Memorial Arena and
Community Centre Opened
The citizens of Seaforth and dis-
trict may, with justifiable pride, take
part this week -end in the ceremon-
ies in connection with the official
opening of the -Memorial Arena and
Community Centre. The building is
not only a fitting memorial to those
of the district who gave. their lives
in the Second World War, but it at
the same time fills a long -felt need
of the district in that it provides
accommodation of a type which in
the past has not been available.
Once the decision to proceed with
construction had been arrived at,
work went ahead rapidly. The fact
that the official opening is taking
place this week is in itself a tribute
to the energy and zeal of the build-
ing committee and of the assistance
and co-operation of the community
at large. Only to those who have
been associated with the project in
an active manner are known the
problems that were overcome, the
thousand .and one details that requir-
ed attention, and,he countless hours
of planning and work that were in-
volved. The community may well
say thanks to the members of the
building committee.
We cannot help but think that
those whom the building commemor-
ates would approve. They who loved
life so well would want a living
memorial—one that would add to
the enjoyment of life, and enrich the
life of the community for years to
come.
But in order to make this possible,
now that the building is a reality,
there devolves on the community a
responsibility greater than that.
which resulted in its construction.
The 'Community Centre and Arena
is but steel and wood. In itself it can
accomplish nothing. The extent to
which it will serve the community
depends upon how it is used, and up-
on the vision and plans of those who
are responsible for its operation.
The building can only be a living
memorial if every one who worked
so hard, who contributed so liberally,
continues to work and to contribute
in time- at least, so that it may serve
all the interests of the community.
The work and the planning will, of
necessity, require to be objective and
take into consideration all the needs
of the community — those of the
farms as well' as those of town, these
of the young people, the older peo-
ple.
The Community Centre and Arena
must be used as fully as possible in
summer, 'as well as in winter. ' It
Must, and will, become the point
about which the activities .6f ' the
community revolve. In this way
there can result a closer understand-
ing and fellowship throughout the
community.
There is no doubt that with a con-
tinuance of that enthusiasm and co-
operation which marked its con-
struction, the Seaforth and District
Memorial Arena and Community
Centre will be a vital element in the
lives of the citizens of Seaforth and
district for generations to come.

the "Canadian Statesman," and loSe
on .to, answer its own question.
`Local news is 'a 'wedding in your
home church_ Local news is your
week -end visitor; Local news is the
report of your lodge,club, church or
organization. You know these and
many like .definitions of local news.
Such intimate and friendly news is
only to be found in your home -town
weekly newspaper.
"Local news' is what you talk about
over the back fence while you're
hanging Monday's wash ori the line.
It's the new people who moved in
across the street. It's a recipe you
read about in "Something For the
Girls," the sales coming up at the
local merchants' stores. It's the
church supper in the offing, the
write-up of the family reunion on
Sunday. It's news about you that
you can only read in your local news-
paper.
'There's no other • medium of in-
formation custom-made for you,
none other which knows you so well.
For your local newspaper is you. It
is the continued story of your to -
days and a flashback to your yester-
days. And without you there would' -
be no news.
"Tucked into the mailbox, spread
out over the living room floor, or
propped up against the coffee pot,
you find the local paper. You some-
times may think it's nothing much,
pages of -creased and crumpled pa-
per. Yet it's news, better still it's a
symbol of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness. It's you — your
failures and your achievements, your
past and your present, in sickness
and in health, for better or for worse,
once every week. You welcome your
local paper as a part of the family."

Highway Accidents
There were 353 highway accidents
in Huron County in 1949, according
to the annual report of the Motor
Vehicles Branch, Department of
Highways. During the same period
there were 302 accidents in Perth
h
County, and but 188 in Bruce.
We wonder how many of these ac-
cidents could have been avoided had
the driver given a little thought to
the rights of others 'using the high-
ways, or had taken a few seconds
longer on a trip, or had looked be-
fore passing another car. Each ac-
cident was probably caused by a lit-
tle thing—a sudden spurt of speed,
or a momentary glance from the
road. But as a result of those care-
less acts innocent people have had to
spend painful days in hospital and
thousands of dollars have° been lost
in damaged vehicles.

• Water is Valuable
(Clinton News -Record)
By drying up marshes and lakes
we have destroyed the homes' and
breeding grounds of useful water .
fowl and fur -bearers. By clearing
lake and steam banks of bushes we
have `exposed the water to sunshine,
warming it so that it is spoiled for
the best fish- life. By denuding hill-
sides of trees we have increased wa-
ter wastage and lowered the water
level in great areas; making it impos-
sible for the roots of food plants to
find moisture. By inadequate man-
agement, we run short of water flow
for production 'of electricity, as in
Ontario last year.

Civil Marriage
(Exeter Times -Advocate)
Almost any minister can tell of
people asking him to marry them
who simply are unfit for marriage.,
There are the morally corrupt and
physically unfit who present them-
selves for a minister's services on
such ' occasions. Then there are
divorced parties who seek re -mar-
riage. The clergyman with an active
conscience' hesitates to give his ser-
vices in such ' cases. There are those,
too, who by their practiceput them-
selves outside the pale of church life
but,',who look to the clergy to assist
them on the day of marriage. Fur-

While we are ha the neighbor- old sow going thrbugh the gate;.
lghla `aaoys loess, ,sallloO jo pooq and the smoke going up the china-
around the corner ;was the black- ney. Nothing bhrdts me more now
than to hear a good, rich, Scotch
burr.
The Sundays of those days were
the dullest, dreariest days of all
the year, It made a 'fellow feel as
though he'd much rather be at
school. 'We weren't allowed to do
anything we wanted to; it was a
sin to have any kind of pleasure
on the "Sawbath" day. You
couldn't whistle or sing anything
but hymns or psalms. You couldn't
go swimming. You co`ldn't read
any secular reading, not even the
„local weekly paper! I read Pil-
grim's Progress and Fox's Book of
Martyrs till I knew every Pilgrim
by sight, and -had hidden in all
the caves of Scotland with Fox's
Martyrs till I loathed the whole
box and dice of them. Reading
matter was scarce, and it -wasn't
for a year or so of the Pilgrims
and Martyrs that Z discovered
there was lighter and more inter
esting reading. Then, Mr Hannah
loaned me Dickens and Sir Walter
Scott's Waverly Novels, and I was
in the seventh heaven with "Dav-
id Copperfield," "Pickwick Papers,"
"Oliver Twist," "The Old Curiosity
Shop" (which I twice visited in
London, and my- imagination riot-
ed
ioted in the glory and medeival page-
antry of "Kenilworth," "Ivanhoe"
and •"The Fair Maid', of Perth."
One fall I worked pulling and
shaming turnips at the Lawrence
farm, south of the Mill Road. I
was nearly nine years old. Some
of the turnips' seemed as big as
me, One night after supper, in
the cosy farmhouse, I got hold of
Mark Twain's inimitable book,
"Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry
Finn." It opened a whole new
world of reading to me, and when
bedtime came every night it was
hard to pry myself loose from the
fascinating adventures. of those
immortal boys. I bad the privi-
lege of meeting Mark Twain in
smith and wagon -making shop of
Robert Fulton. It' was a delight to
get into the shop' when the big
farm horses were being shod. The
bellows, the forge, the flying
sparks from the anvil, were all in-
tensely fascinating. What I re-
member Pulton's 'blacksmith shop
especially for was the old, rusting,
homemade old-time velocipede by
some local smithy. It was Nell
built and sturdy, but was appar-
ently bunged up and out of com-
mission. How I wanted that vel-
ocipede! I had visions of pedal-
ling it along the Mill Roadat an'
incredible speed (compared with
walking). Time and again I went
to the yard behind the shop and
yearned over the battered old ma-
chine. Finally, I got up courage to
ask Mr. Fulton what it would cost
to have the thing repaired and put
in running order. He told me:
"Five dollars." He' }night as well
have said five hundred. Five dol-
lars to me in those days looked as
big as a barn door! I never did
get the cglntraption, and' though I
have owned and driven modern
bicycles and motor cars, I still
seem to long for my lost .ambition
—the velocipede, wonder of the
time. (This was before the first
high -wheeled bicycles).
I might mention here that many
years after, on a boat from. Seattle
to Victoria, B.C., we stopped at
Port Townsend, Wash. I went
ashore to the post office to mail
some letters, and there at the
wicket was Alex Fulton, son of
Robert Fulton, whom I had gone
to school with: We did a Siwash
Indian ,dance and whooped, ,spec-
ially when Alex recalled that old
velocipede.
Across the road from where we
lived at the old toll gate corner,
was the Halliday farm. There was
at that time a hedge bordering the
road. After the advent of the high
wheel bicycle, one day Mrs. Halli-
day was' Sitting sewing at her front
window, when a man on a high
wheel bicycle came rapidly along
the road. Mrs. Halliday • could see
only the heads and shoulders of the
man above the high hedge, and the
head and shoulders were apparent-
ly gliding through the air, without
any visible support, with the great-
est of ease, like the man on the
flying trapeze: She called excited-
ly to her daughter: "Isabel! Come
here quick and see the dell fleein'."
Today if she could sit at the same
window and watch the streamlin-
ed motor cars flashing and glisten-
ing by at from 50 to 70 miles an
hour, she would' think all the dell's
in the underworld were sure "flee -
in'."
Mrs. Halliday was a fine woman
with a great warm heart and a
splendid neighbor. Many a "tattle
scone" and oat cake, hot from: the
oven, she brought oat to her son,
Jack, and I at play. And the broad
Scotch of her was a treat to hear.
From the Hallidays and other
neighbors I learned broad Scotch.
My father, born in Paisley, Scot-
land, came to Canada in 1828, with
his parents, when he was just two
years old, so I did not hear much
broad' Scotch at home.
Once we had a new window cut
in the upstairs of our house, and
Jack Halliday wanted •to go up
and look out of it to see what he
could see. "What do you see,
Jack?" I asked him. After he had
taken a long look, "Naething," he
answered disgustedly, "only the
auld ado gaun through the liggit
and tiie reek gaun up the lum." I
quite understood he Saw only the 1 on the "Sawbath" day.
later years.
Then came the Nick Carter dime
novel stage. To be caught read-
ing one of those. dime novels
-stamped a boy as hopelessly wick-
ed. And yet they were just stories
of the wild west, the scalping of
settlers by Indians, and' the shoot-
ing down of the marauding paint-
ed savages. It was a dull page
when "another redskin" did not
"bite the dust!" As a boy, I never
could understand why in thunder
the redskins wanted to. bite the
dust. And just 'think of the awful
stuff parents allow their young
sons and daughters to read absorb-
edly today—stuff that would have
made their grandmothers faint
away of embarrassment! Well,
maybe their great-grandmothers.
Speaking of our strict Sawbath
day in those days, I remember on
one of the Sundays we rode to Eg-
mondville
gmondville Church in Ireland's wag-
on. The seats were boards across
the wagon box. On the way home
the conversation was a discussion
of the sermon we had just heard.
One of the elders asked me what
the text had been. I didn't know,
as I was more interested in a cater-
pillar crawling up the back of the
pew, and I wanted to see it get
on the neck of the man in front.
A read -headed Scotch boy was ask-
ed the same question. "Sure," he
replied, "it was Paul's Epistle to
the Calithumpians!" . I roared with
loud laughter, as •I pictured St.
Paul handing out epistles to a Cali-
thumpian parade in the Jersualem
streets. I was severely reprimand-
ed for actually laughing out loud

New Varieties Need Fair Test
Plant breeders who are respon-
sible for the development and
introduction of new varieties are
usually cautious in making recom-
mendations on adaptability, .dis-
ease resistance, maturity and the
like. Such recommendations are
naturally based on extensive tests
covering different sail and clim-
ate, and they do not apply to in-
dividual farms or even local condi-
tions. Small soil differences, lack
of good drainage, low fertility,
weeds and other factors may of-
fer sufficient handicaps to the per-
formance of a new variety to con-
demn it in the opinion of the grow-
er.
When new . varieties are being
tried for the first time, the grower
must bear this in mind, for unless
normal growing conditions are pro-
vided, it is not a fair testa If an
unfamiliar variety is offered for
sale outside the area for which it
is normally recommended, it is best
to ,make inquiries from reliable
sources as to its origin and pos-
sible adaptability for other areas.
Failing this, the seed should only
be, used' et first for small scale
trials.
The way in which sheep a
shorn and the manner in which
wool le prepared .for shipmen is
important. Damp, wet and dirty
fleeces are bound to be discounted,

mental Station, Kentville, N.S.
The long time that the land is
occupied by an asparagus planta-
tion makes it highly desirable that
the soil be made fertile 'and be put
into the best physical condition
before the plants are set. One, of
the essentials is a soil well sup-
plied with humus to encourage the
extensive root system. The soil re-
action should be in. the pH range
6.0 to 6.8.
The crowns for setting may be
purchased from a nursery or can
be home grown. The' latter method
is perhaps the most desirable
when many crowns, are needed. In
growing the plants the seed should
be soaked in water (85 deg. F. to
95 deg. F.) for four or five days
before seeding and. then sown in
rows 2 feet apart and later thin-
ned to 31r in the row. This should
be done bery early in the spring.
The plants are left in the nurs-
ery for one or two years depend-
ing on their size.
In setting the plantation only
large healthy crowns, which have
not been allowed to wither or heat,
should be selected. The crowns are
dropped every 18 to 24 inches in a
7-8 inch deep furrow, and the roots
are spread out and' covered with
2 to 3 inches of soil. As cultiva-
tion is practised to kill weeds,
