CALLS FOR DECENTRALIZATION A plea for decentralization of in­ dustry and more direction of industry to the smaller centres was voiced by Marvin Howe, M.P. for Wellington Huron, in a speech in the House of Commons recently. Pointing out the vulnerability of the larger cities in case of war, Mr. Howe said that the government should direct incoming industries to the smaller centres, both from a national standpoint and from the angle of the industry's own good. Part of Mr. Howe’s speech follows: In my riding of Wellington-Huron there are several small towns and villages which could look after con­ siderably more people, with the result that they would be able to lessen the property and business taxes necessary to maintain essential services, as well as give the workers advantages to be found in living in smaller centres where they are more contented and where there is a closer relationship between management and labour out­ side of working hours, something which leads to better relationships within the factories themselves. The factory worker also gets away from the congested living conditions which are to be found in the larger centres, with their tremendous traffic and parking problems. Of course I realize there are argu­ ments in favour of the large cities in respect of the establishments of new industries. They have the' advantage of greater number of floating labour and skilled artisans; they may have closer sources of raw products and materials which are necessary for the production and distribution of their manufactured products. How­ ever, against this argument we have the innumerable large and small in­ dustries which probably owe their success to the fact that they were primarily established in smaller centres. In my own district I give you Beatty Brothers of Fergus, whose best known products are washing machines and stable equipment of all kinds; Fry and Blackhall’s furniture factory at Wingham, and Lloyd’s sash and .door factory in the same town. In Mount Forest we have a successful overall and sportswear fac­ tory and many others. In fact prac­ tically all these small communities support some industry, whether it be a creamery, flour mill, or poultry pro­ cessing plant; and they are all quite successful in their own right. It has been indicated from time to ■time that more and more foreign capital is looking for locations at which to establish new industry in our country. I therefore suggest, Mr. Speaker, that the government should give some direction in this respect so that industrialists may realize the advantages to be gained from settling in our smaller communities. In the economy of my riding the second phase I wish to speak about is that of agriculture. I realize that the remarks I make are applicable to many of the other ridings in south­ ern Ontario. I am particularly proud of the fact that the two couuties of Wellington and Huron, parts of which I have the honour to represent, are definitely outstanding in this respect. In the production of butter Welling­ ton county ranked fourth in the pro­ vince. It was first in the production of flax, fifth in the production of I potatoes, fourth in the production of j hay, seventh in the number of cattle | on hand, fourth for the number of I swine, and third for the value of ‘ poultry. i Huron county ranked third in the ; production of hay, third in the'pro-1 duction of field crops, first for the number of cattle on hand, second for swine on hand and first for the value of poultry marketed. These figures are for the year 1952 within the pro­ vince of Ontario. One thing that is I encouraging in my riding is the ’ number of junior farm organizations we have, particularly in the field of 4-H clubs. These clubs do a wonder­ ful job of promoting interest on the farms among our younger rural popu­ lation. Try to Understand “Difficult” Oldsters The moods and tantrums of very* old people are really not “difficult” t<? live with jf one makes an effort tp understand their causes, This was th® subject of a recent article by John E. Eichenlaub, M.D„ in “Todays Health,” an official publication of the American Medical Association. “ A person is as old as his arteries/’ Eichenlaub said. He pointed out that the signs of real old age begin to show as the arteries that supply different parts of the brain begin to wear out. Increased “crptchetiness” is the result, of this deterioration, but one who un- derstands old people will not be dis­ turbed by occasional outbursts of crotchetiness. They go as quickly as they come, and they are forgotten. The first personality change, ac­ cording to Eichenlaub, is loss of re­ cent memory. Old people who can re­ member scenes from their childhood with sharp clarity can have difficutly remembering that their grandchildren visited them a few hours ago. This is humiliating at first, and Eichenlaub said many oldsters will cover up such memory losses by accusing their grandchildren of neglecting them. Eichenlaub’s advice to younger members of the family is to take it with a smile and a friendly word. These little storms are forgotten too. His advice to oldsters is to live on a schedule, pay cash on the line or pay bills at regular intervals, and keep a memo pad handy to avoid the petty embarassments caused by inability to remember. Another change caused by arterial deterioration is intensification of im­ mediate and simple emotions. Slight peeves become towering rages. The “lump in the throat’’ of youth becomes a deluge of tears. But, according to- Eichenlaub, this change' can be wel­ comed by other understanding mem­ bers of the family when it is realized that “even an old timeworn joke or a momentary reminder of some pleas­ ant memory will pull an oldster out of the blues.” there’s diffli ahead for you in THE i t?

At least two drives of local hunters went south to jackrabbit country. The group that went to the Balaclava district came home with four foxes and nineteen jacks. The jack-rab.blt drive held on New Year’s in the number of rabbits being shot. Only four fell to the guns of the brave or foolish hunters who were out in the stormy weather. Louis William­ son, was the big gun, getting throe jacks. Bob Murrell getting the other one. Four carloads of hunters made the trip.—Wiarton Echo.
