believe in hu man progress but I dont think we can get it by glorifying self ishness as a public policy In politics you go faster and fur ther by cooperation than by competition Scott Young doubts ability to organize a strong and moderate government on a nat ional scale The Conservatives are the only opposition party with the power and tradition to capitalize fully on the un doubted sentiment there is in the country now he declares He claims the Liber als too long in office have be come careless with our money and with their own manners and morals If the Liberals lose this election it will be at least partly because of proved carelessness from which some voters will suspect dishonesty in such internal affairs as lett ing our contracts and spending our funds Young says The Liberals have

TWO THURSDAY THE SIXTH DAY OF AUGUST NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE by Dairy Farmer The Top Six Inches The fall wheat harvest is here and many field is cut and and some even threshed by now By all ac counts it will be a good crop We went over our fields the other day and it is well above average It is an important crop to us and it is especially suited for district with a lot of dairy farming in it First it nice in the rotation after breaking a sod Secondly it will give a lot of straw from relatively snail acreage a very important factor Straw is be coming an increasingly serious problem in dairy districts Last but not least it is a good cash return or at least it used to be It is also one of the crops where really suitable varieties are available Whether you grow one or the other of the loose smut resistant varieties you can expect a real crop with half decent care In addition we found that it will tolerate quite heavy grazing in the fall and come back better than ever in the spring There is one field we know where the cattle broke in late last fall and when the first snow came the field was just bare The wheat was grazed to the ground and it was tramped down a real muddy puddle Tills spring it was probably the best field we know Of course it was an especially good spring for growth this year but we found that year in and year out it is possible to graze fall wheat in the fall and not hurt it Hie only trouble to be found is that the price has been slip ping and this year it promises to be lower again than last year Now when the price of a pro duct is too low there are two possible explanations either that the system of marketing and markups is not right or that the use this product can be put to is limited If the for is the case it would be in teresting to investigate what really happens to the Ontario fall wheat crop One hears stories occasionally of formid able markups and terrific profits on fall wheat The sys tem of marketing is pretty cut throat the price varies from day to day the large mills will buy one day and not the next day and we are pretty well at their mercy We think that new uses should be found for Ontario fall wheat We would like to see some institution investigate the use of Ontario wheat for poultry feed We would like to see some home economist try a few recipes that call for the use of flour milled out of fall wheat It seems unreason able to see mill feeds up in price because there is no use for the flour from fall wheat thus forcing us to sell wheat cheaper and cheaper in order to buy bran dearer and dearer Neither does it make sense to see the price of bread go up one cent a loaf while we get less for our wheat Yes wo know that it Is not the same wheat or rather should we say it is not supposed to be the same wheat Some sort of investigation is in order That such a step hasnt been token yet is a sign of weakness on the part of the growers and when one thinks of the of August in the off ing it might not be a bad time to he grousing just a little bit The fall wheat crop Is very important in tills area Dairy ing has always depended on it It would be interesting to see what a little bit of poking around could do about it INSURANCE FOR CANADAS FUTURE not widely publicized belt forms of In fancy for Canadas economic future to being undertaken by col- Ion of government and In controlled replanting of forest land Canada could the world with timber forever To mark the planting of tree this year In KapuMkaxlng out area executive and wood VOTE MONDAY The important thing for all of us to do on Monday is to vote National organizations like the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Legion are doing their best to remind Canadians that we cannot maintain the democratic system of government unless we are more serious than we have been about the fran chise In June percent of the Italian electorate cast their ballots in a national election The government was elected only by a small majority Had there not been such a fine tournout of electors a government of a less desirable type could have been elected in Italy In the Canadian federal election less than per- cent of electorate voted It has been said that the power of the individual is disappearing in modern civilization that he is be coming part of a mass If the individual is prepared to accept the judgment that his must be a passive and obedient role and that selfstyled experts must be the real rulers then all mans dignity has been lost But we still have the power to choose our representatives in government And the dignity of the individual sur vives as long as he demonstrates his willingness to exer cise the rights and discharge the responsibilities of citi zenship The essence of political freedom is in the exercise of the free vote On Monday let us go to the polls and vote Let us vote as we wish but vote THE TRADE FAIR The fifth annual trade fair in Newmarket opens at the Memorial arena next Wednesday and will continue through until Saturday night Preparations for the air this year indicate that it will exceed previous years in color variety and number of exhibits Through the cooperation of the merchants the trade fair has become the event of the year in Newmarket and it is admitted by practically every business man that the fair has made a great contribution to developing Newmarkets fine shopping centre The fair brings customers to town and encourages Newmarket citizens to buy at home The fair shows the faith that the merchants have in their business centre and is proof that they can compete with Toronto which is so close to the buyer The trade fair shows that the merchants here can compete with or outdo Toronto when it comes to offering goods and services to the average householder NEED NEW WIDER STREETS It has been said that the forerunner of lower pro perty values is congestion While we have been driving the narrow streets of Newmarket following the heavy traffic off Main St we have wondered about the future of property values along Newmarkets nar row streets The streets in town are as narrow as they could possibly be to permit two cars to pass The traf fic problem seems to be at its peak now yet the number of motor cars on roads is an ever increasing figure as the automobile age advances It would seem that a lesson would have been learned from the narrow streets built or years ago but looking at new streets in subdivision developments in Newmarket it seems the lesson has not been learned There are no fine wide boulevards even In the newest subdivision in AWARE OF ITS NEIGHBORS We are all dependent to a degree on our neigh bors In community life this is expressed by generous response by people in the town and district to worthy causes and support of local civic undertakings by service organisations The business community is no less dependent on neighbors than any other group The business community depends on tho people of neigh boring villages and townships for support trade fair way in which tho merchants gain a closer with neighbors While Main St was closed to traffic during recon struction business men were given an abrupt reminder of their dependence on Newmarkets neighbors It was obvious at time that outoftown shoppers were go ing elsewhere Ever since local merchants experienced this loss of support they have felt that they should have an open house and celebrate the opening of the new Main St Last week the Chamber of Commerce called a meeting with representatives of community organiza tions It was agreed that Newmarket should have a Main St opening with a carnival atmosphere in which all businesses and organizations could take part A tentative date was set for September Newmarket is becoming more aware that it needs the support of its neighbors It Is hoped that the plan ners will receive the support and cooperation of all organizations business and industry Should the event be successful it might develop into an annual feature in the form of a fall fair WHISTLE HAPPY The morning factory whistle which blows once a few minutes before seven and a second time at seven oclock was silent last week during factory holidays in Newmarket The whistle which may be of no concern or value to a great percentage of the townspeople is none theless a part of everybodys life in the community un less he is a particularly sound sleeper One Newmarket citizen said last week that the absence of the whistle was a blessing We wonder what exactly can be said in favor of the whistle Certainly there are many citizens who dont need to be roused by a whistle Many of them dont start to work until am And if the wind is in the right direction on a sum mers morn one is almost blown out of bed by the morning blast As for factory workers who must be at work at seven see little value in the whistle If they are not awake by the time the whistle blows they are too late for work anyway Why wake everybody up at am There may be a good reason that we have not thought of Besides the poor fellow who rises at am has no whistle to wake him every morning NO BEER AND RAZOR BLADES Listeners along the CBCs TransCanada

may indicate viril ity a certain group of British doctors claim Slim and I noted an announcement in the prints that the British medical profession says there is a new evidence that baldness and virility go hand in hand The magazine Family published by the British Medi cal association stepped Into a current London newspaper con troversy over what makes men bald and what they should do about It It made these points There Is no cure for ordinary baldness There la little hope there ever will be a cure There is reason to believe that bald men are more likely to be virile than those who keep their hair The magazine told of research carried out in the anatomy de partment of the Start Medical Centre in New York where thickthatched men known to be lacking in male sex hor mones immediately develop first signs of baldness after get ting gland treatments And look at here noted Slim it says that of two men sharin the same hereditary tendency toward baldness the more masculine would almost invariably lose his hair while the one with less active glands From the Files of had a greater chance of keepin his So what I said So I guess all the best men is bald ones said I have a sneaking suspicion I said And whats that Slim I have a suspicion that every one of those doctors which made this claim Is bald Slim smiled Yeah Til bet right They should have put them on television Cant ye sec a panel of doctors round a table that baldness is a sign of virility and every one of the doctors is bald headed That would be one that would at least have the appearance of being biased I agreed And it goes on to say that the doctors offer no hope for baldness Slim noted Dr J Primmer a Scottish special ist supports the theory that scalp treatment has made little progress since the days when hopeful hairless swabbed their pates with ash of frogs snails mixed with leeches and onions Why them doctors Is about their baldness A self complacent I agreed 25 and 50 Years Ago August The first
