NOTE -- Henry Ford diéd immensely rich in what? In a plant which employs thousands of workmen and turns out production useful to man- kind. He didn't take his wealth with him; nor tie is up uselessly in the toe of his stocking. More- over, most of his critics would grow rich as he did--if they could. The road wasn't easy--Editor, \ a THE LESSON OF A GREAT LIFE by R, J, Deachman Henry Ford, one of the world's most spectacular personalities has passed away. He did more to brighten'the lives of average men and women than any other man ever lived. Could Henry Ford have accomplished what he did in any other than a free economy ? If he were alive and young today could he accomplish as much, even in the U.S.A.? 1 doubt it--times have changed. There is a dynamic _ power in freedom whi~' nothing else provides. * IT'S ABOUT TIME * ¥ Under Ld conomy' Henry Fo d would It is about time that those who believe in he nas b Zoom, : ry Fok Mey Christianity were as frank as its critics. When f * u an yo permit people talk about losing their faith in God if de- a 2 Wo . feat should come, - it ought in fairness to be asked: "Have they any faith to lose?" No one can lose what he never had. We wonder whether the faith of those who talk so easily about losing it has ever lifted up their hearts in adoration or sent them down on their knees in repentance. As a matter of fact, many of us have taken religion in a very casual way, and now we feel that God should work a miracle to please us, Have we a' faith to lose? : wol.. ve eneded before he could buy the materials with which to experiment on his new contraption, . When he got it running he would have to persuade the Board of Examiners that it would supply a public need better than anything else so far pro- duced.

His genius for organization and business management would never have been developed, the automobile would have remained an expensive luxury, used only by gevernment officials and the "\ idle rich, if there were any. Henry Ford was born at the right time. If he were young today could not do anything half as great as he 'did in_his generation? Socialism would never have allowed him to do what he liked with his own money. If any man ever gave so- ciety good value for the money earned, Ford did.

New front end grille and complimenting bright work, as well as elimination of the body belt moulding, have done much to give the new model an air of greater luxuriousness. This year the usual shut down for re-tooling was avoided, and there was virtually no decrease in the rate of output when the new models went into production. ~ ' Tice Y our contributions are requested for the British Flood Relief Campaign For information, phone G.

Smallman, of Winni- peg, by Port Perry Business Men,s Association, A brief musical entertainment fol- lowed the dinner. The entertainers were Messrs. Wesley Jackson, Ted Griffen, and Bruce Gerrow with saxa- phones and trumpet; and Miss Norma Hockley, vocalist; with Miss Lois Jef- frey at the piana. ie H, Peel, President of the Associa- tion, called on Andy Lawrence to in- treduce the speaker. It was pointed out that, Dr. Smallman was the son of Mr, and Mrs. R. B. Smallmapn, well known and highly respdtted citizens of Port Perry. Graduating. from Port Perry High School in 1932, Dr. Smallman graduated from Queen,s University as a Bachelor of Arts in 1936 and obtained his Master of Arts degree from Western University in 1938. After 1 post graduate course at the University of Edinburgh, he returned to Canada and received his Ph.D. degree from Edinburgh Uni- versity in 1940. After being on the McGill staff he was loaned to the De- partment of Trade and Commerce to study diseases of grain stored in ele- vators. As a result of this valuable -} work--he--was----made -a_ Fellow of the Ainerican- Association for the Ad- vancement-of- Science: ---- Dr.' Smallman's address gave a vivid picture -of the work in. which he is engaged. After reminicsent and appreaiat- ive references to his early years in Port Perry and the kindly, helpful influences -that surrounded him here, the speaker opened his address by stating that science might roughly be divided into two classes--product- ive and protective. His work is in the latter class, and has led to his con- Tiection with "the Dominion Depart- 'ment of Agriculture, where he spec- ialized in the study: of stoped foods of all kinds, including Canada's vast piles of wheat, ) This work of preventing loss in stored foods is of immense import- ance. The loss through infestation of many kinds amounts to 10 per cent of the world's food stored. But for that ten per cent waste, the pop- ulation of the world could be supplied with enough food for subsistence. Insects are among the greatest enemies of humanity. They were here before man arrived; and they will likely survive him. But they are not all bad; and their wholesale destruction could upset the balance of nature. + War emergency greatly increased the storage problem. This was par- ticulaily noticeable in wheat. The crops.of 1939 and 1940 were enormous 'and there were not enough elevators to meet the storage demand. As a result huge sheds were bullt to cover concrete floors--two acres ih extent. sometimes totalling ~2,000,000 bushels, a pile 50 feet in the centre tapering to 18 feet at the outer edges. 'capacity. Here were stored quantities of wheat |: N. Smallman Honoured Guest at Dinner tendered 'by the Business Men's Association. What came to be known as wheat mites would attack these enormous piles, and the surface would become encrusted - with them. These very tiny creatures increased with great rapidity, They soon disturbed tne temperatures, and produced a moist- ure, which in turn preduced mold. As many millions of dollars were invested in this wheat, and as the whole Canadian economy would be affected by its loss, something had to be done. The problem naturally had to be solved by the Department of Agriculture, and to Dr. Smallman and his staff was assigned the task of finding a cure for the evil. . The wheat storage is wide spread, and "as before stated, is stored in huge piles. . To probe a depth of fifty feet of wheat to discover infest- ation, moisture and temperature, was not easy. But a competent probe was invented that could take sam- ples every three feet of the depth, and discover conditions throughout the pile. Gases were forced into the pile to destroy the mites, and the sur- face of the great heap was kept mov- ing to give areation. Constant pat- rols were employed for this work. Another problem facing Dr. Smal Iman was wheat transportation. The wheat had to be moved to the sea- board, and shipped overseas; but the army was demanding control of tran= portation facilities. It became a contest of greatest needs. - The speaker brought out an idea of great importance, when he urged the value of pure research--reasearch without other objective than discovery of facts. For instance Dr. John Stanley studied the rate of progres- sive reproduction of flour beetles as a mathematical problem, with no other objective than to find the facts. But his method of reasearch actually saved London from a terrible bomb- ing; perhaps «from "utter destruction. When Germany was using the VI bomb the-making of these weapons was distributed oover a number of dites, each with a certain production Dr. Stanley asked that an air survey of these sites be made, their number computed. From that survey, by using the same technique as with the flour beetles he made an estimate of the total bomb output, and then said how many bombs: would. be required to destroy all the sites where V1 bombs were made. The great raid was made by the British Air Force; and V1 bombs ceased to be a menace to London. Dr, Smallman concluded his addregs by saying that science is a method of thinking, which knows nothing of in- tolerance, hate, prejudice, or wishful thinking, ; The search is for facts that may be used for production of good or for pre- vention of evil, for the good of man- kind. If that scientific method of thinking could control our people most of our troubles would be ended. The thanks of the meeting were tendered to Dr. Smallman for his wonderfully 'clear and informing address.

Inspectoor Booth pointed out in the beginning of his remarks that there had been formed 38 High School Dis- tricts in two years in the Province of Ontario and he predicted that with- in 10 years the entire province would be organized as High School Areas. It was drawn to the attention of those present that the ideal school should have approximately an attend- ance of 300 students; or one. serving an area of about 200 square miles.' At the present time the area served by the present school is less than this and should be enlarged to secure suf- ficient students to provide a worth- while optional time-table for Junior Matriculation Students. Inspector Booth pointed out the ad- vantages of the High School Area, namely: -- 1. The people outside the present drea-would have a voice in the opera- tion of the Secondary School to which they were sending their children. - - 2, The money which they paid: for the Secondary School Education would go directly to the school which they were supporting and not to other Secondary Schools in the Country." 3. All pupils requiring transporta- tion would be brought to the school in busts and the cost would be charged to the operation ¢osts in the school. 4, There would be better relation- ship and interest between the town and the surrounding: community. Port Perry High School as the Centre of High School District cided feature. of the transportation time the pays 75 per cent of the cost of opers- ting the local High School; that would mean that they would pay 75 per cent of the cost of transporting the pupils to the school and in addition there would be no ceiling cost placed on this expense. The operation of the School would be in the hands of a new Board made up in the following manner:-- 1. One member from each of the Municipalities making up the school area. " : : 2. One representative of the Public School having the largest enrolment in the area. ' 3. One representative of the Separ- ate School. 4. One representative County Council, Inspector Booth explained to those present the steps necessary to organ- ize the High School area. The first step has to be taken by the. Local High School Board when they notify from- the County Council that they desire to disband the present High School area and form a High School district. The second step is that each Municipal Board has to notify the County Coun- cil that they desire to join the High School area. The Third step and or- ganizing the area, ed out that these requests had to be presented before the June Session of the County Council 'in order that the newly formed High School Area might get in operation by the follow- Inspector Booth pointed out one de- ing January, of May.
