Editor TAKING OFF THE SHACKLES The United States and Russia last week reached an agreement to resume diplomatic relations, which were brok^ en off conswiuent on after-war dis- a^eemenls. Our neighbors have never really given up mutual com merce, but the stand-off attitude of the United States undoubtedly retard ed trade, and President Roosevelt re- cently mado it known to the Soviet that his country was now willing to discuss matters, with a view to im proving mutual relations. It is 80 that the United States will find a market for their surplus manufac turcs and agricultural products, re- ceiving in return products of Russia. Belief has been expressed that Russia will be poor pay, as in every negotia- tion with other countries the Soviets have clamored for payment in kind while looking for cash for their im- ports. There is this to be said to the credit of the modern Russian rulers: they have been decidedly better cayers than their predecessors of the Czar regime. This is testified to by many business men who have traded with them. Canadians have been prevent- ed in recent years from engaging in what promised to be mutually profit- able trade because of fear that the Kussians would sell their products for less money than Canadian produc- ers could pay. In our opinion, the better course would be to allow the traders in each nation freedom to exchange their products as best suited piem. Trade is not encouraged by imposing barriers against those who have the enterprise to promote it. Indeed, the great need of Canada to- day is unfettered commerce and a market for products that in too many cases can only be disposed of now at a loss. ACCLA.M.VTIONS AM) WARDEN Most of our Grey County muni- cipalities, this year appear to have decided to save election expenses by acclamation. Hanover, Meaford, Mark- dale, Flesherton, Artemesia, Bentinck, Euphrasia and Sullivan, all have re- elected their old councils. Among those who will hold their nominations later in the year is Osprey, our next- door neighbor, and we l)elieve they arc likely to follow suit. }n the case Df the Reeve, especially, we believe it would be wisdom on the part of the electors to return him to office. It is many years since Osprey had the honor of receiving the wardenship and they n«w have the certainty that, i| iMr. Taylor is e^cte<l, hie will be the .Warden for the next year. The Advance has been making some en- <(uiries among county councillors, and they all believe that Mr. Taylor has the Wardenship "in the bag," as Andy would say. EDITORIAL NOTES Now that the arrival of winter has been .settled, the next (luestion is â- 'When will it end?" «' • * Industrial conditions in Canada are brightening each month, as additional employees arc being taken on the pay I'oU. The employing of more men is havingf its effects on the small towns of the province, as there are fewer transients on the roads com- -.larcd with last year. Conditions in the U.S.A. do not ap- pear to he improving under the N.R.A. Just now there is a real little finan- cial war on over there, with the hank ing clement at war with the support- ers of the National Recovery Act. Up to the present time the money Kings do not appear to have made much im- .pression on the redoubtable president who proposes to continue his pro- gram. ^ ., * • • In another column we publish an article relating to the better finish- ing of hoffs. It is a timely item and if followed should assist the ex- port market to Britain in furnishing a better grade of bacon. But, we do not Bee, »nth hogs at the present price, how it would pay the farmei to finish his hogs to the desired weight required for first class sides of bacon. He markets them under «reight, so that he can, at least, make a small amount of money on them. • • • A terrible tragedy, the like of which never did, never could and never will happen in Canada took place at San •lose, California, when two self-con- fessed murders were taken from the jail by a mob and hanged to a tree in the park opposite the .iail. II !.â- > said that six thousand citizen? wit- ncfged thi.<i tenible sight without pro fpct. Wo havp hoard radio speakers "over there" express the fear that their country is heading for anarchy. I'robably that six thousand diseaseu lot of human mentality were anxious to be in on the ground floor when the feartnl cataclysm arrived. In any event, the people of San Jose, judg- ing by their morbid tastes, are the proiK-r kind of citizens to give birth to the chaotic conditions so much fear- •(\ by the better class of citizens in die Urite<l States. • * * Now that there is live discussion ihroughourt the country on the advant- ages of having greater opportunity for young and old procuring and consum- ing intoxicating drinks, artful argu- ments are advanced by brewei-s and distillers and their associates. It is argued, for example, that alcohol is a food, but there is high medical auth- ority that it is not. There is proot that alcoholic drinks have a definite offect on the nervous system and numl the brain. Moreover, alcohol breaks down the imbiber's resistance, impair.*- his judgment, and his body contracts di-sease more readily. By the way. Is there record of any person, now c'lassed as a drunkard, and confessing inability to maintain self c-ontroil, being able to toll the time when he first became unable to control his passion for intoxicating liquors? « « * The case of a workman who pur- chased from the City of Toronto authorities a lot and residence for the sum of five thousand dollars, and up to the present time had pail $5,000 in principal and interest, but owing to the labor market, fell behind for the past years, seems to be pretty conclusive evidence that Toronto is not such a big city as some people would have us believe. We are told that the city tried to get this workman to give a quit claim deed for the property so IhRt they might foreclose and take his life's savings from him at the least possible expense! It looks to out- siders as though Toronto were getting to be a pretty small hamlet. If the city were measured by its estimate of itself it would give this man a clear deed of his property and forego the interest. , _^j Osprey Council The Osprey municipal council met in the Orange hall.

More deaths occur from heart disease than from any olhc-r disease. Nevertheless the picture is not as black as this statement would suggest. There is one bright spot, namely that the num- ber of deaths from heart disease in early life are decreasing. The increajg in heart disease aftei forty-five i.i due, in part, to the fart that more people are now reaching adult life as a result of our better control of diseases of early life. After forty-five, the body begins to show signs of wear and tear. The heart is one of the first organs to show such changes, and heart disease, in this case, is simply a wearing out of the organ. Heart disease, other than the form that is due to actual old age, or to premature old age, is the cause of much suffering and of the cutting .^hort of many lives. In order to pre- vent its ravages, we must considei what dauses these cases, because the hope of prevention lies in the preven- tion or control of the causes. Heart disease may follow any of the ordinary communicable diseases of childhood, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever or measles, but it is especially apt to occur after rheu- matic fever, even of the mildest form. This means that if the heart disease is to be avoided, all such cases of illness, no matter how mild the attack, must be carefully cared for, and Iwfore the little patient is allowed to go "back to school or take part in games or active play, he should be given a thorough examina- tion in order that the doctor may de- termine whether or not the heart is all right and that it is capable of meeting the strain of active life without injury. The periodic health examination is of great value in detecting the early signs of heart trouble. The doctor will discover any infected teeth, ton- sila or head sinuses, which may be the focus from which the heart is being poisoned and damaged. He will also bring to light any unsuspect- ed chronic disease, such as syphilis, which if untreated, insiduously under- mines the heart and arteries. If the heart is damaged, the doctor will give advice on how to live so as to conserve the strength of the organ. The correction of defects and the proper treatment of chronic infections will protect the heart from damage. Thus, the periodic health examination protects those who take advantage of a medical check-up at regular inter- vals, in order that they may keep well and not find themselves stricken by a heart condition which could have been detected and, at least, keT)t under control through medical supervision. WINTERING THE BROOD SOW The ibrood sow deserves hfer fair share of winter accomodation. A pen that is well bedded, dry and free from draughts is essential. Place the feed trough some distance away so that she is forced to exercise out- doors daily. Eradicate lice and round worm-s; there is no market for them. Feed a mixture of grains to maintain the sow in fair flesh, but use ibarley sparingly unless the sow is very thin. Provide clover or alfalfa hay to be eaten at will. Be kind to the sow, but not "too kind", or weak, unthrifty pigs will rcBUlt. ' A central bank for Canada is now proposed and one of the good poir.ts in its favor is that credits can be more easily arranged. Personally, *c wcrld prefer mr.ro cash and lo -, credit.

McKnight as County Engineei and Road Superintendent presented to the November session of the Grey County Council, figures are giVeih .showing where every cent of the mon- ey expended went, what it was for hcrw it was divided among the var- ious townships, etc. The report was one of the finest ever presented to the County Council, and went into great detail. In order to follow out tlj* program of economy adapted at the beginning of the year with respect to road ex- penditures there was comparatively little construction work done, while the maintenance costs were also kept down to the minimum. The total gross expenditure on construction in 1933 was $10,674.30 and on maintenance $36,009.32 and in connection with the general account $8,072.08. There were also two items in connection with which no subsidy will be paid, totalling $4,902.28. These bring the total gross expenditure up to $59,057.98. Credits of $7,111.71 reduce this amount to a total net ex- penditure of $52,546.27. One of the two items on which no subsidy will be paid was accounts totalling $3,- 357.70 for county boundary work fin- anced by other counties. This re- duces the total gross expenditure by Grey County from $59,657.98 to $56,- 000.28. Credits of $7,111.71 and the other account on which no subsidy will be paid amounting to $1,245.68, reduce the total net expenditure on which a subsidy will be paid by the province to $47,643.99. Resurfacing of county roads with gravel during the past year cost in all $17,133.70. A total of 28,243 cubic yards of gravel were put on the roads at an average cost per cubic yard of 60% cents. Resurfacing with crush- ed stone cost a total of $20,287.46. The average cost of the stone used was 67 2-3 cents a cubic yarcj^and 29,887 cubic yards were used in the work. ^,1 li _ PORTLAW Mrs. Florence Lyons entertained her Sunday school class of senior boys last Friday evening to a fowl supper. After the table delicacies were dis- posed of some hours of thorough en- joyment were spent in g^ames, con- tests and music. The boys express- ed their appreciation of their teacher's generous kindness. Miss Lillian Morton, R.N., of tht Sick Children's Hospital, Toronto, vis- ited with her parents last week. Lloyd Little had the misfortune tt give his foot a bad cut while cutting wood recently. Mr. S. Sheardown is attending the Royal Winter Fair and will again be a contestant there in the horse shoe pitching. Mr. Henry Blakey is visiting with his sisters and brother in Toronto. Mr. Bert Morton was in Toronto last week. The Women's Association held theii last monthly meeting at the home ol Mrs. J. W. Lyons. About twenty members and six visitors were pres- ent and a good deal of important busi- ness was transacted. Miss Heard and her pupils are pre- paring for their annual school concert to be held in the near future. Reed Canary Grass (Experimental Farms Note) How many Canadian farmers are familiar with Reed Canary Grass? It is safe to say that the majority have never heard of it although a ftw meii have grown it for several years. As a matter of fact it may be found growing wild in many places from coast to coast. Reed Canary Gra.-ts is a tall growing perennial plant which is most at home in moist locations. Curiously enough it is also very drought resistant, re- maining green through hot summer weather on soil which is very dry. It is not nearly so productive however, as when moisture conditions are fav- orable. The Division of Forage Plants, Do- minion Experimental Farm, has con- ducted experiments with Reed Canary Grass for many years. These tests have shown that it is a valuable grass to grow on land which becomes flood- ed with water for a time each season Once reed canary grass is established it will last for many years. It spreads by underground stems and forms a good sod, but may be eradicated if one desires to do so. Reed Canary grass should be cut for hay about the time that the head ap pears. Live stock like it and it has good feeding value. As a pasture grass it is very palatable and nutrit- ious. Most of the seed supply at present is produced in Minnesota on peat land. The grass is well adapted to this kind of soil. Seed production of Reed Canary grass is a little diffi- cult because the seed shatters readily, making it necessary to harvest at ex- actly the right time. This is one reason why seed prices have been high. The seed has a smooth oily ap- pearance reminding one of flax. It is attractive in appearance, easy to handle, and weighs about 30 pounds per bu^el. The Thorribury Revleiw-Herald challenges it^ readers to eay "Rub- ber Buggy Bumpers" six times in a row without jumbling it up. Try it.
