Rather, the determining factors seem to be that holidays are over, school is at hand, and the plea- sures of July and August are behind us. Certainly as far as this year is concerned, the summer has 'been about the best in years. Lots of sun- • shine, but not too hot. Pleasant breezes, but not strong enough to make unpleasant outdoor lazing. From the standpoint of the farmer, every operation was carried out un- der near perfect conditions. Haying followed seeding, and harvest follow- ed haying, and in every case the weather was excellent While the summer, which will end for most of us next week, will be but the latest in a series, for many others, it will be the last. .Statistics show that in 1956 a to- tal of 23 people were killed in traf- fic accidents, and in the preceding year 30 people were killed in Ontario. Unless each of us exercise particu- lar caution, the toll this year will be even worse.

(St. Marys Journal -Argus) Inflation has already made retire- ment a costly luxury for many peo- ple. How costly is evident from a recent article in U.S. News & World Report showing how much a man needed to provide a retirement in- come of $5,000 in 1925, and how much he would have to save to have the same real purchasing ,power today after taxes and after allowing for the toll of inflation. In 1925 a man contemplating re- tirement could look forward to a re- tirement income of $5,000 per annum if he had accumulated 91,410 and had it invested half in bonds and half in common stock. Today, to enjoy not the same dollar income, but the same real purchasing power on retirement he would have .to have saved $215,610. How to have this much money af- ter taxes and inflation have taken a crack at the pocketbook is a poser of major proportions for anyone, either in Canada or the U.S. When inflation gets out of hand it is entirely possible to be miserably poor on a millionaire's income.

Unique Cabinet At Museum An unique, century -old cabinet that took four years to build and has 13,000 different pieces of wood in it, has been received by the Huron County Museum. It was built by a cabinet maker at Kin- cardine and by will was handed down to several persons, including Mrs. Katherine Fraser Hoover, of Goderich, and eventually to Mrs. Katherine Hoover Harrison, 11026 Magnolia Drive, Cleveland; Ohio. In her letter telling of her decision to give it to the Huron County Museum, Mrs. Harrison wrote: "I felt it should go back to Canada." Inlaid designs on the cabinet in- clude those of Canadian beavers and deer and also maple leaves. It has a clock in it that runs and also a secret box that requires a com- bination to unlock. The cabinet is valued at $1,000.—Goderich Signal - Star. 01'0Charge On kepairs Magistrate Dudley Holmes served decision until Sept. 18, on a charge of false pretenSes against Arthur Paquet, LOndon, in ranee- -, tam with repair of chimneys and roof of a house occupied by Mrs, Alice Joynt, 78, Hensel Mrs. Joynt, who lives in the house be- longing to the estate of her late husband, testified she paid $461 for the repair of two chimneys, re- placement of valleys and slates on the roof and painting of the ver anda deck. Two tradesmen, Carl W. Vincent, of Grand Bend, and Dave Sangster,' Hensall, both testi- fied they would charge about $150 for similar work. Mrs. Joynt's son, Dr. William Joynt, of London, told the court he negotiated by phone with the accused for the re- pair to the tops of two chimneys only. Paquet testified he had not overcharged for his work and said the bill included meals and mile- age for his men. One of the rea- sons the price was so high, he said, is because it is dangerous work. He paid his men $10 a day. —Exeter Times -Advocate. Itiark 25th Anniversary A happy event gook place Sun- day. August 18. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Hall, Blyth, vthen the couple were honored by their two daughters :on the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary. The entire event was planned as a surprise for Mr. and Mrs. Hall and on Sunday evening some 30 rela- tives and friends sat down to a sumptuous buffet dinner. The table was centred with a lovely wedding cake. Mr. and 1Virs. Hall were married at Corunna. Ont., by the Rev. William J. Mains on July 23, 1932. Mr. Mains and Mrs. Hall were old schoolmates, both hav- ing attended Myth Continuation School at the same time. Mrs, Hall is the former Luella Parrottt, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Parrott, 9th line of Morris township. Mr, Hall is a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hall, of Londesboro. Following their marriage they lived on the 13th concession of Hullett township un- til they moved to Blyth in 1934. Mr. Hall operates an insurance busi- ness in Blyth.

From The Huron Expositor September 2, 1932 The ladies of the Seaforth Lawn Bowling Club arranged a very suc- cessful leap year jitney tourney. The men waited until they were asked to the bowling green. ' Citizens of Seaforth turned sky - minded last Wednesday to witness a great astronomical display, as the shadow of the moon plunged part of Canada and the New Eng- land States into semi -darkness. Seaforth was fortunate to see 86 per cent of the eclipse. It started about 2 o'clock and continued un- til 4:30. Colored goggles and smoked glasses were in demand by sky gazers. Seaforth and Goderich Lions clubs sponsored a crippled chil- dren's clinic at Goderich 'which proved a real success. Twenty- five mothers or guardians went away feeling that some ray of hope, eventual improvement or permanent cure would result from - the consultations. Lightning struck stooks in the field of George Bishop, near Brus- sels, and set them on fire. A downpour of rain came at the right time, putting the fire out. Seaforth's new, theatre, modern and up-to-date in every detail, will open on Thursday, Sept. 8. The auditorium has seats for 306. Furn- ishings and equipment in the new theatre are the best procurable. In 1907 when the Star Theatre op- ened, citizens were introduced S to moving pictures. The Star, a few years later, became the Princess, a name prominent for many years in town and country. During the war the Strand was opened and ran for some time, and now in 1932 Seaforth has the Regent, the fourth theatre in its history. $ $ From The Huron Expositor August 30; 1907 A little son of Mr. Harry Stewart, of Stewart Bros., fell and broke his collar bone on Sunday.

The survey was undertaken as the result of complaintsfrom in- dividuals and supported by the Canadian Association of Column- eis, that Canadian side bacon was fatter than consumers desired. First test of consumer prefer- ences was made when slices of side bacon of varyingdegrees of lean to fat were placed before visi- tors to -a Department of Agricul- dire exhibit at the Royal Winter Fair, Toronto, and the Salon `de PAgriculture, Montreal, Each visi- tor was invited to rate the samples as "good", "fair", or "poor" and as "acceptable" or "not accep- able". About 8,000 opinions were ob- tained from these tests. The per- centage of fat and lean in the sam- ple slices were measured and from the preferences expressed it was concluded that bacon with less than 20 per cent of lean is gen- erally not acceptable. About -30 per- cent of lean is required for bacon to • be classed as "good" by onezthird of the consumers or "ac- ceptable" by more than. two- thirds. Bacon in which the lean appeared in strips throughout the slice also was preferred to con- centration of the lean in one por- tion of the slice. From these preferences it was concluded that a standard top qual- ity of sliced side bacon should have a minimum of 30 per cent lean area and be drawn from the cen- tral portion of a slab of bacon. The question • remained — would consumers buy such a grade of bacon consistently at a sufficient price premium to justify its intro- duction of the retail market? To obtain this information stan- dard Grade A Lean bacon was •selected and placed on sale in three supermarkets in widely sep- arated sections of Montreal, Ed- monton and Toronto. The bacon was wrapped in 1/2 -pound packages identified only as Grade A Lean and offered for sale in display space alongside other side bacon, at a premium of six.cents a pound over top quality commercial brands. At first only a placard drawing attention to it was placed at the counter, Later an attractive dodg- er was distributed to customers and girls were stationed -in each store to demonstrate the Grade A Lean bacon. They were instructed to draw customers' attention to it but refrain from any active at- tempt to sellit. • The period of sales testing ex- tended from three to five months in the various stores. The demon- strations noticeably increased sales _and when discontinued sales drop- ped temporarily but soon stabiliz- ed at about 16 per cent of all side bacon sold in the Edmonton stores concerned; 9.5 per cent for the Montreal stores and 7.4 -per cent at Toronto. In all three cities the retailer carried at least one other top brand that did not sell in as great volume as Grade A Lean hfter the demonstration. Volume of Grade A Lean gold at a premium over other brands of bacon in these tests appears to correspond fairly closely to the amount of Grade A,„Lean available in the total bacon supplies on the market. Numerous tests made in various provinces in addition to the grading necessary for the sales program indicate what .the per- centage of Grade A Lean would be, and it appears that present hog quality will provide from 10 to 15 per cent of Grade A Lean side bacon, Limited study indicates that Grade A carcass yield the ' most Grade A bacon but the relation- ship is not consistent. Many top grade carcasses do not have top grade side bacon cuts and some lower grade ,carcasses will yield top cuts when trimmed but in general Grade A carcasses produce the highest ratio of Grade A Lean bacon. From these tests the Marketing Service concludes that it is pos- sible to establish and maintain a fixed standard of leanness in side bacon; that such a standard can be mechanically' and economically produced in present day_ process - in goperations; that regular trade personnel can make the selection under occasional supervision and checking, and that consumer ac- ceptance indicates all the Grade A Lean now available could be sold at Some priee premium over regular top brands. Copies of the full report on the survey are available on request from Infortriation Service, 'Depart- ment of Agricultime, Ottawa.

If be isn't, some reader is going to say a few words to him about same. I Aglow about this because a couple of incidents_ lately have - brought it all to my attention. Not long after I wrote about my views on today's driving I met a friend of mine on Main Street who said, "I met, you on the way to London last vveek." Well, that was very likely because I bad driven to London that week. "You were going to beat the band," he said; "it's a wonder you didn't get 'a ticket." - Caught out! And not very much I could say about it. Oh sure, I had the usual excuse. I had an appointment and had got started a little late and I didn't want to keep anybody waiting, but what's the use in that? In print I bad said I didn't think much of people who' drove carelessly or recklessly on the road. In practice I had been caught not being too _careful my- self. You see how it goes. And just this week I was stopped again, this time about making cof- fee in capper boilers. Now there is something which I never thought would get me in trouble, but it did. My critic this time had a story to tell. "I have been to those good old- fashioned parties where they made gallons of coffee in a boiler," he said, "and f remember One -"in Particular.

The same applies to a lot. of things. And that includes human: beings.

I doubt if there is a man or woman alive who. at some time on other. haSn't d-ne some- thing or thought something shame- ful. That's the way it is in thi very imperfect world. But happily. for all the bad thaf's• in us, there is a lot of good too. IC prefer to like some one for his good qualities and I would just as soon not know about his bad ones. But don't misunderstand me_ I'm not saying I would have en- joyed that cup of cofee either! HURON -COUNTY FEDERATION NEWS By J. CARL HEMINGWAY- On August 16 I had the oppor- tunity of attending the Middlesex Beef Producers` barbecue at Polar Hill. This is a trew event in this part of the 'country, which 1 can heartily recommend if you ,are hungry and enjoy beef. The cuts used were prime rib roasts, of about 25 prads each. These were cut from steers weigh- ing from 1200 to 1300 pounds. Be- lieve ine, the meat was delicious! While enjoying this fine food I began wondering about costs. To- day -I went over the livestock and meat trade reports for the past few weeks. I found that beef was returning from 71% to 77%, -of the equivalent in pork to the producer. Beef; I have always understood, is a more popular meat than pork; its nutritional value is high; it re- quires much less processing than pork, so that the producer should get a higher percentage of the con- sumer's meat dollar. Why, then, is beef selling at a discount to pork? I will try to give some of the possible reasons, and with your help we may arrive at the right answer. Could it be that it is due to the ban on pork imports from U.S. while beef can and did come in, to the equivalent of 55,000 head in 1956. Could it be due to the lack of a strong beef producers organiza- tion? The support of the beef pro- ducers was so feeble that it in rumoured that the livestock com- missioner hesitates, at putting the' request for a ten -cent Leavy into, effect. , Finally, could it be that the Hog. Producers' Marketing Agency Is the reason for the very favorable position of the hog producers for the past eight or 10 months? One thing I would like to im- press upon you, whie you are con- sidering the above possibilities, is the fact that there isn't an over supply of beef in Canada. We are not importers of beef. Neither is it .lack of money on the- part of the. consumer.

SUBJECTS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS With' the harvest in Ontario in full swing, farm machinery is be- ing put to its greatest use during the year. And this year. as in other years, farm machinery acci- dents will exact their heavy toll, among those who operate them. Careful attention to a few safety measures can make farm machin - torture the unfortunate victims as they drive by. • The job of controlling weeds and brush on 'roadsides is not an easy one, but with the development of modern chemicals and suitable equipment, is both practical and economical. The most effective means of control is to sprayevery mile of road every year with power spraying equipment owned by the -municipality. For the first year or so every foot of roadside should be:sprayed, Then as sus.," eeptible Weeds and brush are kill- ed off, good control can be had with spot spraying. Tree types of weed tilling chemicals are used on roadsides; 2,4-D is the cheapest and should' be applied at not les than 24 Minc- es of amine or low volatile ester 2,4-D acid in 75 gallons of water per acre;"2,4,5-T and brushkill are more effective oh hard -to -kill Weeds and brush, or a mixture of Atlacide and 2,4-D' in sortie cases has been found to be very effectiVe.
