Editor, Western Globe:
t Sir—At the recent conven-
tion of the $.S.U. held in Edmonton,
many important decisions . were
reached, affecting Soldier settlers
and Empire settlers. Tentative ,ar-
rangements were also made for an
inter-provincial conference on sol-
dier settler matters, prior to making
representations to the Federal gov-
ernment.
The local Union is meeting on
Saturday, March 14, in Lacombe
Town Hall at 2 pm. All soldier
settlers and Empire settlers in the
district, whether members of the
Union or not, are urgently impressed
with the importance of being pres-
ent. Do not fail to come and try
to help yourselves,
H. E, HEATH,
Vice-President, Lacombe

Flax Will Prove
A Profitable Crop
On Park Belt Farm
While farmers practically all over
iit prairie provinces are still con-
centrating on wheat, despite their
inability to secure a reasonable
price for -it, there is one class of
crop for which the demand is much
greater than the supply, and for
which a constant market is
assured, as its products are required
in the manufacture of textiles, live
stock feeds, tonics, medicaments,
paint and many other products. This
crop is flax.
Early maturing varieties of flax
have been successfully grown for a
mumber Of years at the Dominion
Experimental Station, Lacombe. The
‘only apparent reasons for its not
being grown to any extent in Central
Alberta are that suitable varieties
were not formerly available and that
while flax is an old acquaintance
of a few farmers it is absolutely
new to the majority. .
On the whole, northern-grown
flax is of higher quality than that
grown farther south. The introduc-
tion of new early-maturing varieties
gives farmers of Central Alberta
an opportunity to replace low priced
wheat with high priced flax—at a
profit. 4 .
At Lacombe, flax will yield from
15. to.20 bushels per acre. When
tion with the current price‘ of flax
—and the fact that the market would
indicate that another million bush-
els annually are required in Canada
alone—it would seem quite safe to
suggest that for the next few years,
at least, flax should prove one of the
most. profitable of farni crops. ;
With any new crop, it is wise to
start in a small way in order to
learn how to handle it before un-
dertaking its production on any
large scale. This is particularly true
of flax. ,
The Dominion Experimental Sta-
tion, Lacombe, hasn’t any flax seed
for distribution; however, depend-
able seed may be secured from any
established seed house.
A further article, dealing with the
merits of the different varieties and
describing the best cultural meth-
ods of flax, will appear in an early
edition of the Western Globe.

Fruit Canning
Important Industry
Of Australia
Fruit canning is now one of Aus-
tralia’s important industries, canner-
ies being located in each of the
states, according to the mister of
one of the Canadian National Steam-
ships freighters in the Canada-Aus-
tralia-New Zealand service. The
principal fruits canned are apricots,
pears, peaches and pineapples. The
main production is centered in the
irrigation areas of Victoria and New
South Wales. The fruit canning in-
dustry of Australia has had a re-
markable rise. Twenty-five yéars
ago the production of canned fruits
was. almost non-existent. For the
year to the end of June, 1934, the
value of canned fruit exports from
Australia amounted to, roughly,
$4,770,505.
Oi
TO ENCOURAGE WHEAT
CONSUMPTION
For the purpose of increasing the
per capita consumption of wheat
products in the United States by im-
proving the quality of flour and
bread sold to domestic consumers,
The Northwestern Miller suggests
that low-grade flour should be taxed
in .order that the sale of higher
grades or patent flour should be
encouraged. This scheme would
force low-grade flours into export
channels, it is contended, and the
scheme would increase the amount
of wheat required for flour making
from 450,000,000 to 550,000,000 bush-
els annually. By this method, to-
gether with the 42c duty on imports,
United States prices could be main-
tained at a_ figure substantially
above world price levels.

NEW TAXATION PROVIDED FOR
INCREASE IN INCOME TAX,
SALES TAX; TO BE LEVIED
ON ULTIMATE CONSUMER,
By T. B. WINDROSS
EDMONTON, Alta. — This week
the big event of the legislature took
place Monday, when Hon. Charles
Cockroft, provincial treasurer, pre-
sented his budget to the House in
a speech which had many notable
features. The budget is remarkable
in that for the first time for some
years the provincial treasurer has
budgeted for a surplus, stated in the
estimates as $84,222, after trans-
ferring from capital account to in-
come account expenditures for direct
relief, estimated at $1,497,666, and
the provision of $713,453 for the
sinking fund.
Mr. Cockroft explained that it was
considered the income account was
the proper place for the above items
and’ not capital account.
An interesting and important fea-
ture of the budget is its provision
for the care by the government of
free treatment for all tuberculous
patients in the province in the inter-
ests of the health of the citizens,
and for expenditure of $100,000 to
provide additional accommodation
for these patients in the already
established hospitals. .
Municipalities will also be inter-
ested in the plan to carry 25 per
cent of the 50 per cent of relief
costs now borne by the cities, thus
reducing their burden from 50 to
25 per cent.
New taxation is provided for in
an increase in the income tax to
bring it into line with other prov-
inces. This is estimated to yield an
increase in revenue. The estimated
revenue from this tax is $1,200,000
as compared with $650,000 last year.
A sales tax will be levied on the
ultimate purchasers of commodities
from which the gross revenue is
estimated at $2,000,000. A social ser-
vice tax is to replace the supplemen-
tary revenues tax, with an added
estimated revenue of $323,000, or a
total of $1,223,000.
An increased subsidy payment
from the Dominion of $243,900 is
based on the increase of the popu-
lation to over 800,000 expected to be
shown in the quinquennial census to
be taken this year; and an estimated
increase in revenue of $300,000 from
the Liquor Board taking over the
distribution of beer, and also from

Return Of Glacial Age
Sees Possibility If Mean Annual
‘ Temperature Should Drop
Probably somewhat influenced in
his outlook by the fact the mercury
had dropped in Saskatoon to low
depths, Dr. J. B. Mawdsley, of the
University of Saskatchewan, and re-
cently elected fellow of the Geogra-
phical Society of America, in an ad-
dress before the Saskatoon Archae-
ological Society, stated that if the
mean annual temperature of North
America fell nine degrees the glacial
ages which covered this continent
with ice thousands of feet thick
would return. An increase in pre-
cipitation could have the same effect,
Dr. Mawdsley declared.
Dr. Mawdsley said the coming of
man to North America probably

gomery, director of the Ontario Hos-
pital of Whitby, said that 50 per
cent. of those suffering from mental
disease are victims of the excessive
stréss the modern civilization en-
tails,
When we consider that- about 2,000
new patients are admitted to On-
tario mental hospitals every year
and that many more are left to be
cared for at home, we must realize
that this is a-serious situation. Ad-
mitting that we are living in an age
when things unknown comparatively
few years ago are now Almost con-
sidered necessities, still we must ask
whether the advance has been tworth
what it is costing. When we think
of at least 1,000 a year brought down
mentally by the stress and strain of
present-day life, we are forced to
conclude that we are paying too
dearly for our advantages.
Contrast conditions of, say, 50
years ago with those of the present.
The telephone was a novelty—more
of a plaything than the indispensable
article it is considered both in office
and home—we had no motor cars,
no aeroplanes, no radio, no electric
lights, no oil-burning furnaces. If
anyone wanted to go places he used
a horse or took the train—and there
were no stream-lined, 70-mile-an-
hour trains. Thirty was a good aver-
age speed. |
Now everything is labor-saving
and speed. No longer is anyone con-
tent to wait while a correspondent in
Vancouver or London, England, an-
swers a letter—he is called on the
telephone. By air. San Francisco is
no farther away from Owen Sound
now than Montreal was by train a
few years ago. It’s all speed—speed
—and more speed.
The whole trouble is that our nerv-
ous systems have not kept pace with
the advancement of science. We are
not built to travel at the rate we
must, if we are to keep up with the
times. And we must for competition
has increased, the tempo of business
and social life has been speeded up;
and, between the strain of trying to
force a 10-mile-an-hour body to
travel 60 or 70 and worry over in-
ability to do the impossible, it is no
wonder that mindg give way.
Is the game worth the candle?
Manifestly not; but—There is al-
ways that “but”. What to do about
it? Nobody knows. It is all very
well to tell people to take it easy;
but how many will?
Still, it is something that de-
serves serious thought. The whole
fate of the country depends on de-
vising some way to make people go
a little slower and thereby stop the
increase of mental disease at. the
rate of 2,000 a year in Ontario alone.

Public Liked New Pens
——a,
Idea Tried By British Post Office Did
Not Work
Pen pilfering is to be stopped in
Great Britain’s post offices. In an
effort to end the jokes so long as-
sociated with post office pens, Great
Britain’s General Post Office recent-
ly issued experimentally, to selected
branches throughout the country,
10,000 de luxe pens of a new model,
gracefully shaped, colored a vivid
red and emblazoned with the initials,
“G.P.0.” How well the public took
to the pens was indicated by the
revelation in the G.P.O. report, that
at first their average “life,” before
they were stolen, was four weeks at
London, three weeks at Glasgow and
a fortnight at Edinburgh. At New-
castle-on-Tyne the pens lasted some-
what longer, because there they
were chained, but one thief took both
chain and pen.

been for years the inseparable com-
panion of King George on his walks
along the Norfolk lanes. When he
went out on shooting parties, she
went, too, and her royal master be-
came so proud of her that he boast-
ed to his friends that she was “a
dog that never blundered.” When
His late Majesty's body was remov-
ed from Sandringham, Susan fell ill.
Veterinarians could do nothing for
her. And so she followed her mae-
ter.

for the important
which the new Cunard
syperliner “Queen Mary” will be sub-
Jected before she leaves the basin
John Brown's shipyard, Clydebank,
Scotland.
The rigid task of inspection, under
the joint supervision of company and
shipyard experts, is expected to oc-
cupy severdl weeks, although ~ pre-
liminary sutveys Nave already been
carried out. The four 385-ton pro-
pellers have’ already been temporar-
ily disconnected from their 227 foot
long shaftings, and furnaces and
boilers lighted, but every particle of
the ship’s machinery will undergo
minute and severe tests in the yards
before the actual speed trials, which
will take place Keyond the Heads of
Arran, in the Firth of Clyde.
Prior to proceeding on her speed
trials the “Queen Mary” will leave
Clydebank about March 24 next and
Proceed to Southampton where she
will enter the new Southampton dry-
dock to be prepared for the trials
some weeks later.
The speed trials of the “Queen
Mary” will be conducted with the
utmost secrecy. Nét a single soul
of the 560 carried aboard, except Sir
Edgar Britten, the commander, will
know just when the tests have actu-
ally begun or ended.
During the speed trials messages
will be exchanged between the com-
mander and the engine room in code
instead of by telephone, giving de-
tails of the vessel’s speed and be-
havior. These messages will be re-
corded in cipher on perforated tape,
similar to quotations on a_ stock
ticker. ‘
For fear that the superliner may
swamp yachts and houses on shore
during these special manoeuvres, the
speed trials of the “Queen Mary”
will be carried out beyond the Heads
of Arran in the Firth of the Clyde
instead of over the usual measured
mile at Skelmorlie, off the Ayrshire
coast, or in Wemyss Bay. The
“Queen Mary” will speed over her
trial course 25 times, anchoring at
night off the Tail of the Bank. Later,
on leaving the Clyde, three further
tests will be carried out. Stern
tests to ascertain the ship’s speed
while going hard astern will be made
off Land’s End when sailing to
Southampton. Manoeuvring trials
will then be carried out to find the
area. required and the time the liner
will take to turn completely around.
Later there will be consumption
trials in the Atlantie¢ to discover the

The Utmost In Efficiency
Firm In Moravia Has Great Idea To
Save Time
Heads of a concern in Zlin, Mor-
avia, and their secretaries are to
have their “office” in an elevator.
Their office will be nearly 20 feet
square, and the touch of a button
will be enough to send it to which-
ever floor of the tall building it may
be needed. There the doors will be
opened, and the elevator will remain
until all the required business has
been transacted. Then the staff will
resume their “travels.” The amount
of time saved by taking the fully-
equipped office to where it is wanted,
instead of having to take everything
to each office, is estimated to be
great.
May Not Depict Victoria
English Producer Was Fined For
Showing Late Queen
Queen Victoria may not appear as
a character on the stage or in a
movie in England. The ban was re-
affirmed in the police court at Bath
when Mistress Consuelo de Reyes
King was fined $50 and $30 costs for
presenting a play, “Vickie, The
Widowhood of a Queen”, at a local
theatre.
Both in the George Arliss film,
“Disraeli” and in the popular stage
comedy of Victorian times, ‘‘Mari-
gold’, as presented in England, the
Queen's presence was indicated by
bowing courtiers—and nothing more.

Senate To Co-operate
Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen Says Both
Parties Will Work For The
Good Of Canada
Conservative members of the sen-
ate, now in a majority in the upper
house, will not employ their num-
bers to the embarrassment of the
governmental minority, but will co-
operate sincerely, diligently and
without prejudice“in reviewing legis-
lation. This was the assurance given
to Senator Raoul Dandurand, gov-
ernment house leader, by Rt. Hon.
Arthu: ghen, Conservative leader,
in senate.
In the past five years the Liberal
senators had worked earnestly and
helpfully with their Conservative col-
leagues. The latter were now in a
position where they could recipro-
cate and Senator Meighen assured
Senator Dandurand that this assist-
ance would be forthcoming.
He believed all members of the
upper house appreciated the neces-
sity of co-operating for the good of
Canada and was confident the sen-
ate’s deliberations would redound to
the credit of parliament and the
country.
Mr. Meighen’s observations came
at the close of a brief speech he de-
livered in the debate on the address
in reply to the speech from the
throne.
Famous Canal For Sale

The Royal Military -Canal, which
was to have stopped Napoleon, has
been put up for sale in Ashford,
England. The once important water-
way consists of eight and one-
quarter miles of canal, six bridges
and station houses, and land on each
side. It stretches’ from Shorncliffe
to Rye, and its main purpose was to
fiood Romney Marshes and hold up
an invading French army. But the
canal was never put to its intended
use, and several years ago the Bri-
tish War Office sold seven miles of
it. Recently it has been the peace-
ful haunt of anglers, and its banks
are offered as grazing land.

" Will Aid Night Flying
New Invention Will Enable Pilots To
* Find Way In The Dark
British government experts are
working on a “magic bottle” which
will enable aviators to see where
they are even when they are flying
in dense fog or complete darkness,
it was learned in London.
A radio direction finder in an air-
plane will pitk up two broadcasting
stations and by orientation determine
a plane’s position. In front of the
pilot will be the ‘magic bottle’—a
cathode ray tube such as fs used in
television. Over the tube the pilot
will fit a transparent map of the
district over which he is fiying.
Through the map will show a pin-
point of light on a fluorescent screen
on the base of the tube. The light
will be controlled by the direction
finder. .As the plane flies the light
will follow its course over the map
and the pilot will know where his
plane is.

nobility and is illustrated by the
famous Paul Kane. Menton accepted
an offer of $1,600 for the work.

“FLEMING’S
FOLLY

SYNOPSIS
The story opens with Link Flem-
ing addressing a meeting of Boone
County cattlemen, called together
with the object of forming an irriga-
tion company.
Roper Kilgo, the boss of the Raw-
hide and nearby ranges, who seemed
to approve the plan, but was really
Opposed to it, had forced Soak Tor-
ney, a derelict mining engineer, whom
Kilgo knew would be éalled upon to
give his expert opinion in favor of the
scheme, to reverse his earlier endorse-
ment, and declare that irrigation in
Boone county so far as Fleming's
plan: was concerned was only a new-
fangled way to waste money.
- The meeting terminates, but Buzz
Hamilton and his sister, Helen, Link
and Kilgo stay behind and Helen asks
Fleming questions about his irriga-
tion plan. This angers Buzz, who
accuses Fleming of trying to influ-
ence his sister and, as he asserts, ruin
his “spread”. Buzz shoots at Flem-
ing in, an uncontrollable fit of anger,
but Buster Townsend, Link's foreman,
is shot in the stomach, and Fleming
is uninjured. Buzz is arrested and
sentenced to three years’ imprison-
ment.
‘Helen and Fleming form a partner-
ship to provide irrigation for their
own properties.
__ Fleming goes home and studies the
plans drawn by Torney to learn
whether they could be adapted to a
smaller scheme suitable for his and
Helen's land, and is satisfied it could
be done. Feeling cold, he lights the
fire and there is an explosion that
wrecks the house, burns it and the
Plans and renders Link unconscious.
He is rescued from the blaze by an
employee.
(Now Go On With The Story)
CHAPTER VII.—Continued
They turned to see a short man in
a fur-collared overcoat pausing in
the doorway. At recognition that
she was a girl he quickly doffed his
derby hat. The man was apple-fated
with a long pointed nose and a sharp
chin. He bowed gravely and came
forward.
“You're Mr. Fleming, I guess?
My name’s G. I. V. Berrens. Travel-
ling representative of the Western
Improvement Company of Denver.
I—er, heard about a project. Mr.
Fleming is interested in, and decided
to come out to speak to him. I
must have been on the way when
this—er, regrettable incident oc-
curred.” He stood beside the re-
cumbent rancher. “Mighty sorry,
mighty sorry,” he stated in a low,
peculiarly husky voice. “Mighty
sorry indeed.”
Link could not recall having seen
the man before. Berrens drew up a
stool and offered it to Helen. Then
tossing his derby on the stand where
the oil lamp was, he thrust back the
long overcoat, apparently joining his
fat little hands behind him. Rocking
back and forth, heel-and-toe, he
smiled again and shook his head.
“Er—I am not selling anything
but ideas, possibly—one might say
ideas, Mr. Fleming. So don't worry
about that. Fact is, in your—ah,
unfortunate condition of the moment
you may, perchance be particularly
amenable to my proposition.” .
Link's glance showed plain long-
ing for the fellow to be gone. It
had no visible effect on Mr. Berrens,
however. Nodding and smiling from
one to the other of them, and back
again, he continued what sounded
like a prepared speech.
“You are, I believe,
irrigation?”
“I reckon so.”
“Right! At the Trailend Hotel in
Rawhide I chanced to fall into con-
versation with one or two towns-
people. Mr. Otto Pieper, president
of the bank, for one. Ah—I gather
that you‘and this young lady have
discussed some irrigation project in
common — together — which, one
might say, is not thought highly of
by other ranchers?”
“That's true, Mr. Berrens.”
The fussy little man exhibited a
row of gold teeth. “Sir, the company
I represent, the Western Improve-
ment Company, is a powerful, well-
financed concern. We are, as &@ mat-
ter of fact, interested in securing a
small, interesting place where we
can experiment. I am not trying to
sell you anything, sir, except pos-
sibly an idea.”
“Don't think I can afford even an
interested in
idea now, Mr. Berrens. My ranch
house—”
“Exactly!” Mr. Berrens beamed.
His gold teeth gleamed. “This car-
bonizing of your ranch house is, I
as$ume, a severe blow to a man of
your apparent financial standing.
Nothing saved, eh? Mr. Fleming,
you are a sick man, sir. Tchk! That

“A gentleman named Soak Torney

one at the same time tried to kill
you. This—er, fire seems to be of
incendiary origin, do you think? At

| least, some misereant seems to have

“What I am getting at,’ he end-
ed with dramatic suddenness and
appropriate gestures, “is this: my
company will purchase your ranch,
sir. We don’t want it for the cat-
tle. We want it because Silver
Creek provides an interesting op-
portunity to try irrigation and to
study the results.”
“But we intend—” Helen began.
“With men trying to kill you at
every turn? Mr. Fleming, why not
accept a fair price and the
country ?”

The bunkhouse became silent save,
for the muffled talk outside and the
impatient stamp of horses’ hoofs.
Link scowled as he looked from Ber-
rens to the girl, then into space. Dis-
couragement welled in him at real-
ization that all\Boone County want-
ed to see the irrigation scheme fail
—actually hoped it would fail. Some-
one wanted it to the extent of at-
tempting to kill him. The loss of
the plans, the destruction of his
ranch house—all this was warning
enough. Could a man succeed in the
face ef such odds?
Thought of surrender was not a
pleasing. one. Link Fleming could
not recall when he had surrendered
before.
Nevertheless there was a differ-
ence. between being. courageous and
foolhardy. He could sell out and go
elsewhere, easily enough.
He gazed thoughtfully at Helen
Hamilton, seated nearby, her grace-
ful profile turned his way. Perhaps
he would do her a service to scotch
this scheme here and now. To per-

“How about seventeen

- ‘Will Erect Monument
Statt Fund For Memorial in Mont-
real To Sir Arthur Currie
Subscriptions from all branches of
the Canadian Legion will be accept-
ed toward erection of a monument in
Mount Royal cemetery in Montreal
over the grave of Sir Arthut Currie,
corps in France, it was “annbunced.
Presiding ovér a meeting: of the
new Sir Arthur Currie branch, Cana-
dian Legion, at which Brig.-Gen.
Alex Ross of Yorkton, Sask., was
principal speaker, Mr. Justite C. G.
Mackinnon. stated plans for the
monument were under way and had
been approved by Lady Currie.
It was erroneous, Gen. Ross said,
to think of the legion as entirely a
“pension-getting” ‘organization. A
portion of its efforts was devoted to
pension matters but there was much
more than that. Poppy Day was
more than a money-making affair.
“We regard it as asacred thing.” The
legion undertook to be responsible
for celebration of Armistice Day
“which brings the whole country into
one great family.”
“Unemployment has laid its heavy
hands upon the ex-serviceman to a
far greater degree than ever before,”
Gen. Ross said. “As ex-servicemen
who feel some responsibility to those
who served with us we cannot lightly
leave the unemployed to charity to
eke out a miserable existence to the
end of their days . . that is why
we have been so persistent in mobil-
izing to even greater efforts.”
Advertising Must Be Creative
People Have To Be Convinced They
Want Things
W. B. Keightley, speaking in Tor-
onto before the annual meeting of
the Canadian Chamber of Commerce
on “How Advertising Can Develop
Employment,” said only, “creative
advertising’’ could have any stimu-
lating effect to increase the ratio of
employment.
As an example of the bearing of
advertising on the prosperity of a
country as a whole, he said, those
countries most given to the advertis-
ing of products and services are the
countries in which standards of liv-
ing are the highest and in which
there is steady progress in the use
of modern devices.
An advertising campaign in the
automotive industry was cited by
Mr. Keightley ‘as one of the recent
campaigns which increased employ-
ment. He said in spite of large in-
vestment losses, fewer people at
work, and lowered earnings a very
large number of the people do pos-
sess means of gratifying their de-
sires, but fearsand lack of confidence
have caused them to reduce their
normal spending.
“People must first be made _ to
want things,” he said.
Meteors Fall Frequently
| .
| But They Are Small Ones Seen Only
With Telescope
Only once in 3800 years does a
meteor weighing 35 tons strike the
earth; exploding meteors fall once
every two months within a circle of
| 300 miles radius and meteors weigh-
ing about half a pound and giving a
light equal to that of the full moon
fall at the rate of about 130 a year
within an area of this size. These
figures were worked out by Dr. C.
C. Wylie of the University of Iowa.
He estimates that the number of
meteors equal in brightness to a first
magnitude star is 800,000 a day for
the world, and that the less bril-
liant ones observable with the naked
eye is 24,000,000 a day. The smal-
ler ones, seen only with telescopes,
total millions of millions a day. Al-
though the amount of material
brought to the earth in this way is
large it would, nevertheless, amount
to a layer only one inch deep over
the whole surface of the earth if
accumulated during the whole age
of the earth, according to Dr. Wylie’s
estimates. — St. Thomas Times-

Fire-Retarding Wood .
Chemically Treated With Compound
Wood Will Not Burn
Coinciding with the statement of
nited States builders and insurance
men that the United States fire
losses for 1935 amounted to 10,000
human lives and cost §$245,000,090,
comes a report from the Nations]
Board of Fire Underwriters contain-
ing an assurance that there is such
a thing as fire-retardant wood.
The wood tested by the Board
was red oak and maple which had
“been thoroughly and uniformly im-
pregnated in pressure tanks contain-
ing ammonium salts,°a fireproofing
compound which,, it is not perhaps
generally known, has actually been
procurable in Canada for at least
two years. The treated wood is al-
most the same in appearance as
ordinary wood but is a little heavier
because of the salt content. It is
easily tooled and takes varnish well.
The investigators of the Board
tested the -treated wood under con-
ditions that sent untreated walls and
floors roaring up in flames while the
treated wood did not burn at all but
after a long period of exposure to
the fierce heat was deeply charred.
Not once, however, did the treated
wood flame or aid the spread of
combustion. The National Board of
Fire Underwriters’ final verdict wags
that the wood was non*inflammable.

Little Helps For This Week
The things which are impossible

Luke 18:27. :
Unless the Lord had been my help
my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
Psalm 94:17.
When obstacles and trials seem
Like prison walls to be,
IL do the little I can do
And leav; the rest to Thee.
There are seasons when to be
still demands immeasurably higher
strength than to act. Composure is
often the highest result of power.
Think you it demands no power to
calm the stormy elements of passion
to throw off the load ,of dejection,
to suppress every repining thought
when the dearest hopes are withered,
and to turn the wounded spirit from
dangerous. thoughts and wasting
grief to the quiet discharge of ordi-
nary duties. Is there no power put
forth when a man, stripped of his
property and of the fruits of a life’s
labors, quells discontent and gloomy
forebodings, and serenely and |
patiently returns to the tasks which
Providence assigns? The mind never}
puts forth greater power over itself
than when it yields its interests to
God.

During the interval Major C. H.
Douglas has continued to hold a
central place in the speculative in-
terest of the public. When he heard
ef the statement: made in the House
that he had been paid a sum exceed-
ing $6400 by the Alberta government
for his services in 1934-35, he
promptly denied he had .received
any such sum, and later examina-
tion of the province's accounts
showed he was t to the extent
of $300 and a ii more.
Then the Londén founder of Social
Credit astonished the public, and
evidently surprised ndbelly more
than Premier Aberhart, by stating
in an interview in London to a Cana-
dian journalikt that he was not en-
gaged by the Alberta government
“to prepare a plan of Social Credit
for Alberta,”
He insisted that m6 such contract
is mentioned in the agreement or
correspondence between himself and
the provincial government, Comment
on this situation Would be useless. as
there is no way of checking up on
the major’s statement and there has
been so much misrépresentation in
connection with the © situation be-
tween the London exponent of Social
Credit and Premier Aberhart in the
press that it will be wiser to hold
comment until more is known.
Certainly Premier Aberhart ex-
pects Major Douglas to help in pro-
viding a plan of Social Credit for
the province and he has been await-
ing his arrival here for the purpose
of consulting him on the Social
Credit legislation. Premier Aber-
hart says he cannot understand
Major Douglas’ statement. But it
should be clear that “reconstruction

ing Social Credit adviser, whatever
the Major or the newspapers say
about it.

all bills to be introduced by the
government will be before the mem-
bers for first reading at least—it is
the Social Credit enabling bill, which
was delayed in its journey to the
assembly by the holiday last week.
What treatment it will receive is of
interest, but it may be affirmed that
in the long run, whatever the oppo-
sition, it will be given third reading
and passed into law
The recall measure will also be
made law following its regular
course through the legislature. The
education bill is said not to be as
ready for presentation as the other
two important bills. It is being given
minor changes to meet suggestions
by Social Credit members and _ to
meet some objections voiced by its
opponents as much as is consistent
with its purpose. The main prin-
ciple will ve unchanged, it is learned.
Premier Aberhart has met with
a difficulty in connection with his
Sunday night broadcast of the
addresses at the Edmonton Bib!
Conference. Complaints received by
radio fans at the substitution of the
conference broadcast for some regu-
lar Sunday night musical programs
and the Canadian Press news bul-
letins’ delay have caused the Radio
Commission to notify the Prethier
that his broadt¢ast cannot be given
over CICA at that hour after
March 8.
There is a feeling in-the mind of
the Premier and other members of
the government that politics enter
into the ban to some extent, but
whether this is or isnot so is hard
to say. In any case the Bible Con-
ference will have to be broadcast
over another station if it is to be

heard between 8:00 and 9:30 o'clock
Sunday evenings. What arrange-
ments are to be made the Premier
will himself announce over the air.

What’s Wrong With Radio?
What is wrong with the Canadian Railio Commission and its programs?
There is abundant evidence that the governing body of radio broadcast-
ing in this country is not filling the bill to the taste of Western Canadian
radio fans. Discontent is heard on all hands when the subject is under dis-
cussion among users of radio in the three. prairie provinces and press
comentators, even those inclined to be more merciful to the authorities, are
constantly poking the commission.
Disstisfdaction is not ‘so rife in Eastern Canada, because, it is said,
the residents of that half of the Dominion, who do not like C.R.C. commis-
sion programs coming over the air at the moment, can, with an easy twist
of the wrist, turn to something more to their taste and bring in a wide
selection from the best Eastern stations on the other side of the interna-
tional boundary without interference from loca) stations.
In Western Canada radio fans are largely precluded from this consola-
tion, due to the fact that the distribution of wave lengths in the west is
such. as to inevitably shut out reception from the more popular accessible
Stations on the American ‘side of the line and particularly at those hours
when radio is in most constant use, except for those few who are able to
afford the- most up-to-date models.
Unfortunately. due to stringency resulting from a combined agricul-
tural. depression and world wide economic disaster of the past few years
the great majority of citizens of the prairie provinces have been, and still
are, forced to take their wireless entertainment frorfi more or less anti-
quated receiving sets. Money is still too scarce to enable them to purchase
the most modern sets, equipped with the latest refinements and they are
Unable, for the-present at least, to tune in to stations on the other side of
the line in close wave length to the local stations.
This is undoubtedly one of the causes of the prevailing dissatisfaction
and is one which should be recognized and, if possible, rectified by the com-
mission. .
Another oft-heard complaint is that in the choice of its chain pro-
grams the Commission devotes too much time to highly classical music and
too little to the type of entertainment which the greater majority of West-
@rn Canadians would sooner hear. In other words, it is stated that the
Programs are not well balanced. This great majority would prefer to hear
@ little more of the “jolly rollicking barn dance” type of music and more
entertainment of a humorous variety than the Commission appears able or
willing to provide, but at the same time they want this entertainment furn-
ished by what may be termed “top notchers” and not by mediocre amateurs.
It is true, perhaps, that the Commission has dimly perceived its short-
comings in this respect and has made some effort more recently to cater
to popular gemand but in doing so has relied to a considerable extent on
local talent of not very high rating, possibly due to a desire to placate local
jealousies. In this connection it might be suggested that the commission
might very well make more use of local commercial stations as an elim-
ination school and select only those best qualified té appear on their chain
programs with some provision for adequdte remuneration.
It is generally conceded, too, that one of the factors responsible for
the commission's seeming inability to cater to western requirements is the
fact that too much of the revenue derived from radio license feea finds its
way into the Dominion government’s treasury and too little of it is allotted
to the commission for its work. If the commission were allowed a greater
proportion of this income it is possible that they might be able to find or
develop sufficient talent to eliminate some of the criticisms to which it is
. Then, too, the commission has been subjected to criticism from time to
time for lack of initiative. A case in point is its decision not to make a
Blattnerphone recording of the funeral services of the late King George. for
reproduction at an hour when the great majority of Western radio listeners
could icipate. _
It is admitted that the problem is one which bristles with difficulties
and that the commission has no easy task to perform if it should attempt
to satisfy everybody, but one instinctively feels that it has not succeeded
@s yet in going as far in this direction as it might.
There is some talk just now of a new commission being set up con-
sisting of only one paid member, the chairman, and an unsalaried advisory
board. Whether such a change would result in a greater measure of satis-
faction would depend largely on the personnel. The membership, if such
a board is created, should certainly include one or more who are conversant
with the western situation and it is essential that at least one or more of
the members know something about showmanship as well as the technical
side of radio.

Explorer Proves Neolithic
Fished In Sahara Desert
Fishing in the Sahara was once &
favourite pastime of man. This dis-
covery was made by Henri Lhote, a
Frenchman, who unearthed the first
skeletons of neolithic man found in
Man
Africa. These men lived 10,000
years ago, he said, when swift
streams, now dried up, once ran
through a fertile Sahara plain. The
young explorer, who passed two
years digging in prehistoric dump-
heaps in the southeastern part of the
desert, analysed the bone structure
of the old-time fisher, who belonged
to the Negro race. Vertebrae of
fresh water fish as well as harpoon
heads made from bone, showed a
dried-up river bed was nearby. This
surmise was later proved correct.

nation be allowed whenever it has,

“Invsible Virus
Scientist Explains How This
Elusive Cause Of Common Colds
The long elusive cause of the com-
mon cold has been kept bottled up
successfully for 20 months in a test
tube at Columbia University:
Dr. Raymond Dochez, professor of
medicine at Columbi& University
school of medicine, announced that
this long period of artificial cultiva-
tion, completely away from the hu-
man body, makes it certain that the
cause is an invisible virus.
In the Columbia tube there are no
bacteria or other forms of infection
visible. But in all the 20 months its
liquid contents. have retained the
power to give a human being, or a
chimpanzee, a violent cold. In all
that time the invisible cause has
lived and reproduced itself on chick-
en embryo for food.
This work of Dr. Dochez is in line
with other medical. experiments
pointing to the same common cold
cause, and to a double “complex” as
the mechanism of human colds.
In this double complex the in-
visible virus is the basic cause. Its
function is to weaken the respiratory
organs. Thus weakened, the organs
are attacked by common, visible bac-
teria, which bring the complications
familiar to cold sufferers.
“Until very recently,” Pr. Dochez
said, speaking at an alumni day
meeting, “the true causes of com-
mon cold and influenza were un-
known. For many years it was be-
lieved that the ordinary bacteria
found so frequently in the mouth
were the cause.
“Doubt has recently been cast
upon this belief and recent studies
seem to prove that colds are caused
by what.is known as a filterable
virus, an infinitely small body which
passes through the pores of the fin-
est porcelain filters and is some-
where in the borderland between
living and non-living matter.”
Praise For King Edward:
Is. Fully Equipped For Task Says
Carol Of Rumania
A brighter outlook! for the peace
of Europe as a result of the acces-
sion to the British throne of King
Edward VIII., was forecast by Carol
II., King of Rumania, in an inter-
view at Paris.
Carol was unstinted in his praise
of the youthful King Emperor—his
distant cousin. He drew an enthysi-
astic portrait of the late King
George V. and then, describing the
new ruler of the British Empire,
said:
“King Edward has_ formed _re-
markapble powers of judgment and
strength of character as result of
his numerous voyages throughout
the world and the British Empire.
He has mixed with all kinds of peo-
ple and has learned how to deal with
all kinds of situations.
“He is fully equipped for his task
as the head of a great empire. His
experience, I am _ confident, will
prove unusually valuable in his re-
lations with all men and all coun-
sor, Ontario,
research chemist, reports the success;
ful construction of test stretches of
“salt highways” at more than 12
Ontario points. Over 200 miles of
these roads have been built to date
in the United States.
In his interview, Mr. Rowat em-
phasized the fact that the develop-
ment was still in the experimental
stage. The aim is to produce a hard,
durable and dustless road surface,
using cheap materials readily avail-
able locally in most sections of the}
Dominion. Highway engineers refer
to it as a “salt-stabilized road” and
the material because of ite ‘appear-
ance and wearing qualities is some-
times known as soil concrete. The
ingredients of a salt highway are
gravel or crushed stone, clay and
common salt, the last named in com-
paratively small quantities..He men-
tioned a test stretch in Ontario
where 15 tons of salt per mile was
sufficient for a successful road sur-
face three inches thick and 20 feet
wide.
The important factors in a salt-
stabilized road, Mr. Rowat indicated,
were the coarse aggregates, (gravel
or crushed stone) and the securing
of proper proportions of the three
ingredients. These proportions would
be governed to a large degree by the
quality and size of the gravel and
would not only vary from district to
district but might easily change in
different sections of any one road
being treated. Generally speaking,
specifications could be drawn up to
provide for the use of coarse aggre-
gates and clay available locally in a
given locality.- The proportions of
the mixture and the method of ap-
plication were established by careful
laboratory tests of the materials in
advance-and during construction.
In Ontario, there are now test
stretches of salt highways on 2
number of heavily-travelled routes
including provincial roads near Tor-
onto and the highway route to Mus-
koka Lakes resorts. Credit for the,
original discovery is given, in large
measure, to a Canadian engineer, A.
‘R. Chambers of New Glasgow, N.S.
Seeking a solution to the dust nui-
sance, he remembered that the
ceramic industry used salt with clay |
to improve its drying qualities, ap- |
plied the same principle to a section
of Nova Scotia road and produced
the first stretch, on this continent at
least, stabilized with salt.

Transport Station 70 Miles With
Only Four Hours Interruption
Of Sé@rvice
The record-breaking feat of trans-
porting an entire radio broadcasting
station a distance of 70 miles in
slightly under four hours’ time “off
the air’ was -reported to Edmonton
headquarters of the Canadian Air-
ways, Limited.
The job was completed by Pilot
Archie McMullen and Ronald In-
grey, operator of the Canadian Air-
ways commercial station at Fort
Rae. The entire equipment was
transplanted to the permanent camp
of Major L. T. Burwash’s mining
properties at Yellowknife river,
north shore of Great Slave lake.
For the past three years, Mr. In-
grey has kept the Fort Rae station
in operation without a break. It is
& 250-watt station and the movers
battled 40 and 50-below-zero weather
in making the switch.

To Conserve Wild Life
Seven-Point Programme Presented
To Washington Conference
A seven-point programme for wild
life conservation was presented to
the North American wild-life confer-
ence, at Washington, by Ira Gabriel-
son, chief of the bureau of biological
survey.
Officials of the general wild-life
federation, formed by the confer-
ence, said the Gabrielson programme
would be used as a basis for its
efforts to build up the game popula-
tion. ss .
The objectives were:
1. More land for the restoration
and’ use of wild life.
2. Closer federal and state co-
operation.
3. Recognition of wild life values
in land planning. :
4. Cessation of stream pollution.
5. More research into wild life
problems.
6. Closer co-ordination of federal
land administrative agencies.
7. Basic protective legislation.
T. R. L. MacInnes, of the Cana-
dian department of Indian affairs,
told what Canada was doing for the
hunting Indians. He said 50 per
cent or about 50,000 of the Canadian
Indian population were dependent in
whole or in part on hunting and fish-
ing for a livelihood.
MaclInnes said white trappers were
encroaching on the hunting grounds
in the northern part of the provinces
formerly used only by Indians. He
said hunting preserves had been set
aside especially for Indians, and ex-
plained how the Indian problem of
fishing and hunting had _ been
handled by the various provinces.

Lord Tweedsmuir Suggests Way
War Could Be Avoided
The surest way to “hang the
trumpet on the wall” and avoid war,
in the opinion of Lord Tweedsmuir,
is to have the people understand
what war really means “by taking
a practical interest in it.” Only in
that way, the governor-general told
the annual meeting of the Canadian
Artillery Association at Ottawa,
“will they recognize what: an ex-
ceedingly desperate business it is
and how foolish to enter upon it
lightly.”

As Objective Universal
Pasteurization Of Milk
One of the most outstanding pieces
of promotion work ever attempted
by a single individual in the develop-
ment of national welfafe in this
country, has just been completed by
Sir James Woods, president of the
Gordon, MacKay, Company of Tor-
onto, Sir Jarfies“has - written 7,500
personal letters to professional and
business associates urging their sup-
port to the newly formed Health
Leagie of Canada in its efforts to
cafry forward a general campaign
for health in Canada,
The Health League, which is to
assume some of the Dominion-wide
activities of the Social. Hygiene
Council, will have as one of its
“most important objectives, the uni
versal pasteurization of milk”, Sir
James stated in that letter. In ad-
dition to the letter which emphasized
his own personal feelings and con-
victions on the health problem, Sir
James forwarded to each person, 4&
copy of an address by Dr. Gordon
Bates, general director of the Health
League of Canada, given before the
Ontario: Milk Distributors’ Associa-
tion. Urging. that each pay special
attention to the facts contained in
that address Sir James concluded:
“Unfortunately, a very large pro-
tion of our milk supply in Canada is
still unpasteurized, with the result
that the best of our foods—milk—
carries with it disease and death.”
As an illustration of the difficultiés
faced by local health authorities and
the apathy, or very often prejudice,
of community leaders in matters of
community importance, Dr, Gordon
Bates, nationally known public
health authority and general director
of the Health League of Canada, re-
lates the following story. For ob-
vious reasons the names must be
omitted — though Ontario, is the
actual location. ;
“This village is beautifully situat-
ed and is a mecca for thousands of
summer visitors. The milk for this
popular resort is supplied by seven
dairies of which one only supplies
pasteurized milk. As a result it is
patronized by a great majority of
the visiting city folk—all of whom
presumably believe in pasteurized
milk. :
“But alas a bacteriological check-
up reveals the fact that of all of
the milk in town the so-called pas-
teurized milk makes the worst show-
fing with a count which frequently
runs up over a million.
“The Medical Officer of Health, a}
part-time official paid’ a pittance for
duties so onerous he cannot possibly
perform them, has not visited the
pasteurizing plant for years. The
milk inspector, a somewhat elderly
gentleman, retired from another call-
ing with no training whatever, can
do little to remedy the situation. The
newspaper editor who might do
something to help mould public
opinion happens to be the patient of}:
the doctor. He says the doctor is a
fine fellow but he’s not so good on
prevention.
“Urged to print a series of articles
on pasteurjzation the editor refuses
and the fact comes out that Mr.
Editor does not believe in pasteuriza-
tion. He thinks that much of the
scare of microbes and bacteria is
fanciful.
“Not far from the domicile of this
intelligent editor is a boys’ camp
supported by the generous-hearted
activities of an energetic Service
Club which I shall name. One of the
major activities of the service club
is the support of a Cripple Children’s
Committee which supplies splints
same club supplies raw milk to the
boys in their boys’ camp. One of the
great causes of crippling in children
is, of course, bovine tuberculdsis
carried by raw milk. Comment is
unnecessary.”
Did you know: One epidemic of
typhoid fever in the city of Mont-
real résulted in 5,000 cases, 500
deaths and is estimated to have cost
the province of Quebec $20,000,000—
and that epidemic was traced to
milk. :
Did you know: One epidemic of
septic sore throat in Chicago, IIl.,
accounted for 10,000 cases and was
traced to one single raw milk sup-
ply coming to that city.
Did you know: That ordinary raw
milk is responsible for from 25 per
cent. to 40 per cent. of all diarrhoeal
diseases of children during the hot
summer months.
Did you know: That milk-borne
typhoid and paratyphoid fever, scar-
let fever and septic sore throat had
resulted in 48 epidemics of those
diseases in Canada ‘u 23 years,
causing illness among 7,812 people
and taking 681 lives.
Did you realize: That one quart
(40 fluid ounces) of milk is equal in
food value to one pound of steak
22 cents, 11 eggs averaging a cost
33 cents, 3 pounds of fresh codfish
a cost of 40 cents, 2% pounds
chicken at an average cost of
cents, 1 pound of loin pork at 22
cents or $1.00 worth of oysters?
And that comparison does not in-
clude the essential vitamins A, B, C,
D and E which milk contains.

Reindeer For The Eskimo
Will Supply Plenty Of Food For
Natives Of The Far North
More than 8,000 reindeer, ditiven
by Seattle's Andy Bahr across coun
try from Alaska to the ranges near
the mouth of the Mackenzie river in
western Canadian Arctic, produced
881 young in the first fawning of its
new home.
Last, fall Canadian government,
which owns the herd, ordered 215
steers killed and fed to Eskimo chil-
drén living at the Shingle Point
Anglican school and the Aklavik
Roman Catholic school. Native, pa-
tients of two hospitals got some as
well. All liked the meat. Rt. Rev.
A. L. Fleming, Anglican bishop of
the Arctic, said they commented en-
thusiastically on its taste.
Critics of the reindeer scheme
have contended it would be difficult
if not impossible to make the no-
madic, hunting Eskimo change his
ways and become ae travelling
farmer, but the government held
otherwise.
Officials are pleased over the rein-
deer meat experience at Shingle
Point and@Aklavik. The regular, sup-
ply of wild life food for the Eskimo
will not last forever and they be-
lieve teaching the Eskimo to be a
herder is to a large extent a mat-
ter of capturing his interest.
Apprentice - herders, young men
and boys, are being trained to look
after the large herd. Eventually, it
is hoped, these young men will be
able to take charge of small groups
of animals, move them to other parts
of the Arctic and establish them as
nuclei of other Herds that will guar-
antee a source of food in the future
for the Eskimo.
When Crows Lost Count
Five Marksmen Were Too Many For
Clever Birds
Crows can count in Germany. An
old hunting box was converted into
a shooting range near Berlin, and a
dead hare was laid out on the field
nearby as a bait to passing crows.
The marksmen retired to the shoot-
ing box, and waited. But the crows
were not to be caught. They waited, |
too. It was not until the marksmen
went home that the crows descended
from their hiding places in the trees
and ate up the bait. Next time, two
men with guns went into the shoot-
ing box together. One went out and
laid the bait, and then ostentatiously
went away. But again the crows
were not to be caught. They had
seen two ----- go into the box. They
waited until the second one went
away as well. Then they ate the
bait. The same thing happened when
three men went into the box and two
went away. The crows always wait-
ed for the third man to leave as
well. It was not until five men went
together to the shooting box and
four went away that the crows came
down to the bait and gave the re-
maining marksman a target. The
birds had at last lost count.
Parachute Jumper Had Thrill
Caught On ’Plane And Had To Be
Cut Loose
Attempting his first parachute
jump from a plane which was flying
over the Ukraine, G. Rykalov got a
thrill. According to a Moscow re-
port the parachute became entangled
in the tail of the machine flying sev-
eral thousand feet above the earth.
The pilot mounted higher to free the
dangling Rykalov, but this failed.
THe mechanic then climbed to the
edge of the fuselage and tossed a
knife and hammer to Rykalov so
that he might cut the silken fabrics,
but wind carried the implements out
of Rykalov’s reach. The mechanic
then attached a piece of sharp metal
to a stick, and sawed the parachute
from the plane. After 25 minutes
of anxiety Rykalov was released. He
opened his reserve parachute and
floated to earth none the worse for
his experience.
Canadian Apple Production Up
Apple production in Canada dur-
ing 1935 showed an increase over
1934, due largely to the recovery of
many trees which were slightly
affected with winter injury in 19383-
34. The commercial production of
apples in Canada for the year is
estimated at 4,141,000 barrels com-
pared with 3,891,000 in 1934 and the
five-year average, 1930-34, of 4,063,-
000 barrgis. All provinces with the

production is estimated at 1,800,000

_ THY WESTERN GLOBR, LACOMBE, ALTA. :
Just Division OF Work
coping Maid Not Indication That
Women Have More Leisure
Mrs, Wilbur Fribley, -of Chicago,
president of the Housewives League
of America, took issue with J. P.
Morgan’s definition of the leisure
class as families “who can afford a
maid,” .
“Hmm, ke@ping a maid hasn't
anything to do with leisure—not: in
this modern age,” id Mrs. Fribley
discussing a report of the -banker’s
leisure class theory given at the
Senate Munitions Committee investi-
gation, Men who fake that attitude
—and most men do—date themselves
as thinking of modern housekeeping
(household engineering, she called
it) in terms of the hoopskirt age.
That's what Mr. Morgan is doing.
“Does ‘the woman active in busi-
ness or social sérvice or as a lawyer,
doctor or artist, who employs a
housekeeper n@cessarily belong in the
leisure class? Obviously no more so
than the man office head who em-
ploys a stenographer. The fact a
man has to employ a_ stenographer
and a housewife a maid generally in-
dicates in this modern age only that
they are busy folks.’’ Nor, she con-
tended, is the employment of a maid
or a stenographer necessarily related
to wealth. It is a division of work,
just as the international banker
passes detail on to other people while
he devotes his rticular ability to
finance. The same principle, said
Mrs. Fribley, a staunch advocate of
the idea that “housework is a profes-
sion,” applies to running a house-
hold in the most efficient modern
way. The woman artist is wasting
energy trying to bake a pie when she
isn’t gifted. in that line—‘“and not all
women are born cooks as men
tfink.”
It would be better for art—to say
nothing of the family’s digestion—if
the woman turned the, pie-baking job
over to another who could make
crust that isn’t leathery, while she
painted, Mrs. Fribley said.
Great Drinkers Of Tea
South African Business Men Follow
The English System
A travelling salesman finds South
Africans very hospitable and great
drinkers of tea. “It is quite possible
for a man to represent goods and
yet never touch alcohol. But I defy
anyone to do business there without
drinking tea,” he says. .
“I have had as many as three in-
vitations to tea between 10 and 11
in the morning of a single day.
Eleven is the’ accepted hour, but it
seems to be a movable feast? Then
there is tea again at four. This is
the British influence, which pre-
dominates in business. The Dutch
element on the other hand, which
predominates in farming and the
law, is all for coffee.”

May Build To Limit Of Anglo-Ger-

Havas learhed from reliable
sources that Germany has informed
Great Britain it will build immedi-
ately to the limit of its allotment of
cruisers under the ~Anglo-German
naval accord.
This report was taken to mean
Germany would lay the keels this
year of five 10,000-ton cruisers, the
number allowed under the accord,
which permits the Reich to build to
within .35-per cent. of the «British
cruiser tonnage.

Rootrot diseases may directly or!
indirectly lower the grade of wheat.
These troubles, when severe, may
cause a marked shrivelling of the
wheat kernels. Of greater import-
ance, however, is the tendency for
the maturity of crops suffering from
certain types of rootrot to be de
layed, predisposing them to further
injury from rust, frost, or both.
Moreover, it has been shown by
work conducted at the Dominion
Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Sas-
‘ratoon, that the use of poor

tions. ,
Seed samples containing a_ large
proportion of badly shrunken ker-
nels, but which are otherwise clean
and sound, can be greatly improved
by the use of the fanning mill.

are separated out and, if they pos-

be quite suitable for seed. If, how-

government creating laws to lessen
noise, the people themselves are
petitioning the government for
action.
And the encouraging feature
is that many of those responsib'e for
noise are themselves trying to equip
their motor cars, horses, warons,
steam cr electric drills, factory
whistles and locomotives, radios, with
silencing devices.
The London Ctly Council permits
the costs of silencers on road drills
to be added to the cost of breaking
up the road. Milk distributors are
co-operating by putting rubber tires
on wagons, and rubber shoes on
horses, whilst others are uring trucks
driven by electricity. Railway com-+
panies are taking steps to reduce the
blowing of whistles and deaden the
noise of platform trucks by the use
of rubber linines,
It is not fair to say that noises
always have existed and always will
exist, that nothing can be done about
it, and that no‘se does no harm any-
way. Any thinking individual knows
that the noises of to-day are louder
and more penetrating than at any
previous time in history. He also
knows that the man of to-day is a

local boards, six in British Columbia
and four in Ontario, according to its

Expenses of the board were §8,-

Folk Songs
London Woman Who Collected Songs
From Many Lands
The death in London recently of
| Mrs. Julia Chatterton, recalls to
mind a work in which she was in-
defatigable, that of collecting folk
music in many lands. For years she
roamed abroad, and with the utmost
difficulty, as well as quite frequently
with the gravest danger, she wrote
down the naive warmly-human songs
of the simple people of such coun-
tries as Morocco, Jugoslavia, Egypt,
Greece, Albania, Spain and most of
the more accessible European states.
In her labors she was aided by the
International Folk Song and Folk
Lore Society, which she _ herself
founded.
Her ambition, cut short by an un-
the world. Towards this end, she
had gathered something over a
thousand songs. One hopes that an-
other person, equally indefatigable
in this difficult and not-well-enough-
recognized enterprise, will carry on
from where Mrs. Chatterton left off.
Such a finished volume would have
especial interest for Canada, whose
racial backgrounds find their origin

World. And through an understand-

integrating them into a Canadian
nationality would be greatly assisted.

The Canadian Mint
Thirty Million Dollars In Canadian
Coins Have Been Turned Out
It may surprise many to learn that
more than $30,000,000 in Canadian
coins have been turned out and plac-
ed in circulation by the Canadian
Mint.
The commonest coin is the one-
cent piece, of which more than 299,-
000,000 have been struck. There are
more than 90,000,000 five-cent pieces,
86,000,000 ten-cent pieces, 44,000,000
quarters and 5,000,000 half-dollars
scattered throughout the world.
In April last year, be it noted,
428,120 Canadian silver dollars were
minted, of which 417,760 were issued,
but not many of those are in circu-
lation, most of them being kept as
souvenirs. Another uncommon Cana-
dian coin is the silver twenty-cent
piece. While this bit of Canadian
currency is seldom seen, there are
more than 46,000 of them in circula-
tion.
These statistics about the coins of
Canadian currency in circulation are
interesting; but what many needy
Canadian families are worrying
about at present is how to earn
| them.—- Victoria Times .
Competition In Chemicals
In Germany
Worries British Industry
Increased production of German
chemicals has resulted in keen world
competition, Sir Harry McGowan,
president of Imperial Chemical In-
dustries, told the royal commission
on the arms business in London.
Sir Harry said it would be difficult
to inform the commission regarding
his transactions with
other nations because of possible ob-
the governments in-
volved. He explained further that
publication of imperial chemical
transactions would provide informa-
tion for competition who had been
usually active since Germany
entered the chemical field.
The government's ban on exports
of chlorine affected his company con-
siderably, Sir Harry said. He denied,
however, that Imperial Chemical was
manufacturing poison gas at present.

Mrs. Jennie Freeman, a resident
of Bentley since 1930, passed away
at her home on Friday, Feb. 28, fol-
lowing an illness of but.a few days.
Her death was a great shock to her
family and friends. ~ She was 57.
Jennie Young was born in Owen
Sound, Ont., coming west to Killar-
ney, Man., where she met James
Freeman and they were married
April 30, 1897. Nine years-later they
came to Edmonton, where they re-
sided until settling on a homestead at
Iola, northwest of Rimbey, in 1911,
where they remained for 19 years,
when on account of Mr. Freeman’s
health they came to Bentley. There
are six sons, Alexander (Sandy),
Sam, Bill, Jim, Ernest and Harry,
all of Bentley district, and fom
daughters, Mrs. Hattie Hicklin,
Ponoka; Mrs. Margaret Lohndorf,
Wetaskiwin; Mrs. Mary Brockway,
Cayley, and Mrs. Bessie Chowen of
Bentley. One daughter, Florence,
passed Away in 1929 at the age of
15. There are 22 grandchildren, five
brothers are living and a sister, Mrs.
Baxter, resides at Fort George, B.C.
Of a capable, energetic tempera-
ment, Mrs. Freeman was a hard
worker for any cause to which she
lent her aid and held the respect
of all who knew her. It was a queer
coincidence that her death followed
so closely that of her friend and
near neighbor, Mrs. Louisa Hankins,
of whom mention was made last
week. Both ladies were near the
same age and often accompanied
each other: to church, which they
attended regularly. Their presence
and help at the Ladies’ Aid will also
be missed. Funeral services were
held at the United Church. Sunday
