SINKAGE OF LOGS It has been estimated that about two and one-half million dollars | a year are lost in Eastern Canada | on account of the sinkage of logs while being floated from the woods | to the mill. This problem is being | studied by the Forest Products Lab- oratories of Canada, Department of the Interior.

Guiding is in its youth in Oshawa and the story of it as told by Mrs. Ratcliffe, last even- ing was perhaps the first time many of the mothers present at the meet- ing had an opportunity of becom- ing well informed on the subject. Although some of them have chil dren in the Guides in the city, the mothers themselves have little knowledge of it, more than its name and a few or its activities, The speaker told the fascinatir= story about Mary Campbell wlio came out from England to teach in a little school 65 miles North East of Regina. To the forty chil- dren, all ages, both sexes, all na- tionalities, discipline was unknown. They had no intention to learn, Miss Campbell became discouraged and longed for England where the children came to learn and where rules of discipline were observed and she herself had been a Guide tnew that it would help the chil- dren. She wrote to the Girl Guides and Boy Scouts and wondered if hey could mix them both. In 1917 Mary Campbell started out with uides and Scouts, Brownies and Wolf Cubs. She told them a story iad a lot of boys who didn't know anything about discipline. He made a for them. When he came to England published a | called "Scouting for Boys." ..e Loys in En_land picked up this ook and read it. Baden Powell adled together these boys who were reading his book and playing this of his. He found that there were 17,000 boys who wero doing these things. The girls too were interested and Baden Powell's sis-| ter thought she would organize them. She found there were some 8,000 girls interested, es £ ha Miss Baden Powell realized that the principles of the movement could be the same | but she made a few change called the organization | Guides." The scouts and the] Guides met separate!v. They could ring along their little brothers and isters to the meeting and before long the Wolf Cubs and Brownies were started. That is the story Miss Campbell told to her school in Saskatchewan. She asked the children if they would like to be- long to tho 'family. Tlhvy welv vu~ thusiastic and in the morning in- stead of the regular exercises the school formed around the flag and hoisted the colowss. Every little blu of work was carried out in true Baden Powell manner. This was a miracle. Miss Campbell gives credit to the force that lay behind this movement of guiding and scout- ing. We have seen it worked among all kinds of children and under all conditions. There is an appeal to the Guide Movement, Today the latest education sys- tems are following the method of teaching through games. Somebody has sald that in case of adults, play is an interruption to work whereas to children work is an in- terruption of play. Mrs. Ratcliffe gave as an example of any Guide meeting: "The whistle blows--there is perfect silence and the meeting opens. There is no set manner of holding a meeting. A patrol consists of eight girls with one as leader. The meeting comes to order with the patrols in forma- tion. Devotional exercises take place. The patrols go to their pa~ trol corners and carry on discussion. i'hen they come together and take part in such things as signalling, and the tying of knots, Games are played in which the Guide must ptt group ahead of self. The instruc. tion period follows. This includes such things as sewing. A more ac tive period may follow either the use of physical exercise or folk or country dancing. Group singing closes the meeting." The Guide movement is interna- tional. It is carried on in fifty-4 nine different countries in the world. It reaches the most isolat- ed members through the mail. There are over two thousand such members. The movement is unde- nominational. This address, which was the out- standing feature of the evening was considered one of the best heard by King Street Home and School club members, Mrs. G. B. Norris, president of the Club presided at last night's meeting. A short business session included discussion with regard to the school rink, which it is antiei- pated will be equally successful as last year. Five dollars was voted from the club to Dr. Marty Mem- orial Fund. A programme by the pupils of the school consisted of a plano duet by Doris Rundle and Marion Palmer, a recitation by Elmer Eadie, a chorus by members of Miss Kaiser's class, recitation by Laurie Wakely and a reading by Dorothy Young.

The losing team in the recently completed "Mile of Pennies' contest was in charge and arranged an In- door Track Meet, : Under cheer leaders Davis and Goldsmith the gathering was divided into two teams, Varsity and Mec- Gill. College yells were prepared and practiced and then the two riv- al colleges meet in an exciting and amusing list of pseudo-athletic events. Fun waxed fast and furious and prodigous cheering was heard through out the evening. Refreshments, listed on the pro- gramme as a "capacity contest," were a pleasant interlude in an evening of continuous fun. The of- tering, in ald of the Native Pastor whom the society is supporting in India, was listed as a deep diving contest. The results of this event were extremely gratifying. When the last event had been run and Varsity had been declared the winner, the National Anthem was sung and a hilarious evening brought to a close. Next week's meeting starts a new series of studies from the book "Fighters for Freedom" which pro- mises to be of unusual interest. {NOX CHURCH YOUNG PEOPLE A very enjoyable evening was had by all who attended the regular weekly meeting of Knox Church Young People's Soclety, The So- ciety is planning for a play to be Yield on the first of March, next | ear, Election of officers took place 'ast evening.

Stumpy, the three-legged young Muskrat had bumped his nose. He had bumped it hard against some- thing hard and it had startled him 80 that he had very nearly let go all the air he was holding in his lungs while he swam under water. In vain he tried to put his nose out for fresh air. The Smiling Pool had a top, a hard top or a roof, or else he was having a bad drean. turned back to the bottom and yam down to the underwater en- trance to the underwater hall that led up to the comfortable room above the water in Jerry Musk- rat's house, and there drew a long breath of fresh air. How good it was. My, my, what a relief it was not to have to hold his breath any longer. His father, Jerry Muskrat, was asleep. So was his mother. His sister was awake and to er Stumpy excitedly told of his queer experi- ence. "So the Smiling Pool has got a hard top on it," he conclud- ed. His sister yawned. "Go sleep," sald she. 'You've heen dreaming. Go to sleep and when you wake up vou will find the miling Pool 18 just as it has al- ways been." She yawned twice and then calmly went to sleep. Stumpy couldn't. No, sir, he couldn't go to sleep. He wanted to. He tried to. It was of no usec. e was too excited to go to sleep. e kept thinking about that hard top on the Smiling Pool and won- cCering where it had come from and who had put it there and what it was for. He did wish his fa. ther would awaken. Two or three times he started to go back out into the Smiling Pool, but each time his courage falled. There was something queer about the Smiling Pool. He had had hard work to get bagk before losing his breath that other time and really didn't dare try it again. No, sir, Stumpy really didn't dare go out in the Smiling Pool again. He 1S NOT WORRIED BY NEW DUTIES We Shall Do Our B-st Serve Canada, Says Mrs. Ferguson 14 0 Toronto, Ont, Dec. 10.-- (By The Canadian Press)---During the past week the home of Mrs. Fer- guson, has been filled with flowers and ~ongratulatory messages on her hus- band's new appointment, but a note of the real loss felt is sounded everywhere. An interview in the "Mail and Empire" gives a picture of one who has been a great influ- ence in Canada: "A charming woman sat in the library of her house the other day, with a slightly wistful look as she had tea quietly amid the books, the needlepoint chairs, the panelled walls of the house to which she has given the personality of "home' {in a city of friends; yet with a gleam of ideal in her eyes as she thought of the Canadian home in London." | She is not worried by the weight | of the new duties, "It is not a mat- ter of being a premier"s wife, or the wife of the High Commissioner. It is just a matter of believing in what you are doing and doing your best every day. We shall do our very best for Canada. Yes, it has been difficult at times," Mrs. Fer- guson sald as she reminisced of the early opposition days. 'Many good men are deterred from enterng poli- tics because they hesitate to sub- ject their families to the bitterness of political life. But I knew that he was not seeking place; that he believed in his work, and, as he said, ready to stop any time the neople did not want him, "I have always been interested in his work. My friends uged tp won- der what interet I could find in at- tending the court rooms when he was arguing a case that had to do with a suit over a few sheep or some bushels of wheat, but I was interested." "One thing--we want to give the had a feeling that he might not get back. At last Jerry Muskrat yawned and stretched.

Jerry stopped yawning and look- ed at hig crippled son with a queer expression. 'What was that you sald?" he asked. "I said that the Smiling Pool has a top, a hard top, a sort of roof," replied Stumpy. "Have you heen dreaming?" ask- ed Jerry, and added: have been.

"I started out for an | early swim and a bit of breakfast, but bumped my nose against that hard top to the Smiling Pool and had all I could do to get back | here to draw another breath. I | don't see what we are to do. If | that hard top stays on the Smiling | Pool how are 'we ever going to get out again? How are wa going to get enough to eat? Where did ft come from and who put it there?" Jerry Muskrat began to chuckle. He understood now just what had happened. It was the news he had been expecting for some time. "I'll | answer your last question first. Jack Frost put it there," said he. (Copyright, 1930, T. W. Burgess) The next story: 'Jerry Musk- rat Explains." English and Canadians to know | each other.

Even when state officials were being entertained, there was usual- ly economy and sinfplicity, Mrs, Ferguson explained. The hold staff "was as large as ever, where the host had by any means heen able to keep it up, but the cut was made by wearing simple gowns and frocks, eliminating expensive liquors and foods, "At several lun- cheons the menu was simpler than the average Canadian household 'would expect on an ordinary day," Mrs. Ferguson said with admira- tion. | | of the trips {| "hile HERMITS 2 Eggs 1 Cup Sugar 34 Cup of Shortening 34 Cup of Milk, sour 34 tablespoon Soda 1 tablespoon mix. spice 1 Cup chopped Raisiins 12 cup chopped walnuts Ya Cup of Dates Five Roses flour dough.

SOVIETS NEW LINE HAS STOPPED Railway to Turkestan Par- alyzed Due to Lack of Labor Moscow.-- General traffic over the new 1,700-mile Turkestan-Sib- erian railway, which was officially opened several months ago with much ceremony, has been delayed by lack of labor with which to com- plete stations, switch yards and other attributes of a regular line. Officials of this road, which was cited as one of the big achievements of the Soviet government, recently asked for 4,000 workmen to aid in completion of the line, It runs from the rich granaries and forests of Siberia through undeveloped areas of Turkestan to the ancient cities of Samarkand and Bokhara. It was hoped to have the line in general use by January 1, 1931, but if the labor shortage continues there is considerable doubt as te just when this happy ending will be brought about. The main line was built entirely by native labor and without foreign technical or financial assistance. It cost more than $100,000,000 and required four years of unremitting work. The railway situation fn Russia apparently is not improving very rapidly. Although new rolling stock is being constructed as fast as possible, the number of cars is still insufficient to take care of the couns try's grain and other commodities, Railway Commissar Buhmindo- vitch told The Associated Press that the Russian lines have been experi-* encing a heavier trafic per mile than the roads of any other country in the world. Trafic figures, for instance, show that the United States has 4.5 passengers per mile of railways, Canada 2.7 and the Soviet Union 12.97, While the passenger traffic is un- wieldy, the matter of moving freight is more serious. Huge stocks of vegetables are shipped to the cities daily in open freight cars, uncrated and unrefrigerated. The result is that for every car- load of these perishables shipped, only one-fourth is fit for consump- tion when it arrives at destination. Consequently there is a shortage al- ways in vegetables whereas, under Canadian conditions, there would be more than plenty. "New Storm Sweeps West." "East Gripped by Storm."
