Leslie 'Emilie) Ili the nutrition of animals as well as of plants there are certain elements which, though required in very minute amounts, are nonethe- less absolutely essential to health and normal development, Iodine is one of these mighty atoms, The io- dine contained in the body of a grown man weighs less than a drop of water, yet lack of it would end existence, The small amounts of iodine required by animals are ab- sorbed mostly from food and wat- er. But sometimes the intake is too restricted, and symptoms ot io- dine deficiency appear. Protect Against Deficiency The thyroid gland is the centre of iodine concentration and con - troll nearly all body processes. Goitre in calves and lambs, joint- - 'orfoals, Hairlessness of youug pigs, etc„ indicate iodine defic- iency. Iodine promotes growth, in- creases production of milk and eggs, and the hatchability of the latter. Besides, it improves the quality of wool, Hair and fur. Io- dine is a necessary ingredient of balanced mineral supplements which protect livestock against de- ficiency diseases. Friendliness Is Princess' Charm . R i d e a u Hall's Chatelaine Proves Gracious and Sym- pathetic The friendliness of Princess Alice's smile, her warm sympathy and unaffected simplicity will mean more than her royal rank to Canad- ians who meet the chatelaine of Rideau Hall, writes Gladys Arnold. Recently at a reception in the viceregal residence a young officer of the R. C. A. F. stood nervously on the fringe of a gay, chatting crowd ot young Men in the uni- forms of the three services and smiling girls in simple afternoon frocks, Obviously he was shy and apparently knew nobody, Through the crowd stepped Prin- cess Alice. She noticed the young airman at once and with quick friendliness went straight up to him and in no time at all he was chatting away and evidently quite at home, "She spoke to me as though she had always known me—and' right away I met a lot of people," he said, "She's a real princess." LEOPOLD'S DAUGHTER, Princess Alice Mary was born in Windser Castle, February 23, 1883, daughter of Prince Leopold, fourth son and ninth chill of Queen Via toric. Alice Mary was a sprightly child, With delicate bones and viv- acity of temperament which gives her light step and youthful car- riage of today, Her hair has silvered but the brown of her eyes has not dimmed since the days when she played with her royal cousins and was teased by a lively, kindly young man who was later to become George V. Modern Ski 3,000 Years In Making r But First Historical Mehtion Of It Dates From Sixth Cen- tury -- Vikings Used It For Snow Travel The modern ski has some three thousand yearn of interesting de- velopment behind it, but the first ion of skis dates Wry, At that were using e shoes, for hese ancient skis were short, wide boards, cov- ered with seal -skin to grip the snow and to make climbing easy, but for downhill travel they could have been little better than the snowshoes of to -day. Late:, this difficulty was overcome by using one skin -covered ski or "andor" and one runner of polish- ed wood, the skier balancing him- self on the runner wiith the aid of a long heavy pole for the de- scents. The next improvement was the use of two wooden run- ners, but the early patterns of this type were turned up at ,both ends so that, if one point were• broken, the ski could be reversed ;the Norsenian's equivalent of the modern spare tire. MADE IN SEVERAL PATTERNS Nowadays skis are made in sev- eral patterns to meet special uses, such as jumping, racing, or general purposes, The favourite materials used in making them are hickory, ash, maple and bbirch, all of which have the quali- ties of toughness, flexibility, and hardness in varying degrees and combinations. Hickory, for ex• ample, makes a strong hard-wear- ing but rather heavy ski, ash makes a relatively light ski, while maple skis are reputed to be very fast, • LAMINATED TYPE NEWEST Experiments in making a la- minated ski composed of layers of different kinds of wood 'glued together in order to produce a stronger, more efficient ski with less waste of material were con- ducted by the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada as. far back as 1924. Although there have been many improvements in laminated skis since that time, the basic principle has been prov- ed sound and akis of this type are becoming increasingly popular. You Figure It Out — We're Busy When Virgll Schense, 24, of Aberdeen, S.D., uses the license he got to marry Dorothy .Nelson; 23, here's what will happen—all because Miss Nelson is .the sister. of Schense's father's second wife. Dorothy will become her sister's daughter-in-law; Virgil will be his stepmother's brother -In-law, also the brother-in-law of his own father. Coal production in Canadadur- ing the first eight months of 1940 amounted to 10,892,981 tons compared with 9,281,921 tons in the corresponding period of 1939. I RADIO I By "BRITAIN SPEAKS" The man whose voice has be• come known as the radio find of 1940 J. B. Priestley, will continue to be heard in 1941 as a member of the speaking group regularly presented over the CBC national network at 11,15 p.m. EAST. This is the feature, "Britain Speaks," produced by 'the BBC and re- broadcast In this country as a nightly program from Ottawa.'" Mrs. Priestley, who long since gained international fame as a writer and lecturer and who last year became one of the best known personalities on the air, is heard Sundays and Tuesdaye in this ser- ies, Leslie Howard, the British film and stage star who went home from Hollywood when war broke out, speaks for Britain ou Mon- days, Sir Philip Joubert, eminent authority on defense matters, gives his informative report on Wed- nesdays, William Holt, the York- shire weaver who has travelled all over the world and learned the ways of man and the things that touch his heart, brings fresh cour- age and new spirit on Thursdays. Two excellent speakers take alter- nate Friday nights for their re- ports on economic and military affairs. They are Philip Noel Baker and David Bowes -Lyon, the latter a brother of Iter Majesty, the Queen, The feature is scheduled in Canada each night except Sat- urday, at 11.16 p.m. r . • AROUND THE DIAL With all the new news regula- tions for Canadian radio for our heat, CKOC—from 1120 on your dial—still brings us the best news coverage, This station brings to Ontario news from everywhere at 8,15 and 7.46 each morning, -12.30 noon—and 6,15 and 11,00 each even- ing. • . WBDN at Buffalo is still able to uncork a smart show now and again, and one o1 the best is their International House Party heard every Monday, Wednesday and Fri- day at 7.30 (standard), This show has a Canadian ring that has mov- ed across the border. • • • Trivia: Organist Sydney Torch, whose recordings you have enjoy- ed many times, is now a wireless operator in the R, A.

MATERIAL In the better management of our natural resources certain institu• tions are of prime importance. We know that it we want to coutrol the harvesting of a wild crop we must have all the Information about it that we can get together, As an example, the law says we must itot take trout in the fall, and the law is based on the knowledge that the fish are reproducing at such times of the year. The har- vest of the trout is carried out in summer when it does the least harm to the species, So knowledge of all our natural resources is need- ed and one of the centres in On- tario for gathering this information is the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology. Museum of Zoology This institution was founded in 1915, a short time after the Mu- seum building on Bleor Street, To- ronto, was opened by the Duke of Connaught, Governor-General of Cantle, It was an outgrowth of the collections of the Biological Mu- seum of the University of Toronto, whose accumulation started before 1850. This collection had gradually become too big for the building in which it was housed and so a small teaching exhibit was left while the research material was moved to the Royal Ontario Museum build- ing, At Normal School Another early source of material was the Normal School collections, The Legislature of 1852-3 approp• mated 600 pounds Sterling per an• num to be used by the Museum of, the Normal School 'for the pur- chase of books, publications, speci- mens, models and other objects re- lating to education, Until atter 1896, natural history material seems to have occupied a very sub• sidiary position in the Normal School but an addition to the build- ing in this year allowed more apace to natural history, In 1906, the Normal School mu- seum was raised to the status of a Provincial Museum and Dr• Wil- liam Brodie was appointed first Provincial Biologist. His extensive collections were acquired and much sew material purchased from Mr. John Maughan who was commis - stoned further to complete the ex- hibits. In 1908, Mr, C. Nash, auth- or of the "Manual of the Verte• !mites of Ontario" presented his private collection of biology to this museum, and in 1910 succeeded Dr. Brodie as Provincial Biologist, Mr. - Natal died in 1926 and in 1933 the Normal School Museum was dos- ed, the biological material going to the Royal Ontario Museum of Zo- ology. When Retirement Means Boredom Leisure, Time Often Hangs Heavy On the Hands of Those Who Have Worked Hard All Their Lives Life can play queer jokes on people sometimes, says the Chat- ham News. In a Western city there was a grocer who worked very hard and saved his money religiously, so that his old age would be pro- vided for. For fifty years ho stuck to his grocery store. He worked and saved too hard to 'have very much fun, but he was looking for- ward to the clay when he could retire. Then he would have his fun. He would have money and leisure, and he would make up for the years of hard work. Well, he finally retired—money in the bank, an assured income, a nice hone, everything he need- ed. "Now," he told his friends, "I ani going to enjoy life." And just twenty-four hours after he retired he dropped dead. If a novelist put that in a book we wouldn't believe it. We would say that things don't really hap- pen that way, and we would ac- cuse the novelist of straining to_ o 'hard for an ironic effect. But life takes queer twists that are not pern{itted to 'good fiction. .Aa. a .matter, Of fact,' this sort: of thing 'happens fairly often—iii a: • little : different way.

The belief may be true tor professional crooks, but some new eye tests by Dr. Freder- ick K.

Half of them committed a "laboratory crime;" The other halt were innocent, The crime consist- ed either of killing a rat in the laboratory or sneaking out to com- mit ttetitions burglary. Both guilty and innocent were questioned as suspects in one or the other of misdeeds.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS (by Harry J. Boy'lei a saw. Finally, I ,started asking his 'advice about how he would take care of the bush lot. He explained . , • in fact, he talked all afternoon but he never slackened speed on the caw. 1 staggered up to the house for supper, and stalled for time before choring . . but he had the lantern lit and was sit- ting by the kitchen door in a madden- ing way that made me want to take the axe to him. He's talking about joining the army now. I'm hoping he'll be court•mailt- lalled for telling the general what to do on a day when the general doesn't feel like doing anything! "THE HIRED MAN" • Farmers, as a rule, complain about hired men. They delight in pointing out that so-and-so never takes a bath and that another pian is always try- ing to find easy jobs for himself, and still another will do only what you tell hint. Yet, down underneath it all, I honestly believe that they would re - titer have men inclined a little on the lazy side than on the "too -industrious" side. Take, for instance, our hired .man. I hired him in the honest opinion that he would be just the type to put in a __,-3-1.11121-of--Rhos ing, and who wouldn't mind overlooking the odd think as long as I didn't mention it. First of all, the handwriting appeared on the wall when he couldn't understand w'hy two of us should go to the village for the chop. Frankly speaking, I had to drop in for a little chat with Tim Murphy, at the store, and had figured he would take the grist to the shill and . 1 would ,hop back on the load when he headed for home. At the dinner table, w' en I casually mentioned that he would go in for the chop he pro- tested, "Oh, you go on in to the v!1' lave and I'll clean out that empty box stall." 1 started to say somethiing but I saw Mrs. Phil covering her face with her hand and I new that there was no need to go any further with the matter. That man can think of the oddest jobs. Our potatoes were hit by the wet weather last Fall and I had been intending to pick them over. \Ve were sitting around the house after dinner, enjoying a little .rest, when he sug- gested, "'How. be * we • pick over tho.se potatoes today?" There I was, trapped again. There wasn't a logical excuse in the world to put forward that Mrs. • Phil couldn't see through. She clinch- ed it by saying. "That's an excellent idea, Ernie." So we picked potatoes . . , a job I rather detest. For two weeks he 'has been talking about getting the wood up. I Manag- ed to side-track him each time. Casu- ally I like, to talk about getting the wood cut early in the winter and then on in the early part of March, when the snow begins to get warm, make a mad dash to get the wood out. It's not a reliable system . .. but it does give you -a little leisure in the middle of winter. Finally I consented to getting the wood out. .It was a nippy, frosty day when we started for the bush. A day to make your face tingle , . s. but the exercise of walking warmed you U. What do you suppose 'happened when .we got to the hush? He would, n't be a party to cutting down trees in the us] ,� way, No, he wanted to clean up tit© bush of old top' and dead trees and small thickets that were too clop^ ^td, stunting each other's growth, Have you ever spent a week tugging at old limbs ... and sawing up dead trees? have you ever tried -to thin out thickets of maple or beech? I did . and let me tell you, what little thrill there is in wood cutting certainly har, nothing to do with that kind of work. He sawed wood like he did every- thing verythin; else. He worked in dead earnest. I found myself with a'ba'ck that ached .and a ringing, splitting feeling in my head. I found myself stalling for something to talk about that would break' that dead monotony of pulling TIM STANDARD le RFLGRAVE' Mjwk ,eons on .Friday afternoon, The A very successful Euchre and (D• ance (president, C.

THIS YEAR, almost every man and woman in Canada will share the burden of paying for the war. A million new tt.xpayers will pay who never paid before. A personal budget payment plan is available to old taxpayers who are faced with substantially increased income taxes. Canadians are asked to shoulder their share of the war effort cheerfully and willingly. By pay- ing your income tax regularly you help to speed the production of war material, and bring the day of victory closer. Figure out how much tax you will have to pay, and arrange to pay promptly when due. Pay by instalments—the easy way—and save interest. Cut out this page and keep it for future reference. WHO PAYS INCOME TAX? If you are a single person without dependents, and your income in 1940 was more than $750,00 you pay general -income-tax. If you are a married person without depend- ents, and your income in 1940 was more than $1600.00 you pay general -income-tax. If you are a married person with children, you are allowed $400.00 exemption for each depend- ent child or grandchild, in addition to the $1600.00 exemption. NOTE: In addition to the general -income-tax you pay National Defence Tax on your total income without any exemption if you are single and your income goes over $600 or if you are married and your income goes over $1,200. is HOW DO YOU PAY? Your income tax 1 1 may be paid in the following ways, - 1. The Present Method: At least one-third of the tax to be paid by April 30th, the balance with in- terest at 6% from April 30th, to be paid by August 31st, On any balance unpaid after August 31st, the interest rate will be 8 %. 2. The Proposed Method: In 8 monthly instalments without in- terest. To take advantage of this new way of paying, the first indtal- ment must be paid on or before January 31st. ou must pay at least one-third of the estimated tax in four equal monthly instal- ments, in January, February, March and April, i.e. 1-12 of the estimated tax in each of the said 4 months. The remaining •two- thirds must be paid in four equal� monthly instalments in Maq, June, July and August, i.e, 1 -6th of the estimated tax in each of the said 4 months, (This will be in the amended law 3. The Recommended Method: This method will not be found in the law but it is a simple method, namely, in eight equal monthly instalments, without inter- est, commencing in January. To take 'advantage of the monthly payment plan without interest each payment must be made on or before the due dates. Otherwise interest will be charged on the total balance remaining unpaid after April 30th. EXAMPLE OF INSTALMENT PAYING -WITHOUT INTEREST If your estimated tax is $60.00you pay one-third •of the tax $20.00) in four instal- ments ($5.00 each) an the remaining two- thirds ($40,00) in four instalments ($10,00 each). Your payments are therefore as follows: On or Before On or Before Jan. 31 Feb. 28 $5 $5 On or Before On or Before May 31 June 30 $10 $10 On or Before Mar, 31 $5 On or Before July 31. $10 On or Before April 30 $5' On er Before Aug. 31 $10 = $60 However It . Is recommended that you pay your tax In eight equal monthly Instalments of $7.50 each=$60.00. Instalment Income Tax Remittance Forms are available at any post office, or any branch of any bank, or the office of the Inspector for your District, and their use will ensure accurato and proper alldcation of your payment. However, you can send in your instalments by ordinary. letter with your name and address plainly' stated thereon, clearly indicating the division between Provincial and Dominion Tax payments. HOW MUCH DO YOU PAY? The general -income-tax is pay- able on your net income less exemptions. If you are single, your exemp- tion is $750,00. Thus if your total income is $1,000.00 you must pay tax on $250.00. The exemption for a married person is $1,600.00 plur$400,00 for each dependent child or grandchild. Thus if you are a married man with two children and a total income of $2,600.00 your total exemptions are $1,600.00 plus $400.00 for each child, or $2,300.00 in all. So you pay tax on $300.00. Payment: You may send a cheque, Post Office or Money Order in payment of income tax by mail, to the Inspector of Income Tax for the District in which you reside, made payable to the Receiver General of Canada.Write plainly, '• and give your name in full so that mistakes in crediting may be avoided. Do . not send money or postage stamps in envelopes.

Man l GERMANY The Royal Commission on Do- minion • Provincial Relations Has Presented a Plan for Greater. Assistance to Municipalities by the Provinces (No, 6) , Right home as the Rowell•Sirois Report comes to every Canadian, It is of particular importance to ural Ontario. Not .only b it im- portant to rural Ontario because its implementation " will mean a better Canada, more able to look after its full share of carrying on the war in Its most effective and `effkieait manner, but it will mean, —and this le an outgrpwth of the same thing, --a raving in money and effort on the part of the coun- b7 as a whole. Here, as we have it now, there is tremendous overlapping in the conflict between the, provinces and the Dominion as to taxation, social services, and other services. Any- thing that will make this country of ours a better run country.is to the good for every one, of us. Problems for the Province But there are particular prob- lems which Will be dealt with much more effectively affecting the small communities, the municipalities, the 1d6l institutions, if the Re- port is accepted by the Dominion and the provinces at their con- ference which starts January 14th. There are many local needs which now have to be looked after out of the taxation of the small communities which really are prob- lems for the provinces as a whole. When a great part of the burden, -particularly that of • the unem- ployed employables,' and the pro- vincial debts and provincially guaranteed debts,—is taken from the shoulders of the province (as they will be it the Report is im- plemented), there will be greater assistance to the local centres and municipalities, by the province. Lower Taxes on Real Estate Take the case of real estate tax- es. The tax on property is high, far too high. Property has borne far more than it should for education. That has fallen on the small pro- perty holder in greater proportion than it bas on the big kroperty owner. With the case and burden et the province made lighter the province 'hill be able to do some- thing towards the assistance of the small property owner, much more than is being done now. The Report finds many cases of glaring inequalities, and also that real estate taxes are far too high. This is because the municipalities are badly in need of money and real estate taxation is one way of getting that money. But implement the Report in its general recom- mendations and there can't help but be an easing of the burden of the real estate owner. The Report dealing with muni- cipal revenue for the country as a -whole finds' that some 80 per cent of municipal revenue is obtained from real estate taxation. Burden From Small Man The Report goes on to say "We find many instances in which this tax (which for the bulk of the popu- lation is the heaviest paid in the course of the year) is twice as much in relation to property in- come for residents of some areas u for those in other areas in the same province." Implement the Rowell -Sire's Re- port and the first step towards lower property taxation is taken. And It is on the small man in the rural comm.nities that that bur- den falls. And remember the heart ad the Report is this: place the burden of taxation on the source best able to pay it. Canada win be a happier place, a better run country if the Report is implemented. And there is no one in the whole country who should realize that better than the Ontario farmer. Ontario May Curb Yule Tree Harvest Next Year Cutting of Trees For Christmas Purposes May Be Prohibited Premier M. F. Hepburn is critical of the annual waste of Christmas trees and it is quite possible that Queen's Park may take restrictive elation to check the annual cutting et trees, or at least limit it to pre - tent cutting beyond the ability of Se market to consume. "The trees are propagated and fifilstributed at the expenseof the taxpayers of Ontario," said Premier Y. F. Hepburn. "We have built up *se of the largest and best sys- tems ot tree nurseries in the world. I do nq$ think that we should per: lilt the trees which have been sup- plied from our nurseries to be ctft down for Christmas tree purposes alter they have attained a height of six or eight feet, and I am defin- itely against the destruction that baa been going on for years." Flour stocks in Canada in Oc- tober this year totalled 1,183,551 barrels compared with 940,605 barrels in October, 1939. RUSSIA BELGRADE YUGOSLAVIA MILES With the vanguard of a now German expedition estimated at be- tween 300,000 and 600,000 troops moving across Hungary to Rumania: (black arrows -1), diplomatic sources last week suggested at Budapest that pehaps Nazi Germany was planning action against Turkey and Greece (s'haded arrow -2) through Bulgaria, or preparing for a showdown with Soviet Russia (shaded area -3), or simply strengthen- ingmilitary forces in Rumania to assure civil order, or sparring for position against Russia. THE WAR • W EE K—Commentary on Current Events ROOSEVELT CASTS DIE AGAINST AXIS POWERS In a dramatic broadcast, the first since his re-election, Presi- dent Roosevelt last week stirred the democratic world with the de- claration — "based on the latest and beat information" — that the Axle powers were "not going to win this war". At the same time, stating that a British defeat meant that the U.S. would live at "point of gun", he called upon his nation to become the "great arsenal of democracy", to do all it could to support the nations defending themselves against at- tack by the Axis, The Conroy Question The President's call for "more ships, more guns, more planes,— mors of everything" for Great Britain focussed immediate at- tention on proposals to send 50 more destroyers and some army airplanes to the British. But more vital than these was the question of employing .vessels of the American navy to convoy ship- ments of material to the Old • Country. The problem was cer- tain to become urgent very shortly and upon its decision hinged the entry or non -entry of the United States into the war. (Before any further steps could be taken, however, Congress would have to approve of the President's pro- gram). "Next Ninety Days" The belief held by most obeer- vers last week was that •Hitler would try for a knock -out blow at England soon, even before spring, timing his "all-out" at- tack to come before the new American aid could be made ef- fective. "Tho next ninety days will be crucial ones for England," declared Arthur Purvis, Canadian head of the British Purchasing Mission, in Washington, Christ- mas week, Hitler's Counter•Blockade As well as having to stand for- ever on guard against German invasion attempts, Britain was having to fight harder and hard - LIFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred Neher (ISMO E NS.����/ii�ir�.....�,• Vii uo ii4,,,A /���rf/Y/60,40!\\„4„,,,-/5 "How do you like It parted on the side?" er, ' Hitler's counter • blockade which he Carries 6ilt'by meanssof submarines and dive -bombers and, reconnaissance planes flying con- tinuously over the shipping 'lanes. Htiler knew, and the British. knew, that North American pro- duction of planes and munitions upon ;which Britain •was relying, would mean hothing'unless deliv- eries `could .be Made; "The problem for the British," wrote correspondent John A. Ste- venson, "is to keep down the weekly losses of shipping to a level which will. not interfere seriously with the flow of vital armaments and war materials from' North America 'and the steady influx of foodstuffs re- quired to maintain the present scale of rationed sustenance for their population , .,.Obviously what is needed, is a larger num-. ber of .effective escort ships." Battle of Eire The question of whether Eire, the only part of the British, Commonwealth of Nations not,. warring with 'Germany, could maintain her neutrality was com- ing further to the forefront last week among the issues which may decide the war's outcome. The Battle of Eire was on. Stra- getically situated, the ports of Eire are a prize coveted .by both belligerents. They command tho western approaches to the be- seiged isles of Great Britain; and possession of them would en- able Britain to protect the bulk of her seaborne traffic. On the contrary, seizure` of the ports by the Na2i3s would make it possible for •Germany to sever vital ar- teries of British commerce. • • • Russo•Cerman Tension A heightening of tension in Russo -German relations high- lighted the week's 'war news. The Balkan situation appeared to be rapidly coming to a head follow- ing reports of hundreds of thous- ands of Nazi troops moving into Bulgaria; of a ' German division arriving in Albania; of hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops massed along the . Bessbarabian frontier of Rumania. A dramatic move by Russia to seize ' the mouths of the Danube' or the Dar- danelles was believed quite poa- 'sible, Turkey, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria — chiefly Bulgaria whose King continued to stand firm against the Axis — had bad cases of the jitters. But the' main German effort` was still thought to be concentrating in the west, with an attack on Britain top- most on the agenda. • * • Diplomatic Defeat Irl the Far East; Japan suffer- ed an important diplomatic de- feat in. its attempt to effect more friendly relations with Russia when Moscow refused 'to make premanent the temporary agree- ment over Jap fishing concessions off the Siberian coast. Further, the Soviet's refusal to accept the new order in China implied not only continuance of military as- sistance to Chiang Kai-Shek and eo-operation with the United States in Far East policy, but it meant that Japan would be un- able to relax vigilance on the Manchoukuan frontier or to push southward too aggressively. Changes Coming in Pacific Meanwhile China rushed plans for what appeared to be an early offensive against Japanese forces stationed in the Yangtze 'Valley, web would Slake impossible the transference of any large number o! Japanese troops for a south- ern drive.

Fine Teacher Knows Child In Relation to Family; Emo- tional Experiences and Sym- pathy You and I know some teachers who know their children not mere- ly by name and school. They know these children, every one of them, in a far wider sense, They know them 1n relation to their parents, brothers and sisters and play- mates, 'These teachers know much about the emotional experiences of these children, thele joys and sorrows, hopes and fears. They know how these children are treat- ed and uuderstood at home, Great ' and wonderful are such teachers. Money can't reward thein for what they do. We wish more teachers u'et'e like them, See how much greater in- fluence for • good they would have on their children and how much happier these •children would be and slow much faster they would learn, More than we realize, teachers can induce the child at school to want to help his parents at home and want to do some of the hard work there. More titan they real- ize, they can motivate the child at home to he a good companion to his younger or older brother or sis- ter, and a better playmate in the neighborhood, Some great teachers inspire their children to do right at home or anywhere else away from settee]. Thorough Cooking Safeguards Pork Hamilton Epidemic of Trich- inosis Blamed on Pigs Trichinosis, a disease contracted from' eating pork improperly cook- ed, had caused considerable illness in I-Iamilton and as. a result. Gov- ernment regulations governing the feeding of garbage to hogs would likely be introduced, Dr, J. Edgar Davey, Medical -Officer of Health, informed the Hamilton Board of Health at the December meeting, As the local epidemic was the first in Ontario, officials of the Government had given the matter considerable attention, he said, Ef- forts were made to trace the source of the diseaseand check was also made on the feeding of garbage to hogs. Cuttings from diseased pork, if thrown into kitchen garbage, then fed to pigs, would cause spread of the get'nt, the. health of- ficer advised. Thorough cooking of all pork was the safeguard and if this were done the consumer would be protected, said Mr, Davey, Full -Length Coat Seen For Spring Cut and Seamed With Skill; Little Tailleur Is Suit Pet r Suits and enseutl,les presented at this time in New York salons are aimed at resort wear.

"The demand is already greater: than can .be filled," .. . t ` - MASTER. , CttAFTSMEN ;-According to the records of the Handicraft Guild in Montreal, al- though the number of tourists dee creased this year, those who came from United States spent larger sums on peasant and Indian work, They were the people who knew handicraft and . can tell the best .stuff instantly. They are the people who spent large•sums in the Bal• kau.s, who bought the tyrolean jack- ets and the Hungarian and Czecho•. Slovak' embroideries, handmade blouses, scarves and costume jew- elry. NATIVE SCENES DEPICTED On three reserves, St, Regis, near Cornwall, atCaughnawaga and the Odenak reserve the Indian 'Affairs Branch has encouraged the Indians and in the past year. over $30,000 worth of articles have been sold without counting individual sales. Examples of work at the Indian Department reveal the Indians master craftsmen at depicting na- tive scenes and such symbols as -the "thunder, bird."
