A. bountiful prize. Should King Carol refuse to fall in with Germany's plans, a bit- ter and bloody struggle is sure to ensue over the mastery of this re- gion. And King Carol, let it be re- membered, is a strong-minded man. Henry C. Wolfe, noted writer on European affairs, predicts a coming conflict: "Because of her geogra- phical location, tier minority prob- lems (Magyar, German, Slav), her position on the route from the Reich to the Ukraine, Rumania Is a keg of dynamite. Already a titan- ic struggle between Germany and Russia is beginning in Rumania. Other countries, like Bulgaria and Hungary, are pawns in this con- flict" Mr. Wolfe contends that if King Carol should flatly defy Hit- ler the latter could stir up a reviv- al of the Iron Guard in Rumania and could inspire Hungarian and Bulgarian irredentists to reclaim territory from Rumania. The story of Czechoslovakia would be repeat- ed. DANGEROUS POSITION: An au- thoritative British review, the Ec- onomist, has come out fiat -footed and said that the new position of the European democracies (France and Britain especially) is the most dangerous they have had to face within half a century. Qualifying the statement: except for Portugal, Egypt and Iraq, there are no coun- tries pledged to stand with Great Britain and France should a war break out. GREATEST CANADIAN: In a com- prehensive straw -vote conducted by the Toronto Globe and Mail among residents of the Queen City, Sir Frederick Banting, co -discover- er of insulin, was voted Canada's greatest living man. Prime Minis- ter King and Sir William Mulock came second and third respective- ly. RIDE 'EM COWBOY: There's rust- lers riding the range. We don't mean in a Western horse -opera ei- ther. We point instead to what is going on right here in Ontario. Up in Simcoe County this fall they've had no end of cattle stolen. Now the epidemic has spread to Grey County. The farmers are up in arms and patrolling their pastures with shotguns. They hope soon their midnight vigils will be rewarded, and the culprits, who have been carting the stolen animals away in trucks, get what's coming to them. WHAT JAPAN HOLDS: The pre- sent undeclared war in China up to this week has lasted 600 days. Some 200,000,000 of the 400,000,000 Chinese people have passed under nominal Japanese control. All the greatest Chinese cities are now in Japanese hands. Japan holds seven of the principal gateways to China, Is attempting to profit from the trade which still flows through these gates. In every "conquered" province, however, determined and effective guerilla resistance continues. There is still no sign that Chinese morale is cracking. THE WEEK'S QUESTION: What increase is expected this year in Canada's outlay for arms? Answer: The annual military budget is like- ly to be stepped up $15,000,000 or $20,000,000 raising the 1939 total to upwards of $50,000,000. Aged Hunter Kills Wolf In Pasture PRESIDENT MERIVALE CORNERS, Ont. — Eighty -five-year-old Jim Slack, of this village near Ottawa, a hunt- ing enthusiast for the past 57 years, proved last week he still has a nimble trigger finger. Slack's son discovered a timber wolf in the pasture when he went for the cows. He ran back to the house to call his father, who was preparing for a partridge bunt. When they reached the pasture, the elder Slack saw the wolf run- ning across a clearing. He raised his 12 -gauge shotgun. One shot was all that was necessary. It struck the animal in the chest. DR. W. J. R. FOWLER noted Ontario horseman, who is the president of the Guelph Winter Pair.

Asbestos: Finest Fibre in 'World Microscope Reveals New Uses for the Mineral Being Discovereda,r-- Canada Chief Source of Supply The microscope has shown that asbestos is probably tiie finest fibre in existence, which may lead to ' valuable new applications of this material, .according to David Wolo- chow, chemist of the National Re- search Couucil laboratories. In a paper on asbestos and its uses, appearing in the Canadian In- stitute of 1Vlining and Metallurgy Bulletin, Wolochow says knowledge of the physical nature of fibre ag- gregate and thereby the effects of milling processes on asbestos is be- ing definitely increased and put on a sound basis by this investigation. Used With Cement, Rubber, Oil Reviewing research in Canada, he says considerable work has al- ready been carried out in the Coun- cil's - laboratories with a view to finding new uses for the anineral, Although a constituent of many products, asbestos fibre is used chiefly in conjunction with Port- land cement, metal, rubber, graph- ite, oil, grease and bituminous ma- terials. The five chief types of as- bestos products are textiles and textile products, buildings mater- ials, heat and sound insulating mat- erials and molded products.. Canada haslong been the chief source of world supply of the min- eral, the output being obtained al- most entirely from the Thetford district in Quebec. Russia and Rho- desia, South Africa, are the only other important producers. Garage Owner Doesn't "Fool" Wants Auto Parts In a Hurry, So Takes Plane to Get Them When Stan Seaton, Teeterville (Ont.) garageman, wants service, he wants service. And in a hurry. One afternoon last month e re- quired some automobile repair parts. He telephoned to a store in Brantford, ordered the parts and said he wanted delivery "right away". Teeterville is some distance and . in the country, but Mr. Seaton is nothing if not up to date. "I'll be at the Brantford airport in 15 minutes, so meet pie there," he said and hung up. Ten minutes later a plane with Seaton as pass- enger, was circling for a landing. The storekeeper first 'thought the conversation sounded like some- body's idea of a misplaced April Fool stunt, but he took a chance and also the parts, to the airport, where they were picked up by Seaton who had been flown in by Dan Dwyer, who lives about four miles from Teeterville. Floral Gumbo Chrysanthemums are not only good to look at; they make tasty soup. Here's the recipe recom- mended by K. Hiray_ama, presi- dent of the Japanese Chrysanthe- mum Society, Vancouver, B.C.: Put a pint of milk and a table- spoon of butter in a pan and heat. Add two tablespoonsful of corn starch and stir until thick. Add chopped chrysanthemum petals which have been boiled in water for two minutes. Serve hot. Pernickety Fawn Chews Tobacco The Erickson family of Swan Creek, Manitoba, is not keeping a do- these days. The house- hold has a pet fawn, Patsy. And she is creating nearly as much trouble for the Ericksons and the neighbors as anybody's dog. Patsy was found last sum- mer, and was so small that she was carried home in a jacket pocket. Since then she's grown considerably. She now chews tobacco, as- certaining first that it's fine cut. She frequently raids neighbor- hood gardens. New Car Models At ' botor Show Held in Toronto the Last Week of November, This Brilliant Annual Event Will Feature Unusual Exhibits, Entertain- ment In the biggest assembly of mot- orcars ever presented in Canada, under the auspices that outshine even previous years, the National Motor Show of Canada, held in To- ronto during the week of November 26th to December 3rd will bring to- - gether a quarter million dollars worth of new model cars and a distinguished list of entertainers. For months plans have been pre- paring and work has been progres- sing on the scores of exhibits that range from an exact scale reproduc- tion of an oil -drilling field to the most minute mechanical detail of a car or truck. And numerous fea- tures include such things as a dis- play of famous British fighting ships, reproduced in models and in- cluding such naval names as Nel- son's Victory and the Battle Crui- ser Hood, world's largest battle cruiser which cost $35,000,000. Cabaret, 800 Persons The new cars will be presented in settings that outrival the pro- ducts of artists' and designers' skill of former years. One exhibitor alone has devoted $30,000 to the construction of the exhibit which will present approximately 60 per- sons in a spectacle staged under unusual conditions. The cabaret, which accommo- dates S00 persons, has brought such stars as Lucille Johnston of the Club Paradise, New York, who recently was signed - by Warner. Brothers Pictures for five years; Don Francisco, slack -wire walker who comes direct from the Pallad- ium, London, and a command per- formance before the Royal Family; Dolores, singing and dancing star borrowed from the Folies Comique being featured at the Waldorf-As- toria, and many others. George Piggott, of Eccles (Eng- land), considers himself the world's luckiest boy. In a busy road he skidded on his bicycle and was thrown onto the road. A horse walked over him. The wheels of a van went over his leg. Only his knee was bruised. Released from a 45 -foot shaft after two days, a dog, none the worse for its ordeal, immediately attacked a dog belonging to one of its rescuers, at Wa]wa, Austra- lia.
