PAY THE FREMIl.M Apart from the natural beauties that are an ever-present lure and attraction to tourists in Canada, the premium on United States dollars is the greatest possible aid to promo- tion of traffic from that country. In terms of dollars, it provides a bonus of ten per cent One enterprising group has pictured it as "one day- free in ten." To others, it is a pleasing: novelty. For any one of these conceptions to be effective, the premium must be paid by the Canadians catering to the tourist. It i- not only a national service to pay the premium, para- mount in wartime, but it is the kiiw as well. It is an offence, punishable by severe penalties, to accept United States currency at anything other than the official rate. Because Canada is in urgent need of United States dollars to buy aero- planes and other vital war equipment in the U.S.A., this American cur- rency should be turned in to the banks without undue delay. It is an offence to hold it for more than a reasonable period of a few days aftet it has been received. No Canadian loses by payment of the premium. Merchants, hotelkeep- ers and others pay the current pre- mium of ten per cent and the banks pay out a like premium in receiving the American currency. The premium is ten per cent, whether it be for U S. paper currency, bank cheques tavellers' cheques or silver. It is a national service and a pat- riotic duty - - pay the tourist his premium.

EUGENIA EDITORIAL NOTES Although there is a great need of experienced help on Ontario farm* the 11,500 young people who wen. placed on farms and orchards under the Ontario Farm Service Force Plan has already done much to relieve the situation. Later it is expcctec the Government will take steps to provide temporary help for the far- mers during the harvest time. Just n.w all efforts are being directed to obtaining recruits for the active army but the outlook is bright th;i the 32,000 quota now sought will .shortly bo obtained. While the Ontario Provincial Coun- cil of Women is prepared to laud At- torney General Conant for his ap- proval of the proposal to give women lhe right to serve on juries the Coun- cil finds, there is a fly in the oint- munt. The Council adopted a resol- ution stating that jury service for women is necessary and in keep- ing with women's activities. But at the same time it is acknowledged that many women ure opposed t<> jury service and therefore it appeared advisable to excuse women who d< not wish to serve arid that sunn- suc-1 provision might be made accordingly. The Council went further afield in a resolution directing the attention ol the Attorney General to the fact that many elected municipal officers had no substantial interest in their muni- cipalities and that therefore proper qualifications of at least $4iWI.O() freehold ownership over all liens and of those seeking civil offices, particu- larly mayoral or uldcrmanic ones. It wa a' 51 " suggested that the juven- ile court act be amended to raise the age of children to be tried in juvenile court for first offences from sixteen to eighteen years. The Ontario authorities have made it clear that they are about to take ;step against a particularly mean kind of theft. The latest racket is that of collecting salvage in the name of the National Salvage campaign with- out being in any way associated with the drive, those engaged in the theft later selling the salvage for their own gain. It is said that these men work mainly in rural areas. It is particularly exasperating to patriotic people who after going to great pains to collect scrap in aid of the war ef- fort to find that all their work ha* gone to enrich a few unscrupulous dealers. The chief complaint about the Salvage Drive is that the cal- lection has been poorly organized and that matters have been allowed to drift along in a somewhat haphazard manner. Most of the pe<vple who claim the home town paper doesn't print all the new, should be glad H doesn't. A number from this community spent the glorious twelth in Culling- wood.

By using a complicated electi- cal machine, it was possible to measure the brain waves of the man who now looked like something that had wandered out of a cartoon com- edy. The young aircraftman was told to enter a small room and lie quietly on a bed. The wires were attached ft) binding posts on the wall. He was told that he wasn't to think of any- thing exciting, such as an evening with his best girl, but to come as near as possible to thinking about nothing at all. Out in the next room, the Flight Lieutenant touobed a switch. A broad ribbon of white paper began to creep over a table. On it were four wavy lines, drawn by pens ac- tuated by the wires from the head of the man whom I could see through the window, lying peacefully on the bed. This patient was normal. The wa- vy lines had no sudden variations. His electro-encephalogram showed that he had passed one more test. A few are abnormal. ? Suddenly the black line takes a jump to one side. An aicraftsman with a rec- ord likathat may take a fit up in the air some itme. He won't be rejected on that onto test alone, but chance.* are that the time and expense of training him would be wasted, so when he shows other symptoms as well, he is finished as a pilot. Low Pressures and Oxygen In the next room, a largo cylindric- al structure stood in the centre of the room. It looked like the bottom of a silo. The outside was reinforc- ed with steel and the planking and large metal pipes ran around it. A porthole of heavy glass was built on one side and there was a desk with a microphone near the window. Dr. Stewart opened a door and we entered a circular room, lined with burlap. Seats for ten persons ran around the sides and in the centre was a table with a chair where the doctor sat. This strange room is used to test the ability U> stand high altitudes where air gets thin and oxygon HCWI-IT. Usually a class of ten takes the test at once, with a doctor keep- ing watch through the window from outside and giving instructions through a loud speaked, while an- other doctor sits nt the centre. The officer on the outside manipulates valves and tin- air is gradually drawn out. Indicators show the altitude at which the air is similar to that inside the circular room, 5,000 feet above sea level, 10,000 feet, 15,000 or more. There is no particular sensation felt by the person inside the tank, but above 10,000 feet, or two miles, the nails turn a bluish tinge, which Is also apparent in the lips. The brain seems unimpaired, bxit that is an il- lusion. To prove this, the aircraft- men are given simple little problems to do to change a sentence Into a common code, or something of the kind. Like a car driver w'th a few drinks, who thinks he can drive as well as ever, they don't know they are making mistakes. As the air la exhausted, the margin of error risen. Another test follows. A rubber oxygen mask is fitted over the nose and mouth. A tube hangs down from it and the end of this is plugged into a squall pipe which runs around the inside of the wall. With a sup- ply of oxygen available, the tests show normal brain operation no mat- ter how high the pilot nwy "fly". Tt is an impressive lesson, thoroughly taught. It Degrees Itelow Zero I wondered what would happen next as Dr. Stewart led me into another room. Young- men were climbing out of flying suits of various types, and hanging then on hooks along the wall. Equipment, as well as men, must stand the tests. The Flight Lieutenant opened a door similar to those on large refrig- erators and we entered a cold cham- ber. The temperature there was said to be 20 above zero, but we didn't stay long, going on into a second and a third, through large insulated doors each time. The second refrigerator chamber was kept about zero and the third at 20 below. In ordinary sum- mer clothes, it began to feel chilly, but such temperatures are encount- ered in high flying. In the third refrigerator room, there was a metal chamber, some- what like a large concrete mixer, coated outside with an asbestos com- pound. My guide unscrewed a circu- lar door like a big porthole and the two of us climbed inside. There was only room for two at a time there, and a cold artificial wind blew con- tinually. Dr. Stewart pointed to a thermometer which registered 43 de- grees below zero, a temperature en- countered four or five miles above the earth. It is possible to exhaust the air from this chamber also. We did not stay long. As we came out again through the various chambers even zero temperatue felt warm.
