Is there room in urban centres such as Seaforth, for a 4-H type program in which town girls may gain the same training that rural girls obtain? The Acton Free Press believes there is, and offers these reasons in support of the plan. "Recently officials celebrated the 50th anniversary of 4-H club work. To those on the farms of the area the 4-H pro- gram is a familiar topic. To those in the urban centres the program is not as well known. This is the unfortunate part. "A survey conducted in Saskatche- wan two years ago supported the idea that 4-H clientele was not necessarily a rurally oriented one. Indeed the fig- ures revealed that most 4-11 leaders feel that 4-H programs should be for all young people rather than for those who live on farms or in strictly rural communities. 'We have felt for some time those rural children who participate in the 4-H program for girls and boys have a distinct advantage in the practical knowledge they gain that will be use- ful, whether they continue in farming or seek new fields. The girls particular- ly, in their 4-H homemaking 'courses, gain practical knowledge that will be valuable. "Ideally the 4-H Homemaking cours- es should be available to the urban as well as rural girls. It would surely serve as an extension of knowledge that might be gained in home econom- ics classes 'and would certainly benefit the girl when she, might begin home- making on a full time basis. Whether urban centres could ever find the volunteer leaders who could carry out the program or not, is diffi- cult to determine. There always seems to be sufficient leaders in rural districts which fact speaks highly for the adults of those sections. Whether the girls themselves would be interested ds also an unknown factor, but the field of activity for girls always seem more limited than for boys and the girls might welcome a new opportunity for self-improvement. "The need for this self-help and ex- pansion of practical knowledge for both boys and girls exists. Perhaps the town - centred Scouts, Cubs, Guides and Brownies provide something that is not commonly available to rural chil- dren. We do feel, however, that the 4-H program, particularly for the girls, could find common ground in the town or in the rural home. Tailoring, nutri- tion, preparation of vegetables—these are all subjects that appear from time to time, with many more, on the list of activities for the club girls. Surely their appeal is equal in the town or country. "Perhaps the 4-1-1 program is being carried on in some towns in Ontario. If so we haven't heard of it. If not, why can't it be? The professional di- rection for the program comes from the Ontario Department of Agriculture but this should not Iimit it to rural communities if the program is as valid as we feel it has come to be in its- 50 years." Dental Lack Serious in Huron Being one of those communities lack- ing dental service, there will be more than ordinary interest in these editorial comments in a recent issue of the Gode- rich Signal -Star : "Last Friday 124 new dentist gradu- ated from the University of Toronto. Last week at the Ontario Dental As- sociation convention at Toronto, On- tario's grave shortage of dentists was discussed. "Of the 124 dentists who graduated last Friday, 80 come from the Metro Toronto area — and will be practising in it, or other Southern Ontario cities. Only a dozen of them come from small towns to which they may or may not return. 'The plain truth is that rural and Northern Ontario are being severely deprived of dental care. The Toronto Star quoted Dr. Stewart,A. MacGregor, of the faculty of dentistry, as follows: `Toronto has one dentist for 1,670 peo- ple. Huron County has one dentist for every 4,500 people. And Huron County is SOUTHERN Ontario. In the north bush country the shortage., of dentists Car For Mailmen Have you ever watched a mail cour- ier delivering to rural boxholders throughout the country? If you have, you probably noticed the difficulty the driver of the car goes through in try- ing to reach from the driver's side of the automobile to the passenger side, to slide the mail in the box. Most of the couriers try to drive their cars from the passenger side, a method which is • probably not the most highly recom- mended from a safety outlook. It is time for the car manufacturers to decide they should help the mail courier, and manufacture a special car for them with' all controls on the right side. This would indeed be a help. But the way we see it, they still face that one big obstacle, and .if the manu- facturers were to co-operate in develop- ing a new style of car they would find themselves in a favorable position with the rural mailman. Of course, before any big decision such as this were to be undertaken, it would be necessary to eheck • with the law 'to see if cars wotiId be permissable on our highways 'with the controls it the opposite 'side. is desperate'." Says the Toronto Star: What can be done to reduce the short- age. Ontario needs another dental faculty. Health Minister Matthew Dymond and others have talked about a second den- tal school, but so far it is still talk. More high school students have to be recruited into the pr fession, and par- ticularly from the mealier towns. City - raised dentists stick to cities: "The dental association has had a recruitment drive on for a couple of years, but it is not very successful. There are two main reasons: cost and e4cational qualifications required. Five years at dental school cost an out-of- town student $10,000 to $1100. There are not nearly enough bursaries to as- sist a student of modest means. "As Dr. MacGregor emphasized, the quality of 'education in rural secondary schools also has to be improved so that more students from them can qualify for entrance to the dental faculty." How They're Lost Why do companies lose business? Where do "lost" customers go to, any- way—and, more important, why? Is there a sure-fire key t4repeat sales and, if so, what is it? AII. good questions, the answers to which every salesman we've ever met would dearly love to have. They just possibly are to be found in the results of one recent survey. The percentages are certainly interesting. Of all losses in customers: 1% were lost through death; 3% were lost through removal ; 5% left to buy from a friend or rel- ative; 9% left to buy at lower prices; 14% left because of unadjusted com- plaints ; 68% left because of indifference and lack of interest. When it comes to losing customers, there's obviously nothing, but nothing, quite so effective as "indifference and lack of interest." Give the customer the impression that you'd like him to "get lost" and he'll do just that. --Blen- heim News -Tribune. IN THE A R AGONE,Interesting items gleaned from The Expositor of 25, 50 and 75 years ago. 11L�11►1 "With automation taking over, and 75% of the wealth being , controlled by women, I'm beginning to think the only SAFE career is to be a gigolo." A MACDUFF OTTAWA REPORT RUSSIAN ROULETTE OTTAWA—"They have learn- ed nothing and they have for- gotten nothing," Talleyrand is reputed to have once said of France's Bourbons: The same thing might be said with equal force about Canada's Conserva- tive Party. If there was any issue in the last Federal election beyond that of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's capacity to gov- ern, it was the issue of accept- ing nuclear arms for Canadian forces at home and abroad. Mr. Diefenbaker gambled the whole outcome' of the election on his judgment that the peo- ple were opposed to the accept- ance of nuclear warheads for the $700,000,000 worth of nu- clear weapon carriers which his Government had ,acquired or was in the process of acquiring. It was his judgment that in coming out in favor of fulfilling this committment, Liberal Lead- er Lester Pearson had fallen in- to a fatal trap. With the defeat of his own administration and the return of a Liberal Government, even in a minority position, Mr. Diefenbaker's political judg- ment was proved wrong. He made a basic and fundamental error in his assessment of pub- lic opinion. Thus far, however, neither Mr. Diefenbaker or his Party have displayed any indication they learned anything whatever from the outcome of the elec- tion. With the election over and a new Government installed in office, there seems to have been a general feeling abroad in the country that the politicians should, for the time being, lay aside their partisan quarrels and concentrate instead on the business of dealing with the problems facing the Nation. Mr. Diefenbaker and his col- leagues apparently have sensed nothing of this feeling. At the first opportunity, the debate on the speech from the throne out- lining in the most general terms the program the Govern- ment intends to put before Par- liament this session, the Con- servatives jumped into the fray with niggling, carping criti- cism. It was of much the same kind as that of which Lester Pearson was guilty when he first took over the Liberal lead- ership early in 1958. The debate on the Speech from .the Throne provides a traditional opportunity for the Opposition to move a motion of want -of -confidence in the • Gov- ernment. Since the Government has yet had no opportunity to lay its program before Parlia- ment, the Conservatives might have been well advised under the circumstances to forego the opportunity "and wait until they had a specific program before them to criticize. Mr. Diefenbaker chose not to follow this course. Instead, he presented a motion in which by indirection he took full credit for the economic growth of 1962, and expressed regret that the new Government had not incorporated all of its election promises in the Throne Speech and also that it had failed to provide full opportunity for continuation of the social ad - IME ANDY FAMILY IT'S LIKE WALK- ING THROUGH A SPIDERWEB [MN TTHESECA THErro SMEW - WEL.t- My tO-IT- vaJRSELF GENIUS -WHY XWt YOU SEE IF YOU CAN REMEDY The •CATION? str vance and economic expansion of the previous year. It may well be that the ex- pansion of the economy in 1963 will not match that of 1962• The growth of national produc- tion last year was the greatest there has been in any year since 1956 and far surpassed anything seen in other years when the Conservatives were in power. This rapid upturn was no more likely to be sustained whatever party was in power. When New Democratic Party Leader T. C. Douglas moved a further amendment condemn- ing' the Liberal Government for its decision to acquire nuclear warheads for Canadian forces, Mr. Diefenbaker moved back in- to the fray with a re -hash of all the election speeches he made across the country prior to April 8th, condemning the Liberal party for its decision to support the acquisition of the warheads for weapons al- ready acquired by his Govern- ment. Before the election campaign began, Mr. Diefenbaker'disclos- ed that his Government had in- itiated negotiations with the United States to have nuclear warheads accessible south of the -border for Bomarc missiles in Canada in 'the event of an emergency. At the same time, he indicated he would leave to the decision of the North At- lantic Treaty Organization which met in Ottawa recently whether Canadian nuclear -carriers in Europe should continue to oe retained for that role. When the roll call' was taken, the House witnessed the incred- ible .sight of the Conservative leader and his colleagues ris- ing to support an NDP want -of - confidence motion condemning the Liberal Government for in- tending to acquire warheads for the nuclear carriers purchased on the decision of the Conserva- tive Government. The suggestion from Gordon Churchill that the Conservatives were supporting the motion be- cause they considered it was directed primarily against the Liberal decision to acquire war- heads without prior parliamen- tary approval was as weak as a Liberal explanation last ses- sion about its support for the famous Social Credit debt -free money motion. Moreover, the Conservatives never at any time promised to obtain parlia- mentary approval before taking similar action. Although there is one thing virtually certain—that the elec- torate does not want to pe fac- ed with yet another eleetioln— the opposition as a whole en- gaged in a dangerous game' of Russian roulette on the NDP motion. Only the absence of a number of Conservative MP's and -the support of four Social Crediters and two Conservatives gave the Liberals a narrow 11 - vote edge. Had the six opposi- tion members not stipported the Government it would have been defeated. The consequences for the opposition if it had result- ed in a third election over a year are terrifying to contem- plate. Not content with this brush with disaster, the Conservatives rushed on to new folly within the space of another week when BY LLOYD www 4 5O.. p4D MADE A RETRACTABLE CLOT(IESLINE e0Lr 9ASEMENT coma roar CLOITIESLINE KNOiiE Y e.

Ontario's 1939 motor markers will have white numerals on a black background and will be of the new "spectrulite" con- struction, furnishing unusual vision by night. The house committee of the Seaforth Golf and Country Club has completed extensive altera- tions to the clubhouse, which will add much to the £onveni- ence of the members. The weatherman dished up a lot of cold and wet weather over the 24th of May holiday. Abandonment of plans to re- model and bring up to date Seaforth public school building was decided upon at a meeting of the board on Monday night. The first of the Sunday eve- ning band concerts will be giv- en by the Seaforth Highlanders Band in Victoria Park on Sun- day evening, under the direc- tion of E. H. Close. From The Huron Expositor June 6, 1913 The Band favored the public with an open-air concert in the park for the •first time this sea- son on Thursday evening of last week. The music was much appreciated by the large crowd present. If rain and warm weather do' not come soon, the hay crop in this vicinity, which promised so well earlier in the• season, will not amount to . much. The new street letter boxes, to the number of twelve, have arrived, and will, no doubt, be placed in due course. These newt boxes will require the ser- vices of a letter collector. More than one million copies of Scriptures were distributed in 1962, according to reports re- ceived from three Asian Bible Societies. The India and Ceylon Society announces a total circu- lation of over' 3,500,000. Dur- ing the same period the Japan Bible Society reports distribu- tion of 2,716,170, while the Korean Society ranks third with 1,139,247. In South America, the Bible Society of Brazil achieved an all-time peak of nearly 4,500,- 000, while Argentina Bible House reports over 3,000,000 copies of Scriptures circulated there, The people of South Africa, it is announced, buy more Bibles per capita than in any other nation in the world. Last year The British and Foreign Bible Society sold 250,000 Bibles there in 60 languages. The de- mand is increasing at such a rate that the Society Can hard- ly cope with all the orders on hand. Suggested Daily Bible Readings Sunday—John 8:31-59 Monday—Matthew 25:31.46. Tuesday—Mark 13:1-13 Wednesday—Mark 10:17-31 Thursday—Matthew 18:1-14 Friday—Luke 12:49-59 Saturday—Luke 19:1.10. Canada's first televesion sta- tion was opened in Montreal in 1952; the first radio station in Canada was opened in the same city in 1918. The towns of Rock Island, Quebec, and Derby Line, Ver- mont, share a public library that straddles the international boundary. Mr. Churchill read the record of the House a letter alleged to have been written by U.S. Ambassador Walton Butter- worth to, the Liberal Leader last January congratulating him on his nuclear weapons stand and contending the Conserva- tive Government was unfit to continue governing the coun- try. Photostatic copies of the let- ter were in the possession of. the Conservative Government before the election, but they dared not to use it for fear it would boomerang. In opposition the Conservatives' judgment ap- pears to have become even more badly warped. Prior to the election Mr. But- terworth advised the Govern- ment that the letter was a for- gery. All the circumstances sur- rounding it, including its an- onymous dispatch from London to several Canadian newspa- pers, its form of address and its content clearly suggest that it was a forgery contrived for political purposes. The gefaer<al 'feeling here is that the outcome of the first weeks of the present session is any indication, the Conserva- tives had better give some urg- ent thought to finding new lead- ership in keeping With the tunes at the earlfest moment possible. There were several carloads of very fine horses shipped from Seaforth station this week. Mr. James Archibald shipped an exceptionally fine lot to To- ronto, and Mr. Sparks sent a load to the West the same day. Mr. J. E. Willis, one of Sea- forth's enterprising shoe deal- ers, sold over $400 worth of shoes on Monday Last.
