No less than sixteen charges were laid under the Criminal Code. There was not one 'drunk' during the month of August.—Zurich Herald. .Clinton Man, 87, Enjoys Ride '• Friday was aviation day in Clinton. A scheme sponsored by local merch- ants enabled their customers to en- joy a flight for the nominal sum of 98 cents. Capt. Gillies, of Stratford, took up about 90 passengna and there were still patrons awaiting their turn when he -decided to call it a day and postponed further flights un- til Saturday morning, An added at- -traction was a parachute descent by -`Barney" Bristow. Ori delighted passenger was J. Shobbrook, of Lon- tdes,boro, a mere youngster of 87 years, who is Capt. Gillies' oldest pas- senger .to date.—Zurich Herald.

Knox Choir Picnic The a 1 picnic of the choir of Knox 0 h .was held at Bogie's 'Beach on ursday last. More than thirty members of the choir were present and 'spent an enjoyable af- ternoon in the water and on the sand. Supper was prepared and served at the summer cottage of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Saunders and later in the ev- ening a bonfire was built and games and contests were enjoyed. Several camipers at the beach accepted an in- vitation to join the party and' a :num- ber of impromptu acts addled to the gaiety of the evening. In a short ad - .dress Rev. D. J. 'Lane voiced the re- gret with which the choir learned of -the intended departure of Mrs. H. K. 'Revell, who was to leave shortly for Woodstock, where Mr. Revell is now 3ocated. ,Mrs. Revell has been a val- ued worker in various departments of the church and will be greatly missed. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Saunders and with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" the gathering was brought to close.--Goderich Funeral of Mrs. Alfred Scotchmer The death occured Wednesday morning at the home of her brother- in-law, Mr. M. J. Butler, the Bayfield Line, of Mrs. Alfred A. Scotchmer„ in her forty-seventh yeae. Mrs. Scotchmer had been in failing health for some years and early in the summer was obliged to undergo a !very ,slerious operation. She rallied somewhat and it was hoped that she might again enjoy a:t least partially restored health, but suddenly she began to sink and death brought an end to her sufferings. Mr. and Mrs. ISeotchrner have Ibeen in `Ulla west, fpr some years, only coming east a cou- ple or three months ago.

Cann, had a, narrow escape from a fatal accident on Sat- urday evening when he was 'knocked down and run over by an ititeinobile. The little lad was across the road from. his' father's service station and as his father was in the act of start- ing his own car, the child anxious for a ride, made a dash to cross the street and darted in front of a car going north. Re was struck by the bumper of the car and knocked to the pavlement and the car passed ov- er him but fortunately 'he wag not touched by the wheels. He suffered a nasty scalp wound and was bruised and •scratched about the body. Dr. Dunlop was the attendingephysician. The lad was confined to his bed for a couple of days hut is again able to be around. The driver of the car which hit the boy was from Londe.sfboro and was returning to his home from the Chicago Fair.

Waffles—Morning, Noon or Night The next time you sit down to plan the day's meals and.' have an attack of that tired-of-the-aarrii?"-old-thing feeling,, take a look around at equip- ment and utensils. • Of course you know what's there, but look at 'things anyway and, with some imagination, as if you have never seen them be- fore. , You will get a lot of ideas, perhaps more than you can use right away. We know, because we tried this and took hardly more than a peep into the cupIboard and there was the waffle iron. At once, we knew•that we did not use that waf- fle iron nearly as much as we Might. ' •Perhaps plain waffles do not appeal to you as something new or differ- ent. In that case; let's add some- thing tol, the batter or bake some - tiring in the iron that is not a waffle batter at all. We shall start with a mlaebnpurTsaving luncheon or sup,pet Bran Corn Meal Waffles with Bacon Butter ' Syrup (if desired) Quartered. Tomatoes French Dressing Hot or Iced Beverage. !There is a real secret about the waffle recipe. It. is just a corn bread mixture. You can use almost any corn -bread recipe you like, provided it is h rather thin batter. Add a lit- tle milk or water to thin if necessary. 'This recipe was pronounced just right by all who tried,it. We liked it especially because it Is almost a meal in itself. Both the bacon and bran add flavor and nourishment. No other meat is ceded and the bran supplies sufficient fiber to balance the meal in this respect. The best 'part for the cook is that these waffles are fun to make 'and there are very few dishes to wash af- terwards. Bran Corn Meal Waffles With Bacon. 2 eggs (beaten slightly) c -up sugar 1,4 cup bran 1 cup corn meal •1 cup milk % cup flour % 'teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baki77g powder 4 slices bacon (diced). IComfhine eggs and sugar thorough-. ly; add briff, corn meal and milk. 'Sift dry ingredients together and add to first mixture. Preheat waffle iron. Sprinkle a tablespon of diced bacon op the hot iron and fry, until par- tially cooked. Pour on batter. Close iron and bake until nicely browned. Note: Grease the top of the waf- fle iron before baking the first waf- file. !After that no greasing will be needed. . !Yield: 6 waffles. JD.ther mixtures suitable for wal- es are cake batters that are not too rich such as ginger, spice, chocolate or 'Slain butter cakes. These waffles are delicious as dessert, or for tea and party refreshments. Sprinkle with powdered' sugar or cinnamon and sugar. Cookies, too, can be bak- ed in the waffle iron. 'Serve them hot right from' the iron for a real treat. Corn Flake Waffle Cookies.

IA few suggestions for making "plain» waffles different and also fancy are: Add to your favorite waffle batter batter vegetables, such as corn, grated raw 'carrots or sweet pota- toes; berries, shredded pineapple, chopped cherries, dates, figs, citron; minced ham, cooked sausage or bacon; grated cheese; &gapped ,nuts; critip cereals or !bran. flVfake Texaswaffles by substituting !brown for white sugar and placing over the batter a few whole pecan meats just !before closing the irate Sprinkle the batter with shredded' cocoanut to make toasted cocoanut waffles.

" 4 1: • . .A4 HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN.MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA YOUR WEIGHT "Is it worth while making an ef- fort to Control my weight?" is a question which each one should ask himself. The ccmtrol of your body Weight is entirely your responsibil- •ity• no one else can do this for you. it is worth while to make the ef- fortabecaase experience has hown that, as a group, those who are either unduly over or under the average weight for their sex, age and height are not as healthy as they should be, neither are they as free from disease nor do they live as long -as those who are of practically average. weight. There is an individual variation. 'The family whose members are, in. general Over or- under weight, are not in this condition because of here- dity, but rather because of the eat- ing habits of the family. The over- weighe family is made up of heavy eaters, the children having 'in their eating habits, followed the example set, by their 'parents. The reverse is trite as regards the under -weight family. [Height is influenced. heredity. Tall parents are likely to have tall chil- dren, but the amoUrit of fat which is stored up depends upon the amount of food 'eaten and not uipon heredity. This again is an individual matter, for the bodies of some use up more food than others, but the individual who is adding up weight and is thus storing up fat, is simply eating more food than his body can use. fit does not pay in a health sense, to be fat, nor is ""iti desirable to be too thin. After forty it is better to be slightly below the average weight (but because slenderness is healthy, it does not fellow that to beemaciat- ed is good for the health and well- being of the individual concerned. The best (weight for any person is thiat weight at which he feels best and at which he enjoys the largest measure of health. In practice, it will be found that this optLmun weight is not far fronr theTaverage figures la.s given in the pulells,hed height -tend -weight charts. • 'Having decided that it is worth while to control your weight, the next question is "How can it be done?" The answer lies in watching your food intake. In order to increase weight, use more butter, fats, crea.m, sugar and cereals.. To lose weight, reduce the use of those foods men- tioned for increasing weight, and satisfy yourself with fruits and veg- etables in then' place. In all cases, a balanced diet must be eaten, or harm will be done. This is the rea- son why faddy diets are dangerous. Nature Cries For Help Nature cries for help! Help a- gainst Man silo systematically de- stroys, despoils and uglifies her. The losses suffered by the flora and fauna of the world during the past few decades are inestimable. The names of nature's enemies are legion. Fortunately for mankind, the lov- ers of nature have finally awakened to the danger and are beginning to rally in her defence. A growing op- position, against the blind invasion and destruction of nature by jams - try is making itself felt in all coun- tries: opposition against aimless de- forestation.; the poisoning of rivers with industrial waste, the disfigure- ment of picturesque spots with chim- neys and hideous ,advertising posters, and 'other activities of a similar kind. 'It is indeed figh time that a corn - promise he found !between economid necessity and our duties toward na- ture.

McLean Bros., Publishers - stroy anything that is not of immedi- ate need to man, There is no excuse for a civiliza- tion as advancedas ours for thus de- liberately ignoring the dangers in- herent in such a situation. The blind extermination' of species may well lead in the end not only to the de- struction of our civilization but of mankind itself. We hear often en- ough that such or such an aniinal or 'bird is useless, that it has no pur- pose in the general scheme of life. Yet who knows whether this or that little animal whom in our mad blind- ness we have caused to diSapppear was not the only suitable one for the pro- duction ofsome healing serum, or a remedy that might have relieved hu- manity from part of its sufferings. Even a modest plant may be of in- valuable service to man. Think of that little known variety of salsify, recently discovered by Russian „sci- entists and containing a substince thatean be made to supply the non- tropical countries with rubber and finis render scores of millions of people economically independent! Or of the Brazilian sugar plant the sweetening capacity of which is 360 times superior to that, of the sugar cane! It is imperative that we seek and find remedies apt to stop this whole- sale destruction. Not contenting OUT - selves with the preservation of spe- cies in zoological and botanical gar- dens, we must strive to protect them on the spot, in their natural habitat. In the colonies of all great powers the hunting of big game is the object of strict regulations. Unfortunately, these laws .exist only on paper in a good many places. In the French col- onies, especially, they are not impos- ed withthedeeira'ble• severity with the result that wild life there is be- coming rapidly extinct. In the Brit- ish and Dutch colonies the supervi- sion is stricter, penalties more severe and the results, therefore, more grat- ifying. The increased number of game makes hunting mere attractive. More people apply for licenses and the increased revenue from the fees helps to defray the expense for the control and protection.

It. fa used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no fear of indigestion. Egyptian Sudan, for. example, where this supervision is in the hands of professionally trained naturalists. A valuable method is the insti- tution of national parks or game -- and bird—sanctuaries, where not only hunting ieeforbidden, but also fishing and collecting ,of anitpal, veg- etable and mineral specimens. The prohibition is either absolute, as in the Swiss National Park, or tempor- ary and allowing of 'certain excep- tions. However, it does not exclude the right to suppress or remove non - autochthonous plants and animal species, the presence of which may in the long run prove prejudicial to. the normal development of the spec- ies belonging to the sanctuary's na- tural flora and fauna. One of the nature -lover's chief con- cerns is the fate of millions of sea- birds, cruelly destroyed by the heavy oil which the ships discharge into the s'ea. The grease forms a thick layer on the surface of the water, isolating 'it from the air and thus killing all its inhabitants, as well as their eggs, larvae and offspring.Above all, however, it causes the -wholesale de- struction of birds. The pltimage of these unfortunate creatures becomes so pasted with the oil that they -can- not use their wings and die almost instantly. 'Following the initiative of the British government, many ships now carry special oil -separators on hoard which make the discharge less dan- gerous to the inhabitants of the seas. A species threatened with immin- ent extinction is the Madagascar tur- tle: Only 15 years ago, these turtles abounded on the- island and were con- riclered sacred. by the natives. Now the natives are more "enlightenefd." Many of them were- soldiers in the world war and have cast off their superstitions and prejudice. They think nothing- of killing and eating their former gods and the turtle is now disappearing rapidly. Australia is the only continent where marsupials still survive, al- though several of these highly inter- esting species have become extinct as a result of wholesale extermina- tion for commercial purposes. The koala, for example, which is a fas- cinating little animal, was killed at the rate of half a million a month for its fur. A protective legislation ha's now bean adopted by the govern- ment, forbidding the hunting of the koala. iW'hen one bears in mind that in the Belgian Congo from 20,000 to 40,- 000 40,- 000 Elephants are captured and killed every year, in spite of the depres- sion, it is easy to imagine the fate awaiting the unfortunate pachyderms when times get better. The same distressing situation prevails in other districts of Africa. The statistics of the Uganda Protectorate, which are more reliable than those of the other districts, offer a goad, basis for judg- ing the situation. bf a total stock of 18,700 heads an average of 1,200 are killed every year by licensed hunters.' Apart from these official ekecutions, numerous elephants are killed 'by poachees and natives, drown- ed and burned in the bush fires or die of disease and natural death. 'As the normal life -span of an elephant averages. 120 years and the female does not bear before the age of 80, there are only about 5,550 fa - males available in Uganda for pur- poses of propagation. But a female elephant'has only one baby every five years, so that in ten years' time the increase would, amount to 11,000. heads, while during the same period there would be about 15,000 or 18,000 killed or dead animals.' The loss is, therefore. by no means compensated, by the gain. The large Indian rhinoceros is near extinction. It is hunted for its horn which fetches fantastic prices. The best buyers are the Chinese who are said to, manufacture a secret and ap- parently highly efficacious medicine from it. The number of pure bison in Eur- ope is not higher than 61: 32 cows and 29 bulls. They are religiously. guarded and protected in the German National Park of Springs. There is a plan to import a few American bis - ons and to cross them with the pure European species. as their offspring would be pure and merge with the original species after the seventh generation. There is no end to the list of crea- tures—and plants—that are threaten- ed with destruction. To obviate this danger an effort, proportionate to the magnitude of the task, has become an urgent need. Second Series Bacon Litter Competition, 1933 The Ontario Live Stock Brandt has recently announced a second ser- ies Bacon Litter Competition for sows farrowing between September 1st and October 31st, 1933.
