MORRITT WINS REEIVESHIP BY LARGE MAJORITY The Electors of the .Muntciptility of Blyth unanimously endorsed a whole new Council in Monday's Municipal Election here, and in spite of the fact that the dray was exee.pt1onally stormy, with most of the track streets clogged with snow, the vote vas a fainly sizeable one. Ratepayers either braved the storm to walk out, or else were called for with cutters or sleighs, • A considerable time lapsed from the time the polis olosed at 5. P. M., before those in the booth filially tabulated the vote. This was undoubtedly due to the large number of candidates in the running for council. It was after 7 o'clock before the reasdt was finally mado known. The run for t'he Reeveship was a two-man affair between W. H, Merritt and, W. J. Potts, a member of last year's council, In the ballot counting• the lead quickly favoured Mr, Merritt, and tate windup found him in the lead by a majority of 117. In tho run for Council, nine offered their nares as candidates, with four out of the nine td be elected. Electeel wore W. H. Lyon, Alb. Taylor, Chester Morrison • and 5, W. Sibthorpe.

Hepburn, Prime elinister of Ontario. Mr. Hep- burn pointed out that if all or nearly all the 1940 plates were recovered, the Red Cross funds would benefit by a substantial sum and almost three hun- dred tons of scrap steel would be made available for war purposes. "I hope the motorists of Ontario will co-operate wholeheartedly, said Mt'. Hepburn. This arrangement gives them an opportunity to render effec- tive aid in two ways and at no cost to themselves.. Three hundred tons of steel would be an important aid to the war industries and tete cash derived from the sale of the metal will be et- fectively used by the Red Cross. in the present emergency, when steel stills are working tb capacity W?0 must avoid waste of material and I am sure that motorists will support this worth- while understeking. It is- understood• that the Red Cross Societys plan for the salvaging of the old plates has been made passible by the cooperation of imperial 011 Lim- ited and the members of the Automo- tive Transport Association. All Int Aerial 011 Service stations will act as collecting depots for the plates and Automotive Transport Association members have agreed to transport the collected plates to the steel mills.

TONER Federation of Ontario Anglers (NO. 19) OUR NATIVE TROUT Mention trout to the average angler and he thinks of only two kinds, the native speckled trout and the native lake trout. If the angler has fished .elsewhere the word "trout" will recall to his mind other kinds; perhaps rain- bow trout of the West; steelheads of the Pacific coast or brown trout of New York or Pennsyl- vania. However, thera are in Ontario no fewer than three in- troduced non-native species ani four indigenous kinds, The non-native species are the rainbow, the steelhead and the brown. The rainbow trout or- iginally lived in the mountains , of western North. America in the fast rivers and streams. In On- tario they are found in several rivers flowing into the Georgian Bay and Lake Superior and in sonic northern Ontario streams, The steelhead trout is not a true species for most biologists now regard it as a sea -going rainbow trout. This last has a tendency to run downstream after spawn- ing and where the rivers are n+hart, as on the Pacific coast, they • sometimes reach the sea where they find plenty of food, And Non -Natives The steelhead is a rainbow trout that lives permanently in salt water except when on the spawning runs into the rivers, Both the United States l3urueau of Fisheries and she Ontario Game and Fisheries Department have planted steelheads in Great Lakes waters where they have largely reverted to the rainbow type fr'Qf) which they are indis- iteguishable, The brown trout is a native of northern Europe. Two varieties have been widely introduced into the streams and lakes of eastern United States and Canada, Most of the original stock came from Germany, hence the name "Ger- man brown," but some lots of eggs came from Loch Leven in Scotland where a somewhat dif- ferent variety of brown trout was native. These Scottish fish are known as "Loch Leven trout" bet are indistinguishable after one or two generations in our water's, - SCOUTING 1 17,000 used medicine bottles of the desired size were collect- ed by the Boy Scouts of Saint John, N,B., for the district hos- pital unit of the R,C.A,M,C.

THE W AR -WEE K—Coinment,ary on Current Events BULGARIA MAKES STAND; BALKAN TENSION DROPS When the Bulgarian government, fortified by the backing. of Russia, refused to sign upas No, 7 in the German-Italian•Japanese • Huuger- lan•Rumanian•Slovapc axis, the democratic world breathed easier, Hitler's plans for a quick push down into Greece were effectively scoteted; his Near East drive was stalled within 260 miles of the Dar- danelles, while Axis -partner Mus- solini's legions floundered about in Albania, How Long A "Breather"? There was unconcealed relief in Sofia, where a government official declared that "It now appears cer- tain to us Bulgaria will not be in- volved in war this winter,". Never- theless the most optimistic observ- ers there believed that only a tem- porary respite was being afforded by the "Bulgarian breathing spell," that the Greek -Italian war would inevitably spread to Involve the remaining Balkan countries. flow long could Yugoslavia resist Axis .advances? Ilow long could Turkey stay out if Greece -found herself in serious difficulties under a new It- alian counteroffensive? Air War Grows Fiercer If Balkan tension relaxed last week,. the same could not be•said of the state of affairs In the Battle of Britain, Both sides intensified their air bombardments (the R. A, F. launched terrific attacks on Ger- man arul Italian tsar •factories, ports, railway centres, supply has- te; English towns and Industrial centres 'underwent merciless treat- ment by the Luftwaffe). Accord- ing to the British version, dunnage to Germany's industrial machine was much heavier and far more concentrated than anything the ?:alis had been able to accomplish in England, Both suffered heavily, wrote 'Edward Beattie Jr, of the Associated Press, but England could count on the advantage of canradian and other Empire produc- tion and a growing stream of new planes, guns and shells from the United. States. At the worst Eng- land could even move her factories to Canada, while Germany had only tbn doubtful and difficult possibil- ity of transferring her war plants to !tussle. Invasion Still Possible Sumo experts in Loudon last week held the view that growing British war strength, especially in bombers, and prospects for greatly. Increased American aid, might cause Hitler to abandon other plans In favor of invasion of Britain this hinter. Profiting by the period of heavy fog which . greatly restricts flying activities, the Germans might be tempted to risk an invasion with- out the usual air preparations, counting on the element of sur- prise and the difficulty of dislodg- ing their troops once firmly en- trenched. Httler, they evidently be- Ileved, might bo feeling that the risk of a winter invasion was now less than that of a Mediterranean n adventure; that If he Waited till spring, he might be too late, "We Must Have Ships" llltler's use of long-range bomb- er, operating from Brest In an at- tempt to canced•out American help. by blockading Atlantic shipping Innes still constituted a most ser- ious menace •to the British war effort—one which was evidently up- permost In the minds of Britain's war leaders last week, Ronald Cross, British minister of shipping, said in a broadcast that Britain was "anxious to get more ships built overseas. Wo are looking primar- ily to the ehlpyards of the United Smites :. ..We must have ahips— onr life here and the issues which hang on our having enough ships are so tremendous we cannot make 100 sure of our shipping position in the months and years ahead By themselves, the resources of the lilmpir'e are not enough," U. S. Loans in Offing Lord Lothian, British Ambass- ador to Washington, who returned to the U. S. last week, when asked if his report on Britain's position was optimistic, replied: "Optimistic, provided that we get help from you." The Ambassador told newsmen that financial assist- ance from the U. S. for Great Bri- tain was one of the problems to be met "In the first halt" of the new year, but'that It could wait for are - tion by the new Congress which convenes in January, (ft was well-knowu fu both Lou- don and Washington that before loans could he made to Great Bri- tain, Congresa would have to re- peal or amend the Johnson Act which bans credits to countries which defnnited on their First Great War debts; and the Neutral- ity Act, which for';ids loans to bel- ligerent nations), "Total Aid" Forthcoming? Meantime, the United States con- tinued to link its own defense with t'.t ;t of Britain's on an increasing- ly larger scale.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS (by Harry J, Boyle, "The Wood Pile" This column is being written at the direct suggestion of Mrs. Phil. For some time now she has been waging a campaign to have the wood in the woodshed piled up in a neat and Ord- erly way. So far the results have not been very satisfactory from her stand- point . . . Although as the winter evinds grow colder the pile of 'wood i grows .smaller. During the late summer the wood was piled up in the woodshed. but there was about seven cords of what we call "buzz wood" in a pile 'behind the barn. In an industrious mood one day, the hired man and myself brought it up and threw it into the woodshed. It just about filled up the space not already taken up by the pit - ed wood. The pile of wood was forgotten for several weeks. Came a cold spell, however, and Mile. Phil accasionally reminded us at the dinner table, "I wish you would pile that wood. Ft's a nuisance where it is now," "Well now, we can't do it today," I would s -y, "but the first day we can't work at anything else we'll make a raid on the woodpile and have it fixed up in no time at all." The clays went by, and then carne the snow. Getting t'he kindling at night you had to keep a watchful eye out for fear a peak. formed 'by under- mining In taking out the wood, would come rolling down on top of you. Cutting the kindling you were liable to glance It oil tie edge -of a round stick and feel a missle whizzing through the air past your ear, Mrs, Phil stopped mentioning the woodpile. That bothered my con- science and so, on several occasions, lance excuses were made at the supper table for the non -piling of the wood. WA, Phil retrained silent, However, elle did remind me to fill the wood- box in the morning with the an- nouncement that she wasn't going to risk 'her lite trying to fish wood out of the woodshed. How 1 watched the pile to see if the daily burning were taking it down any. At first I hadn't piled it on general reasons, but as the 'pile .grew smaller I felt justified in leaving it because it would soon be burned. 'However, ' two things happened which changed the situation entirely, On Monday night I was asked to got the old iron kettle. a small black pot which hangs from a spike on one of the rafters of the woodshed roof. After pretending not to hear, and be- coming absorbed in the paper, I was finally forced into going for the uten- sil. There it was hanging from the epike. It seemed so easy to walk up t'he side of the pile and reach for the kettle . . . it was too! Perhaps it was the added weight of the kettle. Something happened, and it happened nighty fast. Down went Phil and kettle and all , , , and when Mrs. Phil rescued us the kettle was halt full of wood and I was almost cover- ed by it. 1 couldn't ask for sympathy because I had brought it all on myself. To add insult to injury, on the very next evening I very foolishly went out to get wood without taking a light. One of those small, round treacherous poles happened to be under my heel .. , and what happened is better not told. However, I did fall and in fall. Ing my arm tipped the asst .bucket. It was the hired man who rescued me and that laughed tits made me realize that murder can sometimes be justi- fied. We're ending the menace of the !woodpile. The hired man is piling it today.

PRINTED TEXT, Luke 10: 25-37. GOLDEN TEXT.—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thy- self. Luke 10: ::'7. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING • Time.—November and December, A.D. 29, Place.—Tho Seventy were In- structed and the question of the . lawyer was answered, in some loc- ality in Per:tea, the territory east of the Jordc.n Rivet, In an area that to -day is almost a total wilder- ness. The episode recorded at the conclusion of the chapter occurred iu,the city of Bethany; on the east, ern slope .of the .Mutu>_t of. Oljves. The root meaning of our lesson today is that noticing will ever take the place of help extended to oth- ers in genuine C.'lu•istian' love. So. many hundreds of millions ot dol- lars aro being spout by the gov- ernment oyernment today that wo feel any- thing nything we can do is so insignificant and small and we deliberately avoid expending any effort or mak- ing any sacrifice to relieve those who might ba in distress. Groat multitudes of people in our land are in need. People in the next block from us, or. even next door. Meaning of Neighborliness Luke 10: 25. And behold, a cer- tain lawyer stood pp and made trial of him, saying, Teacher, what shall 1 do to inherit eternal life? 26. And he said unto him, What is writ- ten in tho law? how realest thou? 27. And he answering said, Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy strengtla, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself, 28. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt 'live. The words quoted by the lawyer may be called a summary of the law, as found in Deut. 6: 5; 10: 12; Lev. 19: 18, 29. But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who Ls my neighbor". The lawyer put his finger on one word which was ambiguous, and on which an argu- • meut could he raised. Ile seized an the one word which would bring out the real difference between the teaching of Jesus and the ortho- dox teaching of the authorized ex- pounders of the law of Israel, Jes- us in the parable of the Good Sam- aritan took the Old Testament pre cept, enlarged its horizon to in- clude all men whether Jews or not, and thus fulfilled or made full the law of Moses. The Good Samaritan 30. Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him halt dead. 31. And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by ou the other side; 32. And in like manner a Le- vite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the otltgr side. 33. But a certain Saniaritan, ae he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compas- sion. The man who had fallen am- ong the robbers was doubtless a Jew; for, had he been otherwise, the fact would have been stated. Now there was no question as to whether the word "neighbor" em- braced their fellow countrymen; the question was whether It pass- ed all their national hounds, open. Ing up lines of duty across the out- lying world, It is. therefore almost a necessity that one who teaches this lesson should himself be an alien, a foreigner, and Jesus choos- es the Samaritan as being of a race against which Jewish antlpathi were especially strong. The official duties ot the priest. at Jerusalem were over, and ho was on his way hack to his home in the city of Jericho. This parable implies the failure of the Jewish priesthood to pity or remove the misery and sin of man. Brotherhood of Man 34. And came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an bin; and took care ot him. 35. And on the morrow he took out 'two'shlllings, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; end whatsover thou spendest more, 1, ,when I came back again, will repay thee.

The navigation school at Port Albert, Ont., is divided into three sections --- an elementary course for air observers, a course in astrono- mical navigation for picked men, and a specialists' course for men show- ing unique adaptability for navigation, Members of a ground crew are shown in front of one of the bunkhouses of the school. not a grouping of factions, but a united body, indivisible, made of one blood and by one blood re- deemed. The second lesson of the parable is the lesson of mercy, pity, and self-sacrifice. It is because of the Samaritan's stoop of self -re - flouncing love that his character Is so exalted, his memory- so dear, and that Itis very name, which is a title without a name, flows down the ages like a sweet song. Physically Perfect Man Discovered A "physicaly perfect" man was found last week at the San Diego, Cal., marine base, He is 24 -year- old Bernard A. Nelson of Bris- tcw, Neb., given the perfect specimen rating by naval medical officers. Nelson attributes his perfect physique to rough food, an outdoor existence, no liquor or cigarettes. 1 Arctic Eiderdown A new industry which has ,sprung up in Arctic Canada should bring prosperity to the 1,500 Eskimos living in that re- gion. The Department of Mines and Research at Ottawa has giv- en permission to the Hudson Bay Company to collect eiderdown on the bird sanctuaries along the coast of Baffin Island. The col- lecting will be done by Eskimos in the slack period between hunt- ing and trapping seasons, and they are being taught to pick the down without scaring the ducks and causing them to aban- don their homes. The authorities believe that the first season's pickings will bring in thousands of pounds of down, and provide the Eskimos with much-needed goods.

Many.Sciences In Agriculture Dealing with scientific and Indus- trial research in Canada, the 1940 Canada Year Book saj's with refer• ettee to the Dominion Department of Agriculture that since the he - ginning of the•20th century there has boon a' remarkable change in the relattion of the farmer Fto the scientist.. The. scientist has taken Itis critical methods to the fields; the farmer has brought his prob. Ions to the laboratory. 20th Century Changes Thereis no one science of agri- culture: it 1s made up of many sciences, The tillage and fertility of soils, the growth and protec- tion of plants, the feeding and caro of animals, and the processing of farm products into human food and clothing present problems that the research worker solves by refer - once to the laws of a score of scien- ces. Because of the great diversity of effort required in reaching a practical solution, research on many problems is not limited to any one unit of the Dominion De- .partment of Agriculture. The major part of the research work, how- ever, is conducted in the Divisions of the Science Service and the Experimental Farms Sevrice.. Units of those two services are located to every province, The research work of the Department is co-ordin- ated with that of the agricultural colleges and the National Research Council, and there .1s an inter- change of personnel and facilities wherever the work will be benefit- ed, Christmas Toys Are "War -Lined" Tanks, Soldiers Will Be In Little Boys' Stockings This Year The war is making a change in the type of toys Santa Claus is going to pack into his bag at Christmas. A casual glance around toy shops and toy departments clear- ly indicates that the war trend has already made itself felt in the toy manufacturnig business. Tiny army tanks, bristling with toy guns, artillery, aircraft of every description, soldiers, and other war toys indicate that the toy manufacturers know boys like to watch a military parade and see troops and military equipment in "action." So the toy manufacturers are giving the boys what they want. TOY NURSES FOR GIRLS But not only the boys are war - minded, Girls play thein' part .in the war too, insofar as the toy world is concerned. For Christ- mas this year Santa will be bring- ing girls dolls dressed in uniforms of the Red Cross nurse and toy hospital ccts, some equipped with toy "patients" over whom the nurses can "work." Little girls who formerly play- ed with dolls that said "mama" or made other sounds which have been perfected by toy manufac- turers will be able to organize their own toy hospitals, "staffed" with toy nurses who have wound - cd soldiers, sailors cr airmen to care for.

Such tonsils should be removed, says the Health League of Canada. The tonsils have assumed an im- portant role in the economy of the child during the" last 30 years. The beneficial results following remov- al emoval of tonsils in selected cases has well justified the procedure. It has been shown that markedly hypertrophied tonsils and tonsils that are repeatedly inflamed, giving rise to attacks of tonsillitis and swollen neck glands, frequently im- pair normal physical development. , When such a condition exists atter four years of age it ,is advisable to 1tavii the tonsils removed, with the expectation that at least 50 • per cent of children so treated will he materially improved. Take Out Diseased Ones It is undeniable that the child popula4ion of the country has ex• perience(1 better physical develop- ment with fewer interruptions due to mild and prolonged illnesses in the last 30 years. Infant, mortality has been reduced and fatal illness in the school ago occurs less often. While the widespread application of public health procedures such as pasterization of milk, the safe- guarding of water supplies and entre of foods, and the health education of the public has had the meet in- fluence in this direction, it must be admitted that eradication of un- healthy tonsils has played a son. slderablo role In .the physical im- provement of the race. Tho slugle question to be deter- mined in respect to the tonsils of a child is: Are these tonsils dis- eased? If so, they should prinnpily be removed, Canadian Furs For The U.

Soy Bean Is Good Food For Stock Acreage Grown in Canada In- . creasing, Says Department of Agriculture Recent increases in the soybean acreage in Canada has resulted from the large number of small patches grown by- individual farm- ers for hone consumption. In most cases the crop 1A growin to mattll'- ity with the intention of feeding the beans to livestock. 30 - 40 PERCENT PROTEIN Soybean seed normally contains from 30 to 40 per cent of protein and compares favorably in feeding valub with other concentrated feeds, such as linseed.end cotton seed oil ,meal, states the Division of Forage Plants, Dominion Experimental Farms Service. The growing of soy- bean seed for feed will produce, at a moderate cost, the high protein concentrate necessary for stock feeding and milk production, The amount of soybeans included in the grain ration of dairy cows is usual- ly around 15 per cent, but thia will vary somewhat according to the kind of hay that is being fed. The beans should be mixed with the other grain previous to grinding, as the high oil content of soybeans makes them difficult to grind alone, Soy -beans hay is about equal to alfalfa hay in feeding value, ac- cording to both feeding tests and chemical analysis, It is customary to cut the hay at the time when the pods are about half filled out. Soybean straw from threshed soy- beans, while not high in feeding value, has been used satisfactorily as a roughage for, wintering dry rows and beef rattle. It is also good roughage for sheep.

Ile snips two inches off, and elands this back as a receipt. An- ,,ther portion of two inches is, kept in the pest office as the of- ficial receipt. The remaining six inches are pinned on the letter. On arrival at the office of delivery, another two inches are taken off and re- tained in the office file. 'rhea two »lore inches are sent back from the office of delivery to the original post office, \;hence the letter was despatched, to show. that it has been safely received.
