JOHN VINCENT HONOURED BY FRIENDS A very enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Mr .and Mrs. Charles - Stewart •on Thursday, Aug. 13 when about fifty friends and relations gath- ered to. honor Mr. and Mrs. John Vincent on their recent marriage. Af- ter the program which consisted of songs. recitations and mouth organ seleetions, a basket beautifully decor- ated in pink and white and laden with gifts was carried in by Mrs'. Vincent's nephew Stewart Toll and Ferne Dex- ter and placed in front of the bride and groom. Miss Marion Stewart read the following address: Dear Edith and Jack:— We are gathered here to -night on this happy •occasion to offer you our heartiest congratulations on your re- cent marriage and wish you .God speed, as you embark •on the voyage of mat- rimonial life. Life brings its' clouds and shadows to all of us, but where there is love and faith and hope, the clouds will always pass and the sun will shine again. As a token of best wishes we would ask you to accept these gifts from your friends and re- lations. We hope you may find them a source of enjoyment and usefulness in your new home and in years to come may they remind you of your friends of former years. Mr. Vincent -made a very suitable reply thanking everyone on behalf of Mrs. Vincent and himself for the love- ly gifts. Lunch was served after which everyone was treated to wedding cake. V OBITUARY MISS MARTHA DINSLEY Miss Martha Jane Dinsley died in Clinton, Monday, August 24th, in her 88th. year, She was a daughter of the late Edward Dinsley and Jane Pear- son Dinsley and was born in Clinton July 14th, 1886. She lived in Clinton until 17 years ago, and had since made her home with Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Petrie, Brucefield. She was the last surviving member of a family of twelve. The funeral service washeld at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Aug- ust 26th, from the Ball and Zapfe Funeral Home, The service -was con- ducted by Rev. G. W. Moore of Si. Paul's Ohurch of England..

Harold 1VIePhillips, London, prices and supply representative of the Wartime Prices and, Trade Board. The new ration books will be used commencing. on Monday, September 7th, The temporary ration cards for 'sugar. tea and coffee will be utilized until that date. The Boardofficial pointed out that :all permanentcards will not be de- livered on Monday but will be cleared by postal officials as soon as, possible. However, the entire territory should 'Ise covered before ,September 7. In the permanent ration book, the first sheet of eqiinons is marked sug- ar. The green 'coupons are for tea or 'eoffee.

Pouring down from the mountains are great waterfalls, offering a promise of al- most limitless electric power. But those very mountains, high and dangerous, sometimes virtually impassable, guard their own wealth. They make travel and transporta- tion difficult and risky. They fore- stall attempts made merely to measure these metal deposits. So difficult is this transportation problem that in many cases the air- plane is the only possible solution at present. There is certainly iron and coal, some of it rich and workable, but nobody seems to know how much. There are zinc deposits, some of them containing the purest zinc in the New world, but all that is known for sure is that they occur along the winding 100 -mile Magdalena river and are scattered through the state of Cundinamarca. There are scattered deposits of manganese, which the United States needs for its steel alloys in war and peace, and small 'deposits of chromium which are required for battleship steel and for high- powered projectiles. Rich, deposits of gold, silver and platinum are much better known, and are already being worked. Each year Colombia is producing nearly $1,000,000 worth of platinum, also gold valued at $20,000,000. . • 1.; • '. , 11. . • t,srq. ,401.-'',' • •• ' ' ' .., •"",-.':c'i. . ' Traffic Court Reform Sought to End Injustice Immediate steps to remove Juris- diction over traffic violation cases from officials whose compensation is dependent upon fees or fines is the leading plank in a drastic pro- gram for traffic -court reform ad- vanced by the American AutOmobile association. The announcement was made by Thomas P. Henry of Detroit, presi- dent of the national motoring body. He recommended that the proce- dure of all courts in regard to traf. fic cases be brought into harmony with the principles set up by our special committees, as follows: "1—All traffic cases should be handled apart from other court busi- ness and minor traffic violators shall not be treated as criminals. "2 ---Speedier handling of cases should be provided for by establish- ment of violations bureaus when minor infractions are too numerous to be handled through regular court procedure. "3—Physical courtroom condi- tions should be improved as to facili- ties, arrangements, cleanliness and appearance. "4—Traffic judges should be well grounded in the knowledge of traffic laws, traffic policing and traffic en- gineering, in addition to regular legal training, Hollywood Movie 'Blizzards' The problem of making real -look- ing artificial snow storms stumped Hollywood two decades ago. When stories called for snow scenes, di- rectors and stars were compelled to brave the bitter cold of moun- tain locations, and the studios the tremendous expenses of transpor- tation. Ed Miller, president of the Miller Cereal Mills of Omaha, Neb., set out to make corn snow that would photograph just like- the real article. He tinkered with his ma- chinery and had a generous supply within a week. But the first batch didn't prove satisfactory. He kept plugging at the problem and before long had turned out flakes so soft and feathery that only 50 pounds could be packed in one four - foot bag. New. Approach R'evealed a On Deadly Virus Disease Dr. A. P. Krueger, professor of bacteriology,now in charge of the first U. S, Naval Reserve labora- tory in, the nation, set up on the Berkeley, Calif., campus,, says he has proved that he' can control a virus by regulating the temperature :to:: hot: without the lat Using bacteriophage, the elemens tee' Vlitts with which he has worked for 13 years, Dr. Krueger employed the substance produced by growing bacteria to make new strides in con- trol of one of the most baffling prob- lerns confronting medical science. This is announced as the first time one ,of the invisible agents, which cause influenza, smallpox, yellow fever and infantile paralysis, has been controlled by heat without the organism being damaged. Science knows that viruses can be killed by heat but it hasn't known that it was possible to save the or- ganisrn. Dr. Krueger announces his experiments as purely elementary at this time. However, it is admit- ted that his experiments may afford an entirely new approach to the problem of virus control to supple- ment work already done in check- ing smallpox, rabies and other. ills with vaccine. The dread infantile paralysis virus, baffling scientists with its multiplicity of strains, may be one of those to which the heat control method may be directed. , According to Dr. Krueger's dis- closures, bacteria which produce virus usually commit suicide. As the bacteria grow the precursor—a substance on which the virus lives— increases and more phage is formed. Once a certain concentra- tion of phage is reached in each bacterium the cell literally explodes. Battleships Get Names Through Navy Secretary How did the new $70,000,000 battle- ship, the North Carolina, get its name? How does any battleship get its name? They don't name battleships when their keels are laid, or when the champagne is dashed across their bows, or when they are finally com- missioned as fighting vessels of the United States navy. But sometime earlier, in the quietude of the secretary of the navy's office in Washington, the name of one of the nation's 48 states becomes that of the unborn dread- nought. • Thus it was with 'the North Caro- lina, commissioned. Thus it will be with the other 17 floating fortresses which, added to 15 already standing guard along America's two coast lines, form the future two -ocean navy. How does a state receive this honer? Under authority from the Presi- dent, the Secretary of the navy names the battleship—at some date after it is ordered. Naturally politics plays its role in this christening. But so do such man-made events as the London naval treaty when the battleships South Carolina, Florida, Michigan, North Dakota and Delaware were ordered scrapped. As a result, these five states will be among the 15 unrepresented in the roster of 33 dreadnoughts -of -the -line. Most of the remainder lost this distinction during other postwar disarmament periods. Map Makers Having Trouble So you think the average map maker is cleaning up in these days of war? According to one of the four globe companies in the United States they are hardly getting along. There was a big splurge of map buy- ing right after the war started, but it died down right away and nothing has happened since, one official said. Changing conditions in this country also necessitate expensive changes in map making. A big atlas, put out by one company, with an index that carries 208,000 items, will have to be corrected due • to the census. Fifteen thousand miles of abandoned railroads in the last 10 years must be eliminated from the maps. U. S. Teaches Scientific Farming On the theory that education is the best tool to combat farm fail- ures resulting from poor farming and mismanagement, the federal government has undertaken a pro- gram of education in scientific farm- ing for youths of needy farm fami- lies. This is the second year that the Farm Security administration, together with the National Youth ad- minstration has conducted a train- ing course of 16 weeks for future farmers on, the site adjacent to the campus of the Pennsylvania State college. The course includes build- ing construction, landscaping, road- ways, and forging, or machinery re- pair. They receive $10 a month, plus room and board ancl medical care. Newsgathering in IL S. The origin of U. S. newsgathering began in 1811 in Boston, Mass., by a young Bostonian, Samuel Topliff, who combed incoming schooners, in the harbor, for news of the out- side world. He recorded it in a newsbook at the famed Exchange Coffee House where patrons came to read. His pioneering effort was the foundation of the United Press, which eventually developed the mechanism called Wirephoto, by means of which pictures can be sent across continents within 10 minutes after they are taken, to -run with the story.

O.M.A. Seeks Action on Tax Exemptions Continued increase in the amount of property exempt from municipal taxation calls for drastic action • to have the Ontario Assessment Act amended at once George Hurst, of Toronto's Assessment Depairtment, told members of the Ontario Munici- pal Association attending the 44th an- nual meeting of the Association being held in Toronto this week. A large part of the four-day meeting was de- voted to municipal tax problems with special emphasis on tax exemptions. Mr, Hurst stated that following an extensive study' the Association had made excellent recommendations to the Ontario Government but that the latter had not as yet taken definite action to amend the Assessment Act. If necessary changes in the ,act are not made Mr. Hurst said 'the finan- cial structures of the municipalities will be weakened and a larger por- tion of the burden of taxation still will have to be carried by the small taxpayer because of exemptions granted under the present act. The small taxpayer today is seeking some definite relief from the now high tax- ation of land and buildings." Listing of tax exempt properties was recommended by Mr. Hurst since it encourages re-examination of claims Inc exemptions and reveals the ex- tent of exemptions granted. "When full information and data respecting tax exemptions are made available to the members of Council, and the press and public, policies may be for- mulated on the sound basis of facts instead of fancies," Mr. Hurst stated. qeSNAPSHOT GUILD PICTURING THE FARM If you want some good picture subjects, take the time to visit a farm. It's well worth It when you can get results like this. PICTURE making on the farm 15 something that many town and city folk are likely to overlook. But it seems to me that a trip into the country, and a visit to a Tana, is a fine thing for anyone with a cam- era—and a splendid way to spend a very pleasant day at this time of year. Slip a few roils of fresh film into your pocket—some "chrome" Alm for outdoor snapshooting, and some fast "pan" for picture taking in- doors or when the light isn't very strong—and you'll be all set. Take along a medium yellow filter for your camera, and a lens shade, too. Picture making on the farm • is one of those' things that might be- gin with daylight if yqu're up that early—thbugh I'll bet you're not., -In any event,' the earlier you get started the better, because then you can make a series of pichires as the farmer milks the cows,' fed the chickeurss tends to the horses, and ,tins the. ptoelc. out tooasture., Working step by step—or picture by picture—in that fashion is an excellent way to approach any photographic subject, particularly one as big as a farm,' because it keeps you from missing snapshot ,opportunities. And if you're look. ing for just a few good pictures, perhaps to enter in, a photographic contest or salon, it gives you many negatives from which to choose. But getting back to the picture possibilities on 'a farm, don't fail to get some pictures of the men working in the fields—as in our illustration, for instance. Look for interesting angles as they plow or harrow the land. If you stand back Horne distance you'll find that a plowman makes a 'perfect center of interest for a, landscape. Keep yoor eyes open and you'll find action, still-life, animal, story- telling and burnt 'interest, pictares,, in abundance everywhere that Brit worlr'in •fire•country: • ! 389 ' ." yin . • I 1 1, rr ;.1;:1;, Id ; 4 ..":$ • 1,44 •
