Mio Net Paid Circulation 9,240 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1946 Average Per Issue FOR OCTOBER Synchronized Observance Following the Remembrance Day ceremonies here on Monday not a few residents of the city have commented on the apparent lack of synchronization of the period of silence. They report that one whistle would sound and a few moments later another would chime in with the result that those not holding a watch in their hand were unable to gauge the passage of time. How much more solemn it would be if all clocks and watches were synchronized before next year's celebration so that the period of silence would be uniform across the city. It should not be difficult to do this if all industries, stores and business places as well as citizens generally set their watches by the time signals given at regular intervals over * the radio. The "Royal" Opens Resuming an illustrious career which was temporarily interrupted by the war, the Royal Winter Fair re-opened yesterday at the Coliseum in Toronto and bids fair to surpass all previous records for excellence of its livestock, horses and other exhibits. ' Attracting exhibits from all sections of the Dominion, the "Royal" is looked upon as the premier show of its kind in Canada. There is to be found there the best in every line of farm endeavor while the program of special events is everything that could be asked for by an exacting clientele. Of particular interest to residents of Ontario County is the fact that William A. Dryden of Maple Shade Farm, Brooklin, is General Manager again this year. With a splendid background as a farmer and livestock breeder he has given of his wide experience to make the show a success. His many friends we are sure join with us in tendering him an accolade of praise for a job well done. Did Wonderful Work Too much praise cannot be given to that noble group of people who made up the personnel of the Citizens' War Ser- vices Committee and who during the past seven years gave unstintingly of their time and energies to make life more happy for members of the armed forces, their families and dependents. : Formed in 1939, the Committee recently held its final meeting and turned over the balance of the funds in its treasury to the Community Chest Fund from which it had received assistance. 'A feature of the meeting was the review , of the Committee's activities presented by Mrs. R. S. Mc- Laughlin, president since its inception, which dealt compre- hensively with the many and varied activities of the Committee. While the Committee was active in many endeavors we like to think that one of its most appreciated services was the party it gave each Christmas season for the children of servicemen. A tree, entertainment and all that goes to make the Christmas season what it is were provided, and there is no doubt but that these parties alleviated in some measure at least the absence of the head of the family. Now that its work is completed citizens of Oshawa should accord the Committee a well-merited vote of thanks for a job well done. ; Another New Thrilling Adventure Strip for The Daily Times-Gazette Readers RIP KIRBY By Alex Raymond An outstanding adventure strip now running in the leading daily newspapers of Canada and the United States. STARTING NEXT MONDAY IN THE TIMES-GAZETTE 3 e Other Editors TIME TO SETTLE IT (Chatham Daily News) The Chatham City Council has decided to arrange for the people at the December elections, to say whether or not they want Daylight Saving Time.

SUMMING UP OTTAWA (Hamilton Spectator) Politically influenced channels of information are poison. Even if the politician could properly ad- just and control those channels-- which they can't--they should keep out of such fields and get back to things they are flagrantly neglect- ing at the present time. The pres- ent crop at Ottawa has shown it has no real grasp of the crucial impertance of a free press and a free radio, WELL EXPRESSED (The Farmer's Advocate) Some hired men can express themselves better at a silo filling than on the platform, and on a re: cent occasion one was heard to re- mark: "If some of those city. guys who are complaining about the price of milk would take a turn at pitching 12-foot corn with heavy ears on it, they would soon stop grouching." ASYLUM FOR THE SANE (Malcolm W. Bingay, in The Detroit Free Press) The trouble with our thought processes is that we think of the hour instead of the year; of the year instead of the generation. We consider the wave and not the ocean. Thus it is that we blame everything on the last war. We even blame the present vogue of making insanity the topic of new books, plays and movies. We are so ccm- pletely immersed in insanity that there should be a movement start- ed to build an asylum for the sane. HIGH PRICE OF COWS ° (London Free Press) It is the opinion of Hon, T. L. Kennedy, provincial minister of agriculture, that if the present large-scale export of dairy cows from Ontario continues the dairy industry of Ontario will be seri- ously and adversely affected. Com~ menting on a report from the Kitchener district that some stock farmers and dairymen were dis- turbed by this export he offered figures to illustrate his point. In 1939 Ontario exported 345 milk cows. In 1946 the total export figure, was 4,415. "That means," he said, "that about 800 farmers have given up dairying completely . . . Dairy- ing and livestock are the lifeblood of farming in this province." In Woodstock in the heart of the great dairying County of Oxford, a similar fear was expressed by E. Day, manager of one of the large dairies there. He declared that some shippers to his dairy were now below their normal quota of milk. "They cannot resist prices now be- ing offered by the American buy- ers," he declared. But up in Strate ford there does not appear to be the same alarm. There, the feeling is that the high prices paid by the Americans are a boon to the farmer, that actually, they are encouraging breeders to develop better stock. In the past year or two United States buyers, Mexican and South American buyers have entered the Southwestern Ontario area for dairy cows. They have offered fabulous prices, particularly for the Hol- steins with their large milk produc- tion. To a lesser degree they have done the same thing with the beef cattle, but in that case there has been no danger of the depletion of herds, possibly because the supply bases are England and Scotland and the herds are still large and of high quality. The crux of the situation is the attitude of the Ontario breeder, whether he takes a long or a short- range view of his business. If he looks at it from the long-range standpoint he will keep enough high type animals to insure continuance of his products. If he takes the attitude that money in hand today is better than animals at a lower price a few years from now he will destroy the usefulness of his herd. There is no evidence that Ontario breeders are selling their founda- tion stock or cutting their herds so far that they will not be able to continue to breed the best type. There is however, the danger that many dairy farmers by getting rid of too many cows may reduce the milk output of their herds. This is what the commercial dairies com- plain about. The remedy for such | & situation would be higher prices | for milk, in itself a new headache for both the Government and the consumer. The Ontario breeder is too sane to cut his herds beyond the point of profitable production, even in these days of labqr shortage. We do ngt believe there is any pres- | ent. danger of livestock herds being | dangerously depleted in Ontario, at least to the extent that they can- not continue to produce high type dairy animals. But there might be a reduction in milk output. ® A Bible Thought God's final word--"God, Who at sundry times and In divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son." {Heb. 1:1,2.) --Bishop in the St. Louis Star-Times e Biggest Show" rj ' 1 e 25 Years Ago The Town Council instructed its engineer to prepare plans for the complete sewering of Westmount.
