PHONE 41 Authorized as Second Class Mail Post Office Department, Ottawa 1SEAFORTH, Friday, March 30, 1951 Value Received The city treasurer of Brantford in presenting his annual report to the ratepayers quite rightfully pointed out the value that is received for every dollar that is spent in that city. -*While the same situation obtains in almost every municipality, Iarge or small, across Canada, it is rarely one zees a municipal treasurer emphasiz- ing the fact as only he can do, in the light of his knowledge of the condi- tions in the municipality which he serves. He suggests that: "The Brantford taxpayers receives Snore for his tax dollar than for any ,other he spend. The average home- owner pays $100 annually. For this, Itis children are educated, police and Ere protection is provided, streets are well lighted, his health is protect- ed, his garbage is collected and dis- posed of, parks are maintained for Ills enjoyment, recreational facilities are provided for himself and family, and provision is made for the care of those unable to maintain themselves. 'These along with general services such as sewers, streets, sidewalks, etc., constitute an impressive array of values for the money paid. Here is concrete evidence that municipal government is the most efficient of all governments." Municipal money is spent where the people who provide it can see the purpose to which it is put. This fact, coupled with the benefit of a sound -council—one made up of individuals imbued with a sincere and objective desirel to advance the interests of their municipality—can, and in most cases does, result in the assurance that full value is being obtained for every dollar of tax money. • Inferiority Complex The thought that many Canadian towns suffer from an inferiority com- plex causes some concern to the Mid- land, Ont., Free Press. That such a situation exists is ap- parent, according to the Free Press, ifone accepts the opinion of the gen- eral manager of one of the province's larger trust companies. Before finally setting a loan quota for each new new municipality they enter, it has been his practice to chat with a number of Iocal merchants about general community outlook and business prospects. Very often he finds that the ma- jority of merchants would rather grouse than do anything else. They Suggest that business is not as good as it might be, that the industrial out- look is gloomy, that it is not like the good old days. Sometimes there are exceptions, and when there are enough of them, the Free Press points out, you find an exceptional town or city. "But unfortunately too often the grousers who watch Toronto or some other neighboring city or town grow- ing at what they think is a faster pace than his municipality are in the Zfiajority. "It does not help anyone to have an inferiority complex. New busi- nesses and new industries like to lo- cte in a town which is proud of it- self." If the individuals making up a community are not sufficiently proud of their community to stress its good points with visitors to it, then there little chance for it to become a ood community. And if the cam- Unity is as bad as such citizens iuld like to believe it can only be eCause they attd others like them o, failed to assume their proper ids as citizens and have refused to co-operate with or initiate plans de- signed to correct the situation of which they complain. As the! Free Press concludes: "In- feriority complexes, exercised too much, often bring about inferior con- ditions." • Everybody's Battle If the battle against high prices— inflation—is to succeed, it will be be- cause of the wholehearted support of everybody. It is not enough to urge Governments to do their part. All who contribute to inflation by spend- ing money have a part to play. The Winnipeg Free Press empha- sizes that this essential point is made very clear by Mr. Graham Towers, Governor of the Bank of Canada, in his annual report. He warns the pub- lic against a "competitive race" among consumers for the limited supply of goods, pointing out that the winners in such a race will be those groups in the community who are in a position to command more than the average increases in the prices of their goods and 'services. The special winnings of these spe- cially -favored groups will come di- rectly out of the pockets of everyone else. "The greatest contribution that the individual citizen can make in the present inflationary period is to cut down his or her expenditures where - ever possible and save money against a future time of plenty," the Free Press warns. "It may well be that moneythus saved will go down some- what in value but any loss of this kind will be much less than the loss which will result from everybody bidding up present prices in an effort to buy goods which are simply not there to be bought." What Other Papers Say: Parking Restrictions (IngersoII Tribune) Council is to be congratillated on their plan, in conjunction with the police department, to erect no -park- ing signs and enforce no parking on streets adjacent to our various school grounds. Perhaps motorists are not aware of the fact, but it is unlawful tic park in such areas, the Highway Traffic Act stating it is un- IawfuI to park "between '8.30 a.m. and 4.30 p.m. on the side of any street adjacent to the grounds of any pub- lic or separate school on any day when such school is in session." • By -Pass the Cities (Waterloo Chronicle) There are to be no cities on the pro- posed new Ontario super -highway. Regardless of how much pull or how much effort cities are prepared to put into the effort they just haven't got a chance of having this new road run- ning through their community. For a change those responsible for build- ing the roads through and across this country are thinking about those who pay for the roads, the owners and drivers of motor cars. This new highway will be built to facilitate travel and to improve the safety angle of driving. At present the highways in Ontario run through at least the suburbs of every little vil- lage and hamlet along their route. • Machines Are Not Enough (Hamilton Spectator) Electric gadgets are not capable of looking after all the daily chores. They will not feed chickens, draw the water from wells, tend to the kitchen garden, prepare the poultry for mar- ket, keep the house spic and span or do the mending. There is more to a big Monday's washing than a purring machine. It takes a good pair of arms to get the clothes on the' line and bring them in when they are dry. The hired man and a horse or two are still indispensable, despite that imposing array of power equipment in the implement shed. The hired girl is just as essential. Not much is heard about her. Per- haps she is too busy to do much talk- ing about herself. But the rural scene would be lost without her. It is time that her importance was re- cognized. Migration from Ontario to Manitoba in 1871 (By James J. Tatman, in the Janu- ary issue of the Ontario Historical Society) 'Ho! for Manitoba—the whole cry here is Red River. Several families are to leave in June.' This quotation in The Huron Expositor, of Seaforth, Ontario, 21 April, 1871, referred specifically to Howick Township, Huron County. But 'go- ing west' must also have been the main topic of conversation in the barber -shops and around the groc- ery -store cracker barrels in many another township of Western On- tario, if newspaper accounts of de- partures for the west may be used as evidence. The file of the Mani- toban, publisheddin Winnipeg, 1870- 1887, abounds in references to the migration from Western Ontario to Manitoba and the newspapers of Western Ontario tell the same story. The Huron Expositor, 2 June, 1871, showed that in reality all parts of Ontario supplied emi- grants. 'Indeed,' said an editorial, 'it is almost impossible to pick up a paper frim any county in Ontario in which will not be seen accounts of large parties having left, or who contemplate leaving to seek their fortune in that fertile, but distant country.' But the majority appear to have gone from Western On- tario. The arrival of the vanguard of this great movement is described in the Manitoban, 29 April, 1871. The narrative shows, as tradition leads one to expect;, that Huron and Bruce counties were in:; the fore- front. The newspaper headline makes clear the trail -breaking sta- tus of this group. 'Opening of Nav- igation.' 'First batch of emigrants arrived.' The account went on 'The advanced guard of the great army of Emigration which we ex- pect, arrived on the morning of the 26th inst. (April). They left Can- ada about four weeks previously, but, having business which detain- ed them here and there on the way, did not arrive till the period we have named. Their names are Roderick McDonald and Alex Rob- ertson, from Greenock, Bruce; John Johnson, Winchester, Dundas, Ot- tawa; and Robert Clark, John Mc- Kinnon, William Gerrond and Thos. Savage, of Seaforth. AIthough they had some difficulties en route, and travelled under many disadvantag- es owing to the season, the party came through in the best of health and spirits, having thoroughly en- joyed themselves and feeling the better for their journey.' The group travelled by the Grand Trunk Railway to St. CIoud, Min- nesota, each paying $20 rail fare. At St. Cloud they hired a double wagon for $50 which took them to Fort Abercrombie, Minnesota, from where it was possible to saiI down the Red River to Fort Garry. They acquired a flat boat and left •Fort Abercrombie on the 10th and ar- rived at their destination on the 26th. The newspaper account says 'But for the difficulty they experi- enced in cutting their way through the ice with axes in some places, they might have arrived three days sooner.' The trip was inexpensive, about $27 per man, plus food. Since lum- ber was selling for $70 per thou- sand, they were'able to get more for the boat in which they arrived, than they had paid for it. The par- ty expected to settle on the land but, as some were skilled carpen- ters, they expected to work at that trade for a time. When interviewed by the Press, the travellers expressed themselves as highly satisfied with the land as far as they had seen it, and said that it was much superior to the land they had left. Some had sold their holdings in the east, while others planned to see how they lik ed the west before they cut all their earlier ties. If they were satisfied, they planned to return east to sell their property, and then go back to the west for good. They also said many more immigrants could be expected from the places from which they had come. Indeed. their party had been larger when it started, but several had waited in Iowa for the season to advance. There were easier, if more ex- pensive ways for the settlers to` travel, for the same issue of the Manitoban, 29 April. announced that oa that day the Selkirk had arrived on her ,first voyage from Abercrombie to. Winnipeg. This vessel was owned by J. J. Hill, of St. Paul, a native 'of Rockwood, Ontario, who was to become the famous railway builder. The Mani- toban, 6 May, 1871, announced, 'Among the passengers by the Sel- kirk, on the 29th April the follow- ing were from Seafgrth and left there on the 10th April: Francis Nelson, Thomas Morrison, John Sellars, Peter McDonnell, W. Smith. The following were from London, Ontario: W. Dickson, Samuel Mar- lott and David Adams.' It may be noticed in passing that the editors assumed that everybody in Winni- peg knew that Seaforth was in On- tario, but that London had to be identified. On 3 June, 1871, the Manitoban told of the arrival of a party of seven from Kent county. They re- ported having overtaken twenty wagon -loads of emigrants at Turtle River. The account of the arrival of the Selkirk in the Manitoban, June 17, gives a good idea of the extent of this westward movement: "The Selkirk arrived at this port about 8 o'clock in the evening of the 13th, loaded down to the wa- ter's edge with.Jreight and passen- gers. She presented a most extra- ordinary appearance, coming into port, having in tow a bargefell of horses, her decks being 'thronged with passengers, and every avail- able space, even to the hurricane - deck, being filled with freight of every description. The fore part of her lower deck was piled up with wagon -wheels, to pretty near- ly the height of the flag staff, and the guards of the upper deck were so hung,.round with wagon -boxes as to give her passengers the appear- ance of screening themselves be- hind barricades. A large number of persons went down to the steam- boat landing to» see her arrival. The barge had 40 horses aboard. "There were families from the townships of Warwick, Adelaide, Lobo. from near Sarins (Sarnia), from Owen Sound and other quar- ters ... Of the new arrivals, most of them appear to be of the better class or Canadian farmers. Some are intending to remain; others are here as pioneers, come to see this good land. They wiIi return and come back again with other col- onies, now awaiting their report as to prospects in Manitoba. They appear to be a highly respectable class of men—snen of sufficient means to encounter the inevitable privations incidental to first set- tlement- They bring with them im- plements of husbandry of every description and are said to be worth generaIIy from $500 to $2,000 a piece. "Judging by their own statement they conte out very sanguine as re- gards the prospects of the country, and nothing of what they have seen as yet on approaching it, has damped their ardor. They speak seriously- of a number as large as 20,000 of some of the best farming population of Canada following their footsteps soon. A very intel- ligent member of the party gives it as his opinion that farmers who are the pride of Canada west, will conte out here in numbers." This particular group was head- ed for Portage la Prairie. In addi- tion to being good farmers, they took with them stock 'of a very superior description.' The reporter noticed two stallions, a pure bred Durham bull, as well as a cow and two yearling heifers of the same quality. The immigrants were en route to Winnipeg, with a large quantity of stock. One lot consist- ed of between 300 and 400 oxen and cows. Some of the arrivals who had not brought cattle with them were forced to return to Min- nesota to purchase them as there were none for sale in Manitoba. The Sarnia Canadian, 26 May, 1871, gave a similar, account of the numbers and high quality of the migrants. An article in that paper, reprinted in the Manitoban, 24th June, reported: 'The exodus from Ontario to Manitoba still continues We see by many of our ex- changes that from all parts of the province, numbers of 'well-to-do farmers, whose inheritances here have become too strait for them- •(Contlnued on Page 3) New Oat Variety For Ontario A new early -maturing variety of oats, called Lanark, is being re- leased this Spring by the Cer- eal Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, for growers in east- ern Ontario. It has limited adap- tation and is being recommended only in eastern Ontario areas where rust is prevalent, and early maturity and good straw are of special importance. Certain areas in eastern Ontario suffer heavy losses from oat 'rust almost every year, almost entirely because of the presence of the com- mon barberry or 'buckthorn near the oat crop. On these shrubs rust spores develop in the spring before attacking the oat crop, Until these shrubs, which are more plentiful in some areas than in others, are destroyed; rust -resistant varieties must b4 used if the crop is to be grown economically. R, A. Derrick of the Cereal Divi- sion at the Central Experimental Farm, declares it is now easy to develop new varieties resistant to rust, and, at the same time, with wide adaptability to different soil types and fertility levels, New varieties are often found to hate narrow limits of adaptability and cannot safely, be recommended out- ' Iw +e.:,,.,: 1te side of these limits. The new var- iety Lanark is in this class. Lanark is early maturing with straw of average size, height and good lodging resistance. The grain is medium large and moderately thin -hulled. It is not a heavy ut- tering variety and with its earli- ness and lodging resistance may prove valuable foe use in a mixture with barley or as a nurse crop for seeeing down grasses and clovers., The grain has a brownish discolor- ation which resembles a glume blotoh. This discoloration is not caused by a disease organistn, but is a varietal characteristic. Lanark is resistant to smut and has moderate resistance to crown or leaf and stem rusts. All available seed of this variety has been disposed of this year, but interested farmers should have no trouble locating sources of seed for 1952, says Mr. Derick, Growers who have common bar- berry or buckthorn growing along fences or within Short distances of an oat crop would do well to take steps to have these shrubs remov- ed or killed by chemlbal sprays. * e * ....
