RETIRING •MAILMAN
HONORED BY FRIENDS
A large circle of friends, many of
whom were Box'holders of R.R. No. 3,
Blyth, along with others from his
home neighbourhood and the Village
of Auburn, gathered at the Forrester's
Hell, Auburn, last Friday night, to
honour Mr. and Mrs. George Mains.
Present were about tmo hundred well-
wishers of the esteemed ceuple, and
the evening proved a grand climax to
the twenty-two years of faithful
service which Mt Mains had rendered
as Rural Mail Carrier on Route 3.
'• Tho evening opened with danch's,
the music being furnished by talented
artists from the Westfield District.
The dancing continued up until lunch
tine, following which Mr. and Mrs.
Mains were called to the front of the
Hall for the presentation' of a beauti-
ful Lounge Chair and Ottoman.
Messrs, Leonard Cook, Fred Toll and
Wm. J. Dobie made the Presentation
and Mr. Jack Buchanan read the fol-
lowing address, which is typical of the
splendid feeling of friendship which
existed between Mr, Mains and the
people of Route 3.
Mr, George Mains,
Geordie,—For more than •twenty
years in sunshine and in rain, in the
sweltering heat., of summer and the
cold biting subzero winds of winter,
'through dust, through mud, throu.1
drifts of snow whenever it was at all
possible for man and horse to travel
on our roads, you daily carried His
Majesty's Mall on Route 3.
You Hurst have 'handled thousands
of letters, newspapers, magazines and
parcels sent by mail and we believe
with a minimum of mistakes. But for
all this you received your pay. That
was the service you contracted to
give, and we know you performed
your duties faithfully, your years as
mail deliverer is proof of that.
We the people on route 3 are sorry
to hear that you are quitting your job.
\Ve do not forget'1he hundreds' of ser-
vices you rendered us, services not
contracted for, but never the less ap-
parently cheerfully given. The little
arrant done, the parcels carried, the
nipples for baby's bottle, the worm
tablets for Willie, the lip -stick for
Mary, the tobacco for dad, the bread
the meat, the canned goods, the dry
€;nods, hundreds of things needed by
us when we were unable to get them
ourselves.
Wo may not always have shown our
appreciation at the time but now that
you are leaving us, we would like to
impress on you that we have appreci-
ated your services. And as a little
mark of that appreciation, we would
Hike you to accept from us this chair.
It looks to bo a comfortable dhair, we
hope you find it so and that you may
be spared many years to enjoy it.
Signed on behalf of the people on
Rural Route 3. Wm. J. Dobie, Fred
Toll, Jr., Leonard Cook and Alf Nes-
bit. •
.Mr. Mains replied very suitably to
the address, on behalf of his wife,
and the gathering Bang: "They're
Jolly Good Fellows."

time Was then spent until the

Members of the 1941 January Seaalon

week at Goderich, elected as their
Warden for tate year, James Leiper,
venerable Reeve of Hullett Township.

Oast Wawanosh, and Reeve Percy
Passmore, .ot Ushorne Township.
The honour of the Wardenship clim-
axes many year's of faithful service,
both to his home municipality and to
the County. 'Mr, Ledger first entered
municipal life as a councillor ot Hul-
lett Township thirty-five years ago,
and thirty years ago he made his
first trip to the County town in tate
capacity of the Reeve:Lip.
The appointment carries more than
the ueual interest for citizens of this
vicinity, all of whom know the una-
suming and kindly Mr. Leiper—When
he announced his intention to let his
name appear as a candidate for the
1941 \Vardenship, he had many well-
wishers, all of whom will join heartily
with us in extending him congratula-
tions.

istered by His Honour Judge T. M.
Costello, Warden Leiper expressed
his appreciation and thanks for the
honor accorded him. He was glad to
see so many of the former council
returned and welcomed new members.
He was proud of the part played by
Huron County in its. war endeavour
and in spending $03,000 on patriotid
purposes, including the purchase of
Sky Harbour airport, and hoped the
good work would be kept up and bet-
tered by this year's council; that not
a stone would be left unturned by the
county and the Dominion to rid' the
world of, Hltlerism. .
With the county free of debt for
the first time in' a hundred years, the
new warden asked that the centenary
of the county be observed fittingly,
He advocated a pay as you go policy
and, leaving the mill rate the same
as last year in order to allow further
assistance in the war effort. He asked
that consideration be given to prep-
arations for the Provincial plowing
match which is to be held in Huron
County in 1948, and expressed approval
of the purchase of additional land at
the County Home last year. Iknproved
roads were the result of creditable
work done by the road commission.

warden to the death of ex-Reevo
Oliver Hemingway of Hullett.

LESSON
CHRIST'S CONCERN FOR THE
. • LOST.—Luke 15. ••
PRINTED TEXT, Luke 15 : 1.10
GOLDEN `TEXT.—The Son of
man came to seek and to save
:,that which was lost, Luke 19 : 10.
TH)= LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—January, A.D. '30;
Place,—Some place in Peraea.
The grief. people experience over
things they have lost depends up-
on the value of these things. How
much more valuable than any
property or even a domesticated
animal is the loss of a soul—a man
or woman becoming an absolute
shipwreck, abandoned by men and
without God or hope. The hearts
of all studying this lesson should
be stirred up with a desire to go
out and seek men who know not
Christ. The theme of the parable,
In this lesson is the grace of•God—
the object of the chapter is not
so much to show how men are
saved, but why they are saved.
Three Parables
Luke la : 1. "Nov all the pub -
'leans and shuners were drawing
• near unto him to hear him." (A
publican in the New Testament
was a Jew in tho employ of the
Ronan Government collecting tax-
es, generally from fellow Jews,
for the' enrichment of the hated
officers who were enforcing the
laws of the Gentile power upon
these conquered children of Israel,
They were utterly despised by
other Israelites. Sinners here were
those not living h conformity with
the Levitical Law). 9. "And
both the Pharisees and the scribes
murmured, saying, This man re•
celveth sinners, and eateth with
them."
What our Lord now is about to
say contains first a precious mess-
age overflowing with hope, and
radiant with the love of God for
these poor publicans and sinners
who needed God so much in their
lives. Up to now they had been
prevented from coming to Him
by all the legalistic paraphernalia
which the Pharisee insisted upon.
This m es sage was for the
Pharisees and scribes, too, to
show them how far from the will
of God they were in condemning
the Lord Jesus for mingling with
such people as they despised, All
three of these parables move about
one word as it were, namely, the
word "lost"—a lost sheep, a lost
coin, and a lost man. The sheep
wanders away heedlessly, not of
set purpose, but drawn onward by
one tuft of sweet herbage after
another, till it has got out of sight
of the flock and hearing of the
shepherd, So many men stray away
,from God and Christ, not deliber-
ately, but simply because they fol-
low inclination and the desires of
the flesh. The coin, on the other
hand, rolls away by mere gravita-
tion, without volition; and many
men fall into dark corners of sin
almost as mechanically, But under
both the careless 'straying of the
sheep and the mechanical rolling
away of the "drachma" lies • the
selfishness and unbridled living of
the prodigal. All three parables
must be taken together."
The Lost Sheep
3, "And he epake unto them
this parable, saying, 4. What man
of you, having a hundred sheep,
and having lost one of them, doth
not leave the ninety and nine in •
the wilderness, and go after that
which is lost, until he find it?
S. And when he hath found it, he
layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing,
I. And when he cometh home, he
oalleth together his friends and
Ma neighbors, saying unto them
Rejoice with me, for I have found
my sheep which was lost. 7. I say
unto you, that even so there shall
be joy in heaven over one sinner
that repenteth, more than over
ninety and nine righteous persona,
who need no repentance." The,joy
of success is proportioned to the
difficulty, the doubtfulness of at-
taining it, Alt the hazards and sac-
rifices of the search are repaid by
the recovery of the lost, There is
no joy comparable to the joy of
successful love; of love, that is to
say, not only recognized and re-
turned, but which succeeds in mak•
Ing the object of it as happy as It
desires, and does so after many
repulses and misunderstandings
and hazards. This is God's greateet
Joy. It is token to mean here that
the "ninety and nine" had already
been eared.
The Lost Coin
8. "Or what woman having ten
pieces of silver, if she lose one
piece, doth not 'light a lamp, and
sweep the house, and seek diligent -
kr until she find it?" The general
inference from this and the pre-
Oeding parable is that each sinner
s so precious that God and His
Cninieters regard no efforts too
peat to reclaim such,
Men who today are exactly like
coins out of circulation, They are
snaking no contribution to life, use-
less individuals, relying upon the
ballet that they are not lnflvencing
anybody for evil. These people are
good enough when found, like the

Wore Crayon Stripes
Fashions set and worn by tho
Duke of Windsor are much fol-
lowed in the men's wear world,
and in view of the prominence of
suits including tailored ones, 'in
the women's field, it is worth
giving a second look to the suit
he was photographed in on his Pe-
cent visit to Miami, Fla.
The suit, with its low end
wide gorge, is a clue to current
edicts in men's fashions, and the
use of the wide, strong white ray-

FARM RADIO FORUM
Farah Radio Forum, which took
to the air in Eastern Canada
on January 21st, will be, a new
adventure, both for the CBC and
for thousands of Canadian farmers,
This series is to be heard each
Tuesday for twelve weeks at 10,00
to 10.30 EDST (9.00 - 9.30 p.m,
Standard) in Ontario and Quebec
and at 11.00 • 11.30 p.m, E.D.S.T.
(10.00 - 10.30 Atlantic Standard
Time) in the Maritimes. Ontario
listeners hear farm Radio Forum
over Stations CBL, Toronto and
CBO, Ottawa.
During this series of broadcasts
listeners will hear current farm
problems discussed by farmers
from "Sunnyridge Community" —
subjects like "Are There Too Many
Farmers?" and "Should Farmers
Grow More?" and so on.
The Old Timer will be heard in-
troducing farm men and women
from Sunnyridge. These folks in
turn will have their say and reach
their own conclusions regarding
what should be done to Improve
farm conditions.
"BETWEEN OURSELVES"
"Between Ourselves" is the title
R. B. Farrell uses for his pleasant
informal chats over the CBC net-
work at 12.16 on Sundays, Broad•
casting is but one facet of Mr.
Farrell's many-sided career, which
includes journalism, and several
years service with the colours,"
Based on his experience in the
Army and Navy, a recent series on
the history of Canadian regiments
by Mr. Farrell, proved extremely
interesting. Now, he is concentrat-
ing on current events of tho war.
On January 26th the topic of
"Between Ourselves" will be Col.
John McCrae, author of In Fland-
ers Fields, and on February tad,
under the subject "The .Present
Situation" he 'will describe some
of the present developments in the
progress of the war.

Seed Exhibition
e
Farmers haying surplus seed
of high quality for sale are urged
to have it cleaned and graded
immediately and to submit a
sample to the. Seed Display to
be held in connection with the
annual meeting of The Ontario
Crop, Improvenient -Association;
King Edward • Hotel, • Toronto,
.Feb, 10.14th.` •
The object of 'this seed dis-
play is to help the grower with
a surplus .in finding a market
with buyers who are looking for
high quality • seed.
The Ontario Plowmen's Asso-
ciation and tho Association of
Agricultural societies are hold-
ing annual conventions during.
the week at . the King Edward
Hotel and the Ontario Provincial
Winter Seed Pair will also be
held that week. Hundreds of
farmers will attend these events,
many of whoni will be looking
for good seed.
TO HELP THE GROWER
Only varieties which have been
accepted for registration or cer-
tification inay bo included in the
display and all seed must be
graded. The sample to be dis-
played in each case must • be ,re-
presentative of the bulk lot for
sale and the quantity shall be as
follows—grain and cora. 2 qts,;
clover and grass seed 1 qt.; po-
tatoes 10 lbs,
Suitable containers and tags
will be supplied; samples will be
on display during the entire week
and an attractive catalogue list-
ing all seed offered for sale will
bo prepared for distribution.
It is expected that ,there will
be a keen demand for good seed

Flaxseed Crop
Shows Increase
i
3,500,000 Bushel Yield Is
Largest In Canada Since 1930
•
The ,production of flaxseed in
Canada for crushing purposes
fluctuates widely from year to
year. This is due in part to
climatic conditions but mainly
to the wheat and flaxseed price
ration. During the past few
years 'the price situation has fa-
vored the, production of wheat
rather than flaxseed with the
result that the acreage 'under
flax was relatively low, states W.
G. McGregor of the Dominion
Experimental Farms,
In the spring of 1940 however,
the situation seemed to promise
better flax prices in relation to
wheat and as a result the acre-
age increased appreciably, •
Coinciding with the increased
acreage there was a high average
yield per acre with the result that
Canada produced the largest flax-
seed crop since 1930 with a yield
of about 3% million bushel's of
excellent quality.
WILL IMPORT LESS
During the past decade Canada
has imported both linseed and
linseed oil so that stocks on hand
are negligible. The paint, varnish
and allied industries consume
about 2,000,000 bushels annually.
Building and industrial activity
in recent years has increased
this consumption so it is esti-
mated that the total consumption
in the past year exceeded 3,000,-

eon to ask an intimate friend how
old he is?
2. When should a woman rise

G.' Should one use a fork or
the fingers when eating French
fried potatoes?
Answers
1. No. It is tactless to do so.
Some people are sensitive about
their ages. 2. Only when she is
the hostess. In this instance she
not only rises but extends her
hand in greeting. 3. Yes, if the
hostess has no servant. At least,
she.. should make a sincere offer
to do so. '4. Shakespeare's ans-
wer to this question is, "Unbid-
den guests are often welcomed
when they are gone." 5. Yes.;
this is often done. 6. The fork
should be used.

The Yogi idea that emotions
and thoughts are as solid as what
we term material things is' not so
fantastic as it may seem. A re-
search worker at St. Thomas'.
Hospital, London, declares that he
hasactually seen through waves.
He invented a sensitizer, which
enables him to observe waves
300 -millionths of a millimetre in
length, which he believes enan-
ate from the brain. This has yet
to be proved, but if it is, trans-
mission of thought will be
brought from a possibility to a
scientific probability. By a queer
coincidence, these thought waves
aro of exactly the same length
as the shortest rays which reach
us from the sun, which, maks one
wonder whether thougt and the
matter of the universe are linked
in some indefinable manner.

Fruits in the Diet
Fruits may be classed with
vegetables and milk as protective
foods. These foods supply very
little of the energy requirements
of the body but have other valu-
able properties. They help to
keep the human body system
functioning properly and correct
deficiencies of diets largely com-
posed of meat and starchy foods.
*Fruits in general are similar
in chemical composition to vege-
tables and both are valuable
sources of vitamin C, states J. T.
Janson, Division of Chemistry,
Science Service, Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture. This
vitamin is best known as the anti -
scurvy vitamin, but recent re-
search indicates that deficiency
of this vitamin is a factor in a
number of human ailments. While
the citrus fruits, oranges and
grapefruit, and tomatoes, are re-
commended as the most reliable--
fruits
eliablefruits to provide adequate intake
of vitamin C, other fruits, includ-
ing black currants and strawber-
ries, are excellent sources. The
vitamin C content of apples var-
ies considerably in different vari-
eties, but this fruit is generally
considered a fair source of vita-
min C. It has been found that
the tissue immediately next to
the peel has the highest content,
so that there is some advantage
in eating apples unpeeled.
AT LEAST ONCE DAILY
Vitamin C is readily destroyed
by oxidation or exposure to air.
Modern commercial canning prac-
tice retains most of the vitamin
in canned fruits. Dried fruits
generally have little vitamin C
poter.cy, Fruits are the chief
source of the alkali salts of the
organic acids, malic and citric.
These salts correct acid reactions
in the body, caused by the con-
sumption of proteins and starch-
es, and have mild laxative prop-
erties.
Recent biochemical research
indicates that pectin has valuable
colloidal properties which assist
the processes of digestion. Fruits
in general provide the best source
of pectin, although, the amount
and quality varies considerably in
different fruits. Pectin usually
reaches its maximum as to quan-
tity and, quality at ' maturity.
Apples are notable both for the
quality and quantityof pectin
and are one of the best sources
of this material. Fruits stimulate
the skin and kidneys and help
to keep the natural processes of
the body . functioning properly.
They should be served either raw
or cooked at .least once daily.

72nd ANNUAL MEETING
ROYAL BANK OF CANADA,
Morris W. Wilson, President and Managing Director, Calls For.
Drastic Economies by Public and Government to Permit
Full Measure of War Effort — War Savings Campaign Most
Important Feature Federal Financing
Sydney G. Dobson General Manager, Reports Unprecedented
Business Activity But Peak Not Yet Reached
Some of the factors having a vi-
tal bearing on the extent and ef-
fectiveness of Canada's War Effort
were dealt with extensively by
Morris \V, Wilson, President and
Managing Director, at the Seventy -
Second Annual Meeting of The
Royal Bank of Canada in Mont-
real. Mr, Wilson drew attention to
the fact that transition of Canada
from peace -time to war -time econ-
omy had been made without finan-
cial disturbance or strain, and re-
marked on the essential soundness
of Canada's financial position at
the present time,
Mr. Wilson, however, warned
that in the year ahead the finan-
cial problem would be more diffi-
cult and called for drastic retrench-
ment by the public and by gov-
ernments in order that the maxi-
mum effort might be devoted to
war purposes,
"There is little evidence of re-
striction of • even extravagant ex-
penditures on the part of the pub-
lic as a whole, except insofar as
this line of action has been made
necessary by the incidence of tax-
ation," ho said. "Unless the public
are prepared to save a very large
proportion of the increased wages
and salaries which are being dis-
tributed, there are three alterna-
tives before us:
(1) The Government must further
drastically increase taxation,
or
(2) A system of forced savings
must be adopted, or
(3) The• well known inflationary
spiral will steadily gain head-
way. , •
"Nor am I sure that Federal,
Provincial and Municipal authori-
ties have eliminated from their
budgets all unnecessary expendi-
tures
xpendititres and postponed all capital out-
lays that can possibly be deferred,
as they should do in war time."
TAXATION
Mr. Wilson expressed the opinion
that "a considerably larger propor-
tion of our costs should be met by
taxation than has been indicated
by any plans so far discussed, It
seems quite clear that at the pres-
ent tempo of business our national
income is • increasing at a much
greater mato than the aggregate of
all taxes." ,
Due.to present business activity
Provinces and Municipalities have
had the problem of unemployment
automatically solved for them and
for the same reason their revenues
have become increasingly buoyant,
"i trust this situation will result
in definite tax reductions by them
in order to cushion the effects of
greatly increased Federal taxa-
tion," said Mr. Wilson,
While admitting that no perfect
.scheme of taxing profits or income
had ever been devised, Mr. Wilson
expressed the opinion that present
corporation taxes aro not designed
to produce either the maximum re-
turns or to spread the incidence of
taxation fairly over industry as a
whole.
"I advocate nothing that would
tend to reduce total Federal cor-
poration taxes, but I am afraid
that the Excess Profits Tax is go-
ing to bear unfairly on companies
that during the period of the de
Kession have been far from pros-
perous, as compared with those
that have all along given a reason-
able return to shareholders,
"Before leaving the question of
war taxes, I should like to say that
I think the personal income tax
has been raised to the full extent
that Is economically desirable,"
WAR SAVINGS
Mr. Wilson considered the pres-
ent efforts to expand sales of \Var
Savings Certificates by far the
most important feature of Govern-
ment finance.
"This is not because of the sinus
involved. The great bulk of our
war financing must as usual be by
way of bond issues. But I feel that
it has not been sufficiently em-
phasized nor understood that sav-
ings by individuals in the lower
Income brackets are essential for
another reason of the greatest na-
tional importance. Once definite
shortages of labour, materials or
capital equipment appear, personal '
savings become imperative. At that,
stage, only by curtailment in the
production of consumers' goods
can the production of war materials
be increased. But surprising as it
may appear, those in the lower in-
come brackets aro responsible for
a great deal more than half the to-
tal purchases of consumers' goods.
Full use of increased purchasing
power would mean that instead of
the demand for ordinary goods
being reduced, it would be greatly •
increased, and to that extent would
stultify our war effort. But war
demands al'e• inexorable, and if
those who use the bulk of non-
military production will not reduce
their demands, the only way the
situation can be. adjusted is by a
rise in the price level proceeding
faster than increases in wages,
"This seems to me to be a com-
pelling argument for a compulsory,
saving plan if the people as a whole
do not respond to the present ap-
peal of the War Savings Commit-
tee; otherwise those who are too
weak or too selfish to face the is-
sue will have wasted a part of the
benefits which would have accrued
to the thrifty as well as to them-
selves."
WAGES
Mr. Wilson remarked with satis-
faction that Canada has been large-
ly free of labor disputes since the
beginning of the war and, "it is
essential that neither strikes nor
lockouts should be allowed to in-
terfere with production." He fa-
voured ,the Government plan for a
standard wage scale, supplemented
by bonuses to meet any rise in the
cost of living, the bonuses to ap-
ply. evenly on a per capita basis
and not as a percentage of exist -
lug wage rates. He felt that work-
ers would accept their share of
sacrifices if equal sacrifices are
made by salaried employees, ex-
ecutives and capital.
SIROIS REPORT
Referring to the conference of
Provincial Premiers to be convened
shortly, Mr. Wilson said, "the main
principes laid down in the Sirois
Report. can be said to commend
themselves to most dispassionate
observers." , "If, in the exaltation
of common sacrifice, a better plan
of Government cannot be found, 1:
greatly fear that it will not be
found when peace returns." ,
In conclusion, Mr. Wilson spoke
of the "terrible confirmation" dur-
ing 1940 of his statement made a
year ago, that "the very existence
of the Empire is at stake" in this
war. "I fear that at times we are
inclined to forget• the bloody ty-
ranny. within Germany. itself, the
steady extermination of the de-
fenceless Poles, the senseless
slaughter of 30,000 civilians in Rot-
terdam, the invasions of Norway,
Denmark, Holland, Belgium follow-
ing solemn undertakings to res-
pect their neutrality, and the wan-
ton destruction of historic build-
ings and -churches, sacred not only.
to the whole English-speaking
world but associated with the fin-
est traditions of all humanity.
These are things which we must
not forget if we are to retain a
proper appreciation of what we are
fighting against. The Iiew world
order proposed by Hitler is one 111
which truth and honour have no
meaning, law has no force, human
dignity no place; a corrupt and
corrupting tyranny, the qualifica-
tions for leadership of which em-
brace the basest traits of man,"
GENERAL MANAGER'S
ADDRESS
• In presenting the financial state-
ment for the year, S. G. Dob-
son, General Manager, stated that
Canadian business was experien-
cing unprecedented activity and
that the peak had not yet been
reached.
Extending thanks of Directors
and Executives .to the bank's 7,000
employees, Mr, Dobson said: "Four
hundred and forty-six members of
our staff have enlisted for military,
service, and one hundred tend
ty-eight more have been accepted
and are. subject to call. Leave of
absence has been granted to all
those who have enlisted, and posi-
tions will be available to them
when they return. Married men are
being paid the difference between
three-quarters of salary and army
pay and single men the difference
between two-thirds of salary and
aflliy pay,
"The employees of our two Lon-
don offices are performing their
daily work amidst the death and
destruction of modern warfare, and
are carrying on in the characteris-
tic British way. Wo cannot speak
too highly of their courage and
fortitude, which fill us with admir-
ation. Up to date there has been
only one fatal casualty,"
Under the stimulus of war, bust-
ness would experience still greater
activity during 1941, "The Royal
Bank," said Mr. Dobson, "Is fully,
equipped to take care of all addi-
tional demands which may be made
upon it to finance or otherwis
handle this increased activity and
thus contribute its share to Oen-
&da'a war effort."

"Home -Made Haircuts"
A ,gentleman In New York City,
raised on the back concessions of On-
tario has written to this column ask-
ing, "Where has the porridge bowl
'haircut gone to? I was particularly
disappointed on my last trip home to
find that there wasn't a single lad at
church on Sunday with one of the
old fashioned haircuts."
'The porridise bowl haircut is not as
common as it once was, but it's still
in style on our concession for at least
one fa,mily. The Jenkins family. next
farm to us, is a rather large one, and
had the clippers and a substantial -
looking bowl of some kind.
"I guess the lad will have to .start
going to the barber for his haircuts,"
remarked, Ed Jenkins as he clamped
the bowl down, "That's our largest
bowl and he's getting too big a 'head
for it."
Sure enough the bowl sat up pretty,
well on his hoed. I noticed then a
stack of bowls of the same color on
the table, and as the afternoon pro-
gressed, saw the Dad use different siz-
es as the boys 'were called in their
turn for the, hair -cutting process.
Ed. Jenkins is notwhat you would
call an artistic sort ot person. I not-
iced that he sheared up to a certain
point at the bowl's rim. When the.
bowl was removed the ,fringe was
trimmed off stratsht around the head,
leaving the impression that the lads
were ,wearing skull caps.
Growing quite emphatic in his argu-
ments over the Hon. Jimmy Gardiner's
farm confereiste in London, the bowl
slipped on the bead of the „third lad,
and he sliced a. white strip almost to

.A homemade haircut was a badge
of courage in my day, It seems like
yesterday to consider the time* we
wont into the village on a Saturday
afternoon and, with that trait of all
boys wanting to explore the store win-
dosys alone, my cousin and I Wander-
ed off by ourselves. In front of the
Alluephy Emporium two of the 'village
boys started yelling, "The rats been

Millinery and the old creamery and
then on the broad exams of a vacant
lot we settled the question,
We won the battle. I believe to' this
day that the advantage of not baying
hair to grab, over the two village boys
with ordinary, (fairly long hair, ,was
what won the day for us. We didn't
mind the home-made haircuts in those
days. There came a day, however,
when a certain, pert, little misi on the
Main Street loolced, at me and smiled
. and for the first time I was thor-
oughly conscious of the haircut. After
a persistent campaign, Father handed
mo a (mentor one day and told me to
,get my hair cut at Jim Slick's barber
shop . . reminding me as I left;
"Tell him to cut it up' fairly high so
the haircut will last lough."

The National Temperance
Study Course
Tho National Temperance Study
Course had its beginning in the train
and, heart of Mr. Fred Dougall of the
Alontreal WItneas and Northern Mes-
senger. He not only planned its out-
line and its carrying out, but ho large
ly financed it, He appealed to the
Dominion W.C.P.U. as an orsanizatios
through which it might bo most favor-
ably accepted. At that time Airs.
Gordon. Wright was president of the
Dominion W,C.T.U. She, with her
characteristic ability and enthusiasm,
brought it before her executive and
later before the Dominion convention,
where it was enthusiastically decideu
that it would be carried, out. Many
of the members contributed a hundred
dollars each towards the financing
of the project. For some years the
W.C.T.U. and the Religion's Education
al Council have jointly sponsored the
Course as of groat educational value
to our girls and boys. The .followinss
is a quotation from Rev. Duncan Mc-
TaVish, formerly of James St., Exeter
and now of London. "If the W .C.T. U.
did nothing else but promote the
Temperance Study Course, that, alone,
justifies its organization."
Tito present generation of voters
have done little to lurther' the tem-
perance cause and so make the path
safer for the oncoming generation.
Ithas been affirmed by many that
the government Liquor Store and bev-
erage rooms have made conditions
much worse than in the days of the
open bar, - The W.C.T.U. are tryinst

Toll Exceeds Half National Income,
Twice France's Whole War Budget
(hay a•Special Correspondent)
mhe cost of maintaining tile Ger-
man tt'oops occupying France has to
be paid by France at the rate of 2.9
million markrs. a day.
This sum was fixed by Article 18 of
the Franco-German Armistice terms,
reported on June 24, 1940.
- At the rate of exchange of Fr, 20 to
Rni, 1, fixed by the Armistice Commis-
sion, this amounts' to Fr, 145 milliard
a year,
But the whole French pre-war nation
al income•-t'hat is, the total of person-
al incomes did not exceed Fr, 290
milliard. •
This means that the Germans ar'
demanding under this head practically
50 per cent. of Francais. pre war na-
tional incomo. In view of the inevit-
able reduction of this income by the
disasters of war, the real proportion
is higher.
.The cost to Germany of the Allied
armies of occupation after the lass
war was less than one percent. of her
national income.
The French budget for 1939 was' Fr,
06 milliard, and the first war budge'
visa$ Fr, 79 milliard, Tho sums demand-
ed by the Germans is thus nearly
twice the total war budget, and more
than twice the normal peace bud -get of
France, •
Thhe cost to Germany of the Allied
armies, of occupation • was less than
seven percent of her.19.113 budget. and
just over three percent old her 1924
budget.
Le Journal says that one month's
maintenance of the German army at
the prescribed rate exceeded the com-
bined budget for 1939 of the French
• Ministries of War. Navy and Aviation.
The German army in France includes
the troops in the invasion ports, and
is not strictly an "army of -•occupa-
tion," Even if all troops are included,
the slum demanded is enormous,

EXHIBITS TELL STORY
It was not long before the or-
iginal Royal Ontario Museum
building was found to be inade-
quate for the rapidly expanding
exhibits and research material.
A new building was projected
and completed in 1933. The old
part was used as a wing and the
main entrance now faced on
Queen's Park. The Museum of
Zoology was given the. complete
upper floor of the east wing and
laboratories and workshops on
the ground floor. These exten-
sions of space enabled the insti-
tution to organize as a properly
constituted ' museum. '
In the development of the
Royal Ontario Museum of Zoo-
logy, it has always been the aim
to ,keep a proper balance between
exhibits and research that is, be-
tween the popular and the scien-
tific phases of museum work.
On the exhibition side, the aim
has been to make the exhibit tell
its own story with the minimum
of descriptive label. This is ac-
complished in part by the provis-
ion of accessory material design-
ed to suggest something of the
habitat in which animals live,
This trend in museum exhibition
has culminated in the habitat
group which depicts an animal
amid a representation of its na-
tural surroundings, Usually such
a group includes a panoramic
picture as a background. Only
two large habitat groups have so
far been attempted, these illus-
trating the black bear and the
passenger pigeon, but a series of
twenty-four smaller exhibits of
the sane type illustrate the ha-
bitat of a number' of common
Ontario mammals, birds and rep-
tiles. •
. Not all the museum's speci-
mens are on exhibition; in every
large natural history museum;
there are hundreds of specimens
preserved in the research collec-
tion for every one on exhibition
in the public galleries. One of
the primary functions of a mus-
eum of Zoology is to study the
animal life, particularly of the
region it serves. The specimens
on which such studies aro based
are secured chiefly by field sur-
veys carried out by the Museum's
own staff, but some material is
obtained by donation, by pur-
chase, and by exchange. The
need that existed. prior to the
establishment of the Royal On-
tario Museum for an institution
to investigate the animal life of
Ontario is shown by the fact,
that, since its inception, nearly
sixty species of vertebrates not
previously known to occur in On-
tario have been found within our
limits.

"CONFESSIONS OF AN
IMMIGRANT'S DAUGHTER"
by Laura G. Salverson
This is the tale of a stormy life;
the autobiography of a great Can-
adian.
Mrs. Salverson Is descended from
the last of the Viking nobles. Iter
parents—Icelanders who made the
voyage to Canada in '87- were
settlers who never settled down.
The account of their wanderings
over the North American contin-
ent, from one city and pioneer
settlement to another, and as far
south as the cotton country of the
Mississippi, is a boot; in itself. The
writer was a delicate child brought
up on the old Norse legends, who
was taken In hand by an extra-
ordinary woman, Aunt I-Ialdora.
There follow her experiences 'as a
professional dancer, her first love
affair and several years of gruel-

married to a compatriot and she
herself becomes one of the most
successful of Canadian novelists,

Read together, these five utter -
tutees depict for us in broad, gen-
eral outline the stage World War
II had arrived at last week. Both
parties to the conflict were taking
stock, feverishly preparing for the
climax spring was sure to bring.
Nazi Objectives
GERMANY. The whole world
knew (said "Time," Jan. 13) that it
would be to German advantage to
strike, hard and quickly, for many
reasons: to relieve pressure on
backtracking Italy, to batter down
the last resistance in the Balkans,
to bring France and Spain solidly
into the German orbit, to smash
the centre of the British Empire
- and Its No. 1 fleet base—before
American help to Britain could
reach decisive proportions.
Several of these moves were for
the moment stymied—Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria (with the tacit backing
of Russia), Turkey, were as firm
In their stand against the Nazis
se their relative strength would
allow; Spain for the moment
"wasn't having any"; the French
Cabinet held too many trump cards
(the fleet, and Weygand in Africa
and Syria) to lose so early the
game against Hitler. With regard
to Nazi chances of successful In-
vasion ot the British Isles, official
circles in Washington were of the
opinion the odds were definitely
against it,
Offensive and Defensive
BRITAIN: The British were still
in the main fighting a defensive
war with Germany, awaiting the
hour when they would have the
full weight of American produc-
tion behind them. Against Italy
they were conducting a highly -
successful offensive which gave
promise of broadening out to wipe
Mussolini's African Empire oft the
map, and weaken his position in
Enrcpe beyond repair.
Choice of Two Campaigns
in the Battle of the Mediterran-
ean, the British had the choice
of two major moves, of pressing
the offensive in north and east
Africa; or of waging war in the
Balkans in earnest—perhaps gain-
ing Turkey's adherence. The first
of these two` planned campaigns
would be the more likely to de-
velop,
• * •
Bread From Russia
RUSSIA; The new trade pact
signed last week under which the
Soviet Union undertook to increase
her contributions to Germany's
wartime breadbasket was viewed
as of tremendous international im-
portance. Besides broadening trade
relations between the two coun-
tries, the, agreemenes were said to
have fixed mutual boundaries in
newly -acquired territories and set-
tled resulting re-patriation prob-
lems (50,000 Germans in Soviet -
held lands would return to the
Reich). The signing of the -pact
followed weeks of increasing ten-
sion in the Balkans where the
massing of troops and reports of
rlisagreementit over control of the
mouths of the Danube gave rtae
to speculation that German -Russian
relations might be barfly strained.
With China, the Soviets signed
a new barter agreement exchang-
ing Itusslan military supplies and
machinery for Chinese tea and
manufactured products.
• • •
In Legislators' Hands
UNITED STATES: The Presi-
WINSTON CHURCHILL -1
dent's "lease -lend" bill ot all-out
aid to Britain was in process • of
passing the House of Represent•
atives, from where It Would go to
the Senate, Debate in the 'Upper
House was expected to continue
another three weeks at least.
Suoh delay in 'legislation would
do little harm to .the British war
cause, it was thought, since by
practical standards Americain war
aid to Britain was going ahead
about as fast as facilities permit-
ted, and past British cash orders
for planes, munitions, were mean-
time being filled,
The Convoy Question
Still considered of paramount
importance, though not talked
about freely in the open, was the
question of the U. 5, strengthen-
ing the British convoy system,
Everyone knew that the American
aid program would be futile unless
the goods produced could be de-
livered safely to Britain, It. was
expected that much would be done
temporarily to relieve British ship-
ping for war hauling, but the use
of American warships in convoys
would become a hot issue very
soon.

. , Shelved
CANADA: The mountain gave
birth to a mouse—stillborn, Three
years of work, millions of dollars
in cash,, hundreds of volumes of
research material, months of pub-
licity, appeared to have gone for
naught when the conference of nine
provincial premiers meeting in Ot-
tawa last week threw out the
Rowell-Sirois report (with its rec-
ommendations for reorganizing
Canada's financial structure) after
only a few hours' consideration.
Time alone could tell what effect
this rejection would have upon
the future of the Dominion. ,Per-
haps not as momentous a6 we .
might now think, Many wondered
who was right—Mr, King, who
maintained that the, adoption of
the report would assist in the war
effort; or Mr: Hepburn, who viol-'
ently opposed it, saying that the
time was altogther inopportune.
Now that the report had been

... Unappeased
A crowd of angry farm folk
taxed London, Ontario's, biggest
hall to capacity last week and
heckled Dominion Minister of Ag-
riculture Gardiner when he en-
deavored to explain to their satis-
faction the policies -of the Federal
Government regarding wartime, dif-
ficulties of Ontario farmers. Un-
appeased was the gathering which
asked for a bonus on hogs (now
being raised at less than produc-
tion costs); an increase in the
price of cheese; removal of the
peg on the price of butter;, ship-
ping of low-grade grain from the
west as feed for eastern live stock,
The reaction to Mr. Gardiner's
small concessions (a "floor" for
butter, slight increase in the price
of cheese) from Ontario farm lead-
ers was not favorable. The provin-
cial Minister of Agriculture was
"considerably disappointed." The
president of the United Farmers'
Co-operative said Mr, Gardiner's
recommendations were "very un-
satisfactory." The president of the
Canadian Federation of Agriculture
said the whole farm situation would
• be threshed out at the Federation
convention this week in Toronto.
To Increase Army
A report issued at Ottawa last
week by the Inter -Departmental
Committee on Labor Co-ordination
revealed that the Government is
planning an increase of 117,200
men in Canada's armed services
during 1941, Canada's munition -
making army during the same time
would be increased by 76,000 to
225,000, More than four new di-
visions (80,000)• are to be added
to the army this year.

John Churchill, the Duke of Mari -

was the illustrious ancestor of Prime
Minister Winston Churchill. Since
Marlborough's day, the Churchill fam-

Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill was born
Nov. 30, 1874, third son of Lord Randolph
Churchill and Lady Churchill, the former Miss
Jennie Jerome of New York. His grandfather
was the seventh Duke of Marlborough.
His school days at Harrow were the despair
of his parents. Winston was last in his class.
After two unuccesaful tries he finally was ad-
mitted to Sandhurst and immediately showed a
great enthusiasm for military life.

romance.

his brother.

rancher, knew too much about auto'

LAST WEEK: Monnle tells
Larry about the accident, how, she
was hurrying to Bentley's, almost
crashed into the other car on Dead
Man's Curve. Saw the car go over
the cliff and burn, heard the shot.
Bentley arrived, soon, tried to pull
the dead man from the ,wreck.
Bentley had seen the car speeding
"toward the hill, followed. The cor-
oner found evidence that the vic-
tim had been drinking. ''But Hugh
never drank liquor," Larry says.
CHAPTER VIII
Mounfe was silent, wanting to
believe Larry, but unable to com-
prehend how he could be so sure
that Hugh had not been drinking.
Larry went on:..
"Hugh never drank:: ',and' he
wasn't drunk -that,,tiight, `regard -
les of what .the coroner said he
foutul." He was certain of that.
" ivly uncle was a drunkard, and
Dad never got over it, When Hugh
and I wore youugeters, Dad explain-
ed. that we might have a taste, for
llgliot';nnd he ltatbd it so that both
Iltigli and 1 promised never to
drink. \Ve might have forgotten
that promise made as boys, but
Dad wus killed the next day. Hugh
would never have broken his word
eto
to Dad,"
"If it weren't for this drinking
angle, I'd think Hugh deliberate-
ly drove off the cliff to avoid run-.
'ling into you — Ilut if he'd been
drunk, he wouldn't have done that.
Someone knows more about that
'whiskey bottle in Hugh's car—and
I'm going to find out who It is,
and where that bott;e came from."
"But—yon don't blame me -for
what I did," 11Iouuie ventured, "and
fo`r not. telling the whole truth at
the inquest." . .
His arms were around her, pull-
ing iter clbbe to him. She did•not,
resist. '
. "I coulde!t blame you for any-
thing -you've done, Moonie," Larry
reassured her, "Yoil didn't kill

Iiia lips brushed het' soft, black

Wanted you to say that, Larry.
You; have to bettors me."
He bent to kiss her lips .

his feet. Surprised, half -angry, her

"I've -still got a job to do, find-

Tire black settled into a long

quarters. An hour later, he sat on
top the promontory overlooking
the scene of Hugh's fatal accident.
Visiting The • Scene
'To the right a white ribbon of

ward Bentley's house, Mike's houso,
he knew, was about five miles
away, Nearer, in the, same direc--
tion, all airline beacon' swung round
and round, flashing a pencil of

of the hill.
A steady drone of motors came
from above, Larry looked up, fol-
lowed the pin -point red and green
lights of the midnight. plane as it
sped its passengers .toward the
east. Only the sound of ,a light
wind, rustling the grass, disturbed
the silence,, after:;the• plane had
disappeared. -
Larry dismounted, led tho black,
sliding - and snorting, down tho
steep hillside to the Highway. He
tied the horse to the fence a few
lntitdred yards from the curve,
walked dawn the pavement,
He stopped at a newly painted
stretch of railing at the road's
edge, to peer down into the can-
yon where Monnie had watched the
burning wreckage of Hugh's car:
He could feel Hugh's nearness.
* *
An hour later, Larry returned
to his horse. He had found nothing
of particular value, but he had a
clear picture of the scene of the
accident, He would have to wait
for daylight to examine the floor
of the canyon. He mounted and
turned back toward the ranch -
house.

Helpful Hints
On Stockings
Reasonable Care Will Pro.
long Their Life
If you find by experience that
your favorite make of stockings
tends to shrink a little when wash-
ed,. it's, wise to buy, one. size larger
than the correct one,
You can toughen new stockings
by 'washing them before they are
worn. Just squeeze them gently
through lukewarm water, using no
soap. Then put tltent through a
second water containing a little
vinegar,• which helps • to fix the
color and strengthen the silk.
DON'T WEAR TWO DAYS
Yon 'should never. wear a stock -
two days running, without
washing' it, The reascins for this
.are: (1) Perspiration rots the attic
u'llc:s it is washed out ,inunetl-

the 'sone place. and it gets the rub

Make Broom
Sweep ;Clean
Watch Quality of Material
and Workmanship When
Buying One
A broom that sweeps clean is
a desirable piece of cleaning
equipment in every home. A
broom's' ability to sweep clean
and wear long defiends on the
quality of the material used and
the workmanship in construction.
Real broom corn has tiny, finger-
like tenacles at the end of each
straw which pick up the dust and
thus sweep glean, That is, a
good broom is made up of a lot
of little broom -shaped straws
tied together, says the Christian
Science Monitor,
The best quality straw is cut
at the proper stage of ripeness
to insure springiness. When buy-
ing a broom, separate the straws
to determine the quality and full-
ness. Make sure that the inside
is not padded with inferior ma-
terial like old or seedy straws;
then test the springiness by
pressing it down on the floor, •
TAKE 'CARE OF IT
What the the chief points in
construction? Good brooms are
well shaped to give good balance.
The rows of stitching — four or •
five is the usual namber — are
firm and accurate. The handle is
smooth, straight, and firmly fas-
tened to the broom.
Proper care increases the life-
time of a broom, Dip your new •
broom in warm water before us-
ing it,' then once a week there
after, That keeps the straws•
clean, fresh, and resilient. Al-.
ways hang the broom so that it
clears the floor. Warped, un-
even, and inefficient brooms re-
sult from improper case.

ment exempts higher -valued ani.;
nial3 from quota limitations, and
established separate quotas for
parts and articles made of fox•
furs and skins. The share to all
other foreign countries is 30,-
000. The agreement also limits
the total imports into the United
States of silver or black foxes
valued at less than $250 each,
and whole or black fox furs and
skins to 100,000 units in any
twelve-month period beginning
December 1, 19.1, or any subse-

Storage Space
Household Need
Unused Family Articles Re-
quire Adequate Cupboards
Storage space is an absolute
necessity in a 'house, no matter
what its size. One of the limita-
tions of many apartments is rho
relatively small amount of stor-
age space available. Every . family
has numerous possessions which
must be stored. Closets in bed-
rooms and a single closet for
storage of linens is, not enough,
either in an apartment or in a
house. . The average fttmily roust
in addition to. the clothing and
linens, store such things as
trunks, luggage, old toys, tennis
rackets, golf clubs, odd pieces of
"furniture, seasonal accessories
and decorations, winter clothes,
utensils and tools. not in use all
the time, and hundreds of other
small and large items.
In houses of traditional design
storage space . is usually provided
either in a basement or an attic.
In most modern houses, even
those which are not of so-called
"modern" design, both attic and
ba• ement have been eliminated.
This is justifiable in the eyes of
planners if adequate space for
storage is provided in other parts
of the house.
A sizable utility room which is
also used as a laundry will pro-
vide some space for storage. Au-
ditional space' con be made avail-
able in other parts of the house
or in the garage. Being above
ground, the garage space affords
a certain amount of light and air
and is probably better for stor-
age than the basement. If the
garage is attached to the house,
it may also be more convenient
.than attic storage space.
In Shadow Land
In Shadow Land, in Shadow Land,
The world is very flat,
The people there are tall and thin
And never, never fat;
They alivays walk along the
ground,
And never up like us—
I really think that Shadow folk
Are most ridiculous.
e
In Shadow Land, in Shadow Land,
The houses always lean,.
And there no lights in house or
street
Are ever to be seen;
No little paths with garden gates,
No little stairs or floors,
For Shadow folk run up their
wails,
And creep beneath their doors.
In Shadow Land, in Shadow Land,
You never hear a sound;
No birds are whistling overhead,
No footsteps stir the ground;
Oh, when I see it all like this
I cannot understand
How even Shadow folk can go
And live in Shadow Land!

NOW TO RELIEVE
PILE TORTURE
QUICKLY & EASILY
If you are troubled with Itching
piles or rectal soreness, do not delay,
treatment and run the risk of letting
this condition become chronic. An/,
itching or soreness or painful pass*
age of stool is nature's warning that
proper treatment should be secured
-at once.
For this purpose get a package of
Hem-Itoitl from your druggist and
use as directed. This 1lem-Ilotd
formula which is used internally In
tate form of a small, easy to take
tablet, will quickly 'Vlore the itch-
ing and soreness antr aid in healing
the sore tender spots. Hein-1lo1d is
pleasant to tise, is highly recom-
mended and it seems the height of
folly for any one to risk a painful
and chronic pile condition when such
a fine remedy may be hnd at so
reasonable a cost.
If you try Hem-Ilotd and are not
entirely pleased with the results,
your druggist will gladly return
your money.
