"REALLY NEW"
GREAT—GRANDDADDY always thought
he was In a seventh heaven when he collected
rain water in a barrel, he heated it up and had
a really luxurious' bath. •Granchnamma planned
for days ahead to save rain water, or melted
snow to have enough "soft" water to wash her
hair,
Folk lucky enough to have cisterns to col-
lect rain water have been gloating for years
about those "poor people who have to use hor-
rible hard water from wells,"
More recently scientists have come up with
artificial methods for making hard water "soft"
and the results of using this "softened" water
have proven very satisfactory to all users.
KIND OF WATER
Advantages? Well, soft water is' easy on
cooking utensils—doesn't form sediment rings
in pots, nor form in heavy cakes on the bottom
of your tea kettle. Soft water doesn't have that
irritating habit of gumming up pipes and water
tanks, with lime sediment. Soft water uses less
soap for all purposes—and is particularly effec-
tive for bubble baths.
All kidding aside, the "softening" of water
is fast becoming the modern thing to do.
In Clinton, the C. H. Epps Manufacturing
Ltd. is now producing a new type "water soften-
er" for which enthusiasm of those "in the know"
is strong. A "really new" kind of water worth
investigation.
POOR MIXTURE
Exeter Times-Advocate
THIS WEEK, and in the past weeks, the
word "rabies" has appeared more and more of-
tort in the pages of this paper, as •.in the press
'of the province. It is a dread word, and one
which has long struck terror to the hearts of
those who hear it.
It is not with any intention of terrifying
our readers that we publish news of the disease,
but with recognition of 'the dire consequence
which might arise if people are not acquainted
with the nature of it, we take space to tell how
it may be recognized, and what treatment should
follow.
Among little knoWn facts is this reassuring
one: "rabies does not necessarily develop fol-
lowing 'an attack by an infected animal—some
authorities state that only five to 15 percent of
persons' bitten, by rabid dogs, and untreated, act-
ually develop the disease." Still it is not a
disease which we would want to run the risk of
taking, Though incubation period varies from
• SPORTS AND BOOZE shouldn't mix—but
there seems to be a lot of people trying it these
days.
Most disgusting evidence we've seen of it
recently was Wednesday night at a juvenile
playoff game'in Exeter arena. Teams from St.
Marys and Wingham were battling for honors.
We didn't attend the game but we noticed
some of the fans outside the arena after it was
over—they were drunk. Some of the men who
were lookihg after one of the teams were pie.
eyed.
It was reported a teal had been sent from
one of the towns with beer and liquor.
We've seen other evidence .of this mixing,
sports and booze. It happens from intermediate
level down. It's not doing anyone any good.
Perhaps at the intermediate level it isn't
so important because the players are of an age
to realize the situation. But surely when it
reachek the minor stage, it's beyond the bounds
of common sense.
Sports should represent clean minds, strong
bodies, competition, teamwork, and good fellow-
ship. If it can't be used to achieve these ends,
let's get rid of it.
Not Socialized. Medicine
PERTINENT to current debate about na-
tional health scheme is comment of Dr. Wilder
Penfield, to whose great humanitarian work
Montreal Neurological Institute is lasting mem-
orial. "I hope," says Dr. Penfield, "that we will
never be parties in this country to socialized
medicine such as prevails in the United King-
dom."
State interference in hospital affairs gives
this eminent surgeon particular concern. "Pri-
vately-endowed hospitals," he rightly asserts,
"are less costly 'and extravagant, employ smal-
ler and more efficient staffs, and render better
service than do government-operated institu-
tions." — Letter-Review.,

Letters to the Editor
ABOUT CTA
The Editor,
News-Record,
Clinton, Ontario.
Dear Sir:
The following Resolution, adopt-
ed by the Hui-on Presbytery of the
United Church of Canada at its
last meeting, is being sent to the
Goderich Junior Chamber of Com-
merce, and to the newspapers of
this County of Huron:
"Believing that the Canada
Temperance Act is the best
liquor law available, we, the
Huron Presbytery of the Unit-
ed Church of Canada, would
urge your club to refrain from
•any action which will make
c ondition.s worse in our
County".
Yours very truly,
W. S. V. BUCHANAN,
Secretary,
Huron Presbytery.
March 1, 1956.
Startling Statistics
The latest report of Onta'rie's
Department of Reform Institutions
contains startling statistics. Dur-
ing the ten years since the war,
yearly convictions for crime have
risen from 19,132 to 46,399 and
from 478 per 100,000 to 905.
The report declares these fig-
ures "Extremely disappointing,"
even granted that an increase in
the number and efficiency of the
police force has naturally resul-
ted in a higher percent of con-
victions than formerly.
The great majority of crimes
were those against public peace
and order. Arid of the 35,376 con-
victions on the score more than
half (18,253) were for drunken-
ness with drunk and impaired
driving contributing another 8,-
182, and breaches of the Liquor
Control Act accounting for an ad-
ditional 7,539.* To sum up, liquor
was a factor in 28,974 of the 46-
899 convictions registered during
the past year.
In a word Ontario's crime stets-
tics prove conclusively that the
more liquor people consume the
more work they make for the pol-
ice, the courts arid the Reform
Institutions.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
The Editor,
Clinton News-Record,
As we have heard on radios and
read in daily papers along with
petitions from mothers and house-
wives re daylight saving time, I
'thought I'd get my two cents
Werth in on the same subject.
I would like someone to point
out to me one single advantage of
putting the hands of a clock ahead
one hour.
It has been tried out for sever-
al years, and has only added up to
the same old confusion as the first-
hour did.
All' thoughts of the day are on
education and. the 'benefits of such
to the rising generation. Mothers
and teachers alike dread the time
the clocks are put ahead, by some
one's foolish idea. The children
lose an hour's -rest each day, and
no child can do justice to his
school studies when tied and
sleepy.
I know of children who have to
travel nearly three miles to public
school and high school pupils who
have to rise by 5.30 a.m. to be
ready to catch the school bus and
be in their seats by 8 a.m. stand-
ard time.
On the other hand the farmers
dread the time the DST comes
into effect. A person working
with nature cannot change the
sun by putting on the clocks one
hour. Chickens, cows and farm
work know nothing about such
nonsense.
If we cannot abolish it entirely,
I feel sure there would' be no ob-
jection in having it for July and
August, but from end of April un-
til end of September is too long.
Hope the local councils who have
dictated to us in the past, will see
fit, in the future to co-operate by
reducing the fast time for the well
being of our younger folk.
I thank you,

HOGS AND ELECTIONS
The' Editor,
Clinton News-Record,
Dear Sir:
One of the policies of the Farm-
ers' Union is to support marketing
boards• and co-operatives, Mr.
Greig in his letter in the last edi-
tion of your paper, makes a big
issue oat 'of the fact that one
township could elect all the direc-
tors if elected' from the floor of
the County Meeting, This was not
the intention of the hog producers
that attended the meeting in Clin-
ten.
It had been suggested that a
Hog Producers' Organization be
set up in each township and have
this organization elect the town-
ship delegates. I agree 100 per
cent with this idea; I do not think
that the Hog Producers' organiza-
tion will become a dead issue as
Mr. Greig states,
Mr. Greig states, "You know
What you have in the Federation
of Agriculture," The inactivity of
the Federation of Agriculture is
the reason we have a Farmers'
Union with a membership of ap-
proximetly 24,000 in Manitoba;
75,000 in Saskatchewan; 65,000 in
Alberta; 1,000 in British Colum-
bia; 15,000 in Ontario.
In closing X would like to ask
One question: "If the Canadian•
Federation of Agriculture is. all we
need, why is the farmer at the bot-
tom of the heap today?"

A tale from two cities in Lib-
eria, Africa, tells another chapter
in the story of giving the Bible to
every man in his own language.
In both Monrovia and Tchien,
copies of Tchien Gospels of St.
John were presented and dedicat-
ed recently.
After a brief devotional service•
a box containing fifty copies was
placed on the pulpit. AU eyes
watched as the outer wrappings
were torn off and the beautiful
blue bound volumes were unveiled.
Immediately the people rose to
their feet clapping hands and sing-
ing songs of praise that the light
of the Gospel had reached their
land.
Dedicatory prayers were offered
by the pastor, deacons and mis-
sionaries. Then after copies had
been distributed, twelve people
read from the third chapter, verse
by verse, until they had passed
the sixteenth, the Golden Text for
the day. An offering 'of $4.33 was
taken, to be sent to the American
Bible Society in appreciation of
the production of the new transla-
tion.
According to Miss Annie Cress.
man, member of the Assemblies of
God Mission in Liberia, "The re-
sponse to Tchien John was much
better than it was to Tchien Mark.
More people have learned to read
Tchien by this time and perhaps
the fact that English John is more
popular than Mark may have
something to do with their re-
action".
One Tchien man is reported' to
have said after reading his copy a
bit, "John knows how to speak
Tghien better than Mark does."
