"Unaccustomed as we are," says William Arthur Deacon, Literary Editor of The Globe and Mail, "to industrial history, it must come as a surprise that the most important historical narrative published in Canada this year is the story of Massey -Harris. Still more surpris- ing is the fact we have here no mere vaunt of success in dollars, nor only information about the mechanical improvement of ma- chines, but social history of an engrossing nature." The story written by the facile and .forceful writer, Merrill Deni- son, author of Klondike Mike and other books, is the story of Can- ada's growth and development, the opening up and settlement of the West, and the pros and cons of the ubiquitous tariff question. In terms that are intelligible and, interesting to the general reader, the author traces the influence of agricultural mechanization on the world's economy. As: a footnote to Canadian his- tory, it is a new and- illuminating picture of Canada's social and economic development, hitherto a largely, neglected field, that will prove of absorbing interest to the .general reader. The book is high- lighted by sets of illustrations bas- ed; on authentic historical prints and records. Ilun ers Seek ears Roaming in Hensall District District parents have been driv- ing their children to school as reports. of wild •animals•. roaming the area are becoming increasing- ly widespread. In the past week three wolves and two bears have been spotted by district farmers. Although it is known wolves often wander during the winter, it Lis not known why the bears are about at this time of year when they usually hibernate. Farmers fear the bears may be hungry and vicious. Alex Mousseau, Hay Township farmer, said he spotted two bears Saturday in a wheat field on the farm of Ed. Funk, two miles west of Hensall. Later they were seen on the nearby farm of Bruce Koeh- ler. They are believed to have headed to a large swamp area close by. Hunters launched a drive in the afternoon, and later said the bears were seen scampering away before they could fire, Ram forced can- cellation of the drive within a few hours, but another is planned in the near future. Among those taking part in the drive were Stan Tudor•, Alex Mous- seau, Harold Williard, Bruce Koeh- ler, 13i11 Bell, George Beer, Ed. Funk and Milton Russell.
