A. Forrester, Publisher Thursday, October 13vh, 1938 According to a report issued! in. April by the Entomological Branch of the Department of Agriculture, graMilopper eggs are spread over nearly 63 million acres in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In years of (abundance as many as two thousand eggs to the square foot have been found in Western. Canada. « » * * -K. # Rose throwing was banned in Sudentenland when Hitler was struck on the .face with a bouquet of roses which scratched his face slightly. S'tiriclt orders usually are issued, prior, to big Nazi spectacles, that flow- ers must not be thrown at Hitler because of the danger of injury. The iGenman population will have to find1 something nice and soft to throw at •their beloved he-man, something that will stick but not scratch. ****** Few turkeys" were seen- on the markets to adorn the (tables for fes- tivities in cdefbraâon of the special holiday just past. Thanksgiving day comes a little too early,to allow (the farmers to have the finished •article ready and most of 'the turkeys that decorated the tables were storage birds. This lease on life gives the fanners ample time to have ithe birds in readiness for the Christmas season and also give the turkeys more time to strut their stuff around the barnyard, looking forward to their Christinas dinner that many will never see. ****** Hitler is his speech at Saarbrueeken on Sunday, de'dllared that Ger- many Wanted peace, but she also wanted the other nations to mind, their own biusiness and not meddle with her foreign policy. We wander what; her foreign policy is, though we believe in a very short space of time Germany will demand the return of her colonies. This, we feel sure, would- be a great injustice to those that now lie in Flanders fields, that shed; their Mood for the humanity of the world arid to give the colonies back we - would have nothing to show for the terrible sacrifice that ,was made. He told! his people that if Churchill, Elden and 'Cooper came into power Britain might turn- from peace, so now the nations go on as before building up their defenses against a ! tack and also for offensive pur- posed. Why not the great nations, E they want peace so badly, dis- arm) completely, for as long ais they prepare for war who will believe that they are sincere in their peace talks ? The old- saying seems tb fit Germany, “The more you.get, the more you want.” The mighty has risen high hut hris downfall will be alii the harder. « * * * * * TREASURE HUNTS The mineral production in Canada in- 1900 was valued at 64 million dollars. Thirty-seven years Hater it was over seven times greater or 457 million dollars. Now this increase has not 'been the result, of chance.. Unlike the (treasure hunters of old who went in- search of gold, silver and precious stones, the treasure hunters of today are looking for any metal or ore which may be of use to mankind. The Department of Minés and Resources sends out parties of sur- veyor's and explorers every year to map and investigate the possibili- ties for mining operations.. The findings or these groups are made (available to the public in the form of geological maps and reports. Close to three hundred men have been assigned to field work this year. Forty-one parties will make geologgioal investigations and sfev- .enteen will .make maps. These men go into every mineral producing province in the Dominion and in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. The mining industry means much to Canada for there is $800,000,- 000 of capital]' invested in it and about 80,000 employees who receive in salaries and Wages: $100,000,000 annually. This does not take into con- sidération the many thousands employed in factories and in transpor- tation services which depend upon the mining industry, such as the mak- ing of chemicals, machinery and textiles. ****** PEACEFUL PURPOSE OF NICKEL Many people throughout Canada -are of the opinion that the great bulk of the nickel produced in Canada is used for -armaments in the different countries of the world, but with Canada supplying 86.5 per cent, of the world's consumption of nickel, it is interesting to note that prac- tically 90 per cent, of this metal is today used for ’commercial purposes and only 10 per cent, can be traced to the use, in one form or another, in armaments. The general manager of the Canadian company con- trolling the production of nickel in the Dominion stated, in his presi- dential address recently, that approximately $18,750,000 Mad been ex- pended in the past twenty years in research, development and publicity *o -create peace-time uses for niekel. “Whereas prior to and during the Great War the greatest part of the world’s nickel production was used in armament,” he said, “today the converse was true and ail but a small part of the world’s nickel is absorbed by industry for a multitude of peaice-time uses.” iNiiokel i's of minor importance in warfare as 'contrasted with steel, (copper, zino and lead, he observed. Nor. only does bur a small fraction of miiekel go into war materials but the percentage that does go into arma- ments represents a negligible percentage of the total of all metals used for -such purposes. “For example, no nickel- whatever is used in. rifle or [machine gun barrels or in bayonet steel Nickel in bullet jackets has- been replaced by “gilding metal,” a less expensive alloy containing no nickel whatsoever. Nickel is used in large gun forgings, trucks, aero- planes and in armour for battleships. The .alloy steels used for the pur- polses enumerated contain only , from 1 to 5 per cent, of nickel and the (amount 0f nickel so used- is less than 10 per cent, of the world output. Thus nickel is not. essentially a war metal, nor is it essential to war, -whether gauged by the percentage of nickel which goes into armament or whether gauged by the percentage of armament metal which is represent- ed by niekel â-  Nickel is sold in bulk to steel -makers and alloy manufacturers [throughout the world, who, in turn, sell their nickel-bearing products to mumerous fabricators for final distribution to numerous users. Thus the mickel used in .armament exclusively cannot be segregated successfully.” County and District News « i i i -* Thieves raided C. A.

Record crowds attended the Port Perry Agricultural Society Fall Fair in conjunction with the On- tario County Holstein Association. While the quality of exhibits was the -best in the history of the show, The entry lists reached a new high for all lime. A truck owned by the Marsh Transport Company had a narrow escape from colliding with a C.P. R. train on highway No. 2, east of Port Hope, recently. The driver of, the transport did not notice the ap- proaching train, and to avoid col- lision tujrned the it,ruck into the -ditch. Tli)e driver escaped injury and no damage was done to the truck. After a three years’ effort Town Clerk A. W. Young, Cobourg, and members of the Cobourg Council reaped .their reward when, ,,n Monday night of last week W. A. Fraser, M. P. for Northumberland, presented the connei-t wlih cheque for $2,696.80 in settlement of tolls collected by the Flederiall Government for wharfage on the centre prier. J. A. Noble, of Hamilton Town- ship, was found guilty of reckless driving in Cobourg police court be- fore Magistrate W, A. F. Campbell and was ordered to pay .the costs of the court amounting to $39. On Sept, , 6th Noble came onto .the highway from a sideroad without stopping, with the result that a transport truck was forced to the ditch and! upset at a sideroad near Gage’s Creek. John Petroisky, aged 55, and a well known Wilson road, resident, Oshaxva, is believed to have com- mitted Suicide on Friday afternoon of last week. Perrockey’s body w-as found on the back porch of his home and a 12 gauge shot gun, found by the body, is' supposed to have been used in the rash act. While no definite motive for the deed has been learned, i.t is under- stood that Petroskey had been in a quarrel. His wife and son was in the garden at the time. His Honour D, B. Coleman, of Whitby, handed down judgment in favour of Trueman Edward Kelly, >f Toronto, who brought action for damages against James C. Campbell, of the township of (South Mon- aghan, in Cobourg Police /Court on Monday of last week. The action was brought following a collision between an -auto driven by plain- tiff and a snowplow driven by de- fendant, four miles south of the vil- lage of Bewdley on February 27th, 1988. When plaintiff rounded a slight bend he found the truck park- ed diagonally across the pavement without lights# Negligence was found on the part of the, defendant, and $500 damages and costs was,: the result of the action. - COWANVILLE 'Hr.
