THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT., MARCH 23, 1944 EDUCATION ON WHEELS When Johnny has thrilled to the last lines of Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn and when Tane has lived through exciting experiences of Anne of Green Gables, all they need do to get more literature 'is stroll down to the corner, take a street car, return their books and select others as they ride back home. This is the system which has proven such a profitable and popular innovation in the city of Edmonton, Alberta. Thousands of books are thus circulated weekly among young, and sometimes older, Edmontonians. At left a group of youngsters are seen inside the ambulating library exchanging books. Another group at right is boarding the "educated street car." WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Plasma Miracles Blood plasma, the foremost life-saver of wounded men in this war, has been split into a number of fractions, each of which is as miraculous as plasma itself. Some of the new developments were described to the American Chemical Society at New York a few weeks ago by Dr. Edwin J. Cohn of Harvard University. One fraction, albumin, does all the work of plasma and only one-fifth the volume is required. A second, one of the globulins which protect man from many dis-«ases, is the best preventive and treatment for measles yet found and is in large scale production for the armed forces. A third, made of two of the blood's clotting elements, is a new plastic, which looks like a cross between nylon and rubber, and is in tise in surgery where sheets of it have been substituted for lost lay-«rs of-lining over the brain. Two others are new substances that quickly stop bleeding in wounds. A sixth is the substance which defines the different types of blood, and is in use in military blood tfp- And these are only some of the discoveries made. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1.

Doctor: "I say your bill is twenty shillings." Aberdonian: "A canna hear ye." Doctor. "Then I won't charge you anything." Aberdonian: "Thank ye, doctor." Mulligan (to grocer)--"If Oi lave yez security equal to what Oi take away, will yez trust me till next wake?" Grocer--"Certainly." Mulligan -- "Well, thin, sell me two o' them hams an' kape wan o' them till Oi call agin."

The Old Bromide, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" was amended by one of the contributors to F.P.A.'s column in the New York World to: "All work and no play makes Jack." He was one of those drill sergeants who make basic trainee: quake in their GI brogans. One day be bellowed to his flight: "Eye; right." From the rear ranks came an unidentified drawl, "Yo sho is suh; you're a sergeant." First Cannibal (running into camp): "Is I late fo' dinna'?" Second Cannibal: "You is; everybody's eaten."

There are usually some repairs to be done. On one of these occasions huge cracks in Nelson's arm, as long as eight inches and four inches deep, had to be filled in with a special cement. The increase of heavy traffic and vibration from the tubes were not supposed, by the office _ of works experts, to be doing the column any good, and during the air raids of three years ago it must have had a further shaking. More than 10,000 training air-:raft are in use by the British , Commonwealth Air Training Plan. AUCTION SALE AUCTION SALE 73 HEAD OF REG.
