SEAFORTH, Friday, November 18
Seaforth—The Christmas
Town
Seaforth gained an enviable repu-
tation last year as the Christmas
Town.
It was a well-deserved recognition
and was a reflection of much work
and thought on the part of the Cham-
ber of Commerce and the Public
Utilities Commission staff, spear-
headed by a committee headed by J.
C. Crich, and assisted by a grant
from the town.
It is good to know that the same
groups are already at work planning
decorative schemes that again will
keep Seaforth in the forefront as the
Christmas Town. Council indicated
its appreciation of the benefits that
such a decoration program bring to
the town, when at its meeting Mon-
day night approval was given for a
grant of $200.
Special Christmas programs, such
as Seaforth undertook last year, are
costly, particularly in the expendi-
ture of time on the part of those in-
terested if the results are to be suc-
cessful.
Seaforth is fortunate that it has
among its citizens those who are pre-
pared to make the necessary expen-
ditures of time and money to ensure
that again this year the nature of its
Christmas decorations wil be the
best that can be arranged.
The Public Library
Among the services which resi-
dents enjoy, but which they tend to
take for granted, are those provided
by the local Library -
As we borrow, then return the
books that provide so many hours of
reading and relaxation, we rarely
hesitate to give a thought to all that
has gone before to make possible our
pleasure.
A Library, of course, is not a selec-
tion of books made according to any
fixed pattern, but reflects the read-
ing requirements of a particular
-community. Here is where those
who give of their time to advance
the purposes of the library by
serving on the . operating board,
make their contribution. With the
li irarian, they make available the
latest and best in reading.
A library serves another function,
in that frequently it provides a meet-
ing place for many of the gatherings
that occur from time to time. Such
is the case in Seaforth. The bright,
cheery'auditorium of the Carnegie
Library here is ideally suited to pro-
vide accommodation for groups of
various sizes.
Above all, of course, in determin-
ing the extent to which a library
serves, is the librarian.
The Royal Bank monthly letter, in
a recent issue in which the public
library is discussed, has this to say
of the librarian:
"Librarians must know their books
and how to care for them; they must
know their patrons and how to serve
them. They are classed with the
minister and the school -teacher as
community leaders and public serv-
ants.
"The librarian presides over ma-
terials that enshrine the wisdom of
the past and furnish the understand-
ing, knowledge and reason that can
inform the mind and prepare the
reader to meet the challenges of to-
day. Says Christopher Morley's en-
4learing character, Roger Mifflin, in
'The Haunted Bookshop: `I wish
otild be an international peace
t f booksellers, , for my
ton &at the future hap-
worid depends' in no
small measure on them and on the
librarians.'
"One finds only a few librarians
whose chief pre -occupation is -acquir-
ing books and classifying them. It
will not do to estimate the worth of
a librarian by the number of books
he issues or the per capita cost of
circulation. His is a constructive
profession. The true measure of his
service is the extent to which he has
made the great world of books a liv-
ing, appealing, inspiring reality to
those his library serves."
Certainly by this standard Sea -
forth is receiving outstanding lib-
rary service. Miss Thompson, by
her selfless contribution through ane
years, has brought to the timusands
of people who llave patronized the
library here, a new conception of in-
forthing relaxation, and has Tender-
ed an outstanding example .of public
service.
tSJt�nP,
Governors For Speed
Is the answer to the disturbingly
high number of highway fatalities
the installation of governors on all
cars?
In any event, Hon. Kelso Roberts,
Ontario Attorney General, is going
to consider the matter as a part of
his department's campaign to re-
duce motor deaths.
Although it is understood that
those who have the job of making
the highways safer through reduced
speed would like to see automobiles
equipped with speed governors to
keep them within five miles of the 50
miles an hour limit, indications are
that they don't think such a law
would pass the legislators.
There is nothing in the Highway
Traffic Act which gives police power
to enforce installation of governors
on cars. In some cases where they
have tried to speed up trucks consid-
ered a danger on the highways be-
cause of slow speed, they have found
the vehicles equipped with gover-
nors.
The firm had installed them to re-
duce wear on heavily loaded vehicles.
Summonses for travelling too slow-
ly can be' issued as well as for trav-
elling above the limit, police explain-
ed. Some firms have had to remove
their governors or alter them so that
the legal speed limit is possible.
Mr. Roberts is believed to consider
that governors would be a discrim-
ination against Ontario drivers be-
cause motorists from other provinc-
es and the United States could not be
forced to have them on their cars.

If you have bills owing locally, get
out the cheque book and settle them
as soon as you can. The merchant
you bought goods and services from
requires the money to continue busi-
ness. This town must continue to
offer its goods and services along
with all the others which go to make
up a well-rounded business section.

your part and help keep our fine
community economically sound at
all times. It will pay!
What About Boxing Day?
(Goderich Signal -Star)
The coming Christmas holidays
are presenting somewhat of a prob-
lem, though not a very serious one.
Christmas Day falls on Sunday and
by statute Monday, December .26,
will be a holiday. What about Box-
- ing Day?
It is argued that as Boxing Day,
now fairly generally observed, is the
day after Christmas Day, and as
December 25, this year and every
year, is Christmas Day, December
26 should be Boxing Day. On the
other hand, as Boxing Day is not
statutory, and can be set by munici-
pal ordinance, there is nothing to
prevent its being set this year for
December 27, making a three-day
holiday.
So far as we have heard, our town
fathers have not yet taken the mat-
ter into consideration. For some
people, the three-day no -work term
is not desirable; others would hail
it with pleasure, and still others, per-
haps the majority, don't care one
way or the other.
We think we shall leave it to the
town fathers to decide.

Strikes Oil!
For one fleeting moment on Mon-

thought he had realized the hope
of hundreds down through the
years—the actual discovery of oil
in this district. Mr. Filsinger was
driving a big nail into the cement
floor in the basement of his store
on the Square in order to set up
shelving. •Suddenly—it happened!
A gusher of oil shot several feet
up into the air from the spot on
the basement floor where he was
driving the nail. An oil strike?
The hope was short lived when
the reason for the oil gusher be-
came apparent. The big nail had
pierced the pipe just under the
basement floor, carrying oil to the
furnace.—Goderich Signal -Star.

FARM NEWS
Cages Versus Pens
For Laying Hens
Canadian poultrymen have re-
cently shown considerable inter-
est in cages for laying hens to in-
crease efficiency and reduce costs.
But this method of housing the lay-
ing flock is no cure-all for the
problems of the egg producer, says
T. M. Maclntyre. senior poultry
husbandman at the Canada De-
partment of Agriculture Experi-
mental Farm, Nappan. N.S.. where
laying hens have been housed in
individual laying batteries for a
number of years.
There are two types of laying
cages in common use. individual
cages which held one bird, and
community cages which may house
anywhere from 10 to 25 birds per
unit. These cages may have • a
single, double, or triple deck ar-
rangement. Double and triple
deck arrangements allow more
birds to be kept in a given floor
area but complicate the cleaning
problem. since the droppings must
be removed daily. The single deck
battery. on the other hand, elim-
inates the need -for frequently re-
moving the droppings.
Results at Nappan have shown
that broodiness is less of a prob-
lem when hens are kept in batter-
ies. If the egg baskets are kept
free from dust dirty eggs are rare.
Hens cannot develop the habit of
eating eggs if the cages are cor-
rectly constructed. Death losses
may be reduced by constant cull-
ing, while lice and mites are eas-
ily controlled.
The disadvantages noted include
heavy investment per hen, slightly
higher labor requirements, an in-
creased fly problem in hot weath-
er and difficulty in controlling vent-
ilation, particularly where three
deck batteries are used.
Standard poultry houses may be
used for caged birds, and heat is
not neces,sary other than to pre-
vent frozen water pipes during pro-
tracted cold periods.
Light' and heavy breeds and
crosses have all been successfully
kept in cages. However, there are
indications that some breeds and

TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS
It's later than you think. By
the time this sees the light of day
—in the paper, that is—there will
be only thirty-two shopping days
until Christmas. Think that one
over!
If you get a bit rushed and don't
manage to get me something, I
won't mind too much, but it would
be a pity if some bright and eager
youngster were to be forgotten on
your list. In fact, it would be too
bad if you left the children until
the last minute, because Christmas
presents for children ought to be
considered very carefully.
It always seems safe enough to
buy toys for those who are young,
but there are toys and toys. For,
example, over in Britain this Yule-
tide season you can buy a special
new line imported' from Germany.
It is a small snake. Right there
that seems bad enough, but this is
no ordinary snake. This one has
a mouse in its mouth and you can
wrap the snake around your wrist
and squeeze it a bit, so that you
get the authentic 'horrible effect
of a snake swallowing a mouse
alive and whole.
Now isn't that a lovely thought
for Christmas morning!
Can you imagine it. On the day
when we celebrate the birth of
the Prince of Peace, : the Son of
God who represents the acme of
kindliness and gentleness, we give
our little children a toy which re-
presents all that is brutal and
cruel and treacherous in nature.
It is hard indeed to understand
what twisted mind ever conceived
the idea of the. -mouse -swallowing
snake for a Christmas present. It
is even more difficult to under-
stand why any shopkeeper would
buy it and have the effrontery to
offer it for sale. And more diffi-
cult again is it to think that any
loving parent or godfather or friend
would ever purchase such a fiend
ish gadget.
Well, the British are still pretty
sensible people. Some of them
got one look at this monstrous
creation and, as is the British way
to.
Mr. John Allen and Miss Allen,
of Blake, were the guests of Miss
Maggie Hamilton, Varna, on Sun-

of Stratford, were in town on Mon-
day. They had been visiting Mrs.
Pringle's 'sister, Mrs. D. Scott, Mc-

home.
Mr. J. C. Greig has leased the
store in the Oddfellows' block, Sea -
forth, at present occupied by Knech-
tel & McKenzie, and will move in-

ant trip:

in Seaforth and spent a few days
with her brother, Mr. John Beattie,

strains do not do as well in cages
as in floor pens.
Feeding caged layers presents no
problem. Hand or automatic feed-
ing may be successfully employed.
The all -mash or the mash -grain
systems of feeding may be used.
The feeding system should be de-
signed with economy or labor in
mind, most feeders favor the more
simple all mash system. Suffici-
ent limestone and grit should be
included in the ration to satisfy
the birds' requirements.
The cage system is no substitute
for good business judgment and
poultry knowledge. The increased
investment per bird emphasizes
the need for keeping the cages full
at all times. This presents added
problems in rearing and manage-
ment. It should be recognized that
over a period of time success may
depend more on the operator than
on the method of operation.
Dairy Trends
Total milk production in Canada
increased one billion pounds during
the past five years, and now stands
at approximately 17 billion pounds.
Utilization of this quantity of milk
is of concern to every dairyman,
and more particularly that portion
used in the manufacture of the
various dairy products. Allowing
6.8 billion pounds, or about 40 per
cent for use in liquid form, the
remaining 60 per cent must be ap-
portioned to the various manufac-
tured products.
During the 1949 to 1954 period,
fluid milk, ice cream and evapor-
ated milk increased about ,in pro-
portionto the increase in popula-
tion. Cheddar cheese is down sub-
stantially since 1940, with last
year's production at approximate-
ly the same level as 1951. The
trend in cheese production to date
this year shows a decrease of 10
per cent for the seven-month per-
iod, which would indicate a make
for the year below that of that
year. It is significant that the
increase in butter production dur-
ing this four-year period, utilized

me, are almost as dangerous. And.'
I'll bet that more than one of us
are probably planning to buy toys
which, if you look at what they
really stand for, are just as much
contrary to the spirit of Christ-
mas as the nasty snake.
Take this matter of guns, for ex-
ample. Now it's all very well to
take the attitude that any red
blooded boy likes to play with;
guns. There's no harm in it, you
say.
Maybe you're right. When I was
a boy I had a fine collection -of,
I cap -pistols and, so far .at least, I
have not turned out to be a killer_
1 The same thing goes for a jack
knife. In fact, I still carry a small
one and I have had no irrepres
sible urge to stab any one yet.
But still, you and I know of
' more than one case where a lad
took a cap -gun and went into a
bank and robbed it. And we know'
of boys who graduated from jack -
I knives to spring -knives and got in-
' to trouble. And we know of fare
too many cases where the gun in.

the hand was not a toy at all, but
the real thing. And more than

If you think that when you give
a boy a gun for Christmas that he -
won't know that it stands for some-
' thing designed by so-called civiliz-
ed men so that they can kill each
other fasten then you are living in'
in a dream world.
I agree. You can't prevent'
