Play-off to be arranged by the two leading teams with a single game to The organization of the Ingersoll War Charities has been completed and the campaign machinery set up in readiness to begin the task of raising funds to meet the needs of those administering auxiliary war 'services. The objective for the first year ha* been set at $25,800.00, which means that upwards of $2,000 i per month must be raised, and to se­ cure this amount a house-to-house canvass of the town is to be made t next week, commencing Monday, Oc- - tober 21st and continuing until Sat- - urday, the 26th. I During the first year of the pres­ ent war, several appeals for funds i for war charities have been made lo- r cally. In order to eliminate so many • appeals in future, an organization known as Ingersoll War Charities , has been formed. This is a collecting ■ agency for all Ingersoll organizations ’ doing war service work. Ito purpose is to consolidate all appeals and ' make only one canvass of the town for the duration of the war, by hav­ ing the citizens subscribe to regular monthly contributions. Ingersoll War Charities has been incorporated with an Ontario Charter and is registered with the Minister of National War Services under the War Charities Act 1938. This is in line with the policy of the Depart­ ment of National War Services and a policy which it is hoped will event­ ually be adopted throughout Can­ ada. We at home have a job to do that is equally as responsible to the boys that are serving in the army, the air force an dthe navy as their effort on behalf of their King and Country is to us. The government is looked upon to supply the necessities for the successful prosecution of the war; the responsibility «of those who are at home is to see that the boys are properly cared for in sickness and injury and to see that they have a few of those necessities of civilian life whiuh are classed as. luxuries over there. The organiza­ tions which the Ingersoll War Char­ ities are working for are the organ­ izations which serve in this way. The money collected in Ingersoll will be paid to the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Y.M.C.A., the Canadian Legion War Services, the Knights of Columbus Canadian Catholic Army Huts, the Lady Dufferin and Nors­ worthy Chapters of the Imperial Or­der Daughtersrof the Empire and other organizations whose appeals are considered worthy. A circular outlining objectives of the Ingersoll War Charities and appealing for public support, is to be delivered to every home in town this week-end by the Boy Scouts. On Monday the canvass of the town will be launched and citizens will be asked to sign up to become regular contributors to Ingersoll War Chari­ ties, on a monthly basis, for the dur­ ation of the war. Every citizen should want to share in. this way of helping Canada’s war effort. The public are asked to co­ operate, by considering the matter seriously and being ready to tell the canvassers the amount they are wjll- ing to subscribe when canvassers visit them. Any citizen that may be missed when the canvass of the town is made, may make their con­ tribution at the office of Ingersoll War Charities which is now open in the Town Hall Building. A public meeting is being called The people of Ingersoll and com­ munity will have the opportunity of hearing one of the outstanding speakers of the Christian church on Friday evening of this week, October 18th, at 8 o'clock, in the local Trin­ ity United Church. Rev. Dr. McClure brings a message from his own per­ sonal experience in connection with the war in China, and the work of the Red Cross and his mission work there. To miss this meeting, is to miss a rare privilege. The meeting is being sponsored by the Mission­ ary and Maintenance Committee of the United Church to which all are invited. FOLDEN’S UNITED CHURCH ANNIVERSARY The 74th anniversary of Folden’s United Church was held on Sunday with capacity congregations gathered to celebrate the event Rev. George A. Williams, an old Sweaburg boy, formerly Presbyterian Missionary to Formosa, and now Field Secretary of the Missionary and Maintenance Fund of the United Church in Tor­ onto, was guest minister. Many boyhood friends of Mr. William*, greeted him both morning and even­ ing. Mr. Williams paid glowing tribute to the early influence of the church in his life, and of the influence of his teacher, Mr. Wesley Wilford of Ebenezer Church on the Culloden gravel. In the morning, Mr. Williams brought out the great value of the church in our Christian civilization, its Divine mission, its impregnability, its invincibility, and our debt to it. In the evening, Mr. Williams told the story of World Missions and the power of love in spreading the good news to all peoples. The Foldens mixed quartette and Mrs. Wesley Osmond of Zenda, with Mrs, William McNeal at the organ, supplied the music in the morning. The College Avenue Male Quartette with Mrs. Ralph Folden at the organ, provided the music for the evening. A generous Thankoffering was given- The church at Folden’s was estab- lised in 1866, in the little school­ house, through the influence of Rev. Lewis Warner and Rev. W. H. Mus­ grove of Ingersoll, in a series of protracted meetings, to which the ■ people came in oxen-wagons through all kinds of weather. Pitch pine torches guided the people in their tramp through the bush to The Cor­ ners. The first church trustee board consisted of H. C. Wilson, John R. Waite, George Galloway, William Lowes, William Rivers, Enoch Sage, Franklin Folden and R. A.' Janes. Folden’s Church is one of the most beautiful rural churches in Ontario, having been built 29 years ago, under the pastorate of Rev. Charles Draper. Not only in archi­ tectural structure but especially in the beautiful stained glass windows there is a real worshipful atmos­ phere. Next year the 76th anniver­ sary will be fittingly celebrated.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17th, IMO Eiderdown One of the latest in Canadian industries and about which the average person knows comparatively little or nothing, w the commercial production of eider­ down. Since its inception in 1933, the industry has made steady progress and the quantity of cleaned eider­ down marketed annually has increased five times. Eiderdown comes from the breast of the eider duck. Therefore it is of utmost importance that these birds be conserved. Bird sanctuaries and strict law measures are being enforced with that end in view. The eider duck is one of the largest of our ducks. The male is a mass of contrasting black and white and delicate tints of green and wine, while the female is colored in even shades of brown. Their bills are mostly stout with much plumage at the base. The birds build their nests and line them with thick, soft coverings of down from their 'bodies. The eggs are laid on this fluffy mass and are carefully covered and kept warm when the parent leaves the nest. It is during the period of incubation of the eggs, usually from the end of May to middle of July, that the down is taken. Great care must be exercised however, so as not to interfere with the final hatching of the eggs, or to cause the duck to abandon the nest. The down taken is gradually replaced by the duck and when the young have left, the remainder is gath­ ered, cleaned of bits of straw and moss and made ready for sale and use. Eider ducks are not to be found in all parts of Canada. As a matter of fact, they usually confine their haunts to the extreme northerly regions, in the Yukon and at the mouth of the MacKenzie River. There is one record of the bird on Lake Manitoba and reports state it has been seen on the Washington and B.C. coast. Suitable coastal islands on which the birds are accustomed to nest are leased from the Province of Quebec by residents of the Gulf Shore area. The lease is for a period of five years and a permit under the Migratory Birds Convention Act authorizes them to possess and sell eiderdown taken from nests on the leased land. The establishment of this new industry prevents the waste of a valuable natural resurce and puts within reach of the consumer a material that is unsurpassed for lightness, durability and capacity for retaining heat. * LOOKING BACK 23 YEARS From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, Oct 18th, 1917 Stanley and Vera M inshall of Mt Elgin, spent the week-end with friends in Simcoe.

It is that Reichfuhrer Hitler has openly made his first major and open strategic move against the United States of Amercia. Berlin calls the new military alliance defensive, to prevent America from extending full aid to Britain, or to divide the United States fleet between two oceans before it has reached two-ocean proportions. But whether defensive or potentially offensive, the Japanese alliance ends any supposition that the Uni­ ted States can remain indifferent to the world threat whose spearhead is Naziism. Isolationism drew its persuasiveness from the ex­ pectation that no outside power could or would upset American security. The course of world events for at leash' five years has steadily removed the supposed foundations of America’s self-containment. The German-Italian-Japanese pact merely gives public form to an implicit situation that compels America to assume world-wide responsibilities, or face the prospect of gradual depletion within the borders of isolation. Hitherto, Herr Hitler’s designs against the West­ ern Hemisphere have been known through his writ­ ings. Now they are documented unmistakably in a pact that cooly assumes America must either stand aside while Naziism conquers the world, or resist, and take the consequences. Hitlerism is not safe while the democratic United States exists. Berlin now openly admits this fact. American isolation therefore become untenable. The Nation’s decision in months ahead must, now be hot whether, but when, how and under what conditions America will assume its long-avoided responsibilities as a world power.—-The Christian Science Monitor.

Solo parts in the anthem in the morning were taken by Mrs. R. J. M. Perkins and W. B. Slater. Canadians Too Generous The Canadian public is eithlr becoming gullible or extremely liberal in its views hp wearing apparel. When a costume for war prisoners was designed, every effort was made to turn out a garment that could be spotted for city blocks by the naked eye. The costumes were made of black or blue denim with a large circle of scarlet on the back of the smock and a four-inch stripe down the outer side of the right trouser leg. Yet, in spite of this glaring color combination oh their clothing, escaped prisoners have on several oc­ casions been given lifts by ..obliging motorists. One recaptured, prisoner said he had been deeply impress­ ed by the generosity and assistance *of the Canadian * public while attempting his flight from an interment camp. Between Mifiiico and Burlington he was given three rides and* his third benefactor even offered him a job. The stripe on his trouser leg was covered by u pair of overalls, but the circle on his back stood out like a beacon light. Interment authorities pow suggest that anyone seeing a man wearing blue or. black clothing with a red circle or stripe should immediately notify the police. It Is also advised that motorists should ask to see registration cards before giving hitchhikers a lift, pturtisulr riy after announcement of an escape has been made. C. H. Sumner with G. M. McKay, O. E. Robinson and W. R. Veale motored to London on Tuesday after­ noon and after a keenly contested game with a rink skipped by J. S.

The publication of tha 1940 edi­ tion of the Canada Year Book, pub­ lished by authorization of the Hon. James A. MacKinnon, Minister of Trade and Commerce, is announced by the Dominion Bureau of Statis­ tics. The Canada Year Book is the official statistical annual of the country and contains a thoroughly up-to-date account of the natural resources of the Dominion and their development, the history of the country, its institutions, its demo­ graphy the different branches of pro­ duction, trade, transportation, fin­ ance, education, etc.—in brief, a com­ prehensive study within the limits of a single volume of the social and ec­ onomic condition of the Dominion. This new edition has been thoroughly revised throughout and includes in all its chapters the latest information available up to the date of going to press. The 1940 Canada Year Book ex­ tends to over 1,200 pages, dealing with all phases of the national life and more especially with those sus­ ceptible of statistical measurement. A statistical summary of the progress of Canada is included in the intro­ ductory matter. This gives a picture in figures of the remarkable progress which the country has made since the first census of the Dominion was taken in 1871, sixty-eight years ago. A number of special articles appear this year for the first time and there are other new features in the present volume to which attention is called. The introduction to the Year Book gives a detailed account of Canada’s War Effort and a review of economic conditions at the time of going to press with the final “copy.” The main part of the Book extends to thirty chapters. In the present edition, a complete list of special articles and of signi­ ficant historical or descriptive text that has not been subject to wide change and is therefore not repeated, is given following the Table of Con­ tents. This list links the 1989 Year Book with its predecessors and indi­ cates the extent to which the “Year1 Book" must now be regarded as a series of publications rather than as a single volume. Persons requiring the Year Book may obtain it from the King’s Printer, Ottawa, as long as the supply lasts, at the price of $1.50, which covers mere­ ly the cost of paper, printing, and binding. By a special concession, a limited number of paper-bound copies have been set aside for ministers of religion, bona fide students and school teachers, who may obtain copies at the nominal price of 50 cents each. "Can you lend me five dollars?” "I’d rather not. Lending money always breaks up a friendship.” "Well, we’ve never been very good friends, have we?” BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Robert Wilbamsoa — WHY BRITISH PLANES AKE BETTER And Naw Fighter and Humber Types Ara On Tha Way Two Nazi mistakes which have given air ascendancy to Britain are outlined in an interview by Major F. A. de Vere Robertson, tha author­ ity on aeronautics. ‘Important tactical plans often lie behind the specifications for aircraft ordered by the Air Ministry”, he said. “We do not know the names of the worthies who decided that British single-seater fighters must have eight machine guns apiece, and that bombers must have gun turrets operated by the power of the en­ gines, but we owe them a heavy debt. They were right, and the Germans, who chose other tactics, were wrong. "German fighters mount fewer guns, and place a good deal of reli­ ance on the canon, a machine gun which fires a small shell. One hit from such a shell will often put an aeroplane out of action, but the can­ nons have not proved very destruct­ ive. A comparativvly small amount of ammunition can be carried. “The concentrated fire of eight ordinary guns has proved more effective, unless the opposing air­ craft is heavily armoured—and ar­ mour means weight with all its drawbacks. However, the British au­ thorities are prepared to use canons it it seems desirable. New British fighters'have been .produced which will be still better than the very suc­ cessful Hurricane and Spitfire, but their speed and armament will not be announced in advance. “The Germans were also wrong about bomber tactics," Major Rob­ ertson explained. "They believed that a bomber should trust to its speed and not to its guns when at­ tacked by fighters. So they produced great numbers of Heinkel 111, the Dornier 17 and 215, and the Junk­ ers 88, all fast machines with slim fuselages (which could not be ad­ apted to take a turret) and only mounting three machine guns each. These guns have to be swung by the muscles of the gunners—no easy task when rushing through the air at over 250 m.p.h. “British authorities decided on slower bombers with turrets which mount up to four guns each. The power of the engines moves the tur­ ret without any exertion by the gun­ ner. Turret fire is so deadly that perman fighters are usually unable to get the better of our bombers, and have often declined to close with them. Of British bombers too, it can be said that still better types will soon make their appearancee.” RHODESIA’S GIANT LOCOMOTIVES England Ship* £63,000 Worth In Three Section* Fifty Beyer-Garratt locomotives are now operating on the Rhodesia Railways: four, bringing the total up SAFETY VAULTS WAR LOAN Securities f WAR\’tRVINtf IMPERIAL BANK ORCANADA Interim Certificates as well as Bands should be securely, locked away. / A Safety Deposit Box at any branch office of Imperial Bank gives you the security of the Bank's vaults a\ trifling cost.

It is one of the herbal drugs which the country used to import from France, Germany, Belgium and Italy. Chief in war-time importance among them are aconite, belladonna, digi­ talis, henbane, stramonium and val­ erian. All are now being grown in suffi­ cient quantities to meet British war­ time needs after existing big stocks are done, and*"British drug growers are even increasing their average to supply the foreign market. The U.S.A. are big buyers. The plants are exotic and fastidious in regard to climate and soil, yet al­ though America has many climates and many soil tyres, the plants do not thrive there and they are there­ fore being imported from Great Britain. Among the chief herbal drugs now being grown in Britain for the home, and export markets are digitalis, stramonium, aconite, valerian, pyre­ thrum, broom, dandelion, tarragon and calendula. Britain’s most important drug farms are in the south of England. There is also one in Scotland. In­ deed, the oldest of them all, the Physic Garden, was founded in Ed­ inburgh by a hospital in 1661. ONE MILLION TELEPHONE INSULATORS Shipped From London Oversea* in War Time Since the outbreak of war a fam­ ous London pottery firm has ship­ ped one million porcelain telephone insulators to markets overseas. When the electric telegraph was introduced a hundred years ago they were one of the few able to meet the earliest orders from the British Post Office. Then came the telephone, with its further demand for insulators, and, later, a specially robust insulator was designed to support the live rails of electric railways, a design which has been almost universally adopted in Britain and to a large extent abroad. These London potters are now making porcelain insulators for sup-' porting overhead telephone and electric power lines; for the rigging and support of broadcasting towers; Tor ship and aeoplane wireless equip­ ment; for the overhead lines of tram­ way and trolleybus undertakings; and for electric sub-stations. Many of the, more elaborate in­ sulators are thrown, shaped and lathed by hand in this historic pot­ tery, examples of brilliant crafts­ manship accurate in dimension and identical to a fraction of an inch, which, in days to come may well be prized as examples of 20th century design and skill.

The sharp reduction in 1940 is the result of reduced acre­ age, an unfavorable season, and ex­ tensive frost damage to the flue- cured crop in the principal area of production in Southwestern Ontario. There were 68,070 acres planted to tobacco in Canada in 1940, com­ pared with 92,300 acres in 1939.

If you ask what is a good thing to buy for some need, people will usually quote some widely ad­ vertised article that everyone has heard of. If you ask about some competing article that is not advertised, they will usual­ ly say they never heard of it, consequently they are not likely to buy it. People not merely buy the advertised goods they have heard of, but they are more likely to buy at the stores that are well advertised. These con­cerns appear constantly before the public eye by their widely read notices. A concern gets abig advantage over its compet? itors by the relatively small ex- • pense of advertising. INCONE TAX INSPECTORADDRESSED KIWANIS Henry I. Orr at London, Re­ viewed Recent Changes In income Taxation Affecting individuals. Ki wan tans turned out in full force on Thursday evening last, for theirsupper meeting at the Ingersoll Innto hear an outline of recent changes in income taxation and an explana­ tion of the new National Defence Tax as given by Henry 1. Orr ofLondon, Inspector of Income Tax tor this district. President, Kiwanian Alex. Yule, occupied the chair. A report on therecent carnival was given by thechairman of the committee, Kiwan­ ian Grant Small, who stated com­ plete returns were not in as yet, butindications pointed to one of themost successful carnivals from a fin­ ancial point of view, of any yet un-: dertaken by the club. A vote ofthanks was tendered Mr. Small for the able way he directed the carnival activities, by Kiwanian Reg. A. Stone. Kiwanian F. Earl Johnston led a 1 short sing song with Miss Muriel Parker at the piano. Kiwanian L. . A. Westcott appealed for helpers to ! make the canvass in connection with 1 Ingersoll War Charities drive which takes place Oct. 21st to 26th. The speaker of the evening was ably introduced by Kiwanian R, G. Start, who explained that Mr. Orrhad been on the staff of the London Office of the Income Tax Depart­ ment for the past twenty years, and would be ^pleased to answer any questions the members wished to ask at the conclusion of his address. Mr. Orr’s subject was “How recentamendments to the Income Tax Act affect the individual.” He touched upon the changes made in the actat the last session of parliament and explained how they affect the aver­ age individual personally. He de­ clared that patriotism could be best exemplified by the citizens of Canada in the. prompt payment of their taxes that were really due the govern­ment. All taxes should be paid as by doing so the people of Canada were helping the country. Canadaneeds the money more than ever at the present time to help in her fight' against Hitler, and paying taxes should be considered as a patrioticduty.” A man that evades taxation to which he is rightly subject is next door to a fifth columnist,” declared Mr, Orr. Income Tax in its present form was first introduced in 1799 in Eng­ land by the younger Pitt and thepeople of England are now paying: approximately 37 of their earn­ ings in taxes to help raise money to carry on the war. In Canada the In­ come Tax was introduced as a War Measure and was first called the In­ come War Tax Act The tax was nec­ essitated in the first place by war and the people should consider it as one of the vital and essential acts and assist th* Government in everyway in their endeavor to collect itto ths full extent In order to prose-cuts ths war. The tax, Mr. Orr explained, has developed into a steady tax ratherthan just a temporary tax, and in view of ths fact it had been in op­ eration eincs the last Great War, Canada was fully organised to carry on when the new regulations cameinto effect a few months ago. It took nearly fifteen years to get the machinery of collection operating smoothly and efficiently and while agreat deal of extra work had beenplaced on the collecting offices, without giving them extra help, they were functioning smoothly and if the public would be patient, the workwould be done with as little delay as possible, the speaker stated. Mr. Orr mentioned that the chan­ ges in the Income Tax would effectthe wage earners in the lower and medium wage bracket. Exemption had been reduced from $2000.00 to $1500 in the case of a married manwithout dependants and from $1000 to $750.00 in the case of a single : person. A charge will now be made of 6% on the first $250.00 above the exemption and 8% on the bal­ ance up to $1000.00 which will mean that a married person without de­pendents receiving $2500.00 per year will have to pay an income tax of $75.00 as compared to $15.00* in1938 and $18.00 in 1939 and in ad­ dition will be assessed $25.00 for the National Defence Tax. It was explained by the speaker that the National Defence Tax effected everybody whose minimum salary would not be brought below$600.00 in the case of a single per­ son and $11200.00 in the case of a married person without dependents. He further explained that this taxwould be calculated on half the amount of income received during the year 1940.Mr. Orr said it had really done him good to hear the ^people say that they were glad to be able to pay atax that would help Canada win the war. There had been very few kick­ ers, and this indicated that the people of Canada were united in trying to do their bit. In concluding his remarks, the speaker stated that any contributiondue, past due, or anticipated to the exchequer of the country, made now, would be an action on the part of the individual in showing patriotism.The thanks of the club were ten­ dered to Mr. Orr for his interesting and enlightening talk by KiwanianJohn J. McLeod. BLANKETS FROM CANADA WELCOME IN SHELTER There is not much in the way of comfort for this sleeping family taking refuge in an air-raid shelter in England. But they are kept* warm by blan­ kets contributed by the people of Canada to the Canadian Red Cross Society. More than 60,000 blankets have been shipped to England, and tons of food and thousands of articles are being distributed daily to airraid victims by Canadian Red Cross Society officials in England. CANADA’S CROPS NEAR ALL TIME RECORD Reports Indicate Wheat Yield Will Be Second Largest In History. Grain Is of Excep­ tionally High Quality. The final crop report for 1940 justissued by the Bank of Montreal, from telegraphic reports received at the head office of the bank from itsbranches, gives an interesting re­ view of conditions in general throughout Canada, and makes spec­ ific references to crops in Ontario. As managers of the Bank of Mon­ treal throughout the Dominion haVe knowledge of each local situation and are in touch with crop conditions in all sections of the districts where they are located, this formation canbe regarded as most authentic and pictures one of the best crop years in the country’s history. The reportin part follows: * “The year 1940 goes upon record as a year of good crops in Canadaas a whole and as a year of extra­ ordinarily good crops in the Prairie Provinces, where the wheat yield » the second largest in history and may prove, when returns are „ com­ plete ,to be actually the largest. To this general picture there have beenlocal exceptions, certain crops in On­ tario having been adversely affected by cold, wet weather and certaincrops in British Columbia by short­ age of moisture during the growing season. For the Prairie Provinces preliminary estimates place this years’ total wheat crop as slightly below that of the record production of 1928. Grain is generally of highgrade'and quality. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics estimates wheat production of the three Prairie Pro­vinces at 534,090,000 bushels, which is 71,481,000 bushels larger than the third estimate of last year’s crop and compares with a ten-year aver­age of 307,013,000 bushels. The es­ timated average wheat yields by Provinces follow: Manitoba 20.2bushels, Saskatchewan, 16.7 bushels,Alberta 23.4 bushels. The 1940 wheat acreage in the Prairie Provin­ ces officially estimated at 27,750,000 acres, is the largest on record and ismore than 1,900,000 acres in excess of last year. Production of coarse grains is slightly higher than in 1939 and winter feed supplies aregenerally sufficient. Production ofoats is estimated at 251,500,000 bus­ hels and of barley at 89,000,000 bushels. Threshing is virtually fin­ ished in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In Alberta operations have been de­layed by frequent rains, but thresh­ing is now about 75% completed. Whoat marketings have been affect­ ed by Governmental restrictions, but from August 1 to October 3 deliver­ies by farmers to country elevatorstotalled 156,724,000 bushels, com­ pared with 259,198,000 bushels in the same period last'year. In Quebec Province well up to average yieldsare reported of hay. grain, roots,apples, email fruits, tobacco andmaple prudhete. In Ontario the haycrop was heavy. Fall wheat a good yield, and late roots, except pota­ toes .are promising, but Springgrains were damaged by wet weather at harvesting. Small fruits were plentiful, but the yields of most tree fruits, as well as of corn and to­bacco, were substantially below av­ erage. In the Maritime Provinces a fair to average harvest of all themain staples is generally indicated,with the exception that apples will be a light crop, owing to extensive damage by storms. In British Col­umbia the hay crop was heavy; yields of tree fruits good and the crop of tomatoes a record one; slightly be­ low average were the grain, root and vegetable crops.” “In Ontario, seeding operations, owing to inclement weather, were late in getting under way and were not completed until the middle of June. During the early Summer,conditions were favorable to growth and vegetation made excellent pro­ gress. As the season advanced, rain­storms caused some lodging of grains,, while continued cool, wet weather adversely affected the development of growing crops and interfered with the harvest Fall wheat winter­ ed well and an average crop of good quality was garnered. Heavy stands of Spring grains were cut but a con­ siderable portion weathered in thestook and is only of feeding quality. An above-average crop of hay was stored, but the quality suffered insome areas from excessive moisture. Pasturage has been abundant throughout the season, except inEastern sections where the absence of rain was felt in late Summer. Beans and tomatoes were light crops. Mangolds and turnips give promise while sugar beets indicate a goodcrop but low in sugar content Pota­ toes, especially late varieties, are affected by rot. Peas yielded satis­ factorily. Com, not having overcome early setbacks, was considerably be­ low normal and the corn-borer wasprevalent. Strawberries, raspberries,and most other small fruits were plentiful. Below-average returns are reported for peaches, pears and grapes. Tobacco made marked re­ covery during the first three weeks in August after having been retardedby late planting and unsuitable grow­ ing conditions, but on August 24 the flue-cured crop in the Norfolk area suffered extensive frost damage. Present estimates place the flue- cured yield at around 24,000,000 pounds from 42,300 acres, as com­ pared with 75,000,000 pounds from the burley yield at 11,000,000 pounds | 500,000 pounds from 11,200 acres in an Acreage of 63,800 last year, and from 8,800 acres, as against 14,- [ 1939.” NEAT...

I shall at The National Parks of Canada are parhapa at their beet in the autumn. After the first few light frosts de­ ciduous trees don their mantis of brilliant foliage and are at once a delight and an inspiration. The woods along the park highways are a riot of color—orange, gold, green, crimson and many other widely variegated combinations which na­ ture blends into a harmonious pat­ tern for its own special fall showing. Wild life, no doubt sensing the approach of winter, is morn active than usual. Big game come down to the road-side and am a common sight along many of the park high­ ways at this time of the year. Camera hunters are reaping a rich harvest of special “trophies” for their snapshot albums. The canoeist finds this the ideal season for exploring the wilderness glory of these parks. He can paddle further now that the midsummer heat has passed and can select many trips which would have been diffl-, cult and perhaps tedious during the heat of the summer. Park streams are now maintaining a fairly con­ stant level. The days though shor­ tening, are bright and crisp. Fish are biting well and bird life seems more abundant than ever. Migratory birds are making many new acquaintances for their long journey southwards and amateur ornithologists are busy studying that fascinating subject— bird migration. Traffic on the park highways has diminished considerably, and sight­ seeing is much more enjoyable than usual. Many visitors from the Uni­ ted States who perhaps have been late in resizing that travel in the Dominion is just as free from annoy­ ing restrictions as before the war, are, this year, enjoying an autumn vacation in Canada’s national parks, and are finding it a most charming seson for motoring and sight-seeing. Autumn in Canada is usually fol­ lowed by a very delightful period known as Indian Summer. Until the advent of this “extra season" many Indians will assure you that winter is still a long way off. Indian Sum­ mer may only last a few days or it may extend over a period of weeks. Its duration varies from year to year, but there is no mistaking its actual arrival. Unlike the coming of the “Chinook”—that warm breeze which blows in from the Pacific and melts the prairie snows almost over night—there is generally a total ab-: sence of wind during Indian Sum­ mer. This pleasant phenomenon has been extolled by early writers in both prose and verse, and continues to inspire poet and artist of the present day. Although the term “In­ dian Summer” has become part of the English language and is now freely used throughout the English- speaking world, its real origin is something of a mystery. The season which was perhaps first known as “Second Summer” appears to have been predicted to the earliest white settlers by the native Indians. This would probably account for its being named “Indian Summer." At the beginning of the past cen­ tury this late return of summer was frequently referred to. Here is what John Howeson wrote in 1821: “The artumns of Upper Canada very much resemble those of Britain. October is usually a delightful, dry month with mild days and clear, frosty nights. The early part of November is generally characterized by a pec­ uliar state of the weather which the Canadians term "Indian Summer.” The atmosphere has a haziness which makes distant objects appear indis­ tinct and indefinite and a halo often encircles the sun. At the same time a genial warmth prevails and there. is seldom any wind. The Indian ' Summer is so delightful that one would almost suppose the country where it takes place to be transported for a season to some celestial clime ^SNAPSHOT GUILD ABOUT FAST LENSES Lively action shot*, like this, are taboo for the slow lens—but the fast lens and fast shutter get them easily. TF YOU have a fine, fast lens on * your camera, it** eom Sing like having a motor of ample power in *your automobile. The reserve ca­ pacity is there when you need It— for emergencies, unusual situations, sudden traffic problems, steep grades* and bigger hills. There are two "hills" in photog­ raphy. One is fast action. The other is adverse lighting—shade on your subject, dull cloudy days, weak light In extreme late after­ noon, and some after-dark subjects. The fast lens—always fitted to a shutter of excellent speed—takes care of you on both these hills. Of course, if you stick to sub­jects that will stand still in bright sunsMne, the slow lens is all right Millions of fine snapshots are taken with slow speed lenses even* year suitable subject* and lighting con­ ditions, good results are certain.But—who Is willing to stick to“motionless” subjects! How about the baby, who is best for picture* when h*.is In a lively mood? How about the pet*? How about Ann skipping rope or Bill at basket­ ball practice, sledding, or skating?How about parades—games on your picnics or outings—and natural, unposed shots of friends? No; for all-around use, and really good pic­tures, a fast lens Is the prescrip­ tion. And I, for one, believe it quickly pays for Itself In snapshotsatisfaction.Some amateurs think It’s harder to use a fast lens, but that isn’t really true. For ordinary shots, setthe lens at f/11, use a shutterspeed of 1/25 second, and leave the focus at 16, 20, or 25 feet When light is weak, or when you’re usinga high shutter speed to "stop” fast motion, just use a larger opening, and set the focus for the distance from camera to subject.For better pictures—wider sub­ject range—more safety and peace of mind In shooting subject* that may move—a fast lens and fastshutter are tho thing. You'll real­ ize that the very first time you usethem. 303 John van Guilder MUGGS/SKEETER WHAT DO YA lyV\jANT? MUGGS AND SKEETEK J X. T tu. you SoMEaxtf m t»4 TW18 House Uelpw g Ef f ie maUNTIE.

It is extremely difficult * to explain the cause of the regular occurrence of this kind of weather; for scarcely a year passes, in autumn of which there are not some days of Indian Summer.” While much has been written of the vivid beauty of the Canadian landscape .during autumn, only by getting out into the open can one truly appreciate the spirit of the season; words are but empty, and cannot adequately describe the thrill of its magic spell. This is the season of the "Hunter’s Moon,” and, while spring, summer, and winter each has its special appeal to the visitor, the enjoyment derived from a trip through the National Parks of Canada in autumn is an experience which will not soon be forgotten. These parks continue to rank among Canada’s major tourist at­ tractions. Up to the end of August, 1940, the majority showed decided increases over the same period last year, in the .number of visitors re­ ceived. This is particularly true of the mountain parks in the west— Banff, Jasper, Kootenay, Yoho and Waterton Lakes, which had an in­ crease of over 162,000 as coinpared with the same period of 1939. Out of a total of 534,017 visitors to these five parks 110,874 came from outsideof Canada,* mostly from the United States—a gain of 22 per cent over last year. No doubt the opening of the new highway linking Jasper and Banff National Parks and the com­ pletion of the Big Bend Highway had a good deal to do with this in­ crease, but there were also increases in the number of visitors to other parks in the west, notably Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba and Prince Albert National Park in Saskatchewan. The attractions and recreational facilities of Canada’s national parks are gradually becoming better known abroad Realizing the importance of the tourist industry in Canada's war time economy, the National Parks Bureau at Ottawa have been con­ ducting a vigorous publicity cam­ paign in the Press, over the radio and by other means during the past year, with the object of stimulating traffic to the national parks. It is confidently expected that the satis­ factory increases recorded up to the end of August will be continued dur­ ing the remainder of this year and that the greatest number of Amer­ ican tourists, many of whom in the ! past have been accustomed to spend­ ing their autumn and winter holidays in Europe, will yet bring up the level of previous years. DORCHESTER The October meeting vf the Wom­ en's Institute was held on Thursdayevening at the home of Mrs. W.Williams, with 30 members and sev­eral visitors present. The president, Mrs. J. Oliver presided and themeeting opened with the InstituteOde and the Lord's Prayer in unison.Minute* of previous meeting were read and adopted and the treasurerreported that the sum of >48.75 was realized from the booth at the schoolfair. The roll call was answered by “Some Law I would like to seepassed.” The motto, *:To Thins Own Self Be True, Thou Const NotThen Be False to Any Man,” was given by Mrs. Houlton of Belmont.Mrs. J. Pettitt gave the review of “Pastor Hall." (Homer B. Neely ofLondon, was the guest speaker, choosing as his subject, “DifferentPhases of Legislation.” Mrs. Oliver read a couple of letters from friend*in England, describing the situation there. Mrs. Chas. Thompson moved ■vote of thanks to all those taking part in the program and the hostess.Lunch was served and a social half hour enjoyed.The Thankoffering meeting of theWomen’s Missionary Society washeld at the morning service on Sun­ day recently, when Miss Edith Spar­ling of St. Marys, a United Churchmissionary home on furlough fromWest China, addressed the congrega­tion, Miss Sparling spoke of the losssustained by the W.MB. due to thebombing by the Japanese of the mis­sion hospitals, schools andd resi­dences in two different cities, wherethe United church missionaries areworking and inspired the ladies byoutlining haw the work is being car­ried on from safer country districts.At the close of the service, MissSparling spoke to the boys and girlsin the S. S.The ideal fall day added to the success of the inter-school field dayheld recently at Belmont, when the pupils from the four ContinuationSchools, Springfield, Brownsville, Belmont and Dorch/ster, contestedthe various events nor top honors. Parents and trustees watched withinterest the activities on the pro- gram. Pupils were divided into jun­ior, intermediate and senior classes, <or both the girls and boys. Themedals for the buy - in all three classes were won by’ the boys of Dorchester School, with the silvercup being secured by our local boy*,who had the most total points. The senior girls’ medal wtut to Browns­ ville, and the intermediate and jun­ior medals were secured by Belmont. The silver cup for the girls Went toBrownsville. Following are the re­sults: B-iya—Dorchestqr, 66 points; Springfield, 46 points; Belmont, 24 points; Brownsville, 111 points. Med-als-Senior, Gordon Hunt, Dorchester,; 14 points; intermediate^ Gordon Fer-rar, Dorchester, 15 pplnts; junior, Jack Hun ter, 15 points.

Medals—Senior, Ruth Housberger, Brownsville, 12points; intermediate, Gwen Lanford, Belmont, 12 points; junior, EllenArcher, 11 points. The second robbery in Dorchester in the past few weeks, was stagedat Byron Brooks’ slaughter house late on Saturday night or early Sundaymorning, when two quarters of beef were removed. A door had beenforced into the building. Nothingbut the beef was taken. Police believe that a car must have been used tocarry away the several hundred pounds of meat. A short time prev­ious, the Barber Shop and H. Bowl- by’s Store was entered and some cash and goods removed. In all threecases it is thought to be some one familiar with the places rather thanthat of a professional robber. Mrs. M. Logan was hostess for theOctober meeting of the Crumlin Uni­ted W. M. S. in the church basement. Following a short business period,the devotional exercises were taken by Miss L. Rogers and Mrs. J. Clark.A topic on “Prayer,” was given by Mrs. H. McCallum; a piano solo byMiss Alice Bell and a vocal solo byMrs. H. Rogers, both of Dorchester, were enjoyed. The W. A. held a shortbusiness session with Mrs. B. Bedgood presiding, when final plans were madefor a fowl supper. Mrs. W. J. Taylor closed the meeting with prayer.Four calves from the Dorchester Calf Club were chosen to go to theexhibit at Western Fair Achievement day on October 9 and 10.

But insulin does not cure. It merely prevents further progress of the dis­ ease and, combined with regulation of the diet gives relief and comfort to the individual. Now Dr. Charles Best, according to the statement of Dr. Elliott Joslin, of Harvard University, himself one of the best-known clinicians in dia­ betes, has discovered a cure. “The world,” he said, "can look forward to the day when diabetes can be cured and prevented in both men and animals.” There are, it is said, 600,000 dia­ betics in the United States. This means that the proportionate dum­ ber for Canada is about 50,000. The normal increase in both countries is much the same. Thi smeans that if this increase is maintained, there will be a million in the U-S. and about 100,000 in Canada by 1950. It is well known that for some time Dr. Best and his assistants, Drs. Campbell and tHaist, have been conducting researches with a view to securing a cure for the prevention of diabetes in animals. In view of this fact 'Dr. Joslin’s statement is regarded as highly significant, for Joslin is not the man to make un­ reliable forecasts. It will be a notable advance if Joslin’s prediction comes to be verified by the actual effect of the new remedy. Science is daily uncov­ ering new things, bcause of the pa­ tient, unremitting work done in laboratories all over the civilized world. What a pity that so much money, which otherwise might be diverted to life-saving uses, should be squandered in the vile war of Hitler’s making.—J. W. S. McCul­ lough, M.D., D.P.H. That most of the bread consumed in Canadian cities is capable of con­ siderable improvement in the inter­ ests of war-time health and effic­ iency, is indicated by an article appearing in the current issue of the Canadian Public Health Journal over the signature of E. W. Mc­ Henry, Ph.D., of the University’ of Toronto. It is, of course, .generally known that whole-wheat bread is of greater nutritional value than while bread, but the fact has not made the darker colored loaf popular. Dr. McHenry therefore proposes that the value of white flour be raised by adding white germ or yeast of high vitamin content. Thie can be done without affecting the color of the resultant loaf, he declares. The special nutritive quality of whole wheat bread lies in the face that it retains vitamin and mineral contents which, to a very large ex­ tent, are removed by modern milling processes. Vitamin B complex, which is absolutely essential to health is re­ duced to about one third of its orig­ inal quantity in the course of mill­ ing, for instance. A survey of 100 families of low incomes in Toronto, he says, reveals that even the best fed members fall far below the satisfactory margin in their daily intake of Vitamin Bl, a condition which he finds reason to believe is general. Dr. McHenry repeats that the in­ take of Vitamin Bl would be in­ creased if people ate whole wheat bread, but since they decline to do so other methods must be found, and experiments have shown thatbread containing five’ per-cent wheat germ has noticeable effect on growth and nutrition. Tribute to Canadians for the part played by them in securing proper protection of the public milk supply of this continent, is paid by Robert S. Breed, Ph.D., of the New York State Experimental Centre, writing in the current issue of the Canadian Public Health Journal. Tracing the history of milk sani­ tation, the writer shows that in 1893 a Dr. Coit of Montclair, NJ., persu­ aded a local dairyman to undertake the production, under the supervis­ ion of medical men, of an exception­ ally clean milk, for the feeding of babies. This, he says, was the be­ ginning of certified milk. In 1896, the Board of Health of the City of New York raised a storm of protest from milk producer* when it forbade sale of milk in the city except under its permit, granted sub­ ject to the dairyman’s complying with certain regulations. Its action was fought in the courts for 10 years, until they decided in favor' of the Board of Health. Boston was the first city in* Amer­ ica, and probably in the world, to set a definite limit for bi.ttnriul count in its milk supply. The figure set for milk delivered does not aeem exceptionally moderate toay, since it allowed 500,000 per ec. Gradually it was realized that bacterial count gave no real protect­ ion, and that pasteurization offered the only blanket ^afcguawf against nollk-convcycd dhcMirr. The future of the milk supply will undoubtedly '---------------Dr. *—J ---------------------- The number of ‘Christmas trees Imported into the United States in 193!* was 4,613,961, valued at *136,- 692.

De­ creases in production are evident in four of the main producing provinces. Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and Al­ berta. In Saskatchewan, the average production per hive waa lower than in 1939 but this was offset by an in- crease in the number of producing colonies, with the result that the to­ tal crop is likely to be slightly higher than in the previous year. The Brit­ ish Columbia crop is expected to be about 18 per cent larger than in 1930. Similarly, in the Maritime Provinces, production is reported to be higher than in 1939, particularly in New Brunswick and Prince Ed­ ward Island where the crop is prac­ tically double that of 1939.

Once again he married, and was be­ reaved, and a second hat joined the first. When the third wife appeared on the scene she was naturally cur­ ious about the hats and asked for an explanation. “Very nice thought,” she remarked when she’d heard the sentimental story, “but remember, my man, the next hat that goes up there will be a bowler.” Two heavyweight boxers, chasing each other round the ring, kept treading on the toes of the small ref­ eree. At last he lost patience and shouted: “If you guys don’t stop treading on my corns there’s going to be a fight!” The class composition was about “Kings.” One boy wrote this: “The most powerful £ing on earth is Wor-king; the laziest Shir­ king; the wittiest, Joking; the quiet­ est, Thin-king; the thirstiest, Drin­ king; the slyest, Win-king; and the noisest, Tal-king.” Just how a min who has never been higher than a ten-otorey build­ ing will react , to an altitude of 25.000 feat is a vital question in the se-leetion of prospective pitots, air observers and wireless operator air gunners for the Royal Canadian Air Force. Guess work will not do, so the clinical investigation unit of the Na­ tional Defence Department has set its hand to the problem in No. 1 Training Command, Toronto. The research work of the unit in this new branch of medical science has aroused the admiration of mill- I tary doctors and scientists all over the world. More important, however, is the practical effect upon selective recruiting for the R.C.AJ. It doesn’t eliminate men so much as it selects the good men. It works positively, not negatively. Canada requires thousands of phy­ sically fit young men to man the fifehting and bombing aircraft of the air force when they have completed their intensive training under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The research assures that the selection system for this mass pro­ duction will be as sound as is hu­ manly possible. The Medical Selection Boards elim­ inate men who have certain physical conditions which from past experi­ ence are known to be a handicap to an airman. But these physical condi­ tions are not apparent in the ordin­ ary medical examination and so the Clinical Investigation Unit has crea­ ted equipment in its laboratory which precisely simulates conditions at any altitude desired and at any degree of speed. Special attention is paid to see if recruits have any heart damage which might be resultant from mild or perhaps unnoticed rheumatic fev­ er in childhood. The young man with this condition might never become aware of it if he leads a normal life on the ground. But once he encoun­ ters abnormal conditions in the air the results might well be fatal. The Investigation Unit seeks out these cases not only to save a human life but in the knowledge that a failure of that life under certain conditions might well mean the loss of a >250,- 000 bomber, the loss of the >50,000; or so that was necessary to train-a full bomber crew and the loss of the four or five highly trained members of the crew. The first class athlete with a (potential cardiac condition might well succumb to the lack of oxygen he wouM encounter at 12,000 feet. Ordinary clinical means will not always discover these relatively mild weaknesses of the heart but the In­ vestigation Unit employs the electro­ cardiogram which produces a graphic record of the electrical activities of the heart. Work is being done in a similar manner to find those airmen who may not be able to accustom them­ selves to the drastic changes in posi­ tion which their air duties impose. Some people become air sick every time they take to the air, others only under bad conditions. Certain of these are so sensitive and exper­ ience such nausea and feebleness that their efficiency is dangerously impaired despite the fact that their courage would have them carry on. The Investigation Unit is using equipment which closely simulates changes in positions and thus en­ ables authorities to weed out those who would otherwise ultimately prova unsuitable In thia way agraat amount of time and money that would be spent tn training these man for air duties is saved and the men are directed Into different rlaseao pf work. The train as well as the heart is being studied by the Investigation Unit and much work is being done in defining the characteristics which beet fit the man to be either a pilot or a gunner or in observer, A relatively new science, electro­ encephalography, has been utilised to learn about tbn “brain wavea” of the young aircraftsman. The bruin, like all nervous tissue of the body, gives rise to electrical potentials which can be “lead off” from the scalp by means of silver electrodes and amplified through vacuum tubes and recorded on moving paper by ink-writing pens attached to an os­ cillograph. The electroencephalograph, in general, is to the brain what the electrocardiograph is to the heart. This type of study is being correl­ ated with the practical work of the gunners, observers and pilots as they go through their courses of training. Records are also taken of the “breathing pattern” of each individ­ ual. This is done by using a simple spirometer which records the rate and depth of respiration as well as the regularity of the breathing. Specific correlations have been made on airline pilots, and it is also known that certain types of breathing are associated with various psychological and emotional states. This information is of value, not only at the present time but also in the future because it must be admit-: ted that a certain number of air­ crew are going to break down physi­ cally and mentally as a result of the severe strain of active service. If, in a few months time, correlation of practical results with these investi­ gation results can be made, the ser­ vice will be in a position to regulate the activities of the men suspected of future breakdowns. Of course, such results would be of importance to the Department of Pensions and National Health, and any saving made by adequate selection will re­ sult in the saving of lives and pen­ sions at a later date. Every Aircraftman who goes through the No. 1 Initial Training School of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan and consequently through No. 1 Clinical Investigation Unit (Research), gets experience and Training in the low pressure cham­ ber. This chamber can be evacuated so as to simulate the .pressure chan­ ges corresponding to any altitude. It is primarily a training unit but at the same time certain clinical infor­ mation is obtained on each person. The Aircraftmen, with oxygen masks fitted to their faces, enter the chamber with a trained “observer”, (who is always taking oxygen.) In­ side the chamber they sit on padded .seats and go through many of the, sensations of flying. These are crea­ ted by an operator outside who var­ ies the pressure in the chamber up to 25,000 feet, who can “fly” them into ascents and descents. During the are recorded by the operator from iMtglnnittg to end.By such means the recruits are taught (1) why and how to keep their ears clear. (I) How to use oxygen equipment. (S) The effects of lack ef orygen, (4) The improve­ ment in human performance and the increased altitudes as a result of us­ ing oxygen. (5) The effects of dim­ inishing atmospheric pressure. (6) effects of various lengths of exposure at various altitude*. (7) Recommen­ dations rv altitudes at which to use oxygen and (8) in selected cases, practise In rapid rates of ascent and descent. It is not the purpose to attempt, as u rvault of these various types of investigation, to disqualify men from flying duties. It is an attempt to se­ lect suitable men for flying duties. The results of these investigations are correlated with the reports of testing they are given practical dem­ onstrations of when to use and when not to use oxygen. Under certain conditions their vision is decreased, their hearing affected, the co-ordin­ ation of their movements made slug­ gish. It all becomes very real to them. The reactions of each of them the psychologists who have also made studies on the same men at the var­ ious Training Schools, particularly inrespect to those who have had to “cease training”, those showing proneness to flying accidents, slow­ ness in training, etc. These correla­ tion studies may soon make it poss­ ible to place the work on a practical basis for selection purposes. It is recognized that there is an­ other aspect of this which may be of importance. The R.C.AJF. personnel records obtained at this time will be invaluable not only to the Depart­ ment of Pensions and National Health but to cardiologists who will be able to follow many of these young men through the progressive age groups. Nowhere in the world will there be so much information about cardiac conditions, normal and abnormal in the young adult. Such information may be the key to a better appreciation of the condi­ tions as seen in middle age, an im­ portant advance in the broader realm of science and medicine.
