With five minutes to go to the end of the period the play speeded up but there was no more scoring. Dishop was sent to the cooler for hooking Hepburn before two minutes of the second period had passed. The Indians pressed hard but were held off. Gafd got his second penalty a little over the half-way mark, then Lamson scored from Bloomfields Crocks banks got a bang on the face but continued after a short rest, The second period was nearly over when great excitement took place. Schwan put one by Clark and a minute later Fromenger boarded Hepburn and a fight developed in which players and .spectators took? part. Hepburn was badly injured as noted before. Ken Wilson, the referee, penalized Bishop in place of Fromenger and Fairser- yice sat out Hepburn’s time. Both got 5 minutes. The third period opened up with Bishop and Fairservice in the penalty box. Flay was very, fast but nothing happened before the teams were back to full strength. About half way through this period Sargent took Mc- Meekin’s pass and pushed the puck into the open net as Clark was out of position on a previous shot. English gladdened , the hearts of the Wing- hamites by scoring a pretty goal half way through the period and • Elliott came through five minutes later with another which ended the scoring, The game was a strenuous one and it appeared to us that Wilson did not do a high class job of refereeing. It is a wonder there was • not more trouble.

As their presence has a direct effect Upon the vigor and general condition of the flock,, egg production is often serious ly affected. Birds suffering from a heavy infestation of lice or mites be come run down in condition and may die as a direct result of, the infesta- ‘ lion ot fall easy prey to disease. Th*ere are several species of hen lice but all of them live, feed, and breed on the birds and spend their entire life there, states W, W. Gran, Assistant in Live Stock and Poultry, Poultry! Division, Centari Experimental Farm,- Ottawa. Although hens or chickens may be seen dusting it is impossible for them to entirely rid themselves of the lice, There are numerous powders, oint ments and dips which will kill lice but all of these entail individual handling of birds which requires considerable time and labour, especially in large flocks. During recent years nicotine sulph ate (sold under various trade names) has come into general use and has proved to be the quickest, easiest and. most satisfactory remedy for the con trol of poultry lice. This method el- iminatds the necessity of handling the birds or givihg individual treatment but is very effective and. can be used during any season .of the year, th the evening just before the flock goes to roost nicotine sulphate is Spread thinly over the upper surface of the perches. Care should, then be taken to see that all birds go on the roosts and to provide reasonable ven- tliatlon from the front of the poultry house, without strong draughts, Heat from the birds causes a release of fumes from the nicotine sulphate which penetrate the feathers and kill We lice. This troatfpeut Is repeated , < fi'/ A in about ten days to kill lice which have hatched after the first treatment. Other treatments may be given as ne cessary. The red mite, which is actually grey in colour becoming filled with blood/ is a tiny blood sucking insect commonly found in poultry houses. Unlike lice, it lives in cracks and crev ices, nests, straw, etc., and cannot be killed by ordinary treatments which are effective for lice. Mites usually attack the birds at night and after gorging with blood, retire to their hid ing places. They breed'very rapidly during warm weather. A heavy infes tation will soon cause the flock, to be come thin and unthrifty, resulting in greatly reduced production in laying birds. ‘ As mites thrive best in dark, dirty houses, the first step in their control is to remedy these conditions. The birds should first be removed to oth er quarters. All droppings, little, nest ing material, etc., should then be re moved, floors, perches, dropping boards and nests scraped perfectly clean and all cleanings removed and burnt. The interior of the house in cluding all fixtures should be thor oughly sprayed or scrubbed with a strong disinfectant solution, making certain that the solution enters every crack. This treatment should be re peated in a few days to destroy mites which hatch after the first application. After the house, has been cleaned it is advisable to periodically flood cracks in the roosts, roost supports and nest boxes during warm weather with coal oil; a mixture of coal oil and crankcase Oil; or coal oil and ni cotine sulphate, to keep the mites in check.

Heating Hints A LTHOUGH banking the fire is -CL a very simple operation,’ many people have trouble with it. Let me explain the method that I have foufid the most satisfactory. . First (and only if it is neces sary to make room for fresh coal), gently shake the fire until you see the first red glow in the ashpit. Then with a shovel or hoe pull the live coals toward the front of the furnace, so that the fire bed slopes downward towards the back. Shovel the fresh coal carefully into the hollow thus formed, j. And, as in refueling, be sure to leave an ex posed spot of live coals right in front of the fire door, This "hot In aih4«arinut spot” will act aS a pilot light to ignite the gases given off by the fresh coal, preventing them from escaping into the house. ■When banking the fire for the night, the Ashpit Damper should be closed and the Check; Damper open, The Turn Damper should be left as nearly closed as possible, Ahd remember, it should never be necessary to leave the fire deor open when the fire is banked, If you fellow this procedure, your fire will stay in for the might and will deliver ample heat when you open the drafts in the morning. ! 4) the Finance Committee were ordered paid on motion of Conns. Wilkinson and Evans. Vital Statistics The Clerk reported 91 Births, 30 Marriages and 48 death for 1939, Couns.

For the Welfare Committee Coun. Lloyd stated that there was no relief of any account at the present time. Do Not Feed Transients The matter of handling the trans ient problem was brought up by May or Crawford. The Clerk reported that 82 meals had been supplied transients last month! Council decided tp request that the public do not give meals to transients and ask tl;at they be sent to the Town Hall where they will be taken care of so that a proper record may be kept. On motion of Reeve Hetherington and Coun. Johnson a by-law was pass ed authorizing the borrowing of mon ey to carry on the town’s business un till taxes are collected.

' It is indicated that the forthcoming war loan will have bonds as low as $50 in denomination, and it is the hope of the Minister of Finance, Hon. J. L. Ralston, K.C., that every Canadian will become a creditor to the Canad ian Government through vhis or her ownership of a Government bond.

Complete Division Now in England CANADA’S FIRST WAR LOAN Ottawa’s announcement that pre parations are under way for Canada’s- first war loan, now scheduled to make its appearance during the first quart er of 1940, is good news inasmuch’ as it will provide tile rank and file of. Canadians with an opportunity to make their first direct contribution to Canada’s war effort. The backbone of Canada’s participation in this war will be financial because of the vast amount of foodstuffs,- materials and military supplies that will be requir ed from this country, True, much of these materials will be paid for by the Allies, but .some of the British pur chases in this country will have to be financed by Canada, and Canada’s own program will be extensive. It seems probable that at least 40% of the national income will be required in the next year to meet the cost of war and the other expenditures of all governments ih Canada and to finance British purchases here. Canada has come a long way since the last war in developing a fiscal sys tem of equality in citizenship and its attendant responsibilities. As an nounced in the first war budget, this war, in as far as Canada is concern ed, will be financed as far as practic able on a "pay as you go” basis, and paid for by all on the general basis of ability to pay. It would be impos sible to tax for the entire cost of swinging the program into action without tending to hamper initiative, lessen efficiency and retard the expan sion of production and national in come. Tax revenues, therefore, must he supplemented through borrowing by means of domestic bond flotations. It may, too, be taken for granted, that there will he no "tax free” bonds in this war, that wilt gravitate to a few holders and enable them to min-, imizc their income taxes. Nor will there be any duplication of the ab normal profits from war materials witnessed during the last war, The safeguard against this is the Excess’ Prof its Tax, enacted at the special ’ Conditions in Canada offer propit ious circumstances for the loan when it conies. War orders and the large Western wheat crop are beginning to have their effect in expanding busi ness activity. Employment is increas ing, and the physical volume of busi ness, as measured by- the Dominion Bureau of Statistics indices, is ap proaching an all-time peak. With the increased activity generally in the business world and promise of its continuance, the first war loan can be expected to meet a ready reception. Operations Every Day Keep Hospital Surgeons Busy ! During a visit to Toronto recently, your reporter called at the Hospital for Sick .Children on College Street. I bad seen this Hospital mentioned in news reports many, many times, particularly during the great Polio epidemic of 1937. It was high time, I thought, to do a little private in vestigation and find out why this Hospital should be so much in the news. WHAT HAPPENS EVERY • TWENTY-FOUR HOURS I Interviewed Mr. Joseph Bower, the Superintendent of this busy In stitution. Hfe told me that during the tWenty-four hour period pre ceding my visit, nineteen Operations had been performed . fifty-two X-ray photographs .taken , . . two hundred and eighty individual pre scriptions filled in a completely- equipped dispensary . . . twenty eight bed’ ’patients were admitted . » , thirty-three children discharged as cured . . * more than fourteen hundred meals served ,. * ten chil dren had extensive dental work done . , , 95% of the beds were oc cupied, leaving only 19 beds free for emergency cases, 'And, according to the Superinten dent, the twenty-four hour period was an average one, insofar as typi cal hospital activity wets concerned. VISIT TO PUBLIC WARDS After this chat’on Hospital acti vity, I was kindly shown through the Institution. We VigRed the Public Wards, the kitchens, swim ming pool (necessary in the treat ment of Polio, and other cases), the orthopaedic workshop, file dispen sary and operating rooms. it struck me as being a completely-equipped hospital with much special equip ment, Every Ward we visited, Mr, Bower would says “This is a Public Ward.” I was quite surprised to learn that 95% of the patients treated here are in Public wards. The. Hospital is taxed to capacity with little children whose parents ate unable to pay even the low Public Wan) rates. The case history of one little chap i had chatted with, while walking through the Ward, was very inter esting. and quite typical, “He was brought here one cold Winter day in 1937, His parents bad driven more than a hundred miles in the old farm truck io* their little child might have hospital treatment “After examining the little fellow, our doctors told the parents that he needed attention immediately t , •Ir--------------------.-------------------------.— that a complete cure would take many months. “Upon hearing that bad news, the father and mother were all for bundling the little chap up and leaving for home. They could never begin to pay for that much .treat ment, they said, ‘We had hoped it might be just a week or so’. ’ “It took quite a while,” con tinued the Superintendent, “but we finally convinced the parents that just because they couldn’t afford to pay. for the boy’s care was no rea- . son to deprive him of the only chance he had to get well. We ask ed them to leave their son with us and let us worry about the cost of the treatment. “The boy is going home next > week after almost two years of con tinuous hospital care, many opera- . tions, several X-Rays, special diets, orthopaedic equipment, etc. He’s feeling pretty fit now and his par- 1 ents- have been able to pay but a 1 little toward this wonderful treat ment. When a sick child needs hos pital care, he gets it regardless of race, creed or financial circtim- l stance.” operating costs'of” the”hospital, This led to a discussion on the operating costs of the hospital. I Was given information which is in teresting and Well worth passing on. In round figures, the operating expanses of the Hospital for the past year amounted to more than $543,000. The Operating revenue—from Rri- vate, SGmLprivate patients and the comparatively few Public Ward patients who are able to pay, grants from Toronto, other Municipalities and the Provincial Government— to just e tittle more than $394(°00 This moans that, the Hos pital, although run on the most ef ficient and economical basis, suffer ed an operating loss of over $149,000, Part of this deficit is met by the in come from investments made with moneys bequeathed or endowed over a siXty-yoar perfod. Th?re is SHU a deficit of $90,000, - And that is why this Hospital con ducts an annual appeal at this time to secure enough funds to offset this operating loss. Who reads this item could visit the Hospital for Siek Children and see, as 1 did, what is done here for Ontario’s little ones. t5ey would de as f did.
