Harris, dealt with Canada's financial and economic problems in his first budget which he brought down last week- ti While for the first time since the war the budget records a deficit, this was early foreseen. As a matter of fact, the possibility was suggeated in the budget of 1954, when it was indi- cated that the small surplus for which the budget provided, was pre- dicated on a continued increase in the gross natural product. When loss of much of the Western wheat crop produced a lowered total pro- ductivity, a deficit resulted. The budget provided for a lowered income tax and this reflected the continuing economy that has been practised by the government in its overall operations. The reduction in -tax, while relatively small, does re- sult in an increase in take-home pay, and thus produces more purchasing power - In one instance, the tariff was rais- ed—for the first time in a number of Wears. But this was by no means an admission that increases in duties would provide the means of improv- ing the industrial economy. The in- crease is the imposition of a 71/, per ont duty on polyethylene resins, now being produced by Canada's rapidly growing plastics industry, The difficulties with which some industries are faced can not be elim- inated by protection, it was indicat- ed, when pleas of the textile people, particularly, for higher tariffs, were turned down_ Mr. Barris feels that the problems of this industry are too complex to be solved by a simple tar- iff increase. He warns secondary in- dustries in general that loss of ground in export and domestic: mar- °' kets to competitors cannot be ' cor- rected by Government action, but must depend on "resourceful efforts by management and labor to meet that competition by reduction in real costs and improvement of quality and efficiency." While in only one instance was a tariff raised. a wide range of articles will now have less protection or none at all. Of particular - interest to Farmers is the removal of the tariff on a number of poultry' products. The removal, too, of taxes on tires will be of genera' assistance, as also does the reduction in automobile taxes. As has been indicated in several press reviews, it is not a spectacular budget. But at the same time it is a realistic budget that recognizes the future that is that of Canada, and which goes a ut, in a workmanlike way, to mak possible Canada's for- ward march. Canada in 25 Years What is, the Canada of 1980 to be like? To what extent will action tak- en now, or in the iltl nediate future, affect the actual situation as it will be twenty-five years from now? These 'and other economic ques- tions of concern to every Caladian should be answered by the Royal Commission on Canada's economic prospects. It was indicated by Mr. iris, in his recent budget speech, that it was the intention of the Gov- ernment to establish stleh a commis- sion. Some of the matters with which Commission will deal are sug- by the Toronto Star, when it +Ome of the major ,.problems or and business, today trial roe•. about this condition which produces severe seasonal unemployment. No one can change the climate. But are there economic measures that could be taken to reduce or eliminate these wasteful seasonal fluctuations? That is one avenue the commission will doubtless explore. Then there is the prospect that in 25 years Canada will have around 235,000,000 American customers on its southern doorstep instead of 160,- 000,000 as at present. This will cre- ate a terrific demand on Canada's natural resources. The United States will want a great deal more news- print, copper, nickel and other com- modities from Canada. In view of this, should plans be made to supply the U.S. market with goods in more highly manufactured form than at present? No doubt the commission will "thoughtfully speculate" (Mr. Harris' words) on the implication of this development. When it comes to exports, the probable trend of events and mar- kets in Europe and Mia will have to be considered_ Is Canada to be shut out of the Asiatic market by the spread of communism in that area?, What's likely to happen in Europe that will affect the sale of Canadian goods on the continent and in Gi at Britain? If these things and their • probable effect on exports can be figured out in advance, the -govern- ment will know better duhatf(o do about them. Then there is the probability that the Dominion's own population will reach 25,000,000 or 30,000,000 within the next three decades. How will the additional people be, spread re- gionally? Will there be only bigger Torontos and Hamiltons, or can the extra population be spread out more evenly, not only among. the various provinces, but in the industrial east as well? In 1980 how many Cana- dians will be teen-agers, how many producers and how many older citi- zens in complete retirement? These, and many other pertinent matters affecting Canada's progress the com- mission will endeavor to find out. WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY: THE HURON EXPOSITOR SEEN IN THE COUNTY PAPERS New Sank Teller Arrives Mr. Jack Huck, from Walker- ton, is the newly appointed teller at the Zurich branch of the Bank of Montreal, and we welcome him to the village and community. Mr. Huck replaces Mr. Melvin Barclay who has been on the Zurich staff for some time and has left for West Lorne, where he will be a member of that bank staff.—Zur- ich Herald. Teachers Hired By Board Three new teachers have been hired by the Exeter Public School Board for the coming term. They are Gar Baker, Seaforth, who was goaltender for Exeter Mohawks this winter; Mrs. Clifford Jory, of R.R. 1, Kirkton, and Miss yelma Ballagh, of Teeswater. They will replace Miss Helen Anthony, Mrs. Howard Pym and Mrs. William Mickle, who, have resigned from the staff. At its meeting Monday night the board decided to consult a landscape specialist on the im- provement of the school grounds. —Exeter Times -Advocate. Spring is Here To Stay What a change the weatherman can do in less than a week's ' time! During the last weekend in March we saw one of the worst blizzards —snow and cold—witnessed for some years, and today the spring season has really set in, not too warm, but quite seasonable. .Far- mers are very busy getting in their spring seeding, and they say the land works up lovely, and , with the mechanical equipment it don't take long, and some of the more aggressive farmers will have their seeding' all in. Owing to the wet fall we experienced, there will be a lot of extra work, such as plowing, as last fall it was out of the question to get into the fields. Here's hoping for a boun- teous harvest with good weather to harvest the same.—Zurich Her- ald. In, Hospital After Two Crashes An Ambiguous. Title For Debate (Meaford -Express) Sullivan Township Farm Forum debated: "Resolved that informed farmers are more necessary to a pub- lic relations program than advertis- ing." we do not know what the members of the Forum were debat- ing about_ Informed farmers are necessary. Advertising is necessary. Public re- lations, one place where the farming community falls down badly, is nec- essary. But how debaters can see where there is a choice between informed farmer's and advertising to better public relations is a little beyond us. If farmers have something worth- while to contribute they must adver- tise to convince their intended mar- ket of their wares. They must be well informed to be able to do this. Subject of the debate would indi- cate that one of the reasons farmers have such a poor public relations setup is because they do not know what it is. Pedestrians First; Cyclists Second (St. Marys Journal -Argus) In this town we have a by-law which prohibits the riding of bicycles on the sidewalks. In the past sev- eral decades this by-law has been generally overlooked since most bicycle riders are young boys and girls and it is seemingly safer for them to be riding on the sidewalks than on the roadways. Most of the time the overlooking of this law has not meant very much, but we some- times wonder if the young bicycle riders should not be reminded at times concerning the rights of pedes- trians. The other day we heard a young cyclist calling out to a pedes- trian to "get out of the way." In other words, this young lad felt com- pletely secure in the belief that it was his first privilege to use the side- walks and he, not the pedestrian, was in the right. Perhaps the by-law could be put to use if it were amended to allow ' bicycles to use the sidewalks if they were dear of pedestrians.

A wild ride along No. 8 Highway climaxing at Holmesville sent a Toronto man to Alexandra Marine and General Hospital on Monday afternoon after his car ended up against a tree. Constable Robert Sims, of the Ontario Provincial Police Goderich detachment, said that charges are pending against Harry Rose, 61, of, Toronto. Ac- cording to police, Rose collided with a road grader near Seaforth early in the afternoon. A short while later, while Provincial Con- stable Snell was sounding an alarm to stop the Rose car, Chief Constable Joe Ferrand at Clinton saw the vehicle almost hit two women at the' traffic lights in Clinton- Then, police had a re- port that the Rose car had at- tempted to pass another grader near Holmesville and became wrapped around a tree. Rose was unconscious when taken by Stiles ambulance to hospital, where he was treated by Dr. N. C. Jackson for head and shoulder injuries.-- Goderich njuries.= Goderich Signal -Star.

Ev,•en if some of the nets which they hope to salvage can be used again, they are out of production for this season. Nets average. in cost about $25.00 each. — Clinton News -Record - Little Girl Injurtd • YEARS AGONE Interesting litems picked from The Huron Expositor of 25 and 50 Years Ago.

Janie Baker, six-year-old daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs.•Kenneth Bak- er, Wingham, was seriously injur- ed on Monday night when she was strack by a truck near her home on Diagonal Road. The truck was a light pick-up, owned by the Coun- ty of Huron, and driven by Bower Farrish, , of Gorrie. According to eyewitnesses reports. of the acci- dent, the little girl ran across the road to some friends on the other side. The children saw the"i truck approaching and shouted a warn- ing, but the little girl was in the path of the eastbound truck and the driver was unable to stop in time to avoid an accident.. An- other motorist, Arnold Lillow, of Bluevale, who was coming into town from the east, saw the acci- dent and took the girl to Wingham General Hospital. Hospital author- ities reported that she suffered a fractured skull, fractured right hip and multiple brush burns to the face and heads. The accident oc- curred about six o'clock on Mon- day evening. Later in the evening she was taken to Victoria Hospi- tal, London, where her condition was described on Tuesday as still serious. — Wingham Advance - Times. CROSSROADS (By JAMES SCOTT) A LA HURON Not so long ago 1 had the dub - mus pleasure of making my own lunch. Actually 'this is something which I enjoy just so long as I don't have to do it. Like many another fellow, I have a submerg- ed conviction that, left'alone, I am just as good a cook as they, come. This doesn't mean. mind you, that I want to be cooking all the time. Just let things come to the place where there is nobody else to do the cooking and I'll holler as loud as the next man, but if I take the notion I don't mind rustling up a bit of grub for myself, and what's more, I like what I make. This opinion is not shared by my family. My daughter, for ex- ample, thinks I don't know any- thing about cooking, simply be- cause, on one occasion, I ruined the sausages. What she doesn't understand is that it was a nice day and I saw something out the window I wanted to get closer to and, naturally, a fellow may forget what he's got simmering on the stove. Matter of fact, I don't know what she had to complain about anyway. I ate the sausages. They might have been a little overdone a little crispon for some tastes, tt e one side—well, all right, I'ad- mit they were burned black—but those things can happen to any- body—to the best of cooks, no doubt. Anyway, this day I was busy making my own lunch, and wlren it came to dessert I was stumped. In my time, I have eaten some mighty fancy desserts. There's a creation called Baked Alaska, which many a gourmet finds very tasty, but somehow that day I didn't quite feel up to making one. In fact, I've never made one. Then there's Peach Melba, but that means a lot of work and I wasn't in the mood. There are simpler things like raisin pie— but I have very definite views about that—or maybe just plain ice cream. However, it was a cold day and I wasn't for anything frozen. Whenjou are in a dilemma like this, the thing to do is not to look for a cook book, but to forage in the ice box and the pantry. If the lady of the house is worth her salt, you can be sure that some- where there will be something you can eat with no trouble to your- self at all. I made a little foraging expedi- tion and I came up with what consider to be just about the pe.? feet dessert In. the bread box there Mite ''trash tiiltitf(ins.. A little, Mrs. R.

APRIL 15, 1955 TO THE EDITOR: Toronto, April 6, 1955. Editor, The Huron Expositor' Dear Sir:' I felt like saying that for at least two reasons this reader carefully note—and clipped for re- ference at some suitable moment— the following paragraph in your editorial columns, from an article in the American Bankers' Mag- azine, some time last fall: ` A stranger picking up a newspaper should be able to. tell what busi- ness is represented in a town . The life of a town depends on the live; wide-awake and liberal ad- vertising business men-" In my opinion the above is right on the target, because (1) a pro- gressive community is usually a pretty accurate reflection of both its individuals and its newspaper; and (2) because the industrial ex- ecutive, on the hunt for a new lo- cation for a branch plant, posts ther along I found a chunk of nice, rich nippy Canadian cheddar cheese. On the pantry shelf I found a new gallon jug of fresh - made maple syrup, not long from one of the finest maple bushes in Huron County. I sat down and I must admit I gorged myself. It's been a long, long time since I enjoyed anything quite so much- 'Maple syrup, cheese and muffins. You can keep your Baked Alaskas and yodr Peach Melbas—and your raisin pie too, for that matter. From now on I am strictly a maple syrup, muffins and cheese man. When I think about it I don't know which part of the idea 1 like best. . Sure I like the taste of all these things—you can't beat them for sheer delight. But another thing I like is the idea that all these things are products of our own -county. All the major ingredi- ents of that dessert can be pro- duced within, a radius of a few miles from my house. It's when you eat something like that, and enjoy it to the full, that you begin to realize just how aret here. You blessed werr right can go to all the exotic places of the world and' not find anything better than Huron County maple syrup and cheese and home -baked muffins- Imaynotbemuchofacook,but nobody could go wrong as long as he sticks to the local products. r !z' • From The Huron Expositor April 14, 1905 John Cardiff, of Grey Township, has purchased the Creighton house near ?russets station, paying $1200 for it.

In terms of transportation, he turns to his map, but such men are experts in taking the pulse of a commun- ity, and estimating its social and economic vigor from its news- paper. Maybe I should add , my definite impression that one of the reas- ons why, in the greatest and most essential industry of all (agricul- ture), farmers find it pretty tough work to win their proper share of the nation's income, can be traced to the age-old silence of these tire- less—but also unorganized—work- ers. Fortunately, signs are not wanting to indicate that we are beginning to take a few leaves from the vocal books of our alert cousins along the pavements. RURAL BUSINESSMAN SLEEPING PORCH JOINS HAMMOCK IN OBLIVION (From the New York Times) Morbid connoisseurs of the de- cline of some of the simple plea- sures have from time to time un- easily noted that the hammock has all but jollied the snows of yesteryear, as has the wide front porch. There is another porch that is departing, too, another porch whose absence cannot but take away from the pleasures of the Summer. This is the sleeping porch, that small upstairs porch which in a happier day gave to the weary and the resting all the good 'sensations of camping out, while retaining the equally sound features of not leaving home. Free on three sides to the Sum- nler's soft air and screened against the night's small life that flies, this porch had a peace that could not be found indoors. The porch seemed detached from the house while yet a part of it, a distant, adventurous place, yet home. It fulfilled in its simple way the general need and urge for travel, for getting away occasionally from prosaic, everyday things. To step out upon it in the evening was to get away from the reading light, the telephone, the familiar wall- paper of the bedroom, the fam- iliar furniture. It was a trip out of town. While lying awake at night on the sleeping porch one could hear 'numerous sounds seeming more suitable to the Adirondacks than to the darkness surrounding the sleeping porch. Vague rustlings whose origin could not be determined would be heard not far away, and, what those moving things might be de- pended entirely on the strength of the imagination. Prosaic, phelgm- atic sleepers on the porch could set down the sound as that of wandering rabbits, ever on a noc- turnal search for unfenced in, ten- der lettuce. Such sleepers rolled over and returned to the deep slumber which is the penalty of knowing a rabbit as a rabbit and not be- lieving it a panther, a boa con- strictor or a lynx. Owls, too, could Farm News of Huron Land dried off so rapidly dur- ing the week of March .128 -April 2, that seeding started in the south end of the county Tuesday, April 5. However, rain and light snow- falls later in the week delayed this program somewhat. Many farmers have been caught unpre- pared and have as yet to secure their seed and fertilizer require- ments.

Cat fights sounded from the sleeping porch like a cage of tig- ers dumped suddenly into a larger one filled with hungry lions. And then there were other sounds, those suggesting safety and com- fort rather than those inviting ac- tivity by the too turbulent imag- ination of the night. Real pleasure could be found in such simple things as listening to the efforts of moths and other in- sects as they sought a crack. through the screening of the porch with fireflies seemingly as their searchlights. Imagination could picture the violent temper of mos- quitos as they flew against the screen, so near and yet so far away from their intended victims. Another sound that was com- forting 'was the even beat of a steady rain, falling throughout the night. The sound was comforting because soothing, and its even rhythm could send immediately to Sleep even that imagination which heard panthers rather than rab- bits. The sleeping porch also served purposes other than being merely an outdoor bedroom for the night-” It was a place to which children could be retired during those hum- id afternoons of Summer, when the . tempers of parents and chil- dren alike bend and then finally snap. It was a cool afternoon room where sewing could be ac- complished without interruption. And, finally, it was the sleep- ing porch which became, by a tradition growing with the speed of light, the place where the head of the house took his Sunday af- ternoon nap. To lie there while the dinner slowly digested and the breeze slowly stirred the trees was to know complete peace. It has been largely lost now, and to have traded in the slee4- ing porch for the picture window was not too smart an architec- tural bargain. PORK - CHOOSE CAREFULLY, COOK CAREFULLY, DEPT. OF AGR. WARNS ° With pork in plentiful supply and so attractively priced, now is the time to choose pork roasts for family dinners and for those spe- cial meals when company is com- ing: A roast pork tenderloin stuff- ed with a savoury bread dressing is a good choice for a really fes- tive occasion. Then for family meals a o,o•ul buy is part of a fresh pork shoulder, either a shoulder butt or a picnic shoulder. These roasts have a fair amount of bone which may be removed to make a pocket for stuffing 'and this makes the roast much easier to carve. Probably the most familiar of the other cuts of fresh pork is the loin which may be divided into three parts — the ham end, the centre and the rib end. With these roasts be s re to have the back bone cut t ough so that they can be easily c led by slic- ing between the bones. spent a p . �, y tl d r: 8 e rs ,rth h r i1 s at. CUPS Seafolrtli,' and' had a leas - The leg of pork or fresh ham as this cut is sometimes called, is divided into the shank end and the butt end, both of which may be roasted. One or two sareslicb sometimes cut off the shank end and these can be either baked or braised as fresh pork steaks. The home . economists of the Consumer Section, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, tell us that when buying pork choose meat that is firm, fine textured and light greyish pink in color. The lean which will be a deeper rose color in more mature animals should be well marbled with flecks of fat. There should also be a firm layer of snowy white fat on the outside surface of the roasts and the bones should be porous and slightly pink in color. Like other fresh meats, pork should be taken out of its wrap- ping and wiped thoroughly with a damp cloth. Then it should be wrapped loosely in waxed paper and stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator. Everyone probably knows how important it is to cook pork thor- oughly but it cannot be repeated too often. The secret of the best cooked pork, regardless of the cut, is a moderaely low oven tempera- ture and a long enough time to assure you that the meat is well done in the centre. During the long slow cooking the rich pork avor is fu ly developed op ed a rid inkageiskept atominimum. e outside ts'� e strfa ce has a good rice to ber&bme.that at ctiv'e golden brown that we all a so Otir:Ai�l;..n well. Fresh pork should always be well done with no tinge of pink remaining, even in the centre. To roast pork, the home econ- omists of the Consumer Section, give the following simple direc- tions: Place the roast on a rack in an uncovered pan with the fat side up—no water should be add- ed. Cook in a moderately slow oven 325 deg. F. and if using a meat thermometer, take pork from the oven when the thermom- eter. registers 185 deg. F. Butt and picnic shoulder roasts weigh- ing between two and four pounds will take from 55 to 65 minutes a pound, while ones from five pounds up will take less time—from 40 to 45 minutes a pound. Loin roasts weighing from three to seven pounds require. 35 to 45 minutes a pound, while the leg, either shank or butt, from five to eight pounds, will take 40 to 50 minutes a pound. Granted, the tenderloin is one of the highest priced of the tender pork cuts.. However, considering that it is all meat .with no bone and no waste and thatit can be extended with a bread dressing, it is well worth the money. Pork tenderloin is a long taper- ing piece of lean meat from the underside of the loin section. Ten- derloins vary in length from sev- en to 10 inches and weigh from one-half to three-quarters of a pound each. To prepare tender- loins for roasting, split two of them lengthwise and spread them open. Then put about three-quar- ters of a cup of bread stuffing on one tenderloin, place the second tenderloin on top and fasten with skewers or tie with cord. Since apples go so well with pork, a little chopped tart apple may be added to the dressing. A strip or two of bacon may be put over the top of the tenderloins to prevent the meat dryin gout while roast- ing. Roast uncovered in a mod- erately slow 325 deg. F. oven for 55 to 60 minutes a pound, or unit' the meat is tender and all traces of pink color have disappeared. Two men were leaving a movie.
