VOL 75—No, 1 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.

' THIS MAY TAX YOUR CREDULITY 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, Data on temperatures, air pressures, fij cosmic rays and other ionisphere phen- omena will be telemetered back to the ground for permanent,, recording and futUre study. * We Don't Care MAMMOTH MASTODON ONTARIO KNEW A scientific find,owhieh may prove Mouldings for Mason- near Rodney.

It is known that the waters of the lake receded to their present level about 10,000 years ago. And the conditions under which the bones were found clearly indicate that' the animal died after this recession of the lake waters. * * (WEEKLY THOUGHT The common belief is that nervous , breakdowns are of :unexpected onset usually precipitated by some sudden shock.

Uses Wand for Water Divination Eighty-six-year-old Robert Ander- son found himself with an enthusiastic 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 hand-dug well, so have hi$ services be- come less in demand. lie is a former resident of Turnberry Township and Bluevale, but now resides with his sist- er, Mrs. Mary Ballantyne, 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 for their evening concert. A bird I statted whistlihg. The sky darkened " 1 fell asleep, only to awaken when the a little and the sun shunted out of sight. A distant tumble of thunder boomed away off someplace .. , and I first splattering drops of rain fell on trmy fate. It was a lazy afternoon but a most pleasant one.
