Canadians is much to the fore these days, and it is desirable that the history of each county in the prvoince should be preserved. At a recent Women's Institute con- vention it was proposed that every member should write down the history of their parents, and, if possible, their grandparents. This would accomplish a great deal in preserving data, and we would add that some of the tales that have been told us of the deeds done by our forebears should also be incorporated. Our recent pioneer story competition brought forth a great deal of interesting lore of early days on the Bruce Penin- sula, which is, now available for the files of hiss rians.--"Camuiitm Echo (Wizuton).

Jack Johnson, son of the Editor of the Arnprior Chronicle, told his father that he had been attacked by a rabbit. The editor went out to the yard to see for himself and the rabbit charged without warn- ing and bit him on the leg. The rabbit was finally repulsed with I. broom. Other residents have also reported similar assaults from the white rabbit. It certainly sounds hare-raising.' Why don’t you try making your own artifiicial fishing lures and baits this year and see what satis- faction you get when one of Four own creations hooks into and lands one of those big ones? FROM A WATCHMAKER'S BENCH From a wotehmaker's bench and an optometrist’s assistance came a fishing lure this year which startled tishingdom and brought keen satis- faction to two ardent anglers who had created their own lures. The watehmakor, E. Hensler, with the able assistance of the op- tometrist, Dr. C. Inttwersen, per- fected a spoon that swims like a fish and has been used by great numbers of fishermen this last sea- son with excellent results, The two amateur tishing lure inventors started the spoon making for their own use, but found it so effective and so popular that they had to make some for fishermen friends. They are made of stainless monel metal heads and tails with ilexible bodies. Canada's favorable balance of trade in September was $8,892,- 31! compared with $13,767,663 in August and $16,697,427 in Sep- armber, 1938. port issued by the Dominion Bu. rum of Statistics.

By VIC N f A RIO UTDOORS Meanwhile the damage done by German mines, submarines to AI- lied and neutral shipping was ter- rific. Biggest sea disasters were the sinking of the British liner Rawalpindi which went down with all but 17 officers and men; the torpedoing of the Polish liner Pil- sndski. Rumors flew of mines As the third month of the wal drew to a close the sound of ton. p'ucs wagging could szill be heard above the noise of Mule ecrife. Diplomatic interrhange had l all over military action. Rusda and Finland "dared" eash other; Hungary and Rumaniau Germany slammed England; England slam. med Germany; Holland protested, Italy railed. Protest Export Seizure The Ailies' announced plan to seize German exports was re- sponsible for a great deal of the talk. Amcng neutral countries, the Netherlands were pethaps hardest hit since, during the first nine months of this year, ten mil- lion tons of German exports were transhipped through Dutch terri- tory to points abroad. Other ns- tions chiefly to be effected were Belgium, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, the United States Week by Week Cheer up! It may be a tiull war now, but think aha: wonderful reading it's going to make when the facts come out. They're start- ing, even now. We've learned, for instance, that the first air. raid alarm in Great Britain this year was sounded when a British of- ficial flew over London on his way home from a visit to the Duke of Windsor - his plane was mistaken for an "unidentified" enemy iiehip. We know now, too, why the German invasion of H01- land didn't take place the week- end of Nov. 12 - Hitler decided at the last moment to heed the advice of his generals and call it off (because Belgium would support the Netherlands). The in- side story's the thing! Be patient and you’ll fret it, eventually.
