All-Year Coast to Coast Service
Ottawa—Establishment of airports
equipped for the year-round use of
giant metal passenger planes will be
an essential feature of the coast-to-
coast daily air service which Trans
port Minister C. D, Howe hopes to
see at least partially in operation by
autumn. Cities- on the line of the pro
posed service, not so equipped, will
have to be passed over until adequate
ports are constructed.
tp the Provincial Treasury, will be
launched immediately into estates
which the Government believes owe
the Province succession duties on
concealed assets. "We have a large
number of estates to investigate, in
volving huge amounts of money,” said
Premier Hepburn.
U,S. Department Will Not Reply
Washington «— The State Depart
ment probably will not reply to in
formal representations by the German
Embassy, against George, Cardinal
Mundelein’s criticism of Chancellor
Adolf Hitler as "an Austrian paper-
hanger, and a poor one at that,” Sec
retary Cordell Hull said.
No Recognition of C.I?O. by Silknit
With absolutely no recognition of
the G.I.O.’s United Textile Workers
of America, the strike at the Ontario
Silknit Limited came to an end on
Thursday. So, in its initial drive to
whip the textile workers of this pro
vince into shape in the name of John
L. Lewis, the C.I.O. went down to
defeat,
Clergyman Prevents Wreck
North Bay—Presence of mind and
prompt action by Rev. H. A. Sims,
rector of St. John’s Anglican Church,
North Bay, prevented a possible train
wreck on the Canadian National Rail
ways track between Sturgeon Falls
and North Bay. Finding an abandon
ed and overturned truck on the tracks
at a level crossing near Beaucage,
Rev. Mr. Sims shed his coat so that
his white shirt could be seen by the
engineer, and waving a flashlight
flagged and stopped the crack Con
tinental Limited.
Italy Against Withdrawal of Troops
London—As reports were circulated
and denied that Premier Mussolini
had informed the Spanish insurgents
that Italian troops would be with
drawn from Spain, Havas News Ag
ency reported that diplomatic circles
believed Germany and Italy would op
pose a truce
to facilitate
volunteers.-

Race Unlikely
Quebec to Fight C.I.O.
Montreal—Quebec's industry and
Labor alike are awaiting with grow
ing tension what promises to be a
fight to the finish between John L.
Lewis’s Committee for Industrial Or
ganization on the one hand, and as
sorted national unions headed by the
National Catholic Syndicates, and
backed by the Quebec Provincial au
thorities, on the other.
No Religious Marriage for Edward
Monts, France—Following the an
nouncement by Herman L. Rogers,
spokesman for the Duke of Windsor,
that his Royal Highness and Mrs.
Wallis Warfield had abandoned hope
for a religious ceremony to supple
ment the civil rite of marriage on
June 3, it was learned here that the
British Dominions are playing a
strong role in the situation. The Do
minions were said to have brought
pressure to bear on the London Gov
ernment to ostracize the Duke polit
ically and socially because of his de
termination to wed the twice-divorc
ed' woman and force her claims to
Royal status.
Atlantic Air
Chicago—Whether a transatlantic
air race to Paris will take place this
summer appeared to hinge on the pos
sibility of the French Government
permitting a switch of the starting
point from the. United States to some
other North American country. While
aviation circles here pondered the an
nouncement by Jimmy Mattern, noted
flier, that Canada probably would be
the starting point for the Lindbergh
memorial race, frowned on by the
United States Commerce Department
as "a stunt flight,” French officials
cast further doubt on the race ma
terializing.
Coal Miners Strike Below Ground
Gillespie, Ill.—The President of the
Superior . Coal Company offered to
discuss settlement of a sit-down strike
of approximately 500 men in the
depths of one of the company’s mines

for a long siege. Amply provisioned,
supplied with blankets and a variety
of musical instruments, they sang,
played cards, read and ate 360 feet
below the surface of No. 4 mine at
nearby Wilsonville, a small village.
Plan Budget Scheme for Medical
Services
Simcoe—For $6.50 a month, a fam
ily of four will be able to budget ag
ainst costs of illness, if plans of the
recently incorporated associated! med
ical services materialize. Plans were
outlined here. Under provisions of a
prepaid medical service, which the
body hopes to put into effect in Tor
onto, Oxford and Norfolk district
within a month, a subscriber will be
charged $2 a month, his first depend-
'ent $1.75, second dependent 1.50, third
dependent $1.25 and fourth and each
subsequent dependent $1.
King Visits His Fleet
Portsmouth—King George VI, who
knows sea life at first hand, review
ed his navy in the colorful and thun
derous pageantry of flagged warships,
Royal salutes and cheers of an esti
mated 1,000,000 spectators. The King
—a sublieutenant on the battleship.
Collingwood in the Great War’s naval
battle at Jutland in 1916—stood on
the bridge of the Royal Yacht Vic
toria and Albert, clasping the rail,
throughout the” review.,
Douglas May Come to Alberta
Edmonton—Major C. H. Douglas,
British economist, may come to Al
berta later this year to act as tech
nical adviser in connection with the
inauguration of Social Credit in the
Province, Dr. J. L. McPherson, act
ing Chairman of the Social Credit
Board said.
TREATMENT FOR
GLADIOLI BULBS
Some timely advice is offered by
the Division of Botany, Dominion Ex
perimental Farms, concerning gladioli
now that it is time to plant gladioli
bulbs which were cleaned, and put
away last fall. If they were stored at
the proper temperature, that is abo-ut
40 degrees F, they should have come
through the winter in good condition.
If the skins are removed now, as
they should be prior to treating, it
may be found that a few corms have
spots of one kind or another on their
surfaces. These are probably the signs
of the presence of some bacterial or
fungous disease, and corms so affect
ed should be burned. If high priced
corms become diseased, it may be
possible to cut out the lesions before
treating.
All corms should be treated before
planting. Soak in a solution of cor
rosive sublimate (1 oz. to 6 gals, of
water) for not less than 3 hours. Re
move corms from the solution, dry in
the shade and plant. A suspension of
calomel in water.may be used instead
of the corrosive sublimate at the rate
of 2 ozs. to each gallon of water.
This mixture must be stirred vigor
ously before corms are dipped into
it, since the calomel tends to settle
if left standing very long. Corms
may be left in the calomel dip for
three hours and can then be removed,
and’ either dried in the shade or
planted immediately. Use porcelain
or wooden vessels for the solutions.
. The choice of soil depends, of
course, on the size of the garden and
the number of corms planted. The
ideal system is to practice rotation,
and place the gladioli in a different
spot in the garden each year, This
is desirable since most of the fungi
and bacteria causing diseases of glad"
ioli are soil borne, and if established
in the garden will prove to be a
source of continual trouble.
Protective sprays, or dusts such as
Bordeau Mixture or sulphur dust may
be applied occasionally during the ear
ly summer months if leaf spotting be
comes troublesome,
TO KEEP ANTS
OUT OF HOMES
Although the majority of the Can
adian species of ants live in colonies
or nests outdoors, they frequently
cause annoyance by invading kitchens
and pantries in search of food. One
of the most common and troublesome
household species, known as the red
ant or pharaoh's Ant, confines itself
entirely to heated buildings such as
bakeries, restaurants, and houses. This
tiny, reddish-yellow ant had its origin
in the tropics. The common large
carpenter ant, although normally an
outdoor species nesting principally in
decaying wood, frequently occurs in
dwellings, chiefly frame houses and
summer cottages, and may cause in
jury to woodwork as' well as annoy
ance by its presence. A third com
mon species is the small yellowish-
brown lawn ant which nests in lawns
and gardens, often entering houses in
search of food.
The most satisfactory material so
far discovered for destroying ants is
sodium fluoride, sold by druggists in
the form of a fine white powder. This
powder should be scattered or dusted
lightly in places frequented by the

Ants may be discouraged from en
tering houses by keeping shelves,
tables, and floors in kitchens and
pantries as free as possible from
crumbs and other food fragments, and
by storing foodstuffs in ant-proof con
tainers. Further information on the
control of ants is given in a mimeo*

EACH successive year has seen motor traffic greatly increased. With this
increase there has come, unfortunately, an increase in traffic accidents.
It is the duty of those responsible for the regulation of the traffic, and of
every individual who • operates a motor vehicle, to do everything .possible
to reduce these ever-mounting and alarming accident figures.
The Government and my department have taken every precaution within
our means to make motoring safe. We have built wider highways, have
painted traffic lines on the pavements, have erected signs at every curve,
intersection and railway crossing, have continuously patrolled the roads with
uniformed police and in mimy other ways .have striven earnestly to reduce
traffic accidents.
And you, Mr. and Mrs. Motorist, truck-driver and 'motorcyclist! Have you
done everything you possibly can to prevent accidents that may kill you
and your family or some other persons to whom life is also sweet?
If you will just remember to Try Courtesy in all your thinking and driving
in a motor vehicle you will have macle your greatest possible contribiition
to the reduction of motor vehicle accidents.
Please remember there will be more traffic than ever this season and there
will be more accidents and deaths, too, (atad that may include you) unless
there is more Courtesy shown by every motorist towards every other motorist.
So, again, I beg of you to “Try Courtesy” every inch of the way this Season.
Do that and you will get safely to where you are going and safely hack again.
