E. E. Johnson, prominent timâ€" ber operator of Fort William, who is deeply interested in research work of all kinds connected with forestry operations, informs us that he has found trees in the Nipâ€" igon area which have withstood the ravages of time for at least 300 years, says the Fort William Timesâ€"Journal. From the rings in the trees it is found that these veterans of the forest, though not so ancient as those on the Pacific coast, were seedlings or saplings in 1639, three years before Crowâ€" well rose against Charles I, of England, and ten years before the king was beheaded. They were growing during the years when Champlain was exploring on Lakes Huron and Ontario, and while the whole of the St. Lawrence Valley was under the rule of the French company of One Hundred. They were almost big enough for pulpâ€" wood when Prince Rupert formâ€" ed the Hudson‘s Bay Company. After a year‘s existence the club applied for and received a charter under the British Columbia Socie ties Act. The meetings wore switched to a larger hall and now. with nearly 500 members, the club is considering still another move. Prof. Charles Millâ€"Tout, $tâ€"yearâ€" old intorpationallyâ€"krown anthroâ€" pologist, is hovorary president and acis as chairmay Nipizon Area‘s Veteran Trees Soon sufficient members nad joined to necessitate the use of a downtown hall. They just "got together" at varâ€" lous homes for a quiet cup of tea and a friendiy chat. Other elderly people heard of the meetings and were admitted to the group which then adopted the name of The Hapâ€" pier Old Age Club. Two years ago a few "youngâ€" minded" elderly people decided they wished to do something more than sit beside the fireplace or spend their hours in loneliness. Five hundred Vancouver "youngâ€" sters" of 60 years or more have banded together to brighten their declining years. Old Age Club Thrives in B.C. Spinning and weaving are "still as essential as ever" for fancy fabrics and porous wearing appar. el, Goldman said, but added that less than 40 per cent of fabrics manufactured in the U. S. was for wearing purposes. Goldman said the new process is applicable to wool and rayon as well as to cotton and that "the surface of the thing has merely been scratched." The process, consisting of arâ€" ranging fibres into parallel lines and then chemically welding them torcther to form a laminated sheet fabric, will provide a substitute, Goldman says, for jute textiles Rhitkerto imported from India. Among commodities which Goldâ€" man*said might be manufactured with the new fabric were burlap wrapping, baling, bags, window shades, tent materials, napkins, towels and the backing for coated fabrics, among them oil cloth and imitation leathers. A process for making cotton cloth without spinning or weayâ€" ing has been developed by M. A. Goldman of the Fibre Products Laboratory, New Brunswick, N.J.

Have Tea Ready Callers should stay only about a quarter of an hour, so anyone arriving before 3:30 p.m. will be safely away before teaâ€"time, But should someone arrive nearer 4:00 p.m., or your conversation prove so entertaining that your earlier calâ€" ler is still there when 4 p.m. apâ€" proaches, you will have to say: "Do let me get you some tea." Who Makes First Move Formal callers will leavd cards at the end of a visit, either on the table beside them or on the table in the hall, Then, whon you return such visits, in about a week‘s time, leave cards similarly, and choose your time and length of stay to corâ€" respond with theirs.
