SILENT FORCE UNDERPAID
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Force is shockingly underpaid, These
world-famous men, "who always get
their man", certainly don't get too
much pay, A. recent would-be recruit,
who declined to join the force when
he heard the rates of pay, said, "they're
nice uniforms but you can't eat them."
The R.C.M,P, Commissioner receive
es $10,000 a year, the deputy commis-
sioner gets $4,600, and a few officers
earn more than $3,000 a year. How-
ever, the bulk' of the force is in the
constable class with top pay of $2.75
a day plus a seventy-five cent daily
bonus. Even a relatively senior staff
sergeant earns only $5,00 to $5.50 per
day. It's time there was a substantial
increase in the pay of constables and

INDUSTRY BUILD TOWNS.
The pulp and paper industry in es-
tablishing new mills has also been re-
sponsible for biuldieg up new towns
where none existed formerly, Most of
the current expansion is in the Thunder
Bay district along the craggy shore of -
Lake Superior about 1,000 miles north 7 .
west' of Toronto,. There, three huge
paper mills and town sites are being
completed at an estimated cost of
48,000,000.
This area of Ontario produces about
one-third of Canada's pulp and paper
products.. It has almost one-quarter of
the 435,000 square miles of economic-
ally accessible Canadian forest. The
three new paper mills are: the Long
Lac Pulp and Paper Co., at Terrace
Bay with a capacity ,of 2P tons of
bleached pulp daily; the Brompton
Pulp & Paper Co., at Red Rock, with
a 250 tons daily capacity; and in the
Marathon Paper Co. of Canada, at
Marathon, with 300 tons daily. output,
In addition the Kalamazoo Vegetable
Parchment Co. mill at Espanola has
been operating since last summer and
the Mead Corp, of America has a ma-
jor development in the Blind River dis-
trict in the • engineering stage. The
Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Com-
mission is•rushing a $5;000,000 project
near Schreiber to provide power for
the Terrace Bay Mill.
New town sites are being laid out
near each mill and every effort is be-
ing made to attract workers into the
bush by providing almost all the com-
munity facilities of urban life. For ex-
ample, to house Marathon's 350- em-
ployees, about 1,500 construction wor-
kers are building 160 houses with four
or five rooms each, 44 three-room
apartments, 40 attached houses, six
dorMitories, and several _larger houses
for executives. Rents run from $28' to
$60' a month, All biuldings have hot-
water heating. A modern, 500 seat

With the horseshoe .and opening

Wingham Scout Troop got under way

of the twenty-three. present.
The troops first chance to do public
service came when the S.M. gave out

will be divided into four sections and
each patrol will be given. one section
in which to distribute their leaflets.
Each Scout was given a length of
rope and the S.M. instructed on the use
and how to tie five of the most neces-
sary Scout knots.
Patrol corners were held and „the
collection of dues, marking of attend.:
ance and other vatrol business was
taken care of.
At this point in the meeting Sam
Burton took over with a program of
recreation which was really enjoyed
by all present. ' Most fellows landed
not too softly on the floor when trip-
ped in a.game of "jump the Rope."
One member of the Beaver patrol man-
aged to jump longer than the rest of
the troop thereby gaining points for
'his patrol..
"Dizzy Izzy", a new game to all, in-
troduced by Sam met with great suc-
cess and hilarious laughter. After
turning around five times with 'your
forehead on a stick try to run to the
end of the room and back again and
you'll find out why Stewart Nimmo
staggered into half. the gang before
getting headed in the-right direction.,

faowed the Eagle patrol came out

peting in each gaine the meeting closed.

ODD ANIMAL SERVANT
In the forests of New Guinea huge
spiders' webs, six feet• in cliaMeter, are
found. These are woven in a • large
'mesh, varying from one inch• square at'
the outside of the web to about one-
eighth inch at the centre. The web is
very substantial and the natives ,avail
themselves of that fact, Spider silk is
`remarkably strong. Experiments have
shown that a thread 0.01 centimeters
in diameter will support a weight of 80
grams, The silk also has elastic pro-
perties and can' be stretched nearly a
quarter of. its original • length without
breaking.
Some of the spiders of Australasia
are among the largest in the world.
The silk of some of their webs is al-
most as thick as' claming yarn. The
spiders of New Guinea ,'are about the
size of a small hazelnut, with.' hairy;
dark-brown legs, spreading to about
two inches. These diligent creattires
have been beguiled into weaving fish-
ing nets for the natives.
At the place where the webs are
thickest, the natives set up long bam-
boos, bent over.into ea loop at the end,
In a very short time the spider weaves
a web on, this most convenient frame,
and the' Papuan has hiS fishing net
ready to his hand, The native goes
down to the stream and .uses it with
great dexterity to catch. fish of about
one-pound weight. Neither the fish
nor the water suffice to break the
meth. These nets have also been used
for patching butterflies, moths,e birds
and bats. * *
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Today, as perhaps never &fere,
there is a driving ambition in the man
who works with his hands, a desire for
greater job security, for higher wages,
and for better working conditions, This
force is making itself felt in a marked
and growing preference of alert young
workers for the Skilled trade and
crafts. '
Encouragement of better pay and
higher tank was given in the armed
services to men Nstho mattered the
skills of war. Thousands of veterans
came back to .civilian life with that
object lesson behind them, and govern-
ment agencies mid the Department of
Veterans' Affairs have provided,
through training schools located across
the country, the facilities for them tO
hint wartime skills to peace time pro-
&teflon, The popularity of these
schools Is proof that returned men are
laying plans for a better econoittic se.
'entity by fitting themselves for better
jobs.

agency that supetintoids illatttletkrt in
the Skilled trades, has done and is do.

Elm Disease Control'
Up to• the .present the 'only known
method of control of Dutch elm dis-
ease is to eliminate the source of the
infection by felling diseased trees and
removing the bark from the trunk and
large branches in order to prevent
bark beetles from breeding there. At
the .same time, it is advisable to re=
duce the number of beetles in the Vic-
inity of diseased trees as much as pos7
Bible by destroying or removing the
bark from all ,dead, dying or' fallen
elm trees; and also from piled logs and'
cord wood. The felling of large trees,
particularly in cities,. towns, and vil-
lages, states the annual report of the
Dominion Minister of Agriculture, is
a difficult and costly, operation, and is
Only justifiable as a control measure
when there is reasonable expectation
that disease may be icliMinated 'or at
least confined to a comparatively small
area.
