Escape the hot kitchen during summer. ,Here's a new and delightfully different way to enter- tain your guests. And then editors have their say—, as for example: Many of the new portable grills are collapasible, and one large one, built like a tea wagon even has rubber tires and warming, shelves. Prides range all the way from $3.50 to $49. If the grill isnot set up too far from the kitchen, salads may be served in the first flush of their youth, little baking powder bisuuits will be piping hot in •a linen napkin; and the fruit will still wear that faint patina of chill from the ice -box.

Yet in the United States this picture has not been nearly as well received as was the stage play despite the fact that many have found the films, with its larger back- ground possibilities, more t o their liking. One movie theathre which was to show .the film advertised it in the local newspaper after his. Manner: "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" is the big- gest flop in the history of the show business. It is the greatest motion picture in history. The RKO Radio studios spent a fortune in money in producing it. Yet the cruel fact re- Mains- that the theatre -going public of America from New York to 'Frisco is shunning this top picture of the century. The public is depriving itself of the grandest entertainment ever conceived on the screen.

Had there been no Bible to print it is most likely there would have been no demand for the books which were to come from the first printing presses. The first words which Gutenberg printed with his movable types were those of the Lord's Prayer: "Our Father which art in Heaven . .," and the first book ever printed with. movable types was the whole Bible, which in itself is a singular fact.

Scientific Agriculture Great War Time Role The role of technical agriculture. during the war said Dr. J. W. Swains,'. Director, Science Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, in a re- cent address at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont, is clearly to as- sist in maintaining a sound agri- cultural industry in Canada, compet- ent to supply the agricultural pro- ducts required to a greater degree than ever before, able to furnish the United Kingdom. and the allies of Canada with whatever_ they may peed,` and to amintain a standard that will make post-war adjustments pos- sible without .serious trade disturb- ances. With an industry dependent so largely on .overseas trade, and with, those markets greatly reduced, and future demands extremely uncertain, technical agriculture has before it 'a great field of work. Canada.''s larg- est market, the home market, should be more fully exploited; much at- tention has t-tention'has been given to selling ap- ples and; poultry in Great 'Britain, probably toe little to selling them in Ontario and the Prairie Provinces. Soil, fertility must be improved and. maintained; the best cultural prac- tices employed; the best seed produc- ed and used; improved varieties .de- veloped and utilized; farm economics studied and applied; plant and animal pests and diseases controlled; new uses for agricultural products found and exploited; storage and processing facilities used much more extensiv- ely; and production and marketing policies and educational programs carried through as effectively as possible. Canadian produce iehould be of the finest quality, with the greatest economic production per acre in order to obtain the lowest possible cost to the producer and to the consumer. In all this work, ,scientific -tech- nical agriculture must give leader- ship and guidance, for on its help the agricultural community will be dependent as never before in the history of Canada. Careful planning by agricultural leaders and by in- dividual farmers will be absolutely necessary in order for agriculture to play its part successfully in the years ahead.

The first wagon shop was opened by Hugh McIntosh, and: for many years manufactured a large number of wagons for the farmers in the district, but, litre many other articles, the day came when wagons were turned out wholesale by large faa- torles, and the small plants were closed. Other flourishing businesses in the early days were several shoemakers+' shops, : tailor shops, a stave mill and cooper shop, carriage shops, ate; Most of these early concerns are now elope ed, and all owing to the same cense -- competition from the large fac- tories. But we must not run away with the thought that Brueefield is dead' or dying. Instead, she is very Innen alive, and still carries on a large, trade with the surrounding country, it was no wonder that mechanics and small manufacturers should flock to Brucefield at an early period in her history. The first blacksmith was William McMillan. Others were James Johns, 13. Kaiser, Duncan Mc- Donald and Sam Pollock. In the early days, a bag of wheat was often taken, to London or God- erich on theback of an ox, and the flour brought back was precious in the farmer's home. In order to, supply this staff of', life, Adam Smith open- ed a flour mill, and for many years prospered,' but as roller mills began to multiply, the old stone mills were forced to close their doors. W. T. O'Neil was the first harness maker, and his was a busy shop for many decades when horses furnished the motive power en the farm and the highway. A. grain elevator that was kept open for, about half a century by William Scott & Co., and through which has passed minions of bushels of grain, is now under the control of Laird Mickle, of Hensall. In earlier days, a pump factory was conducted by a MVir.• Lang. A cheese and butter factory prospered for several years, and was run by Hugh McCartney. It was gradually crowded out by larger concerns in other plaees. Large creameries sent out their trucks over a wide territory sand gathered the cream, making no charge to the farmer for trucking it • REAL WINDPIPE Peter Grippe, twelve, who for ten years breathed through a rubber tube in his neck, has been given a real windpipe of skin taken front his arm by plastie surgeons at London's Hoes pital for Sick Children.
