SEAFORTH, Friday, September 30
A Good Fair Despite Rain
It was disappointing to officers and
members of the Seaforth Agricul-
tural Society to find on Friday that
the 110th Fair, for which they had
been planning for so long, was rain-
ed out.
But despite the inclement weather,
which resulted in a reduced attend-
ance, the Fair was by no means a
failure. On the contrary, in point of
both quality and quantity of exhib-
its, and of interesting displays, it
was probably the outstanding fair in
the history of the society. The pres-
ence of the Lieutenant -Governor of
Ontario, Hon. Louis 0. Breithaupt,
and Mrs. Breithaupt, was a feature
that added to the occasion. It was
the first time the representative of
the Queen in Ontario had visited
Seaforth.
The weather throughout the -after-
noon was such that most of the -Crowd
spent their time in the arena, where
it was necessary to hold opening cere-
monies. The arena displays, includ-
ing 52 stands arranged by Seaforth
merchants and district manufactur-
ers, was the largest in some years,
and was indicative of the amount of
work which Chamber of Commerce
officials had done, and the extent to
which their co-operation and effort
contributed to a well rounded fair.
While the rain posed many prob-
lems for exhibitors and spectators,
those who took part in the parade,
perhaps as much as any, deserve.
sympathy. Hundreds of school chil-
dren, soaking wet, their gay costumes
bedraggled with rain, marched the
whole route despite the weather.
It is to be hoped that departmental
insurance provisions will be such as
to prevent financial loss to the So-
ciety. The disappointment of those
in charge will be sufficient without at
the same time being _faced with a
substantial deficit as a result of
weather conditions.
Small But Big . . .
October 1-8 is National News-
paper Week for Canada's over 700
weekly, twice -weekly, and tri -week-
ly newspapers.
Their editors and publishers have
fostered this week not in the hope of
soliciting tributes from citizens of
national or local import, but rather
as an occasion to explain more fully
the role of Canada's non -daily news-
papers in the life of this country.
Perhaps because -"weekly" sounds
like "weakly", many people, especial-
ly those in the metropolitan areas,
have come to look upon the news-
papers which serve the towns, vil-
lages, and rural areas of Canada
merely as small sisters of the big city
dailies -relatively unimportant aux-
iliaries to the mightly metropolitan
press.
The truth, of course, and it is re-
cognized not only by the readers of
this newspaper, but by the big city
dailies themselves, is that Canada's
weekly newspapers perform an en-
tirely different function than do their
urban contemporaries.
The daily newspaper, published
miles away in a large urban centre,
would, for example, court bank-
ruptcy if it attempted to record and
interpret as fully as does this news-
paper the life, of this area. Indeed,
even with larger cities, weekly news-
pupers have found it profitable to
offer to particular urban districts a
more comprehensive coverage of
news and views than is available to
city dwellers through their Iarge-
circulation dailies.
The truth of the matter is that, the
bigger a newspaper becomes, the
more difficult it it' fqQr� its staff to coy-
,* news, and to discuss edi-
a'll the issues of concern to
T4s. Ad .there lies the
strength of the weekly press.
Yet the weekly newspaper has an-
other vital function, It is the conk
mercial market place of the commun-
ity. Through its columns both nation-
al and local advertisers find the most
efficient, fastest and most economi-
cal means of acquainting potential
customers with the goods and servic-
es they have to sell. And the adver-
tisers are naturally anxious to see
the newspaper they use go into the
largest possible number of homes in
the trading area.
Canada's weekly, twice -weekly and
tui -weekly papers are now read each
week by 2,392,400 families, a market
three times as big as Toronto and
Montreal combined.
And those newspapers in 1954 car-
ried nearly eight and a half million
dollars of local retail display adver-
tising, two and a half million dollars
of national advertising, and just un-
der one million dollars of classifieds.
This is not unusual either when
one realizes that Canada's weekly
newspapers are read regularly and
thoroughly by an average of 85% of
the families in the markets in which
they are published. It is question-
able if there is any other advertising
medium which can even approach
such a density of coverage.
The circulation of weekly news-
papers in this country has been
steadily climbing too. The number
of weeklies, such as The Huron Ex-
positor, serving 2,000 homes or more,
has increased by one-third in the past
decade, and there are many weekly,
twice -weekly and tri -weekly papers
which serve more homes than the
smaller dailies.
Weekly journalism has been a /
growing. factor in both the editorial
and advertising life of Canada and
the staff of this newspaper is, on the
occasion of National Newspaper
Week, proud to be listed among the.
5,000 Canadians who earn their live-
lihood writing for and printing week-
ly newspapers.
Community Service
Service to their community is the
foundation on which the weekly
newspapers of Canada were built
originally, as it is the strength which
Iies behind their operation today. De-
pending on their advertising revenue
for their financial backing they are
still 'receptive to the many requests
for write ups, and advance publicity
for the great variety of events which
make up the life of their commun-
ity.
From notices of birth, marriage
and death, through the Iist of cards
of thanks, coming events and classi-
fied advertising, the weekly news-
paper gives a picture of the life of
the town. It reports the meetings
of council, school boards, Chamber
of Commerce, churches and service
clubs. The weeklies never fail to lend
their support to any project for the
good of the community and many a
waterworks system, hospital school,
swimming pool or other service
would not have been carried to a suc-
cessful conclusion without their ac-
tive support.
Unless it renders this service the
newspaper is without life and with-
out purpose. It was instituted to
carry the news and to serve its com-
munity and, in doing so, it becomes
your finest and most effective adver-
tising medium. For along with its
accounts of individual events in its
village or town, it offers the "tailored
to measure" service of a paper which
will be read and reread and kept in
a safe place against the home com-
ing of those more sophisticated
members of the family who have
gone farther afield. The weekly
stands high in readership and so long
as its first consideration is service
this will continue to be the case.
In the Lap of the Gods
(Wingham Advance -Times)
We've heard a lot of recipes for
longevity, and about the only thing
they had in common was the fact
that they were all different. Just
about everyone who ever reaches a
'hundred attributes the fact to a dif-
ferent reason.
Within narrow limits, man can be
responsible for his own demise, but
as a general rule there is very little
he can do about it, on an individual
basis. Otherwise millionaires would
undoubtedly all be centenarians.
It's enough to make one a fatalist.
Which, all things considered, it's
probably just as well.

Hurt in Shallow Dive
On Sunday afternoon about three
o'clock a car stopped near West -

wet swimming trunks approached
Percy Renner to ask where he
could get a doctor. Percy took him
to Dr. A. C. Chapman who ad-
ministered first aid to another
young man who had a gash from
the top of his head tp his nose.
Still another chap had a badly
bruised face. They were airmen
from the R.C.A.F. Station, Clinton,
who dived into about six inches of
water off the beach by the south
pier. The water was merky and
they thought it deep in that spot.

on a neighboring farm owned by
James MacMillan. Two fires in a
matter of minutes kept firefighters`
on the jump Sunday afternoon.
They were called to the farms of
Harry Williams and Harold Mont-
gomery on the 4th concession of
Goderich Township, where about
12 acres of blazing stubble threat-
ened barns. While one engine went
to the fire, the other one respond-
ed minutes later to a" small grass

Cook, of R.R. 3, Clinton, said the
deer had been grazing with cattle
in a nearby field before it sud-
denly darted across the road. The
driver's car suffered only minor
damage. A car driven by Robert
McNicoll, of Brantford, received
$50 damage when it missed the
turn at the intersection of High-
ways 21 and 83 and crashed into
the ditch about 11:30 p.m. Thurs-
day. Both cars suffered slight
damage when one driven by Mrs.
Jessie Finkbeiner, of R.R. 2, Dash-

TO THE EDITOR:
Toronto, Sept. 24, 1955.
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: I feel like expressing
one reader's thanks for that cen-
tral feature on your editorial page
CSept. 23 issue) - "Small Towns
Calling To Industry" (by Arthur
Low, in The Georgetown Herald) -
and to attempt to add a point or
two to the thought -stream.
With the trend to urbanization,
which has been a feature 'of con-
temporary life in the United States
and Canada in the past 25 years,
and has been accented immeasur-
ably since May 8, 1945, there is an
evident tendency for increasing
numbers of people to concentrate
in the major cities, in the hunt for
a shorter work week, steady em-
ployment, and/or more leisure for
'the pursuit of happiness'.
Signs are multiplying to show
that while there are certain obvious
merits in allowing Canada's
baker's dozen of major industrial
cities to expand at what may be
termed the `grow as you please"
level, there are definite limits to
the process. In respect to the en-
during interests of the individual,
as well as the community and the
national economy, the unrestricted
`hiving' of Canadians (and would-
be Canadians) in a few industrial
centres, with what a columnist
describes as "a gargantuan ap-
petite to grow mightier yet," can
easily create mbre social and eco-
nomic problems than it appears to'
solve.
I think that it is up to govern-
ments at the provincial and federal
level to get down to the groundline
and, as my Celtic pal put it, "a
spot of study at the summit." Cer-
tainly if we are to hope to build a
nice rural -urban balance in our
national fife, the process cannot
safely be left entirely to personal
greed and the amoral urges of
the market place. It will have to
be engineered. If this isn't an
appropriate function of govern-
ment, it makes a man wonder just
what is. Our farmers would be
obvious beneficiaries. Traffic pro-
blems would be eased. Decentral-
izing industry would serve the gen-
eral health and welfare. It would
be a smashing blow to the organ-
ized crime, which is the natural
fruit of the Big City!
"WORKER"
BENEFIT RATES INCREASED BY
NEW UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE ACT
Under,_ the new Unemployment
Insurance Act, which will be ef-
fective on October 2, the 'Maximum
benefit rate for a single person has
been increased to $23.00 from
$17.10, and that for a person with
a dependent to $30.00 from $24.00.
This adjustment brings unemploy-
ment insurance benefits to about
the .same percentage of average
earnings as under the original leg-
islation.
The new benefit rates, related to
earnings, are as follows:
New Benefit Rates
Earnings Range Single Dependency
Weekly Benefit
Less than $15.00 $ 6.00
$15.00 to 20.99 9.00
21.00 to 26.99
37.00 to 32.99
33.00 to 38.99
39.00 to 44.99
45.00 to 50.99
$ 8.00
12.00
11.00 15.00
13.00 18.00
15.00 21.00
17.00 24.00
19.00 26.00
51.00 to 56.99 21.00 28.00
57.00 and over 23.00 30.00
It should be noted that the full
effect of the new benefit rates will
not be felt until claimants have
contributed for at least eight weeks
at the new rates.
In regard to duration of benefit,
records showed that relatively few
people were drawing the maxi-
mum benefit available to them,
while a good many were still un-
employed when their benefit per-
iod expired. By reducing the max-
iimum duration and lengthening
the minimum duration, protection
has been shifted so that, in total,
it is more comprehensive.
Minimum duration under the new
Act has been raised from six
weeks to 15 peeks, while the max-
imum
aximum has been reduced from 51
weeks to 36 weeks.
In order to qualify for benefit
under the new Act, the minimum
requirement is that the claimant
has paid contributions in each of
30 weeks during the two years im-
mediately preceding the claim, at
least eight of which must have
been in the year immediately pre-
ceding the claim. This provides
the basic minimum period of bene-
fit -15 weeks. Each additional two
weeks of contributions entitles the
claimant to a further week of bene-
fit, up to the maximum of thirty-
six weeks.
Since contributions under tilb new
Act are on a weekly basis, it is
not necessary for a claimant to
have been employed for the whole
of each week in order for it to be
counted as a contribution week.
Two 'days, or even a day, of em-
ployment in a week can give a
weekly contribution credit. Such
partial employment, since the earn-
ings per week would be lower,
would, if prolonged, result in a
lower weekly rate of benefit. On
the other hand, it enables a claim-
ant to qualify -sooner than under
the old act.
The conditions for re -qualifying
for a second period of benefit af-
ter the first has expired have also
been changed. To re -qualify, the
claimant has to show that contri-
butions have been made in each of
at Ieast 30 weeks in the two years
preceding his new claim. He also
has to build up credit for eight
additional contribution weeks since
the beginning of his previous bene-
fit period. It is important to note
that contribution weeks which were
in the two years immediately pre-
ceding the previous claim can be
used to re -qualify only if they are
within one year of the beginning.,
of .the ne welaim. But for this
proviso, a claimant could use the
same contributions ct'pr and over
without having obtained any fdr+
the insurable employment.

CROSSROADS
(By JAMES SCOTT)
OF HUMAN FOLLY
One day last week I was in
Niagara Falls. It was one of the
wonderful September days we
hay been having lately. There
was a clearness in the air that
made a fellow feel good. I kept
thinking about a horse which, if I
remember correctly, used to be-
long to that great sportsman of
other days in Huron County -Dr.
Whitely. She was a good horse, a
creature of grace and beauty, and
her name was "September Morn."
The day I was in the Falls was
like that -a day of grace and beau-
ty, and I decided tq, take a walk.
I headed down the main street of
the town towards the river. It is
a fine place to walk there. You
can follow the River Road right
along for maybe a ' mile right at
the top of the cliff. Below is the
peculiarly thick -looking green wa-
ter which spills over the Falls and
makes its turbulent -way on to
Lake Ontario.
For a while I was content to
look at the river and think of how
much nicer it was going to look
in a week or so when the leaves
turned.. Then I started rubber-
necking around looking for other
and livelier sights. September is
fairly quiet in Niagara and I didn't
see much until presently I came
to a little gift and souvenir shop.
The city is full of such places, but
this one had a special attraction
which was designed to catch the
attention of the todrist. Out in
front of the store was a small bul-
let-shaped aluminum can with a
fin -like tail. It was painted bright
yellow with a red trim and letter-
ed and the side were the words:
"Red Hill's Barrel."
As I walked along towards the
Falls I kept thinking of that bar-
rel. As I stood and watched that
tremendous cataract of water pour-
ing down, I thought of how frail
and puny that aluminum can was,
and I wondered why in the name
of heaven any man would- want to
curl himself up inside such a con-
traption and go over Niagara Falls.
For the life of me I couldn't
make any sense to it at all.
Was the human race going to
be any better because some fellow
had proved it was possible, for a
man to go over the Falls in a bar-
rel? Were the days going to be
brighter? Were we going to learn
to live in peace with our neigh-
bors? Was human 'want and mis-
ery going to be eliminated because
Red Hill went over in a barrel?
Of course not. It was sheer hu-
man folly. Dangerous, foolish and
costly, because, as you remember,
Red Hill lost his life eventually as.
he persisted in trying to do this
foolish thing.
And not far away from me that
day in Niagara Falls men and
women who have not yet realized:
just how silly we can be when we
don't stop to think, were making.
a great to-do about jumping into
Lake Ontario and trying to swim
across it. Most of them haven't.
got very far. But since that day
when I saw' the barrel, one young
man has lost his life.
Are you and I any better for it?
Is that youg man's widow better'
off because her husband jumped:
into the lake and drowned in the
attempt?
And in fact, do you think that
little Marilyn Bell is really any'
better off because she did manage
to do it?
I saw Marilyn at the Exhibition.
We all loved her. She was a
charming, sweet little girl, the kind
of a girl a man would be proud.
to have for a daughter. And do
you know what everybody said?
They said, "Isn't she wonderful!
She isn't spoiled a bit!"
We all love her, not because she
swam Lake Ontario, but in spite
of it. She isn't spoiled a bit.
Some day, perhaps, the human.
race is going to learn that all of:
us have more important things to.
do than jumping into big, cold
lakes or going over Niagara Falls
in a barrel.
