Editor The Sea;forth Neese,
when we, listen to the many hair,
penings in the world today we pauso
and ask ourselves, What. Ore we suf-
fering in this peaceful Dominion
where we still sleep with peace tend
eat with plenty? Czechoslovakia,
so with Poitrl
Hargan, Enrma, Czechoslovakia, Pol-
end, Norway, France, Greece, eibl-
land and tho .many other countries
that have been overrun, Govern--
metes
overn-meats overthrown, freedom gone, re-
sources taken, yes, even taken out
and shot for standing for the free-
dom of the land they loved, Again,
What are we suffering in this great
Dominion of Canada, one of the
finest countries under the sun today
that has lived iiiore than a hundred
years beside our good neighbors to
the South of us in peace, unity and.
good will Also, where every mean,
woman and child can worship their
God without fear or dismay. Privil-'
edges and Blessings we should all be
glad to enjoy, This Dominion was
declared by clever financial critics
judging by the population of the dif-
fei"ent"countries to be one of the
finest, richest countries en this Hem-
isphere,
emisphere, Think of this province alone,
larger in square miles than England,
lr'eland and Scotland combined. The
city of old London and suburbs in
normal times were nearly as high in.
population as the whole Dominion
and this province has but 34e million
people. 'Think of the immense size of
this Dominion, larger in square miles
than the great republic to the South
of us with one hundred and thirty-
two million people. Also of the
richness of this country in lumbering,
agriculture, mining, minerals, manu-
facturing, fruit growing, stock rais-
ing, vegetable growing, fisheries and
many other valuable assets of this
Dominion. Turning back to confeder-
ation, some seventy six years ago,
.,..when such brilliant men of vision and
intellect as Sir John A. McDonald,
the first premier of this Dominion,
Honorable Alexander McKenzie, Sir
George Brown, Sir Leonard Tilley,
Sir Charles Tupper and the many
others who formed confederation,
saw at that time behind this young
country a great future, the makings
of a great Dominion. They formed it
'into nine great provinces. Before
confederation it was divided in two
great sections, upper and lower Can-
ada. By their clever ingenuity these
two blocks were united into one
great Dominion, the country we 'are
so proud of today. Looking over this
Dominion at blessings, privileges,
resources and the richness, we turn
away to British Columbia with huge
forests and lumbering interests to
grand agricultural lands, fruit grow-
ign orchards, coal mines and other
mining minerals where they live
"uder grand climatic conditions mak-
ing it a grand country in which to
dwell, Turning to the three north
west provinces where in past years
many of our fine young men and
women of this county and adjoining
counties have gone and made their
homes. Alberta rich in agriculture,
coal mines and other mining miner-
als, Saskatchewan, also rich in agri-
culture and ektensive lumbering in
the northern section, also thousands
of acres yet untilled. Manitoba,
strong in agriculture and other min-
ing minerals. True, in later years,
many parts have had their setbacks
by drought, grasshoppers and other
pests but they are again corning
back to be as in former years, the
great hat nion.
Then the beautiful of chain this lofrndlakes
which stretch two thousand miles
across the face of this Dominion on
which sail beautiful pleasure yachts,
passenger steamers carrying people
to ports along this country lake,
freighters carrying heavy cargoes of
coal, lumber, iron ore, grain and.
other cargoes for the use of the citi-
zens of this country also, for export
to other countries. Along the shores
of these lakes is the fishing industry
from which large revenues in licen-
ces are derived yearly by the many
governments. Also, along their
shores a chain of elevators for the
housing and storing of grain from
where it can be shipped by rail across
the country to many flour mills
where it is ground up and manufact-
ured ready for consumption by the
citizens of this country. Surely we
have abundant privileges. Now turn-
ing away to the rich northern On-
tario where we read there are thbu-
sands of acres of thick forest timber
of all kinds and quality, Manufact-
ured by the great saw mills, plaining
mills, shingle and other mills, there
is an abundant supply for shipment
across this country to the lumber
Yards and the builders for use in the
great building trade of this Doff -an-
ion. Also, in the north the great pulp-
wood timber limits filling the great
demands of the paper mills, also for
export to other countries, also
abundant resources, Coming down
further into the great mining dis-
trict stretching across the province
in the north, also in other provinces
where today hundreds of mines are
now producing gold, silver, nickel,
copper, zinc and other minerals. In
1938 before the war it was estimated
one hundred and sixtyfive million
dollars in gold was taken from the
bowels of the earth in. this Dominion.
In 1939 the estimate ran close to
two hundred million in gold, in 1940
in Ontario alone' one hundred and
twenty two millions in gold was
taken from the earth, not saying
anything in these years of the silver,
nickel, copper, zine and ithe minerals
taken from the earth, from coal
mines, gas wells and other commodi-
ties not already mentioned. Nearly
three hundred million was taken
from the earth in 1940 in this Do-
minion, There is nearby Sudbury in
action today. The great Frood nickel
minewhich employs three thousand
men alone, one of the greatest nickel
mines in the world today and it is
estimated over eighty per cent of the
nickel of the world is produced in
this Dominion. Also abounding in
riches and it is also estimated the
wining industry has just got nicely
started. Coming down to this grand
old province of Ontario, the banner
part of this Dominion with grand
agricultural lends, fruit growing or-
chards, highways and road systems,
railroad and bus line systems, public
and high schools and higher colleges
of education, musical aceadenties for
training in music, manufacturing
centres, making all the machinery,
musical and other instruments, furn-
iture, clothing articles and utensils
for use by the citizens of this
country, also our great hydro electric
system producing light, heat and
power for the consumers of our land.
A fine chain of hospitals for the care
of the sick and afflicted where need-
ed and last but not least our churches
on every hand where every roan wo-
men and child can worship their God
without fear of being dismayed,
truly, also abundant blessings. There
are other grand provinces not al-
ready mentioned also rich in agricul-
ture, fruit ,`rowing, manufacturing,
mining and minerals, stock raising,
fisheries, lumbering, vegetable grow-
ing and many other valuable assets
to this great country. Surely we
ought to be thankful to Almighty
God for the priviledge of living in
this great peaceful Dominion sur-
rounded with blessings, privileges,
resources and the richness of this
country joined with the great British
Empire, who today with the aid of
the Loyal Dominions, United States
of America, Russia. China and other
allies are fighting for democracy
and the freedom of the world. Surely
every loyal Canadian, British subject
should be glad to sing "God Save
Qur Gracious King" Proud to be a
Canadian.

Bees Killed by Late Spraying
The loss of 45 colonies of bees by
Mr. Garnet Farrier recently, was a
serious • loss indeed, The bees have
been housed on the Amos Cornelius
farm for some years. It is beleved
that the bees were poisoned by some
one in the community spraying their
orchard or orchards while they were
in bloom during the last two weeks in
May. The bees were working as usual
at that time and then they failed to
return, All that is left is the brood of
young bees which of course could not
leave the hives, Spraying of orchards
should be done prior to the blossom
period so that the bees will not be
poisoned, also so that the bees may
carry on the work of pollination.
Late spraying is not only detrimental
to the bees but will affect the apple
crop also.-Wingbam Advance -Times
Found Nest of Foxes
During the past few weeks Mr.
Duncan M. Davidson, of Newton, has
been finding several of his flock of
laying hens lying dead In the pasture
$ends, He -was unable tc find auy
trace of the marauder until recently
when a member of the family not-
iced a large 'red fox appear from the
adjoining woods rush in amens the
flock and carry off one of the choic-
est. Calling on the aid of a Couple of
the neighbours they proceeded to the
woods to investigate and to their
amazement they found in a hollow
tree a nest of eight well grown
foxes. They were able to secure
seven, although no trace of the older
ones could be found.' However, the
flock has not been molested since.
