We have Other parts of the Empire also in been called the grainary of the Empire, Other parts of the Empire also pro- duce' certain food products in such large quantities that they require an export market to consume the surplus. Many parts of the world, not parts of the Empire, also have high production incertain classes of produce or food products. It. is now proposed by the British delegation to the World Food Conference in session at Hot Springs, Va,, that there be established an inter- national-financed buffer stock or stocks of primary products built up in the' years of plenty to tide the world over in lean years, This would also have the effect of stabalizing prices. Action such as this would be somewhat simi- lar to the action taken in Egypt in Bibical days. The saying still goes the rounds, "There is corn in Egypt." During the depression years Canada had great surpluses of food products, especially wheat. At the same time some countries were at the point of starvation and could not purchase this wheat and other products as they had not the exchange. This is a matter that should receive the attention of this conference. also. What good would food banks do if the goods could not be distributed to the places that re- quire it urgently, We have found that we can co-operate in war against a common enemy. We must learn to co-operate one with the other in peace. * * * THE STARVING GREEKS Under the auspices of the Mayor of Wingham and the council subscription lists are being opened here for the Greek War Relief Fund. The Greeks though a conquered country, fight on. just how long they can continue rest -to a great ertent on us, the more fay- . Oured peoples. We who have not had our country over run by the enemy or our cities and towns bombed from the skies. These valiant Greek allies of ours must have food and we must do our part in supplying the money with which to purchase it. Through the Red Cross with what shipping is available wheat and other food stuffs can be sent to these starving folk. Let us do our Part by leaving a donation at either bank as soon as possible. /140.1441pum lll m11114044 ll 1! . 4 .... 4 4701441! . 4 . ! . 44044044444 4404144144d Scarlet Fever In Ashfield Priscilla and Billie Rhoad, children of Rev. and Mrs, 'NV, O.

"I am, sir—it's the uniform that makes you think I'm sitting down!" STICKS OF LIGHTNING At the Royal Ontario Museum we noticed examples of an odd mineral called "fulgurite" or "lechatelierite." They were hollow, white tubes, smooth on the inside and rough on the out- side. We found that when lightning strikes the earth it tries to go straight down, seeking its opposite electrical pole. In going through sand, the in- tense heat sometimes fuses together the quartz grains of which the sand is composed, leaving 'behind these thin cylinders which can be picked out and removed, In some parts of the world where sand dunes are prevalent there are numerous fulgurites, some many feet long—fragile, fantastic sticks of "lightning in sand." Two Lucknow Teachers Resign The Lucknow Board of Education has received the resignations of Miss Ruth Matthews and Miss Isabel Kalb- fleisch, both members of the High School teaching staff.
