"They come from such places as King William's Land," she said, in and interview at Winnipeg recently, "Most of them can't speak any Eug- lish when they arrive, but they soon learn. From five to fifteon years of age they all enter Grade I. The type of educjtion they re- ceive encourages them to make ful ler use of their native arts and tal- ents for making a living in the North." PREPARED FOR NORTHERN LIFE Sewing is one of the chiof de- lights of the girls, and the boys are quite good mechanics, she sald. There are about 100 children in the school.

Record Is Set In Gold Output Quantity and Value In 1939 at All-Time Peak for Canada Quantity and value of gold pro- duced in Canada during 1939 were the greatest ever recorded in the ---history of the Canadlan mining in-_ dustry, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics said recently in its an- nual review of the industry. Production of new gold from all primary sources (olalied 5,094,379 fine troy ounces, compared with 4,- 725,117 the previous year.

Lesser quantities were recovered in the Yukon, Saskatch- * ewan, Nova Scotia, The Northwest Territories and Alberta.

Data on production in Rus- sia is not available but It has beon stated that Russian output is be- tween 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 fine ounces a year, the bureau repbried. New Highways Invite Tourists Topnotch Scenic Highways-- the Banff - Jasper And Big Canada * The fame of Canada's two newest aconic highways -- the Banfl-Jasper and the Big Bend -- is widespread, - . aocording to a recent letter recely- ed by the Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, from a Vancou- ver motorist who sends In a vivid * description of his first trip over the new roads, "We took particular pains," he gtates; "to check with American "tourists 'on their trip over the Banft-Jasper Tighway and they were all most enthusiastic.

DECLINE IN HEALTH FADS Health-conscious: Americans-- and they are legion--dre- about to abandon their "screwy" health fad ideas, says Prof. Arthur H. Steinhaus of George Williams Col- lege. Unscientific Beliefs They are going to drop beliels that a strong sun tan is good for one, that shrimps and straw. berries should never be taken to- gether, that irregular eating is a common cause of stomach trouble and many -others unsupported by scientific investigation, Pro f. Steinhaus asserted in an inter- view at Chicago last week. "Screwy" Ideas "Some other 'screwy' ideas still entertained by some health en- thusiasts are these: "Bow legs result when babies are permitted to walk too carly in life. (It's the diet that's re- sponsible). "An outdoor walk is invigor- ating because there is more oxy- gen in the open arm. "The human body renews all of its parts gnee every seven years. "Acid foods never should be taken with milk. "Poor posture is one of the causes of tuberculosis. "Regular physical exercise will increase one's resistance to most (This has been" proved false by scientific tests. Healthful living, but not exercise of itself helps resist germs.) "The chewing ,f hard. foods will strengthen the enamel of the teeth. (It helps the gums, "but not the enamel.) "An athlete should refrain from eating sweets and ice cream™ while he is in training. (On the contrary sweets form rapid source of energy.)" Nixon: "By the way, what is your profession?" Dixon: "Mine is not a pro- fession, it is a pursuit. [ am' a debt collector." $1,000,000 For RAF.

Following this, the machine was purchased b his son-in-law, Veqrnon Mec- Arthur, who has used the binder for the last eight years, and says "it is still in good working' order. : the most Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE >> 1.
