PAGE FOUR EDI TORJALS Provincial Parks Popular In aur issue of two weeks ago and again in this issue we are giving prom- inence to the land the government has purchased for a park at the south-west corner of Darlington Township along the shore of Lake Ontario. To show the papularity of the parks system being developed by the Ontario Lands and Forests Department we reprint the follaw- ing article from last week's Cobourg Sentinel-Star: Since the beginning of the season about 15,000 automobiles have entered Presqu'ile Provincial Park situated near Brighton. The Department of Lands and Forests have now set the price of the season ticket as one dollar. This permit not only aflaws entry ta Presq'ile Park, but also to every other Provincial park. No limit is set on the number of visits. The park now comprises about 2,000 acres whîch include the famous Western Beach, ideal for children. The area, how- ever, in which there are some 200 cottages and homes is now no longer part of the park, but reverted to the Village of Brighton although entrance still has ta be made through the park gates. îhortly, when the second trail has been completed, nature programs will be conducted by the staff. These will include conducted tours through the trails and will conclude with illustrated talks. It is our policy ta keep aur readers informed on ail that goes on in Bowman- ville and its vicinity. Hence we published the account of th e opening of the new sehool, which was contributed by the pastor of the Dutch cangregatian re- sponsible for this educational venture. We must admit, however, that we did not insert the article with any great amount of enthusiasm. Frankly we think he and they are making a mistake. It wouid have been better for these good people ta have thrown in their lot fully with their neighbours in the land they have made their home in the education of their children as in other matters. This is a free country ta be sure. They have complete freedom of warship. Their adults can follow to their hearts' content in their church services the list of doctrines mnentioned in the article - The Belgic Con- The Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association has been holding its 38th annual convention in Banff, Alberta, the first three days of this week. - The Statesman is a charter member of this Association gand intended ta have a representative at the convention, but due ta illness in the staff the reservation had ta be cancelled. Representatives of member news- papers from Newfoundland ta Vancouver Island meet each year ta discuss the salient problems f acing the industry, and ta greet old friends, and make new ones, in this unique fraternity of weekly newspaper publishers and editors. As has always been the case, many of the wives and children were present, for they are a part of "Canada's Biggest Family Party", as the CWNA convention has came ta be known, just as in so many instances they are active workers in the family newspaper. There are seriaus problems facing the weekly newspaper industry today. High wage leyels, canstantly rising cost of rnaterials and equipment, and a shortage of experienced workers are placing a very heavv demand on the productive and "Salute ta Women Wrho Work" is the theme for "Business Women's Week" be- ing observed by The Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, Sept. 22 ta 28. Such was the intro- ductory paragraph of a news release we received this week ta announce this im- portant event. It brought ta aur mind the expression which is often heard when girls are gaîng Generation of Softies Modern notions of welfarism have pro- duced some bizarre ideas about social prob- lems, states The Fort Erie Letter-Review. Latest example of this sort of thing is sug- gestion put forth by British Government advisory council that not-so-bad naughty youths who commit some lesser form of crime should be given time off from time in for misbehaviour. The social ly-con sciou s members of Britain's advisory council deplore such old-fashioncd terms as "laul and sentence". Instead, thcy would like to see prison terms referred to simply as "detention" and jails called "attendance centres" where inmates xiii be allowed their freedom in daytime and locked up only at night. Advisory council sas that lest lads in detention sffer from illusions of retro- gression and reg'Éard themselves as just b2inci "ke-pt in after school" every effort xiii be made ta make "attendance centres" lock as much as oossible like real prisons. It ail sounds as if xelfarism xvere produc- ing either a generation of softies or one of very confused people like the members of Britain's advisory council.

In their Sunday Schaols they can adapt this theology ta the needs and capacities of their children. They are free also ta set up a private school (government inspected) supported by voluntary contributions, while their school taxes go to another school. But we question their wisdom, and doubt the ulti- mate success of their undertaking. We do not like the idea of separatian. The apartheid policy enforced by the Boers, once their compatriots, is doing South Africa no good. Segregation is doing the Southern States no end of harm. The children of Bowmanville and vicinity cauld well have afforded ta con- tinue ta associate in the schools and accept the simple religiaus exercises and instruc- tion of aur Public School curriculum. management skills of publishers, who seek ta hold dawn costs as the alternative ta increasing advertising and subscription rates. Their problem becomes even more acute when, because of rapid growth of the communities they serve, they must enlarge their plant and equipment, placing a great strain on limited reserves. Such are the problems with which the CWNA conventions and the meetings of the provincial divisions of the Association must deal. In forums and general meet- ings, delegates attempt ta find solutions and reach decisions which it is hoped wîll work for the good of the entire industry, CWNA members and non-members alike. Certainly there are the pleasures of the social side of conventions, and the CWNA convention is rated high in this respect. But there was much seriaus dis- cussion, too, because the member news- papers of the Association are constantly seeking ta improve themselves, not only on the inside, but in the public interest as well. It is neyer f orgotten that the faithful subscrîber is, in the final analysis, the keystone of a newspaper's being. ta get married, "I'm quitting work and am gaing ta be married." Maybe they reaiiy think they are "quitting work," but they find a sad awakening; after the honeymoon there is stili plenty of work ta do. But why disillusion them here! Anyway, this release goes on ta say: "'he purpose of this 'Week' is ta acquaint the public with the raie which business and professional women are piaying in the ecanomic, social, religiaus, cultural and educational life of Canada." Our B. & P. Club in Bowmanville is doing autstanding community work and the Club has thanked us on various occasions for the publicity we have given them in their activities. Sa, ladies, let's know more about the "Week" on Sept. 22 ta 28 ta pass on ta aur readers. It s a Fact! Two emblems have gained national recognition in Canada - the beaver and the maple leaf. The beaver has been a significant feature of Canada's history and development from eariiest times; the pur- suit of its skin was iargely responsible for first apening up the country. It dates as an emblem at least from the early l7th century, when it appeared on a coat of arms granted by Charles I ta Sir William Alexander, who held Nova Scotia as a royal grant and later extended his interest ta ather parts of what is now Canada. The beaver has appeared on Canadian memorial medals, coins and postage stamps. The maple leaf hias become the chief element in the new design of the Canadian Coat of Arms and was the badge of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Worid War I. It was used as eariy as 1805 as the particular emblem of the French Canad- ians, and was so described in the Quebec Gazette cf that year, xvhile the thistle was mentioned 'as the emblem of the Scottish Canadians. Its use broadened and a literary annual of 1847 referred ta the mapie leaf as the chosen emblem of Canada. Life Begins at 60 Sa yau're getting along in years and haven't yet made a name far yaurself?

Tarif fs Not Answer To Improved Markets For Ontario Potatoes The United States considers with concern Canadian sug- gestions of higher tariffs to give producers better pnices, not only on potatoes, but on many other crops, A. E. Mercker, Washing- ton Director of tbe U.S. Nation- al Potato Council, toid 200 representatives from the major potato producing areas of Canada at Guelph, recentiy. The producers were attend- the first Canadian Potato In- dustry Conference sponsored by t h e Canadian Horticulturai Council at the Ontario Agicult- ural Coliege. 'We tried that back in 1931 and I can asure you it will create more probiems ta solve," Merck- er told the conference. "We are convinced that aur program of encouraging growers ta plant a reasonable acreage, coupled with the marketing agreement and diversion pro- grams, is sound. These pro- grams are simple and easy ta operate. This programn is largely operated by growers and it is tbe only type of programn that will work over a period of years. "This is the age of negotiation in which we try to smooth out aur differences through a dis- cussion af mutuai probiems, which bath countries have. If yau believe that some good may be accompiished, we would be glad ta consider naming a cam-. mittee to meet members of your cammittee. '.Isincerelv believe that the Canadian potato industry can do a lot more ta improve its econo- mic status in co-operation with a sound marketing program than can be done by restricting trade." be declared. ' A large part of the sessions was given ta discussion of pota- toes as a food. According ta S. F. Ciarkson, of the New Bruns- wick Department of Agriculture, potataes are not fattening. Po- tatoes. he said, are one of the best and cheape5t food& on the smarket, and supply much need- ed B Vitamîns and minerais. r M. M. Robinson of Toronto, President of the Canadian Horti. cultural Council, opened the conference. In outlining the objectives ai the conference, R. E. Goodin af the Ontario Departmnent af Agri- culture said the conference may mark the beginning of a nexw method of merchandising pota. toes. Potato peeling may be disap. pearing rapidiy from the kitch- en, with the advent of processing activities, Goodin said. "Pnacessing is rapidly becam. ing more a factor in all food production and distribution. The bousewife nat only spends less time in the kitchen, but she ex- pects funther savings in ber time in meal preparation. "An increasing amaunt of foodstuffs reacbing groceny shelves is pre-peeled, pre-siiced. prepared, pre-cooked, or same- thing.. There is a distinct trend toward convenient foods, but with tbe do-it-younseif idea. "However potato merchandis- ing is much the same as it was many years ago. The day may flot be long distant when only premnium patatoes, such as fancy bakers, would go ta the consum- er in fresh form and some measure af processjng applied ta the rest. Alneady consumption bas increased greatly fan patata chips, frozen french fnies, puffs, patties, etc." Hie said that with incneased Population cansumnption is ex- pected ta increase, but the num- ber af patato grawers is decreas- ing.

Entitled "Cutting Farm Costs", the new well-iiiustrated booklet describes in dletail what the dairyman can do ta decrease his production costs and thus raise bis cash incQme. The bookiet has been prepared with the assistance of Dr. H. E. Pat- terson, Ph. D., Director of the Farm Economics Branch, On- tario Department af Agricul- ture. "Costs", f'ie ibooklet says, "are more subject ta icontro than prices. Instead of waitlng for higher pnices, the farmer can brlng down his costs. Mis probiem is ta find out how ta There are at least five ke factors to profitable daîry farrr ing, it continues. They are1 feeding efficiency, 2. Labor USE 3. production per cow, 4. s1z of herd. and 5. capital use. The booklet goes on to ex plain what can be done in eacl of these categories to rgeaci maximum production with min imum cost. To reach higher feeding effi ciency, for instance, the farm er can increase pasture use. Ir many areas, he can use bromi grass in pasture mixtures t( help early spring and later fal pasturing, while in athers hg will find that sudan grass is good hot weather pasture, anc that early cutting of hay ta gel an early aftermath may supple. ment regular pastures. These, and other efficieni farm practices, add up to whal the bank bookiet cails "farnr business management, the mosi significant factor today in rais. ing farm~ income."

On aur trip we foliowed the Trans- Canada Highway and it is rapid- iy becoming an excellent high- wav.

This conclusion was reached recently following a careful survey of the potato crAip situation across the Province by officiais of the Ontario Department of Agri- culture. Further, soil and tem- perature conditions this year are such that development of scab îs widespread, many fields havirig several misses. Grade out will be necessary, cutting down quantities of No. 1 market- able potatoes available for con- sumption. An influex of -potatoes from the U.S.A. earlier in the season resulted in extremely low prices and deiayed digging of the early crop here.. However, supplies are now clearing away and the crop across the border is esti- mated at four per cent less than last year. Harvesting is comn- mencineg in the intermediate and producing areas of the province, with yields far below average. Unlike last year, no biight in prevalent this year.
