Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram, bishop of London, writing of his recent visit to Canada in the Vengive Review, which appeared today, suggests "if temeiwo hundred millions spent upon keeping people unemployed • in Eng- land 'could be spent in developing Canada there would be something to show for it and ,something which at the public means to grace. Then Sunday is a good time to do some cultural reading; it is a mod time to visit sick or shut-ins. I really do not know what we workaday people would 'do without Sunday. It was a wise and kind porvisinn, that of preesiding for a world of workers day of rest and warship in each sev- en. Some countries have tried to do away with it and substitute some- thing else, but so far nothing has been found "just as good." We shall be wise if we see to it that tea Sunday is kept as free as possible from the inroads of conunerce or of sport. REBEKAH .IIELPFUL HUSBAND , and potato parings strewn all over the scenery.

Seaforth Lions Club Put on • Fine Frolic One of the most successful Hal- lowe'en frolics in the hietory of the Seaforth Lions club was held on Fri, day evening when more than 2,000 persons crowded the arena and took part in the evening's fun. Upwards of 400 persons were in costume ad- ding materially to the carnival ef- fect, and competition in the costume judging was keen. The skating rink was gaily decor- ated for the occasion and the var- ious ,booths were well patronezed. The drawing for the capital prizes also took place at the rink. Ap- preximately $1,100 was realized from the sale of tickets on these draw- ings, and the entire proceeds of the evening's entertainment goes to the Lions club crippled children's fund.

USEFUL HOUSEH OLD SUGGESTIONS The Story of the Grape The grape is one of the oldest fruits known to man, and it is one of the most healthful, wholesome and nutritious. It delights whether used as dessert, or prepared as jam, jelly, conserve or beverage. Records show that the grape was cultivated by the Ancients over five thousand years ago, and so impor- tant was it in national health and national „economy that its introdue- then was ascribed 'to a god. With the Romans this god was Bacchua, with the Greeks, Dionysus; with the Egyptians it was Oriels; while the Hebrews ascribed its introduction to Noah. When the Norsemen first visited the North American continent over 1000 years ago, they found .the grape growing wild in "Vineland" as they named what we knew as NeW Eng- land, while in more recent times a wide variety of species have been In- troduced from Europe. Grapo production in Canada it rapidly growing in importance both in Ontario and British Columbia. The varieties produced include the blues, ambers and whites. The 1931 crop has matured with excellent qual- ity, ensuring an ample supply at prices attractive te everyone. Grapes For Health There is a tang to grapes which gives zest to the appetite, and this is the time of the year when they are available in abundance. No fruit is more healthful than the grape, which is rich in both minerals and sugar. Grapes furnish such alkaline salts as potash, lime, magnesia'iron, etc, which have a tonic effect, par- ticularly for anyone subject to acid- osis; while the sugar they supply is a special kind se easily assimilated as to involve only a minimum of di- gestive effort. Those who suffer from anaemia, rheumatism, or digestive disorders, will find the use of grapes highly beneficial in restoring the system to its normal functienieg. The use of grapes as a principal article or diet is recommendee by many eminent medical authorities, and what is known as the "grape cure" is fre- quently prescribed. In this cure mon- otony is avoided through the use of several varieties of grapes. In bats quality and variety Canadian grown grapes are exceptienal. s' Some More Grape Recipes Grape Marmalade Wash the grapes, remove from the stem and pvess the pulp from the skins.

MARY'S LITTLE LAMB ROUSES CONTROVERSY Henry Feed Involved in Battle Over Origin of Rhyme Philadelphia, Oct. 29.—A charge that Henry Ford, in attributing auth- orship of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" to a Massachneets schoolboy, is per- petrating an injustice on the true author, is contained in a book cal- led, "The Lady 'of Geeley's," which will be published by Lippincotes to, day. • • The author of the book, a life story of Sarah Joseph Hale, who was edi- tor of Godey's Lady's Book for more than 40 years, is etuth E. Finley. Ilers. Finley is emphatic in .her as- sertion that "Mary. Had a Little Lamb" came front the pen of Mrs. Hale, and .that the Massachusetts' schoolboy had nothing to do with it. Mrs. Finley is quite indignant •ov- er Ford's versien of the poem's birth. The automobile magnate has credited John Roulstone with writing it. Ile has placed Roulstone's name on a bronze tablet atthe old Redstone Schoolhouse which he has preserved at' Sudbury, Mass., and has issued tourist pamphlets titled, "The True Story of Mary's Little Lamb," he which Roulstone is given credit for the poem. The eontroversy has several intrie cate ramifications and Mrs. Finley presents both versions. She insists, however, that "Mary Had a Little Lanib" was copyrighted by Mrs. Hale and published several times .under her name. It remained for MeGuf- lents Second Reader to put it, into every; home and every child's mem- ory. MeGuffey published it without credit to Mrs. Hale. The gory which Ford accepted and perpetuated came to light in 1877. says Mrs. Finley. The ladies af Boston were holding a series of ba- zaars to raise money to save the old South Church from destruction. To them came Mary Elizabeth Sawyer Tyler, aged 71, of Sterling Mass, She had a donation to make --a startling donation. It was an old pair oe knitted woollen stock- ings. They were knitted, de affirm- ed, front the wool of the very Iamb that followed May to scheol. And she, in person, the said Mrs. Tyler, was no less a person than little Mary grown old. Mrs. Tyler declared that about 1816 John Roulstone, then a boy of 11 or 12, wrote the first 12 lines of the poem on a piece of paper end gave it to her. The bazaar ladies were thrilled. They accepted the story and the stockings. (They unravelled the stockings, clipped the yarn into tiny pieces, pasted them on cards and sold them for souvenirs. After Ford bought the Redstone Scho,olhouse, in 1926 and moved it to Sudbury, near the old Wayside Inn, he put up the breeze plate crediting Mrs. Tyler with being the original Mary, and John Roulstorte as author of the first 12 lines. The plate also includes the name of Mrs. Hale. "whose genius completed the poein in its present form." 1VIrs. Finley writes that there is nee a shred of evidence to support Mrs. Tyler's story. (Readers of The News -Record will be especially interested in abo.ve, as the late Horatio Hale, for many years a resident of Clinton and father of Mr. C.13. Hale of town, was a son of les.

In 1929 they held a conference at St. George's Protestant Episcopal Church, New York, and in 1927 they held a 'con- ference at the First Presbyterial Church, Baltimore. Both of these conferences, attracted 'region -wide attention, bringing teeether leading churchmen from all pate of the country. It will be so at the Cleve- land Coeference. The League is composed of individ, ual Chtistians, there being no dele- gated groups, but each member of the League supports the Paot oe Re- cenciliation, which calls for the re- cognition of the equality of all Christians before God.

In some manner—how, we do not undergand—this growth of the cells is regulated and con - When this control is lost or when it becomes dieorganizee, it is appar. eat then that growth acture which, in some eases, is cancerees or malig- nant. Willy and how this happens we do not knewt. What appears to be the case is that cancer arises in the normal cells of the body. It is, as it were, growth run wild. (Many theories have been advanced to explain the occurrence of cancer, which is another way of saying that there is no theory which is satisfac- tory or which is generally accepted. The disease is not hereditay. In any disease which is as common as cancer, several cases Truly occur in one family, but, as far as we know, this is not due to heredity, nor has it been .proved that any particular diet has any influence on cancer. Chronic irritation of some kind is frequently followed by cancer. The irritation may be mechanical, such as is caused by broken teeth or P000.. !y -fitting dental plates. The irrita- tion may be due to chronic inflam- mation, such as is seen in the fe- male generative ergans, particular- ly in the cervix or leager part of the' uterus, The stomach may be chronically irritated through abuse, and the lower bowel as a vesult of constipation. Our present knowledge brings us tit say that in so far as prevention is concerned, all we can do it to avoid the types of chronic irritation men- tioned &gave. The mouth should be kept healthy and the stomach free from abuse. Constipation must be avoided, and any chronic int-lemma- ory condition corrected by proper treatment. In its early stages, cancer is a local disease. If, during that stage, • it is completely removed or destroy- ed, a cure results. The periodic health examination by the family physician alle.ws for the early detection of cancer, and this is one resson why such regular examinations are advocated. Many deaths which now occur from cancer could have been prevent- ed,had the cases come under treat, mnt early. It is the delay which is disastrous. Sores which do net heal readily, indigestion after forty years of age discharge frotn the body, lumps in the breast—none of these signs should be neglected. Life its- elf depends upon giving attentibn to these warning signals. The =edition may not be cancer, but if it is treat- ment should be secured at once.

That paper nev- a rages an oppertunity of pouring( contempt on the Volstead Act and all its works. The awkward fact is that in spite of all its weaknesses the States persists in sticking to "the great experiment." There ave people who actually think the effect of prohibition is not all bad. The Packet and Times ran across one af them among our American summer visitors—,an intelligent, widely trav- elled and apparently unbiassed gen- tleman. "Though I am not a total abstainer , myself", he said, "and though I voted wet the last time, if I have to do it again I shall vote dry. I shall do this on ecceannie gthunde. Though the law is openly violated in some sections and among some clesses, to my mind there is no question but that the condition of the American workingman is intIn- hely better than it was, because of prohibition, As a class they are bet. tee housed, better clad and better fed than they would be if Uglier were readily available."' This opin- ion accords with that expressed by two recent writers in Current Hise tory on the depression in the United States, one of there a Labour author- ity, and the other a college profee- SOT but both agreeing that the dale tress due ta •harcl • times has 'Men markedly reduced by prohibition. The fact is that it has not yet been prove ed that Prohibition . will lie an ulti- mate frame, any more than that govananent control will be an nIti- mate satecess.—Orillia Packet etwe Times. 1
