Fire Protection Is Community
Problem
Action of the Seaforth Council
last week in inviting representatives
of the councils of neighboring mun-
icipalities to discus's with it fire pro-
tection for the district, will be com-
mended by ratepayers throughout
the area. The move is the first step
in recognizing the problem for what
ft is, and in acknowledging that mun-
icipalities cannot live unto them-
selves. When disaster in the form
of fire strikes a building in one mun-
icipality, the ordinary citizen has dif-
ficulty in appreciating why fire
equipment across the road, but in a
neighboring municipality, should not
be used to fight it.
Having recognized the common
sense inherent in pooled fire protec-
tion, it becomes necessary then to
work out sound administrative meth-
ods whereby the cost of the protec-
tion is to be borne by the municipali-
ties in proportion to the benefits to
be derived by each. The time to do
that is before the fire. There is lit-
tle point in wrangling over an ac-
count rendered by one municipality
to another after fire -fighting aid has
been given. By the same token,
what is to be gained by recrimina-
tions when, because of intra munici-
pal red tape, help was not forthcom-
ing?
It is quite proper that the matter
should be initiated by Seaforth. As
the town serving the. district, it has
a responsibility beyond that of mere-
ly providing in its stores, the day-to-
day requirements of the residents of
the district.
If the discussions are entered into
with an honest desire to work out a
practical solution, there is no reason
why much benefit cannot result to
every resident. True, there will be
a cost attached, but the cost, based
on a co-operative plan as between the
municipalities concerned, will be
much less than would be the case
were the municipalities to each pro-
vide their own protection. Not only
will the cost be less, but in the event
of a major fire the protection would
be greater and thus more effective
than is now the case.
It is to be hoped that next week's
meeting will lay the foundation for
a carefully conceived plan, incorpor-
ating in it the fire protection needs
of the district. Fire can strike any-
where, anytime, and it is never too
soon to make preparations that will
result in it being brought under con-
trol as quickly as possible.

Question Benefits of Controls
The increasing costs of many of
the products which are required for
day -to -clay living have given rise to
'the suggestion in many quarters that
controls of some nature should be
brought into .effect.
One of those who questions the re-
sultant benefits of such a. move is R.
M. Fowler, President of the Canadian
Pulp and Paper Association, who, in
his annual report to the association,
discusses the problem.
"Perhaps our greatest difficulty in
reaching decisions on this problem
of government controls is that we
are too close to the last war. We had
in Canada during World War II a
good performance on the economic
front. 1VLanyt of the men who admin-
stereti the last controls are still
ilah1l y and when they are consult-
:+ ` itteVitabiy think interms of
fie' kind of genera-. over-all
found to be n.0 es -
aa
nary and effective eight or ten yea
ago.
"We could easily slide into a dupli-
cation of the control system of the
last war without realizing that what
worked well thea may not work near-
ly as well now. The conditions are
entirely different.
"In 1942 when full economic con-
trols—with complete government di-
rection of rroduction, distribution
and price—were imposed we had
been engaged in a declared world
war for over two years and 'much of
the conversion from peacetime to
wartime production -had been accom-
plished out of the slack in the econ-
omy that had existed at the outbreak
of hostilities.
"Today we have no such slack as
civilian requirements have been us-
ing almost our full industrial capac-
ity. And today we can still hope that
the complete world struggle is not
inevitable. That declared, all-out
battle for survival may be. postponed
indefinitely and ultimately avoided;
instead, we may be faced with a long-
term requirement for preparedness
that will need many sacrifices and
heavy commitments of our resources
but will still be limited in the sense
that we have not yet entered the full-
scale struggle.
"This is the most serious issue fac-
ing Canada today, far a wrong deci-
sion on this matter of controlsay
be disastrous. The decision muse be
based on the needs of today, not on
the circumstances that existed nine
years ago. Complete, over-all econ-
omic controls under today's condi-
tions may be much less effective and
efficient than they were last time, and
what is more important, may weak-
en us for the ultimate struggle if it
comes. You do not run a 100 -yard
dash in the same way you run a 10 -
mile race.
"Undoubtedly we must have some
economic controls. We have some
now and will have more. We will
particularly need such governmen-
tal action as will contribute to maxi-
mum industry effort to maintain and
expand production. But fully recog-
nizing the difficulties of selective
controls to meet specific needs, I hope
for two basic reasons that general
over-all economic controls will not
be immediately undertaken.
"In the first place, economic con-
trols can only be effective if there is
general public acceptance of their
necessity. The controls work, not be-
cause of government power or
threats, but because the overwhelm-
ing majority of the people believe in
them and support them. They un-
derstand the need and are willing to
accept the restrictions and sacrific-
es involved. If there is not that kind
of public support, there is likely to
be either widespread evasion or a
slackening of incentive and effort
that will cause loss of productivity.
Today, I question if there is enough
public knowledge of the emergency
and a great enough shortage in sup-
plies to make governinent controls
effective.
But the second argument for
avoiding or postponing controls is
even more powerful. As we sit to-
day, so long as full-scale war has not
broken out, we enter an open-ended
situation. There may be internation-
al tensions and heavy defence pro-
grams for 15 or 20 years. If we have
full-scale economic controls in Can-
ada and the United States for twen-
ty years I wonder how much of our
capitalistic free enterprise system
will remain at the end of that time."
What Other Papers Say:
Revision Needed
(Port Elgin Times)
Ontario's Assessment Act is badly
in need of revision. No two munici-
palities assess on the same basis and
no two assessors seem able to agree
on what is a fair and equitable as-
sessment. There are two schools:
One which works on a low assess-
ment and a high mill rate and the
other with a higher assessment and
- a low mill rate. At the present time
comparisons between municipalities
are impossible as all seem to use a
different method in assessing. The
act should be clarified and amended_
to insure uniformity throughout the
pro"vt'iee.

'History of Cranbrook'
The following is a copy of the
topic, "The History of Cranbrook,"
prepared and delivered at the regu-
lar meeting of Granbrook V(romen's
lustitute on Tuesday, Feb. 13:
hi the year 1852, Cranbrook was
surveyed into lots from Lot 11,
Concession 11, of Grey, to Lot 15,
on the llth Concession, inclusive.
This survey was called The Town
Plot of Grey Township, consisting
of a market square; mill race and
park and town lots. It was known
as the Town Plot or The Plot for
at least 50 years. Because the rail-
way did not come through, as had
been expected, Cranbrook never
developed Vint° the town as was,
planned.
A log store and a frame granary
were erected by John Leckie, west
of where Peter Baker's house now
stands. In the early days settlers
would take their grain to the store
to exchange for merchandise. This
grain was hauled by teams of oxen
and in later years butter and eggs
were also traded, Mr. Leckie sold
this to Alexander McNair, who kept
the store and post office until his
death in 1905. He was also the
township treasurer.
The first hotel in Cranbrook was
built by James Tuck and was situ-
ated on the corner east of where
/Michell's store now is. The hall
was in the hotel, and all council
Meetings and political meetings
were held there. Mr. Tuck also
built a store west of the hotel,
which was oekated by Robt. Tuck,
Joe Blatchford, Thos. Harbottle and'
James Ritchie. In 1895 fire destroy-
ed the hotel and store, also Alex
McNair's store and house, Mr. Mc-
Nair replaced his house, which is
now occupied by Peter Baker.
A small lime kiln was built on
the Blind Line by a man named
John Sheek, and on the river bank
Valentine Gramm erected a large
lime kiln 25 feet high on bhe farm
now occupied by Stanley Fisher.
Hundreds of tons of lime were de-
livered from here into McKillop
Township for building stone foun-
dations.
Cameron Bros. also operated a
flax mill on the river bank, em-
ploying 25 or 30 men and boys.
This was on the property which
now belongs to Geo. Smalldon,
In 1865 a Presbyterian Church
was built on its present site, and
in 4888 an addition was built to
it. The church was built in 1895,
and in 1940 a basement was put
under and the structure remodel-
led. In the 85 years there have been
nine ministers, namely: Rev. Fer-
guson, Rev. T. Thompson, Rev. D.
B. McRae, Rev, J. L. McCullougb,
Rev. T. E. Kennedy, Rev. W. A.
Williams, Rev. J. E. Taylor, Rev.
I. D. McIver and Rev. A. J. Simp-
son.
A Lutheran Church was situated
west of Peter Baker's barn on the
property now owned by Robert En-
gel. The Methodist Church was
west, being a short distance east
of L. H. Gordon's house. This
church was a part of the Ethel
circuit and included Ethel (where
the Parsonage was), Roe's, Union,
Moncrieff and Cranbrook. Two
ministers served this charge, one
ordained and one a student. Later,
Cranbrook joined with the Brus-
sels charge. The ministers were
Mr. Cousins, Mr. Powell, Dr. Datan,
Mr. Wren, Mr. Stafford and .
Clarke.
On Lot 40, Concession 12, there
was a church known as the Gei
man Methodist, located at the ex-
treme eastern side of the village,
West of this was a blacksmith whop
operated by Robert Cameron and
later by John Wasmann and Wm.
Steiss. There was still another
blacksmith shop operated by Joe
Baker, Ed. Williams and John For-
rest, and at the present time by
Malcolm Engel.
On Lot 16, Concession. 11, a saw-
mill was operated by John McIn-
tyre and a cheese factory by Cam-
eron & Ring. This was later known
as Cameron's cider and apple but-
ter factory.
The mail to Cranbrook was
drawn from Brussels by mail car-
riers, Valentine Gramm, Charles
Alderson and Geo. Huether, 'but
rural mail delivery came and the
post office closed, while Arthur
Helm was postmaster.
The south side of the Plot, Lot
15, Con. 12, was known as Tan-
nersville, and on this side a hotel
was erected by William Dames,
also a hall with a store under it.
Mr. Dames also operated a sawmill
south of the hotel. About 1890 fire
from the sawmill burned the hotel
and two houses, "The hotel and.
one of the houses were rebuilt. An-
thony Rayman operated a pump
business west of the hotel where
Ross Engel now resides. A black-
smith shop, just east of the old
hall, was operated by Conrad Up-
per, and a wagon shop by J. J.
Mitchell. There was also a cider -
mill and chopping mill operated ex-
tensively by Geo. Siemon.
The school was built e mile and
a quarter east of Cranbrook on
Goldwyn Knight's farm, where the
Presbyterian congregation held
their services prior to building
their church. The new school was
built in 1867 where the present
one was erected • in 1895. In 1926
a reunion was held, when many of
the old boys and girls were back
to their familiar haunts. Amuse-
ments which afforded entertain-
ment for the young folk came in
the form of a merry-go-round which
was located where the sawmill
previously stood. This would re-
main for a week at a time and op-
erate at night. At other times
concert companies entertained, us-
ing the field across from Stanley
Campbell's for their tents and
equipment. The biggest of all was
the Indian doctor who gave tick-
ets with his cure-all medicines,
which were used to vote on the
most popular young lady in the
community.
Some years after the fire in 1895
Anthony McDonald built the pres-
ent store and house which has since
been occupied by Mr. Leitch, Mr.
Sheppard, Mr. Rudd, Lyle Gordon,
and now Lloyd Michel, who has
added an egg grading station and
cold storage. The latest addition
to the village is now the Commun-
ity Centre, in 1950.
Safer, Better To Bury Wires
Than To Cut Down Trees
(From the Woodstock Sentinel -
Review)
Although no season is storm -free
in Canada, the winds probably howl
more violently and frequently dur-
ing the first three or four months
than at any other time of the year.
And windstorms frequently cause
a lot of damage to overhead wires,
with the more intense the wind,
the greater the damage.
Usually it isn't the wind itself
that does the damage. It is the
wind against trees. Trees are up-
rooted or branches torn off, and
the trees or branches fall across
overhead power lines, breaking bhe
wires themselves or the poles that
support them. When this happens,
service is interrupted, often for
long periods at a time, with conse-
quent inconvenience to all con-
cerned. Often, as in Winnipeg fol-
lowing the big windstorm last Aug-
ust, when at least three citizens
were electrocuted by fallen wires,
the downed wires are a threat to
personal safety.
When anything like that hap-
pens, the cry goes up that trees
should be cut down or branches
lopped off in wholesale fashion.
An example of this kind of think-
ing occurred in Windsor not long
r
ago. When power failed in the
doe ntown area during a storm, the
trouble was traced to a citizen's
backyard, where a .big elm tree had
grounded a 4,000 -volt line. Hydro
representatives immediately declar-
ed,that trees in the neighborhood
standing close to the power lines
were dangerous. Hydro was help-
less, they, said, because the citi-
zens in whose property the trees
•stood refused to allow Hydro main-
tenance men to cut the trees.
Wihat was needed, the Hydro re-
presentative said, was a city' by-
law compelling owners to allow,
their trees to be chopped down.
The solution might be a good
one if it were the desire of the
nation's citizens to eliminate beau-
ty in order that maintenance might
be made easier. Indeed, if this
were the only solution, there would
be no grounds to dispute the argu-
ment.
rgu-
ment.
But there is another solution,
and a far more sensible one. That
is to bury the wires underground.
Trees contribute too much to the
appearance of a city or town and
to the comfort of the citizens to
be hacked down merely to protect
the utilities.
The real villain of the piece is
the overhead wiring, not the trees.

Fieldman)
The February directors' meeting
of Huron County Federation of
Agriculture, will be held on Tues-
day, Feb. 27, at 1:30 p.m., at the
Agricultural Board Room, Clinton.
This is one week 'later than usual
due to the date conflicting with
other activities.
The Canadian Federation of Ag-
riculture made its annual presen-
tation to the Federal Cabinet on
Feb. 15. Respecting the margarine
question, the 'Canadian Federation
endorsed the request of bhe Dairy
Farmers of Canada for an excise
tax on foreign oils, imported for
use in making margarine, which
they said Was in line with Govern-
ment policy in furnishing protec-
Ition for other Industries, not any
more important than the dairy in-
dustry.
The brief asked for a 62e floor
price "for butter and a 42e floor
,pride on eggs. (This Will be to the
dealers, and not to the farmer). It
also asked that the support price
for Wiltshire sides be raised from
$32.50, to provide the producer with
a more favorable floor price if and
when hog prices do decline.
An investigation into the in-
crease in ,price of fertilizer's was
requested. A heavy increase in
price has been made since controls
were removed.
The brief was very critical of
the action taken by the Board of
Transport Commissioners in dis-
posing of the appeal against the
raising of freight rates on livestock
without requesting the railway
companies to. answer the argu-
ments of the producers.

Arena Busy Place
With every week shortening the

Both local hockey teams are still
very much in the running and ev-
ery consideration should be given
them so that their home games
can be run off without delay. It
costs money to operate a hockey
team, and certainly there ie no
money to be gained in having to
play an important gdme on one of
the neighboring artificial ice sheets,
either for the hockey team or the
arena. It is not improbable that ice
conditions will become catchy once

n.ights may be cool, but a strong
sun on the steel structure can
work havoc with the ice in the
day time.—Blyth Standard.
