Day Bastille Fell
"On the 14th of July in the year
1789 the Bastille M Paris and
with its fall, began the French; revolu,-
bon," said Lord Tweedimuir. "On
•that saane day Alexander 1Vlackenziet
the explorer, set up a post on Whale
Island off the Arctic coast.
"That day in the old ,world Inaugu-
rated several decades of war and a
carnival of W.1114 theories of which
we still feed the blast. Here in Can-
ada, on the other hand, was inaugur-
ated the slow and patient conquest
'of the North. •
"Ia, recent years in the Old World
we have seen a'similar epoch. of con-
fusion and unsettlement, the strife
• of rival dogmas and the eternal' rum-
or of war. In Canada these same
years have witnessed, a very differ-
ent kind of movement, the steady pa-
cific conquest of the wilds, the paac-
tical business of unlocking the tread-
ure-house of nature.
"Which of the two fates is, .the hap-
pier? We have cause to be grateful
for our good fortune. It has' kept us
out of the melee into which no much
of the world has been flung, and per-
mitted us to continue our fruitful and
peaceful toil.
"But," Lord Tweedsmuir added',
"we have •teo a campaign before us.
a merciful and humane campaign, but
one which makes as mach demand
upon courage and patience and skill
as any war—the conquest not of our
fellew men, but of climate and dis-
tance and the stubborn' forces of na-
ture."
Presentation of Plaques
In presenting the plaques the Gov-
ernor General aaid 'such a duty gave
him extreme pleasure.
• Mr. Robt. J. Cook, who was a resi-
dent of Clinton 46 years ago, but who
has been' a sojourner in the West
since that time, came down to meet
some of the Huron folks, For six
years he was editor of a newspaper
in Souris, Manitoba.
The prize winners were Mr. .W.
Mason and Mrs. Brooks for euchre;
Mr. T. Mustaad and Mrs. Wickens
for bridagea booby prizes, Mr. H. 1.
Morrish and Mrs. Speare,
Mr. Thornton Mustard., the popular
pedagogue, took a very active part
in the proceedings.. Brucefield is al-
waysto the front in the teaching pro-
fession.
Mrs. G. C. Young did yeoman ser-
vice on fhe refreshment committee,
as well as overseeing the card games.
Mrs. D' Thompson, convenor of the
refreshment conamittee, had every-
thing in. ap.ple-,pie. Order, and the re-
fresthments were par excellence.
Mr. S. M. Wickena, Dungannon Old
Boy, is chairman of the program com-
mittee and being a live wire he will
make goo- on the job. Steve tells
the story Of Joe' Williams, the tramp

The popular Chaplain, the Rev. R.
C. McDermid, was a busy man all ev-
ening.
A new man on the Executive is Mr.

eluding Hugh S. Srpence, W. B. TIMM,
R. 3. Trent and W. R. McClelland. -
Major -General MeNatighton said
the development of radium in Canada
was a very great piece of co-operative
work. He also paid tribute to mem-
bers of his staff who had assisted,
including Dr. R. W. Boyle and' Dr. C.
k. Law -eine,
Where Honor Due
Mr. Snytder, chairman, In his intro-
ductory remarks, said the unique oc-
casion was one at which it was pur-
posed to • give honor where honor is
'due, He related the facts the dis-
covery of radium and the'difficulties
that had to be overcome before the
industry was established here, Dr.
Camsell, the next speaker, presented
the background of the country in
Which the great find was made and
gave a short history of its exploration
and development.
Gilbeft Labine, president of Edda-
rado, who made the find, described
how the discovery came about and M.
L. Pochon, of il'ort Hope, spoke of
the research work which was neces-
sary in Canada. Te work of develop-
ing radium here, Ire said, was all or-
iginal work as the Belgium company
which heretofore controlled the world
radium market' refused to give any
assistance to Canada.
Sir Frederick H. Banting, discover-
er of iusulin, spoke briefly of the dis-
covery ef radium and said it was a
coincidence that Mr. Labine made his
discovery on May 16, 1930, while he
and his associate, Or .Best, made
their first experiment, Which isolated
insulin on May 16, 1921.
Cariboo • From Snowdrift
Guests at the dinner were served
cariboo steaks, which had been flown
out by airplane from Snowdrift, a
trading post on Great Stave Lake, to
Edmonton by Leigih Brintnell. The
steaks came from Edmonton to Ot-
tawa in cold storage cars. It was
Mr. Brintnell who flew 'Gilbert Labine,
president of Eldorado and last night's
host, to Great Bear Lake in the
spring of 1930 when Mr. Labine made
the discovery of radium.
At that time Mr. Labine and his
partner, Charles Str Paul, were travel-
ling along the east shore Of the. lake,
Mr. St. Paul suffering from snow
blindness. Mr. Labine decided to
pitch camp and seeing a jutting out
point a little distance ahead, he Made
for it and walked around it so as to
be in the lee of the point of land. It
was here on the shore of Echo Bay
that the great find was made by Mr.
Labine and the point a land he took
shelter behind is now known as La -
bine Point. Mr. Labine brought out
samples of pitchblende from which
the radium was extracted. These sam-
ples he brought to Ottawa, to the De-
partment of Mines, where an assay
was made and realization of the mag-
nitude of the discovery became known.
From then on, it required a great
deal of unceasing work on the part
of the government . departments to
find away to extract the radium from
the ore. This task was a great one
but the Canadian engineers in the
government service finally developed
the method an entirely new one, and
thus it was possible to put the rad -
i= on a flim basis and its rise to
the status of an industry was 4sur-
ed. At the present time the Tort
Hope refinery is making two grams_ of
radium, worth about $33,000 a gram,
each month and the hope is that this
output will be increased.
At a recent meeting of the Ottawa
branch of the Engineering Institute of
Canada, Dr. O. G. Laurence, of the
National Research Council, made the
statement that if history repeated it-
self Canada would shortly have a
monopoly or the radium market. of
the world.. Canada's radium, he said,
had brought down the world price, of
radium. The price formerly was a-
bout $70;000 a gram and now it is
about $33,000.
• By Private Train •
Gtleste at last night's dinner were
taken to the Port Hope refinery yes-
terdiay by the company. They prd-
ceetied to Toroito, Sunday and left
that city by private Canadian Nation-
al Railways train for Port Hope. Af-
ter viewing the refinery, they con-
tinued on to Ottawa by the private
train and arrived here last night at 6
o'clock. Hon. H. A. Bruce, lieutenant -
governor of Ontario, was present with
the party' at Port Hope. The trip
was made to Port Hope yesterday be-
cause it marked the completion ' of
production of the first ounce of rad-
ium in Canada. There are 28 gram's
in an ounce of radium, which is worth
aheut $850,000.
. Among Guests At Dinner
Guests at the dinner included His
Excellency the Governor-General, Rt.

Horseshoe Pitching
Horseshoe pitching the one Cana-
dian farm game which is racy of the
soil, will reach its climax at the Roy-
al Winter Fair in the lastweek in
November when the singles cham-
pionship ander the Dominion of 'Can-
ade, horseshoe Pitcher' AasOciatten
will be tdecided. This is the recog-
nized • phamplenshIP for the ti -hole
("dial "ati "
country. It will be part of a four -
night program of pitching beginning
on Monday, November 23rd, and eon,
chiding with the eha.mpionship con-
test. First-class pitches, are being
prepared in the judging ring of the
East Building. The lighting and gen-
eral conditions are excellent. Rules
and shoes are those of the Associaa
tion. All events, including Senior A
and B doubles and singles, are under
the auspices of the Royal Winter Fair
through an appointed committee. En-
tries are reported to include some of
the moat interesting players in On-
tario and some new talent is expect-
ed to be seen.
Mice Injure Orchards
One of the greatest hazards in the
growing of an apple orchard is the
danger of girdling by mice. This is
especially true in orchards under sod
culture, although even orchards un-
der clean cultivation., are frequently
subject to considerable damage from
this cause. The amount of damage
caused by these animals varies great-
ly from year to year, depending large-
ly upon ttireir available supply of
feed.
Galvanize wire screen makes the
most effective protection. The initial
cost is high, but as it only has to be
placed once and will last for a large
number of years, it will be found
cheaper in the long run.' This wire
should be cut into pieces large en-
ough to encircle the trunk and leave
room for expansion of the trunk, as
the tree grows. The lower end should
be buried about one inch in the soil
in order to prevent mice from work-
ing underneath. • 1
Potatoes and Corn
The yield per acre of potatoes in
Ontario is above the very low yield
of last year but considerably below
nornfl. Total productiOn is estimat-
ed a 14,50000 bushels as compared
with 13,130,000 bushels in 1935, and
an average crop of around 18,000,000
bushels. The total Canadian crop of
64,190.000 bushels Is only slightly leas
than a year ago.
Corn for ensilage was checked by
the drought and total production will
amount to 2,425,000 tons as against
3,034,000 tons last year. Dairy farm-
ers its Central Ontario will .be hit by
the reduction In the yield tof fodder
corn as grain yields on Many, farms
in "this section were also below nor -

Hints For the Poultryman
Inorder to have pullets laying' at.
their best in November and Deena-
ber, the months of high priced eggs, s
the following points should be o'bserv-
esr according to the Dominion Poultry
Illusbantirnan:
See that' the pullets have dry and
bright quarters.
Have the houses clean and sanitary
without draughts.
Give a well balanced ration and be'
sure to give enough.
Don't forget the green feed, prefer-
ably clover or alfalfa.
If you have milk give the pullets
what they will take.
Keep the laying pullets or these
that are near laying by themselved.,
Give these every comfort and adz
tendon—they are -the money makers.,
Your treatment of the pullets now
may mean. profit or less for the rest
of the year.
Dispose of hens too old or pallets
too young, it costs too much to feed
them.
The time of scarcity is the time to
arrange for your market for the
*hole year.
