Port Perry lost an outstanding citi- zen in the passing of George A. Rose, in his 83rd year, on Thursday, July 8th, 1937. As a citizen he was noted for two great loyalties--to the United Church, - and to the Liberal Party. Both of these he served faithfully, and with a keen. insight of the work which was to be done in order that success might be attained in the objectives set before - these public organizations. He was an organizer of unusual skill, and in matters of securing public sup- port his counsel was highly valued. He will be greatly missed in these depart- ments of life. Mr. Rose 'was: the last surviving member of a family of five children, who came to this country when a boy, timber at what came to be known as Rose's Corner's, a few miles North of Port Perry. : Mr. Charles Rose was a man ot strong religious conviction, and. was a local preacher in the old days. of the In another. ca- figures, and during the years when he was Treasurer of the Port Perry Methodist.

This work was most suit- able to the talents of Mr, Rose. . He became general agent for Port Perry District. His work was so successful that for six years out.of ten he had the honour of belonging to the Mutual Life Century Club. Ill health com- pelled' his retirement from active work; but he still wrote an oceacional policy. Only a couple of weeks ago he wrote a joint policy for $1500, showing his ambition right through to the end. On the occasion Anniversary of the and Mrs. Rose, the Congregation of the United Church honoured them. Their married life has been a most happy. one. His long illnéss, and the many times when: death seemed cer- tain, showed clearly the concern of his friends and the concern of the' com- munity for his welfare. - ' For some years deceased was a director of the Pine Grove Cemetery Company, and his body now rests in the beautiful Pine Grove Cemetery, The funeral was largely attended, and the service was conducted by Rev. W. J. H. Smyth, minister of Port Perry United Church. At the con- clusion of the church service, the Brethren of Fidelity Lodge, A. F. & A.

Chief Medical Officer of Health (Printed by request of :Dr. Rennie, At this time of year and especially during the months of August, Septem- ber and October, there will probably occur cases of poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) 'in various sections of the Province. . The number of cases re- ported. in the province during the past three years has been--1934, 326 cases; 1036, 108 cases; 1936, 208 cases. It is not possible to predict whether this year (1937) will be one of high in- cidence or not, or in what localities it ig likely to be prevalent. There are four point§ which should be kept in mind in case of the disease appearing in your municipality: : ¢ First--Parents should be warned that the disease is spread through con- tact with known or abortive cases or carriers. There is no practical labor- atory test- for the identification of prevention of spread is to keep the child away from crowds, Second--While parents should be advised of the early pre-paralytic -symptoms of the. disease, 'e.g., neck] * stiffness, headache, lumbar pain, pros- ration, vomiting, and strongly ad- M: O. H. for surrounding vicinity) no case of acute illness occurring dur- ing these months should be neglected. Prompt medjcal attention has been found to be a significant factor in the control of the disease, : Third--Although it is not usual for secondary cases to occur in the house- hold it does occasionally happen and a strict. quarantine should be placed on the premises. The premises are re- quired to be placarded and if an or- iginal case is removed to hospital, the premises are placarded for ten_days and the contacts required to remain in quarantine for that period. If the case is nursed at home the premises are placarded for three weeks from date of (onset. No person from premises under quarantine for poliomyelitis is permitted to handle milk, cream, but- ter, cheese or any other milk product which is to be sold or given to-any party. All that is necessary for ter- minal disinfection after release from quarantine is through cleaning of the premises occupied by the patient. Fourth--Convalescent serum for the treatment of pre-paralytic or early paralytic cases will be available as in the past. BIG DAY AT PORT PERRY--Aug. 2 Such a bill of fare for a day's sport (all for 30c.) you never saw! Port Perry will be crowded with sports from morning until next morning. Fi-Fi, the sports, land sports, motor cycle renowned clown will open proceedings. Band will discourse sweet music. And the Lindsay Boys' Then there will be aquatic races -- racing cyclists just re- ~ turned from England--horse races, softball, and everything wound wp with a monster street dance and meeting of friends a i > pd 'cepted only as given and is therefore '] words, I believe that the material un- --The liquor trade throughout the world has long been awake to the pos- sibilities of" advertising, Staggering amounts are being spent annually by brewers, distillers, and distributors in determined efforts to increase con- sumption, They are setting aside vast sums for direct and indirect propa- ganda campaigns, employing highly- paid journalists "and high-powered sales strategists to insinuate info the home, the school; the college and even the Chureh their specious claims re- garding the respectability of beer drinking and the smartness of the cocktail habit. The chief end of the liquor inter- ests--indeed, their sole end and aim, camouflage it how they will--is the sale of liquor. They are constantly studying schemes and preparing plans to get more and more people drinking. They are deliberately setting traps for youth--beer and cocktail traps. And this is no exaggerated statement or fanciful accusation made by any so-called temperance fanatic. For some. time it has been an open secret that the liquor. trade has actually set about the business of teaching youth to drink. "Make the young people beer-conscious" is one of their secret slogans, knowing well that beer is traditionally the drinker's preface to hard liquor, ; "A propaganda offensive, unprece- Ene refined methods of mass suggestion, has been launched by the brewers in the United States. This drive, which aims to demolish the temperance forges of the nation and create an in- creasingly wet Anlérica, is under the direction of a nbfvly-formed United Brewers' Indus Foundation, head- ed by Colonel Ruppert, with Edwin L. Berneys 'as press agent. Colonel Rup- pert, is president of the Brewers' As- sociation and head pf a firm that turns out 1,600,000 barrels of beer annually as its contribution to the physical and moral well-being '@f the nation. Mr, Berneys, who is, hailed as the most re- sourceful "publi¢ relations counsel" in the United States, is to receive $75,000 a year as publicity agent and is charged with the task of generating an odor of sanctity\for the brewing in- dustry. 3 "The foundation 'proposes to spend $1,000,000 or moré'annually in an_ef- fort to influenee .public thinking in favour of liquor, J Cunningly planned and massively armed with the most the campaign is to be largely indirect and carefully concealed. It will come masquarading as the guardian of public health and morals. Here is one of its first approaches: "We have pre- pared three booklets dealing with the health, the economic and social aspects of beer. ... We will be very glad to send them to you" . These booklets dented .in scope, method and subtlety, y Editorial in "The New Outlook' will contain tempting recipes for the housewife, literary and historical re- ference to the place of beer--all re- touched of course--and social notes about society leaders in Washington and London. And these beer-flavored libraries, churches, press and radio. The facts and reasons behind this new beer-selling campaign are illumi- nating. Here are a few of them: The 'American people. are becoming de- finitely alarmed by the rising tide of liquor throughout the nation. In- creasingly they are becoming disil- lusioned by the lamentable failure of repeal. 'Hard liquor sales have grdwn enormously and ten times as fast as beer. Social problems multiply as liquor flows more and more freely. Local option campaigns are corfstantly gaining ground, the dry forces are be- coming better organized and financed, and there is a growing consciousness among the more responsible industrial, political and religious leaders that the liquor trade is indeed the country's Public Enemy Number One. - Meanwhile, Canada is facing a fresh offensive by the liquor interests along the line of advertising where they are marshalling all the forces for a desperate onslaught upon the Dominion. But that is another story and we 'hope to deal with it in next week's ssue. I: I believe in life. That is to say I believe in the thing which passes understanding and cannot be ap- proached by the mind; it can 'be ac- "sacred." Since I am a living being myself, I believe I am one with all that lives; all joy is my joy; all pain, my pain. ILI. I believe in the soil. That js to say I believe that not a hair from my head nor a feather from a sparrow's wing can fal] without being taken ac- count of by soil; the soil must he served; the soil is supreme. Empires have risen and fallen according as they served the soil or "neglected it. No pride in large estates avails; Rome died of it. If a given piece ot soil yields better, not in exportable surplus but in human contentment, when supporting three men where it supported one, then the soil if held by one will avenge itself even though it may take generations to do so. "IIL. I believe in the race, That is to say I believe that the fact of my being mortal and, therefore, unlikely to sit-in. the shade of the sapling I may or may not be planting, is no rea- son why I should not plant it. In other attainability of an ideal is no reason why I should cease striving after it. An ideal that can be attained will be attained and will then cease to be an ideal. I also believe that this my be- lief may be the belief of others as well; and if a lawyer, a doctor, a mer- chant has it, many things will be added unto him. ' IV. I believe in the perfectibility of the race. 'That is I believe in edu- cation; not in the sense of teaching the young the methods by which we do things--those they will see of their own accord and they will find better ways of their own as a matter ot course--but rather in the sense of en- abling them to see the invisible behind the visible, the spiritual behind the material, as only the great that have lived before us were able t6 do. So that when they grow up they also will stand on the little plot of land which they own, and reach out with tentative mind, into the great mysteries which surround us. V. I believe in knowledge. That is to say I believe it is best to leave thosé who strive to incredse our store of knowledge entirely free. VI. I believe in order. That is to say I believe in a divinely ordained sequence of things, no matter how con- ditioned, whether by the personal di- rection of an omnipotent God or by what the scientists call natural law. This implies that I believe in the sea- sonal arrangement of events in na- ture; and in taking things as they come. I do not ask my strawberry patch to yield berries at Christmas. VII. I believe in justice, That is to say I believe in living and letting ~ A Farmer's Creed By Frederick Philip Grove, in. MacLean's Magazine live. But, while I agree to any man's cumstance; and that is the same thing living as he pleases, even by buying as saying that I believe in man's fun- cheap and selling dear, I protest damental innocence and equality. If against that perversion of justice which enables a minority to batten on the distress of the majority. I cannot forget that a thing which I produce at a losg willbe handléd by others at a profit; and that, therefore, it is pos- sible for a country in which every primary producer is bankrupt to be speciously prosperous in the reports of the statistician. Any injustice, even an injustice directed against myself, is a grievance. VIIL I believe in liberty. That is to say I believe in law. Which is the same thing as saying that I believe in a limitation of my freedom by that of others, and in a limitation by common consent of the freedom of others .by mine. found to prejudice the freedom of my brother sin, then I sin with him because I permitted him to be born with a heredity or into an environ- ment which made his sin a foregone conclusion. If there is smut in my oats, it is my fault, not the fault of the oats. If a human plant goes wrong, nought i3 to be gained by rag- ing against that human plant; nceds I must we look to ourselves to find that which made it go wrong. AAT HYDRO NEWS E, G, Smith Hydro's 1936 reduction means an annual $1,000 saving to Port Perry Hydro consumer's, Hydro statisticians If a man's chosen activity is estimate. Power was first supplied to Port others, he must cease that activity and Perry by the Hydro-Electric Power in case of need be forced to cease it.' Thus the man who chooses to make! not only -his living but his fortune by juggling the market must be restrain- ed, in case of nced by treating him as any other public enemy is treated. IX. I believe in peace. That is to say I believe it is wrong for anyone to call his neighbor "fool." I am I; and my. neighbour is another, if dif- ferent, I. That is no reason why we should quarrel. If elsewhere man seeks salvation by communism or fascism, I am grateful to those who do so for conducting experiments which may or may not prove success- ful. But whoever uses their names as a term of contempt sows the seed of war; for to call your neighbour "fool" or "scroundrel" arouses anger; and anger is fhe root of all evil; toleration is peace. X. I believe in progress. That is to say I believe that through the ac- cumulation of knowledge we shall learn to appreciate the nature of things. his own place, his own, niche in the scheme of the world. Even the ma- chine may help us better to under- stand the workings of that scheme. For a part of a whole to subordinate that whole to itself is a task beyond its- powers; it is a dream that is dreamt, But if man, on awaking,'is better fitted to subordinate himself to nature, then he has made a step to- ward bringing about the kingdom of nature on earth. XI I believe in solvency. That is to say I believe in going without that: for which I cannot pay. Without solvency true freedom is impossible for the individual as well as for the nation. I believe the installment plan is the curse of 'modern life; and the "science of salesmanship" sells into slavery. XII. T believe in collective respon- sibility, That is to say I believe that For it is man's task to find Commission in September 1922. By 1929 the load in the municipality and the * surrounding rural district, par- ticularly the summer area adjacent to Lake Scugog, had increased to such a point that it was necessary to extena the 22,000 volt line from Greenbank to Port Perry and erect a sub-station at the corporhtion limits, The rates prior to Hydro were ex- tremely high and this condition .con- tinued during the first year or so of Hydro operation, the average cost for domestic and commercial lighting in 1924 being, 10.6c. per kilowatt-hour. The load at that time was 90.8 H.P., but this steadily increased to 263.1 H.P. in 1936. and the average cost for lighting dropped to 2.4c. per kilowatt. hour. The resale rates were reduced on many occasions during this period and substantial refunds were made to consumers. ' } Even with the successive reductions, the annual operating surplusés have totalled $18,626 after providing de- preciation of $7,841. Approximately 37% of the original $20,000 debenture issue has been retired and liquid funds in the form of each and securities are available to more than take care o1 the balance. The book value of the plant stands at $31,725, and the dif- ference between this value and the debenture issue has been financed from revenue and reserves. _ The total number of consumers served during 1936 was 390 compared with 294 in 1924, and during the same period the annual kilowatt-hours sold to the lighting consumers increased from 73,626 to 401,734, The revenue 'during this 12-year period has only in- creased from $11,789 to $16,047 be- cause of the substantial rate reduec- tion, : Although economies in Hydro ad- ministration and renewals of bond issues at lower interest rates have aided the Commission to reduce power booklets will be sent to homes, schools, rearrangement of the power purchase qontracts. The cost of purchased power during 1986 on the Niagara system was, $3,110,848, whereas the corresponding cost in 1935, before re arrangement of power contracts, was $8,232,969. : While, of course, the people of On- tario could never have afforded to use such quaptities of electricity at old private pdwer rates, the difference be- tween Hydro bills down through the SAMUEL FARMER, Editor and Publisher. Hydro years and that same amount of power bought at old pre-Hydro rates $900,000,000. The average lighting rate to Hydro consumers is 1.5 cents per kilowatt; the average rate in the United States is over 5 cents. If Ontario Hydro users paid the same rates for elec- triicity as prevail'in the United States about $40,000,000 would have to be added annually to Ontario Hydro bills.
