SEAFORTH, Friday, May 23, 1941 Still More Monep Last week in response to an oft heard question, "Where will the • itnoney come from?" when the pro- posed Dominion War Loan is under discussion, The Expositor, said that there was.. over a billion dollars in, savings accounts in our Canadian banks. And there are. This week we would like to point out that while there is over a billion dollars on deposit to the credit of Canadian's savings accounts, it is quite apparent that all Canadians are not money savers. Far from it. At least that is the conclusion we draw from the newspaper reportson the Woodbine races, which opened in Toronto .on Saturday last. On that day it is recorded that an aggregate sum of some four hundred and forty-five thousand dollars was wagered on the afternoon's program of races and of that amount one hun- dred and five thousand was bet on one race. -- And, by the time the To- ronto "r. E' e meet is concluded this coming Saturday, it is reasonable to believe that the amount wagered will run into several million. Judging by these and other things, is it nit unreasonable to believe that when Canada Calls --and Canada is calling for a loan of six hundred mil- lion dollars—that she will have no' trouble getting the. money. - These things do not always fol- low, of course. But one thing is sure themoney is in Canada—and ev- ery loyal Canadian should make it his or her business to see that it is forthcoming. Little Is Heard Now Last winter there was a bitter out- cry in Ontario about the terms of the new bacon agreement" between Great Britain and ' Canada, and against the Dominion Minister of Agriculture, who was responsible for negotiating that agreement Britain's refusal to pay the price that was paid last year "would ruin the hog industry in Canada, and with it .the Canadian farmer, with particular reference to those in On- tario. Meetings were organized :similar to the one held in London, if not by Ontario government officials; cer- tainly With -t icirTbjessing. The sit- uation was so serious that Premier Hepburn decided in order to keep the farmer an the land, it would be necessary to place a premium on Jacon production, payable out of the Ontario treasury. The fact that the Dominion Min- ister of Agriculture explained that while the price in the new agreement was lower, the amount taken by Bri- tain this year would be in exeeso of a hundred million pounds over that of last year, and that provision ex- isted in the 'agreement for an in- creasein price if the United States price went up, and our bacon start- ed moving to that country, made no difference at all. No one would lis- ten to anything but the cry that the Dominion Government had sold out the farmer. Little is heard about those thins now, because conditions have reveal- ed that the British bacon agreement is working out exactly along the lines foreseen' and anticipated by the Do- mininn Lovernment when the nego- tiation were made in October last. Early in April of this year, Great Britain increased its order for our baoan:T by , twenty-eight million whh Will bring the total irheti; e r tip to over four hundred 'Dion, 'Sands, . Then on rata anntineed-,that she V`ants, of the dption onld in case n, isa4tito United , States Where hog prices have been steadily mounting since the middle of April, The ,increase in the British price will mean a dollar a hog for the On- tario farrier, whose market this year ig already thirty-five per cent. above the 1940 level. In fact it means that the British agreement in 1941 will net over sev- enty-one million dollars to the Cana- dian bacon business. The situation has righted itself as promised by the Minister of Agriculture, although no one would Iisten to him just a few short weeks ago. • What About Rudolf Hess? We haGve ,been -asked this question a good many times in the past two weeks. And our answer is that we do not know. All we know is that Hess is a mur- dering scoundrel, ' and the fact 'that he had stolen a plane in which to fly to Scotland in order to give himself up, can not change his character, nor raise him in the estimation of any human being with any Christian background. The news of his arrival in Britain, , however, is good news. It does not mean that Hitler's reign is , cracking, for there is no hope of that—yet. But it does mean -that when the third highest in the Nazi regime in Ger- many deems Great Britain a safer place to live in—and' personal safety means everything to a man of his character—than his own country, conditions in Germany can not be everything, or even a part of what the Hitler press and radio are so con- tinuously claiming for. them. The German official news agency has declared Hess to be "the "victim of hallucination," but Hess had no halluncinations about what was' go- ing to happen to him in Germany, before he made his historic flight, al- though we will have to wait for the end of the' war, or perhaps, for his- tory to tell us the whole story. In the meantime do not waste any sentiment on .Hess, or imagine, . for one moment, that an eight hundred mile ride has changed a black sheep into a. Iamb. • You'll Hae 7`a' Wait The Scotch are a solid race, not easy 'to move, and David McLean, who captured the parachuting Rudolf Hess with a pitchfork runs true to --form. When the newspaper reporters" rushed to him to get the story, he -y replied slowly and deliberately : "You'll ' hae tae wait till I feed the horses." • What Would You Do? If you were a man, while walking down a street one day, tripped over a paper parcel, and that parcel con- tained seven thousand five hundred dollars, what would you do? "Or, if you were a girl living in a Iarge city and helping to support a father mother and sister on eighteen dollars a week—what would you do? That is a question. we can not an- --swer for mankind, •but we can an- swer it for the girl. The 'girl was Miss Kathryn Los, who picked up . a parcel containing seven and a lhalf, thonsanid dollars on a New York street, and she—took it to the police. r • Honesty is always its own reward, but ill spite of that we are glad to report that nine days after Miss Los turned over this money to the police, she was sent a cheque for one thou- sand dollars by a New York broker who bad lost the money. WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY: War On Disease (Windsor Daily Star) Good health enjoyed by British troops in Africa where they have been exposed to every tropical pestilence while faeing the rigors of tvar,' is a tribute to medical science, and to its application to military campaigning. Inoclrlation, hygiene, water .purification, care of • food, and scientific dieting are given as reasons far the good record the British have establish- ed.

Walk in the door and stop and look around any newspaper office, and un- less it be one of those glaring, mod- ernistic affairs your can smell old' newspapers. There's , a heavy almost musky smell of dampness and ink and if you look closely you'll see dust in the corners! Some people are afraid of newspa- permen and women. I'm not! I like to wate'h a man with a green shade over his eyes leafing through stories that come from the far corners of the world. He does it calmly, paus- ing in the middle of an assassination in some remote country to light his pipe or pick up the telephone and tell his wife that he'll be late 'for dinner. I like to watch' that speeding up process that comes toward .edition time.. Reporters ' begin 'trickling in and tatting their places, and as --they do the clattering increases. Voices begin to accommodate themselves to the increasing noise . . growing ever louder. The man with the green eye -shade begins giving orders, and his pencil starts working faster and faster. Copy boys begin dashing around! A manwith a worried frown searches -diligently through well worn reference volumes, finds what he wants and then gets back to work again. A swinging door opens and closes giving glimpses of . the place where noisy, hammering, clattering iron mon- sters take words. and. transform them into printed pages. The noise is deaf- ening, and somehow' exciting, as the pages of white paper- keep pouring down from upstairs to these men• who work magic with them. Stand and watch! Finally the whir- ring pages of newspri t come out neatly folded and smelling of fresh ink, and you see the work _of thou- sands incorporated in the daily pa- per. Walk back upstairs and see the calm that sprevails once again in the editorial office. The man with the green eye -shade leans back in his chair and looks over the paper. Now and again he node his head. An an- OnyRnous slap on the back or praise for a good piece of work, stored in memory's files for 'future use. The men are chatting and talking. The typewriters are silent. It's calm again, and you smell that same fam- iliar odor that seems to come from stored newspapers and tobacco smoke and dust. On my way home from visiting a newspaper I can never quite bring myself to the familiar pleasure of watching Nature. Printed pages and the man in the green eye -shade seem to come up before me. Even the bud- ding trees of Spring seem to •lose their fascination, against that place where news is taken and placed on pages for readers. - Somehow, I can't help thinking that if I had not been a farmer I would have tried to be a newspaperman. They say that a man who once works in an office of that .nature can never forget it. Perhaps it's the far- away romantic places that hold a fas- cination for a man. Somehow I like to think that the fascination of newspaper work is the same as that of farming. When a man writes a story, he likes to pick up the paper and read it, and see his own thoughts and ideast transformed so that everyone can exemnine them. When e farmer plants his fields in the Spring, he waits to see his handi- work come up °green and fresh. In place of clattering iren monsters, such as the newspaper men have to transform their ideas, the farmer has Nature to spread out fields of,grain and crop , . . that somehow seem like green pages. 1111 :JUST A SMILE OR TWO A policeman was'questioning a man pinned under his car in an accident. "Are you married?" "No,"'came the reply. "This is the worst fix I was ever in!" . • "John, I've been lying awake for hours waiting for you to come home front that wretched club." "If that isn't just like a woman. And I've been at the club for hours waiting for you to go to eleeP," • Young four-year-old had just been. informed of the arrival of a second baby sister. He questioned Daddy: "Daddy, does God know every- thing?" "Why, yes, son." "Then why didn't He know I want- ed a brother?" "Maybe He did but He was out of boys?' "Yes—but if He knew everything He might have known I'd have wait- ed!" was the disconsolate argument which floored the young father. • The class ,had been instructed to write anessay on winter. Before they began, the teacher gave them a few hints; and among other things he suggested that' they might introduce a abort paragraph on migration. One child's attempt read as follows: "In 'winter it is very cold. • Many old people die in winter and many birds also go to a warmer climate. ' • "What has done most to rouse the working. classes?" "The alarm clock," sold me a car two weeks ago." Agent: "Yes, I did." Man: "Fell me again all you said about it. I'm getting discouraged." • Accuracy • Accuracy is of much importance, and an • invariable mark of good train- ing in a mean. Accuracy in observa- tion, accuracy in speech, accuracy in the transaction of affairs. --Smiles. • • - A member of a Ladies' Aid Society in a small town went to the bank to deposit, as she told the banker, "'some Aid money." 'Unfortunately the banker thought the said "egg money," and replied: "Remarkable, isn't it, how well the old hens are doing these°days!" Then ' he couldn't understand why the woman gathered up her passbook and hurried from the bank. • A young man, after eight years' ab- sence, alighted at his home station, and, despite his, expectations there Was no one there to meet him. He then caught sight of the stationmas- ter,' a friend since boyhood. To him at least he.would...be welcome, and he was about to extend a hearty greet- ing, when the other spoke first. "Hello, George!" he said. "Going away?" Goodness • It is not our badness that - often in- terferes with OUT being better but our meagre goodness, with which we are content. - ia Information_ Given_ To GovernmentOfficials The census of agriculture, which is combined with the general census 01 the Dominion in the eighth census of Canada, next June, will place in the hands of government officials 'vital information as to fruit anti,. vegetable production in 1940 on the farm and in nurseries.
