WITH NEW CO-OP PASTURE RATION
Lush spring and summer pastures provide adequate bulk and protein
but are low in energy. On pasture alone, a cow can produce only 30
pounds of milk per day because of her limited capacity to consume a
sufficient quantity of grass. Additional energy is required to maintain,
body weight and to attain maximum milk production.
The new CO-OP Pasture Ration provides this all-important extras energy that is required to supplement spring and summer pastures.
Feed CO-OP Pasture Ration and you will get more from your
pasture... more froM your herd.
IMPORTANCE OF FEEDING CO-OP MINERAL IN SUMMER
Mineral consumed by cattle Is utilized three times more efficiently in the summer than Is that consumed in winter. Much of the mineral required for winter milk production must come from the cow's
system. Consequently, mineral build-up In the animal's body must occur while she is on pasture.
For a healthy, profit-making herd, feed Co-op Cattle Mineral, free-
choice, throughout the entire year.

OPPORTUNITY'S. KNOCK UNHEARD
Last week a friend of ours from
Toronto arrived at the Lake Huron
shore with a new boat. It wasn't (met.
of the little tubs such as we happen0
to own—nor was it uncommonly big.
In fact it was 25 feet long and re-%
quired 52 inches of water at the end;
of a ramp for launching.
In Goderich there is a small boat
hoist but it wasn't strong enough to
handle this, craft. The only launching
ramp at Kincardine was totally in-
adequate. The same was true at all
the other lake towns.
Finally,, the boat owner secured
the services of a Wingham man with
a back hoe to deepen, the launching
area at the Pine River Boat Club and
the new vessel took proudly to the
water,
We have often been amazed at'
the short-sightedness of the lakeside
towns, where a good portion of busi-
ness is dependent upon tourist trade.
Most of them have failed to awaken
to the fact that pleasure boating is
noW big business, and that boat own-
ers invariably spend fair amounts in
the communities where their boats
can be launched or docked.
Kincardine harbor has been filled
with American cruisers all week. The
folks aboard these boats are usually
wealthy, or at least very comfortably
Off, and are prepared to spend liber-
ally for supplies, fuel and entertain-
. rent. Yet the facilities provided for
the visitors are sketchy. Admittedly
Kincardine has done more than sev-
eral other port towns, but even so,
a great deal more could he done to
make the harbor attractive and com-
fortable.
--. Most lakeside towns don't even
have a simple concrete ramp from
which a trailer-borne boat could be
launched. Cost* of construction of
these ramps is negligible.
However, in the course of con-
sidering these undeveloped tourist
attractions we paused to think of
NEW PROBLEMS
Canada is not the only country,
says the Letter-Review, where too
rhttch welfarism is giving rise to
serious social problems. From Lon-
don, England, for example, comes
word that unemployment insurance,
in. certain cases, is leading to large-
scale loafing and idleness on the part
of those who prefer to draw state
benefits rather than seek another job
when out of work.
,The problem is .especially acute
among fathers of large families,
whose scale of earnings when they
are employed .hardly exceeds benefits
available from unemployment insur-
ance when they are jobless. Accord-
ing to Britain's National Assistance_
Board, in such cases, "If of an idle
disposition, the few extra shillings
which employment offers may not
outweigh the disadvantages, as he
sees it, of giving up a life of com-
parative freedom for the discipline
of regular employment." Worse still,
the Board believes,. is the fact that
a large number of children in Bill-
thin "are growing up to regard idle-
ness. .as a normal state of affairs."
Similar cases aplenty may he
found in this country. In fact the
problem is noted by the Commons
Public Accounts committee, which,
in its report to Parliament noted
that "married women draw benefits
withottt having to show too much
interest in the world of work!' The
committee rightly recommends that
steps he taken by the Government
and Parliament to re-establish the
Unemployment Insurance '14'und
sound insurance principles and to
overhaul the legislation and regula-
tions so that the fund will not be
abused by those who prefer idleness
to. work.

how many .opportunities we might be
missing right here at home. In Wing-
ham we scarcely ever think of the
possibility of attracting tourists—
for the simple reason we are not a
lakeside counnunity. Yet mdy the
other day an American couple who
have summered at Kincardine for
years, were in Wingham to visit
with friends. Their youngsters spent
the afternoon at the Riverside pool,
and the parents themselves were in.
for a dip, When they left that even-
ing they were seriously considering
coming to Winp,tham for their holi-
days next year.
City folk do not of necessity seek
out the lake towns. What they are
looking for, actually, is sonic open
space and a bit of cool breeze.
We have a grand start here in the
park development which has been
well started. A surprising number of
motorists stop to enjoy their picnic
lunches in the town park. By all
means let us continue to make our
town as attractive and interesting
as we can to outsiders. It's not
merely a matter of hospitality—it's
plain good business as well.
ONE TOO MANY
The recent decision of the Board
of Broadcast Governors to recom-
mend the denial of radio station ap-
plications for the town of Goderich
is one in which we heartily concur.
Though many folks in Goderich, per-
haps a little envious of the reputa-
tion of Wingham, were anxious to
see the station established, it is ex-
. tremely doubtful that it would have
served a really worthwhile purpose.
The fact of the matter is that this
area can provide only so many dol-
lars for paid advertising. If adver-
tising revenue proved inadequate,
the results would have been un-
healthy, not only for the newspapers,
television and radio station which
are already in existence, but for the
new station itself. Advertising rev-
enue is still the lifeblood of news-
paper success, and indeed the only
source of revenue for radio and tele-
vision. If the revenue of the new sta-
tion had proved too light, the owners
would have had but one alternative
—cheap programming and "canned"
entertainment. Canadian broadcast-
ing has altogether too much of that
now.
ASKING FOR TROUBLE
So far there has been little com-
ment about the impending 3% pro-
vincial sales tax, largely because its
structure is so complicated that most
people fail to realize its full implic-
ations. It is a safe prediction that
when the actual tax levies commence
in stores .and shops there will be a
great deal of comment—and none
of it favorable.
We have admitted previously
that if the province had to impose
new taxation, the sales tax is perhaps
the most honest one which could be
employed. At least the taxpayer
knows how much he is being nicked
for each time he pays.
There are, however, some aspects
which seem grossly unjust. One of
them is in regard to the merchants
who will have to act as tax collect-
ors. The. provincial treasurer will
demand that tax returns be made,
not just on goods sold and paid for
during any month, but on those
goods which are delivered to the cus-
tomer and because of a credit ar-
rangement or inability to collect,
may not be paid for within the next
three or even six months.
Perhaps the greatest injustice of
all is that in places of business Which
are now forced to collect federal
sales tax of 11% _(printing offices,
for instance), the 3% provincial tax
will not be computed merely on the
original cost of the article, but on
the .cost, plus the federal levy.
This constitutes a clear case of
taxation on taxes, and Is contrary
to one of the basic concepts of Bri-
tish justice. There may well be some
interesting test 'cases.
"Thou shalt have no• other gods
before me." Exodus 20:3.
In a Christian nation like Can-
ada, surely this commandment can
have little application to us. Let
us examine it a little closer. Fran-
cis Bacon, a great philosopher and
scientist of the 17th century states
that people are led astray by roar
classes of idols. The idols of the
nation, the individual, the comnaun-
ity and the University. He says
that these idols are false notions
which are in possession of the
I'm living a kind of crazy, mixed-
up life these days. On the surface,
it's sensible enough. I go to lec-
tures and study hard all week, On
week-ends, I go home for a couple
of restful, refreshing days with my
family.
Theoretically, that's the picture.
I slog around all week in the city
heat, I labor long and late over my
books. I'm lonely and frustrated.
Then, on Friday afternoon, limp,
exhausted and red-eyed, I head for
the cool north country, where I lie
in a long chair, sip a long, cool
drink, and recoup my strength for
another harrowing week,
Rut it 'isn't like that at all. It's
just the opposite. Down here, I live
with the peaceful precision of a
monk. I saunter in, the shady
streets in the evening, and listen to
the muted squeal of tires. I read all
night if I want to. I eat when I'm
hungry. I smoke 80 fags a day if
I feel like it.
Despite the fact that they're
building a subway a hundred yards
away, I can step out into the
quadrangle of the college, of an ev-
ening, and enter a world of me-
dieval tranquility. I can have a
shower at any hour without a child
hammering on the bathroom door,
in agony, the minute I get wet. I
can step out of my trousers and
kick them into a corner if I want
to,
I can smoke in bed if I wish, I
can sit around stark, staring naked,
as I am at the moment. I can drop
across the hall in half an hour and
enjoy a rye and, tap-water aperitif
with another gray-thatched refugee,
from domesticity and exchange
with him lies about how much
money we gave up to go into teach-
ing.
No, it isnit this end of the stick
that's turning me into a gaunt and
haggard creature whO is one mas-
sive twitch. It's that week-end
shift that makes me so shaky I
can't eat soup without sprinkling
it all over my shirt.
First, when I get home, I have
to run the gauntlet of a brief, pene-
trating interrogation by the Old
Battleaxe. Somehow she has got it
into her head that I'm having a
wild fling down here in the city.
Ever since we were married she
has been convinced that the mo-
ment I escape from her vigilance
I begin to drink furiously, dash
from one night club to another, and
acquire mistresses right and left.
How I'm supposed to accomplish
these bacchanalian orgies on the
$2.80 I have for spending money
after paying my room and board,
she doesn't explain. But she still
thinks of me as the gay, dashing
dog she first met, 15 years ago,
and refuses to s see the gray old
wolf, most of his fangs gone, who
sits across the kitchen table, as-
suring her, with some indignation,
that such a thing never entered his
mind,

After she has checked on my
morals, the duet begins. Her sop-
rano carries the melody: the kids
are driving her crazy, the car is
full of rattles, the lawn is burned
to a crisp, and there are hordes of
visitors about to descend. My
croaky baritone plays the accom-
paniment; the course is impossib-
ly hard, I'm working like a dog, the
city is an inferno, and I'm sick
of restaurant meals,

when one of the kids is shaking
Me vigorously and asking, "What
time are we going swimming,
Dad?" It is 8 a.m. Somewhere er
other, they have picked up the no-
tion that my entire week-end is to
be devoted to togetherness. And
somehow or other that's about the
way it Willa out.
