Toronto ENGAGE TEACHER FOR ONE PUPIL TORONTO—Rural schools provide an ever-increasingly serious prob­ lem for the Ontario Department of Education, according1 to information made available by Dr, L. W. J. Simp­ son*, minister of the department. With education costs mounting yearly, last year to nearly $10,000,- 000, the department is looking for some means to out down the figure and at the same time improve con­ ditions for rural students. According to a table of rural un­ graded schools’ average attendance, one school has only one pupil, ten have two, 19 have three, 42 have four, and there are 749 schools with 10 or less pupils. “In one school,” the minister said, “we hire a teacher and elect a board of three trustees every year, all for one pupil.” AGED 93 YEARS The death occurred on Thursday last of Mrs. Jane Robertson, Blan- shard at the age of 93 years. She came, as a child of six, from Nova Scotia to Blanshard Township where she has lived ever since. Her hus­ band Alexander Robertson prede­ ceased her some years ago.

NOT A RHEUMATIC PAINFOR 4 YEARS 70 Year Old Man Praises Krusehen A man who once suffered severely from rheumatism writer:— “For a long time I suffered with rheumatism, and at one time was laid up for about nine weeks. About five years ago I was advised to try Krusehen. I did so, and have con­ tinued using them ever since. Kruse- en did the trick, a's I have not had a rheumatic pain for over four years. I am nearly 70 years of age, and feeling fine, and always able for my day’s work—thanks to Krusehen.” —A. S, Krusehen dissolves away those needle-pointed crystals of uric acid which are the cause of all rheumatic troubles. It will also flush these dissolved crystals clean out of the system: Then if you keep up “the little daily done,” excess uric acid will never form again. MRS.

Weir, Dominion Minister of Agriculture and the G >v- ernor in Council upon the recom­ mendation of the Dominion Market­ ing Board, is the first marketing scheme to be established in Canada under the Natural Products Market­ ing Act, The purpose of the scheme which was submitted by fruit grow­ ers by a majority of fruit growers and shippers of fruit in British Co­ lumbia is to regulate the marketing of tree fruits grown in the interior of that province, and by so doing promote the efficient marketing of the products of the tree fruit indus­ try. A Local Fruit Beard will adminis­ ter the scheme. The first board will be provisional and will consist of the following three men; Geo. A. Bar- ratt, Kelowna, B. C.; Walter B. Has­ kins, Penticton, B.C.; and Orris W. Hembling, Oyana, B.C. As scon as possible all fruit grow­ ers in the area will be registered and a Local Board elected to suc- ced the Provincial Board in the mar­ keting of the 1934 tree fruit crop. The head office of the Board will be located in Kelowna. The memfoeris of the Board will be elected for a per­ iod of one year. The scheme gives authority to the Local Bo'ard to regulate the time and place at which tree fruit grown in the area may be marketed. The lo­ cal Board may also determine the quantity and quality of the fruit marketed. About 6,500 cars of mar­ ketable tree fruits were produced in the interior of British Columbia in 1933. The necessary expenses , of the Board will be defrayed by the As­ sessment and collection of tolls on the regulated product. Two cent’s per packed box of apples is the max­ imum charge which can be assessed under the scheme. The proceeds of sale of fruit will be pooled amongst the shippers. Under the scheme, the Local Board will not discriminate against any present established mar­ keting agencies which complies fully with the orders, rules and regula­ tions of the Local Board. Shippers of fruit will be licensed by the local Board and a shippers’ Advisory Board, of four men will be establish­ ed to give advice and assistance to the Local Board,in the administra­ tion of the scheme. Before March 31, 1935, a poll of all registered growers will ‘be Oaken to determine their wishes with re­ spect to the continuation of the scheme. Emily had been to school for the first time.
