THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT. THURSDAY, OCT. 5, r1935 EVERY DAY LIVING A WEEKLY TONIC by Dr. M. M. Lappin THE FEAR OF BEING ALONE Fear is one of the most disintegrating forces in the universe. It is also one of the most common. There many kinds of fear. Some folks afraid of the future, others fear the dark, others fear that they might become the victims of disease, others fear the company of their fellows, while there are still others who fear themselves. The last mentioned are generally afraid of being alone. They like to have .someone beside them all the time and they only feel safe when | there are other people around. | Mrs. George B. is such a person. 'When she is in the company of others 'she is perfectly all right, but whenever she is left alone for a time she begins to imagine that something is going to happen and her nerve gives away. This is a common complaint. A great many letters come to my desk, particularly from women who are in or around the forties, which voice the same complaint. Of course it is easy to say "Don't be afraid" or "There is nothing of which you need to be afraid." That, however, does not help the sufferer. Usually the trouble lies deeper and it is necessary to get at the cause of the fear and remove that before we can -hope to effect a cure. To do that it is often necessary to probe deeply into the past life. Indeed, very often one finds that the cause of fear lies away back in some early experience of childhood. In the absence of detail it is almost impossible to say just exactly what the cause is. I would like to ask my correspondent t0 go back over her life as well as and try to recall any experiences that might possibly have created her the fear of being alone. When she discovers any such experien she will probably find if she tries examine it in the light of cold reas* that, while at the time it seemed dreadful thing, it now seems trifling and foolish and that really, after all, there is nothing to fear. The only way to control the mind is to practice controlling it. Determine that you are not going to let your mind dwell on anything that is likely to be mentally disturbing. Lift y thoughts above yourself and, wl you are alone, busy yourself w some kind of work in which you deeply interested. Read a book--not one of the modern thrillers, book that is mentally stimulating and that will command your attention. You might even have one or two of the many fascinating puzzles that are going the rounds nowaday: -and -give yourself to the solving of one of these to while away your lonely hours. If you have much spare time on your hands, why not interest yourself in some kind of philanthropic or charitable work? There is nothing like doing something for others to take your mind off yourself, it, for it is true that we only life by "lo~ing" u in servic Such head noises and irregular heart beats as you complain of are very probably purely imaginary and due entirely to your own self con- BURLEY TOBACCO MARKETING SCHEME The Another View On Abyssinia With correspondents writing daily their impressions of Abyssinia, the reader has collected a more or jumbled picture.

Supposing you think from now on of your favored position--of the things you have rather than of the things that might happen and most likely never will happen. You will then see that you have much for which to be thankful. Think! How many of the things you have feared in the past have actually happened? Probably none! Then should not that be enough to show you how silly it is to go on in that state? After all, it is so foolish for, if you give yourself to fear and worry you are only sapping your energy and, if anything should come, then you will be without reserve with which to meet it. I am .sure if you will only try to look at it like that you will come to the conclusion that your present attitude toward life is foolish and change it for a better. I hope you will and I shall be interested to know how you are getting 5,986 Novels Library At Wallaceburg Presents Report For Two Months Wallaceburg -- During July and August Wallaceburg book readers took out a total of 5,966 novels from the public library, Miss Delia Gibb, librarian, reported at a recent meeting of the library board. The two months saw 4,987 fiction editions removed. Fifty-four books on general arts were taken; 23 on philosophy; 14 on religion; 268 on sociology; 234 on natural seience; 45 on useful arts; three on fine artsf; 69 on literature or philology; 36 on history 71 on travel; 16 on biography, and 146 books of reference.

During July there were ,1276 borrowers, and during August 2,179. The books kept in circulation through repair totaled 314, and the books added to the library, - Tibet*?! Canada's Prairie Provinces Ottawa, Canada--Great progress in agricultural development ha: been witnessed in the Prairie Provinces of Canada during the last 35 years. During the years 1901 1931 the area of occupied farm land in the prairie region increased from 15 million acres to 110 million acres, or more than sevenfold. In 1901 the Prairie Provinces contained 24.3 per cent of the total occupied farm acreage in the Dominion 1931 this acreage had increased to 67.3 per cent, of the total. period the improved farm acreage increased from 18.5 per cent, to 69.8 per cent, and the field crop acreage from 18.2 per cent, to per cent. The decade 1901 to 1911 witnessed the greatest expan-, due to the rush of homestead-into Saskatchewan and Alberta. Occupied farm land increased from 15 million acres to over 57 million ;. Of the improved land in the Prairie Provinces in 1931, 67 per cent, was in field crops. Farming in the Prairie Provinces comprises four more-or-less distinct types--wheat growing, mixed farm-dairying (usually associated mixed farming), and ranching. Wheat growing predominates in southwestern and central Alberta, throughout the whole of Saskatchewan except the northern and eastern fringe and the dry belt, and in southern Manitoba, although in the latter area, the proportion of other cereals and forage crops is growing rapidly. Mixed farming ii found in northern and western AI berta and in the northern and eastern parts of both Saskatchewan and Manitoba--in other words over practically the whole of the park belt. Mixed farming is also the dominant type'in the irrigated districts, greatest development in dairying has rred in eastern Manitoba, northeastern Saskatchewan and northwestern Alberta. Ranching is practically confined to the dry area in southwestern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta and to a strip of land extending from the international boundary northward along the foothills to beyond Calgary. sd every possible requisite for i sxcept i bath ites of his first visit to the law courts: "Executioners entered .and held a glowing iron on the thief's forehead, the swindler was bound hand and foot and laid on the ground.

The exception was the Emperor himself, Haile Selassie, King of Kings, Lion of Judah. He is cultured and enlightened, the personification of the modern Abyssinia that he is iirying, against almost overwhelming odds, to create. He is unique. And he is desperately, and tragically, alone. Nothing can happen without the Emperor. Everything must be planned, organized, and carried out by him. Amidst the thousands of screaming beggars, servants, parasites, soIdie^L and lazy minis.ers, amidst decayfli buildings and gorgeous gilded halls, the Emperor of Abyssinia leads a lonely life. He is the most hard-working citizen in the country, rising at a.m. and receiving the first intervie ers of the day an hour later. And he has several powerful er mies.

There is a strong Conservative wing among the . Jfesser Abyssinian chiefs who regard the Emperor, with his new-fangled ideas and his dangerous desire to abolish slavery, as a sort of homegrown Bolshevik. Then there is the Church. And as if that was not enough for any man to face, a new enemy is massing all the blessings of civilization--bombs, gases, tanks, chemicals, and shells--upon his frontiers. Mr. Farago in sizing up the chances of the two armies has some very clear Cut views: Italy's capacity to defeat the Abys-sinians is aided by the lack of rifles and ammunition at the disposal of the Negvs and the appalling difficulties of transportation owing to the almost complete absence of roads. There are also a number of chieftains who will undoubtedly go over to Italy, leaders of tribes which are not, strict-;peaking, Abyssinian at all. Again the Emperor has no medical equipment and no doctors. "We are all going out to die," said a cultured Abyssinian to Mr. Farago. On the other side of the picture are some of the difficulties which the Italians will encounter. Grim, less places. Mr. Farago took to see these tw0 provinces for himself and here is his descripti "Ogaden looks as if it had already been rent by war. There are deep ruptures n the ground that look like natural trenches, but are only the result of the perpetual drought . sand desert follows on stony desert, hush on steppeland ... in these pitiless surroundings live fierce men and wild beasts. There is ample opportunity for ambush among the rocks and cactus and the whole province is ideal for guerrilla warfare of the savage and merciless type that the Spanish peasantry employed with such deadly ef-the French invaders in the Peninsular War. And if the Abyssinian; can be persuaded by their shrewd military adviser, General Virgin, of the Swedish Army, to adopt this form of tac.ics, Italy's task will be impossible. Writes the Manchester "Some time in the eighties Gouraut, agent of the Edison-Bell Company, introduced the first phi graph into England. Queen Victoria consented to allow her voice to ■ecorded, and chose for the subject of her speech a message of goodwill t0 the Emperor Menelik of Abyssinia. This was dispatched to Abyssinia by special courier, with the instruction that when the Emperor had heard it was to be destroyed. A few days ago a record of this message was discovered in the store-is of the company in London. It covered with fungus, and so far only the words "the goodwill of my can be heard. It is hoped, however, that by a careful system of cleaning and electrical amplification the whole message will be audible. If this is achieved the sound will then be transferred from its old-fashioned cylinder to a modern disc record. An official of the Edison-Bell Company said last week: "Three cylinders of every speech were always made on the old phonographs, and we thought that all three of Queen Victoria's message had been destroy, ed. However, one has been found -- presumably the one which Gouraut kept in his possession, since all traces of the one sent to Abyssinia and Queen Victoria's copy have been lost. We are waiting now to hear what the whole message reveals. We cannot say whether the record will be sold to the public, in view of the Queen's command that it should be destroyed when the Emperor had heard it." There could not be a more appropriate moment than the present to hear an English Sovereign's message to Abyssinia. In the same oid record-box In which Queen Victoria's record lay records of the voices of Florence Nightingale, Disraeli, and Gladstone have also been found. Nightingale is speaking on nursing It is recorded in the official documents of the Edison-Bell Company that Mr. Gouraut introduced the phonograph at a dinner in London al which many celebrites were present. Among others, Gladstone and Disraeli were asked to record their voices. Disraeli spoke of "the possibilities of this marvellous speech-carrier," but Gladstone was so eloquent in his prefactory remarks that before he had begun his set speech for recording the cylinder on the phonograph was seen to be finished. Mr. Gouraut, however, was not put off by this, and called on him the next morning. He found him in bed, whence Gladstone recorded a message of thanks t0 Mr. Edison-Bell for enabling him to record "the relic of an organ the employment of which has been overstrained." Records have also been discovered of the voices of General Booth and Lord Rosebery, although it Is not yet known that these are in good enough condition for amplifying, and recording. The company hope that they may find other records made late last century, as there are still parts of their storerooms unexplored. is not fit the public trusts should be lodged in the hands of any till they are first proved and found fit for the business they are to be entrusted with. -- Mathew Th,e contemplation of celestial things will make a man both speak and think more sublimely and magnificently when he descends to human rs.--Cicero. Canada's Fisheries Show Improvment OTTAWA, Canada. -- In < with others, Canada's extensive fish, ing industry suffered as a result ol the recent world-wide trade recesu sion, but statistics for 1934 indicate that the tide had turned and some betterment was under way. Persons employed in the fishing industry in 1934 numbered 83,396 compared with 79,548 in 1933 a gain of 5 per cent. Capital investment in plant, gear, and equipment in use in the industry rose from $40,914,057 to $43,377,531, an increase of 6 per cent. Marketed value of the production from inland fisheries showed an increase of about 18 per cent., amounting to $4,780,585 compared with $4,063,358 in 1933. Marketed value of the sea fisheries production was 26 per cent more than in 1933, amounting to $29,341,386 compared with $23,433,588. The biggest single gain in marketed value in 1934 was $3,166,600, recorded by the salmon fishery. Most of this gain, or $2,998,000 was account, for by the increased output of canned salmon in British Columbia. The cod fishery, mainly an Atlantic coast fishery, contributed an additional $728,800 to the marketed value. Lobsters accounted for an extra $'45,-400 and the returns from British Columbia's pilchard industry were greater by nearly $472,500. Many other varieties in both sea and inland fisheries also made substantial gains in marketed values. Veteran Tram Driver Says Women Are Bad Pedestrians Halifax--After watching traffic from street car cabs for 42 years, grey-haired Thomas McLaughlin has come to the conclusion that women make worse pedestrians and automobile drivers than men. "The men are better drivers," he says. "A woman gets all muddled up when anything goes wrong." About women pedestrians: "They will go across the street regardless. Men are more cautious. The women seem more independent. But, of course, children take the cake. You have to watch for them every minute." The veteran tram driver should know. Since 1893 he has travelled 2,2500,000 miles to nowhere in particular, averaging around 150 miles a day. He does considerably less than that now on Route No. 2 here--82.72 s a day.
