It is fall fair time. The time of year when people of all ages vie one with the other to see who produces the best cooking, or raises the best livestock. Fall Fair time is a good time. The pressure of the summer is over and neighbors and friends have oppor- tunities of sitting down and compar- ing notes'. The fall fairs provide oc- casions when the people of the coun- tryside can get together and see just -what standards in the way of farm production have been established for the year. Then, too, the fall fair is a means of indicating to the district the lat- est and best in mechanical devices, and through the educational exhibits ways whereby the farmer can save time but still do a better job. But perhaps above all the big ad- vantage of the fall fair is that it pro- vides the vehicle upon which farm and town may work together to the benefit of each other. The urban people see the products of the farm and learn to some extent of the work involved. The farm people have ex- hibited before them the things that • are available in town and which can be so helpful to them. This is particularly true of the Seaforth Fall Fair, which is being held on Thursday and Friday of next week. Here, the Fair Board repre- senting in the main the agricultural interests and the Seaforth Chamber of Commerce sit down together and out of their discussions 'produce a Show that has everything which is best of town and country. That the approach works out is indicated, we think, by the fact that already ad- vance entries are at a high level and exhibition space is almost sold out. It is going to be a good fair. The World of Tomorrow We have become so accustomed to technical advances, each of which raises our standard of living, that we are, inclined to assume that simi- lar developments will continue in- definitely. Perhaps we are right. At least that is the view of H. H. Rogge, Canadian Westinghouse pres- ident, who thinks we are going to hear in the years ahead, a lot about pushbutton homes, pushbutton cars, automatic factories, controlled beam highways, supersonic transportation. Rogge told a directors' luncheon at the Canadian National Exhibition that 95 per cent of all work done to- day in manufacturing is performed • electrical or mechanical energy. is use of energy is the "miracu- lous factor" which has boosted Cana- dilil production and sent the stand- ard;• of living soaring. Mr. Rogge Said: "This increase in productivity is lot the, typical worker of to- .1S.StrongeroMore skilful or more gent than his grandfather. It is tie4ase he uses better methods, bet - and 'machines—and vastly 'it iiiehiiiea1 poWer. • aVantages df technical (level- " oiftted out by therinan- ''ela* "The age of power means that every a'a has working for :him an army of13,1 slaves,'Serfs or robot, each,equal ii strength and energy to a robust man. - "in the last 25 years Canadian per capita real income has doubled. And, in the last 50 years the work w,eek has been cutty nearly.one-third. In addition, there's a bonus element in Canadian expansion and mechaniza- tion. 'As'oiir-market grows More of our industries can produce at capac- ity with lower overhead." As School Opens School has been called for nearly two weeks—time enough in any ev- ent for several Ontario papers to comment on the occasion. To some, it has meant the beginning of a new grown-up life as the five-year-old re- ported for the first time; to others, the significant thing is the fact that Canadian youth can enjoy the ad- vantages of education. The Burford Advance thinks per- haps holidays are too long: "Every parent we have met up with this sum- mer has been bemoanirf the fact the kids have been under their feet just a few weeks too long. All the young- sters we have come across in said past few weeks have been bemoaning the fact they didn't have a thing to do! Mind youwe aren't trying to take the holidays away from either teacher or pupil. We just think they should be sprinkled a bit better throughout the year, instead of being dumped in one spot, maybe parents and their off- spring would be able to get along a bit better all year through." On the other hand, the Tillsonburg News finds the deathly stillness that followed school opening to be a prob- lem: "Quiet, isn't it? With the lit- tle monsters (children that is) back to school, life can again settle down to a well -regulated and normal rou- tine from Monday to Friday. What has been the little woman's care and responsibility throughout the day during the summer months has been flung on the shoulders of the teach- ers, who will during the next ten months make a full attempt to in- crease their charges' mental well- being." What Other Papers Say: They Should Pay Licenses (The Mildmay Gazette) The business taxes paid by the main street establishments go toward all essential municipal spending, which aids not only the businessmen themselves but all the other citizens of the community. If the ratepayers of Mildmay want to do business with outsiders, then those outsiders should contribute to the community in some form, and a peddler's license is the only method by which such funds can be collected. It is not likely that the Mildmay Council will take up this is- sue on their own initiative, for the simple reason that not one member of the council is directly affected by outside salesmen.

In Europe,' it is pointed out, the people eat several times as much bread as they do on this continent. That is true but they also eat far less meat and eggs, and dairy pro- ducts. And if they turn to bread in a big way they will have to cut down on the other items. In the end that would mean still less consumption of wheat, or at least other grains that compete with wheat. The reason is simple. To produce one pound of meat, a hog or a steer must be fed from four to five pounds of grain and the same would be approximately true for eggs and dairy products. Few people in this modern age could stand knee-deep in bread and polish off 30 slices of it for their sup- per. But when they eat a fair sized steak they are getting rid of the egiiivalent in grain. Let the cows eat the grain. And wO will eat the OWS. visit Rome before her return, Father Killoran has one brother, Cameron J. L. Killoran, who is practising law in London.— Code- r/4h Sigeld7Star. Newlyweds 'Honored Recent newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Jt na Spott, Hallett toynship, were. honored at a: public reception ar- ranged for by neighbors on Friday, , when an estimated 200 persons from the Blyth and Wingham dis- tricts gathered to do them honor. Entertainment consisted of dancing to the music of Tiffin's orchestra, and a lunch counter was available in the hall. Dancing stopped for lunch, which was followed iinmedi- ately by the presentation to Mr. and Mrs. Scott of a purse of money:' Mr. Cliff Saundercock- made the presentation and Mr. Weldon Tyn- dall read the address.:—Blyth Stan- dard.

Leaves $1,000 For Scholarship The sum of $1,000 has been left to the Wingham District High School by the late Mrs. A. J. Irwin for the formation of a Dr. A. J. Ir- win Scholarship for general profici- ency in Grades 11, 12 and 13. In- terest on the principal will be divid- ed into three awards, with 50 per cent for the first, 30 per cent for second and 20 per cent for third place. Under, the terms of the late Mrs. Irwin's will, the fund will bet handled by the chairman of the High School Board, the manager of the Bank of Commerce and the principal of the High School.— Wingham Advance -Times. • Leaves For India Mrs. James L.

Friday, where she ex- pects to attend Pharmacy for two years. Mr. T. F. Fink, Watford, visited Hensall friends on Tuesday. Mr. Pink had a nasty experience at Blyth while returning from his home in Mildmay. His car took fire and in putting out the blaze burn- ed both hands severely. The Kim Trail Rangers, Seaforth, have started their indoor activities again with the following officers in control: Chief Ranger, Evan Ren- nie; Sub -Chief Ranger, Jimmie Scott; Tally, Ian McLean; Cache.

Miss Ellen Love, A.R.C.T., of near Hillsgreen, recently returned from a lovely and extended bus tour accompanying 30 girls, all teachers, and being chaperoned by a man from Toronto who takes a similar group each year. They went south as far as Mexico and then north up the Pacific coastline, Los An -1 geles, San Francisco, and on Up to the Canadian Rockies at Banif, re- turning by way of the Prairie Prov- inces. It was an outstanding trip and many places of interest were seen, as well as so much waste lands, in places like the Grand Can- yon, the deserts and the huge mountains.—Zurich Herald. Build Spur At R.C.A.F. Station Completion of the railroad spur line into R.C.A.F. Station, Clinton., is scheduled for one week from Sat- urday, according to T. C. Leader, the foreman of the extra gang now engaged in laying the track. Tem- porary crossings have been arrang- ed, and traffic along Highway 4 will proceed at minimum of inter- ruption while the track is laid across the highway itself. The sid- ing reaches from the C.N.R. track, across farm land, originally owned by Mayor W. J. Miller, Clinton, across Highway 4 and into the R.C. A.F. Station proper. Here it cross- es close to the Central Warehouse, branching off east of this into two sets of track, to allow for shifting of ears up to the loading ramps. The road extends 1,000 feet into the Station, and then each of the tracks reach another 550 feet east of that. Work commenced just one week ago, when the extra gang from Stratford moved into the area to do the job. Assisting them are members of the C.N.R. gang work- ing out of Hensall, with foreman C. Maxwell. The Stratford gang numbers 37 men, who are living in twelve railroad cars at the inter- section of the two C.N.R. lines just outside of Clinton. The tvielve cars include kitchen, dining, tank, ice and commisaxy cars, as well as five boarding cars. Purpose of the sid- ing is to allow for swift handling of supplies destined for use at the Station, whether it be food, cloth- ing, fuel, or other materials. This will no doubt clear the railroad station in Clinton of much labor and paper work, and thus make for more efficient service to everyone concerned.—Clinton News -Record.
