is not likely to acquire more industry without effort it is also true that unalterable factors like geographical location natural resources at hand or the superior offers of other municipalities may prevent an industry from locating no matter how great an effort is made The following editorial in the Fergus NewsRecord ex plains how it can happen One town north of Fergus is jubilant these days but another is mourning a lost opportunity It con cerns a new industry the same one in both cases The Palmerston Observer has this opening paragraph at the top of the first column on the front page last week Rather saddening news reached this past week It was saddening to all citizens who are looking for an industry to locale here and particularly disheartening to that small group of men who have Spent considerable time interviewing officials of this company The letter writes finis to negotiations that started over a year ago between officials of the Yale Rubber Manufacturing Company of Sandusky Michi gan and citizens of Palmerston The decision really should not have come as a shock to Palmerston since it had been announced with big headlines in The Kincardine News several weeks earlier The company had also been negotiating with Owen Sound It will employ to men by Of and probably within two years Why did a firm from the United States pick KiiKardine rather thfln That is of interest to alt other towns the district seeking industries and what town isnt In this case some new reasons enter in and they might be important Kincardine had an empty factory which could be bought more cheaply than a new one could be built Alongside this factory and beside the CNR property close to the lake the town had bought an additional six acres for industrial sites Those are important but not unique The company will use much oil in its pro cesses and much of raw material will come from the Polymer plant at The parent company at Sand usky Michigan is almost directly across Lake Huron from Kincardine The company will use water trans port bringing raw materials by boat Kincardine has a fair harbor though the approach between two long piers isnt too easy in a storm We used to know Kin cardine in our youth and the arrival of a steamship was quite an event It is doubtful if anything larger than a fishing boat or launch has used the harbor recently This could be the first hint of a new trend A few of these old harbor towns have hopefully and opti mistically awaiting the completion of the St Lawrence Seaway Kincardine did not have to wait that long Its old harbor has helped to land an industry The lake at Kincardines front door was another factor The rubber company needs millions of gallons of water per month to cool the moulds couldnt supply that At Kincardine the company can build its own pumping station draw water from the lake and return it again Fergus has lost prospects to towns that were closer to the new Ford plant at Oak- ville or had some similar geographic advantage But Kincardine seems to be the first northern town to cap italize on its location on Lake Huron OH OH1 COME COME LOOK LOOK Public school children cant read because no one has ever shown them how consultant Dr Rudolph Flesch warns parents in the current issue of Macleans Magazine Our children dont read Andersons Fairy Tales any more he says or Mark Twain or the Ara bian Nights or Louisa May or anything interest ing or worthwhile because they cant claims that first and second graders in al most all US and most Canadian public schools are not taught to read at all as shown by the fact that there is scarcely a single book outside their classroom that they can manage to read by themselves Instead he says they are taught to memorize words in their readers Flesch contends that the schools could develop per fect readers at the end of second grade if they returned to the old system of teaching the child what each letter stands for instead of having him memorize complete words Under modern teaching technique he says children are given readers with an endless and senseless repetition of words presented in a sort of strungout prose with no resemblance to normal English He calls this an Oh oh Come come Look look language With the article also is presented the oppo site point of view expressed by two Toronto public school reading consultants Marian llarvie and Phyllis Todd They claim that the phonetic method advocated by has been discarded because it failed to do a good job of teaching children to read They claim that children now are reading more books than ever before and that they are reading more efficiently When it comes to teaching methods we are pre pared to let someone else tell us which are best but when the authorities cannot agree the average parent like ourselves is distressed The modern teaching technique employing tho Oh oh Come come Look look lan guage may be good but it is disturbing to find that many children including some of high school age cannot use such practical aids as the telephone directory or the dic tionary because they dont know the order of the bet Dairy Farmer Tit fop Six Inches A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men- Anon hold an nual Now Wats party at his box mansion the railway tracks last night and of any importance was There Oh it was a wonderful night the air was w6pM walked up path snow under our crunched and we looked up the long wisp of smoke going straight up from into the starry night Shins lack really looked cozy Slim had the usual good food nd but wait The same thing happened last week And these opening lines sound too familiar the campaigns and he told more before we could get him stopped Slim got up and made a speech in which he said Ya know about New ami friendships that makes you reflect on friends we are gathered up on this here occasion to welcome in the New Year with the fond and cherried hop that the bonds which holds hem friendships wont git split Heres to friendships espe cially among kindred spirits like the present company And everybody shouted hur ray am hear hear and here here Tears welted up in eyes of Maggie the bookkeeper and Well way last week it she said that in the new year she would gladly submit to an office expense account policy was Shuts annual Christmas ears par- and last night it was Stints annual New Yon see just once a year Christinas Slim always has the office bunch to a big party at his own place And just once a year before New Years Slim has the same bunch to another big parly The eats were up to usual standard and they included my favorites pickled herring in sauce raw ground beefsteak on bread with slice of Spanish onion and caviar paste Anybody of any importance was there from office staff which included everyone We nil had a grand time sing ing Old tangs Sign as Slim would spell it and we clasped hands in big circle and vow ed that old friendships would never die which reminded the printer of a story but mind us limited to cents a week But it was a grand ges ture on her part No doubt our little editorial continent last week had some thing to do with it The sports editor vowed that he would use only half as many cliches in his writeups in 1055 Slim made him prom that instead of saying that there was a rinklong safari to put the biscuit into the twine cottage rather ho would say that there was an incursion into Iroquois country during which foray a blow was struck at enemy by Smith who dis charged the btaclc rubber wad into twine vitals of the enemy assisted by Jones Except for the boss other people made various resolu tions and we sang old songs All In all it was best Slim New Come Saturday morning we will start our chores make speech to our cows the only living creatures these days who will listen to us without inter ruption something like this case you have forgotten being beasts of a different level of intellect we cannot hurt their feelings by calling them dumb today id New Yeara day As far as you are con cerned you are till brand new animals having just been taken Into inventory We have for gotten your past actions per- forma ami all your foibles allergies and idiosyncrasies these are big words but they mean is what you have left done and left undone You can start a new year and do your best We will forget those who kicked and those who hold their milk and ones who have been rather temperamental about getting in calf We will forgive those even who have come to this under false pretenses carrying beautiful pedigrees full of promises and udders empty of milk if only you mend your ways Instead of reading the sales catalogues and clippings from the farm you will your waking hours to con sumption of hay to roaring calves and chewing your cuds We would also like to point out to you the deep satisfaction that comes from a full pail of milk and wo must tell you that a full pail of milk is much nicer when observed in a container than when it Is seen spilled on the floor We wilt also promise wo will continue to treat you the way we expect you will be have Wo will be gentle in will hurry to take it off and we will not stop with a visiting neighbor to settle prob lems of world while the full pail keeps hanging on your tender teats We will promise to get to the feed mill in time always to have feed for you and we will not keep changing the tasto of your meals by listening to every Tom Dick or Harry of a feed salesman We will also promise to make a better job haying and will not ask you after next haying season to eat sticks of wood slightly green its hay or hay that has been soaked until It is coarse si raw We will as a matter of union contract give you good pas ture properly fertilized and lush if you will to eat it instead of wandering around in green gross that is long and luscious to us We will try to be In good humor we admit that some times wo have taken it out on you when people governments and farm organisations have made us despair and wo will come to you to be comforted when others who should know better and whose intellects are higher according to their press clippings are acting like no mean free martin of a stag would Thus you and we will be both happy living In comfort able quarters eating decent feed and raising nice families with reasonable frequency We will feed other people too and hope that when these other people distributors consumers ami others make their Year speeches to their dumb beasts they will remember with the same kindness am think of them And so New Year to ell he heard in Italy during
