If You are Going To Eat Honey Better Buy Now At the r ecent Bec Keepers Con- vention at Pelee Island a tborougb survey was made of the honey situation in Ontario,. The fact was establisbed that there is not the normal supply to meet the needs of this Province and there is some hesitancy in purchasing in the hope that more honey may be availatzle. The Provincial Apiarist, Professor Townsend, herewith releases the informa- tion that there is bound to be a shortage in the coming montbs. His advice is for consumers to Purchase supplies to, meet their needs at an early date. This condition o! scarcity was so wide spread in the middle States that the American visitors to the International Convention were uoticeably.reduced, in num- bcr The Man Behind (by Joseph Lister Rutledge) It is bard te, believe t'hat our modern systems of transportation are only a century old. 0f course, individual men, had been tbink- ing o! such matters long, long beforethat. Hero o! Alexandria used steam to drive a machine, and Branca, aji Italian engineer, turned wheels with it more than three centuries ago. Captain Sa- v.ery, an Englishman, used it at about the same time, and a Century later Denis Popin, a Frenchman, tbought of the' steam Piston-and so te, James Watt ,wbere all this thinking seemed to reach a climax. It was flot much different with the motor vehicle. Eigbty years ago the German Otto produced a gas engine. Daimler, another German ,made an engine te humn petroleum ahd used, it to drive a bicycle. Butler an Englishman, Put a motor on an invalid chair fr his contribution. In bis lîttie miachine shop in Cbicopee, Mass- achusetts, Charles Duryea was fussing over a motor-driven ve- hicle for those unfortunates "1who couldn't afford a borse," and Percy Pierce, birdcage mnanufac- turer of Buffalo, was dreaming of putting an engine on a buggy and calling it a 'Pierce-Arrow." And so to Henry Ford in bis small workshop in Dearborn, Michigan and another dream, this time of a twvo-cylinder engine that just 56 ye'ars ago coughed its way down he alley and out into, Bagley Av- enue, Detroit. Another climax. Now the point wc would like to nake is that ail down through hese years of. dreaming and struggling and acbieving, nobody Paid much attention, and nobody Profited much. Englishmen pro- tested, to, the verge o! neot, against the adoption o! steam transportation. And, years later Henry Ford was to remember tat "ail the Wise people demon- strated conclusively that the gas ngine could not compete with team." Why the change? Why id the theory suddenly 4decome practical and useful and vitaly rnPortant te, human lives? James Watt and Henry Ford night only be another milestone n a story of progress but *for th)e nen behind them. Matthew 3oulton wasn't an inventer or ;cientist, but be ibelieved in Jam- ýsWatt and in the future of his team engine. And he had $150,- )0 he was prepared te risk in )acking his judgment. That made he difference between Watt and 11l those devoted men who, pre- ýded him. Alexander Malcolm- ;n was a coal dealer--didn't mow the first thing about gas !gines. But he knew Henry Ford. 7ogether they founded the vast notor industry. The money, ý2,000 paper and $28,000 cash, as secured by Malcolmson. i.

It is too be known as a "Farm Equipment Projeet" and is designecd to empbasize and teachý correct metbods for econo- mical operation and maintenance o! farmn machinery as well as safety in operation. ~'he undertaking is being spon- sored by the Junior Farmers of Ontario, the Ontario Dept. o! Agriculture, and tbe co-operating agencies will be the Ontario Rp-, tail Farm Equipment Dealer's As- sociation, Imperial Oul Ltd., and the Dept. of Public Safety, Uni- versity o! Toronto. First there will be a study sec- tion with a written "'Yes or No" examination. Following this will corne a local driving competition with farrn machnery and fnally a provincial driving competition. Regular application forms are included with the letter sent out to Joknior Farmer Clubs. It la, suggested that the final driving test be staged in conneet- ion with somne agriculturai eventi such as the local faîl fair, plowing1 A distant hum and a flashing streak in the outer sky announce another exciting Canadian achievement-a new jet plane designed and buit by Canadians-one more example of the meteoric advances made by Canadlien skills and manufacturing abilities:- In Canada, too, giant airliners, which have won international recognition, are now being built for the world's air routes of today and tomorrow;' loca rink during the wlnter "Junior Farmes have an iii] terest in many kinda of farm eqipment because they are the rnci?"al operators of it, Mr. slard says in bis letter: "It costa considerable money to pur- chase, operate and maintain and fa= accidenta take a terrific toil in life and 11mb. For these reasons the project la; designed to emphaslze and teach the cor- rect and most'econernical way o! operation and maintenance as safety with farm equipment."1 A provincial driving competi- tion with farm niachinery em- phasizing safety wll b. held In ,Toronto at tbe Collseum in Jan- uary at the. tie of meetings /of the Ontario Retail Farm Dealers, Association and the Ontario Crop Improvemnent Association, and Ontario Vegetable Growers' Asso- ciation. One boy or girl from each county will be 'eligible for the provincial contest. là Canada'S Discov.ry Was the Dawn 0f the Atomic Age Except for the persistence and imagination o! Gilbert LaBine, Canadian prospector and minmng engineer, the Atomic Age might have dawned.. elsewhere than In North America, state Francis and Katharine Drake In The Reader's Digest for September. LaBine's eventual discovery, on May 16, 1930, o! pitchblend ore deposits on the eastern shore of Great Bear Lake, camne after years o! intensive study of ores, dangerous anclunrewarding trips into the far Norh and the ex- penditure of thousands of dollars. The strike uncovered the richeet source o! radium and uranium in the world, broke the foreign radium monopoly and forced $45,000 a gramn off the price o! radium. LaBine did not realize at the time, the authors observe, the furtber power locked inside the ore which, with the spiitting of the uranium atorn fine years later, touched off the Atomic Age. Born on a farm in Pembroke, Ontario, in 1890. LaBine starting prospecting at 15, made two sul- ver strikes before he was two years older. Old timners said he had a "natural nose" for ore. But LaBine decided that he needed a mining education as well ,and proceeded to give himself one by "edging into field lectures by government experts, fingering samples in assay offices, memoriz. ing mineral maps and studying every textbook be could lay bauds on." la the next 15 years LaBine's successes in gold, silver and cop- per, and a reputation second to led to bis becoming president of Eldordo GoId Mines, Ltd. His stockholderu backed hlm on bis Great Bear Lake investigations, approving the then "1unprecedent- ed venture" of airpiane prospect- ing ln the Arctie wastes. Hispri- vate fortune, and that of bis bro- ther Charles, went into speeding up uranium productlng during the war. Without that patriotie action, it is certain that the Japa- nese surrender would.bave been delayed. WHAT OTEERS SAY Stepu Ini A Political Career (Peterboro Examiner) A person does flot %ýander into politics by accident, and more Canadians should become aware of this. There are good citizens who could excellently serve their province or country ln legisla- tures if tbey would, and would take the trouble to find out how to go abqut it. There is no single pattern, and ln citing the Rever- and John Foote's advent into poli- tics we emphasize this fact. Mr. Foote became a hero, as a1 Ï dre at Dieppe. His name wasj FULL, LXNE 0F JOHN DEERE TRACTORS- PLOWS MOWERS - ETC.

He thus caméà into the fold, and was elected. In. the Legisiature be spoke out at) times, s0 that he was not a nonen-' tity there. Wben the Frost Gov- ernment decided to dust off the,: liquor business in Ontario, what' better man could have been cho- sen-both politicaliy and practi- cally-than Major tbe Reverend.i John Foote, wbo as also a Preà,y- terian? He became a chairman of the Liquor Control Board. He is scheduled shortly to mnakb> a tour of Europe to study liquor legisiation and drinking habit. This will of course give him the' opportunty to meet poltical per- sonalities overseas, to better ac- quaint himself with international matters, and to send reports beck-- home which wilJ. receive their' mete of publicity. 1 Major Foote's political career is stili developing.
