In fact the members. of this ancient profession are worried. For it looks ~, as if the mighty men will soon be as " extinet as hoop-skirts, shaving mugs and magic lanterns. The tragedy of the profession, or trade, as you will, is that there "isn't enough young blood in it. That's what J. J. Taugher of Kingston says. In fact he said it at the convention of the Master Horseshoers and Carriage Workers' Association held at the City Hall. , This gathering brought out 20 delegates and there was even the question of whether the Association should continue or not. Eventually it decided to carry on. But it's like Mr. Taugher said. There are very few apprentices -fearning the trade. "In fact," said he, "I visited over 36 shops and most of the men in them were between 60 and 70 years old. i In only a few were there men un- | der 40 years. He thought that the blacksmith's pay was really to blame. He figured that there were so few apprentices because the smithies were not making sufficient money. The convention adopted a motion to petition the Government to set a standard for all blacksmiths who in- tend opening their own shops, and to ask for the registration of all present shops. Richard Prior of Toronto was elected president of the association. Other officers are: dent, F. E. Gilroy, South Mountain; 2nd vice-president, W. G. Cameron, Falbrook; 3rd vice-president, James J. Taugher, Kingston; treasurer, Don MacLean, Toronto; and secretary, Edward Kearney, MacIntosh Mills. Claims Farmers Shoot Dogs WILLOWDALE--H. R. Bain, To- ronto stock broker, appealed to the North York Township Council this week to rescind a by-law under which he claimed farmers were permitted to shoot dogs found roaming on their property. "There are many instances of wanton cruelty, some where dogs are apparently deliberately wounded - and then left to die in agony," he de- , clared. The Clerk pointed out that there was no township by-law per- mitting such shooting. "It is per- missible under a Provincial statute," he announced, and the matter was dropped as the Council lacked juris- diction. - Lal nee am-- J Urged Property Taxed .. WINNIPEG-- Taxes should be - levied against occupants of property, whether owner or lessee, and the basis should be rental value rather than the present system. based on ¢apital value, the Winnipeg Board of Trade said this week in making recommendations for improvement of the city's financial position. Among other suggestions were a more vigorous policy of tax collec- tion and investigation of the city manager plan of administration. Caterpillars Commit Suicide SUDBURY-- Thousands of tent caterpillars, apparently "tired of it all" because trees have been stripped by their predecessors, are joining in mass suicide in this district. They are "marching" over the rocks along the shore on the south side of Lake Ramsay, continuing the parade into the water, where they are swept away by the waves. Cost of Water $3,000,000 Toronto's water costs citizens $3, 000,000 a year, according to John Hamilton, of the revenue department of the City Water Works. supplied to big corporations costs another $1,000,000," he said. Biggest consumer of water, the statistics ' show, is an out-of-town paper con- cern, which uses up 550,000,000 gals, a year. Next come abbatoirs with a total of 315,000,000; a department store uses 200,000,000, and a soap Factory 150,000,000 gallons.

In communities of 50,000 or more Canada has an 'average of 18.78 telephones per 100 population while in'lesser communities it has 7.28 per 100, both figures standing high in comparison with other countries. To- ronto is the 11th city in the world for telephone service per 100 popu- lation, the report reveals. Food Prices Rise SASKATOON -- Price of food in Saskatoon rose 17 per cent between last November and May 13 and 26 per cent since November, 1935, ac- cording to figures presented by the Central Council of Unemployed to the Young Men's Section of the Board of Trade. The Council asked for an increase in relief grants for food because of the rise in prices. First Air Mail PRINCE GEORGE, B.C.--Thirty- five thousand letters from all parts 'of the world were included in the first flight of the new. Prince George to Fort St. James, Takla Landing and Manson Creek Air Mail Service, post office officials of this Northern British Columbia town estimated. It is the first air* mail to fly regularly to the isolated points in the northern part of the Province. Air Service June 16 NEW YORK--Passenger air serv- ice between New York and Bermuda will start June 16th, it was announc- ed this week as the Pan-American Airways 21-ton Bermuda Clipper took off for its final survey flight to the Islands. Pan-American and British Imper:al are to operate separate services, but their schedules will dovetail. The Cavalier, opening the passenger serv- ice, will leave Bermuda next Wednes- day morning at 10.15 a.m. E.D.T. The Bermuda Clipper will make her first passenger flight on June 18th. Postmasters Protest Rates LETHBRIDGE, Alta. -- Protest against a rate of nine cents an hour overtime provided for postmasters was made at the opening session of the eleventh annual convention of the Alberta Branch of the Canadian Postmasters' Association here. "No other class of labor has sich long hours or such responsibility with such small overtime pay," said one postmaster. He declared post- masters work "an official day of 14 hours." Start Boat Trip PRINCE ALBERT, Sask.-- Plan- ning to reach Halifax in théir 21-foot rowboat within eight months, three Edmonton youths, Jack Peters, Anton Glaser and Fred Peters, rowed east down the North Saskatchewan River this week, after passing through here on the first leg of their inlands-water odyssey from the Alberta Capital. Business Better Graduates Learn Things are looking up in profes- sional and industrial circles if the experience of the alumni office of the University of Toronto can be taken as a guide, ' For the first time in some years, it is revealed, graduates are finding it much easier to obtain employment. "The situation is distinctly better" stated an official. "There are more positions available, and we have filled more positions this spring than we have for some time." It is reported that summer work for undergraduates also is showing improvement. Task of finding sea- sonal employment for the under- grads falls to the lot of the Students' Administrative Council, and it is re- ported that many students have been placed. New High in Radios TORONTO--Total radio business in Canada for 1936 exceeded that of 1929, the peak year, by more than 27,000 sets. This indication of busi- ness recovery was given by B, A. Trestrail, at the opening of the an- nual convention here. Mr. Trestrail, who is sales and advertising director of the Canadian Radio Corp., stated that the past year's high of 250,250 .sets would probably fade in compari- son the figures for 1987, which he estimated would be colse to 300,000 sets. "I base these figures on surveys which have been made," Mr. Trestrail said. '""At the present t'me there are more than 1,000,000 obsolete radios in the Dom'nion of Canada. As near as it is possible to get figures 39.3 per cent of Canadian radios are more than five years old, while 61 per cent 'are four years or more." $1,000,000 Hotel -- KITCHENER--A hotel project in- volving nearly 1,000,000 is proposed for Kitchener and a site at the corner of King and Queen Streets, now oc- Hotel, has been optioned by Montréal men interested, it" was reported this week, = The proposed structure will be 12 storeys high with the hotel tower construction of the Royal York of Toronto with low wings on each side. . The building will cost $575,- 000, and the site about $200,000, while furnishings will cost $100,000. The building will be concrete and stone construction and will contain 180 rooms and be air-conditioned on two floors and the banquet room, which will seat 700 persons. The largest plant in the world manufacturing smokeless fuel, gas and oil, is at Glenboig, Glasgow. Its daily output is 100 tons of fuel, 15,- 000 gallons of crude oil and 15,- 000,000 cubic feet of gas. cupied by stores and the American. 1 Grade B. ............. - Grade C Farm Survey In Ten States U. S. Official Says Men Do Not Know How Many Acres They Own CHICAGO. -- Plans for a $500,000 aerial survey of 112,000 square miles of farm land in Illinois and nine adja: cent states were speeded toward com- pletion after approval by the Agricul- tural Adjustment Administration, Ralph Moyer, genior administrative officer of the Department of Agricul- ture, said 23 counties in Illinois will be. covered by the survey and similar areas in Indiana, Wisconsin, Michi gan, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Ohio, and Missouri, The photographic surveys 'he said, will begin soon and continue through- out the summer. x "It should be useful in determining what spots would be checked for soil erosion," Moyer said, "Oddly enough, many farmers don't know exactly how many acres they own, and as the AAA is paying them so much per acre for their crop. co-operation, the agri: cuiturists will, know just how much to charge the AAA for such co-opera- tion."

By Peter Randal 4 People are spending money again «and 'travel agencies are looking for- ward to one of the heaviest summer season in several years, That the rush has already begun is evident from the experience of one honeymoon couple who found is almost impossible to book passage' for the West Indies cruise for the month of July. Travel lers to the Continent say that Trans- atlantic bookings are almost as hard to secure. . Not only have bookings .increased but the travel people say that the class of accommodation sought®this year is better. The big demand of the season | is the "all expense cruise" and this the agencies are offering to all places and at all prices. Since the Corana- tion, the big European attraction has been the Paris Exposition. Dogged from the beginning with persistent labor troubles, the big show is now open and the last buildings are rap- idly nearly completion, Steamship and railroad rates, while slightly higher are not much 'chang- ed, Hotel rates are rising, however. According to one authority, the tra- veller will pay 7% more for acco- mmodation this year than last while those who haunt the summer resorts will find prices up 16%. The Shotgun But force is not forgotten. Plans are being laid down for two 35,000 ton Italian battleships and the would- be war lord has declared his intention of increasing Italy's underwater fleet to 140 ships. Meanwhile English fac- tories and shipyards are so busy with armanients that Camadian importers say they cannot guarantee deliveries of English goods. Right here, con- tracts for $14,000,000 in war supplies have recently- been awarded. Even Canada's navy, second hand though it is, has been increased by the pur- chase of t--o destroyers from Britain. Ciercial Inconsistency Last week saw the culmination of a royal romance when the Duke and Duchess of Windsor made their vows in the presence of clergy but without the blessing of the church. Historians are commenting on the seeming in- consistency of refusing sanction of {" 3 marriage because of a divorce when the state church of England came into being at the behest of a "ing who created it for the purpose of sanctioning the divorce and subse- -fluent marriage. Archbishop Cranmer of Canterbury was the man and the king -- Henry VIII. Death of a General Superstition failed to save the life of General Emilio Mola, Spanish in- surgent commander in charge of the siege of Bilbao. The general was once told that he would die with his boots on, . Flying through thick fog to a 'meeting with General Franco, Mola's plane crashed into the side of a moun- tain and when they found his body --there were no shoes. General Mola always removed his shoes when flying but did it not save him when his hour was struck. ' Wheel of Fortuna While most of us are looking for an increasa in the weekly pay cheque as a reflection of the better times, we can hardly expect to be so blessed Duke of Windsor and His Happy Bride With Best Man and Witness to Their Wedding Sh as some people were last week, As for example, the Torontonians who won $85,000 on Midday Sun, winner of this year's English Derby. Or to take garet Strong de Cuevas, whose only comment when she was irfformed that her grandfather, John D. Rockefeller had left her $25,000,000 was, "There must be some mistake." .. Dollar Empire Those money barons who are still alive appear to have adopted the mot- to, "What we have, we hold", - At least, that is something of the infer- ence taken from J. P, Morgan's com- ment on the tax laws." If Congress makes. stupid mistakes which leave loopholes in the law, it is up to Con- gress to remedy them, not for us tax- payers". Smiling, Morgan continued by saying that he had not incorporat- ed his yacht as a method of tax evas- fon because he "did not think it worth while." Matchmaking Through a severe blow to the rebel cause, the campaign against Bilbao goes on with as much severity as ever. . From Italy comes word that Mussolini is planning to do by grace what he has found very difficult by force. It is said, that he will propose Otto, pretender to the Austrian throne, as the next King of Spain and to bind him to Italy, will marry him to Princess Maria of Savoy.

Reforestation Farmers Are Robbing Themselves At Present, Says Hepburn : 'SIMCOE, -- Experts and depart. ment heads will be asked to develop a plan of "constructive" reforestation in Ontario, Premier Hepburn told 600, councillors and officials from 32 coun- _tles at a banquet here. "We are going to formulate a real constructive policy in order to plant the type of trees that will be, market- able in the years to tome," said the Premier. "I am going to call in no experts to develop such a plan." 'Use Northern Forests The provincial policy, he said, was to utilize matured forests in Northern Ontario in relieving the unemploy- men situation and developing a profit- able market in the United States for Ontario pulpwood. - "The Southern pine menace is a real menace," said the Premier. And gouthern interests were organizing to fill Northern U. S. pulpwobd needs with Southern pine while Ontario was retaining matured pulpwood undevs eloped at an actual loss. ™ "The Province of Ontario needs at first work for our men. and their re. venue." With such an end in view, he continued, the Provincial Government is opening up the North country, and building mills and towns, and devel oping the pulpwood resaurces. The St. Williams reforestation farn. as the finest in the world, the Prem. fer declared, It was not considered advisable for the Government to even launch any large reforestation project in the older parts of Ontario, but it was advisable to encourage farmers and others to 'plant waste lands, hill top and side hills. = : Waste In North Ontario The situation was different in Nor- th¢ n Ontarlo. Large areas were laid waste there by fire and lumbering. Lavga tracts wera ccming to maturity and not being- utilized ,with a rcsult- ant loss. 'The policy of allowing Onario for- ests to mature and burn was wrong," the Premier declared. He said his Government had opened ip large ar- eas and given much employment. And last year, the Forestry -Dspartment Bhowed a profit of $3,600,000, where- as in 1934 it operated at a lpss. Pulpwood was, being supplied now to United States mills that had been about to turn to the Southern States for their needs, he sald. Purpose of the Norfolk conference, the Premler sald, was to study the sail conservation, and reforestation-- two "entirely different subjects." The draining of mi'licns of acres of low lands in On! "io to bring them into fertility resulted in rampaging floods in the Spring with attendant property damage while in the Summer drought dried up streams and wells. } Ontario farmers, he said, were rob- 'bing themselves by developing a big drainage system that dumped rainfall into the streams and rivers as soon as it fell." Mr. Hepburn proposed the dyking and establishing of bodies of water at various points by damming rivers. - Duke of Windsor May Some Day Return to England Edward Wants to Serve Empire Any Way Fxpke-Weants ~-- NOEASCH, Austria, -- The Duke of Windsor's equerry, in the role of his spokesman, declared last week, the former King "wants to serve the Em pire in any way the Empire wants - him." The possibility of a return to Eng: land was mentioned by the spokes man, Dudley Forwood, but he added: "I cannot say-when." - Forwood sugested the Duke might find the call would mean serving on charitable committees." The Duke and Duchess, Forwood, said, will interrupt their three-monthg sojourn at Wasserleonburg Castld here for a brief trip to Venice and the Dalmatian coast. He sald they had no plans to -visit the United States. "His Highness and Her Grace arq perfectly blissfully happy," Forwood told a group of correspondents wha were received at the castle for a cone ducted tour.
