SEAFORTH, Friday, April 30, 1954.
- THE PEE-WEES SCORE
The success of Young Canada
Hockey Week in Goderich must be
encouraging to those who have felt
that no longer- is there any amateur
hockey. Certainly it is refreshing
to know that there are hundreds of
boys earnestly working to perfect
themselves purely as a result of the
love of competitive sport.
Not the least among the teams
taking part was the Seaforth entry
which brought honor to the town in
capturing the MeGee trophy, ail-
blematic of the series 'B' Champion-
ship. Certainly the members ofthe
team, who competed against much
heavier and more experienced play-
ers, deserve heartiest congratula-
tions for the job they have done.
Probably the most appreciated wish
we could extend to them would be to
express the hope that each player
grows up and achieves a place in
hockey fame, similar to that of the
. Kennedys, the Richards, and theoth-
ers who are their heroes of today.
-Congratulations are also due the
Seaforth Legion, who made possible
the Saturday morning hockey sche-
dules from which carne the Pee-Wees,
and to those individuals who through
a long winter, have looked after the
Seaforth teams. Invariably at a per-
sonal sacrifice in time and money,
those who have been responsible for
the young players have continued
their 'good work, determined to en-
sure the boys the opportunity of par-
ticipating in and learning the fine
points of hockey.„, Their reward will
he the success •attained by the Sea -
forth Pee-Wees.
KINSMEN COME TO HENSALL
The first service club to be organ-
ized in Hensall came into being Wed-
nesday night when the Kinsmen Club
received its charter.
Service clubs have a long record of
public service in many communities -
in Huron County. reaching back
some thirty years. In each com-
munity in which, a club has been ac-
tive, there are many evidences of un-
selfish contributions to the welfare
of the community and its citizens,
which have been made possible by the
members of the club.
On the basis of this record, Hen-
sall can anticipate much good to re-
sult, in years to come, from the birth
of the community's newest organiza-
tion.”
RURAL FIRES AND
THE TELEPHONE
Private or municipally owned rur-
al telephone companies, faced with
rising costs, difficulties of operation,
and large capital expenditures, have,
in many instances, agreed to offers
to purchase by the Bell Telephone
Company.
This has meant that the regula-
tions of the Bell Company now apply
to the rural subscribers of such com-
panies, and in some cases have cre-
ated concern among subscribers ac-
customed to the more informal ar-
rangements that obtained when their
phone service was a local responsi-
bility.
Now the Middlesex Federation of
Agriculture has recognized the diffi-
culty and has protested at the elim-
ination of what it considers to be a
long standing right of rural phone
liters. The protest arose when Bell
'telephone Company regulations for-
bid operators to give information on
fires in rural areas.
"We feel that in rural areas the
rural people are our best volunteer
firemen and .we want our neighbors
notified in time of a fire," the meet-
ing said in a resolution.
Douglas Simpson, chairman of the
Middlesex Federation, said the Bell
Company is taking over many dis-
trict telephone systems and doing
away with the "traditional rural
telephone company custom" of giv-
ing a special ring to farmers near a
fire.
The very foundation of a rural
community is the manner in which
the citizens help each other in time
of trouble. In the eyes of the Bell
Company there probably are good
reasons for this particular regula-
tion, but at the same time its enforce-
ment could reduce, in great degree,
the assistance so necessary when fire
strikes in a rural area,
SPEAKING OF THE WEATHER
There are people in this district
who have done a lot of complaining
about the weather recently. And we
have been in enthusiastic agreement.
It has been too wet, too cold.
Other times it is the snow that
bothers us, or the long dry days when
the temperature reaches a hundred,
and it seems as if it will never rain.
We think then of other parts of
the _ world that enjoy predictable
weather—weather that is neither too
hot or too cold, too wet or too dry.
Perhaps a place like Texas, for in-
stance.
Well, this is what happens in Tex-
as at a town called Seminole, accord-
ing to the Wall Street Journal of
New York. "First, thick dust billow-
ed into the town, cutting visibility to
a few yards. Then the wind shifted
and brought a 20 -minute hail storm
which bombarded cattle and killed
some chickens. Next a curtain of fog
arrived and moved up and down like
a yoyo, three times in an hour. At
some point during all this, a tornado
blasted a granary on a nearby farm
and the section received an estimat-
ed eight inches of rain."
Perhaps we had better leave well
enough alone and not complain too
much about the weather.

Mark 42nd Anniversary
Ice Cream Cone Anniversary
(St. Louis Post -Dispatch)
When the 50th anniversary of the
St.. Louis World's Fair rolls around
next May, it will bring with it ,the
fiftieth anniversary of a number of
things that came out of the fair, not
the least of which is that great Amer-
ican institution, the ice cream cone.
Its creation was completely acci-
dental. Someone bought a waffle at
a penny waffle stand, twisted it into
a cornucopia and fill0 it with ice
cream. It was both convenient and
delicious.
Look what's happened since. Ev-
ery year the American people alone
consume roughly two and a half bil-
lion cones which, if laid end to end,
would reach a mighty long way. The
cone contributes its share toward the
consumption, in this country of
more than 62 billion gallons of ice
cream a year.
Not only that, but the cone has
spread over most of the world.
Their Own Canada
(Peterborough Examiner)
Perhaps the days of pioneering are
over. In those days the immigrant
expected to take the rough with the
smooth. Many of our readers are old
enough to have watched this process
at work. Peoplf who found no cul-
ture to their taste in Canada set to
work and did their best to create
what they missed, and often they suc-
- ceeded far beyond their dreams.
People who lived lives which were
not governed by the same ideals as
their neighbors persisted in their
ways, and found after a time that
their neighbors respected them, and
that there was much to respect in
their neighbors. They brought with
them to Canada such gifts as they
had, and very often they found that
Canada had a place for their gifts.
Thousands have taken our country
as they found it and then, little by
little, they have moulded some part
of it a little nearer to their heart's
desire. They are the people who
have made. Canada, and are still
making it.

Seven Bibles Found in
Wall of Log House
(By Bill Templin in The Fergus
News -Record)
Alex Lawrence, who lives on the
fourth line of West Garafraxa, has
been demolishing an old log house
that was on his property. A new
house has been built beside it and
there was no necessity to keep the
old one.
There is nothing too unusual
about tearing down an old build-
ing these days, but sometimes
some odd things turn up. '
When Mr. Lawrence was remov-
ing the short run of logs between
the door and the window, he dis-
covered that one log had been left
out. In this apace were seven old
Bibles. The hole had been plaster-
ed up and the Bibles sealed in the
wall,
There is no apparent reason for
the Bibles. Perhaps they were put
in there as a good luck charm, but
this custom, if it was a custom,
has not been reported as being
found in any other old building.
Yet the fact that there were seven
Biibles might tend to support the
idea of a luck charm. 'They cer-
tainly weren't used because there
was any scarcity of lumber.
The covers were removed from
all the books but the pages seem
to be intact. No solution of the
mystery has been; found yet.
The finding of the Bibles led to
an investigation of the property. It
developed front the old deeds and
Mortgages that the land was origin-
ally granted to the Canada Com-
pany by the Crown in 1844. The
northwest part of Lot 3, Conces-
sion 4. of West Garafraxa, was sold
in 1853 to a Thomas Smith, gentle-
man. He in turn sold it to Charles
McFarlane, the first of a line of
:VICE:triunes who owned the prop-
erty.
A grandson, McFarlane,
came into possession of the farm
on March 23. 1867. Apparently this
is the date when the log house was
built. According to an old: story,
the.house was built in a hurry for
William to bring his bride to it.
McFarlane also hail a mortgage on
the farm. The property consisted

Has 94th Birthday
On Sunday, Mrs. Anne Broen,

Miss,Sadie Brown, in the village of
Monkton, had the privilege of cele-

she received the good wishes df

and the interest rate was 11 per
cent. Other mortgages, held earl-
ier, were for as high as 12 per
cent. Small wonder that some peo-
ple made a lot of money out of
mortgages in earlier days when
they got those rates of interest.
Whether or not the Bibles were
added to the wall in 1867 is hard
to say. They could have lbeen plac-
ed there when the house was 'plas-
tered at a later date, but it seems
likely that they were put in whent

Now the old house has been re-
moved. It is now a pile of cedar
and spruce loge that will make ex-
cellent fire wood. The adze marks'
are to be plainly seen and one can
marvel that the logs are cut so
true with such a crude hand tooe.
Mr. Lawrence remarked that
there was no money found in the
ruins of the old house. This is
not surprisieg. The most impres-
sive feature of the papers that tel
the story of the farm is the num—
ber of mortgages. There was hard-

To The Editor
Toronto, April 22. 1954.
The Editor,
The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: I noted in that fea-
ture story, "Figues Don't Lie." that,
according to a 1'N statistical re-
view. "the world population has
jumped almost. 500 million in the
past 20 years'; . also that "the
world's factories are producing to-
day much mote thin they did a
quarter of a century ago''; and
that "there are more doctors, nurs-
es, pharmacists, midwivtis and hos.
pitals today than 20 years ago,
This is helping to reduce the wide
differences between tris health
standards of more developed coun-
tries and of less dev6loped areas.
But. the gaps are still considerable.
according to the statistics."
Apparently the human family is
increasing by about 70,000 every 24
hours; so that this factis playing
a central role in the global race
between peace and hunger. It has
been accented elsewhere, and. by
responsible observer's, that it is
only the well-fed nations that make
war. Even if this he factual, I sug-
gest that it gives insufficient base
to the cynical conclusion that war
stems necessarily from the well-
fed netions. T prefer to interpret
the situation the other way round,
i.e., that without adequate "ra-
tlons" war le jest not possible. I
think it was Sir Norman Angel
who pointed out that "war is not
caused by hunger; but hunger is
caused by war."
From my grassroots angle. there-
fore, with the world population in-
creasing .by "almost 500 million in
the past 20 years"—i.e., the equiva-
lent of more than 30 Ganadas since
1935!—there isn't a truly "surplus"
pound of food or fiber anywhere at
the present hour.
If the so-called "have" peoples
are half as wise as they think they
are, they will begin to use food as
a weapon in the fight between free-
dom and tyranny. I wast impressed
with the thought of one of the
col-
umnist e the other day in asserting
the view that the tough lads at the
Kremlin controls are "more fearful
of food cargoes than munitions of
war."
Talking about "the gaps" in the
living standards of various peoples.
reminds me of the following re-
vealing figures showing theThourly
wage -rates in the textile industry
in specific countries: India, nine
cents; Japan, 11 cents; Italy, 24
cents; Britain, 44 cents, and $1.05
ia Canada.
Obviously, when these nations
would send their "textiles" into the
same nParket, the competitive fire-
works are inevitable, and it is just
natural to call for the cushion of
the protective tariff. In this rich
market, the North American work-
ers are very vulnerable.

Messrs. George Martin and J.
McConnell, who have been in part;
nerS'hip in the horse business for
some time, have disposed of their
horse, "Royal Scotcriman," and
have dissolved partnership, Mr.
Martin having purchased Mr. Mc
Connell's interest in the well-known
stock horse, "Glasnick." Mr. Mar-
tin will travel this horse this sea-
son as usual. 'Both Mr: Martin and
"Glasnick" are too well andfavor-
ably known to the public to require
any commendation from us, but we
may say that "Glasnick" has been
a profitable horse, both for his own-
ers and his patrons, and there is
no doubt but Mr. Martin will do as
well wiLh him this season as he
has ever done before, and if he
does he will have no cause to cOm-
plain.
Mr. Charles Soole.. of town, met
with a painful accident on Thurs-
day last. He was doing some work
at the Roy -al Hotel and while stand-
ipg on a ladder handing some tools
through a trap hole to a room above
him, the ladder broke and Mr.
Soole fall to the floor, and as a re-
sult two bones in his right ankle
were fractured. This will confine
Mr. Soole to the house for some
time.
One day last week Mr. John
Grieve, V.S., had the misfortune to
meet. with a painful accident. He
was performing an operation on a
horse! at Plaeld's, in Tuelteramith.
and during the operation the horse
moved and a knife Mr. Grieve was

a gash whibh ' required several
stitches.
Two good span of horses from
Stanley were delivered In Seaforth
one day recently, to Mr. William
Cudmore, the 'buyer. One handsome
span of bays belonged to Mr. John
Campbell, for which he received

over 1700 pounds each, belonged to
Mr. James Campbell and brought
$400. Mr. Cudmore is a good buy-
er and we would like to see him

Mr. James Moore,while return-
