Vital Appeal
Air 'Controversy ,
Over Marketing
Just in ease you didn't read that
yellow and black pamphlet you received
in the mail last week, we're going te re-
print its message here because it is an
important appeal
The pamphlet depicts a group of
ykople—�f all ages—with happy smiles on
their faces. The cover says "There's a
Heart -Warming Story behind these.
Smiles . . ."
Read the rest of this, won't you?
"It's the story of how thousands of
Canadians, with your help, have triumph-
ed. over the bandicau of blindness.
"To most of us who lead normal, hap-
py lives, smiles come easily enough. To
thehandicapped, a senile is often a badge
of courage, an effort of will. And few are
More sorely handicapped than the Man,
woman or child who is blind.
"That's why we who are privileged to
lend a helping hand can find special pleas-
ure and warmth in the smiles of our blind
neighbours. Those smiles symbolize the
"new deal" —the emancipation of the
• sightless made possible by your support
of The Canadian National 'Institute for
the Blind.
"They speak of happiness replacing
• 'despair—of usefulness replacing futility—
of independence replacing helplessness.
They reflect the sunlight breaking through
the shad.ews„
"Because you have helped them,'
through The Institute, most Blind. Canad-
ians today walk erect and confideht—free
• of the mannerisms and peculiarities that
once marked them as a group apart.
"The CNIB has done its job well. But
much remains to be done. In the words of
Institute President Lewis M. Wood, "We
lutist avoid. a tendency to rest 'upon the
plough, complacent with the field.. we have
furrowed. We, must be inindfial of thoSE
not yet acquainted. with The CNIB, aim-
lessly- groping, bewildered by the calamity
!! of blindness. We have won a place in the
world, but we must maintain it. We must
not fall back. The harvest still , lies
ahead."
The C.N.I.B. in London is going a
magnificent job. Many people in Huron
have seen and admired at first hand. the
services provided in the .new centre.
Groups from this county make periodic
visits to entertain the blind there or con-
tribute toward the work.
Give generously to the current cam-
paign. You know you're money islbeing
well spent.
Too Timid?
Canadians may not like being called
timid when it comes to risking their hard
earned cash. But a. special report on U.S.-
Canadian investment, says the Financial
Post, certainly points that way.
While American investors have been
pouring more money into oil, gas, mineral
ancl other expanding Canadian industries
what have Canadians been doing? Canny
Canucks have been buying back Cankban.,
bonds and debentures, held in the United
• States. In other words while Uncle Sam
has been taking a chance and expanding
• his holdings, we have been using our
extra cash for paying off the mortgage.
For a Jong time to come„ unless we
wish to stagnate and force our young
people to emigrate in search of jobs, lite
are going to need foreign capital to help
in Canadian development, There are
simply not enough of us, especially" with
capital, to d� the job ourselves. But some
reasonable balance must be retained or
weare liable to lose Control over -our own
vital development. No self.respeCting
country can afford., to let that happen.
, Since we're not a hog producer, we
don't know enough about the .current dis-
pute between the co-operative and Theo-
dore Parker's protestants to make a fair
appraisal of the controversy but we have
a- suggestion to make to producers who
aiic;e2rying to keep informed on the situa-
tix. Producers, will find in this week's
paper two items of interest. The one, on
this page, is a letter from Parker explain-
ing his stand. The other is the announce-
ment of a meeting sponsored by the Huron
County Hog Producers Association which
will be held. in the South Huron District
High School on Wednesday, September
28.
From the discussions we have heard
and participated in, we know that many
farmers are confused about the marketing
scheme. Some of them have misconcep-
tions •of what it •entails and some don't
understand •how the new direction pro-
gram will be operated. The open meeting
at the high school will, give producers a
chance to get the answers to their quest-
ions.
Those farniers„ particularly, who are
opposed to the scheme should. at least be
fair enough to hear the co-operative's side
by attending the meeting. Those who sup-
port the marketing scheme should read
Parker's •casei too.
Many rumours and counter -rumours
.have been circulating around about this
hog marketing controversy and it's time
some of them are cleaned up. Perhaps the
meeting and the letter will help to do
that.
At any rate, producers are -too vitally
affected by the schende to ignore what's
going on. All -should read Parker's letter
and attend the high school meeting.
Lump', Of Soil
o (By Georges Maheux)
No treasure on earth is as valuable
as a simple lump of soil. It is the very
core of life from which all organisins
. emerge, and it is the: basis, for the pros-
• perity of all nations.
A mass of sand or clay, mineral frag-
ments, scraps of plant and animal matter
all bound together, a lump of soil absorbs
water and solar energy and harbors a
swarm of living things. In this minute
laboratory, the very leaven of life is
evolved, A. tiny seed finds in it the heat
and ntoisture necessary for germination.
Here, too, is a storehouse of food; as-
similable elements from which rootlets de-
rive nourishment that is passed along to
steins, leaves and fruits, All this from a
simple lump of soil!
However, the soil can only give forth
what it possesses. If rich .in nutritive
elements, it can produce an abundance of
food for man and beast; lacking such re-
serves, it can only grow weak plants and
poor crops.
Here is where Science intervenes. It
devises improved methods of tillage. With,
chemical fertilizers it adds to the soirle-
quired quantities of the food it lacks. It
has even developed "custom made" seeds,
brim full. of strength and vitality, which
enclose all the desirable characteristics of
species, variety, productivity, early matur-
ity, rapidity of growth and. resistance to
disease. Science expands the wonders of
the soil, thereby increasing harvests and
improving the quality of agricultural
products.
Picking up a bit of soil, the farmer
runs it through bis fingers to feel its
texture, its body, its resilency. He sniffs
at it and all but tastes it. This handful of
earth symbolizes the myriads of others
that make up his fields, his vegetable
garden and his orchard. He can ,well lift
his eyes heavenward in thankagiving. Let
him be thankful also for the diSqoveries
of Science which multiply a hundredfold
the. results of his labor.•

By M. E. mituNgps, President •
This is a sad day for a man-
ager and a bunch of young 'ball-
players of this town.
I'm referring to .Alvin Willert
and his Bantam ball team—it's
really rough on these youngsters
to get put out of competifioa the
way they did when they had such
a good chance to win the On-
tario championship.
In case any of you don't, know
what I aim talking about,' our
Bantam ball club was rpled out
on a protest from the £West Lorne
team and their manager.They
protested that Jim McDonald was
an ineligible player and therefore
the Wednesday game was ;forfeit-
ed to West Lorne and that meant,
they won the series. The reason
that Jim was an .ineligible player
was h t lie lost his birth eeftii-
cate, and it had not been sent in
By Walt Disney
• with the eertificates which are
required by the O.B.A.
NOT you are going to ask who
is to blame for this and why did
Alvin not have all the certificates
at the Wednesday game. Well
this can be blamed on two men-
' firstlY, the secretarymanager of
the W.O.A.A. Alfred' Locheridge,
of Winghwm, and secondly, the
recreationaldirector 'for Exeter,
Dong .Smith. I think that Doug
Smith should have seen that all
the certificateS were in order and
that they were derwardeg to the
proper officials, which the did not
do. In fact, he had little or no
interest in. the team during the
whole season. that I could see.
As for 'Arvin Willert, the manager
of the ,
ex-
perience :in 'administrative mat-
, tors concerning baselball. I think
he should be congratulated on the
job he did rather than blamed.
Froin what 1 Cau gather, we
also get a rough deal from the
