Thousands of Canadians have been fascinated by her prizewinning novel "Itdbeoca". They have read the book, seen the film,' and will now be able to hoar the voice of this well- known author in her first broadcast to Canada. Daphne du Maurier is. the wife of the youngest brigadier in the British Ar- my and mother of three small children. Seeking to use the gifts of 'her pen' for National service, Mrs. du Maurier 'has • 'turned from fiction to write true stork lesof men and women in Britain'who have stood firm under fire. She has seen romance in the lives of these loyal workers behind the headlines in Britain --the miners, the housewives, the mothers• who have given their sons to serve, the doctors, and the trades• men, who in following the common daily round, have turned the dangers and difficulties of wartime into op- portunities to sproad a spirit of victory on the Home Front. From her experiences with these people she has written her latest book 'sOome Wind, Come Weather", which in a few months has become the war's best seller in Britain, and it is of these men and women that she will speak to Canadta over the Canadian Broad- casting Corporation's network. on Sat- urday, March let, at 7.45 p, in.

MEETING The regular meeting of the A. Y. .1' A. was held at' the home of Dr,- and Mrs, Vokes on Monday, February 24, The meeting opened by singing the chorus "Turn your eyes upon Jesus," Edith Wright gave an interesting dis- cussion on the Lord's Prayer after which the minutes were read and business discussed. The' topic, which was taken by Dr. Vokes consisted of a r ..'ger of Quiz questions from the Bible. Everyone enjoyed a contest "Fin- ishing Proverbs" con'duXI by. Edith Wright. It was decided that we should hold our next meeting on March 17th, at the home of Dr. and M'rs. Yokes, The meeting closed, with the Bene- diction. Hullett Council Postponed.

The auditor's, Monteith 8 Monteith, of Stratford will not have the books commpleted in time for the regular meeting date. Beavers And Indians Still Look Good For the first time this year, the Seaforth Beavers appear to be sitting in the drivers seat in their Group. On Wednesday night they defeated the classy Waterloo Siskins by a 5.1 score to go one up in the best three -in - five series for the Group title. It was the third game of the series, and the Beavers have won two in• a row, win- ning at New Hamburg on Monday night by a score of 5 to 3. _ Waterloo won the opener of the series last Fri- day night in Seaforth by a 4.2 score. So now, probably for the first time this season, the Beavers can be con-' sidered favourites for the Group title. They started the season very badly. losing three straight, but in the latter half cavae up strong to eliminate the Tavistock Green iirts, and take the .second slot, sig a play-off berth. Then in the first game of the Finals at Seaforth they finished on the short end of a 4-2 score, and those who saw the game, admitted that it looked bad for the Beavers, but when they tied the series in the second game, their stock rose considerably in value, al- though 'Waterloo were still favourites. Last night's win should strengthen ev- en the most pessimistic fans 'hopes. Waterloo has to win two in a row now which is a pretty tough job against` the Beavers., Should Waterloo win the next game, which will probably be played in New Hamburg on Friday night, then the fifth and deciding game will likely bo played on neutral ice. Most of the hockey fans in this lis - tract took the the game at Wingham Wednesday evening. It was "do or die" for the Wingham Indians against Paisley in their Group Finals. Pais- ley sprung a mild surpise by defeat- ing the Indians in the first game on Monday night by a 7 to 5 score, apd on the season''s play, it appeared that the Paisley Sunocos might scalp the Indians and eliminate them in two straight. However last nt;ht's game had hardly started until the Indians took the lead. It was 3-0 at the end of the first period, and although the score of 8-3 was hardly an indication of the play, the Indians won hanl1111y. Paisley had several Lucknow players in their line-up, but even this failed to help then pull a two -straight win Just where the third game will be played has not yet been decided, but it may be in Wingham. If money talks, and it usually does, the game will like- ly be in Wingham, where the seating oapacity is good, and a crowd of 1500 is almost assured. The Paisley rink has a small seating capacity, and a much smaller ice ear:ace than Wing - ham. WIN THE WAR -- SMASH HITLER -- BUY WAR SAVING CERTIFICATES .1.. 11/11111.1.11.111110. NIL Saving :Ontario's Natural Resources • .•a+••.. G. C. TONER Ontario Federation of Anglers (NO, 31) MICE AND BIRDS The relation between mice and predatory birds, hawks and owls, has been studied recently by Dr. D. L. Allen of the Michigan De- partment of Conservation. Much of his findings are of interest to people In Ontario, for this province Is very like the State of Michigan as far as climate and soils are concerned. In this article I. am going to quote free- ly from Dr. Allen's findings. We do know that life all over the earth exists in roughly the tame pattern, although the spe- ales differ from one area to an- other. First we have the plants that turn the minerals of the earth into living matter. These plants aro used as food by huge numbers of small animals (and fewer large ones) in whose bod- ies the plant material is turned into animal tissue, These her- bivores do not multiply indef- initely and destroy their food supply because their numbers are held in check, at least in part, by other species adapted to liv- ing upon flesh. In every part of the world these main types of aiib als have "grown up" to- gether and have developed mu- tual checks and balances to pre- vent any one species from get- ting out of hand. They Do Good, Harm Wo know perfectly well that some hawks and owls kill rab- bit& pheasants, grouse and other game animals. In Michigan we have been vividly impressed with the fact that the greatest mor- tality among these game species, from upredators," occurs when they are young, and when they are about equal size to the small animals upon which the carniv- ores habitually prey during most of the year. We also know that there is difference in the food habits of the various species of carnivores. The hawks differ widely in this respect. In gen- eral the larger, slow -flying, soar- ing species feed primarily upon meadow mice and other small rodents. However, in the spring they may bring young birds to the nest to feed their young and no one need be surprised to see them pick up a rabbit occasion- ally. The proposition boils down to this: If we are going to pro-. fit by the immeasurable good done by these animals in protect- ing the farmer's crops, we are going to have to put up with some of the things we may not like. There is a limit to how much we can regiment nature, Jack Miner: "A National Benefactor" Kingsville Naturalist le Ac- claimed by Head of Canadian Travel Bureau Jack Miner, famed Kingsville naturalist, was last week elected president of the Essex County Tour- ist Association at its annual meet- ing in Windsor. BEAUTIFICATION URGED "Let us see how much we can put into Essex County by beautify- ing eautifyIng it and forget for the time being what wo can get out of it," Mr. Miner urged in accepting office. IIe asked for continued b' utilisation of highways and farm properties especially those bordorli►g heavily travelled highways. . "PERFORM GREATEST WORK" The 76 -year-old conservationist was publicly acclaimed as a na- tional benefactor by D. Leo Dolan, director of the Canadian Travel Bureau, principal speaker, "I have known tor many years the value of the work you have been doing," Mr. Dolan said. "No -Man is better known and none more highly regarded than Jack .Miner. I desire to pay you public tribute tonight for the .work which you have done to make Canada known . throughout the whole ot North .America. You wore at work on this business ot tourist promo- tion long bcforo I was thought of and 1 consider your work in con?, servation to be among the great- est performed ;ny-whe:e on the globe." • i Grow Carrots!

"The United States is in the war, or at least nearly In It, and 1e preparing for it." --U. 8. Secretary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones, Non-political military experts in Washington expressed last week their cool opinion that actual in- vasion o1 Great Britain now seem- ed unlikely --chances 50-60 against it. Instead, they believed, the Ger- mane would increase their opera- tions in the Mediterranean, inten- sify the 'war on British shipping, concentrating on the objective of "knocking out Britain" without re- sorting to invasion, before U. S. lend-lease aid could become effec- tive. Everything At Once London military men, not quite of the same mind, wore consider - lag the possibility of an attempted Invasion of Britain synchronized with thrusts in the Balkans, at Sues and at Gibraltar and a Jap- anese move on Singapore. They ex- pected that the Balkan and Gib- raltar campaigns might be tried before mid-March. Squeeze Play on Greece Whether the British experts were right or wrong, events would short- ly bear out, it was telt last week. Hitler's drive through the Balk- ans toward Suez was gaining ma- mentum—his domination of the en- tire peninsula down as far as Greece and Turkey, by "peaceful penetratiqn," appeared to have be- come complete with the signing of athe Turk -Bulgarian non -aggression pact, and the journey to Berlin of Yugoslavia's head men. IIts next immediate aim was to smash Greece, hoping thereby to consoli- date the German military position, end rescue the badly -pummeled Fascists, before the next phase of the Battle of the Mediterranean op- ened. Hitler's "Or Else ..." In its pressure for a "quick peace" last week between Greece and Italy, Germany was said to have given the Greeks two alter- natives: 1. Submit to a quick peace with Italy; 2. Submit to a German military occupation of Greece bet - fore Britain could rush reinforce - menta therefrom the North Afri- can front, Should the Nazis not succeed in forcing the peace, by cracking Greek morale—they would be faced with the prospect of mak- ing a two -front war (Greece might well become a battleground for the Gorman and British armed forces) or backing down with serious lose of prestige in the Balkans. Creeping Up On Gibraltar Preparations for Hitler's advance upon the British western Mediter- ranean stronghold, Gibraltar, were much less in evidence last week, although every sort of behind - scenes work was doubtless being done, Before he could thrust in this direction, Hitler would have to secure Potain's permission to allow passage of troops across France, Franco's cons en t for passage through Spain. It would be really something, however, ' if he could gain possession of the French fleet, based at Toulon, Conflict "At Any Moment" The Far Eastern situation wors- ened appreciably last week. The organ of the Soviet navy, Red Fleet declared the state of affairs in the Pacific was growing more tense day by day and that a conflict might be precipitated "at any moment," The'paper reported that Japan was moving to the south, massing heavy naval concentrations around Saig- on (French Indo-China), within easy striking distance of Singapore and the Netherlands East Indies. "The Anglo-American bloc," it con- tinued, "Is equally active, with the British busily placing Singapore on a war tooting while the British, American and Australians are re- ported working out concrete de- fence measures for the South Pac- ific " Japan A Stooge? Hitler might be using Japan to create a diversion in the Far East of sufficient magnitude to pre- occupy the United States, But more plausible was the explanation that Japan was seizing what appeared to be' a golden opportunity to achieve her own purpose--dornin• ation of Eastern Asia. Tho Far Eastern picture In more detail: Britain mined the Strait of Singapore to block the main sea routes to Japan, Thailand, China. and Indo-China , . , tho United States renewed its request to Am• ericaus in China, French Iudo- Chlna and Japan to go home .. . the Chinese reported Japan had stationed six divisions in Canton, Hainan Island, French Indo-China and Spratly Islands, four divisions WINSTON CHURCHILL -V in ' Formosa . . . the Australian Government issued extraordinary warnings of new, grave war stage „ , Japanese charged. that the landing of Australian troops at Singapore' was a ,belligerent aet . Mustn't Touch Singapore Authoritative informants in the United States said .last week that Japan was just testing how far she could go, nibble by nibble, They be - Roved that Japan did not want war with the United States, but' that in the event of her attacking Sing- apore, the American fleet would be sure to go into action, and she would get it, anyway, If the United States were to en- ter the war, it might very well be via the Pacific. • "To Lease -Lend" Convoys? Final enactment of the "British Aid" bill, now going through the Senate, was expected the first of' the month, As soon as the measure was approved, President Roosevelt was likely to make an immediate request for $1,000,000,000 in approp- 'rlatious and contract authority to build planes, ships, tanks, guns and munitions, much of it to be "leased -lent" to Great Britain for use in Europe, Africa .and the Far Mast. If the purposes of the "Lease - Lend' bill were to be achieved, ma- terial readily available would have to be put at Britain's disposal im- mediately, The United States, then, was certain Dither to "lease -lend" convoy aid to the British in the North Atlantic or directly engage in convoy protection, Half National Income • It was a "shocked and dramatic" silence which greeted the close of Finance Minister's- Ilsley's speech in . the House of Commons last week on Canada's war costs. Never before had any Canadian legis- lative body been asked to approve expenditure of such a sum—$2,700,- 000,000 um—$2,700;OD0,000 for the coming fiscal year— almost two-thirds ot which would go towards paying for the war. This colossal outlay,. Mr. Ilsley in- timated, represented devoting halt our national income to war and oth• or governmental work ($225 for every man, woman and child in the Dominion). "To carry out the war program," he said; "will require for many of, us drastic changes in our mode of living and habits of life," Critics 'of the war effort con- tinued to feel that expenditures for governmental purposes could be much more substantially cut. Coincidentally with the opening of the sixth session of the .20th Legislature at Toronto, came the forecast that • Ontario's expendi- • turas for .the coming fiscal year would bo increased by more than $1,000,00'0,000, due in great part to the discontinuance by the Domin- ion Government of direct relief con- tributions to the provinces, (Muni- cipalities' relief costs share for 1941-42 was expected to be advanc- ed from 20 to 33 per cent of the total 33.65 with the provincial government). , Canadian National Railways Revenues The gross revenues of the all- inclusive Canadian' National Rail- ways Systenf for the week end- ing February 14, 1941, were $4,884,521 as compared with 4,335,727 for the correspond- ing period of 1940, an increase of 528,794 or 12,1% Precaution Lack Causes $lindness Addressing a recent luncheon meeting of the Stratford Rotary Club Col.

They try to make ends meet by running a boardinghouse, and they open their doors .=-- and their hearts' --- to the strangest collection of "paying guests" ever gathered under one roof; You meet a Bossarabian fortunteller, an Englishwoman who has taken to the bottle, a social climber, a titled lady whose love affair is the talk and wonder of English-speaking China, three Russian nuns, an America doughboy and a collec- tion of hissing and bowing Jap- anese, As the Family widens its cir- cle ,-sharing new experiences rich in humor and feeling, each mem- ber of the group grows stronger emotionally, and in spirit until, when war and separation cloud their lives, they have found a faith that sustains them when they need it most, "The Family" . . , by Nina Fedorova . . .

Early Ontario Story Recalled Episode of Huronia Reviewed By Author of "The Cham- plain Road" Ontario has a share in the his- tory of French Canada through the attempt of Champlain to form a protectorate in the land of the Hurons (the Georgian Bay dia. trict) Franklin Davey McDowell author of `Tho Champlain Road" pointed out in an. address last week to the Montreal 'Women's Club. The building of Fort Ste. Marie, near where Midland is now, two years before Ville Marie was founded, was a stroke of statecraft of the part of Cham- plain that approached genius, Mr'. McDowell declared, Built some 700 miles inland, the fort was intended as a base from which the Hurons could invade the Iroquois country while the LIFE'S LIKE THAT \\\ ENERGY For VIGbRbUS OUT Delicious on Cereals, Porridge, on Bread, • in Milk, etc. 45R French and Algonquins approach- ed from another direction, catch- ing the Iroquois in a pincer move - went. If the scheme had suc- ceeded it would have led to a French empire from Acadia to. the head of the Great Lakes, the speaker maintained. IN LETTERS FROM PRIESTS Mr. MCDOwell, telling of his re- search 'preceding the writing of "The Champlain Road", said that he had read for his material the Jesuit Relations not as church doctrine but as human documents and a Pepys-like re- cord of the adventure 'into Huron-. la. Vivid descriptions were also given in letters from priests on the trail to Huronia. During the years sheat among the Indians in Huronia, Mr. Mc- Dowell noted, the Jesuit fathers had instituted certain reforms in the primitive life of the people.' They. began the first social ser- vice work on the continent, and attempted to teach a measure of hygiene and sanitation, Huronia had .the first "state medicine', with the service of a surgeon and and free suplies from lite phar- macy as far as they existed, The first experimental farm was at Fort Ste. Marie, to which the priests brought . domestic ani- mals, carrying them over nu- merous portages. Ono ton of cider apples chop- ped up and squeezed will 'yield .140 gallons of juice.

He tries to send her home, then confesses he- loves her. She loves him, too. He tells her all he knows of the 'narcotic rings, of his suspicions that Bentley is the hejd'of the gang. The plane comes again. Larry rushes off, for. getting his carbine. cIIAPTER XI Larry noticed the carbine was missing when he stopped at the canyon gate. It was too late to turn . back for it now. The plane was al- most overhead. In -a few seconds the lights of 'Bentley's landing field would blaze against the sky, Larry knew he'd have to take his chances, Tho • black was racing up the canyon at dead run.

That'll give me a chalice to take a look at tliat ship," Larry told the black as he dismounted. He uncoiled his lariat, tied the renis to the loop and fastened the other end to a mesquite bush, Better to have the horse tied in one s -pot than'to let him go grazing around, He ran on . toward the hangar. Each time the airline beacon swung around he dropped flat, No use letting some sharp-eyed look- out catch sight of him, if Bentley had a lookout. 1t took slim 15 minutes to get within 100 yards of the building. Bentley, the pilot and the others were still inside. The automobile was parked beside the hangar doors, Larry crawled along until he . could reach out and touch one of the lights, marking the boundaries of the field. Bentley and the pilot came from a door—be the side of the hangar nearest Larry—got into the car, Two other men followed, jumped on the running boards.' Larry waited, holding his ,breath, while the car sped up' the drive toward Bentley's !house. - .. When the car had gone, Larry relaxed. Lucky • Bentley had built iris )hangar half a mile from his 'corrals and his house.

He decided to rlsk it. d 'h, N IIe crossed the intervening space ie. -the side of the hangar at a run, paused panting at the door. Then he edged -It open. There was a light near the mo- tor of the plane, Larry could see tlt,e mecihanic's shoulders hunched - over the motor, his feet on the step -ladder beside the plane. The rest of the hangar was in semi- darkness. ,- In Bentley's Lair Bentley's own ship was nearer. A high -winged, speedy cabin ship, If he could cross to the plane, the, could slip 'inside Bentley's own ship, overhear everything that was said. It would be the last place they'd think of looking for him. The mechanic climbed clown from the ladder, Larry froze against the wall. But the man turned, walk- ed to a bench at the far side of the hangar, In that moment Larry slipped through the door, closed it sMtly, and crossed to the cabin plane. Before .the mechanic turned around he was crouched in the luggage space behind the pilot's seat, The - ,r. i� MN. t COFFEE NERVES 1 I\ rrr., •;'Jean used to:have lots of dates. t ;Put the caffeine -in her mealtime coffee`and tea • brought ore into the Picture -anal brought along my nervbusness.and`steeplessness;'!:hat did plenty to'her disposition -and soon drove off the boy friends.

"Ship'a okay now, Mike," the mechanic called, "011 line was clog- ged." "Good," came Bentley's voice. Then to the pilot: "You tell the 'Little Man' to send the next stuff as scheduled, We're all right hero and the east will take all wo can handle.

"I looked, Figured he might bo up here="' "Get the rest of the men and circle the field;" Bentley snapped his orders. "Here, Bill, come along with me, Bring those guns from the cal'. We'll search the hangar'." "I'll Come Out" Larry pulled back Into the dark - nese of the cabin as the hangar doors closed and the room filled with light. Bentley was searohing the lockers, slamming doors, curs- ing. "Turn on the field lights, all the lights!" Bentley yelled, "Get out- side, Bial, see it you.ean find any- thing, I'll wait here, We've got to get that fellow. He knows too much," Bill shuttered something,, slam- med the door as he trent out. Larry held his breath, praying. that Bentley wouldn't think of his plane. There were. few hiding places in the baro hangar, and that meant fewer places for Bentley to search. Larry heard Bentley running up the iron steps to the tower atop the building. He thought of risking a dash out of the hangar, decided against it. They'd sheet him down like a rabbit, His chance was gone in that second. Bill • returned shouting, "Mike—Mike-look what I found!" Bentley came crashing down the steps. "Field glasses! Where did you get those, Bill?" "Just outside the lights, Almost stepped on them." "lie's either in here, or he's got clear away," Bentley said. There was a pause. Larry could almost feel Bentley's eyes on the cabin plane, Then— "Bill get that tommy-gun from the locker. Put a row of holes along the side of the cabin there— just behind the seat," He raised his voice, "Hey, you, inside the plane. Do you want to come out now, or shall we drag yolk out?" "I'll come out!" Larry answered. (To Be Continued) Must Plan For Tomorrow Mrs. Pierre Casgraln Urges Canadian Women To Prepare For Post -War Conditions Mme. Pierre F. Casgrain, • wife of the Secretary of State, said in a recent address at Kingston, Ont., that Social Service Work is important in wartime • in main- taining civilian morale and pre- paring for post-war conditions. She was addressing a meeting of the Kingston and District Council oft Social Agencies, "I wonder if, sometimes, the .generation that is ours has not failed," she said, "for the last war went on with scant prepara- tion for it after effects." FOLLOW ENGLISHWOMAN'S EXAMPLE In the current struggle civili- ans were bearing the brunt of the conflict and "it is the morale of these people we will have to re- build and uphold, as well as mak- ing preparations to rehabilitate the, soldiers as they come back. Mme. Casgrain said there was the awakening of a social con- sciousness in Canada although many younger women ,had not shown any particular interest, "The women of England are planning • for tomorrow," she said, "and I think we should pay them the tribute of following their example."

L E By SADIE B. CHAMBERS Lenten Dishes • As the Lenten season is ap- proaching it, seems appropriate that this week we should say some- thing about fish. Then too the use of fish is helping the con- sumption of Canadian foods, Fish is food which is very high in vita- min content, especially A and D. Vitarnit= A, as you will remember, promotes growth and enables the body to resist disease, Vitamin D helps the body assimilate cal- cium and phosphorus, aids in building good bones and. teeth. Fish are rich in iodine, which is always a preventative of goitre. Shell fish usually contain copper, which is bery beneficial to the anaemic. When we consider all the good points to be gained from eating fish we really should make it an all year food, Finnan Haddie Erobably the easiest prepared fish is Finnan Haddie, which al- ways has an appetizing appeal. This type of fish should first be covered with water and simmer- ed for it few moments. Drain off water --- then add 11 cups milk and 11 tablespoons of cornstarch.

"And when b drew nigh, he saw the city an wept over it, 42. Saying, If thot badst known In this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes, 43. For the days shall come upon thee, when thine en - elutes shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee In on every side, 44. and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knew est not the time of thy visitation." This detailed prophecy of our Lord was literally fulfilled ' forty years atterwards, In 70 A.D., at the siege et Jerusalem under Titus, Why did our Lord weep? Perhaps because he knew thnt of this giddy thought- less multitude, many who now cried .Hosanna would, ere a little 'week was ended be joining in the cry "Crucify Him!" hie knew, and this Was a sadder thought still, that there was no part of this dreadful doom but might have been averted, if Jerusalem had chosen truly to listen to God's servants, Cleansing of the Temple 45. "And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, 46. saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers." Pilgrims came to Jerusalem from all parts of the world to keep the Passover, and at Passover times the city was crowded to excess. The money spent in the city dur- ing these feast occasions formed a great part of the livelihood of the native Jews. The mob of citizens were persuaded that Jesus meant to take the bread out of their mouths, and their Hosannas were changed to cries of ''Crucify Him!" (For the convenience of visitors, one of the courts of the Temple was set apart for a market, where they eouid buy what animals they needed for sacrifice.) Daily Teaching 47, ".And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal metrof the people sought to destroy him; 4$, and they Could not find what they plight do; for the people all hung upon hlm, listening." From Sunday on, Jesus Christ was teacb- t'w in the Temnlo till Ile left it kr kaon, 'Tuesday thward evening Ins informs us that the Sanhedrin was seeking to destroy Him; but with alt their seeking and schem- ing, they were not able to find what they might do. The difficulty lay in "the people," the love of the pilgrims for Jesus, His Authority Questioned Luke 20: 1, "And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came- upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders. 2. And they epake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what author. It, doeet thou these things? or who is he that gave thee thle au• therlty?" The reel Jewish authorities were the Pharisees and the Sadducees, primarily the Sanhedrhl. They had not given Him any order to cleanse the Temple—if not they, then • who? Furthermore, His teaching was diametrically opposed to the teaching of tho Jewish authorities of Hie day. They emphasized obed- ience to legalistic formulas: Jesus - WAS continually pointing to and Insisting upon repentance, purity et heart, honesty, believing In Him, praying to the Father In sincerity, living a holy life before men, none of which things the Jewish auth- 8T 1— me, nge NG ch. ble Ing tri. pril pie nd is ss• ch. ely ist a of .0 m, - te us 0 to e 6• s e it 0 e• e d fret.View-,Cif ' Modern ' U3.

J. McCabefo Toronto, presi- dent of the Canadian Thorough- bred Horse Society, said in his report at the annual meeting of the society that Canada is "un- fortunately lacking in good brood mares," "Those interested in racing and breeding know too well how vi- tally racing is dependent upon good blood -stock. We must con- sider every means possible to en- courage the bloodstock industry." He said British bloodstock breeders had been asked in the past year to send their prime bloodstock to Canada and United States to prevent possible injury during wartime, and that small shipments had been made to the United States, He said "shipping facilities, climatie conditions and various other reasons" were given by British breeders in de- ' dining to send their stock here.

Teacher Shortage Signs Increasing Survey Shows National Crlele in Canadian Education Likely Next Year The shortage of teachers, signs of which are evident to educa- tional administrators will be on a national basis, according to in- formation obtained last week in the department of education at McGill University. . Department members have been in touch with educationists who have conducted a survey. This survey indicates that the shortage of instructors will make itself increasingly evident during the present calendar year and may become critical to the main- tenance of educational standards in the next school session. Teachers stated last week that they were leaving the profession for two reasons, One is the ,call to national service, which is tak- . ing an increasing proportion ' of the male teachers, and the other main reason, is low salaries. A statistical study has been made by the Canadian Teachers' Federation to show that teachers are not only the lowest paid pro- fessional group but In many cases are receiving a great deal 'less ,than other largo classifications of trained and semi -skilled workers. This condition must be remedied,' teachers claim; if education is to maintain.. itself proportionately to other community .and national enterprises, Ancient Chinese Raised Rhubarb As Lona Ago As 2,700 B.C.

The most famous is the "Countess of Dufferin", first loco- motive to reach Winnipeg. It was taken there cn a barge in 1877 and now stands in a Winnipeg park as a moument to the early days. It was built in 1872, weighed 64,500 pounds and was 61 feet six inches long. Locomotive No. 34, seen above at Fernre,. B,C,, dates back to 1882. Its weight was 98,000 pounds and it• had a tractive effort of 14,000 pounds, • These, are puny engines compared to the giants of today, the new 2800 series which weigh 366,000 pouds and have a tractive effort of 46,200 pounds and the new 5900 series, largest in the British Empire, which weigh 447,000 pounds and have a tractive effort of 78,000 pounds.

In pregnancy and lactation the teeth often become tender and affected with caries. The cause is the drain on calcium -by the growing infant within the mo- ther's womb, The remedy is the administration of vitamin D, found plentifully in butter fat and cod-liver oil, A certain number of teeth that • have ached _a little, settle dot\;n, take on a bluish colour and may be somewhat tender, These teeth ' are dead and are a menace to health, Their roots will often prove to be stinking. They spread infection to near ' and distant parts of the body causing ery- themn, arthritis and other infec- tions. Must Extract Dead Teeth Cancer of the antrum or sar- coma of the bony margin of the jaw sometimes follows neglect of dead teeth, Other resulting infections from dead teeth are: osteomyelitis and necrosis of the jaws, cellulitis of the neck and neuralgia of the third nerve. Many medical condi- tions of the body will cause ten- derness of the teeth, such for ex- ample, as scurvy, anaemia and lukaemia, Syphilis, malaria, dia- hetes and tuberculosis have an ill - effect on the teeth, Hysteria, mi- graine and many other neuroses aro often accentuated by tender teeth, Many acute illnesses and the recovery therefrom, are ac - HARNESS & COLLARS Farmers Attention — Consult your nearest Herness Shop about Staco Harness Supplies.

SNOW DRIFTS ONLY SIGN LEFT OF STORM Were it not for the continuous banks of snow fringing both sides of the Highways, it woad !:e hard to be Iievo that just a week ago, this di;1• trlct was in the worst blizzard of the winter. The .storm which started a week ago .Monday, continued until Friday when it finally blew itself out. For a time No. 4 111.1,hway from \Vingham to Clinton, was blocked but by Friday night a tunnel had been punched through by the caterpillar snow plow. It took the caterpilla• from >: r:.day morning until after sup- per in the evening, to clear the way from Clinton to Blyth. From Myth north to \\'Ingham the lighter plows had been doing some work, and the i€Ding was not so hard. On Friday afternoon and Saturday. workmen and teams in the village were busy clearing the main Istreet ,'o., it's banks, and by Saturday niglit' tfie' streets were back to their nori'nal con- dition. Sunday was a teautifulday, and the highway was good fcr travelling, apart from being rough. The' conce' siotl5 are impassible for cars and will probably remain that way until the spring break-up.
