HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1941-08-21, Page 7EAST AND WEST IN GOLF MATCH Jules Huot, Quebec City, and Stanley Horne, Montreal, are two of eastern Canada's outstanding pros, but western opponents were rough with them in east -west exhibitions for war charities. The long and plentifully -trapped Banff Springs Hotel course defied their best efforts to bust par and Huot went one over perfect figures, 72, while Horne was 73. Jack Cuthbert, Calgary's veteran pro, was out in 84 and was even par up to the 17th. Cuthbert and Huot combined to beat Horne and Wilder H. Ripley, outstanding Calgary amateur, 4 and 8 in the Banff exhibition. In above group, photographed at Banff Springs golf course are, left to right: Cuthbert, Ripley, Huot and Horne. ll a Mrs. Woop had died, and Dad wanted to put up some sort of memorial to her. A stained-glass window in the local church being suggested, Dad agreed, and left ail arrangements in the hands of the minister. At length the window arrived, and was fitted into position. Dad, in an unusually excited frame of mind, set out to view it. The minister escorted the old chap into the church and, with a flourish, indicated the window, which depicted an angel. "How do you like it?" said he. Dad gazed at it thoughtfully. "No good," be grunted. "Why, what's your objection?" "It ain't a bit like the old woman." — 0— Englishman: Do you know that the U.S.A. is sending thousands of tons of muni- tions to Germany? American: That can't be. Englishman: It's true — but they're getting the R.A.F. to deliver them. — o— Mother wanted to spend Sat- urday in town, and father, an ac- countant, reluctantly agreed to give up his golf and spend the afternoon with the children. On the return of mother, the father handed her the following report of the afternoon:— "Dried tears -9 times. Tied shoes -18 times. Toy balloons purchased -3 per child. Aver- age life of a balloon -13 seconds. Cautioned children not to cross street -21 times. Children cros- sed street -21 times.

"Yes, sir," replied a pri- vate, "he's underneath." A. sugar -planter in Hawaii took a friend from the States to the edge of a volcano. "That crater is 70,004 years old," he explained. "How do you get the exact age?" asked the newcomer. "I can understand the 70,000, but how do you calculate the four?" "Well, I've been here in the islands for four years, and the crater was 70,000 years old when I arrived." —0— "Your trousers look very creased this morning." "Yes, I left them lying on the floor all night." "Why didn't you hang them up?" "Because I was in 'em." Canadian National Railways Revenues The gross earnings for the all- inclusive Canadian National RaiI- ways for the ten-day period July 31, 1941 were $8,849,262 as com- pared with $7,267,327 for the same period of 1940, an increase of $1,581,935 or 21.8%. Russian Railway Double Tracked One Russian life -line that has been brought up to date is the Trans-Siberian Railway, the great east -to -west artery. It has double tracks in excellent condition the whole way to Vladivostok, with large sidings in many places. It can carry vast quantities of ma- terials from the coal and indus- trial areas in the Urals right up to Moscow and beyond. The rail- way from Baku and the Ukrain- ian wheat belt is also first-rate. Business As Usual German firms in. Shanghai, lost $60,000,000 in war mater- ials en route through Russia to Germany, when the Russo -Ger- man war broke out. On a quest for new customers, it was said, one German concern has sold 30,000 pairs of military boots, ordered by the Nazis, to Russia.

Italians Go T . England Italiana From African Pris- on Camps Sailed From Can- ada to Work on English Farms One thousand Italian prisoners and seven officers sailed for .Bri- tain in the convoy which topic the Canadian 3i•d Division across the Atlantic. They came originally from Afri- can prison camps where they vol- unteered to go to England to work on farms. Their own medical of- ficers accompanied them. "Some are Just youngsters out of school," British Tommies who guarded them said. "They say they had only a month and a half of training before being sent to Libya to oppose our desert fighters." "They're no trouble to guard. In fact you'd have a job to persuade some of them to leave. They're better off now than they've been for a long time, and as happy as any exile can be." While at sea the seven officers were permitted the liberty of the ship. One of them, according to the British officer commanding troops, declared he would never go to war far Mussolini again un- der ahy circumstances. ' �� e BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I launder quilts? A. Make a generous lather with pure soap and a little wash- ing soda and ammonia in enough moderately hot water to cover the. quilt, and soak the quilt for half an hour. Press the dirt out with a wooden potato masher or a oroquet mallet, Do not rub or wring. Rinse in the same man- ner. Hang on the liue to drip, and shake often. When partly day, beat lightly with a rattan car- pet beater to lighten the filling. Repeat several times. Q. How can I raise the nap of a rug that has become flatten- ed from heavy articles of furni- ture? A. Dampen a chamois, fold it several times, and place It over the mark. After the chamois has been there for several hours, the mark will have disappeared, Q. How can I rid my house of spiders? A. Saturate some cotton or cloth with pennyroyal and place it in the infested places to rid the house of spiders. Q. How can I make a good sub- stitute for maple syrup? A. If the peelings of pears, or peaches, are covered with water, sweetened to taste, and boiled un- til about the oonsistency of syrup, it will make an excellent substi- tute far maple syrup, and is not expensive. Q. How can I cause rag rugs and carpets to keep in better con- dition? A. After the rag rugs and car- pets have been washed, they should be dipped into a heavy starch. The rug will remain clean much longer and keep in better position on the floor. Change of Diet For Jasper Beaver Game wardens are following with much interest the work of the various Beaver colonies in Jasper National Park. In many established localities these busy animals have depleted their sup- ply of natural food of poplar. Strangely, the animals have turn- ed to the spruce trees and are making quite a cleanup. In the Jaques Lake area they have made heavy inroads into the spruce groves. Around the shore of Lae Beauvert, in front of Jasper Park Lodge, the four -footed woodsmen have felled even some of the larger trees. Strange food for those who have so long lived on the poplar.

Plankton is the main food of whales, which obtain sufficient quantities by straining sea water through their teeth. The smallest at fish also eat plankton. A proposal to harvest plankton and use it as food for persons and livestock as a war -time meas- ure has been advanced by Pro- fessor A. C. Hardy, F. R. S., of University College, Hull, England. Plankton, he points out, consists of 59' per cent protein, 7 per cent fat, 20 per cent carbohydrates, 5 per cent of a shell-like material, and a small quantity of ash. The animal type contains 15 to 20 per oent of oil. He says the animal Dixie is economical you out it as you use it There's no waste. type has a nutritive value equal to the best meat, and the plant type equal to rye flour. It would be possible, says Pro- fessor Hardy, to harvest the plank- ton economically in the lochs on the coasts of Scotland. —o— STAINLESS STEEL The discovery that stainless steel can be made twice as easy to machine (cut, bore and saw) by the addition of a little of the metallic element bismuth hag been announced by the Batelle Memor- ial Institute of Columbus, O. By this new process it is estimated that maohining costs in defense manufacture can be cut by one quarter. New Industry Fro Be gi Antwerp Factory, With Key Men, Brought to England Before Nazi Invasion of Bel- gium Another new and valuable in- dustry has come to England with the Belgians. Antwerp used to send across the Channel instru- ments, prepared by a patent pro- cess from crushed diamonds, for making tungsten carbide tool tips, optical glass and porcelain arti- cles, and these were important in the war effort, too. A new de- velopment is the making of den- tal instruments almost entirely controlled by Germany up to the war. Just before the Nazis overran the Low Countries the Antwerp factory was brought to England with its key nien. These diamond craftsmen of Belgium have settled down in complete friendliness with their English fellow workers, and the output of their new fac- tory has had to be multiplied many times. Much of the work, such as diamond sorting, crushing, grad- ing and perfection can be done by men partly incapacitated by war injuries. Preparations are now beim' made to develop the new factory S products fdr the United States, the Dominions, Crown colonies and several neutral countries. Religious Habits Old and Modern In an address broadcast from St. Martin -in -the -Fields in Lon- don, England, the Rev. Eric Love - day suggested that many of our habits in religious thinking and worship are summed up in the words of an old Scotsman who said: "When I was a young man we gathered on the hillsides in all weathers, and standing there bare- headed sang "Praise God from whom all blessings flow.' Now I am a member of the most popular church in my city, where the pews are so comfortable that you could sleep in them, and we sing 'Art thou weary, art thou languid, art thou sore distressed?'
