"HOSPITAL DAY
While May 12 has been designated
,s National Hospital Day, in Sea -
forth Hospital Day is being held on
Sunday. The change was made since
it was felt greater numbers from the
idistrict would be free to visit Scott
Memorial Hospital on that day. .
The day provides an opportunity
for the public to see at first hand the
facilities for hospital care which ex-
ist in the community. At the same
time, an appreciation can be gained
of the extent to which the hospital is
used.
The Hospital will be open to the
clic from 2:30 to 5 o'clock. Tea
will be served in the Nurses' Resi-
dence by the Hospital Auxiliary, and
the public is invited to visited the
Residence following the tour of the
hospital.
WAR WOUNDS BOTHER
PREMIER
There will be general regret
throughout Ontario that trouble with
okl war wounds has resulted in Pre-
mier Frost finding it necessary to
cancel all engagements and to enter
hospital. Few people were aware of
.Mr. Frost's war record, or of the fact
that he had been seriously wounded,
and to them the announcement would
come as a surprise.
No matter how much one may dif-
fer with him with respect to the
Policies he and his government pur-
sue, there is province -wide respect
for the sincere and conscientious
Manner in which the Premier .goes
about his duties.
It is this sincerity and the fact that
he does not spare himself, that no
doubt has contributed to his present
iianess It is hoped that he soon will
be able to return to service again.
THE BIG RED BARN
ON WAY OUT?
Mechanization up the farm spells
the ultimate doom. of the big red
barn, according to a professor at the
University of Michigan. No longer
is it necessary to store large quanti-
ties of hay and grain, the professor
ys, and all that is needed is an ac-
ble structure in which to house
anti repair farm machinery.
The successor to the big red barn,
the professor predicts, "probably
will be a low, umbrella -type struc-
ture„ built of steel and light plastic,
prefabricated and easily assembled
or taken down."
The Saturday Post is perturbed
about this trend and thinks that a
good many citizens who spent at least
their early years on the "rural land-
scape" are bound to ask a lot of ques-
tions about the kind of farm ' kids
who are going to grow up in the sha-
dow of "low, umbrella -type struc-
tures." There has always been a real
affinity between kids and big red
darns.
What can . ground -hugging "pre-
aabricated steel and plastic struc-
tures" provide," the Post asks, "that
will make up for the loss of a child's
inalienable right to tumble at least
once through that opening in the loft
to the stall below?
"How, in the plastic efficiency and
economy of `umbrella -type struc-
tares,' are modern farm kids going
to weigh the heavy -pliable feel of old
mess or suddenly see the curving
ty of an abandoned sleigh?
ere will they even get a whiff of
e good honest smell of horse, and
ear the restless clumping of hoofs
old plank floors? Where will they
that lint understanding of sheer,
g size, high -flinging like a
ral against the hills?"
What Other Papers Say:
Drat Them!
(Nanton, Alta., News)
There are a lot of people with mean
natures in this world. There are the
ones who arrive first at a party and
park their cars smack in front of the
gate.
There are the people who tie the
ribbons on gift packages so tightly
they can't be removed without mang-
ling either ribbon or package. There
are the people who rejoice in the op-
portunity of telling us 'how we could
have made two more tricks in a
bridge hand. There are the people
who give our name to the door-to-
door peddlers assuring them that we
will be delighted to be sold anything
from encyclopedias to a cure for
housemaid's knee.
And there are the mean people who
start to tell a joke or bit of gossip,
then stop after deciding they had
better not tell it.
Drat them! A plague,on their toes
and sand in their shoes and runs in
their nylons.
Kissing Pigs
(Wall Street Journal)
Sir Thomas Dugdale, the British
Minister of Agriculture, helped open
a pig market at Hereford the 'other
day. Sir Thomas explained that the
partitions between the pig pens were
made unusually high to prevent the
pigs from kissing each other. The
osculatory -activities of pigs spread
swine fever, according to Sir
Thomas.
We do not know how strong is the
urge of one British pig to kiss an-
other British pig. But if it is very
strong those partitions better be not
only high, but sturdy and sunk in
concrete.
It is our experience that just ord-
inary partitions do not' stop a pig if
his—or her—interest in something
the other side of a partition is very
intense. In no time at all the pig will
have rooted a hole and it is just short
of miraculous how a 200 -pound pig
can get through a very small hole.
But assuming that Sir Thomas has
taken full account of the genius of
pigs to get out of their pen, there are
other angles that might be consider-
ed.
What is the emotional effect on a
pig when he is prevented from kiss-
ing another pig? Does it set up
within him complexes and inhibi-
tions, perhaps causing him to beat his
wife and to grunt crossly at his chil-
dren?
However, whatever the effect it
probably does not interfere with the
pig's appetite and from Sir Thomas'
point of view that is enough to know
about the procedure.
Sprouting Potatoes
(Ottawa Journal)
On a Saturday morning in April a
lad is likely to hear a verdict he
dreads: "Son, better sprout the pota-
toes today. I notice they're getting
rather long."
For the benefit of the uninitiated,
potatoes develop tan -white, succul-
lent, slender sprouts in an earth -
floored farm cellar along in the
fourth month. The task is to pick up
each spud individually and to rub off
the long tendril -like sprouts. Fortun-
ately it is near the end of the season,
so there aren't too many eating pot-
atoes left, but the two or -three bush-
els of seed potatoes must also be
sprouted.
In the soft, gold -glow of a kero-
sene lantern, a lad sits on an old box
bundled up in his Winter mackinaw,
and goes at it. Potato by potato he
works through the pungent -smelling
heap left in the far end of the bin.
It does not necessarily enthuse him
to know that a group of settlers from
Northern Ireland first brought pota-
toes to this continent in 1719.
No matter how commendable one's
attitude, some essential tasks in this
everyday world are simply plain,
monotonous jobs. There is, howev-
er, one heartening aspect about pot-
ato -sprouting. If a boy plans things
right and finishes up about two -thir-
ty, he is likely to be given the rest of
the afternoon until chore time for
his own affairs. And any up and
coagoung man of a dozen years
always has several vitally important
matte �, that demand his immediate
attention. •
THE HURON • ExPosrroit
CROSSROADS
(By James Scott)
ON THEIR HEADS . .
Sooner or dater—anal it might
easily be sooner—somebody is go-
ing to get' badly hurt on the his-
toric old stretch of road which,
within the limits of this town, is
called Goderich Street. In the win-
ter
inter the sidewalks are not ploughed
out and all the youngsters going to
the Public School, and the old, the
maimed and the infirm, are forced
to walk out in the road. In the
summer it has not been quite so
bad, but that i§ going to be chang-
ed.
For some years now the- stretch
of road between Goderich and
Stratford, h as become wore
and worse, until now only what
amounts to practically a rebuilding
of the road will do any good. It
will do good in at least two ways:
it will attract a lot more traffic •to
these parts, and it will move faster
—a lot faster That is the way of
progress, and I'm not saying we
ought- to get back to the horse.
But take this stretch of street In
Seaforth. It is not going to be
changed. The modern version of
the old Huron Road is going to be
funnelled into a street which gen-
erations of Seaforth citizens have
pridefully declared to be one of
the finest avenues anywhere in the
country. Even this spring the
town has carried on the grand old
tradition and plantedor replaced
more fine maples.
But we might as well face it. As
things are these days we can't have
a sate highway and the old trees.
If there is anybody gullible enough
to believe that still, let him take a
look at what has hapened to hun-
dreds of wonderful old trees be-
tween Clinton' and Seaforth since
the roadbuilders got busy. You are
living in a fool's paradise if you

think Goderich Street is going to
stay the way it is. as long as it
is part of the new Number 8 High-
way.
On the other hand, if they cut
down the trees, ruin the street, put
the sidewalks right bang up against
the front verandahs of two-thirds
of the residents on the street, we
will have a lethal speedway cut-
ting our town right through the
middle.
This Is the same highway which
young and old have to walk along
all through the treacherous winter
months.
This is the highway which will
have so much traffic along it dur-
ing the summer holiday time that
it will .be hard to cross it safely.
At absolutely no cost to the town,
a strong representation to the De-
partment of Highways can have
that road rerouted so it does not
pass through a thickly populated
area, so it does not destroy a
beauty spot which has been one of
this town's chief prides since the
early days, so human life is not
endangered.
Maybe it is now too late. I don't
know, but I hope not. -
