sheep raised in one district in which
sheep are regarded as the “best pay
ing class of livestock A similar state
ment might be made by groups of far
mers in many sections or districts of
the. Dominion,
Unless something is done to lessen
the danger from dogs it is certain,
less sheep will be raised. Such a con
dition might not be regarded as seri
ous in normal peace time but with a
war on, when wool is one of <the most
important agricultural commodities
used exclusively for soldier’s clothing,
it is wery dangerous, Then there are
possibilities of lamb being required
much more extensively in Canada to
replace either bacon or beef,
Sheep raisers'1 throughout Canada
are urging that legislation to deal
with the menace be considered as a
War time necessity by the Provincial
Legislatures, so that more sheep and
wool may be produced.

DOGS AT LARGE
MENACE TO SHEEP
Many sheep breeders in Canada are
of the opinion that it is practically
impossible to raise sheep profitably
on account of the large number of
dogs which are allowed to run at
large. This they consider is serious
in a country that uses more wool per
capita than’any other country and
which in war time finds itself under
the necessity of importing large quan
tities of wool for war contracts and
for general use.
One farmer in Ontario reports los
ing 16 head bf sheep killed by dogs in
one night, another 11 head and others
smaller numbers. As a result of the
menace from dogs there has been a
reduction of 75% in the number of
Canada’s Flying Nurses
Only registered nurses are accept
ed as stewardesses on the Traiis-Can-
ada Air Lines. This does not mean the
T.C.A. considers flying hazardous,
Robert Ayre explains in an interesting
article in “The Canadian Nurse”. It
is simply a recognition of the fact
that, in spite of widening experience
there are still travellers who think it
is.
“One reason the stewardess is a
nurse," says this official of the T.C.A.
“is because nurses inspire confidence.
Practical and poised women, cheerful
and tactful, they are experienced in
the art of helping people to forget
their nervousness and of making them
feel at ease.
“The T.C.A. Stewardess must be a
girl of good education and she must
have a pleasing and courteous man
ner. These things naturally follow
when she is a nurse. It follows, too,
that she will be in excellent physical
condition. The T.C.A. is strict about
this and the stewardesses report.for
W, A. Galbraith,
Treasurer,
Town of Winghanif
medical examination .every three
months. The regulations say that a
girl must not wear glasses and they
add definite specifications regarding
her height and weight. She may weigh
as little as ninety-five but no more-
than 125 pounds. She must not be-
below five feet tall nor. above five feet
five inches. She must not be under
21 nor over 26 years of age. Married"
women are not acceptable as T.C.A.
Stewardesses even if their husbands
are dead or divorced. Only Canadians
are engaged.”
Incidentally, the word “hostess” is
never used on the Trans-Canada Air
Lines, “Stewardess” seeming more
apt in identifying the functions of the
young lady whose task is to serve the
public.

“IT PAYS
to BUY
the BEST
U THEY sure live up to the ‘extra profit’. So far I have only lost
one chick. Other years I have bought chicks at a lower price .
than I paid for the ones I received from you, and lost a good
percentage of them. I can see that it pays to buy the best.”
That’s what Henry Pope, Weston, Ont., Wrote us about his
1939 flock of Bray “Xtra-Profit” Chicks. It’s good advice for 1940,
too—“Buy the Best”. The important fact when you buy chicks is
not what the chicks cost you at one-day-old, but what your pullets
cost you when they go into the laying house, what your cockerels
cost you to grow to the right weight and finish—AND what returns
they are equipped to give you. The livability, growth, early matur
ity and staying power Of yoUr chicks nave a mighty big influence
On both costs and returns* “It Pays to Buy the Best”*—and the
steady application of high standards in breeding, selection, feeding
and blood-testing, year after* year, have given Bray chicks a real
claim to that title. Ask any otf your neighbours who ever raised

members present, Reeve Redmond
presiding. After the members had sub
scribed to the declaration of office,
Rev. Mr. Townend, at the invitation
of the Reeve, asked that Divine guid
ance be given the Council in all mat
ters of deliberation that would come
before them during the year entered
upon, and Rev, Townend expressed
his pleasure on being present at this

than passing interest he had a,t all
times taken in the municipal affairs of
East Wawanosh.
After thanking Mr. Townend for
being present and assisting in the op

“BELIEVE IT OR NOT—I’ve spent a quarter of my life in The Hospital for Sick
Children. But then, I’m only six months old. My little feet were being straightened so
that I’d be able to romp and play when I’m older.
*Tm all better now — going home to-morrow. I feel just fine, too, except when I
think of the debts I’ll be leaving behind. You see, Daddy isn’t able to pay for the
Wonderful care and treatment I received.
“The Government and the city I live in’ together, paid $2.35 each day I was here.
Unfortunately, that isn’t enough because it costs the Hospital an average of $3.45 every
day to tteat me and each other little patient.
“More than eight thousand little children were cared for here last year, just like me.
We’re the ones who cause the large deficit of The Hospital for Sick Children every year—•
but everyone admits that we’re worth it.
"It isn’t our fault that we get sick or become crippled, but the least we ban do is
appeal to you for help—particularly when we know that this Hospital does not share in
the Toronto Federation for Community Service funds because Public Ward patients are
admitted from any part of the Province.
“Won’t you send a donation to the Hospital to help meet this deficit? Even a small
gift would be greatly appreciated.
