NEE!'" FOR. GOOD HOUSING
DURING, %TIE PAST week there has been • • The need for good housing is still great in
•
a
great number of people, mostly RCAF per- Clinton. With the opening pf 80 new living'
sormel with their wives and young families
lookin-g for a place to live in our town, They
are not looking for anything fancy—but just a
good, clean, reasonably priced apartment , or
house in which they can live while they are -
stationed here.
The Young folk in the Air Force come from
all over Canada. Most of then) come from
ordinary homes—and they are looking for ac-
cornmodation in town where they can duplicate
the kind of living they are used to, at a cost
th ff rd.
Unfortunately, here as in other service
• towns, extra apartments are a scarce article
•indeed. During and since the war the need
was desperate, and anything with four walls, a
• roof and a See/ electrical outlets was welcomed.
The renters were mostly young people •without
: much in worldly goods, and in their early mar-
• ried life -anything they could get was accept-
able, because they could put off what they
wanted for a few years,
• Now, things have changed, The apartments
are still scarce articles but no longer are renters
happy to pay exhorbitant prices for a collection '
of odd pieces of furniture in 5, couple of rooms.
A good many of the service men are older, with
their farnilies in school, and a good many Sta-
tions behind them. They no longer want to
live in shacks.
units Nat Adastral Park this fall, the need may
lessen a little. But there will still be a •great
need for accommodation in Clinton for the
many Air Force and•cipUian familiee who gab:
their livelihood from Station Clinton. The main
THE BEST INDUST
THE HIST INDUSTRIES, for Huron Cbuilty
are those which supplement the great existing
industry of farming.
As is recognized, there are two main things
that a prospective • industrialist looks for in
searching a location:- labor and market. Huron
County has a copious'supply of good steady
labour and only a 'limited market for some
products.
However, for anything that can be used by
the farmer, the story is ,a little different. Near ,
Exeter this week, an Elmira firm tis beginning
a $100,000 fertilizer plant, figuring on the market
The -Washday Blues
• THE FINANCIAL POST (supposedly a
serious publication concerned with finances) has
"a new prescription for getting elOthes white
on washday. And it has nothing to do with
new and secret soaps or detergents, whether
blue, green or pink in color.
"A lettersto a London, England, newspaper
says: -
'I own all the latest laundry aids—washing
• • • machine,' rubber wringer and steam iron. My
neighbor has none of these, Every Monday she
dumps all her laundry into the bath, adds wateg
and soap, and dances up and clown on the dirty
clothes, chanting, 'John Peel.' And, darn it,
her sheets and pillow cases are every bit as
clean as mine!'
"Maybe there's a business angle here. Who
knows but what "Unchained Melody" or "Love
Me Or Leave Me" may prove better whitening
agents than "John Peel". The nation's women
soon may be dancing and singing every washday.
Sheet music should boom; appliance makers can
start • thinking about turning ;out mechanical
dancers with record players attached, The
• possibilities in the London woman's discovery
• are almost limitless,"
difference is that the accommodation will have
to be clean, modern and well equipped to rent
easily.
Curious
(Exeter Times-Advodate) .
THE WAYS OF MAN are curious' and
costly, Take water in Western Ontario for an
example.
For years Western Ontario has been spends •
ing millions of dollars trying to get rid of water
as fast as he can. By building drains, ditches
and channels, the area sends the water out to
the lakes- as soon as it falls from the sky.
• • Now the country's dry. So What is pro-
posed? A water pipeline system from the Great
. Lakes to the communities.
Thus man, who spent millions to rush water
into the lakes, must now spend more millions •
to pump it inland again.
Think how much cheaper it would have
been if we had,. let the water take its natural
course in the first place.
RIES FOR HURON
right at hand. Though they will have to ship
in raw materials, their shipping costs for the
finished product is low.
Other industries which would find operation
costs low in our county, would be those which
use the raw 'products of the farm—such as
fruit packing plants, canning factories, etc. Al-
though they have to ship most of the finished
product to their city market, these firms can
save on the shipping costs of the raw product.
Industries closely related to the thriving
farming industry will probably do best in our
county,
Holiday Tale Of Toronto
• ONE OF OUR better-known Canadian
writers has written a feature article appearing
in next month's issue of the Holiday Magazine.
Printed in Philadelphia, this magazine treats
with varied subjects and locales throughout the
,Americas and all over the world,
Hugh MacLennan, in his article, describes,
Toronto as American as corn bread and as
British as cricket, and tells of the physical
arrangement of the Queen City and the mental
attitudes of her inhabitants, of the Queen's Plate
and the Canadian National 'Exhibition, and of
the University.
Speaking of Ontario, he says, "The province
is lush with its own prosperity, sele-contained,
eolnpetent, conscious of its virtue, more yaried,
in its physical features than the American
Middle West and much more homogeneous.
Toronto' is its core, its focus' and the chief
outlet for its self-expression."
Vying to make a value -judgment of the '
city, MacLennan quotes a resident as saying:
"I feel so motherly toward Toronto that every
time I hear outsiders criticize her, I want to
pat her head and tell her not to xmnd."

YOUTH AND
ALCOHOLISM
Does your child follow the Gang?
02 course he does. All young peo-
ple want the approval 'of their
friends and most will drink to win
it. Girls as well as boys become
involved this way, and drink for
them is a greater peril than for
boys
Young people often drink as a
1eaction from insecurity or a sense
of inferiority. Even a bad 'case of
acne may lead to drink. And once
drinking becomes a habit the trend
to alcoholism can begin very early.
Youth should know that the age
level of Canada's alcoholics has
changed alarmingly. In 1942 40
percent were under 40. Ten years
laier, 20 percent were under 35.
This steady lowering of the alcoh-
olic age so concerned the AA
group in Toronto at a recent con-
vention that they saw fit to set
up a special youth section. It
should be stressed continuously
that as ,yet no tett has been de-
vised to show which "moderates"
will become "alcoholics."

St. George Street, where we live,

However, I feel there is some-

which I know my father, the late

The statements "that the United
Church tern( over the Presbyter-
ian Church, and that the Meth-
odist Church was sold to/ the Ro-
man Catholics." I think need
modifying.
Xi was a case of the majority
ruling. • Was it not? Which law
governs most of our causes today,
and the Methodist Church was
sold to a private party for some
tourist purpose, was it not? and
that party in turn turned it over
to the R.C. Church. I just felt
that this could leave an unfort-
unate impression on theNgeneral
public not acquainted with the
situation and might stir up again
some of the feelings, which we
hope by this time lie buried, if not
forgotten.
Iwasalso very amused aL the
same stories which my father used
to hear from the old Anglican
rector, who dearly loved to tell
them on his wife. Many a time
I have paid a visit to the old
castle -like house—maybe to bor-
row a gold largnette for a play.
For she had really been an old
aristocrat, who caught the fancy
