Dr. Pleva's Visit
The recent visit of Dr. E. G. Pleva,
widely known town planning con-
sultant, to Seaforth, should do much
Its stress the necessity of there being
orderly municipal growth if the citi-
zens of a community are to obtain
maximum enjoyment and benefit
from their town. The members of
the Chamber of Commerce, who ar-
ranged Dr. Pleva's visit here, are to
be commended in having obtained an
objective opinion of the problems
facing the town.
As has been pointed out in these
columns on many occasions, the pro-
vision of additional facilities in .the
town should be considered, not piece-
meal, but in the light of what the re-
quirements might conceivably be in
years to come. The small additional
cost necessary to ensure that every
step taken will fit into a long-term.
program and that something done to-
day will not be a liability tomorrow,
is more than justified in the savings
that will accrue to those who will be
the citizens in later years. That
means a plan. It means, among oth-
er things, a study of land use and a
building by-law.
It is to be hoped that the Chamber
of Commerce will continue its inter-
est in the problem and provide the
impetus and direction necessary for
it to be solved.

Nobody denies that the cost of
things we have to buy is much high-
er today than was the case a few
years ago. But sometimes we for-
get that the price we are getting for
the things we sell is also a lot higher,
and that probably today we are bet-
ter off. The Moose Jaw Times -Her-
ald reminds us that while we may not
have any more money left over at
the end of the year, we certainly have
bought many articles and con-
veniences that in the old days we
couldn't afford.
The Times -Herald says: "It's all
very well to talk about the 'good old
days' when many things that enter
into the cost -of -living could be
bought for a fraction of today's price
and at that could not be bought by
?many. But what about the producers
of food in those days? The answer
is that they received for their pro-
ducts a return that was in line with
the prices they had to pay for what
they did not produce themselves.
"Back at the turn of the century
an Ontario farmer was very happy
when he made a success out of hog -
raising, and saw a possible $500 a
year added to his revenue.
"An example of the good old days
was the farmer in Goderich Town-
ship, Huron County, who 50 years
ago marketed eight seven -month-old
Yorkshire pigs which brought him
the net sum of $91.25.
"To secure this princely sum he
did many of the things that a hog -
raiser or swine -breeder of today has
to do, though of course there was no
scientific feeding of the pigs, for in
thele. days a hog was a hog. It was
not appraised for its food value or
whether it had a straight or a curly
tail. It was a porker, weighing
around 200 pounds, that would pro-
duce a certain quantity of meat, and
on the hoof was worth $11.40 or
slightly over five -and -one -half -cents
per pound.
- "Today the farmer marketing
eight porkers, weighing 200 pounds
each, might anticipate getting 28
',cents a pound for them, or a total of
$448 or $356.75 more than his grand-
father got for the eight pigs he sold.
To be sure that he got $448 the man
with the eight hogs today had to do
a lot of things that the farmer of 50
years ago 'didn't have to do. He has
to feed them the right way. They
Mustn't be too fat or too lean, just
right and marketed at the right time.
o, ei 'blishthe right time he has to
j
b e to judge what his hogs on
011'od :will 1ooklike when they are
banging as a carcass in the packing
pistil.
``r.a ;dfather :once or twice a day
picked 1p, the swill, pail at the back
door and carried it to the big trough,
mixed some bran and shorts. Prob-
ably two or three tunes a week he
went hunting over the 'back forty' to
find the pigs and drive them back up
the snake -fenced lane to the barn-
yard or orchard.
"After he had marketed them and
had the $91.25 tucked in the pocket
of his overalls, he bought the wife a
new mother-hubbard, lugged a hun-
dredweight of flour and another of
sugar and a chest of tea to the wag-
on, shouted `getap' at the plodding
team and headed for home through
the bush over a corduroy road in the
marsh and over the hill.
"That night after supper he prob-
ably told grandma what he had got
for the pigs and she probably said,
`That's an awful lot of money, dear;
come next Fall we can get a new pair
of blankets and a heater for the front
room and Johnny and Mary will get
new shoes_ Perhaps you can get a
new hat to go to the meeting with'."

Sauntering on the Highwaps
With fine Spring weather comes
the seasonal argument between those
who, particularly on Sundays, go for
a drive to see something, and those
who drive on the highways to get
someplace. The driver who is on his
way to spend the day with friends
indignantly tells of the worm -like
progress of the driver who, with his
family, is enjoying the scenery.
Of course it isn't possible to prop-
erly take in the sights of the coun-
tryside at this time of year, or at
any time, while travelling at fifty
miles an hour. The result is that one
set of motorists saunters along de-
laying other motorists who desire,
and. are entitled, to drive at a faster
speed.
Sometimes the police take a hand
and direct the sight-seeing motorist
to either hurry up or to pull off on a
sideroad for a few moments. They
are quite within their rights, of
course, since the law provides that
no motor vehicle shall be driven upon
a highway at such a slow rate of
speed as to impede or block the nor-
mal and reasonable movement of ,
traffic thereon, except when such
slow rate of speed is necessary for
safe operation, having regard for all
the circumstances.
While police intervention may
clear up the difficulty temporarily, it
can't be the answer. There is only
one solution for those who go for a
drive with the intention of enjoying
what they can see, and that is to use
only those roads on which there is
little traffic. And as far as this dis-
trict is concerned, that course, far
from proving troublesome, will re-
sult in a greater pleasure. Through-
out the district are many miles of
excellent township roads, in the main
free of heavy traffic; and along
which motorists may drive as slowly
as they wish without any danger of
impeding or delaying other traffic.
Not only are the roads good, buf the
views and scenery are, as a rule,
more pleasing than can be seen from
the main highways.
While we can have no sympathy
with the motorist who, going no-
where in particular, travels at sixty
or seventy milesan hour doing it,
the driver who observes the speed
-limit and is otherwise obeying the
rules of the road, should not be un-
necessarily impeded.
What Other Papers Say:
Meat Substitute
Fort William Times -Journal)
An enterprising cheese manufac-
turer is recommending `cheese chops'
as a meatless main dish. The recipe
calls for cheese, butter, mustard,
eggs, cracker crumbs, pepper and
salt, and chopped parsley. The mix-
ture is shaped to look Iike meat chops
and then fried over a low Beat till
lightly browned on both sides.
In these days of high meat costs,
the suggestion is a welcome one. But
from the standpoint of psychology,
the dish might be more pala4able to
the meat -eater if it were called a
block rather than a chop. His
thoughts would not then be turned to
the ;meat he is not going to get. '
oxnp+at Angler
(By Jannis Parker Day in the Christian Science Monitor)
The small, crow, waiting for the
bus or having a spare moment,
watches him with composite indul-
gent contempt and amusement. He
needs a shave, his trousers need
pressing—better, replacement—and
he never would be in demand for
a dentrifrice advertisement. All
these eight -balls ' notwithstanding,
he plies his vocation good humor-
edly and industriously.
It is the occupation itself which
so bemuses the spectators. And
yet it has its aspects: outdoor
work, no boss, no overhead once
the stickum-covered magnet or
weight on the string has been ac-
quired) and certainly no fear of
income taxes at any rate of inter-
est.
He stands peering down the grat-
ing, the sidewalk grating of New
York City. On some avenues these
gratings run on block after block.
Debris falls through. And coins.
That's what he's fishing for. Pat-
iently, he and the baited magnet
plumb the littered depths. Do his
gimlet eyes spy a penny, a nickel?
He trawls with the line and a tit-
ter ripples over the spectators. But
he finds no need for silence—his
"fish" will not be frightened away.
Such patience and perseverance
are commendable. In the towering,
stalagmite buildings that sheerly
rise on either side of the traffic -
spun canyon, men with vast for-
tunes intent on further vast for-
tunes, are perhaps • not displaying
such patience, such ease, such
pleasantness of disposition.
I, too, am waiting for the over-
due bus. A Well-dressed man be-
side me watehes the angler and
tells a companion that these "fish-
ermen" haul in their living every
week. It doesn't seem possible.
But with the typical American
championing of the underdog, I
fiercely hope the tattered, down -at -
the -heel codger will haul up a hand-
ful of pennies and set the smirk-
ing onlookers back on their well -
shod heels.
Ha!—has the angler spied a sil-
ver scale? His bent body evinces
carefui tautness. He plays the
catch caressingly with the baiting
magnet. The upstage audience
drawn in closer, seeing only torn
chewing gum wrappers, theatre
stubs, burnt out matches . . . the
catch has struck! Carefully, hand
over gnarled hand, he hauls it in,
the crowd according full, interest-
ed attention.
It is landed!—not a copper, not
a nickel, not a dime, but a Erne
shiny QUARTER!
I am delighted and so is the won -
over crowd. The oldcodger's grin
is triumphant with a touch of cock-
iness. As he pockets the cache,
he has actually put frozen assets
into circulation again.
But I'd better look where I'm
going—I'm getting pushed into the
bus backwards.
To The Editor
DAYLIGHT SAVING
Seaforth, May 7, 1951.
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: The saying, "It is bet-
ter late than never," applies to this
letter, but we feel the majority of
readers will agree with us if our
statement takes the proper course
and our Town Council looks at it
in the proper light.
Daylight. Saving Time in Seaforth
was the most confused topic with
fellow citizens during the week -end
of Sunday, April 29, they have ex-
perienced for some time. The citi-
zens read the proclamation notice
'which read in part: "Daylight
Saving Time, adopted for the Town
of Seaforth, during the period of
April 29, at 12:00 o'clock iA the
afternoon, to September 29, at
12:00 o'clock in the afternoon."
In speaking to many in this re-
gard, the general opinion was that
at 12:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
Daylight Saving Time came into
effect. As an example, we need
only mention that church services
were varied on that particular Sun-
day. Some were on Standard Time
;n the evening, and another on
D.S.T. in the evening. How many
of the public really understood
what was meant? What was the
actual time to change clocks? Why
the same confusion every year?
One has only to read other coun-
cil proclamations to see what is
really meant. In otherwords, it is
much plainer English. Town of
Clinton notice ran in part: "Time
effective in Clinton at 12:01 a.m.,
Sunday, April 29." Town of Exe-
ter, "Midnight, Sunday, April 29."
Town of Palmerston: "Effective as
of 12.01 o'clock a.m., on Sunday,
April 29.:' These three examples
do not mention the word "after-
noon," which caused the confusion,
There is a definite time stated in
their notices, and that is as it
should be. The public can under-
stand what is actually meant.
The Citizens of any town are en-
titled' to a definite explanation of
council business at any time, and
so It le boiled the Seaforth Council
in the!r next proclamation in re-
gard to Daylight Saving Time. -will
be more definite in stating the ex-
act time the citizens of Seaforth
should change their clocks ahead
or back.
A CITIZEN
For those who do not wish to
make the heavier investment in-
volved in the construction of a
more permanent type of rearing
house, the use of range shelters
offers a very satisfactory solution
for the raising of cockerels and
growing pullets, says 13. F. 'Pinney,
of the Experimental Station at
Charlottetown, P.E.I.
They can be used to advantage
in handling fattening stock and are
particularly useful as temporary
autumn quarters for stock that has
just finished its pullet -year of lay-
ing.
Almost always, in late summer or
early autumn, there is a period
when yearling stock has complet-
ed. laying—when quarters must be
cleaned and disinfected for the
new pullets being brought in from
range.
Space, as well as time, is always
at a premium at this season of the
year. With several range shelters
available the yearlings can be re-
moved to a nice piece of clover
range where they can enjoy a rest
and conditioning period prior to
being culled and selected for the
mating pens.
Range shelters offer an oppor-
tunity to expand the brooder house
capacity of many small producers.
Commonly only one, or at most
two, small brooder houses are in
use on the average farm. These
are used for rearing as well as for
brooding. If filled to capacity for
the brooding season they are hope-
lessly overcrowded later in the
season. If only sufficient birds are
brooded to permit carrying through
to maturity the houses are not ut-
ilized to full capacity in early sea-
son. Range shelters offer a solu-
tion to this problem.
A single 10x12 brooder house
with heater will rear three or four
times as many chicks as it will
house in the autumn. As rapidly
as they become crowded, move
them to cheap range shelters, thus
saving the cost of additional expen-
sive brooders and stoves,
Excellent detailed plans for shel-
ters are available from the Super-
intendent, Experimental Station,
Charlottetown, P.E.I.
Weed Control in Pasture
The carrying capacity of many
permanent pastures is restricted
by weeds. Indeed many permanent
pastures contain more weeds than
grass, and might better be called
weed nurseries than pasture fields,
says. Geo. Knowles, Field Husban-
dry Division, Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa. Usually there is an
assortment of weeds in an old pas-
ture; sometimes only o>i"e species
predominates, but whatever the
composition of the weed Infests -
tion, examination will show how
little room is left for grass and
clover to grow. If the weeds are
removed, grass and clover will
quickly occupy the vacant places
where the weeds have been.
A comparison of the stand of
grass and clover in an old pasture
where sheep are grazing, with a
similar .one in which cattle are
grazing, will show an amazing dif-
ference. The conclusion will be
reached, says Mr. Knowles, that a
flock of sheep is the cheapest and
best weed killer on the market.
Next to a flock of sheep, 2,4•D
is the cheapest and most effective
herbicide. This chemical may yet
prove as popular in Eastern Can-
ada for the control of weeds in
pastures, as it is in the Prairies
for their control in cereal crops.
When using a 2,9-D to control
weeds in permanent pastures it is
well to remember that for best re-
sults it should be applied when
the weeds are very young and suc-
culent. Throughout the greater
part of .Eastern Canada, May is
the month in which to apply 2,4-D
for control of pasture weeds. One
application of 11/2 pounds of 2,4-D
acid equivalent per acre applied at
the right time, will effectively con-
trol most of the weeds that invade
old pasture fields.
Canada thistle is one outstand-
ing exception to this general rule,
Mr. Knowles cautions. This weed
does not emerge until the soil
warms up, and so the best time to
use 2,4-D on Canada thistle in pas-
ture, is when the weed is in the
late bud or early bloom stage. One
application of. 1'y2 pounds of 2,4-D
acid per acre at that stage will
kill the top growth but not the
roots, and later in the season an-
other growth emerges. A second
application of the same amount of
2,4-D applied when this regrowth
has well emerged usually eradi-
cates Canada thistle.
The rate of 2,4-D application re-
commended for weed control in
permanent pasture temporarily
wipes out any clover that may be
present, but it comes back later in
the season.
These treatments will certainly
increase the carrying capacity of
an old weedy pasture, but to keep
the weeds out and maintain or in-
crease the capacity, fertilizer
should also be used to encourage
the growth of the more desirable
plants.
Short -Term Pasture Mixture
Grassland farmers have been
asking for a grass -legume mixture
that can produce a good first cut-
ting of hay during the first year
