FROM HERE AND -
THERE
Parents of Gerald McPherson of
Logan are awaiting word of his
whereabouts. Ile is believed to be
in Greece, Gerald won a $1200
scholarship from the University of
Toronto a year ago and has been
pursuing the study of archaeology in
England 'during the year and on the
continent this summer. When last
heard from he was in Greece.
The congregation of St. Mary's
Anglican Church, Dublin, gathered
recently to pay tribute to Rev. A. O.
Capper, the rector for the past none
years. A laudatory address was read
and a suitable gift presented,
Goderich Collegiate opened last
week with an enrollment of 264
pupils. No changes have been made
in the teaching staff. Interior re-
decorating has been in progress dur-
ing the summer holidays.
Mrs. Joseph Curry of Goderich
recently celebrated her 96th birthday.
She is 'a daughter of the late David.
Cantelon, an early resident of God-
erich. She married Joseph Curry and
moved with him to his Goderich
'township farm, returning to Goderich
about five years ago. Her husband
died eleven years ago, Mrs. Douglas
McDougall of Goderich township is
a grandchild and was present at the
family celebration.
In connection with the reunion of
S. S. Na. 15 of East Zorra, a brief
history of the school building
secured from the log -book, reveals
that the first school building was
erected some time in the 1840's. Thus
the rudiments of education have beer.•
taught in that section for almost one
hundred years.
A four -months -old deer was found
,hanging dead on a fence on the farm
of John Errington, West Wawanosh.
Evidently it had attempted to jump
the fence and got one leg caught.
Evidence of the struggle the deer
had made for life was a trench dug
with its feet below the spot where it
was found hanging.
Short wave radio fans who have
operated amateur 'stations, recently
received notice that for the duration
of the war their licences have been
cancelled'. They were instructed to
make their sets inoperative. Edmund

Christian Youth as one of the eight
representatives of the United church.
While walking, down Oxford street
in Old London she heard her name
called. Turning around she stood face
to face with another lady from
Ridgetown, who has been visiting in
England.

AUTUMN TIPS TOR MOTORISTS
1. Because of earlier darkness, ac-
cidents involving motor vehicles in-
crease
ncrease greatly in September and Oc-
tober over July and August. Make
sure headlights are properly focussed
and burning brightly. Reflectors
should be cleaned and dim bulbs re-
placed. Be sure and use long -life
Canadian -made lamps.
2. Brakes should be checked now
after the summer's heavy driving. At
40 miles an hour, a ear cannot be
stopped under 115 feet. Have the
car wheels "pulled" to assure proper
check.
3. A good anti -freeze is an econ-
omy, not an expense. Many cases
of freeze-up, causing costly repairs,
are due to motorists thinking they
were protected. But boil away types
of anti -freezes evaporate on warm
days, leaving the radiator not suf- I
ficiently protected when cold weather
comes again. The permanent type of
anti -freeze keeps at full strength all
winter long. A popular brand has
been considerably reduced in price
this Autumn.
4. Old, worn tires are dangerous
on rainy Autumn days and parti-
cularly on icy pavements. For saf-
ety's sake, they should be replaced
now.
5. Nothing cuts down a car's ef-
ficiency more than a rust-elogged
cooling system. Formerly it was a
long, expensive process to clean it
out by acids but garages now report
a simple, three-step cleaning process
which does the work in half an hour
at low cast. After having the cool-
ing system cleaned, be sure and use
an anti -freeze which contains special
rust inhibitors.

QUEEN MARY'S OUT -RIDER
Royal Tribute to Britain's
"Courtesy Cops"
Any rank -and -file police motor
cyclist on "courtesy cop" duty 'in
Great Britain may now suddenly find
himself requisitioned as an escorting
out -rider to Queen Mary while she is
motoring through the police division
to which he is .attadhed. •
Provision of a patrol preceding the
Royal C'ar has been decided' upon to
avoid risks in unescorted drives as a
consequence of Queen Mary's motor
accident earlier in the summer on
her Way home from watching the
tennis championship at Wimbledon.
No particular officer will be detail-
ed as an escort. The police chief in
each division will be responsible for
supplying one of his. specially trained
patrol men while the Royal car re-
mains within the boundaries of his
division.
The decisions marks a new develop-
ment in the use of police motor cycl-
sts as "wardens" against road ac-
cidents, first tried out in April of
art year. The men were at once
nicknamed "courtesy cops" because
their attitude to road users was one
of "education rather than prosecu-
tion."
The experiment has proved so suc-
cessful that the House of Lords has
urged its extension at a cost of about
£2,500,000 a year; and, on the basis
of the reduction• in accidents effected
by motor cycle police patrol work in
Lancashire, it is estimated that the
system would save over 1,000 lives
and 100,000 injuries a year.
The selected police motor cyclists
will be on Royal duty when Queen
Mary goes in her maroon and scarlet
saloon to some specially important
function at which big crowds and
heavy traffic are expected. This car
is in the same Royal colour as the
King's; for her entirely private visits
to friends, and for shopping expedi-
tions, Queen Mary uses a dark green
saloon car, the index number of
which , beginning with the single let-
ter "A", is known to every police-
man in London. When she drives in
this car, Queen Mary will continue
to have 110 escort, for, on these trips,
not even Superintendent Green, her
personal detective, or Mr. 0. Hum-
phrey, her chauffeur, know where she
is going until she gets into the ear.
Her motor cycle escort will now
ride in front of her on all semi-of-
ficial as well as official occasions
when Superintendent Green tele-
phones the route to Scotland Yard.
From there it is passed on to police
stations affected, so that constables
can be placed at every road junction
which, the Royal car is to pass and
hold up all other traffic to give un-
hindered passage to the Queen Moth-
er with her advance guard on his
motor cycle.
EIGHT LAUNCHES IN SEVEN
DAYS
Record Activity in Britain's

CANADA AND SAUDI ARABIA,
Arabian ' " count'r'ies and their'
romance have an attraction Tor us,
and none' more so than the Kingdom'
of Saudi Arabaia. The inhabitants
are an ancient race but the kingdom
is a very modern state, as such. It
is only seven or eight years old: , It
is a personal union for two countries,
the Sultan of; Nejd being- also the
King of the Hejaz.
In the 19th century Nejd was an
independent state and the stronghold
of the Wahhabi sect, This was a
Puritan movement within Islam. The
Wahhabis purport to follow in detail
the practice of the prophet Moham-
nied, and regard hs infidels all who
do otherwise. Their enemies are the
enemies of the true faith and there-
fore their every campaign is a holy
war, death in which is a sure pass-
port to Paradise. In their communit-
ies tribal distinctions are completely
eliminated. The old pastime of tribal.
raid and counter -raid is discounten-
anced. The blood feud is no more.
Nejd fell under the Turkish yoke
but in 1913 the present King, Abdul
Aziz Ibn Rahman al Faisal Al Saud,
threw off Turkish rule and captured
from the Turks the Province of Hasa.
In 1921 he added to his dominioris
the territories of the Rashid family
of Shammar, which, he captured by
force of arms, and in 1925 completed
the conquest of Hejaz. In 1926 he
accepted the surrender of the greater
part of Asir, the whole of which is
now part of his kingdom. He is 59.
His son, born in 1905, is the hetr-
apparent. There is a treaty with
Great Britain which recognizes the
independence of the kingdom.
Nejd, or The Plateau, has no defin-
ite frontiers, but may be said to oc-
cupy over 800,000 square miles of
Central Arabai and reaches eastward
to the Persian. Gulf. The pppulation
of 1,2'75,000 is chiefly nomadic and
composed of Arabs, Negroes and
half-breeds. The capital city, Riyadh,
has a large mosque, the Westminster
Abbey of the Wahhabis. The city
has a population of 30,000.
The Hejaz, meaning the Boundary,
extends from Asir on the south to
Transjordan on the north and from
the Red Sea and Gulf of Akaba on
the west to Central Arabia. The
coast line on, the Red Sea is about
800 miles, the area about 112,500
square miles, and the population
about 400,000. Amongst the ports Is
Jedda, the reputed tomb of Eve, the
mother of mankind.
There is very litte direct trade be-
tween Canada and Saudi Arabia,
most of the commodities of both
countries passing to and fro through
British ports. The .Arabs export
woven cloaks, dates, hides and skins.
No fewer than eight vessels, all of
them of importance in one way or
another, have been launched in the
United Kingdom within seven days,
and together they afford an example
of the diversity of ship typss under
construction in British shipyards at
the present time.
Two of the vessels are warships,
and form part of Britain's immense
Naval rearmament programme. They
are the 23,000 ton aircraft carrier
R.M.S.. "Formidable", the largest
warship ever built in Northern Ire-
land, and H.M.S. "Kenya", a Fiji -
class cruiser of 8,000 tons displace-
ment.
Of the six merchantmen launched,
the motorship "Port Quebec" will
shortly be seen in. Canada, for upon
leaving the Sunderland yard where
she is building she will join the ser-
vices of the Port Line (formerly the
Cemn'monwealtls & Dominion Line -
between Europe and North America.
.Another motorship launched, was the
"Dolabelia", of 12,000 ,tons, the last
of a quartette of motor tankers for
the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Co„ Ltd.,
while a third was the Clan liner "Clan
Macdonald", of 9,200 tons dw.
The fourth motorship was the.
"Merchant Prince", a cargo vessel of
9,500 tons for Greek owners. The
other two vessels were steamers., the
"Oriole", for coastal cargo trade, and
the "Cormarsh", an, addition to Brit-
ain's ever-growing fleet of coastwise
colliers:,
Two of the above ships are com
pileting on the East Coast of Scot-
land, two on the Clyde, three on the:
English North East Coast and one at
Belfast.
SAVING SEED OF ANNUAL
FLO.WERS
There is no doubt that the best
seeds of annual': flowers are those,
raised by specialists, but some people
like to grow their awn. ' In, order to
get the:, best seed, vigorous plants
with goods flowers should be chosen.
as seed parents, and inferior plants
growing nearby should be removed,
states Isabella Preston, Division of
Horticulture, Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa. One color or variety
only should be grown in one part of
the garden, so that there is less
danger of bees crosspollinating the
flowers. If seed pods are not form-
ing, a small camel -hair brush should
be used to dust the pollen of one good
plant on to the stigma of the other,
so that there is no doubt of it being.
pollinated. When tihe seed pods have
grown to their full size, they grad-
ually turn brown and crack open.
If time permits, these pods can be
gathered daily, just when they, begin
to open, and laid in shallow boxes in
a dry place until the seeds can be
easily shaken aut. A piece of muslin
should be laid over the boxes' to pre-
vent the seeds getting mixed. When
the seeds are dry they must be sep-
arated from the pods and any dust
or trash that has become mixed with
them. If only a few are grown, hand
picking is( the simplest method to
adopt. Large quantities are cleaned
by the use of sieves. A fine sieve
will take out the dust and leave the
seeds, except the verytimall ones
like poppies which can have the dust
left. A coarser sieve is useful for
round seeds which can drop through,
leaving the trash in the sieve. Seeds
of plants like Asters and Zinnias
have to be cleaned by hand by the
amateur.
If the daily picking of the seeds
is too much trouble, the plants can
be rooted up when most of the seed
pods have formed and are beginning
to ripen. They are then laid on
sheets outdoors during the day and
brought inside at night until the
seed -pods ripen and the seeds can be
beaten or shaken out. They must then.
be cleaned as described above. After
the seeds are cleaned and dried, they
should be put in envelopes and care
fully labelled, and be kept in air-
tight containers in a cool place until
Spring.
TO REASSESS LANDS
Mogg & Quinlan who recently com-
pleted the equalization of assessment
of the County of Huron and whose
work is being reviewed by the Town
of Goderich and the township of
Stephen, who feel that they have
been assessed too high, have been
engaged to reassess all of the prop-
erties in the township of Hulett and
I the Village of Blyth, upon the com-
pletion of which they will proceed
with the equalization of the County
'of Lanark.
