Last year some of the crop was not picked up until the prices were depressed. But this year the shortâ€" ness of the yield will assure the farmers of a market for all their grapes, he believed. The wet season also contributâ€" ed to the light crop. But although the season has been late all year the crop is now coming on very swiftly. When there is a light erop the grapes mature more quickly than if the vines reâ€"loadâ€" ed down. is that the yield of the vineyards last year was more than average. Usually a light crop follows a heavry crop. It is better for the vines not to have two heavy crops in succession. Grapes in the Niagara district this year will be about a 55 per cent crop only, T. J. Mahony of Hamilton stated last week. Nevâ€" ertheless the quality of the grapes is excellent.

Today the manufacture of beds and mattresses comprises one of Canada‘s major industries. 2° /4s Docl estimated that the average person spends oneâ€"third to oneâ€"half of his entire life sleeping, says the Kitchener Record. Sir Robert Borden once said to & newspaper correspondent that he only required four hours of sleep a day, during the earlier, hardâ€" est working days of his career. Usâ€" ing that as a yardstick, most of us are sleepy heads. Doctors tell us wo should sleep eight hours a day. The custom of sleeping is as anâ€" cient as time, yet beds, as we know them, are of comparatively recent vintage. Originally, a bed consisted of merely a hollowed out place in the earth. With the development of civilization came the inevitable desire for greater comfort. Egypâ€" tians were probably the first to sleep in elevated bedsteads. They even had mattresses made from dried rushes sewn into cloth covâ€" erings. The Romans copied their bed styles from the Greeks who had open couches, with mattresses of feathers Or wool. In turn the Roâ€" mans introduced the first real beds Into England.

The boys, Scouts Jerry Asmussen and "Scotty" Buchanan of North Battleford, Sask.,. were themselves slightly injured, but this did not prevent them going at once to the aid of their fellow travelers. The Boy Scouts of Canada have been given a new wartime service job. This is the collecting of used medicine bottles to augment the supplies at military hospitals. The collection is being made at the reâ€" quest of Lt.â€"Col. J. S. Jenkins of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps, at Ottawa. Many thousands of bottles already have been colâ€" lected at Saint John, N.B., London, Ont., Calgary, and Victoria, B.C. SCOUTING . . . I have often thought that we should not fish at all before this date, . for even if we put back the bass we may catch when we are after sunfish and crappies, we are disturbing the nests, alâ€" lowing hungry enemies to make away with the young fry. When this happens many times in a seaâ€" son the future supply of bass may be endangered. We can best conserve these fish by protecting the adults unâ€" til after July 1st in our waters. For the first few weeks of life these bass live on the minute water fleas but when they reach a length of an inch they turn to other tiny fish for their food. The adult large mouth eats fishes almost exclusively, though they have been known to take frogs, snakes and other water creatures. In the Rideau waters I have obâ€" served this species considerably, they feed on sunfish to a great extent. I have taken a bluegill as large as the palm of myâ€"hv;nd from an old timer that I caught near Washburn. guards the bed and keeps the water in circulation with his fins, sweeping away the sediment unâ€" til the eggs are hatched.

I have taken them in numâ€" bers in the Rideau canal above Kingston, where the old stumps of the drowned lands stick above the water, and I have taken them in the shore swamps and the little lilyâ€"pond lakes of the Georgian Bay region.

General Charles de Gaulle who has landed at Duala (2) and taken over Cameroons for Free France is likeâ€" wise engaged. With the Italians stalled at Sidi Barrani (8) the British have bombed the Italian base at Tobruk. They also bombed the Assab and Djibutiâ€"Addis Ababa railway (4). The Italians retaliated by raiding Aden (5). The island of Madagascar, which has thrown in its lot with the Vichy government, is being blockaded by the British navy (6). Hitler Flouts Stalin? It was difficult to gauge from this distance exactly what was happening in the Black Sea and the eastern Mediterranean. Ruâ€" mors flew thick and fast: that Russia,. was quietly seizing the Danube ports; that Britain, Rusâ€" sia, Turkey and Greece were joining together to stop further German â€" penetration eastward; Large concentrations of Gerâ€" man and Russian troops faced each other across the Danube last week near the Rumanian port of Galatz as one of the tenâ€" sest situations yet to develop during the war neared its crisis. Germany feared bombing by Britons, or Russians, of Rumanâ€" ian oil fields; Moscow felt inâ€" creasing alarm over reported German plans for a Near East drive across the Dardanelles; Turkey and the other Balkan States, Bulgaria, Greece and Yugoslavia, trembled at the fate that would be theirs when next Germany and Italy decided to march.

A threeâ€"day sensation was creatâ€" ed in Canada by the Charlottetown speech of Conservative House Leadâ€" er R. B. Hanson who let slip the secret information that 10,000 more R. A. F. men (aside from the Comâ€" monwealth Air Training Plan) were on their way to Canada. Premier King was outraged and quite a storm blew up over the incident. Canada‘s Week In a momentous speech at Dayâ€" ton, Ohio, last week, President Roosevelt defied the three powers, Germany, Italy and Japan, He pledged & total defense for the Americas, and announced in the boldest terms continued support for Great Britain. Far East Naval Bases _ As part of its "stop Hitler" proâ€" gram the Administration at Washâ€" ington was working to secure navâ€" al and airbase facilities in South America . . . as part of a "stop Japan" program, U. S. diplomats were bolieved to be negotiating with Britain for a string of Far Eastern naval bases from New Zealand to Singapore, in exchange for further war aid. To End War This Year? It was by no means certain that Adolf Hitlee had abandoned his plans to invade the British Isles. Total air war against the British people had already begun, and if Hitler were, as most experts believâ€" ed, making one grand effort to win the war this year, the invasâ€" ion attempt would have to come before winter closed down. Rocsevelt Defies Axis Was Hitler not afraid of the enâ€" trance into the war of Britain‘s nonâ€"belligerent ally, the United States? He might have decided, as the Kaiser did, that America‘s parâ€" ticipation, owing to lack of preâ€" paredness, would have small effect. But what would he make of the transfer of U. S. "flying fortressâ€" es" to Britain, plus torpedo boats plus financial aid for London? Did he think the elections would hold the U. S. back? Perhaps it was a question of "now or never" with Hitler. "Time" Newsmagazine, October 14, said: "It seemed certain last week that the war‘s centre of grayâ€" ity was tending south; that Germâ€" any would soon play some taking cards in the Mediterranean area. The worst that could happen would be everything at once: invasion of Britain, a Spanishâ€"based blow at Gibraltar, a Germanâ€"s up port e d Blitzkrieg across Egypt to the Suez Canal, an Italian drive down the Nile, turbulence in the Balkans and a diversion through Turkey, blasts here and there at Perim, Dakar, perhaps at Singapore with the help of the eager little Japanâ€" ese." o New Nazi Strategy Authoritative circles in Lonâ€" don last week said that Hitler‘s latest plan seemed to be: to deâ€" liver the main punch into Musâ€" solini‘s faltering invasion of Egypt (a telling blow had been dealt the Italian fleet in the Mediâ€" terranean by the British cruiser, Ajax, which sank three destroyers in a victorious naval angageâ€" ment); to harrass the British Isles with raiders as often and as powerfully as the weather and British defenses permitted; to atâ€" tempt to weaken the flood of war materials from the United States to Britain by getting the United States embroiled in war with Japan. Russia‘s Alternatives Russia, on the other hand, had three alternatives: she could enâ€" courage Turkey to resist and offer her all aid short of war; she could divide Turkey and the other Balkan states with Gerâ€" many taking the half she wanted; or she could counterâ€"invade Ruâ€" mania at the risk of war with Germany. (The Soviet Army pubâ€" lication Red Star declared that Russia‘s armies must be kept in "constant â€" mobilized preparedâ€" ness" because of the "tense inâ€" ternational situation"). look the fact that the Russian Air Force would be in a position to batter at the Rumanian oilfields from many closeâ€"up bases if preâ€" sent tension results in Russoâ€" Rumanian hostilities. Even an antiâ€"Axis attitude of watchful waiting on Russia‘s part would free Turkey to invite British help in repelling a German inâ€" vasion"). cannot overâ€" ONTARIO ARCHIVES § TORONTO so.
