mcbride or bognor the winner of the contest and howard w allen of toronto manager of the community campaign were the men sentenced u some weeks ago eleven meaford w business men sponsored a campaign the winner of which was to receive 500 votes were obtained on sales in the eleven business places and by bringing in junk which was sold and counted as so many votes according to the evidence mcbride arrived in meaford a week after the campaign got under way little was heard of him as a contestant and when he was- announced the winner meaford was greatly surprised j p p blrlne crown prosecutor held that there had been an agree ment between mcbride and allen to keep mcbride s identity unknown un til after the contest was over and the prizes awarded the fact that mc bride was a brother of mrs howard w allen the managers wife was an- v other suspicious circumstance he averred mrs allen admitted she was the winners sister and told the court it was on her suggestion that he entered the

allen himself had gone out and purchased 3 worth of these old accounts for eight cents on the dollar just a few hours before the contest closed the insinuation the crown alleged was that allen wanted to ensure mcbride winning first prize the case lasted for five and a half hours with the courtroom packed with interested meaford citizens most of whom had been entered in the contest that mcbride won

roger babson told a graduating class of american univers ity students the other day mr bab son went on to explain that times have changed and the lure of the big cities no longer is the one to be fol lowed if many of our present unemployed and particularly young aggressive men looking fruitlessly for some job in the larger cities had heeded this advice back in 1931 the depression owuld not have lasted so jong nor would our re lief bills have been so high it is very doubtful whether the young people of today are radically different from their parents or grand parents rather times have changed no longer is it possible to hew new homes out of free and virgin bush no longer is it posshrte to exploit the natural resources in the wasteful ways of the last century there is less and less room for squatters less oppor tunity th the larger cities where com petition for work is getting steadily keener but new- developments have brought new opportunities which are gradually being recognized by such observers as mr babson these opportunities however are not developing in the larger centres of population but along the highways and in the smaller towns on the new roads in ontario there is still ample scope for small business such as retailing of gasoline or meals and overnight accommoda tion development of summer resorts and roadside markets hand in hand with such pursuits would be large gardens or small farms to- supplement earnings or to at least defray a large proportion of family costs in the smaller towns and villages too there is more opportunity today for skilled artisans- men who can handle jobs that require and possibly combine a certain amount of carpen try electrical services plumbing and masonry in short small one man contracting machinery by farmers surrounding the villages and towns has resulted in a growth for expert repair work in nearly every small town in this whole country today tnere is a lack of real highclass handy men whocan repair or

hair grows after death is a debatable matter and au thorities may be quoted on both sides the weight of authority in clines to the belief that growth of hair stops with death says the de troit news

creamery butter in one of canada s larger cities was recently fined 50 and costs tor representing and selling second grade butter as being of first grade quality it was branded with the words first grade section 28 of the regulations under part n of the dairy industry act states in effect that any package con taming creamery butter must in marked so as to give a true and ac curate description of the quality of the butter contained therein any province in canada can give this section of the dairy industry act and regulations the fore of law by enacting the necessary legislation this has been done by every province except nova scotia and prince ed ward island it is the intent of this law that con sumers of butter will have some guar antee as to the quality of their pur chases the terms used to describe the quality of butter are f mt grade second grade tlurd grade and below third grade these terms are conspicuously placed on the main panel or the package and hould serve as a guide to purchasers the marking of creamery butter with the grade as described has proven to be an incentive to the production of a higher quality product whcb should stimulate consumption of butter and thus prove to be a decided benefit to the dairy industry gener ally pennies saved a handyman recently journeyed to to his favorite hardware store to buy a gadget for which he had paid 90 cents in the past it was still priced at 90 cents a dialogue ensued customer is this what you would call builders hardware clerk yes customer but cud not mr dunning take the sales tax off builders hard ware should not this item be priced about a nickel lower clehk well you can have it for 85 cents a lot of new prices are com lng through and we ve not had time to post them up yet the handyman used to be a cynic and when he used to be a cynic he would have classed this retail pricing as profiteering but cynicism being old fashioned he concluded that the harassed retailer was merely trying to maintain a profit on items bought be fore the 8 per cent sales tax was re moved he probably will succeed in a meas ure for the reason that the vast ma jority of people who buy gadgets in hardware stores do not know that there ever has been a sales tax con cealed tn the retail prices and if they never knew it was there they are not likely to know that it was re moved which is another illustration of why people who must impose taxes are definitely in favor of taxes of which the general public is not aware the printed word situation this actually happened in a tonge street toronto shoe shop a week or so ago a young woman and two de lightful children visited the shoe store and the inwi entertaining the children asked the little boy where be came from st thomas was the answer the salesman hap pened to come from st thomas him self so he asked the woman how is mitch s onion farm coming along oh pretty well was the answer and what about that hospital he has been talking about building for years will he ever get around to that asked lln inlmiimi lij way of conversation oh i thlrdcbewflun good time replied the customer then just as the trio were leaving ha turned to the little boy again and what is your name peter hepburn replied the child stoutly and was the salesman a face red i poliomyelitis season is here utmost care must be taken where infantile para lysis is suspected- how to prevent crippling the seasonable outbreaks of in fantile paralysis are not far distant the affection may be suspected when there is fever headache irritability vomiting tremor of the hands and especially a tender and stiff neck which makes it impossible for the child to touch his knee with his chin in all such cases the diagnosis should at once be confirmed by the removal of a small quantity of the spinal fluid for examination advises dr john w s mccullough dph thus far there is no specific treatment nor is there any generally acceptea preventive spray not much good while there is no valid objection to the use of a onepercent zinc sulphate solution in the nasal cavltx when given by a competent nose specialist there is no satisfactory evidence u show that this procedure has any ef fect in preventing polio with reference to the use of con valescent serum the official ontario report 1937 indicates that the pro portion of cases showing recovery from paralysis was considerably greater among those paralystlcs who received serum than it was among those who did not receive serum and that the proportion of cases showing recovery from paralysis was greater still among those paralytics who celved serum within 48 hours of onset rest la imperative there is ample evidence that rest and immobilization of paralysed legs and arms have materially lessened the hi effects of infantile paralysis so important is this rest that it is usually far better to leave the child at home when the disease is first sus pected than to remove him any great distance to a hospital particularly if the move is a fatiguing one the one thing that must not be permitted tn the early stage is the use of massage manipulation electricity or of any thing that excites muscular action in the affected area how often i wonder when we use that most useful little gadget the zipper and incldently bless it for its usefulness that has found its place on dresses suits purses in fact every thing that is meant to stay fastened do we ever give any thought to the man who invented it very few people eveofiknow who he is and as is often the case with inventors he never made a penny out of his invention eos name was michael pay a hungarian and he died twenty years ago every one in hungary is familiar with the name and he will be rememebered as the man who gave the world one of its simplest yet most useful gadgets and got no reward others might have made a million out of such an invention but michael fay got abso lutely nothing it was not that be did not want money for it but drcum stances were agamst him he invent ed the zip just at the beginning of the great war and it was given to the government because toe war ministry wanted to attach it to the military boots that were being made pay joined the austrbhungarian army in 1914 when he was still a young man he did not return when all the trouble was over his family thought of the invention and started to make inquiries was the zip not worth something they had papers and letters but no money was forthcoming as to michael pay himself what sort of man was he briefly hewss a painter poet writer actor inventor hehad a mind that would not resv amongst other inventions that he brought out was a pedal change gear tor bicycles and he also discovered a special glassy paint for colouring photographs he has left behind htm in addition to his inventions some fine paintings and poems sketches and mechanical drawings when next you pull your zipper think of him gardening notes work never finished the gardeners work never is finish ed no sooner has a plant developed than every effort must be made to maintain it at the peak for as long as the natural limitations of the species permit at that time more than ever skill the practical appli cation of knowing how is the deter mining factor in success fortunately there are many loca tions where the gorgeous flowerladen spikes will develop to perfection even with little aire the object then is to insure continued success this calls for close attention to the needs of the plants since insect and plant diseases ever are lurking to destroy them the food balance of the soil also is likely to be dlstrubed feeding in summer the feeding of garden plants dur ing summer usually is referred to as top dressing because the plant food or fertilizer cannot be worked deeply into the soli now without causing consid harm to many roots never apply any fertilizer or plant food while the soil la dry always give good watering and after the surface- moisture has drained away apply the food or fertiliser to the soil around the plants keep it away from all parts of the plants including the base of the stem since many kinds particularly the highly concentrated fertilisers exert a caustic action on plant tissues hoe the material lightly into the soil surface and give prolonged watering to dissolve the food and carry it down to the roots beady for ftower shews now is the time to apply light feed ing to plants of all kinds that are be ing grown for the fall flower shows regardless of the type of plantfood it will be found a good practice to spread it over several feedings rather than one heavy application needless to say the ideal time to feed any garden is just before a rain or if artificial irrigation is present to wat er the food in immediately after ap plying if you must use element high in nitrogen go easy for hot weather and nitrogen often will upset your best calculations well balanced foods are safer at this mason and will return the greatest dividends
