The New Year
• • Today is the last day in 1948. It
• is also the last day on which we may
make our resolutions for the New
Year.
While certainly it is desirable that
we determine now those plans on
which are to be based our living for
.:the next year, it is more important
• probably that we review at the year
end the extent to which we followed
and made good on resolutions we so
carefully drew up on the last day of
1947. After all, the mere making of
resolutions in itself, while it may
• .give us, momentarily, a feeling of
• well-being, means nothing unless
they are carried out. A resolution
abandoned within the first few days
•of the New Year might just as well
• have never been born.
As for ourselves, probably we
won't make any resolutions. We
• know too well the weakness of hu-
man nature, and that likely we would
be among the first to forget about
• any that we might have made. On
• •
the other hand, it may be worth try-
ing once more. This may be the
year our resolutions will stick.
New Year's resolutions or no, we
do wish our readers, our customers
and friends - everyone - A Happy
and Prosperous 1949.
• Thrift Is A Virtue
•• During the war years the habit of
thrift was generally accepted as be-
ing the patriotic way of living. The
regular purchase of war sings cer-
tificates and victory bonds was re-
• garded as a necessity in every home.
Sometimes the purchases were made
at a sacrifice, but they were regard-
ed as contributions to the war effort
and as such the payments on them
were met cheerfully.
The habits of thrift so firmly es-
• tablished during the war, are not be-
• ing maintained to the same extent
during peace. This, despite the fact
that increased savings today are par-
ticularly opportune from the stand-
point of the high level of Canadian
economy.
• Thriftiness at any time is a hard
• •habit to acquire. Whether the fall-
ing off at the present time is due to
the elimination of the patriotic as-
pect of saving which was present
• during the war, is hard to say. In
any event, it is apparent that the
• habit is one that should be main-
tained, or if necessary, acquired at
all costs.
In a recent comment on thrift, Mr.
XI. D. Burns, president of the Bank
Of Nova Scotia, observed that among
the ways Canadians could contribute
. to stable conditions was by ". . . the
practice of the old-fashioned virtue
•Of thrift, in which virtue our fore-
• fbears so earnestly believed." He said
this policy had been highly neces-
•tsary in early days and, in his opin-
ion, still is. He added: ". . our
tstandard of living is high by any past
Comparison, and there are many
citizens who are in a position to in -
Crease their savings. From a na-
ftional point of view, increased sav-
ings would be most helpful at this
jtime, and from an individual point of
‘617r it provides protection for a
ninY day that is bound to come.'
Re\stressed that increased savings
ould help to- reduce the pressure on
he,• country's price structure. In
connection he veferred to Can-
' a saving' bends as an excellent in -
mit
fie advice is timely. Thrift

the fanner MOney by washing from
his land valUable top soil has been
demOnstrated reeentlyn experi-
ments carried out in, Eastern On-
tario.
A slope of land cultivated up and
down and planted with corn lost 22.4
tons of soil per acre through erosion.
When a similar plot was tilled pro-
perly, that is across the slope or on,
the contour, it only lost five tons per
acre in the same season. One rain-
fall of almost three inches in an hour
washed away about two-thirds of the
total soil eroded during the season.
These were some of the remarkable
results brought to light in soil con-
servation tests carried out by the
Central Experimental Rarm, Ot-
tawa, on fairly heavy clay land in
Eastern Ontario.
The use of a permanent crop cov-
er on sloping land also showed up
well in the experiments. Less than
a ton of soil per acre was lost where
alfalfa was grown.
Land where the tests were made
varied gradually from a five per
cent slope to an 11 per cent slope.
Troughs and tanks were installed to
catch and record the water and soil,.
which ran off after the land was
subjected to various cropping and
tillage methods.

A Good Move
The Council of Waterloo, On-
tario's newest city, at a recent meet-
ing tackled and successfully over-
came a problem that has bothered us
for a long time. The council by by-
law made it an offence, punishable
by law, for persons to park their
worn-out gum on the bottom of
tables or chairs in public places.
The council might have gone a
step further and prohibited the
chewing of gum in public places,
particularly restaurants. There is,
no more unsightly habit than the
slow bovine -like actions of an indi-
vidual engaged in mastication of a
mouthful of gum.
However, if Waterloo's by-law
prevents the unsanitary practise of
disposing of gum on furniture:used
by the public, it will be a step in the
right direction. It cannot but help
in eliminating a disgusting practise,
and will have the blessing of every-
one who has found himself the inno-
cent victim of a wad of used chew-
ing gum when sitting down at a
restaurant table.

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY:
GOOD ELECTION CARD
(Goderich Signal -Star)
We rather like the election card
which Reeve John McNabb, of Grey,
published in The Brussels Post be-
fore the vote this week: It ran: "I
am again a candidate for the reeve -
ship of the Township of Grey. If
elected I shall endeavor to carry on
in 1949 the same as this year. Thank-
ing you for your past favors, I am,
yours truly, John McNabb." No ex-
cuses, no apologies, no promise to do
anything more or anything different
from what he had been doing; John
stood squarely on his record -and he
was re-elected..

WHY SO LITTLE PAINT?
(Waterloo Chronicle)
Why are there not more painted
barns in Waterloo County? A nicely
painted barn is a fine advertisement
for any homestead. It stamps the
owner as a progressive farmer and
adds materially to the appearance of
his farm. Paint also helps preserve
the barn and painting is therefore a
good investment as it helps to pro-
long the life of the building. By mak-
ing the farm more attractive, it
should also help sell the farm should
the owner, for some reason or other,
desire to sell. Well -painted barns,
with the name of the owner and the
name of the farm so placed that they
can be read by passers-by, serve to
brighten the countryside and make
it more pleasing for the eye.

rom
itor
As the year 1948 etilie Mit the
political discussions and argu-
ineets4 in Ottawa fall, lute two well-
defined categories -a review of the.
significant political events of the
year just gone and speculation, ee
the exciting events forecast. for
1949.
Nineteen forty-eight, with its
five provincial elections:, its many
by-electione and its two momen-
tous party conventions, bee been
the most flaming political year in
Canada since Confederation. With
all parties claiming an improve-
ment in their .position, during the
year this observer believes that
the most important developments
have been the virtual elimination
of numerous small political parties
and the weakening of the position
of the C.C.F. party in Western
Canada.
The pattern of the last three by-
electioes held .on December 2ath
was unusual enough to warrant
separate comment on eaeh.
Drew in Carleben; Ontario
The violenceof the campitignin,g
in Carleton County, on the edge of
Ottawa, lnade this contest the cen-
tre of attention across Canada.
Despite the exuberant language of
the newspapers supporting Mr.
Drew and the Progressive Conserv-
ative party the result in Carleton
was actually a bigdisappointment
to the P.C. supporters here. With
the Liberal Party, whioh polled ov-
er 5,300 votes in 1945, refraining
and with more than 3,500 new elec-
tors on the lists, Mr. Drew could
poll only 1,319 votes more than
the• former member, Mr. Boucher.
With the prestige of the party
leadership and fine weather which
made it possible to get out the
maximum vote the P.C. leaders ex-
pected to do a great deal better
than this. The' Liberal Party did
not nominate. when the Prime
Vinlater, M. St, Laurent, eePrese-
ed, the belief that the leader of the
opposition should have a seat hi
the House of Conamons. The P.C.
majOrite over the C.C.F. candidate
in the 1945 general election was
9,186. On December 20 Mi. Drew's
majority over the C.C.F. dropped
to 8,901.
Gerson in IVIarquette, Manitoba
A heavy storm the night before
and a cold day made voting a dif-
ficult job in Marquette. Only two
candidates were, nominated, form-
er Premier' Gerson, for the Liber-
als and Mrs. Keating for the C. C.
P. Mr. Webb, the nominated can -
dictate, refused to rein when ap-
proached by 'the Progressive Con-
servative leaders. In a, smaller
vote and with one eon. to hear
from, Mr. Garcon had a majority
of 4,469 compared with the Liberal
majority of 1,269 over the C.C.F.
in 1945.
Demers In Quebec
While the outcome of the by-
elections in Carleton and Mar-
quette was never in doubt, no one
felt very sure about what would
happen in Laval -Two Mountains in
Quebec. The seat bad been won
from the Liberals in 1940 and re-
tained' by the opposition In 1945.
This was the first Quebec by-elec-
tion since Mr. $t. Laurent became
leader of the Liberal Party. All
parties watched the by-election
with more than ordinary interest
because of the campaign waged
against the Liberal Leader in that
province. With returns not yet
complete, a majority of 2,528 took
the opposition candidate's deposit
and reassured the Liberals.

High Egg Output and Plumage
•Good egg production and good
Plumage are two conditions that
do not always go together; indeed
loss of feathers is often regarded
as a natural consequence of the
stress of heavy laying.
The two most common couses of
feather loss are moulting and
feather picking, although the rea-
s,ons for each condition are quite
different. Moulting is often the
aftermath of some condition such
as ill health or disturbance. Fea-
ther picking is a vice that presents
many perplexities when the basic
causes are sought. Overcrowdieg,
inactivity, and lack of bulk In the
feed have frequently been blamed
for outbreaks of feather pulling,
but even where these conditions do
noteexist -the trouble still occurs.
At the Dominion Experimental
Station at Harrow, Ont., says W.
F. Mountain, 'the maintenance of
good plumage during the time of
heavy production has been studied
for some years. It has been found
that, in the dirat stages, feather
picking does not •seem to have
serious effects, but the border line
to injury and cannibalism is very
narrow. In a pen where picking
was allowed to run its course, 10
Per cent of the birds were lost
within three days. Later, more
birds succumbed to injuries inflict-
ed by others..
Once under way, the vice is not
always easy to check, ao preventa-
tive, rather than curative methods
were chosen for trial. Succulent
green feeds gave early promise of
providing freedom from feather
picking, and later tests have shown
either chopped alfalfa hay or
sprouted oats to be fairly con-
sistent in allaying the urge of
poultry to pick at ane another.
From a practical standpoint the
hay treatment is favored, particu-
larly if power equipment is avail-
able to chop the hay. Cut in half-
inch lengths, steeped in cold wa-
ter overnight, drained in the
morning and fed in ahallow tubs,
the alfalfa is very :palatable judg-
ing by the appetite of the birds
for it. Less Waste occurs if sec-
ondcutting hay is used.
Freedom from feather picking is
reflected in the appearance of the
birds and while appearance filone
does not denote maximum profit,
it does indicate that harmony, an
essential factor for .good egg pre -
duction, exists in the flock. In, this
sense, the feeding of succulent
greens has much to-recoraMend it.

a plant breeder and in some cases
by growers having special apti-
