G. Knox of Tuxford, president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, said fn a statement last week at Regina that he expects.a meoting of the Union of Westery Municipalities will be called to consider the economic situation of farmers in view of col lapso of the Domivion-Provinclal conference at Ottawa. Knox said & meeting of tha Western Union would convene at the same time as the annual cou vention of the Saskatchewan Assoc {ation HOPES OF REDRESS SHATTERED "Tho result of the collupse ot the conference is so serious for Western Canada that "I. feel some drastic action wijl have to be taken on behalf of the ural residents, and particularly these of Suskateh- ewan who bad so much to hope from the implementation of the the commission's recommenda- tions," said Knox. "The farmers of Western Can. ada are losing thelr equity in their homes as result of conditions of the past decade and their hopes of gelting some redress are now shat tered, unless something is done. Seeing With 2 Eyes . With two eyes, we really see two images from two péints of view but the brain consolidates them into one solid image. An ordinary photcgraph looks flat because the camera saw it only with one eye, =o to say. But if we take two photographs of the object and put them side by side at the right distance and look at them with both eyes through a stercoscope,. we see only one photo as fi it were solid or "in relief", as we would sce the real object with our eyes. "Mop Up" Starfish To Protect Oysters Starfish, it would appeur, are about to be Dblitzkrieged by a "mopping up" process as the re- sult of experiments conducted on the Prince Edward Island oyster "bedé by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, according to the National Resources depart: ment of the Canadian National Railways. Starfish comprise one of the chief enemies of the oys ter. In the experiment, mops made from cotton waste tied to picces of wire in clusters of seven or eight, each mop being from "three to four feet long, are tow: ed over infested areas by a motor boat. The starfish become -en- tangled in the loose threads of * the mops and are then removed by being picked off by hand or immersed in hot water. Experi ments indicate 'that the method is proving very successful. Must Tell All : To Census Man Census takers who will cover the Dominion next summer will want to know the years you attended school (in- stead of asking, as formerly, whether you can read and write), what type of house you live in, how many rooms are in it, what' kind of fuel you use, if you have a bathroom and a refrigerator and how much rent you pay. If 'you are a woman -- and they hope you will keep your temper and your rind on your arithmetic --they will ask how old you were at the .time of your first mar - riage, the number of children and the children living at date of census.

The 1940 figure was 1,182,041 tons high. er than the 1930 tonnage, an In- crease of 95 por cent. This was accomplished dospite sharp drops in the movement of wheat, flour, barley, oats, rye and other grains, tho survey disclosed. Wheat alone was down $78,692 tons, Tonnage over the Sault Ste. Marie Canal totaled 89,853,413 tons, higher than at any perlod since 1920 when 92,622,017 tons wwe re- ported. Freight during the 1939 sea- son was 09,549,304 tons. Very light movements of grain, wood pulp and gasoline forced St. Lawrence canal freight down to 7,470,617 tons compared with 8. 310,165 in the 1939 season. This represented a decrease of 10 per cent the bureau said.

One of these belts is in. the east, beginning with the Canadi- an province oi Quebec and ex- tending to Prince Edward Is land, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, and along the Atlan: tic coast. In this hrea all but four states have pneumonia . deathrates above .the average. The second pneunioriia belt con- sists of four states in the moun: tain region, namely, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada. Hits Canadians Annually Contrary to usual public opin- fon, neither latitude nor a cold climate 'conduce to the onset! of "pneumonia. - The provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta and the state of South Dakota are safer from pneumonia than are South Carolina, Georgia and Arizona, which are warmer climates, It appears that a combination * of FOR HANG-ON COUGHS 5% COLDS AST, BRONCHITIS ie) $9) & [CID Ga pl VJ = i ) cold climates and low average humidity as is found in Saskat- chewan, Alberta and a number of the United States, operates in fa- vour of a low pneumonia inci- dence. About 80,000 Canadians an- nually become ill of pneumonia and until recently one out of every four" attacked, died of it. Now, thanks to the discovery of drugs of the sulphanilamide class the lives of nine out of ten vic: tims can be saved. Last ycar in hospital practice pneumonid deaths were reduced by two thirds. But there remains the problem of prevention. The chief items in the prevention of pneu- monia are: 1.

Canadians Do Most Phgning Placé More Telephone Calls Per Person Than Any Other People in the World Canadians place an average gf oyer seven million telophone calls each day, George L. Long, histor- ian of the Bell Telephone Company of Canada declares. . 235 CALLS PER YEAR Canadians are tho greatest tele-* phone talkers in the world, accord- ing to Mr. Long. "In other words," he said, "we have placed more telephone calls per -person than the people of any other country. The-~record for 1938 shows that it you are an average Canadian, you have placed 235. telephone calls. Compared with- this, the average American placed 223." "It requires 18,000 telephone people lo carry on the telephone business' fn Canada," Mr. Long safd, "of which about 9,700 are em- ployed by the Bell Telephone Com- pany, the other 8,300 being em- ployes of over 3,000 other tele phone systems in the Dominion." "Records show," Mr. Long sald, "that an- individual telephone cus- tomer has had an average of only one trouble in 14 months during the past two years. Five years ago, 'there was one trouble per tele- phone in 10 months." RHEUMATIC SUFFERERS Accept This Generous Offer!
