SEAFORTH, Friday, May 18, 1951
speeding In Towns
High on the agenda of Seaforth
!Council during recent meetings has
been the matter of speeding on Sea -
forth streets—particularly on Gode-
rich Street, which forms a portion of
No. 8 Highway as it passes through
town.
It is no new problem that faces
• the council. Each year, it seeins, dis-
respect for speed laws within the
town grows worse. And while it is
suggested that through traffic is
primarily responsible for the most
flagrant breaches, this is not always
true. Local residents who feel they
are so familiar with the streets that
they can afford to take chances, of-
ten are regular offenders.
While the situation in Seaforth is
serious, this town is not alone in the
problem it faces. Mitchell Council
spent some time reviewing the mat-
ter at a recent meeting and authoriz-
ed the use of a mechanical speed in-
dicator in order to gather evidence
against offenders. • In. Kincardine,
ylawthe Council is preparing a new by-
law
in an effort to aid enforcement
of speed laws within the municipal-
ity.
Local police are to be commended
en the manner in which they are
checking on traffic. While this watch-
' fulness on the part of the police—
and the summons which will follow
--are-rice-e-ssary— to any safety pro-
gram, individual motorists must
themselves assume a greater re-
sponsibility than they have in the
past if serious accidents within the
town are to be avoided.

.New Sources of .heat
Perhaps if people continue to think
of new sources of heat and find prac-
tical ways of harnessing them, it
won't be long before those of us in
the snow belt can face winter with-
out worrying about buying coal or
oil.
In Sweden a farmer with eighteen
cows has managed to keep his family
warm all winter. And not only do
the cows provide heat—they also con-
tinue their primary function and
give milk, too.
The cows don't know it, but while
they relax, their body heat is collect-
ed and piped 40 yards to the farm
house where it keeps five rooms nice
and warm.
Engineer Marten Blomquist start-
ed the experiments two and a half
Fears ago for a Swedish state re-
search committee for farmyard
workers. He said he found that one
cow produces between 17 and 20
pounds of steam and about 80,000
British thermal units every 24 hours.
Now an Ontario engineer propos-
es employing the latent heat of Lake
Ontario's deep waters to provide an
"all season" St. Lawrence seaway.
While the suggestion which was ad-
vanced had particular reference to
the St. Lawrence, if the waters of
Lake Ontario could provide heat suf-
ficient to prevent ice in that water -
;way, it is not beyond the realm of
possibly that there may be left over
enough hest to keep warm at least
sdlr1 homes. We don't know the en -
bring problems involved, nor the -
own cost, but it may well be

Wives Live Longer
Prospects for an early marriage
for the average American girl are
improving each year, according to a
review presented in the Metropolitan
Life Bulletin. While the statistics
on which the review is based are
those of the United States, the tfend
which they indicate is also said to be
prevalent in Canada.
There are now about 38,000,000
married women in the United States,
an increase of some 8,000,000 since
1940. American wives are relatively
young—two-fifths are under 35 years
of age and only one-sixth are over
55 years.
One of the factors influencing a
girl's chances of becoming a wife is
her educational attainment — the
more schooling the lower are her
chances of marriage. Thus, in 1947
the proportion ever married among
women at ages 35-44 was almost 95
per cent for those who had complet-
ed less than seven years of school,
compared with about 90 per cent for
the high school graduates, and with
83 per cent for women with at least
one year of college.
Perhaps as many as two out of
every three American women were.
employed at some time before they
married. Many of them continued to.
work after marriage in order to sup-
plement their husband's earnings
until the baby came.
According to the mortality of the
white population in 1948, the expec-
tation of life is 40 years for the hus-
band and 49 years for the wife. Their
joint expectation of life is 36 years.
This is substantially greater than the
expected joint lifetime at the turn of
the century. In 1900 the average mar-
riage at these ages would have en-
dured only 28 years before one of the
spouses died.
When a marriage is dissolved by
death, it is the wife who is likely to
survive; currently the odds are two
to one that the wife will outlive her
husband.
Forty Minutes More a Day
Canada's Minister of Finance, in
a• recent address, suggested that if
each of us would work an addition-
al forty minutes a day, the threat of
inflation would be met and our high
standard of living maintained. In
the suggestion, he paid re-
cognition to the fact that basic cause
of inflation is the desire to obtain a
higher standard of living on the one
hand, without at the same time pro-
viding for an increased productivity.
The Ottawa Citizen finds the sug-
gestion to be practical, when it says:
"Mr. Abbott's suggestion that an
extra 40 minutes of work by Cana-
dians, each day will safeguard our
present standard of living lends it-
self to the easy and obvious criticism
that it takes no account of the lower-
ed productivity of fatigued workers
or the possibility that raw materials
will not always be available to make
such extra work advantageous. Nev-
ertheless such objections should not
be allowed to obscure the basic truth
of the finance minister's statement.
With 10 per cent of Canada's present
goods and services diverted to de-
fence production; Canada must con-
sume 10 per cent less or produce 10
per cent more if present inflationary
tendencies are to be checked. He fav-
ored the second of the two alterna-
tives. In mentioning a 40 -minute in-
crease in daily labor he was not so
much advocating a working formula
for increasing production as pointing
up a crucial aspect of the consump-
tion -production relationship. If there
is any doubt an the question, it will
be dispelled by his budget speech
statement that `greater output is not
just a matter of each of us working
harder or longer.' The United States
has been able to produce more than
other countries haye while observing
a shorter working week.
"The minister's approach to the
problem seems, to be rather more re-
alistic than either the one-sided ad-
vocacy of price controls without ac-
companying restrictions and regula-
tions on the one hand,' or the -propos-,
al of a wage freeze without any oth-
er interference to the national econ-
omy o1'1 the other."
"Wipe Those Feet"
(By John Gould in The Christian. Science Monter)
4
amass
In a moment of keen observation
Mother remarked), "This time of
year the best broom Is a shovel."
It's mud season again, and while
the rest of us get the blame for it,
I think the dog brings in most of
the dirt. He doesn't wear rubbers
apd such, and we haven't been able
to teach him to wipe his feet.
I notice the world is changing,
and new ideas have devoted fol-
lowers, but that mud season con-
tinues to be about the same. Back
of Mother's indignation would lie
some happiness over this, too, be-
cause she knows as wh11 as any-
body that the winds will blow with
rugged persistence for a while
now, and the mud will dry up, and
then we'll have summer. It's good
to have something which is always
so, and which you can rely on in
spite of politics and social better-
ment.
The only change is in the road
out front, and that is probably a
good thing._ But there is one aspect
of that which I think may not be
wholly for the better. It's a mat-
ter of attitude among men.
Years ago our road was the pro-
duct of utter necessity, and had no
particular aspects of pleasure. It
was d)ry between Fourth of July
and Labor Day, and even a load of
hay behind oxen would stir up a
dust that browned adjacent vege-
tation. In the winter the snow fell
and stayed there, and in the spring
came mud. We had no traffic
howling by and no crying need for
expensive grooming. You went
somewhere by slow stages. When
mud season came you just quit us-
ing the road, and a complacency
descended on people's ambitions.
Now right by our driveway was
and is a ledge. It is a deep-seated
affair, designed in the beginning
for permanency. It exudes a
spring of living water which, in
former times, came out in the mid-
dle of the road just below. Then
beyond that again the ledge came
back• This left solid roadway on
each side of a muckhole.
In mud season some farmer was
always trying to get one last load
of logs out. or get home one last
load of hay to see his cows
through. When the horses hit the
ledge they would feel good about
it, and' would kind of ease off in
their Labors, This got them. in ex-
actly the wrong frame of mind for
the muckhole ahead, and they
would flounder in it nicely.
Upon fording it, they would then
find themselves on ledge again
with the stupendous job of getting
the load through the 'mire, and
their feet would slip. Then they'd)
just give up, and the man would
come in to see Grandfather and ask
for some help. ,
I still have the logging. chain he
used—a long hand-durged device in-
tended for the heavy work of that
generation. At times he'd keep the
team harnessed in their stalls so
he wouldn't lose time. He'd put his
team up ahead so they'd have good
footing, and then out would come
the load. Beyond a "Thanks, Tom"
from the other farmer, nothing
was said about payment.
In those days it was considered
proper for a man to need help now
and then, and for another man to
give it. If a debt of some kind
was implied, the creditor would
say, "Oh, no --that's all right. I
may 'call on' sometime, myself."
A fellow stuck in the mud needed
to get pulled out, and the exigen-
cies of society were in tune.
Then came the first automobile.
Gram was called out of bed,
drove out with his team, and found
the mudhole had caught a new-
fangled contraption. Its driver was.
a stranger, and when the strang-
er's car was out on the ledge drip-
ping blue -gray ooze from every
shackle, the stranger struck a
note. He said, "How much?"
A new era was upon us. Gramp
continued to pull out stranded
neighbors and friends for nothing.
but automobiles drew from him an,
"Oh, whatever it's worth to you."
Then came a day when he had no
compunctions whatever about say-
ing, "That'll be a dollar." But
neighbors and friends could still
call on.
So things progressed until the
motorists got highway bills pass-
ed, and the road out front now is
paved. The spring is drained away
and you can't tell where the muck -
hole was. Nobody gets stuck any
more—but the way they rip by it's
hard to tell who is a neighbor and
who its from 1,000 miles away. And
to tell the honest truth, I don't
think it makes so much difference
as it did. A world that has elim-
inated mudholes where friends
could help each other out is mere-
ly a different world, and we might
as well admit it.
But as something of a reminder
we still have mud everywhere ex-
cept on the road, and Mother wish-
es not quite so much of it would
find its way upstairs into the bed-
rooms.
edrooms. Now and then we get the
tractor stuck in the field, and we
leave the autmobile out by the
mailbox so we won't chew up the
driveway. A few hemlock boughs
laid, by the back steps make an ex-
cellent doormat, and the ancient
footscraper eats its peck a day.
But mudtime is tough on house-
keepers, and the byword is "Wipe
those feet!"
To The Editor
LIKES MARGARINE
Ottawa, Ont., May 8, 1951.
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: I see that the mar-
garine question is again rearing its
head in your Letters To the Edi-
tor column. So far, no comments
have been made by anyone whose
views differ from those of the
dairy- "interests." Here's a city
housewife to defend margarine. I
like margarine and buy it (a cer-
tain brand) all the time, and save
about fifteen dollars a year there-
by. In order to keep food expendi-
tures at a reasonable level, I buy
hamburger instead of round steak,
sausages instead of sirloin, lard in-
stead of shortening, and margarine
instead of butter. By the way,
whipped evaporated milk makes an
economical substitute for whipping
cream in many recipes.
If every person in the world, and
particularly the children, were pro-
vided with the minimum amount of
whole milk every day (supplied in
powdered form), Canadian farmers
couldn't keep up with the demand.
Of course, this would mean that
some of the milk would have to be
paid for out of our pockets, via a
United Nations' scheme, or Presi-
dent Truman's Fourth Point (which
we hear little about lately). At
this time when millions of people
don't know where their next crust
of bread is coming from, let alone
butter to put on it, the spectacle
of a minority group insisting that
we must put butter only on our
bread, is indeed absurd.
Yours sincerely, •

Relation of Apple Fruit Quality
To Fertilizer Practice
While vigorous tree growth and
high fruit yields are dependent up-
on an adequate supply of nitrogen,
it is also true that excessive quan-
tities may produce poorly colored
fruit with poor flesh texture and
flavor and inferior keeping quali-
ties. The problem confronting the
grower is to maintain a balance be-
tween
o-tween nitrogen fertilization, heavy
enough to approach maximum pro-
duction, yet light enough to permit
adequate color and quality In fact,
be may possibly have to sacrifice
yield to a alight extent to obtain
the best quality. Workers in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture have estimated that a tree
of 25 years or older requires 1%
pounds of actual nitrogen. This
amount of nitrogen is contained in
71b pounds of •ammonium sulphate
or in 15 pounds • of a 9-5-7 fertilizer.
This conclusion has been veri-
fied by experiments conducted by
the Division of Horticulture, Ex-
perimental Farms Service, Ot-
tawa, says H. Hill, in which thirty-
five,year-old trees of the Motntosh
and Spy varieties were treated
with five, ten, fifteen and twenty
pounds of ammonium sulphate.
Trees treated with five pounds of
ammonium sulphate produced at-
tractive highly colored fruit, with
firm flesh and which retained' its
quality in storage. Fruit from -trees
which received ten pounds df am-
monittm sulphate was somewhat
less attractive in appearance and
had a slightly higher rate of break-
down in storage, while the ftult
from trees receiving the high quern
titles was decidedly inferior in ap-
pearance, a 'small proportion of the
surface area of, the apple being col-
ored a dull bronze red instead of a
bright clear color. Such fruit wee
poor In ffavor and had a short' life
when. stored. With an application
of five pounds of ammonium sul-
phate, tree vigor and yield was
somewhat reduced. It is suggest-
ed that an application of seven to
eight pound of ammonium sulphate
per adult tree will ensure adequate
tree vigor and production without
appreciably decreasing quality.
While this may serve as a goad
general guide, says Mr. Hill, It is
realized that natural soil fertility
and orchard management may
cause some variation between indi-
vidual orchards in the requirement
for inorganic nitrogen such as am-
monium sulphate.
The nitrogen requirement and
status in an individual orchard
may be determined by analyses of
the apple foliage. For instance,
the trees which received five
pounds of ammonium sulphate had
in mid July, a nitrogen content of
1.84 per cent; those which receiv-
ed 10 and 15 pounds per tree had
nitrogen content of 2.2 and 2A
per cent respectively. It has been
found that when the nitrogen in
the foliage in midsummer is in; ex-
cess
acess of 2.0 to 2.1 per cent, the qual-
ity of the fruit consistently falls.
If the nitrogen is much below two
per cent, tree vigor and ,production
is likely to suffer. Foliage analys-
es has also shown a relation be-
tween the amount of potassium in
thefollage and fruit quality. Fruit
quality is decreased if the potas-
sium in the foliage is lower than
1.7 per cent.
The Horticulture Division at Ot-
tawa can carry out a certain
amount of service analyses for
growers who consider that the tree
growth and vigor is not satisfac-
tory, or the fruit is 'poorly colored
and does not keep well. Any
grower who wishes to submit a fol-
iage sample should collect it in

Seed 37 Acres in Day
There was plenty of action on
the farm of Norman. Jaques in the
Woodham district Monday, when
friends staged a farming bee and
seeded his land. It was a co-oper-
ative effort on the part of the men
to help out a neighbor who is con-
valescing from a recent operation.
"It was a complete job," said the.
grateful Mr. Jaques, who is barely
able to get around. "They even did
the harrowing after the seed was
in. I told them to leave the corn
field—I'd' get that done whenever 1
could. But they went right ahead
and even got that land ready.('
Thirty-seven acres were seeded
and there were 18 tractors on the
land• during the day. The men
started coming in the morning and
had finished bheir job before five
o'clock. Mr. Jaques' farm is on con-
cession 7, Usborne, about two
and a half miles south of Elim-
ville. He went to the hospital on
April 2, for an operation. Unfor-
tunately, the operation reacted on
