He thinks that this new vitamin, vitamin T, if it exists, may be found in the grubs of beetles, caterpillars, grasshoppers, and to some extent in the blood of certain birds Happiness Vitamin Vitamins have been defined as substance of unknown composition normally present in certain foodstuffs in minute quantities.

There is fear that 'some municipalities, not locally how- ever, may be driven into bankruptey. Some municipalities have even turned to the American money market where rates are lower. While this represents a saving now, it could be risky if the Canadian dollar weakened. Debentures™ are becoming increas- ingly hard to sell. Whitchurch Town- ship has been attempting to sell school debentures locally. Stouffville has not yet entered the debenture market and is currently borrowing money for the sewer expenditure from the banks at high interest rates. Many of the 'municipalities are similarly affected where projects were begun before the tight money situation became so evi- dent. Stouffville is paying 5% % and this rate might no doubt be higher if Stouffville did not have such a good credit rating. 'Maybe the Bank of Canada's policy which is causing "tighter" money will be justified in the long-term although certain chartered bank officials have warned against such a policy being carried too far as putting many lines of work out of business. "It is significant of today's borrow- ing by governments that the province of Ontario is selling a debenture issue of $60,000,000 with an interest rate of 4%Y% and at a price to give the lender a return of 4.70 or 4.78 depending on the date of redemption he selects from two alternatives. The province of New Brunswick is selling bonds at a price to realize more than five per cent to the investor." Probably the interest rates will go higher still before there is a down turn. When the provinces have to pay such high interest rates, it is easy to understand the financial predicament the municipalities are in to go ahead with necessary projects such as.erect- ing schools and opening new .develop- ments to take care of increasing popu- lation, --Stouffville Tribune THIRTEEN WAYS TO WRECK A CLUB Our Recreational Director, Doug. to our notice. It was written by Prof, Marvin Rife of University of Wiscon- sin and may prove enlightening to those who run and attend club meet- ings. : 1. Encourage the formation of cli- ques within the club, They are ex- tremely effective in breaking down morale and a sense of belonging to a democratic group. 2. When you assume a responsibility in the club, put off carrying it out until the latest possible moment. This increases anxiety and frustation on the part of leaders in the club. 3. When you serve on a committee, "don't bother to understand clearly the scope of functions of the work of the committee. This will help to ensure members will accomplish nothing, 4, Don't worry about getting or giving progress reports on the work of committees in the club. The longer their work slides along the more miserable and confused everyone will be, - 5. At club meetings, be sure you do a lion's share of the talking. You are perhaps the only one in the group who has any worthwhile ideas, ' 6. If you are an officer in the club, never prepare in advance for the meeting, Just come in huffing and puffing and make comments "of the cuff". This helps to keep the meet- ing spontaneous and superficial, 7. By all means, don't come to a meeting on time. 'No one else does, so why bother. Only the early and prompt birds have to sit around. and. wait. 8. See that the meeting drags out beyond a reasonable length of time. There's nothing like a stuffy business meeting where everyone is asleep or vored stiff, 9. Above all, hog the major credit for any of 'the club's achievements. The other club members just love to hear you brag. . 10. Don't give recognition for work well done by others. Just assume that loyal club members operate entirely upon motives of pure altruism, 11. When you have the floor in a meeting, be sure to mumble your words. What difference does it make if only the guy next té you can hear what you say? 12. When you meet other club mem- bers in between meetings, be sure to talk shop and worry about how=the club is going to pieces. Make certain that you stress all the negative as- pects of the club, in spite of the pro- gress it is making. 13. If none of the above succeeds in wrecking the club--be a sour puss. You will then be an eloquent walking advertisement of all the club stands for--and others will be eager to join and become more like you. --Canadian Statesman District Doings URANIUM METAL PLANT COMING TO PORT HOPE A uranium metal production plant is to begin operation in Port Hope within 18 months.

FARMERS JOIN FORCES FOR BETTER PRICE LINDSAY. -- Important news re- garding the production and sale of hogs in the Counties of Victoria and Haliburton was released this week from an authorative source. The ~-Warren Brown Sale Barn in Lindsay is to become a direction point or centre for the hog producers of the area. Similar centres are being es- tablished in various parts of the pro- vince as a means of co-operation on the part of producers to establish a more competative market for hogs, It is estimated that there are some 40,000 hogs produced in this area each | year and it is proposed that farmers truck these hogs to Lindsay.

PHILOSOPHY Four of us shared the hunting lodge. of knocking mallards from the sky. I did pick up some precious lore, all right, but not about duck-shooting, especially. More about life in general and how to live it. - We were quite an assortment. One was a very successful small-town hardware merchant, a wiry, red-head- ed, sharp-spoken man in his late fifties, comfortably retiring in the town where he'd built his business. There was a stock broker, an electric power company executive, and myself, a free-lance writer, Not having any one business in common, our talk was very general after the dishes were done and the nighteaps poured. "Ah", sighed the stock broker, scan- ning with satisfaction the puritan sim- plicity of our lodge and our waiting bunk beds, "this is the life. No darn telephones, no worries." 3 "Not even electric lights," sighed the utility executive, with a wide grin, "Camp's a different world and in a couple of days the city seems a mil- lion miles away, and our worries look small from such a distance." I, too, made some observations about the peace, quiet and security of an iso- lated hunting lodge at night, and I guess I, too, remarked that it might help dispel life's worries. Billy, the hardware merchant, look- ed sternly at the three of us. "You seem mighty taken up with worrying, you three guys. What's the matter, are you all lazy, Don't you know if you kept working hard you don't need to worry? When you get on the edge of worry, just work harder. Every- thing shapes up if you work your darndest." He wasn't fooling. = He was dead serious. And he was dead right. Three of us went back to the city and tried it; and proved it. Maybe this is a worry-wart age be- cause we've forgotten the antidote for worry---work! . . And though I'm not crazy about hard work I'll trade it for worry any day! I have a notion that the trend to shorter hours, the practice of feather- bedding, and the something-for-noth- ing idea, all contribute to worry and There is nothing quite so satisfactory in life as a good day's work, honestly done, And it kills worry right at the roots. Try itl In! I hoped in the company of these vete-| rans to pick up precious lore on the art IT'S NOT FAIR!

Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture, an- nounced today that a program of area testing and eradication of Brucellosis disease of cattle 'will be entered into by his Department, Brucellosis, or Bang's Disease, is a bacterial infection causing abortions and breeding difficulties in cattle, Losses from it are estimated to cost Canadian cattlemen nine million dol- lars annually. Brucellosis infection in cattle is responsible for undulant fever in humans, bath being caused by the same organism, Procedure will follow the pattern which has been applied successfully in the virtual eradication of tuberculosis from Canadian cattle. An area will be accepted under the program on the recommendation of a provincial de- partment of agriculture. All suscept- ible cattle in the area will be tested and infected animals will be disposed of with compensation paid to the owners, A joint federal-provincial policy of calf vaccination against brucellosis has been in effect since 1950, This, along ° with several provincial control pro- grams, is considered to have reduced the incidence of the disease to the point where a national program of testing and eradication is now feas- ible. ) In addition to reducing losses from* the disease, the move will strengthen the position of Canadian cattle export- ers in foreign markets which increas- ingly are requiring freedom from brucellosis in cattle imports. Operating procedures are now being drafted and the program will be in effect in 1967.
