Editor EDITORIAL NOTES The Roosevelt refrime has annouuc- cd that it will he obliged to Lorrow some ten billion dollars to carry on its N.R.A. profrram. This amount o: money is difficult to realize( but it will probably be well understood before taxpayers have finished paying it back. .Somebody said this sort of thing was too much like trying t' pull yourself out of a mudhole by the boot straps, and the picture appears to be becoming more -vivid every day • * • There are those who think that the deposition of Mr. Sinclair as the Leg- islature leader in the Reform grou^ was very inappropriate. Those who were responsible for his humiliation probably never heard the old adage: "Never swap horses while crossing a stream." As a matter of fact there appears to have been too manj leaders in the Ontario Reform party. all bent on getting rid of the othei fellow. There is a lingering suspic- ion that recent events will work towards the return of the Henry gov- ernment once more and not as the Hepburn faction anticipates.

I. GRAHAM, President. Will Fle.sherton have a fall fair this year? It is pretty nearly time to hold the annual meeting and the mat- ter should be discussed. It would bi. just too bad if we were to lose the fair altogether. A little cnthuslRS'T Would put it on its feet again. With the dawn of the New Yeai comes an opportunity, once again, of forming new resolutions and of new habits of life and conduct, and of fostering new hopes for the twelve months immediately ahead. The glad anticipation with which every- one faces the Ney Year seems to indicate that the year just ending has had its failures and that the New Year holds possibilities. In the small town shop and in the large departmental store of the city, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, a certain period in January is usually set aside for "stock-taking." In less competitive times, it was the custom to cIo.se the store for a day or more, and indicate to the buying public that "stock-taking" was in progress. Dur- ing this period, old accounts were written off, and everything was put in readiness for the business of the coming year. It was a fresh start. And so it should be in the business of health. The New Year offers an opportunity for reflecting and for taking an inventory of what must al- ways be man's choicest possession. What h,3s Ueen the effect of thi.> strenuous days of 1033 on the human jconomy? Have we, by reason of worries and anxieties, of handicap.^ previously unknown, or as a result of environmental influences, drawn too heavily upon our physical reserve, and so are entering the New Year with a handicap? The prevalent attitude of regarding health as describing a body free from pain or even a mild degree of bodily discomfort is fundamentally unsound Disease frequently is insidious in its onset and takes a variable time to declare itself in its true colors. This is seen in the case of malignant dis- ease where pain may bo and usually is a late symptom. Other degenera- tive conditions, such as heart disease, hardening of the arteries, and Bright's Disease, must be diagnosed early if a proper rule of life and dietry regime are to be effective in controlling the distressing symptoms which may later completely incapaci- tate the victim. Bason, in his essay on "Delay,'' might well have been speaking of disease when ho states that "There is surely no greater wisdom than well to time the beginnings and onset of things." This is what is being accomplished everywhere through the regular per- iodic health examination which is a recognized factor in the preservation of health and in securing the early treatment of disease. fr«*-X~S">'K'<><{*<«*«>««>*****«>«*** j Other Paper's | I . Opinions . | TAX COLLECTOR GOOD IJ^VESTMENT (Hanover Post) "A man whose taxes are overdue and can make payments of some kind to reduce the amount, even if he can afford only a dollar or two at a time, will find himself a welcome visitor at the city hall," says the Toronto Star. This is true everywhere, though some ratepayers seem to feel hesitant to go to the treasurer with such small payments. It may be that a full- time tax collector, making personal :all."., could do much to induce people to meet their obligations by instal- ments until the whole amount is Icared up. Collingwood, we notice. lius collected nearly 40 per cent, more in t:ix arrears this year than last, and th'> Enterprise-Bulletin makes special mention of the work of the tax collec- tor, saying: "The Barrio Examinei and The Hanover Post are pointing tc the tax collecting system in their re- spective towns as the weak link in their municipal machinery. Both ad- vocate the appointment of an all-year- round tax collector. It was the same in Collingwood, until this move was made, and never has the official been so useful and so important as in rec- ent years. With the taxpayers find- ing great difficulty meeting then l)ayments and recent court decisions as to seizures, rents and distress ac- tions making the situation even more complicated, he is especially valuable, particularly if endowed with good judgment backed by a fair acquaint ance with the municipal law. Did Collingwood not have a collector this year, for example, the aggregate of outstanding taxes would undoubtedly t)t much greater. The official has proven a good investment." Live Stock Report Cattle prices dropped on the Tor- onto stock market Tuesday, with butchtr cows registering a loss of 25c Butchers slipped 10c and other grades barely held steady. Dull trading in- creased the holdover from 300 to BOO head. The sheep market closed strong with lambs steady. Hogs lacked on a 10c to 15c gain to Mon- day's 15e advance. Calves closed fi»-m.

SPREAD WAS TOO MUCH Many a motorist who has driven over the icy roads during the past week has discovered how little cim- trol a driver has over a car when the rear end decides to overtake the front wheels.

J. Carlyle, manager of the Prince of Wales' ranch near High River, .Mta., was very much annoyed when journeying to Toronto to attend the Royal Winter Fair, to find that a siiloin steak in a dining car cost him $1.50. His annoyance rose from tliL fact that beef cattle were selling at two cents per pound on the hoof. He was told by the head waiter on the train that 42 cents per pound wa.-: paiil for sirloin, in proof of which ho was .shown the bill. Prof. Carlylo feels that the spread In each case is far too muih, in which view he will have the wholehearted approval nt the general public. Many anothei agriculturist travelling by train to the Royal iWinter Fair no doubt had the same experience. In Toronto taxes so far this year are $900,000 ahead of the same date for last year. The degree of cheer- fulness with which they were paid remained about the same.

Even the government beli«vef ia Santa Claus. It has set apart 6000 square miles up north, as a grazing spot for his reindeer. Doctot in Simcoe says that in driy- ing 15 miles on an icy road his cat speedometer registered 22 miles. It is to be hoped the doctor's patients were doing better than he, for he was barely holding his own. The report is current that ther« is to be another cut in the rate of interest, not in the rate charged those who get bank loans but to depositors. iWe can name several in this town and copimunity who will not be affected ty this notice. The gum-chewing girl And the cud-chewing cow Are greatly alike And yet different, somehow Just what is the difference . . Oh, yes, I know now â€" There's a calm thoughtful look On the face of the cow. Fishermen caught an octopus which measuTed 20 feet across, taking it off the Newfoundland coast. It is better, we believe, for the fishermen to have taken the octopus than for the octopus to have taken the fishermen. Cars used by the Board of Educa- tion in Toronto cost $69,000 in a year. A Board of Education there, must be something like a car. It is not so much the initial investment that counts â€" it's the upkeep.

If so, you are to be pitied. We don't be- lii've there is anything more pathetic than the man or woman who is con- tinually getting "hurt" at somethinj? or other that has been said, or is thought to have been said. This thing- of wearing your feelings on your coat-sleeve is a real handicap in this life, and it' you arc unfortunntp enough to be one of thi.-; kind, you are in for a tough time of it in your journey along life's tempestuous way. Being too .sensitive is a real liabil- ity. There are some i)eople wlui uouUl blu.-h if they saw the bare let,'s iif a piano and go into a fit of despon- lency if one of their best friends played an innocent joke on them, rhey are really to be pitied. If they could only stop to think that people don't play prank.s on their enemies they would not bo so easily offended. WIXTKR HOUSING OF SHEEl' .Sheep do not require exiiensive and warm buildings. They do, however, appreciate a dry, roomy shed well protected against winds, well ventil- ated and free from draught. Do not crowd them in one pen. Twenty to twenty-five ewes do best together Furthermore, a sheep requires from twelve to fifteen square feet of floor spa^'e and one foot of feeding space. Door.s should be of good width to allow free access to and from the pens. Narrow doors are often the cause of abortion. Pregnant ewe? need a yard to exercise in. Force them to walk ^by feeding hay outside in good weather.
