Municipal Choices Soon
There are only three weeks now
until nominations for next year's muni
icipal councils, public utilities and
school board will be necessary.
This is the one chance in 12 months
for you to take a part in the .very
basic requirements of our democratic
system. A strong interest and partici-
pation in any community is evidence
that that system is active and apprec-
iated.
Surely, in this tine of stress when
the giants of the world have retreated
from another brink, it would do us all
good to re -affirm our belief in the
democratic way.
Tho htful ug ch is s. of men andwo-
men
e
men to represent you in the lecal
governments will help to build a st,
ronger and wiser nation.
This we can do.
Quite a County
According to statistics released by
, the Ontario government, Huron County
' is the leading agricultural county in the
province. The 1961 census of Canada
shows 623,767 acres of improved farm
land in Huron County. (The next larg-
est in improved farm land is Middlesex,
with 560,231 acres) .
Our county leads all the _others in
the production of field roots, raising of
cattle, hens and chickens. Production
in Huron of barley , .comes :second only
to Lambton; of flak, second only to
Wellington and top production per
acre; of inixed grains, second only to
Perth; of dry beans, second only to
Kent; in swine, second only to Perth.
Huron production of dry peas is
the third highest in the province and
of fodder corn, hay and field crops, she
stands fifth.
In fact, there are only four count-
ies in Ontario that have more ducks.
than Huron County.
Farmers here seem to heed the
admonitions of government to produce
less butter. Since 1957 Huron butter
production has almost halved, while
other areas have continued increasing
production. Apparently the growing
surpluses can not be blamed on Huron
farmers.
Huron farms do not produce a
huge amount of winter wheat, but the
acres planted, produce 39.5 bushels per
acre which is a better yield than any
other Ontario farm land:
Huron also can boast the most
proved pasture land among Ontario
counties.,
More interesting, even than these
records is the knowledge that . Huron
county farms produce a great variety
of products, in varying amounts: apples
pears, peaches, grapes, potatoes, sugar -
beets, tobacco, lumber, maple syrup,
rutabaga and mangolds. Probably the
only things we can't grow at least some
of, are palm trees and of course,
citrus fruits.
Just recently, meat - type rabbits
in specially built rabbitries have joined
the list of farm animals.
The business of agriculture is a
major one in Huron County — an area
where production is geared to feed
thousands more people than those who
actually live within its borders.

. By W A. T.Si1ri1i.,EY)
Remeinibr4 rte Day is in :the
offing.. It seems as gaud a
time as any to mention a ,couple
of books that deal with World
War I, that vast, ]brutal, bloody
conflict which was to en4.war.
forever (ironic laughter in the_
wings from the Kaiser, :gitler,.
and Joe Stalin) ,.
The Guns of August, by Bar-
bara Tuchrean, is ;a fascinating
account of the incredible events
of the first month of the Kial's-
er's War. Old sweats and his-
tory buffs will read it with deep
interest,
That war is almost :ancient
'history to the youngsters of
today. Their grand!f ahgtegas
fought in it. When I was a
kid, it was very recent, very
real. Mast of my numerous
uncles :lead been privates in the
Canadian army. As .a boy, I
used to coarse across souvenirs
in our .attic: belts containing
the ;inscription "Gott Mit Uns";
a German spiked helmet; an
Iron Cross, second class; a wat-
er canteen made in Munich,
* * *
This book reversed same of
my idea's, confirmed others.
Somewhere in my reacting, over
the years, I had picked up the
idea that the stories of German
atrocities in Belgium were
largely based on Allied 'propa-
ganda, and fanned by tihe heat
winds of patriotism blowing in
1914.
Apparently I was wrong. Mrs.
Tu'chnvan, writing coolly and
objectively almost 50 years lat-
er, quotes chapter and verse to
reveal that the German high
command deliberately pursued
a policy of terror in an attempt
to enjoy a quick victory.
The town of Andenne was
burned to ashes and 110 persons
shot, mot by rioting throat .n
soldiery, but on the order af,
the commanding general. At
Taurines 384 civilians were
shot. At Diinant, 612 men, w'o-
m'en and children, 50 of thein
taken from church, as it was a
Sunday, were cut down' by ma-
chine guns. The campaign of
murder, arson and pillage cul -
animated in the sack of the
ancient Belgian city of Louvain,
where the university with its
world'- famous collection of
books, was burned.
The Germans failed to learn
then tele lesson that terror
breed's resistance faster than it
quells' it. Thirty years later,
they were up to the 'same
tricks, and with the same ex -
°use — that the victims had
brought it upon themselves by
their etupid Ingratitude ,arid
their stubborn opposition to
German "law and order."
HcWever, I was not wronig,
abut another idea I've ihelid
f(>r a long time T- that most
generais should be in %trait
jackets. The book merely coons
time my opinion. Not that it
nleeded much carpfirmrn,g, with
General Walker egging- an seg-
regationists in the :south, Gen-
eral Montgomery soun;dvng ollf
on world affairs, of which the
apperenbiy knows next to noth-
ing, and various ether olid gen-
erale writing boots in which
they explain that they werle
right sand 'all other •generals
were wrong.
A book like this one must
be written &tram time to tinge'
to blow away the =pike -screen
thrown up by the charges and
counter -charges of retired gen-
erals snare concerned with their
place in history books than with
the truth.
The Guns of August reveals
ineptitude, stupidity, bh'nourous-
aness and viciousness in high
places. But it also illuminates
the flashes of ,the human spirit
contained in such words as vial -
or, honor and heroism, tin sudh
deeds as 'gallant Beligiium's
stand against the bully Ger-
many, and the dash to the
Marne, when the Maxis of Pauls
carried straight to the front the
men who turned the tide.
* * *
Early oaseallties foretold the
sickening slaughter that was to
tdllow. In the month of Aug-
ust, 1914, France lest almost
300,000 men, Later, some bet-
ties were to kill 50,000 in a
day.
If ithis meat is too strong for
you, try the other book an the
same war. Called Three ,Cheeelils
for Me, it is written by a Cana-
dian, Donald Lamont Jack. It's
corny in spots, but hilarious in
others. The last chapter, de-
scribing the wedding night of
the hero, a Canadian 'airman, ;is
one of the funniest things I've
evler tread. (No, Mum, it isn't
sexy.)
Perhaps The Gums ice August
will make you despair of man-
kind. Don't. Read Three Cheers
for Me and restore your faith
in the theory that the human
race is the ,only one worth be-
ing in.
Event if you have a hole in
your running shoes.
