Any other time freckle - faced Jimmie would have jumped lightly over the low cypress hedge that separated the two hones -but not today! Glancing over his shoulder, Jim- mie could see his Dad watching from the dhting, room window, in all probability chuckling over the predicament old gabby Denton was in, It was, in fact, Judge Reed's words that had sent Jimmie on this errand. "Son, you go right over to Denton's and 'tell him ex- actly what happened. He's legally bound to pay off -he can't very well talk himself out of this one with any of his high -fancy -sound- ing -legal phrases l' Jimmie knew bis Dad and Attorney Denton had been friendly enemies in many a legal battle; he also knew the fast -talk- ing Denton usually bested his Dad. But he'd show Denton today! "Good afternoon, Jimmie," At- toney Denton smiled as he opened the door, "what brings you here - and why so serious, son?" Wna b itl ut bothering m to return the Attorney's friendly g greeting Jim- mie took a deep breath and plunged in;"Mr. Denton, while I was in the bakery today, a big dog jump- ed on m bike carrier and stole y a rib roast -and ran away with itl" Catching his breath, he con- tinued, his words crisp and defi- ant, "What can be done about it, sir?" The attorney smiled, "Nell, Jim- mie, that shouldn't be too difficult. It appears to one you have an ex- cellent case against the dog's mas- ter. You should have no trouble whatsoever in collecting." "Is that right, Sir? -well, Mr. Denton, it was YOUR dog!" Jim- mie was elated -this was much, easier than he'd figured: "Oh -my dog Rex, ch? Well, Jimmie, it that case I'll be glad to pay the costs. How much was the roast?" Denton readied for his bill- fold, Jimmy chuckled to himself, "This guy's an easy onel I'm doing okay -even better'n Pop could do, I betl" Out loud he said "Attorney Denton, the cost of the roast is a minor smatter -there's my time go- ing back and forth -and" Jimmie squared his shoulders, "toy injured reputation. No one will trust me to deliver things for them now - and that's how I earn my money!" "That should do it," Jimmie thought proudly, "That ought to bring me enough to get a Hop - Along -Cassidy bat, as well as pay Moms for the roast," Attorney Denton looked though- ful, "H-mnuum, I guess you've got me on all points, Jim, my boy. How touch are the total damages?" Mentally figuring, "'Three -fifty for the roast and two -fifty for the hat. jimmy replied briskly, "Six dollars, Sir, should coyer all costa" Dad would he proud of him -he'd shown the attorney he wasn't so smart after all! Denton looked clown at the minor duplicate of his old friend Judge Reed, then slowly opened his bill- fold, "Thank you Sir!" Jimmie thrust the six crisp one dollar bills into his pocket while making a quick, but dignified, move toward the exit. In his haste to get away, Minnie itinibled with the door knoh-utast inxious that the attorney didn't see the smile lie was trying to hide, tic was pleased as punch with nlnlself, and awfully anxious to how Dad how well he'd come oft`. "Nothing to it at 'all if you' ase vonr head," 111110lie thought gleefully to himself as he stepped 1111 on Den Inn's -porch.

The shares, priced at $1.20 will finance the com- pany's expansion programme, pros- pects for which the company be- lieves to be excellent in view of the present Jack of foundry capacity in both „the United States and Canada, The company manufactures the "Warns Morning" space heater which has been widely marketed across Canada for a number of years, Extensive use of this product is made by both major Canadian railroads. The company also man- ufacturers polished cast ironhol- loware on a mass production basis using methods successfullly devel- oped and tested in the American market. Distribution is made through a large numbev of outlets across Canada including chain stores and mail order houses. ' Due to many articles of hollo- ware being in short supply in Can- ada and the United States, the Can- adian Javelin Foundries and Ma- chine Works Limited is aiming at greatly increased production of this commod'ty. Canada has, in •th.e past, exported pig iron -the basic raw material -and imported the finished ware. 1 The company intends in- vade e n yt cstothe American market with finished products. If successful, this will be the first time that large scale shi fnents have of holloware n been exported from Canada. The company's export position is strengthened by the reduction of the duty on open cast iron vessels ccported to the United States, to five per cent. This reduction was a result of the Torquay agrestnents, Miscellaneous industrial castings are also manufacturedfront both iron and altiminunt as well as pat- terns for commercial sale and their own use. The company is engaged in preliminary work on the pro- duction of defence items whose ul- timate consignee is the American armed forces. Profits and Service - If business were as heartless and as shortsighted as some of its detractors would; have us believe, then prices and profits are not based on costs 'but solely on the - policy of "all the traffic will bear." If that were true tremendous new fortunes would have been amassed in the last few years and the cost - of -living index would have galloped much further than it has. During most of the period since the war, demand has been far in advance of supply. True, there have been some recent and important exceptions, though generally the finding of markets has been the least of our worries. But, as official reports abundantly confirm, pro- fits have been far from exorbitant and the crop of millionaires smaller, not larger. Profits, while important and vital If a business is to continue and' expand, are only one of several factors that go to make up a suc- cessful. company. Another and most important one is service to customers, • Right now in this country there are dozens of concerns that could export every pound of production to the United States and at higher prices than they are getting from Canadian buyers, And they could have been doing this for a con- siderable time, But that "would mean abandoning customers who have been steady buyers through- out the years and who will con- tinue to be steady buyers in •the years to come. Permanent and suo- cessful business is not built on that short-sighted bask -The .Fin- ancial Post, Wh000s This? -On aHallowe'en night most everything takes on strange proportions. Ghosts dance, witches fly and weird char- acters people the land. However, in this one instance, it's ad- mitted that owl eyes never really get this big -they just seem to look as large when come on unexpectedly by children in the dark, Ina Beth Kamin, above, shows no fright of the spooky bird because she knows it's only a giant plastic sign made it her Daddy's factory -and anyway, it isn't dark out. ARNI FRONT J v _ News of great interest to chicken rai5efs is found in the recent an- nouncement that one-third of an ounce of terramycin to a ton of feed can cut Vitamin 512 require- ments in chick rations by as much as 40 per cent. * 4, " This ,conclusion, based on a ser- ies of good experiments with some 500 birds aged 1 day to 4 weeks, is expressed in the July issue of 'An- tibiotics and Chemotherapy," which has just been published. Authors are W. M. Reynolds and H. G. Luther, nutritionists, and E, At, 'Weber, biochemist. t: 4, 4, Chicks chosen for the test were vitamin B1, -deficient New Hamp- shire Reds, selected from partially vitamin B12 -depleted parent stock. The basic diet conformed to good commercial feed standards, but did not provide either B12 or an anti- biotic. Two groups of ch`.eks fed on it alone averaged in weight at 4 weeks only 200' and 224 grants (between 7 and 8 ounces). On the same diet with 8 to 20 milligrams of vitamin B12 per ton of rayon, chicks at 4 weeks weighed up to an average of 314 grams (about 11 ounces), Front these tests, the experimenters concluded that 10 milligrams per ton of feed was the optimum level for B12 when no antibiotic is used. 4. 4, 4, When terramycin was added to. the B12 -fortified feed, chick growth showed a further narked increase, In two groups, with 1312 at 8 mil- ligrams and terrantycitl at 10 grams (one-third ounce) per ton, 4 -week weights were 331 and 340 grams (about 12 ounces). In another group, with B1_ at 5 milligrams and terramycin at 10 grams, weight at the sante age was almost as good -329 grants. Comparison of the weights ach- ieved with the basic ration and the most successful combination of ter - ramycin and B12 show growth in- creases at 4 weeks of more than 50 per cent, (Earlier experimentation with chicles carried, through to Broiler weights indicate that, at 10 weeks, the percentage 0f gain 4.

Best growth is obtained only when both are pre- sent in the ration, Addition of terramycin to the diet br'ngs proportionately greater growth responces when Bt, con- tent is low or submarginal. When adequate amounts of vita - man B12 are present in the ration, addition of terramycin beyond one- third of an ounce to a ton of feed does not stimulate stgntficant ad- ditional growth gains, u x 4, Even as terramycin shows a sparingeffect,effect, the vitamin also shows an antibiot:'c-sparing effect, Without B12 in the diet, the terra- mycin level was increased two and a half manes (to five -sixths of an ounce per ton) to obtain a 4 -week average weight of 50 ounces plus. 4: 4' m The importance of these findings lies in the fact that the vitamin is not only a relatively expensive but a variable element. In areas where fish nneal and fish solubles or neat scraps are readily available and in- expensive, their addition to the ba- sic ration will reduce the anoint of B12 required from non -animal sources. In areas where fish and meat are less available or over -ex- pensive, the ratio of B22 from che- mical manufacturers can be increas- ed to slake up the required quota, Oil Shale The world's 'largest known oil shale deposit, covering 16,500 square miles of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, is a reserve source of motor fuels, aviation gasoliues, jet fuels. Diesel oils, tractor fuels and domestic and industrial heating oils, Shade also can provide sol- vents, waxes, asphalts and benzene, a basic chemical of great and in- creasing importance in the peace- time economy and a war material vitally essential to national sec- urity, eaurity, Synthetic liquid -fuel plants can be operated to produce large quantities of benzene from either oil shale or cool. REMINDER An absent-minded man called upon his old friend, the family doctor. After chatting for a couple of hones, the doctor saw hint to the door and, as he was shaking hands, said: "Conte again soon, old chap; fancily all well, I suppose?" "Good Ileavens!" exclaimed the visitor; "that reminds me, My Wife's leaving a fit. LOGY, LISTLESS, OUT OF LOVE WITH LIFE?

Neither do we mind the absence of wind .. , Three days in a row last week with a cold wind blowing -so rough it was impossible to work outside. And of course there are plenty of jobs to do before freeze-up comes along. Before the wind came I did manage to give the privet hedge a final clipping and to cut hack the honeysuckle bush so we could see out of the living -room window. Shrubs made such tremendous growth this year. But my worst job is yet to come -hundreds of bulbs to plant. J hope I shall not run out of ambition before I run out of bulbs. Needless to say I did not buy such a large quantity of bulbs -they were given to me -and I was not prepared for quite so many. There are always lots of jobs to do in the spring but don't you feel there are even more in the fall - and a greater urgency to get them don, In spring the good weather is ahead; in the fall no one knows how soon freeze-up will come, sd we ''have to take advantage of every good day that dawns for doing out- side work -and also of any help that comes along. Probably that is what our son Bob is thinking as he was hardly home this week -end be- fore he was given the job of putting on the upstairs storm windows. Bob doesn't get home every week- end so I generally have a job or two saved up against his coining, He thinks we have been pretty lucky down here in regard to wea. tiler. In the Owen Sound district, where he is now working, much of this year's crop is still out in the fields due to heavy and frequent rains. Judging by what one can see when driving along the road in this comity all this year's crop has been harvested. I'fere and there one can notice a field of newly sown wheat coming up. Not as much as usual for the time of year as many farmers have evidently taken the advice of our Agricultural repre- sentative and sown their wheat late to avoid damage from Hessian fly. No doubt more wheat will be in evidence a week front now. But not here -we 'didn't put any in at all. Last Saturday was the occasion of our local Fall Fair ... and what a beautiful day it was. Wind be- forehand and dull weather after- wards, but that one day was per- fect, And nothing can make or mar a fair like the weather, Naturally people turned up in droves -and there was plenty for 111rn1 to see. More farm machinery than ever before -implements of every snake and model seemed to be there, As Palmer remarked when we were looking at them -"There is no need for a farmer to worry if he can't get to the Provincial Ploughing Match to look over new machinery -not if he can see it all at his own local fair." There was a wonderful exhibit of livestocic and they were all quite happy basking in the nice, warm sunshine. What I always like to watch is the showmanship in the boys' and girls' calf club. All the youngsters handled their animals with pride and skill, entirely ob- livious of the crowds watching thein. Their one thought was s'itow- ing their heifer or calf to the best advantage. Behind the fence were all kinds of people, young and old, programme in hand, following the entries with the keenest interest, and applauding with delight when their John or Mary came out with a prize-winning ribbon. Another feature in which we were particularly interested was the new method for starting the horses in the trotting races, As nearly as I can describe it a car, equipped with a horizontal bar the width.of the track, went ahead of the horses until they were lined up in position to go ahead. It elim- inated a lot of tedious waiting which is unavoidable � vie nciv r d e s are jockeying for position in the old way. There was one exhibit which was decidedly new and different and it was put on by our local newspaper editor. There were hound editions of the early local paper, dating back to 1867, also a group of individual portraits of for- mer town mayors, dating from 1857 to 1920. Then there were photo- graphs of various notable events right through the years. Many peo- ple were very interested in the for- mat of the old newspapers, and also in the present colour -printing. There was even an old picture of "Ginger Farm" -only it wasn't Ginger Farm at that time but "Wil- lotwbrae," the old MacNab home- stead, the present house being built in 1854. "My friend," said the missionary, "are you travelling the strait and narrow path?" In silence the man banded over his card. It read: "Signor Ballancio, Tightrope Walker."
