THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1931 PAGE SEVEN OLD WALRUS SKULL [5 FOUND IN SAND Believed by C.N.R. Natural Resources Branch to be Over 20'000 Years Old Montreal, April 16.--The natur- al resources and development branch of the Canadian National Railways has come into possession of a walrus skull believed to be be- tween 20 and 30 thousand years old, It was found in Northern Mani- toba by George Brown of The Pas, | an employee of the C.N.R., during recent construction work on the Hudson Bay Railway. The skull was discovered eight feet beneath the surface of a gravel ridge situated eight miles east of the main line of the Hudson Bay Railway at Mile 467. This point is about 35 miles due west of the western shore of Hudson Bay. The skull is that of the Arctic walrus (trichechus rosmarus) and probably represents one of the many walrus wanderers that flourished south of Hudson Bay during the glacial period. Walrures are notor- {ously gregarious and it is interest- ing to reflect that over much of the country at present traversed by the Hudson Bay railway there was once heard the deep barking of thou- sands of these mammals ordinarily peaceful but thoroughly formidable when aroused. The two tusks, some 15 inches iu length, are well preserved after thousands of years beneath the sands, but one is considerably worn Aylmer Products Are Sold by Superior Stores WANTED Canadian and American postage stamps prior to 1900, preferably on original envelopes.

It is considarad pogsible that this tusk was chipped at the creature sludged among rocks and sed shells in search of food, or was broken in battle with some. polar bear, the inherent enemy of the walrus. FEMINIST REVIEWS EVENTS AT QUEBEC Women Must Have the Vote to Attain Justice, is Dec- laration at Montreal Meet- ing Montreal, April 16.--Over half the population of Quebec----the wo- men---will never obtain any impor- tant right until it counts politically and its demands will never receive a serious hearing from the legisla ture until it gains the right to vote. So declared Mrs, Plerre I. Cas. grain, president of the League for Women's Rights, reviewing events at Quebec in regard to the two fem- inist measures which were recently defeated. One member, and not among the least important in the Legislature, had said a few days previously: "Please don't ask us to wasté the time of the Legislative Assembly over your academic debates," said Mrs. Casgrain. Was the bill to ad- mit women to the Bar an academic question--a measure designed to afford women the requisite train. ing and talent to earn their liveli. hood in the profession for which they were fitted? she queried. Was a bill intended to give over half the population of the province the right to participate in the choice of those who would make the laws for the good or lll of the country an aca- demic matter. Labor and the fasmers are listen: ed to seriously when they make de- mands of the Legislature, said Mrs. Casgrain. Why? Because they have the vote. When the women seek some legislature action they are told "We must not proceed too quickly---come back next year; we are €o busy, we have not time to vaste," "We need the vote. At the polls our voice would be eloquent indeed ---~we would be heard. It is true," Mrs. Casgrain continued, "that we obtained certain amendments to the Civil Code, but only at the cost of year after weary year of striving and disappointment, and in face of a campaign of violence and calumny on the part of our opponents. "We are not discouraged. Our cause is just, and we will win in the end." Mrs, Casgrain said. WHEAT TESTING PROVES ITS WORTH! Plays Important Part in the Economic Development of Canada Ottawa, April 16.--It is probab- ly safe to say no phase of scientific inquiry has played 9 more import ant part in the economic develop- ment of the Dominion than has that connected with the milling and baking of new wheats ag conducted at the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa. Here one may daily hear the hum of a miniature flour mill and may examine numerous test loaves produced from new wheats brought in from the numerous gov- srnment conducted experimental farms + and stations throughout Canada, at which points they are W. HALLOWELL Well-known to the radio trade in Oshawa and district, who has been appointed De Forest Crosley Lim. ited representative for this terri. tory. earlier tested for yield and agrono- mic characters. The oven in which the world- famous Marquis wheat was first baked some 20 years ago, is still in use. It is doing its bit in connection with an aggressive program which seeks to produce for Canada still finer wheats. Undoubtedly one of the best as- sets possessed by the Dominion to. day is the high quality of her wheat. The grain is prized above all for its superb quality, reflected in its abil ity to provide "strength'" to blends of weaker wheats. While the grain of Argentina and Russia may ap- proach in quality the wheat produc. ed in this Dominion, yet Old Coun try millers still regard Canada's product as Monarch of the wheats The importance to Canada of maintaining a high standard in the quality of her wheats has long been recognized. As a result no new wheat, no matter how productive, has been able to obtain the stamp of aproval and to get into general |eirculation before being put to the |acid test, first. of the experimental mill and bake shop and finally of the larger commencial establish- ments. It was at the Experimental Farm here that the outstanding quality of ARTHUR SLYFIELD ADDRESS TEAGHERS AT BAPTIST CHURCH Teachers and Officers Meet For Regular Meeting On Tuesday evening at the regu- lar monthly meeting of the teachers and officers of First Baptist Sun- day school, a scholarly and stimu- lating address was delivered by Mr. Arthur Slyfield, Oshawa Collegiate Librarian.

Fur- ther business was deferred until later in the evening and the speak- er was introduced by Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Slyfield spoke to the staff in an interesting and convincing way about the high calling in which they are privileged to serve, about the existing need for such work and the preparation of lesson material, He maintained the necessity for truly Christian teachers in the church school, people of mature thinking and _ intelligence, those who, apart from possible pedagogi- cal training thoroughly know their subject. Thorough knowledge of the bible material to be presented as well as of the Bible ag a whole was given an even higher place by the speaker than was familiarity with the psychology of teaching. A clear and helpful outline was given of ways in which the study of lessons can best be carried out by the tea- cher and a high standard was set before the audience for such prepar- atory study. Helps in the form of books and periodicals with ideas on how and where to locate them were mentioned in closing. The thanks of the staff for so interesting and stimulating an ad- dress were expressed by Mr. Davis after which routine business was taken up including the appointment of a Mothers' Day committee and nlans for the particular method by Marquis was first recognized as a result of the exacting tests to Which | | it was subjected.

It is confid- ently expected that in the near fu- ture a variety will be made avalil- Manitoba which will be capable of resistinf the ravages of this disease, and at the same time produce sat- isfactory yields of wheat of excel- lent baking qualities. The saving to Canada of such a wheat may easily run into many millions of dollars during a year in which an epidemic occurs, Do You Forget?
