WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1932 THE FI.ESHERTON ADVANCE THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Published on CoUingr^ood street, Plesherton, Wednesday of each week. Circulation over 1000, Price in Canada $2.00 per year, when paid in advance $1.50. In p«ui in advance |2.00. U. S. A. I2.&0 per year, when W. H. THl'RSTOX, F. J. THURSTON, - â-  - Editor Assoc. Editor A m:\v marvix A younsT man over at Mildniay i? said to have discovered a niethoil ot transmittiPK power throuRli tho aii without wires, and claims to have done so on .si'Voial occasions over dis- tances up to eifrht miles. Demon- strations have been conducted before expert*, wlui believe that the young man has hit upon sonietliing that will rcvolulionir.o our electric and power systems and make it necessary to Bcrap millions of dollars worth oi public property. He says the nev< method of .supplyinc jwwer is quite Sfs siniplf as the radio. This amazin;; .statement will let loose a lot of conjecture a.s to what the result of the new discovery will mean to civilization. Its potentiali- tifs are so great that it may work a greater revolution than did electric li>:htinR or the telephone. Within the past fifteen years we have heard whispers that such a discovery was well within the possibilities, but of more recent years these rumors have lain dormant until the Mildmay youtli has revised them. If the young man is .successful in hi.s (luesl this old world will, we have no doubt, be at tlic threshold of a new era that w.i; cast into the shade all that ha.s gone before. Providing the invention fulfills its promise The Advance would be pleas- ed to see the Dominion Government take over the patents and instal it as a public utility, pos.sibly combined with hydro. However, the discovery is not yet in a definite condition where its utility can be discus.sed, and until it is we can only wait and hope. EDITORIAL NOTES We are soon to have a redistribution of seats for both the Dominion Hou.se and the Ontario Legislature and very many people think the time is oppor- tune to save money by cutting down he number of representatives. All nght ; let the legislators begin with I the big cities; they are compact; there is no difficulty in members keeping in touch with their constituents; and three or four good men will be of more value to these urban constituencies than a dozen nondescript members, who, with a few exceptions, are con- tented to draw the big indemnities and, with their women folk, attend the tea parties. • * • Meaford ratepayers find it impos- sible to find enough public spirited citizens to serve as Councillors and Mayor. Evidently nobody over in Meaford would have sufficient time during the fishing season to attend to affairs of state. • • • The Advance would like to give the young man who claims to have dis- covered wireless power a little ad- vice. Great care should be exercised that he does not visit the United States during the Christmas holidays or until he secures his patents, other- wise he might be claimed as an .^mo^- ican citizen, as some other ("anadian inventors have been. • • • It has many times been stated by the judiciary that a person has nr justification in assaulting another n( matter what the provocation. Magis- trate Elliott of Sault Ste. .Marie di.s- missed an assult ease, where an alder- man in that city was called a "liar,'' by a foreigner whom he plugged.' The Magistrate ruled that the action was justified after tho Insult. 1;- this an evidence of a law for a Can- adian and another for the foreigner? It appears so. The latter has as much right to the protection of Can- adian courts as the former, and it appears to us to be a miscaniage of justice. If this decision is upheld in other courts there will no doubt bo plenty of fights in this locality and others on the hurling of such an epithet. The Toronto city council will also see many more fist fights in connection wtih their meetings, as that word appears to be a favorite expression amongst them. • • • Down at Brampton the Legion has protested against transients, who had been soldiers, being locked in the jail for lodging. In many places it is a real problem to care for these wand- erers. Certainly hotel accommoda- tion cannot bo given and many of them will feel their incarceration in a jail. Last week in Flcsherton a transient was installed in the cook house at tho park in which is a stove and suitable bedding. Some young lads sympathized with him in his predicament and offeted him some of iiieii highly prized apples, which to them, would be a real treat. They were declined, but not with thanks, with the wish he could have some- thing more substantial for food. Ik- had been given a bottle of milk and some bread to tide him over. It ap- pears sometimes the more that is done for many transients the more they want, while others are very thankful for even the smallest faVor Stole Christmas Trees Harold Lever, north of town, had a luad of Christmas trees stolen from his property the latter part of last week. Harold had been intending to truck the trees to Toronto himself, but this source from which ho might l)ay his tax bill has been denied him. Tile Thieves wont into his bush with handsaws and reaped the harvest. This is not the fiist time lots have been denuded of their evergreens for the Christmas trade by unscrup- ulous gentry who, if they keep on, will probably become high finance .speculators in a few years. Farmers who wish to preserve their Christmas trees as an as.set should keep theii eyes open night and day. hLfT A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFECSlI INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA ORAL HYGIENE Stories of hardships endured in Northern Ontario due to cold weather are beginning to sift through. There has been some exceptionally cold weather for this time of the year in the north and people poorly clad or without sufficient fo»d and unfortun- ate enough to be caught in some out- of-the-way places are certain to suf- fer. In a recent issue of the Oxbow Her- ald appeared an interesting letter that could be read with profit by any and all who have a notion that they are having a hard time of it at present. It is written by a Mennonite farmei of the district in heartfelt apprecia- tion of his good fortune in beng plant- ed on good Saskatchewan soil. He tells of the privations and abuses suf- fered in Russia, the land of his birth, of the sacrifices and perils attending his escape from that country. Of the run of bad luck in the past three years he thinks lightly when he re- calls the kindness of neighbors, the fairness of law enforcement and the hopeful future that beckons him to new effort. He knows the value of a honip in Canada. Tho health ot the teeth and of the tissues surrounding the teeth is im- portant. It is now generally recog- nized that serious conditions may arise in other parts of the body as a result of infections about the teeth. By infection we mean the presence of living germs, and when these arc confined or limited to one spot, we lefor to that spot as a focus of infec- tion. Focal infections incur in var- ious parts, the teeth being a common location. Focal infections are serious, not be- cause of what happens at the focus, but because the germs present at the focus may be carried by the blood :^tream to other parts of the body. Reaching other parts, the germs may cause di-sease in such parts, and so we find disease of the heart, kidneys, ed to appreciate. These rights of intelligent citizenship are our key to the situation. Why then, should we go about sullen and inactive in the matter? feeling that we are being made slaves and taking it lying down? A square deal is ours for the asking if we ask in the way appointed, and are willing to pay the price if some of the .sacrifice that some must make should turn up in our path. We may not all understand the evils of oui present money d.flation that is pro- posed. But we cm all see through things nearer home and with usuage our intelligence may develop. Surely we can see that everyone serving our town.ship in any way, from putting gravel on the roads to selecting jur- ors, teaching our schools, or attend- ing county council, are paid more than the .same ability and exertion would make for them at agriculture. Not only more but in moat cases 100'' more and year after year we let them by with this. Every position could be filled and well filled now at a price that woiild make no rush for the job and no sore heads among those who were left out. Just pay foi value received, then all woifld bt sharing the burden and none would be forced out who had really tried to stay in. Pay 1932 taxes, it is up to you. For 1933 ask for a reduction nerves, joints and other organs, as a result of some focus of infection in I '" P>"ice of all service that will accord at Exceptional Prices •^.M.•^.:..^.:~^.^.:..>^.:..>.:..J.,.„v,y,.,,..,.„y,y,.„..,..........„.......^^^ ..•..•..V.*..

It is quite true that many people have infeccd teeth, and yet they do not show any ill results of such in- fection. They are, however, living with a constant threat hanging over their heads. No one can venture an opinion as to when or for what reason there may occur a spread of germs, with the possibility of the ill results we have indicated. It is for that reason that it is sound advice, as a ^ matter of precaution, to telf you to keep the teeth in a healthy condition. In order to have healthy teeth, and to avoid those conditions which arise out of diseased teeth, it is necessary that some care be given to them. At the present time, it is unfortunately the case thnt care usually begins in he later years as an effort to pre- serve the teeth which are already damaged. The reverse should be practised. Care is needed through- out life, but care of the teeth in childhood will prevent much of the dental trouble that now occurs in adult life. In any case, the child's health demands a healthy mouth, just as much as does the health of the adult. The foundation for good sound, healthy teeth is diet. Proper build-' I injr foods must be provided if a good 'structure is to be built, and it must not bo forgotten that most of the building is done during the early years of life. So it is that milk and green vegetables, which supply cal- cium and phosphoru.sâ€" two essential mineralsâ€" must be included in the diet. If the teeth are to be kept healthy, they must be exercised through use, and kept clean. Some coarse foods, and such foods as hard, dry toast, give the teeth an opportunity for exercise, and these should be oaten. The teeth should be brushed after every meal, but the most important imte for doing this IS before retiring, so that the mouth may bo clean during the hours of sleep. Regular visits to the dentist will permit of the detection and cor- rection of any evidence of disease be- fore extensive damage or harm can result. with the ability to pay and elect no one who does not give a straight sat- isfactory answer. By all means re- pudiate the excess taxes of 1933. Do it as never before, do it now! â€"HERBERT J. NEIL, Osprey Township. Renew yoiir subscription now. MARMION MINK FABM BRINGS NICE INCOME Wm. Klages, manager of the Marm- ion Mink Farm, recently disposed of 250 of his mink pelts to a Toronto firm for flSOO, which is an average of $6.00 each. There are 160 left for breeding purposes. The number of mink born on the farm this year was 250. The price of mink pelts is a little higher than last year and rais- ing mink is more profitable than growfing farm produce. It would take considerable wheat at the present price to bring in a check for f 1500.00. Sun-Times. "LAWK A mercy: THIS IS NONE OF I" Isn't Agnes Macphail, M.P., the •frank thing She spoke over the radio from Windsor the other night and says it was the first time she had ever enjoyed being on the air, but later â€" well, let her tell it in her own way: "I thought it was a delightful evening until I saw my photograph in the Border Cities Star. Talk about stopping a clock. That would stop an express train going 60 miles an hour!" It must have been a half- sideways view, for according to her own statement, it would act as a semiphore! â€" Toronto Star. You have to live in Nevada six months before you can buy a fishing license, but only six weeks before you can get a divorce. This would seem to indicate that they take their fish- ing seriously out in Nevada. Read The Advance advertisements.

I I Winter Driving | 1 i.i;.->Hr.Rrox, ont. na I Tax Repudiation Dear Editor :- As neighbors drop in these days and sometimes friends from farther out, somehow the topic of how to pay current taxes out of current revenue off the land, upon which the tax is levied, seems to come up for a "once over" and the conclusion arrived at is that it cannot be done. Some of us have doctors bills to pay, others have interest on loans, but all have taxes, and some -«ay that they cannot and will not pay so largo a sum. That is as it should bo. We have been paying too much. The members of our local councils, when appealing for re-election, say that they are made to collect taxes to settle for expenditures over which they have no control. Too much oi that is true, but not all. We rate- payers say that wo arc paying (ox failing to pay) taxes over which we had no control, but that is not tru( either. We had the control, but wt passed it up. We hare it now foi 19S3. What will we do about it? Follow tho path of least resistance? That's what we have been doing. The reason for this aV^ence of current money is another story, but the hardships is very real and if borne by only a part of our people is crushing. Can we not break with the past and rise to our responsibility like men. Sink our own faults anil crimes with those of others, in the limbo of the shameful pa.")! and act, "Act in {he living present."
