‘ Successful Tourney
At Lawn Bowling
Greens On Friday
There were 29 rinks or 116 bow
lers in the 23rd annual Golden Ban
tam Corn Twilight Rink Tournament
on Friday evening. The Ann street
greens were in splendid condition
and the weather was ideal for this
popular event of the Ingersoll Lawn
‘ Bowling Club.
The tournament was originated by
R. M. Borrowman 23 years ago and
has been one of the outstanding
events of the local club. A trophy
known as the R. M. Borrowman
Trophy, has been in competition for
the past few years. The amount of
corn that lawn bowlers can consume
between games is amazing. Cooked
at the club house by R, M. Borrow
man he seems to have the “knack”
of getting it done “just to taste.”
This year 50 dozen ears of delicious
corn was used during the evening.
The rink winning first prize and
the trophy was entered by E. Izz-
ard of Woodstock, the only out-of-
town entry to be among the winners.

Campaign For Funds
For Recreation Centre
Gets Good Response
Early reports on the financial
canvass for the Community Recrea
tional Centre Fund are very encour
aging. Members of the Y’s Men’s
Club who have .purchased tfye Inger
soll Arena and are converting it into
a modern Recreational Centre, are
quite optimistic about reaching the
$12,000 objective by September 1st.
A number of unsolicited subscript
ions have been received from out-of-
town contributors, all of whom have
expressed keen interest in this new
project.
Supplementing the membe^hip of
the Y’s Men’s-Club in the work of
canvassing the community, is a large
greup of members of the other Ser
vice Clut^ ’ and interested friends.
However, it will take fully two
weeks to complete the campaign
because of the great number of calls
in Ingersoll and surrounding district.
Contributions should be made pay
able to Community Recreational
Centre. Royal Bank, Ingersoll, and
mailed to that address. As all con
tributions are income tax deductible
as charitable donations, receipts for
this purpose will be mailed to all
subscribers before the date for filing
of tax returns.

Laura realized that her leftshoulder was sore where she hadoeer. bracing it against the door tothe cockpit. She pulled away andsighed. <•‘That was wonderful, Jerry!"she said.‘‘I should say-so!" agreed DoctorOverton. "But can we ever get offagain with a full load?"■Depends on the wind." Jerrymuttered "And some luck. Anotherten feet and we could be sure, butit will be tough. Anyway—let'scross that bridge when we cometo it Now there's work to be done!”After Jerry bad cut the Ignitionand released his safety belt, hebriskly worked his way backthrough the plane and opened thedoor Below on the ground stoodihree of the French guerrillas,beaming with such smiles that itseemed their faces could not express their pleasure.Jsrry grinned and saluted informally In answer to their welcoming cries in French. He hoppedto the ground and found himself•embraced In a crushing bear-hug□y the largest of the three men—a giant with a black curly beard,very pink cheeks, and the chestof a gorilla."Veil-come!” he cried in his besteffort at English. "Tree sheers forles Americains!"•Thanks, fella," Jerry mumbled,releasing himself and turning tocatcb Laura as she jumped fromthe plane.Doctor Overton quickly followed,and Jerry noted the mountaineer’sgreat relief to hear fluent and easyFrench—not only fluent and easy,but with the particular accent ofthe men of the Haute Savoie.
"Ahl bn • nomine oes tni.iagnes!" he cried, turning to hiscompanions, who so far had donenothing but smile their greetings.Jerry saw that other men werereplacing the fake rock and treesin the center of the field. The sheepunconcernedly cropped the shortgrass near them."Lookl” Laura said, touchingJerry’s arm and pointing; "Whatare those men doing?”Jerry saw half a dozen men dragging toward them long poles withfresh-cut branches of trees fastenedto the ends."Don’t know," he replied. "Somesort of camouflage. Oh, yes—forthe plane, of course!”Then he saw that Doctor Overtonwas getting back into the planeand that two of the first three guerrillas were following him.“Going to unload. I guess,” Jerrysaid to Laura. “I’d better get upthere, too. You stay below and seethat they handle things right downhere.”Then men with the long poleswere now leaning them against thewings and fuselage of the plane, sothat the branches fastened to thetips arched above the craft.The three Frenchmen who hadacted as shepherds snatched theropes to which the sheep weretethered and dragged them towardthe center of the field. And thenLaura heard it—the faint throbbing of an airplane motor in theskies overhead. She wrinkled herbrows trying to see something atthe spot from which the sound
seemed to come.“StlD too high,” she muttered toherself. "Wonder if he’s coming-down.”"German plane?” Laura askedJerry."Yes,” he replied.. ”Ihe Frenchsay that observation planes areover this region all the time', look
ing for any clues as to concentrations of the guerrillas. They'iv notout often on overcast days likethis, though. Maybe they pickedup the sound of our motors somewhere and are out looking tor us.Maybe he won’t dare come downout of the clouds.”But the sound of the plane's motors had been growing louder asthey spoke, and now Jerry clutchedtier arm and pointed, without saying a word She followed the lineat his finger and saw. just breaking through the cloud bank, a smallairplaneAs it came completely into view,Laura saw that jt was a single-seater reconnaissance plane—oneof the little craft with steep climband slow landing speeds.

after their mad dash onto the field.It was as placid and bucolic ascene, she thought, as one couldwish.She suddenly wondered just howwell the plane was camouflaged.Did those branches look unnaturally bunched? Or, if that sameNazi flier had been over the pasture before, would he recall that
no clump of trees had jutted outjust that way previously?Obscured by bushes and overhanging branches through whichthey could not possibly be seenfrom the air. Laura, Jerry andDoctor Overton anxiously and silently watched the Nazi reconnaissance plane overhead.The little craft made its waystraight up the pasture an altitude just below the clouds, then—as It neared the end—started toclimb. In a moment it had pokedits nose into the cloud, and fora short space half a plane seemed*suspended in the air.Finally the gray fog swallowedall of the craft marked with thebold black cross, and Laura sighedwith relief.But she noticed that Jerry wasstill listening to the sound of the-plane's motor, more Intently thanbefore. The shepherds on the fieldhad made no move to remove thesheep or to come back to the plane.There was a deep silence every-
. uie diminishing‘ pu.-pui ’ ul tiie little plane's engine.Suddenly the sound ceased. Atfirst Laura thought it had justpassed beyond her range of hearing, but then she realized therewas something strange about theway that motor's sound, faint asit was, had ended so quickly.She looked up at Jerry, ques-tioningly.“A trick, ail right,” he snapped."He was climbing more steeplythan he needed to. Gained altitude, traveled some distance untilhe thought he was out of hearing,then cut his motor. I’ll bet he'scircling around with his motor offor Idling.”"Why?” Laura asked."If there's anything funny aboutthis field,” Jerry explained quickly,"anything going on here, he figures everybody will think he's gone
and go back to whatever they weredoing. So he's gliding back to have
"I guess the guerrillas are on tothat trick,” Doctor Overton said.“They haven't moved.”“There!” Jerry exclaimed.Laura saw the plane at the moment Jerry spoke. It slid in an evil,sneaking silence from the dirty-gray cloud, coming from the north,the direction in which it had disappeared. Jerry had been rightLaura heard a little sound fromIts engine, and saw that its propeller turned slowly, idling.But In a moment there was aroar as the pilot gave the enginethe gun, the propeller whirled withpower and the plane pointed upward again, banking to the northonce more as it went off into theclouds. The Nazi observer had seenthe field just as it was on his firsttrip over, so he was satisfied.In two minutes they were unloading the plane again, swiftlyand seriously.In a short while, they were allclimbing a path that wound stc eplyup the Roc d’Enfer toward theguerrillas* headquarters in the cave.The smiling giant led the way,followed by his two lieutenants.Now cartridge belts were slungabout their waists and rifles overtheir shoulders. And they carried boxqs of ammunition heavierthan Laura would have thought twomen could lift. These men seemedpartial to the boxes of ammunitionabove an other equipment that hadbeen brought in the plane.For some time after leaving thepasture, they walked along thepath through the trees in silence,each one concentrating on carry
ing the heavy burden he carried.Laura noticed that the leadermaintained a slow, steady pace.It was a steep climb, and she recalled that it was two miles fromthe pasture to the cave.After fifteen minutes she was
puffing with the exertion. Leaning forward to bear the weight ofthe pack more easily, she kept hereyes on the leaf-covered path ather feet Suddenly she bumped intoJerry, stopped, and looked up.The leader had halted, with hisband in the air. Then he whistled,a clear, bird-like whistle with apleasant lilt to it. Ahead and tothe right, there was an answeringwhistle of the same kind. Theleader dropped his hand and started forward once more, and theothers followed him."Lookouts—snipers," Jerry muttered, half turning his head forLaura to hear. “They’ve got thishill guarded like the mint!”Periodically the leader stoppedand uttered his whistle. When theanswer came, the columlii proceeded once more. But not oncedid Laura sec a man among thetrees. The lookouts were wellconcealed.Suddenly Laura heard voices,excited voices, just ahead. Lookingpast Jerry’s broad back, she sawthe end of the trail, against ashort steep precipice of solid rock.In front of it stood half a dozenmen, talking together, pointing,and waving their arms. Othersjoined them quickly, some fromthe woods nearby, others from thehuge cave opening which Lauranow discerned in the precipice.some or tne men were oressealike the other guerrillas—in thesturdy but shabby clothes of thesemen of the mountains. Some werein military uniforms—one in thatof the Free French Army and fourin British or American Army uniforms.They hurried down the path andbegan to take boxes and bundlesfrom the marchers, talking andlaughing all the time in their happiness at seeing the new arrivals.Laura felt strong arms lift thepack from her back, and shesmiled up at the grinning, unshaven face of an American.•Heavy pack for a little gal,’’he said. “Boy, are we glad to seeyou! Figured that plane we heardmight be yours. The Jerries don’thave many two-motored jobs coming over this area.”Laura saw that the man waslimping badly as he strode up thelast twenty feet to the little clearing in front of the cave."Here!” die cried. “Give thatpack back to me. You’ve got a badleg there—shouldn’t be carrying aheavy load.”"It’s not so bad.” the American.said.
Then Laura saw that most o£the others who had greeted themwere wounded, too. Some limped,two had arms in homemade slingsanother’s head was swathed tobandages.
There was now a milling crowdin front of the cave—a crowd ofguerrillas and British and Americans.Then Doctor Overton’s voice cutthrough the jumble of noise. Thisquiet mild - mannered man nowspoke with authority, with command. Immediately everyone wassilent, turning to the doctor.
He instructed Jerry to supervisethe setting up of the big tent whichthey bad brought with them toserve as an operating room.Glancing up, Laura knew thatoverhanging branches from thetowering trees nearby would hidethe tent-from the sky.Next Doctor Overton asked the.leader of the guerrillas to have someof his men build a fire close to theentrance of the tent But to thisthere was some objection."We build no fires,” the leaderexplained emphatically. "Thesmoke would reveal tbat peopleare here. Our cooked food hascome from a few mountaineers*cabins not far away in these hills—places where the Nazis would notbe surprised to see the smoke fromfires."
"I must have a fire here!” Doe-tor Overton said. “No matter whatthe danger, I must have boilingwater.”There was a silence of « few moments as the leader thought seriously.(TO BK COKTINUKD)
When we are told on the author
ity of Mh. .Chnrchill, that the new '
atomic bomb has been instrumental
in saving a million and a half lives
of allied soldiers, we have some right
to rejoice at the terror, caused by *
that latest of science’s deadly weap
ons. If we regret that some hundred
thousand of Japanese lives have
been sacrificed to the bomb, we must
also admit that that number is far
less than would have been the case
had the war become a matter of
fighting for every square inch of
Japanese territory, as it no doubt
would have become.
Ifllas done what it was hoped it
might and no wwe can pray that for
all time, it be laid aside as a weapon
of offence. That Science won’t re
main content with the status quo is
likely to be conceded by all; al
though British scientists, reaching a
certain stage in their experiments
some time ago, and becoming
alarmed at the terrible thing they
were about to release on the world,
did hesitate and finally refuse to
continue to their research. Like Gals
worthy, who shortly before he died,
came to the conclusion that man
had better never have invented the
heavier-than-air machine, if he must
use it as a weapon of war, these
scientists saw that man, being the
creature he is, the creator of woe
for other men, might take this new
power and make of it a horrifying
thing of destruction, as, of course,
he did. And this is the thing in its
infancy, a Frankenstein in swad
dling clothes. What may it not be
come when another generation of
scientists have given it their atten
tion? Will it not grow in propor
tion as did the airplane during one
generation from a little single-seater
that could travel a hundred miles or
so to drop a few pounds of bombs in
1914, to be the giant bomber of to
day, with a range of thousands of
miles and a carrying capacity of
many tons? Can anyone visualize a
like growth for the atomic bomb and
not be fearful of what man in hit;
destroying, mania may do? The se
cret at the present time, we are told,
lies with the Government of the Uni
ted -States. Scientists of many lands, |
and Germany not the least, have,
long worked on the problem, and al
though the whole process is known
to only a few, yet these others must
be very near the solution. Who is to
say how many yet learn it; how they
may yet use it?
We are assured that the energy
that has revolutionized warfare, can
be used eventually to revolutionize
our way of living; that it can give
to all mankind a new standard, an '
easier'hnd more gracious way of life.
But if the secret rests in the hands
of one nation’s government, will it
not be used to the benefit of that
nation alone? It is hard to believe
that such a secret can remain a se- j
cret long; that scientists the world
over, won't be exerting every fibre
of their beings to wrest the full ac
count from the Universal Mind. In
this, too, they will be helped in every
conceivable. way by their govern
ments, the financiers and the man
ufacturers, for all nations are eager
for trade and trade depends on en
ergy. To him <who has the “open
sesame’’ to atomic energy, who
knows best how to ultilize it and
control it, goes the prize of world
trade.
Maybe we are unnecessarily pessi
mistic about atomic energy; that
knowing nothing about it, we regard
it as a bogey. But we are so utterly
inclined to destruction, to the ruth
less use of power. It has seldom
seemed to make us gentle, or willing
to spend it in amelioration of other’s
ills. Always, whether in the hands
of individuals or nations, It has ten
ded to spend itself in the pursuit of
more power, and finally to over
reach itself and * expend itself in
vain.
Are we any wiser than we wore?
Does infinitely greater power con
duce in us a greater desire to use it
less ruthlessly? If we could but
think so, we should see the world,
the whole world, marching on joy
ous feet towards the light of a new
day. It could be, for the power re
leased from the atom, controlled and
used only for the welfare of the
race, has potentialities .for great
glorious good, as it has already dem
onstrated it has for horrendous and
endless destruction. Pray God we
be imbued .with more sense than
heretofore, or our amazing clever
ness will be the end of us.

Len Tripp began flying 29 years
ago and today, with over 15,000
hours in the air to his credit, he
runs one of Canada’s foremost civ
ilian flying school* and is just wait
ing dn new post-war plana for a
several time* over expansion.
It wah during the last war when
Len, a member of the Imperial
Army, got into flying. He’d been
wounded by shrapnel in the tren
ches, and it was in the days when
pilots were needed badly. They were
being shot down almost as fast as
they took to the air.
Because a man sat down in a
plane, flying in those days was con
sidered an easy job—so far as phy
sical resistance and stamina were
concerned at least. So while still
more or less recuperating, Len
learned to fly and stayed with it un
til the end of the war and for four
years after.
While still a member of the Royal
Flying Corps, he heard about flying
in Canada, and the planned form
ation of a provincial air service to
help fight forest fires in.Ontario. So
to Canada he came anfl got a job
flying those big old fljing boats that
were first used to ferry fire fighters
and their equipment in to the inter
ior regions.
In 1926 a historic event took
place. Canada's first civilian flying
school opened in Hamilton, and Len
was hired as its first and only in
structor. Students came from all
over Canada to train on the old war
Jenny which Len flew from early
morning to late at nifcht.
Dual instruction was $25 an hour,
but there was no fortune in it either
for Len or the school operator.
Most of the money went down the
drink in the high costs which had to
be met. But some of T.C.A.’s best
veteran pilots to-day are men who
got their first flying instruction from
Len Tripp in Hamtoilinltnmo fiT
Len Tripp in Hamilton 19 years ago.
The airport they used then, ind^den-
tally,- is now an artillery range about
a mile or two from the municipal
airport where the Cub Aircraft fac
tory is located, and Len, to-day, by
coincidence, is the cub dealer in
Toronto as well as a flying school
operator.
Late in the 30’s, Len began in
structing with another civilian flying
school at Toronto's Barker Field
and two years ago he branched out
on his own. His small pre-war light
planes rtTe now constantly in the air
and one of his best customers is a
T.C.A. captain who flies in regularly
several times a week from Winnipeg
on his 220 mile-an-hour Lockheed,
then drives over to Barker field for
a flight in a little 65-fiorespower,
two-seater. 80-mile-an-hour Cub.
"He gets a tremendous kick out
of it,” chuckles Len. “I suppose it’s
because flying a big plane is work
while this is more like play.”
Market Low Grade
Cattle This Month
Forecasting record cattle market
ing this fall, the Dominion Depart
ment of Agriculture requests today
called on farmers to prevent congest
ion in packing plants by marketing
their low grade cattle in August.
Bulls, dry cows and plain cattle^
should be marketed in August and
all steers and heifers which have
attained good -finish by September,
should then be marketed promptly
says the Department.
By following this marketing plan,
I farmers will be able to dispose of
• their old cows of both beef and
(dairy breeding, and younger cattle
I of undesirable type at more advan-[tageous prices than obtainable on a
i congested market in the fall. Last
I October and November, poor quality
' cattle flooded the markets in such
quantities that packing plants could
not handle them with the result that
some fanners lost money in cattle
feed bills and in weight shrinkage.
The Department described pack
ing plant capacity as sufficient to
handle promptly all cattle offered
this fall if marketings are a* orderly
as suggested. Packing plant labour
is said to be fully as plentiful a* last
year and more storage space is now
available.

Certified Raspberry
Canes Are Wanted
(Science Service News)
With an increased interest in
raspberry growing in Ontario, the
use of certified raspberry planting
stock for setting out new plantations
is essential to profitable production.
This is still the most practical and
economical method of controlling
the virus diseases, mosaic and leaf
curl, both of which 'reduce yields
and adversely affect the vigour and
life of the plants.
Unfortunately, the supply of cer
tified cane promises to be short of
the demand, unless additional
sources of supply can be found. In
this connection, canes arising from
young non-fruiting plantations found
free or relatively free from virus
diseases are eligible for certification.
Growers with a supply of such canes
are invited to make early applica
tion to the Dominion Laboratory of
Plant Pathology, at St. Catharines,
Ont., for the free inspection service.
If inspection requirements are ful
filled, they will be provided with a
certificate and the canes may be
disposed of as certified planting
stock to which official inspection tags
can be attached.
The inspection service which is
carried on during the latter part of
August and early September is *Lso
available, on application, to any
grower interested in obtaining infor
mation relative to'raspberry diseases.
Knowledge concerning diseases of
raspberries is an important' aid to
profitable production.

agination of the period. Fiction
writers mentioned head-dresses and
artists used them; on calendars, in
illustrations and the cigar store In
dians of the last century they are
shown as if they were characteristic
of all Indians. Needless to say, this
tfras an error; they belonged to the
Plains Indians and to them alone.
No one could wear such a head-dress
in the dense forests either of the
west coast or of Ontario.
However, the tradition of the head
dress got into history books and In
dian children in all parts of North
America “learned” that their fore
fathers used feathers—the white man
said so, therefore it must be so. It
was an easy step from this to the
man|ffacture of feather headdresses,
often of chicken feathers, to satisfy
the wishes of the tourist photo
grapher or the needs of the pageant.
So to-day one meets in all parts of
the continent feather headdresses
often clumsily made. They are sad
degenerations of the beautifully
manufactured and dyed insignia of
the Plains Indians, wherein each
feather stood for a definite achieve
ment according to rules of warfare
that were as rigid as they were in
the days of the tournaments’of med

mediately following the close of the
honey flow. This is especially true in
regions where there is little or no
fall flow. Once the robbers get well
started in an apiary, there is little
the beekeeper can do to stop " them
without loss.
Because robbing is much* more
easily prevented than cured, C. B.
Goodcrham, Dominion Apiarist,
issues a timely warning. Do not, he
advises, open hives more than nec
essary towards the end or after the
honey flows. If necessary to open
hives, cover all exposed supers with
rubber cloths or sacks to prevent
robbing. Protect and strengthen all
weak colonies. If there is any ten
dency to rob, reduce all entrances.
Anyj colony that Is in danger of
being overcome by robb’ers should
be moved to the cellar for a few
days. See that the honey house is
bee proof and keep the door closed
all the time. If any colonies have to
be examined, do it in the evening or
under a bee tent Carelessness in
these respects will likely result in
general robbing being started,
which will cause much trouble and
possible loss of colonies.

SPECULATION AND PLANS
There is much speculation along
Parliament Hill at this time what
will happen as a result of the sudden
and swift end of the war against the
Japanese since, aside from the pub
lie celebration in the nation’s capi
tal as well aa in all other places,
there are numerous problems con
fronting the authorities and these
must be solved quickly. It is clear
that the Government in Ottawa must
take appropriate and speedy action,
after the war against Japanese has
became another chapter in the his
tory of World War II, in order to
bring about a proper reconversion
pf Canadian industry from wartime
to peacetime production, increasing
production of materials in short sup
ply for civilian demands and elimin
ating bottlenecks in industry. But
this alone will remove the cause for
exsitemeat in Ottawa in one direct
ion only.
There are problems in other dir
ections, too, since the fast moving
developments will raise other de
tailed issues as a result of the ead
of hostilities in the Far East because
there are 30,000 Canadian troops
supposed to be trained in the United
States for action in the Pacific, about
60 Canadian ships booked for-service
there, a large number of Canadian
technical me nand observers already
serving with Allied forces in that
theatre of war, and Canada’s eleven
bomber and transport squadrons
slated for the Far East. Likewise
there are other problems facing the
authorities as a direct result of the
latest developments and it would
seem in Ottawa that a number of
important decisions or plane will
have to be made rather quickly in
tune with the fast pace of minute-tb-
minute developments. including
plans for military as well as civilian
needs in the Far East.
seem to strew that there was gen
eral approval and happiness that the
next occupant of Government House
would be British and a military gen
ius, not unlike the Governor-General
who came here right after World
War 1, Baron Byng of Vimy, se that
history would seem to have repeated
itself. Then again, the idea of a
Canadian being picked for Governor-
General, appears to have lacked en
thusiasm and appeal, though it had
been expected to create much more
interest than it did.
MONEY, MONEY AND
MORE MONEY
It can be reported that grim de
termination prevails in this capital
that the taxpayers of this aountry
shall get a proper balance between
any possible lowering of their finan
cial burdens in the postwar era and
the raising of the living standards.
How? Though generous proposals
have been made to the provinces in
return for granting the Federal
Government exclusive rights for col
lecting income, corporation and suc
cession duty taxes, yet observers be
lieve that this is expected to be ac
complished through financial adjust
ments, with revenues and loans of
the Federal Government held as
likely to pay the costs of the pro
posals of the central authorities
especially when it is remembered
that Canada’s national income has
gone up to a point where last year
it was nine billion dollars as com
pared with four z billion dollars in
I the year when this World War II
had started. It is held that, if this
level of income can be continued, the
Federal Government would be able
to balance its expenditures or to
carry on with a small deficit.
that the British householders nowprefer these Canadian products.When it is remembered that thepeople of Britain eat about a billion pounds «f bacon in normal yearsfor a twelve months period or nearly
three million pounds of beef a year,
in addition to other things, the sig
nificance of this report can be read
ily appreciated. Indeed, such inform
ation reveals that Canada may ■ sell
to Britain over 450,000,000 pounds
of Wiltshire bacon a year during the
next ten or more years and the
exports of Canadian beef could be
vastly increased in the eoming years,
though to-day Canada is already sup
plying Britain with aboue 85 per
cent of her Imported bacon and she
has shipped this year about 80,000,-
000 pounds of beef and will send
another 80,000,000 pounds before
the end of 1945. AH in all, the oqt-
look in Ottawa indicates that the
Canadian farmer’s products will find
a profitable all year market for Can
adian beef, bacon, etc., in the United
Kigndom for the next few years at
least, if nat for another generation
or more.

COMPULSORY MILITARY
TRAINING?
Notwithstanding all the rumours
which have been heard about the
possibility that Canada is planning
to establish a system of compulsory
military training after World War
II, yet up to this time of writing
there has been no hint of such a
wrfieme being in the making or for
mulated in Ottawa though reports
indicate that there is considerable
opinion along Parliament Hill that
military training would help the
health of the average Canadian boy
and it'would provide an opportunity
for the Canadian boy to learn more
about his own country if he would
travel from one province to another
for training. Moreover, there would
be no lack of a backbone for such
a system to be established, if it
should be created., since it is known
in Ottawa that there are a great
many men now in the armed services
who would be willing to go into a
-Regular army in peacetime if they
could get the chance.
FAULTY FORECAST
Ever since Premier King had sug
gested in a sort of “trial balloon”
that there was a possibility that a
Canadian would be named as the
•next Governor-General and that a
man with administrative qualities
rather than military was sought,
with the actual nomination having
been Field Marshal Sir Harold Alex
ander, inquiries in this capital would
MORE WORK THAN WORKERS
Notwithstanding all other after
maths of the conclusion of the war,
there are more works than workers
at this time across Canada. This
seems to be the general impression
along Parliament Hill where all^sorts
of whispers have been accompanying
the present swift moving events on
the international scene, especially
the fear in many circles that unem
ployment would result as an after
math from the sudden end of hostil
ities against the Japanese, with one
of the most popular stories heard in
the capital being that many workers
had become accustomed to receiving
higher wages in their employment
during the war so that many of them
are most reluctant to accept work
now in peactime occupations or prim
ary industries for less pay. Never
theless, only a short time ago it was
stated in Ottawa that less appli
cants were registered in employment
offices in Canada than the demand
for jobs to be filled, though this re
luctance to accept work nt less pay
may or may not have been one of
the causes.
CANADA IS FAVOURED
As a direct result of the war, in
formation in this capital indicates
that Canada may have attained a
stronger hold than ever on the
markets in the United Kingdom for
the products of the Canadian farms
for bacon, cheese, eggs, dressed
poultry, wheat and high quality
chilled beef. It appears that experts
have returned to Ottawa from abroad
with this important information and
ber of farm worker* from Eastern
Canada to the Prairie Province* for
the grain harvest will be undertaken
again this year by the Dominion
Labour Department, according to an
announcement made the other day
by Hon. Humphrey Mitchell, Min
ister of Labour. Up to' 6,000 farm
workers from Ontario and
Quebec will be involved
movement.
The Dominion Labour
said that his Department bad been
working in co-operation with Pro
vincial officials of Ontario and Que
bec, and Provincial officials of the
Prairie Provinces, laying plans for
the transfer. Men will be recruited
voluntarily in the Central Provinces,
and will be moved to distributioa
centres on the Prairies, from which
they will be despatched to local
points where their services are re
quired for harvesting.
The Railway* havfr-again this yearagreed to give the Labour Depart
ment substantial reductions in fares
as an assistance in operating this
excursion,” Hon. Mr. Mitchell said,
“so much so that we will again move
the men West free of charge, and
require only a nominal payment of
ten dollars for the return trip.”
It is expected that the departure
of men from Ontario and Quebec
will start late in August, although
the heavier portion of the move
ment will probably not take place
kintil Sejllember, as harvesting in
Ontario and Quebec is late. The
plan worked out between officials of
the Department of Labour and those
of the Provinces of Ontario and
Quebec provides that men will not
be removed from any area in thoso
two provinces so long as their ser
vices are still required for the har
vesting of local c.ops. Also, certain
areas in Ontario may be excluded
from the excursion—particularly in
Southwestern Ontario—because of
the continuing demands for farm
labour even after the bulk of the
harvest has been taken off. On the
other hand, farmers from the North
western Districts of Ontario ’will
likely be included this year, although
excluded a year ago. In the Province

Find New Beetle
Attacking Lilies
A new destructive insect, which
prefers regal lilies but attacks other
varieties of this flower’too, has been
found for the fist time in North
America, says H. G. Crawford, Do
minion Entomologist This new In
sect, one of the leaf beetles, which
bears the scientific name of Lilio-
ceria lilii (Scop), is bright red in
colour and feeds on the blossoms
and leaves of lilies. It was discovered
at the latter part of last month
attacking regal lilies in three gar-
dens at Outremont, Que. Lilioceris
lilii came, like many varieties of
destructive insects now well estab
lished in Canada, from Eurppe, but
when it first came to this continent
or just how it came is not y£t known.
Now that it is here Mr. Crawford
wants to get all the information
possible about "It and asks anyone
who has a garden who finds one or
more of the new beetle feeding on
lilies- to collect specimens, preferably
adults, and send with helpful obser
vations to Dominion Entomologist,
Dominion Department of .Agricul
ture, Ottawa. No postage is required.
The co-operation of lily growers
and gardeners generally will enable
the Dominion Division of Entom
ology to evolve measures of control
more quickly.
“Help your -wife," says Good
Housekeeping. “When she mops up
the floor, mop the floor with her.”
•f Quebec it is planned to include
in the area for the recruitment of
-workers to go West, only those coun
ties adjacent to the Hull Area, and
the Northwestern corner of the
Province.
“Demands for food continue to be
insistent and urgent,” the' Labour
Minister said, “so that it is vitally
important once again that we harvest
everything that our farmers have
grown. The men from the farms of
Ontario and Quebec make ideal har
vesters for the grain fields of the
Prairies. Annually since 19-12 they
have offered in large numbers to
assist the Western farmer, and it is
difficult to see how all the Western
crops would have been saved except
for the assistance of farmers from
Ontario "and Quebec. We anticipate I
that once again
difficulty la securing the necessary
numbers to take the trip West As
far as Ontario is concerned, this ex
cursion will be in repayment of the
help given Ontario farmers by more
than 2,000 men from the Prairies
who came East this year for early
harvesting.”
The men going from the East will
be paid current harvesting rates on
the Prairies, and in other years the
Eastern farmer has been able to
bring back with him a sizeable sum
of money.
As last year, fanners wishing to
go West will contact the nearest
office of the National Employment
Service, in order to make arrange
ments for transportation, and in
order to get full details in regard
to the journey. Officials of thewe will have no I Labour Department point out that

An important rehabilitation plan,
designed to speed the return of hun
dreds of service men to civilian life
and, at the same time, make avail
able a corps of trained personel re
quired to launch Hydro's five-year
rural electrification project, has
been announced by Dr. Thomas H.
Hogg, chairman of The Hydro-Elec
tric Power Commission of Ontario.
On September 4 this plan becomes
effective with the opening of the
Commission's school for the training
of linemen. Located on the site of
the York transformer station on
Royal York Road, this school which
comes under the direction of the
Commiss*ion’s personnel department,
headed by Wills Maclachlan, will be
under the immediate supervision of
S. K. Cheney with K. W. MacDer-
mott acting as chief instructor.
Present plans indicate that ap
proximately 50 students will be
trained every three months, or some
200 students each year to fill posi
tions as linemen required to meet
the nedds of the Commission's post
war plans which include the five-
year rural electrification programme,
announced recently by Bion. George
H. Chailies, vice-chairman of the
Commission, and involving the buil
ding of over 7,000 miles of new
rural distribution line.
Hydro municipalities throughout
Ontario, through the Optario Muni
cipal Electric Association, headed
by W. Ross Strike, former mayor of
Bowmanville and now a member of
the Hydro Commission, have had an
active role in bringing the new plan
itno effect. Both the Association
and the Commission, it is pointed
out, recognized the need for such a
school where linemen could be
trained for Commission service and
also for positions with local Hydro
utilities. At the same time, the De
partment of Veterans’ Affairs is co
operating closely in the development
of the plan.
The Commission indicated that this
school would be the largest of its
kind in Canada and that it was highly
probable its facilities would be ex
tended to include training in other
trades associated with the operation
of Hydro.
The present buildings, although
of a temporary character, are com
pletely equipped. In addition to the
school proper, there will be sleeping
and dining accommodation for the
students and instructors. Present
facilities in the school include all
the tools used in line work.
The course is one in which the
emphasis is definitely on the prac
tical work which will be supple
mented by lectures and visual edu
cational methods involving the use
of sound pictures. In this way, men
who are “green” at the start, will,
at the close of the course, be thor
oughly familiar with the most mod
ern methods of line construction,
the theory of electricity and safety
practices. Students who pass the ex
amination will then be ready to lake
positions as junior linemen.
The men who direct the operations
of the school are specially fitted for
the work, the supervisory and teach
ing personnel having had years of
experience in many phases of Hydro
work, while they have been specially
trained for their new tasks.
For the most part, students will
come from the ranks of returning
service men. To qualify for enrol
ment, a student must have a mini
mum of two years's high school edu
cation, be physically fit and have a
liking for outdoor work.

Archibald, Director, Dominion Ex
perimental Farm Service. “Inaction
on the part of farmers, indifference
on the part of municipalities, rail
roads and others are causing ever-
increasing losses through weeds in
crops and by increased costs of pro
duction among those fanners who
are attempting control . measuers.
Diligence and thoroughness are the
only sure remedy,” he says. “In cul
tural measures, the use of clean seed
and the prevention of the introduc
tion of still worse weeds for which
there are no control measures, is
urgent. Why take 20 per cent less
crop of grains, hay and pasture, and
why use 50 per cent more labour on
all the crops if adequate control
measures by individuals in commun
ities would save these?” he asks.
Control of Celery Blights
(Science Service ‘ News)
The application of a fungicide to
celery at regular intervals through
out the growing period is just as im
portant in the production of the crop
as any of the cultural practices fol
lowed by the grower. Regardless of
the care taken and expense involved
in bringing the crop to maturity, if
the plants are blighted at harvest
time, they are far less valuable and
may even be entirely worthless.
There arp few diseases that can
be controlled 100 per cent, and cel
ery blights are no exception. How
ever, if the proper fungicides are
applied regularly, these diseases
should bo reduced to a point where
bosses are negligible.
Use a cbpper fungicide recom
mended for the control of blights
and make thorough and regular ap
plications at every 7 to 10 days
throughout the growing season. If
disease appears on the plants, use
the shorter (7-day) interval. Wheth
er a spray or a Just fungicide is
used depends largely on the individ
ual grower’s equipment, the acreage
to be treated, the proximity to a
good water supply, and other factors.
Although liquid fungicides generally
control blights better than dusts,
especially in seasons favourable for
the development of diseases, many
growers favour the labour-saving
dusting method which gives good
control in most seasons.
Experiments conducted at the Do
minion Laboratory of Plant Path
ology, St. Catharines, Ont, have
shown that Burgundy fixture 4-4-40
has consistenly proved superior to
any other spray materia! for the
control of celery blights. This spray
is made up the same os Bordeaux
mixture, but washing soda is used
instead of lime.
