• Why the odor?
4 . =
That odor has been with us again, that all,
enveloping smell that Seems to he a, stImmer trade-,
• park of Exeter.
Why?
The town has invested considerable funds—
OVer $6,000. we believe—to provide for proper dis-
posal of the canning plant effluent. The company
-
made a number of changes to alleviate the situa-
tion. Yet it persists.
Is it faulty operation of the equipmei.t? In-
adequate equipment? Or senile other reason?
Sewerage disposal experts have indicated it
is possible to eradicate the odor. Yet it continues
to make its uncomfortable, nauseating presence
known.
Town council has accepted responsibility
for disposal of the sewerage. Council, therefore. is
responsible to the citizens for the odor.
Citizens have made allowances in the past
for the smell, because of the significance of the
expanding canning operation here and because they
have been assured that measures were being taken
to get rid of the odor.
Since it continues, it's time council investi-
gated ty. We don't want another summer of it,
if it can be avoided.
It's possible. certainly, to "get used to" and
'live with" the odor. It may not bother too many
of our citizens now, But think of the effect it must
have on the many visitors here in the summer, on
the thousands of tourists who drive through the
town. It's giving us a bad reputation, to say no-
thing of the unfortunate aspersion it casts on Can-
.adian Canners Ltd. The company's extensive ef-
.'forts to improve the quality of their products can
be quickly lost by the striking impression travel-
lers receive from that odor.
Let's get rid of it.
Popular park
The Pinery provincial park is breaking re-
cords every week. This season, despite the wetness
of it, over 4O mor more campers have enjoyed the
facilities than last year, when the weather was
better. Sup't Gar Meyers and his staff have had
their hands full providing accommodation for the
crowds,
What's the reason? All reports indicate the
camping craze is just beginning to reach its peak
'in Ontario, indeed in North America. But there's
,more involved in the Pinery success than that,
We think this recent letter, received by Hon,
S. W. Spooner, Lands and Forests minister, con-
tains some of the answers. It was written by a
delighted camper at the park.
"Several things contributed to a very en-
-- .. : . • • • • • •• • • - , • • •;Y- ' •
Sugar and Spice
After nearly fifteen years of
complete bewilderment, I think
,Thin beginning to understand
'the Old Battleaxe at last, This
!summer, I'm taking a course
in psychology, and it fits her
like a suit of wet long under-
wear.
I used to think she acted the
way she did because she was
a, woman. Or because she had
.a. large dollop of pore Irish in
her. Or because I wasn't mak-
ing enough money, or wasn't
a. good enough father. or
;didn't do the chores around
the house. But it wasn't any of
these things. It was because
she's just about as psychologi-
cal' as they come.
It's all beginning to fall into
a pattern. When I began tak-
ing these 1 e c t u r e s, there
seamed something familiar
abdut them — as though I'd
taken the course before. Then
1 realized that my wife was a
walking case history. and that
she'd practically every one of
;the neuroses we were discus-
sing, at least once.
Only last week, • I realized
that all these years, she's been
suffering from an inferiority
complex. As the fellas say, ya
coulda fooled me. But now
trained in psychology, 1
'can see the signs. It says in
.lny notes that the person who
;as over -compensating for fail-
ure to achieve his goal — a ty-
.pital inferierity-complex case
— may become pugnaciousand
belligerent. That's my girl.
Of course, sometimes the
person who eannot solve a
t problem, or reach a goal, suc-
cumbs to another way out, it
says. This results in the Emo-
tional Explesien, or, as you
e1d-fashioneci lay people might
term it. the temper tantrum.
This is usually produced in ba-
bies by a restriction of some
sort, such as holding their
arms. It is produced in exactly
the same way in ladies who are
trying to clobber you. They be-
come even more violent when
you wrap your leg around
theirs, so they can't kick you
on the shins. This requires a
good deal of facility in stand-
ing on one leg. Just call inc
"Stork."
Another little gem I've
culled from the course is:
"Reason and emotion don't
rnix. Apply reason and it will
cut down on emotim" Well,
I've tried that with the Old
Girl. When she gets emotional.
I get reasonable, I'm afraid
they're going to have to remove
that maxim from the books.
Maybe there's something wrong
with the reason I apply, but
every time I do it, it's like
applying a torch to the drapes.
* * *
Strangely enough, I'm scar-
cely psychological at all, my-
self. However, in all fairness,
must admit I've found a cou-
ple of labels that apply to me.
When I am frustrated, I have
what is known as the Indirect
Reaction, instead of the Erne-
tional Explosion, In this bit,
you can do one of several
things to compensate for your
failure. One is having Delusions
of Grandeur. This one I have
never managed. It's impossible
for a father and husband in
these times.
A second reaction Is the
Suffering Hero. This is one of
my favorites, and 1 use it of-
ten. I see myself lying there,
after the accident. covered
with blood, cold, stiff, amazing-
ly handsome all of a sudden,

1-lensall.(population 9.06.) has ;some business
leaders, who have grasped the idea that the world
does not stop at the Canadian border, and that
there is business to be obtained in expert fliarkets,
for those who have the enterprise to seek it.
The MIR industry in Hensall is the :General
Coach Works factery„ which makes a variety of
house trailers and trailers for :commercial and in-
dustrial uses. W. C. ..Smith, president of General
Coach Works of Canada, learned that A trade miss
sion was to visit Canada this month, from Nigeria,
the largest of the newly independent African
nations, On the principle 'that you cant eet new
business by staring at the ceiling atodreaming
about it, he went to work as a salesman, and un,
folded the story of what the Hensall factory can
do to the African Business Corporation for de-
velopment, an agency which serves as a go-between
in meeting the development needs of the young
nations of Africa.
As a result, Nigeria is Interested. Within
the past few days, newspaper readers have seen
the pictures of a Nigerian delegation being received
by Canadian cabinet ministers on .an official visit
to Ottawa. The round of formal politeness at Ot-
tawa is to be followed by dowrko,,btisiness discus-
sions of what Canada can supply that Nigeria might
want to buy%
On the itineraryof the Nigerian purchasing
commission, which is to make the decisions, is a
visit to the -trailer factory at lima The order
which is being considered, it is reported, is "sub-
stantial".
A practical sales effort like this is worth
more than a million words of talk. In a country like
Canada, which must export to live, we could use
a lot more efforts like the sales effort made at

joyable stay. Firstly, we were impressed by the
lovely location and the well-thought-etit layout of
the campsites. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the
park despite the fact that it contained a large
camping population. •(The Pinery can accommodate
up to 1,000 camping units.)
"We appreciated the excellent facilities pro-
vided. We were most impressed with the helpful
and courteous park staff.
"You and your staff are to be commended
on The Pinery, and we are grateful to the province
of Ontario for preserving such sites for the general
public. We would appreciate it if you could pass
on our thanks to the park superintendent."
Obviously, Pinery park is making people
happy.

and my wife hurling herself,
weeping bitterly, on my chest.
She shrieks, "Darling, come
back to mel I didn't mean a
word of it. You've been a won-
derful husbandl", while the
kids stand by bawling piteous-
ly and, for once, not wanting
me to take them swittiteing.
The other type of Indirect
Reaction 1 s Rationalization,
and it fits, too. This consists of
convincing yourself of some-
thing that, is not necessarily
true. But this I've been doing
for about the past 35 years, so
I might as well relax and en-
joy it.
However, these are mild and
harmless reactions, so you
can see that it's not nie, but
my wife about whom I'm con-
cerned, It's difficult to under-
stand how a person can live
all these years with .someone
as normal as I and still be so
psychological.
Another of her troubles is
that she's obviously a passive
periphastic. Woops. just a
minute. I've wandered aver in-
to my Latin notes. No, here it
is. She's a straighforward case
of anxiety, This is typified by
worry, foreboding, dread, in-
ner distress. That .is, ,some-
thing is going to happen, or
you thinkit is. For example,
she always thinks we're going
to have another baby, and then
when we don't, she's kind of
sore about it,
Some of the anxiety symp-
toms are: depression for no ate
parent Teason; upset by little
things; snaps at attempts at
kindness; angry at nothing at
all; nervous, edgy; streak of
cruelty. This is our place,
practically any Sunday morn-
ing.
It's fascinatine, even if a
little disturbing, to see some-
one you know so well unfold-
ing right before your eyes,
like a drunk who has been
sleeping on the Iid of the fol.
let bowl all night, in the foetal
position.
But we're only scratching the
surface. We naven't collie to
it in the course yet, but l'm
looking forward to learning
the psychological motives be-
hind her taking up playing the
organ, and her throwing a per-
fectly good gin -arid -tonic all
over me last Saturday night.

To the gold mines
In my last artiole 1 wrote
about the early 'matches that
were made it Quebec I began
to reminisce about some of
the outstanding thtngs that I
have seen while on trips with
the Canadian Weekly News-
papers Association,
it was in 1938 that Mrs.
Soethcott and I enjoyed 4. trip
with a newspaper party to the
gold of Northern On-
tario and the outstanding thing
on that trip to me WAS the
weighing of a lead pencil mark
that was from six to eight
inches Ichig.
We held our convention in
Toronto where 'we visited the
new Globe & Mail building
when the late George McCul-
lagh was the editor.
As a side trip, We were taken
by teal!) to Timmins Where
we visited the Hollinger mine,
donned rubber coats, top
boots, hats and lights as worn
by the miners. Mitering the
mine shaft we were lowered
some 3,000 feet into the mine.
We were on a guided tour and
told to stay close together be-
cause there were passages that
led off in all directions and
•there was a possibility of get-
ting lost.
We were shown the drilling
and blasting and we watched
the rail cars as they conveyed
their load to the top of the
mine. Talk about an endless
chain, that is what it seemed
to us as we watched the twist-
ed wire cables wind or un-
wind from a huge spool as the
carriages were drawn up or
lowered into the mine,
Following our trip to Tim-
mins, where we were royalsg
entertained, we were taken to
Kirkland Lake, known as the
golden mile, At Timmins we
went down into the mine. At
Kirkland Lake we were taken
through the processing plant of
the Lakeshore mine.
We saw the rocks from the
mine ground to a slack by
passing through several pulver-
izing machines, Next the slack
passed through several vats un-
til it was practically clear
water. The water at the Lop
ran into sluices and were
screened through a machine
containing many sheets of pa-
per which extracted the fine
particles of gold.
We were somewhat disap-
pointed net to see any gold

nuggets, although we were
shown some rocks that glisten-
ed with gold.
The slack, or ground rock,
flows by gravity about three
miles out from the mine, while
from the opposite direction
buckets of gravel in an endless
procession was brought to the
mine to fill the excavated
drifts.
roomWew
wheerree thetahentoa miners' clothes
were hung to dry before the
miners changed into their
street attire, Every precaution
was taken to salvage every
particle of gold, yet in spite or
all the care taken both at the
mine and the ;refinery, hijack-
ing of gold has been a very
profitable business and weird
stories were told of how the
companies were defrauded of
the precious metal.
We saw some of the refined
gold, but the thing ,that tempted
me to write this article was
what I saw in the small room
where the gold is weighed.
The gentleman in charge took
a small sheet of paper and
weighed it on the seals for
weighing the gold. Ile then
took a :lead pencil and drew
a line six to eight inches long
and placed the paper back on
the scales and the scales
shbwed the weight of the pen-
cil line,
