EDITORIAL NOTES In reviewing the results of the Middle School examinations in other centres we notice that the Flesherton school i.s amongst the leader.s. The teachers are to be congratulated on the .success of their work the past year. • • • Several nearby editors are taking 'their holidays this week. Editor Frank Irwin of Durham and hi.s better half are enjoying a trip to Quebec city, and editor Mclntyre of Dundalk and editor Elliott of Alliston are also holidaying. May they come home with much energy and ambition to commence another year of work and worry, both of which take up a con- siderable part of a newspaper editor's daily routine. Engagement Mr. and Mrs. H. B. McLean, Price- ville, wish to announce the engage- ment of their daughter, Doris Jean, to Mr. Kmerson I'iayford Shantz, son of Mr. and Mis. P. E. Shantz of Wes- ton, the marriage to take place early in September. the course of a few days. The report of him being alive failed to catch up with the report of his death, which was received in Flesherton at that time. â€" . . To come down to present days Walt- er attended the reunion, joined his own unit in their celebrations and recognized the friend who had beer carrying him to safety in the above instance. He could hardly believe that .Walter was there in person un- til the latter related the whole in- stance, as he had never known that the death report was false. Mrr Geo. Banks relates of meeting one of his old pals, whom he had last ."een lying wounded in a field in Franco during one of tl.e advances and had never heard that he had come through safely. It was a grand re-union and many such meet- ings of friends of war years took place. The next conclave is being planned for 1936 when a pilgrimage will lake place to Viniy Ridge, when the new Canadian memorial will be deciicated. TORONTO LINE NORTH Mr. and Mrs. D. A.

Strong an swift, he rushes to and fro, or up nnc down, wreaking havoc on the fright- ened .schools of glass-like shrimp, the vast shoals of silver-white young herring, and wandering group.s ot slim, fast-moving sand eels which feed his lordly appetite. On the other side of the world, out in Pacific wat- ers, are countless thousands of his kin, members of the same Salmonidae family but not of the same branch ot the family, for the Atlantic fish be- longs to the Salmo genus and its full scientific name is Salmo Salar while the Pacific salmon is of the genus Oneorhynthus and may be any one ol four or five species, as, for example Oncorhynchus Nerka, which, being translated, means the sockeye salmon, and Oncorhynchus Keta, or the chum salmon. East and west alike, the salmon is of prime importance to Canada. In British Columbia it is the basis of tht most valuable fishery, from the doll- ars and cents standpoint, of all the many fisheries of the Dominion, while one or two species also give sport to the angler. On the Atlantic coast the fish i.s a source of livelihood for many commercial fishermen and as the King of Sport Fishes it attracts many anglers every year to the streams which it enters from the sea. East and west alike, the salmon's life story is full of interest, with many .similarities in the biographies ol Salmo and Oncorhynchus and with some differences. There is similar- ity, for instance, in the fact that all the salmon come in to fresh water to spawn and spawn in the same fresh water sj'stems where they themselves were hatched. There is notable differ- ence in that the Pacific coast fish spawn only once and then die on the spawning beds while the Atlantic sal- mon spawn several times. Here, popularly told, is the life story of an Atlantic salmon, which after feeding in the sea for a couple of year.s or so on his royal fare of shrimp.s and sand eels and little herr- ing has become big and handsome â€" spawning. Individual salmon havt been known to feed in the sea and spawn in the river as many as five times, and thssc, of course, grow tt lo very big fish indeed. Salmon Babiea But to return to the alevins. Each of the new-born fish has a yolk sac attached to its underbody which pre- vents it from rising much from the bottom of the stream and also con- tains the nourishment upon which the baby draws while it is still in this tender, helpless stage. Gradually the sac is absorbed and the alevin takes to the shape of a true fish, hav- ing grown rapi-lly in the meantime. In this second stage of life the young salmon are known as "fry" or "parr,' the latter name being given them ba- cause of the dark vertical bars which appear on each side of the bcnly Growing, but still tiny, they now swim actively up in the water, but keep their heads upstream so that they will not be carried down by the current, and they greedily devour any minute animal forms that float near. On this sparse food tney grow but slowly and they must remain in the stream or river, sometimes for only two years but usually three, and some for four or even five years, before they are in condition to go to sea. By this time they are like small trout in size, but marked with small black spots. Their .scales become silvery because of the formation in the skin of what are known as chrystals ol guanine, and the vertical bars of the parr are covered up. When they have reached this .>»tage of life tht young fish are known as "smolts."' By this time they have become ex- ceedingly voracious, coming frequent- ly to the surface to snap at anything that looks good to eat, and they no longer try to keep themselves from being carried down-stream. Rambling toward the river mouth, they come into the brackish water. Here they linger for a while to ac- custom themselves to the saltiness and when they can endure it they scatter out to sea, rarely to be seen again by man until they are ready to return to the river where they were spawned. The case of the salmon is an instance of a fish which, reaching the deep seas, almost disappears from the knowledge of man untl instinct fetch- zinjs. This is a great movement we say. It used to be a man never got his praise till he passed out, and then couldn't enjoy it himself, or get any inspiration for going on better- ing himself or his works. "Flowerfc for the Living" is a grand motto. Each one should try it out privately and see how much kick we could get out of it. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Chas.

So he plays about and feeds and grows strong and fat until instinct tells him he musi begin the journey to the fresh-watei stream where he was born. He no longer is hungry, but feels a strange urge within him to begin his travels. The spirit of his youth comes back and he longs for the joy of fighting the swift, turbulent wat- ers near the ocean's surface and the shore. He would swim in the fresh waters again. He comes up from the cool depths into the waves, where it is bi'ightei anrl warmer. He plays around, but always nosing his way wherever the saltness of the sea Ls lessened by the fresh water from the rivers, until, by marvellous instinct, he finds the mouth of the stream that was his early home. He does not go directly into fresh water at once, however, but makes his way slowly to the rivei e.sluary, where the salt water mixes witli thu fresh. With others of his race, both male and female, on the same errand bent, he i-amWl&s and gambols ba:k and forth, now seaward, now riverward, gradually accustoming himself to the change in water.

As fall approaches, the male and female fush, wherevei thay may be in sea, estuary, or river, prepare for the spawning by heading for the gravel beds in the riffle.^ of the river. Great changes lake place now in their appearance. They lose their bright silvery color, and the males develop great hooked jaws. Choosing a clean bed of gravel at the bottom of the stream, ea.-h fe- male salmon hollows out a trough by means of her tail and a twisting motion of her body. Tliore she de- posits her eggs â€" thousands of them â€" »whk'h are fertilized by the male fish and then covered up in the gravel by the flow of the river current. Here the eggs develop during the winter and in early spring they hatch out. when the tiny baby salmon are known as ,'alevins." Meanwhile, the parent salmon, lean and meagre after spawn- ing, seek to make their way h&c\ again to the ocean.

Sometimes it comes after only one year, and sometimes not for three or four years. The salmon that come back after spending only one year in the ocean are called "grilsa" or fidd- lers" and are about five pounds in weight. Only the fish that have re- mained two years in the sea are en- titled to be called "salmon" and they usually weigh ten pounds or more. The males mature before the females and the grilse, or one-year-in-the-soa fish, ar^' usually males. Other Paper's .

The communists of Ru.ssia started the movement and Reds everywhere have tried to stir up the people to throw overboard present social conditions. Because all men are created free they would have one believe that all are equal, entirely ignoring the lessons taught by the greatest of all Teachtrs who ever walked this earth, in the parable of the talents. Isn't it a fact that if a pernon goas ahead and works and educates himself and makes a success of his life, he is better than the fellow who is too lazy to work to educate himself, or to make a success? He had a chance to keep on being e(|Ual but he refused to keep up. Liquor drinkers would tell you that everyone deserves equal rights and that thoy should be allowed to drink jntoxicating liquor when they want to, even if they should go homo and beat up their wives, who, being sober, are more than their equal in decen.''y, but not equal in strength. I'^ew peoidc are born with equal talents, ambitions or desires and it is the height of folly for any group to demand equality for all. But it is up to the more favored folk t« see that the unequal brothers have a chance to become decent citi- zens and an opportunity to make the very best use of the talents with which they are endowed.
