Tragedy Strikes,
This district was saddened over
the week -end when a happy picnic,
in a matter of moments, was turned
into a tragedy that cost the lives of
three district residents by drowning.
The drowning toll included a fourth
member of the picnic, a resident of
London. The tragedy was particu-
larly sad in that two of those who
lost their lives were brother and
eister, while a third was their cousin.
While any consideration at this
time, of the factors which contribut-
ed to the disaster, can do nothing to
relieve the suffering of the families
isa•ddened by the sudden loss of lov-
ed ones, still, as the London Free
Press points out "the drownings in
the Thames emphasize again the
danger the river always presents."
The Free Press refers to one fac-
tor that occurs in motor boat acci-
dents. "It is that load limits must
be carefully observed. Whether
overloading was a factor in the Lon-
don tragedy or not it is something
that should be avoided in future. It
may seem overcautious to scan care-
fully the load -limit of boats, and
their life-saving equipment before
going aboard, but it may prevent a
holiday becoming an occasion for
tragedy."
There will be general and heart-
felt sympathy for those who, as a
result of the disaster, have suffered
the loss of ones dear to them.

Western Rat Race
Those of us who are resident in
Central Canada have difficulty in re-
alizing the furor that is being raised
in the West over the appearance of
rats in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
For many years, despite preventa-
tive measures, we have had rats in
Ontario. Much as we may dislike
the idea, the rats continue to multi-
ply and in most areas are present to
a degree that results in man waging
a more or less continuous battle
against them.
Yet it was only last winter that a
rat was killed in Edmonton, the first
on record. The event resulted in
much excitement and brought grave
warnings that the victim was but the
first of an advance guard that would
be followed in due course by hordes
of its fellows. Alberta was concern-
ed, and properly so, that its proud
reputation of being the only entire-
ly rat -free province was about to be
lost.
Government officials declared war
and finally a resolution was adopted
by the Legislature, which read:
"Be it resolved this assembly re-
quest the Government of Alberta to
give consideration to undertaking,
either with the consent of or in co-
operation with the Saskatchewan
Government, a continuing destruc-
tion of Norway rats in the western
section of Saskatchewan, in an ef-
fort to prevent density of numbers
reaching the point where pressure of
food impels migration of the rats in-
to Alberta."
The story of the rat advance across
the Prairies is told by the Winni-
' l'r Free Press:
"Eats, it appears from the reports
�► those who have studied their op-
lta°ions, have 'been moving west-
ard. across the Prairies for forty

is
haps many years later, they arrive
in startling. density. The time lapse
depends on how far ahead of the
main body the first ones have been
carried,
"Experts report the 'rat line' or
main body advances at a rate of 12
miles a year, faster if the terrain and
conditions are favorable. They pass-
ed through Saskatoon in the late
thirties and now are close to Lloyd-
minster on the Alberta border. And,
of course, the 'rat line' extends all
the way south and is now approach-
ing Medicine Hat.
"In the summer the rats scatter
through the fields where food is
plentiful. They, together with mice,
make heavy inroads on the crops,
destroying many millions of dollars
worth of marketable food.
"In the winter they move into the
shelter of barns, stables, hay stacks
and nearby towns. It is easy for
them to find hiding places in west-
ern buildings, few of which have
been built in such a way as to make
life difficult for rats."
While the anti -rat campaign of
Alberta is based on poisoning and
trapping the creatures, the Free
Press thinks other means of exterm-
ination should not be forgotten.
"While that method is undoubted-
ly the foundation of any anti -rat
campaign there are other things that
can be done. For example, in sum-
mer time an abundant supply of coy-
otes, which have been hunted down
ruthlessly in Alberta, would destroy
both rats and mice during the breed-
ing season. In the winter Terrier
dogs and cats in the barns and
stables would dispose of many more.
And buildings, barns as well as
houses, and other edifices in towns
and cities can be so improved as to
make access to the normal hiding
places difficdlt. Building by-laws
should require new construction to
be rat resistent."
What Other Papers Say:
Corn On the Cob
(The Markdale Standard)
Corn on the cob has made itsap-
pearance in the local stores. We'll
wager there's more delight at the
sight of corn on sale in the stores
than anything else that the seasons
bring along. Of course, we feel that
way now, but just the same we were
keenly pleased when asparagus,
strawberries and raspberries came
along in their tiynes. But there's
something about a bowl of steaming
corn on the table—the nice, ripe,
juicy corn—and butter and salt to
go with it, according to one's likes!

Approves New Policy
(The Listowel Banner)
Premier Frost's announcement
that the Dominion Government has
agreed to share with the Province
in the cost of the Grand River con-
servation project should be a heart-
ening one for the municipalities in-
terested in a Maitland River Author-
ity. At the time of the meetings of
trig Maitland municipalities here and
at Wingham, the meagre funds
available from provincial sources
left the municipalities in the posi-
tion of having to pay about two-
thirds of the costs. This was a chill-
ing arrangement that effectively dis-
couraged action. Now the situation
should be reviewed.

Parents To Blame
+ (St. Marys Journal -Argus)
Those motorists who have wonder-
ed why they should pay an extra
premium on their insurance policies
when junior members of the family
are allowed to drive, got a straight
answer recently. It came from Ralph
M. Sketch, a member of the execu-
tive committee of the All -Canada In-
surance Federation. Though they
only make up 5 per cent of our total
drivers, those under 25 years of age
cause almast a third of our accidents,
said Mr. Sketch. In far too many
cases soft-hearted parents continue
to let Junior have the car even after
there is definite proof that he has
been driving recklessly. More ser-
ious mishaps might have been avert-
ed had there been ,prompt and rea-
sonable disc erne,

Dow U 1 r Chicago's
Loop
(By A. A. 'Monson, in Canadian,
National Magazine)
'H'OE'S AL
Forty feet below this, surface of
the traffic -crowded streets of Chi-
cago's famed downtown "Loop"
district is the underground rail-
way which carries thousands of
carloads of freight daily in the
tunnel system Connecting the huge
skyscrapers with the railroad
terminals of the city. The facili-
ties of the Chicago Tunnel Com-
pany are used. extensively by the
Grand Trunk Western Railroad, as
well as the other majorroads
serving the world's largest trans-
portation centre, to speed pickup
and delivery service of 1:c.1,
freight in the congested Loop
area.
Traffic moving through the -•tun-
nels traverses the downtown dis-
trict in a matter of only ten min-
utes, in contrast to the uncertain
and varying times for slow-moving
surface transport, which frequent-
ly is delayed by traffic jams. The
tunnel system not only is an aid
to the railroads and shippers in
providing faster transportation for
freight in the Loop, but also re-
lieves the busy streets of a por-
tion of their heavy traffic burden.
These tunnels are below the
sewers and below the mazes of
pipes, 'wires, cables and conduits.
They are reached only by eleva-
tors, and they end against blank
walls of concrete. They are ap-
parently known to few beyond the
ranks of those whom they serve.
Construction of the tunnel sys-
tem was begun by the Illinois
Telephone and Telegraph Com-
pany in 1901 for the purpose of
carrying telephone and telegraph
wires and cables. By 1903 about
20 miles of tunnel for telephone
use had been constructed, and the
funds and credit of the company
had been ex,haus•ted. The proper-
ties were sold to a new corpora-
tion known as the Illinois Tunnel
Company, which was empowered
to handle merchandise and pack-
ages and to build tunnels,
At that time the company con-
templated the handling of packag-
es only between stores, warehous-
es and delivery points. It had the
20 miles of tunnels under public
streets, but there were no connec-
tions with buildings along the
way. Further financial difficulties
were encountered and, in 1904, a
new organization was formed, call-
ed the Chicago Warehouse and
Terminal Company, whose func-
tion it was to build tunnels under
railroad and private property- and
connecting shafts and• elevators to
buildings, railroad freight houses,
shippers' premises and universal
freight stations.
In 1909. the work of' construc-
tion was completed. Rolling stock
and equipment was procured, and
operations were begun. By that
time about $30;0010,000 had
expended. The present ope or
of the system, the Chicago Tunnel
Company, was formed and took
title to the property in 1912.
As an engineering project, the
tunnels measure up to the highest
standard. The tubes are six feet
wide inside and seven and one-half
feet high, shaped like a horseshoe.
They are bored through a stratum
of blue clay and are faced with
concrete a foot thick. There has
been no .perceptible settling, and
the foundations of the buildings ad-
jacent to the tunnels have remain-
ed unaffected.
It would be the natural expecta-
tion that these long, dim corridors
40 feet below the street levels
ivould be damp and thick with
heavy air. As a 'matter of fact,
however, they are dry, cool and
airy. The temperature is virtually
constant at 55 degrees. Scientific
tests have shown that the air in
the tunnels is remarkably pure. It
is drawn up from them through
shafts for the ventilating and
cooling of many buildings and
theatres.
Nothing has been spared to
make operation in the tunnels
safe as well as efficient. A train
dispatcher in a central station con-
trols all train movements. He 'has
more than 300 telephone connec-
tions with the tunnels and keeps
a dispatcher's regular sheet of
train locations and movements.
There are approximately 52
miles of tunnels and connections,
all equipped with track of two -feet
gauge and with trolley for the use
of electric locomotives. The roll-
ing stock comprises 150 locomo-
tives and about 3,3'00 freight cars
of all classes- The usual car is
open and fitted with stakes and
bands to protect the load. 'The
car is about four feet wide and 10
feet long and. will carry from one
to six tons, depending on the com-
modity.
An average of about 300 trains
a day moves through the tunnels,
and each train is from 10 to 15
cars long. Coupled together, these
trains would extend more than 10
miles.

he started his epoch-making stu-
dies on what he termed "the prob-
lems of the infinitely small" or the
minute organisms responsible for
causing disease. Since then man's
constant fight against disease us-
ually begins in the laboratory with
the discovery of some improved
serum or technique, which has
great diagnostic or curative value
against 'these disease -causing or-
ganisms.
An outstanding example is Can-
ada's fight to control tuberculosis
in cattle, a disease that is difficult
to diagnose and control. The pro-
duction of tuberculin in the labora-
tory and the application of the
tuberculin test in the field are com-
plementary procedures and each
represents a vital step in the erad-
ication of the disease.
Intensive research training is re-
quired for those who participayy��in
the preparation and the starCdarid-
ization of the tuberculin
diagnosing bovine 'tuberculosis.
This operation must be done under
carefully controlled laboratory con-
ditions, such as are found in the
Animal Diseases Research Insti-
tute, Hull, Quebec, the main labor-
atory of the Division of Animal
Pathology, Science Service, De-
partment of Agriculture, Ottawa.
All the tuberculin used in Canada,
amounting to some 3,500,000 doses
a year, is prepared in this one
laboratory for distribution from
coast to coast as required.

According to 1949 statistics, Can-
ada has a cattle population of 8,-
251,000 and 60 per cent of these
come under the Department's tub-
erculosis control policies. These
policies are devised to meet the
various needs of the producers and
consist of the Accredited Herd
Plan, and Restricted Area Plan.
They not only prove a decided
help In selling, but serve also as
a safeguard in protecting the na-
tional health.
The success that Canada has
achieved in combatting bovine
tuberculosis can be said to be due
to the use of carefully tested tub-
erculin and the efficient applica-
tion of the thberculin test in- the
field. This is administered by the
Health of Animals Division, Pro-

Frame Barn Is Damaged
•Fire of undetermined origin
broke out in the barn owned by
Bartliff Bros., at the rear of the
theatre, about 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Although the firemen responded
quickly to the alarm, the blaze had
made considerable headway. They
were hampered by the extreme
heat in the hay which had, been
put in -the barn on ,}Vfonday. The,
loss amounted to about $100 worth
of hay destroyed and the barn it-
self, almost a complete loss, al-
though not burned down. It is un-
derstood that the Bartliff's intend
tearing down the building. The
barn was used to house the de-
livery horse for the business and
also Elliott Bartliff's race horses.
At the time of the fire the deliv-
ery horse was out on the street
doing duty; the race horses were
out on grass. The firemen were
deeply grateful to Bartliff Bros.
and Mrs. Clara Rumball and her
sister, Mrs. Electa Spooner, who'
live in the cottage right in front
of the barn, for providing refresh-
ments during the three-hour seige,
and also to H. Bartliff for remem-
-Bering the firemen in 'their efforts.

To the Editor
Toronto, Aug. 4, 1950,
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: Your editorial, "The
Final Say," iri which appropriate
references are made to the role of
"weather"in the farm scene, made
interesting reading for this urban
Canadian. In this respect; I was
apprenticed to the unpredictable
turn of the weatherman's wheel in
a hard school (on the Canadian
Prairies), where, even in the best
years, there is the time-honored
adage: "A wheat crop isn't a
wheat crop 'til it's in the bin."
In this connection I noticed the
following reference in one of the
official publications, (Agriculture
Abroad) in the course of a story
from New Delhi, intimating that
India is aiming at self-sufficiency
in cereals in the following terms:
The Indian Parliament was in-
formed last year that "except in
case of widespread failure of
crops, or for purposes of building
up a central reserve, the Govern-
ment of India will not import any
food grains after 1951."
It will be noted that the above
decision is -also aware of the fact
that "it is still the weatherman
who has the final say," and leans
heavily upon the caveat "except in
case of widespread failure of
crops." 'While this reader is un-
reservedly in favor of the princi-
ple of "a central reserve" of the
bread -grain, and not only at New
Delhi, but at the U.N. • or world
level, I deplore the trend indicat-
ed in the above policy, which is
decidedly reminiscent of the econ-
omic nationalism of the depression
decade preceding 1939. If we are
to have a fairly friendly, and there-
fore peaceful, world, I think we,
should be planning multilateral
trading, rather than self-suffici-
ency. In the months of June -July,
as you know, the weatherman clip-
ped just 200,000,000 bushels from
the U.S. 19.50 wheat yield.
