T THURSTON, Asaociate Editor EDITORAL NOTES Prime Mini.sttr (.Mackenzie King looks well in a Windsor uniform which he has had his picture "took'' in .since jro'">» to England to hobnob with kings, queens and princes. He had better beware or he miffht be- come Commander-in-Chief of the Brit- ish army and Canada would have to go gunning for another Prime Min- i.ster. Applying the "fine feather" proverb we see danger ahead. • « * There was no concerted program for the planting of shade trees on the villages streets this spring, despite the fact that many wanted to see this work commenced. It would be a good work for the Women's Insti- tute to commence and lay plans for planting next spring. There is need for a tree planting campaign on the village streets, as many of them are bare of any foliage and anything but pleasant to view. • • • The ogre of northern F-urope has been a sick man for the past twenty yeai-s, but now feets himself suf- ficiently recovered to be able to defy all covenanters and destroy all cov- enants entered into in the past with ,>ther powers. His defiance has again broken out in his relations towards the war in Spain, which reminds the world of the old adage, so trite in this case, that "when the devil is ill the devil a saint would be; when tho devil is well, the devil a saint is he." • • • The scenes in South Chicago last Sunday give one a good idea of what might, and probably w»uld, have hap- pened in Ontario if the C. I. 0., had not l>een checked in their career here by a real show of force. The legis- lation recently enacted in the United States by a supine and vote-sec4ting Congress gavt- the C. I. O. forces the idea that they could override the for- ces iif law and order in the country and defy constituted authority. As % result much blood has been shed, and thf I.cwis K-.inu stand out in their true col'ir of actual rebels to She country of Liberty, which they are now attempting to de.slroy and replace with a dictatorship, if not crushed to pulp under fodt at once. • • • A well-known Toionto l)akery has eoninienued their summer program of (iclivuriiig i)re«<l to stores in towns and villages on .N'o. II) Highway. The people are free to ehooBe whicli bread they prefer, but we are sorry, imieed, to see local hidustry slighted, when just as good bread in maile here in i-"k".-<hert()ri av can bo j)urchased any- whwe. • * • Last Friday afternoon we attended a meeting of the newspapermen of Dufferin, XN'elliiigton and Perth Counties, in cowpany with Kditor Col- tran of .Mailidale, which was held at Arthur. l)iscussi(jn» on trade (jues- tioHH were carried on and the mem- bers had a very profitable afternoon. Kditor Clai'idge of Shelbuj-ne was Biirain elected President, while Frank Mclntyre also took the position of Vice-l'residcnt. The octogenarian editor of the Mt.Foreat Confeilerato, Mr. A. W. Wright, was also re-elected secretary of the Association, a posi- tion he has held for a great many years. His worth as secretary is recognized by the members. • • • The Markdale Standard recently advocated the establishing of offices in Markdale Flesherton and Dundalk for the issuing of motor licenses , Dur- ham is the only centres in South Grey where licenses are issued and there is not a point on No. 10 High- way between Orangeville and Owen Sound where the«e can be secured. Car owners are forced to «end extra mon- ey when their applications are sent away for renewal. There arc suf- ficient motor licensM issueil in this district to warrant the government appointing someone ng issuer in these towns and giving service to their cus- tomers. As a commission is awarded by the government to the issuer for eacli license the extra cost would not bi' very great and motor car owners ivould be saved great inconvenience. We would like Mr. Oliver, member for South Grey, to use his influence for the inauguration of such a service for these localities. rORONTO LINE NORTH Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Perigoe and -Mrs. and iMrs. Ross Perigoe of Toronto were week end visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Albert Stewart.

LITTLE, Teacher SHE SHOOTS, SHE SCORES A little eight-year-old girl was tell- ing her family at dinner the other evening about Easter-time "exam- inations" her class had l>een having at school that day. She felt that .she had done pretty well, the questions harl seemed easy. The first one, she revealed, had been: "Name two of Canada's mo.st popular winter sports." "And what," asked her father, "was your answer to that?" "Why," exclaimed the |)arti.san .voung hcK-key fan, "Ila«vey Jackson and Red Homer, of course!" The family lauujhed and laughed and tJien tried to explain gently to their perturbed offspj-ing that she would get no marks for that an»wer. But they were wrong, for tho little giiil'g toacher, one of St. Mary's most |)opnlar sports, gave the bright pupil ,i ixrftfct score on the play. .She -What do you mean by tell- ing your lio.v friend that I was deaf and iliinib?

School Children (Continued From Page 1) PLENTY OF EVIDENCE RE THE RED TINGE There has been plenty of evidence, notes the Alliston Herald, that the C.I.O. is tied up pretty well with the Communists. Speaking to 650 del- egates at the national convention of the Young Communists League in New York, William Z. Foster, chair- man of the CommunLst party, said: "It is not enough to support the C.I. 0. and the Youth Congress. We must become leaders in these movements. We will then march forward with giant strides in the revolutionary movement that is growing like a snowball in all parts of the United States." In view of these utterances it is no wonder Ontario is striving to protect the province from the ten- tacles of the Communistic CJ.O. CRT THEM ALL OL'T OF RED It was two o'clock in tht ing and the doctor wearil.v put away Ills instruments. He spoke dole- fully: "Mad.'ui, I would advise you to send al once lor a clergyman, and if you want to make your will, for your lawyei'!" "llearen.s! groaned the patient. "Am I as far gone as that?" "No, madam, far from it. But it doesn't seem leasonable to me that 1 should be the only one to be dragged out of bed at this hour of the morn- ing for nothing." A tree which yielded sufficient wood for the winter of li);{f)-37 was cut on the farm of Walter Scott, who resides near Wingham. It was on« of the oldest landmarks of Huron C'ounty, a gigantic isoft •'sliinM-ry" elm tree. According to George Baird, vvUo cut the trae, "he just couldn't believe his own eyes" when he saw it. By ac- tual meftsurenient i^ was sixty feet up on the fii-st limb and measm-ed seven feet two incbi's across the stump. The sawyer states that there will be over thirty cords of wood in the tree. The butt log was hollow up for a distance of several feet. After that the logs were perfeutly sound. able to secure 500 specially reserved seats in the Grand Stand, from which the eveninjf display of fireworks may be seen. After this is over the pupils will walk to the Queen Victoria Pub- lic School, which is close by, where the party will sleep, the girls occupy- ing the South Room, and the boys the -North Room, of the Kindergarten De- partment. On Tuesday morning, 31st, the party will again proceed to the Ex- hibition grounds, and at the Dufferin Street Entrance they will be met by a large party of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of Toronto, each of whom will take charge of about ten of the child- ren, taking them through all the build- ings and giving them ample oppor- tunity to see all the exhibits. Promptly at one o'clock the entire party will re-assemble at the Flag Pole, on the Lake front, eat lunch, and rest until three o'clock, when the jiarty will leave for home. Teachers are requested to note care- fully the following:- (1) As I can secure free tickets to the Grand Stand and to the Exhibition for only 500 children, and as sleep- ing accommodation for only that many ! is available, the party will consist of [just that number, 500, hence, child- ; ren under ] 1 years of age are not in- vited this year. (2) Each child must bring one blanket or quilt, for sleeping purposes, and enough lunch for four meals. The lunch for the four meals should be in four separate parcels, one for each meal for each pupil. (3) Each child's hat must be decor- ated with two strips of white tape (in the form of a cross) sewed to four equally distant points of the rim, and to the top of the crown. Tape for this purpose will be sent to the teach- ers as soon as I hear from you as to the number likely to go. (4) As there are many hundreds of children in South Grey who have never been on a railway train, the excursion will be by that means. The follow- ing rates will apply for children under 12. All rates quoted are return: Markdale. $1.40, Fle.sherton, $1.30; Saugeen Jet., $1.25; Dundalk, $1.15; Children over 12 must pay twice that fare. On the C.N.R., from Elmwood the rate is $1.75; Hanover, $1.65; Neu- stadt. $1.60; Ayton, $1.60; children may go by car, but those who .join the party must be at the Union Sta- tion. Front St., Toronto, sharp at noon, Standard time. Children will eat noon lunch on the train before ar- morn- |iiiving at the city, and all parcek of l>edding and lunch will ho taken from the trains (both linos) at Parkdale. and t^iken to the Queen Victoria Scliool, where, through tho kindness of .\Ir. Fuller, the Business Adminis- trator of the Hoard of Education, To- ronto, and of the Board itself, tha children will be permitted to sleep. .All jiarcels nuict be wrapped, tied, and have children's names and a<l(lresses on them. (6) Except for transportation the (•hildi'en will not require any money, as the entire program outlined above is free. .It will be well, howerer. for each child to have a small sum of money, say 25 cents, for OBiwrencies. (6) On no account will children bo r)orinitte(l to go shopping in Toronte. or to visit frien(*s, but friends in tho city may visit children early on Tues- day morning, from 7.30 to 8.30, Dav- YOU NEVER SAW Bent Over SAFE-LOCK FARM FENCE ! It Just can't happen because the locks are jointed and the stays spring- erect again the second pressure is removed instead of beingf pennanently bent. That's why so many people for over twenty years have been calling it "Hinge Lock" fence. Hut if you prefer the best in the Ring Lock type we manufacture it also. P>oth fences are guaranteed full gauge in the lock as well as in the fence. If your local hardware dealer doesn't handle Keenan fencing he can always obtain it for you in 24 hours.

A HEALTH SERVICC OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA BEWARE THE DOG On the 24th of May some years ago, a burly blacksmith stood in his shop in one of our cities. It was holi- day and he had nothing to do. Pres- ently a large Newfoundland dog wandered into the shop. He was friendly and the blacksmith, who had a liking for all animals, patted the dog's head, rubbed his back and play- ed with him. The dog, in the course of the play rose and placed his front paws on tile smiddy's shoulders. Then suddenly without warning, he bit his friendly host on the nose and decamp- ed. The doctor who was called dressed the wound and urged the man to have the preventive treatment for rabies. The wound soon healed and the black- smith neglected to follow his doctor's advice. Exactly a month later, the black- smith began to have curious symp- toms. He couldn't swallow. He got rapidly worse and the doctor who was called diagnosed rabies or hy- drophobic. Little could be done for the patient at this stage. He died within 2 hours, raving mad. In cases of rabies, the onset of the malady occurs late or early because of the remoteness or nearness of the original infection to one's brain. In this case, the bite on the nose placed the infection close to the great nerve •ntre. Onset was consequently early. Htes from straying dogs should he given careful attention. The of- fending- animal, at all costp, should be secured and shut up for a period of ten da.vs. If. at the end of this per- iod he is alive and well, he is not rabid and the wound which has been cleansed and dressed soon heals with- out serious results. If the dog shows signs of illness or if he has died of rabies, his head, in the latter event should be carefully removed and the Ix-ain tissues exam- ined for negri bodies, the presence of which indicate rabies. The child or other person bitten should at once havc a course of rabies preventive tienfment. The course lasts for 21 â-  lays. It is simple of application, harmless and thoroughly effeutive. It is provided gratis, by all up-to-date health departments. This is one of the absolutely certain preventives of <iisease given to the world by the im- moi'tal Frenchman, Louis Pastenr. What a world of agony, loss of life and anxiety has the removal of, hydro- phobia from the list of death-dealing diseases, prevented!. It's a good thing to give credit where credit is due, but it's better to get paid in cash. The finances of the Nazi regime are said to be in bad shape. Not even a Hitler can build up a great army without spending money. Two Irishmen, in Glasgow for th« first time, were puzzled by the work- ing of the traffic sigrnals. "Begorra," said one of them to a pasbing policeman, "how do we know when to cross ? " "When it shows the color of the Emerald Isle," was the reply. When they got safely over one was heard to remark: 'TThey're very con- siderate to us Irishmen, but did you notice the Orangemen didn't get much of a chance." Barrie Examiner: We wonder how much Canada's prestige will be en- hanced by sending so many Senators, M. P.s, and officials to the corona- tion at the country's expense. Mem- bers of the Cabinet, it is understood, have important business conferences to attend while in England, and it is only proper they should have their expenses paid as well as those of officials who are necessary for Min- isters' business, but many people will not be enamored of the idea that the taxpayers should put up the whole shot for the "ornamental" members of the party.
