Retains Championship The 13th of Hullett, last year's Blyth Rural League champions, once again proved their suprem- acy by taking a close 4-2 decision from Auburn on Monday night, and by doing so won the cham- pionship again this year. Mr. Ray Madill was on hand to present the team captain, Jim Scott, the Philp - Madill trophy, which is handed down from year to year to the re- spective champions. The game was played on artificial ice in the Clinton Lions Arena.—Blyth Stan- dard. What Effect Has the Moon On Activities? The effect which the moon has on people and weather has long been a 'topic of conversation wherever peo- ple gather. A letter in a recent is- sue of Farming Quarterly, by one J. M.. Eleazer, carries the discussion a step further. Writing under the title, "Moon- struck," he says: "You couldn't tell the old-timers there wasn't magic in the moon. "I've asked deans, directors, and plain professors about it. With one possible exception, they laughed and said, "Of course not." "But the most eminent scientist of the group had slight reservations. He told me of an experience he had soon after leaving school. His first work was with a group, sort of camping out. He drew a cot by the open win- dow, it was summer. He fared fine there for about a week. Then he had a strange experience. He would feel partly awakened at night and could not move. Seemed to have lost all co-ordination. Felt foggy, h a 1 f crazy. Eventually, he could get things to working again. For a night or two it persisted and he be- came concerned. He told it to an il- literate fellow in the next bunk. It was no mystery to him. He said, "You're moonstruck." Webster de- fines Lunatic as "Affected 'with lun- acy; moonstruck; now, insane; mad- ness" "He moved his bunk out of the moon's direct rays. The trouble didn't recur. I asked him if, in later life, he had ever chanced to have the thing happen again. Said he had, several times when he inadvertently slept. where the moon -drifted around and shone on him after he went to sleep. As kids, we were never al- lowed to sleep with the moon shin- ing on us. "I asked if he knew any explana- tion of it. Said yes, some folks are thus sensitive to polarized light, such as the moon gives. - Since the early days of sailing, men have known it wouldn't do to sleep on deck in the moonlight, for many are sensitive to that light. "I •asked a good tobacco grower about the moon's effect on his crop. He said they always felt if they got three full moons on a tobacco crop it helped a lot (It's a quick crop, you know, and wouldn't hit three full moons unless planted just at the right time.) "The old-timers I've talked with stick by their guns. They point to the tides as physical evidence of the moon's effect on earth, and to the 28 - day sexual rhythm in mankind, iden- tical with that of the moon. "Science has long scoffed at the moon as affecting planting time, cas- traeting an animal, killing a hog, cutting firewood, etc. But the old- timers have believed in it since re- corded history began, and almost up to our time. With anything so grounded in tradition, it is a wonder some research foundation, private or public agency hasn't made a suffici- ent study to find out. The idea of the moon affecting such things is thrown aside. as mere ignorance, a superstition. And maybe it is. But I haven't found anyone who really knew." Newspaper Prayer (Port Elgin Times) We are indebted to one of our valu- able readers, a member of Port Elgin Ministerial Association, for the accompanying "Newspaperman's Prayer", as published a number of years ago in the Journal of the Bri- tish Institute of Journalists. The beginning of a new year seems an appropriate time to reprint this supplication which was originally made to St. Francis DeSales, patron saint of newspapermen: "St. Francis, dear patron of a har- rowed tribe, grant us thy protection. Bestow on us thy servants, a little more of thy critical spirit, and a lit- tle less on our readers; confer on our subscribers the grace of condescen- sion in overlooking our faults, the grace of light in acknowledging our merits, and the grace of promptitude in paying our bills. "Make them less partial to compli- ments, more callous to rebuke, less critical of misprints. Give us beau- tiful thoughts, so that we, thy chil- dren, may have the courage to write as we think, and our readers the docility to think as we write. • "Then shall we, Thy faithful serv- ants, resting on Thy protection, fight Thy battles with joyful hearts, drive the wolf from the door, the devil from the fold, and meet thee in ever- lasting peace. Amen t the purchase of a seven-aere tract o£ .land in Turaberry Township, The property, which includes a portion of swamp and, the re- mainder in pasture, is situated just west of Lower Town, across the road from the- residence of Jac,k Ward. Running through the acreage is a fine streams which the sportsmen intend to utilized for their conservation program, and it is hoped to excavate a pond in the stream this summer. Included in the plans for this year is the ,start on erection of a clubhouse for the use of the members. — Wingham Advance -Times. Horse Show Fair Feature ' Plans for Exeter's first spring trade fair are well under way. according to A. H. Wilford, Strat- fordpromoter, who is organiz- ing the event. The three-day fair will begin on May 4 and will fea- ture industrial and commercial ex- hibits from Ontario and United States firms. Wilford says he al- ready has half the exhibition space sold. Feature of the opening da,y will be a horse march past, dur- ing which a single inspecting horse will "take the salute." He is mak- ing plans to have the march past' filmed and a. copy sent to Prince Charles. who's a keen horseman himself.—Exeter Times -Advocate. Oil Boat Is Fitst Arrival It was "old stuff" for Captain James Burns of the oil - tanker Imperial London, as he sailed into Goderich Harbor about 2 p.m. Monday to officially open the navi- gation season for the port of Goderich. No less than three times this same boat has opened the nav- igation season at Goderich. Be- fore sailing from Sarnia to Gode- rich with a cargo of 24.000 barrels of gasoline from Imperial Oil, the boat officially opened the season at Sarnia, too. The season was open- ed here about two weeks ahead of last year. The Imperial London arrived on April 6 and' about the same hour as this year,—Goderich Signal -Star. Sportsmen Purchase Property Members of the W i n g h a m Sportsmen's Association are very enthusiastic this week following From The Huron Expositor April 8, 1932 An Oxford ewe on the farm of W. M. Doig, Tuckersmith, recently gave birth tp twin lambs. and 12 days thereafter gave birth to an- other lamb. All three are alive, strong, healthy and doing quite well. Three -Ward Addition Board of directors of South Hur- on Hospital announced Tuesday night plans for construction of a nurses' residence and a wing in the near future. A delegation from the board has already interviewed the o Ontario Hospital Commission and sketches are expected to be submitted for preliminary ,approv- al soon. Announcement of the pro- jects was made by J. A. Traquair, vice-chairman of the board and head of the property committee. He said plans were at the stage where the board was attempting to determine what grants would be available from the Commis- sion, Exeter Times -Advocate. "Bluebells" Formed The Bluebells, newest organized group in Clinton, was duly found- ed on March 13, 1957, • in official ceremony held in the council cham- ber, Town Hall, Clinton, at 11 in the morning, conducted by the Rev. D. J. Laub and Rev. C. S. Inder. About 40 members, their mothers and friends attended. An interde- nominational organization., t h e Bluebells, is an organization of young girls and w6men, giving vol- untarily of their time and labor in a form of social service. They plan to .help the ministry, bring a little sunshine into the lives of those aged, alone, shut-ins, or wherever need arises for them to do some work. As the groups are now or- ganized, the girls must make their own uniforms and pass the home nursing badges before they are al- lowed to go out visiting. Mrs. Van Damme, who named the group the Bluebells, after the "Bluebells of Scotland" (she's from the Britisli Isles herself), is hoping for new roads of endeavour to be opened up for the girls, and as she says, "by the Grace of God they will be a blessing to .our town."—Clinton News -Record. The tug ",Phillips", which for the past two years has been moor- ed at the northside of the harbor in Goderich, sank during Wednes- day night or the early hours of Thursday, March 31. When work- men at the harbor arrived early in the morning, all that could be seen was a small portion of the smokestack above the water. Mr. William Devereaux, Sr., has sold his farm, PA miles east of town. to Mr. J. Hillebrecht, Brod- hagen, who will take possession une 1. Mr. W. M. Doig, of Tuckersmith, as been appointed a justice 'of he peace or magistrate, in and or the County of Huron. Mr. John Earle has been appoint - d bailiff in Seaforth and succeeds '1r, J. F. Welsh. Master Neil Hodgert, youngest on of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hod- ert, Tuckersmith. -had the misfor- une to break his leg while playing n the barn last Friday. There were many fine entries at he annual Seaforth spring horse ;how on Tuesday. The showing vas done at the north end of Main treet. Mr. John Moylan, McKil- op, won the boys' judging compe- ition. Mr. Alfred Coleman has hired with Mr. Gordon Love ,Hillsgreen, or the summer months, and Mir. Clarence Brenner has hired with Mr Alfred Reichert.

Expositor: • Dear Sir: That front page story, with its headline, "Dairy Produc- ers 1956 Set -Aside Shows Increase," just naturally caught my attention as one of your readers, who is di- rectly concerned with various as- pects of the dairying business—ran industry, by the way, which is said to affect the living Of one-sixthof the Canadian gainfully -+employed. workers, directly or indirectly, ac- cording to the statistical experts on Parliament Hill. Frankly, I was disappointed, not so much with the opening note in. the above report, saying that:, "Dairy producers across Canada set aside a record sum of over $372,000 in 1956 fpr use in their 1957 advertising campaign . " but, rather, with the assertion at the core of the story, thus: "While officials of diary farmers of Can- ada view the 1956 set-aside with satisfaction, they are quick to point out that a 100 per cent set- aside in 1956 would have amount- ed to $651,000 , . My, understanding is that there are nudging 400,Q00 dairy farms in Canada from coast to coast. If this be so, then the above June set-aside contribution shrinks to the absurd level (considering the size of the job to be done) of less than one dollar per dairy'farm per year! How ridiculous can we get? I believe heartily in the aims of the `set-aside' campaign and mechan- ism, but, even more heartily I be- lieve in the wisdom of the pro- verb: "If a thing is worth doing, it 'is worth doing well." So, there- fore, I am disappointed in the aforesaid "record sum of over $372,000." In closing, please permit me en- ough of your valued space in which to append a measuring -tape, or yardstick, to bring the above fig- ure into the focus of my "disap- pointment."

In other words, while the overall payments from Ottawa, since the inception of PFAA in 1939, have reached an aggregate of $183.968,000, the growers' contribution has been $94,990,000. • I beam these facts and figures at the dairy farmers clear across Canada, as a classic example of what can be done by the co-opera- tive treasuries' of •comparatively poor men, in a high cause.

Between 1946 and the end of 1956, the increase in capacity in Canada was 62 per cent, or about 2,140,000 tons.
