"I think 'he could," They laughed, patted him on the back, and called him broadminded. Let me ask you a question, and I want you to answer me just as quick- ly as I answered you,'.' said the prea- cher. "Why do you want to go to heaven that way?" They were speechless. "Why don't you ask me another question?" suggested the preacher. "Why don't you ask me if a man can get to England without going on .a boat?>, "Well," they said, "we will ask you that. Now what is the answer?" "I see no reason why a man could not get to Englandwithout going on a ship, provided he was a good swim- mer, tied enough food between his shoulders to eat on the way, had _en- ough strength to buffet all the waves —if a shark did not get him. And suppose you did get to England with- out a ship, do you think you would get there much ahead. : of the man who goes by ship?"—Selected. RADIO RADIO AND NEWS PAPERS AS MEDIA - FOR ADVERTISING Radio fans are frequently .annoyed by the frequent intrusion of adver- tising matter into the entertainment features of a radio program. This has led to the belief that a great deal of advertising is being done in that way, and that advertising is being way, and that therefore advertis- ing by radio is likely to cut deeply into the advertising revenue of news- papers and magazines. With a view to finding out to what extent ad„yertising has been affected by radio the following figures have been obtained regarding the advertis- ing appropriations made in 1930 by five of the greatest advertisers in the United States. The first column of figures represents the 'amount ap- propriated for radio advertising and the second the amount for newspap- ers and magazine advertising. Advertiser Radio Newspapers Armour and Co. '$250,000 $ 541,000 General Electric 433,000 4,170,000 General Foods, `460,000 6,500,000 General Motors 332,000 ` 18,630,000 Quaker Oats 268,000 1,450,000 In other words, while $1,543,000 went to the radio, $31,291,000 went to the newspapers and magazines. Putting it another way, these big ad- vertisers, who know advertising from A to Z, considered newspaper and magazine advertising just thirty times more valuable than stuff sent over the radio. weeememieiemomm ■_I Develop the community spirit.

Reeve Arbogast of Ellice Township suggested that the Council request the government to. curtail paving operation on No, 23 highway between Mitchell and Listo- wel this year. More paving was to be done this year than last, he point- ed out, and he did not feel that the county could afford it. Naturally the representatives from the North ob- jected to such a move; particularly as it originated in the south where r they are well served by paved high- ways. They suggested a reduction in the county road expenditure as an al- ternative if the council' was anxious to keep expenditures to the milzintun. Criticism of the practice of keep- ing the King's highways ploughed in winter was also voiced. It was point- ed out that it was a costly project which benefitted only a small per- centage and was injurious to the roads. It was claimed that as a re- sult of the highways being cleaned, the farmer living an a township road was unable to go to town because the township road was blocked for traf- fic and he could not drive his sleigh over bare pavernent, The matter was referred to the legislative committee and the possibilities are that a reso- lution will be drafted, asking the Goveritmeiit to leave the snow On the highways during the winter . .er r,ri.,.:. l l tontlis. ere and There More than half the fresh water of the globe is contained in inland waters of Canada and twenty dif- ferent varieties -of food fish are obtained from them in abundance by commercial fishermen. Final figures of gold production for 1930 may find Canada in sec- ond place instead of the United States — following South Africa, according to estimates of the Di- rector of the United States Mint. Travelling health clinics oper- ated by the Alberta -Government in that province to visit remote dis- tricts and provide free medical service, went to .27 points last year including 306 school districts. The habit of, taking snuff is on the increase in Canada. In 1929 over 997,000 pounds were made, 'valued at $1,280,933, an increase of over 337,000 pounds arid more than $530,000 in value as compar- ed with 1919. Fish as candles? Certainly, some of them, sometimes. Oula- ehans, small oily fish taken in British Columbia waters, are also known, as "Candlefish," because the Indians used to dry them and use them as candles. Forty-one anglers who fished , the 4% miles of open water re- served for regulated public fish- ing on the famous Ilestigouche River in New Brunswick during the 1930 season caught 312 salmon weighing 5,257 pounds.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE There are plenty of you think the farmer is "fleeced" going and coming and evidence to substantiate that the- ory is found in the following extract taken from the Bracebridge Gazette. For its accuracy we will not vouch. Anyone attempting to check all the details would probably turn "red" or just plain mad. Anyway, here is the story: "A short titre ago a farmer took a calfs hide to the store where I am employed. After looking up the mar- ket on hides I found the best price I could offer him was four cents per pound. The hide weighed 12i lbs. which at four cents equal 51 cents, and in exchange he took one pair of shoe -laces at 20 cents, one package puffed wheat at 16 cents and one package health bran at 15,cents. Af- ter the man had left the store 1 be- gan to compare values of these ar- ticles. The laces were the sort used for long boots and were cut from common every -day calf skin. On weighing these I found that there were 24 pairs to the pound. As lea- ther gains five per cent. in tanning, the 121- pound hide -would weigh 16 pounds when finished and would be worth $78.60 when cut into laces, So if the farmer wished to buy his same calf hide, tanned and cut into laces, he would need to bring in 80 calf hides at 50c, plus 60 sheep skins at 40c, plus 20 lamb skins at 25c, plus 80 pounds of wool at 8; and to make up the balance would have 'to hand over $1,40 in cash, --The package .of puffed wheat was marked "4 oz. net" or 4c per oz., or 64c per pound, or $38,40 per bushel. Now, if the same farmer wished to take home a bush- el of wheat converted into puffed wheat (which is common ordinary ev- ery -day wheat put through a vacuum which does not add one vitamin or make it one particle richer in food value) he would need to bring in 50 bushels of wheat at 70c, plus 20 bush- els of barley at 35; and would only have to pay $1.40 iii cash. The pack- age of bran was'marked "14 oz. net,' or aboutlc 16c to per oz. , Per pound or $16 per cwt. Now, if this salve far- mer wished to take a bag of common every -day bran, put up in card -board boxes, -he would need to bring in .12 dozen eggs at 30; plus 15 pounds of butter at 30; plus five bags of po- tatoes at $1, and would only be re- naiired to 'borrow 50c Apra his wife to pay the -balance T1ie farmer has no idea how valuable bis products are. until they ane powdered and painted and returned to him 'in the latest dress and coat.,". —the `slice of toast and the glass of: water. Instead the modern miss is.`' slimming on whole wheat—usually in prepared bisucit form—with milk and'.• fruit added. The enquiries which were made of - restaurant owners by the Canadian Shredded Wheat Company included , the following question. "Are whole wheat foods of all types more popu- lar with lady customers than five years ago?" The reply was an al- most unanimous "YES" with the rid- er that while breakfast is still the big cereal eating meal, whole wheaten it- - ems are becoming increasingly popu- lar at other meals, particularly tea. Asked for reasons for this change many replied that waitresses reported'. to them that customers had' decided' that whole wheat, fruit and milk was a slimming yet nourishing diet. It is' thought by the Canadian Shredded Wheat Company that the girlies new diet has been inspired: partly by advertising but more cer- tainly by continued medical advice through various channels emphasiz- ing the complete food value of such a diet without increasing bodily - weight.
