Motoring o ring Signals
Should e Given
Incitation is the sincerest form of
Battery, and the fact that, after strict
investigation on the part of an Am-
, erican newspaper editor, the system
of automobile signalling followed in
this province has been found the best
and is recommended for adoption
throughout the United States is nat-
urally gratifying to residents of On-
tario, observes the Hamilton Specta-
tor. The majority of drivers in this
province. however, have little reason
to congratulate themselves. They
ase the "left turn" signal, by extend -
ng the left arm, because the law in-
i:sts they shall do so; but there are
other "courtesy" signals which are
seldom given, 'such neglect some-
times resulting in accidents which
might easily have been -avoided.
It is not often .,that the intention
of turning right is made known to
following motorists, fox instance. It
Is explained that there are two
aQGFlS-aaa:.?fidicatinkr•rsueh noerrtion
—either by extending the left arm
Upwards, or by waving the left : hand
In a clockwise motion, "which simul-
taneously indicates'" a turn to the
right and signals the driver behind
that it is safe to pass on the left
-
Ahother signal rarely given is the
xstop"' and "slow" sign, indicated by
extending the left arm downwards.
,it is very important that the driver
Jn the following ear should know of
;Itch intention. If all drivers would
rigidly observe these simple direc-
tions, there can be no doubt that
conditions on the streets and high-
ways would be immensely improved.
Whether the Ontario system is adopt-
ed in the United States or no, the
survey which has been made will be
of real value if it directs the atten-
tion of Ontario motorists themselves
to the proper signals which should be
adopted. In the Old Country there
is a more elaborate system of sig-
nalling, by which drivers continually
indicate conditions ahead, waving on
those behind to pass when the road
is clear, warning when it is danger-
ous to do so, etc. It is not wise, per-
haps, to complicate the situation by
introducing new methods, but it
might be well to insist that the ex-
isting signals be more generally
given.
Stenographers
It is certain that the most impres-
sive single feature of a great many
business offices is the stenographer.
She is certainto be trim, alert and
business -like, and she „is mores :than
Iilely to be very good to look at;.
and in any case she shares with such
diverse professionals as trained
nurses, printers, aviators and steam-
ship captains an air of cool, unemo-
tionaI competence — sure harbinger
that any incoming job will be handled
capably and without fuss. Instal a
man in an office with such a divine
creature at its beck and call and
what happens? He immediately, and
inevitably, becomes a great letter -
writer. He could not do less, if he
has a heart.

At The Turn of the Road
At the turn of the road is a picture
that comes to my mind like a
dream,
'Tis the little white house of my
neighbor that stands by the side of
the stream.
By a stream where the slow gentle
current is fringed by a border of
trees,
That send out their soft -lazy shadows
and shelter the birds in their
leaves.
'Tis there that the roses of Junetime
reach beauty that cannot be told,
And there in the home of my neigh-
bor are comforts far better than
gold.
So over and over the picture that I
see of that little abode,
Will bring to me thoughts of my
neighbor and his home at the turn
of the road.
The average man cannot stand pros-
perity, we are told. Which is prob-
ably the reason`the average man does-
n't have to.
"Does your husband talk in his
sleep?"
"No, and it's terribly exasperating.
He just grins."

CALEDONIA First threshing
results on the faun of Gordon
Moore, along the Caledonia. high-
way, one mile north of here, yielded
330 bushels of wheat from an elev-
en -acre field or 33 bushels to the

Wesley Peart, 4th line, threshed 280
bushels from nine acmes, which is
several bushels above the average

BACON EXPORT SOARING
The total export .of bacon to the
United Ringdom up to the end of
April, 1937, was 66,602,600 pounds,
or 21,000,000 pounds more than for
the salve period in 1936. In addi-
tion to exports to the 'United King-
dom, the United States took double
the quantity of bacon in 1937, as
compared with 1936, to the end of
April. Six .million pounds of pork
have been taken by the U,S, so far
this year against 3,000,000 pounds
for the corresponding period in 1936.

TNFFMVIAN, SASK., — After se-

were grazing in pasture.
FIND PIGS CLEANER THAN
COWS
AMHERST; MASS., — Pigs are
among the cleanest of all animals,
according to Victor A. Rice, profes-
sor of animal husbandry at Massa-
chusetts State College. "Pigs like
to roll in niud to keep themselves
warm," he explains. "Pigs have no
sweat glands, and this is a process
of 'heat radiation' whereby the body
temperature of the animal is regu-
lated. They are far cleaner than ei-
ther horses or cows."
New Brunswick's hay crop is ex-
pected to be 20 per cent less than
that of last year. .Offsetting this is
an anticipated 'bumper grain crop.
THE TURNIP APHID
In connection with the control of
the turnip aphid, entomologists ad-
vise the planting of two rows of the
_ white turnips in a field .of swedes as
;a. "trap" crop for this insect. These
aphids, which cause serious injury
to young turnip plants through the
feeding on the leaves, commonly
reach Canadian points in the late
summer, but they niay be expected
earlier this year and probably to
cause greater injury. Past exper-
ience has shown that this Insect pre-
fers white to turnips, and may ga-
ther in huge numbers on a small
number of white turnip plants, and
leaving the planting of a row or
two of white turnips in with the
main crops attacks the aphids to the
"trap" plants so that they can be
destroyed easily with srap or dust
or by being ploughed under. The
turnip aphid or plant lice make
themselves apparent in a field
through individual plants becoming
stunted in growth and sickly in ap-
pearance. Purple blotches may ap-
pear on the surface of the leaf and
these indicate large colonies on the
under surface, These infested plants
should be pplled and removed at
once.
AUSTRALIAN WOOL CROP
SYDNEY, N.S.W., — The Nation-
al Association of Wool -selling Bro-
kers forecast the 1937-38 wool clip
at 3,146,000 bales, of which 82 per
cent should be merino and 18 per
cent crossbred. Of this total clip, it
is estimated that about 2,860,000
;bales will be offered for sale
through brokers' stores; the amount
offered before Christmas, it is pre-
dicted, will net exceed 1,500,000
bales. Oti an estimated average
weight of 800 pounds avoirdupois,
the new clip will run to 943,800,000
)pounds.

North Woods Guide
Indian Squaws Did Most of the
Paddling in the Old Days
While Warriors Watched
ELY, Minn.—Milady may have the
services of doctors and lawyers of her
own sex and now, should she like to
rough it a bit, she may utilize a wom-
an woods guide.
But she must make her appoint-
ment far in advance for Marie Sarki-
pato says business is so good that
bookings run into September.
The comely young woman, who is
blond and 19, obtained her training
'r. Her father, Otto Sarkipato, op -
:l a boat livery on Shagawa
where Marie was born, for
more than 20 years.
That is responsible for the young
lady's training. While attending high
school, Miss Sarkipato won the state
breast stroke swimming championship
for women. She- is also a registered
Red Cross life saver.
Miss Sarkipato (she pronounced it
Sar-kee-pato) caters exclusively to wo-
men, although she has guided couples
through the border Iakes canoe routes.
These trips often keep her in the
wilds two weeks at a time.
Strange, this woman guide busi-
ness?
"Certainly not," snapped Miss Sar-
kipato. "We're no weaker sex. Indian
squaws did most of the paddling and
packing in. the old days while the
warriors fondled their shooting irons
and watched for wild animals and the
enemy." _.
Norfolk Apple
Crop Increases
Expect Production to Rise 15 Per
Cent Over Last Year
SIMCOE, — Norfolk's apple
crop this year is expected to ex-
ceed the 1936 production by at the
least 15 per cent, according to Geo.
Wilson, manager of the local cold
storage plant. Better quality is also
looked for, due chiefly to the abun-
dant moisture and the absence of a
drouth such as affected the crop last
season. •
Early apples will be quite a heavy
crop 'and Spys will be lighter than
last year, Mr. Wilson said.
The cold storage is running on
Transparents at present, which be-
gan coming in on the 20th of July.
Last year the apples began coming
in on the 16th. To date the deliver-
ies are up 50 per cent over last
year.
In the great majority of the com-
mercial orchards, control of apple
scab is maintained and side -worm
is only prevalent on a few farms.
Damage from hail has been very
local.
