the acton fsee press thursday september 30 ims btjrattonrrrjirtflb hum i hmmm la i or ta com w w nw a to oomcw by tfc rm rm its uftbolar kui om m l ta mtlr cmi mck m ft ac mctw h agricultural interest one of the things that has struck us most forcibly this year in the visits to fairs is the keen interest of spectators whether from town or country in the judging of livestock and the stock rings in years past the rail would be lined for the races and almost any amusement detracted from the stock rings its entirely different this year interest has swung back to the showing of tom jones herd of cattle or the horses from the stable of sam brown and now the other attractions have the small follow ing it was typical gf acton fair and it was again noticeable at milton fair on saturday that the show rings had on interested crowd all afternoon perhaps its the food rationing and the privilege of seeing nice steaks on the hoof or choice bacon hogs with the squeal still in or fine hordes that may yet become part of our meat menu no doubt the farm production and its necessity in wartime has been the means of creating added interest the point however is that the fairs by carrying on in wartime have done a worthwhile job in maintaining this competition to breed better stock and produce better farm products they have maintained com mon interest of town and country in our agricultural activities v a short nap may mean a long sleep fighters arc careful about their sleeping habits they do not doze while they are facing their oppon ents for example at least the winning kind do not both boxfighters and warriors get to be champions and stay champions because they know it is not safe to relax before the opposition quits or is knocked out supposing the nazi propaganda master goebbcls handed out a new dish his theme that canadian trodps were losing interest in the war lets say his fancy story ran something like this canadians in the navy the army and the air force are becom ing weary they are more interested in getting back home than in pressing an attack their aggressive ness has noticeably deteriorated what would happen t6 goebbcls propaganda in this country why in every big and little town the people would laugh it down we would know the story was a pack of lies nothing that the german liemasters invented could destroy our faith in the determination of our men to win no matter what the cost but suppose that goebbcls tried his hand ut such tactics in reverse let us imagine that he planted the following story among canadian troops over seas the folks at home arc becoming weary of the wart production is dropping noticeably in plants throughout the country absenteeism is growing into a major problem young and old are spending more and more money for selfish purposes and ure becom ing less interested in victory loan drives would our men overseas in such a situation havj the same confidence in us and the same scorn of such a rumorstory as wo would show against the reverse propaganda we think the answer would be yes letters from our own boys overseas bear this out we kn that our troops have confidence in the home front we have given them every reason for such confidence in the past three years not once have we failed them but if we are to be champions in our field as our men in uniform are champions over there wo will remember that even a slight re laxation can prove our undoing this ft particularly applicable to our present task 6rmjkinft the fifth victory loan campaign an outstanding success among the iteaas which interested us when the new premier hon geo drew spoke last week was his criticism of the unsatisfactory conditions in the province in regard to liquor sale and the expression of the hope that before long proposals may be placed before the dominion government which will result in a considerable improvement off the general situation we say it was interesting because it is the first acknowledgment that we have beard from any offi cial publicly that conditions are unsatisfactory but frankly we dont like the passing of the buck to any other governing body the new premier was elected to administer the affairs of ontario we understand thar this liquor control act is a provincial enact- ment and the dominion government has left the provinces a free hand in administering the distribu tion and sale within the province conditions have been admitted as unsatisfactory all that is expect ed of the ontario government is to correct these con ditions within the limits of its powers but lets have correction and not evasion 1 v are cenlesrarhuw l ust weve been looking over some of the statements given out by those oldsters who have reached the incredible span of 100 or more years and one thing they all seem to agree on as a recipe for longevity is that they dont worry most people we know always have a hankering to belong to that select class die centenarian and it is only natural for all of us to feci that in spite of the years that wc are not old and could well go on for the hundred mark but that point about not worrying stumps us were it not for the fact that the longestlived canad icns proportionately seem to come from the farm this would be stickler farmers tell us they worry about the weather the condition of the crops the shortage of farm help keeping the place and equip ment in repair and innumerable details everybody knows of course that worrying leads to high blood pressure and kindred ills and yet where it the hurnan that permits this to deter him from worrying centenarians are human too dont for get perhaps it is the telling that givers relief nowadays people especially the businessmen laugh at any mention of not worrying they cite the numerous complications of war such as govern ment regulations labor disputes equipment and the manpower shortages yet farmers also have these worries and many more besides we must not for- yet that persons who are 100 years old now have passed through wars with all their attendant prob lems and heartaches yet t hey survived and wc have a hunch they did plenty of worrying in those hard times getting down to earth it seems most improbable that those who live to a great age have extraordinary constitutions bequeathed to them by plainliving hardworking forbears this view is supported by the number of farmers who cheat times scythe until they are ready to go however another important reason for longevity is the cultivation of an inward serenity a snug spiritual harbor where a mans soul can dwell untroubled by the swirling storms of a lifetime passage v editorial notes folks from here attending milton fair on satur day didnt appreciate the condition of no 25 high way it was dusty and not a yard without a bump v seems funny that while 10c cigars arc always plentiful the stock of six centers is precariously low but then thats another item that doesnt show in the cost of living a nd really isnt essential new ration allowances for honey jams etc are announced in another column this week it is per missable to have cuffs on mens trousers and to get two pairs of pants with a new suit evidence is at hand that victory means more freedom from irksome but necessary restrictions speed the victory v most everyone agrees the price ceiling is a very necessary curtailment inllation is to bo abhorred but the maintaining of prices at the coiling and the avoiding of in mutton ure things that are largely in the hunds of the public its success depends more on public cooperation than on government rulings v selfishness it not only morally wrong but in the long run it just doesnt work if the bell tolls for labor or agriculture or government it tolls also for business and vice versa vice versa und vice versa erie a johnston president ot united states chamber of commerce v the c c f did not cut much figure in the prince edward island provincial elections which re turned the liberal government though with a de creased majority of a total of 66700 votes polled the nine c c f candidates got only 1520 and alt lost their deposits evidently the experiment is to be left to ontario v it would be interesting when railway workers miners and some others in the highly paid wagt groups ask for wage increases up to twentythree cents an hour to have the present wages mentioned
