Fleming Gave Us Standard Time
Sir Sandford Fleming, one time chief engineer for
the Dominion Government, gave the world the time
measurement system which we know as Standard
Time.
Sir Sandford Fleming was a native of the Fifeshire
town of Kirkcaldy, in Scotland. In 1845, at the age
of 18, he came to Canada, joining in the rush of Scots
to this country about that time, a rush that included
a number of men who achieved prominence in the
building of the nation.
He became a railroad construction engineer, made
rapid progress in his profession and at Confeder
ation in 1867, when he was forty years of age, he
was appointed chief engineer for the new Canadian
Government.The difficulty of measuring time upon this broad
continent, the inconveniences experienced with rail
road and telegraph communication, determined him
to find a solution. The system of measuring time
from noonday when the sun was directly overhead
was in vogue in Canada, the United States and Eur
ope, but something more definite and certain had to
be evolved. Sir Sanford conceived it, and presented
his theory to the world at a meeting of the Royal
Canadian Institute held at Toronto in 1878.
His theory was that time measurement should be
by meridians fifteen degrees apart in longitude and
covering the entire continent. It took time, of
course, to convince the conservative elements in
Canada that his proposal was sound, and it took still
longer to bring Washington and London to his way
of thinking, but he succeeded in winning to his side
two eminent rulers. King Humbert I of Italy, and
Czar Alexander II of Russia. Russia with its vast
expanse of country eastward had problems similar
to the Canadian difficulties. These two sovereigns
sent out in 1879 invitations to a world conference on
the subject to be held in Rome in 1882.
Before the conference the Czar had been assassin
ated and the gathering at Rome adjourned to meet
in Was^gton the following year.
The Washington conference adopted the Sandford
Fleming proposal to standardize time by meridians
and in a very few years it came into being in every
leading country of the world
It was all so very easy when explained. There are
24 hours in a day and the circle of the earth is 359
degrees. Divide the degrees by hours and you gel
zones of 15 degrees each. That gives' 24 Standard
Time zones with a difference of one hour in each.
The prime or zero meridian was eventually decided
upon as Greenwich.
Sir Sanford Fleming died at Halifax in 1915. He
was busy and progressive to the end of his days in
his 88th year. *
The Trans-Canada Airway
Natural conditions devide the Trans-Canada Airway
into four distinct regions—The Mountain region,
from the Pacific coast to the foothills of Alberta; the
Prairie Region, stretching from the foothills to the
.Ontario boundary; the Laurentian area, extending
through Western Ontario as far as the Ottawa val
ley; and the Atlantic section which takes in the set
tled areas in the basin of the Great Lakes, the Eas
tern Townships of Quebec, and the Maritimes.
The Prairie region obviously presented the simp
lest construction and operating problems. There,
precipitation is light, visibility normally good, con
tour changes are gradual, and aerodrome sites requir
ing little development were obtainable everywhere.
Airway surveys commenced on the prairie section in
the summer of 1928, and aerodrome construction and
lighting installation followed. By the end of 1929,
a chain of lighted aerodromes from Winnipeg to Ed
monton via ReginflWTnd Calgary had been prepared
and a contract for the carriage of mails had been let
, to Canadian Airways by the Post Office Department.
Present practice requires radio-beam and two-way
communication stations along the airway at intervals
of about 100 miles between the terminal airports.
Adjacent to these and directly in the path of flight
secondary aerodromes arc constructed. These are not
necessarily stopping points but they afford a safe
landing in case of need. -The number of additional
intermediate aerodromes considered necessary for
safety varies with the type of country. In open,
settled farm lands, where there are no mountains and
where the weather is normally fine, they may b$
dispensed with altogether or spaced at intervals of
about fifty miles between the major airports. Owing ’
to the nature of the climate and the difficult phyhi-
cal character of the terrain in the Rocky Mountain
region and Northern Ontario where there are absol
utely no alternative emergency landing-places, the
spacing averages about thirty miles.
The Trans-Canada Airway when finally completed
•will consist of a chain of airports from 30 to 50 miles
apart reaching from Moncton to Vancouver. Al[ im
portant communities in Canada not on the line of
the Trans-Canada Airway will be connected with H
by branches, and arrangements for exchange of in
ternational traffic with the airway system of the Uni
ted States at cities near the border are being
perfected.
A Boy
\};hat Is“a hoy? . The Rotarian Magazine gives the
iollowjng answer t^pfhe above question: “The person
who is going to carry on what ydu have started. He ‘
is.^to Sit where you are sitting and attend to.things
which you think are so important, when you are gone.
You may adopt all the policies you please, but how
they will be carried'put depends upon him. Even if
you make leagues and treaties he will have to man
age them. Ho-wi.ll take your seat in Parliament, as
sume control ofiyour cities, states and empires. He
is going to move in and take over your churches,
your schools, universities corporations councils and

destiny of humanity are in his hands., so it might bewell to pay* a little attention to him'"now.”
Something To Worry AboutFor twenty-five years the world has been batteredaround like a half-submerged bean in the Niagararapids. We have been forced to , lay aside proudphrases like “the progress of civilization." We havestopped making catty remarks about the Dark Ages.It has been brought to our attention that the Greeksknew many of the things that we know, and thatthe Greeks forgot those things. We rememberthat Roman Britain had central heating and thatBritain has not had central heating since. It has
begun to occur to us that the sight of ancient ruined
cities, where beasts graze, tended by dull-witted
peasants, may have a fearfully intimate significance
for our cities, for us. Behind the voice on the radio
telephone we may well fancy the intruding whisper
of chaos and old night, whispering that inventions
may be forgotten, broken and buried under the av
alanche of events.
In almost every country dreedful things have hap
pened since 1914 and other and even njore dreadful
things constantly threaten. Even the countries
themselves change, so that in Europe and Aria the
individual may scarcely know from day to day who
he is. Living becomes too difficult to be managed by
individual efforts. There is a tendency to cower into
the herd, horns out, eyes glassy with fear.
This resort to crowd-mindedness is not good for
the human brain. That brain can withstand great
shocks, it is very tough; but there ia no rest for the
brain today, no period when it may have a chance .to
recuperate. The distribution of news is so good and
the news is so bad that there is a continuous horror
in the mind, ,with that pit of another Dark Ages al
ways opening just ahead, newspaper issue after issue,
radio news bulletin after bulletin.
Dr. Edward A. Strecker, head of the University of
Pennsylvania medical school, says that he can find
many psychiatric resemblances and few differences
between most of the 500,000 insane of the U. S.
mental hospitals and those who are motivated and ac
tuated by crowd-mindedneso.
It is also reported from Leeds, in England, that
there are cases of children who have become stam
merers through being frightened in the crisis of last
September. Around the world there is a mass fright,
and it is suggested that there may be a mass insanity
of escape.
This long-continued terror is in many of its aspects
a new thing in the world. Certainly the wide-spread
realization of the danger, due to modern facilities of
news distribution, is new. It may be said with as
surance that never before have so many ordinary
people in so many countries known for so long a time
that the very foundations of their way of living were
this unique period and not the least important fea
ture will ibe the effect of the continuous strain upon
the harassed minds of the individual involved.
TheROYAL VISITSecond Release Covering the Visit ofTheir Majesties To Ottawa, Torontoand Winnipeg.By S. J. DORNAN, C.W.N.A. Representative
on the Press Pilot Train
LOOKING BACK 23 YEARS
From the Files of The Oxford Tribune,
Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday,, June 1st, 1916
Miss Sadie Jamieson was very happily surprised
by some thirty friends last Friday night at the
home of Mrs. Hugh McNiven, Charles street west,
when they gave het a miscellaneous shower in view
of her marriage at an early date.
A very enjoyable time was spent at the home of
of Mrs. Gordon Adams, West Oxford, when some
40 friends very kindly surprised Ptes. K. E. (Earl)
Uren, and Benj. McIntyre, with a fountain pen and
wrist watch,JFred Lazenby and Edgar Adams making
the presentation.
The congregation of the Baptist Church royally
entertained the soldiers of “B’’ Company of the 168th
who are connected with the church, on Friday even
ing last. A very pleasing program was contributed by
Mrs. Wright, Miss Winders and Mr. Tune. A very
bright part of the program was the presentation of
gifts of a wrist watch, safety razors and fountain
pens to the boys by the president of the class, Law
rence Waite. Those receiving themWere: Lieut. E.
Houghton, Sergt. Watson, Corp. Chas. Cook, Lance
Corp. Thos. Carney and Ptes. J. Wall, Clem, Moul
ton, A. J Jeavons, Ed. Lockey, John Moon, Morley
Ostrander, Norman Radford, John Crown, Arthur
Routledge, Alfred Pearson, Verne Franklin, Alva
Maibee. Lieut.-Col. Mayberry presided at the meeting
and the pastor, Rev. Jos. Janes "gave splendid ad
dresses.<
At a meeting Friday night of Harris Chapter, No.
41, R.A.M., the following officers were elected: 1st
Principal, Ex. Comp. W. A. Sutherland; 2nd Princi
pal, Ex. Comp. H. P, Stoneman; 3rd Principal, Ex.
Comp. R. B. Hutt; Treasurer, Comp. W. J. Elliott;

tional Railways, and a number ofDirectors. They were there to bid anofficial adieu to Their Majesties.For many miles out of Ottawathere were crowds along the railwayright-of-way and all had a cheer forthe train.. The Royal Train, I am informed was given a splendid send-off. Arrival at Kingston we had fiveminutes to view the arrival of TheirMajesties before the Pilot train had
to move on. This old and charming
city had most elaborate arrange
ments made for the reception but
owing to the unavoidable delay on
the Atlantic, Kingston had to have
its program revised. The restricted
plans called for thirty-five minutes'
drive, following the presentation of
certain citizens. Here by the way,
there was an amusing situation,
amusing to me but not to those who
were effected; whoever was to make
the presentations after His Worship
the Mayor and his wife had been
presented, failed to do their job and
my, oh my, there were some red
faces. Kingston stole a march on all
the rest of Canada for they detained
Their Majesties one hour longer than
had been planned^ with the result the
Pilot train was halted in order to
keep “the block". On the outskirts
of Cobourg the both trains were side
tracked for the night, and one min
ute after the Pilot train was stopped,
I tested the train telephone and
called my good friend, Clarence
Charters, at Brampton, to consult
with him.
Arriving in Toronto, the Queen
City, the reception was yet another
triumphal entry of Canada’s King
and Queen to one of the principal
cities of the Dominion, and the wel
come was a real emotional affair.
The press separated on arrival, some
going to the City Hall. I was assign
ed to the Parliament Buildings, there
to a reserved seat over but to the
right of the two Throne chairs. I had
a splendid view of this historic occas
ion and enjoyed having many dis
tinguished citizens of the province
pointed out to me, as they occupied
reserved seats on the floor of the
Chamber. I was quick to find Mr.
and Mrs. C. V. Charters of Bramp
ton; Mr. and Mrs. James of Bowman-
ville, and Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Hebb,
of Newmarket, seated convenient to
the Hon. George Howard Ferguson
and Mrs. Ferguson. The proceedings
in the Chamber were very dignified
but loyal Ontario citizens, for there
were many from out of th city of
Toronto, cast dignity aside and a
wild burst of applause greeted their
beloved Sovereigns.
The Dionne Quintuplets, who Vad
been enjoying a private presentation
to Their Majesties, were brought
through the Legislative Chamber
and all those present enjoyed a very
, lovely sight. I do not care to enlarge
on this story of the Quints as it will
be played up by the daily writers.
Hart House Luncheon was another
glorious function. This writer was
honored with an invitation to this
event, also to WoodbineX Park for
the running of the King’s Plate
Race. H. E. Rice, Vice-President
of the C.W.N.A., and Mrs. Rice,
.also represented the Ontarii Week
lies at the Haft House luncHeon.
Another history making day is
about to end. Shortly Their Maj
esties will 'be given a loyal send-off
by Toronto, the city of b/auty with
a grand future.
By the way I am in pullman err
“Bowmanvil’e,” which daily reminds
me of my dear friend, George James,
our Immediate Past President.
After leaving Toronto we were all
deeply‘impressed with a huge crowd
gathered at Midhurzt; here It wasestimated that 5,000 autos could beseen and the people went wild withdelight; there was a profusion ofdecorations.Regarding the Woodbine functionwhere a very disappointing crowd, asfar as size, saw the horse of GeorgeMcCullagh win; there was much regret and decided expression givenby the crowd that the jockey was
not presented to His Majesty. The
crowd yelled “take the jockey up,
take the jockey up," but the gallant
jockey was not presented and it was
certainly his handling of the horse
which brought it in first.
Personal tit-bits. His Majesty at
tends to matters of state while on
the Royal train between stops; Her
Majesty spends much time reading
and in conversation with her Ladies
in Waiting; presumably on matters
of dress, etc. Their Majesties have
expressed a command that the Royal
train be slowed up at every place
where the engineer of the locomotive
sees a large gathering of citizens;
this is communicated to the King by
a bell in his car which is attached to
a button in the locomotive.
There has ‘been a tremendous de
mand upon the occupants of the Filot >
train for letters from the train; this
is due to the fact all letter bear tne
postmark which is composed of the
Royal Standard with the words “Roy
al Train"; I have mailed about a

Winnipeg citizens augmented by
200,000 thousand from outside the
city, many of them from the United
States, gave Their Majesties a real
western acclaim; the rain which had
been falling all the morning did not
appear to dampen the enthusiasm. It
was noticeable that His Worship
Mayor Queen was the only one of
the city fathers to wear a silk hat,
the rest of the Aidermen wore the
regular head wear. The singing of
several massed choirs of children in
this city left a deep impression on
Their Majesties. In fact the first
Western city to greet the Sovereign
did it in a manner which was col
ossal.

No More Sleepless Nights
Due To Annoing Mosquitoes
Thanks to the genius and persis
tence of scientific research, a super
effective insect repellent lotion is
now available. It will enable people
to escape from the misery usually
experienced during the insect infes
tation period. This new product is
obtainable for the first time this year
in drug stores, grocery stores and
other retail establishments. This lo
tion actually has a pleasant odnur,
is non-oily, is easy to apply, is non-
injurious to wool, cotton or silk, and
may be used with perfect safety for
infants as it is harmless to the most
sensitive skin.
The scene w*as the West in the
gold boom days. A man vamossed out
of town one jump ahead of a posse
cf indignant citizens. He managed
to cross the .border into the next
State where.they asked him what he
had done. “They accused me o’
cheatin’ ’em,” said the man. “Yuh
see, I was a storekeeper, and they
claimed I sanded my sugar—with
gold dust!"

On Board the Royal Train
Like a burst of thunder, 100,000
people massed on Dominion Square,
Montreal, greeted the King and
Queen when Their Majesties appear
ed on the balcony of the Windsor
Hotel, prior to entering the banquet
room; again after repeated calls
were made *by the crowd, both the
King and Queen left the banquet
table to appear on the balcony. Un
doubtedly the people of the largest
city in Canada took the Royal visit
ors to their hearts.
Having to leave Windsor Hotel,
during the time of the banquet, the
press party was escorted by a num
ber of the mounted police; no person
could move through the immense
throngs without the aid of these
manly officers of the law. On arrival
at the pilot train there was time to
file a number of telegraphic messages
before the signal, to go, was given.
Late that night, the both trains
halted at Caledonia Springs for the
rest period. Bright and early Jhis
writer was around and had a first,
hand view of the elaborate plans
made for the safety and protection
of the Royal party; there were mem
bers of the R.CjM.P. and a large
number of railway officials, attending
to every detail; it is at such stops
as this that the locomotives of both
trains are serviced and cleaned,
ready for the trip of the following
day.
All along the route to Ottawa,
there were numerous small commun
ities and each had its full quota of
ctiizens lined along the railway line.
I happened to notice one impressive
thing, an aged man was standing in
the midst of a field of about twenty
acres and he was at the salute. I
sincerely hope, fie was there when
the Royal party passed; it was notice
able that many childretrwere trained
to bow and salute as the train
passed.
.Arrival in Ottawa, the capital
city of Canada was a stirring event.
There were miles of bunting and
loyal decoration with the usual
cheering crowds. The press party
was escorted to the Chateau Laurier,
the hotel de luxe of Canadian
people, where we made our head
quarters during our stay in the city.
The arrival of Their Majesties in
this beautiful city was greeted with
a salute of 21 guns. The arrival took
place at a specially erected platform
in a suburb of the city, from whence
the triumphal procession commenced.
I had the distinct honor of a place
in the Senate Chamber where history
was- written; here it was that His
Majesty sat for the first time on His
Canadian Throne and gave royal
assent to seven bills, which as a re
sult of this gracious act, has become
law. Seated on His Majesty's left, on
her Throne, was Our Gracious
Queen* dressed in regal grandeur
and wearing that charming sweet
smile which has already endeared her
to the millions of people who have
seen her. The Senate Chamber was
a most gorgeous scene; it was pack
ed with Senators with their ladies
and members of the aristocracy of
the capital; the galleries were throng
ed with a galaxity of color; facing
the throne were several members of
Their Majesties’ suite in their full
dress uniforms, whjle the ladies wer<\
stunning in their evening attire.
Following the formal announcement,
the Black Rod retired to the House
of CoiAmons and summond the Mem
ber of that House to attend in the
Senate Chamber to hear His Gracious
Majesty give assent to some bills.
There was a huge crowd of the
Members packed behind the bar of
the chamber. (Members of the House
of CommorfsXare not permitted to be
on the floor of the Senate Chamber,
until; but that's another story).
During the afternoon the members
of the press party each received an
engraved .card from His Excellency,
The Governor General, The Lord
Tweedsmuir, announcing that by
Command of Their Majesties, the
press members were to attend a re
ception at Government House that
afternoon. This was the highlight
of the trip so far for the writers;
lined around a reception room m
single file, we awaited the entry of
Their Majesties; some wondered
what to do, but this fear or dread
was soon dispelled when The King,
accompanied by the Queen, entered
and in a most informal manner
walked around the c.irele and greeted
each one present. Her Majesty
came first, and Mr. Walter Thompson,
the Chairman of the Press Commit
tee, introduced each one by announ-
sing the name and the paper they
represented. When it came thia
writer's turn, I was designated as
Past President of the Canadian
Weekly Press and sole representative
of almost a thousand weekly news
papers. At this Her Majesty shook
hands and said “you have some
task”; His Majesty said “wonder
ful". The impression this writer
formed can be put in a very few
words. Their Majesties are a won
derful pair; loveable and as natural
as one could dream; their handshake
was no “milk and water" affair.
There was a gentle grasp by The
Queen which made one at ease at
once, while The King gave a real
grasp, as one would expect from their
best friend.
The King wore a plain black
jacket with striped trousers and his
left hand showed a gold ring. The
Queen was petite and winsome in a
smart afternoon dress of powder blue
lace, with small jacket; she wore a
four strand pearl necklace, pearl ear
rings and white shoes; most import
ant of all she wore and has done so
since I first set eyes on her, a charm
ing and winsome smile in her own
inimitable way. It is the unanimous
opinion of the writers from the Uni
ted States, that Her Majesty is just
the sweetest person they have ever
seen or heard of. Both the King and
Queen have won the hearts of our
American friends and they arc as
sured a rousing welcome when they
go south for their charm and win
ning personalities have preceded
them by way of the American ne,ws-
papers.
Saturday, 20th, was observed as
The King’s Birthday and as such it
added splendour to the celebrations
in this city of Ottawa. His Majesty
attended the Trouping of the colors
while a huge crowd cheered them
selves tired. Her Majesty witnessed
the celebration from a window in
the East Block. Shortly, after that
The Queen, accompanied by The
King, drove to the new Supreme
Court where Her Majesty graciously
laid the corner stone and delivered
an address; this was, I am informed,
the first address The Queen has ever
made on the radio and her voice
would be heard over the world. The
weather was ideal for such outdoor
events.
At night the Parliamentary Ban
quet in the Chateau was a magnifi
cent function. All the leaders in
political life being honored with in
vitations; four of the press party
received invitations while another six
had observer positions. I was one of
the latter and viewed a wonderful
showing of the latest in evening
wear for both sexes. On the table on
front of the seat where Her Majesty
was located, sat the huge Gold Bowl,
the gift of the Canadian people to
Their Majesties. Outside the hotel,
75,000 people had gathered to see the
King and Queen, for the announce
ment had been made that they would
appear; some one slipped up and
Their Majesties were not advised of
this public appearance. During tne
banquet Prime Minister King was ad
vised that the crowd was getting out
of hand and he immediately commun
icated indirectly with the officials
and immediately Their Majesties
were advised of the crowd awaiting
their appearance. They left the
banquet room and went on the bal
cony to be acclaimed with tremen
dous cheers and the National An
them; at this time it was pouring
fain but nothing daunted the popu
lace.
Early Sunday morning it rained
heavily and did not promise a very
pleasant day for the Unveiling of the
National War Memorial. However,
as the time approached, “King’s
Weather” again prevailed and in
beautiful sunshine, Their Majesties
drove to the Memorial' The- crowd
around the Memorial and on all
available positions within sight,number 200,000/it is claimed. Stand
ing at the edge of the press stand
but outside the barrier was a small
lad, who eagerly eyed my arm band
and official badge. Having lads of
my own, I approached and handed
him a copy of the official program
and he shortly said, “Will you kindly
autograph it, sir?” However I as
sured him' the document would be
more valuable without that appen
dage. His mother took a snapshot of
the lad and myself and suggested she
would send me a copy if I would
give my address. This I gave as
"Royal Train, Canada.” This is just
one of the many touches T have
noticed on this long trip.
On the platform before the train
left Ottawa was Mr. S. J, Hunger
ford, President of the Canadian Na

BEST ALL-ROUND
CANADIAN MENU
(By Jessie Read, Home<Economist)
Every Canadian eye is focussed
toward the one major event in Can
adian history for this year. The
coming of the King and Queen fas
cinates the imagination of every
one. There is barely an idea in con
nection with commemorating the
event that has not been worked out
in some manner. Interviews With
those who are to play a major part
in their entertainment and pictures
of the places where happenings are
to take place have filled the pages
of the press for some months. Even
the food they are to eat is being
discussed and one of the leading mill
ing companies, Robin Hood Flour
Mills Limited, has sponsored a con
test with many cash prizes for the
best all-round Canadian menu that
might be served to the Royal
Visitors.
That should be rather an interest
ing subject by the way, when, you
think that- all the provinces have
dishes that are distinctly native to
that province and yet, there are cer
tain dishes that are universal across
Canada. For instance, although we
speak of British Columbia as a great
apple province, good apples are
pretty universal across the Dominion
so that Apple Pie has become a
standard Canadian dish. Serve this
with Canadian Cheddar cheese to
make it a dish that will almost sing
“0 Canada.”
Canadian bacon is a familiar way
to describe back bacon outside of
the borders of our own country.
Of course the French worifan in
Quebec will naturally think of her
delicious pea soup, so much a part of
the habitant menu; and other women
will think of corn dishes heretofore
almost unheard of in the Old Coun
try.
Salads—and in particular fruit
salads—would -be innovations to
visitors from overseas—who as a
matter of fact think that some of
our very best arrangements are
nothing but dyspeptic concoctions
bent on thoroughly destroying the
human race.
The milling company’s ingenious
idea of a “typical Canadian menu for
Royalty” should appeal to women. It
will make them put on their “think
ing caps” to figure out just what
foods arc most genuinely Canadian.
It should ibring out a lot, of interest
ing information which no one thought
of seeking before. <■

Motor Accidents At Night
The fatal motor accident rate nt
night, on the basis cf traffic, is more
than three times the accident rate
of daylight. Motor vehicle fatali
ties in tho United States during the
hours of darkness have increased 43
per cent since 1930. The entire in
crease in traffic deaths in 1937 over
those in 1936 resulted in increase in
night accidents.
Seventy-eight per cent of the acci
dents in which the driver had been
drinking occurred between 6 p.m.
and 6 a.m.
Improved lighting of highways
helps to reduce such accidents. In
Michigan reflector buttons were
placed 100 feet apart and /§. feet
from the edge of the pavement on*
80 miles of the road between Lan
sing and Detroit. In the first 3
months of 1938 there was a reduct
ion of 79 per cent in accidents on
this stretch of highway, whereas on
a control stretch of highway without
such lighting the reduction was only
19 per cent.
The night, pedestrian too is sus
ceptible to accidents. Night pedes
trian fatalities in iPhiladelphia iit-
creased from 56 per cent of the
total number of night fatalities in
1935 to 73 per cent in 1937. In New
Jersey in 1936, 67 per cent of the
urban pedestrian fatalities and 83
per cent of the rural pedestrian fat
alities happened at night. ‘
If it is necessary to walk at night
in rural areas the pedestrian should
carry a light. Even carrying a white
handkerchief helps. Because a wal
ker sees the motor’s headlights does
not mean that the motorist sees him.
Bicycle riders are in special danger.
They should carry rear lights. Driv
ers at night should avoid alcohol;
they should drive at lesser speed
than in daylight. Safe driving at
night is a challenge to the skill and
good sense of the motorist who
must ever be on the alert for every
indication of objects ahead or
changes in the road—By J. W. S.
McCullough, M.D., D.P.H. of the
Health League of Canada.

SHE COULD NEITHERWALK NOR SLEEPArm* and Feet SwollenWith RheumatismThis wothan suffered for manyyears. Pain sapped her strength untilshe lost hope of recovery. Manyicmedies were tried, but nothingbroke the grip of her crippling rheumatism. At last her husband persuaded her to try Kruachen Salts:—"My arms and feet were swollenwith rheumatism,” she writes. “Icould not walk nor get regular sleep,
and nothing did me any lasting good.
I was so hopeless of ever getting
better, I lost my good nature entirely. Then my husband persuaded meto try Kruschen Salts. After twoweeks I began to feel better. I per
severed, and in six weeks, I was
doing housework. Later I was able togo for a walk. Now I am free frompain and I feel grand.”—(Mrs.) F.W.Rheumatism is commonly caused
by deposits of uric acid crystals,which lodge in the muscles andjoints. Kruchen helps to break upthese deposits of troubling crystalsand to convert them into a harmless
solution, which is removed through
the natural channel—the kidneys.

OBEY RULES AND
AYOTO ACCIDENTS
Among the many problems wnich
will concern local authorities dur
ing the visit oi Their Majesties to
Ingersoll o<i Wednesday next will
be traffic control because accidents
□ re inevitable . . and particularly
among children . . when crowds,
comparable to those who will want
ro see the King and Queen, gather.
A little forethought however, on the
pr.rt of individuals, can prevent
much pain, suffering and incon-’en-
icr.ce.
Simple rules, imp'.icity obeyed, will
reduce the accident hazard material
ly, but it rests with the public to
co-operate and see that these ele
mentary principles are observed.
The Canadian Underwriters’ Assoc
iation has suggested that prompt
obedience to traffic rules by motor
ists is a primary requisite to the
control of the crowds and prevention
of accidents.
A heavy responsibility rests on
the shoulders of the motorist in this
regard. A fraction of a second, In
obeying an order, may mean the dif
ference between safety and accident
with all that the latter implies.
Similarly, landlords would be well
advised to inspect meticulously, bal
conies and verandahs and be certain
that they are sufficiently strong to
meet the demands which will be
placed upon them. In so doing they
may avoid actipns for damages.
Public authorities and those who
are responsible for the erection of
stands should also in theire own in
terests—and what is far more im
portant, for the safety of those who
will use them—take every precau
tion to see that they are inspected
thoroughly because oftentimes, in
the rush of work, this important
factor is overlooked.
The epochal visit of the King and
Queen will lirger long in the mem

if this visit left in its wake, an ac

record and reveal the fact that we
rot taken proper precautions for
safety.

When the wealthy foster parents ofMarjorie Wi therlll both die ehe findsletter te.llng that she has a twinMer, that she was adopted whentherwn parents couldn't ifford to supportboth of hetn and that her real nameis Dorotay Gay. Alone In the world,ut with a fortune of her own, sheonalder' looking up her own familyshorn he has never seen A neighbor,Evan .trower, tries to argue her out ofit an«’ tells her he loves her and asksher <o marry him. She promises toih nk It over hut decides first to seeher lamily. She goes to their address,finds hat they are destitute and gradually persuades them to accept thingsthey need. When the doctor calls tosee er mother she notices that heseems particularly Interested In hersiste. Marjorie goes to church tnBrentwood, where her family used toliv<. and becomes very much inter-cs.ed in the young minister there.V hlle at Brentwood she-sees the home. er fat niy formerly owned, buys It■ack fi r them and elves the deed toIt t<> her father on Christmas morning,i he whole family is very joyful.Then, through Marjorie's efforts, herfather gets ,a good job. Meanwhile,Marjorie plans to visit Chicago andGideon Reaver,- the young minister,plans to go part way on the trainwith her
But the next day wasn’t half long
enough, and sped away so fast they
were aghast. Marjorie was here and
there and everywhere, with her
mother and the children, and every
body restless because the time was
getting shorter and shorter. How
they were going to miss her, the
daughter who had only known them
a few short days!
Finally Marjorie and Gideon were
seated in the train as it moved off,
waving to the father and Ted, Then
the train swept out of the station
and they were alone.
The minister got out his pocket
Bible and again and again the two
heads were bent over the text. Mar
jorie took out her pencil and note-
O» !< and kept a great many refer
ences for her help when she got
back to Chicago alone. So the time
flew fast. It seemed only a brief
space before Gideon had to put on’
his overcoat, seize his hat and suit
case, grasp her hand for a quick
instant, and hurry to get off at Har
risburg.
He waved to her from the plat
form an instant, and then the train
moved on and she was alone. A
great desolation came over her.
Would shg ever see him again?
It was strange the next morning
to waken and find herself almost
back in Chicago, to dress hurriedly
just in time to get out and to find
her own chauffeur waiting at the
station with her car according to
orders.
The house was immaculate, the
servants all there in their places,
welcoming her, thanking her for
their holiday, apparently ready to
go on with life as she had left it
After breakfast she went from
room to room and tried to take up
the thread of life. For this one
week at least she was committed to
do nothing definite about leaving her
home. But that did not include Evan
Brower. In the afternoon she wrote
a* note to him.
"Dear Evan:_^This Is to tell you that I sot
home today and shall be glad to seeyou whenever you feel like calling.
Sincerely,Marjorie.**
The time passed very quickly and
in the afternoon she went to see
her lawyer and check up on busi
ness matters. Then just after dinner Evan Brower came.
Evan told her of the news since
she had been gone, and at last hegot out the little velvet box again.
“Marjorie,” he said in a calmvoice, “I want you to put my ring
on now and wear it.”
Then Marjorie looked calmly atEvan Brower and answered in aclear voice:
"Evan. I do appreciate your kind
ness and your thought for me, andI feel sorry that I had to be so
uncertain in the past when youtalked to me about these things.
But now that I am home again Ihave thought it all over and made
my decision. Evan, I am not going to marry you, either now or at
an) o.ther time. I am quite surethat I do not love you as a woman
ought to love a man she marries."
Evan Brower looked at her stead
ily, calmly, and slowly put the ringback in its box and the box awly
in his pocket.
"Very well,” he said quietly, de-
"Gideon Reaver said he was coming over on Monday to drive us
back home. He said you said youwere bringing your car, and I
haven’t any driver’s license yet. Hesaid I was to wire him when we
would be ready. He’s crazy tocornel"
They were hard at work packing,and there was a large van drawn up
before the door taking away furniture, some that was to be sent to
the auction rooms for sale, andsome that was to be given to the
mission, when Evan Brower arrived.
Evan Brower glared at Ted, withscarcely an inclination of his head,
and then he said savagely to Marjorie:
"Can I see you alone somewhere?"
Marjorie gave him an absentminded smile.
What was said behind that closed
door Marjorie never told him, butit must have been decisive for the
caller presently came out walkingas if he were following to the grave
after a dead hope.
The last truck was filled, andstarted on its way; the cook had
wept a farewell and had been taken
to her train en route for her sister’sin the far west; the house was lock
ed and the key handed over to thelawyer’s representative for the new
owner: and they were all comfortably seated in the big luxurious car
ready to start.
"It’s a beautiful house," remarkedGideon. "I’m so glad to have seen
Old Ladyj/^'Yoii lads ought to be
ashamed of yourselves—six of you
hitting one little boy.”
Lad—"It’s all right, ma’am. He
told us to go and steal apples out of
an orchardr-and we’re giving him a
share of* what we got.”
Or. Chase’s Ointment
“Sure thing!" said Ted fervently
"Though this one’s all right,” headded as if he feared Marjorie’s
feelings might be hurt.
Then they wound down along the
lake shore, into the city and outon the highway for Home.
And such a drive as they had!
But oh, that homecoming. Howprecious it wasl To be folded in
her mother’s arms and to knowthat she was at homel To watch
the lovelight on her father’s (peeas he said: "Welcome home, my
daughter!" To feel the children'seager sticky kisses and hear their
screams of welcome. To see realjoy in Betty’s face, real welcome!
Ahl That was better than all theother world had to offer her.
And then to drive hastily over toBrentwood and meet the trucks
which had just arrived, and withBetty direct where things should
go. It was great!
There was Betty in the parlorwith Keith Sheridan to help, takingoff the covers from the upholsteredfurniture. And there was Gideongoing quietly about doing thingswithout having to ask what to do
next, just as if he were a son ofthe house and had always lived withthis furniture and these rooms.
“You want this here, don’t youMarjorie?” he would say, and pro
ceed to put it there.
And once in the back hall, toward
dusk, those two came hastily uponeach other, Marjorie from the way
of the kitchen, and Gideon from thebig pleasant library where he had
just deposited an armful of booksthat had been misplaced by the now
departed movers, and they ran rightinto each other. Gideon put out his
arms and enfolded her, perhaps tosave her from falling, but it became
more than that of itself as suddenlythey were close to one another, and
Gideon stooped and placed a tenderkiss on her lips.
Then, just as suddenly, while theywt;re still under the spell of the
wonder of each other’s lips, and didnot know anyone else was in the
world for the moment, there stoodBetty and Keith hand in hand.
terminedly, "if you haven’t come toyour senses yet I can wait, ofcourse, till you do."
So presently he took his leave.Finally there came a letter from
Gideon and her heart leaped up towelcome it singing a little song even
before she opened it It wasn’t along letter. It was mostly abouthis work and the questions she had
asked, and some books he was sending. But it did say how much they
missed her.
The next day Gideon sent flowers.They were crimson roses, deep and
dark. She buried her face in theirsweetness and closed her eyes as
she carried them Upstairs to herown private sanctum. She did not
want them out of her sight
And then the week was up.
Marjorie arose with a feeling thatgreat things might happen today.
Would her mother write at once,or wasn’t the week long enough for
them to decide? She had decided.She was only waiting for their word.
Would the morning mail bring heranswer?
But it came sooner than that.Thelma brought it up to her before
she was dressed. A telegram.
"We have kept our contract. Th a
time la up. We want you with all ourhearts. We feel that this Is your place
if you still want to come td us. Butnot unless you would rather come.Letter follows." \
It was signed withall their names.
Marjorie wasn't long in answer
ing that. She caught up,'Tier telephone and dictated a telegram:
"Was coming anyway, whether you
wanted me or not. Could not-atand Itwithout you. Brentwood for me! Loveto you alt Glory hallelujah!
Marjorie!"
Next morning Ted appeared on
the scene. A very properly-cladTed, looking handsome and capable.
"Mother said I was to come andhelp pack,” he said simply. "She
said you oughtn’t to be alone. Dadwould have come but he couldn’t
leave his new job, of course.”
And then when his sister fell upon
his neck and embraced him. crying
for very joy. he remarked quitecasually though in a jubilant tone:“Might a mere brother-in-law of
fer congratulations?” saiuted Keith
There was real joy in Betty’s face.
joyously, “because we’re in a post
tion ourselves to understand.”
He grinned and bowed low withhis hand upon his heart. That is,one hand. The other Betty had.
Then he looked up at the embar
rassed two who had been taken unawares and grinned.
"It’s a little soon, I suppose, tospring all this on the assemblingmultitudes,” he offered.
Marjorie with glowing checks
and dancing eyes was laughing now.
“We didn’t know anything about
this ourselves til! a minute ago I”she announced shyly.
“I believe you I” said Betty solemnly. "That's the way it came tome, all suddenly.”
"Well, I'm not ashamed of it,
though I didn’t think I dared announce my intentions so soon. ButI'm glad!*’, said Gideon solemnly.*
“Yes!" said Marjorie. "Aren’tWe?
But the rest were scurrying to
the front door to welcome thefamily.
The mother walked into her houseand stood and looked arovnd Witheyes full of wonder.j ,
“Oh, it’s too good to have all
these things at once!" she said. “Mygirl come home to Brentwood, and
all my children here!”
"Yes, Mother, dear,” chirped Betty
«rom the doorway, her hand againin Keith’s who. winked across at
__.Marjorie and Gideon, "even morewhere you were brought up/’ ’and r^2i»ren than you had ^argamed
he smiled at Marjorie. "Yes, it’s a> *

A Money-Saving Hint
To Summer Motorists
Do you know that corrosion pre
ventive used in the coolipg system
of motor car reduces the corrosion
action of water on iron and steel
9f.%, and on aluminum and radia
tor metals by 75% ?
Early every summer your car
should be taken to a competent gar
age operator for a thorough cleaning
of the cooling system by the use of
r. reliable cleaning compound, fol-
lowed by a conditioner, and finally
by pressure flushing. A corrosion
preventive is then employed which
has the same effect during the sum
mer as a good anti-freeze has in the
cold weather by preventing corros
ion clogging of the cooling system
and overheating of the engine.

and grounds covers three and a half
acres, and depicts a most fascinating
story of rubber in visual form. It
also includes a full scale tire factory
in operation, producing a tire every
four minutes, and, in addition, dis
plays demonstrating the essential
part rubber comes to play in every
day life.
Probably the most unique and'ap

Cankers on rose*
There are several canker disease,
ot roses caused by fungi. Learn to
Identify these diseases by the ap
pearance of your rose bushes, and
when pruning in the spring watch
for diseased areas.
As shown in this week’s Garden-
Graph, brown canker causes small
circular spots, with a white centre
and a reddish color towards the
outside. In the early spring the
brown canker spots enlarge unit)
they become oval shaped and a
brownish buff in color, if these
spots girdle the rose cane the cane
must be cut off just below the
canker area and burned. Any
growth above the canker area willdie.
If the cankers are small and on a
rose Vine, and you hesitate to lose
the whole branch, paint the area
with a solution of lime-sulphur
(1-9). When the roses are dormant
the entire bush or vine can be
sprayed with the lime-sulphur so

Tuberculosis
---------- /"
A correspondent writes: “I had
an argument with a fanner the
other day. He was opposed to pas
teurization of milk and said that
tuberculosis wasn’t “catching", that
it was inherited. Please tell me the
facts as I don’t want to be beaten
in the argument.’’
One would have thought that
there are few to-day who believe
that tuberculosis is inherited. But
some of the older inhabitants still
ding to the traditions of childhood;
they believe that tuberculosis is in
herited just as a few believe that the
crossing of a black c^t on the road
means bad luck.
Our correspondent’s case rests on
firm ground. Tuberculosis is definitely
a "catiching” disease. It is spread
from person to person from an open
case of tuberculosis, that is from one
shedding the tubercle bacillus in the
sputum. Tuberculosis of the bovine
type is carried in milk from cows
having tuberculosis of the udder. The
infection from both types is common
ly- acquired in childhood, and in both
cases prevention is the keynote of
control. Prevention of human tuber
culosis depends upon how success
fully the "sick can be separated from
the well,” that is to say how com
pletely the child can be removed
from association with tuberculosis
parents, brothers and sisters and
other infective associates.
Bovine tuberculosis is prevented
by the use fo pasteurized milk. In
country areas and small villages pas
teurized milk is not always procur
able. Under such circumstances the
housewife, alert in the interests of
her children’s health, may pasteur
ize her own supply. Most households
have a double boiler. If the milk is
heated in such a vessel to a temper
ature of 145 dgrees F., kept at this
temperature for 30 minutes, rapidly
cooled to 40 or 50 defrees F., and
then used for her children, the house
wife may forget about danger in so
far as milk-borne tuberculosis is con
cerned.
Inherited tuberculosis is a bogey
which was exploded more than 50
years ago. Since that date very
definite progress has been made in
lowering the'incidence and mortality
of the white plague. This progress
has been especially marked in the
present century. Dr. William Ogden
and his associates tell us in the
March, 1939 number of the Canad
ian Medical Association Journal,
that the deathrate of 160 per hun
dred thousand of population in 1900,
had dropped to 36 in 1936. The
chief disquieting feature is that the
disease is still the leading cause of
death in the ages of 15 to 45. “It
is also discouraging” say the same
authorities, that “in the last twenty
years little increase has occured in
the proportion of “early cases" ad
mitted to sanatoria.”
