MARGARET (PUDDIN') ESSON
Margaret (Puddiu') Esson, golf-
ing sensation of the Canadian wo-
men's open championship who hails
from Rosetown, Sask., and who
celebrated her 17th birthday in
May, never had a golf lesson in her
life. Asked how she came to take
up the game she told the Ottawa
Journal:
"Oh, I just started fooling
around with a club when I was 12.
I only had one club then, an old
number two iron, and one day I
told my brother Bill, who's a good
golfer, that I had gone around our
nine -hole course at home in 53.
Only Seventeen
"He didn't believe at first I had
done the nine holes in 53 with a
two -iron, but I made him believe
me, all right, Father's not such a
good golfer but he understands my
game and if I've bad a teacher he's
the only one. I've never taken a
lesson in my life."
"Puddin' " reached the quarter fi-
nals of the tourney 'before bowing
to Mrs. A. B. Walker, a member of
the British Curtis Cup team. Her
long drives and putting were sen-
sational, but she seemed unnerved
on the first nine holes of her match
with Mrs. Walker and went down.
to a four and two defeat.
Hunting Deer
Requires Skill
There hardly is a more popular
big game animal with hunters than
the whitetailed deer, Where there
is adequate forage of the right
kind, these animals are to be found
in good numbers, and over a wide-
spread area. They are keen witted,
crafty, and call for real skill on the -
part of the hunter in pursuing them
successfully.
In a region where they are
hunted extensively, the deer exer-
cise uncanny intelligence In eluding
their enemies. While they are able
to see at some distance, particular-
ly strange movements, they depend
mostly upon their sense of smell
and hearing to warn them of ap-
proaching danger.
The hunter must proceed against
the wind to get within firing range,
if • still -hunting, and he must learn
how to walk through the woods as
noiselessly as possible, and without
making quick motions, if he is to
bag a prize buck. He must not
cough, talk to his companions, or
smoke while stalking ,the wary
whitetails,
The most favorable conditions, of
course, are when the leaves are off
the trees, the ground is wet or cov-
ered with a good tracking snow,
and there is no wind blowing. But
we can't always pick the best times
for our hunts, so must rely upon
skill and a knowledge of the habits
of the deer to secure our trophies.

Brightening Up
Garden Corners
Partition Off Neglected , Bits
And Make Each One a Thing
Of Beauty
One of the changes most fre-
quently wanted is to enlarge the
garden, Such a move, however, is
best not made without careful con-
sideratiou, It Is not wise to add .a
"new room" until the existiug one
Is so well furnished and arranged
that maintenance time saved will
be sufficient to build and furnish
the additional, one.
Where enlarging is out of the
question or deemed inadvisable, the
existing garden often may be made
more interesting by "partitioning
off" certain nooks, or enclosing a
neglected corner, just as we make
the attic Into a room, Such nooks
or compartments, divided by small
hedges, and used as special places
for special things, will increase the
element of wonder and surprise,
which even familiarity will not
wholly destroy. An artist said of a
certain house: "I like it because
the outside appearance does not be-
tray what is inside," and the same
thought expresses a garden quality.
Simplicity in design need not be ob-
viousness.
Over -Eating
Is Da gerous
One of Chief Causes of High
Blood Pressure—Leads to
The Grave
Almost everybody eats tor- much.
and the path of aver -eating, "leads
but to the grave." Over -eating is
one of the chief causes of high
blood pressure. As one grows older
the blood vessels lose their resili-
ency and become less elastic and
more brittle. If one then runs for a
train, gets violently angry or does
anything else to make the heart
beat faster, the extra strain on the
blood vessels is likely to break
them and one has a "stroke," or
apoplexy.
To live long and keep healthy,
one should take exercise in moder-
ation, avoid rich foods and too
much food, and keep the blood
stream healthy, by living largely
on a diet of milk, eggs, oheese, and
whole grains, also fruits and vege-
tables.

Canada has everything to offer

Junior Farmer Moement

Left Hand, Right Hand
Over in Dover, New Jersey, the
town's poplatfon of 11,000 "will
cease all activity on Friday in a
one -minute prayer for world peace,"
The bulk of the town's industry is
centred in "huge munitions plants,"
Contradictions like that are the
things that keep the public mind In
a constant state of bewilderment in
these times. People making muni-
tions of war and praying for
peace: And beyond any doubt, their
prayers are sincere, It is all so bi-
zarre, so fantastic, so utterly in-
comprehensible, The ta.nreallty of it
is "real" Only to megalomaniacs
and would-be "Na»oteone" who rule
by tear attd tortes.

Dairy Farming
Costs Figured
Survey of 780 Ontario Dairy
Farms Has Been Made
Crop Season Found Import-
ant Factor
An enlightening summary rela-
tive to the organization and finan-
cial success of dairy farming in
Ontario has been prepared by the
Economics division, Marketing Ser-
vice, Dominion Department of Agri-
culture, Ottawa.
The report presents findings
gleaned from supervised farm ac-
counting on 780 dairy farms which
was conducted during the year
July 1, 1936, to June 30, 1937. The
project covers all dairying sections
of Ontario extending as far north
as Sault Ste. Marie, from Essex
county in the southwest to the Que-
bec border in the east.
Compare -Returns For Labor
The report indicates that the crop
season is an important factor in
successful dairying and that those
milk producers residing in areas
which suffered from the drought
for the crop year in question secur-
ed on the average discouraging net
incomes. The operators' labor
earnings which represent the farm
operator's return for his labor and
management plus the value of the
family living secured from the farm
for the several areas were as fol-
lows: Toronto $333, Windsor -Chat-
ham $881, London -Brantford $660,
Hamilton -Niagara $378, Owen
Sound -Peterborough -Oshawa $355.
St. Lawrence Towns $560, Ottawa
$1,295, Sudbury -North Bay $768,
Western Condensery $329, Eastern
Condensery $691, Western Cheese
$696, St. Lawrence Cheese $265,
Ottawa Valley Cheese $472, and the
Cream Shippers $572. The value
of the family living ranged from
$309 per farm in the Eastern Con-
densery zone to $430 in the Lon-
don -Brantford zone.
Milk Cost
The feed cost is the largest single
item of milk cost amounting from
48 to 58 per cent. of the gross cost.
Labor also is important accounting
for 20.6 per cent. of the gross cost
in the Windsor -Chatham area to
30.8 per cent. in the Sudbury -North
Bay zone.
We're the World's
Best Fed People
British Ntitirition Expert Says So
-Plenty of Milk Consumed
Heine
Belief Canadians "are the best -
fed people in the world," was ex-
pressed at Langstaff, Ontario, last
week by Sir Edward Mellanby, the
secretary-general of England's med-
ical research council, "If you are
not, you are at least very near it,"
he said.
Chief reason for bad teeth in
England is probably because not
enough milk is drunk, he said. Milk
is pasteurized in London and except
for there the milk supply is not
very good in England. `Poverty" is
another reason for the low con.
aainption'of milk he said.
Sir. Edward stayed at the farm
home of Dr, F, F. Tindall near Lang-
staff, about 10 miles north of Tor
into,
Sure Norsemen
First Settlers
Editor of Sault Daily Star Finds
New Support for his Belief
That They were Earliest
Whites to Set Foot on North
America
New and important evidence that
Norse adventurers were the first
white men to set foot on North
America will be made public soon,
J.. W. Curran, publisher of the Sault
Daily Star, said in an article in the
Star.
He and two other investigators
are prepared to report that three
Norse relics were actually found in
1931 near Beardmore, in northwest-
ern Ontario. They were produced
to 1935 by James E. Dodd of Port
Arthur, who sold them to the Royal
Ontario Museum.
Prove Weapons Found Here
Mr. Curran said he investigated.
with little hope at first that the
weapons could be proven to have
been found in Ontario. He was as-
sisted by Judge Alexander McCom-
ber, senior judge of the Thunder
Bay District, and Dr. George E. Ea-
kins, of Port Arthur.
The relics sold by Dodd, a rail-
way conductor and amateur pros-
pector, were proven of the 11th
Century but their discovery in On-
tario was disputed. Dodd said he
dug them up whileprospecting for
gold.
400 Years Before Columbus
The Sault publisher said:
"I accept Mr. Dodd as a truthful
man, and so accept his story as true
and exact. There is no question '-t
my mind but that he found the
Norse relics where he says he did,"
Mr. Curran asserted the newly -
gathered evidence might possibly
prove that Norse sailors came to
Ontario by James Bay before the
year 1100, or 400 years before Co-
lumbus crossed the Atlantic and
reached Lake Nipigon by way of
the Albany and Kenogami rivers.

Parade
By Elizabeth Eedy
THE FIGHTING SPIRIT—If more
People were like her, Adolf Hitler's
aggressions in Central, Europe
would have been stopped long ago.
A septuagenarian lady of daunt-
less spirit who lives in an Ontario
town and is respected by all its in-
habitants listened to Hitler's Berlin
speech (as we all did). She had
not hearkened long to the hysteri-
cal mouthings of the dictator before
a furious anger against him rose
up in her. She kicked the radio.
and kicked it hard.
The loudspeaker was damaged to
the extent of $3.75. Something
went wrong with the power lines
outside of her house and the town
will be presenting her with the bill,
as a result.
Nevertheless the lady insists the
kick was worth it.
WHITHER FRANCE? — It looks
now as if France, once the strong-
est democracy on the Continent of
Europe, is to be relegated to the
role of a second-rate power. How
else could you interpret her pres-
ent position?
. Just four years ago France count-
ed her European allies and friends
on both hands: Belgium, Czechoslo-
vakia, Poland, Rumania, Yugosla-
via, Soviet Russia, Greece, Turkey.
British friendship was assured.
Germany was well encircled. Today
French statesmen admit privately
that their country is dependent
solely on Britain's goodwill for her
future.
This autumn of 1038, France in-
stead of Germany is encircled. At
her back door she has insurgent
Spain with its hostile airdromes
only a few miles from the border.
In the Mediterranean she faces the
threat of the Italian fleet cutting
her off from her reserves in North
Africa. In the east her "impreg-
nable" Maginot line of defense
against Germany is built on the
same engineering principles as the
Czech fortifications whose secrets
the Germans now possess.
Nothing seems to be left for
France to do, but to revolve as
Britain's satellite.
LAST iN EUROPE—In Adolf Hit-
ler's speech to the world Septem-
ber 26, he declared that the Sude-
ten areas were the last territorial
demand he would make in Europe.
"In Europe," mind.
That says nothing about the Brit-
ish African colonies which he
wants.
ME, TOO As soon as Germany
had been granted the settlement
of the Sudeten minority problem
in Czechoslovakia, Poland got her
ultimatum in et Prague, demand-
ing the cession of the areas where
the Polish minority lives. Now
Hungary has set up a howl on be-
half of the Magyars in Czechoslo-
vakia.
At home the British Government
is confronted by the Welsh Nation-
alists who want their minority
problem taken up; by Prime Minis-
ter de Valera of Eire who wants a
plebiscite in certain areas of Nor-
thern Ireland. If such were held,
Mr. de Valera believes, four of the
six counties of Ulster—Armagh,
Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Antrim,
Londonderry—would wish. to join
Eire (formerly the Irish Free
State).
Mr. de Valera must have had his
tongue in his cheek when he said
that "Ireland cannot be left out of
any general settlement of the mi-
nority problem in Europe."
THE WEEK'S QUESTION—How
does the price paid this fall for
Interested In Election
David A, CroIl, K.C., former
member of the Hepburn Cabinet,
who, according 'to reports, may re-
tire from provincial polities and
run for Dominion House in the
next general election.
Sees Closer Union
With the States
Premier Hepburn Predicts That
In Era to Come Canada and
the U. S. Will be Drawn
Closer Together
A closer union between Canada
and the United States arising from
the struggle of European countries
to become self-sustaining was en-
visioned by Premier Hepburn.
Mr. Hepburn told the American
Transit Association that Japan,
Italy and Germany revealed in the
recent world crisis they bad seri-
ous designs upon the rest of the
world, seeking to make themselves
self-sustaining at the expense of
other countries.
Becoming Self -Contained
Canada and the United States
never had feared invasion, but they
should give serious thought to be-
coming self-contained. Both "won-
derful countries". they were peo=
pled uy the same people who had
provided the necessary material to
maintain free democracies.
Economic consequences, thus, of
the European situation, coupled
with the geographical position of
Canada and the United States
would bring the two countries clos-
er together in a new era that must
come 11 the whole economic struc-
ture were not to tumble.
Swing Not New
Says Sir Ernest
Derived From Colored Rhythm
Canadian Symphony Con-
ductor Avers
VANCOUVER.—Sir Ernest Mc-
Millan, of Toronto, Canadian com-
poser and symphony conductor,
claims "jitterbugs," "jam sessions"
and swing music are nothing new.
Sir Ernest was guest conductor
for the Vancouver Symphony Or-
chestra concert here.
All popular present day music is
derived from coloured rhythm, said
Sir Ernest last week. He did not
believe "swing music" would bo
permanent. "'Jittery' music is
probably the result of the `jittery'
nervous life people lead today," he
said.
