S. ATKEY t A. L. COLQUHOUN Editor Plant Manager THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1948 SIGNS ALONG THE RIGHT LINE The Morris Township Branch of Huron Federation of .Agriculture recently decided to place a sign at each end of every concession in the Township, on which will be marked plainly the name of the township, the concession and its number. In addition; the programme calls for every farmer to have his name plainly painted on his rural mail box. The Huron Expositor comments' that to any strang- er, and in fact, to others in the township, this plan, when completed, will prove a boon and a timesaver. Every stranger trying to do business with the farmers in a township knows full well how hard it is to locate a man's farm, and the time he wastes before 'he accomplishes his mission. From our editorial nook, the scheme looks like a move in the right direction and an example that might well be followed by other townships in the County, including, Goderich, Stanley, Huilet't and Tuckers/MIL True, there may be plenty of hard work and planning involved, but in no way would these efforts be matched by the results attained. Have you ever hied yourself into some township whish you did not know very well and tried to find your way around? Directions given by the well-meaning resi- dents of the area usually are rather sketchy from your point of view, although probably eminently clear to the dispenser of the information. A wave of the arra in the general direction of •Joe Blow's farm is not of very great assistance to you in your tenderfoot state. Signs plainly !narking concession Hires, and mail boxes bearing the owner's name would do away with a lot of inconvenience, and would set apart the ..township possessing these advantages .as just a little more progres- sive than its neighbors. The plan might develop into a worthwhile county --or even provincial—movement with far-reaching benefits. ,,,q„ Who will pioneer with Morris Township? © p• p • "MORE TRADE — MORE JOBS" World Trade Week will be observed throughout Can - ada May 30 to June 5. It is designed to bring home to Canadians the feet that the high standard of living they enjoy is the result of Canada's position as the third international trading country in the world. World Trade Week has been designed to bring to the attention of every Canadian the need for maintaining and increasing our trade with other countries. The pro- gramme has the theme, "More Trade, More Jobs," and its immediate purpose is educational. It has been timed to coincide with the first Canadian International Trade Fair which is being held in Toronto.' Sponsors of World Trade Week •include the Canad- ian Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Exporters' Associa- tion, Canadian Section Internaibionall Chamber of Com- merce, Canadian Importers and Traders Association, and local committees throughout Ontario. The programme is being carried out with the support of the Department of Trade and Commerce and is under the distinguished pat- . ronage of the Governor-General The Trade and Industry Branch of the Ontario Depat tment of Planning and Development has taken a very active part in the organization and administration of World Trade Week, and requests the full co-operation of all citi- zens. In seeking active support in making World Trade Week a success, The NEWS -RECORD joins. EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—It takes a fraction of a second for a message to travel around the world, but it often takes ten years to get an idea through a quarter -inch of skull. © O O Oleomargarine was the hottest ,subject in Parliament during the winter, but it has cooled down a lot with the arrival of spring. Butter is more plentiful now. Never- theless, Margarine it on the agenda for a full-dress hear- ing alt the beginning of the next session of Parliament which open's June 1. This hiighiycontroversial subject is not likely to be injected into the Ontario Election; it is far too slippery a matter. r IN OUR TI' w ea Huns "You're on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Mrs. Fpof - You'll have to listen to jut the COMMERCIALS 'tiff the heroes yet out of trouble." 25 Years Ago: THE CLINTON NEW ERA Thursday, May 3L 1923 Col.
