Huron also has the 'highest number of hens end Chickens. (1,833,000), stands third in swine production and third for all field crops in the province. Perth remains the leader in hog produc, Lion with almost 150,000 in 1962, It's second in poultry, fifth in cattle and seventh in field crops, Middlesex stands fourth in cattle and field crops, fifth in chickens, and among the top ten in swine, The statistics are a tribute to the in- dustry and enterprise of our farm population. and serve as an impressive reminder of the extent to which our communities owe their existence and livelihood to the land and the people who cultivate it. The figures have a greater significance, however. They point out the potential this Area provides for food-processing industry— a potential of which little advantage has been taken As far as local development is concerned. The raw material is produced here in huge quantity. It will be produced in even greater proportions in the future, The unfor, tunate aspect is that most of it is transported out of the area to be processed by plants in other centres which give employment to peo, ple in other communities. It's not only the raw material from these local counties which provides employment else- Where. Most of the supplies required by our farmers are produced elsewhere, too. This area has a few of the industries for which it provides either market or supply and we are grateful to have them. But their number is nothing in proportion to what is bought and sold here, This themanufacture of farm supplies and the processing of food products—is our in- dustrial opportunity. A full effort should be made to take advantage of this potential to strengthen our agricultural economy and pro- vide employment for our future citizens. New bride is 20 feet wide! Typographical errors are a constant source of embarassment to newspapers and of amusement to readers. They've long been such a hazard in the profession that those of us in it can chuckle about them as much as can our subscribers. The Goderich Signal-Star points out that it takes only a little letter to turn a conscien- tious report into an embarassing mistake. Thousands of words are printed correctly but it takes only one wrong one to create the prob- lem. MEN AT WORK IN THE BRICKYARDS OWNED BY 0.

To prove the point, The Signal-Star quotes some famous slips that have passed in 'type: "No date has been set for the bedding of the, couple." "Our paper carried the notice last week that Mr. is a defective in the police force. This was a typographical •error, Mr. is really a detective in the police farce." Cancer education and fear then leave your FILMS here for... The way to prevent traffic accidents, according to highway authorities, is to publi- cize as a deterrent the spectatcle of the pos- sible consequences of a mishap—broken cars, broken bodies, wrecked lives. But to prevent cancer, should the same technique 'be follow- ed? According to the Canadian Cancer So- ciety, education is the key to such prevention because the sooner treatment of cancer is start- ed, the better the patient's chances of surviv- al. Convincing the public that they should see their doctor about unusual bodily symptoms as soon as possible after noticing them, ac- cording to the society, pays dividends. For example, in one scientific study of 12,500 breast cancer cases, for patients who had delayed less than a month to start treat- ment, 50 per cent had involvement of the glands under the arm, thus necessitating more radical surgery than would otherwise be neces- sary; but among those who delayed six months RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON VALLEE AND CAMPBELL STREETS or more, nearly 70 per cent had such involve- ment. Another startling fact is this: skin can- cer is generally accepted to be one hundred per cent curable—if caught on time. And yet, in 1961 a total of 145 Canadians died from skin cancer. What prevented these 145 men, wom- en and children from seeking treatment early? Ignorance, in some cases, but fear in most. Trying to find out what Canadians them- selves thought to be the reason for such delay, the Canadian Cancer Society conducted a poll and asked of a sampling of Canadian women: "What are the chief reasons for delay in seek- ing advice when cancer can be suspected?" According to 75 per cent of those questioned, the chief reason was fear. Obviously, then, if fear keeps people away from the doctor, we cannot put cancer in the same category with accidents. People must be convinced of the need for action with- out alarming them unduly. vik;:.:.appal pict"re UNTLEr III DRUG STORES , .....,,t7T 4:::41:11 EXETER ' Telephone Ontario .'1-:, 235.1070 ,......,...........

We'll bet, for example, that Huron MPP and Highways Minister Mac- Naughton didn't get a chance to view the 1963 version of the "Roads to Recreation" map before it was printed. In our area, unfortunately, the map doesn't show the resort village of ',1rand Bend, locates the Ausable auth- 3rity's picnic park at Thedford (with boating) on No. 83 highway, marks .:,"entralia as the location of a ski re,- sort, and shows the camping sites of ?inery Park on the east side of No. 31 highway (although it's correctly :fisted as being on NO. 21 In the list if provincial parks.)

Obviously, Britain's Ward has a great deal more imagination. Andrew Dixon's pocket booklet, "What Most People Don't See at Grand Bend" receives favorable mention in Ontario Travel News, July edition. En- joying the SHDHS teacher's explora- tions into the background of Grand Bend and environs, the Travel News says: "To follow his example-- in any Ontario Holiday region-- will be to enjoy a more complete, more reward- ing vacation."
