The Clinton News Record, 1930-07-31, Page 7Q Rinuiilaliou of Rc6etah 'A Column Prepared Especially for Women But Not Forbiddento Men Canoeing At Dusk A heaven of stars look down On a river of 'stars below Yet the Western sky still clipgs To the last, faint, sunset glow. Ah, the world is a thing forgot As you lazily drift along, Waking the river echos With the haunting lilt of a song. There's a brooding peace on the river, As if serge mystic hand Had smoothed each singing ripple, Had hushed othe sounds of the laud. 1 Among the whispering rushes That edge the winding stream, Like elfin lanterns of the dusk' The dancing fireflies gleam. Weird low croak of the frog, In some willow -shadowed- pool, Silver gleam of a fish, In the waters, greenly cool, .A quaint little crooning wind That sings to itself in the trees, Earth holds much that is fair Yet naught can rival these. These are the,joys of the stream That roams at its own sweet will, Through daised 'country meadow, 'By village and tree -crowned hill; While the dusk drops gently down, And deepens more and more, Till the little wistful homelights Shine out along the shore. —Molly Bevan. • Make Your Will Itis a rather queer subject to write about in midsummer, when life is at its best, but there are some subjects which are always in order and I think this is one, that of making a will, There are very few women nowadays who have not the disposal oe some property, real or personal, and it is very much simpler and more sensible to retake provision for the lawful dis- posaI of same while one is hr health and strength. It doesn't shorten one's .life an hour and it makes it much caper for those who are Ieft, sif the disposal of ones goods is arranged for. Andthose who should benefit, those whom you wish to' inherit your property, are assured of doing so. In ease you do not snake a will your, property will be divided amongst your nearest of kin, 'irrespective of whether you wish it to go that way or not, whereas a man or woman may make a will giving the bulk of his or her fortune, or a life interest in it, to the member of his family who is most in need of it. A husband or a wife may leave their property to their remaining partner during life, to be divided at their death, when without a will it is divided by law into certain proportions. Or a mem- ber of a family may be ncapacitated from earning a living for him or herself. In such a case, unless pro- vision is amide, that member of the family fares in law just as the others do. A will, properly drawn up and witnessed, will make certain that the 'wishes of the testator are carried out. There are several ways of making a will. One, and probably the best, is to go to a lawyer in whom you have confidence and telling him your circumstances, get him to draw up your will, which he will be careful to do in legal form. Sometimes people get a will form, with all the where- ases and legal phrases printed• on it, and make their •own will, This might be all right if all these legal forms are fully understood. Sometimes they are not and mistakes are made. One thing to remember is that "real" property means just real es- tate, houses and lands. If you do not own such you have no real property. perty. "Personal property" includes clothing,etc. bonds, not only butb , Shares, securities, etc. Another way to make a will, which is just as legal as if drawn up by the attorney -gem - era],, is to take a clean sheet of paper head it "Last Will and Testament" and write very plainly and clearly, just what you wish done with your property. This will must be dated and your signature witnessed by two persons. It might be well to have a copy of this, place in envelopes, seal and mark and place in a safe place or in two places, in case of accident to one. A safety deposit box in a bank or a fire -proof safe is a good i THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD • al. For many years the need of a hospital in the frontier settlement was a (serious handicap. ITht nearest was 60 miles away in the village of ` Peace River and in wet weather and winter the roads were practically impas- sable. The railways was then an un- fulfilled dream. The very fact that Fairview was an organized municip- ality was a hindrance for very little help couldbe expected from outside. It was too far away and too much of an uncertain fincancial responsi- bility for any large outside voluntary service organization. But in 1924 some of the pioneer women, banded together since 1917 in the "Fairview Women's Institute" in the small settlement -of Water hole, decided to take the initiative for the women were the greatest suf- fe}ers especially in maternity cases. At first a' cottage was rented and one of the members, a wife of a soldier settler with four years' experience overseas nursing, took 'charge and was dependent on the fees of the pat- ients for her salary. The venture proved so successful that at the end of six months the cottage was pur- chased. Extensions have been grad- ually anode and it is hoped soon -to have, a ten bed hospital. The hospi- tal is now on the approved list and receives the usual grant of 50 cents per day per patient. 'Last year 176 patients were ad- mitted. There were 85 babies born there, 40 major operations and• 25 minor performed. It is the proud boast of the Institute that there has not been one instance of maternal mortality.

Canadian Hospital Ship for Arctic Canada has again blazed the trail in the Aretie• by providing a fully equipped miniature hospital ship for use, in the Canadian Arctic. The ship, called the Weedier), is a 38 foot cabin cruiser type. At present it is on its way to Aklavik, North West Territories, which will be its base of operations. Its operating base will make the Medico the most northerly situated hospital ship in the world, The ship will be used to convey pati- ents from any place that can he reached by boat to the hospital at Aklavik. Dr. J. A. Urquhart, N.W. T., doctor at Aklavik, will be in charge of the ship's operations. The craft, which was built in Ed- monton for the N.W.T. branch of the Department of the Interior, left Fort p , Simpson on the Mackenzie river bound for Aklavik . a few days ago. - Canadian Coal Outprit Declines Coal mined in Canada during the first quarter of 1980 amounted to 3,971,808 -tons, a decrease of 14 per cent from the output of 4,622,728 tons for the first three months in place. 1929, according to a report of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Alberta's output of 1,639,324 tons Was 41 per cent of the total Cana- dian production and recorded a de-, crease of 9.5 per cent from the nest quarter. five year avearge. Nova Scotia's total of 1,513„415 tons and Saskatchewan's 'total of 174,531 tons were respectively 11 per cent and 17 per cent higher than the quarterly five year average. 13eitish Columbia mines produced 581,880 tons, a deserase of 14 per cent from the 1925-20 first quarter averagd. New Brunswick's produe- ti•on was slightly higher than the five year average. Woman Pioneer for Baffin Bay ;Mrs. Soper, wife of J.

A - Rusty Nail There exists an impression that some particular danger lies in a scratch; from a rusty nail. There is danger in any scratch because when the skin is broken, there is always the chance of genets entering and causing an infection. The:rbsty nail is not much more likely to do harm than a clean nail, excepting that the rusty nail has probably been lying around and so has had a letter chance of be- coming contaminated. The rust itself. will do no harm; it is simply some of the iron of the nail which ,has become oxidized. The fear of the rusty nail likely had its origin through persons notic- ing that wounds made by rusty artic- les which had been lying aroundon the ground, caused serious infections and that tetanus or lockjaw sometiin- es'occured after such wounds. If nails lie around on the gronnld, they are almost certain to rust, and if the earth is contaminated with the secretions of animals, there is every likelihood that the germ which causes tetanus will be there, and it is also quite possible that some of the soil containing these germs will become attached to the rusty nail. • A wound from such a nail is there- fore dangerous, not because the nail is rusty, but because it has attached to it some dirt or manure which eon I tants germs capable of causing. in fection, ' and because among" these germs will perhaps be found that of tetanus. • Uetfoetunately for us, the germ of tetanus has the power to form spores. The spore is a sort of resting stage, during which the germ is able to re- sist the conditions which destroy. most germs. Because of its ability to form spores, the tetanus germ is able to exist in a soil for long periods of time. A wound in any part of the body should be, promptly and properly treated. The most important point is to ,cleanse the wound thoroughly with soap and water, and then to cov- er it with a sterile 'dressing in order to keep dirt out. . • A particularly dangerous type rof wound is the punctured wound. In such a wound, the penetration is deep, germs May be carried in quite a long way, and it is difficult, if not hies possible to clean out the weird by ordinary washing, as it extends so far below the surface. Wounds of this type should always be brought under medical treatment.

The formal opening of the new Wel- land Canal, which was an event in the Dominion, was in 1930. In the Dominion Archives there is an accurate plan of the level of lame between 'Ohippewa and12-Milebreek which was the original survey made by George Keefer and William Ham- ilton Merritt, a synopsis of the survey is written by Hon. Mr. Merritt and it refers to the crude instruments used in making the survey in which hb es- peicially mentions the water level used at that time. It is remarkably accur- ate and cleaely portrayed. In 1837 an impression of an aerial view of the Welland Canal, showing a bird's eye view of Niagara to Lalce Ontario, is shown which was drawn by W. R. Collingtou. U. S. Canada Confer on Airways Plans • The govermnent has agreed to ac- cept the recommendations recently made after a conference between Un- ited States and Canadian Officials re- garding coordination of airways and radio aids to air navigation, it is an- nounced here. The recommendations are as follows: "1. The international air calling frequency .338 kilocycles be not re- quired regionally for aircraft or aer- onautic stations in Canada or the United States. "2. It be recognized that a frequen- cy separation of 6 kilocycles is ordin- arily sufficient between stations op- erating radio range beacon and radio telephone services.. "3. A minimum distance of 750 utiles between radio beacon stations operating on the same frequency is q Y desirable. It is recommended that this separation be maintained be- tween nations, although in some eases it may be necessary to reduce the separation within the interior -of either country. "4. The following frequencies: 237, 240, 248 and 278 kilocycles out of the band 194-248 Kilocycles be re- served regionally for air services, "5. The following frequencies shall remain free from assignments in the United States within 750 . mules of Canadian airways radio stations: 248, 290, 296, 326 and 332 kilocycles. In addition, no further assign- ments in the United States should be made on the following frequencies within 750 utiles of Canadian airways radio stations: 240 and 314 kilocycles. "6. The following frequencies shall remain free from assignments in Canada within 750 Miles of the United States airways radio stations: 254, 260, 266, 272, 284, 302, 308, 820, 388 and 344. "7,: The frequency 278 kilocycles should be reserved primarily for low power airport use." • Issue Rules for Farm Prosperity The following rule's have been for- mulated.,by agricultural experts here as an aid to bettor and more lucrative farming. • (1) Farm because he loves it; fevi. people succeed in doing things they me not interested in. (2) Ire should ,adopt a sound fin- ancial. policy in his 'individual farms operation, and'ievestment sof any sur- plus funds , which he accumulates should be in• securities which can be convorted quickly into .cash when needed. Corporations or business Men usually invest teeir surplus funds M good stocks and bonds not necessarily allied with their own bus- iness, with a daily market value so they can be immediately convected in- to cash if needed in their business, Farmers, when possible, should follow this principle. (3) Plan his work; keep in close touch with his Provincial Agricultural College, experiment station and county agent. (4) Have his soil analyzed and cul- tivate only productive land; base production on demand as near as. possible, and produce quality pro- ducts. (5) Join with his neighbors in or- ganizing a cooperative marketing association through which to sell his products because in union there is strength. Canada and U.S. Make Most Paper The United States and Canada to- gether produce about as much pulp from wood as all the rest of the world combined, according to recent estim- ates. The other outstanding pro- ducers are, in order of their impor- tance, 'Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Japan. The latest figur- es available for all these countries are for 1927 and _these strew that in the production of pulp, Canada ranks first, with the United States, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Japan following in that order. In the production of paper and board the United States ranks first, with Canada, Germany and Great Britain following, In export trade Sweden exports a- bout 40 per cent. of the world's total exported pulp, followed by Canada, Norway and Finland in that order. The United States, in spite of its great production, .is the greatest Im- porter of pulp with 36 per cent. of the total, followed by Great Britain with 34 per cent. Considering the total paper exported by all the countries of the world as 100 per cent. Canada exports 45 per cent. of this quantity, followed by Sweden with 11. per cent., Germany with 10 per cent., Norway with 8 per cent., Finland with 7 per cent., and the United Stat- es with 2 per Cent. As to the imports of paper con- sidered on the same basis, the United. States imports 56 per cent. of the tot- al and Great Britain 20 per cent, Germany imports large quantities of Woodfo • s the manufacture of Pulp, P p. while Great 'Britain -imports consid- erable amounts of wood pulp and al- so" of esparto. In the Far East, Japan is the only important producer of pulp and pap- er. pa -er, There is little competition to be met by United States paper manu- factures in Far Eastern markets largely because the papers made by the Japanese mills are adapted to the peculiar requirements of the Or- ient and those papers are not made by United States Mills. There is a rather steady market for certain grades of papers made in the United States and the Japanese production affects the sale of these only slightly. Research Work in Agricultural Dept. .Canadian farmers, almost entirely throughresearch work under the Do- minion Department of Agriculture, are now producing practically all the tobacco that is required for Canadian tobacco manufacturers and the to- bacco is of better quality than the more expensive tobacco hitherto im- ported from the 'United States, Dr, E. S. Archibald, director of the Cen- tral Experimental Farm, stated re- cently. L. Ii, Newman, Dominion cerealist, ,in speaking of the Reward wheat as now (being considered the best type for growing in Canada, spoke also of the efforts now being made to .grow peas with different grains to secure a combination that will permit the farrier to harvest the highly desirable proteini qualities of the peas by use of a binder instead of the old•meth.ods.

The boys' -ages • averaged only 23 years. The purpose. of the voyage which is •under the auspices of the Royal' Geo- graphical society, is to obtain infor- mation with a view to establishing an air route from England to North America across the. Artie regions with only 300 miles over the sea, H. G. Watkins,' 23 year old explorer, is leader of the expedition. Bach of his companions is It 'specialist. A scientific exploration ,of Labrador was nnade last' year by Watkins and of Spitsbergen the year before. The. expedition will establish a base on the south eastern coast of Greenland and a station on top of the ice cap, 8,000 feet above sea level. • A year's food supply was packed in the hold of the Quest and two air - 'Wanes, two speed boats; sledges and several delicate meteorological in- struments furnished by the Govern- ment, were included in the equipment. The flying conditions in the Attic have already been rather thoroughly investigated by Canada and radio stations are in operation by the De- partment of Marine in that area and wether reports have ,been made av- ailable. Flying officials in the Nat- ional Defence Department at Ottawa are reluctant to express an opinion as to the feasibility of setting up an air route between Canada and'Eng- land 1hrougg the Artie, They 'point out, however, that it would be essen- tial to such a''project that supply bases be put down at several points long the route and that every advan- tage be taken of radio range finding stations in the Hudson Strait. Better Business Tone Expected To Follow Election • Ottawa, August 29th, (Special to The News-Record)-Irresipective pf whether or not the •,outcome of the election meets the approval of the in- dividual, there is a nation-wide relief that it is over and that the country can -resume business on as broad a scale as home and foreign economic conditions will permit. An election campaign, with its at- tendant uncertainties, unvariably af- fects business. It makes a bad busi- ness period worse and a good busi- ness period poor. There is the un- certainty as to what platform poli- tical leaders will embrace to lure the voter, and then the uncertainty of the effect and time of the applica- tion of such" policies. Very seldom in history have the polieies of even a new ministry been so revolutionary in nature or so sudden in application as to throw the economic machinery out of gear, Mit, despite that fact, "business' is a decidedly nervous institution that appears willing to shy at any pos- sibbe innovation. (There is no question but that busi- ness in Canada has been badly out of gear the past eight months; and in "business" may be included the basic , industries. of agriculture, mining and lumbering, as well as industries based upon our raw products, or upon imported materials. Indications are not wanting, how- ever, that a swing towards better times is in prospect. Both parties Were more or less in accord on many items of policy which should aid employment and employment is the Fundamental factor in the economic life. Those who pose as authorities on economies in the Dominion are not anticipating ariy overnight return of the piping tunes of 1927-28 and early '29 but they do see improve- ment on the horizon. The disturbing factor perhaps is that the outlook for the back -bone industry of the coun- try, agriculture, is least bright. There is the matter of regaining 4001, THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1930 lost overseas and foreign markets. This has to be acgotmplished in the face of universal depression and a- gainst a degere of competition not (net for sixteen years. Perhaps it has never been met, for a new fac- tor has entered and that is' the in- telligent application of cheap labor and the most rnodeirn machinery to agricultural production in 'suchcoun- tries as Russia. ,An aggressive campaign to meet_ theseoconditions is to be launched by the Governmentas soon as the smoke of election battle has cleared. away. It will be needed.

Riel rebellion were db- tained by Dr. A. G. Doughty at the Dominion Archives, Ottawa. 'These/ documents also include in- teresting copies of acts passed by the first session ,of the first legislature of Rupert's Land, of which 'Louis Riel was president, one of them be- ing an act to establish a military force. This force was to consist of 50 men to be stationed at Fort Garry and their monthly wages were set at $15 wdth board. There are many interesting docu- ments in the collection which Dr. Doughty obtained from York, Eng- land, from relatives of a British sol -o dier who apparently during the re- bellion -seized the letters at the Riel home and elsewhere. . Riel's proelam'ation prior to the re- bellion under the caption of the "List of Rights" set forth the reasons for the upheaval which came to be known in later years as the North- west rebellion.
