Seizing An Opportunity
There is a distinct possibility that
Seaforth will very soon be facing the.
fat that_ the town' has no facilities
to °house the winter sports of hockey,
skating and curling.' .The present
rink, which has served that purpose
_ .ibtethe 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
winter 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 situation 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 let the
growing youth of the town tarn
their energy into something.else,•than
-healthful winter sports, or go out of
town to obtain them?
At the present time there is all 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-
lic : 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 from
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-
edfr.. .
oa.. nominal sum. Or at any
.
rate,` at only a fraction of its east, 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 ample accommodation
foitthe exhibition of stock should the
weather prove unfavorable for out-
door: judging, and : houses a Targe ice
rink_and many other sport activities.
At the time of its organization . it
met 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 in operation now, ,And
what is more, is paying dividends,
not only in money, but as a magnet
that draws the youth and people of a
widely ranging district, who now
look upon Exeter as "Their Town.
Some, years ago Seaforth . was
known across Canada for its sports
teams and sport activities. Nearer
at home, it was recognized as one of
the. most;. progressive :business towns
in. Western Ontario: It is still that,
but public enthusiasm has seemed to
wane of late. It needs a new revival.
roans Can Get Factories
Before •and during the war quite a
.,,al heard ' about the de-
and =dead ,was a t
of industry,' The eon -
;by, . by the c'e ltrallzation
`rt�raes ,•;in lar 'e'ceiitres
f
was leaked 'Upon as 4 ' eees ry evil,
But that, .congestion create` a. houP-
, ing, .situation and living co , ditioris
, That are, getting beyond human en-
durance, '
Somethingwill have to be done,
and the answer would appear to he
the decentralization f - 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 reniembered, however,
that because of.land-values and labor
costs, the housing situation will rem-
edyitself much more readily in the
shall villages and towns than in the
large centres and cities, once build-
ing materials are again available.
Besides there is no comparison 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 choice, is
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 town:
"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 been put on
and no boollet has been issued as
yet, setting out the advantages of
Fergus as a centre for industries. In
the past 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 up 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-
tenti,on, be directed to Seaforth?
•
Going ,Up !
We haven't heard 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 'Cit Jack
Hoffman, ':a- '15 -year-old farm boy
from Ida Grove, Iowa, sold his Grand
.Champion- Herefordsteer at auction
for '$44,375, . or $35.50 a pound. m
"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 auc-
tioneer called to him, "Jack, do you
think you can afford to sell for $35.50
a
pound?" the boy's ansvve'i• was a_
$44,37& grin.

I h
was caug t yesterday. After din-
ner I had a few things to do around:
the stable and I was going to go back
andflnistb._up zonae plowing: By the
tilde I was finished with the work in
the stable; it was nisting 'a little rain
outside. I decided -to catch about forty
winks of sleep on the bundle of hay,
oke up with a start because
there ,was Ed. Higgins laughing fit ;to.
kill There are easier .ways' of ,being
awakened. He thought it was a great
joke that he could find • me. sleeping in
the middle of the day. I realized then
and there that the storyrof my sleem
ing in the daytime would be spread
all over the township by the end of
the week.
This morning when. I went into the
village Jim- Hawkins yelled across
from the woodwork shop, "You slow=
in' up, Phil? I ..hear you, take a nap
in the Stable every day!" There's
nothing you cam do about such things,•
but it was still rankling in my.•mind
when I dropped in to pay_.a bill at Dr:

been here for years and he knows

Just seem to want to perpetuate that
old myth that every farmer, in order
to be any, gggd;�has to shays a.atrong
back and a weak mind, Our young -
eters grow up with a feeling for brute
strength and often not enpugh regard
to brain power. A lot. of our •people
think that the worst thing In the
world is, to show some sign, of weak-
ness. Young lads of fifteen strain and.
bead and tug and often ruin them,•
selves for life ,just so somebody else
won't show up stronger 'than they
are.
That kept. running through my mind
all' the. way home from the village.
There's good common sense in it too.
People will kind of kid me for a tong

Household Storage Fruits, Vegetable
' Household storage of friits •arid: ve��
etables is nota difficult matter if.
few simple rules are earefully 'follow
ed. These rules, with mach additio
al information on storage will be
found in two publications of the Dom
inion Department of, Agriculture
namely, No. 632, "Household Storage
of Fruits and Vegetables" by the
Fruit and, Vegetable Division, Market
ing Service„ and No, 743, "Construc-
tion and Operation of a Home Stor-
age For .Fruits and Vegetables," by
W. T..Phillips; Division of Horticul-
ture.
• All fruits and. vegetables• selected
for 'winter storage should be well
grown, fully mature, and free from
damage caused by insects; disease,
rough handling, mechanical' injury,
freezing and chilling; Great ear$' must
be exercised in graiiing and sorting
the produce in order to eliminate de-
cayed• or partly decayed specimens. It
is essential that all specimens be
thoroughly dry and clean, because
moisture allowed to remain on the
produce induces decay. During :the
storage periods, all the fruits and vege-
tables should be sorted 'regularly and
defective ,,specimens completely 're-
moved from the storage •-room. Refuse
allowed to remain in storage causes
'contamination of sound stock.
-For those who desire a more ambi-
tious scheme for storage than a fenc-
ed -in corner of the cellar, plans for a
more, detailed storage equipment wilt
be found in publication No. 743. A.
copy of both 'publications may be ob-
tained by writing to the Dominion De-'
pertinent of Agriculture, Ottawa.
s New Development in Farm Equipme
g- Many new developments in the
a farm equipment field have yet to
-reach the farm in volume due to
u- conditions over which the producers
have had little control. As the mater-
- 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-
iinental Firm, Ottawa. A notable
trend is to tractor -mounted equipment
with new power take -off applications
including,,jrydaraullc controls: Ingen-
ious mountings for quick change of
equipment have facilitated design of
higher and more complete lines •of im-
plements and" tools to allow full util-
ization of. the tractor. These include
mpunted 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 sinaller. farm. Gasoline engines
with fuel -injection pumps are being
studied. . Efforts are being -made to
build 'smaller ,and lighter Diesel trac-
tors; to improve 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 operations.
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 has now ''become
available and will shortly be tried on,
various erops at the Central Experi-
mental Farm.
Spraying equipment developments
nclude Straddle mounting •of tanks

amps which have been used success-
fully for chemical control_ of weeds
