A preference for Saturday night opening was expressed among com- Munities of less than 2,000 popula- tion on the ratio of 75 to 17 for Fri- day night. Even when the population climbed to 4,000, there was a prefer- ence for Saturday night. The great- er the population the more prefer- ence for Friday night opening. Here- with is a breakdown by population groups: Community By Population Under 1,000 1,001 - 2,000 2,001 - 4,000 4,001 - 10,000 10,001 - 20,000 20,001 - 330,000 30,001 - 40,000 40,001 - 55,000 Close Afternoons Open Nights Wed.

Of these, 97 re- main open Friday evenings while 105 open Saturday evenings. Only 25 communities reported that they re- mained open more than one night in the week. Of the 231 Ontario com- in Deciding Store Hours munities responding to a further query, 171 observe Wednesday after- noon closing as against 21 closing Thursday afternoons. Only seven close all day Monday, while six did not observe h,alf-day closing at all. Probably no subject has excited so much comment among merchants and customers alike throughout the area as has Friday vs. Saturday night closing. Centre after centre in Huron, af- ter deciding to remain open FNiday eveningand close Saturday, found public opinion made necessary a re- version to Saturday night opening. At the moment, Clinton and Gode- rich are the only towns in the coun- ty continuing with Friday opening. It is apparent from the experience in Seaforth and in a number of other Huron centres that customers prefer • Saturday night. They look forward 'to the opportunity of coming to town at the end of the week, providing, as it does, an opportunity not only for necessary shopping, but also to visit their friends. Since the prime pur- pose of any business area is to serve the requirements of the community, it was logical that the preferences of those to be served were acted on. In doing so, Seaforth and other like centres, are quite in line with simi- larily populated centres across Can- ada. • Grants Fail To Keep Pace With Education Costs One of the major factors in the in- creasingly higher municipal tax rate being experienced by Ontario towns, townships and cities is the extent to which the proportion of local educa- tion costs is being charged to the municipal taxpayer. Commenting on the problem, the Toronto Star suggests that some light on the problem of paying for education in Ontario is shed by the report of the Metro school board's advisory committee. One reason school boards are hard pressed and must continually raise school taxes, the report shows, is that the provin- cial government has reneged on its 1944 promise to pay'half the cost of education and has gradually reduc- ed the share it does pay. • The nearest the government got to its 50 per cent. goal was in 1945 and 1946, when it paid in grants 42.8 per cent of the total ambunt spent by local school authorities. The percent- _Farm Population Down Canada's farm population declin- ed between 1951 and 1956, according to a report issued by the Bureau of Statistics, but the average farm is larger than it was five years ago. The total area under cultivation has •virtually not changed. The report serves only to confirm what has been obvious to all who have dealings in the rural areas. It points up the extent to which agri- culture generally is undergoing a change. The bureau, in a report based on the 1956 national census, said great- er use of farm machinery contribut, ed to the changes. The number of persons living on farms declined by five per cent, or I66,241, between 1951 and 1956. In 1961; thele were 2,911,996 living on farinS corepared to 2,746,755 last The ciecrease for that five- ar period Vras proportionally great - than during the 10 -year period n 1,94t 'ad 19514:71oii710t5h;tAos- , , t'i. ,fr ' Or 7.6 per tent ,,, `,. 76 ' et ' of occufpied et• ' cent rota ation, de. age dropped to 382 in 1947, to 37.4 in 1949, 34.7 in 1952 and 33.1 in 1955. During that 10 -year period provin- cial grants to municipalities for all purposes increased from $39,000,000 to $175,000,000, the Star continues. • But whereas in 1945, 69 p'er cent of all goverment grants was paid to schools, in 1955 only 41 per cent was so designated. This means, says the report, that school boards' requests for provincial aid "have not been as great or have not been heeded to the same extent" as the demands for aid in financing other municipal services. It adds that local councils "have gen- erally lamented" the increase in school taxes. "Is the province's contribution to the local costs of education keeping pace with increased costs"? the ad- vitory committee asks. Its answer: "No, it is not." Although grants have increased in total amounts each year, the total cost of education has in- creased at a faster rate. "Premier Frost never loses an op- portunity to boast of what his gov- ernment is doing for local education. But the facts give him no cause for self-congratulation," the Star con- cludes. Newspaper Ads Pay (The Enterprise, Yorkton, Sask.) It, is no overstatement to say that hardly a day passes without some striking tribute to, or recognition of, the highly practical value of news- paper advertising. Newspapers continue to be the biggest selling media_ in the world today. -This is so whether the com- munity or communities concerned,be large or small. It is to the newspa- pers above all other advertising out- lets, whether it be magazine, radio, or anything else, that business hous- es turn to inpushing the sale of their products. Newspapers appeal and succeed as advertising media because -they are an integral part of family life.' They are a written, permanent daily rec- ord in practiCally every home.

Store Fronts Brightened Up During the past few weeks some of the mainsetreet stores have- un- dergone a• face-lifting which helps brighten up the main street. Mr: Charles St. Michael has made some modern alterations to the Supetior Food Market front and also bad some paint applied. Mr. Ray Ma- dill has completed a paint job on his corner business block.

Thanks to the broad hint from the Town Council, and probably because it became absolutely nec- essary to do something, the CNR workmen have gone ahead and repaired the crossing at Highway 4.

Intention is to lay a new storm' sewer down the middle of the street before the gravel is laid down. Then pit run 'gravel, followed by road gravel, will be installed, a coat of cal- cium put on this fall, and the whole left to settle until next year, when' black top will be laid.—Clinton News -Record. Barrel Of Fun Three men in the district prov- ed they had the "intestinal forti- tude" to appear at a town clothing store Saturday evening dressed in nothing but a barrel. One of them —.l W. Weber, Senior Street—won a free suit for performing the stunt. The "show" took place at Walper's Men's Wear in connec- tion with the store's annual sum- mer clearance sale. It attracted hundreds of spectators on both ,sides of the street. Town police had to keep the road clear for traffic. The challenge which caus- ed the hilarity appeared in an ad last week. It read: "Free suit to the first man who comes to Wal - per's in a barrel anytime after 8 p.m. Is there a man in the area with the 'intestinal fortitude' to do it?" The ad stipulated the winner could wear nothing but a barrel.—,, Exeter Times -Advocate. Hitch Up Dobbin? Exactly seventy years of service to Wingham and the surrounding community will come to an abrupt halt on August 3 when the Cana- dian Pacific Railway discontinues passenger service on its line from Wingham and Teeswater to Orangeville. It was in 1887 that passenger service was opened_ to this district, and for many years the rail line provided a busy av- enue of tralfic to Toronto and the larger centres to the east. During recent years passenger traffic has fallen off, with the increasing use of motor vehicles, and a few weeks ago a representative of the rail- way company approached the town. council to inform them that pas- senger service would be discon- tinued, a strong protest was voic- ed at that time. — Wingham Ad - From The Huron Expositor July 29, 1932 • At the Toronto Conservatory of Music examinations, held recently in Stratford, Walter McMillan was successful in passing the introduc- tory grade piano with honors. He is a pupil of Mrs. M. R. Rennie, of Seaforth. Mr. W. H. Golding, Liberal nom- inee for the forthcoming Federal by-election, while working at the Bell Engine & Thresher Co. Ltd., last Saturday had the misfortune to have his hand and arm badly cut. A number of stitches were required to close the wound, and as a result of the accident Mr. Golding was off work for a few days. Mr. William Trott is relieving constable and night watchman in the absence of Mr. H. Snell, who is on two weeks' vacation. Miss Elizabeth McLean has been successful in securing her librar- ian's certificate, according to the recent results announced by the Ontario College of Education. Mr. Gibson White has also successfully completed his year at OCE, and has secured a position as classics specialist in Walkerville Collegiate Institute. Seaforth people were quite suc- cessful at the drawing held in con- nection with the garden party at St. Columban on Tuesday. The hope chest went to Miss Annie Hart; the Kenwood blankets to .7. W.

Mr. Charles Aberhart is having the old frame addition to the store he recently purchased from Mr. Peter Dill, torn down and intends replacing it with a brick building. Mr. W. Bullard had the misfor- tune to get his shoulderblade brok- en a few days ago. A scantling fell on him while he was working at a verandah at the residence of Mr. John O'Keefe. Carl Jones, son of Mr. Robert Jones, had the misfortune to get his fingers badly cut while work- ing at the Bell Engine Works. Residents on Goderich and North Main Streets, who . desire town water for their lawns or houses, and who have not now connections with the water mains, should at- tend to the same at once, as after the pavement is put down on these streets the work will be very much more -difficult and expensive. * * * From The Huron Expositor July 28, 1882 Mr. Thomas Leitch, of Tucker - smith, has sold his farm on the 4th concession, LRS, to Mrs. Chas. Carter, of Mullett, for the sum of $2,500. e We are glad to learn that Mr. Walter Thompson intends reopen- ing the oatmeal mill in Seaforth. He expects to have the machinery in and the mill ready for opera- tion by the time the new crop comes in. A young lad named William Scott had his hand badly cut by com- ing in contact with a saw in Broad - foot's cabinet factory a few days ago. Last week Mr. Alex Forsyth, of Tuckersmith, sold two mares to Mr. Bissett, of Exeter, for the sum of $515. Mr. Forsyth left Thursday for Scotland for the purpose of importing more horses. Mr, John D. Sills ha's secured a good situation as a bookkeeper and shipping clerk with a large furni- ture manufacturing firm in Toroes to. He intends removing his fam- ily to that city shortly. iA son of Mr. James Wilson, of Blyth, aged about two years, had a ,very narroav escape from being killed recently. The little fellow was playing in the shed when a large crosscut saw, hanging up, was blown down, the teeth 'catch- ing him on the head.

During the 20 years that it took to build the gigantic Cheops pyra- mid at Gizeh, Egypt, in The fifth century B.C., the. 'workehs Consum- ed $2 million worth or onions, gar- lic and radishes. In the Bible, we find the exiled leraelites cornPlain- ing to Moses that they sorely miss- ed- the cucumbers, melops, leeks, onions and garlic which were part of their diets in Egypt. Seeds 5,000 Years Old Seeds of the primitive green pea have been found in lake mud, of areas inhabited by the Swiss lake dwellers of the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago. Cherry pits have been discovered in prehistoric caves. Apricotes, bananas, cabbage, grapes, peaches and dates are all believed to have been well known 4,000 years ago. Cocoanuts were an Asiatic delicacy at least 1,000 years before Christ and grapefruit, lettuce and plums were common by the first century A,D. Histor- ians believe man was budding and grafting apples 2,000 years ago and oranges were mentioned in Chin- ese writings of 2200 B.C. • We can thank northern Asia for apples, apricots and cabbage; China ' for peaches, pears and persimmons; India for citrus fruits, mangos, cucumbers and eggplant; the islands of the Paci- fic ocean for cocoanuts and yams; and Arabia .for dates and figs. Okra came originally from Abys- inia, watermelons from South Africa and grapes. radishes, olives, lettuce, asparagus, garlic and beets from the countries on the shores of the Mediterranean. Few Are Native Few of the popular fruits and vegetables of today are native to America. The early settlers learn- ed of corn, pumpkins and squash from the Indians and soon found such delicious fruits as straw- berries. raspberries, blackberries, plums, cranberries and blueber- ries. Varieties of grapes were al- so discovered here, but those that we normally eat today are of Eur- opean origin. Aside from these, however. the heritage of our fruits and vegetables -is found across the seas. Irish potatoes? Not at all. The "spud" traces its ancestry to Lat- in America, as does the tornato. Both. incidentally, are of the same family. The Irish monicker for potatoes stems from the fact that this vegetable became a mainstay of the Irish diet after its introduc- tion there. New Models But, ancient as is the lineage of our fruits and vegetables, today's models are a far cry from the types that existed centuries ago. For that matter, in many cases our own great-grandparents would be hard pressed to recognize some of the larger, juicier, more color- ful items on the produce counters today. These "new model" fruits and vegetables are not the product of chance but of extraordinary com- plex and lengthy procedures by plant breeders. These scientists are able to so manipulate plant genes (the elements in sex cells by which hereditary characters are transmitted) that strong points of one plant are bred into a re- lated plant. Each new variety de- veloped is tested in many ways before being offered for produc- tion. One example of improvement that has occurred even more re- cently is found in snap beans, Most of us grew up calling them "string beans". Today the term no long- er applies, because the plant sci- entists have literally bred out the strings and thus made the prepar- ation of beans much easier. Great Improvement Today we have seedless grapes and seedlesS' grapefruit, tight pack- ed bead lettuce, thicker, crispier bunches of celery, smoother, clean- er skinned potatoes, such relative- ly new varieties of apples as the Red and Golden Delicious and big- ger peaches, like the Elberta. Ac- cording to experts in the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Associ- ation, virtually every fruit and veg- etable on the market today has been improved by modern plant breeding and this work is con- tinuing steadily. Tomorrow the picture looks ev- en better. The scientists have pro- duced blueberries as large as cherries and sweet corn with a yield many times that of present varieties. Plant geneticists are working on such "hew inodele as thornless blackberry bushes and the"perfect peach," One of the most exciting develop- ments in the modern history of fresh fruits and vegetables is the extension of seasons so that many of these delicious and nutritious foods that formerly were available only part of the year are available, all year 'round.

One a the people I was' talking to there said to me, "You know, when I read your piece in 'Crossroads'4about a peaceful Sun- day, you made me homesick. I live in Windsor now and we don't have that kind of Sunday there." I don't know, but I suspect that when she reads what I'm going to talk about here she may get home- sick all over again. This happened to me on a Sun- day too. Katie and I did some- thing which I think many of us do far too rarely these days. We went visiting. Many of my friends go to the beach, or fishing, or out somewhere to a hotel or restaurant, but a lot of them have forgotten whet it is visiting. oisidttno ga. of good old-fashioned We used to do it all the time. I remember vithen I was a boy how my father used to hitch up a horse to a shining red -wheeled, rubber -tired buggy and we would take a leisurely jaunt a few miles out into the country to spend a few hours with friends on a farm, It was wonderful then and it still is if you give it a try. Because some friends were kind enough to ask us out, we made the trip. Not with a horse and buggy, I'm afraid, although 1 would like to have, but I don't know where to find one. But we took our time down the quiet concession road and I got out and opened the gate and explained to Kate that in the country you should always be careful about closing it because of the cows. And sure enough, as we wound our way down the lane, the cows were there, not moving much and we were not in any great hurry either. We were the/last to:arrive, and'. when'we got there we found a few other friends we don't eften have. a eltafice to talk to. A couple' of people I went to school with and. some old -times, whose minds were as agile as ever (one was over ninety and as spry a§ a Spring chicken), who had some mighty fine stories about other days—stor-- ies which sounded as if it had all. happened yesterday. As is the way with men, after a- while we went outside and down. to look at the spring and the darn, We talked about fishing and hunt- ing and looked at a ample of guns. We wondered whaik made springs, happen in certain places, and we - talked about a place • nearby where there is supposed to be a. bottomless hole. We went to the - barn and looked at a fine young. bull and some pigs and some chick- ens, and especially at a new weed sprayer. We wondered if there was anything in the idea that the weed spray might set up a chemical re— act* with the weeds which could. harm a beast pasturing on them. And of course we ate. The chil- dren had made straight for the' mow and had a wonderful time jumping and rolling in the fresh - mown hay, the way I did when I was a boy and my father and grandfather before me. They came in hungry as wolves, but didn't do, any more damage than the rest of us to the fine repast we helped ourselves to on the dining -room table. Afterwards, we relaxed, remem- bered things and felt the warmth. of good, honest and simple friend -- ship seep through our beings. As night drew in we drifted back to• our own homes, and I am sure, that every one there felt just like me, a little nicer and happier for finding out how wonderful it is to visit among friends in the country, Huron 4-H Members See Detroit Sights (Continued from Page 1) Contained in a monster eight - acre hall vvithin the museum are mechanical arts items. Probably the largest of all is a 60 -ton 125 - foot „long steam locomotive. Built in 1947 it was designed to haul 10,000 -ton loads of coal over the Allegheny Mountain ranges. The articulated (double set of driving wheels) 2-6-6-4 engine incorporates the ultimate stage of development in steam locomotives, now a thing of the past. Two long lines of early motor cars -175 in all—trace the history of the "horseless carriage" almost from its inception to the latest streamlined sports model holding world speed records. -All are in mint condition and look as though one could climb up behind the wheel and drive them away. High wheel bicycles that caused many persons a spill and severe bruises to their pride; the famous bicycle "built for two" and even a model with ten seats. highlight- ed another display. The latter was said to have reached a speed of 60 miles an hour with ten husky men pumping away. That was a bicycle to end all bicycles. Also in the transportation sec- tion was an honest -to -goodness stage coach, looking very much like a toy beside the mammoth steam locomotive. Even with close inspection, no bullet holes or arrow scratches came to light. In- §ide there were seats, about nine inches square, for nine people. Broad straps crossed the coach, presumably to keep the passengers from rattling as they jounced over corduroy roads and mesquite. With a small helping of imagination, it might be guessed (that very little glamour was associated with a ride in one of these contraptions, even if Jesse James himself were in hot pursuit. Presenting a jump in time of about 50 years, but probably no great increase in comfort, was one of the first airplanes to make regular 'coast-to-coast passenger flights in the U.S. A single en- gine bi-plane, the craft's open cockpit was situated to the rear of the wings, exposing the pilot to whatever the weatherman had to hand out. Passengers were crammed into the fuselage immediately behind the engine where thez. no doubt had constant assurance that the motor was going, and for diversion could manoeuver about and squint out one of two miniature windows. Again available time ran out be- fore one could begin to see half of the truly absorbing exhibits. Elsewhere in the 'blinding were dis- plays of • early Newcomen and Watt engines, and their modern counterparts, guns, cameras, corn- munications media, dynamos and 'generators, and much more.

In one huge mass they swarmed, off the sidewalk onto busy Michi- gan Avenue to reach the stadium on the other side. Traffic screech- ed to a standstill. The dumbfound- ed officer just stared, then recov- ered in time to fling up his hand. and flag down other oncoming cars. Disregarding even the limper crosswalk, marked out with White lines, the Huron tourists tramped right across the middle of the in- tersection. Right into the stadium. entrance they continued, blissful- ly unaware that they had probab- ly just set an all-time record for mass jay -walking. Although Huron's seats in the ball -park were supposed to be irt the bleachers, the management was kind et ough to substitute cov- ered seats in a better section that were not being used. A few un- suspecting Huronites climbed to the bleachers, to emerge after the game almost cooked. Next to the allotted seats, on. the third base foul line in left field. were camped about 2500 Cub' Scouts (in the city for a jamboree) who h -ad no use for New York and kept saying so as loud as they could. In fact..the whole stadium seemed prejudiced in favor of De- troit Tigers, who unfortunately dis- appointed their fans with a 3-2 loss. Arriving about 3 p.m,, after the first inning was well under way, the tourists sat for five innings of perfect ball before Kubee. Yankee shortstop, fumbled a drive by Dee troit leftfielder Maxwell in the last of the sixth to finally put a run- ner on base. From then on inter- est picked up considerably. Maxwell stole second, moved to third as team-mate Boone singled. Reno Bertoia connected off pitcher Al Ciccotte to, drive in both, giving Detroit a 2-0` lead that was un- challenged until the eighth. In that inning New York came back to score three, Coleman, Man- tle and Berra scampering home ini that order. A late attempt by. Detroit to make the changes necessary to carry off the ball game kept the fans guessing until Yankee relief pitcher/Bob Gibe= fanned the third man. Detroit was stuck with three men left on base who had no where to go. Most of the 4-H,'ers loft no time in returning to their buses. For their effort they were allowed to sit and simmer for half -an -hour. Reason? ,The buses couldn't move from their parking spots. Carr inched forward bumper to bumper with hardly a break. Later, 'a motorcycle police es- cort came to the rescue- Weav- ing in and out of Michigan avenue rush-hour traffic, the buses finally deposited their hungry load at the door of Barium Hotel, only ani hour behind schedule.
