Plans.for the cam- paign have been formulated by com- mittees, which have been at work for the past.,month. The public is being asked to sup- port the project as generously as pos- .le, because only through such sup- port can the project be completed. .As has been pointed out, the cost of 'the project is to be met in three ways —by. public subscription, by funds raised by the Lions Club, and by a provincial grant. There is no liabil- ity on the part of the municipality, Insofar as the capital cost of the poor is concerned. The Lions Club, as it #lay done in every, case where it has made possiblea facility for the use sof the public, is assuming full re- sponsibility for the cost. It was in such a manner that the park,- as it Aexista today, was created. ' Canvassers will call on Seaforth and district residents, and appeals by r will go forward to former resi- c .11Ats. In each case it is hoped a generous response will result. If there are cases where it is de- sired to forward a donation before the campaign opens officially, this may be done by directing it to the -treasurer, J. 'E. Keating, Seaforth. family Meals and Discipline An answer to° the ever-present problem of disciplining the younger generation is suggested by the Sat- urday Evening, Post, *hen it points out the unfortunate effect irregular eating and dining habits of the pre- sent-day family have on 'parental discipline --or the lack of it. "Many people who have serious reservations about our younger gen- eration's behavior,e the Post says, "frequently bewail Ehe passing of the woodshed, the razor strap and simi- lar preventive medicine for chil- dren's psychological ailments. A strong plea was recently made for another old-fashioned — and fa more pleasant — institution: 'the American dining room with its Iarge family table,' whi h is rapidly be- coming gbsolete.

She reminded them that `teachers wish that parents could have more time Together with their children as a family' as a means of `reducing the school discipline problem,' and re- commended the dinner table as a good place to start. "Regular family meals, even in the least -regulated American fam- ilies, would tend to develop the small fry's respect .for the head of the fam- ily at the head of the table. The fam- ily meal would acquire some formal- fm, dignity and politeness, and ight even convince the kids that it is a gracious thing to say grace.

The authorities wanted to learn what may have contributed to his longevity. For one thing, they found he had been a slave, that he was noted as a bare -knuckle pugilist " who fought other slaves at the command of his master. In 1948 he sustained a broken leg when struck by an auto- mobile. Presently he is raising tur- keys and chickens -in Oklahoma. We are not told that examiners reached any specific conclusions af- ter looking this man over. But the rest of us, without looking at him; can be sure he was equipped with an excellent heart, that his arteries were not the kind that harden nor thick- en, and that what he ate throughout a century and 17 years agreed with him. }o-fR4i 1.1 fy' Cl 04 SEEN IN THE CO Injured By Falling Pole Mr. Stewart Ament is nursing a cut on the top of his head that required 15 stitches resulting from an accident which occurred when he moved the hay loader in the barn and in so doing, dislogded a pole that was resting on a beam. The pole landed on Stewart's head with a thud, opening up the cut.— Blyth Standard. "Bogus" Salesmen Selling Cutlery Attention is drawn to the fact that orders for stainless steel cutlery are being placed with "bogus" salesmen who are can- vassing the 'country. Residents are asked to contact police before placing orders for this merchan- dise, so that they may be sure the salesmen are genuine. — Clinton News -Record. Teacher Honored Pupils of the Nile School last week presented their former teach- er, Mrs. Bert Dougherty, ne Joan Killough, with a pair of silver can- dle holders and a silver sandwich plate. Before her marriage, show- ers were given in her honor by Mrs. Elmer Black, of Ashfield, and Mrs. Earl Raithby, of Gode- rich, aunt of the bride.

Brussels Talent To Appear on TV The Great Change (Ottawa Journal) No one can foretell exactly when, the great change will come. But along in the second half of the fourth month there comes a day when a• man is certain. When he goes across the farmyard at dawn to do the chores he stops a minute to savor the weather. A warm ,breeze has come in during the night; there's a heady, pungent fragrance from warming soil; robins are singing in the old orchard behind the barn and red -winged blackbirds are whistling in the swamp. As morning works along and the sun climbs into the sky one can hear, see, and feel added proof Song spar- rows call cheerfully from fenceaposts and woodpeckers drum on weather- ed telephone poles. When a coun- tryman takes axe, hammer and nails and walks his pasture boun- dary to mend the fence • he sees - cat- kins dangling from the birches and alders—a prehistoric seed ,process that originated a million ` or more • years ago wen plant life on our planet was changing from spore re- production to the encased seeds that make possible today's flowering world. From then until June solstice, Life forces surgeforward with irresist- ible power. Each day one can see the change; there is soft color as trees break their buds. and a misty loveliness tints the woodlands as leaves push out to sun and rain, and./ change hardwood ridges from grey brown to fresh, light green. Many Causes (The Acton Free- Press) The scramble for.towns to get new industries is pretty general through- out Ontario, but the average citizen does not fully realize the problems that confront those who undertake such work for the town. In Orange- ville. the Greening Wire Co. is build- ing a new plant and the mayor says the work on securing it started months ago. Few people realize how important their individual con- tribution can be and their attitude can affect the decision of an indus- try to. locate 'in a town. Recently, we had a call from a un- ion organizer who was endeavoring to organize for his union a plant in Acton which had just started to hire workers. He wanted us to assist in his campaign with "releases" of propaganda. We refused and ad- vised him to go back to where he came from until the new firm was atleast moved into town.. That weekend a scandalous letter was dis- tributed about town to the employees who had just started work. The re`- sult was no more people are being taken on in that plant at the present time until the management considers its position and the desirability of expansion. We have known of towns that lost industry because the townsfolk whom strangers interviewed did not speak well of their town. No in- dustrialist wants to locate in a town where the present populace is . not happy or congenial. Getting industry or making any town a pleasant place to live in is °. not the work solely of councils, com- mittees or boards. It is a job in which every citizen can help, even iii your greeting' on the street with those youmeet. UNTY PAPERS Award Contract For Landscaping A contract exceeding $2,000 for. landscaping around the Exeter public school was approved by the board at a special meeting Tuesday evening. Charles Hay, of Zurich, will do the work. The landscaping includes construction of an asphalt -surfaced tarmac area where children can play in wet weather; a coal ramp and lane; provision for two bicycle rack areas; sodding of the grounds east of the 1938 building; seeding of the southwest area. Part of the area was seeded last year by_the board in co-operation with Exeter Kinsmen who conduct their sum- mer playgrounds on the grounds. —Exeter Times -Advocate. "First One In" For 1955 Ronnie Baker, of 'town, had the honor of being the "first one in" the Maitland River this year, when he opened the swimming season at Howson's dam during the warm. weather on Monday. Asked how the water was, Ronnie replied: "Not bad"—somewhat dubiously, we thought. Less than three weeks ago Wingham suffered one of the worst blizzards of the sea- son, and the occasional patch of snow is still in evidence, although it is disappearing rapidly. At any rate, one notable feature of Ron- nie's exploit was the fact that it was a solo effort. Everybody else apparently, thought that the wa- ter was still to cold. — Wingham Advance -Times.

Jack Brown, who while out for a drive, noticed a door open at the mill and ups investigating found that the building had been broken into some time during Saturday night or early Sunday morning. En- trance had been gained through a door at the north end of the mill. The thieves gained entrance to the office by breaking a window in the office door. They dragged the office safe to the feed ware- house and, proceeded to sledge and crowbar it open. Records in the safe were untouched and the thugs took between $25 and $30 in- bilis and cash. Provincial police 'from.. the Virnghasa detachment -were called in one the' case. — Blyth Standard. Flying Saucers? Was it a bird, a plane or just what was it that three Goderich, policemen saw early last Friday? According to the three policemen, the object seenstreaking through the sky was blue and reit. At about 1:15 a.m., two town police officers, Constable Howard Wat- son and Patrol Sgt. Albert South, saw a two-tone object zoom through the sky from the south to the east end of town at "a terrific speed." Ontario Provincial Police Constable Morley Groves also re- ported seeing something streak ov- er Highway No. 4, south of Clin- ton. All the officers said the ob- ject had a "tail or fin." At Lon- don, however, the control tower at the airport said no one there had noticed anything out .of the ordinary. Astronomers in London did not notice any wayward met- eors or comets, and one said that this was not the season for met- eorites.—Goderich Signal -Star. Farm News of Huron Dry winds and ideal seeding conditions caught many Huron County farmers unprepared for spring seeding. In the southern part of the county, many farmers have completed the seeding of cer- eal grains and report excellent working conditions. Considerable interest has been taken in the new varieties of grains this year and although it was impossible to meet all these requirements with the desired varieties, quite a number of farmers are trying out the var- ieties Rodney and Simcoe in small quantities. A number of farmers have Garry oats under contract. Farmers report quite a good spring growth of their fall wheat crop, and the recent rain has hastened growth corlsiderably. Sugar beet growers are signing contracts at the present time, and if a 500 -acre crop is contracted north of Exeter it is anticipated that a new weigh station will be installed. at Kippen. $ 1: Cause of Poultry Losses Harmful ingredients in feeds are rarely the cause of serious declin- ing performance or mortality in poultry flocks, states C. R. Phillips of the Plant Products Division of the Federal Department of Agri- culture. When losses occur, a few affected birds should be submitted to a poultry pathologist for labora- tory examination, because the cause Of death in nearly all cases is disease. It is recognized that poultry diets are sometimes deficient in vitamins and minerals, which may affect the health of the birds. Such health changes, however, do not occur overnight and an obseryant poultryman will notice these changes before they reach serious proportions. A change of feed when an out- break of disease has arisen in the flock, has often been credited for the control. Actually the disease has run its course as it would have done on the original feed and valu- able time is lost when corrective action probably could have been taken had a poultry specialist been notified, Feed Seldom j4. NI1Y:.f5Att•`iI ih'ik APRIL 22, 1955 CRO-SSROADS (By JAMES SCOTT) TWO -WHEEL LOCOMOTION I can remember, in the days when travel was not quite so fast as it is now, bow a bicycle was the dream every young lad car- ried in his heart. Fellows pester- ed their parents or scrimped and saved, delivered papers or, like one lad I knew, raised chinchilla rabbits in order to get the funds to buy a bike. Usually this took time and the age when a boy got his wheel averaged out to around twlve or thirteen. I got mine as a reward for passing my En- trance. - But the pace has increased these days. In these times two - wheel bikes come in all sizes right down to little numbers which a three-year-old can handle. In our house, it seems to have been years since we were fighting a battle to ward off the dangerous day when the most important member of the household would get her bicycle. However, as any parents knows, you can only hold out so long, and last Christmas, with the connivance of Santa Claus, a gleaming blue and white bicycle found its way under the tree. Until recently it has -been no problem at all, but the last week or so, with the sun shining and the walks dry, it has been another story. Our young lady suddenly remembered her wheel and every day since she has been right out there huffing and puffing and scraping her shins along with the best of them—and, by golly, she has learned to ride it too ! I guess all us old folks are the same way. We don't realize just how quick the young fry are. I thought it would probably take weeks and weeks before Katie would be able to ride her bicycle, and in that complacent mood I said a very rash thing. I said, "When you learn to, ride your bike, maybe I'll get hold of one and we'll go fishing." Well, you know. It was just one of those things a fellow says. It sounded nice, but to tell the truth I never really thought I would ever have to do it. Ha! My bluff has been called. For a week now Katie has been:. asking at regular intervals—say, every ten minutes—"When are we going fishing?" I thought I had an air -tight ex- cuse by saying that I didn't have a bicycle and that I didn't know where to get one. It worked for a couple of days until a very good friend of mine—or at least he us- ed to be my friend—heard about all this and came over one morn- ing and said, "You know, my old wheel is just sitting there in the garage. I bet we could fix it up and you can use it any time you want." He wasn't fooling either. The very next day he brought the bike over, put a new inner tube in the front tire, oiled her and greased her and there she sits, raring to go. Fortunately it started to rain then, and up to this writing we haven't heard too much about wheeling out to Roxborough to do a bit of fishing, but it's 'going to turn fine any minute now. Now don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to get out of fish- ing. In fact, I like to go fishing. What's more, I like to spend as much time as I can doing things. with Katie Scott. But it's that two -wheel locomotion which has got me in a dither. .It's a long, long time since I rode a wheel. I'fn not quite so agile as I used to be. My legs get stiff and my back aches sometimes. I'm not the young fellow who used to ride down to Dublin and back just to work up an appetite for dinner. Just the same, you know we us- ed to have some pretty good times getting out into the country and riding along the roads at a pace slow enough to really see what was going on around us. It used to be a nice thing to come back after a ride feeling good and full of fresh air and sunshine. In fact, now that you mention it, it might be nice to try it again some time. In fact . . . Well now, who ,wants to wheel out into the country this after- noon and go fishing? BUFFALO HUNT IN 1843 (From in account of a buffa- lo hunt in the West in 1843 by John C.

Last week Joh Grimoldby, Walton, was presented With 'a purse of money which had been subscribed by - his numerous friends in this and Harlock vicin- ity, for the purpose of replacing the wages he will lose through the injury to his hand. The amount, was about $170 and will, no doubt, be a useful gift, and for whioh Mr. Grimoldby wishes toy, express his heartfelt thanks.

Connell has been for more office some instances it may result in complete failure. There are times, however, when old seed must be used. Tests made by Plant Patholo- gists of Science Service, Ottawa, over a period of three years, have shown that treating such old seed with some of the newer fungicides noticeably increased the percent- age of the seed that emerged from the soil as seedlings after plant- ing. A summary of the results of the tests states: Comparison of the results of this year's tests with those ob- tained in tests of the two previous years reveals that the emergence of seedlings from untreated seed has been drastically reduced in the present tests. The emergence in the first ,test was 42.5 per cent from the untreated seed, 36.25 per cent in the second year and finally 34.0 per cent in 1954. Treat- ment of this seed with an fungi- cides under test this year resulted in significant increase in emerg- ence. The emergence of untreated corn seed steadily decreased over the three-year period from a high of 80.8 per cent the first year un- der test to 69.5 per cent in the second year to_ 45.25 per cent this year. j,( treatments this year signific . 'Nacreased the emerg- ence of thi d. Emergence of soybean harvested in 1948 was 3.25 per Bent in last year's test and 19.00 per cent this year; once again all of the treatments under test this year significantly, increas- ed the emergence. With the ex- ception of Arasan all fungicides significantly raised the emergence of bean seed this year Seine kinds' of seeds when untreated 'showed very weak emergence; in particular are pea, cueumi)er, muskmelon, squash, spinach, vege- table marrow, watermelon and pumpkin. Most of these seeds re- sponded very well to seed treat- ments.o significant increase oc- curred lifter parsnip, asparagus and cabbage seed were treated. Of '23 vegetable seed stocks, 20 responded to seed treatment. Eighteen vegetables gave a signi- ficant increase in emergence as a result of treatment with Pano- gen and B856C, 17 with Phygon, 16 with Arasan, and 15 with Mer- culine, Ortbocide 75 and Vaneider 51.

We had. heard from a distance a dull and confused murmuring, and when we came in view of their dark masses, there was not one among us who did not feel his heart beat quicker. It was the early part of the day when the herds were feeding, and everywhere thy were in motion. Here and there a huge old bull was rolling in the grass, and clouds of dust rose in the air from various parts of the band, each the scene. of some obstinate fight: The distance across the prairie (two or three miles) gave us a fine opportunity to charge them before they could get among the river hills. It was too fine -a pro- spect for a chase to be lost, and halting for a few moments, the hunters were brought up and sad- dled; and Kit Carson and I start- ed together. They were now somewhat less than half a mile distant, and we rode' easily along until within about 300 yards, when a sudden agitation, a wavering in the band, and a galloping to and fro of some which were scattered along the skirts gave us the intimation that we were discovered. We started together at a hard gallop, riding steadily abreast of each other. We were now clos- ing upon them rapidly, and the front of the mass was already in he was preparing to cut up. rapid motion for the hills, and in a few seconds the movement had Communicated itself to the whole herd. - A crowd of bulls, as • usual, brought up the rear,. and every now and then some of them faced about, and then dashed on after the band a short distance, and turned and looked again, as if more than half inclined to stand and fight. In a few. moments, however, during which we had been quickening our pace, the rout was universal, and we were going over the ground like a hur- ricane. We entered (the herd) on the side, the mass giving way in ev- ery direction in their heedless course. Many of the bulls less active and less fleet than the cows, paying no attention to the ground, and occupied solely with the huhter were precipitated to the ground with great force, roll- ing over and over With the violence of the shock, and hardly distin- guishable in the dust. We separ- ated on entering, each singling out his game. My horse was a trained hunter. famous in the west under the name of Proveau, and with eyes flashing and'the foa'm flying from his mouth, sprang on after the cow like a tiger. In a few moments he brought me 'alongside of her, and, rising in -the stirrups. I fired at the dis- tance of a yard, the ball entering at the termination of the long hair and passing near the heart. She fell, hqdlong at the report of the gun, and checking my horse,. I looked around for my compan- ions. At a little distance, Kit was on the ground, engaged in tying his horse to the horns of a cow which TO THE EDITOR: Seaforth, April 16, 1955. Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: Like many others, I read your splendid report of the council meeting. Parts of this meeting can 'possibly he agreed to by many taxpayers as 'good .busi- ness for the town but then, there are points I, and perhaps there are others, who disagree on. If you scanthe reports closely you will see that there is little, if any, discussion in regards to the sewage scheme and above all, to the cleaning up and levelling of the town's eyesores, namely, the back alleys... I think everyone will agree with .'me that they are an absolute disgrace. Is this going to be Seaforth's white elephant? Is this condition of ruts, muck and sand the end to which Council aim- ed at when the sewage contract was let? Isthis what .the taxpay- ers are paying taxes for? Now, to top this, before the oth- er job is anyway near completed, Council has nerve enough to think of going out and hiring an archi- tect, 'who -would likely demand a lump sum, to discuss changes to 'the Tovol Hall. The taxpayers' money ar an uncdmpleted, disgracefulSwage steup is not enough, but to add this othef on is about the limit. ' It is time to economize. Get one job finished first and finished right, before tackling another. E It will take about $2,000 to fix the P.U.C. sub -station over for accommodation for the Provincial Pollee, so the report says, What makes me wonder is this: The P.U.C. has been clamoring for 'more Vomit, as well as the 'cowl, room, and yet the P.U.C. is paying the town a rental of $300 annually for their accommodation in the Town Hall, while the sub -station has .been standing idle since 60 - cycle conversion. I think the sub- station would make an ideal of- fice for the P.U.C., and the coun- cil office ' then would have more room too. I have nothing against the town wanting to retain, the Provincial Police, but if the Council has $2,000 to expend one place, then I believe it should be expended in renovating the rooms in the Town Hall that are being used most fre- quently, and they should be main- tained as such year in and year out. The extra space spoken of dur- ing the course of the meeting could be arranged so that every- one concerned would have plenty of room and the Provincial Police accommodation would be as re- quired, and -they would not ne d to move out of the Town Hall., $2,000 to spend,' plus cost of archi- tect at this time, with sewage on top of it all, definitely shows the taxpayer that it is time for Council to begin to economize. Think of the average taxpayer: think of those that are not work- ing steady; think of the little fel- low first ileitt time.
