The Spirit of
he Pioneer
Mother
Hames Anev Today
THINK BACK to the old days—when Canada
was young.
Think of the high courage, the indomitable will of
those pioneer women. Within the stockade or in
the open field, they toiled -yes, fought—by the
side of their men for the safeguarding of everything
they held .dear. -
In the hearts ofthe women of Canada, this old spirit
flames anew today ! Gone are the heavy muskets,
the log barricades —but the love of freedom, the
stubborn resolve to win through at all costs - these
things remain unchanged, unchangeable !
Grimly quenching their tears, mothers say "God
bless you" to their fighting sons—everywhere young
women are serving where duty calls—the women of
Canada are bound together in one common cause.
In thousands of Canadian homes, women are revising
their family budgets, planning new economies, mak-
ing extra sacrifices --so that more and more money
will be available for the purchase of Victory Bonds.
They know—these women of Canada that every
dollar loaned now means more tanks—more guns—
more planes—more ships—more of everything which
is needed to smash Hitlerism and bring Peace to all
the family hearths of the world.

CANADA'S NATIONAL
HOT SPRINGS
What causes hot springs to bubble neath the earth's crust, and, on reach -
from the ground? This is a question i ing the surface, encounters the light
that has long intrigued the layman. of day' for the first time.
One explanation is that the water is
proving from a plate of high press-
ure to one of lower pressure . The
water of some hot springs is of sur-
face origin. It gets into the ground
or rocks in various ways, circulates
over heated; rock -masses at some dep-
th, and finally escapes to the surface
in the form of a hot spring. The
water of other hot springs is consider-
ed by,geoiogists to be of magmatic or-
igin. That is to say it is part of
the magma or hot liquid strata be -

Hot mineral springs occur in three
of Canada's national parks—Banff
and Jasper in Alberta, and Kootenay
in British Columbia. Naturally such
an important tourist attraction has
received considerable attention, and
as the fame of the curative properties
of these hot springs; has spread, a plan
of development for their fullest use
has been pint into effect.
At Banff, two public bath -houses
have been constructed; one at Cave
and Basin Springs situated in Banff
townsite; and the other at Upper Hot
Springs about two miles; from the
centre of the town of Banff. At the
Cave and Basin there are two out-
door swimming pools fed. by springs
having a temperature of 92 degreesF.
and at Upper Hot Springs; the pool re- ;
ceives its water supply from a spring
having a temperature of 112 degreesF.
Both , of these health centres are eq-
uipped with showers, rest -Cons and
other facilities for the comfort and
enjoyment of visitors. The Cave and
Basin pools are open froth May until
September, but the Upper Hot Sprin-
gs bath -house and pool are kept open
the year round.
The Radium Hot Springs in Kooten-
ay National Park have a temperature
of 114` degreesF. and here too .have
been built a ;speindad bath -house and
outdoor swimming pool open the year
round,
These Springs are on the fatuous

, The existence of these hot springs
and their medicinal value were well,
known to the Indians long before the
,first whiteman penetrated the great
mountain harriers in the West. Early
traders and trappers heard of them
from the Inidans and they too appar-
ently found the waters to have cure-
tive properties. It was the discovery
of hot mineral springs at Banff, Al-
berta, which provided the inspiration.
for the establishment of Canada's
present national parks system. The
smallcomparatively small area of ten
square miles around these hot springs,
;
set aside for: public use in 1835, was.
the beginning of a chain of rational
'parks which now ,stretches frons the
Selkirk Mountains in British Collin
l bis to the Atlantic seaboard of ,Nova
Scotia.

"I wish that I could farmer be,
For from all cares, I'd then be free."
The farmer says, a many a tines,
"The business man gets all my dimes;
1 wish, I had a shop in twit;
No worries then would ge me downy"
To each of these perimt me say,
That ever since poor Adam's day,
Our bread we earn by sweat 'of braw,
If in the shop or 'hind the plow.
And life is good upon the soil,
Though tired we be from heavy toil;
And so is life within the town,
E'en tho' at times dame fortune frown.
Who does his work as best he knows,
Is sowing seed, that one day grows
A glorious crop of happiness,
Will full repay all weariness.
But those who fag, or doth repine,
Upon bare husks must surely dine;
So. let us then, on farm, in town,
Put on a smile, turn off that frown.
To work for those we hold most dear,
Makes cloudless skies and sunshine
clear:
To work for self, or needless wealth,
Makes but for woe and ruined health.
So, let's enjoy the work on hand;
Let's for the right most stoutly stand;
Let's shun false gods ,and h#lp John
Bull
To give the Huns their bellyful.
