DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for OCTOBER 11,023 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1950 'Well-Merited Tribute The tribute paid to the late William A. Dryden, of Brooklin, by the unveiling by . the Governor-General of Canada of a plaque _ in his memory in the rotunda of the Royal Winter Fair offices, was well merited. The _ sentence from its inscription "A friend to . the farmer and breeder" expresses, in a _ brief sentence, the life work of this great Ontario County agriculturist, who, during his lifetime, exemplified all that can be " woven into these words. While the memorial plaque pays special tribute to his great contribution to the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair as its first presi- dent and its managing director for thirteen years, the memory of William A. Dryden will be revered on much broader grounds. He was an acknowledged leader in every- thing that would be of benefit to Canadian agriculture, and his sphere of influence ex- tended across the whole Dominion of Canada. The ceremony at which the plaque was unveiled by His Excellency the Governor- General was a brief ong, but it was impres- sive, and was made more so by the gather- ing of leading agriculturists, including the federal and provincial ministers of agricul- ture, and others whose names are household words in agricultural circles. It must have been gratifying to Mrs. Dryden and the members of her family to be present and note the Dominion-wide character of the tribute being paid to the distinguished hus- band and father. The plaque in the Royal Winter Fair ro- tunda will stand as a memorial to a great son of Ontario County as long as these build- ings stand, and even after his generation has passed away, his name will live on as the . man whose genius and foresight brought the Royal Winter Fair into being. 'Huge Iron Development Announcement of the formation of a company prepared to invest a sum of * $200,000,000 on the development of the Labrador-Quebec deposits of iron ore places * this project almost in the fabulous stage. It is the greatest mining venture ever under- taken in the Dominion of Canada, and in- + volves not only the opening up of the mines, but the builaing of railroads, and of mining "and handling facilities for the huge ore pro- » duction which is anticipated. ' In view of the gradual dwindling of reserves of ore in the Mesabi range in Min- nesota, the development of the iron ore " resources. of Labrador and Quebec is a . matter of great importance and significance % to both Canada and the United States. For . this reason, some of the largest steel com- . panies in the United States are taking a ; keen interest in the project, and are accept- ing much of the financial responsibility for it. The bulk of the $200,000,000 of capital to be expended in opening up and operating the fields will come from these United States companies, which are doubtless look- ing to it for future supplics of ore. At | present there are in sight over 400,000,000 : tons of high grade open pit ore, with pros- "pects of even larger additional tonnage. With steel requirements of the whole world growing by leaps and bounds, par- ticularly in the interests of defence pro- grams, it is vital that these great Canadian resources should be made available at the earliest possible date. The fact that Can- ada has these resources, and that they are located in areas formerly desolate and uninhabited, lends itself to the development of new communities and new centres of population in the Labrador-Quebec zone. So that Canada will benefit to a very marked degree, not only from the ore made avail- able for its own steel industries, but also from the wealth which will be created there to add still further to the buoyancy of the national economy, ns A -- ah Director. Need For More Farmers Hon. P, M. Dewan, former Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, has gone away out on a limb in a statement made this week regarding the need for more people on the farms of Ontario. Mr. Dewan does not like to see farm people drifting away to the cities. He fears a decadence of farm life, and a decline of farm production which would be disastrous to the Canadian way of living. But he goes even farther when he says; "The farmer is a stronger and more vigorous type of citizen than the city dweller. Farm people , are more religious and God-fearing. The average of churchgores among them is much higher. Con- sequently, if the farm population is persistently reduced, the moral strength of a country is re- duced. And the population becomes less hardy and virile, If you were to take a city and build a wall about it, even though it were continually supplied with food, the population would die out within four generations." We feel that Mr. Dewan is needlessly con- cerned about the strength and virility of the inhabitants of our cities. In fact, his fears about a drift of population from the rural areas to the cities would seem to be in direct negation to what he says about lowering the moral fibre of the nation: by having people leave the farms. For over half a century now, there has been a steady flow of young farm people to the towns and cities. The farms have consistently produced a surplus of people, and since mechanization has ke- come dominant in agriculture, there is not the same need for large families to operate the farms. That surplus moves to the cities and towns, and they bring with them their virility and their moral virtues. Therefore it would seem consistent to say that this steady influx of young folk from the farms is a splendid thing for the cities, and does not in any way weaken the physical or moral fibre of our citizenship as a whole.

(Prince Albert Herald) We were stopped on Central Ave. by » man who said: "I can see you are scared, or just plain too gutless, to publish my letter." And so, cringing and wincing miserably at having the state of our innards exposed in such a public fashion, we returned to the office and dug out the masterpiece submitted by this brave exponert of the dangerous life, Guess what? Yes, that's right. The heroic gent who deplored our lack of courage was himself with- out sufficient of it to sign the letter he sent us. Until he revealed himself through a chance meeting, we had no idea who it was wrote the letter in ques- tion. o A Bit of Verse @ - SUBLIMATION Is there a secret sustenance in stone? Are colors sealed in cells of common clay? Does solitude distil a fragrance known Only to winds that breathe it far away? Consider the searching roots of desert plants That find a way of life where most things die; They sublimate a thorny circumstance By opening bright blossoms to the sky.

The Blind Men and the Elephant or AN IMPERIALIST Looking Around The World By DEWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press. News Analyst Arrival of American troops at the Yalu River--boundary between Korea and Manchuria--provides a dramatic prelude to the scheduled appearance of Chinese Communist representatives before the United Nations at Lake Success next weekend to argue allegations of aggression against the United States, The specific mission of the en- voys {is to substantiate their charges of United States aggression in connection with Formosa, Chin- ese Nationalist base, However, an effort is to be made by U.N. mem- bers to include a discussion of Korea, and some observers are speculating whether there might even be a chance for reaching an agreement with Peiping regarding the Korean situation. Such a hope obviously involves wishful thinking, especially since the Chinese have refused to dis- cuss the Korean issue. However, any legitimate effort towards peace is a worthy pursuit. The ar- rival of American forces at the Yalu River might provide the basis for introducing the subject. Moscow in Background Allied authorities in the Far East feels sure that Moscow is the in- fluence behind the Chinese inter- vention, and that the Russian scheme is to keep the Korean war going in order to weaken the west- ern powers, especially the U.S. Red China is playing along. Moscow has no partners--only satellites. The imponderable of the situa- tion now is just what designs Peiping has, If she is mainly con- cerned over her Yalu boundary and those electric plants, she might make a bargain for herself at Lake Success. We shall see when the Chinese delegation gets into action. County Boys Show in King's Guineas Class Nine boys from Ontario County made a very creditable showing in the Annual King's Guineas Class held at the Royal Winter Fair, on November 20. With a total of 159 calves being exhibited, three of the Ontario County calves were in the {first prize group, five in the second prize group, and one in the third prize group. The winner of the King's Guin- eas was an Angus calf shown by Alex McIntosh, from the Wellington County Baby Beef Club. The reserve championship went to "a Shorthorn calf exhibit- ed by Miss Judy Merry, a member of the Halton County Baby Beef Club. This was the largest King's Guineas Class ever held at the Royal, and there were many out- standing animals in each of the beef breeds. The judge was Mr. J. Charles Yule, from Calgary, Al- berta The following is a list of ex- hibitors from Ontario County in the King's Guineas Class: Jim Blackburn, Uxbridge; Arthur Rich- ardson, Ashburn; Tom Duff, Port Perry; Hugh Beird, Blackwater; Carl ' Fairman, Blackwater; Ted Westlake, Beaverton; Earl Windatt, Beaverton; Jim Gordon, Canning- ton; Harvey Chambers, Canning- ton, Mac's Musings Greatness in any field Cannot be achieved without Hard and earnest labor And constant striving Towards the goal which Has been set as the mark For high endeavor, The other day we saw At the Royal Winter Fair A mere lad of thirteen, Received and honored By the Governor-General Of Canada because he had Won the coveted title Of wheat king of the world. It seems amazing that So young and slight a lad In his thirteen years Could acquire the skill And knowledge necessary To grow the finest wheat Of all that was shown From the fertile farms Of the whole Dominion At that great show. Yet it did not happen Just by accident, but The honor was earned Because of that lad's Concentration on learning All there was to know About growing good wheat. Behind his achievement Was the work he did In his own grain club, And the lessons he learned In growing good wheat To compete with that Of other boys and girls, He did not win the crown By spending all his time, In fun and amusement, But because he had set Al goal Io his labors worked unceas! To attain it. ey That boy's achievement Should be an incentive To other young people To fix their goals in life, And work with constancy Of purpose to reach the mark They have set for themselves.

All Rights Reserved | History Keeps Proving Him Right (Stratford Beacon-Herald) Last July when a U.S. Senate Committee tried to ignore Bernard Baruch's advice about the need for stand-by controls over prices and wages, it wasn't the first time that someone had ignored his words of counsel. Unfortunately for the world, says an article in the December issue of Pageant Mag:i~ine, the people who seek advice from Baruch too fre- quently fail to heed it. But he never has to say, "I told you 50," because history has the habit of saying it for him, To point this up, Pageant has listed some of the advice Baruch has given in the past thirty years --and what the outcome was. In 1937, for example, Franklin D, Roosevelt asked Baruch's opinion ahout U.S. relations with Japan. He told the President he thought the United States should quarantine Japan; that it should refuse to buy gold from her, and refuse to sell her steel or scrap iron. The na- tion learned later what sound ad- vice that was. Again, in 1938, at the request of the President, Baruch gave his opin- lon of the world situation. He told "F.D.R.." that the U.S. should build a two-ocean Navy and immediately mobilize a mechanized force of at least 750,000. Unfortunately, the country didn't get around to doing that until after Pearl Harbor, Because Bernard ch has long been considered an oracle on finan cial affairs Alexander Woollcott, in 1929, asked him: "What's a good tip on -the stock market?" Replied the prophet: "If I were you I'd put my money in 4 per cent bonds." A few weeks later came*® the 1929 crash, and Woollcott lost in the stock market. In 1937 Raymond Moley, a favor- ed member of the Roosevelt "Brain Trust," asked Baruch's advice about whether he should attend the Lone don Conference. According to Page eant, Baruch said: "Don't leave your nice warm bed, because when you come back you'll find someone else in it." Moley ignored this, and went to the Economic Conference in Lon- don. When he returned, he found himself 'out of the Brain Trust. Bernard Baruch has given away more free advice than Nostradamus, Dorothy Dix and Mr. Anthony come bined and the 80-year-old prophet without . portfolio has had an ime pressive batting average. It's not his fault, concludes the Pageant article, that people are morc apt to ask for advice than to heed it. Report From Westminster By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Nov. 22--(CP)--Parlia- ment 'decides tomorrow whether am parks connected with th: 1951 Festival of Britain shall remain open on Sundays, and the vote is expected to be close. The issue arises on a bill author- izing Sunday opening of the Fest- ival next year. This is expected to receive second reading, but political tensions may result from a clause in the bill which would legalize a Sunday "Fun Fig ff Soplete with -go-rounds and other carnival attractions. Important elements of the Labor Government are reported determin- ed that the bill should go through as scheduled. But there are strong Sabbatarian influences within the party and forecasts are that Labor will invoke its "conscience clause" exempting rebels from party dis- cipline. Thus, although the government will issue a three-line whip for the debate, members who cannot support the bill for religious or ethical reas- ons will be considered to have acted in good faith. Votes cast against the bill would be considered more seri- ously than an abstention, but even then it seems doubtful whether ex- treme disciplinary measures would be taken. Conservative opposition may be strong. Three amendments have already been tabled, the latest urg- ing the house to refuse second read- ing to a bill which, it is claimed, gives Festival organizers privileges and immunities not enjoyed by other sections of the community. Among non-parliamentary groups opposed is the Lord's Day Observ- ance Society. Secretary H. H. Mar- tin, who announced recently that he proposes to try to implant on Paris his ideas for a more-subdued Sunday, told reporter his society opposes Sunday opening not only of the Fun Fair but "of the entire ex- hibition." On the other hand, the Sunday Freedom Association, which claims a membership of 200,000, suggests that it be left to the individual whether any part of the Festival should be visited on Sunday. In a spirited defence of Sunday opening, H. L. French, chairman of the Festival Gardens, wrote to the Times that nowadays an amuse- ment park isn't as noisy as it used to be, there isn't a house within 300 yards of the site, and anyway other amusement parks in Britain do business on Sunday. Defeat of the bill would be a setback to Herbert Morrison, Lord President .of the Council and long associated with plans to make the festival a symbol of British recovery. Last week a member of parliament accidentally called Morrison "Lord Festival", and the Deputy Prime Minister seemed to like the tag. © 30 Years Ago Mayor John Stacey entertained members of the town council and other friends at a bear dinner, us- ing the bear which he shot while on a hunting trip.
