HEADLINES AGAIN: After six
Weks of keeping people in darkest
ignorance, the newspapers are
flasb.ing on us the sadden light of
)11uroPean. events, For a month and
a,
halt we were scarcely let know
that seal a person as Adolt Hitler
existed, so chucked were the pages
of Canadian dailies and weeklies
with news stories of the royal tour,
nanititudinous pictures Of Their
Majesties. Made us uneasy not to
hear the latest he was up to. But
now . the big streamer headlines
are back on the front pages, and
it's all blood, thunder and crisis
once. more. 'Sgreat to •be in the
know again. Much more comfort-
able.
GAS TAX STRIKE: Although the
May returns haven't been figured
up yet, it is ex-pected that gasoline
tax revenues in Ontario will show
a falling -off from 1938 for the sec-
ond month since the eight -cent tax
went into effect. In April they
dropped' $45,900. Provincial offic-
iaSs, believe, however, that it was.
only a temporary decrease, and.
the Government has no Intention
of rescinding the Increase it• is
learned.
IMPREGNABLE ROCK: When.pne

things of this world, the Rock pi
Gibraltar is among those that come

Fascist boldness in Burbpe increas-
es, the Rock becomes daily less

been trained on it from across the
Straits for several years now. It's
even come to the point that one• of

fs demanding transfer of the Rock
from Britain to Spain. Says'11 Tele-
grafo: "In Spain the question of
Gibraltar is essential for the life
and independence of the nation."
WHATs- NO' TITLES?: In the
King's Birthday Honors List this
year the name of no Canadian is
included (except Sir Harry Oakes',
of course,s but he has long since
fled to the Bahamas). None includ-

;THE WEEK'S QUESTION: Why
:is the Polish. Corridor (which. Ger-
many wants surrendered to her)
essential to the national life of
Poland? Answer: The Corridor is
none other thanthe province of
Pomorze which belonged to the an-
cient kingdom of Poland. The
people of the Corridor have always
been: predominantly Polish. Some
of Poland's most important indus-
trial areas axe located there. The
Corridor Is the lifeline passageway
through which the nation's econ-
omic products are transported to
the ocean and the outside world.
Rural Health:
Its Conservation
County Health Units Make
Valuable Contribution—One
of Canada's .Most Important
Problems
Attention is drawn to the value
of! the county health units by an-
nouncement of the awards In the
Canadian Rural Health Conserva-
tion Contest for 1938. Financed by
tilt's W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the
tCanadian Public Health Assoc -
wrest is conducted in Canada by
h
latIon in co-operation with the Ari -
era polio Realtb, Association,
For the second time the major
aWard In Canada has been won by
this St. Jeaniberville-Laprairie-Na-
pierville County Health I.Tnit, the
headquarters of which are at St.
Jean, Que., and the medical officer,
Th. I. A. Lapierre, D.P.II.
Xudging in the contest is made
by a carefully selected group of
health experts, the communities
being appraised on .the measures it
takes: (1) to provide and safeguard
its water supply; (2) to furnish
adiequate and safe sewerage dis-
posal; (3) to reduce infant and
maternal deatlis; •(4) to combat
tuberculosis a.nd syphilis; (5) to
protect its citizens against other
communicable diseases; (6) to in-
sure healthy children; (7) to pro-
tect and safeguard its milk anti
other foods; (8) to .promote effec-
dye co-operatiOn with its physicians
and dentists in furnishing neces-
sary services to all those who need
there; (9) to enlarge and improve
its; lay -understanding of ways and
means of preventing sickness and
deatb. and ot maintaining good
health.
Rural health conservation is one
of the most important problems in
callada, and it is to be hoped that
.the example. set - by the variout
county health units in the Province
of Quebec will stimulate action in
many other parts of Canada.

- BASS POSTER
Angler Ernest Grand of Tor-.
onto is credited with the idea for
the bass poster picturing the legal
minimum size, which the Ontario
Department of Game and Fisher-
ies is posting throughout the bass
resorts of Ontario this year.
Twenty-five thousand were print-
ed at a cost of $600 at the recom-
mendation of that active organi-
zation, the Ontario Federation of
Anglers, we are reliably informed.
WE'RE ALL FOR IT
And speaking of the Ontario
Federation of Anglers recalls to
mind their current progress report
covering the 1.038-39 season of
their popular and widespread con-
servation activities. We quote
from this report what we think will
be interesting information for ev-
ery Conservation-minda citizen
of Ontario:
"If politicians, newspaper crit-
ics, non-member clubs; conversa-
tionalists rather than conserv,ation-
alists, or other individuals or
groups of men, feel that they can
do more with a $1,000 grant of
public money, in a constructive,
consistent way, on behalf of con-
servation and restoration of wild
life. in Ontario, the Federation
would like to hear from them, and
the letter will be published in our
next bulletin. .
"It is our opinion that over
period of yeas our affiliated clubs,
through the Federation, have giv-
en the Department of Game and
..Fisheries more constructive help
with their many problems than any
other voluntary agency. We have
had the satisfaction of. seeing
many of our recommendations ac-
cepted and .carried out.

these circumstances, even more
fully than at present'? Next year,
we propose asking the government
for $3,000, justified on.. the basis
what we have started and will
accomplish in this present year
1939. •
"Our experience with .the
pres-
eijt Departments. of Game and
Fisheries has :been that they do,

ive criticism."

Fine Prospects
There's Going To 14.,A Bump-
er Crop In Some. Districts
This Year—Outlook Bright
in Others
Bright prospects for the fruit
crop in Ontario are forecast in the
first fruit and vegetable crop re-
port of the season issued by the
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture.
Weather conditions have been
favorable for growth of fruit in
Western Ontario and frost damage
has been negligible. Nearly all var-
ieties of fruit trees, plants and
vines wintered well and showed
good to heavy blossom, with the
exception of Spy apples in some
areas.
They've Weathered Wel;
Spies showed average to good in
Norfolk County and the Georgian
Bay district, but light elsewhere.
Trees generally wintered well and
rodent injury to young trees was
the only. damage reported.
Cherries, peaches, pears and
plums all showed a heavy yield
to come.
Grape vines are in it healthier
and hardier condition than for
some seasons past. :Strawberry
plantations are in excellent condi-
tion. Raspberry apreage was re-
duced slightly this year.
The Province of Sind, in India,
will build 79 new roads before
1941.

CANADA'S SHAME
If there is any one thing which
the Federal and Provincial Gov-
ernments have failed in during re-
cent years, it has been in the
handling of the single unemployed
• men. The United States has its
CCC camps, and South Africa has
formed semi -military regiments
where yoaths .are given a training.
However, every effort in Canada
seems to have failed to touch the
problems as a whole. — London

Newcomers to Burgessville Dis-
trict, Unused to Canadian
Methods, Are Helped By Old-
-
International friendship was evi-
denced when 15' neighbors of John
Eozsejovsky and Andrew Stentim-
rey, Holbrook, near Burgessville,
Ont:, helped- the two "new Can-
adians",with spring seeding.
The two men are of Hungarian
birth, but resided In Slovakia, until
the fear of what might happen in
the future caused them to move
to Canada, 111 September, 1938, with
their wives and. Stentimrey's fam-
ily.
'Unfamiliar with Canadian ways
of farming they, were far behind
with. seeding Oats spring, and had
reached the end of their rope in
more ways than one.
Paid Back After Harvest
One neighbor loaned them suffi-
cient sed grain, to be paid back ,
after harvest, and one day seven
tractors and eight teams of horses
were pulling plows, harrows, etc.,
and finally seed drills over 23 acres
of land.

and decent. (2) Delighted and.
devilish. (3) Delinquent and dis-
gusting. (4) Dizzy and delirious.
(5) Dazed and dejected. (6) Dead

Expediti*n To
,Indian Village
The first archeological expedi-
tion ever sent out by the Univer-
sity of Weston Ontario has pitch-
ed camp at an old Indian village
site, Clearville, near Morpeth, to
spend six weeks investigating the
historical evidence found there.
Under the leadership of Wilfrid
Jury, who with his father, A. 1.1.3
Jury, is honorary curator of the
Indian Museum at the University.,
the party is conducting an archeo-
logical survey of the ancient camp
site.
The Clearville site is on the
farm of John Cochrane, of Duart,
and Mr. Cochrane gave permission
to the archeologists to . conduct
their survey. They are camping
on the in'�t during the excavation,
:which must be done very careful-
ly, in order that- no bit of evid-
ence; no matter how.small, may be
dainaged.* ,
