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.

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 -

A SMILE OR TWO

his definition of an expert.
His answer was succinct and
definite; "An expert it one who
can complicate simplicity."
"MacPherson's a cheat and I'm
not playing golf with him again,
"How's that?"
"Well, how could he find his
lost ball a yard from the green
when it was in my pocket?"

Customer (in music shop) : "I
want an E string for my banjo."
New assistant: "Here you are,
sir. Take the box and choose it
yourself. I can't tell the difference
between the he's and the she's."
Judge: "Are you sure this man
was drunk?"
Cop: "Well, he was carrying a
manhole coyer and said he was
taking it home to play on his hi-fi
machine."
"Isn't your husband doing any-
thing to cure his deafness?"
"No—he's decided to wait until
the children have finished their
music lessons."
"Yes, dearie, I might as well
confess. I'm celebrating nay thir-
tieth birthday today."
"And why not darling? 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."
Mrs. Walker left the baby in his
carriage at about 8.30 on Wednes-
day morning, after he had had
his breakfast. She returned short-
ly before 10 o'clock to find that the

ONTARIO
HOW valuable is your driver's licence?
Does your job or business depend on it?
Do you really need to drive?
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.
