D. Howe. Graduats of 1937 have. as many opportunities of falling into their al- lotted spheres in the life of the coun- try as graduates 20 or 30 years ago, the Transport Minister sald, review- ing work of his department as he re- turned to the University where he once taught engineering. Thousands 'of young college grad- uates were needed for the proposed Trans-Canada and Trans-Atlantic Air Services, as pilots and 'mechanics, and in the affiliated radio and meteorlogi- cal branches, he said. A service be- tween Montreal and Vancouver was expected to be inaugurated before the summer was over, he sald. The new air service would require at least 500 meteorlogical stations all throughout the country to report on weather conditions on land and in the air; radio beacons carrying a beam from coast to coast; emergency land. ing fields not more than 60 to 100 miles apart. He sald college men were required in all these branches. -- Rules For Good Health LONDON--Speaking at a Guild- hall banquet, Lord Horder, noted physician, said essentials for health were, enough - of "the right food, proper shelter, fresh air, an occupa- tion, some leisure and rooms to play.

It didn't work, and now she. feels she knows the real answer to the ages- old feminine controversy--the woman who insists that she's mixing. mar riage and a career successfully is sim. ply kidding herself. and really she's Just a dabbler at one ur the other. "Women who are married, and ia love, most often dabble in their pro- fession," asserts the pretty portrait painter, who has been called the "greatest woman painter of the day." "It seems a physical impossibility fog a wife to reconcile her marital duties and those of her career. One or the other suffers, whether outsiders are aware of it or not." ; Attractively titlan and curly-head- ed, Miss Newman explained that her own marriage was most happy up until 'the time she became absorbed in art. Then she found she was :too tired after a day's work to go out or be a charming hostess: and often she had to-go out of town to paint a por- trait just when her. husband wantel to go on a cruise or a trip to Europe. "Besides," Miss Newman continucd, "I discovered that husbands them. selves originated that old saying that a woman's place being in the home. A man wants bis wife's interests to eo centered entirely around him, He dislikes feeling that she finds work as interesting as looking after his needs, planning his meals, caring for his children He believes marriage is « full-time career in itself. And it is. No woman can be a wife, in every sense the terms implies, and have a successful career, especially if she does creative work. 'nterest Stimulated Still in her twenties, the titian- haired, blue-eyed Azadia Newman is the daughter of one of Washington's oldest snclety families. .In 1932 she was married to Willlam F. A.

Fewer Cheese Makers " Forty-eight fewercertificates were issued. to Ontario cheesemakers by the dairy branch last year than in 1986. There was a slight decrease in the number of factories, but that does not begin to account for the falling off in certificates, which is most noticeable in the category of first-class certificates. These were down from 523 to 486. Some of these makers evidently dropped Into second class, the total for which was up to 161 from-1564, That, it is said, would be due to the abnormally hot weather last summer, with consequent difficulty in turning out a first-class product. To get a first-class certifi- cate, a maker must have not less than 95 per cent. first grade cheese, and a score of not less than 95 points for workmanship.--Woodstock Sen- Repeats Daring Fp: Glenn Martin, aircraft manufacturer and one of the first flyers, leaves a China Clipper at Santa Catalina Island, Cal., after piloting it from the mainland on 25th anniversary of his first filght over same route, happy, gay, social life of a wealthy young matron, whirling along on a tide of parties and trips with her hus- band, studying painting on the side. The death of Azadia's mother, who always had been in favour of an ar- tistic career for her young daughter, caused the girl to take her painting more seriously. When she pronounced her intention of having a career, she shocke1 all who knew her, moat of family, which has been wealthy for ten generations. How- ever, Miss Newman was' to prove her: gelf to be not only an exception, but an eminently successful one, In 1936 ghe had an exhibit at thn Corcoran' Art Gallery, and the critics gave it loud praise. The same year, she had a one-man show in.St. Louis, "During that period I was striving to keep my marriage going. But it was difficult. Often I worked so late at the studio that my maid had to bring evening clothes to me there, in order that I might dress and meet my husband for social functions, "I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, making flying trips on business ouvt of town and attempting to keep up my social obligations in Washington. This brings us to an- other reason why marriage and a suc- cessful career never can be reconcil- ed. There must, in a career, be cer- tain independence in time. One must feel free to move about and uproot oneself at a moment's notice, "So, as soon as I realized conclus- ively that I could not eat my cake and have it, I had to make a chofce--~for the sake of both of us.' I induced my husband to 'divorce me."

"Why can't these girls who have more free time \than women with husbands and children learn to budget it sensibly i" By way ef explanation, my irate informant pointed out that he cer- tainly would hate to be forced to have a second date with any woman who 'spends so much time' doing her face 'and nails, taking baths, press- ing clothes and washing her hai that she never can manage to rea the daily paper, and read it daily, learn a few new facts now and then, find something interesting to talk about. Also that he would detest just as much the idea of having to date more than once an unkempt, , untidy, positively dowdy girl, re- gardles of her brains or personal charm, The . artist--the 'majority of men, in fact--want us to be clean and neat, dresed in good' taste, of course. But they have no patience with a woman who makes a fetish of and overdoes the business of beauty. If your home and time are your own once you have finished a day's work, do figure out a way to keep hair clean and shining, nails sper- fectly manicured, clothes spic and span and skin smooth and still have time to read and enjoy our leisure. And don't discuss your beauty routines with men. They want us to look alluringly lovely, but they do not want to know how we accom- plished the feat or the lurid details of what would happen if we did not use certain preparations a certain way. Cattle Exports in U.S.-Canada Trade New Record Set During 1936 -- 191,000 Head Exported The Canadian cattle trade in 1936 with the Chicago, Buffalo, St. Paul, and other markets in* the United States established a new record for recent years in volume and value, states the Seventeenth Annual Mar- ket Review, 1936, just issued by the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture. Altogether, more than 191,- 000 head, valued at about $8,679,- 000, of which 136,533 head came under the reduced tariff, moved to the United States, as compared with 102,934 head, valued "at about $5,- 935,300, in 1935. The reduction in tariff from 8 to 2 cents per pound on cattle weighing 700 pounds or over for beef purposes, and from 3 cents to 1% cents on similar weights on dairy cattle, greatly stimulated the movement, in spite of the lower prices ruling in the United States as compared with 1935. Of the quota for cattle of 700 "pounds or more, amounting to 155,700 head, Canada had about 85.5 per cent. and Mexico 13.5 per cent. - whi¢h for Canada represented about -{.her average percentage of United States importations over a number of years. Of the quota of 20,000 head for dairy cattle, all from Canada, the Dominion filled less than 30 per cent. This indicates the relative conditions of the markets in the two countries for dairy cows in 1936. United States statistics give the calf im- ports from Canada as 55,695 head. The quota of 51,993 head," limited to calves not weighing over 175 Ibs., was filled by August 8, 1936. With regard to the present year, almost twice ag many cattle and calves were exported from Canada during the first two months as dur- ing the corresponding period of 1936 and since then the exports have con- 'tinued substantially higher.

This year, Mr. Innis reports that his organiza- tion has picked up more than five hundred stray dogs and cats desert- ed when their owners moved to new quarters. In 'some cases these wretched beasts have actually been left locked up in the abandoned dwellings, certain, unless new ten- ants move in at once or somcone heard their cries, to suffer the ut- most miseries of hunger and thrist. How many of these poor creatures the S.P.C.A. has not yet found, and may- never find, nobody knows; prob- ably a lot of them. Most people will find it impossible to understand how any normal per- son can be guilty of this sort of thing, particularly as there is such a simple and practically costiess meth- od of getting rid of an animal which it may be impossible to provide for under altered conditions, or of which the owner may have quite simply grown tired. To condemn a creature which has been sheltered and fed to the wretchedness of lonliness, hunger, thirst, heat and cold- that the stray dog or cat in a big city must undergo until a merciful death releases it, is a refinement of down- right cruelty that cannot be explain- To See If Cow Birds Have Homing Instinct EDMONTON--If cow birds have ar homing instinct, 24 dark-feathered immigrants are winging their way from Edmonton on a 2,000-mile flight to "Waukegan, II. 2 W. J. Lyon, president of the Inland Bird Banding Association at Wauke- gan, believes cow birds, like homing pigeons, have a homing instinct and could be used for carrying messages. To test ths theory he shipped 24 of the birds here in cages and they were released by Dr. J. E. Horning, Ed- monton bird bander. The take-off didn't prove any- thing. Some apparently started on their way south; others set out in the general direction of the North Pole; and the remainder flew towards the Pacific coast. The doctor said, however, the birds might have not obtained their bearings until out of sight. r Classified Advertising AGENTS WANTED \!

MINARD'S - ZH Se ---- The Forest Patrol After a winter's {f, Ontario's aerial forestry patrol is coming out of seclusion and getting planes in readiness to take to the'air to keep in check the destructive fires that annually 'menace the great forest areas beyond the height of land. Started some years ago as an ex- periment, the fire detection sérvice inaugurated by the provincial gov- ernment has proved of the greatest value in the protection of the for- ests. cool, capable and efficlent aviators, . cover a wide territory in their daily flights, keeping an eye open for the ascending spirals of smoke or flashes of flame that announce the presence of fire in the dense woods with which the greater part of Northern Ontario is clothed. ey are the scouts, the advance pickets up on the front line, who keep the rangers below. informed of the pro- gress of the battle, Village Church Is Important One of the important things in a village is a church. We nave' four of them in Port Rowan, the Baptist, the English, the United and the Free Methodist, observes the Port Rowan News. These four denomin- ations have good, substantial church buildings, that will not soon wear out. When the Church of England be- gan its work it was alone in the field. At the beginning its Clergy were not all educated men, but with the progress of time the con- gregations progressed in education, and the clergy had to add knowledge to general fitness for their work. The United Church is a mixture of the Methodist and Presbyterian. The Baptist Church was once and still is, normally at least, the church in Port Rewan. Once its mem- bership was counted in hundreds. Last Sunday there were less than forty people out to hear a fine:look- ing young man preach on temper- ance. The United Church has an excel- lent preacher. The orator proclaims itself in his frame only lacking in frontal contour, but his sermon on Sunday night lacked nothing because of nature's neglect. The choir was. small on Sunday night, and Rev. Mr. -- Burkholder stepped down from the pulpit and joined Mrs. Burkholder in a duet that riveted the attention of the large congregation. There was no hand-clapping, but the noiseless signs of lapproval were visible signs, and could be seen everywliere in the church. © The Free-Methodist Church came to us from the United States. It is drawing to the old ways-of Meth- odism. It should grow rapidly, now that the newer type of Methodism is amalgamated with the Presbyter- ians. r Hidden Gold Heirs of a prominent New York manufacturer are being led a merry chase trying to trail down more than a million dollars left, indiscriminate- ly, to say the least, in an unknown number of banks and safety deposit boxes throughout the United States and Canada. What adds zest to the fortune hunt is that they were. de- posited under false names in banks. whose location was only revealed to the worthy gentleman's son. The son was killed in an airplane accident, and with him went the key to his father's puzzle. For years before he died, secret trips, depositing huge sims at whatever place he stopped. He is known to have made several deposits in Montreal, although just where is another question. His heirs must now cope with a situation which was not altogether unfamiliar to the gentleman himself. On one occasion he is reported to have deposited $200,000 in a Can- adian bank, and then to have gone on a party. On his return he had for- gotten the name of the bank. Gets 99 Per Cent of Her Husband's Salary NEW YORK.--~Wives who know their business would be taking a pay cut if their husbands adopted a sug- gestion by Mrs. Franklin D. Roose- velt and put them on salary, said Mrs, A. Kenneth Mayer today. Mrs, Mayer is supposed to know. She is a university lecturer on home economics and a member of the U, S. National Committee for Consumer Education, "The modern intelligent wife of today knows how to get 99 per cent, of the husband's salary," she said, "not merely a wage that would be a fraction of it." Several men too modest to give their names--or scared to go home if they should--supportea + Mrs. Mayer's contention in interviews, "Our wives already get salaries-- our salaries," was their usual quip, "A housewife has a right' to a salary without question," Mrs, Roosevelt said in a recent inter view, The fliers, all of whom" are the - largest = the .. wealty manufacturer made frequent: (me NG Ai AT A uy og wr
