[ AILSA CRAIG. -- Premier Hep burn hag made amends for uninten- tionally ruining Ailsa Craig's fall "fair last year. He has not only at- - tended and opened this year's fair, but he approved the paving of No, 7 highway for a mile west of the town, \ Allsa Craig had plannéd to hold its fair on October 6, last year, but when Premier Hepburn set that date for the provincial election the fair had to be called off. In intro- ducing the premier, Fraser McFar- lane, president of the agricultural society, stated that it was partly to make amends that Mr. Hepburn had consented to open this year's event. Complete The Job Later in the day, as he was pre- paring to leave the grounds, the premier informed several citizens that in response to a request from J. W. Freeborn, M.P.P,, for North Middlesex, the department of high- ways had decided to complete the paving job on No. 7 highway west of the town. Only one traffic lane had been paved for a mile. The other traffic lane will be done this fall.

S. Whitby of Nctional Research Council, Is deard by Purch- asing Agents. By and large, all industrial pro- gress since the industrial revolu- tion has been dependent on scien- tific research, Dr. G. S. Whitby, director of the chemistry division of the National Research Council, Ottawa, told the 14th annual con- vention of the Canadian Purchas- ing Agents' Association at Mont- real last week. ' A survey of the industries of Chicago made at the time of 'the "Century of Progress" exposition in 1933 showed 42 per cent. of the persons then gainfully employed in Chicago were engaged in lines of activity which were not in ex- istence at the time of the previous Chicago World Fair in 1893, and which had been created in the in- terval by the application of scien- tific advances. Make Standard Specifications The scientist aided the purchas- ing agent, Dr. Whitby said, by paration of standard specifica- tions in which the qualities of goods suited to particular pur- poses are exactly defined and methods of testing laid down, thus making for intelligent and econ- omical purchasing. Standard specifications, intend- ed primarily for government pur- chasing depaitments but available to business. generallys were pre. pared by the Canadian Engineer- ing Standards Association anl the Canadian Government Purchasing Standards Committee, both relat « to the National Research Coun- ofl. In three years the committee has prepared specifications for oils and fuels, textiles, = paints, varnishes, soaps, cleasing come pounds, refractories and sieves, Canadian National Railways Revenues <The gross revenues of the all- inclusive Canadian National Rail ways System for the week ending Bept. 21, 1938, were $8,971,607 as compared with ........ 4,164,141 - for the corresponding period of 19387, a de- erease of .......ccoceennnn.$ 192,684 chen Salts, which quickly AGENTS WANTED ATTENTION!

What Science | * |s Doing * WEATHER HAS A "ROOF" A "roof" for the weather, dis- covered just under the strato- spheré, was described to the fourth International Congress for Applied Mechanics at Cambridge, Mass. The roof is made of huge streaks of air, shaped like fish- hooks. One hook may be a third the breadth of the United States. Twenty or thirty of them may be detected on one day, roofing the United States from the Rockies to the Atlantic. 3 On special maps they resemble a mass of snakes, partly coiled. They appear to be the controls for the mixing bowl beneath them, the ARMS USELESS ON A ~~ WET DAY Rheumatic Pains Relieved by Kruschen Here is a noteworthy instance of the manner in which damp weather can affect the joints of one who is subject to rheumatic pains, "I had been suffering from rheumatism very badly," a man writes, "and had such pains in my Joints that I could hardly bear it on a wet day especially. It pained me terribly to use my arms, and I was hardly able to work. I tried two different remedies, but I was still as bad after the treatment. "Then I was told to 1 Krus- rought relief. So of course I have kept on with it, and I am now much better and have never felt so fit for years. I used to feel so miserable and sluggish, but now it is 8 plese. ure to be able to work."--S.B. The pains and stiffness of rheu- matism are often caused by uric acid crystals in the muscles and oints, The numerous salts -in uschen assist in stimulating the nternal organs to healthy, regu- lar activity, and help them to elim- inate excess uric acid, oo whirls of air which are "lows" or storms, when revolving in one di- rection, and "highs" or fair, in the other. Their detection and their part in making the weather was report- ed by Dr. C. G. A. Rossby, of Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. They were found by air- lanes and weather sounding bal- oons. "DEATH 1S PEACEFUL" We speak of the shadow of death, because we fear it as a darkness stabbed with pain. Yet there is one thing that no one ever seems to bother to point out for our comfort; and it is this: That all the medical evidence points to death, not as an agony, but as a painless passing from consciousness to the last equiva- lent of sleep. Did you ever read Dr. Alexis Carrel's "Man, the Unknown?" Dr. Carrel explains that death is not instantaneous. It consists of two stages: general death, or the death of the individual, and local death, or the death of the organs. General death takes place with the last beat of the heart. At this point, personality ceases and the man is biologically dead. But each organ dies at its own rate. The kidneys, for instance, can live on for more than an hour. 'MEASURES VITAMIN "A" Invention of a device which de- termines the Vitamin A content in the human system in 80 seconds is claimed by Dr. Lionel Bradley Pett, 28-year-old University of Alberta lecturer-scientist. Lack of the vitamin is related closely to 'night blindness," colds and other diseases of the nose and throat. The device, simple in appear- ance but actually mathematically involved in its construction, out- wardly resembles a circus midway 'penny peep" machine, Staring into the peep-tubes, a patient's eyes are dazzled by a strong light shining on white paper. ' The length of time taken fo the eyes to return to normal shows any deficiency in Vitamin A con- tent. HENRY S. GAGE HAROLD VERMILYEA It is with considerable interest that the coal industry received recent news of the appointment of Henry S. Gage, Sales Agent of the D. L. & W. Coal Company in Western ew York and Ontario, to an executive position in the head officé of that company in New York City. Harold Vermilyea, who was formerly a representative in Ontario, has been appointed Sales Managér for in his althoug estern New York and Ontario lace. Mr. Vermilyea'is widely known throughout Ontario and regretting the departure of M r. Gage, his return will be wel- comed by coal trade throughout this territory. aH -- > 2 THE LITTLE THINGS It takes a little muscle, and it takes a little grit, A little true ambition, with a little bit of wit; It's not the biggest things that count, and make the biggest show; It's the little things that people do, that make this old world go. A little bit of smiling, and a little sunny chat, A little bit of courage, to a comrade slipping back; . It's not the biggest things that people do, that makes this old world go. It takes a kindly action, and it takes a word of cheer, To fill a life with sunshine, and to drive away a tear, Great things are not the biggest things, that make the biggest show: It's the little things that people do, that makes this old world go!

Issue No. 41--'38 Scottish Farmers' Canadian Visit Interested in Breeding of Cattle And Draught Horse Stock A group of Scottish farmers and their wives and families will visit _ Canada in November. It is not known at present how many will be in the party but they will arrive in Montreal November 12 in the Canadian Pacific liner Duchess of Atholl, and will spend a fortnight in Canada. Ten days of this period will be spent in Toron- to, from November 13 to 23. They will spend Saturday, November 12, in Montreal, The tour has been organized by the Ayrshire Cattle Herd Book So- ciety and the Clydesdale Horse Society, two notable Scottish or- ganizations devoted to breeding of cattle and draught horse stock. Town Clerk Finds Owner of Teeth Walter Hawkins, Port Stan- ley (Ont.) municipal clerk, is called on for many unusual requests, and to give assist- ance on problems, but none has been more curious than the recent successful case of the missing false teeth. i During the summer a Port Stanley resident found the teeth at the water's edge on the main bathing beach, and turned them over to Mr. Haw- kins. In turn, he watched the lost and found newspaper ad- vertisements appearing ir the daily papers, and posted a no- tice on the municipal bulletin board. Now he has learned that a summer visitor had lost his plate and accordingly sent the missing item to the owner, a resident of Detroit, who dis- covered that the welfare of the tourists is considered highly important here. Today's Changes In Hosnitality Modern Hostess Sets Fresh Rules-- More Casual Treat- ment of Guests Is Seen Hospitality--like most things-- has undergone some changes in the last few years. Once to be hospit- able meant to urge a guest to come, urge him to eat (or drink) too much, urge him to stay longer than he should, and keep him at the door while he was urged to come back. Today, modern hostesses realize all that is a strain--even more of a strain on the guest than on the hostess. So women have started treating guests more casually. Not, mind you, in .the affected "Why in the world did you turn up, but now that you are here we'll make the best of it" manner of the peo- ple who mistake rudeness for so- phistication. But in the manner of real friendliness that means "If you can come we want you, If you can't we'll understand." And then, once the guest arrives, lets him do about as he pleases. And lets him go without argument when he says he must go. Rzal Friendliness Shown Today's hostess doesn't let talk turn to gossip--or monopolize the conversation herself, Neither she nor the host outshines the guests --no matter how easy that might be. You go to her house feeling that she wants you because you are YOU. You never feel while you are there that she has gone to too much trouble (though she has, of course) and you leave without feel- ing apologetic for not staying long- er. World's Finest Ski Instructor Second Only to Hans Schneider "Is coming to Gray Rocks Inn, St. Jovite, Quebec--Will Es- tablish Famous Hans Falkner Ski School There. One of the greatest forward steps in the promotion of ski-ing in Can- ada and the United States, both for beginners and for those who al- ready consider themselves experts, is the transfer of the famous Hans Falkner Ski School! from Ober Gurgl, Austria, to Gray Rocks Inn, St. Jovite, Province of Quebec. Falkner is probably the most out- standing 'ski instructor in the world today, with the possible exception of Hans Schneider, and he brings with him to Canada several of the teachers who have been associated with him in his work at Ober-Gurgl. The establishing of the Hans Falkner Ski School in the Province of Quebec should be of great inter- est to skiers in Eastern Canada and the Eastern section of the United States. Falkner, himself, is an in- ternational figure, who will be re- membered by many as the man who rescued Prof. A. Picard and his stratosphere balloon from a cre- vasse in the Ober-Gurgl glacier in May, 1931. The Londonderry Cup Among the prominent people at- tending the ski school at Ober- Gurgl were Ishbel MacDonald, daughter of the former Prime Min- ister of Great Britain, and the Mar quess and Marchioness of London- derry. The two latter guests were so pleased with the spirit and at. tractions of the school that the Marquess donated a large silver cup to be yearly given to the win- ner of an international ski race or- ganized and directed by Hans Falk- ner. These races were to be open to ski experts, amateur and profes- sional, from any portion of the world, This race was to be desig- nated as the Londonderry Pace. Before Falkner's arrival in Can- ada he was promised by Lord and Lady Londonderry every co-opera- tion possible and was also given the right to establish in Canada an in- ternational race with the London- derry Trophy as a prize. Canada and Jamaica ['lour, cornmeal, oats, wheat, hom, pickled poick, condensed milk leaf tobacco and potatoes were the nrineipal agricultural ex- poris from Canada to Jamaica. in 1937, when the total of all Cana- dian exports amounted to consid- erably more than four and a half million dollars. As in former years, Canada was the largest in- dividual supplier to Jamaica of goods classed as food, drink, and tobacco.

Wolves Attack Browsing Herd Situation Becoming Serious in Bruce County As Pack of Nine Wolves Seen Together LUCKNOW. -- David Carruthers had a 1,200 lb. steer killed last week by wolves in Kinloss Town- ship. The animal was pastured on the McGillivray farm, near the Carruthers' farm, Hearing a com- motion, Mr. Carruthers investigat- ed but found nothing except the herd running fast, but the next morning he made the discovery. It was evident that the animal had been attacked on the throat and countless places on the body. The situation is regarded as se- rious as one report states that nine wolves were seen chasing a deer recently, Those in the Holyrood area who have had animals de- stroyed are Richard Elliott, three . sheep, also William Statters and William Thompson's have been at- tacked. During a storm at Brusa, Ana- tolia, millions of dead frogs rained from the sky, their bodies being found over an area .of several square miles, RUNNING RACES AT LONG BRANCH Wednesday, October 5th to the 12th, 1938 Long Branch Jockey Club, Limited DIRECTORS: C.
