we came upon one tb,at was . t i
ed "Woman and Wealth."
mightn't have noticed_ it but th..
also staring us in the face, was
petulant quotation from . a recent
_ook to the effect that`"the Bible
is the only literature iso- the'world,
up to our own century, *bijh looks
,at woman se a human being, no
better and no worn than 'men."
That seemed to • suggest'iflat in
their fortunes, women `were stilt at
a rather low ebb, and that in turn
sent us back to the' item an "Wo-
men and Wealth."' • "
We were 'therefore quite unpre-
pared for the impressive array of
figures attesting that, in Canada at
least, and despite any supposed
handicap of masculine superiority,
women as a whole had done very
well for themselves — that indeed
any remaining sense of superiority
could remain only in the more
addled of masculine minds.
We must add that the figures,
which are a little bit dated, would
only be augmented by tihe facts of
the passing hours and that they
had behind them the authority of
a great Canadian insurance com-
pany.
"Canadian Women," said the art-
icle, "control Canada's largest sin-
gle industry—the great industry of
housekeeping." To most of us, that
calls up a picture of duster and
broom, or their modern counter-
parts. But that is lust the last
faint wriggle of that •departing
sense of superiority. For the art-
icle hurries to explain that the
housekeeping industry is the equiv-
alent of any five of our leading in-
dustries, in point of investment
involved„ or people employed, or
of annual expenditures. It involves
the
still more
striking fact that
Canadian
women control 40 per
cent of Canada's wealth and more
than half of its buying power,
while they actually spend 75 per
cent of all its income.
It is also a fact that women com-
prise the majority, of corporation
stockholders, They own 60 per
cent of all sa>,+jings bank deposits,
and however much the lord and
master may preen himself, the
saber fact is that he is putty in
the hands of some "little woman."
Is that provable? Well,- 71 per
cent of all estates left.by men go
to her, and she is the beneficiary
of 64 per cent of all life insurance
estates.
As for her own astuteness, let it
be remembered that, seine little
time ago, when conditions were
some what less favorable than they
are today she had an inves$ntent in
first mortgages on city, town and
farm properties of over three hurl-
ed million dollars. All of which
acids up to the sober reflection that
in any planning for the future, in
any consideration of our long-time
security we .should never overlook
the power of a woman.
February 11, when a number of
friends gathered at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. H. J. Manag-
han, The guest of honor receiv-
ed many cards and' gifts and a
very pleasant time was spent by
all present- Friends gathered from
Exeter, Sarnia, Holmesville and
Clinton. Mrs, Gliddon suffered a
severe stroke a few years ago but
is still able to be about each day.

Fire Destroys Usborne Barn
Fire on Friday last destroyed
the large bank barn of .Mitchell
Willis, of Usborne, near Wood-
ham. The fire started in the up-
per part of the barn and had gain-
ed considerable headway when no-
ticed by a neighbor who informed
Mr, Willis, who at the time was
having supper. • The neighbors
Were alerted and assisted in get-
ting out some of the stock and also
in saving an adjoining hen house
and implement shed. Two cows,
five sows and some pigs were de-
stroyed together with about 400
bushels of wheat, 300 bushels, of
barley and some soy beans. A fere
tilizer drill belonging to Pats
Dickey, stored in the barn, was
also destroyed. One cow escaped
from the barn dragging part of
the still with it. The barn was L-
shaped, one barn being 40x58 feet,
and the other 34x56. It was one
of the good barns of the township.
The farm was purchased by Mr.
Willis when he came from ,.the
West from Mr. James Squire. The
logs was partly covered by insur-
ance.—Exeter Times -Advocate.

Germany, is like stepping out of a
tidy parlor into a kitchen after it
has been struck by a cyclone.
But before I Iau.nch into an ac-
count of our two-day tour of post-
war Germany I'd' like to mention
a few more points of interest
about our stay in Denmark.
While the Danes had to put up
with plenty of hardships, includ-
,ng dislocation or their export
trade when the Nazis over -ran
their country, they did not suffer
as much as some other European
countries. Today agricultural pro-
duction in Denmark is only .limit-
ed; by the Danes, ability to grow
and buy fodder for their livestock.
From what I could learn, agricul-
ture is pretty well back to the post
war level. .
There is still some war damage
to be seen in Denmark. Perhaps
one of the :nest amazing war sou-
venirs is a building in the heart
of Copenhagen. It was the Ges-
tapo headquarters during the oc-
cupation and one day a couple of
R.A.P.. light bombers swooped
down ,within a few hundred feet
of it and let go their bombs. So
accurate was the pinpoint bombing
that the bomhi landed dead in the
centre of the building. All the
houses around remained intact
while the exploding bombs wreck-
ed the interior of the building.
The walls still stand for all to see.
During our, tour of Denmark we
also managed to visit a co-opera-
tive dairy, two royal castles, Fred-
eriksberg and the Elsinore of Ham-
let, and a folk school which was
one of fifty for which Denmark is
famous. The most ancient point
we visited- was an old Viking tem-
ple which, we were told, was 200
years old when Columbus sailed to
America. "
But to get back to Germany.
From the time we crossed the
Danish -German border at Schles-
wig-Holtsein (the last naive should
be familiar to a certain cattle
breeders association back hom•e),
we saw evidence of war damage
on ail sides. It increased as we
approached Hamburg and in that
city we sa'w what it means to a
country to lose a war.
Hamburg, where we made our
headquarters, is a weird mixture -
It has been called the city of the
living and the dead. It was once
Europe's greatest port and the
greatest shipbuilding centre in
Germany. Here the Nazis built
most of their submarine fleet and
constructed great repair shops to
service their merchant fleet.
As a result it was one of the
main .targets for the air forces. To-
day most of the city lie's in rubble
with more than 50 per cent. of the Factory Guarantee
homes destroyed, the submarine Free Pick-up and Delivery
works have been blasted and the
shipbuilding plants are practically
crippled. The thousand -plane air
raids did so much damage that the
people still haven't managed to dig
out all of their dead from under
the piles of debris, But life goes
on in spite of the ruin and de-
struction.
In some respects the Germans
have managed to make a remark-
able recovery. With the exception
of coffee and a few minor things
there le no rationing. People do
not seem to have any difficulty
getting foodstuffs or gasoline, or
anything for that matter as long
as they have the marks to pay out.
In Hamburg the stores are filled
with goods and I was able to get
On the farms we saw few ma-
chines. We did not see any milk-
ing machines. As you have prob-
ably - guessed there is little need
of labor-saving machines wingp hu-
man labor is so plentiful. They
have three times as many hands
on the farms here as we have at
home.
Most of the cattle we saw on
the farms here are Friesian. We
were not too impressed with them
but no doubt we did not see the
best herds. But we did see some
good hogs which are shorter and
thicker than the Danish hogs and
are marketed at heavier weight.
Our guides were James Parlane,
agricultural advisor to the mili-
tary government, and Dr. Carl
Redder, of Esso. They drove us
to North Germany to inspect the
dairy districts which are about 80
miles south of Hamburg, We also
'saw thousands o da ofe
a res of refor-
ested land, mostly pine and
spruce. They 'had all been hand -
planted ' in light soil. Some of the
trees were large enough that they
were being cut. Dr. Redder told
me much of this is privately own-
ed and is being handled as a crop.
It might interest you to know
that Hamburg is only 20 miles
from the Russian patrols. We
didn't try to cross!
It has been quite an experience
visiting Germany but we are look-
ing forward to our next country
which is Holland, the land of the
windmills. After that we return
to the United Kingdom and a visit•
to Northern Ireland where Jim
Eccles and Ron Marquis will take
part in some of the plowing match-
es. They are really eager to get
into it although it will be our last
function before we return home.

ter.
