WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1932 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE A REPLY In reply to the item in the Flesh- crton Advance last week. I want people to understand that we do not owe the Township Council one cent and as for the parcel which the U. F W. O. Club brought, it was returned some weeks Ago, to the same party who brought it. I think the people made a mistake and brought the par- cel to the wrong house at Rock Mills That is why there has been so much broadcasting done. SAM FISHER.

WHEN DO WE "GO DOUGHNUT' The doughnut or super-balloon tire is now hovering in the background ol the automotive picture. While en- gineers are experimenting and the known benefits of the large sized tire are being weighed, standardiza- tion of size is already under discus- sion by manufacturers. Seven sizes arc understood to have been approved by leading tire manufacturers. The smallest of the seven is 6.50x16 and the largest is 9.00x16. ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Boyce, 4th Line Artcmosin, wish to announce the en- gagement of their daughter, Beatrice Mar>>n to Mr. Kenneth Russell McKeo of Toronto, son of Mr. ana Mrx John W. McKee, 4th Line, Art- emisia, the marriage to take place early in June. \ Peril USE ',"-" ' -. IVORY WHEN you are building, is the best time to make your home safe from the damage fire can do.

Some of these will produce grain, while others are primarily for hay and pasture. Of these latter, only rarely will crops be found other than good old red clover, alsike, alfalfa, timothy or corn. It must seem curious to the aver- age person that one can count on the fingers of two hands the number of important crops that arc grown tc any extent as feed for live stock while, as a matter of fact, there are thousands of distinctly different kinds of grasses and legumes growing wild Surely some of these plants, which grow naturally, should be equally as , good or better than those which now ; occupy the fields. Undoubtedly there are still valu- able discoveries to be made, but before ; these can qualify as field crops they must pass a very vigorous test with respect to several important qualifi- cations. The truth is that exceed- ingly few wild plants can succeed as .ulttfvu'i >i crops. Many have been called, but few chosen. This is a case where the "Merit stystem' 1 works perfectly. Before a hay or pasture crop can ever become widely used it must be able to produce a satisfactory yield of hay or pasture and plenty of good seed; it must have good feeding qual- ity and be able to resist disease and compete with weeds. It must also be winter-hardy, drought resistent in serve areas, and able to mature seed in our comparativelyl short growing season. Not only do crops differ In these respects, but some varieties of the same crop are much more satis- factory than others. It is clear that accurate knowledge- is required to enable farmers to dwidt what to grow and how it should be grown. Thi's need is being supplied by the Dominion Experimental Farms throughout Canada, which are able to give this .service by virtue of their excellent facilities and wide exper- ience with farm requirements and var- ; ' tics of field crops. Plant breeders are always on the lookout for valu- able new plants and occasionally a disown- is made, as for example I Crested Wheat Grass in the Prairie] Provinces nr.d Reed Canary grass for oTt;:in conditions in Eastern Canada The standard crops, also, such a<s ulfa'fu. red clover and timothy art Ix-int: improved by selecting, testing and multiplying the seed from indi- vidual plants of special merit.

A PERSONAL MATTER Is Not Perfect Man Frank Irwin, editor of the Durham Chronicle quotes both statistics and "the woman in the case" to show that he is not a "perfect" man: "We can never pass for the 'perfect man.' Th<> othi->r day we read the spocifieaiionj. Among them was the requirement that one must be 5 feet 8 inches, have a waist of 31 in- ches, and weigh 1 -10 pounds. This was only part of the statistics. On checking up we found we were 5 feet 7 inches, weighed 185 pounds and had a waist line of 44 inches. We quit right there. We don't give a darn what the other specifications are. And so. we're not 'perfect," and once again the woman in the case was right. She had been tellinc us the same thing for the past twenty years or more. How in tarnation -an a fellow pose as "perfect" when he is the same distance around the fc.nhle as )the "statistics" sMls he should be around the waist"? [Kd.

Martin, assistant director, Crops and Market Branch, in a recent ad- dress to weed inspectors. Mr. Mar- tin recommended more extensive use of early after-harvest cultivation and summer fallow as a means of clean- ing up weedy fields. Practical farm- rs have found that sow thistle and similar perennial weeds can be con- trolled by cutting hay earlier than ii.-.iial, plowing the land immediately afterwards, and follow up with thorough cultivation during the re- inn ining part of the season.

The progress which has been achiev- ed during recent years in the conquest of disease has been made possible through the accumulation of scientific knowledge concerning the cause or manner of the spread of certain diseases. Diseases such as typhoid fever and cholera are practically i.ot-c\istent where water and milk supplies are safeguarded. Proper diet banishes scurvy and ricketts. We have avail- able the means whereby we can be successfully armed against smallpox and diphtheria. The application ot our knowledge of infant care has re- duced infant mortality. There are many diseases con?em- inp the cause of which we know little or nothing, and we are there- fore unable to ^prevent or cofeitroi them. We do know, however, how to treat some of these diseases suc- cessfully and so reduce the number of deaths which they cause. In gen- eral, it may be saiirl that such treat- ment must be given early in the course of the disease if it is to be of real value. Diseases which cannot be prevented but which can be cured by early adequclte treatment are entirely a personal matter. It rests with the individual to secure the treatment required early in the disease. It is necessary for each one to have suffi- cient understanding of these disease? because they are a personal matter, purely individual diseases. We notice that appendicitis Jakes an unnecessary toll of human lives year after year. The reason for this is failure to secure early treat- ment. The pain in the abdomen caused by appendicitis is not consid- ered to be of any significance, and, worst of all, it is often treated with a laxative, which leads to disaster. Cancer is another disease, which, in many cases, could be cured if treated early. It is because we fail to pay attention to sores which do not heal, to persistent or growing lumps, or unusual discharges or bleed- ing, or to chronic indigestion, that cancer cases so often come too late to the doctor's attention. Pain is a danger signal, and pain should never be disregarded. Ap- pendicitis causes pa-V, but cancer, (and this is the most important point) does not, as a rule, cause pain in its early stages, at the time when it may be cured by proper treatment. It is obvious that the respons.wil- ity in such cases rests with the indi- vidual. Neither the public health department nor the medical profes- sion can take the responsibility over. It is a personal matter, first and last. Securing New Teachers The Flesherton High School Board are advertising for three teachers to icplace the present staff, who were given notice a short time ago that their contracts had expired and that the board would be advertising for teachers. Why this action was nec- essary is unknown, as the report from the Inspector strongly advised the retaining of tke present staff. It does not seem to be that the action was taken through money matters as it is reported that the teachers in question would have taken a salary cut to conform to the present rate of salaries in other places.

The Greatest Legacy of the Canadian people to the next generation ...is life insurance When the Sun Life began business in 1871 life insurance in Canada was $13 per capita. TODAY it is $635 per capita. With one exception, Canadians are now the highest insured people in the world. The Sun Life has played a leading part in fostering this thrift in the Canadian people and in protecting Canadian homes. The rapid growth of the Sun Life is shown in the following table : ASSURANCE IN FORCE $404,000 $5,010,000 1891 $19,436,000 1901 $62400.000 1911 $164,578,000 1981 $536,718,000 $3,051,077,000 SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA Htd CMfici MONTREAL . , i.l**M*W <*.
