PHONEY 41 Authorized ,es Second Class Mail Post Office Department, Ottawa SEAFORTH, Friday, April 3, 1953 Forums Are Important A well-deserved tribute to the place which the farm forums occupy in the rural areas is paid by Roy Jewell, in his column in the London Free Press. The extent to which the .forums have contributed to a better informed community perhaps is not realized by those in centres where the forum is not a regular part of each -•week's program, Mr. Jewell points out. "It may not mean much to those who don't take part in it during the winter," he says, "at least those folks don't realize that the forum means much ... But several thousand peo- ple who are actively engaged in con- sideration of a great variety of prob- lems in, farm forum during the short winter season, represent an impor- tant segment of our thinking popula- tion ... And the fact that there is such a solid core of informed folks in rural Canada must surely contri- bute much to the economic and social thinking of all of us . . Even if all forum folks are not experts on the United Nations or the International Wheat Agreement, the fact remains that all forum folks who were active to even a very minimum degree are better informed than they were last fall on these matters ... And in On- tario education is a popular topic. •No forum member went through this last season without learning, from the discussion on that matter, a few additional facts and figures. "And so it goes ... The great var- iety of topics considered from week to week is certain to include some with which farm folks are familiar . and some with which' we are not :. And it's the knowledge gained on these,latter,, as well as the occasional new slant on the former ... and the introduction to problems we often pass over as being too far removed, that are the really great results of the forum ... Sure they may -also mean dollars and cents, recreation and social enjoyment ... But let's not overlook the greatest of all re- sults," Mr. Jewell concludes, "a well- informed group of farm people." • .Daylight Saving Time Daylight saving time will go into effect here at the end of this month. Council at its last meeting determin- ed the effective date as April 27. While there continues to be a dif- ference of opinion as to the advant- age or otherwise of daylight saving, it was not our intention to discuss that aspect of the question. Rather, we were interested in the events which led to the development of day- light saving, which the Goderich Signal -Star recalls. "In April of 1949 there died at Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, Robert Garland, at the age of 86, who gain- ed recognition south of the border as 'the Father of Daylight Saving Time,' the Signal -Star says. "It is said that during the first world war he gained national prominence for his fight to set the clocks ahead one hour;., --despite opposition by farm groups, There are those who be- li;'ve, however, that this claim be - o gs to a Britisher, a builder in• lhhlsea, who waged a campaign Tong efot'e World lar L "iirsni •Willett of Chelsea got 4 xd a;,Tout BO; devoting his en= o the promotion of daylight t`o ' the extent of 80 :minutes' to fie accomplighed by put- °int'" 'a'rf 2 % mantel at ii ng.the spring anis sum- rated-4 um-rateda:this ownex- tior~ � silly that in y t to 44, 1908 a b was introduced in t Wit* b. rnonS and referred to Med lite , 144 corms ttee 4vgtced oheh r ijprwai d move- ment of the c leeks, in wing, such as iknsUal ? Qa '. oda WRY, but no law was passed t. that 'lune. In 1916, with the war in progress, a govern- ment fuel committee recommended the reform, 'and the necessary act was approved on May 17 of that year, daylight saving to commence on May 21. In the United States and Can- ada it was temporarily adopted by national statute in 1918. "It does not seem to be as generally known as it might be that the pioneer Canadian campaigner for daylight saving was the late Judge E. N. Lewis of Goderich. He was elected to the Commons from West Huron as a Conservative in 1903 and re- elected, in 1908 and 1911. When he introduced his daylight saving bill -in 1909, it was regarded by many mem- bers as a joke measure and greeted with some laughter. But the fact that there had been a similar bill in the British House the previous year helped a lot. The Lewis bill was .giv- en a second reading and referred to a special committee, following the British example. "When he introduced his measure the West Huron member pointed out that England, the United States, Australia and New Zealand had 'all started legislation along these lines.' And there had been local Canadian attempts. `Nelson jn British Colum- bia,' he said, 'has been much agitat- ed over the question for the last two or -three months, and in Fort William and Port Arthur an unsuccessful at- tempt was made to deal with it.' Such efforts had been • hampered by the fact that standard time could not leg- ally be altered by a municipality. "The Lewis bill of 1909 went to a committee which viewed it favorab- ly, --but when it was reintroduced in 1910 it got no further than a first reading. Then came the reciprocity campaign of 1911 which crowded it off the map. Mr. Lewis died in 1931, having seen the idea adopted nation- ally in 1918, but William Willett died before it was adopted in England." • Canadians By Their Acts (Hamilton Spectator) Why there should be New Cana- dians, any more than Old Canadians, or DP's (which is an objectionable and outworn tag) any more than well-placed personswe don't know. A man is a Canadian not by virtue of some ticket from Ottawa, or be- cause of his accent or lack of 'one,. but by the way he acts and lives, and most of all by what he contributes to the nation. • Our Prime Minister (Sudbury Daily Star) Critics may rip the Ottawa Gov- ernment to shreds for its administra- tion of this country's affairs and blast Cabinet Ministers who claim for themselves the glory of Canada's' greatness, but the human side of a man like Prime Minister St. Laurent is something completely apart from politics. These are thoughts that come to Mind following the visit of Canada's Prime Minister to Toronto, where his informality and friendly associa- tion with the children of the city won , him many warm friends, even if the visit did not grain one political sup- porter. We have long admired Mr. St. Laurent for the even -minded temper- ament that stands up in the House of ,Commons before the most pointed shafts hurled by the Opposition. The editorial pages of the Sudbury Daily Star have never been backward in criticism -of some of the policies followed by the Ottawa administra- tion, or the Queen's Park Govern- ment, but they have reflected the very fine personal qualities of men like Mr. St. Laurent and Premier Frost. It is because of these qualities pos- sessed by Mr. St. Laurent that we can understand why he has, in a sense, Merl "drafted" "to ._lead Tiffs political party in another election. We also express the hope that, when the last battle is over, he will be spared to enjoy an r ..�many years of retire' hent . as a reward for the < brie sees � he has rendered ' . • � � d to this rl�atiint Hip 9roken in $all (Friend* will be sgrl. to hear:Pat Mrs. Margaret ea}•.i>y a p..,%le�vt, in Victoria Hospital, ToRR,4 >i, 9 she was taken, after falling at her. home and°suffering a 'broken Blyth Standard..

Brusselte Woman Hurt .in Crash Mrs. John 'Spear, of Morris town- ship, was. injured last week when the car in which she was a pas- senger failed to make a turn and struck a hydro pole on the Seaforth road, about one-quarter mile east of Walton. Mrs. Spear was taken to Wingham Hospital with a broken nose, and severe cuts around the eyes and mouth. Mr. Speir, who was driving, escaped with a shak- ing'up.

Hold Successful Rummage Sale The 1Sinette Club of Clinton held a successful rummage ciud bake sale in the council chamber of Clinton Town Hall on Sa relay afternoon: 'Revenue of $60 ga• ed at the sale made it possible f r the club to turn over a cheque, of $75 -..to the Kinsmen Club for use toward the Park .Fund. This is the second donation the .Kinettes have made toward this fund. Plans were made to forward ,,the clothing not sold on .Saturday to the authorities in charge of collecting the Euro- pean Flood, Relief. The organiza- tion of the sale has gone forward in the charge of a committee head- ed • by .the president of the club, Irene Buckley.

After 'four and a half years missionary service, Miss White spoke about India and show- ed many color slides of life in In- dia, ndia, .and Adventist mission stations in that continent. After working at the. Seventh-Day 'Adventist Pub- lishing House in London, England, Miss White was transferred to the editorial department of the Pub- lishintg House which SeventleDay Adventist operate near Poona, In- dia. The service which was con- ducted in the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. Collingwood was attended by many friends from the Exeter district, and was under the direc- tion of Pastor Eric Zing who serves the Exeter congregation. — Exeter Times -Advocate. Young Boy Struck By Car An accident which could easily have ended in tragedy, occurred recently on the highway opposite the Baker property in Bayfield. Wayne Heard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Heard, aged seven years, was w; asking home after having at- tended the picture show in the Town Hall, when he was' Jit by a southbound 1928 model car driven by a Goderich man on his. way to Sarnia. The child was walking on the wrong side of the white line and the driver, who was, proceed- ing slowly, swerved to miss him, but evidently Wayne became con- fused and ran into the path; of the car. The headlight of the car hit his face, throwing him to the pave- ment. Mrs. J. E. Howard, and Mrs. Willard Sturgeon were at the scene of the accident and the for- mer went for help while Mrs. Stur-, geon remained with Wayne and the driver of the car. The accident was investigated by Constable George Little, who rushed the victim to Clinton Public Hospital. where he remained until Monday;—Clinton News -Record. AL Farm News of Huron It is interesting to note that a number of farmers have seen fit to either cut or have bulldozed out some of the old apple trees in their orchards in the county this .win- ter. Fruit growers are starting' -.the spray program with the dormant sprays already being applied. The local supplies of registered and certified seed will not begin to meet the demand- and much of the seed is coming in trom outside areas, according to G. M. Montgom- ery, agricultural representative for Huron. With the lowered prices of grass and clover seeds, there is considerable interest in the estab lishment of long term pastures this n spring - Good Method of Dehorning .Calves Horns are responsible for an esti- mated annual loss of one million dollars to the Canadian cattle in- dustry- These losses are the result of inefficient gains or production, injuries and reduced value of car- casses from bruising due to horns. The safest and simplest method of dehorning consists of stopping the horn growth of the young calf by means of one of the special pre- parations now on the market for this purpose. At the Experimen- tal !Farm at Indian Head, Sa.sk., both the' liquid and paste types of commercial preparations tested have proved quite effective. In con- trast to the old caustic pencil, the new •preparations are more easily applied, and there is much less danger of injury to the face and eyes of the calf or to the hands of the operator when reasonable cane is exercised. W. W. Cram, Animal Husband- man at the Indian Head Farm;,, says that calves to be dehorned are treated' when one week old as the horn bud is easily, seen at this stage.. The hair is closely clipped around the. horn area and the horn button is. thoroughly cleaned with- out washing or wetting. The paste or liquid preparation is then ap- plied over .the horn and around the horn 'button according to the direc- tions on each container. The cow -should be 'VWnted from licking her calf for the drat Hour or so after treatment. If properly done .there le no bleeding or open sores, hence the treatment -can be used et -any season without danger Prom "Bias. If -treatment of horns le delayed until the •calf is over 10 days to two Weeks of age, or until the horns -halve ' attained notleeable greletla, the IMO of a clipper type of dehorner. .will probably be nee- ceseary. As all dehorning .preparations have a burning action and are pois- onous, they should be kept pro- , perly labelled and out of the reach I of small, children, at all, times. Some. Trends in Farm Machinery Sales While increasing industrial ac- tivity has tended to reduce the supply of labor in rural commun- ities, the industrial expansion has increased the supply of goods available, including a wider selec- tion of new and improved lines of farm equipment. This has enabled farmers to more effectively mech- anize farm operations, says J. M. Armstrong of the Agricultural En- gineering Division, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, _ Some of the consumer prefer- ences in, choice of this equipment are of inrerest. In general, there has been a trend to heavier farm power with a larger demand fez: standardtra'etors in the 2-3 and 3-4 plow sizes and for row -crop trac- tors in the 2-3 plow size. Sales of one -plow and garden tractors have tended to fall off while sales of diesel tractors have increased to about 10 per cent of the wheel trac- tors sold. The mosts striking changes in the tillage tool group have been the rapid trend to tractor mounted units, including tool bar type culti- vators and the large reduction in the sales of horse-drawn tillage equipment. There bas been, a heavy reduction in the sale of one- way disks, iC corresponding in- crease in the sale of heavy deity cultivators. In haying equipment, sales of horse-drawn mowers are down to less than half their former volume or to about the same as the num- ber of tractor mounted Units sold. Sales of •tractor° drawn mowers have fincreaeed sharply to exceed the sale of other classes of mow- ers. The numi•ber of side -delivery rakes sold now exceeds the num- ber of duinrp rakes and sales of hay loaders have 'steadily increased.
