The Cornrnunitp Spirit
It is not hard for every member of
today's older generation to turn back
in mind to_t the generation before
them. To Vision'the men who then.
governed the villages, the towns and
the townships.
And; in that vision of their pioneer
lorbears they will clearly see thelife
of service they '.gave to their
communities. That service that not
only united them, but gavethem the
strength and power, often in the face
of Almost unsurmountable` difficul-
ties, to accompplish the great things
they did in the building up of their
communities.
That community spirit, however,,
which : we saw in. our forbears andwhich they handed down to us, seems
somehow - to have been' lost in our
complex life of today, that has wit-
nessed so rapid and so many chang-
es.
hangea.
Even in our smaller • communities
the average citizen has the feeling
that there is not much he can do
about the government of his own
municipality. He has lost that sense
of being personally important in his
own community and of belonging to
it, and no longer takes an active part
in thegovernment, of his neighbor-
hood.
But if our smaller .communities
are going to take advantage of the
opportunities presented by the re-
construction period that faces us, -to
once again be the vital business and -
manufacturing centres they once
were, every citizen of that commun-
• ity will have to recapture that com-
munity spirit • that was handed dawn
to him by his forebears.
In a recent report of the St. Paul,
Minnesota, Planning Commission,
one paragraph is of particular inter-
' est in this respect. It says: "City
planning ds not a genius bending ov-
er
ver a drafting, board and displaying'
perfect plans to the multitude. The
trained city planner performs im-
portant technical' and executive ser-
• vices, but the central function of the
planning agency is to serve as a table
_ .:around -which the- city'-s-people_sub-
mit their multifold _projects and de-
sires so that . them may be . mapped
out mutually satisfactory ways of
realizing them."
That is what community spirit
means: A table round which the
people submit their plans. Every
small town has one. Why not gather
round it, to work out plp,ns for a bet-
ter town? A council, no matter how
efficient it is, can not do it alone. 1't
'takes all the citizens. '
- Man Wanted
In this day of labor scarcity, most
Ontario farmers will clutch at pretty
much anything that offers. But down
in the,Maritime Provinces they take
their 'labor, as well as their politics,
much more seriously than we.
At any rate, here is an ad. that

A Heavy Responsibility
The American Chemical Society
has announced that the juicy onion,
that source of many a flood of tears,
has entered the atomic era.
The society further claims that
one ounce of "atomic onion" has the
strength of 2,500 . qunces of the com-
mon or garden variety of that very.
popular vegetable. That used in the
form of an oil, a couple of ounces of
this atomic wonder would provide
any housewife with enough onion
taste and fragrance to outlast any
onion shortage, however prolonged.
Just a wee drop, it is claimed, on.
a couple of pounds.of hamburg and
the housewife would be forced to op-
en all the doors and windows in the ,
house to carry off the excess aroma.
Accordingly,we would say that if
the American . Chemical Society is,
going to give the secret of the atomic
onion to the world, it is loading itself.'
with an extremely heavy and vital
responsibility.

Two Truths
'Dr.: Fosdick, President of the
Rockefeller Foundation, recently
said: Fe are discovering the right
things in the wrong order, which is
another way of saying that weare
learning how to control nature be-
fore how we have learned to control
ourselves." -
From the doctor that comes with
some force as he .is the president of
an institution which has contributed
-many millions of dollars towards this
very' "Iearning how to control na-
ture." -
Another American recently wrote:
"There must also be a will, a 'want-
ing' towards goodness ' which is
stronger than fear and selfishness.
It comes to men when they reach out,
above and beyond themselves, for
strength and purpose to the absolute.
Even those who are not religious will
recognize that this constitutes re-
ligion.
•
The Truth
A wise man said the other day that
perhaps one reason the dollar will
not do as much for you as it used to
is the fact that no one wants to ..do
as -much for a dollar . as they -used to.
Isn't that the truth?
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY:
A Word For "Jack Frost"
(Boston' Monitor)
'Scientific know-how has, metaphorically, of
cpurse, arisen to deprive that folklorish figure,
.lack Frost, of hie palette and pigments. Accord-
ing to a, bulletin issued. by the Forest Service of
the United States Department of Agriculture,
tree leaves change color not as the result of his
skillfully applied brush but as part of the plant's
preparation for winter.
It is the presence of oil globules' and a small
number of yellow, strongly refracting bodies
which gives the leaves their gelden hue; and it
is a surplus of sugar which, in. combination with
other substances, produces the brilliant color
combinations which often are attributed to freez-

Tom' White and his wife celebrated
their fortieth 'wedding anniversary
last Tuesday. 1 happened to be "in

his way back from getting the mail.
He lives retired,in, the village, and he
asked me to stop by the house and
have a chat before I, went back to
'the farm.
There werli a few folks around when
I .called: They .were mostly older
folks like Tomsand ..his Wife who are
.also tieing retired in the village. It
was' a friendly, pleasant -half-hour .that
I spent with them. There were a lot
of reminiscences exchanged and Torp,

like that. •He wants to0aik about the
things going. on around the farm. We
had a cup of tea and some very good
cake. I' enjoyed it.,

Tom and Ms wife. Neither of them
have ever tdken-any long trips. They
went• to Niagara Falls en their .wed-

at •the Falls. Their life is bound up
closely with the "township and the
people who' Iive in it, Their wedding
Anniversary was quiet and friendly.
Most people living in big cities would
think that Tom and his wife have liv-
ed a pretty dull Iife. I wonder if it's
such a dull life after all, when you
live like Tom White and his wife.
They've never been at' a . cocktail

World. Recognizes Scarcity of Food
In the October issue of "Scientific
Agriculture," edited by the ' Agricultur-
aI Institute of 'Canada, Dr. J, F. Booth'.
Chief, Agricultural 'Eeonomics Divi-
sion, Dominion Department'. of Agri-
culture, contributes an article on the
"Trends in the Development of Agri-
cultural Economics in Canada," in
which he outlines the growth of agri-
cultural economics and the increas-
ingly important role it is destined 'to
play in the future.
Canadian farmers, wrote Dr. Booth,
have again become -conscious, perhaps
more than at any time in Canadian
history, of what a world in need of
food can mean to•them and they to
it./ There is hope teethe horizon•much
of which stems from the creation of
the. Food and Agriculture 'Organiza-
tion, the provision for financing world
trade, and the prospective formation
•erf•-arr international body to facilitate
trade among nations.
No longer does agriculture stand
alone•pleading for market's for its pro-
ducts. The • world has become eon-
scious of the scarcity of food. As a
solution. to the problems of surpluses
thereeh-as-beenaddled the_ conception
of a world adequately fed- An inter;'
national agency, the F.A,O.' has been
created to encourage world „thinking

must be action and action must be

already, laid by the organization em-
phasize research in many fields, and
the establishment of an economic di-
vision is a step in that direction. Can-
ada will' be" expected to contribute in

Canadian farmers because of these
developments will be more concerned
with what is taking place in other
countries than ever before, Agricui-
ural departments will be 'expected to
provide a service in respect of foreign

Depth of Planting Forage Crop Seeds,

As the results,of an experiment car
ried out with certain promising grass-
es' by the Division of Forage Plants
at the Dominion Experimental Sta-
tion, Swift Current, Sask., it was dem-
onstrated •under the conditions of the
experiment, that the greatest depth
at which the following grasses may
be sown on loam soil was: "Crested
wheat grass, 1 inch; 'Russian wild
rye, Brome, and Tall wheat grass, li/l

ary ,.grass, and Wild • Virginia rye, 2
inches; and Slender wheat grass, 2r,

"It may be stated," says Scientific
Agriculture, "that -Tall wheat grass,
Ree •.wheat •grass," Russian wild rye,
and Virginia wild rye -May be seeded
deeper than Crested -wheat grass and.
as deep or deeper than brome. This
is a favorable factor when establish-

However, the. slow emergence of
Virginia wild rye is a distinct disad-
vantage and would discriminate
against it as a suitable erase for low
rainfall areas, but Russian wild rye,
Ree wheat grass and Tall wheat grass
appear to be equal or superior to
standard grasses in this respect. It
is of interest to note the good emerg-
enee of, Reed Canary grass, a small
seeded grasse from the 2 -inch depth,
and that of Slender wheat grass from

``•'Soap Not tacking on Hallowe'en
•
Hallowe'en was comparatively' quiet'
in •Goderich. The party for the young=
er folks at the skating rink • kept the
small fry off the streets acid was so.
Much enjoyed that' it will likely be re-
peated in future years. Older boys did ' r
some,of the 'usual mis•ebief. In spite •
of the scarcity. -..of soap a •good many A
store windows arid motor car windows
were marked up. One of the soap art-
ists is evidently a follower. of Jiggs,
for on a shop window he•left the leg-
end, "Kilroy Was Here," Mr. P, J.
Cantelon Friday morning' reported
that about•fifty. feet of his fence had
been knocked down—not a very nice
trick to play on a.man in his 90th
Tear—but the Town sent down some (
men who soon put the fence td rights: '
Another citizen well on in years had
his front doorsteps taken away, This • r
is even a worse trick, for it might
give someone a bad fall, III discussion
of'theee matters 'at the town council's
meeting Friday night it was suggesle
ed that next year a 'public dance be
held on Hallowe'en to give The older
boys .and girls• something to work cif
the, surplus energy that finds vent on
that particular night,—Goderich Sig-

It was ah orderly, Hallowe'en i=
Wi•ngham, no damage being reported.
Where the kids got the soap to mark
the windows on, •the main street is a
mystery when you consider the short-
age of this commodity. We believe
the Winghafn.,.lioirla Club may take a
great deal of the credit as they spon-
cored an evening of entertainment for
children and teenagers. 'TM s. included
a paradie headed by the Wingham Citi-
zens' Baud, Bab Cook, magician and
ventriloquist, who was the highlight
of the evening, in addition there were'
