JAMES, Editoz Memb.r Audit Bureau ci Circulations Conadian We.kly Newspapozs Association Liquor Act Enforcement Welcome News to the Public The public announcement on June 3th, by Premier Leslie Frost that hie government plans to "crack down" immediately to enforce the provisions of the Liquor Laws of Ontario, came as welcome news to the general public. He declared that a minority of the licensed bever- age rooms in the province have been evading the regulations in a way to invite drunkennes and disorderly conduct and have been lax in serving drinks to under-age patrons. Much of this had been apparent in the news from cases brought before the courts by the police. With the licensing power the government has the most effective means of dealing with the situation. The announcement of the Premier follows the very commendable decision of the Ontario Hotel Owners' Association that they plan f0 apply pressure thémselves f0 stop the disgrace- ful conditions that have grown up. It is hoped that these warnings will be heeded for the public mood is something not lightly to be disregarded. There has been f00 much division of sesponsibil- ity and éuthority in the past on this question and it ls a matter of congratulation that the government has now consolidated its new ap- proach into an effective, cenfralized agency. The nvw setup places the whole administra- tion of the Acf under the single authorify of Hon. Arthur Welsh, DSO, Provincial Socretary, who relieves the Attorney General's Department from itis supervision of the Liquor Contmol Board. The deputy f0 Col. Welah la Major John W. Foots, VC, member for Durham County, who received bis appointment somo weeks ago. If ia rat her significant that short ly atter the ap- pointment of theso two distinguisbed war beroos, the above announcement was made by Premier Frost. The public, we believe, will have trong assurance now, that with the new authority vested in these two ex-soldiers, the "dlean- house" campaign will go forward with dispatch In thia connection. 1Ontario Crop Failure Serious Livestock Industry Threatened Reports froni Agricultu;al Representativos dil acrose southern Ontario for weeks past hqve progressively indicated that the hay, pasture and teed grain situation is the worst for years past. Hay prices have risen stoadily while burnt ouf pastures have forced many farmers f0 ship hundreds of cattle f0 markets-in an impoverished condition and at a large tinancial bass. Lack of ram bhas also made if quit e apparent that the feed grain crops are away below normal and greof quantifies of feed will have to ho brought in from outside points as winfer feed. The prolonged drought has had a serious effect on the livestock industry of eastern Canada end rarticularlv of old Ontario. On the other hand it is reported that crops in western Canada are better than average. Feed grains, there- fore, will likely be available in quantity from the west. The main concern of eastern farmers, then, is the matter of price. It should be deter- mined as soon as possible in order to estimate the numbers of livestock that may be profitably wintered in eastern Canada. This problem is one that can be resolved without delay since the marketing of feed grains riow comes under the Wheat Board by virfue of legislation carried at Ottawa and approved by the three Prairie Provinces. Eastern farmers will want a reasonable price and western farmers will probahly wish to get the best price possible. That looks like the problem posed for the Wheat Board in the present circumstances. Their de- cision will be watched with inferest and it should be made at the earliest possible moment. Sewage System Should Be Operated as a Public Utilitv From timo f0 fime it has beon a favorite fopic for discussion in the realm of civic polifics and the Woods' Sonate regarding the Public Utilifies Commission faking over the sowage system. In a recent editorial in the Orillia Packet and Times on this subject they mode these observations: "The Town Clerk, Mr. Morgan Payne, bas idono a service in recalling attention f0 the beavy load the new sewoge disposal plant is going f0 place on the fax rate unleas stops are faken f0 have if operated by the Commission as a public ufility. This is, in fact, the only fair mefbod of fieancing the plant, since if places the coat on those who benefit from if, and doos not burden the ratepayers who are not sorved with aowers. Moreover, if approximatea the charge f0 the service rendered, and doos not base if on the value of the real estate, tp whicb if may bave no relation. Wben the Commission underfook f0 pay half the cost of oporation ouf of the water rates, if was contomplated that they would ultiniately assumne the wbolo coat. If waa thon argued that if was reasonaJle that the consumera of water sbculd pay for taking it away as welî as having if deliverod. îbis appeara f0 ho a aound principle, and the Commission is understood f0 agree ond to be willing f0 undertake the responsibility. If, as Re-assessment of a community'along i' linos laid down by the Department of Mu: cipal Affaira la nof somothing that can be c complished in a short time; in tact, without E tra help, if would probably ho impossible f0 if in one yoar, but once the system la establishi it should be comparatively easy f0 keep t] records up from yoar f0 year. The re-assoasmont cannot be done by simple a mefhod as jacking the valuation Up or 50 per cent aIl around. What la required il uniform assessment which will be as f air f0o o property owner as f0 another and which cc bo made f0 stand up beforo a local court rovision or a count'y equalizatibni commiitfoo. T: essential reqýirement for such an assoasme la that all proportion be valued by a commi yardstick. Working under the count y assessc the yardstick wiIl be the manual providod i the departmont, which calls for measurementq buildings, their description and other pertinei information f0 be enfered on cards, which wi romain in the assessor's office as a pormanei record, f0 be amended from year f0 year as f, physical nature of properties changes and the incroase or doteriorate in value. To measure and inspect overy buildingi the town and enter the information on the carc will roquire conidorable time and a tfair amou: of extra help. Such ca systom appears f0 b botter than tho one proposed a few years bac] f0 engage an appraisor from outaide, who woul make bis assesamont and move on, loaving th: local council and ofticials f0 niake it stick. Over-Pop ulation is St11 World's Greatest Problem In the conditions which existod in his timri the fears of Malthus were juatified., If seemet thon that the population of every country in thi world was likely f0 incroase beyond the labiliti of the thon trading nations f0 feed themselveî Ho could not toresee that the birth rate woulî decline ds the standard of living rose, nor thi oxtent f0 wbich science would aid production ii the undeveloped agriculfural areas. During the last bundred years, except for wars and brief periods of famine, the white race bas been well ted, but the world as a whole has lived at a bare subsistence levol. Population bas always been as groat as the food supply would sustain. incroasing rapidly whenever food increasod. Taking the world as a whole, Asia in particular, the standard of living cannot rise until the fofal population is well within the pot- ontial food supply and romains there.. Profits and the Employee In a recent address on industrial relations Richard Deupree, President of Procter & Gamble Co., made these commenta: "To me the first rosponsibility of maniage- ment f0 its omployees la f0 operaf e a success- fui business . .. a business which makes a pro- fit. I mean a regular healthy profit, the klnd thaf continues f0 pay wages and expand a busi- ness, thereby making new jobs. If is unfortunate that fhrough the past several years a great many influential people have considered profits as something f0 b. ashamed of and avoided. Nover wore people more mistaken and misled. Profits are the lifeblood of a business and of the con- tinuing progress of the individuals in the busi- ness. "There could ho no busineas expansion, no industrial progresa wifbout profits. As for real benefits to employees, jusf try f0 tind thema in a tirm which makes no profits. If the con- dition persista, the 'going' business becomes the gone' business with no jobs. "Employees should realize that, along with profits, the continued financial strength ot a company is a management rosponsibilif y f0 them. This la particularly important ini this period of vory high costs of finisbed producta, and high level of employment." Slow Down Now Cerfainly, you are busy. Work is piling Up and you fume and fusa and pitch in and work, but if piles oven bigher. What the hock! Slow down. You could live to ho os old as Meth- uselah and still find work piling up on you. One mon, harried, hurried and explosive over bis work was advised f0 work six hours per day insteod of eight and also spend one day a week in a cometery. "But what shahl I do in a comefory?" "Juat lbat," was the reply. "Get acquainted with some of the mon who are there permanent ly. They didn't finish their work either. Nobody doos, you know." So slow down foday and enjoy lufe - bo- fore you go down, pereianently.

Somie districts have been drier and Nortbern Ontario has had quite a bit of ramn. But widespread dry weather bas caus- a buge loss for Ontario farmers this Year. Here are some items from the reports: Durham: "In spite of dry con- ditions, faîl wheat examined this week seems to be filling fairly well. Early spning grains are head- ing very short in straw with ramn needed immediately to save this crop. Many farmers have bad to turn cattle into fields otherwise intended for hay."' Many districts report the can- nîng pea crcp onîy 35-40 percent of normal. Hay is selling at $18 baled in the field and some points report $20-24, for old hay carried aven. There's stili a demand for weanling pigs. The alarming pasture and feed situation is still the cause of beavy shipments of cattie to the stock yards. Corn Borer On Reports of corn boren activity on sweet corn for the eanly market have been received fnom several aras. Egg laying is genenal in al areas now witb a higben per cent being reported in the Leamington anea.
