The Seaforth News, 1931-10-22, Page 2PAGE TWO THE SEAFORTH NEWS. PAVING LAKE HIGHWAY IS MUCH DISCUSSED. Crushing Burden of Drain Taxes All Farriers Can Stand, Some Think, • The numerous high -pressure asso- ciations in towns along the lake boost- ing the paring of rhe lake :hare high- way, dsaw attention to the fact that in Huron county, at least, the present centrally located Provincial high' wayn were paved without anyassoc•i- ations or press-agenting. They were paved because there was need. Just why the taxpayers of this county or any other county 'should be loaded with the burden :of ' an ale -weather highway along the lake, serving the county on only one side; and boosted by anle n few people in the towns along the reaa, is the,giestion wel!- ief.'rntec men resp.nsible to the -people .f the tow•utships, are asking. With the heavy drain taxes on the armers which are a crushing burden even in good ates, wisdom has been shown by the highways department in apnroaehing rhe matter of paving the .'Bite Water" highway with caution. The extreme excitement of thele 'lake ,.robs at the present time leads one to 1e:ieve that they know that as soon a: the Landon Road paving is completed through to the north, it will carry the henry.tanrist traffic.

In a private letter to a Finau-Mal house in tins city, an English econ- omist, ,who has a' high reputation for the accuracy of his predictions, fore-. cases the return en good tines far the wheat growers of Canada and other exporting countries. ht the course of his communication this authority saga: " In two years' time I e pest the price of wheat to be raised al- most to famine prices." Ii well -foal -Id - ed, this prophecy has immense int- erest for all western Canada and the Dominion as a whole. Once wheat returns to even normal prices, not to '3 t r.:h tee :fire was made.

In that event, the present de- pression epression will become merely an un- pleasant, memory. 'Support for the contention that the wheat markets will improve from this time forward is to be found in the monthly review- of the world wheat aituatiott, published by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, under authority of Hon. H. H. Stevens. The bureau remarks that itt 1930-31 the world trade in wheat practically reached the average of the five-year period, 1925 to '1929, when economic conditions were comparatively good. In a time of depression people are inclined to think only of the adverse factor in the situation, even though a number of other factors are quietly operating on the constructive side, as at pres- ent. The year 1931 opened with a i:uaticn barren of immediate hope, but during the pas: nine months price severs have been relatively- even for the tint time since the downward trend began in the Autumn of 1979. The bureau enumerates a number of :he constructive- influences which hare been at weak in the world -mar- ke:. On the continent of. Europe the rad at' nigh prices between 192 a.td 102.9 and the Period of artificially pegged high prices From 1 29 to the tsrc:en: time. :rare not induced' any appreciable increase in the wheat ac- reages of nathesa imparting countries. A.: obtainable data now indicates a ly in inany sections, both in outetur•u and in quality. The difficulty of se - inning adequate data eco n• Russia is admitted but as fax as can be ascer- taiued,_the Russian wheat crop of 1931 is considerably smaller than that of 1930, Thus read together, the Englis:1i econom'ist's forecast and the .report put out by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics must be accepted as hold- ing out zeal hopes of a recovery in the Canadian grain -growing industry, and thus, in the whole economic situation throughout the Dominion. The Eng- lish ,authority ng-iish,authority talks of 'famine , prices within two years, hut something short of this will satisfy Canadians, c ta weeeneent s net geenet to ae e:t c etatain \:let its faienaa. \ eta a e .at:: _.e that fat t. iz - ... };.,eat ea -antics caa a eie e'• e , ries cbieaiy res- t,,,,,,,,........., e sc c H • w a e late erre ' ,e e ..

PREDICTS INCREASE IN AVERAGE SPAN OF LIFE 'a The average span of life in the Un- ited States, now estimatedby statis- ticians at 58 years, will be increased' by 12 years within the next quarter century. Dr. Charles H. Mayo, one of the Mayo ,brothers whose names rank high in American surgery, said in ant interview in New York. "In the next 25 years," he said, man may expect tot live to an average age of 70 instead of 55. For medical science has combined with education to produce a •healthier race," But Dr. Mayo cannot see that science will solve the riddle of ilfe. "All living things must die," he said, "Neither health, education nor science wilt enable a race to live forever." The breaking point, he reels, is at the age of 38. From then on. if not. before, people must exert every care. The human body must be treated for :he intricate thing it is. Ii a man wants to live to be 70, let him take care of himself after 35. "The natur- al breakdown of the organism," said the famous surgeon, "begins at that agDevelooptnents in preventive medi- cines will be the important factor in advancing the span of life during the next 25 years, Dr. Maya said. Medical men of the present day are working determinedly- to discover means of prevention, rather than cure. SHOULD BE WELL GOVERNED Louisiana is like the :+:d lady that lived in a shoe.
