Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 23rd, 1935 "Farming" seems to be growing into a variegated industry apart from cultivated fields, lowing herds and flocks of sheep. There are fur farms, the Japanese have gone in for pearl farming, and now there is the oyster "farm." The latter industry is being successfully extended in Eastern Canada, particularly in Malpeque Bay, Prince Edward Island, once noted for its oysters but, due to the depletion cf the beds, the output fell off. Now these beds are coming back since the inauguration of oyster culture. New Brunswick is also prominent in the oyster industry, the Buctouche oyster coming from that province, as is also Nova Scotia. It takes about 27 months for an oyster to grow from spat to marketable size, according to the Natural Resources Department of the Canadian National Railways. After fifteen mouths, those that have attained a good growth are largely immune from attacks by starfish, one of the oyster's worst enemies. Once upon a time the island of Jamaica, in the British West Indies, exported great quantities of copra, the dried meat of the Gocoanua, and rhat no further back than 1933, when 5,125,934 lbs. left the .sland, but exports have dwindled down to 147 lbs. for the past year, according to officials of the Canadian National Steamships, which maintains direct steamer connection between Canada and Jamaica. Instead of exporting her copra and importing it back again in the form of edible oils and laundry soap, Jamaica now utilizes it in manufacturing these commodities which absorbs practically the whole of the • supply. • When spring is in the air . . . and your thoughts turn to fishing . . . and all your tackle is in order . . . It's only a matter of minutes to round up a few Kindred Spirits . ». via Long Distance. • Whether it's social or business contacts, the telephone makes diem quicker and easier. See the list of rates in the front pages of your directory; you can talk 100 miles or so for as little as 30 cents. Canada occupies a prominent position in the production of electrical appliances, particularly such things as stoves, toasters, waffle irons, hot plates, etc. Her biggest market is South Africa, 41.8 per cent, of such appliances imported into that dominion being of Canadian manufacture according to the latest figures, states the Industrial Department of th: Canadian National Railways. The recent building boom in South Africa has brought about a big demand for electric stoves and rangettes. Recently constructed apartment houses in Johannesburg, of which there have been a large number, have had electric stoves and refrigerators installed. A SURPRISE SUBSCRIPTION TO THE HOME TOWN PAPER How about sending a weekly reminder to that relative or friend who has left town? You are too busy to write an occasional letter, let alone a weekly one. The home town paper will be sent regularly each week anywhere in Canada for $2.00 a year--less than 4 cents a week. THE COLBORNE EXPRESS YES, It's True That the Colborne Express is owned by an individual. It is his property and he must pay the bills and assume all responsibilities. On the other hand, it is also true that somehow or other the public looks upon the community newspaper as being partly their property. The community expects its public institutions to be defended, to be favorably reported, to be kept in good report throughout the dstrict and the Province. Churches, societies and organizations look for and expect their activities to be reported in their home paper. And the home paper does all these things--likes to do them. This being so, it is only human that the owner of, and those who are employed at, the local newspaper office should expect that all these various interests would return the compliment through giving it printing orders. If all the printing requirements of this district were to be printed in Colborne, The Express would have to more than double its present staff.

Canada is the leading supplier of pure silk hosiery to the United Kingdom market, displacing Germany . i and the United States, which only as There has been some heavy frosts; x e ' w f » .r-t-nc thP nast wePv a-nfl seed pack- .

A number of friends gathered at the home of Mrs. B. Joice and family to spend a social evening with Mr. and Mrs. C. Howard, who since have moved to Plainville. The good wishes of the community go with Mr. and Mrs. Howard in their new home. The Eddystone Dance Club held their last for the season in the School house on Friday evening. A good crowd and a good time made one feel that it is with anticipation one looks for a continuation of these dances in the autumn.

As a ratepayer we would think the men not employed on the Count: Road could be put to work on that short but dangerous strip of road known as the mill road, where th' relief work was in the winter. The condition of the road in question is very precarious. On the Provinical Highway last election time we were warned of soft shoulders. They are not so bad, but when sharp elbows, knock knees, fallen arches and pigeon toes are added--well, that's bad.
