ORONO WEEKLY TIMES Vol. 2 No. 37. ORONO. ONT.. THURSDAY, OCT. 6, 1938. Subscription, $1.25 Per Year Brings Honour To Durham County In Egg Laying Contest Gibson Farms Secures Second Place Among Twenty-one Contestants PLAYERS THAT WERE PLAYERS W. S. Hall, Of Oakville, Only Twenty-Seven Points In The Lead 'This week marked the close of the Eighth Annual Egg Laying Contest 'conducted iby the Dominion Department of Agriculture at Har- row, Ontario. Pens of ten birds «each were entered and accepted front rtwenty-one breeders. Weekly reports emanate front the •contest each week, arid although the 'Gibson Pen never fell below sixth â- place all year, they were not consid- ered definitely in the money until «.bout a month ago when they see-m- -ed to “snap out” of an early August /slump, and pull up rapidly, until 1st place was even dangerously threat- ened. The birds were not given ar- tificial light during the winter, but â- after a strong start last October and November reached their real peak in March and April, hitting 78 per â- cent, production. The pen average was 28.6,3 eggs and the high bird in the Gibson pen reached 304 eggs in fifty-one weeks, which was twenty- four eggs above her nearest rival, therefore being the only bird at the •contest to lay over three hundred •eggs. These birds are now home again at 'the Gibson • Farms and the public are «cordially invited to call and see them. Don has received ninny tempt- ing offers for these birds but he sim- <y réf uses to part with them, a:? they "will be used next spring to reproduce their kind so that the flock as a whole will benefit and so that -chick custom- ers will be, more than ever, sure of their purchase from the Gibson Hantis. In 1987 only four hens in â- Canada landed in the three hundred class and one of Don’s hens was one to attain, this high standing. !A neiw pen g«oes forward to Harrow this week for another fifty-one week Marathon, and we sincerely hope that Don will this time be victorious and win this coveted position, This is the first time in ten years or more that a pen of hens from Durham Go. has .com e so- close to the top in the Egg Laying Contest. -W. S. Hall, of Oak- ville captured first plaice with 2402.2 priints, while the Gibson Farms re- ceived 2375.6 points.

It will he interesting to note that the White Leghorn Pens that are considered heavy layers,' are reclining at the bottom of the list, while the Barred Kotiks wore very much to the fore. With the progress of time old ball players, along with other things in general are forgotten and cast into the discard and new players' take their places and make history in the sporting world of the present day, Tlfe following clipping was brought in this office this week with reference to the batting averages of the Orono ball team of sixteen years ago when they were playing in the Durham and Ontario. League. Leading the list we find our popu- lar hardware merchant, “Bud” Rolph with a batting average of .387 and in the catching line we doubt if any catcher, since or before, could surpass the enviable record of J. J. Cornish, our genial grocer. Mr. Orme Gam-shy, Orono’s sport king, was the eoalch for this team that came very close to 'Win- ning the championship. Following is the article of which we are referring to : ORONO PLAYERS GOOD CLOUT F.R.S The averages of the Orono ball team of the Durham and Ontario League show that the members of that team, were consistent hitters dur- ing the season, no less than seven being in the coveted 300 or better class. Records of all games with the exception of the last one played with Osliawa Motors were kept. Jack Cornish, the Orono catcher, went through ten games with only one error, and he bad 136 put-outs to his crédit. Andy Somerville, also had a most successful season on the mound. In the sixty-nine innings lie pitched Somerville had 102 strike- out to his credit, which is a, re- markable record. Cameron -and Rolph bad a close race for batting honors, the latter leading with .387.

Until the voting in -disputed areas is over, it, is difficult to say what each stands to gain. But Germany gets the lion’s share. Here is an estimate of some ..of her gain's : From 75 to 100 per cent, of Ozechosiotiakia’s rich textile indus try. About 90 per cent, of the repub lie’s porcelin and mineral oils indus try. Glass, 86 per cent ; lignite, paper and cement, 80 per cent; ore smelting and electro-technical goods, 70, coal, 66; chemicals 60, and sawmills1 55. Germany’1® territorial acquisitions at Czechoslovakia’s expense cover the frontier regions of the south, west and north through rugged for- ested territoryâ€"a line approximate- ly 500 miles long. ‘Four world famous spasâ€"Karls- bad, Marienlbad, Ftan-zenbad and Toplitzâ€"frequented by many North Americans and European royalty are to be incorporated in the Ger- man Reich. The same fate is in store for the famed Joachimstal radium mine, the most important in the world be- fore radium was discovered in. the Belgian Congo and later in the Canadian northwest. Joachimstal produces from' 1.4 to 2.4 grams of radium annually. Lignite mines erf Northern Bo- hemia â€" now used hv the Skoda Arms Works in Czechoslovakia â€" will become German with their an- nual output of 16,â- <)()(},009 tons. -Most important lignite deposit, known- as the Breux-Teplitz-Komotiau Basin is estimated to contain more than: 10,000,000,000 tons. Lignite is im- portant in the production of syn- thetic benzne, and hence is of great value to Germany. By the; boundary revision Czecho- slovakia stands to lose about a quar- ter of ‘her forests.

Ewart Hannah, Front Street, Belleville, met death on Monday in thfae flaming cab of his transport which crashed- off the highway at the Kingston Road crossing, two miles east of Oolbourg. His compan- ion, Barry McCreary, also from 'Belleville, escaped injury. â- Hannah was. in charge of a large Canada Transport Company tractor and trailer and w‘as travelling west. The vehicle passed over the d-oulble CJN.R. tracks when the driver ap- parently lost control at 10 a-.m. on dent- and went to the assistance of the men. He spoke to Hannah, who was pinned so tightly in : the ruin- ed cab that he could not move. Mc- Creary’s feet were also caught but he was able to extricate himself in time. Apparently escaping from the gas tank through cracks believed result- ing from the force of the crash, the .machine« with its load of cheese burst into flame and Hannah died before he could be assisted effective- ly. The fire was still, burning at Permanent cure Claimed For Hay Fever And Asthma Monday morning. The machine noon on the same day. McCreary swerved into a deep ditch on the told the section man that he was south side of the highway, crossed 1 asleep at the time of the smash, be-' the C PjR. tracks and came to rest; ing awakened, by it. He could give with the trailer wheel on the rails, no reason for the accident. A C.P.R. freight train, No. 903, engineer -0, Bedford and. conductor G. A.

Hannah is a married man with a wife and six children residing in Belleville. McCreary is also a resi- dent- of Belleville. At last it is claimed that a cure has been found for Asthma and Hay Fever. At present six of the seventy patients now receiving the Duke- Fingard treatment for nay fever and asthma at the College street clinic was discharged on Saturday, accord- ing to David Fingard, co-discover- er of the treatment. Two of the six so-called “hope- less’ cases say themselves that they are now cured. After two years of practical test- ing of the treatment in England and Western Canada and a shorter .per- iod in Toronto, Mr. Fingard now claims iit is proven successful in. making permanent cures. The Tor- onto clinic was recently granted a hospital license by the Ontario De- partment of Health. The formula for the treatment discovered by Mr. Fingard and his uncle, the late J. J. Duke, has been placed in trust, and is riot ‘being commercialized, states Mr. Fingard. “Had I commercialized it I would have been a rich man to-day,” lie. said. “I preferred to give it- away â€"and I have had to tight harder to give it away than I would have had to fight had I tried to sell it.” Most medical men will "ag^ee with Mr. Fingard that hay" fever and allergic asthma, have as their basic cause, a sinus infection, In other words, Mr. Fingard argues, if the sinus infection is cured, or where there has not been any, no one will suffer from hay fever or allergic asthma. Many ,attempts have been made in the past, to perfect a satisfactory method of inhalation treatment, but up to. the Duke-Fmgard discovery all were disappointing. Tilt that treatment was discovered it had been impossible /to prepare a com- bination. of ingredients possessing the necessary -curative properties, which would injure the delicate tis- ues of the nose and throat. Mr. T hike and Mr. Fingard did discover such a combination. Their treat- ment is the result, The actual treatment is simplicity itself. The patient is placed in a room which is maintained at a tem- perature of between 70 and 80 de- grees. An apparatus fitted with an electric fan draws » fresh air from the outside through a. sealed orifice. The air is first dried, after which it is warmed and, then paissed over a, series of trays containing the medication. Finally it is, passed in- to the room, where the _ pa tient breathes the no t-/ump3easiant mixture of air and gases: Alnd, be it noted, the patient may lie in bed, -sit up, walk around, or resort- to any form of work or recre- ation according to his degree of, physical fitness, ‘Many business men carry ori; their correspondence while taking their treatment which may last anywhere from three to sixteen hours, depending on the condition of the -patient. , Kenneth Brown, the seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fried Brown, of Morris'll, was killed when he ran in front of a car driven by W. R. Scott, of Na'panee. Mr. Scott, who reported to thé po- lice, tried to reach Dr. Vivian of Port Hope with the injured boy but death intervened before the journey was completed. According to the -story told the po- lice by Sfcott, the boy along with tw.o other companions . were -playing on the shoulder of the highway and that he darted into the path of the on- coming car, giving the driver no chance whatever to stop. He received multiple head injuries. J. Dalian tyne, driving iminedkciv behind the ‘Scott vehicle, corroborated ‘Scott’s story of the accident to the police. 'Buttons on small children’s ; clothes should be from three-quarters of an inch to an inch and a quarter in diameter, because those sizes are most easily buttoned by children. ‘Clarke District L.O.L. was enter- tained on Monday evenng by Orono Orange Lodge No. 409, with mem- bers present from Newcastle, Ken- dial, Cowanriile and Newtonville. The first part <rf the evening was de- voted to the business of the local lodge, then three members, two from Orono -and one from Newcastle were elevated from the Orange ter the Blue Degree with the Orono de- gree team exemplifying ‘the work wihich was -carried out in wonderful fashion. After the work was completed the lodge was closed and refreshments served and a social time was spent together. * Wor. Brio. W. J. Riddell acted as toastmaslfer for the evening and call- ed on- Bro. S. Littlewoo-d, County Master for Ontario North, to say a few words. Rev. Li titlewood said he wa s pleas- ed to be present ait their meeting and was highly pleased with his re- ception here, that it was the first time he had attended a. lodge meeting here but hoped t-o attend many more and tlm.it he would have to transfer to Orono lodge later on. He highly complimented the Orange degree team, on their work in the Blue‘ De- gree for the efficient manner in which it was -executed, that in his eighteen years as a member he had never seen the degree exemplified as it was by this team. There was something to it that caught the eye, that it was more of a military style and everything was in harmony, their dress, the step, and also the handsome looking men. He then told of Orangeism and what it stands for, .also what it has to do. He said there were plenty of resources at hand in the Orange Order to ad- vance the ideate of Protestantism and of bringing out high ideals. He said there was more to it than just aitending ito this business- side of the lodge, and that the Orange Or- der would have to work together and in harmony to show that they are Standing behind each other for their principles. ‘Mr. Fred Bowen thanked the lo- cal lodge for the invitation extend- ed. to Newtonville Lodge 211.
