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 SIIERBONDY'S COFFEE SHOP LUNCHES MEALS FOUNTAIN SERVICE OYSTERS Fruit Juices in stock Next to Lyceuin Theatre WINGHAM —J 4WO,, fitiaaorgt Lipton's Noodle SOUP MIX 2 for 25c Rg D ROSE 8 oz, 16 oz.

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.

With the horseshoe .and opening ceremonies the regular meeting of the Wingham Scout Troop got under way with Scout Master Conron in charge of the twenty-three. present. The troops first chance to do public service came when the S.M. gave out pamphlets to be distributed in aid of the Red Cross Appeal, The town. 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., In the game of floor hockey which faowed the Eagle patrol came out on top with 4 one gee!, the only one scored in two games, After two .gant7 es of basketball with two patrols com- peting in each gaine the meeting closed. sergeants to induce the cream of Can- ada's men to join this great police force of which all Canadians are jUstly, proud. * * * 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. Canadian Vocational Training, the agency that supetintoids illatttletkrt in the Skilled trades, has done and is do. big art egdeliellt job. Some of the brow ado' phases of the work being accord.. plKhed are brought to public attention KNOW WINGIIAM • Wingham has only two long lanes. the one between William and Leopold streets starts at Victoria and has an outlet on Leopold near Victoria and ends at Alfred street. 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.
