The Clinton News Record, 1937-10-07, Page 6?AK 6 THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD "The Cashel a en-IIunt The case of the young Wyoming desperado, Ernest Cashel,; who for many months defied all the resources of the Royal Canadian, Mounted Po- lice after committing murder and rob- bery, will be: presented in a dramatiz- ed version over the CBC national net- work on Tuesday, October 12, at 9.30 p.m. EST. This play, "The Cashel Man -Hunt, adapted by Harwood Steele from offiejal records and pro- duced by Rupert Lucas, will be the third of, a series of true dramas based on the history of force. Cashel was one of the "bad men" 6f the early American west who fled into Canada after a series of crimes in 'Wyoming and other states. The reckless out- law continued his wild career on this side of the border by murdering a Canadian rancher. The Scarlet .Rid- ers combed the Prairies, for hundreds of miles in quest of the elusive Cash- el, and it wasn't until months later' thatthey finally brought him to the bar of justice. Five days before the date of his execution, he escaped from a Calgary guardsman, under the very shadow of the gallow. The Wyoming criminal started another reign of ter- ror, pillaging scores of farm houses and robbing lonely travellers. After one of the most thorough searches in the annals of the Mounties, they tracked him down to pay his debt to society. .Actually Broadcast From Airport ' CBC's Winnipeg publicity man wir- ed this column today to say that the October 8 broadcast in the new series ,of "Night Shift" features is to origin- ate from the Edmonton, Alberta, air- port.

WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING TIIE BOYCOTT Of' JAPAN . wa to correct this situation, ` Govern - me t p 1' y tly 1 ds The British people are thoroughl aroused over the brutal and cruel ai attacks of Ja.han upon undeleiide cities. Englishmen,. above all things like to see people play cricket. The believe, in fair play, whether ah- sport or war. Atrocities' of any kind, at tacks on women. and children, will sti their ire. One can recall how th peaceful Gladstone aroused Englan in his denunciation of the Bulgarian nlassaeres by the Turks. , The famous Midlothian. by-election in 1880 was fought on this issue. England would not have gone into the Great War with such unanimous enthusiasm if it had not been for Germany's invasion' of Belgium; despite a' treaty to the contrary. It has aroused the English- man's sense of injustice. So today Japan's brutal attacks on undefended Chinese cities, with the massacre of thousands of defenceless civilians has stirred up British anger. There is a movement on foot` to boy- cott Japanese goods. It is led. by organizations which ordinarily stood for peace and good will -the chur- ches.and trade unionists, The move. ment. has spread now to Prance. It is only by such action that will bit the Japanese pocket -book that Japan will realize that it has the whole of Western civilization opposed to it. This boycott movement may prove more effective than all the diplomatic protests. -London Free Press. WOULD HELP Ontario this year has a. large sur- plus of potatoes which, will no doubt be the cause of a low price for this (product to the consumer. It is said that in the Holland marshes' of On- tario the vegetable growers are bles- sed with a wonderful crop but they fear a glutted market in which case much of the crop of vegetables will become a total loss or the return for their season's effort will net them very little or maybe a. loss. Hon. Mr. Gardiner, Dominion • Min- ister of Agriculture, has issued an appeal to voluntary agencies to con- tinue their work of shipping fruits and vegetables to the drought -strick- en areas in'Western Canada. The need in the West is very great. It, would help the Ontario market materially if the surplus of potatoes, vegetables and fruits were purchased by the Government and sent to the stricken areas of the West. The nee- dy in that area would benefit and so would the Ontario producer. This would in no way interfere with the donations sent to the West by various organizations, as the need in the stricken areas is greater than ever and all the help afforded them by the East, would not only be appreciated, but would brighten the lives in the districts that have had a very hard time for several years past. Wingham Advance -Times. n o rc apparea c ep1 en " on Y expanding business . -activity to solve r the revenue problem. - At the shine time, ordinary ertpenclitures are per- ,, mitted to expand' so that a' solution' 5' is further postponed. The most important factor contri- buting to Government apathy is unin-, r formed public opinion. Outside basil e Hess circles there has been little; or d no demand for a balanced budget and. until such demand develops it is un- likely that drastic action will be' ta- ken, by the Government to attain a balanced budget. It .is `imperative, there'.fore, that every Canadian should realize the dangers. inherent in con- tinued deficits. Few Canadians feel a sense of per- sonal concern when, they read that the accumulateddeficits of the Do- minion Government during the past five years total $717 millions, This complacency in the face of mounting public debt is testimony to the lack of Understanding on. the part of the average titan regarding the extent to which this development affects his present and future welfare. Actual- ly, it has a direct effect upon the se- curity of his job, the buying power of his income and the security of his savings. As taxpayers' all Canadians should be concerned about the upward trend in Government expenditures and debt, With each increase in debt, individual liability increases. Furthermore, each increase in debt increases the amount required for debt service, so that the amount of revenue available for other purposes is reduced. Ordinary citizens are affected not only as taxpayers but as wage-earn- ers. Business activity in this and any country is deptendent" on confi- dence in thefiscal policies of the Gov- ernment. 'The hesitancy in Alberta at the present time is typical of what happens when this confidence is lack- ing. " In Federal affairs, sharply ris- ing revenues have momentarily cloud- ed the real issue which is the contin- ued failure of the Government to a- chieve a properly balanced budget. It is this deficit -financing which ultim- ately endangers employment. of those now working and re-employment of those • now out of jobs. Taxation of business is already so high as to re- tard business in many lines. Higher taxes would put a further brake out business and would also affect men of moderatemeans, since large incomes are already assessed to the point of virtual confiscation. In continued deficits there is alsc the threat of ultimate inflation, with its destructive effects both on accum- ulated. savings and the buying power of income. In a period of inflation, wage-earners would find that their pay increased much more slowly than the cost of living. Thus, the effect would be the same on purchasing power and on the standard of living as if wages were progressively reduc- ed. There is only one course open to those who wish to avoid the evils of crushing taxation or the greater ev- ils of inflation. This course is to. bring pressure on Ottawa to balance its budget and put its financial house in order immediately. An abrupt change in the fiscal policy of the Gov- ernment can 'Duly be brought about through informed public opinion. Financial Post. BUDGETS AND PUBLIC OPINION A most disquieting aspect of Can- ada's financial position is the contin- uance of Federal deficits, although four years have passed since business activity turned upward. Even more serious, perhaps, is the lack of eon- structive action on the part of Otte - DOINGS IN THE SCOUT WORLD Latest Rumor of Baden-Powell's Retirement Officially Denied. Official denial of a rumor circulat- ed in London following the dote of She Intesnation Scout' Jamboree in Holland, that Lord Baden-Powell,was contemplating retirement as World Chief Scout, was made "by :Mr, J. F. M. Stewart, Toronto, upon his return from the Jamboree, where he acted as official head of the Canadian Scout contingent. Mr. Stewart is Chairman of the Executive Board of the Canadian General Council of the Boy Scouts` Association. 'It was officially announced by Im- perial Scout Headquarters in London," Mri- Stewart stated, "that there was absolutely no foundation to the ru- mor. "My wife and I had the pleasure of spending a week -end at Pax Hill with Lord and Lady Baden-Powell, and the World Chief Scout was in excellent health, full, of energy, and discussing 'a long list of Scout, engagements. Some of these' were two years ahead. This whiter he will visit South Afri- ca and Rhodesia. In. 1939 he expects to attend a Scout Jamboree in the West Indies, and another in New South Wales, on the other side of the world. He also plans to attend 'the next World Rover Moot, to be held in Scotland in 1939. "No, the old Chief is still the irre- pressible, everyouthful: B. -P., and he's not for a moment thinking of going on the. shelf." Canadian Scouts Made Good Impression The international gathering- o f Scouts in Holland Mr. Stewart report- ed as a splendid, happy gathering that offered an unforgettable example of: international youth friendliness, in contrast tothe strain and turmoil that characterizes somuch of the ad -II ult world today. Some 28,000 boys were present from 32 different conn. tries, and only the happiest fraterniz- ing characterized their two weeks of camping together. The Canadian Scouts male an ex- cellent impression, and very creditably represented the Dominion in the.var- ious reviews. In the great opening march past before Her Majesty Queen Wilhelmina of Holland and Lord Baden-Powell, Canada had the honour. of leading the lirritish Empire section of 8,000 boys, the largest division of the review, The next largest visiting contingent was the French, whose 2,000 Scouts made a splendid appear- ance. Bumper Crop Grapes Now Selling Cheaply A bumper crop of grapes is being picked this year in the Niagara Pen- . nsula, Ontario, where nearly all the commercial crop of this ` fruit is grown in Canada, This year's crop is more than twice that of 1936 when 23,104,000 lb. were harvested, of which Ontario accounted for 21,640,- 000 Ib. and British Columbia 1,964,- 000 lb. During the next two to three weeks fresh grapes will be available in 6 quart baskets at reasonable prices. The fruit is healthful, wholesome and nutritious and is excellent to eat fresh. It is also incomparably good for jam, jelly and is a beverage, for grape juice is a refreshing and del- ectable drink. History discloses" that the grape was cultivated by the Ancients' over five thousand years ago, and so im- portant was it in national health and. national economy that its introduction was ascribed to a god. With the Romans this god was Bacchus, with the Greeks, Dionysus; with the Egypt ions it was Orisrs while the Hebrews ascribed its introduction to Noah. When the Norsemen fist visited the North American continent over 1000 years ago, they found the grape growing wild in "Vineland," the ter - Plow Assists Radio Engineers Even in these days of advanced science the radio engineer turns to the humble plow - perhaps man's' first mechanical achievement - to assist hint in the construction of an ultra -modern high powered broadcasting station. Here we see the plow, special- ly destigned by J. B. Radford, in eharge of installa- tion of the two 50 kilowatt stations, at Hornby, Ontario, and Vercheres, Quebec, which are being built for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation by the Northern Electric Company Limited, in Mont- real. The plow is used for the burying of 15 miles of copper wire In the form of a huge wheel at the base of the 660 ft. radiating tower, at the top of which, as shown in our sketch, is an aerial beacon, This mass of wire forms a perfect ground system and is as wide as the tower is high. These two sta- tions, the most powerful in Canada, will be on the air early this. Fall, A Opportunity Open for Sheep Raising Prospective sheep raisers in east- ern Ontario will have an excellent opportunity this fall to get into the sheep business with a'small cash out- lay. Thousands of farms in Eastern Canada at this season of the year have ample roughage in the form of pasture, stubble fields and in hay- fields to feed a sizable "flock .oebreed- Ing ewes., With the advent of the electrical strand wire fence, the fenc- ing problem for sheep is likelyto be simplified as to cost and type of fence. While the quality of hay on many farms this year may not be as good as in other years for fattening live stock, it will, however, be good enough for breeding ewes. Most sheep ranchers in Western Canada have from 100 to 500 dry ewes ranging in age from yearlings to five -year-olds. These ewes are available for sale because they mis- sed at breeding time, due to adverse weather conditions,or because of the1 loss of lambs at lambing. All flocks of dry ewes should be sorted for bad udders and broken mouths. The advantages of shipping dry ewes to Eastern Canada is that they can be bred early, in fact almost at any time now; whereas range ewes that have raised lambs could not be bred for two months after the lambs were weaned, and a long train. jour- ney 'vould cause additional interfer- ence with the possibilities of success- ful breeding until late in November or early December. Eastern lamb markets are usually short of lamb supplies during late May, June, July and August. Increas- ed tourist traffic this year "has ,crea- ted a larger than usual demand for local killed lamb at all totu'ist cen- tres and camping sites. This indi- cates the possibilities of a larger Iamb production at profitable prices during this period of the spring and summer. It is logical, therefore, that any movement of western ewes to Eastern Canada for early breeding and the raising of early lambs would help' to round out the national sheep policy and tend to make choice Cana- dian lamb available for the consumer at alI seasons of the year. How to Combat Crickets in Houses According to the Dominion Entom- ologist the pale -brown house cricket, GryIlus " domesticus, caused annoy- ance and damage in dwellings during the summer and autumn, in a num- ber of towns and cities, especially i n Ontario, and Southern ;Quebec. Thi. insect is European in origin, and its presence in. the Dominion was first recorded about fifty gears ago. It is now widespread in Eastern Can- ada, and also in the United States, east of the Rocky Mountains, House crickets may breed prolifically in garbage dumps; during, the ,warm months of the year, and from thence find their way into ": neighbouring dwellings, sometimes in large num- bers. The common black field cric- ket, G. assimilis Fab., is also a nuis- ance in houses wherever it is abun- dant in the field. The monotonous chirruping or "song" of the crickets is produced by the male rubbing together , the outer pair of his wings, which bear special structures for this purpose. This noise is very anneying to many per- sons, especially as it is made chiefly at night, when crickets are most ac- ritory now known as :New England. Grape'lulttu'e in Canada dates from 1857. In 1880 there were only 400 acres under cultivation to grapee now there are about 15,000 acres. tive. Furthermore, crickets will feed on almost any organic substance, and, as a result, sometimes do much da- mage by eating •holes in clothing and ether fabrics. They are elusive in- sects and often difficult to locate, a fact that further exasperates distres- sed householders. The house cric- ket favors warns situations, however, and usually may be found hiding in cracks and crevices in walls and brickwork close to furnaces, fire- places, chimneys and ovens. When conditions are suitable, the house cricket may continue active all win- ter. Crickets that have established themselves in dwellings may be de- stroyed by means of fresh pyrethrum powder, or sodium fluoride. These materials should be blown liberally in- to the places in which the crickets are hiding, by means of a dust gun or insecticide puffer, bearing in mind the fact that sodium fluoride is pois- onous to humans and animals, Pyre- thrum fly sprays are also effective when in actual contact with the in- sects. WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION STATEMENT The accidents reported to The: Workmen's Compensation Board dur- ing September numbered 6,876, as. compared with 6,799 during August, and 5,513 during September a year ago. The total benefits awarded during - September amounted to $461,079.84, of which $355,269.85 was for com- pensation and $106,409.49 for medical ' aid. This year's record to date shows a total of 51,669 accidents reported, as compared with 44,645 during tho. same period last year, and total bene- fits of $4,429,255.97 as against $3,- 938,825.89 to the end of September, 1936.

Exposure 1/100 second at f.11 on supersensitive film. COMES the time every year when many of us make for the lake or seashore for cool breezes, swim- ' ming, sailing, motorboating, fish- ing, and the many other pleasures that go with a sojourn bythe water. Any one can enjoy this fun with- out a camera, but verily to go and return without having made a pic- ture -story of yourvisit seems as uselessas trying to write a book about it with waterfor ink. When you have finished, your memory ,may retain some of it for a time, but eventually you remember little else than the fact that you went there. Years later you will say, "Yes, I had a good time that summer," but what did you do, whom were you with, what did you see? Bet a mil- lion that with nothing in your snap- shot album to show for it, you will remember scarcely anything of the details of that good time, and re- gretfully wish you could. Another reason for taking your camera to the lake or seashore is that where water is, with its bright: reflections, you have exceptional chances for making fine pictures,. Usually by the lake or seashore,, even on cloudy days you have more - light to work with than inland. The. extra light gives you opportunity to "stop down" (use a smaller lens op.. ening) and thereby obtain sharpy clear-cut details. Also there is no better place for interesting action pictures than a summer resort. Except for the beach itself and the hotels, cottages and wharves, everything seems to be in motion. Of, course, if you want close-ups of fast action you should be equipped with a fast camera, but don't forget that splendid work with many water scenes` is done with an inexpensive fixed focus, camera. If it is vapid motion such as an ap- proaching motorboat, shoot from an angle at a distance of 75 to 100 feet and usually youget it without blur, Then have an enlargement made-, when you get' home. 145 John van Guilder.
