Dr. W. A. Found, Deputy Minister of Fisheries for Canada and Cana- dian representative on the North Atlantic Council on Fisheries Inves- tigation, lauded the council's work, "On the Pacific Coast.our con- servation measures have been re- =gponsible for a marked increase in vital commercial catches," he sald. "We have placed a seasonal limit on haddock, and now after a few years that limit is taken in a short time." * Issues Ultimatum -- Haj Amin Effendi' Al Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, has is- sued an ultimatum demanding that Britain abandon her mandate over Palestine in order that a sov- ereign state be created by the Arabs, The Grand Mufti also de- manded that Jewish migration to the Holy Land cease.

Rix -._bLs: Canton Falls Before Victorious Japanese Drive NEW SOUTH HEADQUARTERS Successfully capturing Canton, South China's metropolis, Japanese forces continued their victorious drive. on Hankow, as thousands of refugees fled from the burning ruins of Canton. Hundreds of thousands had fled the doomed city before the Japanese, on the march for more than a week, gained their objective. Here you see Canton's waterfront as it will never be again, New Type Stove Is One-Burner Highly Popular In Foreign Lands, It Is Now Ready for ~~ Canadian Use, ~~ At last, engineers have perfect- ed a one-burner portable stove with most of the advantages of larger ones. 1t is the only one- burner stove with so many dis- tinctive advantages. This new stove lights instantly, without preheating, on the "in- stant gas from-gasoline" principle. Heat can be easily regulated to high, medium or low. A safety shut-off valve keeps fuel from spilling and elimihates the need of repumping every time the stove is lighted. An automatic tip cleaning needle is built in. The "life-time" burner is wind-proof, silent and operates without throwing off fuel odor. It is the same type of bur- ner used on expensive instant gas ranges. "An extra large, straight generator is easy to clean and re- place. A triple nickel-plated brass" fount is rust-proof, tested for 200 lbs. pressure and is unusually safe, Lights Instantly While this stove, known as the Coleman Speed-Master, has been used and proved efficient in for- eign lands, it is manufactured by a Canadian company--The Cole- man Lamp and Stove Company. They released it for 'fereigners before Canadians in order to test out and improve its construction. + Housewives, campers, doctors, restaurant' operators, plumbers, garagemen and all others who have need of a one-burner stove will find the Speed-Master avail- able in the stores of all Coleman dealers. Ottawa Boosts "Dams Program Gardingr Announces More Pro- jects for Aid of Prajrie Farm- ers Facing Shortage of Water REGINA.--Extension of the prai- rie farm rehabilitation program of building community dams and dug- outs has been authorized by Hon. J. GQ. Gardiner, federal minister of agriculture. It now will involve an expenditure of about $100,000, pro- viding fall work for between 3,500 and 4,000 farmers, 180 Projects Under Way Mr. Gardiner's decision brought the projects up to 180, largely in: Saskatchewan, with 28 scheduled for Alberta's special areas and about six for southwestern Mani- toba. ' The program, which speeds con- struction this year of projects that normally might not be built until 1939 or even later, is twofold in purpose, First, the community dams and dugouts will be built in areas where water shortage is a definite problem, and second, the construc. tion program will take the form of work and wages project for hard- hit farmers. . = Try this on your wife. Our bet is, however, she will like a pres- ent better: Mr. Timson came home one evening to find his wife vis- ibly displeased, Wife--" Do you realize, John, that you have forgotten that this is my anniversary?" ; Husband--*"Of course, I've for- "gotten. There really isn't anything about you to remind me that you're a day older than you were a year ago--or even ten years " Time flies when you con- sider how recently you bought the children's shoes which now need new half soles. But it goes on crutches if you think how long it takes to get back that $10 you lent with the promise that it would be repaid next week. pe ' Angry Father--"I don't know what to do about your telling un- truths. When I was your age I never told a lie." Little Son--"How old were you when you started, please, dad?" The teacher was giving the youngsters a mental drill. Teacher -- "Now, Bobby, tell me which month has 28 days in it." Bobby -- (who had forgot- ten, after a' moment, had the answer.)--*"They all have!" Did he mean this? Solicitor--*Did you present the bill to your client?" Collector--*"Yes." Solicitor -- "And what did he say?" : Collector--"He told me to go to the devil." ' Solicitor--*"And what did you do?" Collector--*I came to see you." An old German was on the witness stand. "And now, sir, describe to the jury just how the stairs run in that house," requested the lawyer. The old man scratched his head for a minute. "You want to know how the stairs run?" "Yes, if you please, how the stairs run." "Vell, yen | am oopstairs dey run down, and ven | am downstairs dey run oop." A salesman was dismissed be- cause of a-lack of courtesy to cus- tomers. A month later the Sales Manager spotted him walking about in a police uniform, "I see you've joined the force, Jones," said the Sales Manager, "Yes," replied Jones. 'This is the job I've been looking for all my life. On this job the customer is always wrong." T he BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY SCIENCE FOR THE CITIZEN By Lancelot Hoghben In Lancelot Hogben's astound- ing new book, "Science For the itizen," the vast field of science and what it means to man is ar- ranged into a dynamic pattern that should be wholly understand- able to almost everyone. Mr. Hogben is, as you know, the peppery, learned and prolific author of "Mathematics for the Million," that most popular of all literary numbers games. "Science for the Citizen" is the second of his "primers for the age of plen- ty." It is far and away the most valuable as well as the most inter- esting geography of science that has come this way in a long time. But Mr. Hogben not only illum- inates a huge field; he accomp- lishes his main purpose, which is to urge you to see that science has got far enough to offer an age of plenty now--if science is used for the citizen, not against him.

" BRAIN SWITCHBOARD A switchboard in the brain which relays messages from the eye to the rest of the body has been discovered. This new-found centre of brain activity was located in studies of diseased areas inside the brain. The telephone central of the human body is in the mid-brain. It co-ordinates messages received through the optic nerve to the ac- tual brain cells of sight, SPEEDS HEALING OF WOUNDS Oxygen loosely locked up in grain of white powder is reported as a new treatment for healing wounds rapidly. Oxygen is supposed to owe its healing power in wounds to its ability to drive out the kind of bacteria -which live - without oxy- - gen. The obstacle to using oxygen has been its quick evaporation from the wound. The powder is a new product of chemistry, zinc peroxide. PULPWOOD INTO GLASS The future of Northern Ontar- fo's pulpwood industry may lie in the new plastic discoveries of the past few years.
