EDITORIAL . a
UP TO. ,EACH ' MUNICIPALITY.
Last week :' we published •an article from
The Teeswater News expressing a justified
,:grievance. that. Teeswater and :Lireknow had,
both been omitted from a Bruce 'County map:
appearing as' an advertisement in a tourist is-
, sue of the. Qwen Sound Surd-Tiin''es. :\ , . .
The News . elaborated on 'the benefits 'ac-
cruing from the tourist trade, and proceeded , •
to . lament, that inland towns were ' not bene-
fitting niuch from this 'business. "There should
be some way we could share in the profits of .,
this great summer business", says The News.
As we see it, there is) but its up to every
inland municipality to devise their own ways
and °. means. If no effort 'is made to attract
tourist trade they'll breeze right. trough your •
burg. On the .other hand, attractive stores,.
featuring quality goods, courtesy and service ,
will soongain a reputation for any town, and
will. cause 'em to stop and shop regardless..
But other big factors are rest room accomo-
d'ation, camping' .ground facilities, hotel .accom
odation,' and restaurant service: If a town or
village can't offer these things, there is little
to .expectdirectly from '
reesoiY " to benefit the

are situated strategically sothat a.. portion' of
tourist traffic passes through our village,' then,
' if we value theirbusiness sufficiently, . its .that
municipality's responsibility to enduce;:them ":to
stop, visit with us, and spend a few v shekles
if they will. .
We repeat, we can't all 13e.lakeside towns,
nor: do''we all wish ta. be An inland town, sur-
rounded on all. sides by a prosperousrural
area, is something that some resort towns with
a • fluctual seasonal trade may well envy.
THE HOUSE FI.,T —. A HEALTH HAZARD
For years the .house fly has been recognized
as a potential• agent in „the spread of .certain
forms : iif communicable .disease. Typhoid fever,
cholera, dysentery and infectious .diarrhoea are
known to be carried by this useless parasite..
Recently, poliomyelitis or infantile 'paralysis,
has been added.. to .the list of. major diseases
whichare or can be spread in this fashion.
Common.douse• flies were collected dur-.:

munity three years ago. From these flies,:

Unlike other 'insectsWwhich .play .a. role, in
the spread of disease, the house fly . is literally
a carrier of, micro-organisms. 'These. and. 'the
accompanying particles of decomposing organic
matter are brought from, the manure pile and'
