"Your real hope", he said, "is in getting a small business ~ of your own. Try to get a job in a small town." Henry Ford is equally enthusiastic about the small town as a place to work and live. His spokesman, W, J, Cameron, made some pertinent remarks about the matter not many weeks ago. "Nowadays", he said, "no one need go to the city ------for-a career. Big things can be done in smaller places. Towns and villages are even coming to be preferred for many types of enterprise," The small town has always been a good place any disadvantages it may have had as to distance or isolation have disappeared. Traditional qualities of friendliness, freedom and fresh air have been enhanced by most of the amenities of "city" life.

Federal clarification of the Sunday Laws was advised by Attorney-Gen- eral Gordon D. Conant, as he entered the campaign for saner Sabbath stat- utes. - The present Sunday law is not clear, he declared, and should be modi- fied to win the support of the people. Teeth should be put in the Sunday | law or it should be abolished alto- gether, said the Attorney-General. The enforcement of the law is prim- arily in the hands of the municipal authorities, he said, and infringements of the law are matters of summary conviction. 'But evidence is very dif- ficult to obtain, and juries and judicial officers are not likely to convict, he went on. The fines imposed on persons guilty of breaking the Sunday law are nomi- nal and do not really constitute a punishment. They merely. become a sort of license for breaking the law on Sunday. +The Attorney-General gave a brief resume of the statutes governing Sabbath day activities. The first Act | was passed in 1846 and did not apply to corporations, passed in 1906. The second act was It was broader in '|scope and applied in corporations and persons alike, . "While both of these acts are still in force, the law would be much more certain and enforceable if it were brought up to date and enacted in the form of one law," the Attorney-Gen- eral said, : The only way to do that, he believed was to campaign for Federal action, With Federal clarification, the same view toward the Sunday observances might be held by all people, "SET Bangs Disease and Stock Exhibits Adopting the policy of the Federal Department of Agriculture in order to improve the health of the country's herds of cattle, the Finance and Man- agement Committees and a chairman of all the Livestock Committees of the Oshwa Fair are taking steps to guard against the attendance of livestock with Bang's disease at the show this fall, it was announced by R. B, Faith, secretary of the South Ontario Agri- cultural Association. Must Have Certificates The policy adopted by the fair com- mittee reads that all cattle except male animals and females under the age of one year, exhibited from herds not inspected by the Department of Agriculture in their campaign against Bang's disease, must be accompanied by certificates showing negative blood tests for Bang's disease. These tests must be made within thirty days prior to the opening of the fair by an official of the Health of Animals Department, Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture, or by some other qualified veterinary, Certificates issued by the Federal government to cattle from negative Herds will be accepted without addi- tional teats, # Blood samples will be drawn free of charge by a veterinary official from the Health of Animals Branch at Ot- tawa under special arrangements made with the Veterinary Director- General, if desired by the exhibitor and if application is made before August 16, PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, TH Pedestrians Must Learn Their Part in Reducing Traffic Accidents Highway Minister Asks for Cooperative Spirit. "Highway accident tolls- will be sharply reduced when pedestrians learn to think of themselves as a dis- tinct group in the highway traffic stream," Hom T. B. McQuesten, On- tario minister of highways, stated in an appeal issued asking for coopera: tion from all users of the streets and highways in the press campaign of advertising now: being carried on thronghont the Province, aimed at cut- ting down the toll of fatalities and in- juries, "Pedestrians have remained strong- ly individualistic through all the years of rapid growth in vehicular traffic," he explained. Motorists have trained themselves, and are being trained, to keep their minds on the job of driving, while they have a wheel in their hands. Too many pedestrians have their minds- anywhere except on the Job of walking on the streets and highways in a manner that will pre- vent an accident involving themselves and possibly other travellers on the highway, "The best pedestrians", he sald, "are the postmen, They use the streets more than anyone else, but very rarely are they involved in an accident, and you don't see a post- man's name in the casualty lists. The postman uses the cross walks, is care- ful and accurate in his judgment of traffic movements and speeds, and he never tries to compete with passing traffic." " Pedestrians, as' a group, figure largely in the total number of acci- dents, analysis of the Department of Highways' accident statistics reveals, Suggestions for cure: 1. Crossing between intersections-- cross only at crossings. 2. Children playing in the streets-- parks, playgrounds<and-yards are ob- viously safer places to-play. 8. Crossing the street against traf- fic and signals--don't walk into the path of trouble. . 4. Stepping from behind parked vehicles or objects--don't play hide and seek on the highway, but give yourself and the motorists a chance to see and be seen. 6. Walking an, or crossing highway --be fair and be safe; cross quickly and safely and always walk at the pide of the road, facing the traffic stream, when using the highway, -- Port Perry Sports Monday, Aug. 1st Those Aggressive Scugog Fish Lake Scugog hass are aggressive. All you have to do is go rowing ac- cording to Terry Smith, Broadview Ave., Toronto, and the. fish will jump right into the boat. a row boat with Miss Kathleen Harper of Oshawa, nurse-in-training at St. Michael's Hospital, and Miss Jean Miller, of Oshawa. It was around 8.30 p.m. and they were 80 feet from shore "when a 214 pound bass jumped into the boat. It lit on one of the young ladies and she nearly fell out of the boat, I grabbed the fish and banged his head on the gunwale." A Marshall Stonehouse Dies Suddenly Word has been received of the sud- den death of Marshall Stonehouse at his home Keewatin Ave, Toronto, Death was due to a heart attack.

All black and doing well, URSDAY, JULY 21st, 1938 Dedication Thursday, July 28th, is the day set aside for the dedication of a site on which is to be erected a mem- orial in honour of Daniel David Palmer, the founder of Chiropractic in America--Canada and the United States. . Upon that occasion we expect an influx of about a thoneand strangers'from all parts of Canada and the United States. The Port Perry Council has led the way in hospitable treatment of the strangers by pre- paring an entertainment for them. In this they have been ably supported by the Business Men's Associa- tion and the Lions Club. The speakers at the dedication ceremony (which will be held at the Lakeside Park) will include Rev. E. C. Hunter, of Hamilton, and Hon. G. D, Conant, Attorney-General for the Province of Ontario. Proceedings will begin at 4.80 p.m. sharp, stan- dard time, and will last about an hour. After the ceremony supper will be served by the restaurants and hotel, assisted by the various churches and socie- ties, This general co-operation in the matter of re- freshments has been greatly appreciated by the committee in charge. - The Evening Program The evening program of dancing and music will be somewhat earlier than usual, as our visitors will be on daylight saving time. Probably the street dance will begin at 8.30 p.m., standard time. Music will be provided by Lou Decker, and his seven piece novelty band, a Toronto aggregation. This Street Dance, which will be held on the new pavement, will be free to all who care to dance. There will be refreshment and novelty booths, and a general good time. SOME SUGGESTIONS Keep the stores open and well lighted, There is no compulsion in this matter; but the visitors have money which can be spent in Port Perry. Decorate your premises for the 28th and Civic Holiday. Our face is our fortune--make it pretty. There will be an influx of autos; parking difficult; walk if you can. The committee requests that the water front be kept free of autos. Parking space is being found elsewhere. This plan worked out well last Sunday. : Above all: Be friendly--SMILE. Palmer Memorial Last week he was taking the air in] _ clerk-treasurer. "Dear Fellow Citizen: Preishiation to W. F. Dobson On Tuesday evening of this week the home of Mr, W. F. Dobson, Manchester, was visited by a number of gentlemen who had been associated with Mr. Dob- son in the work of Reach Township Council. They met to present him with a gold watch and the following address. Reeve Parrott presided. Ex-Reeves Grant Christie and Geo. A. McMillan made the presentation. Mr Dobson responded suitably on behalf of Mrs. Dobson and himself, outlining the total of 38 years of service for the Township as tax collector, clerk, and A very pleasant evening was spent. T has been said, and rightly so, that intense, unstinted loyalty to a cause always merits its own reward, and still your Associates in the Township Council for the past thirty-one years feel that some tangible recognition of your service should be manifested on their part and that honour should be rendered where honour is due. The symbols of your initials stand for something richer by far than ever your good parents anticipated for there was ever a WILLINGNESS on your part to be of service to every member of the community disregarding his station in life: there was always a FIDELITY, that was never betrayed, to the trust that was reposed in you; and finally a DEVOTION to duty that displaced every other interest that stood in the pathway of the service required of you. You always adorned these attributes with a dignity that even your charming personality could not hide, as you carried out your onerous duties with tact and understanding. You have the happy faculty of making friends and keep- ing them as you made them. Your old friends in the Council beg you to accept this slight token of the esteem so rich and refreshing, gained through association with you. and the wish of all is that you and your good wife may be both spared to enjoy many happy years of pleasant retirement as you recall the long period spent in the service of the community. SAMUEL FARMER, Editor and Publisher. Thirty Years Ago (Kincardine News) Perhaps it is futile to write of changed positions over the past few decadces. So we will let the editor of the Walkerton Telescope of thirty years ago tell what situation was found on Bruce highways, just to show how changed conditions really are, Thirty years this week the editor of the Walkerton Telescope sharpened his quill and gave his readers this hot- shot: "In Kincardine one day last week an automobile frightened a horse, the horse ran away, the driver was thrown out of the rig and his leg was broken, It is becoming apparent from incidents like this that some- thing will have to be done about these automobiles. For several years past the farmers in the vicinity of Toronto have been agitating for a law to re- strain automobiles from using the public highway, but, so far have not been able to accomplish anything." And then the editor gets real mad. "Gradually", acocrding to this 1908 isue of The Telescope; "the nuisance is becoming more general. Every town in the province has its automobile now and some of them have more than one. The machines go scooting through the country and no road is sacred to them. Horses that are easily enough con- trolled in the presence of a railway go crazy at the sight of an automobile and incidents such as the above are happening all over the country." And then the - Walkerton -pundit made a prediction. "It will not be long" he wrote, "before the auto- mobile will drive the farmers off the 'roads altogether, unless something is done to restrain them. The farmers built these highways in the first place and are straining themselves to keep them in repair and, it must be more than a little annoying to them to be thus disposed of by this new machine. What they ought to do is pledge every candidate for Parliament to use his vote and influence in favour of a law prohibiting automobiles from using the public highways altogether, or at least under conditions that will not interfere with traffic." Restore the Beer Permits (Oshawa Daily Times) If the government of Ontario- has any interest in the control of liquor it should, immediately countermand the order which abolished the permit for the purchase of beer in warehouses and breweries. Police nfficers have long since pointed out that the ab- sence o fa permit for such purchases makes bootlegging easy and prosecu- tion difficult; and now Magistrate Campbell of St. Catharines, speaking from the bench when imposing a fine for illegal possession, points out that "a man can go to a warehouse and buy several cases of beer which he can sell at his home. A man is-not limited where he can buy beer. He can buy beer or ale wherever it is sold in the Province. Under former regulations possession of beer not shown on per- mit ws a prima facie case of illegal possession. The present regulations are entirely unsatisfactory in that re- spect." _ On several occasions The Ontario Temperance Federation has called Mr. Odette's attention to the situation created by the absence of the beer permit for such purchases. His reply has been that the order forms used in purchasing are a sufficient record. These order forms, however, may be scattered through a dozen or more warehouses and would be collated, if at all, only when suspicion has arisen. To say that these forms thus scattered can effectively take the place of the presentation at each purchase of a permit with a continuous record, is simply to talk nonsense. If the gov- ernment is interested in control and not revenue from increased brewery sales it should immediately restore the permit making it applicable to all purchases of beer other than that sold in beverage rooms. Those Boulevards "Company's coming" next Thursday and on Civic Heliday, and it would be a fine idea to clean up the boulevards, and other unsightly places before that time. Very few towns are as trim as ours, but there are still some rough spots in spite of the fine work recently done by the weed cutters. + ' A pb De NS Se A of Pr, yo SA h : L pA ak A > I { i i Ly iN by LEA 3 s AE a Wh
