PHONE 41 Authorized as Second Class Mail Post Office Department, Ottawa SEAFORTI4_<, Friday, June 3, 1955 Rule of Law Must Continue to Live Excellent advise, in keeping with a ceremony involving a building ex- pected to endure many generations, was contained in the remarks of Judge Frank Fingland as he laid the cornerstone of the new Huron County court house last week. In pronouncing the cornerstone "well and truly laid," Judge Fingland urged the citizens of the county to. accept their responsibilities to en- sure that the building "will stand as a symbol of the rule of law." Every person, he said, must see that justice is carried out in everything that is done in the building, both in the courts and in county adminis- tration. The rights accorded the individual -before the law "can slip from our grasp," he said. "They have in other countries, and it is the responsibility of every citizen to see that this does not happen here." Eula of law is, of course, the very basis of our democracy, and it is well that we be reminded from time to time of our duty as citizens to respect ' and uphold it. No moro fitting oc- .sion for such a reminder and of the consequences that befall those who fail to hold the law and the rights of individuals in proper regard, could have been found than at a time when rP was being dedicated a new ^'tion of the home for the accor“—. - - _ courts and of county administra- tion in Huron Chain Reacti®n This matter of obtaining new in- . dustry in..a. community is more than a desire on the part of some people to make a small town a big one. There is a definite dollar and cents aspect which is reflected in the cost of ser- vices to citizens already resident .in the municipality. Sometimes we are inclined to forget the chain reaction which additional industrial assess- ment realizes. The Ontario Department of Plan- ning and Development has been look- ing into this §ort of development. Here is what will follow, it says, when 100 new employees in manufacturing 'lave been added to the working force of a typical Ontario industrial town: Industrial output will increase by almost a million dollars a year, in- dustrial purchasing by almost half a million Nearly three millions will be added to municipal taxable assess- ment, $100,000 more annually paid :Incorporation taxes, and $670,000 in personal taxes. Three new retail outlets will open in the town and •total retail business will be up $400,- 1000. Finally there will be added 369 illew cars, 135 additional jobs and 162 new households. When Man May Lose While we may become irate at a pesky mosquito or fly that buzzes about our head, we have no doubt as to our ability to conquer the insect. We have no fear that the insect could possibly overcome us. But we are wrong. There are ;Rimes when just such an insect can be and frequently is the victor. Let the tetroit ,-News tell how it works out. "People like to think they are cap- ite of doing two or three things at '0" same time. More often than not, ane of the things get done well Kielleach to trouble and, some - t, dtfxi or: permanent injury. t. to' ,thinking about Illan nature wasUe abouta man and lost,►Mit lives a tree air. the husband had continued to drive while trying to kill a spider in the -car. "Most motorists have experienced the same temptation to keep going while chasing flies, • bees, and other elusive objects The prudent and safe thing to do, of course, is to pull over to the curb, get rid of the object and then drive on. "If we all remember to do that there will be fewer dead and maimed motorists and pedestrins, and more dead insects." WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY: Dodging Breakfast (Washington Post) The decline of the institution of breakfast is concerning nutritionists, but their preaching runs up against formidable barriers as the diet craze and the race with time. Breakfast has partially Iost ground with women dieting for slimness (even though diet authorities generally oppose this approach), with fiffice workers want- ing to grab an extra minute to sleep, and,above all, with teenagers. Sur- veys show older girls are the main non-breakfasters. Nearly half say they start for school with no break- fast at all or without any solid food. Two-thirds of all students are said to have bad breakfast habits. Yet the National Research Council has .recommended that breakfast include one-third of the day's requirements of nutrients. New Uses for "Waste" (Sydney Post -Record) An estimated 25 per cent of all wood processed is lost in production in ordinary pulp and paper mills. This the fact that has got a group of financiers interested in building a cellulose pulp mill in the Lake St. John region of Quebec province. The group is considering construction of a mill to produce 40 tons of cellulose a day, using waste materials from pulp and paper mills which dot the region, This is a reminder that scientific research has continued to" find new profitable uses for many materials that once were deemed no more than refuse or waste material to be thrown away.. It is long since it was said of mei.. ¢ aackers that a use had been found for oil of the pig except its squeal. - - One of the Signs (Gananoque Reporter) I have often noticed that by read- ing the advertisements in a weekly paper, I can pretty well tell, you which merchants are successful. Almost 'without exception the successful men: chant appears in his home paper week after week, without let-up. He knows that the money he spends on advertising adds to the value of his business if he ever desires to sell it. He knows that even when times are bad, the store that has the good- will of the neighborhood will some- how weather the storm. He under- stands that each succeeding adver- tisement adds to the value of the one that preceded it. For the value of advertiseing accumulates at compund interest over the years. - There is an old saying that goes, "If your business isn't worth adver- tiseing—advertise it for sale." I firm- ly believe that is the truth Pencil Anniversary • (New York Times) This is an anniversary year for the lead pencil. While the crude ancestor of today's smoothly rounded model is said to have made its first appear- . ance in 1565, actually its birth can legitimately be claimed for 11 years before, in 1554, just 400 years ago. In that year the world's first graphite mine was discovered at Borrowdale, England. Thus was born the lead pencil, which, despite its name, has no lead, graphite being its chief ingredient from that day to this. Tradition has it incidentally, that the discovery of graphite was an accidental. one. A hurricane that ripped across the British Isles in 1554 uprooted a mammoth tree at Borr w - dale. When the winds had subsided, a passing farmer noticed that some black matter at the roots of the fall- en tree had rubbed off on his cloth- ing e broke off.. a piece, and found that bee could miakcper nanent mark - bid wil i f .11 YEARS AOONE- >1 a Repro >t� r ihnm TLe Huronspasltor oI 25, 59 and 76 Tears Age.

Better late than never." After waiting hours in a crowd- ed doctor's office, one patient stood up to go. He said, `Well, I guess I'll just go home and die a natural death."

Does that vacation you are planning include the operation of your car? THINK Don't take yoyyr licence for granted. The operation of a motor car or motor truck is a privilege which can be suspended. REMEMBER Your driver's licence will be suspended if you areconvictedof a criminal offence or of any offence arising out of an accident. 21,000 licences were suspended in 1954. Many of those whose licences were suspended lost their jobs—others had to find a new line of business. What would YOU do without a driver's licence? THINK and keep your licence. cikki0 • • MINISTER D E P A R T M -ENT OF HIGHWAYS -All he has learned...
