Huge Tobacco Crop Toronto.-- Ambitious plans for-to- bacco growing in Ontario: have been formulated by the Provincial De- partment of Agriculture which an- nounces that 50,000 acres of flue- ¥ cured tobacco would be grown this year, an increase of 15, 000 acres over last year. The increase in tobacco acreage means that from 1,400 to 1,600 ex- pert tobacco curers from the south- ern United States will be needed, as compared with 836 last year.' bad There are 500 new growers in the tobacco area this year. A normal crop is expected to pro- vide employment for 18,000 men in the counties of Norfolk, Brant, Ox- ford, Elg'n, Kent and Essex. . Drill for Oil . Calgary.--Several oil companies search of oil near the ranch owned by the Duke-of Windsor in the foot- hills of High River. 40 miles south of here. Drilling is already underway at one well, four miles northwest of the ranch property, and the rotary drill is down 2,000 feet. The new tests will be made north, east, south and west of the Duke's property, known as the I.P. ranch. & No one may seek oil on the Royal ranch. The Duke holds a 99-year lease on the oil and gas rights and only with his permission could dril- ling be started. ' - A strike at the boundary wells, oil men said, might mean permission "would be sought from his Royal Highness to drill on the ranch pro- perty. . One of 'the companies which will drill on the ranch boundary is oo controlled by Chinese. It was or- ------- ganized by the Chinese communities . of Calgary and Vancouver, - o» Charges Patronage Exists In Canadian Postal Service Quebec.--S. J. Thomas of Mont- real, editor of the Postmasters' As- 'i sociation of Qunebec Province year book, told the opening meet ng of the. annual convention that "although the presence of patronage in Canada's postal service is denied, it is actu- ally present." More than 200 dele- gates were in session for three days. Dies While Cashing Pension 'Cheque - Edmonton.--More than six ® dec- x ades after arriving at Fort Saskat- chewan 28 a bold young bugler with A the old, original Northwest Mounted Police, 84-year-old Phil'as Brunette dropped dead here recently--on a bench in a crowded bank. Overcome by a heart attack im- mediately after cashing an old-age pension cheque, he suddenly collaps- ed. Bh. Born July 26, 1862, in St. Mar- tinne, Quebec; he enlisted with the Mounted Police in 1874, original year of the storied force, He was a bugler at Fort Saskatchewan, near Edmon- ton, the same year. Few living men could look back on so early a con- nection with the "Mounties." K Little is known of him. He was a life member of the Northern Al- berta Pioneers' and Old-Timers' Ass: sociation, His wife died many years ago, He had one daughter, but old- age pension officials said he d!d not know himself: where she was living, Se Meanest Thief The Pas, Man,.--This Northern Manitoba mining centre, 260 miles notthwest of Winnipeg, has found a new type of "meanest thief."

R. Macgregor, Australian Trade 'Commissioner, who has just returned from a visit to his homeland, made it clear at the convention "of the Canadian Manufacturers' Associa- "tion here. "The political action taken in 1930 benefited Canada's. major -industries in artifically creating a market in our country. Your major. industries benefited and our subsidiary ones. The majority of the goods we sell to Canada is perishable, the majority you sell to Australia is non-perish- able. ~~. "There will be considerable diffi-- culty in continuing an agreement which turned out to be much more advantageous to Canada than to Aus- tralia," the Trade Commissioner statdd. past calendar year amounted to $26,- 000,000; our sales to you were only $8,000,000. Considéring costs of transportation, etc., the net rent J that the trade balance is four to one . in Canada's favor." "Exhaustive surveys have been made to determine whether Australia might not increase her trade, but no channel has been found available, It will not be possible to maintain the status quo unless you increase your preferences unilaterally, and without compensation, to our country," he declared. Gold Mining Expansion Ottawa.--Promise of further ex- pansion in the gold mining industry and the deve'opment of other Cana- dian resources is seen as fifty-two survey and exploratory parties from the Department of Mines and Re- sources take the field to gather in- formation which will be useful to prospectors, mining comp2nies and various industries. Dr. Charles Camsell, Deputy Min- ister of Mines, said this week, that forty-one of these parties will be en- gaged in geological investigations and eleven in topographical mapping. Seven of the survey and exploratory parties will be engaged in Ontario and a like number in Quebec. The Prairie Provinces will have eleven, British Columbia nine, the Maritime Provinces four, the Northwest Ter- ritories two, and Yukon one. The field force totals close to 300 men, will be out all summer and autumn and will report to Ottawa in the fall, with results of their investigat'ons. Ontario Accidents Cost $115,000,000 Toronto. -- "Accident prevention is, and will continve to be an oper- ating problem as far as industry is concerned," R. B. Morley, general 'manager of Industrial Associations, told delegates to the 66th annual meeting of the Canadian Manufac- turers' Associaton this week. Declaring that accident prevention work should be a continuous cam- paign, Mr. Morley said that in On- tario alone, in the last 22 years, in- dustry has found accidents have cost more than $115,000,000. Trans-Canada Airways To. Open Mid-Julv Ottawa. -- Mid-July should see daily day-time flying over the Trans- Canada Air Lines between Winnipeg and Vancouver, Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Transport, indicated this week. Whether the carrying of mails and passengers will be under- taken from the start remains to be decided, the Minister added. * Delivery is expected from the Locheed firm, of Los Angeles, of three fast electra machines, costing - approx'mately $80,000 each in about six weeks and immediately these planes will start flying the western end of the trans-Canada route. These "planes will carry two pilots and space for ten passengers and mail. ~ Meningitis Recovery What is described as the '"drama- tic recovery of a 14-year-old Vancou- ver girl from spinal meningitis is out- lined in the current issue of the €an- adian Medical Journal. A new strep- tococecus-killing substance, known as prontosil, obtained by German re- search men from a red dye, was used by Dr. Gordon C. Draeseke and Dr. Everett F. Raynor of Vancouver, On Dec. 9, 1986, the girl was ad- mitted to the Vancouver Genaral hospital. A left mastoid operation was performed the next day.. She ran a normal course of recovery till Dee, 16, when sighs of meningitis ap- peared. Fluid from the spinal col- umn obtained by a puncture on Dec. 18 gave dread short-chain strepto- cocci organisms, Prontosil injections were given, On Dec, 26 the patient was so well "Your sales to us during the' that she sat up and ate a small Christmas dinner of turkey, the doc tors state. On Jan. 1 the doctors re- ported the girl mot only recovered completely, but with no evident signs of bad effects from the use of the new drug. Leading physicians in Toronto hos- pitals where prontosil has been used for 'over six months now, while ad- miting its apparent effectiveness, 'were unprepared to give it the repu- - tation yet of a sure-cure for strepto- .coeccal infections claimed for it in many reports from other places. " "Many cases will be necessary be- fore judgment can be given," stated Dr. Julian Loudon, chief physician of St. Michael's hospital. Mosquitoes Bad Lindsay.--Hordes of mosquitoes have appeated here. Employes of Jones lum camp, at Janetville, upon retiring found it impossible to sleep, They hurriedly donned their overalls and departed, by car for their homes in' Fenelon Falls, a dis- tance' of 35 miles, where they ex- pected to pass the night in slumber, returning to work next day. . i THE MARKETS POULTRY AND EGGS Buying prices: Dealers are quoting producers 'for ungraded eggs, delivered, cases re- turned: Eggs-- Grade A large ....... 17 to 00 Grade A medium =. 15 to 00 Grade B _ ............. 14 to 00 Grade C .ccoeennennnnn. 14 to 00 Dealers are quoted on graded eggs, cases fred: Grade A large ....... 19 to 20 Grade A medium .... 17 to 18 Grade *B .................. 16 to 16% Grade C ................... 16 to 16% HOG QUOTATIONS Reporting bacon-hog :aarfets not- el steady prices Saturday, w'th the exception of Chetham, where de- clines of 50c and 85: were noted.

It is wise- ly suggested that in selecting holiday accommodation consideration should be given to two health essentials: Are pure drinking water and safe milk available at the place where you intend to spend your vacation? -- Kitchener Record. The Inventor of The Half Tone Magazines and newspapers were illustrated both in black and white and in color before the late Frederic E. Ives was born in 1856; yet the thousands of periodicals that depend on illustrations today have reason to pause for a moment and honor his memory, For the half-tone process, which makes it possible to print photographs with ink on ordinary presses, was largely if not entirely his invention, Certainly to him be- longs the credit for having devised, the simple and ingenious method of breaking up d photograph into a mul- titude of dots,'large and small, by ruling parallel I'nes on two glass plates, sealing the plates together with two sets of lines crossing each other, and determining just where the screen should be placed between the lens and the senitized metal plate on which the picture was to be repro- duced. After his success the wood- cut disappeared in the popular pub- lications. What the arts and crafts lost, the public gained. Without the half-tone process our lavishly il- lustrated, inexpensive books, and our periodica's would be impossible. Frederic Ives had other inventions to his credit, notably his system of color photography, which he soon combined with the half-tone process, and a method of obtaining sterco- scopic effects without a stereoscope. Prolific as most distinguished inven- tors are, he enriched the arts with a score of instruments and processes that stamped him as a scientist-think- ing man_rather than the whittling type of mechanic who flourished in the latter half of the last century. His name will go down in the anna's th photography and print'ng as a pioncer." Ontario Black Flies oe Feast In Winnipeg WINNIPEG.--The Northern On- tario black fly scourge has made its appearance 'n Winnipeg, and has tak- en the fun out of spiing for those who want to bask in the sun. The pests go through mosquito retting with ease, and their bites leave the hardiest of Manitobans in misery. "Mosquitoes are gentle compared with these . flies," said one woman sufferer, whose eye was badly swol- len. Although the: bite is merely a pinprick, - inflammation sets in around the wound, and in some cases the victims are affected with a slight fever. Canadians Acauire 50 Former American Firms TORONTO.--During the last fif- teen years Canadian interests have acquired control or ownership of at least fifty 'manufacturing companies in Canada formerly owned in the United States, the Commercial In- tell'gence Committee revorted to the Canadian Manufacturers' Association at its annual meeting. It has been found also that in proportion to Canada's wealth and population her direct investment in factories, mines and public utilities in the- United States was larger than similar Amer- ican investment in Canada. What Happens When Ships Cellide a ------------ 8 . Two Brit! sh steamers' collided in the River Thames near Green- hithe last week. The Corrientes, with a cargo of paper, was badly holed amidships. The Umtali, which carried passengers, had her bows smashed and was taken in 'tow by tugs. A young fireman was killed in the engine room of the Corrientes, Our picture shows the severely smashed bows of the Umtali being inspected by some of the passengers, NEWS PARADE Commentary on the HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEKS NEWS -.. By Peter Randal Events in the international arena are moving with all the swiftness of a championship prize fight, At a meet- ing of the League of Nations Assem- bly at Geneva last week, fifty nations recognized the Valencia government of the Spanish Loyalists while com- pletely ignoring General Francisco Franco of the military opposition, It looked as though the Loyalists might eventyally win on points. The League was for them, were both reported to be very tired and the Loyalist forces in the field were holding on very well in spite of determined rebel attacks. The Sins of the Fathers But the loyalists made a tactical error when a squadron of their fight. ing planes attacked the German battle cruiser Deutschland. One of the devil ish eggs landed on her decks and she limped into Gibraltar with twenty- four dead officers and men. It did not matter that the Deutschland was in forbidden waters when the bombing occurred. Twenty four Germans were dead and Nazl authority challenged. Germany and Italy withdrew from the non-intervention committee and a Ger- man fleet destroyed the Spanish har- bor of Almeria. Three hundred have been reported dead as the sins of the Spanish fathers are visited upon their defenseless children. Imperial Politics Italy and. Germany are in danger- ous mood and there are many worried heads in England at the present time. Collective security as represented by the League of Nations failed to pro- tect China. Collective security "failed to help Ethiopia and now, collective security appears to have failed in a situation that may well threaten the whole peace of the world. One of the chief pillars of the League has been Great Britain but after the failure of sanctions and the possible effect it they should again be invoked by an offended nation, jt is said that Great - Britain is wavering in its attitude to- ward the League as a body to punish aggressor nations. As the most pow- erful of the Dominions, Canada is said to have the deciding volce in Britain's "decision. Shall Prime Min. ister Mackenzie King attempt to use his influence for the abandonment of sanctions? Few think he will but the possibility has interesting aspects when Canada's well known reluctance to being drawn into European aflairs is known. "Chamkerlain 1s What He Was" The late Lord Birkenhead once de- scribed Neville Chamberlain, the new prime minister, in his characteristic sneer as "a man who is what he was --a very goou Lord Mayor of Birming- ham--in a lean year. "For honesty, he 1s said to be Baldwin's counter- part. In matters of policy, it's thought that he will follow in the steps of his former leader. Where new innova- tions are to be sought, some think he will look for a hint from President Roosevel:. Should some daring ex- perimenter arrive at some feasible plan for world economic and political stabilizatign- Neville Chamberlain is expected "to give his whole hearted support. That such a scheme is al- ready on foot cannot be gainsald in, view of the a'tempts of American statesmen to gain -nfluence in the Imperial conference discussions through the voices. of certain of the Dominions. -Last of the "Old Gang" The past few months have witne.s- ed many changes in high places. This week, the last of Gang" statesmen takes over the di- rection of affairs on the retirement of two contemporaries. Stanley Bald- win has become an earl and retired to the comparative peace of the House of Lords. Ramsay Macdonald, true to his idealistic streak, has de- clined a similar honour as a gesture toward the political career of his son who retains cabinet rank in the new government as Minister for the Do- minions. An Angry. Paper Hanger Chicago has always had a reputa- tion for very free 'free speech", A few years ago, Wild Bill Thompson used the municipal rostrum to hurl impregation at the head of George V. Today he visits the Dominion of the late king as only one of thousands of enthusiastic = American fishermen. Back in Chicago, an oratorfcal suc. cessor has arisen in the past few weeks in the person of an ecclesiasti- cal prince, Cardinal Mundelein who has had the misfortune to call Chan- cellor ZIitler an "Austrian paper hanger". Now Chancellor Hitler was a paper hanger not such a very long time ago but he and the German peo- ple like to forget about it. Whether as a direct result of Chicago's Cardin al's remarks or as a part of a con- céerted campaign against the Church, tho Nazl Government last week ban- ned publication of 200 Catholic news- papers and pushed forward the trials of German clergy held on wholesale immorality charges. And the Church pfépared to fight back as clergy used A C---N Mussolini and Hitler- England's "Old their pulpits to denounce the Chan- cellor and all his works. Aviation Merry-Go-Round When we started out, this week's news looked like a prize fight gone mad with the fighters not caring par- ticularly V ether they hit the other many the referee. or someone in the audience, After going the circle from Germany to Germany, . it begins to take some of the aspects of a merry- go-round. That is just what aviation is about to do with the world as the last remaining link in globe circling is finally prepared on both both sides of the_ Atlantic ccean, Experimental flights are already being put on sched- ule basis between New York and Bermuda while in the wilds of New- foundland, not far from the take off point of the first Transatlantic flight in 1919, 400 men are hacking out the runways which the first one hop planes will use in June. The great air- ports will take at least two years to complete. And up at the North Pole, arrange ° ments for the top of the world wea- ther observation post are almost com- pleted ar base planes landed on the drifting ice floes with cargoes of supplies. And so anothor week's ad- ventures march into history. Hi-de-hi and TE ---- ho-de-ho, folks! : Jack home again from the races and all o.k. Ths 's sort of an ofl-week for this eslumn, en account of the fact that we are changing it around in order to make it more colorful and in- teresting for you. So, if we don't tell you how many toes Ghandi has on h's right foot, or how many hairs he plucked out ef his bald head with his right fist, do not think we have forgotten ypu, dear reader. . . and dear reader," if your best friend tells you to play No. 12 in the 4th race, play No. 6--he's probably better. . . please don't pass up the moral of these lazy words. Anyway, it's a date--next week we will look at you frem other places, in different ways! Canadian Naz SES in Demand ia US. Immigration Laws, However, Make Difficult'es; Waiting Po- cition Not Sufficient. LONDON, Ont.-- Canadian nurses" in great numbers have been in de- mand by United States hospita's, where there is stated to be a chort- age of this class of profession. At the same time, however, it is declar- ed that U .S. immigration laws, by a reported demand that no nurse en- ter the States without an immigra- tion v'sa even if she has a job in view, has put quite a damper on the immigration. U. S. consular officials here said they knew of no recent enactment which would make the law w'th re- gard to nurses mere severe. In or- der to secure the necessary legal entry it has always been necessary to prove complete finacial responsi- bility. The fact that nurses usually have definite employment in sight when they cross the United States border often works to their advantage with immigration authoritics, but in itself it is not necessarily sufficient. "The possession of a job does not make it certain that the party will not become a public charge on the country in the event of sickness or other such cventuality," pointed out a consular official. Reports are that many Canadian nurses already working in the United States, but without the necessary im- migration papers are now faced with deportation. 2,721 Farm Johs Found, 2 Months TORONTO.--In two months 2,721 unemployed Ontario men have been placed on farm jobs through the Provincial Employment Service, Geo. Taylor, Department of Labor secre- tary said. During the past few days there was a request for 200 pulp workers, Taylor said, The government turns over requests to its various employ- Joon bureaus throughout the prov- nce, election. Qur Trade Agreement Gives Good Results U.S.-Canada Treaty Reveals $378-000,000 Experts For The Year The figures of the first year's oper- ation of the Canadian-United States reciprocal trade agreement just made public by an inter-departmental com- mittee of the latter Government will, we imagine, surprise even hose pro- ponents of the plan who predicted great things-for it. ally to be expected--some zain would have taken place, treaty or no treaty, owing to better times--but a jump of 18 per cent on our purchases from the United States 'n 1 year, to- gether wh en eves ore gratifying gain of 32 per cefit in our cals to that country in the same porlod of time, is good news indeed. The totals are impressive, even in these days when we are accustomed to thinking in millions--$370,000,000 of imports and $378,000,000 of exports. It is of course, fa'r to point out, as the report does, that the recipro- cal agreement is not to be given the credit for all this new business. Some of it, as has been said, would have developed anyway, with better times and a rising American demand for certain of our raw materials but -- to quote the report again--the great- est gains were made in those things upon which dut'es had been lowered, conclusive proof of the value of the agreement to both sides. The lst of articles and commodities which this country imported from the United States in increasing numbers and quant'tics is about what was to be expected, once the new tariffs were settled upon. Automobiles and parts, varjous kinds of h' ghly developed machines and elcetrical apparatus, American periodica's and--an excel- lent th'ng--fruits and vegetables dur ing seasons when these cannot be produced in Canada, are all among the items showing the greatest gan in volum~ com'ng into Canada. The other side of the picture in- dicates an encouraging growth in the absorption by the American market of Canadian products which, under the Hawley-Smith tar. were virtu- aly excluded from * Outside of whiskey, a manufacturé, nearly all the marked increases are of things derived from the Canadian soll or seas, lumber, farm products, animals, fish, ete.--in a word, the sort of cx- port that thls country has sdbely needed and which will help to revive these Canadian industries which have been hardest Lit in the last decade. It is of particular interest and 'm- portance that this report should have been made publie while the Imperial Conference was in session and the question of Empire trade so much to the fore. It is to be noted that a Vasi'naton despateh™ credits the State Department with the opinion that Canada has got the best uf the bargain in the first year's operation of the agreement. It scems a little carly to draw any such conclusion, only I: surely and expert aralysis ples censiderable time will finally determine which side has cory out: best, if indeed, one has fared better than the other. We may well believe that the Department has not issued its statement without careful consid- eration; it is too good high-tavift ammunition to be handed over to those who will use. it against the Roosevelt low-tariff policy in the next neighbors are no fonder of what they are told is a bad barga'n than we are. The expiana- tion probably lies, as the Washington story indicates, in the hope that it may be of use in the negot'ation of a Dritish-Amcrican trade azreement aftor the fashion of that which has just comuloted its first successful year on th's cont'nent. We ave per- haps about fo see the first fruits of a ser'es of pre-Conference "conversa- tons" in Vachingten and elsewhere, Slimmine Dicis To Blame For T. 2. Rize HAMILTON.--Women are 50 rer cent. more susceptible than men to tuberculosis because of "food fads', geaniy dress in winter, and insuffi. cient rest, Dr, J. Edgar Davey, Assis- tant Medical Health Officer, de- clared. Unreasonable d'ets for "slim- ming" were condeinned. Dr. Davey was discussing a renort frcm across the border that tuber- culoriv was on the increase amcng medical, dental and nursing stu dents. Along with Dr. M. G. Brown, Assistant Superintendent of the General Hospital, he agreed that this did not apply here because the strict examinations were made per- iodically. Hard work in poorly ven- tilated .places also resulted in many -young people contracting tuber. lo sis, Dr, Davey said. Exploring the crevasses in an Idaho (U.S.A.) lava field, two young scientists will be lowered in a small steel cage at the end of a cable 2,600 feet long.
