BLYTH STANDARD
BALL TEAM LOSE SECOND DECISION
TO CLINTON COLTS.
The Blyth ball team dropped their
second straight game to the Clinton
Colts on Friday evening last by the
score of 0 to 6. Both teams more or
less said it with errors, but the Blyth
lads said it the loudest and made
them when they hurt the most, Tom-
my Jardine was on the mound for the
local squad, and although Clinton
connected for ten safe hits, it was
no fault of his that the game was
marked in the books as a loss, Ev-
en with the numerous bad plays, the
game could still have been won had
the home team packed - a little more
wallop with the willow. All the hits
they were able to get off Draper,
young Clinton hurler, was three.
Blyth had seven errors ,as against
five for the visitors.
•
Clinton went to bat first and they
were set down in order. Wagg flied
out to centre 'field, and both White
and Glew were thrown out, short to
first.
In the Blyth half Taman struck
out, and both Sims and Miller were
thrown out,at first. The inning was
short with no runs, no hits and both
teams got through without an error,
Hawkins,,,who had quite a night at
bat with four hits in five trips to the
plate was first up for Clinton in the
second, and connected for the first
hit of the game. He stole. second,
and when Hovey was thrown out at
first, lie took third. Colquhoun then
struck out and Peddie walked. John-
son then went out to end the first
half of the second.
It was three up and three away
for Blyth again in the second. Grey
struck out, and both Jardine and Tay-
lor were out at first, It looked like
a close game as again both teams
got away without an error.
However,things started to blow up
in the third. After Draper and Wagg
had struck out, White singled, Glew
was safe on the first error, White
advancing to second; Hawkins sent
White home with the first run of
the ball game with a nice single,"Glew
pulled up at third on the play, Both
he and Hawkins were left on bases
when Hovey was thrown out at first.
Fairservice was given free trans-
portation in the third, and Blyth fans
were hoping for a run but Brook
hit into a double play when he sent
a ground ball straight at the alert
White between second and first, who
fielded it in time to tag Fairservice
going to second, after which he tos-
sed to Hovey at first to get Brook
for a nice double play. Taylor was
safe on Clinton's first error, but
Draper struck Taman out to retire
the side.
Jardine did some nice hurling in
the fourth when he struck both Col-
quhoun and Peddie out, but then the
errors popped up again and Johnson
was safe when he should easily haVe
been the third out on a bad throw to
first. Draper singled sending John-
son to second, Wagg was safe on
an error, and White sent both John-
son and Draper home with a sharp
single. Glow was then thrown out
at first, and the score was 3 to 0
for Clinton.
Bert Grey got Blyth's first hit in
the fourth but it went for naught.
SIms, first man up, flied out to left
field, Miller struck out, then came
Grey's single, but Jardine was thrown
out at first to end the inning.
Coupled with more Blyth errors
and a few lusty cracks of the bat,
Clinton took a bigger lead in the
fifth, when they scored three times,
Hawkins was safe when three of the
Blyth infield went after his round-
er between first and second and when
finally they retrieved the ball, no
one was on first to take the throw.
Hovey then walked; Colquhoun was
retired via the strike -out route, Ped-
die and Johnson were both safe on
hits, and with the bases loaded Blyth
had a very costly error, and three
runs came in.
Clinton blew up in the last of the
fifth and Blyth finally broke into
the scoring when they accounted for
three runs. Garton first struck out.
Fairservice pulled Draper for This
second walk, Brook was on when Dra-
per hit him with a pitched ball, Fair -
service moved to second. Taylor
out to end the inning. Three runs,
no hits, and some bad playing on the
part of the Colts.
Clinton got two of the three runs
back in the sixth. White was on
via the Blyth error route, Glew sing-
led, advancing White to third, Glow
then stole second, and Hawkins,
t h e ..m an of the hour, drove
them both home with his third hit
of the game, Hovey` walked and
Hawkins got as far as third before
Jardine took things in his own hands
and struck Colquhoun, Peddie and
Johnson out to retire the side.
The last of the sixth was short
and sweet, Grey was thrown out at
first, Jardine struck out, 'and Gar-
iton was also thrown out at first,
The first of the seventh was also
short and sweet. Draper flied out,
as did Wagg; and White was thrown
out at first,
Blyth got a man to third in the
last of ,the seventh, when Fairservice
who played very steady ball all night
1 was safe on an error, but Brook flied
'out and Draper struck Taylor and
Taman both out.
Clinton got a hit and a run in the
eighth. Glew was safe on Blyth's
last chance for an error, he stole
second and third, and old hawk -eye
Hawkins sent him scuttling across
the plate on his fourth hit, It was
well the game was drawing to a
close as Hawkins' constant hitting,
was becoming rather monotonous to
the Blyth fans.. The next three bat-
( ters however, went down in order.
Well, the old ninth inning rally
was right on, only it was the eighth
inning in this case, as the Blyth boys
saw their chances of winning a ball
game growing slimmer. Jimmie!
1 Sims led off with a swell double, to I
`be followed- by Miller with a nice!
single, Sims scoring on the play.
Hawkins, who previous to this was'
the hero of the game, became the'
i goat when he misjudged Grey's fly 1
ball, and Miller scampered home on;
i the error. Jardine then got hold of 1
one.and smacked it way out over the
fielder's heads for three bases,

BLYTH SPORTS DAY
NEXT WEDNESDAY
Don't forget the big Sports Day
planned for next Wednesday after-
noon by the Agricultural Society. As
advertised on another page of this
paper, there will be a full after-
noon's fun and excitement for both
old and young. The afternoon gets
away to a good start at 1.30 with
the races, which always create a
great deal of interest. Everyone
loves a good horse race and these
should be the best.
Then immediately the races are ov-
er comes the ball game between the
local nine and Hensall, This is a
regular A.B.A:A. schedule game, and
both teams will no doubt start with
their best foot out. All local base-
ball enthusiasts will want to see
this game,
Then in the evening comes the
dance in Memorial Hall. This, of
course, will attract the youth of the
locality, and probably a few of the
older ones who still have the old
hippity-hop feeling in their bones,
So forget the cares of the clay and
pack the wife and family in the car
and spend a pleasant afternoon with
your friends in Blyth next Wednes-
day.

MOMENTOUS DAYS: So much

ion can be focussed only on so many
oints'at once, Watching what Hitler
Is doing in Central Europe, what
Mussolini is planning in the Mediter-
ranean, it is physically impossible
also to keep our eyes on what is
happening in India, in Palestine, in
Iraq, in Syria, in Morocco, in South
America and Mexico (for world -
stirring events are brewing in each

We do well if we are able to watch

TEN -POWER PACT: Urged by
Winston Churchill last week in Lon-
don is a wide European alliance of
ten powers calculated to encircle
the German Reich and block further
4ggression on the part of the Nazis.
If such a front were formed of the
smaller nations of Europe and Rus-
sia behind France and Great Britain,
using League of Nations machinery,
Mr. Churchill declared, the United
States would undoubtedly "signal
her encouragement and sympathy,"
Said Mr, Churchill: "If we can
rally even ten well -armed States in
Europe, all banded together to attack
an aggressor, we would be so strong
that immediate danger might be
warded off and a breathing space
would be gained for building later
still a broader structure of peace."

MIXED BLESSING: With the soil
of the Prairies moistened by the best
rainfall in 17 years, and crop pros-
pects the most favorable since 1933,
Western farmers of the drought -
stricken areas are nevertheless rot
half as happy as we imagine them to
be. For two reasons: a good crop
means a much lower price will be
offered for wheat,; a good crop means
also that the mortgage companies,
who for so long have neglected to
foreclose on farms that were seem-
ingly tvorth nothing, now are likely
to clamp down on the debt -ridden
farmers. "Twixt the devil and the
deep, our Western neighbors are.

AN ELECTION IN 1938?: Ot-
tawa insists that there is no valid
reason for an appeal to tho country
in 1938, no excuse for a Dominion
election this fall. It is talking plaus-
ibly, because a trip to the polls is
not really due for another two years.
Just the same the opinion is pre-
valent in some quarters that Parlia-
ment will be dissolved next year—
the fourth year since tho election—
but not this fall, or anywhere 'near
it. Should, however, ructions occur
between the provinces and the Fed-
eral Government that can't be
patched up in the usual way, or
should a national "emergency"
arise, the government might decide
to call an election this year.

CHINESE CHANCES: A special
cable to the Toronto Telegram from
John Gunther, internationally known
journalist, now in Hankow, outlines
the main advantages weighing on the
Chinese side in favor of their ulti-
mate victory over the Japanese in-
vaders: First, the country is united
politically as never before, drawn
together by a genuine will to resist
Japan and to fight to the finish; sec-
ond, the facility of the Japanese in
guerrilla warfare; third, help from
German technical advisers and Rus-
sian pilots; fourth, the stupendously
difficult job the Japanese have set
themselves; fifth, the fact that Ja-
pan's standard of living is bound to
fall as the war goes on.
Mr, Gunther points to the reverse
side of the canvas, citing China's
disadvantages: first, the Japanese
have virtual command of the air;
second, the Chinese army is woeful-
ly deficient in artillery; third, the
Japanese are better provisioned, bet-
ter armed; fourth, provincial feeling
is still strong among the Chinese,
and unification of the armies is yet
far from perfect.

previous years. Vegetables are com-
ing on the market away ahead of
schedule, and one dealer predicts
that we'll "have strawberries by the
first of June."
All very lovely, unless frosts
come along and nip our Ontario
fruits in the bud.

Milk May Make

Dairymen Hear of New Byproduct
Which Can Give Auto Bodies
A Glossy Surface
Possibility of converting surplus
milk into a finishing material for
automobile bodies was envisioned by
dairymen meeting at Utica, N.Y.,
last week, as the result of a process
patented by William S. Murray, re-

Henry H. Rathbun, of New Hart-
ford, local director of the Dairy-
men's League Co-operative Associa-
tion, said Murray had obtained a
patent for a method of converting
milk solids into a plastic and had
assigned rights of use to the Co-op-
erative.

PETROLIA, Ont. — "The annual
loss in the Province of Ontario due
to the infestation of weeds amount -1
ed to between $15,200,000 and $22,-
500,000, and the loss throughout the
Dominion is approximately $150,-
000,000," stated J. D, McLeod of
the Department of Agriculture, To-
ronto, when nddressing the annual
meeting of the Lambton County
week inspector's here last week.
"The Canso of the present weed
problem is due to the neglect in
sowing seeds in the past," lie con-
tinued. He said this year consider-
able effort will be made to clean up
cemeteries,
The speaker also advocated clean-
ing of threshing machines and all
equipment before moving as provided
for in the Weed Control Act and
stated this will assist greatly in
controlling the spread of weed seeds
onto the roadsides and on the neigh-
boring farms, It was pointed out
threshers should be vitally interested
in weed control as their business and
revenue is governed by the condition
of the crop.
W. P. MacDonald, agricultural
representative for Lambton County,
said that because of the untiring en-
ergy of the 30 county weed inspec-
tors, Lambton is not considered a
"weedy" county.

Veterans of the Game
The real veterans of the weekly
game are in Ontario, The dean of
them all is W. H. Thurston, editor
of the Fleshet'ton Advance, now in
his 79th year but still reporting the
news of the Flesher ton district in
which he was born. He is one of
the many who are printers as well
as editors. He began newspaper life
60 years ago as a compositor, His
brother edits the Bobcaygeon Inde-
pendent.
Arthur H. Wright, editor of the
Mount Forest Confederate, is older
in years though younger in weekly
service. He is 83, hut' did not enter
journalism until 1901, when he re-
tired , from the • teaching profession,
He was for 15 years English master
in Galt collegiate. His paper, he is
confident, is the only one in the
world that is called "Confederate",
Its first issue appeared one week af-

It is half a century since he got

Polar Expedition Suspects Land
Exists In Arctic That Once
Linked the Two Continents
COPENHAGEN.—Dr, Lauge Koch,
Danish explorer, departed by sea-
plane last week for the Spitzbergen
group of Norwegian Arctic islands,
to start a polar expedition to ascer-
tain whether firm land exists be-
tween Spitzbergen and North Green-
land.
Dr. Koch, who has observed the
area from the air, contends that,
from a geographical viewpoint, there
probably is land there, because the
northern and eastern Alp -chains
would intersect between Spitzbergen
and North Greenland,
Saw It Once Far Off
Dr. Koch's Jule, Captain J. P.
Hoch, reported in 1907 he had
sighted land. Members of another
expedition in 1912 said they had
seen it but only at a distance. Last
winter, Soviet explorer's drifting
clown from the North Pole on an ice
floe thought they sighted land
through the Arctic darkness.
The Danish government has placed
the vessel Gustav Holm at Dr. Kock's
disposal to make sure, The vessel
will serve as a base of operations
which Dr, Koch flies from Spitzber-
gen to Peary Land and back, passing
over the area where the existence
of land is suspected.
Photographic Survey
If Dr, 'Koch sights no land from
the air a complete photographic sur-
vey will be undertaken from Peary
Land.
The Spitzbergen group lies about
400 miles off the extreme northern
coast of Norway and about the same
distance west of Peary Land, which
is the northernmost tip of North
Greenland, 450 miles from the North
Pole,

"LITTLE LAMB"
By Dahris Martin
In large and winsome pictures and
with one of those chiming little
stories that repeat, the plight of a
small lamb whose woolly coat range
off in patches is unfolded here for
very small people. Baba did not like
the idea at all; he had been all
white, all over. He was now begin-
ning to show pink spots whet 0 the
skin had no wool at all, It did not
look tight to hint, and he did not
think it looked right to anybody. So
he went to the merchant for a new
coat, and this worthy sent him to the
'tailor, and he to the weaver, until
at last the shepherd, melted by the
tears of Baba—and anything more
moving than this picture of halm in
tern's it would be hard for a ashy
to 1n.1 --sent, hien to Black 511009.
That wise animal laughed and laugh-
ed. Baba's 11eW coat was Coining in;
this was why the old one was conning
out in spots, and the story ends with
a skipping Iamb singing about his
bran:I-new coat white as milk, soft
as silk and warm as a quilt.
Although the story is for very lit-
tle listeners, the pictures will be ap-
pealing to almost any child up to and
including the age When first teeth

Some Trade Marks
May Be Invalid
Viewed In the Light of the Recent
Privy Council Decision—Man-
ufacturers Should Check Up
on Themselves
All manufacturers owning trade
marks which aro descriptive, geogra-
phical, the name of a patent expired
product, or the name of a person, firm
or corporation, should bo considering
whether their trade marks are valid
or not in view of the recent decision
of the Privy Council its the case of
The Canadian Shredded Wheat Comp-
any, Ltd., vs, Kellogg, wherein the
question of descriptive trade marks
was discussed,
Invalid After Forty Years
This decision Is of real importance
to all trade mark owners who desire
to protect their marks, because in this
case a trade mark, which had been
used for altnost forty years in Canada,
was 1101(1 to bo Invalid, Tho Court
points out in the decision what is ne-
cessary in order to prove that such
marks have acquired distinctiveness
tlo as to entitle them to protection.
It may be that in view of this de-
cision an amendment to the law Is ne-
cessary for the protection of such
trade marks. Trade nark owners its
favour of such au amendment should,
at the earliest opportunity, express
their views o11 this point.

....Gardening Notes....
FLOWERING PLANTINGS
Tho first flowers to be sown are
those very hardy kinds which would
naturally reproduce themselves in
Canada, such as cosmos, callfornia
poppy, alyssum, calendula and candy -
tuft.
In the second group aro the zinnia,
marigold, nasturtium, stocks, aster
and petunia, which do not stand se-
rious frost, and of the tender things,
which must be held back until all
danger of freezing is over, are the
dahlia, canna and gladiolus. As the
latter are all bulbs and do not come
up until a week or so after planting,
tli'y may be risked within a few day's
of really warns weather.
Vegetable gardens should be very
productive affairs. Where space is
limited it is possible to grow two
crops, oven in those sections of the
p••ovince where the summer season is
inclined to be short, This is done by
planting rows of very early stuff like
lettuce, radish and spinach in between
later maturing vegetables such as
corn, tomatoes, parsnips and swiss
chard. By the time the later things
aro beginning to need full room, the
first named group w1:1 be Used and
out of the way,
Don't Rush
Undoubtedly the average amateur
gardener loses more by rushing the
season than in planting too late. One
sharp frost in May will often complete -
1y ruin a promising early start, or at
least set the hardier things so far
back that the later planted sorts will
actually be ahead.
There is no objection, however, In
getting started early. There is more
pride in the first marigold or zinnia,
and more satisfaction in the first meal
of peas or potatoes right front the gar-
den at the door than in a dozen later
on. But there should be a certain
amount of judgment used,

THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT
It is not good for any man to get
the notion that he has done to much
for his town and community. The man
does not live who can do as much for
his community as it has done for him,
Too many of us are thin-skinned and
ready to take offence and retire in our
shell because we heard a chance re-
mark belittling our abilities. When this
happens we may think that our efforts
are unappreciated at times. And may-
be they are. At the sante time the
individual should remember that what-
ever success he has had has been de-
pendent upon the community, and its
people in one way or another—and he
should not forget that collectively the
people have appreciated his work even
though there is a minority that does
not view his efforts with favor. Dur-
ing our lifetime we have known cases
of where a man lost his head after
heing elected to a municipal body. In
other words he became "high -hatted,"
as the saying goes. This sort of thing
doesn't "go down" with the people
for it does not take long for then to
"get wise" to this tyre of individual.

PICTURE SETTINGS
in your springtime pictures, use blossoms and
"feel" of the season.
IN TAKING outdoor pictures of
people, are you careful to get the
"feel of the season" into each pic-
ture, lty proper selection of back-
ground and surroundings?
An outdoor picture without such
"feel" is like a stage without scenery
—or, worse, with the wrong scenery.
For instance, some of its will take
a springtime shot of a child in the
yard, with the garage or back steps
as a background—when the child
could just as easily have been pic-
tured kneeling beside a row of jon-
quils, bending over and sniffing one.
In the latter case, how much more
pleasing, and meaningful, the pia
Lure would be!
In your Maytine pictures, why not
associate people with blossoms and
the early flowers? In summer pie -
flowers to help get the
tures, emphasize the deep blue of
the sky and white masses Of cloud
by using a color filter on the lens.
In autumn, let your pictures show
tiro withering leaves and brown
fields, with gray skies or billowy
clouds hovering over, as back-
grounds for your pictures, And in
winter, make full use of the snow,
and bare branches against the sky.
Try to work into each of your out-
door pictures some feature, even if
a mere detail, that gives, definite in-
dication of the season. Make it an
essential part of the picture, so that
folks who look at your snapshots
can ".feel" the time of year. It seems
like a small point, but you will be
surprised when you see how much
it adds to the pictures that come
out of your camera.

Synopsis
A luxurious five-month cruise
around the world aboard the "Mar-
enia" brings together a group of
pai;sengers for adventures, roman-
tic, entertaining , . . and tragic .
Like in "Grand Hotel" these passen-
gers offer a study in human actions
and reactions which unconsciously
bare their souls . . • These charac-
ters are aboard the ship: Macduff,
dour Scotsman, single, of middle
age; Miss Mudge, school teacher,
spending the savings of 20 years;
Angela, faithful wife of Lovat, gig-
olo; Dick Charlton, first officer;
Clare, a person of experience; Joan,
a dissipated flapper; Jenny, run-
away wife, and Peter; Captain Bar-
ing, master of the ship . .. and his
soul... NOW, GO ON WITH THE
STORY.
CHAPTER V
Miss Mudge seemed uncertain of
herself and shot a birdlike glance
along the table, but no one was pay-
ing any attention, except to push
her out of the way. As soon as she
felt the pressure of bodies around
her, Miss Mudge took hold of her-
self and produced a handful of coun-
ters from her bag. She'd show Mon-
te Carlo.
Macduff wondered how long she
had been playing this game. He
could see from the expression on her
face that she had decided her coun-
ters were as good as anyone else's.
She picked her numbers with care
and distributed them defiantly. The
wheel spun, and she watched it with
a puckered, myopic gaze. The coun-
ters disappeared with amazing speed
and left no trace. Hiss Mudge div-
ed int,, her purse, then shook her
head. Her grey straw hat was slip-
ping over one ear from all the push-
ing and shoving, but she seemed in
hilarious spirits, excited by her sur-
roundings.
She suddenly spied Macduff and

EggTh'AImosf Perfect Food
If you have looked upon eggs as
an important, but rather uninter-
esting part of the family diet, it's
time for a change of thought. There
are dozens of ways to serve then
which snake them more interesting
and palatable.
Eggs are an almost perfect food,
Almost every element that the human
body needs is included in them. They
have a liberal supply of protein—
the muscle -builder and a small
amount of important fat, easily di-
gestible, The yolk is rich in iron for
red -blood corpuscles and the calcium
and phosphorus content is also of
great value to the human engine.
Eggs also have a liberal supply of
vitamins A and G and an important
supply of vitamin D, the "sunshine"
vitamin which prevents rickets,
Most housewives prefer white eggs
to brown, but scientific tests have
proved the two to be exactly the
same in quality and taste. The col-
or of the shell has nothing to do
with the color of the yolk. Yolk
color is the result of the type of food
the hen eats,
Here are some new and delightful
ways to serve the well-known "hen
fruit",
Eggs In Nests
Use three cups mashed potatoes,
either hot or left over. Add 1 small
onion, grated, 2 teaspoons chopped
parsley, 14, teaspoon celery salt and
2/3 cup grated cheese, Mix well,
adding more milk and seasoning if
needed. Form into 6 nests on oiled
baking sheet. Brush with milk,

that were an everyday occurence in
her life.
"Nell, what of it?" said Macduff
ungraciously.
"Oh, I beg your pardon."
Miss Mudge stepped back and he
felt impelled to make grumpy
amends. "Do you want a lift to the
boat? I have a car,"
She looked at him questioningly
for a moment, then brightened up.
"That would be kind of you," she
said.
Miss'1ludge's elation faded as coon
as her cabin door was closed. She sat
on the edge of her bed and wondered
if it had been so clever of her, after
all, to have lost forty of her precious
five hundred dollars. She hadn't in-
tended to stake more than a quarter
at a time, but she had won five dol-
lars at the start, and that had seem-

Nothing to Regret
The "Marenia" was easing out
the harbour and the lights were
flickering like a forest of lighted
candles. The coast line was slowly
engulfed in the night, and the boat
began to toss in a Mediterranean
storm. In a stateroom amidships on
C deck, Jenny and Peter Rumford
were unpacking their things. Jenny
stopped every few minutes to look
a little tremulously at Peter, whose
attention was all on what he was do-
ing.
"Well, we're orf." His voice had
a note of relief. "Perhaps you won't
, worry so much now, Jenny. There's
nothing like the lift of a ship's an-
chor to lighten the heart."
Jenny moved to his side and slip-
ped her hand beneath his chin. Her
voice was beseeching. "Peter!
You'll never let me regret what I've
done. Your love will justify every-
thing. You'll never let me down—
not now, after what I've dorm." She
clung to hire, panic in her voice.
"Angel:" said Peter in his most
convincing tones. "I shouldn't be
running away with you if 1 weren't
prepared to spend the r'.t of my life
in making you happy."

than Ubes'. The scribe did not ask
for the second commandment, but the
statement is incomplete without it.
This second commandment does not
stand in tho Old Testament in the
commanding position of the dnat, but
is brought in only incidentally, in Lev.
19/18, where, moreover, "neighbour"
is evidently restricted to a brother
Jew. Jesus puts it in a commanding
position and widens the meaning of
"neighbour" to "fellow moo."

scribe's answer is made of quotations
from the prophets which exalt the
moral over the ceremonial law (Ps.
51:18; Hos, 0:6| DJlu. 0:6'8). His
words seem to Imply that some of the
scribes were beginning to understand
not merely our Lord's teaching about
the spiritual meaning of the law, but

So fur as Canada is concerned,
prospects are improving almost daily
this spring for better crops and
therefore for more money and more
business next fall, writes Welling-
ton Jeffers, financial editor of the
Toronto Globe and 0uU. Ono auth-
ority,
uth'orltwhose sources of information
and whose opinion has proved inval-
uable in past years, stated that in
his opinion the conditions in Western
Canada justify expectation of the
best crops since 1933, and that he
considers it would be good betting
odds to say that the Western crop
this year will at the minimum be
'75 to 80 per cent, of normal.
Yet Allows For Deficiencies

rather low crops in the very large
