COLORED - LIGHTS
ON MAIN STREET
We have heard a great deal of fay
orable comment regarding the color
ed lights that decorated aur Mai
Street during the Christmas season
The Utilities Commission are . to b
commended on stringing these lights
as they surely added greatly to the
appearance of our town.
At the Mayor and Reeve's banquet
held a short time ago, ex -Mayor Wil-
lis commented on the splendid ap-
pearance of the Main Street during
the Christmas. holiday season due to
these lights. He suggested that ' it
would be a good.idea to have our
town so lighted for the greater Part
of the year.
We heartily concur with . his sug-
gestion and believe some means "'o
defraying the'expenses so cause
should be evolved so that our Mai
Street could present a gala appear
ance during the summer months and
the Christmas season at least.

BIG DAY JULY FIRST
At the public meeting called by
Mayor Hanna'on Friday night after
much discussion it was left with a
committee . to decide on some sort of
celebration for Wingbain this year.
It was decided by' this committee
to hold a Big Day July lst, Domin-
ion Day. The success attained in this
celebration will depend a great deal
on the co-operation of the people who
are requested to take part in some
form or other.
For years Dominion Day here was
a great day, so swing in behind this
event and put it over with a bang.'

What they meanis that some other

then, the inventor has to give every-
body the right to make his invention

means to make public. Government

Must Have Ethical Training for Our
Youth, Says H. H. Stevens.
Ottawa—The serious importance to
Canada of assuringhigh ethical stan-
dards in the training of our future
citizens was referred to by the Hon:
H. H. Stevens in an interview with
reference to announced plans for the
expansion of the 13oy Scout Move-
ment.
That Canadian youth never before.
has played so important a role in
shaping the Dominion's destinies, and
at the same time never have present-
ed so difficult a social and economic
problem, was the declaration of the
former Minister of Trade and Com-
merce and first chairman of the Price
Spreads Commission.
Said Mr. Stevens: "Never in the
history of this country has youth
been more prominent in its effect up
an the future of the country.
On the one hand trained and in-
formed young men and women are
taking a larger part in the major act-
ivities of the country.
On the other hand one is forced to
admit that the most serious social and
economic probiein we have today is
how we are to care, for, in useful oc-
cupation, the thousands of youths that
are leaving our educational institu.
tions year by year.
The Boy Scout movement has been
'jne of the greatest factors in the 'de-
velopment of character in youth; and
character, after all, is the most essen-
tial element in; the upbuilding of a
true citizen.
No greater contributioncould at
this time be made to the country's
welfare than just such contribution
as is being made day by day by the,
Boy Streit movement."

No Indian "Caste" for Scouts
The All -India contingent at the
Australian Scout Jamboree included
boys from the North-West Frontier
Province, the United Provinces,
Dhenkand and Assam. Although of
many different religions, the boys ate
together and shared the sante meals.
Before the boys became Scouts `Caste'
would have made this impossible.

News and Information
For The Busy Farmer'
The anima convention of the Fruit
Growers' Association of Ontario will
be held at the Royal Connaught Ho-
tel, Hamilton, February 13th,' 14th
and 15th.
Taking Stock
The Farmer who takes stock now
and plans for farming operations dur-
ing
the coming crop; season will be
able toorder his fertilizers, spraying
material, insecticides, ,etc., in .good
time. He will be able to eliminate un-
prafitabe cows, hens and other ani-
mals, and otherwise cut the costs of
production"
Cost of Producing. Mange's
The production of an acre of man
gels requires approximately fifteen
days of manual labor. In the past this
item of expense has confined' the
growing of this crop to instances
where labour is plentiful. This season
due to cheap labor and the high price
of? hay,` mangels have proved to 'be
a profitable crop. At the Central Ex-
perimental Farm, Ottawa, the Field
Husbandry Division obtained a yield
of 26.15 tons per acre this year at a
cost of $47.68 per acre or $1.82 per
ton. With hay valued at $12.00 per
ton, and assuming that 600 pounds
of mangels are equal in feeding value
to 100 pounds of hay, mangels are
worth $2, per ton.
A Popular Garden Insecticide
An insecticide which is gradually
coming into popularity with garden-
ers
ardeners and vegetable growers is arsenate
of lime, or calcium arsenate, a fine,
soft-flakey, white powder. Compared
with arsenate of lead, says Alan G.
Dunstan, • of , the Entomological
Branch in the Dominion Department
of Agriculture bulletin on vegetable
insects and their control, arsenate of
lime has the advantage of being
cheaper,of having a higher metallic
arsenic content, and of killing insects
mare rapidly" On the other hand, it
is more likely to burn the foliage, has
to be used more carefully, and does
not adhere so well to • the plants.
When arsenate of lime is used alone
asa spray, it is customary to add
suf i ctent hydrated line to counteract
any possibility of burning. One pound
of arsenate of lime is equivalent to
one and cine -half pounds of arsenate.
of lead in killinglti .
va e As a spray,.
arsenate of lime should be used at
the rate of three quarters of a pound
to 40 gallons of water, to which has
been added two pounds of hydrated
lime, In dusting- with this material,
dilate it with 10 parts of hydrated
lime. Arsenate of lime contains 26-28
per cent. of metallic arsenic,

Horticultural Hints
The position for plants during the
winter is in windows with a southern
or eastern exposure.. Plants need all
the light they can get in Winter, es-
pecially those expected to bloom.
Avoid extremes` of temperature, but
bear in mind they require a supply of
fresh air.
Cold draughts must be avoided if
house plants are near the windows.
Pull down the blinds at night or re-
move tender plants to prdtect them
from the chilled 'glass.
The dry air in the home is injuri-
ous to plants, but humidity may be
added by sprinkling them with wat-
er daily.
Avoid keeping plants in a soaked
condition, Only water when actually
needed. All soft -wooded plants with a
large leaf surface need more water
than hard -wooded plants and one in
luxuriant growth needs more than one
which is sicky or cut back.
The Jerusalem Cherry must . be
kept moist and free from coal and
domestic gas. The slightest trace of
gas .will cause both leaves and fruit
to drop.Poinsettas should be watered
every day and thrive; best in a tem-
perature of 60 to 70 degrees. These
two winter plants must not be per-
mitted to become dry,
MAKING CARROTS
INTERESTING
By Barbara B. Brooks
Those who know about food values,
sing the praises of carrots so highly
and so often, that it is human nature
to get rather tired of hearing about
them. Worse still, some folks are just
a little perverse about eating things
that are good for them. Mothers and
dietitians who are concerned with the
welfare of their charges, are there-
fore, faced with the,problem of glo-
rifying such wholesome, year-round,
and moderately priced foods as. car-
rots" Little girls are urged to eat them
to make their hair curly. Boys are
told that great ball players eat car-
rots, Dad and the older folks are
tempted by recipes designed either to
enhance or to conceal the carrots,
For the ttiquiring members of the
family, there are interesting facts
about food values. The deep yellow
color is significant as the pigment as-
sociated with carotene, the substance
from which the body makes vitamin.
A. Carotene was so named because it
was found in largo amounts in car-
rots.. Vitamins B and G are present
in good amounts; likewise, Vitamin C.
"Young carrots are richer in vtamitt C
than older r Ones; and, of Course, raw
carrots supply inore of this. vitamin
than cooked ones because it is des-
hived
e -troyed by heat,
Carrots, like` root vegetables in gen.
oral, supply starch for energy and
minerals for building bone, teeth and.
blood. It is interesting to compare
the minerals of carrots with those of
milk,' which is one of the best sources
of caleiu;ti and phosphorus, The pro-
portion of calcium to phosphortts is
approximately the same for both
foods. In one hundred calories of car-
rots (about one-half pound) there is
about two-thirds as much calcium and
phosphorus as in one hundred calories
of milk (about five-eighths cup).
There is about three times as much
iron in .ca'rrots as in milk.
The carrot itself, even apart from
its food value, needs nb apologies. It
is a thing of beauty with its yellow
orange body and feathery green top,
It is crisp when raw and firm but
mealy' when cooked. Its flavor is
characteristic but so delicate that it
combines well with many other foods.
Its very nature suggestsniettu pots-
ibilities- of all kinds,
Serve carrots raw in strips for a
relish; chopped, grated or ground for
salads. Try grated raw carrots
sprinkled in soup or mixed with
french dressing, or mayonnaise for
vegetable or fish salads, and for sand-
wich fillin•.
Diced, cgooked carrots give color.
and new flavor to mashedpotatoes
or to baked potatoes on the half shell,
where the potatoes are scooped .out,
mashed, seasoned and put back into
the 'shells.'
For luncheon or supper, scalloped
carrots orsliced cooked carrots .top
ped with poached eggs, are `.good.-
Medium ar large carrots baked with
the skins on, or boiled andriced may
be servedin place of potatoes occas-
ionally in the dinner menu. ' A caste
erole of carrots and apples is ap'prop-
riate' with sausage or pork of any
kind.
