THURSTON, Editor GREC COUNTY FARM FORUM According t e reports t o hand Grey County had another very in- teresting time discussing the topic "In Time of Need," and are almost unanimoos in their findings. All tliought social security measureji such as Family Allowances, Unem- ployment Insurance, Workmen's Compensation, Health Insurance and Old Agu Pensions were a pood thing A few qualified their remarks, a.; Defcboro North puts it there is a tendency to make the government responsible for too much, thus tak- ing away initiative. Orange Valley â€" We think social rr<;i'.3ures are a g'lijd thinjc antl ;i,« times advance will be very much needed. East Linton â€" Social mea-sures are a good thing except for the fact you have a flat wallet ^ter paying for Fire, Life, Car, Wind, Hail, and Health Fnsuv;ince and farm taxes and if the-e is five cents over Irxomo Tax. Cheese- vilie â€" A good thing when not a- bused. Hampden answers for many with â€" Old ago pe.iiions should be given to all men and women en reaching age of 65 and should be on a sliding scaL' in ai-oordance with the cost of livin:?. Many commented on Family AJ- I'rwanco.'i and Health Iiisuranco very favourably. Many forums use Giey County Medical Servic«si as an ex- ample of what people can do for t>iemselves at a very low cost rate per family and so we find almost all forum people in favour of pro- viding services which create a sense of security from want as people grow older. If peop-le hoard money it is then taken out of circulation. The following are the questions: 1. In the article "In Turn: of Need" aome social security mea.sures are some social security mti.isuves are outlined. Do you think the trend toward such things is a good or bad thing Give reason. 2. K(Av' .-ihuuld we handle the prob- If -m of old age pensions? Please re- port your ideas in regard to age ijualifications, amount of pension, method of financing, and who should receive the pensions. To question (1) all Forums ans- wered "yes." Lamlash .says: the trend to soich measures is good, the I'iiniily allowance helps the small wajre earner, especially those with i.ii-pre families. Health -insurance icicans a plan for pooling the costs I'l medical care so that adequate lioatment is available to every one, !ijrardless of income. Sand Hill: A i^dod thing; it helps keep money moving and may help to save us from ,r, • depression. Camperdown: Social -ecuriiy ineiisures are good, but are scmetime.^ abused, but we think a security from the cradle to the grave â- ihduld be worked out. To question (2) brings what may be a surprise tc many people who think that farmers cannot stop work- ing or should we say, never dream (if quitting producing^ food at a price l)elow cost of production, for we find that among these farmers whose average age is around 67, the vast majority are asking that old i!ige pensions be paid to all people at the age of 65. â€" ^W. Magwood, Hanover Using A Secret Ballot The editor of *b« Orangeville Ban- ner says,: We note that some county councils Imre declared in favor ai using a secret ballot when electing a War- (in. York and Wellington councils have approved of this plan. Mem- bers of councils are sometimes dis- posed to forget that there are elect- ed to do public business &n4 tbat tho people who elect them have a right to know what they ar« doing. This applies to the election of War- den as well as to other business. It is quite conceivable tluvt a con- siderable numlber of citizens in any county mijTht have decided opinions on Mie question of th« Wardenship and the qualificatioas of the aspir- ants for the office. Are they to be denied the right to know how their representatives vote? To our way Off thinking there is no justification for the use of the secret ballot in this or any other public busineas. If a man is afraid to take his position i-'^d vote openly he has i;o business seeking a pubhc office. One of this type should not be in public life at all. The use of the secret ballot would only provide a cover for diss- imulation and deceit. It would give members of councils a chance to ride two horses at one time, to pretend to both candidates that they were for them and then under the cloak of secrecy support one and knife the other. The secret ballot should have no place in municipal business and if citizens are alive to their own inter- ests they will frown on its use and refu.so to support the weak-kneed councillors who would employ this subterfuge to conceal their lack of manhood and courage.

The ice has been real good, considering every- thing. Hot water is used for floo<l_ ing the ice and gives a smooth hard surface, and is spread on the ice from a barrel mounted on rubber tires. The hot water is a great im- provement ovej- the old system. «REV COUNTY WILL PAY TTOUNTY ON FOXES IN 1949 lAt the session of Grey County Council in Owen Sound last weefe, it was decided to continue the bounty on foxes during 1949.
