Ready For Grand Opening
So that every municipality in the
County of Huron may share in the
control of Sky Harbor, Warden Geo,
C. Feagan has issued the following
statement:
Soon atter a landing field was es-
tablished north of Saltford in the
County of Huron a pageant was held
to raise funds for the erection of a
banger. At that time the few citi-
zens who had endorsed the project
bad no assurance. that the people of
this County would support aviation.
To the surprise of everyone, men,
women and children to the estimated
number of oyer forty thousand from
all over the County, thronged the op-
en fields and roadways. Special po-
lice had to bo called In order to con-
trol traffic, Sonne sixty planes took
part in the pageant, coming from the
United States and from every flying
club In the Province of Ontario. This
publicity attracted the notice of offic-
ials of Civil Avlatlon in Ottawa and a
representation was made to the De-
partment of Transport of the Federal
Government. The- Minister assured
the delegates, after" he Had made a
personal inspection and had sent a
number of eeperts to make a complete
report, Cleat Sky Harbor provided nat-
ural facilities for an air port, but that
before Government assistance could be
granted the land would have to be in
the name of a municipality, It was
then that Huron County endorsed the
project and levelled some of the run-
ways. Shortly atter the outbreak of
war, the Government wired our Coun-
cil, asking them If they would be pre-
pared to consider Sky Harbor • tat a
training field for Empire defence, A
special meeting of Council was called
and our ' oply to that telegram was
that the County of Huron would Pur-
%Chado the .field and place It at the
disposal. of His :Majesey the 'King.
This patriotic gesture won the admira-
tion of the Government and, might I
add, of patriotic or.ganizatlons from
coast to coast, and much publicity was
given to our County by the press of
Canada.
'At that time we had no knowledge
or intlmationf as to what method the
Government would use in carrying for-
ward their operation of the field, but
assumed that' It would be conducted
by the Department of Avlatlon with
their own personnel. Under the British

Saving Ontario's
Natural
Resources
(No. 9)
By G. C. TONER,
Ontario Federation of Anglers
IMPORTANCE OF BROOKS
The headwaters of most rivers
are little streams. These streams
and the'Tributary feeder brooks
are very important in the con-
servation' of the brook trout for
they are the nurseries of the
young fish. Here, the trout find
cool waters, • lots of the proper
kind of food ..and, most import-
ant of all, protection against
many hungry enemies. Fishing
clubs and anglers are so often'
only concerned with the main
stream when they should be pro-
tecting and fostering the tiny
brooks back in the hills. Of
course, many anglers realize the
value of these streams and where
they have control, oftentimes
close them to all fishing.
Our speckled trout spawn late
in the fall, usually after the
rains have filled the streams so
that they can reach the spawn-
ing grounds. The male and fe-
male trout may go into small
streams that have only a few
inches of water normally. Here,
the male selects a gravel bar
and fans out a depression. Next,
he chooses a female and a few
eggs are deposited. The male
continues tow•fan out the depres-
sion but on the upstream side,
and more eggs are laid. The dig-
ging of the hole the second time
covers the first lot of eggs with
gravel. And this continues until
both male and female are ex-
hausted.
WHERE TROUT LAY EGGS
All winter long the eggs are
developing, protected against
hungry_ trout and birds by the
gravel: over them. Early in the
spring the young trout hatch and
wriggle free. For awhile they
lie quietly but soon they start to
feed on the minute life of the
stream,
Two things are absolutely es-
sential if we are to have normal
reproduction in the speckled
trout. There must be plenty of
water in the small streams for
nearly the whole year and there
must be gravel bars in which the
trout can build their spawning
depressions. Without these the
natural crop of young fish will
be a failure and artificial stock-
ing will be needed if the angling
is to be kept in good condition.
If we are to maintain the trout
in our streams we must see that
the forest is not cut away at the
headwaters of our rivers, and, if
it has already been cut, we must
reforest. This, I believe is the
first and most important work in
replenishing the speckled trout
waters of southern Ontario.
Famed Sam McGee
Dies In Alberta
Celebrated By Robert W.
Service's Poem "The Cre-
mation of Sam McGee" —
Native of Lindsay, Ont.
Sam McGee, whose name became
renowned through a sourdough
poem of Robert W. Service, is dead.
The "Sam McGee from Tennes-
see," who actually was a native
of Lindsay, Ont., died in the little
southern Alberta town of Beiseker,
early in September. His death came
30 years after Service wrote "The
Cremation of Sam McGee."
The poem told how McGee from
Tennessee was always "cold but the
land of gold seemed .to hold him
like a spell" and he finally admitted
he was comfortably warns when his
frozen body wa.s being cremated.
WASN'T CREMATED AT ALL'
McGet1, 73 years old at the time
of his death, wasn't spellbound by
the search for gold, either, as his
chief occupations in the Yukon
were copper mining and road.
building. And he was not cremated.
Ile was buried in Rosebud Church
cemetery, a few miles from Beisek-
er,
After McGee left the Yukon in
1909, he gave up his northland pur-
suits and went to Great Falls,
Mont., where he lived for 28 years.
Three years ago ho came to Bei-
seker.
McGee always found it difficult
to convince people he was the "Sam
McGee" of Service's poem but he
usually did with a valedictory ad-
dress presented when he left the
Yukon.
Two years ago he visited the Yu-
kon and discovered that a two -
'room shanty he had built at White-
horse in 1900 had been converted
Into a tearoom that urged passers-
by to "]nave a cup of tea with the
ghost of Sam McGee."

great holes in the paving and damaging surrounding walls. The front of the palace, at TOP of diagram, was pitted by another pair of bombs
(C) that fell between the statue of Queen Vic':oria and the front entrance, facing towards St. James' Park. The building shown at the, bot-
tom of the area inside the dotted lines is the swimming pool demolished in the first assault on the palace.
THE WAR •WEE K—Commentary on Current Events
"TO INVADE OR NOT ..."
QUESTION FOR HITLER
The desperate battle for air sue
premacy over Great Britain con-
tinued last week. Upon its out-
come and upon the vagaries of the
weather hinged a colossal invasion
attempt by the Germans.
Would the R. A, F. retain its Inas-
tery of the British skies? Experts
agreed that three factors would de-
cide the war in the air: the num-
her of British pilots; the amount
of aviation gasoline the Nazis had;
the strength of the Russian air
force (which potentially opposed
Germany's).
"Yes" and "No"
Should the worst come to the
worst, superior Nazi air strength
might break British civilian morale
and bring victory without invasion.
Should the air battle end in a
draw, it was expected that Hitler,
committed to produce something
soon to pacify the German people,
might order -the invasion anyway
with resultant terrible casualties to
his own men.
Would he invade? Anybody's
guess was as good as the next
man's. Louis P. Lochner, Associat-
ed Press correspondent In Berlin
said "no." He foresaw the possib-
ility that Germany's plans against
Britain would concentrate on air
war with abandonment of the in-
vasion scheme. "The German air
force," he declared, "will continuo
its relentless acts until the British
government acts" — presumably
surrendering.
"Impossible unless German air
ma.stery is established within a
definite and limited period" editor-
ialized the Soviet Navy newspaper,
Red Fleet. The article read: "Bri-
tish air strength has been grad-
ually increasing with the extensive
aid of the United States. If the
Germans do not succeed In reach-
ing their goal — conquest of full
air supremacy — within a definite
and limited period, and the British
air fleet is able to achieve numer-
ical equality with Germany, then
any German landing operations are
out of the question."
Bearing out the predictions on
Axis strategy voiced from time to
time in this column, the black shad-
ow of Mussolini's legions began to
move across Egypt last week, driv-
ing towards the Suez Canal. It was
obvious that the two dictators were
working together, the Duce to pre-
vent the British from withdrawing
warships and airplanes from the
Mediterranean area for defense of
the Mother Country; the Fuehrer
to keep British ships and planes
engaged at home while the Duce
did his big act. They evidently be-
lieved that by striking simultan-
eously in two most vital spots they
could clean up on the British Em-
pire.
Franco, Too
As if this weren't enough for the
Government at London to be face
ing, General Fv anco last week gave
signs of wishing to join Germany
and Italy to get his prize, Gibral-
tar, He sent his brother-in-law Ra-
mon Serrano Sinter to Berlin to
confer with Hitler and von Ribben-
trop following upon Axis pressure
to allow soldiers passage through
Spain.
More War In The East
The crisis in the Far East grew
more acute, Japan had demanded
troop transit across French Indo-
Ch:na to enable her to strike at
China along General Kai -Shelf's
southern border, and a naval base
at Haiphong, strategic port on the
Gulf of Tonkin. The Vichy Govern-
ment of Marshal Petait had agreed
in principle to the demands, but
China had declared that if they
were granted, Chiang's troops
would counter -invade Indo-China.
The British and U. S, Governments
had issued diplomatic warnings , .
Would Japan gain her ends peace-
ably or would there bo new war
in the east? "Time" (Sept. 16) said:
"The end toward which the Japan-
ese Army had worked since 1937
was at hand: a direct challenge
to the western powers to fight or
pull their stakes out of the Far
East . . , Few doubted that war
was definitely in the saddle and
headed south toward Thailand, Bri•
fish Malaya, Singapore, and the
1 ich Netherlands Indies,"
To safeguard their own rear, the
Japanese last week were making
special efforts to reach an under-
standing with Soviet Russia, De-
clared the newspaper Kokumit
(often a spokesman for the Japan-
ese army) : ' The United States pre-
paredness program is directed
against Japan. We are the potential
enemy they have in mind, not Ger-
many. The leasing of British ter-
ritories in the Atlantic for naval
bases will be followed by similar
moves in the Pacific. Relations be-
tween Japan and the United States
are now fraught with the danger
of war."
Trouble In India
Trouble for Britain was also
brewing in India. The powerful Con-
gress Party, headed by Mohandas
K. Gandhi, passed a resolution last
week rescinding an offer to co-
operate with Britain in prosecuting
the war (Indian independence had
been asked as a price), Neverthe-
less Gandhi expressed his deter-
mination not to embarrass Britain
at this time by pushing independ-
ence claims, his desire not to order
civil disobedience among the mass-
es of India until he deemed it ab-
solutely necessary,
REG'LAR FELLERS -- Preparedness
SCOUTING...
Emergency Public Service
The effectiveness of Boy Scout
training for emergency public ser-
vice is impressively illustrated
by a recent summary of 125 dif-
ferent types of wartime good
turns found by the Scouts of
.Great Britain. The list includes
general assistance in A.R.P. work,
policing air raid shelters, filling
sand bags, acting as blackout
guides to the aged, infirm,
mothers, children and new ar-
rivals. In some places they are
relieving telephone operators, In
the Thames River Emergency
Service they are stretcher-bear-
ers, signallers, etc. They serve in
hospitals, make splints, collect
spagnum moss. They assist the
police in traffic control; older
Scouts act as special constables,
In the task of evacuating child-
ren they are invaluable, their
tireless feet running hither and
thither doing a host of things,
from acting as escorts to clean-
ing out empty houses to be used
as billets. They are orderlies
for air raid listening posts and
balloon barrage units. They are
most alert coast watchers, On the
farms they are helping with the
harvest, repairing hedges, milk-
ing cows, picking hops, collecting
or chopping firewood. One of the
strangest Scout jobs is gathering
acorns, chestnuts and rowan ber-
ries for animals in the zoos, They
have found numberless ways of
assisting the refugees from Hol-
land, Belgium and France,, meet-
ing them at the stations, supply-
ing them with food and guiding
them to their billets. In a word
the Scouts of Britain have met
the 'greatest day -after -day test
that has ever faced Boy Scouts,
and have more than vindicated
the aim and motto of their Scout
training, "Be Prepared."

"What, a bud shot!" he said In
annoyance as the arrow missed the
target and landed in the side of

the bow, Would you like to try it?"
She nodded, an impish smile
lighting her face,
"Place the bow in the left hand,"
he Instructed sententiously, "And

these two fingers so, Now — left

Without pausing, Elizabeth pick-

to split the first •ole, •
Darcy stared Incredulously from

with delight.
"Next time I• talk to a young

Her evasion was not lost on

"Hello," Darcy greeted, "Miss
Elizabeth was just saying site

Caroline eyed Elizabeth frigidly.
"I should be very sorry if you
laughed more than you do, Mr.
Darcy, There is something so un-
refined about excessive laughter."
"It you want to be really refin-

Darcy flushed. "I would form no

will excuse me, I shall retrieve the
arrows."

A Good Carriage
Can Be Learned
Easy Steps Can Be Taken to
Improve Yours -- Careless
Posture Spoils Appearance
An awkward gait spoils com-
pletely an otherwise lovely ap-
pearance, writes Alice Hart,
beauty editor. No amount of
grooming can quite make up for
the effect achieved by carrying
the head far forward or down so
that the chin almost touches the
chest,
Clothes can't bo as flattering
as it is possible for them to be
unless shoulders are square, back-
bone straight, stomach in and
chest high.
The first step toward learning
to walk beautifully and grace-
fully is to do posture exercises
until you stand and sit well, says
Alicia Hart, beauty columnist,
who urges women to get into the
habit of standing with the enol of
spinal column slightly • up and
forward, stomach up and in, chest
high, neck straight, Shoulders
sliould be back but not exagger-
atedly so.
When you walk, swing your
KS front the hips — not the
knees, Try to strike a happy me-
dium between very long and
short, mincing steps. Weight
should be on the balls of the feet.
Don't drag your heels or, worse
yet, walk on tiptoes,
A good carriage 'and grticcful
walk are worth striving fol', for
they add to health and conse•
fluent good spirits, as well as
making the new fall costume look
as attractive as it was meant to
be.

In Filling Orders
Price changes as a result of the

here, declares the Stratford Beacon -

are beginning to show the effects
of the war, There is a decided
shortage of woollens for production

which once filled orders protn,ptly,
advising him that owing to the
shortage of skilled labor orders
could not be filled immediately.
The delay in filling orders is not
only caused by shortage of skilled
workers. in many plants the gov
ernment has found it necessary to
commandeer a certain percentage
of looms and the output of material
for civilian use is necessarily cur-
tailed.
INCREASE TO PURCHASE
Price increases have not been
very steep as yet, but people who
buy clothing made of ]sigh woollen
content will notice that small iterate
which once could be purchased for
three dollars are now listed at dos.
er to $4.50. The increase in price
to the retailer is being handed on
to the purchaser.
The shortage in wool ens was
noted shortly after the ou break of
war when the British government
took over all woollen materials for
their own use, Only a limited am-
ount of woollens has been ratioa-
ed out to manufacturers,

LESSON XIII
THE USE AND ABUSE' OF
WEALTH.—Proverbs 11;
Luke 18: 1-13.
PRINTED TEXT, Prov. 11: 24-31;
Luke 16: 11-13.
GOLDEN TEXT—Lay up for your-

Matt. G: 20,
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time,—Solomon flourished about
1000 B.C.; the message of our Lord
taken from Luke was given in Jan-
uary, A.D. 30.
Place.—There aro no geographic•
al localities mentioned in the chap-
ter taken from the book of Prov -
orbs; the parable spoken by Jesus
was uttered lit Peraoa.
There are many things that need
not trouble us lu life, many temp-
tations that do not touch us, yet
no man or woman can escape con-
sidering the subject of how to
mako money honorably or what to
do with money when it is made,
for money we must have, no mat•
ter how economically we choose to
live. Our lesson today has to do
with what the Bible teaches con-
cerning the use o! this important
medium of exchange and power for
purchasing what we need.
Effect Upon Character
What wo do with money has a
tremendous influence upon our
character and also upon the char-
acter of others. Money has in It ,
the powor either to sanctify or to
pollute human life. Mon are bur-
dened by money, aro separated
from simplicity and polluted in the
integrity of their moral judgments.
We are here considering in our ex-
position of the eleventh chapter of
Proverbs only those passages which
relate directly to the fundamental -
problem of our lesson.
Rewards of Liberality
Proverbs 11:
24. Thero is that scatteroth, and
iucreaseth yet more; And there is
that withholdeth more than Is meet,
but it tendoth billy to want.
25. The liberal soul shall bo
made fat; And he that watereth
shall be watered also himself.
He is the richest man In the es-
teem of the world who has acquir-
ed most; ,he is richest in the es-
teem of heaven who has given
most. Ho who gives his five barley
loaves and two small fishes into
the hands of Jesus sees the people
fed and gets twelve baskets over.
Set no limit to your gifts of money,
time, energy; 1n the act of giving
the whole that you have expended
will return to you, and more also,
26. He that wlthholdeth grain, the
people shall curse him; but bless-
ing shall be upon the head of him
that selletb it. In the early stages
of commerce there seems no waY
of making money rapidly so suro
as that of buying up corn in time
of death, waiting until the dearth
presses heavily, and then selling
at famine prices, That sort of thing
is going on all over the world to-
day.
Foolish Trust In Riches
27. He that diligently seekelh
good seeketh favor; But he that
searcheth after evil, it shall come
unto him. 28. He that trusteth iii
his riches shall fall; But the right-
eous shall flourish as the green
leaf. 29. He that troubleth his own
house shall Inherit the wind; And
the foolish shall be servant to the
wise of heart. 30, The fruit of the
righteous is a tree of lite; And he
that is wise winneth souls. 31. Be-
hold, the righteous shall be recom-
pensed in the earth; How much
more the wicked and the sinner!
Compare Ps. 99: 6, 7 and Prov.
10: 22. The man who trusts in his
riches is a man who expects that.
his riches will give him all that
he needs, not only of the material
things of life, but peace, and joy in
Ills own heart, loved ones, friends,
.a great reputation. Such a man Is
bound to be disappointed, because
wealth in itself will not at all bring
these things; neither is It able to
make these things permanently
abide in a man's life.
Stewardship
Luke 16: 11, If therefore ye have
not been faithful In the unrighl-
eous mammon, who will commit It
to your trust the true riches?
12. And if ye have not been faithful
In that which is another's, who will
givo you that which is your own?
"Mammon" is a Syrian word for
money. The money which men have
here is another's, even God's. In
comparison with the abiding treas-
ures of eternal things, which are
the true riches, It is temporal and
transient; and a tome is corning
when it shall fail: but if the man
who has been intrusted with it has
been unfaithful, and has approp-
fated to himself what really be•
longed to God, how can It be ex•
'petted that God will give him ea
during spiritual wealth and hap•
piness, which shall bo his very
own, inalienable possessions?
One Master To Serve
13. No servant can serve two
masters: for either he will have
the one, and love: the other; or
else he will hold to one. and de-
spise the . other, Ye cannot serve
God and Mammon. Mammon here is
personified as a deity, devotion to
whom is shown in "covetousness"
Jack Tar and Gob Fraternize
The spirit of friendship and good -will that has characterized
the relations between the i iritlsh Empire and the United States
here is dramatically typified by the American sailor, one of many
who brought some over -age destroyers to Eastern Canadian ports,
and the Royal Naval rating who has conic from his own country
to help man the ships during their voyage to the United Kingdom.
They are shown above on the stern of a U.S. destroyer.
which Is idolatry. This is an un-
compromising statement. In actual
life wo find that millions of so-
called Christians are seeking to fol-
low this out, but aro holding on
to the things of the world at the
same time, believing that they are
serving God. When a Christian is
serving God with the whole heart
and mind, he cannot love mammon;
and when he is seeking the things
of the world, putting money first,
he Is not serving God at all,

The prospective home owner is
advised to consider ceiling height
of the rooms, especially as it af-
fects general construction costs.
One of the chief features of
homes erected in the late nineties
and early 1900's was the high
lofty ceiling. This was believed
an aid in keeping the room cool.
Architects today lean toward
lower ceilings, having established
the fact that any space greater
than 12 inches above a window
head is of no cooling value unless

Dominion Gains
In Intellectuals
They're Moving Hera. •From
Ab r o a d --- Distinguished
Thinkers and Authors May
Improve Quality of Canadian
Literature
Speaking before the Canadaln
Authors' Association at Saint
Anne de Bellevue, Quebec, re-
cently, Jean Charles Harvey,
.editor of Le Jour, of Montreal,
pointed out that the Dominion
stood to gain from a literary
point of view by welcoming dis-
tinguished thinkers and authors
who are compelled to flee from
Europe. "The geniuses of an old
positor, "The geniuses of an old
world," he declared, "by migrat-
ing to our borders may become
so fond of our country, our free-
dom, that they may be the ex-
pression of our national life. By
giving those with eyes to see and
minds to understand the chance
to benefit by the glories of Can-
adian nature, Canadian litera-
ture would be stimulated into
growth and Canada would pro-
duce great writers, painters and
musicians."
There is much to be said for
Mr. Harvey's point of , view. The
United States' has. gained tre-
mendously by the number of dis-
tinguished scientists, philoso-
phers, writers and university
professors in variousdepart-
ments of knowledge who have
found, a .domicile in that country.
Canada can make no mistake in
opening its doors to scholarly
men who, because of their inde-
pendence of thought, find nr
place for their talents in Nazi -
dominated countries. There will
be a considerable exodus of this
type of men from Austria, Cze-
cho-Slovakia, Poland, France,
and other occupied countries.
Since the last war Canada has
made very substantial progress in
the development of its literature,
and every addition should be
welcomed.
Farm Notes

Fall Fertilization
Improves Pasture
There is no more important
crop in Canada than pasture, and
in the light of the production of
nutritious feed during the past
summer months, now is the time
to make plans to increase its
value. , If the pasture has not
given the results expected, asks
Paul Gervais, Dominion Experi-
mental Station, Lennoxville,
P.Q., what is the reason? Is it a
question of drainage, acidity, or
fertility that is at fault? In the
last case, commercial fertilizers
if used with judgment, will help
correct the situation.
Tests have disclosed that it is
better to spread fertilizer in
early September, rather than in
the spring. There are, however,
two exceptions to this rule: one
when the ground is too steep and
second when the fertilizer con-
tains nitrogen. In the latter case,
the phosphorous and potash may
be applied in the fall and the nit-
rogen in the following spring.
When a pasture is fertilized for
the first time, it is well to use
the highest amount mentioned.
The applications of fertilizer
should be repeated every three,
four or five years, depending on
the fertility of the soil and the
needs of the plants. These re-
commendations are general and
may be modified according to the
circumstances. . Pastures deteri-
orate not only by poor manage-
ment but also for lack of fer-
tilizing elements.

ing so?
3. Is it necessary that every-
body be introduced at a large
wedding reception?
4. Is it necessary fir the bride
lind groom to tell anyone the des-
tination of their honeymoon trip?

partners, isn't she privileged to
talk more to the one who is the
most 'interesting?
6. How should a servant ad-

Answers

The Perfect 'Child -
r•
The proper way to rear a "per-
feet/' child according to a mo-
ther who has, Clone so in the eyes
• of medical authorities, is to
avoid intricate health rules and
"don't try to force your child to,
.'eat."
The oather• is Mrs, Joseph C,
Thomson, of ,Peoria, Ill., whose
daughter, Joan Carole, age three,
was •one of two children given
100.per cent health ratings•_in the
Better Babies Conference con-
. test at the Illinois, State Fair at
Springfield.
MILK AND SUNSHINE
- Joan Carole was tied for first
place in the health contest with
the year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Wilbur Henry of Gillespie.
Henry is the former• Wib" •Hen-
ry of University df Illinois foot-"
ball fame, who now _coaches at
Gillespie high school. -
"Lots of milk and plenty of
sunshine are very important and
so are regular cliecktips with the
doctor and cl,entist," said , Mrs.,
Thompson.
Joan Carole arts a• heny
`breakfast, • but . goes 'fight at'
lunch and dinner. Last , year. herr
mother was afraid that loan was
not eating enough, to .provide the
necessary energy for strenuous
child play, but later -decided the
child's appetite was in proportion
to her needs.
