JULY 27, 1961 Toronto Trips AM To Understanding Huron County Hog Ploducers have planned a series of tours to Toronto to aeauzitit members with the way in which their hogs are marketed. A num- ber of area farmers took part in such a tour last week. Trips Etich as th can do a world of good, for they maks- it possible for the average producer to see just how hog marketing procedures operate. As a result, he should be better informed, more interested and take a more active part in hi Local organization. A marketing scheme has value only to the extent its disposes of the pro- duct it is organized to handle. Such a scheme can not operate at full effective- ness unless it enjoys the confidence of the producers the plan serves. That is why trips such as those un- der way th Huron can do so much to advance the welfare of producers. The producer can ses.: the mechanical opera- tion involved in selling, but perhaps even more important is the knowledge he gains concerning the complexities of selling the products he produces. Mar- keting of any product today is an in- volved procedure The successful sell- ing of hogs, as well as of any other product, be it of the farm or of the factory, acquires a specialized knowl- edge just as great as that which the successful producer must possess. The hog industry, like even. other in- dustry, depends on a balance, a co-op- eration between production and sell - Environment The drive to do one's best can hard- ly be implanted by schools. It may be aided by the home, but is most likely to come as a result of the circumstanc- es in which the person, and particular- ly the young person, lives. The more affluent the society the fewer the pres- sures to auceeeti.—London Free Press. ing. This relationship can come about much more readily if there is a knowl- edge and understanding concerning the probierns of each. What better way then is there to ronke available this knowledge thin to ensure that produe, ers see the selling procedure in actual operation? Education Pays At this season of the year, when so many young people are out of school for the summer, some may be hoping to get jobs and not go back in the fart. But a warning comes from those who know most about jobs: the Nation- al Employment Service. The National Employment Service is trying to get jobs for Canadians. It has found that high school gradu- ates may be placed in jobs quite quick- ly. But it is extremely difficult to place students with less than grade 10 educa- tion. Those leaving school after grades 7, 8 or 9 are not likely to get anything but unskilled jobs at low pay. There is a still more serious aspect. ' Those with comparatively little educes tion, even if they do get jobs, may lose them. When a slow -down comes in any industry, the employees of little educa- tion are likely to be the first to be laid off. They are the least worth keeping. It is easy to understand the tempta- tions that make young paiple want 'to leave school. Earning money and feel- ing grown up may seem more attrac- tive than getting a good education. But will a poor job ten years from now, or no job at all, look attractive? The National Employment Service knows what it is talking about. It puts the truth quite plainly when it says: "Those who, for a variety of reasons, drop out of school, find it difficult to get other than the crumbs from the table."—(The Montreal Gazette).

It is 8 a.= Somewhere or other, they have picked up the notion that my entire weekend is to be devoted to togetherness. And somehow or other, that's about the way it turns out. By Sunday night I look and feel like a sales manager who has been entertaining a couple of out-of-town clients.

How I'm supposed to accom- plish these bacchanalian orgies on the $2.80 I have for spend- ing money after paying my room and hoard, she doesn't ex- plain. But she still thinks of me as the gay, dashing dog she first met, 15 years ago, and re- fuses to see the gray old wolf, most of his fangs gone, who sits across the kitchen table, assuring her with some indig- nation, that such a thing never entered his mind.

ROBERT IL HARPER VACATION PLANS The magazines are certainly doing their part to inform our people about practically all the countriesand all the strange places of the world and to kindle a desire to visit them. And perchance a few years henee the men who have few, billions to spend may be offer- ed a trip to the moon, but I have my doubts. Now consider the fact that wise men at any time and in any place on earth can find happiness and forget the moon except for gazing purposes or planting Irish potatoes in the springtime. -Marcus Aurelius wrote of a vacation in the moun- tains or in a villa beside the sea but "whensoever thou wilt," he continued, "thou mayest re- tire within thyself and be con- tent" The pagan emperor echoed the words of wise men, as found in the Word of God. Happiness does not come by having but by being, nor is the greatest store of knowledge necessarily confined to the man who has travelled the farthest. The phil- osopher Kant never in his life journeyed farther than sixty miles from his native city. It required Moses to travel forty years from Egypt to the bor- ders of Palestine. But it required only a mom- ent for him to turn from his view of the Promised Land to enter tha • gates of the city whose maker and builder is God. Just a Thought: Sometimes the road which appears most difficult is the only route to happiness. There is no future in taking "the easy -away" unless we are cer- tain of where it will take us tomorrow. (Prepared by the Research Staff of Encyclopedia Canadians) What Are Grenadiers? They belong to a large fam- ily of deepwater marine fish, widely distributed in both the Atlantic and Pacific. They are somewhat similar to cod in hav- ing large heads, usually a bar- bel on the mouth, and a deep body in front. There are two dorsal fins, the first short and high, the second long. The body tapers to a point, giving rise to the name rat-tail for the fish. They are of no commercial va- lue. After she' haehhecked on my morals, the duet begins.

Sir Hamar Greenwood (later Viscount Greenwood), who was born in Whitby, Ont., in 1870, served as the chief secretary for Ireland in the British Gov- ernment from 1920 until 1922 He was the last to hold that of- fice as it was abolished by the Anglo-lrish Treaty of 1922. Greenwood received his educe. tion at Whitby and at the Uni- versity of Toronto, where he was a classmate of W. L. Mac- kenzie King, but he took up resi- dence in England around the turn of the century. He was called to the English bar in 1906 and from that year until 1922 he sat in the British House of Commons as a Liberal, at one time serving as parlia- mentary secretary to Winston Churchill. From 1924 to 1929, when he was raised to the peer- age, he sat as a Conservative. He died in London, England, in 1948. * * When Was Canada's First Brewery Established? Brewing is one of the oldest Canadian industries. The first brewery in the country was founded by Intendant Jean Tal- on at Quebec City in 1668, Tal on's chief purpose in starting the brewery was to offer the populace a more temperate drink than the strong brandies and other liquors being import- ed from France. As Canada de- veloped, little breweries sprang up all over the country; at one time nearly every town and city had its local brewery. Most of these have disappeared, chiefly because of the impact of mod- ern distribution methods, em- phasis on higher quality and uniform quality control, rising costs and high taxes. Today the major part of the industry is controlled by comparatively few eialri 61 Te Week& Re-establishment of confi- dence in the Bank of Canada was considered a major task facing the Government. The selection of a new Governor is one of the most important prob- lems confronting the adminis- tration. A name frequently men- tioned is that of Louis Rasmin- sky, a deputy governor of the Bank of Canada. Reform of the Senate, which thwarted the Prime Minister on two serious matters, may be one of the% next election's major issues. Thirty-four Senators would lose their seats if the Prime Minister was able to bring about Senate reform establishing re- irement age of .75. Of this to - 31 are Liberals and only three are Conservatives. This would enable the Prime Minis- ter to make a large number of Conservative appointments, suf- ficient so that his Party would hold a majority in the Upper House. The fascinating ques- tion is would a predominantly Liberal Senate buy such a re- form? Mr. Diefenbaker issued a threat during the hectic days of the session, ten days before it recessed. He warned that if the Senate did not pass the Gov- ernment's customs tariff bill without amendment he would be prepared to go to the coun- try "sooner or later" on the question of senate reform (a rather poor tactic—senate re- form is either needed or not, and it presumably- should not depend on whether Liberal Senator behave in a manner satisfactory to the Conservative Government). Before he was Prime Minister Mr. Diefenbaker in his opening election campaign speech in To- ronto in April, 1957, said: "One further step we shall take in connection with a major re- sponsibility of restoring parlia- ment is to make the senate ef- fective (anyerie would not doubt now that the senate can at least be effective—the real question is whether one approves of Prime, Minister Mackenzie King there was only one way to achieve reform of the senate and that was by a coaststution- al conference between Ottawa and the provinces. And Mr. Diefenbaker often tplc- mr. King as his model in things political. Mr. Diefenbaker's threat to call an early election --possibly in November --on the question of senate reform has focussed attention on just what "re- forms" might be made to the senate, apart from the age re- duction. The issue of senate reform is one of the hoariest issues in this country for elections. It dates back to 1919 when the Liberals promised senate re- form. The Conservatives while they were in the wilderness in oposition often jibed and jeered at the Grits for not bringing about the long promised "sen- ate reform." But during Mr. King's long term in office, time brought about the reforms. Elderly Con- servative senators passed away and Mr. King waeaable to ap- point Liberal senators in their places and the Senate gradual- ly came to have a large Liberal majority. Actually "reform" for the senate means different things to different people- Tothe aver- age Canadian he is thinking in terms of strengthening the up- per house. Undoubtedly the senate's recent actions have led many people to believe that the senate has enhanced its prestige and taken its proper role in Parliament. They did this by attempting to avoid obstructing Govern, ment policy and limiting their opposition to points they con- sidered to be of principal, ra- ther than of policy. Namely, in the tariff matter, a short right of appeal from the decision of the Minister, and in the Coyne affair the right of both Mr. Coyne and the public to a hear- ing. But members of the Govern- ment and leaders of the Gov- ernment take the opposite view. Senate "reform" to them means weakening the senate. They want to restrict its powers and prevent it from blocking or thwarting t h e Government's legislation. In the 102 -member senate there are 72 Liberals, 25 Con- servatives, two Independents and one Independent LiberaL There are two vacancies. Only one political party stands for abolition of the sen- ate. That is the CCF. The New Party has not yet decleared it- self but may take a stand at the organization convention of the party in Ottawa during the first week in August The Lib- erals are not formally on record regarding the senate. IN THE YEARS AGONE Interesting items gleaned from The Expositor of 25, 50 and 75 years ago. From The Huron Expositor July 24, 1936 Major the Rev. Canon E. Ap- pleyard, M.C., has been notified that he has been awarded the Canadian Efficiency Decoration. He saw service in France from December 1916 until November 1917. In an effort to clear up the traffic tangle which exists on Main St. every Saturday night, the street committee of the town council has determined to have a trial period in which angle parking at the sides, rather than in the middle of the streeti, will be in effect. Mayor A. D. Sutherland, in common with officials through Ontario, is joining with Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Minister of High- ways, in his campaign to reduce motor accidents. Rain which commenced fall- ing early Wednesday has al- ready changed the appearance of the land in this district. It was the first rain to fall in Huron County in 52 days. Among the 75 old-time tele- graphers who took part in the centenary of the telegraph on Tuesday evening when the old- timers again manned the keys briefly, was William S. Somer- ville, now of Woodstock, but for many years in Seaforth, Dr. Harry Joynt, of Hensel', has accepted a position at Byron Sanatorium and startea on his duties the beginning' of this week. Mr. James V. Ryan is suffer, ing from a very serious attack of blood poisoning in his arm. "Sure the radio works . .

Stewart Bros. recently sup- plied the rifle team of the Col- legiate Institute Cadet Corps with handsome new military uniforms. Mr. McKenzie, the contractor for the new post office build- ing, was here this week with a gang of men, getting things in shape to commence building op- erations. The Seaforth Citizens' Band has arranged to run an excur- sion to Goderich on Monday, August 7, Seaforth's Civic Holi- day. Mr. William Lindsay, of Con- stance, has commenced thresh- ing operations this week. The fruit crop was small this year and resulted in a serious loss for district farmers. Dur- ing the storm on Monday night a considerable quantity of ap- ples were blown from the trees. • • From The Huron Expositor July 28, 1911 Mr. Scott Hays left on Thurs- day for the West and will locate in Regina, where he has secur- ed a good position. Contractor Edge has about completed the putting down of cement sidewalks for this year. About $1500 has been expend- ed in this work4 The weather this week has been alteett too cool for conk - tett, Mz,Sohn itobb ttbd the tont- • a . From The Huron Expositor uly 30, 1886 The w organ for use in First Presbyterian Church has been received and placed and will be used for the first tine next Sabbath. It was purchased from Scott Bros., musical instru- ment dealers of Seaforth. Huron athletes are rapidly coming to the front and as a rule now carry off many of the principal prizes at the games of the caledonian societies. At the Scottish games at Buffalo last week three Huron boys, viz. Archie Scott and G. Perry, of Brussels, and John McPherson, of Kintail, distinguished them- selves most signally. The school board met at Eg- mondville schoolhouse on Sat- urday to examine and consider the advisability of building a new schoolhouse. On Sabbath evening last the barn of Mr. Noah Armstrong, Hensall, was struck by light- ning and completely destroyed, together with his season's crop of hay and a quantity of machinery. Mr. W. Harris, of Day's Mins, Algoma, has sent us a stalk of wheat and one of timothy tak- en from his crops. The wheat stalk measured six feet laa inch- es, and is nicely head. Rev. Mr. Simpson, Brucefield, has had a telephone placed in the manse and has connection with the residence of Mr. Jamie- son, his precentor. The first caledonian celebra- tion and Scottish games will be held on the new recreation grounds in Seaforth on Sept. 10. A comprehensive program will be issued in a few days, and all the principal athletes and High- land pipers of Canada are ex- pected to take part.
