Campaign in Trafalgar Square, Typical cries heard from the crowd were; ‘‘Hands off Austria!’.’ “Czechoslovakia must remain free!” “Chamberlain must go!” “Support the Covenant of the League of Nations!” 92 YEARS OLD AND FIT AS A FIDDLE Austria Part,of Germany Vienna — Austria ceased to be a nation Saturday night ahd: became a part of Adolf Hitler's German Reich, extending from the North Sea almost to the Adriatic. The end of the pol­ itical freedom of ancient Austria was achieved by two legal steps: First, President Wilhelm Miklas resigned. He had opposed the Nazification of his country, and Dr, Arthur von Sey- ess-Inquart was made Chancellor, Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler entered Vienna Monday in triumph, to claim the land of his birth as a part of-the German Reich, extending his military might from the Baltic to Brenner Pass, with 74,000,000 German-speak­ ing subjects under his domination. Hitler proclaimed Austria and her 6,- 700,000 people as “a land of the Ger­ man Reich.” Blum Forms Cabinet Paris — France considered means to strengthen her treaty with Czecho­ slovakia to guard that republic from any German move as formation of a new Popular Front Cabinet by Soc­ ialist Leon Blum was announced. The treaty would be revised, foreign of­ fice officials said, to provide military action even in the. event Chancellor Hitler, of Germany, should attempt “peaceful” Nazification created requblic, with Germans, such as he Austria. Claim Dominion Right to Income Tax MONTREAL — Hon, J, L, Jlsley, national revenue minister, asserted in an address here that Ottawa bad a “legal and moral” right to levy in­ come tax. He said if the Dominion Government retired from that field the result would be a series of budget deficits which would destroy the na­ tion’s credit, “and surely nobody would want that to happen.” Will Continue Sponsorship of Germans Berlin — Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering, ruling temporarily over the Third Reich, warned the world that “German cannon fire will be ready” to repulse any nation dar­ ing to interfere with Adolf Hitler’s “sponsorship” of all Germans, whe­ ther it be in Austria or Czechoslo­ vakia, of the war- its 3,500,000 imposed on Aberhart to Appeal to Privy Council Edmonton — Premier Aberhart an­ nounced the Alberta Government will appeal to the Privy Council against the judgments of the Supreme Court of Canada declaring three pieces' of Provincial legislation unconstitution­ al and upholding, the Federal right of disallowance and the right of Lieutenant-Governor to reserve sent on Provincial legislation. Takes Kruschen Every Morning “J feel in duty bound,” writes Mrs. A.J.W., “to express my gratitude for the marvellous results my father 'has obtained from Krpschen Salts. He is ninety-two years old, and is as fit as a fiddle. He can get around easily, and even run up and down stairs. His friends marvel why it is he is always alert, and never feels listless, He al­ ways tells then the reason:' ‘my .reg­ ular daily dose of Kruschen Salts in my first cup of. tea every morning’.” —(Mrs.) A.J.W. jMost people grow old long before cheir time because they neglect one vital need of health — the need fofr internal cleanliness. Eventually they start the healthy Kruschen habit. Then, probably for the first time in their lives, they start getting rid every day -of all waste matter from the system. Instead of being clogged the intestines are clean and clear. Instead of liver and kid­ neys being sluggish they are active and efficient. New, healthy blood goes coursing through the veins — carrying health and strength and en­ ergy to every part of the body. ance of thjs country’s industrial de­ velopment,” was voiced in the Legis­ lature, by Arthur W, Roebuck, Tor- onto-Bellwoods. In his first consid­ ered public utterance on the present power situation since the negotiatiing of new agreements with the Quebec companies, Mr. Roebuck' accused the Queen’s Park Administration, of which he was once a member, of es­ tablishing this Province as sales ag­ ent for the ’’power barons,” and of pleading a financial disaster to Hy* dro—-‘which it has voluntarily accept­ ed”—as a reason for changing the na­ tional power policy of Canada. Imports and Exports to U.S. Up Washington United States ex­ ports to Canada in 1937 were valued at $509,508,000, while imports from the Dominion totalled $398,539,000, In reporting these figures the De- parment of Commerce pointed out the export total was an increase of $125,- 000,000 or 33 per cent over 1936, while the imports represented an in­ crease of $22,7000,000, or 6 per cent. News and Information For the Busy Farmer HYDRO LAMPS The Lon$ JJft . the as- Hitler’s Move Makes Italy Wonder Rome — The Italian Government, haying received assurances from Chancellor Hitler that the Brenner Pass frontier between Austria and It­ aly would never be violated, announc­ ed that it would not intervene “under any circumstances” in Austrian dom­ estic policy. But although reassured by Chancellor Hitler’s declaration Demonstration at German Embassy London — Demonstrators paraded past the German Embassy, shouting for the resignation of Prime Minister Chamberlain. Thirty policemen on foot charged the crowd to free a mounted policeman surrounded by men who apparently sought to pull him off his horse. No arrests were .made. The demonstration followed a meeting'organized by the Internation­ Clemency to Be Denied Russians Moscow — Soviet newspapers indi­ cated that clemency would be denied 21 confessed and convicted traitors, and Moscow waited for announce­ ment, probably before the week is ov­ er, that eighteen' of them had been shot. Verdicts of death for eighteen and’ long imprisonment for the other three were delivered Saturday night. Heads Mounted Police Ottawa — Coloned S, T. Wood, member of the historic force since 1912, was appointed Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Justice Minister Lapointe announced the appointment of Colonel Wood, who followed a family tradition in his service with the world-famous “Moun- ties.” His father was the late Zach­ ary T. Wood, Assistant Commission­ er of the R.C.M.P., who died in 1915. Frozen Vegetables Asparagus, beans, corn, peas, and Spinach were the principal products in the frozen vegetable pack in Can­ ada in 1937. Like the Canadian froz­ en fruit pack', they are finding a ready market in the hotel and restaurant­ trade, but, as they, require a temper­ ature of about zero, they cannot be offered to the general public until proper storage facilities are available in the retail grade. Wingham Utilities Commission Phone 156. Unemployment Insurance In Doubt Ottawa — The success of Prime Minister Mackenzie King’s plans for unemployment insurance is now in grave doubt, it was indicated in the House of Commons with the tabling of correspondence between Mr. King and six Provincial Premiers. T.B. Clinics May Be Established Provision for free examination Government-sponsored T.B. clinics on a county unit plan is being considered in the Ontario Budget that is to be brought down in the Ontario Legisla­ ture next Friday. Hon. H. J. Kirkby, Minister of Health, refused to com­ ment on the Government’s program, other than to confirm his recent House statement that he was vitally interested in preventive medicine. in Starters and Cheese One of the most important factors in determining the quality of the cheese is the starter which is used to hasten and control-the acid fermen­ tation of the milk, and it is, there­ fore, highly important that uniform starters of high quality be used. A starter correctly made and handled cannot harm the product in any way; rather it should improve it, whatever the quality of the milk may be. The question of starters is wholly under the control of the maker, only himself to blame if of his product is injured of a poor starter. and he has the quality by the use In our Interest and Yours! The Brewing Industry has a selfish reason for the hope that the idea of Control will supplant the idea that law can make men temperate. For excess and abuse are as much the enemies of our industry as they are the enemies of the law. If dependence is placed on restrictions, the ex­ perience of Prohibition will be repeated. Restrictions from the outside which refuse the individual the right to exercise his own judgment provoke resistance. Excess and abuse by the individual can be curbed only by the exercise of his judgment. Thus the fundamental principle of Control is that the drinker, Kot the drink is the problem! So we ask you, the majority of the citizens of this Province, to join us in making the system of Control work, by yourselves observing the law and by your example encouraging others to observe it. You will agree with us, that, far from helping temperance, harm is done by those dry extremists whose method of approach and propaganda ignore fundamental principles of human nature. (o . . ° TOWARDS SAFER DRIVING : Everyone abhors the drunken driver. He is a S menace and all good citizens should help to § eliminate him. BUT the Ministry of Highway figures show that 98.9% of all accidents and 97.4% of all fatalities were not classified caused by drunken drivers. ° • This advertisement is inserted by the Brewing Industry in the interest of a better public understanding of the prob* lems of temperance and local option* Open Door Policy on Power Exports Ottawa—Prime Minister Mackenzie King informed the House of Commons that his Government is maintaining an "open door” policy on the question of exporting surplus power to the United States. Simultaneously with his declaration regarding his Admin­ istration’s power policy came a fore­ cast from the Prime Minister that a Federal Public Utilities Commission would eventually have to be estab­ lished to handle the export question. Urges Lawyers Be Bonded Three points in a legislative pro­ gram to bond lawyers, curb million­ aire tax evasion and check drunken and reckless driving, were recom­ mended to the Hepburn Government in debate speech by Fred G. McBrien, Cons., Parkdale. The Toronto mem­ ber, himself a lawyer, pressed most vigorously for a bonding measure de­ claring that 'every practicing lawyer should be bonded to protect the pub­ lic from the misappropriation and theft of funds held by members of the profession on behalf of clients. Of to May Probe Joint Management of Railways Ottawa — A special committee the Senate will likely be appointed probe the whole question of joint management of the Canadian Nation­ al and Canadian Pacific Railways. Senator F. B. Black (Cons., Sack- ville) declared he would move for the appointment of the committee. The committee proposal was approv­ ed by Senator Arthur Meighen, Op­ position Leader in the Upper House, and for the Government Senator Raoul Dandurand declared he would like to have representatives of both railways called to discuss greater co­ operation. - Has Two Hearts Perth, Australia — West Australian doctors, after examining James Al- vara, 57, have announced the Italian timber clearer has two hearts. He has a normal heart larger than usual sit­ uated on the right side of the body. On the left side of his body the normal position for the heart is a smaller organ with a subsidiary beat. Roebuck Attacks Power Deal Unqualified disapproval of the Hep­ burn Government’s proposal to export power to the United States, on the ground that, apart from the saving to Hydro, export was not “in further- Horses in Demand In nine breeding station districts in Canada, saddle and hunter horses, and horses for police, remount, and light delivery purposes, are being produc­ ed in considerable numbers. This type of horse is in keen demand in Canada and in the United States, and there is little likelihood of any decline in popularity. Horse breeding clubs among Canadian farmers increased from 125 in 1933 to 254 in 1937, while the number of purebred stallions qualifying for approval in 1937 show­ ed an increase of 21 per cent, over 1936. reported as disappointed at prevailing market prices for their cattle. In Hal­ dimand a definite move has been made towards having the county de­ clared as a tuberculosis-free area. The county council has already approved the movement and the Livestock Im­ provement Association is proceeding with the passing of petitions. Middle­ sex has experienced some floods in low areas due to heavy rains. Wheat is still green there and in good con­ dition though fear has been expressed because of lack of snow. Quite a de­ mand for horses has been noticed among the tobacco growers or Nor­ folk county and good teams are bringing from $300 to 450. Demand Fur springers and new milkers in Prince Edward County appears ot be a little brisker, both from American and other outside buyers, at fairly satisfactory prices. Horses arc also selling well there. Livestock in East­ ern Ontario is in fairly good condi­ tion considering the scarcity of home­ grown Feeds and the high price of commercial feeding stuffs. PRINC1PALS OP GRADING The grading of farm products is based on the principle that it is sound business to classify live stock in such a way that the consumer will be able to recognize and purchase quality products, and that the price premium which the consumer will pay for the better grades should be returned to the producer of them. Practice has proven the value of the theory involv­ ed in the grading principle. Grading activities have been a tremendous in­ centive to quality production, with re­ sultant price beriefit to producers.

The dates set for thq. meetings are June 15th, 16th, and 17th, 1938, and plans are under way for a busy three days. It is expected that workers in the pro­ motion of improved seed production from coast to coast will be in attend­ ance. Officers coming from the west will include the President, Mr, F. W. Townley-Smith, Lashburn, Sask., and the Vice-President, Mr. F. L. Dickin­ son, from Winnipeg, Man. The Sec­ retary-Treasurer of the Association is Mr. W. T. G. Wiener, Ottawa, Ont. Alfalfa Hay Crop Moves Movement of the 1937 bumper crop of alfalfa hay from Haldimand Coun­ ty is now in full swing. It is estimat­ ed that last year’s crop of 3,000 tons will be exceeded. A large portion of the crop is mov­ ing to the large dairy herds in the Eastern States. Considerable alfalfa is being ground into meal for export and domestic consumption. Up to eight alfalfa meal mills have been" grinding in the Caledonia district at one time. An­ though the plant is one of the oldest under cultivation, it is 'only in recent years that it has been grown here generally, and it seems to* thrive on the heavy clay land. Haldimand and Peel are two of the banner producing counties in the Province. Current Farm Report Bruce County reports a smaller mortality in pigs this winter than is usually experience^.
