Urban -Rural Relations
Speaking to members of the Gode-
rich Junior Chamber of Commerce
recently, Huron Agricultural Re=
presentative Gordon Bennett touch-
ed on a matter that frequently is, lost
Fight of by urban residents. He told
the J.C.'s that it was to their ad-
vantage and to the advantage of
their town that they get together
with the members of rural organiza-
ions -as frequently as possible to as-
sist them in solving their problems.
Pointing out that no Longer is it
true that urban and rural residents
can go their separate ways without
it making a great deal of difference,
Mr. Bennett properly stressed that
today there is a dependence one on
the other which in the past has not
existed to the same extent.
There is no doubt that the town
resident bybecomingfamiliar
with
and helping
to ease the problems of
his rural neighbors is in fact helping
himself and his town. The town is
but a centre about which the com-
niunity revolves, and its success is
bound up with the success of the
farming community it serves.

Beetles to Replace Hoes?
There vi11 be general rejoicing
among tillers of the soil as a result
of an announcement that entomol-
ogists are trying to develop a beetle
that will eat weeds—and nothing
else but weeds. At last, they will say,
science is trying to get to the root of
a problem that has plagued man for
centuries.
While science has contributed
many chemicals which have been a
major factor in the control of weeds,
it is still necessary to buy and apply
the chemical weed killers. And if
care is not taken to apply the recom-
mended dose in the right quantities
and at the right time, the weeds con-
tinue to grow as profusely as ever.
While a bug of some sort that
would work twenty-four hours a day
is something that everyone who has
ever used a hoe would delight in see-
ing, it probably is a little early to
throw away the hoes. The weed -eat-
ing beetle is still a dream bug—a fig-
ment in the imagination of the en-
tomologists. But even so, it's nice to
know that the problem of the man -
with the hoe is receiving some con-
sideration—even if it isn't likely to
be solved in the immediate future.

Weeklies Present Brief
The position the weekly press oc-
cupies in Canada was emphasized
last week when the Canadian Week-
ly Newspaper Association, repres-
enting more than five hundred week-
ly papers across Canada, presented,
through its directors, a brief to
Prime Minister St. Laurent and
Members of the Cabinet.
The brief, prepared in the Iight of
the experience of member papers, is
assessing the national picture as it
affects the smaller communities of
Canada, expressed concern by what
was referred to as a dangerous un-
balance between rural and urban
economies.
The brief pointed out that the C.W.
T.A. believes that every effort should
be made by management, govern-
ment and labor; by farmer, fisher-
xan, small businessman and large
corporation to increase production -
lot only as the most effective means
►f combatting inflation, but in the
interests of national defence.
The tendency to cut down on hours
f t cti p1aded an unfair economic
C ` , a1 Canada. Industry-
wide par boosts and price increases
in urban centres often meant longer
hoira or lower rates of pay or both
to those employed on farms, villages
and towns so that they could buy the
city produced goods.
Among rural producers, the laws
of supply and demand are still work-
ing in the main in a competitive mar-
ket. Rural residents therefore are
not in a position to meet on equal
terms the inflationary -pricing poli-
cies which have recently been evident
among semi -monopolistic urban lab-
or and management.
The brief said there is an increas-
ing number of idle farms at a time
when adequate food production is
our most vital resource.
The association has recommended:
1. An educational program in the
elements of economics. The associa-
tion would assist the Government in
a campaign to tell people what makes
prices go up and down and why in-
creased personal savings are import-
ant.
2. The Government use the weekly
press as an "educational medium" if
price and wage controls are adopted.
3. Dispersal of industry to remedy
the unbalance between our urban and
rural economies and redistribute
population more in line with existing
a
housing and school accommodation.

On Harnessing a Horse
Suggesting that the day may not
be far distant when contests will be
staged among farmers to decide who
can best identify and put together
the pieces of a, double set of harness,
The Farmer's Advocate recently told
the story of an Ontario farmer, who
asked his son to gostable to the and
get him a hamestrap. The son's re-
sponse was:
"What's a hame-strap?"
In the opinion of the Advocate, this
incident highlights two current prob-
lems. First, what are the farmers
going to do about the unused space
in their stables? There is a vast
amount of idle cubic feet in horse
barns and stables all across Eastern
Canada. Barn renovation and re-
designing will be the order of the day
,for the next ten years.
"The youth problem is a still more
interesting one. Will sons of the
farm be allowed to grow up without
the knowledge of horses and the
knack of good ,horsemanship?, In
Western Canada, yes. In the East-
ern provinces it will be regrettable
indeed if we deteriorate so badly,
that young farmers in the next quar-
ter century, at any rate, will not
know how to put a collar on a horse
or adjust the hames so the draft is
right."
Even where farmers are complete-
ly mechanized, the Advocate believes
there will be harness, or pieces of it,
hanging around the buildings for a
decade or two. Middle-aged farmers
will hang on to it for old time's sake.
In short courses and through private
tuition young people can be made ac-
quainted with the vital parts of the
equipment that was used when the
land was cleared and all these fine
homes and buildings were erected.
What Other Papers Say:
Pay -As -You -Grow!
(Edmonton Journal)
A landmark in the history of bar-
bering—and of justice—was reached
in England the other day. In the vil-
lage of Kingsteignton, the local bar-
ber has announced that, for custom-
ers who desire it, he will discard the
old flat -rate system for cutting hair
and charge by the time involved in
each case.
This is a bold solution of a prob-
lem which has vexed the profession
since the days of Samson and Del-
ilah. All men may be created equal
in other whys, but definitely not in
the matter of hair. The crop comes
in every degree of luxuriance, from
the flourishing jungle to the barren
desert. Yet, under the present sys-
tem, everyone pays the same charge,
whether the barber spend a solid half
hour hacking his way through the
underbrush, or finishes the job with
a couple of snips and a cry of "next!"
This is entirely unjust. It amounts
to a subsidy by the bald-headed citi-
zenry t6 the Tartan element. We are
glad to see an effort made to p'ht the
business on a fairer 'standard ---shall
We say a pad-aSiouygrow basis?
Canada Does Its Share
(By Rt. Hon, C. D. Howe, from a
speech to Commercial Club of Chi-
cago, February 27, 1951)
•
After reading current magazine
and 'newspaper articles about Can-
ada's war effort, and after talking
to some of my friends in this coun-
try, it seelued clear to -me that a
Canadian s'peakiug to his American
friends, should talk frankly and
fully about Canada's part in the de-
fence of the free world: I intend
to do so.
Some of you may think that we
Canadians are touchy, too ready to
reit the suggestion that we are
doing less than our duty In this
time of peril. That may be so,
but 1 doubt it. What I am con-
cerned about is that my American
friends should have a clear explan-
ation of the Canadian position, in-
cluding a statement of what we
are doing. If the facts are fully
known there will be less room for
misunderstanding or for misrepres-
entation.
We Canadians believe that the
good relations between our two
countries are founded on independ-
ence and mutual respect. We do
not expect the United States to
carry our burdens, even though it
has twelve times the population
and eighteen times the productive
strength. Your country has made
generous gifts and long-term loans
to most countries of the world, but
never to Canada. Canada has nev-
er asked you for other than occa-
sional short-term accommodation,
and Canada would never have ac-
cepted your gifts even had they
been offered to us. In fact we
have, out of our more limited
wealth, made our own gifts and
loans to less fortunate countries
during the post-war years.
So it is in this present period of
emergency. We expect to carry a
fair- share of the sacrifices and
costs of collective defence. On a
per capita basis we shall probably
carry more than many of our allies
The defence of our immense ter-
ritory by a population of 14,000,000
people presents a unique problem.
We must depend upon mobility, for
even if all our men of military age
were pressed into service, we could
tot hope to defend our sea coasts
aua our centers of population by
any static defence. Therefore, our
defence planning must emphasize
air power and sea power, air pow-
er to focus the defence on the
point of attack wherever it may be,
and sea power to protect our coasts
and our trade routes.
The normal backbone of our ac-
tive service infantry force is an
airborne brigade, highly trained
and specially equipped for warfare
in the northland, that can be mov-
ed with all speed and dropped by
parachute, if necessary, wherever
an attack may occur. Our static
defence includes fortifications for
our coastal eities and anti-aircraft
protection for our vital points. Our
permanent force is backed up by
a reserve army organized as a
skeleton of six divisions, well
equipped and ready for mobilization
on reasonable notice. In the past
two wars it has been our reserve
army thadt has produced the divi-
sions that have fought in Europe.
Canada's aims and objectives in
the present emergency are similar
to those of the American people.
We believe that the next eighteen
months constitute the period of
greatest danger to the free world.
We believe that war is not inevit-
able, but we believe that every of
fort must be put forth to arm with
all speed as the only possible
means of preventing war. We be-
lieve with you that the aggression
in the Far East must be resisted
until an honorable settlement can
be brought about, but we believe
that the greatest menace to North
America lies in Europe.
Canadian.,preparedness policy is
guided by one leading principle—
'to hake the most effective use that
can be made of the manpower and
resources at our disrpgsal. To put
it another way, we are concentrat-
ing our efforts, so far as possible,
upon doing those 'things which will
add maximum strength to the de-
fences of North America and of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion. That is the only policy that
makes sense for Canada or, for
that matter, for any other country
threatened with aggression.
The Canadian -government be-
lieves that the best place to meet
and defeat aggression is as far
away from Canada as possible. We
look upon collective measures for
defence by N.A.T.O. as part of the
defence of Canada, but at the same
time we are strengthening, as
quickly as possible, the defences
within Canada that are designed to
make North America itself able to
defend this continent against at-
tack from any quarter.
When the United Nations sent
.4) ut a call for free nations to send
armed forces to stop aggression in
Korea, Canada 1, immediately sent
three destroyers to Korea and sent
a squadron of heavy transport
planes to operate between America
and Korea. Canada acted without
delay to mobilize and place at the
disposal of the United Nations, a
brigade of 10,000 combat troops.
One battalion of these troops is
presently fighting in Korea and the
balance of the brigade is stationed
at Fort Lewis, Washington, ready
to move to Korea, or to Europe,
as the United Nations command
may recommend. A few days ago
we were asked to send to Korea
a further 5,000 troops with their
equipment, and this will be done
without delay. At home Canada is
building up her fighting strength
against whatever peril the future
may bring.
A Dollar for a Haircut
(By Lewis Milligan)
Everybody's doing it—at least,
everybody who belongs to an or-
ganized labor group is demanding
higher pay for their work or ser-
vices. The reason given for these
perennial demands is the high cost.
of living. 'Prices have gone up
since we had our last raise," they
say, and they proceed to push them
up further. 1 have been trying to
think of a theme-song•for this Com-
edy of Errors, and two have come
to mind, namely: "Climbing Up the,
Golden Stairs" and "I'm Forever
Blowing Bubbles."
These Golden Stairs, however,
are not golden; they may be_ gild-
ed, but they are made of paper,
and the climbers never get any
nearer the topbecause they are,
on a treadmill. In the old days the
treadmill was a form of punish -i
ment for criminals, but it is now
imposed on the innocent by the
High Courts of Labor. "Hope de -1
ferred maketh the heart sick," says
the proverb, and the workers in�
Britain are sick and tired of the
wage and price treadmill.
Blowing bubbles is a childish
pastime, and it • is a pleasant and
harmless one. We were fascinated
by those 'prismatic spheres as they
emerged from the bowl'of the pipe
and floated on the sunlit air. When
we tired of watching them floating
upward, we .had a contest to see
who could blow the biggest bubble.
"Oh! look at mine!" we would cry
in delight, as we blew a big one,
and it would burst before the other
boys could see it. But while there
was life there was soap, and we
went on blowing bigger and bigger
bubbles until we got out of breath.
It was all right as a pastime for
youngsters, but blowing big bubbles
is no good as an occupation for
grownups. Yet that is just what
the repeated inflation and deflation
of wages amounts to.
The barbers of Toronto are the
latest oldsters to engage in this
bubble -blowing contest, and they
have plenty of material at .hand for
suds. Not very long ago they in-
flated the price of a baircut from
50 to 75 cents, and while there was
no general outcry against the raise,
the hair -growers didn't like it, Now
the" barbers have raised the price
of a haircut to a dollar and a shave
to 75 cents, and their customers
are in a lather over it. But it is
an i11 bubble that blows nobody any
good, and one hardware store re-
ported that it had sgld out in a
day its entire stock of .hair -cutting
equipment — comb, scissors and
hand -clippers. These sold for the
price of two new haircuts and will
last indefinitely. The dollar -barber'
shops reported a steep falling -off in
business, while those that stuck to
the old price did a roaring trade.
My own thatch was due for a
trim, but I hesitated at paying a
dollar, and I was afraid that those
75 -cent barbers would shear me to
the scalp with the clippers and turn
me out like a newly -discharged
convict. Some of . my literary
friends are considering the forma-
tion of a Long -Haired League and
wearing flowing or bushy locks af-
ter the style of Tennyson and Dick-
ens. Samson's strength was in his
long hair, and it may well be that
the poor crop of really great writ-
ers in the last half century was
due to the Delilahs insisting upon

Eye Condition as a Characteristic
For Selecting Good Layers
A number of methods are in use
for selecting poultry breeding stock
for high egg production. It is well
known that selection for such
hereditary traits as egg size and
body size are effective in inereas-
ing egg size and body size of suc-
ceeding generations. The experi-
enced poultryman also.. recognizes
a number of factors which to him
indteete what is commonly referred
to as good body conformation. But
when •a given flock has been bred
for these various factors for a num-
ber of years, it is difficult to make
further progress.
In 1941 the White Leghorn flock
at the Dominion Experimental Sta-
tion, Saanichton, showed consider-
able variation in production be-
tween individual birds, while the
mortality rate was considerably
higher than seemed necessary. IL
A. Salisbury, poultryman in charge
of the flock, examined carefully
hundreds of birds looking for char-
a.cteristics which could be used as
a basis for culling poor layers and
those birds with poor liveability.
He noticed that good layers had
very bright eyes, while the eyes of
unhealthy birds were dull and he
wondered 11 this characteristic
ouk1 be used as a basis for class -
g the good, healthy layers on
the o nd, and the poorer ones
with a high mortality rate on the
other.
Applying this newly recognized
characteristics he classified the
Experimental Station flock into two
grades according to eye condition.
Grade 1 included birds which had
bright, clear, distinct and perfectly
round pupils, while the iris was a
solid reddish or light bay color.
The Grade 2 birds had pupils with
blurred edges which often ti ffu>3-
ed into the Iris. The iris of the
