THURSDAY, JULY 16th, 1936 LT SE. ee TAUB AC EY BOUL RelA N " od : The Ottawa Spotlight t By Wilfrid Eggleston a Ottawa, July 14th--James R. Murray, chairman of the Cana- dian Wheat Board, is selling grain these days, and the pros- pects are the government wiil get tid of practically all its big «carry-over from the days of the former board under John I. Mc- Fatland as chairman. The wheat is being sold at current rates, as it has been the policy of the gov- ernment and the Murray board since its appointment last De- cember. There will be no hold- ing off from selling to get an even higher price. The govern- ment's policy is to get the carry- over out of the way of this year's crop. The prospects of this year's crop are not bright. It may be below 200 million bushels, compared with about 265 millions last year. The price, rising sharply for some time past, may reach around $1 per bushel. Where the drought is causing such damage, the fed-| eral government will have a re-| lief problem this fall and winter of considerable proportions. The government has decided to contribute up to $50 each on dug outs on the Prairie Provinces for watering livestock. Already over 3,000 applications have been re- ceived for such assistance, most- ly in Saskatchewan and south- western Manitoba, since Alberta irrigation schemes provide water there. John Vallance, chief fed- eral government officer on Prai- rie drought rehabilitation works, with headquarters at Regina, is in charge of the dug out and other allied works. ( Justice W. F. A. Turgeon of Saskatchewan has been named royal commissioner to investigate} all phases of Canada's wheat | problems. Col. the Hon. J. L. Ralston, K.C., Montreal, sotme Liberal minister of national de- fence, will assist Justice Turgeon as counsel. Justice Turgeon is -now in England and will visit several European countries to investigate marketing conditions there. Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Do- minion minister of agriculture, who sailed for England on Satur- day, will consult with Mr. Tur- geon while they are both abroad. Announcement has been made that the Dominion government will appeal to the Privy Council in London from the decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada on June 17 last with regard to the validity of the Employment and Social Insurance Act, the Weekly Day of Rest in, Industrial Under- takings Act, the Minimum Wage Act and the Limitation of Hours of Work Act. Certain of the Provinces, particularly British Columbia, are appealing the de- cisions touching the validity of the Farmers Creditors Arrange- ments Act and Section 498a of the criminal code providing penal- ties for certain business practices. No appeals will be taken to the Privy Council by either the Do- , Minion or any of the provinces touching the Natural Products Marketing Act and the act set- ting up the Fair Trade and In- dustries Commission, both of which were held beyond the jur- isdiction of the federal parlia- ment by practically unanimous decision of the Supreme Court here. The government will like- ly bring in a modified .marketing act of its own next session, cal- culated to be within the jurisdic- ol bd i tion of the parliament here. a F The death of Hon. P| J.

Reports from various sources intimate that Great Britain is fortifying an emergency route to the East which will be around the Cape of Good Hope. This route is not dependent upon such bottleneck navigation routes as the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. keting matters, and Hon. Ernest Lapointe, minister of justice, Capt. the Hon. Ian Mackenzie, minister of national defence, and Major the Hon. C. G. Power, min- ister of pensions and national health, as official government representatives to attend the un- veiling of the Vimy Memorial by King Edward VIII on July 26th. Hon. J. E. Michaud, fisheries minister, is on an inspection trip to the B.C. coast. Following legislation passed last session, the government has announced seven appointments in connection with pensions admin- istration, all appointees being re- turned men. Brig. Gen. H. F. McDonald, formerly of Vancou- ver, is the new chairman of the Pension Commission; Clifford B. Reilly, K.C, Ottawa, is a new commissioner; and Col. C. W.

Brouillette headed a dele- gation of the Canadian Co-Opera- tive Wheat Producers Limited, asking the government to fix a higher price than 87% cents per bushel for the new crop year. Decision will not be made, how- ever, for some weeks. FIREWORKS PICTURES Hhaabasooe CUIL In the picture at the left, an exposure of 3 seconds captured the light of the set pieces on the ground and the successive bursts meanwhile of the aerial display. An exposure of one minute recorded the buildings in the other picture. ONSIDERING that it is an ex- ceptional community that lets a summer go by without the celebra- tion of some sort of event with a display of fireworks --Victoria Day, Dominion Day, a local anniversary, convention or fair--the opportunity to obtain novel and beautiful photo- graphs of such a display is lacking to few. Don't fail to be on hand with your camera that night when the fireworks begin. Fireworks pictures are easy to take. The brilliant, gracefully fall- ing streams of light from bursting rockets and the dazzling patterns of set pieces, both can be recorded with any camera that has a "time" exposure adjustment, and when the films are developed and printed, the exclamations of "Ah! How lovely!" and "Oh! Isn't that beautiful?" are vs likely to be repeated. Also you will be proud of the pictures as photo- graphic studies. Use a large stop opening and with box cameras, the largest. Have the support that will allow its being pointed skyward. Set the shutter for "time". For the rockets and star shells, aim the camera at the space where they will explode. Open the shutter and let it stay open for two or three successive bursts, or, if the first one is large and graceful enough, turn the film at once for the next picture. You'll want variety in your fireworks pictures. Be care- ful, of course, to see that the view is unobstructed, and you must be prepared to close the shutter should any spectators get too close to the lens. For these aerial displays the chrome type of film will be quite satisfactory. For large and brightly glowing set pieces, the camera may be held in the hands and snaps taken if you use the supersensitive panchromatic lm and a large lens aperture. Otherwise set the camera for time exposure. If it is desired to bring out buildings or other objects, give time exposures even as long as a _ camera on a tripod or some firm minute. 92 JOHN VAN GUILDER.

The poison ivy plant (Rhus _ Toxicodendron), sometimes called the "poison oak", is alow creeper about a foot or less in height, It is best re- cognized by its characteristic group of three pointed leaflets pointing downwards. Contact with this plant is very liable to bring an attack of poison ivy-- technically known as dermatitis venerata. In sensitive persons one does not even need to have touched the weed. The eruption usually on the hands, arms and legs, or wherever the body has touched the plant, but the irritant sub- stance may be carried to other parts of the body. The rash var- ies; sometimes it is red and blot- chy, frequently there are little blisters and sometimes there form large blobs. There is intense itching and sometimes the eyes may be closed tightly. ' The diagnosis can only be made by a history of exposure, for many other plants than poison ivy will cause dermititis vanenata in sensitive individuals. The stin- ging nettle has well known capa- bilities and the Chinese primrose (primula obsonica) has had to be banned from many a living room. Such plants as parsnips, hya- cinths, daffodils, larkspur, toma- toes and the lilac have been found to be offenders. Not only plants but many household substances cause simi- lar dermatitis. Some people are sensitive to certain soaps, per- fumes, to dyes in clothing or to substances like turpentine. Occu- parional dermatitis is well known also. appears If in doubt about a creeping plant in the woods, remember the saying of a famous dermatologist "Tf one would only remember| worth remembering.

More towels are needed for the bathioom, and the kitchen floor could certainly Stand a coat of paint. The children need shoes. The car will soon need tires. Well, we buy a hundred new things every year. Scattered throughout Canada are manufacturers who make the very things we need. Their products are on sale in certain stores within easy reach. Certain of these products, aad certain of these stores, are espe- cially fitted to take care of our special need, But which products and which stores? Which can we afford, and which do we think best?
