DON'T QUIT TOO SOON
Every year many unfortunate vic-
tints become drowning fatalities be-
cause artificial respiration was not con-
tinued long enough. Too often the
rescue efforts have been discontinued
because the victim showed no signs of
heart beat, no -eye reflex and
no pulse, after many long minutes of
hard work, whereas, if the artificial
respiration had been continued for four
hours, or until rigor mortis proved
that death had won, the unconscious
person might have been revived,
There have been successful resuscita-
tion cases after the victim had been
tinder water for :nearly half an hour
before being rescued, Lives have been
saved after as long as four hours arti-
ficial respiration so rescurers should
keep working, in relays if possible, for
at least four hours or until rigor mortis
hainset in.

Rockets being built for the U. S.
navy for test purposes will reach the
almost incredible speed of 8,500 feet
per second. At that speed it would
take only 411/4 hours to reach the
moon, That's travelling! These new
rockets are named the "Neptune" and
they will supplant the fast-disappearing
supply of German V-2 rockets,
The 8,500 feet per second speed of
the Neptune will be reached when the
rocket is carrying a payload of 100
pounds and will occur at a height of
38 miles above the earth's surface at
75 seconds after launching, At that
height the time the fuel supply of liquid
oxygen and' alcohol will be exhausted,
but the Neptune will "coast" on
straight 11p for another 197 miles to a
height of 285 miles, more than twice
the height reached previously by a V-2.
The Neptune will be used only for
research purposes. It will be 45 feet
long, about the same length as the V-2,
but will be much slimmer. Because of
ji its lighter weight, adaptable load-car-
rying capacity and both structural and
propulsion refinements, it will be a far
II- more satisfactory missle than the V-2,

Uses Wand for Water Divination
Eighty-six-year-old Robert Ander-

audience as he revived the art of "wat-
er-witching", now almost unheard of
in this district. Mr. Anderson paged
back and forth over a small plot of
land near a cabin—owned by Eldon
McKinney of London, holding in front
of him a small willow branch. Sud7
denly the branch dipped. Mr. Ander-
son said, "dig here". The spectators
applauded. He opined that a good
flow of water would be found nine feet
below the surface, Testifying to Mr.
Anderson's success as a water "divin-
er" are clear-running wells on many
district farms. Once his services were
much sought after, but as modern drill-
ing methods have superseded the old

PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry 3. Boyle
My grandfather always said that for
a place to have a quiet afternoon of
resting and thinking, you couldn't beat
an apple orchard in summertime.
Every time I try it Pon more and more
convinced of the wisdom of his words.
While the rest of the folks were hav-
ing a rest I collected an old rocker
front the back porch and hiked up
along the backyard fence to the or-
chard. Then I put the rocker down
in the shade„of a sweet apple tree, mak-
ing certain that it was close enough to
apples so that I wouldn't have to move.
I just sat down when PLOP a big,
sweet apple landed in my lap. That
certainly promised well for the rest of
the afternoon.
The dog ambled-up and after chas-
ing the kitten up into a Spy tree came
over and lay down at my feet. An in-
quisitive hen came along, eyed me over
carefully and then after taking a. few
pecks at an apple strolled over into the
garden to- sample the ripe tomatoes.
She sort of knew that I was without
ambition on this particular occasion to
bother her very much.
There was the lazy drone of flies and •
insects and in the background a dull
and almost monotonous sound of the
bees gathering pollen in the buckwheat
patch. The wires on the fence screech-
.ed as the old brindle cow Jessie tried
I to reach through for some apples. Now
and again a car went by on the road
but even the cars seemed to not be in
any particular hurry. It was Sunday
afternoon.
- The Higgins boys went. by, trudg-
ing along in 'their barefeet to go to the
river for a swim. Some of the older
boys went by in the opposite direction,
hoping, I suppose, to start a baseball.
game. All itt all it was a peaceful .
Sunday afternoon in the country. A
butterfly even landed on my overalls
for a brief moment or two, trying to
figure out I suppose whether I was
alive or dead.
By adjusting my position ever so
little I could peck up through an open-
ing in the tree and get a glimpse_ of the
sky. It was a light .blue color with
sltifts of clouds rolling around as if
they were youngsters in night-clothes
frolicking before going 'to bed.
A cicada shrilled a song of heat.
Crickets got in a few licks of practise

'NEW METHOD
OF ROOT ROT CONTROL
A, revolutionary method of control-
ling root rot in vegetable crops has
been developed by Southwestern On-
tario scientists after. three years re-
search work, it was disclosed in Chat-
ham recently, The method, that of soil
treatment rather than treatment of
seed, is expected to aid agriculture the
• world over and lead to greater agricul-
tural production and industrial expan-
sion.
For the first time in the known his-
tory of agriculture, the treatment of
soil for disease rather than the seed
)itself has been successfully tried; The
• experiments so far have been chiefly
with sugar beet crops in Southwestern
Ontario, but research experts elaiM it
is applicable to all vegetable crops,
tomato, melon and tobacco crops.
Treatment of the soil was devised
through the co-operation efforts of the
