Avoid Playing on Highway Since skijoring on the highways is to be severely dealt with, it would be a good idea to take to the country. Sleigh riding on certain streets should also be prohibited, for sooner or later a serious accident is bound to happen. With roads in the condition they are motor drivers have little chance in an emergency to avoid a collision.

He is expecting to be ready for the long-sheets of "exam" papers in June. Here's wishing best luck to the win- Find Ancient Cloth In Swiss Alps Cave Explorers in the Swiss Lake Dwellers, who lived ♦en thousand years ago. have discovered pieces of cloth that are older than written history. Although obtaining such an early start, cloth-making remained for thousands of years one of the least progressive of industries. Up to 150 years ago the only known methods of spinning were by the handwheel or by the still more primitive distaff and spindle. But ever since 1707, when the Lancashire weaver. Hargreaves, invented the Spinning Jenny, tremendous technical improvements have been taking place. Today, textile manufacturering stands as one of the most progressive and . up-to-date of industries. ^ ars after Hargreaves brought spinning Jenny, a Derbyshire barber's apprentice by the name of Arkwright patented a roller spinner and set up a water mill to make cotton goods. Six years later Crompton of Bolton combined these inventions in a machine that was called The Mule. Most of the successful innovations have been broadly based on the principle of the Spinning Jenny and the Roller Spinner. The first machines set up on the North American continent were in New England n 1783. The Canadan industry got under way at a little later date, but compared to any other manufacturing industry in this coun-itjry, our cotton textile business is relatively very old. At the present time there are 106 production establishments operating in seven provinces. Although the main concentration is in Quebec and Ontario, manufacture is also carried on in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. Over 21,000 people are directly employed, of which 36 per cent are women. Many more thousands find work in supplying materials of Canadian origin, such as rayon yarns, starches, rubber thread," dyestuffs, bleaches. chemicals, oils, spools, tubes and packing materials. Supplying the industry with machinery, building and heating materials and transportation services provides occupation for a further large class of wage earners. These direct and indirect employees of the cotton textile industry form a large body of consumers of Canadian farm and other products, both the East and West. Since 1932 the total domestic market for cotton cloth has gradually increased, and tlie production of the mills has also increased. Due, however, to successive duty reductions, the Canadian mills have lost ground as compared to imports, the rates on cotton goods coming into Canada now being lower than those of any other ACADEMY HILL February 15th, .
