i the Commission, is moving ahead rapidly with the gurvey of that area proparatory to deciding the definite site for the $10,000 dam to be built in the marsh district. Owing to the fact that the survey work will not be completed for avout two more weeks and that afâ€" ter that sufficient time would be necded to draw plans and seek teuâ€" ders, it will be too late to start acâ€" tral work this fall. Large Storage Dams The entire Grand River conserâ€" vation scheme, with its series of large storage dams, strategically loâ€" eated, is expected to cost more than $2,000,000, of which the Dominion Govermment and the Provincial Government have promised to pay 3%% per cent. each, leaving 25 per «ent. for the municipalities to be benefited by the works to contriâ€" bute. At a recent meeting of the Comâ€" mission a committee was appointed to interview the Governments again with regard to paying the entire eost of the project and relieve the municipalities of an added taxation burden. When the first large dam is conâ€" structed, it is expected that about 500 men will be given work for at least six months.

The 1938 crop was valued at $3,849,000, compared with $2,245,000 in 1937. Although the quality of the crop was generâ€" ally good, prices were somewhat lower than in 1937 owing to the heavy supplies. Only 10 per cent. of the 1938 crop was estimated to have been made into sugar as comâ€" pared with 25 per cent. in 1937. Lots Of Sugar, Too Production of syrup in Ontario amounted to 570,800 gallons as comâ€" pared with 439,700 gallons last year. Maple sugar production toâ€" talled 79,000 pounds. The combined value of sugar and syrup produced in 1938 by Ontario was $853,200.

Hitler is a master of staging, an artist at playing on other people‘s emotions. Into his words as an orator he puts all the elementary foree and stupendous vitality that are his to command. Screaming, sobbing hysterically . . . . Germany to revolt against the Treaty of Versailles. By what means he is accomplishing his ends, we all know. A native of Austria, the oneâ€" time bricklayer‘s helper and paintâ€" er of picture postcards, was emâ€" bittered towards his lowly lot early in youth. The war expandâ€" ed his horizon and with it, his disâ€" content. The shame of Germany‘s defeat acting on his overemotional nature became _ a â€" determining force in Hitler‘s life. He has felt his divine mission to be to awaken This man has caught the counâ€" tries of Europe napping. They did not believe that a soâ€"called mystic, visionary, fanatic (what you will) could be a coldly pracâ€" tical planner. Not until Austria had been annexed did we wake up to the fact that this wildâ€"eyed dreamerâ€"orator is swiftly turning into reality and> substance, the shadows of his own mind. We are finding, too late, that Hitler in his autobiography, "Mein Kampf‘" (written 15 years ago) meant exâ€" actly what he said. To citizens of our Western World these last tense weeks Adolf Hitler of Germany has apâ€" peared to be the most momentous figure in all history, by whom our civilization stands or falls. ADOLF HITLER In Canada After leaving the Whimsies, Guph continued on his journey. He wantâ€" ed to get to the Country of the Growleywogs, and in order to do thit he must cross the Ripple Land, a hard thing to do. For the Ripple Land was a succession of hills and valleys, all very steep and rocky, which changed places constantly by rippling. ‘While Guph was climbing a hill it sank underneath him and became a valley, and while he was descending into a valley it rose up and carried him to the top of a hill. The "horse and buggy days" were important in the developâ€" men of Canada and of Canadianâ€" ism. They produced the men and women who made the present era, with its conveniences and comâ€" forts. They made these modern days possible. HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS We have no quarrel with those who refer to the "horse and bugâ€" gy days." It is an apt term, very descriptive of an earlier era. But there is a sound objection to those who use the phrase in a tone of scorn. Thus, when one refers to the ‘"horse and buggy days" it would be better to do so in a spirit of respect, rather than a spirit of sarcasm.â€"Windsor Star. The Philadelphia prison horror grows worse as the details are reâ€" vealed. Twentyâ€"six men were locked in the eightâ€"byâ€"ten cells, and steam heat turned on while the only ventilation was from a small grating in the roof of each cell. Twentyâ€"two men were taken out unconscious after two days, and four men were dead, literally baked to death. This is civilization in Philadelphia.

Tight shoes are the greatest blessing on earthâ€"they make you forget all your other troubles.â€" F. Billings. Even the obdurate citizen who still refuses to acquire a (radio) set will not easily escape the voice of authority, for it is planned to spread a network of loudâ€"speakers over all the towns so that the German going about his ordinary occasions sHkall not miss the inâ€" structions of his leaders. Loudâ€" speaker columns in the streets and subterrancan loudâ€"speakers boomâ€" ing through gratings in the paveâ€" ment will impress even on the most heedless citizen the latest edicts of Nazi headquarters. When the full blast of this propaganda is added to that of a nress comâ€" pletely controlled, th _..alization of public thought will, it is reckâ€" oned, be as complete as it can be made. The German who may still be independent enough to wish to hear what the rest of the world is saying does so at his peril, for consignment to a camp may be the consequence of receivâ€" ing sentiments of which his govâ€" ernment does not approve. The total effect is a smothering of thought in an intelligent people for which history holds no parallel. â€"Manchester Guardian.

This mean about 2,000,000 bushâ€" els. During the last fiscal year Germany bought 1,935,836 bushâ€" els from this country and the year before 1,678,896 bushels, accordâ€" ing to Dominion Bureau of Statisâ€" tics figures. A spokesman said that in acâ€" cordance with the Germanâ€"Canaâ€" dian trade agreement, an average quantity of grain was purchased annually i1 Canada. The German Department of Food Supply stated this year‘s purâ€" chases of wheat in Canada probâ€" ably would not exceed the normal quantity. It is expected at Ottawa _ that practically the entire Canadian crop will be handled by the Canadiâ€" an Wheat Board, which will pay the Western farmer 80 cents a bushel for No. 1 Northern at Fort William. The price also has been fixed on other grades and any losses sufferâ€" ed by the board in marketing the wheat at a lower price will be met by the Dominion Treasury. Ccermany To Buy No Extra Wheat Home consumption of wheat likely will be between 110,000,000 and 120,000,000 bushels, leaving more than 230,000,00 for export. In Washington, the United States Agricultural Department estimated the U.S. wheat crop would be 939,â€" 972,000 bushels. The U.S. has anâ€" nounced a siubsidy program for exâ€" port of 100,000,000 bushels of wheat and 5,000,000 barrels of flour.

Answer: Greece is becoming more and more closely affiliated with Britain and France and the other democratic powers. How long has this been going on? Oh, for years and years, but nobody has said anything much and the growers have consistently got away with it. But now a storm has been raised in the press of Ontario which may result in action being taken. DECEITFUL FRUIT â€" Those peaches you bought looked wonâ€" derful in the store under their deâ€" ceptive covering of rosy gauze but when you got them home, you found them to be green as grass and hard as bullets. But it isn‘t just peaches . . . every sort of fruit grown in Ontario is saipped to market in an immature, unpalatâ€" able state in order to catch the best prices, quick, before they drop. The Ontario mayors who get pretty mad sometimes should be pleased with these proposals which should bring more revenue to their respective towns and cities, and reâ€" duce the number of sales of proâ€" perties for tax arrears. Three new sources of taxation are under consideration, then, by the staff at Queen‘s Park and will come up for action at the next sesâ€" sion of the Legislature: an amuseâ€" ment tax, to be collected by each municipality; a sales tax imposed by municipalities; increase of proâ€" vincial gasoline tax from six to seven cents extra proceeds to go ‘o muncipalities. «â€" ON WITH THE NEWâ€"The money has to come from somewhere. So if part of the tax burden is lifted from real estate (which would be a good thing, don‘t you agree?) ojher new taxes will have to be imposed, so the Ontario Government says, to make up the difference. Upon the wall of the Feldherrnâ€" halle in Munich, which has been made into a Nazi shrine, is a great scroll bearing the words, "God Make Us Free" and on either side five wreaths, with flowers renewed every day. Each wreath carries the color of a lost province and not a day passes without tens of thousands of Germans coming there and mourning their loss. _ Ten names are inscribed on the scroll, the names of "the lost provinces": Alsaceâ€"Lorraine; the Palatinate; Schleswigâ€"Holstein; East Prussia; Memel and Danzig; Sudeten Deutâ€" schland; South Tyrol _and South Styria, Posen, Silesia; the Colonâ€" jes.
