= Turkey Buzzard Near St. Marys Native of Southern States Is Thought To Have Been Driven North By Hurricane A large black bird, described by nature scholars as a turkey buz- zard, was shot down four miles south of St. Marys, Ontario, by Nor« man Conn, a young farm employee of Kast Nissouri. The bird in some ways resembled a turkey but beak and head corresponded to that of a buzzard. The bird was flying high above the field with three other similar birds. A habitant of Central Amer jca and the Southern States, it is believed to have beer driven into this territory by the hurricane which swept the Atlantic seaboard and the New England States. Of Vulture Family Of the vulture family, the bird had a wing spread of over six feet, It weighs about five pounds. The head, of a reddish appearance was bald but for a few short black hairs. This is the first time on re- cord this type of bird has been seen in the district. Two Stratfords Stratford-upon-Avon, England, Sends Rosemary and Wild Thyme To Be Planted in Btratford, Ontario. "Rosemary for remembrance" was the sentiment in a cable sent by Mayor Thos. Waldron, of Strat- ford-on-Avon, England, to Mayor Thos. E. Henry as the city of Strat- ford, Ontario, held a ceremony at Shakespearean Gardens to plant Rozemary and Wild Thyme The seed from which the "ian were grown came from §.ratford-on- Avon. And Mayor Thes., E. Henry fit- tingly replied with a cablegram picked up by messenger while the ceremony was in progress. And Mayor Ienry pointed out in the cable that prayers for peace were a part of the ceremony. ~ Prayers For Peace The text of Mayor Waldron"s message to Stratford was as fol- lows: "Here's Rosemary for re- membrance. Heartiest greetings from the Mayor of Shakespeare's Stratford to the Mayor of Ontario's Stratford." Mayor Henry's reply read: "Greetings from Stratford-on-Avon, Ontario. Ofilcinls planted Rose- mary. twelve noon, Prayers for peace and p.osperity." Forty Millions Nesd Schooling Ca This Continent, McGill Uni- versity Expert Says, In Voic- ing Flea for Adult Education. Something must be done in the way of providing further education- al facilities for 40,000,000 people of North America who have had a very sketchy education, Col. Wil- frid Bovey of McGill University told members of the Quebec Ki- wanis Club last week. "We might just as well face an unpleasant fact," he said. "Most of those people had (o leave school before their time because our com- munity had failed in its duty, be- cause in some way or other our or- ganization has been inadequate, Some People Have Missed It "I do not think anyone denies that the community owes an edu- cation to the school child; no one has denied that for a long time. But, this is my contention: the community has exactly the same obligation to the people who through its fault, have missed their school education." Col. Bovey stated that the service clubs of this continent might well make it their task to study and as. sist in remedying the problem of the "sketchily educated 40,000,000." Bulbs Imported into Dominion Millions Are Coming From Eu- rope This Autumn _The bulb importing season has again commenced. Recently bulbs of every size, shape and description, such as hyacinths, narcissi, daffo- dils, crocuses, freesias and muscarl, have been literally pouring into Canada from Great Britain, Hol- land, Belgium, France and other countries. Millions of bulbs, actu- ally 35,347,367, arrived during the season of 1937-38, and the indlca- tions are that this large figure will be surpassed during the importing months of 1938-39. All these bulbs, which before long will be in the possession of amateur or profes. sional gardeners and growers, later to produce pots of bloom, cut flow- ers and delightful garden beds in the spring, have to be handled and inspected before being allowed to be forwarded to their destinations in Canada. -- ALFRED DUFF-COOPER Prime Minister Chamberlain of Great Britain's hour of triumph in the House of Commons was cut short by a bitter attack launched on his foreign policy by the second member of his Cabinet to resign for conscience' sake, Alfred Duff. Cooper, First Lord of the Admiral- ty. Anthony Eden, formor Foreign Secretary, was the first. These two men, younger in years than the a rage Conservative Par- . ty member in Great Britain, believe that the whole Czechoslovak crisis could have been averted if Britain had taken a stand in time. Dufi- Cooper in his speech said that it was foolish to expect the German dictator to listen to "sweet reason- ableness"--only the mailed fist can influence Hitler. Anthony Eden declared: "Succes- sive surrenders only bring succes- sive humiliation, and in their turn more humiliating demands." Canada: Finest Hunting Ground World's Ideal Country For The Chase, Big Game Hunters Aver _ Canada Is the finest hunting and fishing country in the world in the opinion of Mr. and 'Mrs. Michael Lerner, adventurers and big game hunters from New York. The couple like Canada's hunt- ing grounds because they are situ- ated in the healthiest country in the world. Tropical cour'ries pack too much danger and fever to be ideal sites, they believe. Mrs. Lerner impressed interview- ers as being "112 pounds of sport- ing dynamite and charm." She Is less than five feet in height. "Women can do anything a man can do," was her firm belief. She is the first woman ever to catch a broadbill swordfish in Canadian waters. Mrs. Lerner caught a 295- pound swordfish off the coast of Louisburg, Nova Scotia, this year. The fish fought two hours and 50 minutes before she landed it with a 28-ounce rod and a 39-thread line. Fishing Grounds Being Depleted The adoption of fly casting methods of fishing were urged as a means of conserving the Dominion's nature-given supply of fish by David V. Reddick, authority on fly and bait casting, at a meet- ing of Montreal's Progress Club. "Our rivers, lakes and streams are being depleted more and more each year," he declared. He point: ed out how a maximum of sport can be obtained through scientific fishing without depleting one of the greatest tourist attracting features of this country. Dogs are being used for hunt- ing criminals in Belgium. Turner Valley Is Giving Consideration to Plans For Development of Big Alberta Oi] Field LONDON. -- The British Gov- ernment ig giving consideration to comprehensive plans for the de- - velopment of the Turner Valley oil field in Southern Alberta, which in- clude construction of a pipeline to Vancouver, it was learned last week. ' It was understood no decisions had been made, although the scheme 18 being viewed from every angle by Admiralty officials. The oil would be used for naval pur- poses. In Rearmament Scheme The Canadian Government has no direct connection with the plan, it was understood, although it prob- ably has been acquainted with the details, Development of the oilfield would come within Britain's vast rearma- ment scheme, which already ex- tends to Canada in the construction of bombing planes.

That newspaper has now received a letter from a man in Port Elgin declaring that 23 is a mere snack and that he, a certain "Wis" of that town, re- cently put away 32 cobs complete with butter and salt and a pot of of tea.

CANADIAN LAWYERS The last census showed over 8,000 persons occupied as lawyers in Canada, with 544 justices and magistrates, not all of whom were necessarily graduates of law schools, but most of whom are likely to be placed as such, There is thus one lawyer for every 1,200 of the population, and as there is one doctor for every 1,000 it would seem to appear that our bodily ills take more looking af- ter than keeping us within the rules by which society governs its actions.--Kitchener Record. Parade By Elizabeth Eedy OUTSHONE: They say that Mussolini weeps in his palace at Rome, sobbing uncontrollably and gnashing his teeth at a capricious fate which has forced him to play ° second fiddle. In the 'teens of this century, Benito Mussolini was a journalist of parts, a prominent socialist whose ambition it was to bgcome an unique figure in his age. Lenin, the Russian socialist, rose to be a much greater power, dwarfed Mussolini into insignificance. Then the Italian tried the opposite line, became the first "Fascist" in his- tory. For years the clever Benito's supremacy went unchallenged, but with the thirties a formidable rival appeared on the horizon, Adolf Hitler of Germany, and once more Mussolini is outshone by a star of greater magnitude. Beaten at his own game. If Mussolini is to run true to form, he will dry his tears and prepare to go Hitler one better by doing something" that will throw the German dictator's latest tri- umphy in the shadow. He could take over the whole of Arabia, for instance; or seize control of the Mediterranean, shutting off Eng- land from her trade routes; then grab the Suez Canal and Egypt. He'll have his innings yet . . .. -- REASON FOR SILENCE: -- There's a big howl gone up across Canada because at the time of the latest European crisis, Prime Min- ister King did not say a word to indicate that we as a nation were behind Britain's stand for peace. The howl may die down now, or it may be heard at its loudest only when Parliament reconvenes at Ottawa next month, It is. whispered that Mr. King was silent because he feared the unfavorable reaction of French Canada to any European commit- ment. Dr. Manion, Conservative leader, did not declare himself either, it is said, for the same rea- son. --_-- WAIT AND SEE: An amusing news note was heard over the ra- dio the other morning. It was re- ported that the power-that-be were considering naming the new bridge on the Middle Road (near Mimico) the "Chamberlain Peace Bridge." Added in the next breath was: "they have decided to lay the matter of the new name over for a time." Here we would inter- pose: "to see how the 'Chamber- lain Peace' turns out." N-- CRIME BUREAU: At a meet- ing of the Police Assoclation of Ontario in Toronto early this month the intelligent suggestion was made that a central clearing house for criminal data be estab- {ished at Ottawa so that informa- tion available to police in one town or city of Canada could be prepared for distribution through a special police bulletin to all police headquarters in the country. Crown Attorney J. W. McFad- den, speaking of thé present lack of efficiency, said: "As it is now, The EMPIRE BOMBAY IS NOT ALONE Progress in local self-govern- ment is a slow business the lat- est Bombay Government review of municipal administration for 1937- 37 repeats a familiar tale. The absense of a sense of civic respon- sibility constitutes a grave draw- back; factions and feuds continue to characterize local administra- tion and to produce parlous con- ditions. This is reflected in the phenomenal growth of arrears in the past few years, the reluctance to provide proper amenities and to levy taxation, and irresponsible expenditure. -- Times of India, Bombay.

They had no doubt at all that they were all able to destroy Ozma's Domain. "The deadly desert has kept us out of the Land of Oz," remarked the Grand Gallipoot, "but now we shall Rot into the Emerald City very eas- ly, so let us send the fat Jittle Gen- oral back to his King without prom=- ise to assist him." "We will not say that we intend to conquer the gnomes after we have conquered Oz," he continued, "but we will do so just the same and what fun it will be to stick pins in their bodies to make them yell" This plan being agreed upon, they all went home to dinner leaving General Guph still in piison. The Gnome had no idea that he had suc- ceeded In his mission, for finding himself in prison he feared the Growleywogs Intended putting him to death, By this time the jaller had tired of sti¢king pins into the General and was amusing himself by pulling the gnome's whiskers out by the roots, one at a time, This enjoyment was interrupted by the Grand Gal- lipoot sending for the prisoner. "Aw, wait a few hours," begged the jailer, "I haven't pulled out a quarter of his whiskers yet." "If you Keep the Grand Gallipoot walting, he'll break your back," declared the messenger, "Perhaps you're right" sald the Jailer, "Take him away. But kick him at every step. It will be good fun, for he is as soft as a ripe peach." So Guph was led away to the royal castle where the Grand Gallipoot told him that the Growley- wogs had decided to help conquer the Land 61°0z. "Whenever you are ready," he said, "let me know and I will march with eighteen thousand of my most powerful warriors to your ald." Our Declining Forest Wealth Ontario Is Practically Denuded Of Trees, Provincial Forester Says, Advocating Reforesta- tion E. J. Zavitz, the Provincial For- ester, advocating reforestation and conservdtion in the current issue of the Toronto Board of Trade Journal, says that 'Our forest industries provide a large part of our national income and directly support over half a mill ion people." Despite this dependency upon forests, the writer discloses that Ontario is practically denuded and the livelihood of 500,000 Canadians jeopardized. According to Mr. Zavitz, "Many counties of the province have less than ten per cent. of woodland, and some 136 townships have less than five per cent." : Under 'Forest Management' The policy of placing idle and waste lands under forest manage- ment has many arguments in its favor. As Ontario's chief fores- ter, Mr. Zavitz offers some auth- oritative remarks along this line. He believes forest management will pay as a financial investment, He also contends that, besides providing an adequate wood sup- ply, it will give additional work in rural districts, protect water- sheds and conserve water as well as provide breeding-ground for birds and wild life. It is to the credit of various countries, especially in the west- ern part of the province, that they are embarking upon active campaigns of reforestation de- signed to replace the losses i e 1] "woodland that have been suffer Modern Family Said Too Small Professor Claims Quality Of Family Life Would Improve If There Were More Child- ren In the Home The trouble with the" modern family unit, Prof. Joseph K.

Poison Types Of Mushroom Professor Hart Says Deadly Va- ricties are Very Rare and Have Distinctive Character- istics; "Gills" Not Accurate A timely warning to mushroom- eaters was fssued by Nelson C. Hart, professor of botany at the University of Western Ontario. It fs this month that mushroom growth is most prolific, and Profes- sor Hart told of a few simple char- acteristics by which the inedible, poisonous "toadstocls" may be dis- tinguished from the harmless spe- cies. "In the first place," Professor Hart said, "It should be made clear that poisonolis varieties of mush- room are comparatively rare. Professor Hart pointed cut that when there is any doubt about the edibility of the mushroom, the whole stalk should be examined, All poisonous varieties have a bulb- shaped growth at the bottom end of the stalk. An additional char acteristic is an upward-pointing, cup-shaped protuberance at or near the ground level of the stalk, The most deadly species, bearing the grim name, 'Destroying Angel," has a very thick and easily-recog- nized cup. This mushroom is pure white in color, Another extremely poisonous mushroom, the "Fly Ag- 'arls,"" is bright yellow to red in color, and has a very thin, memb- raneous cup which adheres closely to the stalk. y A third characteristic cominon to poisonous mushrooms is the ap- pearance of small flecks of tissue on the cap or upper surface, These are not actually a part of the cap and can easily be brushed off. Professor Hart said the gills on the under side of the cap are not an accurate criterion of the mush. room's edibility, although it is a fairly certain indication that it is edible is these turn pink or black, The alkaloid poison contained in a mushroom ig so dangerous that only 3-1000 of a gram (there are 28 grams in one ounce) is a fatal amount,
