About Sleeping
Webster defines sleep as "a natural
temporary and periodic diminuation
of sensation, feeling and thoughts
amounting in heavy slumber to an al-
most complete cessation of conscious
life."
To us who for many years have had
a personal interest in sleep, this is all
very good. But it doesn't go far en-
ough. True, it' tells us what sleep is,
but it doesn't answer our problem as
to why sleep in the morning is more
pleasant than it is the night before.
Nor does Webster' explain why chil-
dren, who have such splendid oppor-
tunities for unlimited sleep, object so
strenuously when told it is time to
go to bed, and who, come morning,
are just as determined to rise with
the birds.
We came across some information
about sleep not long ago. While it
doesn't help us solve our problems, it
may be interesting and we give it for
what it is worth.
We are told that primarily, sleep
serves the purpose of relaxation and
rest for the body. The normal condi-
tion of sleep is characterized by
muscle relaxation, a slowing of heart
rate, lowered blood pressure, slower
and deeper breathing, a decrease in
sensitivity of nerves and decreased
energy requirements..
Various factors beyond our control
may have an effect on the depth and
duration of sleep. Sleep is disturbed
by body movement and by and large,
men 'are 30 per cent more restless
during sleep • than women. Meteorolo-
gical conditions . such as humidity,
temperature, precipitation and other
variables are thought to have some
effect, but their importance is little.
Experimental evidence shows that
sleep is deepest in winter and longest
in fall and winter. Body temperature
and activity are lowest in fall and
winter. Movement is least and dream-
ing most evident in spring.
• How much sleep does one need?
Nobody knows. One person may feel
quite refreshed after five hours of
sleep, whereas another may require
twice that amount. Pour hours is
necessary for actual body repairs but
more is required for complete recov-
ery. On the other hand, too much
sleep is not beneficial. On an average,
women require more sleep than men,
despite the fact that they appear to
have more stamina and "staying
power" and, generally speaking,
young people require more sleep than
adults. The only problem is, to get
them to take it.

The Problem of Britain
The people of Britain through cen-
turies have become accustomed to ' ov-
ercoming what to many seemed un-
surmountable difficulties. While the
-economic position of Britain today
causes concern, when viewed in the
light of the indomitable courage of
the people, it is not necessarily one
of despair.
Life in Britain this year will be dif-
ficult. Some foods are still rationed
because the nation cannot afford to
buy them from abroad. Some British
eetal goods will be scarcer in the
.mops. The prices of many goods are
1iigber. There is unemployment in
the textile towns anda shortage of
asteel in the engineering centres. The
thineulties are real; but they provide
Ao warrant for despair.
Ii'lpit of farms and factories

i' own ,.Steady if slight im-
,eightsin e the. war ended, and
:it S rO
.otiv equipment
' quipment
is in much better state than at the end
of six war -time gears of destruction
and postponement. Why, then, is the
prospect no better than it is ?
The answer is partly to be found in
this very fact that a large part of
Britain's resources have been used at
home when the country was encoun-
tering recurrent crises in payments
accounts with the outside world. The
third and worst of these postwar em-
..ergencies started in the year 1951.
Once again Britain was not paying
her way; imports were getting dear-
er, more of them were being import-
ed„ and some of the exports were
more difficult to sell. And this time
it was not only Britain, but all the
sterling countries taken together,
who were buying more from the rest
of the world than they could afford.
The gold and dollars held in reserve
for just such emergencies have never
been sufficient since before the war,
and since last midsummer they have
been running out dangerously fast. If
that process were not arrested, life in
Britain would not stop at being dif-
ficult; there would be real hunger,
' and unemployment would become
widespread.
While Britain is one of the most
mechanically -minded nations in the
history of the world, it must import
all its oil, all its rubber, its sulphur,
its cotton. It 'grows but half enough
food, and must import half of the
iron ore it uses.
The nation is strong and skilful.
Its reputation for facing facts has not
been lightly won. That it will pull
through the present crisis is not
doubted. To do so, of course, will
mean changes in overseas trade; in
the pattern of production and em-
ployment; in the claims made as indi-
viduals upon the nation's limited re-
sources. But Britain became a great
industrial nation by making changes.
Her war effort was one immense pro-
cess of change. The changes to be
made in 1952 irksome as some of
them may be, are slight in compari-
son.

Sound Advice
-Recently members of the Ontario
Retail Hardware Association held a'
meeting when Robert U. Lamb, man-
aging secretary of the association
pointed out the value to merchants
generally of advertising regularly.
"It has been proven time and time
again," said Mr. Lamb, "that consist-
ent newspaper advertising by all re-
tailers helps not only to maintain and
improve your position in the com-
munity, but also provides the perfect
medium in which to bring to the con-
sumer's attention the many services
available at their local hardware
dealer."
Results from advertising by On-
tario hardware stores, he said, were
to a large extent responsible for the
high level of retail hardware sales
during 1951.
Warning that the hardware indus-
try has returned to a seller's market,
Mr. Lamb told delegates that con-
tinued newspaper advertising this
year will be a vital factor in "main-
taining a steady flow of products to
the Ontario consumer."
Commenting on Lamb's remarks,
the Paisley Advocate says: "There
speaks the voice of experience. And
yet, it is surprising to newspaper ad-
vertising men to find among the non -
advertisers so many men who, in de-
clining to take advantage of the
home town paper to push their busi-
ness, declare, "I'd like to advertise—
but I can't afford it."
"Actually, it is the other way
around—a live business man cannot
afford not 'to advertise. And the best
medium of advertising is still the
home town newspaper."
What Other Papers Say:
Sand For Cars
(Charlottetown Patriot)
Why could not some genius invent,
sand boxes for cars with little sand
spouts right in front of the rear
wheels. On ice a few grains of dry
sand would do the trick on slippery
places—then shut it off and in the
summer water could be put into these
boxes to sprinkle • on the roads when
it is dusty.
Fifth of Eight Articles On
The History of Assessment
And Municipal Taxation
In Ontario
The Assessment Act in explain-
ing the duties, of Courts of Re-
vision, County and District Judges'
and the Ontario Municipal Board
when determining appeals against
assessment, states that the a4ess-
meat of similar property in the
vicinity is to be one of the main
guides in deciding the actual
value.
It is also assumed that if in-
dustrial property or farm 'prop-
erty is assessed for 80 per cent of
its actual value, that residential
and commercial property shall also
be assessed at 80 per cent.
Decision have also been given
that in counties where a county
assessor has been appointed that
the assessment of property in one
municipality may be compared' with
the assessment of property in an-
other municipality of the same
county. However, an. assessment in
the City of Hamilton cannot be com-
pared with one in the City of Galt,
though the municipalities are fairly
adjacent.
As explained in an earlier article,
where municipalities are joined to-
gether for administrative purposes,
the county costs are apportioned
among the various municipalities on
the basis of assessment. Some gov-
ernment grants are also apportion-
ed on the basis of assessment and
this particularly applied to educa-
tional grants in all townships and
in villages' and towns with a popu-
Iation of less than 2,5'00.
Tee 'Provincial Department of
Education are naturally desirous of
ensuring that school grants are
equitably distributed. At the same
time, to ensure that a municipality
which installs a proper system of
values is not discriminated against,
they have placed in their grant reg-
ulations a method to overcome this
to some degree.
Equalization of Assessment
We have mentioned above the
importance of equalized assessment
to ensure a fair distribution of shar-
ed costs or government grants as
between municipalities. A proper
system of assessment and equaliza-
tion is especially important, to the
local taxpayer for on the basis of
his assessment is determined not
only the amount `of taxes he pays
to maintain county services and
schools, but also the services pro-
vided by 'his own municipality.
He is, therefore, in the first in-
stance concerned with the assess-
Article No. 12 in the Series
ment of his neighbor or similar
property in the municipality. The
fact that his assessment is $1,500
and the tax rate is 60 mills or whe-
ther his assessment is $3,000 and
the tax rate is 30 mills does not
change the actual tax dollars to be'
paid from $90. However, he is con-
cerned when his assessment is
$3,000 and similar value property is
only assessed for $2,500.
So equalization and proper as-
sessment should make its start in
the local municipality before it can
be applied as a test against the
equalization and assessment of
other municipalities.
Assessors Problems
While it is net entirely possible
to ensure that taxpayers shall only
pay for the actual services they re-
ceive from a municipality, still
some progress along this line has
been made in the past few years.
A good assessor never raises the
assessment because the exterior or
interior of a building is well paint-
ed or decorated, Neither does he
rate the value of buildings higher
because of a good roof or cave -
troughing or well -kept lawns, flower
beds, etc. However, he should not
reduce the assessment because of
the lack of any of these items un-
less such lack has caused an actual
costly physical depreciation.
He should keep in mind, however,
that badly laid out buildings, lack
of natural light and the poor loca-
tion, etc., of a property will defin-
itely reduce the value. He should
not penalize the good citizen who
improves his home by such items
as hardwood flooring or mastic tile
floors, fireplaces, attached oil 'burn-
ers, panelling, built-in cupboards,
etc. While all of these items are
legally assessable, yet the taxpayer
whose home has these features does
not receive any extra municipal
service because of them and in
some instances receives less.
Items which are more or less
standard as plumbing, electric light-
ing and hot water or hot air fur-
naces are assessaible and should be
included at a fair charge. The elim-
ination of the assessment on items
which are more or less frills assists
in equalizing ,not only the assess-
ment but also the taxes paid' for
the municipal seryices which are
available for our use.
(Next +week's article will deal
with the assessment of teem prop-
erty, etc.).
Hibbert Township; This -That
(By Miss Belle Campbell)
(Continued from last"4eek) +then chose Cromarty, in honor of
romarty in Scotland, the birth-
place of Hugh Miller, the Scottish
author whose writing, "Testimony
Of the Rocks' and "Old Red Sand-
stone" 'had a wonderful influence
in bringing about the disruption in
the Kirk of Scotland in 1942-3.
John ,McLaren, son-in-law of John
Ferguson, was appointed the first
postmaster with his, duties • 'to com-
mence on December 1, 1856. This
office was under the supervision of
the London office. At that time
McLaren moved into a log building
on the northwest corner of Lot 15,
Concession 11, which he used for a
dwelling, general• store and post
office. In the early 60's it was tak-
en over by Robert Leggatt, who
was in charge of the store and post
office for a few years. By the late
60's Joseph Reading had the store
and was there till he built his own
stare, north of Douglas's Hotel. A.
little later the McLaren store was
taken over by James Crawford, who
came from London. After he left,
which was before 1875, the building
was;,used as a private home.
The post office was moved from
this store to Alexander Park's
home in 1865. At the time Park's
gave it up in 1872, a petition was
circulated asking the Government
to have Joseph Reading appointed
postmaster, although he was a sup-
porter of the opposite party to the
one which was in power at that
time. The request was granted and
the post office was moved into the
Reading store, where it remained
till 1901. From then till 1907 it
was in George Miller's store; then
in Archie Robertson's home till
1928. At this time it was taken
back to what was formerly the
George 'Miller store, 'where it has
remained since. Several postmas-
ters have been in charge during
these years.
Joseph Reading built his store
and house in 1869, just north of
Douglas's Hotel. Tom King, Mat-
thew Williams, James Hyslop, Ira
Andrews and David McConnell car-
ried on in turn for many years. Dur-
ing Hyslop's term he built a two-
storey brick,, house to replace the
house built by Joseph Reading.
Ernest Graham followed these oth-
ers and was there till the brick
house and store were burned in
1921. Severl years after Oswald
Walker built 'on the same site a
store and house combined, with a
community hall above. He also had
an outside platform where open-air
dances were held. It was when
preparing the platform for one of
these dances in 1933 that Simon
Miller was crushed to death when
a section of the platform fell on
him. Those In the store in more
recent years were Albert Colby,
Burton O. 'McDonald, Darrell Park-
er, Cleadon Christie, and the pre-
sent occueant, Otto Walker,
(Continued Next Week)
In 1884 on this same plot, Sadler
built a sawmill. Before this if the
people wanted, lumber they tools
their logs to Joseph Kidd's sawmill
at Dublin., or to Paterson's at Rog-
erville. Hemlock was plentiful and.
inexpensive; therefore, when this
good lumber could be bought at
from six to eight dollars per thou-
sand, it did not pay to bother hav-
ing logs sawed. William Sadler
early in the 1890's, took over the
responsibility of. his father's saw-
mill. On July 13, 1913, it was burn-
ed and was rebuilt by William Sad-
ler,' "who again carried on this busi-
ness for a number of years, The
mill was idle after his death in
1939, till Ernest R. Allen bought it
in 1945. Because of the great de-
mand fon lumber in these post-war
years, it is again a going concern,
The brick cottage west of Sadler's
store, housed the first "farrier,"
Wattie Shillinglaw. Bill Bell and
Tom Drown were his successors.
Since their day, like the doctor,
there hasn't been another veterin-
ary practicing here.
The weigh scales, enclosed by
four 12 -foot gates which stood for
many years in front of the grist
mill, have also disappeared., as
have the cobbler, harness and wag-
on shops,
Many years ago it was discovered
that the hill on the Young farm, Lot
12, Concession 7„ is the 'highest
point in Ribbert, and also on this
farm is the source of the main
branch of the Aux 'Sables River.
The stream meanders through what
was back in the 70's and 80's, Jim-
my Bell's, fields. When it reached
the village it was-dainmed where
the town hall then stood, to serve
a useful purpose and also pleasure
for the boys—no girls allowed. This
spot was the community sheep
washing pond, and in addition the
village boys' swimming pool. In
those days the children got their
sport and pleasure near their
homes, or they went without.
The big event of the year was
the faIl fair, which was, held north
of the village on the Hotham 'farm.
One said when .he` was a boy they
had two holidays—one in the spring
and one in the fall. On the 24th of
May they 'planted potatoes in the
forenoon and went fishing in the
afternoon. In the fall they took up
potatoes to the forenoon and in the
afternoon. went to Staffs Fair with
twenty -live cents. Fifteen cents ad-
mitted each child to the grounds
and the balance provided his amuse-
ment for the day. And' *hat a day!
Nothing is left now, only memories,
to recall those once gala occasions.
Cromarty
The other inland village over the
Mountain was founded in 1853 by
John Ferguson, of 'Cralgdsrrock,
Scotland. He was the first to die -

later Cromarty. When ,giving the
