WHAT OTHER NEWS PAPERS ARE SAYING
A BIT THICK
The latest episode in the Duke of
Windsor -Mrs. Simpson story is that
they are to settle down in Florida af-
ter their marriage, according to the
St. Louis Star -Times. Governor
Shultz is supposed to have received a
cabled request from Mrs. Simpson's
host, H. L. Rogers, that a house be
rented for the couple at Miami Beach.
They intend to seek peace and quiet
where the press gave so much pub-
licity before the King's abdication,
where, Baltimore voted Mrs. Simpson
one of the cities best advertisers in
1936, where insistent public curiosity
hounded the Lindbergh's into exile.
The whole thing sounds a bit thick.

.REFORESTATION AND
WATER -CONSERVA-:
TION IMPORTANT
The ever-increasing spring floods
from our rivers and the greater,
drought in river', beds during the
summer are different phases of the
same problem. Interfering with the
process of nature through cleaning up,
the natural forest in clearing the land
and the doing away with swamps has
wrought a change which is beginning
to remind us with unmistakable cer-
tainty that Nature cannot be exploit-
ed without paying the price.
A. ,definite campaign- has been
launched throughout the counties of
Western Ontario to rouse interest and
action in reforestation and the .con-
servation of our water supply.
The first active program has been
launched through the initiative of
municipalities along the Grand River
whose great floods and periodic
drought -have been a source of increas-
ing concern. Following a survey by
government engineers the first of a
series of dams is to be constructed
shortly, a few miles above the town
of Fergus.
It is hoped that public interest will
be roused to the. extent of demanding
a province -wide program of conserva-
tion that will deal adequately with the
situation.
In Perth County, under the chair-
manship. the County School Inspec-
tors, James H. Smith and A. E. Nel-
son have drafted a course of studies
for the public schools, to instruct the
children in the need for conservation
and in practical ways for the indivi-
dual to do his share.

DON'T OVERDO
We were interested a couple of
years ago in the remarks made by an
outstanding physical culturist to a
man he was making over: Thesub-
ject of the treatment and remarks
was eager to get well and strong.
Should he fail to do so, he realized,
that dark days were ahead for him.,
Said the manbuilder, "You expect`
to repair in a few weeks the damage
you've wrought yourself in years.
Well, it can't be done, no matter how
eager you are to get the results you
seek. You overdid it in hockey and
baseball and sleep -dodging and eat-
ing. You're the wreck you are be-
cause you overdid, not because of
what you did. Get that, my man."
"But I must get back quickly!"
"It can't be done. Remember, the
piper in such cases always overchar-
ges, though you called the tune. Un-
less you come off your high horse go
to some one, else for your help."
"I've tried everything else, so Iyl'1
do as you say!" the poor victim sub-
mitted.
We were amazed 'atthe simplicity
of the course prescribed and at the
remarks of the maxi -builder. "Do
these things with interest aid don't
overdo. Now, no bunk 'bout it!"
"I met the party treated only the.
other day. He was, a new man. His
eyewas good.. His step was lively

get tired', he stold us. 'I was des-

Ever think about this?

A DANGEROUS UBSTANCE
That "familiarity breeds contempt"
is surely true in respect to the pub-
lic's attitude toward gasoline. Pos-
sibly its common, everyday use in
motdr cars has destroyed the respect
and awe for it we once possessed.
Cans or jars are kept in homes, stores
domestic garages, ete., and little,
thought is given to its possible dan-
ger and the great latent energy it has
for fire or explosion.
A few facts compiled by the Outer -
lo Fire Marshal on gasoline might be
interesting and might renew our care
in its handling and storage. One gal-
lon of gasoline, we are told, has sub-
stantially the power equal to 83
pounds of dynamtie. Gasoline will
give off 130 times its bulk in vapor,
and, when vaporized, will convert
1,560 times its volume into an explo-
sive mixture. Five gallons of gaso-
line will generate 8,000 cubic feet of
gas. This will fill a room 20 feet by
40 fet by 10 feet. When ignited it
expands to 4,000 times that space
(4,000 times 8,000 cubic feet), which
equals 32,000,000 cubic feet.
One gallon of gasoline, under favor-
able conditions, will render explosive
200 cubic feet of air. This vapor is
not, as with some gases, quickly dis-
seminated inthe atmposphere, flow-
ing harmlessly away. Gasoline vapor
is heavier than air and will settle to
the floor and flow along like the wat-
er of a stream, filling every hole and
depression. There it remains for
days if there is no current of air to
dispel it -a lurking menace, unseen
and often unsuspected until a chance
spark or flame sets it off. Proper
ventilation, either natural or forced, is
therefore essential in any place where
gasoline is used or stored.
We wonder, in view of all these
facts, that more accidents do not oc-
cur.

parka."
Her arms were clasped tight about
his neck. She lingered a moment to
return his kiss. Then, her blue eyes
aglow, she ran to obey him.
When she came hastening back, in
her Eskimo costume, she ventured an
appeal: "Can't I have a comb and
brush and -and soap, Alan?"
He looked soberly past -her• shoul-
der at the amused face of her hostess.
"Well, yes, I dare say you can. We're
going first to' Edmonton. Your fath-
er is there. I sent ]rim a message
that we are coming."
She plucked at the wolverine fringe
of her parka hood. "You -you cheat!"
He took her into his arms, regard-
less of the onlooking lady. "My girl,
we are back in civilization. We are
first going to be properly married."
"But these caribou suits?"
"Best of flying costumes. We're
taking a two-seater. The suits will
come in handy again this winter when
I teach Mrs. Garth how to drive a dog
team.' Until then it's to be silks for
my girl. I must first testify at the
trial. After that we'll hop over to
Victoria and take a steamer to Japan
for our honeymoon."
"Oh, Alan, how- how delightful!
But Japan? Why, 1 never dreampt a
prospector like you would care to tra-
vel in the Orient. So, if -if you'd
rather go back to the valley, dear-"
Her hostess could no longer keep si-
lent.
"Prospector, Miss Ramill! Is that
all you know about Mr. Garth?. His
father is one of the heads of the Hud-
son's Bay Company. He himself is a
member of our Parliament, a fellow
of the Royal Geographical Society, a
noted explorer--"
, "And the winner of the gamest girl
I ever knew," Garth cut in. "Come
on, Squaw Lilith. You've proved
yourself a mate woman. Now you're,
going to be my lady wife,"
THE END.
COUNTY NEWS
GODERICH: More than 2,200
pounds , of beef, wrapped up in the
tough hides of Huron county's only
team of trained oxen, have, gone to
the slaughter -house. The team was
owned by Nelson Culbert, of Dun-
gannon, who raised the three -year-
olds from calves, training them to do
everyday farm work. Mr. Culbert
always claimed they were as gentle
as lambs, but when he exhibitedthem
yoked to a heavy wagon, at town
fairs, it was noticed the curious gave
the great beasts a wide berth.

supper put on last Friday evening by

Bible Class in the Evangelical church

mately 350 people were served, and.
Mounted Police Series Postponed
Temporary postponement of the series of dramatizations based on
the adventures of the North-West Mounted Police no doubt will dis-
appoint many radio fans, but this column would like to point out that
the series has not entirely been placed in the discard. Reason for the
delay is the inability of the CBC program department" to complete
preparations for the initial broadcast., It is expected that the series
will get under way at a very early date.
New Microphones
Radio authorities at the CBC Toronto studiosare waxing enthus-
iastic over the new uni-directional microphones recently installed
there. The mikes combine the best features of the better known vel-
ocity and dynamic types and tend to cut off surplus noises from the
rear, particularly in eases where audiences are present or when a
public address system is in use. ,They make for better program re-
ception, too.
Sunday Broadcasting Activities
To• most people Sunday is the "listen -in" day of the week. The
large American networks and those of foreign countries have am-
bitious schedules of programs that bring the world of music and en-
tertainment into homes with the mere twist of a dial. Our own CBC
has not fallen behind in Sunday broadcasting, either, and Canadian
listeners are provided with a wide diversity of features carefully
chosen for their appeal both in the matter of amusement and educa-
tion. Starting at 3.00 min.. the national network opens to carry the
two-hour concert by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra from
New York. This is followed by a program called "Vesper Hour,"
from Winnipeg, at 6.30 by "Le Quatuor Alouette," from Montreal,
and at 6.45 by a fifteen -minute summary of the week's news by Dr.
H. L. Stewart, from Halifax. At 7.00 n.m. the CBC takes an ex-
change from New York called "Professor Quiz and his Brainbusters,"
and at 7.30 presents "And It Came to Pass," a biblical dramatization.
Rex Battle and his Royal York Orchestra are heard at 8.00, and at
3.30 Vancouver comes on the air with "Jewels: of a Madonna." The
013C at 9.00 pan. presents a drama from the Toronto studios and at
10.00 the internationally famous "Atlantic Nocturne" from Halifax.
Then. to wind up the day's broadcasting, the national network car-
ries three features of equal merit: William Morton, tenor, from To-
ronto: the Canadian Press News Bulletins, from Toronto, and "Sweet
and Low, featuring Mart Kenney's orchestra, from Vancouver.
"Night Shift" on a Fox Farm
Ever seen foxes on a farm at night? Ever heard their yapping,
seen the way they are fed, or how they act? Well, Bob Bowman, the
CBC's "Night Shift" man will describe those things, and many more,
on February 18 when he takes his microphone to Charlottetown,' P. •
E.I.. for a broadcast from one of the most famous farms on the Is-
land. Right now he is packing up his goods and chattels and prenar-
ing to leave Halifax where he has just concluded an interesting show
from Chehucto Head Lighthouse, After the P.E.I. affair he will
leave for Saint John, N.B., to entertain listeners from the bowels of
a South American freighter where workmen will be unloading her car-
go of fruit for the Canadian market.
Broadcast Howard -Jones Recital
Lovers of piano music will greet with joy the announcement that
CBC intends to broadcast nationally a recital on February 19, at
9.00 p.m. EST, by the world-famous Welsh pianist, EvIyn Howard -
Jones. This brilliant master, who is engaged in his second Canadian
concert tour and who is rated as one of the most distinguished of
Nd Country musicians, will be featured from the Toronto studios.
We mention this forthcoming broadcast because it will be one of the
exceptionally outstanding presentations of its kind.
Those "Sing -Song" Plans
George Young said farewell to his friends in Toronto, boarded
the train for British Columbia and has now started on his tour that
will take him within the next three months, to most of the important
cities from Victoria to Halifax where he will produce the famous
"Sing Song" broadcasts. CBC has made reservations in town halls,
• theatres. and large public buildings in anticipation of the large
crowds that will attend and has asked this column to extend invita-
tions to au its readers to participate in he programs. News of Mr.
Young's visit to your city will be made as soon as possible and you
will find a hearty welcome awaiting you.

NIGHT STREET SCEiNES
Wet pavements add interest to night street scenes.
B1 i.IISVE it or not, lighted street
scenes can be photographed -
even with the most inexpensive,
cameras -with little more experi-
ence it takes to make a snap-
shot in bright sunlight. The lighted
theater and business districts of the
average town or city offer opportuni-
ties for strikingly attractive pic-
tures. If the pavements are wet, so
much the better, for 'the :resulting re-
flections will add charm and interest.
Indeed, a rainy night should be pre-
ferred for night street scones.
Such pictures require fairly long
time exposures. Do not be concerned
by the passing of persons or vehicles
in the field of vision because they
will not be recorded on the film pro-
vided they do not stop and provided
the lights from automobiles do not
shine directly into the camera lens.
If an automobile or trolley car comes
toward the camera, either close the
shutter or' hold something dark over
the lens until it has passed.
Be careful not to move the camera.
The length of exposure will neces
eerily, depend on the quantity and
quality of the light on the scene and
the size of the stop opening of the
eaiuera.With stop 2.6 or f.11, an ex-
posure of from two to ten minutes':
for a well lighted subject will give
satisfactory results. If the illumina-
tion is weak, the exposure may have
to be increased to twenty-five min-
utes or more.
Buildings all or partly outlined'.

teresting pictures. Details of the.
building should not show in the fin-
ished print or the effect : will be
spoiled; therefore, ears should be
taken to avoid overexposure. 'Ise
stop opening 2.16 and allow about.
five to fifteen seconds depending on
the brilliancy of the lights. This set-
ting should give detail around the .
