THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., JUNE 24th, 1937. Arousing Child's Interest in Work It's One of the Many Duties Parents Must Undertake To get children to tackle a job often takes all the ingenuity the mother can summon, not because they are children, but because they are human, and for every child who hates to pitch in, there is his counterpart in the adult world. There are two kinds of work, the routine occupations of daily life that become second nature and require no particular shove, and the extra-routine tasks that take will and determination. Now, all children will do the former rather willingly, according to training. Nothing becomes routine, or habit, unless repeated until it becomes part of life. But the trouble with the exceptional job is legion. School, errands and a few easy chores comprise the child's usual program. Such things are good for him, for otherwise, he would never establish any work habit at all. He is likely, however, to consider any added task outside of his expected responsibilities an imposition. There are several ways of getting 'round his prejudice, but each mother will have to study her child's disposition and reach deep into his interest and emotional make-up. Weird Collection Shipped to C.N.E. Zoo There is now being assembled in Georgetown, Demerara, South America, a large consignment of strange animals and birds for the children's zoo at the Canadian National Exhibition. Native hunters and trappers have been engaged for months in the rounding up of the collection. It will include giant ant-eaters, jaguars, tapirs, many specimens of gaily plu-maged birds and a wide variety of reptiles. A feature of the collection that promises to "steal the show" as far as the children are concerned is a shipment of tiny marmosets, smallest of the monkey family. The consignment comes in compliance with the request of William Charles, Canadian representative of Booker Bros. & Mc-Connell, Limited, of Georgetown. After the Exhibition the animals and birds will find a home in the River-dale Zoo. Mrs. W.

First Office Boy -- The boss called me into consultation today. Second Office Boy -- G'wah! First Office Boy -- The boss had a dispute with his general manager as to who was leading the league just now in batting. A fly was walking with her daughter on the head of a man who was very bald. "How things change, my dear," she said, "when I was your age, this was only a footpath." Busy Man -- Young man, my time is worth $10 an hour, but I'll give you five minutes of it. Young salesman -- In cash, sir? TRAVEL WITH A SMILE Life is like a journey taken on a train, With a stranger passenger at each window pane, I may sit beside you all the journey through, Or I may sit elsewhere, never knowing you; But if fate decree that I sit by your side, Let's be pleasant travelers, for it's so short a ride. Man -- I'm sorry, but I made it a rule never to lend money. It ruins friendship. Friend --- That's O.K. But we were never what you might call close friends, were we? The fabled goose that laid the golden egg, got killed, but the stork continues to do business unmolested. Polite Waitress -- Lovely weather we are having today, sir. Absent-minded Patron -- All right, READ IT OR NOT In Manhattan, New York, annually there are approximately 44,199 births, 37,516 marriages and 32,122 deaths. Friend -- Did some one throw an Man -- No. I just got a hair cut. Friend -- Well, sit higher in the chair nexi time. A trifle more expended for goodwill ointment and not quite so much for sandpaper would make things run a lot smoother in this old world. Boarder -- We've had chicken four times this week. Visitor -- Four chickens! This must be a great boarding place! Boarder -- Oh, it was the same chicken. Diner -- Waiter, I want fresh eggs or none at all. Waiter -- Yes, sir. We have some nice pork sausages. Social Credit Leaders G. L. MacLachlan, chairman of Alberta's Social Credit Board is shown above at left as he arrived on the Canarder Aurania, with G. F.

Raising Colts Is No Cinch As Luck Plays A Big Part (By Rusticus, in the Stratford Beacon-Herald.) Horses like men, get old. No one would expect an old man to be able to keep up his end of the day's work as easily as a young man. Nor can we expect an old horse to pull the plow up and down the field with quite the speed and keenness of a five-year-old. Just as age creeps upon a man and weakens him long ere he is quite ready to admit that he is getting old, so age comes to our horses while we still think there should be a few good years left in During the winter one of the older horses on the farm came to the end of the number of days that were allotted to him. Two more of the farm horses are getting to be very near the same age, and a day's work tells on them to a far greater extent than it does on the younger animals. At best it will be only a few more years till they, too will have reached the end of their period of labor. On farms where no colts are raised the death of one horse usually means the purchase of another and younger one to take his place. Reasonably sound and typy horses are in good demand and good prices are realized on this class of stock. In theory at least it should be a good policy to raise a few colts to replace the worn out animals. In fact, if colts are regularly raised there ought to be a horse to sell every year or so, and none of the animals need be kept until did age weakens and finally kills them. Now mind, that is all theory. It doesn't take into account the number of colts that will for some reason or other, not survive those first trying days of colthood. Raising a colt, as we understand it, is a very different matter from raising a calf. The birth of a foal is a real event on farms where they are raised. Per- haps that is because farmers riore attached to their horses than to any other class of stock they keep. This spring it was necessary for us to buy another horse. Realizing that in a few more y^rs other horses must be replaced, we decided to find out if raising our own work horses would work out^n actual practice as attractively as it does in theory. An in-foal mare was therefore purchased and a week or ten days ago, she presented us with what promises to be a fairly good colt. This youngster is the first foal to be born on this farm in the last 30 years. Normally the foal should grow and in two or three years become a valuable work horse. That is according to theory, but theory doesn't take into consideration the diseases and accidents that may be visited upon a farm horse of the youngest generation. Today though she is a play-some colt, that shares the box stall with her mother or gallops round while the mare is out on grass a few hours each day, up to date the experiment is 100 per cent successful. When you buy a horse you can always ask the previous owner what he calls it, for a horse must have a name. With the foal you raise one has th* privilege of picking a name. Now a horse does not want a big family name. Something short and easy to say is far more appropriate. Some horses are inclined to be a bit lazy at times and the driver may feel inclined to give them a yell. At such times a short name like "Mike," "Bill" or "Tom" comes in very nice. If the teamster is inclined to do a of "cussing" should one of the plow steam step over the traces, he does not want to be bothered with a "sissified" name. So here we are right up against a brand new experiment, as far as this farm is concerned, and since we bought that brood mare we have received as much advice about raising a foal as any, city man starting out farming. The general opinion seems to be that there is a good deal of luck attached to the business. Everyone expresses the opinion, that it pays to raise colts, "providing you have luck." In the next year or two we will try to find out if we have any "luck" in raising our own work horses. Must Save Trees Or Suffer For It Letter in Toronto Globe and Mail : --I feel quite sure that your excellent editorials on reforestation are doing much to awaken the people of this Province to the disastrous results of the present lack of proper control in regard to the cutting down and replanting of our wooded areas. Any one who gives any thought to the subject can hardly fail to wonder why more definite steps are not being taken by means of proper legislation to guard against the inevitable results of this situation. There is ample evidence of the benefits which have been obtained by the methods in use in some of the older countries, which have been realized in time that their forests are not inexhaustible and have taken the necessary steps to conserve them. The fact that by so doing they have placed a great industry on a permanent footing is only one, and perhaps not the most important, point. The effect on the water supply and the preserving of the soil for agricultural purposes is something we surely cannot ignore. One factor that must have a bearing on this whole question seems to me the tremendous waste occasioned by the annual cutting of literally millions of young trees for the Christmas-tree trade. One can hardly blame our neighbors to the south for being well content to allow us to denude our land as we are doing and sell them hundreds of thousands of good trees at a few cents each. It seems almost absurd that the Government should spend the money they do each year in replanting ands permit all their efforts to be more than offset by this one comparatively unimportant bit of trade.

The new flag is presented the town each year by the I.O.DE. Following the example of Scout Re-forestration Work carried ov.t for some years at Angus, Ont., the Scouts of Fort Erie this spring planted 700 young saplings near the Scout Cabin Ridge Road, and the Boys of the 1st Eeamsville Trccp planted 600 trees in 'he game preserve south of that town. 24, 1887, at 2.45 p.m., that the first transcontinental train, its engine clothed in flags and slogans, and bearing a portrait of Queen Victoria, steamed into the city. That train, 50 years ago, did a num-er of things which Vancouver should remember. It forged another link in the chain of Confederation, binding the Pacific province to the provinces the Atlantic. It tied the baby city on Burard Inlet into the Canadian commercial fabric; and gave it the start which enabled it to make a progressively larger place for itself. It gave Vancouver a position, too, on the "All Red Line", the all-British system of transportation which ties the Dominions and the Motherland together. Vancouver would do well to remember that first train, for it had not come, while there would still be a city on Burrard Inlet, it would not be Vancouver, and it would not be where Vancouver stands, but farther east, at the Inlet's head. How the difference in location would hr.ve affected the fortunes of the port It is perhaps useless to argue, but there is not much doubt these fortunes would have been affected. The city would have been farther from the sea, farther from the beaches and resorts which have developed, closer to the North Arm and the mountains, closer to the Fraser and the Pitt, closer to New Westminster. It would have been a city with problems different from those Vancouver had had to master. It would very likely have had different people at the start. In short, it would have been a different city. Jean Harlow Eight years ago she was a schoolgirl in the Middle West. The other day her death was the biggest news of the day--biggest in the sense that it interested the most people. Few, perhaps, would say that she was a great actress. Her sudden rise to fame and wealth was due not to extraordinary talent but to extraordinary hair. Because of her, every city, town and village in America had its "platinum blondes." Yet it would be unkind and untrue to deny her credit for what she did achieve. In a field where many aspire and few succeed she succeeded. If the standards by which success in that field is measured are not all that philosophers think they ought to be, it is fair to remember that she did not set those standards. Her "public"--which seemed to have included most of us--set them, and rewarded her because she met them. The Skunk as a Pet . . . And the skunk, whatever his virtues, is not just the kind of a pet one would like to have running around the garden. He is reputed, among other things, to be a great raider of chicken-coops. It is with his bad habits, not his virtues, that we have unfortunately become familiar in this province. At the last session of the Legislature there was a somewhat heated debate as to whether the Minister of Agriculture was not being "gypped" in paying the provincial bounty on skunk snouts bootlegged in from the other provinces. This was a question affecting solely the value received from the money expended. Nobody suggested that the bounty should be abolished for the skunk's benefit.-- Charlottetown Guardian. He Lost His Kilt - Like- all &ig!is&--efw4s,-l Coronation crowd maintained its reputation as the most good-humored in the world. It laughed at everything, even when messages came through the police loud-speakers asking for lost children to go to the nearest street corner, statue, or to the police station where their anxious parents were loking for them. The most humorous episode, however, of the whole celebration occurred at Oxford Circus, where a braw Highlander in a kilt decided that he would descend the escalator sitting. He got half way down and then, there was a ripping noise. His kilt had got caught in the stairway and parted company with him! The crowd roared. The Highlander remained seated and he did not move again until somebody brought him a mackintosh!--Vancouver Province.
