The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1939-06-01, Page 6ftTIURSLAY, Jl’NE 1st, 1939 THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE Avoid Traffic Congestion With the arrival of Their Majes­ ties King George and Queen Eliza­ beth less than a week off, Minister of Highways Hon. T. B. McQuesten recently reinforced his program for reducing highway accidents through­ out Ontario during the Royal visit. Mr. McQuesten said every effort was being made by his department to avoid any serious mishaps which might mar the pleasure of Their Majesties’ tour. The program was designed as a tribute to King George and his keen interest in accident pre­ vention. The highways minister urged all motorists to cooperate in attempts SUGAR Most Canadians are familiar with the fact that practically speaking all our our raw sugar imports come from British Empire countries. That sugar is refined in the Dominion by an industry which received a great impetus during the years of the Great War. There is a world of ro­ mance in knowing that the sugar we put in our tea may have come from the charming Fiji Islands, British Guiana, the West Indies, South Af­ rica or Australia. A very large pro­ portion of the sugar which we use comes from the sugai’ cane, altho’ there is a growing utilization of the beet sugar production. India and Arabia were the only known sugar producing countries of the ancient world. Early classical writers referred to sugar as Indian salt or “honey contained in the reed.” The cane was later carried into Egypt and China. The enterpris­ ing Egyptians taught the world how to refine sugar through the use of ashes. A later method of refining was to dissolve the raw sugar in lime water and then add the blood of bul­ locks. T<h'e blood congealed and drew out the impurities. Today we use animal charcoal for refining pur­ poses and for this reason India has only recently become a purchaser of sugar refined in this way having refused it in the past because of re­ ligious prejudices. The earliest use of sugar was as a medicine, particularly in Egypt, and not as a food, and for centuries the Egyptians were looked upon as the cleverest physicians. Even today there is a Spanish saying “like an apothecary without sugar.” The Moors introduced the sugar cane to Spain (where it was cultivated as early as the Sth century) which the inhabitants accepted along with ar- ihmetic and soap. The desire for sugar grew slowly but steadily. The Venetians sent a shipment to London in 1319 in ex­ change for wool but it remained a rare luxury. Marco Polo and the crusaders told stories about the wonderful sweet they had found.

If constipated take Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills and have a natural movement of the bowels. They do not gripe, weaken or sicken as many laxatives do. Thi T. Mlibafn Ltd., Toronto, Ont, being made to prevent heavy con­ gestion on roads leading to cities where the Royal party will pay form­ al and extended visits. Mr. McQuesten pointed out that the King’s Highway system near these cities would be heavily con­ gested with motor traffic coming from distant points. He felt that mo­ torists who lived comparatively close to these cities might reach their destination with much more com­ fort and convenience if they used the many good secondary roads available to them. He also suggested that many mo­ torists coming from distant points Loaf sugar was made in the 15th century in Venice. In 1842 the price was $12.50 a pound. The new route to India was in search of sugar and spice and the wealth of the In­ dies. By 1494 the Spanish and Por­ tuguese had planted sugar cane in San Domingo and at the beginning of the 16th century it had been in­ troduced in the West Indies and South America. Later the Jesuit Fathers of San Domingo sent the cane and slaves to Louisiana. iCanada imported 9,67 5,384 lbs. of raw sugar in 193 8, valued at $17,860,202. Canadian people con­ sume yearly about 100 pounds of sugar per capita in various forms. BRAY CHICKS BRAY HATCHERY, EXETER, Phone 246 or Ben Case, R. R.

Teacher: “Now, Janey, can you give me Napoleon’s nationality?” Janey: “Course I can.” Teacher: “Yes, that is correct,” would find these secondary roads a means of avoiding congestion and delay. To the end of promoting traffic safety and motoring comfort, depart­ ment of highways engineers have mapped out alternative routes which, if followed, will relieve some of the pressure on the main routes and help to avoid some of the heavy con­ gestion. The map above emphasizes the roads, apart from the principal highways, by which motorists may travel safely and comfortably to see the Royal celebrations.

OF 21 CHILDREN Canada’s champion pappy, Onez- ime Masse, father of a brood of 21, feels that bis record has brought him more fame than fortune. “What has all this got me?” he complained. The youngest of the family, Marthe, recently celebrated her second birthday, ‘We had our pictures in the papers but it never made any money for us, except perhaps a little at the gaso­ line station.” And it, he declared, is standinng idle during the winter on the Blucy Water Highway. I used to think that young people should marry early, but that was in our day, when if you didn’t have much money you could alwaygr-find lots of work. But what can a young man hope for now? I got married when I was twenty. Now if boys will take my advice they will not get married until they are 28 or 30 and have some money saved.” Mrs. Masse was a bride of 19 and a grandmother at 42. Now six of her children are married, and there are nine grandchildren. With 15 of the children still at home, the commissary problem is still enough to stump many parents. “It has been a big job to get all enough to eat,” Mr. Masse admitted. “I rent this 150 acres from an es­ tate in England through a law firm in Toronto. I work another 150 on shares. The older children help out and we have had a hired man for the ipast six years. 'Besides I am road foreman on this part of the provin­ cial highways—the Blue Water trail north from Grand Bend and No. 84 running east to Hensall.” Buys Food in Quantity Daddy Masse buys a 100-pound bag of flour every 'Saturday, so that the elder girls can bake from six to nine loaves of bread a day. The cus­ tomary program of killing a 200-lb. pig every couple of weeks was re­ cently interrupted when the ' farm produced a pig that, according to Mrs. Masse, “must have weighed 600 pounds,” Intermixed with that sort of ra­ tion is the occasional' “beef”; and for state occasions turkey and chick­ en come u>p on the bill of fare. On New Year’s Day all the family came home for dinner, and some supple­ mented the rooster with chicken of their own. To meet the situation, Mrs. Masse and the elder girls this year roasted a 24-pound turkey and seven chickens. All these were serv­ ed and pretty well disposed of at one meal. The Masses are very proud of the fact that all of theii’ children have an equally, good command of both English and French languages. Except when Daddy Masse had a ruptured appendix, from which he made an almost miraculous recov­ ery in 19 34, the Masses have had little need for doctors. New arrivals saw the first and last of medical care in the first few days of life, and all ■are healthy and happy. — London Free Press.
