Seizing An Opportunity
,There is •a distinct possibility that
Seaforth will very soon be facing the
fact that -the town has no facilities
to house the winter -sports of hockey,
skatipg• and curling. The present
3rin' k, which has served that purp.ose
since the turn of the century, is now
on the market and with the very gen-
eral shortage of building material,
there is not much prospect of a pur-
chaser continuing to operate it as a
rink. There is far too much lumber
and other good building material in
it, to take a chance on having a cold
*inter to cover the investment, when
a contractor Could get his money
back many times over by ' wrecking
the building and using or selling the.
material.
• That is the situatici that faces the
people of Seaforth, the town authori-
ties, the Chamber of Commerce, and
the Service clubs too. Are they going
to let things go by default and letthe
growing youth , of the town turn
their energy into something else than
healthful winter sports, or go out of
town to obtain them?
At the present time there is an op-
portunity that could be seized that
Would put Seaforth right out in ,
• front as a sport centre. Not Only for
Winter,. but for all the year' round.
Not only for hockey, skating and
curling, but for stock and horticul-
tural. shows, banquets; or large • pub-
Iic gatherings of any kind.
We understand that Port Albert
Air School is about -to be turned over
to the War Assets Corporation for
disposal. One of its large hangars
would make an ideal arena for this
town.. It is ready made for the pur-
pose; is only a short distance front
here, and once assembled locally
would provide ample accommodation
for events the town could plan or
house for many future years.
We believe,. too, that if used for
this purpose, there is more than a
possibility that it might be purchas-
ed for a nominal sum,: Or at any ,
rate, at only a fraction of its cost, or
the cost of constructing a new arena.
The town of Paisley has already pur-
chased one of 'the building at Port
Albert to be used as an ice arena, and ,
is moving it to that town. Is Sea -
forth not as far sighted, as progres-
sive and alive to its community Ad-
vancement?
It is an opportunity that may nev-
er be presented to this town again.
• But it will not remain open indefinite-
, ly.. A few years ago Exeter erected
a large ,arena that houses its fall fair
exhibits, has anipie. accommodation
for the exhibition Of stock-rshould the
weather prove unfavorable for out-
door judging, and houses a large ice
rink and many other sport activities.
At the, time of its organization it
,- :net with considerable opposition
from different quarters, that claim-
ed
it would never be anything but ,a
White elephant on the town's hands.
But it is, iu operation now. And
• -what is more, is paying dividends,
not -Only in money, but as a magnet
• that draws the youth and people o a
widely ranging district, who now
look upon Exeter as "Their Town."
Some years ago Seaforth ,twas
know across Canada for its sports
teams and sport activities. Nearer ,
at `Wine, it was recognized as one of
the most progressive business, towns

Something will have tif) be done,
and the answer would appear to be
the decentralization of ,, industry.
There are many who say this is noth-
ing else but talk, and more who say
it can ' not .be done, because at the
present time there is something of a
housing shortage in even:the small-
est towns and villages.
It should be remembered, however,
that because of land values and labor
C4StS, the housing situation will rem-
edy itself much, more readily in the
small villages and towns than in the
large centres and cities, once build-
ing materials are again available.
.Besides there is no coinpaiisort be-
tween the small town and the city
from the standpoint of the worker's
health or that, of his family.
As a matter of fact, many indus-
tries are already decentralizing, but
whether through force or chmee, i.
not yet too clear. At any rate, the
newer and smaller industries seem to
be very busy seeking . locations.
, Speaking on this subject recently,
the Fergus News -Record had this to
say about conditions in that towii:,
"Early in the present war, Fergus
organized a Chamber of Commerce,
One of its aims was to secure new in-
dustries of a diversified nature. No
expensive campaign has beenTut on
andno booklet has been issued as
yet, setting out the advantages of
Fergus as a centre for industries. In
the pa.st few months Fergus has "se-
cured one good industry, which will
be coming as soon as alterations on
the building can be completed.
• Others have started:1V without any
assistance, including a woodworking
factory and, an awning company.
And others would come to Fergus if
suitable buildings could/ be obtained.
We have no empty factory buildings.
Within the past two weeks, a spin-
ning company wanted to get a build-
ing here, but officers of the Chamber
of Commerce could not find anything
large enough.
"It is impossible to build a factory
in a hurry these days. Too many
things are not available. That is one
reason why established firms' are
looking to other municipalities for
places to go."
That is all perfectly true. But un-
like the northern town, Seaforth has
like the northern town, Seaforth, it
is understood, has a 'number of ex-
cellent buildings that would make
ideal factory sites for one or more
industries. If established firms are
looking to other municipalities for
places to go, why couldn't their at-
tention be directed to Seaforth?

Going Up !
We haven't hear4 much complaint
recently from our farmer friends
about the price of cattle. But after
some of them read this, however, it
may be different.
Last week at Kansas City, Jack
Hoffman, 15 -year-old farm boy
from Ida Grove, Iowa, sold his Grand
Champion Hereford steer at auction
for $44,370, or $35.50 a pound.
"I thought $4 a pound would be
good," the youth said. "I figured it
might go to $10 or even $11 a' pound.
Even in hoping., I never had thought
of more than $11."
The bidding opened at $5, and
• when it: was all over and the ate-
_ tioneer called to him, "Jack, do you
think yOu can afford to sell for $35.50 '-
a pound?" -the boy's answer was a
$44,37& grin. . •

New Development in Farm Equipment
Many new developments in the
farm equipment field have yet to
reach the farm in volume due •to
conditions over , which the producers
have had little control. As the nsater-
ial and labor situations improve, how-
ever, farmers may expect an increas-
ed flow of new machines, many of im-
proved design, says J. M. Armstrong,
Agricultural Engineer, Central Exper-
'mental Farm, Ottawa. A notable
trend is to tractor -mounted equipment
with new power take -off applications
including hydraulic controls. Ingen-
ious raountings, for Quick change of
equipment have facilitated design of
higher and more complete lines of lin-
plementa and tools to allow' gm util-
ization of the tractor. , These include
mounted ploughs, cultivators, row
crop seeders and planters, sprayers,
together with a tractor mounted grain
combine, a potato' digger and sugar
beet harvesting equipment; tractor
mounted manure loaders, shovels and
power post augers.
Farm tractors in the one -plow size,
developed by several firms, should
fully meet the power requirement of
the smaller farm. Gasoline engines
with fuel -injection, pumps are being
studied. Efforts are being made to
build: smaller .and lighter Diesel trac-
tors; to ltapr6ve power transmission
and to provide a power take -off for
wheel tractors which will operate in-
dependently of the main clutch. This,
would facilitate spraying, haying and
other operatione :
In tillage equipment there are new
rotary tillage machines, new varieties
of blade weeders and improved, de-
signs of one-way discs. • A weeder fir-
ed with liquid fuel hes now become
available and will shortly be tried on
various crops at the Central EXpere
mental Farm.
Spraying equipment developments
include straddle mounting of tanks
on a tractor and the use of retarY
pumps which have 'been used success-
fully for chemical control of weeds
and are being tried for insect Contiol
and plant diseases. An improved
style of liquid -duster has also become
