Municipal Licenses
Discussion at a recent council
meeting of prevailing license rates in
Seaforth points out the fact that Sea -
forth requires licenses from fewer
types of business than do many other
communities.
Not so long ago there appeared in
the Barrie Examiner a display ad-
vertisement drawing attention to the
fact that current licenses must be
purchased at once. Then follows a
Ion list of the licenses that must be
ocured. The list includes the fol-
lowing: Automobile wrecking yards,
billiard and pool tables, bowling al-
leys, barber shops, butcher shops,
coal, coke and wood dealers, • cigar-
ette, cigar and tobacco, dairies, dance
Halls, dogs, dry cleaners, electricians,
hairdressing establishments, junk
yards, Iaundries, plumbers, second-
hand stores, trucks, taxi and other
vehicles for hire, taxi drivers, the-
atres, used car lots and dealers.
The requirement that licenses be
procured annually in order to do
business in a municipality stems out
of the fact that the municipality has
a responsibility to its citizens to en-
sure that business is conducted un-
der proper supervision. One won-
ders if in the case of Barrie, Iicenses
are imposed on the basis of providing
revenue rather than as a means of
providing proper supervision.

.There is a Solution
One of the numerous pleasant
tasks attendant upon be.ng associat-
ed with a weekly newspaper is the
opportunity of listening to a variety
of problems and troubles from citi-
zens in various walks of life.
One of the topics which is raised
every year at the time mail order
catalogues, •or other city advertising
material is distributed in town, con-
cerns the resulting business which is
lost to local merchants.
- Discussing the matter in its week-
ly feature, "Once Over Lightly," the
Kincardine News points out that "the
independent merchant can success-
fully buck chain store and mail or-
der competition. If he wants to. It
takes more than mere lamentations.
For example, one of the strong points
of the mail order firms is that mer-
chandise is returnable and money re-
funded. Without argument, too. But
try and return something to some in-
dependent merchants. Even suggest
that there is something not satisfac-
tory with the product they have sold
and Bang! You're an ingrate, a
saboteur, perhaps even a Commun-
ist."
Some independents also operate in
the fashion in favor three-quarters
of a century ago, The News goes on
to say. Their stores are unattrac-
tive, their merchandise is poorly dis-
played, and the store adorned with
advertising bills of long past events,
fly specks from last summer and win-
dows designed, evidently, to keep
light out rather than let it in. They
Also believe in economizing in the
%Samount of hydro consumed.
"And finally, they do not advertise.
"Aside from the fact that a news-
paper lives on advertising, the mer-
chant who fails to make known to the
public��what he has to offer, is doing
himself and his customers, actual and
potential, a disservice, as well as
playing directly into the hands of the
firms about which he grumbles loud-
est.
"The shopping public of this area
IS as smart as that of any other dis-
i
trict. If they know they can obtain
the merchandise they want, at a rea-
sonable price, from their home mer-
chant they will give him their busi-
ness. But if he hides his light under
a bushel -by failing to acquaint them
with the fact that he has merchan-
dise, they can hardly be blamed for
giving their custom to some one else
who has it and keeps them appraised
for the fact"
The News sums up the problem:
"The independent merchant can not
expect to get all the business, but if
he wishes, he can get the lion's share.
It's up to him to do something about
it, rather than go into lengthy damn-
ing discourses about the opposition
he considers so palbably unfair, but
which, is trying to do what he refus-
es to undertake."

Walking and Health
We have always held the opinion
that there was a direct relationship
between health and exercise, and
that there was no better form of ex-
ercise than a good brisk walk. We
were particularly interested, there-
fore, in an editorial which appeared
recently in the Guelph Mercury.
In Syracuse, the Mercury says, is
a man well up in his seventies who
experiences remarkable health. He
has not had so much as a cold in the
last three decades, has a hearty appe-
tite, active digestive organs that do
their work efficiently, and never a
sleepless night. He is, you might
say, in the "pink" at an age when
most men are faltering. And he
credits his physical fitness, his gen-
eral all round good health to regular
exercise. He makes it a point to walk
at least 10 miles a day, rain or shine.
A good brisk walk is his tonic.
"When a man of sedentary occu-
pation finds his vitality low, or im-
agines that his liver is cutting up cap-
ers, the usual procedure is to gulp
down gallons of mineral water, swal-
Iow some pills and bitter herbs, and
take a little exercise. Very often he
wiIl erect a pulley or weight in his
sleeping room, and each night and
morning will yank at the business end
of it for a stipulated number of
times. Not for anything would he
exceed the requisite number of mo-
tions, and with painful monotony he
lives up to his part of the exercise
euro. But health isn't manufactured
that way.
"The man who walks for any dis-
tance nowadays is regarded• as a lit-
tle `funny.' Friends move over and
make room for him in the back seat
of their cars; they give him a `lift'
on his way, out of pity.
"Even the people in the country
are losing the walking habit. Two or
three miles to school used to be
thought nothing unusual for the
country boy or girl. Now the agita-
tion is for a bus for a ride.
"This Syracuse pedestrian trudg-
es off miles by the hundreds. His
strength and endurance at an age
when the average man is full of ail-
ments and confined to his fireside are
a revelation of what a ripe and vig-
orous old age means for any man or
woman."
What Other Papers Say:
A Dog's Intentions
(Kingston Whig -Standard)
For many years the adage that a
dog is entitled to one bite has been
generally accepted. We seem to re-
call that such a decision actually had
been handed down in a United States
court. At any rate, the idea seemed
to be that a dog should not be re-
garded as vicious until it had bitten
more than one person.
We think the adage is sheer non-
sense, and we are glad to learn that
our views on the subject have been
confirmecb by a verdict of the On-
tario Court of Appeal. Three per-
sons, all named as owners of a dog
which had bitten -(''girl, appealed
against a judgment ordering them to
pay $1,000 hospital expenses and
general damages.
The appeal was dismissed, and the
court ruled that it was not the bite
itself that counted, adding that "all
that is necessary is an irresistible in-
ence of the dog's vicious>propensity"
to biting.
Your Chances for Survival
(From the Statistical Bulletin of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company)
In the relatively short .space of
a half century, the expectation of
lite at birth in the United States
has increased from 49 to 68 years.
This improvement 'has brought a
material increase in the chances
of reaching the ages which usually
tuark the milestones of one's life.
Currently, the likelihood that a
new-born child will live through
infancy and the pre-school period
is exceptionally good. According
to the mortality, conditions of 1948,
about 96 in 100 will survive from
birth to age six. The prospect of
celebrating a sixth birthday was
much less favorable at the turn of
the century, wihen almost one-fifth
of the babies died before reaching
school age. Most boys and girls
spend the ages from six to 18 ob-
taining an education. These 12
years of life have always .been fav-
ored with a relatively low mortal-
ity rate. Even at the turn of the
ce.ttury the chances were 96 in
100 that a child six years of age
would Live to celebrate its 18th
birthday; by 1948 the probability
of reaching the age when gainful
employment usually begins .had
risen to 99 in 100.
Entry into the labor force is gen-
erally followed by marriage soon
thereafter. The chances for sur-
vival during this period of life—
ages 18 to 23 for men—are ex-
tremely good. It should be noted,
however, that the age for entry
into the Iabor force has been ris-
ing during recent decades while
the age at marriage has been de-
clining. Thus, the brief interval
from first employment to marriage
is r.airowing, and the prospects of
living through it are better than
they were decades ago.
Throughout life, the chances for
survival are more favorable for
women than for men. It is particu-
larly fortunate that the mortality
among young men is very low be-
cause many of them carry the re-
sponsibility of nurturing a young
child; currently about one in ev-
ery .two couples has a child within
two years of marriage. Thereaf-
ter, for a period of about 26 years
—that is, until the last child is
HERE'S HEALTH
0 0 II
married—death takes an increas-
ing toll. However, even within
this period of life substantial gains
in survivorship have resulted from
the decline in mortality since 1900.
At the turn of the century, a wo-
man aged 23 years had 80 chances
in 100 of .surviving to her 49th
birthday; now the figure is better
than 94 in 100.
Men normally spend a major por-
tion of their lifetime in gainful em-
ployment; they are the principal
breadwinners in most American
families. Thus, a man's survival
during the period when there are
dependent children iu the .family is
of great social and economic im-
portance. What is the likelihood
that a, man will survive from his
23rd to his 52nd birthday, the us-
ual interval from marriage to the
time the last child leaves the fam-
ily? At •preseut, the chances are
about 88 in 100; at the turn of the
century they were only 74 in 100.
Another interesting consideration
is the probability that a young man
just entering employment will at-
tain retirement age. On the basis
of current mortality, the chances
of survival from age 18 to 65 are
66 in 100; according to the mortal-
ity conditions in 1900-1902, the cor-
responding figure vias only 51 in
100.
The outlook for years of life af-
ter the age of retirement is more
favorable than is generally realiz-
ed. The chances are now about 58
in 100 thatmen at age 65 will live
at least 10 years longer. For their
wives the chances of surviving this
period are even greater because
first, the average wife is younger
than her husband and, second, the
mortality among, women is lower
than that among men at every age
period.
The results shown here have im-
portant implications. There is al-
ways some chance that the head of
the family may'' not live until his
children become self-supporting, or
until the mortgage on his home is
paid, or other obligations to de-
pendents have been met. Even
greater is the probability that the
wife will outlive the husband. At
the same time, the chances of sur-
viving beyond the age of retire-
ment are .quite substantial.
Hole In the Dyke
(By Joseph Lister Rutledge)
A new factor has interjected it-
self into our already complicated
price structure. It is a variation
on the "short supply" theme. It
might be called "panic demand."
During the last war we called it
hoarding. It is the hole in the
dyke that might spell disaster.
When the dyke is already under
pressure this seemingly small ex-
tra hazard is crucial.
The best evir ence that this is a
formidable threat comes from
Macy -'s. the New York department
store that proudly claims to be the
world's largest. A short while ago
t was reporting that it had passed
its former record of a million dol-
lars in sales in a single day. Only
a short time ago it took paid page
newspaper space to urge its cos.,
tourers to curtail their purchases.
This didn't represent any change
'n business policy but only recog•
-
nition that "fear buying" might
complicate disastrously an already
bedevilled price structure. The
advertisement stated boldly that
its customers, and probably the
customers of most other stores,
were not only buying more than
usual, due to the fact that they had
more money to spend, but were
buying more than experience prov-
ed they needed or could use. The
conflict in Korea, .the threat of pos-
sible war in Europe, the ever-pres-
ent shadow of the atomic bomb
were all ,helping to set fear com-
plexes in motion and encouraging
the instinctive reaction to prepare
for the worst by hoarding.
"Buy nothing out of fear," urged
Macy's advertisement. "Buy only
what you need or can use, but don't
buy an extra thing because of
'what night happen.' There are
goods enough to satisfy your needs.
But there can never be goods en-
ough to satisfy your fears."
We are all so confident that there
is some sort of conspiracy to in-
crease prices that we are ready to
point fingers of suspicion at anyone
but ourselves. The producer and
the retailer are, perhaps, natural
suspects for they handle the goods
on their way to us. It is hard for
them to ,prove that neither likes
run -away prices, neither can hope
to benefit from them. If the world's
largest retailer is attempting to dis-
courage business it is because of
the recognition that extremes of
buying on a depleted market mean
hazard and hardship for all. That
hazard and hardship are the sky-
rocketing prices that we create for
ourselves.

The progress made in promoting
:he warble fly campaign in Huron
County during the past few weeks
has •been most encouraging. Hul-
lett 'Township Council passed the
by-law at a special council meeting
on March 12, and are now making
final plans to carry out the treat-
ing of all cattle in the township.
Colborne Township Federation of
Agriculture has been circulating
the petition in that township. They
will no doubt secure the necessary
vote, and be able to place that
township within the area where
treatment to kill the warble fly is
being carried on.
Under the Warble Fly Act, treat-
ment must start early in April. A
school of instruction will be held in
the Agricultural Board Room in
Clinton on Tuesday, March 27, to
familiarize inspectors, spray men,
and members of township councils
with the work they will have to do.
If a good kill is secured in all areas
this year it will go a long way to-
ward eradicating this costly pest.
During the past year the Federa-
tion of Agriculture has on many oc-
casions met members of municipal
councils throughout the county.
With very few exceptions, We have
received the beat co-operation that
could be desired. We need the co-
operation of the municipal authori-
ties and in turn we can be of great
assistance to them by promoting
an active interest In ,the affairs of
the townships and county.
While promoting the warble fly
campaign, I have had many farm-
ers express the desire to have
a calf hood vaccination campaign
started within the County of Hur-
on. Many farmers have suffered
heavy losses through the prevar
]ence of bangs disease in their cat -
the fortunate farmers that has es-
caped the loss inflicted by this dis-
ease, but you are always in danger
of having your herd infected while
diseased cattle are located within
a few rods of your farm. You can
make this campaign a reality by
presenting your views to your local

ture, or through your Farm Forum

Good Pre -Lambing Nutrition Pays
Inadequately nourished ewes pro-
duced lambs approximately one
pound lighter at birth than well-fed
ewes and the mortality in the light-
er lambs was three to four times
higher, it has been shown in exper-
iments conducted by S. B. Wil-
liams at the Department of Agri-
culture's Animal Husbandry Divi-
sion, Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa. A ewe that lambs in poor
condition often does not have en-
ough milk to ensure maximum lamb
gains, Mr. Williams added.
One of the most critical times in
the yearly cycle of sheep husban-
dry is the period from mid -preg-
nancy to lambing. During this time
the rapidly developing foetus is
making increasingly greater de-
mands on the dam. While the ewe
can deplete her body reserves to
nourish the unborn young, it is
false economy to let this happen, so
great care should be taken in the
food given during this pre -natal
period.
Good quality legume or mixed
hay should be the basis of the
sheep ration. if sufficient good
hay is not available for the entire
winter -feeding period, the inferior
hay should be fed first. Roots and
silage add succulence to the diet
and .are welcomed by the sheep.
However, the feeding of corn sil-
age should be discontinued three or
