THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 4th, 1937 OKE CANADA THE EMPIRE THE WORLD AT LARGE of the '■ PRESS CANADA Giving Nature a Chance At the convention of the Ontario Hunters' Game Protective Association in Toronto one enthusiastic delegate said he was to embark shortly upon an experiment to show how a countryside can be made to produce wild life. He stated that his work would centre in King Township, near Toronto. There are few people in Ontario who will not wish him well. The more of wild life this Province possesses the greater will be the influx of tourists, some to shoot during the hunting season, more to operate cameras at other times. Someone has said that tourists are more interested in live deer and rabbits, and partridges and pheasants, than in dead ones, and this being so we should have in Ontario more of these animals and birds, pi >s the wild duck and the wild goose. See what a public attraction Jack Miners' sanctuary is!--Renfrew Mercury. Diphtheria Clinic Dr. C. J.

Worth Preserving The gift of Henry Ford, a complete 3et of the famous old McGuffey readers, for so many years in common use in the schocls of the United States, has been presented to the library of the University of Western Ontario. These reprints, published at the expense of tho motor magnate, will thus be available to show future generations what and how their ancestors first learned to read. We hope that the same thing is being done for the readers which used to be employed in tho schools of Ontario. Educationists of the future will lose something if they are not familiar with the adventures if Sam and Ned at the dam, the visit of May and Ann to the woods where the sap was being gathered and boiled, the sad story of what befell Hen's net kid when it was attacke i Ned's dog, and the gay ride of' fori and Ann in the gig.--Brockville recorder.

Red Flannel To help 'put them over" (the red doo dads we mean)--the fancy name of "snuggles" has been coined for them. But red woollies by ony other name will still be just red woollies. The motive for the throw-bacK to Victorian days is that girls and women are taking more to the outdoor life in Winter, and as silks and satins are not very warm, the sensible thing is to revert to thick, serviceable undies. The new "snuggles" are like the old-fashioned bathing suits, too. They are all of a piece extending from the neck to the ankles and are intended to protect the feminine epidermis from the consequences of a tumble into the snowbanks when ski-ing or skating. Silkies would not do that.--Stratford Beacon-Herald. F.pic of the North An epic of the north marked by remarkable endurance and friendly devotion, and in which the airplane played a part as it does so often in that region, comes from Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba. A man died and his friend determined that he should have Christian burial. It was a hundred miles to the nearest settlement. The friend set out through the wilderness and 24 days later arrived at his destination. The despatch tells he encountered blizzards and for days at a time had to seek what shelter he might from the force of the storm. Through forest and over frozen lakes he fought his way and eventually triumphed. Then an airplane took off and returned with the remains of the dead man. As an illustration of stark courage and of devotion to a friend this man's record stands high in the annals of a region where these sreat virtues are conspicuous.---Saint John Telegraph-Journal.

The clausj leaves the half million dollar residue of the eccentric lawyer's estate to the mother giving oirth in Toronto to the most children within 10 years from Millar's death as shown by registration under the Vital Statistics Act. Appeals of I. F. Hellmuth and Samuel Factor, on behalf of relatives attacking the validity of the clause on the grounds that it offended against public policy, and of John R. Cart-wright on behalf of Mrs. Pauline May Clarke, were dismissed. In delivering the judgment of the full court Chief Justice N. W. Rowell indicated the findings were unanimous. He pointed out that Mr. Justice Middleton had held that in the clause under consideration the word "children" meant legitimate children and did not include illegitimate children. Relax Restrictions on Lumber _ Exports REGINA.--A bill to relax restrictions on shipments of timber from Saskatchewan for pulp and paper manufacturing was given second reading in the Legislature this week. The bill would enable the Province to salvage burned-over timber that is fast deteriorating.

The bill would restrict shipments to timbers that would deteriorate rapidly. Need Riot Says Mother J(MrSW i8C»i here brought Mrs. Morley Spratt be-' fore the Fort Erie board of education with '»-e remark: "What we need is a riot like in Guelph in our high school." If such a riot occurred, she said, there would be an investigation "and cleaning up." She said her son had to stand in a hallway for 35 minutes one day because he misbehaved. Principal H. E. Thompson said Spratt's teacher found him shooting paper balls with an elastic band. H« said the case was being investigated Toxoid Campaign RICHMOND JlILL. -- Within th next few weeks it is expected thai every school child and every pre: school child in this village will have received the complete course of anti-diphtheria toxoid.

OTTAWA. -- Leading textile manufacturers contend that the new tariff policy, granting more favorable terms on cotton and wool to British producers, will seriously injure the Canadian industries. On cotton gabardines from Britain, the duty is being reduced from 22 1-2 to 12 1-2 per cent; on woven fabrics of cotton there is a reduction from 15 to 12 1-2 per cent; on handkerchiefs from Britain the duty is cut from 25 to 15 per cent; on woven fabrics for covering books it is reduced from 25 to 15 per cent; on rovings, yarns and warps of vegetable fibres, Canada cuts the duty from 20 to 17 1-2 per cent; on rovings, yarns and warps wholly of jute, the reduction is from 27 1-2 to 25; on cordage from 20 to 17 1-2, on woven or braided fabrics from 25 to 22 1-2; on linen fire-hose it is reduced from 25 to 15; on clothing, wearing appairel and articles made from woven fabrics, and all textile manufactured of vegetable fibres, but not containing wool, the duty on British goods reduced from 25 per cent plus 3 cents per pound specific duty, to 25 per cent. The specific duty of 3 cents per pound which Mr. Bennett introduced is completely discarded. Duty Abolished On British woven dress linens, Canada completely abolishes the restricted free entry into the United Kingdom for all products except eggs, poultry, butter, cheese and other milk products, with regard to which certain reservations made in the old agreement are continued. Broadly speaking, unrestricted free entry of all other Canadian products is of estimable benefit not only to the agricultural industry of Canada, but to mining and manufacturing. It means continued free admission of Canadian wheat into the British market, and this item alone accounted for $154,000,000 last year. It includes wheat flour, barley, oats and other grains and grain products of which Britain bought more than $20,000,000 from Canada last year. It provides for preferred admission of Canadian apples, tobacco, fruits, bacon and hams, of which Britain took some $30,000,000 last ye«r. It means $60,000,000 to $70.-OOu.iT-ro on--rmirerals and metal products, about $3,000,000 worth of automobiles and $5,000,000 to $1,-000,000 of automobile products, including nearly $3,000,000 on rubber boots and shoes, based on last year's exports. Britain guarantees to Canada . margins of preference on a scheduled list, including lumber and wood products, which guarantees an annual market of $25,000,000 or more, and preferential entry for Canadian salmon and other fish, which means not less than $5,000,-000 per annum to Canadian producers. Another important concession guarantees Canada against any increase in the British duty on motor cars and parts. In this connection, it has been agreed that the Empire content requirement will not be raised above 50 per cent. This is of immense importance to the Canadian automobile industry, since it means that 49 per cent, of the content of their vehicles may be of American origin and they will still qualify for tariff preference in the United Kingdom. Of major importance to Canadian farmers and packers is the assurance Britain gives of the opportunity for expansion of bacon and ham exports/ to the Old Country to the annual maximum of 280,000,000 pounds. The British market took $25,000,-000 worth of these Canadian products last year and the quota leaves ample room for enlargement of this trade in the next three and a half years. The new pact also safeguards Canadian exports of cattle and meat within the framework of the United Kingdom program for regulation of meat supplies. Pennies Provide Marriage Licenses ROCHESTER, Ind.-- Two young couples had to wait an hour while County Cerk Kline Reed counted the 936 pennies they gave him for two marriage licenses. Aline Fred, 19, bride of Ralph Frederich, 24, and Veda Rouch, 18, bride of Harold Showley, 20, said they saved the pennies "just for "Beyond sufficient incomes what can you do with more money except give it to the government?"--Sylvia Sidney.
