canadian weekly newspapers association and toe ontario quebec division of the cwjfa thfe etperjjowfo industry of canada the editors corner alesson from the plowing match we have kept it clean there is nothing questionable here not a sideshow all is educational and wholesome those were the words used by j lockle wilson grand old man of the international plowing match as he proudly viewed the thousands gathered at st thomas to make tills years match a recordbreaker for ooth entries and attendance wise words those and words backed up by jact because statistics show that the international plowing match draws the biggest crowds of any rural went in ontario perhaps the boards or many of our fall fairs who have turned their fairs into carnivals on the assumption that this is necessary to draw the crowds might take a lesson from the international the fact that thousands of people from all over the province flock to the inter- inatlonal plowing match every year should prove that rural people still respond most strongly to a wholesome appeal we nvd our own example of this in geor e own last month when the carjdval people pulled up stakes early in the afternoon disgusted with a crowd which would rather view the horse races the show animals and the hall exhibits than spend their time and money around the gambling board is this a hint was lb coincidence or a gentle hint which prompted a friend in town to hand in this one last week the frosty nights the frosty nights have ccme again and at this time of year those ingle guys who sleep alone prance round upon their ear they pull the bedding quickly back ana then they tumble in roll up into a little lump their knees up to their chin and then are heard to say just loud enough to near by george this thing has got to stop before another year commerelalleatlon of the natural re sources offtoquntry is often mimical to conservation an exception to this rule is tlv treatment of american si ders which are actually receiving ad ditional protection through industrial development the growth of the can aduui eldrdown industry will un doubtedly result in an increase in trie number of eider ducks along the north shore of the gulf of st lawrence and the coastal areas of northern canada this inthistry though still in its in fancy may yet attain the importance of a similar industry developed in ice land norway and greenland elder down is collected from tfcsj- nests ui the elder ducks during troj lncubption period the female eiders makerjie nests and line them in part with sort gray down from their own bodies this down is usually collect ed fron each nest on two occasions a few days apart in some cases it has been found profitable to gather down firm a nest three times during the incubation period when the mother duck has no more down for her nest she covers her eggs wltn leaves or dead grass which seems to meet her requirements satisfactorily gathering the down does not as one may suppose disturb the mother bird unduly or pause her to abandon the nest among the thousands of nests in certain parts of canada from which down has been removevl dur ing the incubation period there have been found less than a doaen in which the eggs subsequently lolled to hatcn it is safe to conclude therefore that the gathering of down seldom if ever causes the incubating elder to desert her nest or prevents normal hatching of the youngs provided that from the nest llmit uk the sr has de production of eiderdown in can ade during 1938 was just under 160 pounds while this quantity is small in comparison with the production of

crowd voiced theii approval in no uncertain terms now the party has been arranged and luckily it falls on a night when people ar in a celebrating mood a society for the deaf it is interesting to note that an organization has recently comi into existence which has for its work the helping of those who are handi capped by defective hearing there has long been felt a need for an organization of this kind and the dominion government has granted a charter to the national society for the deaf and hard of hearing the society alms to adopt every possible means to stimulate scientific effor in prevention of deafness and conservation of hearing to extend the knowledge and use of lipreading manual language and approved mec hanical aids to hearing to print and distribute pamphlets and periodicals useful to the deaf and the hard of hearing to give advice counsel and assistance of every kind and to promote the higher education employ jment and social wellbeing among both adults and children whose hear ing is impaired j we commend this organization to our readers and trust they may give it their strong support whenever opportunity is offered our weekly poem all this and heaven

required to report annually in writ lng to the department of mlns and resources the amount of cleaned eld er down that he has collected and what disposition he has made of it thui canada again furnishes new sources of raw material with which to replace supplies hitherto received in part fron a country now under ger man control the expansion of the elaer down industry in the far flung coastal areas of northern canada will materially assist in broadening the basis of subsistence for the native population in this region and is there fore similar in character to the rein deer industry it will at the same i time serve as a conservation measure not only for the eiderducks but for to other wild creatures on the elder down production areas because any shooting there would tend to
