The ice, believed to have been about three feet thick, was considerably weakened by a four-day warm .spell which saw temperatures of from 60 to 80 degrees. Quick action by ground crews saved the plane from being completely submerged. —C.P.C.

PATRICK’S CHURCH. Saintsbury I TWO SHOWS: 7:30 & 9:30 DST Meat From Diseased Area Reaches W.O.: Gardiner The agricultural committee of Canada’s Commons began Thurs­ day its investigation ^.nto the Saskatchewan outbreak of foot- and-mouth disease —an inquiry which may take on all the aspects of a “trial” of Federal Department officials. The Commons gave consent to an immediate start of the hear­ ings after Agriculture Minister James Gardiner capitulated to Opposition demands that he table documents and correspondence relating to the epidemic and its handling. That correspondence indicated that Dr. T. Childs, Canada’s vet­ erinary director general, had countermanded orders for la­ boratory tests in Hull in mid­ Tired Of Your Present Taxes? Read What They Paid In 1841 Is your income tax too high? Do you resent the ettes, gas or cars? Just for the fun you were living in in 1841. Here’s how you’d pay youi’ taxes. If you were wearing or using hair powder you paid the govern­ ment foi’ the privilege. You were .taxed so much for every jnale servant you had in the house. Your dogs and your horses were the subjects of duty. You even paid for sunshine inside your home. Every window in every building was taxable. This information comes from “Moore’s Almanack Improved” or “Will’s Farmer and Country­ man’s Calender”—a red leather bound book owned by George Barnes of Centralia, who found it among the possessions of his grandfather, George W. Barnes. The almanack contains every­ thing from “Astrological Pre­ figurations” to an article telling the dairy maid how to milk her cow. It also tells the farmer what to do every month. For instance, here’s what far­ mers should be doing In May, according to “Will’s Farmer”: “Cross-harrow and plough fallows; if buck-wheat, barley, grass-seed, or potatoes, remain unsown, finish this work as early as possible; about May 12, break summer-pastures; bleed horned cattle; buy in your in- calves for milk; take brood mares to horse; ihg to fallows, rooks, magpies, bees—they now tax on cigar- of it, pretend Great Britain take carry out dress- destroy moles, etc.; look after begin to swarm; pare your laud for burning; weed Wheat, and toll It; lay up clover intended for hay or seed; cut turf and prepare winter firing; you may still plant fir-trees; geld your colts; weed quicksets; reclaim hogs; about the end of the month plough fallows that ginning.” On milking cows, the alman­ ack says: “The operation of differently performed districts. In some, the dips her hand into a and, by successively stripping the teat between her fingers and thumb, unloads the udder. This plan has the disadvantage of irritating the teat, and rendering it liable to cracks and chaps, which are followed by inflamma­ tion, extending round them. “These effects may be almost entirely avoided by the more scientific plan of milking adopt­ ed in other parts of the country; where, instead of drawing down the teat between the thumb and the fingers, the dairy maid follows more closely the prin­ ciples which instinct has taught the calf. She first takes a slight hold of the teat with her hand, by which she it. She grasps origin with her finger, so as to which is in the ing upwards; i finger to close from above down­ wards in succession, forces out what may be contained in the teat through the opening of it.” In “Political Retrospect” the English publication has this to say about Canada: “Canada remains quiet, and the measures of the governor­ general, Lord Sydenham, seem to give satisfaction to a majority of the colonists. It is to be hoped that the act for uniting the two provinces will accomplish Its purpose. Some time must, How­ ever, elapse, and much firmness be blended, with a eonciliatory spirit, before Canada can be com­ pletely pacified. milking is in various dairy maid little milk, merely encircles ; it close to its ■ thumb and fore- i prevent the milk i teat from escap- then making the Tuesday, May 6 8:00 p.m. ADMISSION .40 & .25 TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY May 6 and 7 IT WHOLESALE Susan Hayward and Dan Dailey with George Sanders GET ★ ★ ★ NEWSREEL & COMICS Sponsored by the Girls’ Guild February. Within two weeks, however, such tests had estab­ lished the Saskatchewan scourge as foot and mouth. Too, it showed the shipments of beef from a Regina packing firm found its way into Western Ontario before the nature of the disease had been determined. While the minister denied that he had refused yesterday to table the data, his reluctance to give the Commons the material resulted in a threatened motion to call him before the bar of the House. Mr. Gardiner submitted anew today that much of the corre­ spondence was privileged; that civil servants involved should have an opportunity to explain any or all of the messages. Be­ cause of this, the minister moved, as soon as he had tabled the material, that the committee convene Thursday. According to one of the notes, shipments of beef went to Wind­ sor on January 15, January 23, and February 1. One shipment went to Walkerville, dated Jan­ uary 31. About 60 shipments in all went to various places in Canada and the United States. This was the first time that information had been available that such shipments had gone into Western Ontario. The significance of this, simply is the fact that the foot and mouth virus may remain for a considerable period in the bones of frozen meats. The danger thus would be in a Windsor butcher handling that meat, discarding an infected bone which might be carried away by a dog. This con­ ceivably would lead to a spread of the disease in Western On­ tario. Condition Satisfactory Rev. H. J. Snell, pastor of James Street United Church, was stricken with a recurrence of an old trouble Sunday morn­ ing and service at the church was taken by Rev. C. W. Down assisted by J. M. Southcott. Mr. D. Insley played a selection on liis electric guitar. Next Sunday special Sunday School annivers­ ary services will be held with, the intermediate school leading the service of song. Mr. Snell under­ went an X-ray in London Mon­ day and received a satisfactory report on his condition. Dies In London Hubert Grovier, the father of Mrs. Ed.
