crop yould appear to be badly infested by an outbreak of hessian fly we base that statement on the comments of many of our farmer friends and in spection which we personallymade of ten fields on ujly 3rd prof essor h w goble provincial en tomologist accornpanled us bto the tour and a cursory inpectlon of the ten fields indicated- an outbreak from a lot of 2 or 3 per cent in the odd field to as high as so per cent in others in brief it would appear on the average as if to to 20 per oeht of the crop is infested with hessian fly and broken off at or near the first joint the insect is now in the pupa or flax seed stage in somes talks as higft as nine pupa were found needless to add nothr ing can be done to assist this years crop in our last weeks column we outlined the control measures rec ommended by our entomologists on this continent in brief it is recom mended that sowing be delayed as late as is safe and still get a good stand before wirter we are begin ning to wonder htwever if the hessian files have read the control measures which have been recom mended in any event there is plenty- of damage done in some of the fields that were sown the last week in september some of our wheat growers are in a bit of quan dary as to whether or not to plant wheat this fall whether or not hessian fly will be serious in 1952 no one knows in so far as we can ascertain weather conditions will be the determining factor personally we dont think our 1951 experience with hessian fly should scare one out of the fall wheat business isley reunion held in west mr henry islcy who

with other countries where the standard of liv ing has risen arfd where industrial- ization has taken place faces a new and everincreasing problem a falling birth rate coupled with giant strides in preventive medicine has resulted in a steadily growing proportion ot the older age groups in our population many more cfiil- dren are living to maturity and on into old age the expectation of life has been markedly increased the battle against cancer and the degen erative diseases goer continuously forward certainly no one would wish the situation to be other than it la these older citizens have a definite contribution td make to our national economy however we must face the fact that this increase in the older age groups creates new and in some cases as yet unsolved prob lems there is the integration of the older employee in industry provi sion of special medical care finan cial help through some form of social security special recreational facilities and many other factors to allow these people to live normal lives and to give them the oppor tunity to contribute to the maximum of their ability to the life of our country not the least of the prob lems we face is the provision of spe cial housing facilities not too many years ago grannie and grandpa were welcome additions to our households they were hap py useful members of the family in the last generation the whole pic ture has changed our cost of living has steadily increased we have tended to become urban dwellers with smaller houses many of us are now living in apartments htous- ing has become increasingly difficult to obtain many of us have had to accept makeshift unsatisfactory housing few of us by our own eltorts have been able to provide financial sec- urily fo ou old age most of us would still welcome our older relatives in to our homes but in many eases it is not a practical possibility increa singly the responsibility of housing the older citien has been shifted to the state at least three types of housing must be provided there must be bed care for those who are no lon ger able to look after themselves there must be institutional housing for those who are still able to be up- iuid about uutcanjiq jonger maintain a selfcontained domestic establishment lastly but by no means least important there must be special provision for those who although they can no longer main tain a house are ouile capable of looking after an apartment type unit the efforts of halton county and the town of burlington to supply a solution for the latter two prob lems may be of interest and point the way for other municipalities in canada halton county is a small county with a population of out 41000 il 1lc3 qilthe shore of lake ontario bet ween woron to and hamilton from a densely popula ted suburban

departures from tradition it is sit uated adjacent to the town of mil ton within easy walking distance for old people it is served by mun icipal water and sewerage the ac commodation for the older

corporation the federal gov ernment provided the remaining 90 ler cent by way of a mortgage over a period of 47 years at a low rate of interest the apartments rent for 1600 and 2100 a month the revenue is sufficient for mainten ance and to retire the mortgage old age pensioners widows or mo thers allowances and certain war pensioners are eligible to rent these apartments a board repre
