Warns Editor .After Review-
ing Magistrate's Judgment
On Case
A new legal status Iran been given
to that passive and productive animal,
the cow. It is no longer neees-ars" for
this domestic quadruped to watch her
step like the common herd.
A magistrate at Truro Nova Scotia
has delivered a judgement regarding
the circumstances immedia'ely ante_
cadent to the untimely decease of a,
wandering bovine, upon which judg-
ment the late Mr. Solomon could
scarcely have improved. The cow was
In the road. It was contacted (nice
new expression invented by hustling
salesmen).
The magistrate expressed himself
as follows: "A man who does . not
stop his car when a herd of castle is
on the road is a menace and • a fool.
He said also that no driver can
determine what a cow is going to do
and that the onus is therefore upon
the driver. Nothing could be more
true than the facts set 4orth in His
Worship's final sentence.
Nobody knows what a cow Is going
to do; not even the cow. The motor-
ist finds himself upon the horns of a
dilemma. He wishes to pass the cow
but be has no means of knowing just

where the cow will be when he ar-
7rives, He has little stomach for it,
whereas the cow has tour.The driver has no preconceived an-
tipathy toward tile. cow, indeed the
milk of kindness may be in him. His
ordinary sentiment in the platter of
cows is one of.good will and esteem.
He has no desire to injure either hair
or hide of ,the ruminant ruminating
in the highway, but the cow, preoccu-
pied with gustatory prob!ems 'pecul-
tar to its field of activity, has a tend-
ency to gyrate.
The cow, in momenta of abstratlon
common to all deliberative mammals,
college professors, etc., is subject to
unpremeditated and therefore unfore-
seeable vagaries of locomotion. These
are distinctly embarrassing to the
automobile driver, whose only safe
course par.icii'ariy in view of this
recent' judgment, is to go back a few
l'miles and detour.
It is dill'ioult in the light of person-
al experience to completely stifle all
sense of sympathy for the Truro of-
fender who is thus left to chew upon
the cud of his melancholy reflections.
i3ut there is a point of great impart -
lance involved. A way out has been
found for the ordinary human biped,
who has no right of way. All that he
has to do now is to look like a cow.
LEARN TO SKI !
In a neatly bound, ,handy -sized book
"Learn to Ski" (Macmillan's Toronto)
Hermann Bautzman has given ski -en.
thusiasts the volume they have been
Iooking for.
Mr. Bautzinan's method is the one
that is now largely used in Europe,
and. has as its foundation the idea
that everybody can, and should ski.
This theory of skiing is the ultimate
outcome of years of experience gain-
ed by our greatest ski experts. These
pioneers in the realms- of skiing have
paved the way for later generations
of •skiers who may now enjoy the ad-
vantages without ,the troubles exper-
ienced in breaking new ground. Mr.
Bautzmzann has set forth the lessons
in simple, understandable language
which is made yet more obvious by
the many illus rations interspersed
throughout the pages.
The author was born in Berlin, Ger-
many, educated at the German Acad-
emy of Sports and Body Culture and
is an excellent skier himself. He has
lived for some years -In Canada and
has done much to further the interest
of Canadians, in this winter sport.

Preparations
BEFORE you take any prepara-
tion you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it — in comparison
with "Aspirin."
We say this because, before the
discovery of "Aspirin," most so-
called "pain" remedies were ad-
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
"Aspirin" largely changed medical
practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken "Aspirin" year in
and out without ill effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: "Aspirin" : is
rated among the fastest methods get
discovered for the relief of headaches
and all common pains .. and safe
for the average person to take
regularly.

And then he asks this very Pointe

true that "familiarity. breeds co

think there is any necessity for de
liberate restraint. Restraint -is hard
ly the word to use.. Without taking
undu ,,advantage, a' man should al-
ways' be able to meet his superior
on his -Own" ground and not in any
cringing attitude. A man should be
able to converse quite freely with his
boss especially when they are talk_
ing about their work, but it is bet-
ter that he should not be the first
to engage "in conversation on mat-
ters that have no connection with the
work or that would take up the time
of the boss needlessly. After all, even
the boss may be working for a boss
and it is more than probable that his
conscientiousness is accountable for
the responsible position he holds. Be-
sides, if there are other men under
him, and he shows too. great a (rend-
liness with you, it might lead those
other men to feel that he is granting
you favors and that he is not playing
a fair game. So do not do anything
to jeopardize his position.
Do not be afraid to show' your boss
that you have a personality of your
own and that you know your work,.
yet make him feel that you recognize
his position. As a man of course, he
is no better than you.. You are not
necesarily his inferior although he
may be over you. But the position. he
holds demands respect and it is up
to you to show that respect for it:

greater than the average rainfall
for twenty years back according to
figures in the records kept by of-
ficial weather observer, Alex, Abra-
ham.
Since January 1 of this year a
total of 17,29 inches of rain has
fallen in Stratford an average of
2.16 inches for each of eight months
which have already passed. That
total of course is not yet equal to
the 1934 mark' of 23.19 inches of
rain but with four more months to
go before the records officially close
for the year, and less than six inch-
es of rain needed to equal last year's
mark, The chances are that rainfall
for' 1935 will pass the mark of last
year which was a comparatively dry
year.
Since 1915, the date from which
records are available, the greatest
amount of rain to fall in Stratford
in one year fell in 1932 when 36.63
inches was recorded. The lowest fig-
ure since 1915 was last year's mark
of 23.19. inches.
Stratford's average rainfall for
the past 21 years, inclusive of 1935
sand. 1915, is 28.74 inches.
May Rainfall Heaviest
The month of May has been the
month in which the greatest amount
of rain has fallen. Other months
have been wet enough but the high-
est rainfall figure for any one month
was in May 1916 when 7.95 inches
of rain fell. In May 1924, 6.05 inch-
es of rain was recorded and the same
month in other years has always
shown a tendency to be wetter than
other months of the year.
In the past 20 years rainfall has
been well above the average of 28.-
74
8:74 inches..In 13 of the 20 years the
rainfall has averaged over three in-
-ches above the 20 -year average mark.
For six years the records show
rainfall averaging four inches below
the 20 -year average mark and only
one year has the precipitation been
on par with the average.
The following are the figures in-
dicating rainfall for each year, be-
ginning with 1934 figure: 23.19;
24.89; 35.34; 33.75; 24.5; 25.32; 31.54;
29.35; 33.06; .27.21; 29.32; 36.631--
38.23;
6.631-.3.3.23; 30.58; 28.35; 30.1; 31.28; 32.88;
30.11. Figures for 1915 are available
for only the five months from Aug-
ust to December, when Mr. Abra-
ham took over the .duties as weather
observer and recorder.
WHAT MOTORISTS. PAY
Sinceregistration fees on auto-
mobile. and gasoline taxation have
been introduced in Canada, the
motorists :of the Dominion have paid
out a sunt equal to 85.1 per cent. of
the net national debt and 15.55 per
cent. of the national debt including
the railway debt. Present official
figures show that the gross national
debt is $2,764,964,297. Of this the
railway . debt for the National Sys-
tem- amounts to $1,536,073,758. Since
automobiles were introduced into
Canada and the provincial govern-
ments started collecting registration
fees, and later gasoline taxes, motor-
ists have paid, altogether, $430,224,-
510 which, on the basis of present
registration figures, amounts to
slightly ..less than $430 per motor
vehicle.

HIGH DESTINY FOR A TINY SEED
THAT FELL ON A COWICHAN HILLSIDE
erage •grew into a tiny seedling, and
of these seedlings, possibly one in
ten survived the first year. The tall
masts now on their way to England
were two of the lucky ones.
As the forest grew, the seedlings
surged up .a thousand or so to the
acre, as thick as hair on a dog's
back—little Christmas trees such as
you see along the Island Highway
today, each trying to grow higher
than its .neighbors fighting for the
precious sunlight. ' The fight was
fierce and relentless and went on for
half a century. By the time the two
trees that were to make kingly
masts had grown 50 feet in height
and a foot or so through the butt,
most of 'their neighbors had died,
starved for lack of light in this up-
ward surge toward the sun. Only the
strongest
could survive, only one tree
from .ten thousand of the seeds that
fell on the hillside.
For another century, the survivors
grew slowly, while the weak fell to
the ground to sink back once more
into the earth and enrich it. Before
white teen came to the island the
Ring's masts were sizeable trees and
they continued to add one tiny ring
of thickness about their trunks every
year, until they were mature and
ready for reaping—ready to carry
great white wings of canvas on a
royal vessel at the other side of the
world.
A high destiny, tb.is for a tiny
seed that fell upon a mountainside a
couple of centuries ago.

of Cowichan Lake the other day and

attend. All former C.E.T. Cyclists
who are interested should write to

A Cow h Just a Cow
Does the average person who
tenr.AJAR fair miss , -the .point? 'Th
Stratford fair is thiro`ugh for anotiie
year and while it was going 011 ther
was plenty of opportunity to get
fair enough idea of what the peopl
went to see. Of course, they g
through what are termed the mai
buildings, and that is fine. The crow
flocks to the midway and there i
seems to stick. It wants amusement
and a chance to play games where i
is known in advance that the man be-
hind the counter is always winnin
no matter what happens to his cus-
tomers. .A. loser may feel the gam
is not fair, but he knows in advanc
he is trying wits with a sharpe
man. , But there they flock.
On several occasions there was op-
portunity to go through the shed
where there were housed. hogs
sheep; beef and dairy cattle, and not
at any time was it noticed there was
anything like a crowd. Just a few
interested people looking around. It
may have been that the people who
went to the stock sheds were the
ones who should have gone, but their
number was always small compared
with the crowds elsewhere.
And yet back in those sheds were
the sources of our bacon and ham, our
lard, sausage and spare ribs; our
supply of milk was represented there,
and our butter, cheese and our sup-
ply of meat. here were animals there
for which w100 or $800 had been paid;
there were others which were not
for sale on account of their worth
in a herd. In the sheds was the bas-
is of the good breeding which is mak_
ing livestock an industry instead of
a sideline.
The average person might say he
or she did not know anything about
such things. and therefore would not
be interested. .A. pig is just a pig, and
a cow just a cow. Truth is there are
people there nearly all the time,
herdsmen, breeders and farnier_exhi_
biters, and they would be only to
pleased to tell the inquiring person
