C. Bowen eif Alberta honoured the 22nd Edmon- ton Boy Scout Group by officially op- , ening the Group's new headq asters, McMillan Hall, in the presence of . Mayor Clarke and a large gathering of prominent citizens and Scout lead- ers. ,The Shadow of George Washington and His. Hatchet ':The 'shadow of a hatchet in the • ghostly hand of George' Washington "when he was young," as Mark Twain ,would have said, gave leaders of the big Scout Jamboree in Washington some concern this summer. Shortly before the '28;000 boys were due to .:arr•ive•in:'the capital capitak camp headquar- .iters was::oalledby 'phone, and a'much concerned feminine voice, "on behalf of a committee of ladies," implored the Scout officials to do all in their power to preventthe boys "chopping the trees with their Scout hatchets." A. somewhat similar, appeal came from the office of the Fine. Arts Commission on behalf of Washing- ton's monuments and public buildings. So there was a final enjoyed laugh at the Scout Jamboree headquarters, af- ter the last boy had left, when the committee of ladies and the Fine Arts Commission called with the "good news" that not one sign of damage had been found anywhere. A diffi- cult question was left, however: Whether American Boy Scouts do not know' their history, or whether they beg to doubt the authenticity of the. cherry tree story, or whether, with respect to trees and hatchets, they presume to be more moral than the Great Father of their country. Which- ever way, a difficult decision! Sea Scouts to have Fleet of Whalers, ' A 28 -foot whaler has been present- ed to the Sea Scouts of Vancouver by the Vancouver Lions Club. The. craft, Which will accommodate 16 boys, is. the second of- a fleet of four which the club set out to provide the British Columbia Sea Scouts. The first was pres,ehted last spring.

The Woman's Missionary Society of the United Church held the Dia mond Jubilee of their organization on Nov. 10th: The meeting was held in the auditorium of the church with ov- er eighty ladiesresent. p g Y Mrs. C. Haugh, President, read the call to worship, followed by hymn 680; "I to the hills will lift mine eyes." The responsive scripj:ure reading wap Psalm 95 and was followed by pray- er by Mrs. (Rev.) W. A. Bremner. Mrs. John Watson gave a most inter- esting. Bible reading prepared by the late Mrs. Rev. E. H. Sawyers, a for- mer resident, on the 28rd Psalm. One comforting thought when we come to the end of the way, we will have com- panionship if we, like the Psalthist, can say, `Although I pass through the valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me." A short sketch of the early clays 'of the Auxiliary was given by Mrs. Jas. McQueen, the only charter member living. Her mother, Mrs. Robert Landesborough, was the first presi- dent, and their home was four and a half miles from Brucefield where the meetings were held. They had no driver so had to drive the'team in the democrat. In closing her remarks, the spea- ker made an appeal for more .mnem- bers for their Auxiliary. They had sustained so many losses recently. In looking back over the past years she realized that while serving to ,bless others she had herself been blest. A short history of the Kelly Circle was given by Mrs. T. B. Baird. Miss Edith Bowey reported for the Auxil- iary since Union in 1927. In the past ten years their donations amounted to over $4,000.00. Mrs. J. Addison of Clinton told of the Marion Oliver Circle which was organized by Mrs. Neil McGregor.

The offering was taken and the dedicatory prayer given by Mrs, Haugh. Hymn 669 "All people that in earth do dwell," was sung. Mrs.' Rev. Gardiner, the Presbyter- ial President, brought a 'wonderful message from the Dominion Board. She said that our Missionary So- ciety is the greatest organization, yet there is just one third of the women of our Church members of our auxil- iary. Mrs, Rev. C. W. D. Cosens•was also present and spoke a few words on impressions she had gathered from hearing the reports. A vote of thanks was given to Mrs. Gardiner. The meeting closed by singing hymn 249, "Jesus shall reign where'er the Sun," and prayer by Mrs. R. Allen. Refreshments were served. The centre place being de- corated by the three-storey birthday cake with it's sixty 'candles. The charter member was asked to put the knife into the cake and blew out the candles. THE LOCAL PAPER No man is too poor to take his 'lo- cal newspaper, and it is false econ- omy to try to get along without it. Hardly a. week passes that something does not appear in its columns which will be a financial benefit to you and by the enol of the year you have made or saved from one to'tryenty tirnes its subscription price. The city papers do not take the place of your local paper, although some peo- ple think they do. The city papers are all right in their way, but they do not give you what you are most interested in in your community. You cannot ,'earn from, them when public meetings are:. held, who are dy- ing and who are marrying, who are moving and who wants to sell land in fact hundreds of items which might be of ,particular importance to you. Such matter, city papers cannot fur- nish -but your local paper does! --Exchange. I ONUESBORO • The W. M. S. held their ,regular meetmg Tuesday, Nov.

IS - FOR HEAVIER CATTLE Heavier and better fleshed cattle are in demand by United Kingdom feeders as a result of the fat cattle bonus scheme which came into effect August 1937 in Great Britain, ac- cording,yto advices received by the Dominion Department of Agriculture from observers on 'that market. Under the new bonus system, cat- tle must be held on feed at least nine- ty clays after importation, before they qualify for the bonus. Lighter and thinner cattle require up to one hundred and fifty days our feed to qualify for the five shillings per cwt. (112 lb.)• "quality" cattle bonus or the two shillings and sixpence per cwt. paid for "ordinary" cattle that are imported. The immediate effect of the recent bonus payment system has been, it is stated, to place the beast on the mar- ket at the earliest date it can qual- ify for thepayment and to replace it with :another. Consequently, the nearer the animal is to market re- quirements, in type and weight when secured, the sooner it is ready to mar- ket. Such an animal is evidently re- quired as a feeder or "store" and is paid for accordingly. The effect of this apparent change in demand on the part of the British feeder is important to Canadians who contemplate exporting cattle to the United Kingdom market, as an indi- cation of weight and finish resuired. Steers of around 1150 lb. weight and fairly well finished are.deelared to be in favour in Norfolk. Birkenhead ar- ea will take leaner kinds of about e- qual weights while in Scotland 900 to 1150 lb. stores, better finished than formerly, are considered about right. About 1100 Ib. is commonly preferred, JUST ANOTHER A royal commission consisting of all manner of brain trusters and big- wigs of one sort and another has been appointed to look into the mat- ter of inter -provincial relations and the relations of the various provin- ces to the federal authorities. There is no can for such body. Two years from now or one year from the elate of the report of. • the commission, the report will be 'ob- solete, for by that time the Domin- ion and the provinces will be one year older and new contingents and problems will have emerged. There's no doubt about that. In this connection we ask, as we have asked before, what are our members of parliament for, if not to dol the very work this commission is appointee] to do? Members of parlia- ment can collect 'evidence even bet - tee than the ''commission can collect such evidence or such facts, for they are intimately related ,every day of their lives. with the circumstances Into which the commission is appoint- ed to make inquiry. The commission has already told the people of Can- ada that their duty begins and ends with fact -reporting and. that the re- sponsibility for making any changes in the way governmental things are parried on rests with parliament, the very body that we insist should gath- er all the facts about its duties. It may be said with more truth than poetry in the assertion, that any wicleawake member of parliament knows more now _ about the ' work handed over to the coininission than the average member of the commis- sion will know when he has yawned his last yawn as he signs the report that will cost this Dominion an un- conscionably large sum of cold cash. But Canadians love to have it so and to be impressed by pomp, and fuss. By, the way, where did that big Step- hens' Commission, or something, get us? -Exeter. Times -Advocate. ALTAR 'STASES DEDICATED At the morning service in Trivitt Memorial church, on Sunday last two. altar vases were dedicated. The vases were presented to the ,church by Miss Dorothy Dixon, of London, inmemory. of her aunt the late Miss Susan Mc Donell. Rev. Mr. Hunt had charge of the 'service. Exeter Times -Advocate. DONATIONS GRATEFULLY RECEIVED IN . WEST (Continued from page 1) All this work is done by a local Re- lief Committee voluntarily. All min.. isters are on, this committee. There is widespread satisfaction with the distribution this year. This ispartlydue to• the wides i cad p crop - failure which levels everyone down to the sarne state of want. ' We feel you who have given to us so liberally, can never be fully thank- ed andwe shall always feel kindly to the district like yours, which 'we know have sent us supplies. I am writing several letters to -day in answer to little notes, sometimes only the name and address of some donor of your excellent preserves, etc, Our hospital was finding it hard to continue this year, owing to the complete inability Of the municipals• ties to pay for their patients, and we are practically reduced to the gov ernment grant of $1.25 per clay. However, Glidden, Eatonia,"and La Porte, all. sent supplies from cars dis- tributed at these points and this is just as good as cash to us. So we, in behalf of the patients and staff of our hospital wish all who donated to know how substantially they have contributed to the efficient function - Ing of our hospital during this Win- ter. I have not heard of any articles of clothing having come in the cars this Year and as I know there ere i s need of this . kind of ,relief from what I learn from our Hospital Supt., anyt- thing that can be sent to us of left - off clothing or blankets will be very acceptable. Should any of the wo- men's organizations near you or else where care to do anything of this kind, parcels should be sent to the chairman of the Relief Committee, Eatonia, Sask,, or to the same offi- cial at Glidden or La Porte. I ani the chairman at Eatonia. In closing, I. wish on behalf of all recipients of your bounty and of the three committees at the above points to wish to you and all doners much success and happiness in your life and work. Yours Very Sincerely, Jaynes Bews,Sec: Treas." A second letter received by Mrs. Geo. Carter from Miss Lona V. Louk of Kindersley, Sask., expressed great appreciation and thankfulness for the donations from the relief cars. Their family of three members received: — 1 bag of potatoes, 1 bag turnips, 1 bag apples, 1 small package beans, same amount of onions, 1 big pump- kin, bottle of pickles, jar of grape juice and 1 gem of fruit. They had also received vegetables and apples from other cars (in past years). She believed the car was very fairly divided and thanked all donors, AWFUL ISN'T IT? A paragraph under the heading "Books that Matter" in this week's issue reveals a rather startling state- ment. In the book "Poison in the Air" by Heinz Leipnrann, he says "There is no adequate defence against gas. Whoever says there is, is a liar." Going on, he points out that Germany has arsenic, which is a base for the manufacture of poison gas, to the extent of 100,000 tons in storage, and has contracted to take 50,000 tons a year from Sweden. This is a sufficient quantity, he says, to make, 130,000 tons of adamsite, "Which would transform the whole of Europe into a mortuary where neither man nor beast nor plant is left alive." And yet we think of the war in China as a thing of horror! We are wrong. The war in China is child's play compared to what might be released if a general conflagration were to break loose in Europe. It behooves every thinking man, woman and child to exert every effort, however small, toward peace. Whether or not the League of Nations has failed in the last, effort should be made to find a solution to the threat of war. —Mitchell Advocate. LACE FATHER, LIKE SON A very interesting fifteen minutes of fast and spicy selling took place at the auction sale of farm effects of Mr. Arthur Weber, Bronson line, Hay last Thursday afternoon when Mr. Weber's 13-year-od son Jack was nice- ly introduced by Mr: Oscar Klopp of Zurich, who was auctioneer at the time, and who pleaded with the large gathering' to put the boy off to a good start, and have him begging for bids as lie and Mr.'Taylor,,;.the other auc- tioneer were obliged to do. The young lad took the hammer in hand like a veteran and welded off the articles' as though he had a great deal of ex- perience, and the many listeners were astonished at his splendid perfor- mance. And so the saying conies true "Like father, like son." —Zurich Herald. SUPER SALESMEN 'SELL TICKETS ON YEAR OLD RAFFLE TO CUSTOMERS To two local youngsters goes credit for, being' super -salesmen. Walking into a store, one asked for change for a quarter as he wished to sell the other a raffle ticket on a tonof coal. Interested the merchant and one of his customers each bought a ticket on the raffle, to discover after that the raffle was over a year: ago.

And during the three generations since photography came into exist- ence people believing in ghosts have maintained that, sine ghosts have been seen, they can be photo- graphed. Even though no ghost believer, when confronted by one, seems ever to have had a camera handy to prove this claim, speculation on the ques- tion has gone so far as to suggest that, surely, photographic chemistry will some day evolve an emulsion' sensitive to the emanations of the spirit world, -if such there be. The discovery and photographic use of the invisible rays of, the spectrum, infra -red and ultra -violet, and of x-rays, Grenz rays and other kinds of radiation for which photographic. emulsions have beendeveloped, le pointed tows giving grounds for the speculation. Certainly a fascinat- ing,- not to say alarming possibil- ity to contemplate, 'but meantime, whether or not spooks exist, present' day photograplryhas no trouble at all in muting synthetic spooks. Behold the spook illustrated: It is the work of an amateur pbotog rapher How war it made? First, with the camera on a, tripod, the door was photographed and the camera shutter closed. Then without the camera's being• moved or the flint wound, the ghost walked intothe picture, the ghost being a person dressed as such. Then a second ex- posure was made for half the time given the first` exposure. In; other words, it was simply the old trick You don't believe in ghosts? Pray how did this one get there? of double exposure, by which all sorts of weird miracles may be per- formed in photography, depending upon the ingenuity of the photogra pher. Ghost :pictures are among the simplest. 143 John van Guilder. REAL ESTATE CHANGES Mr. Frank Brock has disposed his farm adjoining Winchelsea Mr. W. J, Veal.
