The Huron Expositor, 1953-12-04, Page 10was even li r,e years ago. Through WARP, Xray pants, g0l4nt . less numbers of people—regardless, of their race, creed, color or income— have been examined. Many thousands have slept sounder a:edd with the knowledge that they are free of this health -destroying scourge. Others have learned that they were infected with tuberculosis in an early, more easily curable stage and have sought proper medical care and treatment. And all that this early diagnosis cost them was a few moments of their time. In Huron County the work is car- ried on by the Huron County Tuber- culosis Association. From the Associ- ation in recent weeks have gone for- ward to Huron citizens thousands of letters containing Seals. While the of the work being done merits a broad and generous response. value of the work being done merits a broad and generous response, the extent to which returns have been re- ceived suggests there is not the broad appreciation of the work of the As- sociation which the records justify. According to Mrs. J. B. Russell, the Association Secretary, as of Novem- ber 30, but 1,169 replies have been received from, the 12,417 letters mail- ed. These replies Contained a total of $1,946.80. If the Association is to meet its objection, a much more gen- erous response will be necessary. iIiahed 1860 at Seaforth, Ontario, ev- sday afternoon by McLean A. Y.

PHONE 41 Authorized as Second Class Mail Post Office Department, Ottawa $EAFORTH, Friday, December 4 Tr'S GETTING WARMER Those who continue year after year to remark that the weather "isn't as cold as when I was a boy," have something. They are not think- ing longingly of years gone by but, according to the U.S. Weather Bur - u, are on sound scientific ground. The Bureau has found that winters generally are getting warmer. In the last fifty years, average winter temperatures in the U.S. have risen Mout two degrees. Standard Oil of :new Jersey reported that it has also, found that winters are getting warm- er, after an analysis of temperatures in thirty cities for the last 50 years. Winters are "running about four per cent warmer" and "the long-term trend is to milder winters." This -trend is important. In the United States, for instance, a temperature one degree above normal every day of the heating season can mean an annual drop in sales of 25 million barrels of furnace oil. While it is true the situation to which we have referred is present in the United States, it is equally true the trend reported there will have its effect in Canada. BOOSTING CAN HELP It was interesting to note that while some who participated in the proceedings at the nomination meet- ing here Monday evening foresaw a bright future for Seaforth, others were pessimistic. We - wonder to what extent such pessimism, such lack of vision, can in fact, contribute to a lack of growth. "Did you give your town a boost last week?" thedSt. Marys Journal - Argus asked recently. , "Did you commend the visitors or relatives from other places?" "This booster -consciousness is one of the big fundamentals in any cam- paign to attract industry, according to experts in this field. A citizen's enthusiasm for his town impresses and interests industrial leaders who may be looking for a site for their new factory or plant. "Don't forget to mention to your out -of town friends about o u r schools, our hospital, our arena; our quarry, our parks, the excellent con- dition of our town and other fine as- sets it possesses. "Be a community booster — you may be the reason your town grows and prospers." That is sound advice the Journal - Argus offers, and it applies every bit as much to Seaforth as to St. Marys. Seaforth, too, has its fine schools, its hospital, its memorial arena, its out- standing parks. We should talk about them and look forward to the day when they may be improved and augmented. CHRISTMAS SEALS Christmas Seals are becoming more and more a traditional part of our Christmas story. The money • you pay for Christmas Seals helps a tremendously worthwhile cause— the study, detection and treatment of tuberculosis. It is because the pur- Chase of Seals is such a fine and prac- tical- application of good will at the 34vlopcle sdason that they continpe to uloid ithe place they do in Christmas 441rnties.

Just in case their parents should also read it and practise the advise it contains. it and practise the advice it contains, the children should be ready. The advice is from the Brantford Expositor: "If you are going to hit a kid, hit him. Don't give him a love tap and a frown." "This forthright piece of advice to parents we hasten to rescue from un- deserved obscurity in the latest issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, a publication few parents see and still fewer would read if they chanced upon it. "The pugilistically-sounding writ- er is, in fact, Dr. Paul Williamson, of Memphis, Tennessee, whose no non- sense attitude is most refreshing in this age when parents, faced with a problem of child behavior, are so of- ten urged to consult a book instead of reaching for a strap or using the flat of the hand, about which, says Doctor Williamson, `there is, nothing wrong, if properly applied'." There you are, kids. It's up to you now. If the hand that holds the rul- er moves more quickly the next time you do something bad, you have only yourselves to blame. Breaks Ankle in Accident A nasty accident took place on the farm of George Kennedy, just east of Belmore, last Tuesday af- ternoon. His son,, John, was oper- ating the manure spreader with the team, when the animals became frightened and ran away. He was thrown off the implement, breaking his ankle. The team became en- tangled in a side delivery rake, but monies, and following the dinner, called on all present for a few re. marks. The' evening was concluded by playing cards and cribbage. -- Blyth .Steedard. Firemen Build New Quarters In recent years whenever mem- hers of Goderich fire department wanted to hold a meeting, they usually gathered around one of the fire trucks at the fire hall and dis- cussed the business at hand. Soon, however, they'll have new meeting quarters. For the past week, mem- bers embers of the department have been busy fixing up a room immediately behind the fire hill in the- Town Hall building. A door - has been cut in the wall, and the new room has been finished throughout with wood panels. The men have done all the work on the project them- selves and the town is supplying the materials. The room is one which had been used only for stor- age by the town. A number of years ago the firemen had quarters upstairs .in the Town Hall, but they relinquished it when Public Health Nurses required an office.—Gode- rich Signal -Star. Has 85th Birthday William W.

To Harness the Ocean (Windsor Star) Any patent office will reveal "in- ventions" beyond the wildest dreams of logic and practicability. For example : One "genius" proposed to furnish power to run the whole world, so to speak—ocean steamers and ships of all kinds, railroad trains, factories, and what not. And, like many inventors, he pro- posed to get his power for nothing. His idea was to construct a turbine wheel about one mile in diameter, with all modern improvements. This wheel he would place in the great maelstrom off the coast of Norway, attaching ,to it cables which would span the oceans and which, once the wheel started in motion in the strong current, would furnish power for everybody. The only expense attar ed to the project, the inventor no,° �, would be the repairs to the el and cables which might men rom time to time. "And this expense," added the in- genious inventor, "would be virtual- ly nil," • Incredible — the workings of a AU, Banquet Sponsored by Reeve On Monday evening Reeve W, H. Morritt sponsored a turkey dinner for members of the Blyth Council and other guests, including J. A.

Mr, Ivan Kalbfieisch, Zurich, had a nasty accident on Saturday night while returning from Stratford.

So many of his friends work and, of course, they have plenty 01 motley to spend. He thinks he's got to be like them." With minor variations that is the story we hear constantly. Any high school teacher would pay good money for the secret of the alchemy that will put an old head on young shoulders. Homo sapiens isn't sapi- ent at 15; he's too often just a sap. When I have to answer this dues - tion I temporize. "If we can just keep him in school until he out- grows this restlessness!" I say. Time is the great healer; there is not much wrong that a century won't cure. Holding the fort is a sensible technique sometimes. Boys, like babies, change their moods and manners. Every year is a year gained. A play for time is indi- cated, unless patience is frayed and temper is at the breaking point, "You speak to him. He won't listen to us," is the next stage, when the boy runs the home, "Now, I want you to tell the principal that you won't skip school again," said the father, taking ad- vantage of the principal's presence to scold his son. That is a dead give-away of parental inefficiency. "Don't tell my boy I was in the school," pleads many a fearful father. "I don't want him to know I've been checking on him." I recall one boy who was taken to task. "My father was in com- plaining about me, wasn't he?" the boy demanded., 'Ilhe teacher hedged. Protect the parents is one of our cardinal :tiles. -"Well, I . ." "Wait till 1 get him," said the 14 - year -old. "I beat him up last night and I will again tonight." The woods are full of men who cannot take on a 14 -year-old. Per- haps they wait too long before they attempt to discipline the boy. You remember the story of the man who lifted the calf every day. Finally, when the creature was grown, the man could stagger around the barn yard carrying the steer draped ov- er hie shoulders. Catch them young is the secret. Love them: with a firm hand.

I am not advocating corporal punishment unless it is deserved, But such correction, if promptly and efficiently administered, has two beneficial effects. The father feels better, all passion spent; the boy feels worse, temporarily, but he has to concede a grudging re- spect. Many a grown man boasts about his father and the woodshed. It's a pity not to give a boy some- thing to brag about. Dr. Hilda Neatby has written a good book on our schools. I com- mend it to you. She entitled it "So Little for the Mind," This column, if it needs a text, could paraphrase her title by saying, that in the training of the younger generation' there is "So Little for the Behind ” But all this is getting me no- where.
