HOME FOR AGED "A FIRE TRAP" The United Counties Home for the Aged was called a "fire trap" by Millbrook reeve, G. F. Harrington and deputy-reeve J. T. Brown of Clarke Township at session in Cobourg last month, The Millhrook reeve urged the Counties: Council to take immedi- ate steps toward. building a county home and said: "It is a fire trap in | spite of fifteen exit lights being lit. I wouldn't want to be a member of this Counties Council if a disaster struck. the. Home for the Aged." Reeve S. Gray, Hope Township, said he resented the statements from Mill- brook. Speaking for the Board of Management of the County Home he said: "We've made improvements and the folks are as comfortable as they | can be under the; present conditions. Things are not as bad as some would have us believe, Everybody gets hot under the collar and tosses a lot of words around until everything is ex- aggerated." rr NEW MOTEE FOR LINDSAY Belleville Man Plans 25-Unit Building: Another sign of Lindsay's continu- ing growth came today" with the an- nouncement by Stanley J.

Jones, vice-president and general manager of Consumers' Gas Co., Toronto, called on Markham Township Council at its regular meet- ing last Tuesday to present details of a scheme by which they proposed to extend a natural gas pipe-line a- long Yonge St., from Steele's Ave. to Richmond Hill, Plans called for ser- vice to new subscribers in Thornhill, Richmond Hill and areas: in-Markham Township to receive gas service in carly 19566, if the scheme met with, the approval of the Township Couneil: Clipped Comments FARM UNION SHUNS FEDERATION The "top brass" of the Farm Union, which --hales from the wide-open prairies of Western Canada, and are now invading Ontario, seems to be never happier than when they are be- littling and discounting the old estab- lished "Federation of - Agriculture, which organization has accomplished so 'much for the farmers. It would appear that these western agitators will never be satisfied -until they come high and mighty wielding the big stick in the driver's seat. These objectives were further impressed up- on us as we read last week that' the 'Bouncil of the Inter-provincial Farm Union decided at" Saskatoon recently against using as the basis of a na- tional organization, The Phoenix-Star of Saskatoon re- ports that the Federation was pro- posed in an amendment, but was voted down. It proposed establishment of a national farm organization with the "co-operation of the Canadian Feder- ation of Agriculture," rT Jake Shultz, who led thezikion in. vasion of parts of Ontario la inter, said: "I will vote against thf#*amend. ment. We are going to build a na- tional farm organization one way or squelch all other groups and they be- |, We must be living in the age of color, for all around one sees all the colors of the rainbow, plus a great many hundreds more. The automo- tive industry has gone all out for color and rainbows dash by on our highways and streets. More than 400 shades of color are utilized in cars this. year and the automobile manufacturers say that next year they will have 1,200 more shades. Tires, too, they promise, will be in variegated colors, so that they will become visible spectrums. The men, known heretofore as changeless creatures of habit, are casting off their sombre hats of blacks and browns and taking -to col- orful headgear equally as much as they are taking to cerise and laveén- der automobiles, We read this week where President Eisenhower wears a pink hat while golfing. Moreover, states a fashion preview, men's hats this fall will feature overtone colors and iridescent hatbands. . People are using more colors in their homes, both outside and in. In- deed, we recently saw a firetruck red house along the highway. Some of our economic experts attri- bute this phase of color to good busi- ness conditions and believe that the people are therefore taking this means to show their satisfaction and joyful- ness at the situation. Whatever the explanation, business is bound tobe good--for although everyone loves color, they are apt, we think, of getting mighty tired of seeing a water-melon-colored automo- bile in the driveway every day and will be trading it in for lavender. --Canadian Statesman.
