HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1946-10-24, Page 2�1L u OF ' �C L' i By Gwendoline P. Clarke It seem: age's since this time last week—maybe because so much has happened in such a little while. And by that I don't mean events of world shaking importance but just ordinary everyday happenings such as may occur in almost any home but which, in our cast, seem to have crowded themselves into one short week. There were several meetings which just had to be at- tended, two quiltings and a bazaar. Our Second Neice was also still staying with us and there were pre- parations that had to be made for week -end guests. And then, to make things a little more compli- cated, starting Friday night, there was a twenty-four hour rain. And the -rain was so. awfully wet! Of course we needed it everything was so desperately dry, but it did seem a pity that it had to come on a holiday week -end. ("Oh, you are farmers—you are never satisfied"— is that what you said?. * * * To tell you the truth Friday night was a little wet in more ways than one. That was the night our Insti- tute was holding a bazaar, which .* was to be followed by a quiz pro- gram to be put on by a well known commercial party. The bazaar went off all right. Even though it was pouring with rain quite a number of people turned out to buy and to stay for the quiz program which was scheduled to take place at nine o'clock, Well, nine o'clock came— nitie fifteen, nine thirty, nine forty- five—with every minute dragging like an hour—and still no sign of our entertainers. To describe the situation a: embarrassing is to put it mildly. Of course everyone eventually went home and what really happened to our program I have ye,- to learn. However, it wasn't a matter of life or death, so no doubt the whole affair will eventually be forgiven and for- gotten. Our next worry is threshing, and, in anticipation of the needs of a bunch of hungry men I have just finished baking pies. Yes, pies is what I said. Maybe you remember that last time we threshed I had only a couple of hours notice and could buy neither ptes nor the shortening to make them. But I wasn't caught napping a second time. No sir, I have been hoarding a pound of lard for several weeks, waiting for just such an emergency, * * In writing how does one indicate sleep? I don't know, so I can't do it. But if I could draw I would illustrate this with an unlovely picture of a smallish room, a type- writer table at one end, a woman resting her head on one arm at the desk—fast asleep—and the clock pointing to twelve midnight. And the woman would be myself, be- cause that is what happened last night. I left my typing until every- one else hz d gone to bed and that is what happened. Oh well, it is now only six a.m. The threshers won't be here for another four hours. There is still plenty of time —all I have to do is finish this, get breakfast, feed chickens, go to town, do some shopping, come back, wash dishes, and dish it up to ten or eleven hungry men. It will all get done, with Second Neice to help me. The men of course will be busy outside — Partner getting things ready for the machine to come in, Bob away to a neighbour's thresh- ing. And so it goes. But after threshing we can really feel the season's work is done. And won't that be a grand and glorious feel- ing! But it won't suit everybody. It most decidedly won't suit certain small boys who have been corning up from town the last few days to catch pigeons in the barn. When the mows are empty it will be im- possible for them to get at them. They were such nice wee boys. Each time they came they would come to the house for permission to go to the barn—which I thought was rather wonderful, and a proof of good training in regard to re- specting other people's property. They said they wanted the pigeons for pets. Immediately my mind travelled back a few years when we had youngsters who also liked to catch pigeons for pets. And they certainly do make good pets—if they are looked after properly. But The Machine Doesn't Peel 'Eau A new potato harvester which can harvest 25 acres daily, lift two rows of potatoes as it goes along, separate potatoes from the stems and ground, sort them according to size and throw them into bas- kets, has been designed by the institute of Agricultural Research in Moscow, Moscow radio announc- ed today.

Along the Hudson Bay Railway line from The Pas for about 200 miles toward Churchill, beaver are operating in a big way. Their con- sidered opinion seems to be that railway engineers didn't put the culverts in the right places. This summer they have been plugging them up with disastrous results to the road bed. Solution is Deportation Game wardens and section men have tried all kinds of schemes to change beaver plans. At three points along the line they placed fantastically contrived scarecrows which didn't scare the beavers at all. They just pulled down the scarecrows, took the material, and used it to plug more culverts. The game conservation branch has tried everything short of poison but their efforts have been fruitless. Known chemical repellents were used without success. Now chem - lists have been asked to prepare new ones. The only immediate solution in sight was to deport then and this is what is being done. A few weeks ago 14 were flown •from the Hud- son Bay Railway line to Moulson Lake and Norway House, about 125 miles away. Good News, Children This may be good news for child- ren but it's bad for American manufacturers. George W. Mason, president of Nash -Kelvinator Corp., said last week that castor oil is in short supply. He said the United States castor oil supply comes largely from Brazilian castor beans. Castor oil is an essential ingredient of automobile brake and shock ab- sorber fluid.

Foreign Minis- ter Molotov, expressing displea- sure with the treaties, accused the United States of leading a group of countries with the desire to domin- ate and dictate. The Foreign Ministers' Council will start consideration of the treaties in New York on Nov. 4. The time and place of talks will be discussed; they probably' will be in London next January.

Bushworkers Strike A strike which may affect ail bush operations in the vast north- ern Ontario districts of Cochrane and Thunder Bay and stretch down into Algoma has begun. So far it is not known how many of the 12,000 men employed in camps in the districts have joined the walkout because of lack of communications with most of the camps in remote areas. W. A. Delahaye, of the Ontario Forest Industries A3s'ci?tion, speaking for the operators, said the employers are not certain of the issues. A spokesman for the Leimber and Sawmill Workers' Union (A.F.L.) said the men wanted a $5 a day minimum wage, anion recognition and improved living conditions. Mr. Delahaye said wages were based largely on piece work rates and that an average workman made $7 a day with more skilled men making up to $10. He said the companies planned'. to have 20,000 men in the bush in _ the next few weeks, with winter operations just ready to hit the;r stride.

U.S. Meat Problem "All price controls on livestock, and food and feed products there- from," wt re ordered lifted by President Truman and they will be sold from now on without ceil- ings, The President, in a radio talk to the nation, laid the blame for the meat shortage "squarely on a few men in Congress who. in the service of selfish interest" were determined "to wreck price con- trols no matter what might be the cost to our people." The meat industry served notice that removal of controls would not mean much more meat in the im- mediate future. Cattle are not too plentiful, "pipelines" must be re filled and retail stocks replenished, it was said.

Robbed of Sleep by Rheumatic Pain But No Pain Now—After a Few Weeks of Kruschen A woman's gratitude at being rid of "such dreadful pains" caused her to write this letter:— "I used to have such dreadful pains in my knees, ankles and shoulders, to say nothing of my back, which used to feel as. though it would break. I had no ease, especially at night ... but since taking Kruschen Salts for a few weeks only, I feel a different woman, thank goodness. I have. no pains now. I feel much brighter and better in every way, and shall certainly continue with Kruschen."—(Mrs.) M.H. Most rheumatic pain and swelling is caused by too much uric acid in the ody. These painful deposits settle in the muscles, joints and tendons, irritate the nerves, and inflame the tissues. Kruschen Salts acts on these pain -making deposits by helping your system to disperse them and to pass them out of your body. This relieves the pain and if you are wise, you will continue with the little morning dose of Kruschen as a help against further attacks. Try Kruschen for the relief of rheumatic psi',' and lumbago. 25c and 75c at your nearest drug store. l\Text time you see a neighbor, or one of the fellows who works with you on your job, tell yourself: "He's a mighty lucky man—and so am I." We all are, here in Canada. Yet "lucky" isn't quite the word for a people who have the common sense and courage to look at the high prices of many unessential things and say: "This price is too high. I won't pay it." No, it isn't luck. It's character.. It's what The House of Seagram has been proud to extol as a Canadian virtue—the ability of the Canadian people to be moderate in allthings—in their thinking, in their actions and in their habits. Nobody's just "lucky" here in Canada; we've just all helped to make ourselves that way. And because today's moderation is the key to tomorrow's abundance, the people of Canada can look forward with certainty to an abundant tomorrow.
