C.P,R, Freight Cars Jump'
Track Near Auburn
It's net often that this district has
a train•wreok, and when it was learn-
ed last Friday morning that a frelgiit
train bound for Torontoon the G,P,R.
Lines, had jumped the rails just east
of Auburn, Why -naturally everyone
was inquisitive and several from hero
as well as a large majority of the po-
pulation of Auburn and district, went
to see what the trouble was.
The freight was .made up of five
cars, and as it approached a point a-
bout a half mile east of Auburn, the
third car from • the @aging left the
track, taking the remaining two with
1t, ands' together with their cargo of
wheat and flour, rolled down an em-
bankment.
Fortunately 'no one was- injured,
and the cars, of ,steel construction,
suffered only minor damage. One car
which apparently lanaed on one end,
was. bulged, and some new trucks
wore run under the cars before they
proceeded on their journey. The con-
tents were intact,
An auxiliary crow from Toronto
was sent up,, and work commenced
immediately to clear the tracks, and
by two o'clock Saturday morning, the
Line was clear again, and the freight
continued it's journey.
The regular noon passenger train
was held in Blyth when' it arrived,
but finally a train teas. sent out from
Gbderich and the two met at the scene
of the wreck, when mail was transfer-
red and taken on to Goderich.
During the course of retailing
searchlights were used for lighting
. after dark.
' Reasons for the accident 'have not
yet been ascertained,. '

diers on active' service should, there-
fore, now be addressed as follows:—
"The designation "C.A,S.111. c -o

follows—Regimental No,, rank and

District Towns Report On
War Savings Campaign
Many towns in this district have
reported their progress on the Cant-
paigzr to sell War Saving Certificates
and Bonds.
A .start by the canvassers . in Blyth
has been made, and Put for the storm
some progress might have beeu re-
ported. Citizens w'ho have been called
mese far, have shown a splendid spir-
it, and there seems little doubt' but
that everyone realizes the urgency of
the cause.
For the benefit of any who may
still not understand the idea—When
the: canvassers call, you will be asked
to pledge yourself in what ever man-
ner. and to what amount, your finan-
cial circumstances will permit, to-
wards the furtherance of the war ef-
fort. It is not a case of giving any-
thing, but is the best investment on
the market. The Government must
be sure of sufficient funds if it is to
exercise the war program to the full-
est extent,

other towns have done so tar:

For Canada�U. S. Defence
"Complete plans for the
defence of Canada .and the
United States are. now in ex -
i, tonce." -- Mayor F. H. La
Guardia of New York City,
Chairman U.S..Canada joint
defence • commission.
Committed by their Prime Min-
ister Mackenzie King to an all-
out war effort, Canadians last
week saw gigantic preparations
being made in the capital to step
up the training of young men for
the army, navy and air force;
and to speed the manufacturing
of mountains of war material
for Britain. In more detail, the
1941 objective of the Dominion
Government's military plans
were: 1. To provide 25 Canadian
air squadrons for overseas ser-
vice, graduates of the British
Commonwealth Air Training
Plan; 2, To increase the present
strength of men in the air train-
ing plan • to double what it was
in 1910; 3. To increase the Can-
adian Navy to double its present
number of ships; 4, To manufac-
ture destroyers and long-range
bombers and concentrate on pro.
ducing weapons not obtainable
in the United States; 5. To send
overseas the Third Canadian Di-
vision now training in Canada
with complement of corps
troops for the three divisions, an
army tank brigade and a Can-
adian armoured division; 6, To
recruit for the active army 40,-
000 to 80,000 men; 7. To put
200,000 additional men and wo-
men to work in war industries;
8. Diversion of a great part of
Canada's peace -time industry to
war production.
The Canadian Army
Pointing towards these objec-
tives, the compulsory military
training period for young men
of 21 was extended from 30 days
to 4 month_, (First period to
begin March 20 — from 6,000 to
6,500 to ae called up each
month). And every reserve milk
tia unit in Canada, except the
ones with battalions already
abroad, was notified by defence
authorities that it must prepare
for mo:,iaation for overseas ser-
vice.
Legislators Re -convene
All these projects — and how
they were going to be paid for --
occupied the minds of our mem-
bers of parliament this week as
they gathered once again in the
Goes to Brazil
Jean t)esy, former Canadian
minister to Belgium and the
Netherlands, is being named to
the newly -created post of Can-
adian minister to Brazil,
Dominion House of Commons,
and in the Ontario Legislature,
The session at Ottawa was ex-
pected to last through till May,
or maybe later; the session at
Toronto, it was forecast, would
be "long in debate and short in
contentious legislation."
Canada the Pivot
In an address at the University
of Toronto last week, Professor
R. A. MacKay of Dalhousie Uni-
versity, Halifax, declared that
Canada was taking the place of
France in world strategy and had
become the pivot "around which
the present world war was being
staged," Further, he said, Can-
ada glad. become Britain's second
partner in the war against Ger-
many and the principal partner
of ti,r; Uniteu States in defence
of the Western, Hemisphere.
"We are allied now with both
• Britain and the United States . ."
Corroborating this statement
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of
New York City, Chairman of the
joint U.S.-Canada defence com-
mission . told the United States
Senate Foreign Relations Com-
JIttee that "complete plans "for
oint defence of Canada and the
nited States are now in exist-
ce, These plans, he said, em-

B>' * vote' of 260 to 165, the •
United States House of Repre-
sentatives last week passed the
momentous "Lease -Lend" bill,
empowering President' Roosevelt
to lease, lend or otherwise trans-
fer the sinews of war to embat-
tled Britain and 'other nations
whose defence he should deem
vital to the defence of the United
States, Tho bill was not expect-
ed to fare so well in the Senate
where the legislators, it was
thought, were more anxious to
put a curb on the President':' im.
pulsiveness, by passing a number
of restrictive amendments.. •
Aid More Immediate
MI sorbs of rumors were cur-
rent last week as to the Presi-
dent's plans for provision of, lm -
mediate aid to Britain, Final
passage of the "Lease -Lend" bill
early in March would mean that
merchant ships, bombing planes,
tanks and infantry rifles would
be• transferred to Britain as soon
as possible, But In the mean-
time, it was expected that the
President would do something
more spectacular, following Wen-
dell Willkie's recommendations --
trade American destroyers for
British battleships; or destroyers
for land bases in the Pacific.
(The Bill does not prohibit provis-
ion of American ships in Brit-
ish convoys).
.Japan and Canada
United .• States' entry • into the
war, now -viewed • as a strong.'pos-
sibility, ' would also mean 'Japan's,
according::.to the terms 'of the
Tripartite Pact signed last Year •
by Germany ,ltaly and Japan.: A
new front in the seoond world
war would be opened up in the.
Pacific, -- with Canada's west .

and a new area to be defended,
The. war would bo brought much
closer to Canadians,

' 1 THE MARQUIS OF LORNE, KT., G.C.M.G.
GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF CANADA/1878.1883
cT2 20 1
A Charter was signed
On February 15, 1881, the Marquis of Lorne, then Governor-General
of Canada, signed the charter of the Canadian Pacific Railway. That
signature consummated the vision of great Canadian statesmen —Sir
John A. Macdonald, D'Arcy McGee, Sir Georges -Etienne Cartier, and
Sir Charles Tupper -that the new Dominion of Canada should be linked
from Atlantic to Pacific by a trans -continental railway—and implemented
the pledge under which British Columbia entered Confederation.
So began a new era in Canadian unity and Empire solidarity ... for
the Railway expanded into a system spanning two oceans and linking
three continents. Today - as in 1914-18 --a proud responsibility
rests on our transportation and communication systems — railway,
steamships, freight,express, telegraphs and- engineering shops,
Canadian Paciflc officers and employees everywhere are co-operating
—each in his- own fleld--towards the common goal ... VICTORY.
When that goal is reached—and it will be reached—this will be.
due, in . no small measure, to Canada's contribution, and to the'
vision and foresight of the men who, sixty years ago, planned the
construction of the first Canadian trans -continental railway.

Fingernails
Need Moisture
v.
Shouldn't Be Sealed Away
Or They WIII Get Brittle
To break or not to break is
the problem, with those long ta-
pering nails we're all wearing
nowadays. Everyone has a dif-
ferent theory about what makes
nails brittle. Dry climate, diet,
dishwashing, typing — all have
their supporters. And• of course
the longer we weal' our nails, the
more trouble we have with break-
age. That's one reason we hear
more_ groans of, "Heavens, there
goes another nail!" than we used
to when nail fashions hadn't gone
to the lengths they have today,
NAILS NEED A REST?
Opinions about nail polish
vary, Some people let their
nails "rest" for a few days, on
the theory that polish is hard on
them, Others believe..that polish
actually helps to preserve the
nails by hiving them added sup•
port and helping them to resist
lyear and teat',
Nails that split or break off in
layers frequently have been de-
prived of the moisture they re-
quire to keep them flexible, Nails
need contact with the air to get
this moisture, They must not be
smothered by a polish that. pre-
vents the exchange of moisture
between nails and air.

One of the thing.; confronting
the homemaker at this season of
the year is the empty shelves in
the fruit. cupboards — and many

to marmalade as a method of solv-

asked to repeat my grapefruit,

feel that this is the place to do
it.
Grapefruit, Orange and Lemon

The first thing of importance
is the choosing of the fruit. Do
not think that fruit, which you
have had in the house for some-
time, (unless kept with the great-

be file for marmalade. If' you
are to have success with '.your
marmalade .venture it 1110St: be
made from the very best , selec-
tion of fruit. That is one rea-
son why I have stated I prefer
slaking this marmalade at Christ-
mas time, for the stores then
seem to offer a better selection
of fruit.

Usually he's too busy in the day-

Yesterday he sat down without arga-

a chance for a better job, Phil. I hate
to leave now, after you've been so
good to me all winter. I just don't

The Whole story carne out then: He
had a chance -to go and-work'with his
brother in a factory in the city. The
wages would be twice as much as I
could pay even int the summer months:
No wonder he was fussing around, •
The long and shtirt of the story is
that he's lone. I took him to the sta-

fine kind of a young man. He's always
wanted to get a fannt of Itis own, and
he's been saving up for that purpose

.Germany's Real Strength •
In The Air -
Germany's strength to the air is e*
timated at an absolute total of 40,00u
machines of .which fewer than 18,000
are combat; types, The number avail-
able 3or full operation at any given
time is about 9,000, According to auth-
oritative estimates, It is unlikely that
Germany would be able to assemble
6,000 aeroplanes on her opening as -
Sault on ,Britain.
Estimates which place German air
strength as high as 74,000 or 80,004
"fighting types" are dismissed as non-
senetcal.
The air correspondent of the Lon.
den Sunday Times, in an analysis of
German air, strength, points out that
Germany has seven regplar air fleets
To these must be added the navat air
services operating separately and . an
operational training division whichto-
gether constitute total "first line"
strength of the Luftwaffe.
. These formations have a first line
strength (including first line re-
serves) of 24,400 with an operational
strength of 12,000 av_atlable at any
Moment,
Behind, lie reserve pool and unfin-
ished machines amounting to approxi-
mately 50 per cent as well as some
5,000 trainers and communicat ton air-
craft. This brings the grand total of
all German aircraft to about 40000.
The estimate is incomplete, howev-
er,
owever, without mention of -production los-
ses. Records show R.A.F. have Scor•
tdnearly 6,000 confirmed victories ov
er• German aeroplanes in all engage-
ments since the war began, Expert•
ence suggests as a reasonable estimate
that for every machine lost in combat
two were put out _ of service by acct•
dents and unrecorded" victories.. This
does not include training losses usu.
ally._estimated at 15 per cent per
month,
Thus total losses ot the Luftwaffe
since war began counting .Polish, Nor-
wegian, Dutch; Belgian, French and
British campaigns are not far short of
24,000 machines,
When war opened, German produc-
tion of first line tyles was about 1,040
a month. It is now estimated at I
about 1,600 per month (total about
2,300 all types). An average of 1,400
first line machines per month is prob.
ably ,not far wrong.
Thus, to replace losses of 24,000
Germany has built about the same
nymber of aircraft and Luftwafe can-
not be said to have expanded during
the war.
The• Royal Air Force, on the othe!
hand., has more machines than when ,
war began,

JESUS CALLS TO PRAYER
Luke 18.
PRINTED TEXT, Luke 18: 1.14.
GOLDEN TEXT—Lord, teach us to
pray, Luke 11: 1. •
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time. --March, A.D. 29.
P I ace,--Peraea,
Do we know of anything in Chris -
Alan. life today more needed than
a return to prayer as a great real-
ity, a source of power and victory.
• Our; Lord in this lesson tells us
aome of the conditions which must
prevail in our hearts when we ap-
proach God in prayer, if we are to
expect to have Him gladly, instant-
-.
nstant••. ly, hear our .petitions, ,
Hove To Pray
Luke 18 : 1. "And be spake a
parable unto them to the end that
they, ought always to- pray, and
not to "faint;" "Faint' here means
Ilterally _"to. gife in, let"go, or give
up." 'Christ declares• in- effect that
this is the alternative before every
ono of us, to pray or to faint, To
pray is to have the .vision clear,
the virtue nighty, the victory as-
sured..\Vhen a–mam'"faints in 'the
day of adversity,; it is because a
line of comminnication has some-
how been cut, he has become sep-
arated from his spiritual resourc-
es. 2. Saying, There was in.a city
a judge, who feared not God, and
regarded not man: 3. And there
was a widow in that city; and she
came oft unto him, saying, Avenge
me of mine adversary." A widow
in typical of defenselessness. This
poor woman was being beset by
someone who was, the parable
would imply, without any justice
whatever trying to take away her
property or her small -inheritance.
The widow went to the judge.
The Unrighteous Judge
4. "And he would not for a while:
but afterward he said within him -
'elf, Though I fear not God, nor re-
gard man; 5. yet because this wt.
dow troubleth me, I will avenge
her, lest she wear me out. by her
. continual coming." To attend to
her plea, at first meant trouble for
the judge; not to attend to it, is
going_ to" mean, greater trouble. The
judge was vulnerable only on the
nide of his selfishness. His reason
Or not listening becomes a reason
for listening. G. "And the Lord said,
Hear what the unrighteous judge
Faith. 7. And shall not God avenge
his elect, that cry to him day and
night, and yet he is long suffering
over them? 8. I say unto you, that
be will avenge them speedily." In
other words, if that unrighteous
judge, to save his own miserable
life from bruising, gives in answer
to importunity, is it not certain,
too, that God who is righteous will
act speedily? Because we have a
God quick and ready to answer
every cry of the oppressed in the
right way, prayer can be main.
tained constantly.
"Nevertheless, when tf.e Son of
roan cometh, shall he find faith on
the earth?" Christ rather hints here
that Wore the last days, faith in
His promise may almost disappear
tram the earth, that the world will
be more madly defiant than ever,
that His disciples will be fewer
and more discouraged than ever,
just before He comes to 'avenge
Hie own elect' and answer the
yries of centuries.
Need For Humility
9. "And he spake also this par-
tible unto certain who trust, fi in
themselves that they were right-
eous, and set all others at nought,"
There are many people in the world
exactly like -those to whom Christ
addresses this parable, people who
think they are absolutely suffic-
ient In themselves, who believe
chat because of philanthropies, or
'because they have a Large payroll
And make good provision for their
employees, because they contribute
to the support of a minister, be -
they say prayers every nighty
it go to mass every morning, or
take part In all charitable under-
takings, and have never killed any-
one, or ever come home drunk,
that they certainly must stand well
with God. These are the kind of
people who, sufficient unto them-
selves, despise others. The word
Imre translated "despise" means
"to treat as nothing, to regard as
mere ciphers."
Two Prayers
10, "Two Hien went up Into the
temple to pray; the one a Pharisee,
end the other a publican." The
Pharisee was a man, self-righteous,
who kept the Law in all of rte
tbinute details, The publican was
',imply a Jew whose profession was
that of a tax -gatherer, prone to coy
xnption and bribery. 11. "The Phar -
bee stood and prayed time with
biniselt," God, I thank thee, that 1
am not, as the rest of them, ex-
tortioners, - unjust, adulterers, or
erten as this publican. 12. I fent
twice in the week; I give tithes of
all that 1 get." This really is no
prayer at all --merely an utterance
et %elf•congratulation, He does not
even thank God that he is not as
the others. 13. "But the publican,
standing afar off, wont(' not lift up
so much art hta eyes onto heaven,
but smote his brae, 'eying, $ed,

out sin. He had sin, But he asked
God for forgiveness and received
it. When God 'justifies' a sinner,
it does not mean that that moment.
that man becomes in his own char•
actor a person absolutely right-
eous, without any sin whatever,
but it does mean that Cod has

"COME WIND, COME WEATHER"

One of the most spectacular ef-
forts at maintaining morale among
the bomb -shattered population of
Great Britain has been the recep-
tion" given Daphne DuMaurier's
little book, "Come Wind, Come
Weather" which sold over 000,000
copies during the closing months
of 1940, It is now being republish-
ed in the United States and trans.
lated Into a number of foreign ton-
gues. In Canada, Ryerson Press
announces, publication of an edi-
tion to sell at ,25c.
A special foreword "Word to Can-
ada" cabled by the authoress says
that the book was written for the
people of Britain in the hope 1t
would bring courage and strength
to them in a time of crisis, and
concludes with an eloquent appeal
to the people of the Dominion to
march "shoulder to' shoulder until
victory is finally won."

OUR HAWKS AND OWLS
Few of our birds are more
prosecuted than are the hawks
and owls, Every farmer and
sportsman shoots at them on
sight, yet the biologists tell us
that they do not, as a class, do -
serve the bad reputation that
they have. Some are distinctly
beneficial to the farmer; others
take poultry and game to some
extent; all pay for living room
by keeping the mouse population
under control. They have a
place in the scheme of nature
and they would be sadly missed
by the bird watcher if they be-
came extinct,
The hawks that take poultry
from the farmyard are the sharp
and Cooper's hawk, though the
redtail and the marsh hawk will
grab the odd chicken from the
fields, The red -shouldered and
the broad -winged are not addict-
ed to taking birds, as mice or
other small creatures, mako up
a great percentage of their food.
The sparrow hawk feeds mainly
on insects while the osprey catch-
es fish.
How They Benefit Us
I am not going to describe
these birds for it would take too
much space and my readers will
find full descriptions in P. A,

Eggs Require
Cool Treatment
1
Producers in .many parts of
the country aro observing im-
provements which are being made
in the premises of egg dealers.
Those changes are being made:
under the new requirement of
th egg grading regulations that
eggs may be graded only in Reg-
istered Stations and that, for
registration, they shall comply
with certain specifications re-
garding premises and grading
equipment.
These Registered Egg Grad-
ing Stations May be in preten-
tious or modest quarters. Some
will use basement premises to
meet the requirement that they
must be cool during the summer
ntotiths. Others, doing a larger
business, are 'installing mechani-
cal refrigeration. All, large or
small, will help 'to achieve the
main objective which is to stim-
ulate the production and market-
ing of eggs of the best possible
quality.
NOT OVER 67 DEGREES
The egg grading regulations
that have been in operation since
1923 have performed a valuable,
service to the Canadian poultry
industry by improving the quality
of eggs and thereby building up
a greater demand for them, But
the highest possible duality in
eggs and the greatest benefit to
the industry have not yet been
attained, for the simple reason
that facilities for keeping eggs
at the requisite coolness, parti-
cularly in hot weather have not
always been avilable, Heat over
67 degress • Fahrenheit has been
the greatest enemy of quality in
eggs. This fact is generally
known and many producers have
taken a deal of trouble to act
up to this knowledge, . only at
times to see their work undone
by careless handling at grading
stations.
Now, with the establishment of
registered egg grading stations,
eggs will be kept at the requisite
coolness, that is, 67 degrees F.
maximum, and thus encourage-
ment will be given to those pro-
ducers who regularly kept their
eggs cool and an example set
to those who paid little attention
to the matter.

seems to stand still, The people
are quite simple and unspoilt and
their belief in demons and gods
remains unchanged. On New
Year's morning the temples ,are
decorated by the girls of the vil-

tiiues, throw the sacred hibiscus
blossom, which is held between
their patens, to invisible' gods,

each village has a process* in
which masks and effigies are car-
ried. It is supposed that the evil
spirits, faced by their grim coun-
terparts, will vanish in fear dur-

"Auld Lang Syne," the most.
famous New Year song in the

Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERT,A LEE
V
1, Should children bo taught
what some people call "company
manners"?
2, When a hostess knows that
a guest ' is dieting, isn't it incon'
siderate for her to insist that the
guest eat more than she de-
sires?
3. Is it perinissablo to ask a
friend to introduce you to other
people?
4. Isn',t it proper, when shak-
ing hands, to bold the hand at
about chin level?
5. Should every guest at a
wedding reception congratulate
the bride and bridegroom?
6. Isn't it nice and thoughtful
for a husband to send his wife a
Valentine?
Answers
1. No, They should be taught
that good manners are for daily
use in the home, office, and on
the street, as Lyell as when in the
presence of company. 2. Yes.
Whether the guest is dieting or
not, a hostess should never urge
that sho eat more than she de-
sires, 3, Never, unless you are
sure the meeting would be a mu-.
tual pleasure, 4. No; this is af•
'fection. The band : should be
slightly above the waist level.
5. The bridegroom should be
congratulated, but not the bride.
Ono should extend best wishes
for- happiness to.. the ' bride.
6, •Yes. He may send one of the
pictured kind or it niay be candy
or flowers,

ATMOSPHERIC SUN TIDES
K. G. Meldahl ' has published
in Copenhagen a book in which
he presents conclusions from
studies of tides in the atmos-
phere of the sun, which he as-
cribes to gravitational disturban;
ces produced by the planets, The
planets studied were Mercury,.
Vellus, the Earth,_ Jupiter and
Saturn. The first ' three are
small planets, but relatively close
to the sun, while the latter two
aro very large, but at consider-
able distances, Tho half periods
of the planets and the combina-
tion of their effects were studied
with reference to positions on the
sun's surface and not to " space
co-ordinates. Allowance was
made for the rotation of the sun
and the manner in which dis-
turbances clove on its surface.
He reports that the tidal effects
give a curve which corresponds
to the curve of the sun=spot
cycle. The cycle has a length
of about 11,25 years which cor-
responds to the sun -spot cycle.

HEALTH
TOPICS
Early Symptoms
Of Tuberculosis
In an article written for
"Health", official organ of the
Health League of Canada, short-
ly before his death last month,
the late Dr, J. W. S. McCullough
defines the early symptoms of
tuberculosis as:
Being 'too easily tired,
Loss of weight,
Indigestion, and
A cough that hangs on.
Pleurisy may be one of the
first signs of tuberculosis in ad-
ults, as may be a spitting of
blood, however slight, Nervous-
ness, disturbed sleep and a run-
down condition are all symptoms
to be suspected,
The tubercle bacillus is passed
from person to • person in various
ways, Dr. McOullough points out.
The consumptive who coughs
with uncovered mouth sprays the
air around him with the bacilli.
If ho spits on the floor or side-
walk the germs are likely to be
mixed with dust and blown about
for others to breathe. Bacilli may
be deposited on a spoon, drink -
Ing cup, pipe or other article held
in the. mouth of a victim, If
these are used without a thor-
ough cleansing by a healthy per-
son, he may contract the disease
as a result,
BY WAY OF PREVENTION
Unpasteurized milk, if taken
from a tuberculous cow, is like-
ly to infect the drinker. A tu-
berculous another who kisses her

By way of prevention, Dr. Mc-
Cullough urged that children of
school or pre=school age, students
in secondary schools and workers
be examined, periodically by ,a
T,B, expert,
There is no serum, vaccine .or
medicine that will cure tubercul-
osis, and patent medicines are
likely only to, make matters
worse, Dr. McCullough declares;
but tuberculosis may -be cured if
taken in time, and the one rem-
edy which has •stood the -test' of •
time is complete rest in bed.
He urges the sanatorium as the
best place for the treatment of
the tuberculous patient, not only
because he will receive expert
and unceasing care, but because
ho will be no longer a danger to
his family and associates.
