On Seeing Ourselves As Others
It is helpful from time to time to
sit back and reflect on what one has
done, and particularly give thought
to the effect which our actions have
created in the minds of those with.
whom we come in contact. Looking at
our day-to-day movements through
the eye of our friends, as it were.
This matter of seeing yourself as
others see you has value, and so we
were interested in ' a letter written
by an immigrant who arrived in To-
ronto just a few months ago. The
letter appeared in the provincial daily
which serves his, home town back in
the Old Country. It's penetrating,
absorbing and neither flatters nor
spares us. We reproduce just a few
extracts, viz:
On Work:
"It's a great country if you want to
work hard, and want to get on. But
'otherwise, don't think of Canada as
the land of the easy penny. The in-
itial test—getting your first job—is
The hardest. The immigrants I met
in my travels were all recent arrivals;
.none seemed to have been out of
-work longer than ten days.
"A working day of 71%2 hours may
'seem easy, but I can assure you that
it is 71/2 hours solid. There's no such
thing as a 15 -minute discussion on
the merits of last night's TV show,
while you get into the mood of work,
or wait for the boss to come in. The
boss is usually first in, and working
before the rest arrive.”
Earnings:
"No doubt about it, you can defin-
itely do a lot more with your money
here. The average Canadian has a
great love of material things, and
'quickly converts his .earnings into 21
inch television, a hi-fi radiogram, a
.refrigerator, washing machine, or
the latest electric cooking range. Al-
, so, every house I've visited so far
contains a set of encyclopedias,
bought from an enterprising sales -
Aman or from the local supermarket,
price 99 cents per volume per week."
'Conversation:
"The idea of `keeping up with the
'Jones family' N treated very serious-
ly here. This is particularly true
The Auctioneer
(Ottawa Journal)
A Canadian auctioneer, robust on
his platform, is •a far cry from lily -
toting Oscar Wilde writing about
each man killing the thing he loves,
but they come together in our
thoughts with the announcement that
,a horrid new device called "the
mechanical engineer" has been in-
stalled at the Toronto stockyards.
For this instrument, if widely
-adopted, will kill off the auctioneer,
a Canadian personality who has col-
ored the life of the country by be-
ing a blend of psychologist, shylock,
wit and raconteur, competent to
lure the unwary into buying a moun-
tain of useless gear and entertain a
crowd standing in the snow from
dawn till dusk.
"The mechanical engineer", if we
understand what we hear about it,
will be set in motion by a buyer press-
ing a button to show the price he is
:prepared to pay. The commission
-.agent can press another button to
register "No Sale" if the dials re -
:cording bids fail to come up to ex-
pectation.
flow inhuman that is. No oppor-
tunity for the auctioneer to bully,
cajole or jest, no chance for shy cus-
omers to raise their bids by a pre-
ranged signal such as pulling the
if ear, no, hoarse Voices or excited.

See Us
where cars are concerned .
Whenever Canadians get together,
cars are the main topic of conversa-
tion, with the seasonal spbrt of the
moment a poor second."
Criticism:
"Canadians don't take very kind-
ly to criticism, which isn't too sur-
prising when you consider just how
far some immigrants stick their
necks out."
Manners:
"The first and outstanding thing
you notice on arrival is that the
words `Please' and `Thank you' ap-
pear to be almost non-existent. In
the restaurants and soda fountains
one hears `Gimme a cawfee.' The
words `Coffee, please' make you the
centre of attention."
Children:.
"Young children are, without a
doubt, pampered in the extreme,
.most Canadians being firm believers
in. `child psychology,' and they treat
child upbringing as a highly techni-
cal vocation. The old adage about
children being seen and not heard is
the last thing that is practised here.
"A first generation Canadian I
know disagrees on this, point, but I
recall a housewarming party I at-
tended last week.
"A bouncing junior of some 'eight
years, after running in and out of
the room, screaming at the 'top of his
voice for more than half an hour,
managed to send the coffee table fly-
ing, complete with -hot drinks, sand-
wiches and cookies, over the polished
wood floor, his fond parents' only re-
action being: `Isn't it amazing where
he gets. the energy from!' "
Adaptability:
"Any intending immigrant who is
not prepared to adapt himself to fit
into this new way of life, might as
well stay at home."
What's A Nickel? .
(Kincardine News)
What will a five cent piece buy
nowadays? ,One may answer face-
tiously, "About two cents wo'rth,"
but the fact remains that there are
few things a nickel can do without
the help of some other coins.
Gum, candy bars, pop - and ice
cream cones are but a few of the
commodities which have increased in
price to get beyond the five cent
range. a
In fact, the biggest bargain for
years has been a phone call from Kin-
cardine to Ripley, or, if you prefer,
vice versa. For the. small sum of
five cents one could—and many did—
converse ad infinitum.
Now even this big nickel's worth
has departed, on order of the Ontario
Telephone Authority which decided,
with justification, that to provide this
service at the price meant a loss to
the telephone system's concerned.
So, to speak with our Huron
friends, it is now necessary to lay
out two nickels, and that for a mere
five-minute conversation. If we
can't say all we intend to in that time,
we will have to add another ten cents
for each additional time of similar,
or -even shorter, length.
After some research, we conclude
that the only thing, which now may
be bought With a nickel is a five cent
stamp.
Ah, progress!

Dear Publisher:
Being a weekly weekend visitor
at Bayfield, and liking the' village
and its people, I am submitting a
little criticism in poetry form after
overhearing numerous complaints
from tourists and summer resi-
dents pertaining to the (pot bole -y)
condition of Main Street in proxim-
ity of the Post Office, Weston's
store and the Little Inn. If you
have been at Bayfield . recently
you will understand why the sum-
mer people and natives, who drive
cars, are complaining.
Will you be kind enough to pub-
lish the attached in your valuable
newspaper.
Respectfully yours,

BAYFIELD MAIN STREET
Bayfield Main Street, ye breaker
of springs, •
Espoiler of shocks:and other things;
Ye answer to all garagemen's
prayers;
Ye cause of all those expensive
repairs.
Like an aging matron, your face is
lifted,
But each year, ere the snow has
shifted,
Thy chuckholes are back to take
their toll
Of the hundreds of cars that daily
roll
And bounce as on a stormy sea,
With people en route to the lake
for the sunset to see.
The optimist hears of thy surfacing
plans.
And tightens his fenders and daily
scans
Thy hundreds of bad spots, in hope
that they
May soon be removed, and a sur-
face to stay,
To give the motorist a smooth
right-of-way.
Oh, Bayfield Main Street, ye break-
er of purses,
No blesing on thee, but under -hat
curses.
London, July 28, 1957.
Dear Publisher: Please refer to
my recent letter, re potholes, "Bay-
field Main Street."
I was at Bayfield this weekend
and am glad to report extensive
repairs are being made on Bay-
field Main Street road, which I
am sure will makeall motorists
happy. Operations were started
last Friday and will be continued
until all the potholes are filled and
the road made safe for good motor-
ing.
Thanking you for past favours.

THAT IWA'TTEIn
SEEN IN THE COUNTY PAPERS
Rescued From Well
On Monday evening the Zurich
fire siren sent out its blasts to let
people know there was trouble
somewhere. It proved to be on
the Blue Water highway, south of
St. Joseph a few miles. Fire Chief
Milton Dietz headed the fire truck
in his own car to the home of
Lionel Wilder, where the latter had
been cleaning out the hard water
well and was on his way to the
surface when the chain broke. Mr.
Wilder . fell to the bottom of the
20 -foot well which contained about
a foot of water. Part of the chain
broke loose and fell on the man's
head inflicting wounds which bled
profusely. Not having a phone at
the home, one of the family ran
to Dennis Charrett's, a neighbor,
who called up other neighbors and
the fire brigade. With presence of
mind, neighbors used a strong rope
which was tied to a tree and with
the best 4 of care Mr. Wilder was
brought to the surface. The patient
was rushed to 'South Huron Hos-

From The Huron Expositor
August 5, 1932
While driving on No. 8 Highway,
about 11/2 miles east of Seaforth,
on Thursday evening last, a buggy
owned and driven by John O'Reilly,
of Dublin, was completely smash-
ed by a car driven by William
Finch, of Stratford, travelling in
the same direction. Rose Melady
and Joe O'Reilly were with John
O'Reilly in -the buggy, but fortun-
ately none were hurt. Both ve-
hicles were driving west when it
is said Mr. Finch was blinded by
the lights of a car driven by J. F.
Welsh, of Seaforth, whom he was
meeting, thus preventing him from
seeing the buggy.

day to attend the massed church
choir service, held during the Old
Boys' Reunion.
The annual Civic Holiday tourn-
ament of the Seaforth Lawn Bowl-
ing Club, held on the splendid
greens of the club last Monday,
was an unqualified success. The
rophy event was won by J. E.
Willis, Seaforth rink, after a close
game with Dr. F. J. Bechely's rink.
The association event went to A.
W. E, Hemphill's rink from Hen-
sall, and the consolation was won
by Thomas Johnstone's, Seaforth
rink. The Willis team consisted
of H. Star,, M. R. Rennie, J. .1.
Broderick and J, E. Willis. The
Bechely team consisted of Gordon
Dick, J. J. Huggard, F. Sills and
Dr. Bechely.
Mr. W. P. Thompson, of Tucker -
smith, got a head start on other
farmers of the district when. oh
Saturday, July 30, he cut five
teres of oats on his farm on the
second concession. The grain was
the Gopher variety and it is esti:-

On Wednesday of. last week an
unusually good 'day's work was
done on the farm of Mr. W. W.
Farran, 5th concession of Hullett,
when 12 tons of hay were stacked.
Messrs, S. Copp and John Brown-

due and his brother, the pitching,
and all of it was hauled with one
team of horses.
Mrs. James Chesney has sold
her farm, lot 7, concession 4, HRS,
Tuckersmith, to Mr. James F. El-

of $6,000. The farm contains 100
acres, 90 of which are cleared and
under cultivation.
It affords us muchpleasure to
state that J. D. Dickson and A. F.

Aid Stricken• Farmer
Neighbors, friends and members
of Zurich Lions Club are helping
Mrs. Don Hulbert keep a 75 -acre
Hay township farm going while her
husband lays flat on his back in a
100 -pound cast that stretches from
his toes to his hest. Grateful for
the assistancogEhe's getting, Mrs.
Hulbert hopes to continue operat-,
ing the farm until her' husband can
tackle the job himself again. That
won't be for another year at ledst.
Hulbert, a 38 -year-old native of
Dundas, broke his left leg for the
second time on June 22. Because
'he has a rare condition' called

the bone marrow — it'" will take
many months for the break to

leg in 1955 and was in bed for 14
months. He was just recovering—

CROSSROADS
What's In a . Ncirne?
(By ,TAMES SCOTT)
There are some place names
which are full .of meaning like
Egmondville, for example. - All of
us around these parts• know that
•t signifies that gig Colonel Van
gmond gave his name to this vil-
lage which he started a hundred
and twenty-five years ago. There
are other names which we are
sure have meaning too, but which
still remain, obscure, the facts nec-
essary to a proper interpretation
having got lost somewhere in the
din" reaches of the past. Seaforth
is such a name. True, we know
where Seaforth is in Scotland—and
it's not a town by the way—and
we know why the Seaforth High-
landers are thus called, but as far
as I' have ever been able to dis-
cover there is no one about who
knows why dur particular town
was given this name. There is a
clue somewhere; but up to now it
is lost.
To track` down place names a
fellow has to be something of a
detective. For example; I have
been interested for quite a while
in the familiar name which has
been given to the road running be-
tween Egmondville and Bayfield.
I have never heard it called any-
thing but "The Mill Road."
We take these things for granted
and yet if you stop to ask a ques-
tion or two 'you will start to won-
der where is the mill? It isn't in
Egmondville and it isn't in Bay-
field either. It is unlikely that
the road would get its name from
some mill that happened to be in
between. There are all kinds of
mills in Huron County, but few
that are important enough to give
a road a name.
It follows then that at some time
or other there must have been an
unusually important mill connect-
ed with this road. And it must
have been there a long, long time
ago because farther back than a
hundred years you can find refer-
ences to the Mill Road in the diar-
ies of the early settlers.
A little research revealed that
the read had got its name before
Bayfield—which was settled early -
but developed very slowly—had a
mill. In the early days there was
nothing but bush between Bayfield'
and Egmondville, so it was likely
that the mill was there.
And so it was. First, after
searching it was discovered that.
the second grist mill to be built
in Huron County was at Egmond-
ville (the first was at Godcrich)•>
It was in operation in 1832.
Of course I had known about the
Egmondville dam and supposed'
that at sometime there was a mill
to go with it, but the catch was
that the survey of that part of the'
district had not been recorded as
early as 1832. The first mill must
have been somewhere else.
And of course it was. I got the
clue one day when a friend of mine
asked me to go down to his farm
and look at some of the things be
had uncovered while ploughing.
There were the remains of door
sills, of wells and enough frag-
ments of brick to indicate that at
some time there had been a kiln
and storing shed there. There was
also the remnants of a primitive
dam. And all this was just be-
yond where Egmondville stands
Way.
There before my eyes were the
traces of the first Egmondville
and the proof of where Colonel
Van. Egmond built the second grist ,
mill in Huron County. At -last all ,
the pieces had fallen together and
I knew why the Mill Road had got
its name. And at the same time;
I had uncovered a chapter of our
history. That's what's in a name.
HURON COUNTY FEDERATION NEWS
By J. CARL HEMINGWAY
At the meeting of Huron County
Cream Producers' Association the
minutes of the last meeting were
read add adopted on motion of
Simpson and Delbridge.
Moved by Delj ridge and Rich-
ardson, that J. `Carl Hemingway
be appointed secretary -treasurer
for the current year, $45 to be
paid to the Federation for his ser-
vices and $5.00 affiliation fee to
be paid to the Federation.
Moved by Simpson and Del -
bridge, that committee receive 7c

Moved by Richardson and Simp-
son, that Cream Producers donate
$5.00 to prizes for dairy heifer class
and $5.00 to bel f heifer class at
the following school fairs:. Blyth,
McKillop, Belgrave and Hensall;
also purchase $10 ad in Bayfield
Fair book.
Moved by Simpson and Richard-
son, that Creane'producers pur-
chase $50 time on "Focus" on the
farm TV program.
I think Cream Producers will al-
so be interested in some facts
which I received recently from
the National Dairy Council and
compiled from data of the Domin-
ion Bureau of Statistics:
The -Canadian production of veg-
etable oils is not sufficient to sup-
ply the_requirementsof paints and
varnishes, therefore the manufac-
ture of butter substitutes is not
necessary to provide a market.
Canadian farmers produced only
10% of the total available vebe-
table oils suitable for the manu-
facture of margarine; 75% of the
total imports of vegetable' oils and
oil seeds were imported into Can-
ada duty free. •
From these' facts I think we can
arrive at the conclusion that Cana-
dian farmers are receiving prae-
tically no protection against im-
ports from cheap labor countries.
Secondly, soybean farmers are
receiving no 'benefit m
fro
