Jasper Offers - Alpland Skiing Terrain 18 Eminently 8uit- able For Ski Mountaineering --Safe Skiing, No Obstacles As skiing becomes Increasingly popular on this continent there Is a marked tendency towards ski mountaineering, that fs, following dlpland terrain\ over a serles of high camps, and no more suitable country "could bo found for this type of skiing than Jasper Nation- al Park in the Canadian Rockles, according to C. VW. Johnston, gen- eral passenger (traffic manager, Canadian National Railways. "To meot this demand, routes have been esfablished which centre around Maligne Lake, affording long and short trips with accommodation in comfortable chalets," he sald. There has been a mistaken idea that high country skiing is for the expert only, stated Mr. Johnston, but the truth is thai tho alplands make for safer skiing as there are no obstacles, There are trem. endous stretches of open country offering every kind of skiing and every type of terrain. "That might sound as though the skler has to ~~ -- climb for a couple of hours or more - |-each day to get his skiing" stated Mr. Johnston, "but that, too, fis a mistaken idea about Canadian Rockies skiing." 1940 Potato Crop Back To Normal ~~"in Canada -- This Year's Har. vest Will Be Approximately 12 Per Cent Above 1939's After two years of below-av- - erage crops, an approximately - normal potato crop is being har- vested in Canada in 1940. Ac- cording to the first- official es- timate, the 1940 potato produc- tion is placed at 40,859,000 cwt., which is 4,469,000 cwt., or 12 per cent above that of 1939. Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia have slightly larger potato crops than in 1939, while Quebec . and New Brunswick show appre- ciable increases. On the other hand, the Ontario potato crop is reported at a very low lev#lp due to root rot in the southwestern part of the province, and to late blight. The Manitoba potato crop was somewhat disappointing, but in Saskatchewan and Alberta improvement in yields is report- ed. The British Columbia potato crop was also somewhat better than in 1939, ; The first estimate figures are as follows: Canada, 40,859,000 ewt. from 545,000 acres, compar- ed with 36,390,000 cwt.,, from 517,700 acres in 1939; yields per acre, 76 ewt. in 1940; 70 cwt. per acre in 1939. By Provinces, in cewt. with the 1939 figures with in brackets: Prince Edward 'Is. land, 4,749,000 (4,440,000); No- va Scotia, 2,313,000 (2,038,000); New Brunswick, 6,082,000 (5,- 039,000); Quebec, 12,733,000 (10,737,000) ; Ontario, 6,633,000 (7,247,000) ; Manitoba, 1,646,000 (2,016,000); Saskatchewan, 2, 548,000 (1,721,000); Alberta, 2,015,000 (1,219,000); British Cloumbia, 2,240,000 (1,988,000). Comet in December De Lisle Garneau, Montreal amateur astronomer, points out that the best way for astronomi- cal enthusiasts to pick out Cun ninghanys Comet is to look in the northwest 'sky between the con stellaticns of the Lyre and the ° Swan.

This challenging question is asked in an editorial in the cur- rent issue of the: magazine "Health", a Canadian publica- tion. "Why is the health and welfare of the average young man and woman not an essential objective in peace-time as well as in war- time?" the editorial asks, . When the suggestion was made in peacetime to examine the young men of the nation to de. termine their fitness or their un fitness the cry was raised "im- possible", Today, with a war on, the edi- torial states, medical examina. tion of Candaa's young men fs proceeding apace, Every doctor in Canada is a medical examiner to be paid by the government, Maintains Health Services What was once considered im- possible is now being done, the editorial says, The editorial goes on: "When one considers that in war the fit are sacrifices on the altars of Mars and the unfit left at home a situation is discovered which should demand -the attention of all political leaders." The editorial commends a re- cent statement of Hon. Harold Kirby, Minister of Health for On- tario, who called attention to the importance of a concerted health program if Canada is to prose- cute the war efficiently. "One wishes that other minis- ters of health might present the case with equal vigor", states the editorial. "This journal is of the opinion that if health conserva- tion is logical in peace-time it is essential in war-time, and health service is war service. If civiliua morale is to be kept at a high level all health services must be maintained. and indeed improved. Education of the public to this end should proceed forthwith."

Bees As Messengers The Chinese have made use of the knowledge that as long as the same queen bee rules the hive it can be moved a distance of miles, and all the bees will return to it. This has led to the introduction of the "bee mail," in areas oc- cupied by the enemy.. With the help of microphotography, plans and messages can be transcribed on tiny pieces of paper and sent through enemy territory attached to the leg or wing of a bee. The . message or plan is photographed and reduced in size, and when it gets bo its destination is decipher- ed with the aid of a microscope.
