Comics Are a Bad Thing Says Jack Pickard, Just 86 Jack Pickard has a big ambition—it's to go on a plane ride. Jack was 86 Tuesday and he's justafraid he’ll get to be 100 and neverhave a flip. Once he got close, whenmembers of his family rushed him to a field where a pilot was barnstor­ming, but the plane took off and van­ished just before Mr. Pickard gotthere.There’ll be a family celebration inhonor of the birthday and he hopes every relative will be there. He hasfour daughters—Sarah, at home;Mrs. J. C. Smith, Mrs. James Keenan and Mrs. Gladys McMillan, and twosons Wm. J. of Monkton and C. 0.Pickard of Ingersoll. And there are Bride-Elect 19 grandchildren and eight greatgrandchildren.And speaking of children . . Mr. Pickard thinks the youngsters of to­day are a far worse bunch than inhis day. And he blames the comics, too.“They’re a bad thing,” he said.“They take the youngsters’ mindg offtheir work and education. First thing they look for are the comic books—not ways to improve themselves andtheir education. And kids in my day didn’t steal like some of them do to­day.”Mr. Pickard, born in Ingersoll, onCharles St. W., and for many yearsa drayman, claims Ingersoll wouldhave been a prosperous 10,000 to12,000 people now if, it hadn’t been for local option. '“Boy, when we had 13 hotels, fourbars and one brewers’ warehouse in this town we had less trouble thanwe have now,” he asserted. “Goingdry has killed this town.” Mr. Pickard chewed tobacco for75 years, but gave it up, figured itwasn’t doing him any good. He smo­ kes a pipe now—has been for 65years— and collects antiques andthings old, such as a book printed in1700-odd, of which he is very proud.He spends his time these dayswalking about, reading the papers and tending six chickens he has inhis barn.And has Ingersoll changed muchin 86 years? "Yep, quite a bit,” he chuckled,"although the roads don't seem anydifferent.” Miss Ruth Witty, daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Frank Witty, Ingersoll, whose engagement to Claude Brouil­lette, son of Mr. and Mrs. P.

BIRTHS BAIGENT:- Mr. and Mrs. WallaceBaigent arc happy to announce thebirth of their daughter at Alexan­dra Hospital, Ingersoll,. March 20,1950. A three-act comedy play waa pre­ sented last. Thursday and Friday at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall, by the Young Ladies’ Sodality.

The revived interest in the project, overwhelmingly de­feated by a public vote last year, follows the new system ofeducational grants instituted recently by the provincial gov­ernment. Under the old system, government aid only up to $200per pupil could be expected—not even guaranteed. Under the new system, however, the government will guarantee 75per cent, of the debenture debt in the building of a school.Thus, under the new set-up, the five communities invol-/ ved—Ingersoll, North Oxford, West Oxford, West Zorra andEast Missouri—must find only 25 per cent, of the cost of theh new school. Last year, the district school board was unable to guar­antee to the rural communities they would have to pay onlya percentage of 25 per cent. Now they can, and it is becauseof this it is felt perhaps both Ingersoll and the four other com­munities will ijow be able to get together on what is undoubt­ edly a crying need.No one last year denied the need of a school; the questionof its financing was the stumbling block. Now, perhaps, it would be a good thing for the fivecouncils to get together once again, with the Hfew governmentprogram before them, and see if work can’t jjit under way.

Thirteen Games, 11 Shut-outs pe e _Wees Head for Guelph Anyone wandering along Charles iSt. E., in the vicinity of the Commu- 1nity Centre last Satuflay around < 5.45 p.m. would have seen from 12to 17 boys tired but with stars in I their eyes. Why the stars? 1 Because next Saturday, April 1mark..a red letter day in the lives of ithose boys. These lads, all between the i ages of 10 and 12 are going to Guelph ito take part in a hockey tournament ,equal to the Stanley Cup playoffs in the eye« of these boys. All these boys played on various 'teams in the Pee-Wee Division of the Y’s Men’s Hockey League. Close to30 were selected for this choice team.They were gradually whittled down to the present group of seventeen whowill carry the hope of further succes­ses with them to Guelph. Let us meet the boys: The For­wards;Jimmy “Weaver” Thain; Jimmy isthe unanimous choice of the boys for captain as Jimmy carries a great dealof power with him down the ice. Jimwas voted not only the most valuable player to the team on which he playedbut was also the league’s top scorer. Roger "Little Chief” Henhawke; when Roger wound up *for a spurtdown the ice the other players mightjust as well have stood still. Roger wound in and out around the for­wards, past the defense and in on thealmost helpless goalie. Ted “Butch” Witty; Ted, the assis­ tant captain, is the man who it? thethird man on the Thain-Henhawke-Witty line. When this Hne appears on the ice the other team was certain agoal would be scored. Ted was alwaysthere to receive a pass or else to setun Jimmy or Roger. Built like ano­ ther Barilko, a great deal of creditfor his team’s goals should go toButch. Martin “Marty” Herbert; a won­derful centre who sparked hia teaminto a second place spot in the Pee-Wee league. In spite of the fact his ,team waa beat in the playoffs, Marty , was there to lead his men on in theattack.Donald "Lank” Finley; A swift ] left winger whose long legs took him 1anywhere uti the ice Be dvrirod" and jthat place usually was enemy .terrl- <torjr. .... . Jon "Jingo” Pellow; Another lanky ,member of the All-Star team who car ried the puck up the ice for one ofhis team-mates to put it in. Jon waa quite satisfied with setting one of hislinemates up for a goal but just as happy when the rubber disc went bythe goalie from his own stick. Warren “Shrimp” Staples; Warren moved up from the “Squirts” rank totry out for the All-Star Pee-Weeteam and made iLWarren plays a speedy wing for the team’s third line. Jimmy “Wimp” Vyse; Our Jimmyis just about the most useful mem­ber on the team. Jimmy is one of the most agile members of the goalieclub as well as fitting on a defenseline or leading his forward Hne intoenemy territory.Alan “Celery” Hinge; Alan, an (Continued on Page 10) R. 5.

One thing about most of those players we just mentioned—theywant to play ball this summer.

Welburn did awaken long en­ough to test Hume twice but weresoon desperately knocking the rub­ ber away from their own goal again.Barker and Titu* lit the light to makethe score three to 0 at the.close ofthe second period. With Furtney serving five minutesin the cooler, Welburn suddenly fla­ shed back to life at the start of thethird period, to boat Hume twice inthree minutes and for a while it looked like the game might developinto a worthwhile struggle. WhenBarker sank hi. third, a long screenshot, at the half-way mark, though, they crawled back into their shell andfor the rest of the time it wa* Rich­ardson versus Centreville, Barker banging in his fourth and fifth goalsto make the score 6 to 2.With Centreville opening their ORHA championship series here to­night, it will be at least ten days be­fore the trophy can be ’ decided.

Town Connors Edge Rural Brothers 7 to 5 Playing a Connor! extra to ------Centreville enemies, (two of theirs were sick) Ingersoll poured a six-goal splurge in the third and overtimeperiods to take a 7 to 5 decision in their exhibition game here Thursdaynight.The cobwebs were very evident onthe Ingersoll sextette during the firsttwo period* a* Centreville checkedthem to a standstill, taking a 1 to 0lead in the first on a goal by Barker at 7.60. Things looked really bad forthe town boys in the second when LeoConnor, who turned in an excellent performance, wa* beaten twice byScotty Connor and Barker. Ingersollgot back into the picture at 18.1C when Henhawke beat Hume fromLand and Ken Connor, but 14 secondslater Chalkley blasted in Centreville's fourth.Till the start of the third periodthe game had been very much ‘ano­ ther exhibition game’. Both teamsplayed at half steam, and the Juniorsshowed their long lay-off badly. Thethird period opened with a rush ofIngersoll shots, Henhawke netting hissecond goal at 1.15 and Bartram mak­ ing it three at 3.47. With their leadbrutally cut to a precarious one goal, Centreville powered back into thepicture testing the erstwhile Bummerseveral times until Ken Connor andbrother Bob combined for the formerto tie the score at 16.21.Going into overtime, Ken Connor bamboozled Hume right at the startto put Ingersoll into the lead after36 seconds of play and Henhawke completed his hat-trick to make it6 to 4 at the two minute spot. Chalk-ley tallied at 4.26 in the overtime period for Centreville, but it was ob­vious that the Juniors had the game,Centreville with only three subs on the bench, looking very tired. BobJohnson banged home Ingersoll’s sev­enth at 8.07 to complete the picture. Both goalies, (ionnor for Ingersolland Hume for the rural sextette,played- outstanding games, but theirteam-mates were patchy. Verdict—agood game in the last 30 minute* andthem Ingersoll Connors are better than them Centreville brothers oftheirs.

Nearly everybody in town seemedto be out for the “show”, includinghigh school students, let out by prin­cipal Brown for the occasion. Someof the trustees were there, too, in­ cluding Bill Sunter and HowardClark, who took a turn at the hoses,three of which were going at the same time, tossing * stream right acrossthe river.Of course, everybody driving along the highway, seeing the truck, thecrowd and three hoaes going at oncefigured the whole village was goingup in smoke.

THURSDAY, M^RCH 30, 1950 Buying Your Easter Seals Will Help Crippled Children To many of us Easter symbolizes a time when we think of self-denial. Apart from the religious ob­ servances that many make, it reminds us that the spirit of giving finds a reflection in the satisfac­ tion that comes from aiding some other person. In recent years in this province a means of giv­ ing much help through even a small contribution ha« been offered in the purchase of Easter seals to aid in crippled children’s work. It is an example of much good done by the combined efforts of many. Easter seals are offered by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children and the more than 150 ser­ vice clubs affiliated with the society in its province­ wide work. The seals finance the year-round pro­ gram which brings the finest medical and surgical skill to bear on the problems of children handicap­ ped by deformities. From a small beginning a few years ago, the big idea has become a big project. Children who might otherwise, because of financial inadequacy or re­ moteness from skilled physicians, never receive treatment are visited by the nurses of the Society, are brought to the attention of specialists who visit clinics throughout the province, have their condi­ tions diagnosed, and are provided with treatment. Local service clubs (the Kiwanis, in Ingersoll) form the field organizations with which theJ5ociety co-operates, and they sponsor children from their community areas. The sale of scalfe finances the flow of children to treatment centres and provides backing for the network of nurses who follow up the children, see they receive attention and help them become rehabilitated. Hundreds of children have been rescued from helplessness, have been treated and trained in trades. They have been made into self-reliant citi­ zens. But hundreds more must still be helped. Pur­ chases of Easter seals can make this possible. Buy yours today. v Too Much, Too Easily, Too Often Isn’t Good Policy For Children. Are parents of today overwhelming their children with kindness? It ha8 often been said that children nowadays get too much, too easily, too often, and the usual answer is that the parents want to see their child have everything that they missed as children. Yet did they miss anything? The var­ iety of things available for kiddies these days were unheard of 30 years ago, yet there were just as many happy children then, presumably, as there are now. Perhaps, in fact, there were more. All too often present-day children are given a new toy, are thrilled when they get it, and a few days later have forgotten all about it — will never use it again. Watch them playing when they think they are alone and you will find that their games don’t vary greatly from those you played at their age. In winter they still run out into the snow for a snow fight and in the summer they still like to get out into the open and make a camp. You'll probably be surprised to find, too, that neither of these games call for the use of modern toys — nor do the kiddies take their toys with them. Yet when they grq.w up they are so used to ask-* ing and receiving tHAt they, find it difficult to ad­ just themselves to the idea that this world of ours give nobody anything. You take out precisely what you put into it These days evary youngster leav­ ing school expects to jump directly into the presi­ dent’s chair: they aren’t prepared to realize thgt the only way to climb a ladder is to start at the bottom rung and climb up rung by rung to the top. Why is it? Could it be that their parents were too willing to give them everything, overlooking the fact that something you have worked hard to get means immeasurably more than something that was given you? Canada Gr^w On It, Let Private Enterprise Remain During the current outcry against the operating deficit of the Canadian National Railways, it was almost inevitable that someone should raise the question of nationalizing the Canadian Pacific or­ ganization and amalgamating the two into one sys­ tem. It was suggested recently by Senator George H. Ross, a Calgary lawyer. Alarmed, he said, at the way freight rates have been pyramiding in the West, he claims that such a move would save about 875,000,000. Why is it that a privately-owned railway system, using the same equipment —the same techniques — and operating over much the same territory, can show a profit while a governmentally operated rail­ road maintains alarming deficits? Would it be, pos­ sibly, a strong argument in favor of private enter­ prise, the very thing Senator George Ross proposes to kill? It would, it is true, be sensationalism to scream that the Senator is in agreement with the Social­ istic principles of nationalization, yet such a move has very obvious potentialities. The four British railways never seemed to hit serious trouble before they were nationalized, yet, since the government took over, there have been two increases in pas­ senger fares to meet rising costs. Besides, with one major enterprise brought under government control, the wedge would be there for future moves of a similar nature should future government* feel so inclined. Nationalization is no guarantee of better service. The Canadian Pacific was built on the mterpriM ot men with an ambi­ tion. Let it remain that way the way this country was founded. VERSCHOYLE Notes NOT on the Editor’s Pad Here, come and mt down for a minute. That's right, put your feet up. There, I’ll move mine over a little. You know me, don't you? I’m Alan Hav­ ard. Gee, it's nice to be able to talk to someone again; do you mind if the rest of the gang who work here come over to talk, too? You see, the boss and us we aren’t exactly on speaking terms these days. Seems to me to date back to last Thursday afternoon — just after we’d got the paper tucked away for another week — be­ cause when we all got back in the afternoon my desk was bare (I knew right away that something had happened, because I normally have to stand up to see who is talking to me). The only thing on it was a copy of the paper that had just gone to press and a note asking me if I would please read the paper and then pass it round. The boss — that’s Mr. Lea, of course — had drawn a let of circles so I guessed he wanted us to look at the print inside the circles. Right on the front page we managed to switch two lines so that the story told of Rev. J. M. Ward launching a son, Frank Fulton, — instead of a church soft- ball league. A few lines above it we had type­ writer trouble and the word recreation didn't come out the way it went in. We all did feel a bit sore about the boner we pulled while discussing William Stone 'Sons’ new pay-incentive plan. Somewhere near the end of the story we left out one word — and changed the meaning of the whole story. Quot­ ing Richard L. Hapgood, who made the survey and findings for the company, we wrote: “This is definitely a profit-sharing plan . . "It was the word NOT that caused all the trouble, because the plan is most decidedly NOT a profit-sharing one. Mr. Leigh, all this time, was sitting silently lost in a cloud of blue smoke from which periodic snat­ ches of words shot out We contrived to spell the late Bruce Charlton’s name wrongly, putting in an ‘e’ where there should not be one. Then, right beside it, in the next col­ umn we had our old friend Walter Leaper being attended by a MRS. F. Frankish. That should have been Mr. Frankish. The boss says please to apologize to Mr. Frankish. Then there was a word wrong in an editorial. Apparently we couldn’t spell apparently, if you see what we mean. But it was on the Thamesford page we really went to-town. In fact (only don’t let the boss know I said it) it’s my opinion we all went to town and nobody stayed to look after the paper. Mrs. V. Wallace, said a head, was hostess for TEN — of course, it should have read TEA. In the same story a capital *V’ somehow slipped into Mrs. Calder's name. Our choice one, plough, with all this talk of liquor floating around, was in the church column. There we spoke of “mominsh wor­ ship.’’ Ah, m e....................... Nine mistakes in one paper, said Mr. Le, he said some more too, but we were brought up gentle­ men so we can’t repeat it. Of course, he might be speaking to us today if Friday morning Stan Elliott hadn’t called up to say there were three mis­ takes in his advertisement. I'm just afraid the boss lost his temper after that. Actually Mr. Lea has spoken to some of us once this week. Three of us went to ask him for a raise. It wasn’t that he only said one word, it was the way he screamed and held his head that made us wonder if perhaps he wasn’t feeling too well. Maybe things will get back to normal soon, it’s so quiet around here these days. (ED’S NOTE — My name, Havard, iB spelt LEE, remember? Tomorrow you go back to sweeping floors.

The top dressers were picked at the CanadianMen’s Apparel Fair in Toronto and we didn’t startto get annoyed until after the selections were made and we received a list of the judging points. “It waspointed out*’ says a bulletin from the association,“that in no case was the selection made becausjdlthe candidate was a fashion plate, but rather on the basis that the wearer chose his clothes with dis­tinction and to suit the occasion*’. And it concludes“They made their habits of dress do a good job ofpublic relations and at the same time dressed for comfort.”Who fills that category better than the editor him­self? He is no fashion plate . , we’re not sure justhow one goes* about ehoosmg clothes with distinction, but if it means taking time and having the salesclerk tearing his .hair out, just ask any of thelocal clothing storey . . ; and as for dressing to suit the occasion, we wear a business suit in the daytime•nd pyjamas at night, which givcB adequate cover­age to that. Dressing for comfort clinches it, forwe always work with our coat off, wear a tie onlywhen the spirit moves us and use any other shortcuts to comfort which come to mind.Perhaps it’s the early bird who gets it, so we are entering our names right now for next year’s con­test.

Ingersoll 449J11 Sljantesfnrb Sributte— MISS REAVA PATTERSON, CORRESPONDENT ToUplumrIngersoll 131 Thamesford, Ontario, Thursday, March 30,1950 NEED FIRE TRUCK, BUT L O O K FU RTHE R-TRUSTEE S Rather See Taxes Go Up Than House, One Man Says A public meeting held in thePublic School Friday gave the vill­age Trustees the go-ahead in their enquiries into fire fighting equip­ment for Thamesford. Moved byJohn Oliver and seconded by TedNancekrrell, the meeting rewived to let the trustees go ahead andgather information on more typesof equipment and then call anothermeeting. The final decision, in any cut, will be left to the public at avote.With J. H. Clark, clerk of thetrustees’ board, in the chair, twospeakers. Ralph ’-------J Marshall’sand Jack Blair, . .—,, —plained the requirements to’ setThamesford op with a fire force-<Mr. Clark spoke first saying, "Thematter of fire protection has alwayscropped up after a fire and ha* been argued pro and con—then droppeduntil the next fire. Thamesford isvery fortunate in that no humanlife has ever been lost in a fire buthad last Sunday’s fire been in aresidence and some mother or childkilled, this village would be knock­ ing its head against a wall for nothaving protection."He gave the figures that had beengiven them for the equipment— the very latest of its kind th*t hadbeen demonstrated in the afternoon,explaining that they were ceilingfigures and could be pared consid- : erably for Thamesford’s needs. The <truck and equipment would cost ;>12,000 and a building >3,500. i With carrying charges of a thirdthis would mean a total of >20,- i666 to be raised over a period of 1 fifteen years, or >1,397 to be raised (annually. A 6 mill rate on lastyear’s assessment would bring in * __r.. Leonard, (Fire Department, London),(Woodstock), ex­ 31,368.But, he explained, governmentgrants would bring this figure down substantially. “We would receive,”ho said, “a grant of 10% immedi­ately we purchased the equipment and as soon as the Fire Marshallwas satisfied with the volunteersand their knowledge of the equip­ ment we would get a further 26%.We also get 26% of the building, cost, leaving us a total of >13,899 or >929 annually to raise. 4 millson an assessment of >1,400 wouldraise >913. This would mean >6.60to the taxpayer each year. This, surely, is not prohibitive for fireprotection.”Jack Blair, representative of the Woodstock firm, who make the firetrucks, said that last year alone 28communities took advantage of the grants to set up their own fire de­partment He told the meeting thatthe truck demonstrated, with atank, was the best available. To-, ronto,, using such equipment fought1,408 fires last year without havingto hook up to a hydrant London fought 95% of its fires in the sameway. A 400 gallon tank at 100 lb. ,pressure—which was the one dem­ onstrated, would last 40 minutes.“You do not need a paid man torun your fire department Mr. Blairsaid, but get a few garage mechan­ics on the force if you can. theymake splendid drivers and pumpoperators. You can use a siren alarm to summon them whenneeded.”"Have you any figures on therevenues other municipalities getfrom giving protection?” askedGeorge Tilson.“It varies," explained Mr. Blair, “a dollar a head for everyone you Albert Quait Co. Coal and Oil - Automatic Heating Authorized Dealer For FAIRBANKS - MORSE STOKERS AND OIL BURNERS SHELL OIL PRODUCTS <— Distributor For — Oakwood Furnaces and Heating Equipment Complete Service on All Makes of Automatic Heating Equipment We service the entire territory from London to Woodstock with automatic delivery of furnace and stove oils andall petroleum products, THAMESFORD - ONTARIO protect is a fsir figure. And ofcourse you get a government grantof 26% on your operating costs.' “What system would you adviseto determine where a fire was whenthe alarm is turned in?” asked Vic Wallace.“You could put a button or twofrom points in the village to thesiren and ask tire person who turns in the alarm to stay there.”George Hogg wanted to know,, “what is the action and advantages I of the ‘fog* nosale you were dem-i onstrating?”"The idea of the fog nozzles," said Mr. Blair, is to take water and: break it up into small particles sothat it turns to steam when it hits heat. This nullifies the oxygen andsmothers the flames. You can fight any type of fire with it and it saveswater damage in property. It is be­coming very popular with fire de­ partments all over Canada.”"What about the availability ofwater?” asked Jim McFarlane, “How would that machine operateaway from the river?"We tried it at Tillson burg,” said Mr. Blair, “when they laid 2000feet of hose. We built up 400 lbs.pressure and had a nozzle pressure of 60 lbs. which is well above whatis needed for most fires. A portable gasoline pump to drive water intothe tank is included in the >12,000cost."What about freezing weather, have you found any troubles,”asked Vic Wallace.“No, very little. But you should have some heat in the fire hall."Ralph Leonard, an old Thames-J ford man, now with the Fire Mar- • shell’s Department in London, said,> “The majority of cases of fires aredue to carelessness. A big loss in a s village puts a hardship on the wholet community. The more equipment1 you have in the country, the better are your, chances of cutting down1 losses.“You would have to work throughyour township council for the deben­ture issue, but you set up your own fire area and recommend to thecouncil the appointment of a firechief. For a village of this size we lay down th$t you must have a 150gallon pump and in a larger area a420 gallon pump with at least 300gallons of water in both instances.We will send down instructors.”Queried Mr. McFarlane, “Theequipment must be approved by your department before we get thegrants? ” “Yes, it must.”“We are 12 miles from Londonand 6 from Ingersoll,” continuedMr. McFarlane, “so if we could make a contract with either ofthose places wouldn’t it be just as satisfactory?"“Yes,” smiled Mr. Leonard, ifyou don’t mind losing a building ortwo. You must get a fire in the first few minutes if you are going to beat it."Fred Dennison asked Mr. Clark, "If a man is assessed on both buil­dings and land will he have to payfor fire protection on his land as well or just on the buildings?"“I think that if you have a voteon the question, whatever the two- thirds majority says, goes," saidMr. Leonard.“If you have grasslands that canfire and endanger your buildings, you would want the firemen to fightthat fire, wouldn't you" said Mr. Blair, “so you should pay."Final comment was made by AlWaters, who said, “I would rather • see my assessment go up, gentle­men, than my home.” Red Cross Drive On In Thamesford Give Generously The Red Cross drive in Thames­ford ig now under way.

Who arechurch Monday night with members more Canadian than the exiled Can-of the Woodstock and Ingersoll clubs adian? They are the good seeds plan­ attending the party. President Vic teH in the fertile soil.”Wallace presided over the affair at which A. C. “Curly" Hunter, regionaldirector, was guest speaker.A special feature waB a cake bear­ ing five candles, and Bill Carrothers,as first president of the Thamesfordclub, was given the honor of officiat­ ing over the candle-lighting and blow­ing-out.At the head table were Ed Bennett, immediate past president of theWoodstock group; Gordon Hogg, dis­trict governor, Mr. Hunter, president Vic, Alf Boniface, president of theIngersoll club, Dennig Juniper, Wood-stock president, and Rev. Stanley Johnson, who, with Grace, officiallygot the birthday party under way.The Woodstock gang entered in great style, several members carry­ing in Chesco Nfululin, of Beachville,captain of their iftinor hockey team which Saturday night won the Ban­tam B Ontario hockey championship.Young Chesco, who goes to school in Ingersoll, carried the trophy whichthey won. George Clifton, of Inger­soll, claimed Chesco learned all his hockey in Ingersoll, therefore Inger­soll should get some credit PresidentVic said in Thamesford they had a soft spot for Ingersoll, particularlywhen Ingersoll men did so much in.helping organize the Thamesford Y’s Men’s club.President Alf thanked Thamesford for the kind invitation to the celebra­tion, then Jimmy Miller, Harold Cat­ling and Barry Walker, three mem­ bers of Ingersoll’s boys and girlsband, did a couple of numbers accom­panied at the piano by Gerry Wils- don, of Woodstock. Ted Nftncekivellmentioned that the club was sponsor­ing a play shortly, and then Ed Byer- nrnn led in a sing-song. President Vicurged the members to save theirmoney for the international conven­ tion in Mexico City this summer, andapparently several Thamesford mem-berg hope to make the trip. Gordon Hogg introduced the spea­ker, who commented on the delight­ ful supper prepared and served by theW.A. Mr. Hunter noted that GordonHogg had done "a terrific job” inhis Y’s Men’s office. Mr. Hunter said Y’s Men, and Canadians generally,"are the rayB of light in a dark world tonight", “we will—we must do ourbest to help all those less fortunatethan ourselves. We can take light tothe dark places—we can prevent Com­ munism here if we are a little betterinternationalists, a little better nat­ionalists, and we can be those only if we are a little better locajists. Ifwe can set our local and nationalhouses in order, we can move forward in the international field.”Mr. Hunter, bom in Scotland, isnow a Canadian, and he said he wasextremely proud of the fact He felt too many Canadians took their citi­zenship and rights too much for gran­ted, but he said no member of his family would ever neglect the ballotbox. Mr. Hunter said Canada was"a sleeping giant, not fully awaken­ ed”. He thought Canadians were tooprone to hide their own light undera bushel, too critical of themselves,and too prone to defer In favor of the U.S. and the U.K. The speaker hopedthere would be one day a truly Can­adian flag.Mr. Hunter said there waB too much undue wailing over “the cream”of gOnndians going to the States andelsewhere . to greener field*.

U m During the recent war years theRed Cross Society never appealedfor funds in vain. Neither did it ever ask for voluntary help for itsmany faceted services without agenerous and ready re^»0H from men and women alike. What is itabout war that prompts the quickgiving of time, service and money,while poor Peace pleads for them in vain or garners them slowly and inshort measure?

What prodigies of labor they per­ formed. What thousands of sweat­ers and socks, mitts and caps, werepiled up week by week. What mil­ lions of Articles of comfort leftbusy hands for the ever-emptyingwarehouses of the Society. Unre­ corded millions of stitches were sewninto hospital garments and clothingfor the wretched victims of bomb-gutted houses. How many weary,hours of standing in canteen andrailway station to wait on outgoingor incoming service men could those women record. Whoever saw thempatiently standing to fill Pri&oner-ofWar food boxes that endlessly trailed along the conveyor beltwithout failing to appreciate thetiring work done selflessly for menthey never knew? What organization, what laborwent into every field of activity in those days. Money poured in;strength, hope and energy and lov­ing kindness flowed out, all in the name of the Red Cross. But the endof war does not mean the end of thework of the organization. It still must serve. It still needs money.All suffering doesn’t end with thefiring of the last shot or the deathof the last soldier. War has thenasty habit of leaving its miserabledebris strewn -behind; cities laid low, victims lingering in military andcivilian hospitals, innocent childrenwandering houseless, foodless, par­entless, through ravaged countries. Still famine, fire and flood, earth­quake and pestilence call from all ends of the earth to implore ourhelp. The Red Cross answers with­out hesitation, but such service de­pends on the generous giving of life’s more favoured people.Hospitals must be established infar away places; blood-banks must continue to be built up; childrenmust be taught to swim safely andto save lives, too. All worthy types of service surely, but all call formuch money if they are to be per­formed adequately. And always the organization must be maintained,ready at a moment’s notice, if theawful need ever again arises, toswing into action; to gather thewilling once more around the perm­anent nucleus and continue its errand of mercy. The sanity and Christian charitythat admit of no barrier of colour, creed or national bias between manand his brother in distress, are in­herent in the spirit of the Order, whose shining red cross is the em­blem. Nobly it carries on its work,wherever distressful man is to be found. In .war it is the leaven ofhope in a mad world, the one firmstrand in a fraying universalthrong, that reserves the right tosay, “I am of no nation; my eyesare blind to colour; my ears deaf to the dissonant cry of warring creeds.I am Mercy. I am Service. I call allmen brother, I am the voice of Him whose Cross I carry. I am the RedCross,” Picton Surveys New Course For Harold’s Speed Attempt Special to The Tribune Picton—Although two feet of ice cover .waters of Picton Bay on whichmany speedboat records have beenestbalished in the last few years, and while speedboating is far fromthe minds of citizens in this localeof ice and snow, ardent members of Prince Edward Yacht Club havebeen busily at work.During the past week-ends when most of us were sitting snugly be­side our stoves and fire-places, afew members under the direction of Commodore Frank Harris and F. W.Jones, Civil Engineer, ventured outon the ice to survey the official courses for 1950 boating season.Location of the 2 mile oval,claimed by outstanding drivers to be the best speedboat course on theNorth American continent is stillunchanged. Two new mile courses have been surveyed. With the 135and 225 Class reaching speeds ofnearly 100 miles an hour or better,it was necessary to move the mileon the Chuckery Hill side of thebay down so as to run from Arthur Goodwin's camp to the ClarenceJones camp.The mile course that Harold Wil­ son and his sleek Miss Canada IV travelled over last year at a speedof 138.6 m.p.h. to come within afraction of a second of breaking the world's speedboat record, set by SirMalcolm Campbell in 1939, has beenmoved to a new location nearer toPicton. The course starts at Bolton’sCove and runs parallel to the HighShore down off the property of Gordon Valleau, Picton IL 6.This brings the course into moresheltered waters of the bay and should provide smoother water forworld record attempts. It is expectedthat Harold Wilson will make anonslaught on the world’s speed record here sometime, in June. What are the new books at the library?

Four main operations have been usedwith extremely favorable results atthe Experimental Station, Lethbridge,Alta., say* W. E„ Torfason. Frequent mowing of the lawn isnecessary in spring and early sum­mer when the lawn is growing rap­idly, but as growth slows down in dryweather and in autumn mowing canbe reduced. If the lawn is mowed often enough, clippings need not begathered as they will settle and forma light mulch around the grass crowns, later they break down to addorganic matter to the soil. The lawnshould go into the winter with a goodprotective covering of grass. Proper watering of lawns is mostimportant and brings stronger, deep­ er rooted turf. Light sprinkling, asdone by most home owners, is of littleuse as only the upper layer of soilis moistened and the growth of sur­ face feeding roots is stimulated. Inperiods when the lawn is not water­ed, this layer -becomes dry and the plants suffer. It is far better to waterless frequently, but to'give the soila thorough soaking on each occasion.The plants then are not dependent on surface moisture and will With­stand the hot sun and dry weather.Fertility is often overlooked. Fer­ tility can be maintained by applica­tions of well rotted barnyard manure,or commercial fertilizers, as top dres­sings. Manure dressing has been usedwith good success in the past but isgradually being displaced by commer­cial fertilizers. Manure is applied late in the fall, and is raked into theturf or removed in the spring. Com­mercial fertilizers are usually appl­ied in the spring of the year but may be applied in the autumn. The cor­rect mixture of commercial fertiliserwill vary from one area to another, but since nitrogen promotes vegeta­tive growth, a high nitrogen fertilizeris suggested.Weeds must be controlled in orderto have a lawn in good appearance.In new lawns, weeds should not bepermitted to go to seed. This can bedone by frequent mowings. A good vigorous turf, obtained by properwatering and fertilization, wiM serve,to check weed growth. In lawns which ygre-well established perennialweedr such as dandelions and plan­tain are often troublesome. Thesemay be controlled by spraying with 2,4-D at rates and concentrationsprescribed by the manufacturers.Spraying is most effective in thespring when the weeds are in theirmost vigorous stage of growth. MRS. E. J. CHISHOLM HOSTESS TO LADIES . The Evening Group of St, Paul'sPresbyterian Church met at thehome of Mrs. E. J. Chisholm . The meeting was in charge of the presi­dent, Mrs. Alex.

Ingereoll, Ontario, Thursday* March 30, 1950 How Deep Is the Ocean Between U.S. and Canada? Mr. Editor to write an article eonumlng theattraction* sad beauty of Fioiida.Many others who have been South are more capable and qualified thanI am to fulfill thi* task. There areso many interesting and delight­ ful features to write about, one'may not prove wearisome in men­tioning a few of them. What makesFlorida so attractive, is first of all, it* glorious climate. Figurativelyspeaking, climate is a country's per­ sonality. Without wishing to appearHippant, I shall tell you a story sorelated to me by a local clergyman.He said a parson was addressing his congregation and asked all whowould like to go to heaven to standup. No one moved. Well, went onthe minister, all who would like to go to hell stand up- All remained seat­ed. "This is peculiar," stated the speaker, "no one wants to go to heaven* no one wants to go to thatother place* I can’t understand it.A man in the body of the church arose and said, “parson, I can ex­plain this. The folks in Florida areso satisfied with the climate here,they don’t want to go anywhere else just now.”When inclement weather prevails in the Northern States and Canada,the cities, town* and hamlets on theAtlantic coast and Gulf of Mexicoare very alluring. The bathing beaches, the attractive public parkswith stately palms and gorgeous flowers along inland lakes create* fairy land of restful beauty. Alongwith this partially, man-made beau­ ty, the invigorating ocean breezesprovide a charm, one'must see andenjoy to appreciate. At Miami and St. Petersburg, on the highways, in the other cities and towns and vi -lages. everywhere, you see the mil­lions who come each winter for rtstand health and entertainment For those who cannot be accommodatedat the magnificent hotels, hundreds of miles of cabin* or motels as someare known, provide comfortable and cosy rest for the tourist.At St. Petersburg I met Mr.William Cragg. He is a practical joker, a jolly gentleman. I inquiredfor Mr. Wilson. “Yotf'won’t be able to see Ernie," Bill told me, “he isconfined to his home and he won t be out until he finishes ironing hisshirt.” Mr. Cragg told- me the news of his coming south arrived before he did. The streets were crowdedwith people and the decorations pri­vate and public were on an elaborate To those coming for the first time, the orange and grapefruit groves,the banana trees, the cocoanutpalms, pineapples in various stages of growth and the delicious Florida .mullberries are so new to the Nor­thern eye, one never tires of a daily visit to have another look.Those who are interested in sight*of unusual interest, should visit Sil" ver Springs. Take a trip in glassbottomed boats and see fish of vari­ous sizes, Riant turtles and other marine life to a great depth.A visit to the Florida wild animaland reptile ranch near St Peters­ burg, is informative. There you findalligators, crocodiles, snakes, rare and beautiful birds, monkeys, and other wild animals. "W*at you maa* by 50-50?” “Why one ho* and one rabbit” If I go South again Im going toestablish a school of information concerning thi* commonwealth AMan asked me if we had coca-colaup thsre. Another wanted to know if *• had highways. Some would like to know how much taxes wehave to pay to England. A woman, the Lord bless her, enquired if I ever tasted maple syrup or honeyup in Canada. A coIorod gentleman, wishing to increase his education,wanted to know how big the oceanwa* between Canada and the Uni­ted States. Another man of pretend­ ed education, was disgusted with theignorance of hi* people. “Why, he said, some folk* here, don’t know that Canada is one- third the sizeof the States. One might go on indefinitely and tell of historical spots of pleasinginterest, describe oriental gardensof special charm, tell a of floating gardens formed of matted roots andmud, from which tourists fish forbass and catch ’em. Then there are numerous spots, such a* Sanland* springs, where you find grandswimming, picnicking, jungle trails, tropical palms and flower gardens ofremarkable beauty. Deep sea fishing, whether on the Gulf of Mexico at Tampa, or St Petersburg, or on the Atlantic coastsupplies sport of an exciting nature. There may be caught fish of smallervarieties or those monsters of thesea which provide a thrill for life. I have just skimmed over a few ofthe hundreds of unusual sights tobe seen. Little has been said about the bathing beaches. They dot theshores on both coasts from Jackson­ ville to Miami, a distance over four hundred miles. These are charmingspots. There you see youth and beauty, the plump and the lean,the religious and the sinner, the ath­lete and those of creaky joints, where marriage and divorce walkhand in hand, and where the cranky,jealous hubby annoys his cute, flirt­ ing adorable wife.Mr. Editor: This letter varies.... — -~ ----- , -—-'from the readable to the question- ’How much hoss meat yoji able. Far away fields look greenr“50-50,” was the answer, but there is no country so lovely THE MIXING BOWL Hallospaghetti Homemakers I Macaroni,and noodles are triplets; Gordon Warden saw some beauty ti>ota, and enjoyed the sunshine, butthink* It’* a good idea to carry alonga map of Ontario to cheer you up, while travelling through the desolate paru of the south.Pete Bowman was most emphaticin his contention, that, there aremore beautiful women in Ingersoll than in all Florida.. Fred Garlick, was critical of theeata, said the coffee was so ding-busted hot, he could scarcely drink it out of his saucer.Reg Henley is a booster for theSunshine State, and is hopeful that the United States will come intoCanada as another province and doaway with the pesky exchange on Canadian dollars.At the parrot jungle you mayhear plenty of chatter, from ma­caws, cockatoos, parrots and flam­ ingos in a jungle setting.The home of Thomas Edisonattracts many thousands. To seethese besutiful grounds and magni­ ficent home a fee of one dollar is charged. For two dollars at Marinestudios, you may look through port­holes in two giant tanks and see sharks, porpoises, giant turtles andtropical fish in an ocean floor set­ting. Feeding is most exciting with porpoises leaping from the water. You may see a monkey junglewhere wild Asiatic monkeys roam free while visitors watch from a caged path.At circus winter quarters RinglingBro*, and Barnum and Bailey’s big shows are quartered from mid-No- vember until end of Marsh- Everyday visitors are entertained with a trained animal display.I went to a theatre. A couple ofcomedians of the burned cork var­iety were entertaining. Sam said: "Mose,' you serves rabbit sandwichdon’t ye?” "Boy, I sure does," ans­wered Mose. “Well Mose, I hear you use hoss meat in dem sandwich,is dat right?" “Dat’s right”, said Mose. *’f’“ ‘ 'use Mose?, Uy- There ara more numbers ofeach group but ask your Italianfriend* to name thaw. Macaroni •nd spaghetti differ mostly in formwhile noodles have eggs added tothe mix.Paste is always cooked in a large amount of briskly boiling water ina deep saucepan. It should be stirr­ed occasionally with a long-handled fork to prevent it from sticking.Try to break with a fork—the pasteshould be tender in about 20 min­ utes. Now drain In a colander andrinse quickly with a little cold waterthen it’a ready for the sauce.The Italian folk, who are mosters in the preparation of this kind ofdish, never serve a white glueysauce. Tomatoes are the base of many dressings for spaghetti and areal expert uses a sliver of garlic.Cheese is almost a necessity, espec­ ially nippy cheese, coarsely grated.Chopped cooked meat or dams may be added along with some seasoning such as parsley, chives, mushrooms, onion top* and tomato paste. Tosome folk, however, there is nothingbetter than macaroni and spaghetti drenched in butter and cheese. Wesuggest one thing more—-bits of chives. For quantities, see recipes.

Bell, the evangelistic superintend­ent, presided for the devotions, which began with the theme songand a gospel hymn and prayer byMrs. J. Miller. Mrs. B. Acton read a portion of Scripture and chose asher text, “things work together forgood, to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose." She told of the need offaith to accept that truth. She re­lated some of the experiences of St Paul, of Fanny Crosby and ofothers to prove that the statementwas surely true. She urged membersto have greater faith, to have the courage of their convictions and tospend more time In prayer.Mr*. Harry* Atwood sang, “In the Garden”, with Mrs. C. Beynon asher accompanist. Miss Jennie McKayled in prayer.

Lincoln, President of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, on the subject of Life insurance. The tremendous role that Life insurance plays in the national economy, and the interesting institutional materia] developed during the discussion, are so important that a motion picture has been made of this interview. This film will be given wide distribution in line with Metropolitan’s "Open Book” policy. Naturally, in reply to questions from the editors, Mr. Lincoln made many references to'Metropolitan’s achieve­ ments in .1949, In fact, the interview developed the information that is customarily included in the Annual Report to Policyholders. Accordingly, a complete transcript has been printed as the Company’s Report for 1949. Here are some of the highlights of that report: —“Metropolitan . . . paid about $769,000,000 (to bene­ ficiaries and policyholders last year) . . . and I might add further that . . . (this includes) $502,000,000 to living policyholders.” —"For our 33,000.000 policyholders in the United States and Canada, the total Life insurance in force in the Metropolitan at the end of last year was almost $42,000,000,000 — an increase of 4 percent over the preceding year.” j —"Metropolitan’s assets totaled $9,700,000,000, an in­ crease of about 6 percent over the figure for 1948.” ( —“Through the combined efforts of the many health organizations, the average expectation of life at birth has improved 18 years since 1900. At that time it was about 49 years —■_ while right now it is about 67.” —"Expenses for the 1 Jfe insurance companies have gone up the same as for everybody else. For example, in the Metropolitan last year they increased about 4 percent ... insurance in force in Metropolitan has increased about 80 percent since 1939, whereas operating expenses have increased only 71 percent.” —"In 1949, Metropolitan . . . paid $164,000,000 in divi­ dends to policyholders — the largest such amount in the Company’s history. Dividends payable to policyholders in 1950 will be somewhatlarger in the aggregate than 1949.” —"Dividends would Be substantially higher were it not for the low interest returns which have prevailed through­ out the United States and Canada. For example, last year the net interest earned on Metropolitan assets was 3.07 percent, compared with 3.03 in 1948, and with 5.18 in 1929.” Metropolitan’s Annual Report to Policyholders for 1949 will be sent to anyone on request. In addition, copies of the film may be borrowed for showing by local business, civic, or other groups in which Metropolitan policy- holders are interested. Grant‘SmUlMid: “I don’t like the South.

Payments to Policyholders and Beneficiaries Metropolitan paid in 1949 to its Canadian policy- holders and their beneficiaries $41,286,966 in death claims, matured endowments, dividends and other pay­ ments. Of this, 69% was paid to living policyholders. The total amount the Metropolitan has paid to Canadians since it entered Canada in 1872, plus the amount now invested in Canada,exceeds the total premiums received fromCanadians by more than $364,000,000. Life Insurance in Force In 1949, Canadians bought $208,278,971 of new Lifeinsurance protection in the Metropolitan, bringingthe total of the Company’s Life insurance in force inCanada to $2,356,103,078 at the year-end. Thisamount is made up of 57% Ordinary, 29% Industrialand 14% Group. Total Investments In Canada Metropolitan’s total investments in Canada amount­ed to $557,336,716 at the end of 1949.

I . —Courtesy London Free Press Over 25,000 Were Phone-Less Because of Valentine Storm "Public Relations” Necessary To the Enjoyment of Life Bell Telephone Co.' By D. S. Hutchison Nature sent a nasty Valentine toWestern Ontario when a sleet stormswept across the area and caused the , worst damage to telephone communi­cations in 28 years.First came the sleet, piling up on open wire, and then hurricane windsand falling branches from trees pro­ved to be the final blows that brought poles tumbling by the thousands, car- ;rying with them a tangle of wiresand crossarms. At one time, there were almost 25,000 subscribers with­out service in the Western Divisionand that part of the Central Divi­sion which was on the fringe of thestorm.The daily count of poles broken orleaning was almost impossible to cal­ culate. As each report came in show­ing the number, it was promptly sup­erseded by another reporting further stretches of open wire had collapsed.A week after the storm, an approxi­mate count of 2,700 poles broken and almost 2,000 pulled out or leaning,revealed a partial picture of the wide­spread damage. Exchanges Isolated Plant people swung into action al­most before the storm had abated, and before three days had passed, aforce of almost 1,000 wa8 working inthe field, effecting temporary repairs. On February 16, 14 Bell Telephoneexchanges and 13 exchanges operatedby connecting companies were repor­ ted isolated from outside communica­tion. In many communities hydrofailure also occurred, leaving citi­ zens completely without power for aslong as 24 hours, adding to the gen­eral chaos. At some points whdre hy­ dro lines had fallen and were stillenergized, telephone men had to waituntil they were cleared before tack­ling the communications lines. Forceg .Mobilised Before the week’s end, extra crewsof linemen and repairmen were rush­ed from Toronto and another despat­ched from Eastern area to bolster the Western Ontario crews. Central Div­ision also contributed seven crews ■comprising 35 men to the restoration project. London, Chatham and Brant­ford were the three cities most sev­erely damaged as far as rural and long distance circuits were concerned.By dint of dawn-to-dusk activity inthe field, service was restored to 19,- 700 subscribers within seven daysafter the storm, and within eight daysall the previously isolated communi­ties had been brought into contactthrough temporary placement of em­ergency circuits.History seemed to be taking a hand between Brantford and Paris, sceneof Alexander Graham Bell’s famedlong distance call in 1876, where he demonstrated his invention with suchnotable success over the eight-miledistance separating the two pommun-1 ities. But with long distance circuitsout between Paris and Brantford,emergency radio telephone equipment housed in twin trailers was set upjust outside Brantford and on the golfcourse near Paris to bridge the gap by radio. The g^at inventor wouldhave been entranced to see this mostmodern telephone technique in action, bridging land lines ’ by radio relay over the very area that he himselfknew so well. Work for Weeks A few days after the storm, a tripto the London and Brantford dist­ricts revealed splintered and fallen poles ^th wires looped in fantasticshapes around the crossarms andwayside fences. Three or four daysof mild weather after the storm werefollowed by a quick drop to sub-zerotemperatures, and crew8 of parka­clad men aloft on poles and digging post holes were a common sight topassing motorists. The importantwork of getting temporary service in had to be finished first before thecrews could tackle the longer job ofmaking permanent repairs to the plant, a task which was expected totake some weeks.Guiding all this activity were con­ trol points back in the district officeswhere maps were hurriedly assemb­led and supervisory forces brought to­ gether, much in the same manner asan operations centre during wartime.Veteran linemen, drawing on a long memory of past storms,, describedthis one as one of the worst on whichthey had ever been called out.As a result of the storm, the num­ber of telephone calls in many centreswas far more than on a normal day.In Chatham, a city of some 20,000 people, there was an all-time recordof 62,000 calls on February 14 andthis story wa8 repeated in many other centres where telephone ser­vice was not cut off by the storm. Making up definitions of “Public Relations” seems to be the favorite hobby of people in the public relations business. There are scores of them, ranging from a short slogan to a bill of rights with many paragraphs. However, they all boil down to a few wards well known to every literate person, words which, if put into un­ iversal practice, would change the face of the world. Public relations is about nine- tenths doing and one-tenth talking,though its philosophy is made up ofmany ingredients: sociology, econom­ ics, psychology, communications andother knowledges. All these shouldcombine to form a system of human understanding. Alas! although menhave developed sciences which enablethem to accomplish many great achie­vements, they have not yet found thecatalyst that will fuse these know­ledges into a science of human re­lations. Except for belligerent people, pub­lic relations is necessary to enjoy­ment of life. Xenophon, who was a Greek general and an historian ofaround 400 B.C., remarked sagelythat it is far easier to march up a steep hill without fighting than alonga level road with enemies on bothsides. An environment made up of good friends is beyond price. As Lin­ coln put it: the best way to destroy enemies is to make them your friends. Our society is civilized, we like to think. But civilization is a very re­ cent phenomenon in human history.Arnold J. Toynbee remarks in hisStudy of History that the earliest civilization originated no more than6,000 years ago.For all practical purposes, the mat­ erial of human nature within our civ­ilization is the same as that withwhich the Stone Age men and women had to work. Our environment is dif­ferent, but basically we are primitivepeople in a modern world. It is dan­gerous, as well as advantageous, to be heirs of all the past insofar as mat­erial things are concerned, and to carry with us still the urges and im­pulses of ancient days.There are three things we can do with our instincts in trying to con­form to the requirments of civiliza­tion: we may follow our primal im­pulses, we may deny their existence, or we may use them for ends whichare in harmony with our most ardent wishes.The third is, of course, desirable. Itis an outcome of self-control.

Only varieties of good qualityand of high yielding ability, andwhich possess the most satisfactory resistance to disease and insect pestsare recommenced. Purity means freedom from grainsof other varieties and from otherkinds of grain. Better yielding var­ieties will outyield poor yielding types by several bushels per acre.The inclusion with the seed of some poorer yielding types will naturallylower the yield. Grades may be low­ered from mixtures of late and earlymaturing types by producing both over-ripe and immature or greenishkernels; in addition considerable los­ses may result from the shattering I of the over-ripe kernels. Uniform rip­ening is especially important todaywhen the combine is used almost ex­ clusively to harvest cereal crops..Freedom from weed oeeds needs■ little comment. Weeds bring extra , cost anjl labour and are the chiefI means by which hard-to-control per-■ ennial weeds get established on afarm.•• Germination is important becausea good crop is largely dependent up­on healthy plants. Such factors asfrost, immaturity, heating, weather­ing and disease, tend to weaken or destroy the germination of grainseeds.Where wireworms or root rots aretroublesome,' it is important that the grain germinates and grow8 quicklyand vigorously. Diseased seed tendsto weaken germination by killing the seedlings or weakening them so thatthey fail to grow into normal plants.Planting diseased seed practically en­ sures the perpetuation of the disease;thi is especially true of the smuts.To get a start with good seed, it is necessary to buy only a few bushelsot Regisitered or Certified seed andincrease it on a good clean summer-fallowl If care is taken when seedingand harvesting to prevent mixtures,these few bushels may be increased into a source of reliable seed for theentire farm.
