
creased, but on the other hand,
the number of ranchers increased,
as did the total number of cattle
on the ranges. The winter of 1896-
97 was very severe, but owing to
better car the losses were not
nearly as severe as in 1886.
In the early days many of the
cattle were brought from the Unit-
ed States, so the Government
adopted a rigid policy of veterin-
ary inspection and quarantine in
1884.
At the end of the century, mange
appeared in some herds, 6,860 cat-
tle were dipped that season near
�itor
Macleod. Again the trouble broke
out in 1905 and 1907; and dipping
became compulsory, and 382,921
cattle were treated.
From the beginning of the cattle
industry, stealing was one of the
annoying incidents of the business.
This led the stock owners to form
stock associations for their own
protection. Laws were passed
regulating driving, marketing and
inspection of stock. elhe Western
Stock Association was organized
in 1896 with, power to make laws
relating to 'round -ups, suspension
and expulsion of members, In 1899
the stock inspection ordinance was
passed, compelling inspection by
official inspectors of all stock be-
fore being loaded for shipment. By
this means shippers had to produce
title to the cattle ie. their posses-
sion. At the present time all stock
is inspected, either at point of
loading, en route, or at destination,
by government or deputy inspec-
tors.
A source of annoyance in the
early days was the difficulty of
keeping American cattle from drift-
ing onto Alberta ranges, so in addi-
tion to police patrols, ranchers
kept line riders to drive American
cattle back.
Supplies required for Indian
reservations and for- railway con-
struction provided) an early market
for cattle ranchers.
In 1889, export to Great Britain,
via Montreal, began. After •paying
all expenses, ranchers realized $45
per head. Of course, duo to condi-
tions, prices varied.
Settlement of land and, shorter
term leases, many of the large
rancher?, sold out. But climatic
conditions in Southern Alberta are
not conducive to successful farm-
ing.
Me Iong hard winter of 1906-07
was one of the worst, and 75 per
cent loss was common, but was a.n-
other hard -learned lesson to put up
feed for the cattle, if needled, and
stockmen were urged to produce
more export cattle by winter feed-
ing and better breeding.
This is a brief account of early
ranching in Albeeta, and the ups
and downs of the industry: in re-
-cent years are, perhaps, better
known no comment being made
on beef prices!
But one paragraph more may be
of interest to many—how in the
years gone by ranchers organized
their roundups, usually one in the
spring, for the branding of calves,
and one in the fall for the sorting
and shipping of beef.
Each round -up was a weIl-plan-
ned organization, with camp cooks,
"reps" from bar room outfits par-
ticipating in the round -up, cowboys,
horse wranglers, etc. Each round-
up association had a boss and all
unbranded or "maverick" stock be-
came the property- of the associa-
tion unless "reps" recognized and
moved the stock to their home
range."

Beef Can Be Produced
At Lower Cost
A survey of the cost of produc-
ing
roducting beef made in four communities
of the Eastern Townships it1•" 1947
revealed, on the one hand, that it
required an average of 3,034 pounds
of meal plus hay and roots to fin-
ish a steer at 18 months of age.
On the other hand, G. Lalonde
points out, experiments conducted
from 1939 to 1946 at the Experi-
mental Station. Lennoxville, have
demonstrated) that, in this district,
there is littleprofit where beef
production is based on heavy grain
feeding and tbat a large part of
the grain can be replaced by hay,
silage and pasture.
1. Time of Birth: For success-
ful beef production., the calves
should be born at the right time
of the year, March or April, and
fed so as to receive no setback in
their growth. When born early,
the calves have time to develop
and gain strength before being
turned to pasture. The young
steers are then able to take all
their mother's milk, therefore
avoiding the trouble of having to
milk the cow from time to time
while on pasture. Moreover. at the
age of six to eight weeks, a calf
is better able to stand the inclenl-
ency of the spring weather.
2. No set Back in, Growth :
Young and tender herbage must
be supplied in abundance during
the whole summer. As permanent
or long term pastures will furnish
generally sufficient herbage in
May and June, only certain spe-
cial crops are recommended for
Suzy and August. grazing. Green
data may be used for this purpose.
If. seeded with a mixture ofa, graft -
ea and legainee, among which May
bo Ladino clover, it will furnish
abund lit pasture of otcelient Otlat-
ity. Towards the end of August
and the beginning of September,
aftermaths may be used, and then
in October the stock can be shift-
ed back to the old natural or long-
term pastures. Calves born in
early spiting and raised! on their
dram's milk and succulent :herbage
all summer should weigh betwelan
425 and 450 pounds on the aver-
age.
During the winter, the basal ra-
tion of the recently weaned calves
should consist of good quality hay
and either corn or grass silage. In
addition one to two pounds of grain
per day should be fed. A good pro-
cedure is to feed one pound of
meal spread on 12 pounds of sil-
age, and, hay at will (between three
and five pounds). On such a ra-
tion, the steers should weigh
around 700 pounds in the spring,.
During the secowd sumater, the
steers are carried on good pasture
and should weigh between 825 to
850 pounds by fall.
They can then be wintered on
hay and silage only. A. ration of
10 to 15 pounds of hay and 20 to
60 pounds of silage has given good)
results at the Lennoxville Experi-
mental Station.
As these animals, are to be fin-
ished:
nished: on pasture during the third
summer, it is important that they
be given the very best pasture.
Such steers can be marketed from
the middle of July on, if prices are
satisfactory, at a aeeight Varying
between 1,050'and 1,1,00 pourelte
As a preliminary demonstration
of this method, in the summer of
1950 sit steers were finished in the
above manner and two of them
were displayed to the public at the
Sherbrooke Winter ir' " this fall.,
The lMtdi' Were elf of it' old and`

was built on the corner of the farm
now owned by Mr. Douglas Camp
bell+, lot 3, concession 5, East Waw--

1870, , the Hoovers having cut and
hewed the timbers for the frame
building from their bush. In this
church the seats were rough planks
set on blocks of wood. The new
church was built in 1889, and some
time between then and 1892 the
old church was moved, on to tires
