DON'T FEED WORMS
Round Worms are common in Swine and may
be present even:though the Pigs show no symptons.
Freedom from worms means earlier marketing
and of course ends losses from worm infestation in
young Pjgs.
Sanitation coupled with

is the modern, safe, economical way to get rid of
round worms.

the benefit of our experience. All the parent stock is blood-tested annually.

STEAM ENGINE DEATH-KNELL
Death knell of the puffing, steam
driven locomotive was -sounded recent-
ly in Montreal by W. M. Neal, chair-
-man and president of the -Canadian
PacificRailway, when lie announced
initial -orders in the railway's 1947
-equipment program, "The record of
diesels in our yards and on American
roads makes us doubt the :economy of
ordering more large steam locornotiV- '
es;" he said, "The CPR", Mr. Neal
announced, "will purchase 111 diesel-
electric switching locomotives to join
the 42 already in use in yards."
"The Canadian Pacific", he added,
has been studying heavy freight and
passenger runs with a view to adopt-
ing _diesel-electric locomotives for
road service." The old order changeth
giving place to new, and progress _de-
mands changes, -and rightly so, but
there are few, if any, 'boys and men
(who arc just boys grown up) who
will not regret the passing of the
steam-driven locrunotives. Most boys •
lave been fascinated by the puffing,
snorting, mighty locomotives of their
day and many dreamed .of becoming,
farrions engineers. Will the diesel-
-electric locomotives mean as much to
the future generations? k * .*
WEEKLY THOUGHT
.Man; who is God's greatest creation,
'never has and never will be able :to
create any living thing. Given a little
knowledge and some _created thing to
tamper with, man sometimes succeeds
in destroying, altering or transmuting
God's handiworwit, but man never has
-and never can create a living creature
or thing, God alone can create the, vit-
al spark of life, Something can never
come front nothing and the facts of
creation prove there is a God.

U. K. FLOODS
UNPRECEDENTED
Unprecedented floods in the United
Kingdom this year already are estim-
ated to have cost the British farmers
well over 840,000,000 in drowned cat-
.tie and sheep, and it will be several
weeks before the damage to growing
crops can be calculated. Warnings that
more gales were -coming added the
' threat of new hardships for the harass-
ed population of the flooded lowlands
of Britain.
Waters which trapped people in
their homes in the worst- floods in
years were receding in some areas last
week, but rising water levels were re-
ported in the lower reaches of the Riv-
er Trent in Lincolnshire, the Severn
at Worcestershire and the River Ouse
in Yorkshire. The River Ouse rose
17 'feet above normal in York and the
town of Crowland, Lincolnshire, was
in danger -of becoming an island. The
Wednesday, March 26th
Due to uncontrollable circumstances
the meeting of the 1st Wingliam Scout
Troop for this week had to be post-
poned until Wednesday.
The meeting opened with the Scout
salute, promise and silence as usual,
but due to the unfavourable weather
and a ntistinderslood radio announce-
ment, only thirteen Scouts were pres-
ent.
Following the opening ceremonies,
the Scout Master gave his usual in-
structive lecture, and troop business
was discussed.
Next came a knot tying race and it,
was found that much more time must ,
be spent on knotting as many Scouts
were unable to tie the six fundamental
knots.
Floor hockey was the main item on
the recreation agenda but because of:
the small attendande the scheduled
games could not be played. However,
two teams were Chosen and -a fast:
game resorted.
The teams were known as East and
West: The line ups were as fcillows:
East: John Hanna, Willard Platt, ,Bob
Deyell, Lowell MacDougal, LaVerne
Newman and' John Crawford. West:
Jim Currie, Bill Bain, Raymond Merle-:
ley, Bob Bushfield, Stewart Nimmo
and Jim Chittick.
The first goal was scored by joint
Hanna, putting east out in front, Stew-
art Nimmo tied up the score when Ile
scored for West. Bob Deyell counted
another for East which made them
-champs, with the final score 2-1.
Penalties were meted out to Bob
Deyell (2), John Hanna (2), and La-
verne Newman on the east team. The
only west player put -on the bench was
Jim Chittick.
The meeting ended with a short but-
speedy game of basketball, followed )by
the horseshoe and closing ceremonies.
CONTRACT BRINE
The North and South pairs held
profusion of high cards, and „a number
of quite interesting hands, at the local
- Bridge Club last week, -
A routine safety play was involved
in one of these hands, and the minor-
ity of South players who were careful
enough to make it deserved the high
duplicate scores they got. This was
the hand:
S-A J 9 :6 3

Neither side vulnerable.
The bidding:
S W NE
1S Pass -85 Pass
4S Pass Pass Pass
The contract was the same at all
tables.
On winning the lead the declarer
should play the king of spades on the
next trick. If the three missing
trumps are divided between East and
West, there is no problem with the
suit, The possibility to consider is
that either East or West- 'nifty hold all
three of -these cards. If East has
them there is no way to capture the
queen. But, if they are held by West,
they all can be picked up by playing
the Icing :on the first trick, leaving the
Q 10 trapped in front of .the A j.
True, there was just one chance in
nine that the three missing spades

Fool's Day is Often the occasion of

custom of sending 'mc upon a bootless

of uncertain origin. It is possible,
however, that it may be a relic of some

The custom, whatever its origin, of
playing little tricks on -this day, where-
by ridicule may be fixed upon un-
guarded individuals, appears to be gen-
eral throughout Europe, and of al-
most universal scope. In France, one

INTOLERABLE INTOLERANCE
-Canadians should not tolerate intol-
erable intolerance. This Canada of
ours. is -supposed to be a Christian
-democracy and equal rights for all
with special privileges for none should
be the fundamental, basic principle of
Canada's (tip-to-date-unwritten) "Bill
of Rights". Much -has been said and
written about the 'Four Freedoms",
but to be present, little has -been -done
to make them the law of our land.
In Nova Scotia recently, a negro
Trent poured water five feet deep into
Gains-borough and hundreds were res-
cued by boats and army "ducks". Wa-
ters were receding in the Thames,
Wye and Avon.
Troops, prisoners of war and local
laborers worked to build dikes to re-
tain the swollen river in the Fenland
area where 124000 to 157/00 acres of
rich farm lowlands in Cambridge and
Norfolk Counties were under water.
Boats were sent -to The rescue of the
stranded farmers. '
Road and rail •communieations were
