An Outstanding Occasion
Citizens throughout the district
will join in extending congratulations
and best wishes to the congregation
of St. Thomas' Church on the occa-
sion of the 100th anniversary of the
founding of the church.
Typical of those who more than a
hundred years ago first settled in
this district, the founders of what is
now St. Thomas' Church realized
that if the community was to thrive
it must haveekthe benefits that only
an active churbh could provide. Guid-
ed and encouraged by Rev. W. E.
Cresswell, the first in a family that
contributed so extensively through
• the years to the establishment of a
strong community, fifty pioneers
took the initial steps leading to the
establishment of the church.
As members of the congregation
mark the anniversary occasion, their
thoughts will travel along the years
during which the church has served
the community and dwell on changes
that have occurred during that time.
• But the real emphasis will be on the
future and the manner in which the
church can best continue to meet the
needs of those it serves. In the ful-
filment of that purpose, the rector,
Rev. J. H. James, and his congrega-
tion, will have the best wishes of alt.
Father's Day
Father comes into his own on Sun-
day. No matter what the other days
of the year have meant in trials and
tribulations, on Sunday, at least,
Father is King.
The necessity of there being at
least one day being devoted to
Father was recognized by the early
Greeks, and since then we are told
the day has been observed in many
countries and in many different
ways.
It was not until 1910 that Father's
Day meant mueh on this continent.
In that year, according to the St.
-Vlarys Journal -Argus, Mrs. John
Bruce Dodd, of Spokane. Washing
ton, brought the matter to the atten;
tion of the public. Her idea was that
it should serve as a day of tribute to
fathers, as she remembered how her
own father had successfully reared
a family of small children after the
death of his wife. It was not, how-
ever, until 1935 that the National
Father's Day Committee with head-
quarters. in New York was organiz-
ed. A little later a Canadian Father's
Day Committee was set up with
headquarters in Toronto.
While the thought prompting the
occasion may be based on crass com-
mercialism, that probably is forgot-
ten by Father, when he is singled out
for some special attention on his day
of the year.
Do It Yourself
In the face of an increasing ten-
dency to "do it yourself," why do we
.depend on the weatherman to tell us
what the morrow will bring?
We are assured the following are
itive guides to accurate foireeast-
"It's sure to be cold if, pigs grunt
uneasily or huddle; if caterpillars
Have broad bands; if there are plen-
` y bf comets; if geese fly late at
night, and if you forget to take along

Simple Precautions
While it may be -hard to believe,
farmers have a higher accident rate
than industrial workers, according to
recent studies.. And this, in spite of
the fact that most farm accidents
are preventable.
The difficulty is that industrial
workers are trained to avoid acci-
dents, while farm workers too fre-
quently refuse to admit that an acci-
dent is possible.
For instance, dangerous stairways
and ladders cause many mishaps in
farm buildings • Makeshift stairs
should be eliminated, and constructed
with hand -rails as an extra precau-
tion. And the stairs should not be
allowed to accumulate hay, leaves
and dirt.
Many a ladder that is used a great
deal has loose or broken rungs. All
rungs should be tight and strong.
Too often a broken rung may mean
a broken leg.
Every year, farmers are injured
by falling through feed chutes. Trap
doors or covered chutes should be
built at the edge of the mow, so that
straw and hay may be handled with
safety.
Light bulbs too have been found
capable of starting a fire if located
too close to inflammable material.
Owing to the dusty conditions which
exist in hay mows and granaries, and
the consequent danger of fire, all
light bulbs should be equipped with
dust -tight globes.
Tests have proved that a 250 -watt
heat lamp ignites straw when the
clearance is one inch.. Accordingly,
heat lamps when used for the brood-
ing of poultry, hogs and other 'live-
stock, should be installed properly.
Individual heat lamps should be
suspended by a chain, not twine, and
at no time should they be placed
closer than 12 inches f rom the litter.
A number of precautions should
be observed when using any electri-
cal equipment, and the same applies
to the location of buildings, building
construction, the handling and stor-
ing of implements, the disposal of
rubbish, and the practice of smok-
ing. These are simple precautions,
but if they were observed, the farm
accident rate would show a decided
drop.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY:
Sun Time and Fast Time
(St. Thomas Times -Journal)
A lady protesting against daylight
saving says the Lord made sun time,
so why do people change it? Day-
light saving has not altered sun time
by one fraction of a second. The sun
rises and sets at the time ordained
by the -Lord, since the beginning of
creation and will continue to do so.
Time was invented by man when
he invented clocks and the reason
why it was altered was to give man-
kind more enjoyment from the sun
time which the good Lord gave them.
Toronto's Share Of New
Industries
. (Belleville Intelligencer)
During 1954 there were 91 new in-
dustries egtablished in Ontario.
Belleville got only one -Hollywood -
Maxwell of Canada Ltd.
But that record is better than for
most Ontario cities, the "Ontario In-
dustrial Review" published by the
trade and industry branch of the On-
tario Department of Planning and
Development reveals.
Of the 91 new industries, 38 locat-
ed in Metropolitan Toronto. That
left 58 to be distributed throughout
the remainder of the province. Wind-
sor got five. That.left 48. Kitchener -
Waterloo attracted four. There were
44 left. Ajax was selected by three
industries. And so there were 41 left.
Belleville got one of them, "good'fish-
ing" Considering.
What officials of the Department
of Planning and Development and in-
deed citizens generally should be
considering.. is whether we can hope
to build a healthy economy, in On-
tario if Toronto continues to attract
almost half the new industries, in-
cluding a great many of the larger
ones. .

Road Improvement
Huron County Road System has
had their equipment here on thy
Goshen Line north of town and
have macadamized that part as
an improvement to the road, and
we think it is a very good move
as this part of the road has al-
ways been sort of rough and hard
to keep in. shape. Completion of
the road to Serapta would now
give us a hard surface road

south of Zurich. Zurich Herald.
;Sentenced Two Years
Citizens of Clinton crowded the
council chamber of the Town Hall
last Friday for the sitting of mag-
istrate's court at which L. Doug-
las Holland, former clerk -treasur-
er of the town, received sentence
of two years definite, 'less one
day, plus an additional 12 months
indefinite, in the Guelph reforma-
tory. Magistrate D. E. Holmes,
of Goderich, pronounced the sen-
tence. Ex -clerk Holland pleaded
guilty to a charge of stealing over
$5,000 from the Town of Clinton.
He was found guilty of a charge
of obtaining gas and oil- from a
Clinton service station under false
pretences, and was sentenced to
one month for this offence to run
concurrently with the other term.
Two charges of uttering forged
cheques were dismissed, due to in-
sufficient evidence produced.—

"The Eyes of God"
For many years Flower Sunday
in Wingham United Church has
brought to the folk of this vicinity
some deeply religious truth devel-
oped in flowers, songs and stories.
Time after time, grown people
have come back to recall some
particular Sunday when they, as
children, had a part in the pro-
gram and to remember the lesson
that has remained down through
the years. "The Eyes of God," as
it unfolded through flowers, music
and song, was considered by many
to be one of the most impressive
services yet preached. Long be-
forethe hour of service, every
seat in the church was taken and
many were seated outside where
the program was heard through
loudspeakers. The junior choir in
white gowns with corsages of
pansies and under the leadership
of Mr. W. B. Rothwell, provided
the music, singing two anthems,
"Queen Summer" and "Go Forth
With God." Two guests for the
day, Misses Audrey and June
Hackwell, of Walton, delighted the
congregations with their coronet
duets, "Bless This House" and
"The • Holy City."—Wingham Ad-
vance -Times.

Loose Housing vs. Stanchion Barns
Loose housing for dairy cattle
cuts considerably the time and
travel required for dairy opera-
tions as compared with, stanchion
barns. 1
Labor analysis of 10 dairy farms
using the loose housing system
was studied in detail by the Econ-
omics Division, Marketing Service,
Federal Department . of Agri,.
ture. The analysis revealed that
in loose housing barns, 14 per cent
less time and 27 per cent less
travel were required annuall3
than in stanchion barn systems.
Savings in winter dairy chores
accounted for the major differ-
ences in loose housing barns. On-
ly about three-quarters as much
time and three-quarters as many
steps were used when caring for
20 milking cows and 30 cow equiva-
lents. During the summer months
six per cent more chore time was
needed in the loose housing sys-
tem. This difference in time was
due mainly to the fact that the
cows moved siowiy into the stalls
at milking time.
In future years these figures
may be revised as the loose hous-
ing manner of handling cows is
still comparatively new on Cana-
dians farms. For further infor-
mation on the subject, write to
the Information Service, Canada

tawa, and request Publication 913

Mr. James Beattie, Seaforth, had
a narrow escape from serious in-
jury at the railway station Friday
afternoon. He was standing on
the outside platform talking with
a friend when a freight train,
which was in the yard, backed
down the siding between the main
track and the station platform. It
was coming along at a merry clip
just as the express was coming
in; and as Mr. Beattie had his
'back to it, he didn't notice its ap-
proach. One of the cars struck
him on the shoulder and knocked
him down. He fell' across the
main track in front of the incom-
ing express. Fortunately, the
train stopped before it reached Mr.
Beattie, or he night have been
killed.

Preserving Egg Quality
Maintenance of winter egg qual-
ity in summer is a problem. Only
about 25 per cent of eggs marketed
in summer are of grade A quality
as compared with 75 per cent for'
the winter months. A. P. Piloski,
Poultryman at the 1'ndian Head,
Sask., Experimental Farm, Can-
ada Department of Agriculture,
advises following certain recom-
mendations to ensure a higher
grade which would mean a higher
return from the poultry enterprise.
Egg quality falls very rapidly
with the onset of warm weather.
This is due mostly to the fact that
poultry are allowed to run at
large. Such a management sys-
tem may result in certain feed
economies but the saving is more
than offset by the lower egg
prices the poultry 'producer re-
ceives when he markets his eggs.
If it is essential that poultry
run out, they should be confined
to runs and only allowed in the
afternoons. Under these condi-
lions the birds would complete the
majority of their laying indoors
and have an opportunity to fill up
on mash and grain before going
out to forage. It is the intake of
mash and grain that stimulates
greater egg production and pro-
duces higher quality eggs.
Egg quality deteriorates rapidly
when eggs are held at high tent-
peratures. Consequently it is nec-
essary to collect eggs goon after
they are laid and they should be
cooled down to a temperature of
60 degrees or lower. Placing eggs
in trays or wire baskets and stor-
ing them in a cool place such as
a cellar should ensure proper egg
quality. After cooling for about
six hours in this manner it is ad-
visable.to transfer them into clean
cool cases.
Egg storage rdoms must be free
of odors and to receive and main-
tain the, highest grades, eggs
should be ,marketed twice a week..
When packing eggs for shipment
they should be packed large end
up to prevent broken air cells.
Cracked and oversized eggs
should not be packed as they
break easily and will soil other
eggs in the crate.
