BATTERY AND
ARMOURIES ARE
INSPECTED HERE
Addition May Be Built to House
Guns.
General D. J. MacDonald, D.S.O.,
M.C., D.O.C., and Major H. O. N.
Brownfield, G.O.S, of Military Dis
trict No.. 1, who are making an in
spection of the 21st Brigade were in
town on Thursday in company with
Col, Geo. H. Elliss, of London, in
specting the Armouries and the 99th
Battery.
They were extremely pleased with
the showing that has been made so
far by Major G. W. Howson and tiapt.
R. S. Hetherington, Lieuts. W. A.’ Mc-
Kibbon and H. L. Sherbondy.
Wingham has been fortunate in se-’
curing the Battery here through the
efforts of R, J. Deachman, M.P., and
Mayor J. W. Hanna, as it was orig
inally slated for Fergus. Gen. Mac-
Donanld thanked Major Howson and
May'or Hanna for their splendid co
operation in forming this battery,
which he feels will fit into the Nor
thern Brigade, and in two years’ time
will be one of the foremost brigades
in Canada.
During the past two years the
strength of the infantry units has been
cut down considerably and the need
for artillery has been stressed by the
Minister of Defense, Hon.* Ian Mc
Kenzie, and who has organized the
21st Brigade, including batteries at
Listowel, Walkerton, Pt. Elgin and
Wingham.
The Wingham Battery will attend
camp at Petawawa, near Pembroke,
which is the central camp for artill
ery training. Petawawa is possibly
one of the most beautiful spots in
Canada and those who are fortunate
enough to be able to attend will en
joy- a healthful and happy holiday.
It is expected that an addition to
the Armouries will be built to house
the guns, on the north side.

INFANTILEPARALYSIS
As the period when infantile par
alysis is usually most prevalent is ap
proaching, it is advisable that parents
in a home where there are children,
should from now on, be on the look
out for any sign of sickness in the
family. According to the latest re
port from the Provincial Board of
Health, there were 2544 cases of in
fantile paralysis in Ontario, with 109
deaths. Of 1427 paralytic cases, ap
proximately 8% have died, <59% are
still paralyzed and 33% have recover
ed. The period for development may
vary from one to forty-seven days,
average about 15 days. Case rates
highest from 3 to 6 years. The onset
of the disease is “sudden” in 65% of
cases.
The results of the 1937 experiment
al trial Use of zinc sulphate nasal
spray does not justify the Department
in endorsing this as an effective pre
ventive measure.
The symptoms of an on-coming
case vary greatly, such as fever, stiff
neck, headache, loss Of appetite, sick
stomach, vomitting, sore throat, pain
in. back, irritability and many others.
Invitation
Mrs, Smith was reading a letter at
breakfast. Suddenly she looked up
suspiciously at her husband,
“George,” she said, “I’ve just re
ceived a letter from mother saying
she isn’t accepting our invitation to
come and stay, as we do not appear
to want her. What does she mean by
that? I told you to Write and say that
she was to come at her Own conven
ience. You did write, didn’t you?”
“Er—yes,” said George. “But I*-I
couldn’t spell ’convenience,’ so I
made it ’risk.’ ”
ARMY WORMS
SERIOUS MENACE
IN THIS DISTRICT
Many Farmers Report Damage to
Spring Grain, Especially Oats
Many farmers in this section have
reported over the week-end the in
vasion of their crop by the Army
worm, which has created genuine
alarm, The Agricultural Representa
tive, Ian McLeod of Clinton, has visit
ed the affected areas and suggested
remedies for controlling the pest.
The farm of Miller Procter on the
Bluevale road seems to be the worst
affected around Wingham, where it is
expected that 40 acres of oats will be
a total loss.
. Many other farmers in Turnberry
and Morris are badly affected and the
worms still have the upper hand and
in some sections grain crops are being
cut for green feed to salvage what
is possible in the face of an entire
loss.
In the area between Wroxeter and
Harriston an estimated 3,000 acres is
in danger with army worms reported
on many of the farms and spreading
rapidly.
The story is reported by one far
mer in Bruce that in attempting to
prevent the pests from getting into a
second field after almost stripping
the first a number of furrows were
plowed around the field and so thick
were the worms that plowing was
almost impossible due to the greasy
formation caused by the worms ad
hering to the plow.
The usually despised starling is
gaining the friendship of the farmers
of the area, for flocks of the birds
have made their appearance at every
field where the worms are and are
busily engaged in eating them. Pre
sence of the birds has proven a sure
sign that the worms are there also.
A special news bulletin issued by
the Ontario Agricultural College de
scribes the army worms to be similar
to the ordinary cut worm,, The color
is green to brown or nearly black,
with longitudinal stripes along the
back and sides. When full-grown it
is nearly two inches long.
Most- damage has been done to
grasses, barley, oats and corn. Oth
er garden "crops have not been at
tacked. A poison bait composed of
bran,, Paris green, molasses and wat
er, is being used to fight the pest.

Equalized Freight Rates
A meeting of the farmers of the
district will be held in the Council
Chamber, Wingham on Saturday

freight into consideration is his buy
ing price.
