.WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1988 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE GROWING CHILD The health of iU growing children is the mo8t important quetstion which faces Canadaor any other country, fllere are other important questione concerning which the front pages ol newHpai>ers daily remind us, but tht future of this country io more de- pen<l«nt upon the mental and psysical oealth of the n«xt generation than it is upon anything else. Other values may change. The dollar may riKc or fall, and its pur- chasing power vary from time to time. Social conditions, in general and conditions of employment, in par- ticular, will be different. No mattei how things change, and regardless ot how we, individually, may view such changes, the boy and girl with c healthy mind and body will be better equipped to meet the years which lie before them. The parents who succeed in bring- ing their child to adult life with a well-developed, robust body and mind have givi-n him the greatest gift which it is within their power to offer. Other things may appear to be equally desirable, but none of them will mean as much to the child, be- cause with a healthy mind and body, he can secure the happiness which comes with the ability to live a useful life, and will overcome the difficulties which must be faced and dealt with satisfactorily. Most parents do give a great deal of care to their children during the first year or two of life. The baby is so dependent, that the need of care is obvious. Many mothers keep their babies under the supervision ot a doctor so that they may have advice on how to keep the babies wll. After the baby stage is passed, when the child is able to get around on his legs and have hLs meals with the rest of the family, most parents believe that the child can now take care of himself, and that as long as he does not complain, there ia no cause for worry. Certainly, independence in the child should be encouraged.. The oversol- icitous, fu.ssy parent does the child more harm than does the apparently neglectful one. What the child needs is guidance and supervision. Be- cause childhood is the period of growth, the child requires food that contains good building materials Sufficient sleep is one of the best means for maintaining health. The child should play out of doors; he should use h;.i muscles and learn to play with other children. An occas- ional health examination is also de- sirable. The child may appear to be healthy, and yet some condition may be present which needs attention. Children need care throughout their whole period of growth. WELL-FINISHED BEEF CATTLE WILL NEVER STAGNATE MARKET "Market stagnation, in my esti- mation," said Garnet H. Duncan, live- stock investigator, Ontario Marketing Board, "will never be caused by well- finished cattle. "In a .survey of the left-overs, 1 have found that the good type well- finished stocker, weighing about 900 I)ounds, has been allowed to follow the finished animal to the abbatoir, when it should have been returned to the feed lot. Too many in-betweens are being taken back to the farm. The.?e are often in rough condition^ ill-ibrcd and, in many cases, ill-fed. .Many of them should never have liv- ed beyond the veal stage. ".With the good abbatoir, and the in-betweens being returned to the farm, it would seem that it is merely a question of time before all sales promotion efforts, of the past twenty years, will be in vain. Statistics show we are feeding about 40 pei cent less cattle this year than last, with supplies cleaning up and pros- ixicts of better prices. It would seem that fai-mers, having feed to do so, should feed up all good slockers.'' Open Deer Season Forjoor Days An open season for deer hunting has been declared by the O.ntario De- l>artment of Game and Fisheries fot the last four days of thid week, Nov- ember 15 to 18, both days inclusive. The Department states that the counties of Grey, Simcoe and Duffer- in are the only southern Ontario counties to enjoy this privilege. Reg- ulations are the same as for those hunting in the north, which provides that only one deer can be -secured on jr.e permit issued to each hunter, tht permit to cost 14.00. We understand that a gun permit is also required Dogs are not allowed to pursue the .Jetr. This news was received with enthusiasm by hunters in this district v.-ho did not make the trip to the north. It is expected that a large contingent of sports from town and district will be out after the deer which are fairly plentiful. Two were seen on Tuesday afternoon close to town. ORIGIN OF "CHICAGO" Regarding the report of numerous cars with only one headlight burning being observed on the highways, Hon. Leopold Macaulay, Minister of High- ways, states that every effort is be- ing made to drive them off the roade. "The police," said Mr. Macaulay, "are under orders to prosecute in such cases." Local and Personal I Round and Square Dancing In Fraternal Hall FLESHERTON Wed., Nov. 22 Under the auspices of Grey Chapter, Eastern Star Dorothy Foster Orchestra and other music A good time is assured at this dance Admission: 25 cents. From an Iowa college professor who sent us a newspaper clipping telling of a cat which mothered sev- eral orphar.ed skunks, we received the following account of the origin of tht word, Chicago. We trust it will not offend our readers in the Illinois met- ropolis: While we are speaking of skunks, it might be interesting to remind youi readers that the city this year hostess to multitudes flocking to see its Century of Progress Exhihitidn takes its name from the Indian Skicagua, which we learn on the dependable authority of Harvey Ingham, emer- itus editor of the "Des Moines Reg- ister" and an earnest student of Ind- ian lore, is the Indian name for skunk. It survives in the present name of the Skunk River, a sizable tributary of the Mississippi flowing through east- of this country was called the Skic- agua River. .Mr. Ingham says, "As it is, the Chicagoan-3 now rather dodge the Iowa interpretation of their name intimating that it was the garlic word or wild onion that gave Chicago its name. The nearest the real Chic- agoan comes to the Iowa interpreta- tion is to admit that "in general the word was interpretc<i as applying to a bad imell."â€" -Our Dumb Animals.
