A Fact a Week About Canada From the Dominion Bureau of Statistics FRY EAT PARENTS There was less snow than usual arcing the water line of British Colum- bia streams last winter and as a con- sequence baby salmon hatched, in those streams last spring grew mipre slowly than normally. But what 'in the world has snow to do with salmon growth? Just this. Sockeye like other Paci- fic Salmon, blit unlike their Atlantic cousins die after their first spawning. Little salmon feed in part upon the carcasses of adult fish which are left in the shallows after spawning is ov- er. Ordinarily many of the bodies are covered by snow during the winter months and so carry through the win- ter, frozen, making the remains avail- able as a food supply for the small salmon with the coming of spring. Last winter there was1 little snow, and the remains of the adult' salmon thus fell prey to birds and various animals. The result, with the coming of spring, was a curtailed food supply for the young sockeye.. The life of a bay salmon has its perils too. Such was the case in this instance, with schools of hungry trout lurking' at the river mouths to prey on the: emerging fish. Sport .fisher- men in some instances gave the baby saitnon a better chance of survival when they took substantial catches .of trout by angling, and arrival of hordes of yearling salmon commencing their migration from the lakes also, distract- ed the attention of the preying trout from the salmon fry. Examination of the rivers in the dis- trict gave' rise to the opinion that hatch and. escapement of fry were satisfactory. Sockeye are the. most' valuable of the five species of Pacific salmon, and are a major factor in the great British Columbia salmon fishing industry which in 1939 had a marketed value return of nearly $13,000,000.

'Uncle Jonathein, lai,•rpatle utly lading his time nnth the eef,sustatter calls sopnirhitimof Ac*i1a reyenlgeieciauewaiting e the government lastyear and advised them that due `'to war canditione he thoight they shOoldd postpone the cen- sus. Uncle Jonathan being a man of influence on our concession, having two hundred acres eaCiand and being a Liberal, reeled . eaay, believing that he had saved the country from what was, in hitt opinion, unnecessary debt. He was shocked' 'beyond wordsby the turn of events when- it was an- nounced that the eensus „,would be taken; Refusing to believe that his advice had not been taken he had tai see it in .print before he was convinc- ed. Needless to say Uncle Jonathan was crushed and for the fret time•he began: to cry ant abut the govern- ment . . - not loudly at first . . . but gradually: He read each ;word that was printed about the census, fc'rtify ing'himself against the time when the census -taker should, dome. He is pre- pared to confuse and baffle that cen- sus -taker so that the 'repercussion' will be felt in Ottawa. Uncle Jonathan is only one exam- ple. I think that the government is taking unnecessary chances in having the census in such dry weather. If you have any idem: of the country, then you'll know that the government is blamed for many things. Perhaps the 'blame is not attached directly to Ottawa,liut by means of a little twist - Ing around it is quite easy to find something for which to blame the gO''- ernment, • We'll take for example that it's a hot, dusty day when the census man arrives, The grapevine of a party, line has informed everybody'1that he's on his way and so father- doesn't bother going out to work in the afternoon. The children are playing under a shade tree in the fronts' yard er just over in the orchard and mother is working in the kitchent]dying up a bit because a stranger: is coming. * $ aF Everything will be cinite - pleasant when the census man arrives. There'll be a little chat about the weather and how the census is going and finally they'll move into the kit- chen table in order to accommodate the census books and then he'll be- gin. In previous- census times it was a simple matter of answering vital questions "aboutthe family, but its far more complicated now. After the family questions have been asked this census will proceed with such ques- Retiring Twp. Clerk Honored At the regular meeting of the Mor- ris township council held on Monday, Mr. Alex MacEwen handed over the books to This successor, George Mar- tin, after 31 years of service as clerk. Mr. MacEwen has served .well and faithfully in his task and was com- mended on his excellent work. Wil- liam Fraser, who was reeve in 1.917, read a short address and Mr. Duncan; the present reeve, presented Mr. Mac- Ewen with a gold -headed cane on which was inscribed: "Presented by the Council and Ex -Reeves .of Morris Township to Alex MacEwen, Clerk from 1910 to 1941." Alex MacEwen was bornein Turnberry Township and taugtht school for a number of years at Bluevale, later taking up farming in Morris Township and taking over the position of clerk in, 1910. Besides the Reeve and Councillors, there,,at- tended the meeting ex -Reeves L. E. Cardiff, William Fraser, William 'Els- .ton and J. H. Fear. The new , clerk, George Martin, lues on the 5th con- cession of Morris.—Blyth Standard. tions., as how Many a ,a or -.01 44.0* were sold last Year, ether is ;going to start reealling Mile `pries oat :; eggs and as she scurries through the lot., ellen ` buffet drawer looJ,dng far egg bills ° she is bound to eornplaiir .about the prices, Father is going to. • scall, the new government egg grading reg;, ulations and that -will lead inta te gen-. eral; discussion. In the new form, mention is Made. of the mortgage. What a host of bit; tee recollections that will stir u'p! Father is bound -to launch into a dis- cussion of prices . . . and the rate of interest . , capitalism . . , and why the' government doesn't do smile - ,thing about the prices of everything on the farm. Another question to be "asked goes like this: "Amount expended in 1940 for telephone, electricity, freight, ex- press, cartage, pasturing; horseshoe- ing, veterinary fees, medicine, regis- tration and breeding fees, bees and ap]ary, equipment, hail, ice and fire in- surance - ." and so on. Think of the memories tahat each one of those questions will stir up. - On our line we'll recall the big storm ,of last win- ter when the telephone was down, the fight there was to have hydro instan- ce on the line, the shortage of good pasture this year, old Ned the black- smith who , died this sprin . . and each one will have separte memor- ies to recall' in regard to the mention of veterinary. Uncle Jonathan will tell the census taker all about that little sorrel mare be lost with colic and of how he told the veterinary how to treat the mare but that worthy, wouldn't pay any attention to him. And so the battle will rage on. if every family on our line is question- ed in such a way it will take the census taker a year to do the one concession, and he'll hear all kinds of versions of opinions about the gotei•n- ment thrown in for good. measure. In The Carden Summer Care The well started, carefully planned garden will now require little care and should -be returning big dividends in pleasure, beauty and really fresh vege- tables. Aside from gathering flowers and salad materials right at the door, there is little to do. Grass should not be cut more often than is necessary to keep it in check. Both flowers and vegetables will bene- fit from a little cultivation during July, and if flowers are picked regu- larly the plants will keep on bloom- ing: Repels Dogs and Cats Flowers and shrubs in gardens and porches can be protected against dam- age by cats and dogs by simply spray; ing with diluted nicotitte sulphite one-half teaspoonful per gallon of wa- ter—states a Dominion Government bulletin. The. -spray is harmless but the smell is very offensive to these animals, even when applied so thinly that persons are unawa,e of its pres- ence. In ordinary weer spraying every two weeks is sufficient. Garden Pest$ Garden insect enemies; .are divided into two groups --those tlliat eat tholes in the foliage and those at suck out tbe juices, For the first -named, poison is usually applied; for the second, a 'burning spraying. Often when' both are Present, a combination of poison and something that burns gives the best results.

We are. fighting the one thing coraMon to all, the "isms" of the world, that Is a dice tator and 411, a dictator stands for. What can we do to help? This is still an unanswered question for some. There are 'those who are too old or. too sick to -help physically. They want . to know how they can "be3P:. There. are the, youth of to -day -- - too young' to enlist and yet too full of ambition and action to sit idly by and watch others do their beet. What can they do? There is one way to help; common to people of all walks Hof life and that`' is, "Lend." We can all lend our money to the Govern- ment. We„Gan and we must put our ;,country and our safety before our own pleasure. Buy Victory Bonds. Buy War Savings Certificates. Buy War Stamps and help win the war. Help finish the job! 'These are the, head- lines screamed across the air, the pa- per, and the wire: The Governinent expects to. raise six hundred million dollars. Don't let your government down. See that they DO reach the full quota by lending all you can. There are some people who persist in being obstinate and backward, who ask: "Why should we buy bonds? How are they going to help us finan- eially? What will happen if we need that money after we have lent it? The Government o' Canada is as safe an investment as any. That is what you are doing with your money—in- vesting it. If it so happens that you do need find need of °your money, Vic- tory ,'bonds can be sold as readily as any stock. You are making money on your loan even while the Govern- ment is using it. Twice yearly you may get cash for the interest coupons on your bond. A victory bond is the wisest and most profitable investment today. Do your share by helping your Government and yourself at the same •time.

REPEATER TUBES IN ACTION When you hear a voice coming to you clear and distinct over hundreds of miles of tele- phone line, then repeater, tubes are in action. They keep the voice up to strength, no mat- -ter at-ter how far it is travelling. Formerly these ^ repeater tubes required as much electricity as a 15 -watt lamp and lasted only a few weeks. Bell Telephone research and manufacture have developed a tube that now does a better job, lasts 20 times as long, consumes 1/5 of the power and costs about a quarter of the older tube. That's just an example of what research is do- ing for 'telephone service — improving it, ex- tending its scope and keeping costs within bounds. Research has made tbe telephone equal to war -tune demands.(JN.,4l(i ee s '
