MCLEAN, Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Canada (in advance) $2.50 a Year United States (in advance) $3.50 a Year SINGLE COPIES — 5 CENTS EACH Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa Member of Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, MAY 31, 1957 Difficulties Are Great in Controlled Farming The difficulties present in the Con- servative proposal to eliminate farm problems, with the resulting control of farm operations which would be- come necessary, are discussed by the Financial Post in a recent issue. "So what does Mr. Diefenbaker propose?” asks the Post. "What he wants is a policy that could head the whole country toward bankruptcy. How would that help the farmer or anyone else? "Under the plan Diefenbaker pro- moted, the nation guarantees to maintain prices of farm products at a certain level in relation to prices of non-farm products during a selected base period. If, for instance, 15 bush- ,><els of wheat would buy a wheelbar- row or a baby's buggy during 1943- - 45, then under parity, 15 bushels of ,wheat should still buy a wheelbar- row or baby's buggy today or any time in the future. The system is complicated, rigid and it makes no allowances for changes or improve- ments in production methods or pro- ducts, either farm or non-farm. "The Diefenbaker proposal has been tried and has been proven a colossal, tragic failure in the United States. Of_ that failure all well-in- formed persons, including the effici- ent farmer, are abundantly aware. It has cost the United States tax- payers and the United States con- sumers billions of dollars. It has been responsible for piling up enormous surpluses in government storage and for upsetting world markets for wheat, cotton and other farm pro- ducts. "Moreover, under that system, the American farmer has lost all con- trol over his major operation. Like the Russian, the American farmer is told exactly what, when and how much he is to grow. There is no in- centive to develop new markets nor to reduce costs. "This scheme has worked out ex- tremely badly in the United States where farm operations and farm ex- port markets relatively are of much less importance to the whole nation- al economy than they are in Can- ada. For Canada, the results would be even worse."

Entry in the Klapp Garage was made by tearing a hole through a light bathroom wall. Zurich Her- ald. Crystal Ball "My prediction for Clinton Spring Show in 1957," said A. J. McMurray, secretary - treasurer, this week, "is that we'll have the largest exhibit of livestock ever to- gether in one day in Huron Coun- ty." Exhibitors are coming from as far away as 120 miles.

Radar Traps 40 Speeders A radar speed timing device was brought into use for the first time by Wingham police department on Friday. As a result, forty speeders will receive court summonses for breaking traffic laws. It is ex- pected that the speed trap will remain in operation for some time in this area. The radar installa- tion is the first step in an all-out drive to end the rash of fast car drivers in the town. Wingham town council is also contemplat- ing a town by-law to reduce the speed limit in Wingham to 25 miles per hour. At present the speed limit is set at 30 m.p.h.—Wingham Advance -Times. Clean Town Prospers "Clean Up, Paint Up, Plant Up, Light Up," is not just a two-week program, but a guide for better civic living, according to Fred Darling, president of the Exeter Businessmen's Association. "The future of our communiy is depen- dent on the traits shown during our Clean Up campaign, naulely, co-operation, progressiveness and energetic interest," the president declared. "Through demonstra- tion of these qualities in the next few weeks, we should set a pat- tern for the rest of the year. The results we accomplish and the habits of cleanliness and beauty which we acquire will persuade tourists to stop over in our town, will create an environment which will attract new industry and citi- zens. New industry means many new jobs, with special opportuni- ties for our youth. Clean Up, Paint Up, Plant Up, Light Up is, in re- ality, a key—a key to health, beau- ty, safety, fire prevention, new business, industry and citizens. It's up to every citizen to help unlock the door to a bright future," Mr. Darling said.—Exeter Times -Advo- cate. Arena Floor Crumbles Judging by statements made at a town council meeting Friday, the town may have to install a new floor in the arena and a new bot- tom id the children's wading pool within the next year or two It cost nearly $14,000 to put the foor in when the arena was built, and of- ficials doubt if a new floor would be any cheaper today-. It might cost around $900 or more to put a new bottom in the wading pool at Judith Gooderham Memorial Park. Referring to the arena floor, Gor- met with little approval. Others don Bannister, chairman of Gode- rich Recreation and Arena Com- mittee, told council, "I'm doubtful if it's going to last another win- ter." Following the meeting, coun- cil. members went to the arena to examine the floor themselves. The (natter will likely be discussed fur- ther at the next meeting of coun- cil. —Goderich Signal -Star.

R. HOLDEN) Despite the things which people find discouraging, the Gospel, which is the power of God unto saltation, is still at work , in the world. Christ is being preached and many are discovering that He is indeed the way, the truth and the life. While there is much evil in the world, the Kingdom of God continues to grow. God does not despair, but shows infinite patience in dealing with us, His children. This, however, is not an excuse for slackness on our part for the Christian faith is of the utmost importance. God has so made us that we may either help or hinder the coming of His Kingdom. Many of us need to be made more fully aware of the wonder- ful redeeming love of God, who at times chastens us for our own good. In this increased realization' there will be greater gratitude, and out of greater gratitude will come better and more willing ser- vice. Huron Farm News Continued rains are holding back corn and bean sowing. Corn that was in two weeks ago has sprout- ed but has shown no growth. Grass is making slow growth and is not keeping ahead ,of the cattle. Fall wheat is making good growth.
