Zurich Herald, 1939-02-23, Page 2Plans for the re -modelling of the Chesterville, Ont., fire hall, un- der direction of a special commit- tee of the Village Council, include a meeting place for the local band and the Boy Scouts. * * * A St. John Ambulance Associa- tion first-aid brigade of six divi- sions is being organized at Saint John, N.B., around a nucleus of Boner Scouts and other older Scouts. It is planned to develop and maintain four comprete stretcher teams for any emergency service. * * * Polish Boy Scouts of Montreal celebrated the anniversary of the founding of their Group in an en- thusiastic and largely attended gathering at Polish White Eagle Association Hall. The young Po- lish Canadians re -dedicated them- selves to the principles of the or- ganization as Canadian Scouts. * * Rescue and relief work by Scout leaders and Boy Scouts following the recent landslide catastrophe on the island of St. Lucia, B.W.I., was officially acknowledged by His Excellency the Governor. Wrote the Governor, who is also Chief Scout for the Windward Islands: "It is with considerable satisfac- tion that I learnt of, and saw for myself, the excellent work per- formed by the Boy Scouts of St. Lucia following the disaster," In addition to numbers of rescues made at serious risk, and recov- ery of the dead, the Scouts col- lected clothing and bedding, and gave valuable service at the hos- pitals and refugee camps. * * * A troop of Boy Scouts has been organized among the Basque (Spanish) boys at the Laleham Refugee Centre, Margate, Eng- land, and registered at Imperial Scout Headquarters as the 86th Margate (Laleham Basque) Troop. "These refugee children were so undisciplined that I was certain Margate would not put up with them much longer," it was ex- plained by Rover Leader Angell. "But Scouting has brought them together in the most marvellous way imaginable, and everyone is astounded at the result. The Centre, which only a few weeks ago was a flying mass of undiscip- line, is now run on the lines of the English school prefect sys- tem, and everyone is better for it." The Troop is running so suc- cessfully that every one of the Spanish boys has passed his Eng- lish Tenderfoot tests, including the Scout Law. It is said that the whole atmosphere of the Cen- tre, at which there are 80 child- ren, has been transformed by the introduction of Scouting ideals and ideas. Modern BY ROBERTA LEE 1 1.

What Science * Is Doing WEIGHT REDUCER A pituitary extract produced in McGiIl University research labora- tories has been shown to be suc- cessful in practical tests as a weight reducer. The extract does its work by speeding up metabol- speeding up metabolism and thus ism and thus burns up fat depos- ited in excess in body tissues. WHEAT ELECTRICALLY - SHOCKED The yield of wheat can be in- creased by electrical treatment of the seed, according to Professor Benedetto Riccioni, The profes- sor's experiments at his laboratory at Terni, Italy, are stated to have been verified by the Italian Min- istry of Agriculture and the Con- federation of Italian Farmers. He claims that the method is simple and inexpensive, applying ohm, the electrical unit, to increase the energy contained in the seed it- self.

ELECTRONS DO RHUMBA By causing electrons to do the rhumba, three young California scientists have produced a new type of radio which may give avia- tion a formidable "life saver," and perhaps revolutionize the whole field of ultra -short wave transmis- sion. Radio engineers have pronounc- ed it the most important advance in that science since Dr. Lee de rorest produced the vacuum tube in 1906. It generates extremely short waves both powerful and easily controlled—an impossibility with the usual ultra -short wave equip- ment. How Caro 1?

Commissioner McMillan is well known throughout Canada. He started his career in the Salvation Army in Toronto some 50 years ago. He was on the Canadian Territorial headquarters staff for some time and 1896 went to Aus- tralia as private secretary to the commissioner. Known To Canadians During the Great War he was in Canada again as chief secre- tary. Later he was transferred to the United States where he was in charge of the Chicago territory. .Another transfer took him to New York, the biggest Salvation Army area on this continent. Then he was made a commis- sioner for the Canadian territory, which includes Bermuda, Alaska, and Newfoundland. IsxNa No. 8—'39 Sheepskin Rugs Sheepskin rugs can be washed at home. Soak for an hour or two in a large vessel of warm water, with a small quantity of washing fluid, ammonia, etc. Press the rug into the water and stir about. When most of the dirt is extracted put into another warns -water bath with more ammonia, and press with a vacuum washer or a dory stick. -- Rinse the the rug in three or four clear warm waters, and pass through the wringer with a very loose tension.. Then shake vigor- ously before hanging up to dry in a good breeze. Shake continu- ally during the drying process. The lining must be washed separately. 1 Teacher turned away from the, blackboard, where she had, been writing.

DOU LE AUTOMATIC BOOKLET Fungus Ca ses Lumber Losses Seasoning Yards Must Be Kept Clear Of Old Decayed Wood And Other Sources Of Infec- tion. When an unslightly blue stain in sawn Iumber causes losses of thous- ands of dollars to Canadian lumber- men through lost sales, the forest products laboratories of the Domin- ion Minas and Resources Depart- ment tracked the nuisance down to a minute fungus. Wind-borne spores, investigators found, germinated in the summer months on the moist surface of the freshly -sawn lumber in the season- ing yards. The thready growths all worked deep into the lumber as it dried and produce the dark, tell-tale stain. Spores Borne On Wind The remedy proved fairly simple. The scientists found that seasoning yards must be kept clear of old", de- cayed wood, mill sweepings, woods and other sources of infection by the spores. As an additional precau- tion, dousing fresh sawn wood' in an inexpensive chemical solution has been recommended to prevent growth of the fungi until the }rood has been thoroughly dried out.
