No Scribblers Now 01d -fashioned "scribblers" are now described hi schools as "work boo::," because the terns `.scribblers" had a bad psychological effect upon primary school pupils and gave them queer ideas, many of which are just coming to light now that former pupils of the scribbler era are taking an active part in affairs. Some of the ideas dating back to the time when school children did their les- sons on slate: and were even queerer, such as the idea of drawing pic- tures of the teacher during school. hours in the comfortable knowledge that they could be instantly ex- punged should discovery threaten.— London Advertiser. 20,000 People, Not 400 —"They told tie not to call at Kirkland Lake, as it was only a vil- lage of about 400 people." The speaker was a young traveller • for some Toronto house, who was talking at a restaurant table recent- ly to a member of the Northern News staff who was having supper. The young man had already made a trip to Timmins, and on his way back had dropped into "the village of about 400 people" more or less out of curiosity. He also sells in Toronto for his firm, and told his vis-a-vis that he had sold more wares here than he can in the Queen City. At this point, to overcome the simplicity of those from outside who start to read this editorial, let us work in the fact that Kirkland Lake has a population of about 20,000, and that the annual payroll of its largest mine is ' over $2,000,000 a year. — Kirkland Lake Northern News. had to .chauge a great deal in re- cent years to make woollen under- wear needless. We have no way of knowing for certain, but we have an idea that every person, man, woman and child, on the 10th Con- cession wore wool in Winter Time. 3f the 102 -pound girls of today prefer to go romping about in zero weather with but a few ounces of silk, they may do so. But our vote has been cast for wool and the Ot- tawa Journal men cannot wean us from this strong affection. -Peter- borough Examiner. 12 Ducks a Day Surely 12 ducks a day is a reason- able limit, and surely a conservation program which is continental in scope is preferable to a hodge-podge of programs which tend to cancel each other out and tend to destroy the impulse toward observance. Ex- pressions of readiness to observe the regulations, such as have come from the Manitoba Game' Association, represent a more truly sportsman- like attitude than does the debatable claim that hunters elsewhere get more generous treatment.—Winni- peg Tribune.

What other province or country except this could take as a matter of course the announcement that a married couple were celebrating in good health and activity their 75th wedding anniversary; and an- other lady enjoying life to full in her 102nd year. — Charlottetown Guardian. Out of the Parlors North and South —By actual count there are 111 places in Canada that bear time word "North," as past of their designa- tion. In addition there are a few in which the "North" part has been incorporated in abbreviated form to make the complete name, such as "Noranda" (a combination of the Words "North" and "Canada"), "Norland," (the derivation being apparent), "Norbestos" (made from the words "North" and "Asbestos"), "Norway," • "Norgate," "Norval," and one or two others. On the other hand, however, there are no less than 100 "Souths" including Southampton, South Bath- urst, South Bay, South Edmonton, South Manchester,' South Oshawa, South Boston, South Woodslea, and the famous old South Porcupine. It is •always worthy of note that while there is one "South End," there is no "North End," though this may be taken by the visitor to mean that —A return to favor of the rock- there is no end to • the North in ing-chair is being predicted.

Casts Vote for Wool —The idea of getting into a pair of shoes or underwear and start- ing off toward the barn in early morning is not very comforting. In the hs ase on Lot 4, Concession 10, it was cold when we got up in the morning. The first thing was to light the fire in the kitchen range because it never would stay in over night on sticks of wood, If the weather had turned overly cold it was necessary to thaw out the pump at the side of the house before D-4 Oxford Group Team Open Campaign At Brantford Eighty-five Members Congre- gate From All Parts Of Canada and Overseas Preceded by a four=day jnouse party at Niagara Falls at which well- known leaders of the • movement. from all parts of the dominion carne together, a large team of the Ox-, ford Group is moving into Brant- ford to inaugurate the most intens- ive campaign Canada has •known since the first army of "life -chang- ers came from the Ohl Country four years ago. Frank in their declaration that nothing short of a spiritual revolu- tion is their objective, a revolution so complete that the social, political and industrial thinking of Brant- ford will be definitely changed, the 85 or more members of the team are opening the attack with large rutitc: meetings. Although this will signalize the first arrival of a large group. Brant- ford has been aware for several weeks of quiet activity on the part of its forerunners. Men and women prominent in the movement have been preparing for the campaign_ with Brant county leaders. Among these have been Eric Bentley, Tor- onto, leader of the team, Paul Nan ton and G.

They Meet the Test The difficulties that businessmen have faced during the past few years are inadequately recognized by their fellow-ciizens. So is the fact that fair dealing has characterized their operations in the great major- ity of cases. The way they have met the test of these trying times should result in their being accord- ed a large additional measure of public confidence, which will stand them in good stead in the better days that now lie ahead.—Ednion- ton Jornal. 1935 Coal Capital France of Newcastle -on -Tyne, Sura Senya of Ceylon and his wife. "Men and women from Vancouver Island to the Maritimes are coining" said Mr, Nanton whose father the late Sir Augustus Nanton, played a leading part in the development of Western Canada."They realize that God -controlled people must be the foundation of a remade Canada, and are conning here for the mobil- zation of a new national leadership. Canada can pioneer again and this section of Ontario can provide a message and a leadership for the nation." The capital employed in coal min- ing . in 1935 amounted to $11,516,517 and the industry paid out $26,595,- 344 in wages and salaries. The amount of coal produced was 13,- 865,455 net tons and the loss on, the year's operations throughout Cana- da was approximately $362,000 in 1935. • • Striking cross section of Canada will be represented in the team which is to move into Brantford.'

This is only under discus- sion when one has plenty of line out such ,as in casting and trolling. I can't say what is the correct method but here is the one I use. When using a light line and my fish breaks water I usually give him a little slack, because if he falls back on a taut line there is a mighty good chance that he will break it. If 1 am using a heavy line for a spoon and my fish breaks water then I give him the butt to set the hooks and with the heavy line I' ani pretty sure it will hold. A Few Tips About Bait Simply wash worms and place them in clean moss, slightly damp. Keep in a cool place and keep the moss moist but never wet., Never use earth as this will pack and be- come wet. Crawfish should benwashed once a week. They may be fed a few gra- ham cracker crumbs. Keep from being wet and they will live a con- siderable time. Carry a bottle of stave off infection. FISHING FACTS FROM A NOVICE POINTERS u There has been :. great deal of comment, one time or another as to whether it is necessary to cover the point of the hook or leave it bare. Sonne people say yes, by all means. Others ;eay phooey, or old fashion-. ed. Last sunineer I was with a party, bass -fishing on Lake Siincoe. The water would be about twelve feet deep and had a clay and weedy bot- tom. We , had frogs and worms aplenty of both so of course we were out for the catch of the season. • After quite a while we realized that the fish for some reason were among those arriving from the Pacific Coast is president of a large British Columbia salmon canning' company, Louis Forde. machinist from Cornwall, Fred Bartlett, apart-• men house janitor; included in in- dustrialists attending will be Ernest McLurg, farmer vice-president of the British Empire Steel Corpora- tion.

One of the party covered the point of the hook after baiting with a frog. Using a very- small morsel of worm. From then on we all had the best of lucic, This of course proves nothing and is .only given for what it is worth. There is another point that often conies up during a fishing trip.

Kenneth Ashcroft, blue- eyed boyish -looking vicar of Poplar, England, lit another Russian cigar- ette, stretched himself, said to a re- porter: "There's only one word tor modern parents — mutts.' That's what they are' mutts. Of course, they're nice—med.—but don't their children pull the wool over their eyes!" Mr. Ashcroft, 50 -year-old bachelor looking in the mid -thirties, thinks nothing of the modern girl, less of her morals. He wrote a piece in his parish magazine after his simmer holiday: "My attention was attracted by the truly shameless fashion in which lovers did their `conoodling' in .the. most exposed places. "One would have thought that with acres of quiet pastureland they would have preferred to have indul- ged in 't'tiese tender, but to the on- looker somewhat ridiculous, embra- ees in the kindly protection of some secluded glade. But no—quite a large number deliberately chose the footpath of all places." WOULD YOU? - And he stands by it. He said to the reporter: "Would you Canoodle about in the. open? 01 course you wouldn't—nor would I. But it's the; sante all over. Morals have gone to ' pieces.

BLENHEIM, ONT. — Although in big demand as actresses, private secretaries, ticket vendors in box of- fices, or in any position demanding the admiration of roan, platinum blondes have not actually come into their day. Their newest opportunity is in television. In the world's most advanced television studio, platinum blondes have beer selected abead of brunettes and red -heads for positions as announcers. Thomas M. C. Lance, announcer and engineer at the London, Eng- land, television broadcasting studio, who is visiting with his uncle, T. C.. Warwick, of Blenheim, is a blond and he requires very little make-up before going'on the air, he said. The make-up used is a yellowish powder, even more yellow than that used by moving picture studios. The lips are tinted blue. Ile predicted that platinum blondes have a great future in television. As far as re- production mechanically is concern- ed, platinum hair is the favorite over brunette. Mr. Lance is stationed at the home of the Baird studios, in the Crystal Palace, London, England.
