Canadian Ex -Servicemen Fall In As Patriotic Frontiersmen
efeeeeeeei
Large : numbers of Canadian leen ready to serve in the present war who for various reasons or another
'aro tibt eligible for admission into the Active Service IF orces are being recruited for service in the Legion of
Frontiersmen, an organization granted a Dominion charter in 1934, whose duties involve reinforcing the civil
authorities, in time of national emergency. A Frontiersman, to be fitted for service, must be given training
in police laws, duties; .fire protection and extinction, antiJair raid precautionary service, first aid, military •
chill etc., so that he stands within the community as a grained reserve, ready to reinforce the authorities in
case of necessity. The Dominion Headquarters are at Edmonton, and the present Divisional Commandant is
Lieut. -Col. Louis Scott, D.C.M. The various provinces are governed by a Provincial Commandant, the Head-
quarters for Ontario' being located at Toronto, under the present supervision of Major G. R. N. Collins, Senior
Officer within the Province. (P.O. Box 4, Station "A" Toronto). Squadrons of the Legion exist in every Pro-
vince and at most of the large centres. It is hoped to organize units in smaller centres.

Clerk—"What size, please?"
Shepherd—"I don't know."
Clerk—"We'll try a six and a

Shepherd -"Six and a half be

Q. How can I test the ago of an
egg?
A. Place the egg in a deeppan
full of cold water.. An egg that
lies on its side is strictly fresh; if
it stands at an angle, it is three
or four days old; if it stands on
end, it is over ten days old; an egg
that floats on the top is seldom fit
for use.

What Science
is
* Doing 3
OBJECTS MADE INVISIBLE
The Herald - Journal, (Spartan-
burg, N.C.), said in a copyrighted
story that a local chemist has an,
nouu.ced discovery of a substance
which, wheii applied like paint, ren-
ders material objects invisible at a
distance beyond 100 feet.
The newspaper quoted the chem-
ist, Max Gardner, as saying the
substance had been demonstrated
on an airplane which was flown
above a field. No part of the plane
could he seen after it reached an
altitude of 100 feet, Gardner said.
The basic ingredient of the paint is
ordinary graphite.
OXYGEN APPLIED TO JOINTS
"Ballooning" of infected and
broken bone joints with oxygen to
bring about quick and effective
healing is reported.
The joints actually are blown up
like a toy balloon, after enough
fluid has been withdrawn to create•
an air space.
The treatment was designed to
separate the parts of the bone and
tissue which sometimes adhere and
cause -a stiff joint, and also to aid
healing by putting oxygen in direct
contact with the bone as it grows
back together. This stimulates the
repairing process.
TRANSFUSIONS FOR BURNS
Discovery of a new and more •
successful treatment for burns -
usiug repeated blood transfusions
— is alulounced 3n the Journal of
the American Medical Association.
The treatment promises to cause
a minor revolution in medicine for

PREVENTATIVE FOR SILICOSIS
Electrons have revealed a clue
to the way to present silicosis, a
disease in which the tissues of the
lungs are disintegrated by inhala-
tion of air in whioh silica dust is
suspended. • Silica la a common
rock -forming material. It was ob-
served in experiments on rabbits
that if they breathed air in which
there was a moderate concentra-
tion of silica dust tb,ey contraeted
the disease, but if .the air contain•
ed same• aluminum powder, about
1 per cent, of the. weight of the
silica, the animals did not contract
the disease.

Hasn't ,pride been called st
deadly disease, impossible to euro?
.2. Is it untactful to give money
to a friend as a Christmas gift,
when dile knows that she needs
it?
3. When passing your plate for
a helping of some dish, what
.should you do"with your silver?
• 4. Is it necessary for a man
to rise when being introduced to
another man, and also chaise
'hands?
' 5. What is the meaning of a
table d'liote meal?
6, When a bride has received a
gift from five members of the of-
fice force, how should she ack-
nowledge it?
Answers
1. It , may be called a disease,
but it is not deadly. The proverb
says, "If pride were a deadly dis-
ease, how many would now be in
their graves." According to La
Rochefoucauld, "Pride is equal in
ail hien; the only difference is
the meads and manner of dis-
playing it." 2. Yes. This would be
very'" untactful, and likely to be
resented. 3. Always leave the sil-
ver on the plate. 4, Yes, to both
questions, unless, of course, they
are so far apart that it would be
awkward to shake hands. 5. A
meal that is served at a fixed
price, instead of so much for each
dish. 6. Write a personal note to
each one.

QUALITY MUST REMAIN
Don't repeate the mistake made
during the. World War of sacri-
ficing quality for quantity in ag-
ricultural products, farmers were
advised in an address at Sarnia,
Ont., by W. K. Riddell, agricul-
tural representative for Middlesex
County.
Canada's reputation for certain
types of quality goods was lost
during the World War through the
neglect of farmers to maintain the
standard of quality in the haste to
produce in huge quantities, noted
Mr. Riddell
During the present conflict, the
speaker advised, "produce in the
largest quantities those things that
are needed most, but maintain the
quality of the products."

WINTER SHORT COURSES
Wednesday, December 27th, saw
many hundreds of wide awake
young farmers hastening to the
city of Guelph to register at the
0. A. C. for one or other of' the
timely and practical short cours-
es commencing the following
morning. Running concurrently,
there are five ooulrses of two
weeks duration, on the following
lines: Animal Husbandry, Farm
Mechanics, Horticulture, B e e -
keeping, and Co-operation. Begin-
ning on the same day there is a
four weeks course in Poultry Hus-
bandry. In similar courses last
winter there were more than 800
men and women registered. Most
of then were young men, but
there were a number of women
in the Horticulture, Poultry, and
• Beekeeping courses. These cours-
es are open to all residents of On-
tario.
Ontario Rains
Help Farmers
Rain that was fairly general all
throughout Ontario the first week
in December, gave farmers relief
from a mouth-longn drought which
left wells and creeks low, and in
extreme cases dry. Althugh the
rain was fairly substantial — Just
under half an inch — further preci-
pitation will be needed if an acute
water shortage is to be averted.
Wells and creeks were lowest in
central and southwest Ontario. The
drought left the land hard and far-
mers, taking advantage of the late
fall weather to do their plowing,
found the going difficult.
There were some instances of
fall wheat suffering from lack of
rain, but conditions generally as
reported to the Ontario Department
of Agriculture were good with a
satisfactory top on the crop. Most
reports said the growth so far was
good and would be well able to
stand normal winter weather.
