Well -.tarred Retirement
- The announcement contained in
this issue that Mr. W. J. Duncan had
sold the business that bears his name
and which he founded forty-two
years ago, will be read with interest
not only by Seaforth citizens, but al-
. so by many who at one time resided
here and who remember Duncan's
factory and the man who made it pos-
sible.
From its beginning in 1908 in a
small store on Main Street, until to-
day, with its nearly fifty employees,
Duncan's shoe factory has been a
Large factor in the economic success
of Seaforth. As one of the largest
employers of labor during good times •
and bad, the Duncan industry has
done much through the years to
stabilize the business life of the town.
As sole owner of the business
through the years, Mr. Duncan re-
garded his position as one of trust on
behalf of his employees. He recog-
nized that as an employer, he had a
definite responsibility= towards those
who made possible the production of
Duncan shoes, That he succeeded is
evidenced by the fact that never dur-
ing his forty-two years in business
did the factory lose production be-
cause of labor difficulties. -
He recognized, too. that a resi-
dent of Seaforan, he had a responsi-
bility to the community. His help
and advice, always freely given, have
been large factors in the success of
many community projects.
Seaforth will join with us in wish-
ing Mr. Duncan many years of well-
earned retirement, and in extending
to the new owners of the business ev-
ery good wish for a long and sucteess-
ful operation here.

Framer's and Hpdr o Poles
During the past week Hibbert
farmers have received much public-
ity in the daily press of the Province
because of the stand they have taken
regarding the erection of hydro poles
en their lands.
- While it is only recently- that the
Smatter has received public attention,
the problem has existed for many
months. When construction crews en-
tered upon the lands the situation
was brtaaght to a head. Dissatisfied
with the compensation offered for
the erection of a pole structure, the
fanners affected banded together
and in an orderly manner •as befitted
responsible citizens, pressed those in
authority for an equitable adjust-
ment of their claims. That these
Maims had merit is indicated by the
fact that Hydro. following earlier
protes1`A by the farmers, raised the
rate for a te o -pole structure from
$ 13.50 to &37.50, or almost three
times tiia.t which was originally of-
fered.
There is no particular problem
when a pole line boB deers as fence or
some natural boundary. But when
the dictates of eonstrucUon demand
that it be built across the middle Of
a field, the farmers quite properly
anted out that the allowance be -
mg offered f-13 fair short of compen-
sathag them for the additional work
with which, yea after year, they
would be faced as they sowed and.
harvested their crop.
The loss of the actual ground oce
cupied by the poles means nothing is
ration to the inconvenience and
trouble which maeuee of the poles

Complain,,bave also been levelled
at the .nnanaer in which bush lots
have been entered in order to provide
rights -of -tray. However, this aspect
is being reviewed, Chairman Robert
H. Saunders, is reported to have said.
The route that the line is required
to follow has been known for more
than a year. While the necessity of
the line crossing certaii,< properties
cannot be denied, it is unfortunate
that in acquiring rights-of-way the
Ontario Hydro did not adopt a more
realistic attitude with respect to the
damage which, because of its con-
struction, will result in perpetuity'
to the farms concerned. The neces-
sity of ensuring that Ontario hydro
consumers as a whole be protected
against waste and extravagance, in-
cluding unjust clans for compensa-
tion of any kind, is admitted. We
doubt, however, that the average
hydro consumer desires that individ-
ual farmers be denied compensation
commensurate with damage suffered
in order to effect savings. There un-
doubtedly are many other ways
in which the Ontario Hydro Elec-
tric Power Commission could save
money.

Warmer Winters
The older one becomes, the more
it seems that conditions years ago
were more severe than they are at
the present time. The snow is not as
deep; the weather is not as cold; the
blizzards are shorter—in a nutshell,
winters just aren't what they used to
be. °
Along comes scientific proof that
this is not imagination. Canadian
winters are, on the average, warmer
than they were fifty or sixty years
ago. The authority is Andrew Thom-
son, controller of the Meteorological
Service of Canada, who: sail last
• week that a comparison of weather
statistic from stations which have
kept records over a long period have
proved there is a gradual' warming -
up in the Canadian climate.
"In Toronto the average tempera-
ture for the winter months of De-
cember, January and February has
increased by nearly four degrees
since 1890,” he said.
At Southampton, where Miss Ag-
nes Toln'iie had kept weather records
without interruption since 1890, the
average winter temperature had in-
creased 2.2 degrees. A similar trend
was seen in Muskoka where three
generations of the Hollingworth fam-
ily-, on a farm near Falkenberg, have
faithfully recorded weather since
1878. There the increase for the last
60 years was 2.7 degrees.
The trend becomes more noticeable
the farther north one goes. While a
four -degree increase was registered
at Winnipeg and Prince Albert over
20 years, the warming up amounted
to nine degrees at Dawson City in
the period from 1 18,
Reasons given for the higher win-
ter temperatures include: More heat
from the sun; lack of great volcanic
outbursts with their resulting in-
crease of dust in the atmosphere; in-
crease in the amount of carbon diox-
ide in the atmosphere, and changes
in the circulation of the atmosphere,
particularly in the paths of the move-
ments of great air masses between
tlae equator and the north pole. •

(By Capt. Frederick Le Oliver in :..e Christiian Science Monitor)
Russia again is attempting to i
hued. up a navy despite the unfor-
tunate results that have attended
similar efforts in the past. 1
For several years, Moscow has,
..een carrying on a planned cam-'
'sign to make the vast population'
of a land -minded nation sea con-
scious, and arouse enthusiasm for
a navy.
Uninformed masses throughout
the country have been the target
for propaganda skillfully prepared
by the Politburo. which has come
to realize the importance bf ere -
cess to and control of the sea.
Among other measures taken, an
annual navy day has been desig-
nated which is devoted from the
Baltic to the Pacific, to drum -
thumping about the present and
prospective prowess of the Soviet
Navy. and its alleged contributions
to the past. present and future ad-
vancement of naval science.
The cause of the navy was fur-
ther
urtter advanced about a year ago.
when a separate Navy Department
was constituted, removing naval
activities from the fetters previ-
ously imposed by an unsympathetic
and uncooperative military estab-
lishment concerned with matters
ashore.
However. Soviet naval aims ap-
pear foggy to western observers.
There was a weak foundation to
build on. and reports from various
sources. coupled with announce-
ments from Moscow, cam data
which cannot be reconciled. and
lead to the conclusion that Russia
has a faulty conception of modern
naval requirements.
Moat of the news Russia has re-
leased about new naval construc-
tion other than submarines is de-
voted to three 37.000 -ton battle-
ships under construction at Lenin-
grad.
These three ships have been in
building for 15 years, during which
time extensive changes in plans
mutt have been made when con-
struction was held up for lengthy
periods for various reasons.
Radical changes in plans during
the construction of a ship usually
involve many compromises which
do not lend themselves to best re-
sults in the 'finished vessel. It will
be interesting to know what the
Soviets make of a ship which he-
gan as a contemporary of the
North Carolina clam of battleships
laid down by the United States in
1927.
The Russian ships will have to
rompete with later destgus of bat-
tleships that are almost twice as
large and much more powerttul ves-
sels
According to a Swedish source.
the first of the Russian ships. the
Sov_yetski Soyas- was running trials
in the eastern Baltic during '.Sep-
tember, 1950. From the same
source of information comes news
that theehips are armed wieh six
0.6 centimeter (approximately 16 -
inch) guns in two turrets. 20 15 -
centimeter (i+ -inch) guns, and 24
45 -millimeter anti-etreraft guns. A
so two large mounts for laure'
guided missiles of some type.
This armament implies no radi-
oed departure from we: tern ideas
along the same subject_ except that
the Russian ship is weak in anti-
aircraft guns.
While it is not apparent what
tactical use the Soviets prepose to
make of the three new battleships
and four or five other, ranging up
o 40 years old, any battleship in
me of war has great value. It
s a potential menace to convoy
routes, and requires the assign
meat of severse capita tit eOW at`
able power to guard convoy iaues,
against raids.
Frontiers Fortified
it is reported that the Soviet Un-
ion also has plaits to build up a
merchant marine capable of com-
peting foe an appropriate share of
world trade on the seas.
Merchant ships roaming the oc-
eans
e-eans and visiting foreign ports will
give the Soviets a problem in
andling the crews of the vessels.
eresently the Kremlin is reluctant
to allow its citizens outside the
Iron Curtain lest they learn the
truth about the many misrepresen-
tations banded out from Moscow
concerning world conditions.
The urge to acquire warships and
merchantmen undoubtedy is the
forerunner of another effort to ac-
complish $lissia's age-old ambition
to secure control of warm -water
Outlets to the sea
Since 1945, the Soviets have
been concerned with making their
water frontiers impregnable, and
perhaps now consider this work
reasonably complete so they men
turn to other matters.
The eastern Baltic has been seal-
ed to outsiders, and fortiecations
in the Gulf of Riga and at Pork-
kala
orkkala in southwest Finland guard
the approaches to Leningrad. Rus-
sia
uasia unquestionably plans to take
over control of the entire Baltic
area in case of war.
A more difficult problem is pos-
ed in the Black Sea, where the
Dardanelles are controlled by Tur-
key. Traditionally, the Turks have
no fondness for the Muscovites,
and over the years have managed
to retain possession of this stra-
tegic outlet to the Black Sea.
It is rumored that large stock-
piles of Soviet war material have
been assembled in Bulgaria in ser
cure possession of the Dardanelles.
With a wealth of experience
gathered in polar seas, Ressian sea
power is firmly entrenched througe -
out most of the Arctic Ocean_ How-
ever, this area is largely unattrac-
tive for planners of anti-Soviet
strategy.
Since 1905, when the Russian
nary was virtually destroyed by
the Japanese at the Battle of
Tsushima, few Russian surface
vessels have appeared in the Pa-
cific.
No Know% Carriers
Vladivostok. the principal naval
base is icebound for months of the
year. The newly acquired base at
Dairen although ice -free. is poorly
located well up the Yellow Sea, but
donbtless other ba e; farther south
in Chinese territory will be made
avatleble. All of these bases will
suffer irum lack of transportation
facilities.
Russia's expanding naval activi-
ties indicate an awakened interest
in a service whiele has never ap-
peared to advantage on the seas:.
/cut the curious reversion zo the
battleship type instead of turning
to the aircraft carrier, makes the
Soviet naval pre=ram a rlue_tion-
able procedtare_ As far as is known
no carrier is being built by the
Rtttians.
But whs.tecet- the merits of Sov-
iet surface ships, they will be too
few in number for yeses to come
to be able to contest control of the
seas by the navies of non-Commun-
ist countries.
