Rhone 266 TENT CATERPILLARS 1940 OUTBREAK FEARED Periodically tlie forest tent cater­ pillar has appeared in the Prairie Provinces in huge numbers, and it is feared that there will be another outbreak in many localities in the Prairie Provinces in 1940. This in­ sect is a pest of forest, shade, shel­ terbelt, and fruit trees. The value of shelterbelts in the protection of crops, especially in drought areas is becoming thoroughly realized by prairie farmers. The need for in­ creased production in connection with the emergencies arising out of the present war greatly7 enhances the importance of protecting tre,es and shelterbelts against the rav­ ages of insects. The cause of the fear of an out­ break in 1940 exists, at the present time, in the eastern and northern regions of the prairie-parkland belt in Saskatchewan in the form of localized infestations at St. Hubert Mission Melville, Nut Mountain, Sub Rosa, Melfort and Tisdale, and.at Courval, Saskatchewan, southwest of Moose Jaw. Unless natural factors become more effective against this pest, the present outbreak will no doubt assume much greater ^propor­ tions during the coming seas’on with the result that considerable defol­ iation of shelterbelts and shade trees in certain areas may be ex­ pected. The eggs of the forest tent cater­ pillar are laid in late summer and early fall n clusters which com­ pletely encircle twigs and small branches. Hitching occurs in the spring about the time when the leaves are bursting. The larvae are dusky brown with fine yellow­ ish-brown lorsal and lateral stripes and a row of key-hole shaped white spots along the back. They are co­ vered with long brown hairs. When full grown, the larvae measure ap­ proximately two inches in length. They are themselves in yellowish white silken cocoons which may be seen attached to trees grass, fence posts, rails, buildings, etc., and emerge in July as moths. The moths have a wing expanse of one to one and one-quarter inches. They are rustyred to pale fawn in colour and the forewings have two pale oblique lines bordering a wide dark trans­ verse band. Artifical control of the forest tent caterpillar is not practical in forests. It is, however, valuable in checking infestations of shade and fruit trees and in shelterbelts. If the larvae are few in number and occur on small trees, brooms or brushes may be used to destroy the caterpillars when they are clus­ tered oh the tree trunks. If pres­ ent in geat numbers or on large trees, spraying is more effective. An arsenical spray composed of 2 lbs. AT WEEKLY PRESS CONVENTION (Continued from Page 1) taken to follow out the suggestion of Mr. Simmons. After luncheon the party visited the Edison institute, the Museum and a number of the buildings at Greenfied, Village which depicts early American life* Old fashioned cabs and carryalls, horse-driven, conveyed the visitors about the place. Among the buildings are sawmills, brick factory, village pot­ tery, glass plant, the Wright Brothers cycle shop, and the Wright home, carding mill, blacksmith shop toll house, tintype studio, Sir John Bennett’s jewelry store brought from England, a general store, stone mill, slave huts, Luther Burbank’s birthplace, Edison's homestead, a Cotswold cottage brought from Eng­ land and numerous other buildings. An interesting visit was made to the Edison laboratory where Thom­ as A- Edison achieved some of h*is brilliant discoveries which has meant so much in our modern day progress. In this building Edison produced the first practical incan­ descent lamp and worked out his electric-lighting system. It was also in this building where Edison in­ vented the first phonograph, also the microphone and telephone trans­ mitter. The laboratory is set UP just as Edison worked in it in those early days and the man who assist­ ed Mr. Edison with these inventions, Francis Jehl, is now in charge of the laboratory. The Museum After visiting many of the build­ ings, the party wound up at the mu­ seum, The main exhibition hall of the museum covers approximately eight acres and in it are represent­ ed three divisions, Agriculture, Manufacture and Transportation. The agricultural section contains the crude farm implements used in the early days of hand cultivation, in the division of manufactured ar­ ticles the various kinds of old steam power plants are on display. Tele­ phones from the various early mo­ dels and talking machines of all kinds show the rapid prograss made in the short number of years. In the transportation section lo­ comotives from the early steam en­ gines to the present, flying ma­ chines of every description and au­ tomobiles of all the early makes, manufactured in the United States and elsewhere, where on display. The museum in Greenfield Village was dedicated in 1909, and was founded by Mr. Henry Ford and named after his friend, Mr. Thomas A. Edison. A‘t 7.30 in the evening a banquet was held in the Prince Edward Ho­ tel, Windsor. At this banquet Mr. Lee A. White, director of Public Re­ lations of the Detroit News, gave an address on “Public Relations, the Problem of the Press.” Saturday was devoted to the convention when numerous phases of newspaper work was discussed. At the noon lunch­ eon, Rev. M. C. Davies, conductor of “The Quiet Sanctuary Hour” over CKLW, gave an address on “The (Force of Moral Conviction in These Days of Stress.” During the after-1 noon, Mr. A. W. (Andy) Clark, whose “Neighborly News” is heard each Sunday morning ovei- a Cana­ dian network gave an interesting address showing how he gathers the news from the 150 weekly news­ papers of Ontario and boils the in­ teresting facts down into a fifteen minute address. We had the pleas­ ure of meeting Mr. Clark and he paid us a splendid compliment on the editorials appearing in the Times-Advocate. Sunday Afternoon at Fort Malden By special invitation a number of the members remained over to at­ tend the Ford Sunday Evening Hour broadcast from Detroit. Those re­ maining were invited to the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Marsh of the Amherstburg Echo, who graciously entertained the party to afternoon tea at their fine home adjoining the site of old Fort Malden. Mr,, and Mrs. Marsh have been highly es­ teemed members Of the Press Asso­ ciation for many years, and Mrs. Marsh was presented with a beau­ tiful bouquet of flowers. John Marsh who has been associated with his father, is about to realize the fulfil­ ment of his fondest dream, in the erection of a museum and the pre­ servation of the site of old FoA Malden, the only bit of Canadian property captured from the English by the Americans in the War of 1812-13-14. A museum has just been’ erected on the site of the Fort that will house many of the old records and relics with Mr. John Marsh as honorary curator. The museum will be opened in a very Short time. It was at Fort Malden that General Proctor surrended to the American army. Tecumseh, the great Indian warrior was associated with General Proctor and counsell­ ed against the surrender. It was also at Fort Malden that General Brock had his headquarters. It is a picturesque site, and one that might well be preserved as one of our na­ tional historic shrines. Leaving the party at Amherstburg, we followed the shore of Lake Erie, to Blenheim, and spent a pleasant hour with Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moise and family, who are now comfort­ ably located in their new home. From Blenheim we motored to Sdm- bra and spent the night with Rev, R. E. and Mrs. Southcott before re­ turning home.

LEAVITT’S THEATRE “Gone With the Wind” COMING AT AN EARLY DATE » * * It is a mammoth picture. Vast in its sweep, alive in its color, vivid in its characterization, “Gone With the Wind” is one of those rare films which truly is big. It paints a broad picture of the old South and paints it with the eloquent personal story of the Scarlett O’Hara who adored her plantation with a furious pas­ sion. In employing Vivien Leigh to play Scarlett, Clark Gable to play Rhett Butler, Olivia de Havilland and Leslie Howard to impersonate the Wilkes, producer Selznick gave it the substantial cast it deserved. Rousing spectacular effects paint the story. Done in color, they have a majesty and splendor which are vehemently impressive. In its size and its sweep ‘Gone With the Wind’ is a picture no one should miss. It runs nigh on to four hours. But not a minute of it is dull.

FAITH — If OPE — CHARITY In the practice of the three great Scriptural virtues - Faith, Hope and Charity - we are told to place par­ ticular emphasis upon Charity, According to the capable commen­ tators, Charity has a mu'ch wider meaning than mere alms-giving. It embraces' the whole duty of man to man. Modern translators sub­ stitute the word Love for Charity. This connects it with the Golden Rule, wherein we are commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves. The personal equation must not be omitted. * A man may bestow his riches to heal the sick, feed the hungry, edu­ cate the ignorant - and still not be 100 per cent, charitable. There is a cynical proverb to the effect that Charity is a cloak which covers a multitude of sins. Like many of these parroted sayings, it is a bald lie. In the name of Char­ ity, misdeeds may be ignored, but Charity is of so pure and transpar­ ent a texture that it has nothing to conceal, and' in turn can conceal nothing. We are also informed that Char­ ity begins at home - and frequent­ ly ends there. So be it. If the supply is1 limited, by all means let the home remain the sole benefic­ iary. Real 'Charity does not neglect the home in order to scatter uplift upon the community at large. 'Charity - Brotherly Love - cannot be expressed in mere figures, for it entails self-sacrifice, helpfulness, unselfishness, tolerance and a feel­ ing of responsibility for the welfare of others. * 4s * TELL THE WOR LD Did you know that Paul Revere had two companions on his famous Midnight Ride? Neither did we — that shows we are defecient on history and it also proves that it pays to advertise. There were three men waiting to see the signal hung in the tower of the old Norch 'Church and each was mounted and spurred, each had a route to cover, each had important work to do and each did his job. Just as Longfellow described the ride of Paul Revere, they all three road and waked the farmers. After­ wards, one was an officer in Wash­ ington’s Army, the other became Governor of his^ state. Both of the other two men were outstanding and important, yet not one in a mil­ lion Americans can name the other two men — at the same time, there is hardly an American who cannot tell you who Paul Revere was and what he did. Many of the country’s most suc­ cessful men began their careers as newsboys. There is something about the occuption of news vending that sharpens the wits, develops in­ itiative, teaches thrift and punc­ tuality.
