A Real Celebration.
•
Not many children can boast of a
• vise -r, egal visit, teldiers parading and
bands playing on one's birthday. Of
course it was only a Coincidence, but
a fourteen -year-old boy suoh as 'toss
Pennington, son of 1\' r. and Mrs.,,
Ohas. .Pei dngton, Elgin Avenue,
could. easily play at m+ake-Ibelieve and
share the celebration on Thursday
last with their Excellencies the Earl
and Countess of Bessborough. To
tamely the finishing touch of a thrill-
ing and memloralble day, for Ross was
one of the Scouts reviewed by ,His
Excellency, a surprise party was giv-
en in honor of the youngster's 'Birth-
day by a group of his friends. Af-
ter the birthday supper an improzmp-
tu program was put on by the guests•
on an improvised stage. The various
number's included guitar and hers
monica selections and vocal solos and
duets. It was a• very ,pleasant birth-
day indeed for Ross and one that he
will remember for a long time.—God-
erich Signal.
Mrs. Joseph Salkeld Injured.
.!Citizens will be sorry to learn of
the painful" accident which llefel Mrs.
▪ Joseph Salkeld, Picten Street, last
Saturday night. While the Hydro
service was out of commission and
Ther home in dankness, Mrs. Salkeld
:mistook the stairway for the bath-
room door and plunged down the 1.9
steps to the bottom.-- Both arms were
fractured and numerous bruise's and
lacerations received in addition to a
..severe shaking -up. She was attend-
ed by Drs. Whitely and Graham and
its being cared for by her daughter,
Mrs. Roy Rundle, a trained nurse. The
patient is reported to be making sat-
isfactory progress.—Goderich Star.
Potato Crop Small.
Potatoes are selling for $1.25 a bag
in Goderich, but some farmers are
asking $1.50 and are not anxious to
sell them at any price. An estimate
by theDominion Department of Ag-
riculture places the total yield of pot-
atoes in Canada this year at 40,260,-
k'00 cwt. from 52.0,800 acres. This
estimate is approximately, one million
hundredweight higher than the total
yield in 1932. The Ontario crop is
lighter this year but production is up
in New Brunswick, Quebec and Prince
Edward Island. The Ontario yield
per acre this year is the .lowest since
1916.—eGoderich Star.
Former Pastor Dies.
Word was received in Exeter last'
week of the death of Rev. Martin J.
Wilson, a former pastor of the James
Street United Church, who died at
his home in San. Leandro, Calif., on
October 1st. About• two years ago ,
Mr, Wilson met with • •an auto acci-
dent and: up tintil his death he suf- '
fered from, the effects. He was tak-'
en ill on the Wednesday previous to
bis death passing away on Sunday.'
'He is survived by his bereaved widow.'
In July,. 1919, Rev. Mr. Wilson came
to the James Street United Church
as pastor from Hamilton, succeeding
the Rev. J. W. Baird.. After preach-
ing here for about four years 'Mr..
Wilson went to Amherstburg and
was succeeded by Rev. W. E. Don-
nelly. Mr. Wilson retired from ac-
tive ministry in 1925 aM has not been
preaching steady since. — Exeter

Trapped in Blazing Car. •
What might have proved a very
serious accident took place on High-
way No. 4 two and a half miles south
of Exeter, on Saturday evening.
About six o'clock Mr. Rudolph Etue,
of the Bluewater 'Highway, . near
Drysdale, and his bride of less than
a week, were returning 'from their
'honeymoon trip when they came up-
on four 'horses that had wandered
onto the highway at Devon corner.
In attempting to avgid hitting them
the car left the road and 'overturned
into the ditch. Fire started under
the hood of the engine and Mr. and
Mrs. Etue were unable to emerge
from their . perilous position as the
doors on the upper side of .the car
were jammed tight. .Mr. Well. Kers-
lake, who was passing at the time,
pried the door open and effected their
the two nserr have agreed to settle
the damages. The accident was in-
vestigated by Traffic Officer Norman
Lever and 'Constable J. Norry,--Exe-

Child Violinist Gets Tour
Josephine Make, the outstanding
little child violinist, well known to
musicians of Huron •county, is receiv-
ing such praise in 'Toronto that she
is reputed by musicians and critics
to be Canadazs greatest child (violin-
ist, and has no.w (been offered a con•, -
cert tour of the States. Josephine;
who received her first little instru-
ment attwo and a half years, by
five had started winning gold medals
and became a familiar figure at mus-
ical festivals through the county. At
nine she won more awards on the
violin than any child her age. While
her parents have not yet sanctioned
the promising U. S. tour owing to
Josephine's extreme youth, her many
many friends of Zurich will be glad
to hear of her great success. Zurich

Serious Accident
Little •Dorothy'MeGee, who only a
short time ago had such a narrow
escape from at least serious injury
by falling into a well, had another
bad accident on Saturday, when in
some way she ran against her
mother, who wascarrying some. soup
to the table. The soup tipped and
fell en. the little girl's shoulder,
scalding it quite severely. The many
friends of the family will the pleased
to know that although Dorothy has a
very sore arm, •'she is doing as well
as can be expected.—iBlyth Standard.
:Wingham Youth Shot in Hunting
Accident.
Arthur McEwen, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. McEwen, of Wingham, acci-
dently shot+ himself Monday after -
'noon while .shootieng squirrels. One
of the frisky animals ran into a log,
in an old building when Arthur un-
dertook to frighten it out by tapping
the log, but in doing so he caught
the gun by the 'muzzle, using the
stock, when the jar discharged the
gun and he received the fall charge
in the left leg. Dr. H. W. Osborne
attended the injured troy and had him
'aken to the local hospital, where he
is resting quite comfortably,—aBrus-

Suffer's Second Stroke
'Milton Rands, well known farmer,
of the 12th Concession of Grey, is
in bed in a critical condition suffer-
ing front a stroke which ' overtook
hien while at -work on 'Monday morn-
ing. In conversation with Dr. Mc•-
Master, the attending physician, he
:stated that Mr. Rands will reach the
crisis in two or three days. It was
just about a year ago that he suf-
fered from a stroke and .wKs just on
his way to recovery when this sec-
ond one attacked him. His many
friends in the district will be anxious
to know of his progress and all wish
him, the best of health within a short
tine.—Brussels Post.
TUCKERSMITH
(Intended for last week.)
Mrs. Thomas Coleman received the
sad news last 'Saturday morning of
the death of her brother-in-law, Mr.
Mahlan A. race, of Forest Nook, Ont,,

John Troyer, of Hillsgreen. Mr. and
Mrs. Themes Coleman, Mr. and Mrs.
Cecil Oke and Mrs, James Troyer, all
of Seaforth, and Mrs. James Wright

Potat Yield
The preliminary estimate of the
total yield of potatoes in 'Canada this
year is 40,260,000 cwt. from 520,800

A WORD TO TRAVELLERS
... about Funds
It is desirable when travelling abroad to carry Travellers' Cheques
and Letters of Credit rather than any considerable sum of
cash. Apart from, the extra risk it entails, Canadian currency
carried abroad involves exchange, with consequent delays and
inconvenience.
Letters of Credit and Travellers' Cheques issued by The Dominion
Bank are honoured in United States, Great Britain, Continental
urope, and throughout the world. Our nearest branch manager
will gladly arrange your requirements. Consult him.

+(By H. McEwen, iHensall)
Il r. 'Hugh'Meaften returned recent-
ly from his European trip, going over
on the S. S. .Montrose about the lat-
ter part of, August, in six and one-
half days from Montreal to Greengch.
ITlle Irish passengers got off at Bel-
fast, the Scotch at •G+reenoch, and the
English going on to Liverpool. Green-
och surely looked fine and green that
mlornin'g when we landed. There we
took the train to Glasgow, which is
the seeond city of the Empire noted
for its great shipbuilding, on the
Clyde and manufacturing. It also
has a fine lot of big dray horses.
After finding a good hotel to stay at
for a few days and looking over the
city, we took one of the travel coach-
es that go on tours all over Scot-
land, to the beauty spots from Glas-
gow.
The first one took us on a tour to
Loch Lomond, the Trossachs, Loch
Katrine, Aberfgyle, Callander, Jarvie,
Nichol's Hotel and a lot of other fine
places and we saw (very fine scenery,
Sir Walter Scott's country and Rob
Roy's also.
Then the next we took in was
Stirling, the field of Banhockburn,
Stirling Castle and Sir William Wal -
lace's fine monumient on a high hill.
There were a lot of war relics there
and his famous sword in a glass case.
Then 'next day we visited Edinburgh,
Hollyrood Palace, where Mary Queen
of. ,Scotts used to live. Edinburgh
Ctastle is built on a great rock, four
or five hundred feet high. The guides
take you through and give a descrip-
tion of everything, and the great
Scottish ' war memorial is built there,
too, for the men of the Scottish Regi-
ntents who fell in the Great War—
one of the finest to be seen anywhere,
and there are a lot of fine ones all
over the British Isles, and London has
some fine ones too.
They show their good workman-
ship in everything they build in Bri-
tain. Everything is 'built to last for
a long time. The houses are sruostly
stone or brick with elateor tile
roofs. They even build the :stacks of
grain eery straight and thatch all
over the tap to keep the rain out.
They have a lot of stone fences and
hedges and same wire fences, and a
lot of reforestry or trees planted
out. They use mostly one-horse
carts to draw everything on the
farm. They have very fine grals+s
there; the stock do better on it than,
ours in Canada—lots of fine horses,
cattle and sheep grazing on it. Af-
ter a few more days in Glasgow I
took the train for the Highlands up
north, Inverness is a fine city, not
far from Sossimontee the home of
Premier Ramsay .McDonald — then
Fort Rose, Fort George, a ,military
station; that is where you get the
fine pure air off the North Sea—it is
surely the rock bound shores of Scot-
land. Up there they say the High-
land Scotch can live on the rocks,
but they seen to live very well, as
there is good farming land there.
iRosemarsie is a town not far
from Fort Rose. Near there . is
where my mother's people came from,
the Mustards, when they emigrated
to Canada with a shipload of Scotch
settlers from Ross and Cromarty in
the year 1849, in one of the old sail -
vessels. They were tossed albout on
the Atlantic Ocean for some weeks,
driven' back by head winds and storms
and after a while the fresh water
and provisions•ran low. After eleven
weeks . on the water :they reached
Quebec, but the pioneers were hardy
people as they had to be.
After a week up north I took the
train for Glasgow again and the next -
day I took the Royal Scot train for
London. 'It runs from Edinburgh to
London with few stops in seven hours,
a distance of about four hundred
miles. The Lowlands of Scotland are
very- good farming lands as is most
of England. Carlyle is near the bor-
der. I did not call at Liverpool this
time, having, ..-stayed there three
weeks one -a -former occasion some
years ago, going over in a cattle boat
that time. There is fine scenery in
England all the way down—fine' roads
and drives and the hills in the dist-
ance.
'About six o'clock we pulled into
the great Euston. Station, London,
the largest city • in the world, a vast
metropolis of over eight million peo-
ple, and an Englishman told me
if you take in the suburbs around it
m'a'kes ten or twelve million. In Lon-
don they have underground railways
all over the city; some go under the
river Thames, so you can get around
the city quickly. Some of the fine
sights are Lester Square, Trafalgar
Square, Nelson's fine monument and
the Four Big Lions, St. 'Paul's Cath-
edral, Crystal Palace, Buckingham.
Palace, St. James' Palace—that is
where the Royal Household Cavalry
change guard every day at eleven
o'clook and the King's bodyguard
changes also. The Irish Guards were
on duty the day I saw them. There
Are fine driveways and parks in front
of the palaces than near the River
Thames. W'es'tminster Abbey, where
most of the nobility are burried, the
parliament Buildings and Big Ben,
the great clock tower—always a lot
of visitors going through., There are
also a number of fine museums and
theatres in the city ; then the
London Bridge, the Tower Bridge and
a number of other bridges over the
Thames River and the old Tower of
London. The guides took you
through. The White Tower is filled
with armour of all kinds --guns,
swords, spears, coats of mail, gun
carriages—the•one that carried Queen
Victoria and the one that carried
King Edward VPI to their Tag rest-
ing place, and a lot of other relics of
loetg ago.
The Jewel (House is filled with the
crown jewels, six or seven crowns,
and swords and septres, gold dishes,
all 'glittering in gold and diamonds.
The Bloody Tower is where they us-
ed to execute the prisoners long ago.
London has thousands of street cars
and 'busses, all two stories high, and
thousands of policemen, nearly all six
feet tall or over, and you could put
in a month sightseeing in London,
and then some—a number of rail-
way stations 'all over the city and
eMut'.E'4x'mf:Hw>ir..,w4i.G�aitiAsa¢
kn
hundreds of electric trains ru\anin+g.
There is not nearly somuch drink-
ing done in Britain as there used to
be, the Government put such a heavy
tax on the liquor thatit raised the
price of it twd. or threetimes or
higher than it used to be, so many
of the people can't afford to drink
so much now. •After a week in Lon-
don I took the train at 'Victoria sta-
tion for a tour through +France, Paris,
and other places which was very fine,
going by the New Haven Duppe
route. The channel is sixty ,miles
wide there—three hours by boat. In
Scotland you get oatmeal porridge
for breakfast; in England, always
hani •and eggs, and in Paris, bread,
butter and tea. Then back to Lon-
don again. A lot of the visitors say
it is hard to get away from London.
Then down to Portsmouth, which
city is a great naval base, where you
see Lord Nelson's old flagship, the
Victory, of 100 guns, kept in good re-
pair. The guide took you all through
the ship, and a brass plate on the
deck marks the spot where Nelson
fell mortally wounded at the Battle
of Trafalgar on the 21st of October,
1805. Then over to 'Southampton,
the great shipping port, at the south
of England, where all the biggest
ships come in, some of them over 91)0
feet long. It was a fine sight to see
the Majestic, the largest ship, 960
feet long and about 100 feet wide,
lifted on the great floating dry dock
right up out of the water by com-
pressed air. Seutthampton hes an;
army of dock workers... While wait-
ing there a few days for the boat,
visitors are surprised to seethe vast
amount of Argentine meat coming in-
to England. Britain ships her goods
to .Argentine without much duty and
Argentine ships her beef and 'mutton
into England by the thousands of tons
every year in cold storage ships from
South America. All the big wihole-
sale ships are filled every morning
with beef and mutton from Argen-
tina-eethousands of quarters. That is
all sold to the local butchers and they
sell it to the people, and by that time
it is a pretty good price:• A good
many wish we could sell our Canad-
ian cattle like that. We ran hardly
sell our cattle at any price here; we
have to give them away' at half price
`to get rid of them; they get far' more
for their stock in Britain—over twice
as much as we get in Canada—and
Denmark seems to have a strong
hold on the bacon market, shipping
in, the equal of one hundred and
twenty-five thousand bacon hogs into
Britain every week.
/Boarding the Empress of Britain,
we sailed foe Canada. She is one of
the largest and fastest ships on the
ocean, making the trip from Cher-
beteg
hembourgto Quebec in a little over fotir
and one-half days. She goes at a
high rate of speed; has four propel-
lors on, and sometimes runs oxer
six hundred miles a day. She goes
so fast that the waves strike her
sides like thunder when it is a 'bit
rough. She is too deep in the water
to go to 'Montreal, so we landed at
Quebec; took the train to Montreal
and next 'morning took ,the train for
Toronto and London, Ont., and home
to old Huron County, which looks
about as good as anywhere yet, but
the depression seems to be worse in
Canada than••in Great Britain.
Store Cattle Export
'Inaugurating a new phase of Can-
ada's live cattle trade to Great Bri-
tain, the first shipment of cattle di-
rect from a Canadian breeder to a
British feeder left Montreal on Lri-
day, October 6th, aboard the S. S.
Nortonion. This shipment marks the
expansion of the western Canadian
cattle ranchers into the direct ex-
port trade and at the 'same time em-
phasizes the demand in Great Bri-
tain for Canadian cattle as feeder
stock. The shipment numbered 511
head of cattle.
(Shipment of this large number of
cattle was made possible by the .co-
operation of the Department of
Trade and Commerce. Heretofore
only finished or short keep cattle had
been exported to Great Britain This
shipment of Canadian store cattle re-
vealed the possibilities of an outlet
of large proportions for Canadian
feeder stock.
War Against Colds -
Every fall we have to consider the
common cold, not because we wish to
do so. Nearly everyone contracts at
least one cold during the year, and
so everyone is interested in knowing
what he may do to prevent or avoid
colds.
We have all noticed how colds run
through a family; first one membero
has a cough or a sneeze, and soon
all the family are coughing, sneez-
ing and blowing their noses. So it
seems that whatever the germ is that
cau>3es a cold it is passed along by
those who have colds to those who
have not.
'The lesson to 'be learned from this
is that the individual who has a cold
should be isolated, from the other
members of the family. Bed is the
best place for the person who has a
cold. IBy keeping him in bed he is
kept away from the family, and if

It is more simple to use paper..•hand-

We can do !much to avoid colds by
huildtng up our powers of resistance.
There does not appear to be any
doubt that those who live in over-
heated rooms, who wear ,too heavy
clothing and who overeat and take
but little exercise are apt to fali vic-
tims to the common cold.
The 'common cold occurs chiefly in
winter, not because the air is cold at
that time, but because we, when the
air is cold, are apt to shut ourselves
in. and live by the hot stove. '
Potato Harvestf 1999
The preliminary- estimate of the
total yield of' potatoes in Canada in
1933 is 40,260,000 cwt., from 520,800
acres, or 77.0 cwt. per acre, as com-
pared with 39,416,000 cwt. from 521,-
500 acres, or 76 cwt. per acre, in 1932
and 47,425,800 cwt. from 574,078 ac-
res, or 83 cwt. per acre, the average
for the five years,, 192'7-31. By prov-
inces the yields in cwt. per acre are,
in order, as follows, with last year's
figures within brackets: New Bruns-
wick 120 (80); Quebec 101 (87);
British Columbia, 100 (119); Prince
Edward" Island, 95 (85) ; Nova Scotia,
85 (103); Manitoba, 5$ (59); Alber-
ta, 55 (68) ; Saskatchewan 53 (67) ;
Ontario, 52 (61).
The yieltl per acre and total pro-
duction of potatoes in 1933 are slight-
ly above the low figures of the 1932
season. Although the sun -weer months
were generally characterized by
drought, timely rains fell in August
and September. and the late -sown
crap's, such as potatoes. did not suf-
fer the great reduction in yield shown
by the grain crops. High yields were
'secured in Prince Edward Island,
New Brunswick, and Quebec, while
the Crops were light in Nova Scotia,
Ontario and the Prairie Provinces.
The Ontario yield per acre is the
lowest since 1916 and the yields in
the Prairie Provinces are all below
those of last year. In British Colum-
bia, the season was not as: favour-
able as in 1932.
Home -Made Ice Cream
It is a common impression that it
takes a great deal of time and hard
work to make ice cream. Such is
not the case. It is a simple matter
to mix the ingredients, and if the
cream is at least twenty-four hours
old, and if the iee and salt is used in
proper proportions= about 12 parts of
ice to one of salt—it is a matter of
only 15 to 20 minutes 'be'fore the
freezing process is completed. The
freezingprocess, however, is import-
ant to g e the ice cream the proper
‘body and texture as this has a great
effect on the palatability.
It is possible to meke frozen des-
serts with utensils to be, found in
any kitchen, says the Dairy clad Cold
Storage 'Branch of the Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture. Good ice
cream -may he made according to the
following directions' by using some
vessel, such as a small tine or gran-
ite pail, and another vessel similar
in shape but several sizes larger. Af-
ter pouring the iee cream Mixture in -1
to the smaller pail, cover tightly and
place it in the, larger one, leaving
the handle erect. Pack with ice and
salt, or with snow and salt; then,
using the handle of the pail, turn
hack and forth to keep the contents
in :lotion. After five or ten minutes,
remove the cover, being careful to
prevent any salt getting into the
mixture, anxi with a, (broad -bladed
knife scrape the frozen portion .from
the inside edge into the centre. Cover
tightly and repeat until the mixture
i •frozen, scraping from the insida
edge frequently.
'Ice cream for a small family, or
individual e•,enounts for -an •invalid,
may he made in this way b5 using a
small vessel such as a baking powder
can and a botill or• a small pail. This
is not so convenient a method of
making ice cream as when a freezer
is used. A longer time is required
but a delicious dessert can be made
in this way. The plain ice creams
are made from table cream, sugar and
flavouring material: Vanilla is the
most common flavouring, but other
flavours such as chocolate, maple,
coffee or caramel are suitable and
appetizing.
'One pint of cream, one-third tea-
cup of sugar,...and 2 teaspoonfuls of
vanilla, mixed and stirred to dissolve
the sugar, will freeze into a quart of
ice cream.
Another method of making a quart
of vanilla ice cream is 1 cup scalded
milk, 1 teaspoonful flour, 1 cup of
cream, 1 egg yolk, one-third cup of
sugar and 1 teaspoonful vanilla.
Measles
There was a time—and too ,many
parents are still living in that time—
when it was thought that every cnild
had to have measles, and that the
sooner each child did have it, the bet-
ter it was for all concerned. When
ore child of the family contracted
measles, no effort was made to keep
the disease from spreading through
the family, for it -se to more con-
eenient that all the children should
have it together.
'Measles is a very serious disease
because of the fatal pneumonia which
so often follows in its wake. The
younger the child is, the greater the
danger. 'Measles is one of the most
readily spread ,of all diseases. The
germ which causes measles hag not
been discovered, but we know that
the living agent which is responsible
is present in the secretions of the nose
and throat, even before the appear-
ance of the rash, at the time when
the nose is running and there is a
cough, or what appears to be a com-
mon cold.. ,
The prevention or control of meas- .
les is' one of the most difficult prob-
lems' in preventive medicine. To be-
gin with, the disease is -highly eoni-
'municable, and it is communicable
during the emcee -stages, before the
rash shows itself, when the condition
seems to be an ordinary cold, and of-
ten measles is not even suspected un-
less the child is known to have been
exposed. This is one reason why a
child who has a cold should be iso-
lated from other children.
In "the blood of those who have re-
covered from measles, there are pre-
sent the antibodies, or fighting forces
against measles, which the body
manufactures., It is the continued
presence' of these substances which
renders immune, or protected against
further attacks, the person who has
an attack. The transference of blood
from, such a person to another person
furnishes the 'latter with 'fighting
forces against measles'.
When a .ypung child is exposed to
measles, 'at an age when the disease
is dangerous, it is recognized as good
practice to inject the child with blood
drawn from the parents. As prac-
tically all adults have had measles,
there is every likelihood that these
injections will give the children suf-
ficient immunity or fighting forces
against 'measles, occasionally to pre-
vent the occurrence of the disease but
usually to modify the attack soas to
lessen greatly any dangers associat-
ed with the disease.
This is real progress. No longer
need we stand by and let measles do
its worst. The procedure we have
described is safe, painless and effec-
tive. To parents, therefore, we say:
when your doctor advises this pro-
cedure, give your consent to its be-
ing done, because measles is a ser-
ious and frequently a fetal disease
for young children.
