The air at Zurich was made "frag- rant" or otherwise on Friday .last by a flow of case goods whiskey brought about in this way. Included in a shipment of goods delivered to a merchant of that village was a barrel, which he found to be filled with bottled whiskey. .As he had not ordered any liquid refreshment of that nature he notified Inspector Torrance, who at once began an in- vestigation. It was found that it had been intended for one of the Hotel keepers at Zurich. P.M. And- rews administered a. fine and a warn- ing. Inspector Torrance made short work of the whiskey. Bottle after bottle he broken and poured out the contents until the air was perfumed and the citizens cane to investigate. Mr. N. A.

Henry of: Trinity Uni- versity has taken a scholarship in mental and moral philosophy in his recent examinations, previous to his final examination in arts. This schol- arship is awarded to the pupil of the highest standing hi first class hon- ours of that department. Our Col- legiate is justly proud of the success of Mr. Hovey and his many friends congratulate him on his well deserved success. Mr. Smith Kilty of Calumet, Mich., le calling on friends in town and else-: where before going west to Dauphin, Man. Although Calumet is in the midst of great copper mines and a good business centre, residence there was not i leasant, to his way of think- ing, owing toy the anti-British senti- ments of the majority :of foreigners Who compose the population. Burglary — Davis' and Rowland's store was. entered by burglars on Sunday morning and their whole out- fit of razors, knives and scissors was carried off. Next, the thieves made an attempt to enter Holloway and 3/knish's store, but were frightened off. Night Watchman Hermannot- iced the open window in Davis and Rowland's store and at once sum- moned Mr. Rowland'' and Chief Wheatley. The Town Council decided. on, Mon- day night that granolithic walks would be built eec residence streets and they will be placed outsidethe trees. The question of whether the granolithic walks would be placed in- side or outside the trees, has been FISHING CONTINUES GOOD I THROUGH EASTERN'CANADA Montreal, June - Reports from all fishing areas in Eastern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes report good catches, water and other neces- sary conditions being excellent, ac- cording to the Fish and Game De- partment of the Canadian National Railways. At Parent, Quebee, where fine fishing waters abound, a sixteen pound trout was taken during the week. Other areas reporting good catches are the Laurentides Provin- cial Park, in -Quebec, Timagami, in Northern Ontario and the :salmon rivers of New Brunswick where a run of heavy fish is noted. CALIFORNIANS IMPRESSED BY BEAUTIES OF JASPER' Jasper, Alberta, June - "We ac- cepted the invitation to visit Canada and we have been impressed by the beauty of the surroundings and the courtesy of Canadians,". commented H. B. Langheldt, directing the first Canadian tour of the Southern Pac- ific Club, of San Francisco. Fifty members- engaged in a tour which included a stay at Jasper Park Lodge in Jasper National Park on the Transcontinental Line of the Canad- ian National Railways. "We will cornu again," added Mr. Langheldt. WOOD IMPORTANT AS WAR MATERIAL Ottawa, Ontario, June - Wood is an important war material and is included in some lists of contraband, states the Industrial Department of, the Canadian National Railways, the National System hauling• a large per- centage. of the forest products' of the Doininion. Timber is needed in var- ious ways for war purposes while much wood is used in the manufac- ture of war equipment. From wood pulp is manufactured cellulose nit- rate, or gun -cotton, used as an ex- plosive and as the chief ingredient of smokeless powders, photographic films, collodian and celluloid plastics. Wood flour forms an appreciable part of dynamite, "while a type of wood. charcoal is used in gas masks. The timber resources of. Canada import- ant in peace time trade, play an equally important role in war. "HOW CAN I PERSONALLY HELP- WIN ELPWIN THE WAR?" That question is being asked by citizens all over Canada. A direct and personal method of giving aid to the Empire at this time is to contribute to the ."Mayor of Toronto War Fund." Mayor Ralph C. Day, of Toronto, stated to -day that a large number of enquiries from former Toronto resi- dents now living elsewhere in Can- ada and United States has coma to his attention, asking if the "Mayor or Toronto War Fund" was restricted to Toronto citizens. His Worship stated that the Funcl, which was established for the pur- pose of supplying Britain with much needed war material as quickly and as plentifully as possible, would wel- come contributions from Canadians everywhere, and even from sympath- izers of other nationalities. Contributions are now pouring in- to the Fund Office in the City Hall, Toronto, from hamlets, towns, and cities all over Canada and United States. All moneys collected for the "May- or of Toronto War Fund" will be put into the immediate purchase of war materials and other help to Britain. It was pointed out that the Fund is a "citizens' fund", a fund designed for those who want to voluntarily give money toward the war effort of Britain. Total of the Fund is now, $27,000. Contributions should be sent to the "Mayor of Toronto War Fund", City Hall, Toronto. Cheques should be made payable to the "Mayor of Tor- onto Far Fund." ALL BEHIND CANADA DER NORDWESTEN, Winnipeg, June 19, 1940, in an editorial on French negotiations for Armistice said; "The people of all races who make up Canada's population stand firmly behind Canada. No one, either by word or deed, should work against this spirit of unity. That is of na- tional importance. Every Canadian who wishes to retain his personal and' political freedom should know ` that this is the time for help." much discussed. There were many Ins but still more Outs and at the Monday meeting of the Council the question was deckled. Other towns, Winghaan and Brussels had also vot- ed that the walks be placed outside the trees. Mr. D. B. Kennedy has sold his driver to Mr. .1. W. Hill andis now without . a horse for the first time in thirty years, The Misses Holmes of Tillsonbu g, Guelph and Peterboro returned on Monday to spend the holidays at their home, Miss Minnie Rumball visited her sister in Toronto last week. Mr. E. Pennebaker returned on Monday from a trip up the lake, where' he was measuring a shipment of lumber for the Organ factory. Miss Elsie Dowser, who has been teaching at Temiscamingue district in -training at Cornwall. for a couple of years is now, a nurse - BUSINESS IMPROVEMENTS Ontario — Retail sales continue above those of last year despite spot- tiness evident in May as a result of adverse weather conditions: Whole- sale business remains steady andin satisfactory volume. Collections are fair to good. Many industries have been awarded important contracts for war supplies during the past month' and •manufacturers are urged to speed deliveries. Automobile fac- tories are operating at higher levels on car orders and aircraft manufact users are steadily expanding opera- tions. Machine tool' and tap and die industries are close to peak produc- tion. Activity of agricultural im- plement plants and the heavy iron and steel industries continues at double the rate of a year ago. Auto- mobile tire and rubber footwear manufacturers report increased busi- ness over the previous month. Fur- niture factories are only moderately active. The slackening in demand noted by tanners in April has been accentuated and shoe manufacturers, apart from those engaged on army orders, are mostly on reduced schedules. Newsprint production rose markedly during May. Textile, 'wool- len, hosiery and knitting mills gen- erally, aided by war orders; are fully engaged. Sales of paint substantially exceed those of last year. Gold pro- duction for April totalled 255,712 ounces ($8,949,920 U.S.) as compar- ed with 245,699 ounces ($8,599,465 U.S.) in. April, 1939. ' TORONTO SHIPS MOST AIR EXPRESS Toronto ships more air express than any other Canadian city, accord- ing to Trans -Canada Air Lines stat- istics for 'May. During that period, a total of 1,579 shipments was for- warded. Of this, 5'41 originated in Toronto, 393 in Montreal, 296 in Van- couver and 119 in Winnipeg. May accounted 'for 401 shipments' more than April and more than a ton in- crease in weight. The aggregate weight for May was 8,699 pounds. TOBACCO RECORDS For the third successive year, Canadian tobacco production in 1939 exceeded all previous records. The revised estimate of 109,946,000 lbs. was greater than the 101,394,600 lbs. in 1938 by 8,451,400 lbs., or eight per cent, and was more than double the five-year (1933-37) average produc- tion of 51,463,800 pounds. HEALTH VALUES OF CANADIAN FOODS The subject of health values of Canadian foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, is receiving an in - 'creasing amount of attention and presents problems of national import- ance, said Dr. J. M. Swaine„ Direct- or, Science Service, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, in a recent ad- dress on "Technical Agriculture in War Time; Discoveries made in the last few years have shown that the buoyant health of human beings, and also of domestic animals, depends in part on the consumption of small amounts of chemical substances call- ed vitamins, whose importance until recently was almost completely un- known. Canadian fruits and vegetables contain certain of these vitamins in sufficient amount if the products are wisely selected and properly prepar- ed for the table. Research is con- tinually bringing to light new facts about these health substances, but more is required to be known before Canadian home-grown products can be utilized to the fullest advantage. It may be said that several Canad- ian laboratories are working on these problems at the present time, and, if the program that has been planned can be carried through to completion, a great deal more information on the health values of Canadian fruits and vegetables should,be available before this year is over. There can be little doubt that the subject well deserves the attention of technical agriculture. MILK The elements necessary to the growth,, repair and health of the human body are proteins, minerals, carbohydrates and vitamins, writes Dr. E. W. Henry, in an article on nutrition in the current issue of "Health," organ of the Health Lea- gue of Canada. Milk provides some variety on oth- er of all of these requirements, Dr. McHenry states, pointing out that milk is exceptionally rich in calcium, and this is of the greatest import- ance to infants and children because it helps to form sound, strong bones• and teeth. Milk not only is a rich source of vitamin A, but supplies the best pro- tein, one of that is especially help- ful to growth, the article continues. And, too, milk supplies two more ex- eellent and essential foods, cheese and butter. Cheese contains calcium in the proportion of one quarter of a pound to a quart of milk. Eggs are an indispensable item of. diet, the article asserts. They fur- nish protein, fat and vitamins- and also the iron which the body must have. "The mother who can supply her family with plenty of milk, cheese, butter .and eggs need worry very little about the health of her brood," Dr. McHenry states. She has already provided most of the essentials of nutritious diet, and her chief concern will be variety of preparation, BONE MONEY GOES TO LONDON London—From a distant outpost 01 the British Empire, the keeling' Cocos Islands, some, 600 miles south- west of Java, the British Broadcast- ing roadcasting Company recently .received a sub- scription for its overseas journal "Landon Calling" in a very unusual form. Out of the envelope fell a number of bone tokens of various shapes—the local currency in rupees and cents. On each was stamped the value, the year of issue, the arms of. the islands, and the name of the Gov- ernor, T. S. Clunies Ross, by whose secretary the subscription was sent. The story of the. Keeling Cocos corr'ency dates back to the thirties of Last century when Capt. John Clunies Ross started a settlement on Hoare Island. In those early days the natives did not have even- bone coins; they, had sheepskin notes sign- ed by the head of the Ross family. Later on the father of the present Governor tried to introduce the sil- ver coins of the Straits Settlements, but in about two years these had all been used up as ornaments, brooches and earrings for the women: The present owner and Governor of the Islands is Mr. J. S. Clunies Ross, the great-grandson of the founder. He, too, lives on Home Island where he rules over a com- munity of some 1,400. Malays and Looks after his coconut plantations. C.A.S.F. UPKEEP' IS FULLY ASSURED OTTAWA, June—The Department of Munitions and Supply has placed orders for 70,000 pairs of braces for the C.A.S.F. The requisition from. the Department of National Defence covering the order specifically stat- ed the braces were required "for gen- eral upkeep purpose." 30 MILLION TONS OF SALT That is the world consumption of salt according to a statistician who states that this amount of coarse salt would cover a square mile of land -to a depth of 30 feet and yet could be obtained by exaporation from one- fifth of a cubic mile of sea water. It is an astounding fact that in Can- ada alone at Windsor, Ontario, there is enough salt to last the world, should all other sources fail, for close to 100,000 years. SCRAP OLD SHIPS Novel Plan for Britain's Peace Time Merchant Fleet A plan for scrapping, after the war, all British merchant vessels over 20 years old is now being put before the British shipping industry by Sir Philip Baldin, president of the Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom. When the war is over, he also sug- gests that British' ship -owners ought to buy, as quickly as possible, the merchant fleet which the ' Govern- ment are building to -day. The days are getting longer at the rate •of about one -thousandth of a second each century. The increase in length is due to the slowing down of the earth's rotation, caused mainly by the brake action of the tides. —Natural History.

Sales Keep Pace With 1939 Levels With letter to shareholders enclos ing quarterly dividend cheques, President A. G. Partridge stated: "While completed reportsfor the first six months are not yet avail-, able, our total sales for this period will compare very favorably with the 'same period of 1939 and earnings will continue to exceed dividend re- quirements. "In Canada new car and truck registrations are over 30% ahead of 1939." NOTES ON NYLON When a ukulele -playing fisherman found himself in an isolated sum- mer colony without a new string for his instrument, he used part of a nylon fishine• leader as a t substitute. Or rather, he thought it was going to be temporary, but the nylon string outlasted the gut by several months, and now he strums nothing else. This unexpected use for the synthetic filament, which is one of the newest products of the chemical laboratory, seems to be as satisfactory for ukulele strings as for fishing leaders or replacing: silk for women's stockings. t7ircccca JUST LiKE Riding and Hiking in, The Clouds TWO highlights of the summer season in the Canadian Rockies will be the more than usually in- teresting outings planned by the Trail Riders and Trail Hikers of the Canadian Rockies. Their midsum- mer excursions on horseback or by foot into beauty spots off the beaten path will be especially attractive this year to Canadians who will stay away frons -the United States because of high monetary exchange and to Americans barred from the holiday resorts of Europe and at- tracted to Canada by favorable ex- change. The Trail Riders will hold their ave -day outing from July 26 to 30, Mowing a spectacular trail; from Marble Canyon in British Columbia to Lake Louise. The Trail Hikers, of the Canadian Rockies will have one central camp for four days in the magnificent Egypt Lake and Simpson Pass summit area. Their outing is from August 2 to 5. Both these organizations have a world-wide membership. Anyone can join, the only qualifications being a love of the open and the Willingness to share common pleasures with others,POn the trail, members sleep intents or Indian teepees; simple. but satisfying meals are dished, up in the cook -tent; trained packers. and guides do the heavy work. All unnecessary frills are eliminated, how- ever, bringing the outings right down to the hearty basic pleasures of the out-of-doors and keeping the costs: ataminimum. J. M. Gibbon, Windsor' Station, Montreal, secretary for both organizations, reports a growing in- terest in this type- of holiday and': expects record numbers to take part this year. Other special entertainment planned: for this year in the Banfl-.Lake Louise district includes such fascinating• events as the Indian Days' eelebta tions at Banff, July 18-21; Banff Golf Week, August 18-24; Banff School of Fine Arts, August 1-31; the annual Stampede at Calgaryy, July 8-13; and the annual camp of the Alpine Club of Canada at Glacier Lake Camp,.
