The Huron Expositor, 1951-08-17, Page 71 r 4 NUDIST n, 1951. S: ,.q County Library Film, To Be Shown Abroad The film, "The 13oo15s Drive Ofl,.' founded on the work of the "boa - mobile" of the Huron County 1 tb, rary Association, has aroused' keen interest in library circles and Llan been exhibited all across Canada and in the United States. Now it is to be used abroad to give pro- spective immigrants to Canada an idea of what this county is like. Mrs. Eckmier, Huron County Lib- rarian, is in receipt of a letter from Miss A. E. Horne, informa- tion officer of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, Ot- tawa, in which she says: "In connection with our efforts to stimulate immigration to Can- ada from the United• Kingdom and Europe, we are endeavoring to get together a library of films which can be used to give prospective CHAPTER AIX Synopsis John Saxon, private investi- gator, and his pardner Moe were hired by J, T. Smith to guard Irene, widow of his mur- dered brother. Irene was suf- fering from amnesia and did not recognize her family, in- cluding •her daughter, Kay. John determined that either Nancy, sister of Irene, or Nick Walker, who was in love with Nancy, had lied to him. One night Irene disappeared from her room. Kay and Johnny followed her to the deserted gun house. The next day they returned and found that a threatening note which had been received some days pre- viously had been written on a typewriter in the :,'un house. They also found the manu- script Irene had been writing before her accident. "Yes, him. Sometimes the person who commits a crime is the first one to yell for an investigation. PAUSE...

"He, too, knew all about your father. He frankly admitted, the day I was employed for the job, that he and your father were not getting along together. Something about business." "Uncle Thomas knows how to make money," Kay said. "He al- ways has. And father knew how to spend it. That was always a sore point between them. They were associated together in sever- al enterprises, you know." "Yes," said Johnny. "I found that out before I came here. But what's more important ... Uncle Thomas has always loved your mother. But I guess, in the past, he was too much the unemotional busi- ness guy to win her." Kay stared at him thoughtfully. "Yes, I suppose that was it." Johnny hadn't realized how close it was in the room. Seeing the girl's flushed• face, realizing that he himself was roasting, he flung open the doors behind them. Some breeze came' •in. Kay's eyes were instantly wor- ried. "Someone might see us!" "Let's take a chance for a while." He went on: "So you see? Employing me might, just have been a way of covering up on Uncle Thomas' part. Naturally, I would report results to him. He knew that. Then if it seemed as if he were going to be implicated in any way, he could take the pro- per steps." Kay' looked upset. She stood near the open doors, pushing her hands up across her face, rubbing. her temples as though her head ached. She, said wearily, "John- ny, it's all so horrible. Some- times I doubt if we'll ever know. That's the awful part of it. There will always be danger . . . suspi- cion." Unconsciously his hand went out and touched her shoulder. "I think," he said reassuringly, "I'11 have anthe i answer w r to whole o thing sooner than you think." He mo - Your Business Directory LEGAL A. W. SILLERY Barrister, Solicitor, Etc.

' "I'mused to danger," Johnny smiled. Then this face was serious again. "But I don't want anyone to find you here. If it should be our murderer, he might think you know too much. ..That's why 'I'm worried." The way she looked at him, his pulse throbbed,. He was trying not to think how lovely she was. Kay paused in the doorway. "Johnny, there's one thing why did you start Nancy off last night? You know what it does to her, don't you?" "I do now. How is she?" Kay's face was somber. "She was still in her room this morn- ing. I haven't seen her. She'll stay there probably. Nancy's an introvert, Johnny." "I found that out." "What did you want to learn from her?" Johnny explained, "Nancy :had a fight with Nick Walker last night. I overheard part of it. When he left—he'd been drinking—I figur- ed she was still mad enough may- be to tell the rest of it . . . pro- vided she had a drink or two. It didn't turn out the way I expect- ed." Kay told him she'd been awake when he brought Nancy England upstairs. He remembered seeing the light from beneath Kay's door. "The -trouble is," she said, "when Nancy is like this she stays by herself. You won't •be able to talk to her or anything. She has a very peculiar nature." She held his eyes. "So youfrgured out about Nancy and my father?" Kay was an amazing girl, he decided. . Nothing escapedher ob- serving mind. He had not thought she knew this part of it. He nodded. "It went on for some time," Kay told him. "Mother never knew. Do you wonder I hate Nan- cy, too?" Her eyes were dark green. "Nick Walker could have murdered father. Maybe he knew. Do you think he did, Johnny?" "I'm not sure." "I've never cared too much for him because I don't think he real- ly loves Nancy. He's only interest- ed in money, and I think that's why he wanted, to marry her. He thinks more about horses!" Johnny said, "Kay, how long does it take to get from here up to the house?" She looked at him curiously. "Fifteen minutes, I'd say. You could even do it quicker if you ran part of the way. Ten minutes, maybe. WhyT" "I was just wondering . . "Do you think it could have been Nick Walker who shot at us yes- terday in the boat? Remember, he was driving over to our place just about the time we were crossing the harbor? Maybe he thought I'd told you something!" Johnny said with a sigh, "Your Uncle Thomas . . . Nick Walker Nancy . .. even that jealous young swain of yours, Ralph Dun kirk, could have driven around 25-A while we were in the speed- boat." "Ralph is quick-tempered, yes," Kay admitted. "But he wouldn't do a thing like that!" She seemed amazed. "Do you really think he ;was jealous?" "I'd be jealous if my girl was ! as nice as you and some other 'guy took her out in a boat alone." Kay's flashed cheeks were not entirely caused by the stuffiness of the room. "Just the same," she said with emphasis, "I'll take Nick Walker. I think he—" From the porch, the jovial voice STANLEY J.

As the big, good-natured horse- man came toward the doorway', Johnny looked at him and said, smiling, "We were just discussing handsome men. It seems that you win top honors." "Well, says!" Walker said in his loud voice. Johnny wondered just how much of the conversation the fellow had overheard. Walker held his pipe in his hand and looked at them pleasantly. He was dressed in fawn -colored gabar- dine slacks and a green polo shirt that he wore like a loose jacket. Beneath the open polo shirt he had on the white top of a swim suit. He had a massive, hairy chest. Johnny said: "Kay was just showing me the place." He :held the manuscript beneath his arm. He was aware that Nick Walker had glanced at it once. "It's too bad they ever closed up this club," the big man said. "I like to shoot." Johnny thought Kay's eyes were guarded as she asked. "Did you see us?" For Johnny's benefit, she ex- plained, "you can see Nick's place from out on the bluff." Thus he knew what she meant. If Nick Walker had been watching, he would realize that Kay had come along the path alone, and had not brought Johnny down here. "No," the sportsman said, "A did not see you. But last night one of the mares foaled and I had quite a time with her during the night. I was coming in from the stables when I thought I saw a light over here on the bluff. So I thought I'd drop over this morning to make certain no one had brok- en in here during the night." "Everything's all right," Kay said. To Johnny, the man explained, "There's a nice collection of rifles +'nd sidearms kept here. Do you like to shoot?" "I haven't used a rifle in years," Johnny answered. Walker was saying, "Maybe we can find some shells and paper targets. Surely, there must be some around . . Frowning, Johnny said, "Only trouble is that the gun cases are locked—" "I have a key," Kay said. She took a ring of loose keys from her pocket. Removing one, she handed it to Johnny, meeting his eyes a moment. Nick Walker, behind her, could not see the expression. Her green eyes were wide and some- what worried. "You two men be careful," she said, and Johnny guessed the words were a warn- ing for him, alone. Going outside, they found Moe Martin fust climbing out of John- ny's roadster. He hurried toward them and as Moe reached the porch Johnny Saxon could see that his large, round eyes were disturb ed about something. "I called the garage and that fellow Ed told n -e where to find you," Moe said. He nodded brief- ly to Nick Walker, smiled at Kay, then his eyes looked troubled again. ."I'm glad I found you." "Something on your mind, pap- py?" asked Johnny. Kay, tense, said, "Is wrong at the house?" "No." Moe Martin said slowly. He seemed Tess worried now. "I was afraid something might have happened to you." He was star- ing at Johnny. "When I got up, you were gone, and I've been searching all over for you. Then I called the- garage and they told me." Kay said, "Look, Moe, I was just gong back to the house. Will you give me a lift? Johnny and Nick here, are going to try their hands at shooting." Moe seemed pleased. "Of course I'll drive you ." He paused, shot a startled look at Johnny Saxon "Shooting what?" "Targets," said Johnny. He grin ned. He and big Nick Walker watch ed the car disappear beyond the hill a moment later. Then Walker led the way back into the house. "Let me have the key," he said, "and I'll get the rifles. I hope we can find some shells." They found a box of shells and some targets near the gun cases. They also found rags and a can of oil, and cleaned two of the rifles. Even though locked up in the glass case, the weapons were dusty and needed some cleaning. To the right of the footbridge, on this side of the marsh, was a flat, cleared area that at one time had been used as the firing line. Walker ha,nd'ed Johnny his rifle. "I'll go over and hang up a target," he said. "The racks are probably half rotted away, but maybe I can make them do." Johnny waited, He watched the heavy -set man walk across the long, narrow bridge, built on wood- en supports across the marsh. It. took Walker several momenta to adjust the square heavy sheet of paper on the frame. He saw Wal- ker leave the second folded target on the ground on one side. Then he cantle baelt. (Continued- Next Week) TO THE anything (Continued from Page 2) pasture five per cent. This is par- tially a reflection of the good catch of new•seedings last year, but also shows the broad interest in grow- ing more of these crops to provide, some of the cheapest and best feed for livestock. In line with this interest in growing feed at home is the fur- ther substantial increase in the production of mixed grains and corni for husking. Mixed grain acreage has been on the up -grade for several years and at 1,230,000 acres it has established a new re- cord for the Province which is 7.6 per cent 'higher than last year. At the same time oats, the other sta- ple feed grain, maintained' their important place in feed production. With 2,120,000 acres devoted to oats this year they are virtually unchanged from the high level of recent years. Thus 284,900 acres of husking corn being grown ' this year means this crop continued the upward trend of recent years. This figure is 3% per cent higher than 1950 and is the largest since 1923. However, acreage of fodder corn is down 13 per cent, undoubt- edly reflecting the extent to which grass is replacing corn for making silage. From the standpoint of cash crops, the notable increases oc- curred in soybeans and flax, re- flecting the strong demand for both of these crops. Soybean pro- duction has been climbing rapidly Por several years. The 1951 figure of 176,000 acres is 24 per cent above that for 1950 and is three times the area seeded to this crop five years ago.

The leaves of the Perennial Sow Thistle are deeply coast with the segments pointed backwardsand they are slightly' prickly. The com- mon annual sow thistle has deeply cut and lobed leaves and are scarcely prickly. The spring an- nual hag leaves wthich are wavy on the margin, prickly and often decidedly waxy. The perennial sow thistle has deep yellow flowers of about 1% inches across, while the flowers of the annuals are paler and small- er. Mr. Murphy feels that too much emphasis cannot be placed on con- trolling Perennial Sow Thistle and everyone should make an effort to get this weed under control. There are any number of ways of con- trolling this pest, but improving the drainage and cultivation are two of the main ways of control- ling Perennial Sow Thistle. Mr. .Murphy suggests that low-lying tin - drained fields be used mainly for hay and pasture, rather than for 'grain crops, but where and when possible, the field should be pro- perly underdrained. Cultivating when dry is one of the most ef- fective means' of control. Howev- er, he points out that the disc har- row should not be used, as this implement is inclined to pull the root stocks over the tield, thus spreading the weed further. Plow- ing in midsummer followed by numerous cultivations will work very well as an alternative. An effective control can also be obtained with chemical weed kill - minor crop in the Province, it ac- ers, states Mr. Murphy, All Sow counts for 52,000 acres this year, Thistles are susceptible to 2-4-D. It may be applied to fields of grain' and corn where Perennial Sow Thistle is present at the rate of 8 ounces acid per acre. However, if the spray is being used, on grain that is seeded down, not more than four ounces acid per acre should be used, as the clovers and alfalfa are easily damaged by 2-4-D. For best control, it should be applied prior to blooming, when the flower is in the bud stage. He stresses the fact, that no matter which method of control is used, Perennial Sow Thistle should be given every attention to bring itcate undeit. r control, and in time eradi- an Increase of 62 per cent over a year ago. Buckwheat production at 76,000 acres is up about 30 per cent from 1950, but this is still less than half the average production in pre-war years. The area devoted to fall wheat and barley shows little change from last year. However spring wheat and rye, accounting for 45,- 600 and 75,9.00 acres respectively, both showed a decrease of about 17 per cent. Dry peas and beans are both being grown on substan- tially smaller acreages as well, no doubt reflecting the market situa- tion for these crops. Potato acreage recorded what may be the most important drop among the cash crops. Low prices last year and labor shortages for handling the crop combined to re- duce the area seeded to 80,000 ac- res, nearly 30 per cent less than last year and the smallest acreage of that crop in more than 60 years. Blyth At the same time production of Brussels turnips and mangolds continued to Cheslcy decline as most farmers cannot Clifford ;pare the labor necessary ,to grow tlicse crops for feed.

Sow Thistles thrive in both cultivated and uncultivated places, but grow most vigorously on heavy damp soils and where the drainage is poor• Mr, Murphy goes on to point out that there are three varieties or Sow Thistle, but only one—Peren- nial Sow Thistle, is causing any great concern.

Miss Horne asked for a copy of the film, to be sent overseas for use in each of the countries from which immigrants are expected, and the Huron County Librarian is co-operating in having the extra print sent.
