Prepared Especially for Women—
But Not Forbidden to Men
For when 'the One Great Scorer
CMOS- -
To write against your name,
-1Ie will not care that you have lost
•or won,
But how you played the game."
I have, sometimes thought that one
-of the things which those in charge
of young people, those who organize
Boy Scouts, C.G.I.T. groups, Girl
Guides and the like, should teach al-
most first is the sense of responsi-
bility.
That is one of the things which
'youths seems to consider so airily;
to toss off without another thought.
`They have been brought up without
having to take on any responsibility,
probably, all' their heeds having been
looked afters• by others, and schools
-do not teach that faculty to any
great •extent. Even the responsibil-
ity of passing examinations is shar-
ed, and shared to a very large extent,
by the teacher. So until a boy nor
girl groes out into the world to make
his or her own way they are not
trained in this faculty of taking
'responsibility. But it is very neves,-
sary that they learn It, if they are
to the the useful citizens they ought
to be.
To illustrate: I mice was elected
president of an organization and on
taking over my office I found that
that organization. while it had been
raising a quite sizable sung of mon-
ey for an outside and very worthy
cause, owed debts all over the place
for little things which had been
bought from time to time. It owed
icor a pound of tea here, some meat
for sandwiches there and for ice
`cream somewhere else. Teas had
been given at various times to as-
sist in raishik this money, you see,
'Then the secretary had bought a
book, charging it to the organization,
or a committee had bought some ma-
terial for decorations and done the
same. Every committee of •offieer
• seemed to have authority to order
things, nobody seethed to take any
responsibility about seeing that
fhey were paid for. and this con -
ditties of affairs had been going on
'for years.
I thought this a bad state of af-
fairs and talked it over with my
executive and I said: "Now, this
'year we are going to pay our debts.
even if we do not raise one cent for
rutsi:le causes, no natter how wor.
thy." We did, going out and hunting
trim up and paying little dribs here
end there, which counted tip to a
considerable sum. But we saved our
self-respect..
. Ooeasienally, I fear, even people of
mature years are not above doing
the sort of thing mentioned 'above.
If a committee is appointed to look
after a certain natter, decorating
for a supper, arrangingfor a picnic,
or something' of that sort, and there
is any expense connected with it
they often order something from a
dealer, charging it to the organiza-
tion and, at least in some eases, they
straightway forget all about it. The
account may come in to the organ-
ization, or it may' be charged to the
individual.
If an account is sent to the indiv-
idual he is apt to say: "Oh, that isn't
mine. The Society of Lotus Eaters
should pay that," and he tosses it
into the fire. What he should deo, of
course, is bring the matter before
his society and see that it is paid, as
he is the one who ordered it and the
only one the dealer connects with
the transaction.
That is the reason I think the
young people who are brought into
organizations, chrtech organizations
or others, should be taught to take
the responsibility of their own acts.
If any committee is authorized to do
anything which entails any expense
they should be given definite instruc-
tions regarding it and then an ac-
counting should be called for. Coni-
mittees should not be allowed to ex-
ceed their authority, but should be
trade to understand that having as-
sumed the responsibility of incur-
ring expense they should see that it
is nmet. In the simple insistence on
this bearing of responsibilityyoung
people would be taught a valuable
lesson which would last therm their
whole lives through. We venture to
say that there is not a business
place in any town in Huron county
which has not at some time had to
write off debts contracted for organ-
izations by irresponsible persons who
forgot all about therm. Sometimes
forgot all about them. The adver-
tising departments of newspapers are
very often the sufferers in
this connection. Som etimes
these sums are small, it is true, but
they mount up when repeated time
and time again, and, anyway, when
a man or woman. boy or girl goes bi-
te a place of business and contracts
for anything far which payment is
to be made, he or she should take
the responsibility of seeing that the
article is paid for.
This way honour and uprightness
and business integrity is learned.

BAHAMA TOMATOES FIND
FAVOR WITH HOUSE-
WIVES
' Large quantities From 'West Indies
Shipped To Several Cities
Throughout Canada
Although the shipment of Bahama
tomatoes to Canada in quantity be-
gan only last year, it is expected
'that before the present season is
finished well •over 100,000 crates will
have been absorbed by the Canadian
market, One of the largest single
shipments to reach Canada this sea-
son reached Montreal in special
'Canadian National Railways refrig-
erator cars. It consisted of 9,000
crates, most •nf which were for the
Montreal and Winnipeg markets.
The "Lady Redness," arriving in Hali-
fax, also carried a 'heavy consign-
ment believed to be in the neighbor-
hood of 11..000 crates.
This year's crop, although later
than last, is of excellent gaulity and
'the method of packing has been im.
proved. The price is lower than that
which has to be charged for United
States, Cuban. and Mexican tomatoes
owing to the preferential treatment
accorded West Indian produce under
the Canada -West Indies trade agree-
ment. Most of the fruit is absorbed
in 1VLantreal and other Quebec points,
although this season Toronto and
other Ontario cities are taking a ler-
ger proportion than ever before, the
tomatoes having found great favor
with the Ontario housewives 'because
of their fine chiming and flavor.
Considerable quantities are also be-
ing shipped successfully as far as
Winnipeg and other western cities;

"That's what I call tough luck."

for ferry dollars, and the only man
in town teat can identify me is the
one I owe fifty."

that greater assistances shall be
given the weaker ones. Whereas in
1930 the:' betel legislative and county
grants for the inspectorate emote -d-
ee. to $34,402.32, the figure for the
Past year was $28,659.87. An inter-
esting feature softhe present scheme
i$ that rural schools, and this ap-
plies to such schools only, may re,
eeive a grant of 50 per cent. of the
cost of all approved equipment..
•
` The total number of candidates
at the entrance examination from
the schools in the inspectorate was
360, of whom 296 secured entrance
standing 87 of these taking first
class honors. Beginning with June,
1932, the system of accepting the
recommendations of the principals
with certain limiting conditions is to
be put'into effect for the entrance
examination.
Dr. Field said that school sections
in his inspectorate were in good
financial condition. There were no
deficits and in many cases hand-
some balances wet'e being carried,
some of which were sufficient to
finance the school for a whole year.
In discussing the school fairs, Dr.
Field said they were excellent and
a good thing for the school, as com-
petition was goodand taught chil-
dren to be good losers and good
sports and taught children fair
dealing.
Dr. Field and Mr. Beacom answer,
ed many questions regarding the
extra term required by the depart-
ment of education at Normal which
some members of council designated
as unfair. Tho appreciation of
the members was expressed to the
inspectors in a vote of thanks.
On Thursday the County was ask-
ed to reduce the salaries of all offic-
ials over which the Council has con;
trot, by twenty per cent. The re-
quest came in the fom•nt of a motion
by Reeves Taylor and 'Weight and
was referred to the Executive com-
mittee.
At the same tiuro Reeve McNab
asked that, a resolution be forward-
ed to Prime Minister R. B. Bennett,
Premier Geo. S. Henry, and the Rt.
Hon. W. L Mackenzie King, leader
of the opposition, asking that all
government 'officials' salaries be re-
duced 20 per tent
A motion sponsored by Reeves
Swertzer and Bowman asking that a
by-law be prepared confirming the
appointment of Traffic Officer Lev-
er and giving him authority to act
under and to lay informations under
the L.C.A. as Traffic Officer was
carried.
The Thursday afternoon session
was a short ono as Council ad-
journed early in order to allow com-
mittees to meet and prepare reports,
Reeve Smith inquired of the
County Engineer. "Aro you a full
time official of the County, or are
your duties .only certain ones?" He
also asked, "Int connection with
bridges or culverts do you charge
extra for plans and specifications?"
Mr. Patterson said that he gives full
time if necessary in loolcieg after
the affairs of the county, and replied
"no" to the second question. •
fan McLccd, Agricultural Repre-
sentative, gave a short summary of
the wick of his Department. At the
short course in. Dungannon there was
an enrolment of 30 boys and 37 girls
the average attendance at both coovs-
es was thirty.
The Agricultural Department is
not supplying any seeds this year for
School Fairs and no special assis-
Mance is to be allowed," said the
speaker. "Other years three judges
were supplied but this yea»• these
will have to be provided without as-
sistance from the Department. The
most successful 'fairs were hold in St.
Helens and Belgrave. A grant of 825
to each School Fair in the Council
would be appreciated. Lack of local
interest in sine seised districts
might hinder the holding sof some
fahs. Same Township Councils have
supported Fairs to the' extent'o:f $25
hfr. MnLecd submitted the financial
statement of the Junior Extension
Fund showing receipts of $359.35 and
a ibalanoe of $71,77.
N. W. Trewartha of Girton, an
ex -Warden, being present was asked
to address the Council which he did
briefly.
An expression of appreication and
thanks to the Limns Clubs of Gide-
ilea and Seaforth for their wonder -

ONLY ONE HOME-SICI{ TROUT
GAVE UP THE GHOST ON
TRIP
Ten thousand Ontario trout are
being put on the spot. They are be-
ing taken fora ride, but contrary to
gangland principles, it is for their
own good•ana for the good of the
angling fraternity.
The Ontario Provincial Govern-
ment Fisheries Department is mov-
ing its trout rearing station from
Brighton, Ontario, to Dorion, some
40 miles east of Port Arthur.
Already one shipment of 1,250
trout 'has been' proved in a specially
equipped baggage car and 'only one
homesick trout gave up the ghost an
the journey. It will require some
ten trips to establish the Brighton
trout in their new quarters.
Springs at Dorion supply the new
station with same 4,000 gallons of
water a minute and provide ideal
conditions for rearing purposes. It
is planned to stock the northwest-
ern section of the Province with
speckled aicl brown trout.

ACCIDENT PREVENTION
Deaths and daisbilities arising •out
of accidents are daily increasing, and
their occurrence demands public at,
tention.
It is a matter of surprise to mast
people to learn that a very large
percentage of all accidents occur in
the home. Each one of us, as u citi-
zen, should do his part in making
the streets and the highways safe,
and particularly should each one of
us, far his awn sake and for that 'of
his family, make his own home safe.
Not only are accidents 'occasionally
fatal, but they are, in all cases,
costly and painful, even without tak-
ing into account the permanent disc
abilities which may result from
them. It is well worth the effort to
do what we can to minimize the
chances of accidents, and so save
lives and prevent pain, disability and
expense.
Falls lead to broken bones, frac-
tured skulls, dislocations, and all the
ills of twisted joints, and torn mus-
cles and ligaments. The winter
season increases these hazards. A
little ice on the front steps, your
foot slips, and down you come. Fails
such as these can be 'prevented by
removing the ice, or by covering it
with sand, sawdust or ashes.
In order to reach some top shelf,
people will very often mount upon
the nearest thing within reach. There
is really nothing safe to use for this
purpose but a ladder. It is a good
accident -prevention measure to keep
a short sadder in the house, in some
place where it is readily accessible.
In this way it will most likely ibe
used, and the chances of falls will
be lessened thereby.
Keeping things in their right place
is a preventive mast -ire. It is the
article which is out of place that
causes some one to trip. It is the
cake of soap which is left in the
bottom of the bath that someone
slips on; if the soap is placed in the
soap -holder, it will not cause a fall.
Collections of rubbish, old papers
and other discarded articles invite
fires. Instead of being eleared out
once or twice a year, they should
never be allowed to accumulate in
the first place. It is just as well to
dispose of them today as six months
from now.
Garage doors should always be left
open when the engine of the car is
running. If you will make a prac-
tice 'of opening them before starting
your engine, this will become a hab-
it and will never be forgotten. The
gas from the exhaust causes death
without warning.
Follow the advice we have given
and avoid home accidents which are
usually the result of the individual's
own carelessness.
Questions concerning Health, ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by
