Coâ€"operation is Needed In June of each year the Dominion Rurean of Statisties, in coâ€"operation with the Provincial Departments of Agriculture, _ distributes _ eardboard schedules to farmers for the purpose of collecting statistics of acreages under crop and the numbers of live stock and poultry on farms. This is now extended to include the breedâ€" ing and marketing intentions of farmâ€" ers with respect to lHvestock. These cheduies are distributed to the farâ€" roers of Ontario through the rurnll schoo} teachers. It is important that ; ril farmers eoâ€"operate in furnishing / this information.

Hay Market Report Eastern and Northern Ontario Prices: There is a considerable varation in price on account of locaâ€" tion but in main hay districts the prevailing prices to producers, at car, vary from $5.00â€"â€"$6.00 per ton. Supply: A considerable supply of timothy and light clover hay is still available but all clover and heavy mixed clover are sold. Almost coincidental with this report in the Globe and Mail, there appeared a frontâ€"page feature article in the Financial Post, hinting at an alliance between Premier Hepburn and Hon. "Jimmy" Gardiner, Federal Minister of Agriculture, aimed at the overthrow of the King leadership in federal affairs. About the same Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn, Premier of Ontario, has definitely broken with Rt. Hon. W. L. M. King, Premier of Canada, over the C.I.O. issue and in a public address last Thursday night he characterized the present Ottawa administration as "a vacillating Government.‘" He further asserted that while he was still a Reformer, he was no longer a "Mackenzie King Liberal." That there is a good prospect of a National Government in Canada is the belief of the Simcoe Reformer, one of Canada‘s leading semiâ€"weekly newspapers. ‘In an editorial it makes the following interesting comment on this all important question under the head "A Political Impasse" : The traffic problem is YOUR problem. Your stake in it is high, for it is your very life. Will you continue to bet your life, to substitute chance for caution and uncertainty for safety, or will you, by driving sanely, do your part to end this senseless lottery ? And that simply means "TRY COURTESY every minute you are behind the wheel of a car, just as you do in your business and social life every day. PROSPEZCT FOR NATIONAL GOVERNMENT be solved by each individual himself, and not one which will yield readily to wholesale soluâ€" tion. There is one simple rule of driving that will make our streets and highways safe for everyâ€" one who uses them: "Drive as you would have others drive." The automobile chugâ€"chugged its way into the Canadian scene as the tumultuous twentieth century began. Nobody took this "foolish conâ€" traption" very seriously. It was a passing fad â€"a relatively harmless toy for the young bloods of the day to play withâ€"and if an occasional chicken lost its life, the damage could be righted by a mfew .contrite words and perhaps a dollar. _ The fad, however, did not fade. Instead the automobile became an allâ€"important factor in modern civilization. It is unfortunate ‘that we have not yet learned to enjoy this marvellous instrument of transportation without paying a tremendous price. Year after year the traffic death record grows worse. That it did not improve in 1936, at a time when most encouraging advances were noted in law enforcement and traffic engineering in general, indicates but one thingâ€"that highâ€" way safety is a personal problem which must ROY 8.

When the chicks are on range they consume a considerâ€" able quantity of green feed, especiâ€" ally if it is fresh and tender. The trouble with a lot of our crops is that they soon become tough and fibrous. Fall sown rye makes a splendid early pasture. Oats sown early in the spring makes tender green feed for June and July. If oats are planted at intervals of two or three weeks they give splendid green feed up until the middle of July. Rape or kale may be sown for summer pasture, January 9, 1856 18 PRACTICAL CHARITY (St. Marys Journalâ€"Argus) Those of us who are so busy attending church meetings and service clubs of various kinds that we have scarcely time to call on ouf sick neighbors are rather put to shame by a local young man we heard about the other day. He has to support a family on a moderate wage and yet he finds time for a lot of practical neighborliness. He does his rounds just like a doctor, shaving a few unfortunates who can‘t afford to pay for the job, doing various chores at different homes and bringing friendliness and cheer to all. He is supplying a bit of direct action that most of us think we are too busy for. While others spend hours talking about doing something, this young man is out rendering practical help. Every driver should remember that the premium awarded for beating a train to a crossing is only a minute or two of saved time. The train wins all ties â€"and the loser‘s portion is a casket or a hospital cot. There‘s an old slogan that every motorist should keep ever fresh in his memory: "Train the mind to mind the train.‘" They manifest this dislike in tooting horns vigorously when caught in a traffic jam, in taking chances on passing other cars while rounding curves or climbing hilfsâ€"and in tearing over level crossings without preâ€" cautionary scanning of the track, or still worse, in trying to beat trains to crossings. Many motorists are always in something of a hurry when they take to the road. Even though they aren‘t hastening to an appointment, there are many drivers who dislike being held up for any reason. Today the provincial administration in Quebec has turned to extreme provincialism, with Premier Duplessis giving no sign of willingness to coâ€"operate with the Federal Government. Premier Hepburn of Ontario has renounced the Federal Prime Minister. In Alberta the Social Credit party is still in power and has extended its influence into Saskatchewan and Maniâ€" toba. The British Columbia situation is a jumble of parties. In the Maritimes there is a feeling of bitterâ€" ness concerning the treatment received by those provâ€" inces from the Dominion. The prospect for dominionâ€" wide accord on any given subject therefore appears exceedingly remote. One of the greatest causes for dissatisfaction against the King Government lies in its apparent impotency to effect any solution of the unemployment problem. Moreover, there is a wideâ€" spread feeling that Premier King is no longer able to give that aggressive type of leadership necessary to restoring prosperity in Canada and to unifying the whole country in a spirit of coâ€"operative endeavor. Under these cireumstances and with the Conservative fortunes at a low ebb, there is more than a good prospect of a National Government in the near future, TRAIN SELDOM LOSES RACE TO CROSSING (Fort Erie Timesâ€"Review) There were 211 people killed at Canadian railâ€" way crossings in 136. And of those 211 deaths, it is probable a majority were caused by carelessness. When a train hits an automobile, or a horseâ€"drawn vehicle, or a pedestrian, it‘s not the train‘s fault. For a train has to run on narrow strips of steel. Its course is rigidly restricted. It is a difficult piece of mechanism to stop on short notice. It has the right of way at all crossings. And it is an irresistible force, to which no puny automobile can offer resistance. in which partisan politics will play no part and mtes- men will strive sincerely and honestly to solve Canada‘s pressing problems. Certainly the political picture has changed radicâ€" ally since the last federal election. At that time, with Liberal administrations in power in the large majority of provinces, the federal Liberals argued that if they were returned to office they would be able to sit around the conference table with provincial ministers and arrive at some solution of the country‘s financial and economic problems. Particular reference was made to proposed amendments to the B.N.A. Act, considered vital to a proper redistribution of legisâ€" lative spheres for provinces and Deminion. But all attempts at conferences of this nature have proved a failure so far as achievement of any concrete results is concerned. which it discussed the serious differences existing beâ€" tween provincial and federal Liberals and the numerâ€" ous realignments of political parties in the various provinces. The possibility of major changes in the federal arena was emphasized. ELMIRA.â€"Pay increases totalling $425 were zlven to seven members of the Public School for 1987â€"88 by the school board at its meeting Monâ€" day night. One new teacher was enâ€" gaged to fill a vacancy on the staff. ELMIRA TEACHERS GET PAY INCREASE Parents who went out for the night leaving a family of seven children from an infant to 13 years of age, alone, were given a stern warning by Detective Blevins and Inspector Pullam of the Children‘s Aid Society, who were called to the house by reighbors. One of the children was quite jll and a physician was called. Parents who are negligent will be sternly dealt with by the authorities. Owing to the death of A. Werner a vacancy was created on the Libâ€" rary Board. An appointment to fill this vacancy was left over until next meeting. I. C. Ernst, town clerk, whose marriage takes place this week, was gresented with a gift by Mayor randt and members of the council at the conclusion of the meeting. On motion of J. C. Allemang and A. W. Hoffer, council authorized the chairman of the cemetery board to purchase a Dominion of Canada 4% per cent. $1,000 bond due in 1959. The addition of this bond to the perpetual fund brings th etotal to $6,600. _ PARENTS LECTURED FOR LEAVING FAMILY ALONE; ONE ILL M.

Clerk Ernst Presented with Gift in View of Approaching Elmira Council Has Short Session The whole undertaking, spread over several years, would involve an expenditure of some â€" $3,000,000. However, the Waldemar portion is the section being considered at pres ent. ‘While the Grand has been on its good behaviour in the last few years, the recent disastrous floods of Westâ€" ern Ontario are believed to have pla{ed their part in convincing authorities that conservation was an imperative mitter along the provâ€" nce‘s waterways.

As previous soundings of Federal authorities‘ attitude the undertaking reovealed an attitude not antagonistic and as the Conservation movement has long been supported by most muâ€" nicipal authorities in the Grand River valley basin, it is expected that Proâ€" mier Hapburn‘s approval means the proposed undertaking is practically under way. ‘The Premier was not halfâ€"hearted in his enthusiasm.

You thus lighten the burden of work and add to the pleasure of the days. But do you carry this same courtcous habit of thought and action onto the highways and r'ncdn it towards your fellowâ€" motorist when you are driving? Unfortunately many do not! And why? There is no real reason. They just THINK differâ€" ently towards their associates of the highway than towards their business associates. I suggest to gquch drivers that you now resolve to Try Courtesy in your driving. That you refrain from "cutting in" which in your driving. That you refrain from “a%h” which is one of the greatest hazards of presentâ€"day tra and may put you or the other fellow or both of you fn the ditch. Try Courtesy instead. That you drive at the 'm‘l of the traffic you are in and never "hold up the parade". t you keep well to the right at all timesâ€"there is lots of room. That you never pinch, pocket, or otherwise put your fellowâ€"motorist "on th«a spot". Try Courtesy instead. To these suggestions you can add many others if you will just THINK and drive in terms of courtesy. By so doing you will add greatly to the pleasures and safety of motoring for yourâ€" self and for others. on the Highway In Business _ you are Courteousâ€" .
