Security For The Farmer
DURING THE PAST FEW YEARS Canada has enjoyed a period of unprecedented prosperity, Industrial expansion has taken place On a very large scale and incomes have risen rapidly in that field. It is interesting to know that agriculture has likewise prospered during this period and that farm incomes have also risen, enabling many farmers to substantially improve their financial positions. It has been an accepted fact, in the past that as a whole farmers did not receive a large share of the national in- come, and it is gratifying to learn that this is no longer the case, That increased farm income is being wisely used is demonstrated by figures which have been made public by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, show- ing the reductions which have been made in farm debts in the past few years, . * . . .
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics has reported that Debt Reduced in 1946 the number of farms on which there were
om | mortgages or debts on lands or buildings was re- On Prairies duced by 42 per cent. Mortgage debts on buildings and lands in the prairie provinces in 1941 amounted to $173,102,500, In 1946 this figure had dropped to $80,444,000 which was 53.5 per cent. below the total for 1941. The report showed that the greatest drop had taken place in Saskatchewan. In the same period, agreements for sale debts in the prairie provinces dropped from $123,393,800 to $80,043,500 or by 34.9 per cent. In this case, the reduction in Alberta was greater than in either Saskatchewan or Manitoba.
e * * LJ s oc While debts on lands and buildings have been substan-
Living Costs tially reduced, the farmer like all other citizens has had
H to contend with rising operating and living costs. In Have Risen April of this year the index covering the farmer's oper- ating and living costs had risen to the record level of 183.2 with costs in the years 1935 to 1939 as a basis of 100. Farm machinery was one of the first articles from which price controls were lifted, and there have been rises also in taxes, wages for farm help, clothing and many other things. Farm income in the first quarter of 1948 was $64,562,000 more than in the same period in 1947 and $105,617,000 more than in the first three months of 1946. While they have had to meet rising costs, it is gratifying to know that farmers have taken advantage of the present period of prosperity to substantially decrease their debts and thus increase their present and future security.

Sees Canada As World Leader In Uranium Ore
OTTAWA. — Canadian scientists
generally agree Canada is gradually |
overtaking the Belgian Congo as the world's greatest producer of uranium ore,
One of these scientists is 47-year- old Arvid Thunaes, who is in a unique position to know. As chief of the radio-activity division of the govern ment’s mine bureau, he commutes between Ottawa and Eldorado—the government’s vast uranium enter. prise in the Northwest Territories.
Returning from his fifth trip te Great Bear Lake, the uranium expert said he is fully satisfied Canada is “on the right road to a bright atomic future.”
Thunaes agrees with atomic en- ergy control board scientists in Ot- tawa it is quite possible that Canada already has exceeded the Congo’s known uranium production.
He is certain too, that Canada is ahead of Russia in production of uranium ore,
Canadian Pay Rolls Set Record
OTTAWA. — The pay envelope of Canada’s industrial worker is at its fattest in seven years—perhaps an all-time record size.
Average weekly earnings of work- ers in eight leading industries were $40.49 on July 1, and the bureau of statistics reported that is a peak for the seven years in which the bureau has been recording payrolls.
The new figure represented an in- crease from $40.02 at June 1 and from $36.15 a year previously.
The payroll average was computed from “advance” tabulation of figures int eight leading industries—manufac- turing, logging, communications, transportation, construction, trade, mining and services such as hotels and laundries.
In manufacturing, the weekly av- erage payroll at July 1 was $41.20, compared with $40.63 at June 1 and $36.47 a year previously.

In a recent issue on the “World News in Pictures” page there was a picture of an eagle with the caption under it “Biggest Eagle Shot in Southern Ontario”.

It is held by two daugh- ters of Mr. and Mrs. John Pauls of that district. Mrs. Pauls killed the eagle with the stick shown in the picture after it had eaten one of the chickens, and then got caug?ft in the fence,
PEACE RIVER SETS NEW GRAIN RECORD
EDMONTON.—Records were brok- en for grain shipments from the Peace River district in the crop year ended July 31, with an aggregate movement of 23,850,000 bushels, an increase of 500,000 bushels over the record of the previous year.
Half of the shipments during the past year were made up of wheat, the remainder comprising oats, bar- ley, rye and flax. In store in coun- try elevators at the end of the crop year were 650,000 bushels of various grains, against one million bushels a year before.
With an ever-increasing. amount of grain from this rich northern Al- berta district, elevator companies launched an expansion program last year. New elevators were opened at High Prairie, Woking, Grimshaw and two at Dawson Creek/ in the B.C. Block. Fer aee

One In Twenty Enter Mental Hospitals
OTTAWA. — One in 20 Canadians will spend at least part of their lives in a mental institution. :
But, despite the fact that in the last 15 years there has been a 60 per cent, increase in the population of mental hospitals health and welfare officials aren’t unduly alarmed over the situation.
First of all Canada’s aging popula- tion has a lot to do with it.
Dr. C. G. Stogdill, ¢hief of the de-
partment’s mental health division, said in an interview here that about 25 per cent. of those now in institu-
tions are aged persons,
Then again, more persons are be- ginning to accept mental hospital care,
“While the mental hospital still is under a stigma, it is nothing like what it was some years ago,” said Dr. Stogdill.
He added that Canada’s 16 mental health clinics throughout the Domin- ion were doing much to assist per- sons in need of specialized treatment, but not hospital care.
A shortage of trained personnel— and especially of social workers skill- ed in psychiatric treatment—is the main problem holding up post-war expansion of these. clinics, particu- larly in western Canada,
Sometimes sponsored by a school board, juvenile court, parent-teacher organization, or other group, the clinic is staffed by a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and a social worker,
Behavior of epileptics, children, and others are studied at the clinic. Dr. Stogdill described as “a most healthy sign”, the fact that teachers are beginning to show a great in- terest in what makes children behave the way they do.
As well as providing treatment, workers at the clinics tell teachers and parents how to detect undesir- able behavior trends.
Dr. Stogdill said he felt the time was quickly approaching when men- tal health services should be integrat- ed with other health services to the community.
“People are realizing more and more the part psychological factors play in illnesses,” he _ concluded. “They also realize that delinquency has natural causes, and they are going to look for people who know the “answers’’.
ANCIENT DEBATE
ARE WHITE MUSKRATS ALBINOS ?
THE PAS, Man. — An innocent)
question by a Chinese taxidermist— Mar Young of this northern Mani- toba mining town—has brought to the fore an ancient debate about the origin of white muskrats in the swamps near here.
There are two schools of thought:
1. The muskrats are albinos. This view apparently is supported by oecologists—specialists in that branch of biology dealing with the habits, modes of life and relations to their surroundnigs of living organisms.
2. White muskrats were released near Prince Albert, Sask., 30 years ago; they interbred and migrated overland to the Saskatchewan River delta regions,
Supporters of the second theory contend white muskrats have brown eyes, proving that a white muskrat is a breed, not a freak. Albino musk- rats would have pink eyes, they say.
The taking of three white musk- rats from a single house recently on Chummy Plummer’s ranch on the Overflowing River, south of here, is further proof that the snow pelts came from the same breed or family, say the protagonists of the theory. Two other white muskrats were tak- en in the same cropping.
Mr. Plummer brought two of the pelts here for mounting in lifelike poses. .No one seems to know for sure what color their eyes were— and there the debate stands.

One of the more recent such stamps shows a railway in the Bel- gian Congo, featured on a new stamp from that country for the 50th an- niversary of the railroad there. One of the most detailed railway loco- motive stamp sets is that of Egypt of 1933, issued for the international railway congress held there that year, the stamps showing locomo- tives of early years and current types.

United States issued its first rail- way pictorial stamp in 1869 on the three cents value of that issue, on the 1901 Pan-American Exposition issue, on the 1944 railroad commem- orative issue, and on the 1912 parcel- post five cents value.
Among European countries there have beeri numerous railway pictorial stamps, most for commemorative purposes. Belgium issued numerous parcel post stamps showing locomo- tives and railway workers since 1916, modern engines being shown on_.is- sues of 1934 and 1935, railway work- ers on issués of 1942 and 1945. Bul- garia’s King Boris liked to drive rail- way engines, and a set in 1939 shows various trains and the king in a loco- motive cab. France issued a set to modern locomotives in 1937, and Ger- many issued a set to 100 years of its railways in 1935, showing old and modern engines. Holland marked 100 years of its railways with a set in 1939,
These are but a few of the stamps issued showing railways. Building a collection of such stamps is an inter- esting sidelight to stamp collecting.

DINING-ROOMS DOOMED?
I am beginning to wonder if the family dining room is doomed to oblivion in much the same fashion that the once famous parlor ceased to exist.
Most of the newer dwellings have dinettes or breakfast nooks that meet all dining needs. I, too, find that a busy schedule persuades our family to eat in the kitchen when only a few steps need to be taken in getting a meal and serving it. How- ever, I truly derive much satisfaction from an evening meal served in the dining room and, of course, Sunday dinner is not a meal for the kitchen.
There is something alluring about a well appointed table, a clean cloth, the silver and the shining dishes, with the stimulating family conver- sation that such a meal induces. I have been wondering if juvenile de- linquency isn’t due in part to our

Comfort Temperatures
There is no such thing as the “‘per- fect temperature” for absolute com- fort, points out the Canadian Insti- tute of Plumbing and Heating.
The proper temperature for the maximum ount of comfort, varies with the season, the amount of mois- ture in the air, the extent of air movement, and with different indi- viduals,
With moderate humidity and slight air motion, however, comfort lines can be set up for summer and for winter which will satisfy more than 90 per cent. of individuals. A few will feel “too hot” while another small number of individuals will feel “too cold”, These persons should correct the difference with proper variations in clothing.
Allowing for the types of activities involved, the foHowing temperatures are usually specified for winter con- ditions:
seeeee 10-72 degrees F. Gymnasia ...-.. ow, 55-65 ” ad Assembly rooms ... 68-72 4 ” s+eee 65-70 ” ” Kitchens ...... coos 66 ef e Hospital wards ..., 68 ” id Operating rooms ... 70-95 " ” Theatres ..+++++0+ 68-72 ad " Homes ..csreecess 10-72 sed ”
The summer comfort line is based on figures usually six degrees PF, higher than those which apply in winter,

Prices In Spain "Staggering"
TORONTO. — A Spanish omlette would cost a small fortune in Spain, Mario Carles, a Spaniard who recent- ly arrived here from Barcelona, said.
Carles arrived in Canada by plane with his wife and three boys. He said a Spanish omlette, a popular Canadian luncheon dish, “would really run into money” with eggs at times as high as $8 a dozen in Spain. He said bread at certain seasons of the year jumps to $5 a loaf.
“The prices in Spain are stagger- ing the average working men whose wages for a 48-hour week seldom ex- ceed $24,” Carles said.

Say Canadians Do Not Care What They Eat
CALGARY, — Canada’s home eco-
|nomists are on record, unofficially, as
feeling Canadians don’t care much where or what they eat.
Still enveloped in the oonvention spirit prevailing since the four-day fifth biennial convention of the Can- adian Home Economics Association began, the 200 delegates sped home- wards. ;
But they had indicated off the re- cord that Canada has no national dish, although with the best raw ma- terials in the world she may soon; Canadians don’t demand original food; Canadians sometimes don’t care whether the food they eat is sanf-
too
“Outside of Quebec’s pea soup,”
said a delegate, “we haven’t any na- tional dish.” _ “And Western Canada appears far less discriminatory in good food than the East,” commented a confirmed Westerner sadly.
But she hastened to add Alberta had the best beef in the world—the piece de resistance at the closing banquet—even if it sometimes lack- ed trimming. ;
It was the concensus easterners, especially in Montreal but becoming better educated gastronomically in Toronto too, were prone to demand and appreciate tasty, original dishes, Hence the “excellent” facilities in Montreal, said an Easterner.
A bad food sense could be improv- ed in time, it was felt. |
“But they'll drink from dipped glasses and eat from dirty plates without complaining,” said a despair- ing dietitian.

photos,
By PAUL A. SHINKMAN Central Press Canadian THE HAGUE, Holland. — Wooden shoes, windmills, tulips and canals have been the mainstay of Holland’s international relations long enough. Now they are going to have to move over and make room for more realistic, if less picturesque, interna- tional ties based upon political, eco- nomic and industrial considerations
That is the general opinion ex- pressed to this Central Press corres- pondent by such active young figures in the Dutch government as J. van den Beujel, foreign office experts on the Marshall Plan; Max Weisglas, of the ministry of economic affairs, and H. G. Hermans, pplitical aide to Prime Minister Louis J. M. Beel.
The Dutch government has no de- sire to abandon as lost its great tourist industry which was shattered by the war. A quick look at the country reveals that the canals, the dikes, the Zuyder Zee, and the na- tional customs and dress are as pic- turesgue as ever,
“However, there is a new side to the picture,” says Weisglas. ‘The 105 million dollars which were trans- ferred in loans and grants to the Netherlands under the Marshall Plan during the second quarter of this year prevented the downfall of the national economy. These funds are not being used to make high life, or even to feed our poeple. Nobody is starving.”
“The money,” Weisglas, explained, “is being used to reconstruct our in- dustry so that increased production can bring greater dollar imports— our greatest need.
“In other words, we are putting the Marshall Plan aid to work as an investment in our economic and in- dustrial rehabilitation.”
Industrial Europe is nationaliza- tion-conscious these days, largely be- cause of Britain’s experiments under the Labor government. However, according to this spokesman, the Dutch are not nationalization-mind- ed.
He points out thai-five of the coun- try’s eight coal mines are national- ized and the remaining three are controlled by the government, but that the steel industry is not nation- alized and that of the two or three minor strikes since the war — not- ably in the machine industry—one was arbitrated by the government and the others were settled by the operators and workers themselves.
To the foreign observer, the Dutch man-in-the-street has this summer given.perhaps the most curious dem- onstration of steadiness of political nerves that the world has seen since the war. ~Within the short space of 10 days recently, Holland saw the following march of events:
1—The nation marched to the polls for its general election (every four years).
2—A slight shift in popular senti- ment, mostly to the right, threw upon prime minister, at the cesigna- tion of the queen, the responsibility of forming a new cabinet.
8—The foreign ministers of the five western Europe nations compris- ing the Western Union, met in The Hagué for a weighty conference on Berlin and, indirectly, Soviet Russia.
4—Crown Princess Juliana took her first big step as regent for -her

aging mother, prior to her own cor- onation, when she summoned Prime Minister Beel to form the new cabi- net.
In virtually every democratic na- tion in the world today, any one of these important national develop- ments would have found the press and radio. blaring bulletins and “flashes” to the people, and many of the people themselves gathe in front of the palace and ministries to “see, the show”.
However, in the Dutch capital, the big news has been treated with only casual interest, and the .Dutchman and his wife have gone about their business without interruption — ex- cept for the half dozen breaks dur- ing the day for the indispensable cup of coffee.
The prime minister’s aide, H. G. Hermans — himself a journalist who has been invited to spend a year on the faculty of an American univer- sity—smiled when I commented upon what seemed to be phlegmatic Dutch

temperament. He answered:
“You might almost think our people were not interested in their national affairs,’ Hermans said, “if I didn’t tell you that our recent elec- tion, as usual, brought ou some 95 pér cent. of the voters.
“Our people go about their politi- cal life with deep interest but also with a philosophical calm which is lacking in much of the rest of the world. That is why we like to feel that the Netherlands is one of the most stable spots in the world today.
"It might interest you to know that hardly a taxi driver in The Hague knows that our cabinet meets in this very building. The people have confidence in the government they have chosen, and so they get on with their own jobs as their share in the great task of living up to our country’s new world responsibdilities.”
Holland’s_ responsibility to the world—on the picturesque side—will continue to include keeping the

Seaweed Industry Feasible At
West Coast VANCOUVER—The B.C. Research Council believes a. “small-scale” kelp ‘extraction and processing industry Could be set up in this province, In a progress report issued recent- ly on research work which started
in 1944, the council said that a suffi- cient number of kelp seaweed de- posits are commercially available in Mainland coastal waters to justify the establishment of an “algin ex- traction” industry here.
Officials would not say what the words “small scale industry” meant |
in dollars and cents.
“But,” they say, “it certainly | wouldn't be a million dollar indus- try.” *
Algin, an extraction of: kelp, is used to make ice cream, whipped cream, and bakery products more soft and elastic. %
The research council found that}
the kelp found in coastal waters along the B.C, Mainland is of a high- er quality than that found along the American west coastline. =
At present, alginic acid, the kelp extract, is selling at approximately $1 a pound.

Building Houses In Turkey Is A Furious Dusk To Dawn Scramble

Turks have their own magic to solve housing shortages, a built-in loop-hole
in the building code.
The code says any man can build a house—if he has a building permit. The trouble comes in getting the per- mit. Officials in Turkey are particn- larly stingy because building mater- ials, although unrationed, are needed for essential public projects.
So, if a Turk decides to material- ize his post-war ivy cottage dream without the essential permit, unsym- pathetic police are likely to tear it down,
The gimmick in the -building code says that if the Turk manages to get a roof over his house before the police catch up then he is inside the
law. What’s more, the police not only have to leave the house in peace, but also give the builder a
permit to finish it.
Consequently there’s a brand-new boom in black market housing.
It works this way:
A contractor finds a man who has been camping on the doorstep of the housing authority begging a permit. He offers to furnish the house-needy

“KITTY” GETS $15 YEARLY FROM CIVIC PAYROLL
CORAL GABLES, Fla.—This city pays an old cat, named Kitty, $15 a year.
Kityy showed up at the city equip- ment yard eight years ago, main- tenance superintendent Truman Smith explains, when rats and mice were about to take over the garage.
Kitty set about ridding the place of vermin in exchange for milk and a place to raise a family.
She has had a yearly “appropria- tion” ever since. It's listed under the vague heading of “shop over- head”. But don't let that fool you— it’s milk for Kitty.
Smith estimates that Kitty has mothered about 20 broods of kittens since she has been around.

PER means of cooling milk ‘are essential to the production of a first class product. It is desirable that milk be cooled quickly for bést results, then kept cool until ship- ment. The health inspection services of most cities ask for the storage of 2% to 3 tons of ice per cow where ordinary methods of milk cooling are used, It should be of particular in- terest to dairy farmers, therefore, that with a properly insulated cool- ing tank a little more than a ton of fice is sufficient to cool 33 Tbs. of milk per day during the six wirm months of the year, all the cooling to be done with the ice. This takes care of 6,000 lbs. of milk during the six months mentioned, which is consider- ably more than the average dairy cow will give during this period of time. 3
It would seem logical to ask, therefore, why put up 2% tons of ice per cow when 1% tons will do? In an ordinary concrete tank about half of the ice put into it is wasted cool- ing the soil and air around the tank. If a tank is properly insulated, how- ever, this loss is reduced to a com- paratively small amount,
Freshly drawn milk has a temper- ature of about 98 degrees Fahrenheit, and for best results it should be cooled to 50 degrees, or less, within two hours after milking. To extract the heat from a given quantity of warm milk it requires a definite amount of refrigeration, or stored cold, to absorb the heat, This refrig- eration is supplied either by melting ice or by a refrigeration machine, usually driven by electricity. Recent atudies of this problem have shown that to cool 100 Ibs. of milk to a temperature of 48 degrees in two hours takes 1.2 kilowatt hours of electricity or 40 Ibs. of ice. Insulat- ed tanks, of course, are essential not only for economical cooling but also to secure the degree of cooling nec- essary for a first-class product.
The size of the tank needed will depend on the number of 8-gallon cans to be cooled at one time, plus the necessary cooling water and ice. To obtain the necessary capacity of refrigeration storage in the form of foe water there should be three times as much water in the tank as there is milk in the cans.
The tank should not be deeper than necessary to permit the cover
Tank for Cooling Milk
to close over the tops of standard cans, as excessive depths only add to the labor of lifting the cans out, and the depth of water need not be greater than s@fficient to reach the necks of the cans, The accompany- ing table gives the dimensions of several convenient sizes of tanks for different sizes of dairy units. It should be noted that a standard in- side width of 3 ft. and a depth of 27 ins. is used in all sizes, the variation being in the length only.
The important thing in the con- struction of an insulated tank of this kind is, of course, the insulating ma- terial. A great deal of research work has gone into the development of the best forms of prepared insu- lation for this kind of milk-cooling tank. Not less than 3 inches of the material is advisable, and it should be made up either of compressed cork sheeting such as is used in the construction of refrigerators, or of any of the wood pulp insulating boards now on the market. Several firms interested in the insulating ma- terial trade are preparing hermeti- cally sealed sheets or cakes of this insulating material in shapes and sizes which fit the standard tanks with a minimum of cutting. It should be remembered that it is extremely important that these insulating pack- ages remain permanetly dry, because any insulating material loses consid- erable of its insulating value when it becomes impregnated with mois- ture.
In building one of these insulated tanks the best procedure is to lay the floor of the tank first, placing in position the drain pipe together with the fittings for the overflow pipe. When this is completed the insulat- ing material is put in position both on the floor and in the side walls, then outside and inside forms for the walls of the tank are put in place and both walls poured at the same time.
As the concrete walls approach completion, anchor bolts for the wooden frame around the top of the tank and for the angle iron corner protectors for the front of the tank are placed in the concrete while it is still soft. The cover for the tank is made of a wooden. frame filled with insulating material and the under side;of it at least should be covered with galvanized iron to keep the in- sulating material dry.

Manitoba Bull Won High Honors At Argentine Show
BRANDON, Man.—Facing some of the keenest competition the livestock world can produce, Otto Leader, a polled Hereford bull bred by Sheriff Malcolm M. McGregor, of Brandon, placed first in its class and won a re- serve championship at the Great Palermo cattle show in the Argen- tine,
The bull was bred at the Sheriff's farm in Brandon and sold at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto last year for $5,000 to Pereyra Iraola, of Buenos Aires, one of the largest breeders of Hereford cattle in the Argentine. It was flown to the South American ranch last January.
At the Palermo show as many as 150 bulls are shown in one class and they represent the finest breeding stock in the world, making the local win an outstanding achievement for the Manitoba pure-bred cattle’ indus- try.
Adding to the achievement was the fact that the bull was the first polled Hereford to be taken into the Argen- tine and it won in competition with horned entries.
Sheriff McGregor, one of the most enthusiastic promoters of the polled Hereford breed in Manitoba, was in- formed of the win cable. “I have always maintained that the breeding quality and individuality of the Here- ford cattle right here in Manitoba is as good as you'll find any place in the world,’”’ he stated.
The Iraola family was the first to import Hereford cattle into the Arg- entine in 1862 ve have built up a tremendous he years. During his visit to the Royal Show last year Pereyra Iraola also bought a half sister of Otto Leader, and it was flown to the Argentine in the same plane,
Sheriff McGregor previously ex- ported a polled Hereford bull to Aus- tralia and has received very favor- able reports of its progress as well.

KITCHEN MEDITATIONS
By JANE DALE
From a little window at the bend of the stair
I see a part of the world out there;
Some twinkling stars and a neigh- bor’s light,
Some shining water when the moon is bright.
Some tall dark trees against the sky,
And miles of fields with harvest high.
I gaze out there when I go to bed.
It gives me a vision and fills my head
With broader views than my petty cares,
And gives me hope as I climb the stairs.
It shows me life will never be
Just four small walls if I can see
The broader way: the higher light
With one step closer every night.

TOPICS CANADA of VITAL INTEREST
The latest generation of Canadians know little or nothing of that once- dreaded disease, smallpox. There have been very few cases in recent years, and it is doubtful if many of the nation’s physicians have actually seen an active case of what once was &@ scourge.
The reason for the disappearance of smallpox, of course, is vaccination —& proven immunizing process dis- covered and perfected by England's Dr. Edward Jenner in 1796.
However, while smallpox is now an almost forgotten disease, care should be taken that it does not break out
again. In a “National Immunization Week” message to the nation the
Health League of Canada states this once dread scourge can again be- come a menace if vaccination is neglected. Vaccination and re-vac- cination procedures should be main- tained because there is no natural immunity to smallpox.
Anyone who has not been vaccin- ated can contract the disease—vac- cination is the only protection.

OUR COMPLETE SHORT STORY—
THIS IS LOVE
By ANNA
WALLOWS, Andy said, reminded him of some humans, the way they built their nests of mud and hair and straw, high up in the caves, trusting that the rain wouldn’t wash them away or the wind blow through the rafters and send their pretty nestlings tumbling down tw the barn- yard floor among the ruins of the in- secure home their careless parents had provided. And yet, Andy reminded himself, watching the birds dip and circle and dart about, some swallows must have
built well, else there would be no
swallows. He sighed, thinking of Chris and Cluny.
Cluny was tall, broad-shouldered, his face weathered and brown, and a kind, if slightly baffled smile, He had built his home up there on the cliff, storm proof and wind proof, and then he had married Chris and taken her to live in it. It was Chris who reminded Andy of the swallows —there was something homey about her, and trusting, too trusting. Chris skimmed through life just as the swallows skimmed the earth, never quite touching it, never quite a solid, human part of it.
“But Chris,” he could hear Clu explain patiently, “I know you love to look pretty and that ruffled dress makes you look like a five-year-old in her first pinafore, but we can’t afford it.”
But Chris hadn’t heard him, ‘Look at the way the skirt flares out Cluny.”
“Chris, honey,” Cluny’s voice was roughened with love and worry. “It isn’t the beauty I see on the outside for which I love you. Looking at you in your ruffled dress is some- thing I share with everyone—like a
pretty picture. But,” Cluny frowned, |
trying to explain himself, “honesty and self-sacrifice and loyalty to one other person—that’s something with- in yourself and it doesn’t depend on fine clothes or cost money. Oh, Chris.” the boy’s voice was husky, “I love you in those old overalls you wear when you are weeding.”
Chris was already turning up the hem of the ruffled dress and paying no attention to Cluny, so he went out to the clover patch and sat down to think it all over. He and Chris were just getting started. He couldn't af- ford new dresses and all the pretty things that had been a part of Chris’ life-when she worked for Mr. Macal- royd and lived with her father, He couldn’t make Chris see it his way and he feared now that Chris’ home might come tumbling down about her like the mud nests of the swallows.
But in spite of his discouragement, Cluny loved Chris so that his voice had a boyish tremor as he tried to explain things again the day she bought the ruffied curtains.
“They’re pretty, Cluny,” she dis-
—played them proudly, “and Mr. Dun- lop was in for the milk this morning and said it was all so nice that if you decided to move into town any- time, he’d rent it,’ and then her voice was small with disappointment, “Cluny, don’t you like it?”
“They’re pretty, Chris, and no one could keep the house prettier and cleaner than you but the old cur- tains were good yet and I was sav- ing the money from the’ calvés to pay the taxes. I know,” he said gently, noting her incomprehension, “that you can see the curtains, Chris, and the taxes are just something you hear about. But Chris, darling, if you could only get the real values of things straightened out in your head —the surface things that are just for today, like the curtains, and the real deep things, like a home that’s all our own—and a—a family.
‘Things we've earned by our own planning and working. Oh, I know, Chris, that you couldn’t do a mean
* or ungentle thing, but that makes it
all the harder.”
‘It'll take something more than just talking, Cluny,” Jim, Chris’ brother, had been lounging on the veranda, “Chris just doesn’t under- stand that anything terrible could happen to her, Chris isn’t a great spender but she can’t realize that you love her for what she is and not just for looking pretty.”
Cluny’s, young face was tense and lined with worry. “If we lose the money for the fall wheat we won't be able to make our paymnets and

may be forced to give up the farm and Chris’ loves it.”
“I can’t help out with the pay- ments or with the taxes, Cluny, and if I could it wouldn’t matter for there would be something else tomor- row. It'll have to be something that cut deep into life that will reach Chris and make her see things your way.”
And then Chris bought the porch swing and.Cluny flung out of the house crying out at last in bitterness and frustration, “I love you, Chris, but you'll ruin us with your sense- less extravagance,”
Cluny had known for a long time that the old hayloader wasn’t safe but he loaded it recklessly until it jammed and then climbed up to ex- amine the machinery. Jim found him on the barnyard floor where he had been thrown by the sudden crashing of the loader. He carried him in to Chris, Then raced his old car into town for the doctor.
The doctor was blunt. “A com- pound fracture of the hip. He'll have to spend a year in the hospital. I’m sorry, Jim, but I can see no other way in which he can be cured with- out crippling. It'll cost a lost. Can Cluny afford it?”
“Cluny will go to the hospital,” Chris cried wildly, seeing Cluny’'s fine strong body crippled and bent. “Won't he, Jim?”
Jim explained gently about the money for the calves that had gone into curtains, the money for the wheat that had bought the porch swing and other luxuries. “And, he finished, “Cluny doésn’t own the farm so he can’t mortgage it. He's still making payments.”
Chris didn’t cry for all she looked so soft. There was a vein of iron in her. She went out quietly and looked at the pretty dresses in her cupboard, the fine curtains on the windows and at the new porch swing, and then she went in to Cluny and sat beside him, holding fast to his hand.
“Cluny,” she told Dr. Meyers steadily, ‘‘is going to the hospital for a year. He’s going to have massage and X-rays and everything else he needs. Mr. Dunlop likes this house and he’ll pay a good rent for it. I can get my old job back with Mr. Macalroyd. It pays well. The rent and what I earn will keep Cluny in the hospital.” Suddenly she clung close to Climy. “Cluny,” she cried brokenly, “I’ve been like one of those swallows, building a nest carelessly and when the wind blew, it came tumbling down on me; but the swal- lows don’t give up just because they’ve failed once, they build again.” She slipped .to her knees, sobbing wildly, her arms tight about Cluny, his tight about her. “Cluny, Cluny, |marriage isn’t just skimming life. It’s welded in pain and terror and mjsery. Oh, Cluny, Cluny—this is
love!” (Copyright Wheeler Newspaper Syndicate)

Memorial Gates Dedicated At Conor South, Saskatchewan Inigalon
An event of lasting importance to people of Consort, Alta., and district was the recent opening and dedication of the Memorial Gateway at Lake Road Cemetery, at which a large crowd from the surrounding country attended. The picture above gives one an idea of the size and shape of the gateway, but it does not do justice to its fine workmanship and artistic beauty. The plaque, can be seen—one on the right hand pillar and one on the left. The plaque on the right side reads: “Erected to the memory of the men of Consort and district who gave their lives for freedom, 1939-
1945”,
The Dedication
“We are met before a beautiful memorial, built of stone on a solid foundation, lasting we pray, as the memory of the names they bear. We are come to dedicate that memorial to the memory of those gallant. sons of Consort who gave their lives that we might live, We, therefore, dedi- cate this Gateway to the Glory of God in memory of those who died on the Field of Honour, and in honour of those who served and came back to us. May the memory of their magnificent services be kept green and may the cause of freedom in which they fought be upheld in our hearts and minds and in those of succeeding generations,
In days to come let this Gateway be both a memorial and a symbol; a Symbol of the days of Freedom which shall arise out of the sacrificial efforts of those whose giving of themselves we commemorate today, Of those who made the supreme sacrifice we say: 5
“They are not dead, they shall not die while still Affection lives and memory fulfills Its tasks of gratitude.
Not theirs alone
The sculptured monument, the graven stone The commonwealth of freedom that shall rise Worldwide shall tell their noble sacrifice.”
Canadians Again Warned To
Go Easy On Coal,
Fuel Oil
OTTAWA.—A government autho- ity said Trade Minister Howe shortly will issue an official warning that Canadians must go easy on coal and fuel oil supplies this Winter.
The spokesman said that although Canada’s fuel picture looked brighter this year than a year ago, storage difficulties still persisted.
The Dominion, he said, still was unable to transport sufficient fuel oil and coal from United States points in the short navigation season to cover the entire Winter season.
Steeper prices also appeared to be in store for Canadian consumers, the spokesman said. Anthracite coal
Seek To. Rid Lignite Coal Of Water Content
SASKATOON, — Experiments con- ducted at the University of Saskat- chewan are seeking to rid lignite coal of its 30 per cent. water con- tent.
Dr. W. Graham, assistant profes- sor in chemical engineering, is con- ducting the experiments in view of the fact Saskatchewan's .coal fields at Estevan in the southern half of the province produce only lignite.
In transportation excess weight of the water adds to cost. Drying by hot air causes coal to crumble.

likely will climb $1.50 to $1.75 a ton. He would not give an estimate of what the fuel-oil increase might be.
“That is up to the industry”, he said, “There is a marked improve- ment in the oil situation, both for heating purposes and for gasoline, but you must remember that the in- dustry is paying out more money for wages this year and for higher pro- duction costs,”
However, the fuel authority believ- ed the fuel oil increase will be mod- erate,
The official gave these reasons for the profitable increase in the price of coal:
1, Two freight-rate increases an- nounced by the railways this year, one granted by the Board of Trans- port Commissioners last spring and other announced by the railways re- cently to cover competitive ‘ areas only.
2. Coal miners’ demands for high- er wages.
3. Union trouble earlier this year in the Alberta mining fields.
But there was a bright side to the fuel picture. The official said that production increases in the Mari- times have been noted and that the eastern provinces will benefit b greater delivery to the central prov- inces. A slight increase also is noted in the Alberta area,
These increases, said the official, coupled with uninterrupted deliveries from the Pennsylvania fields will make for warmer homes in Canada this Winter.

SAYS WOMEN BETTER AT JUDGING HORSES
TORONTO.—Take it from pretty Joan Pickard of Winnipeg, women are better than men at judging horses,
“Since more girls than boys take riding lessons, it seems logical they should be more competent to judge the classes in which junior riders compete,” said Miss Pickard, here to represent Manitoba in a junior horse judging competition,

Project Proving
Successful
(By Ken Liddell, in SWIFT CURRENT.—The Swift trying out its first suit of long pants.
Regina Leader-Post) ; Current-Herbert irrigation project is Farmers who live along the 40-mile
ditch are beginning to find that as the growing pains wear off they have quite a husky baby on their doorstep. Apart from irrigation on hay flats at Rush Lake, last year saw first use of water on private farms at Herbert, extreme eastern end of the project, and this year there was gratifying {n-
crease in acreage under the ditch and
also in interest among farmers.
This situation was gratifying be-g————
cause while governments can put the scheme in operation they can’t make people use it, To use an expression, it is difficult to teach old dogs new tricks, but oldtimers along the line are at least willing to sit up and take notice.
As Neil Jahnke, Herbert farmer and rancher since 1904 who was this year interested in 45 irrigated acres of flax, said “we put the water on a little too late this year, but when we did put it on, boy, she sure come up. There are a few ragged edges to the whole thing, but it is chiefly a mat- ter of getting the older farmers in- terested.” rs
And the interest is growing at Herbert where last year’s 400 irri- gated acres of barley, oats, flax, this year jumped to 600 acres.
But a great deal of promotion that ee EE. Ea Se oe
MAN, 90, “PITCHES” CROP OF 85 ACRES—‘“Best crop in over 40 years” was the reaction of Hmman- ual Dobson, 90-year-old resident of the Honeywood district, near Shel- burne, Ont., after he had “pitched on” the entire crop from 35 acres with nephew Clarence Cowling. Mr. Dobson, in perfect health, does chores every day.—S.N.S. photo.
CANADIAN BACON POPULAR IN U.K.
Canadian bacon is well liked in the United Kingdom states the Dominion Department of Agriculture.
R. Logan Layton, of the Départ- ment who is stationed in London to report on the quality of Canadian meat arriving in the United King- dom, recently paid a visit to Man- chester. This city is the distributing centre of foodstuffs for that densely populated part of England renowned the world over for its cotton spin- ning and weaving industries, and for its engineering, machinery and chem- ical factories.
Mr. Logan talked with butchers and meat dealers, wholesalers and retailers, and as a result of his en- quiries reports that Canadian bacon is most popular. He states that rep- resentatives of the bacon’trade drew his attention to the fact that retail- ers are more enthusiastic over Can- adian bacon than ever before.
is now going on will probably have & payoff next year, Interest in small irrigated plots is particularly evident around Waldeck and Rush Lake. The Rural Municipality of Excelsior at Rush Lake this year offered 15 lots of nine to 15 acres, most
for $800 each, and D, Campbell, seo- retary-treasurer, reported that seven lots had been sold with inquiries about two others.
Building Restrictions
Mr. Campbell reported the council was pleased with this reception be- cause it had been anticipated that the building restrictions would be a drawback to quick sales,
The lots are selling for $290 cash, balance in 10 years when title will be given, but the purchaser must agree to erect a $2,400 dwelling in five years and a windbreak of 300 trees,
Mr. Campbell said the restrictions were a bit stiff but as the surveyed area would eventually become a vir- tual village adjacent to Rush Lake they were considered necessary to prevent speculation.
In addition, at Rush Lake, about 1,500 acres has been surveyed into irrigable parcels of 40 acres each. These will be offered to dry-land farmers for growing feed, Preference will be given to veterans, then to farmers within the Rural Municipal- ity of Excelsior, then to farmers out- side the municipality. ‘
Interest In Feed
Mr. Campbell said that interest in his municipality centred chiefly around larger irrigated plots for feed crops. As it grows, he said, the whole scheme will mean that the general economy of the municipality will be more assured as in dry years farmers will be “on their own” so far as stock is concerned,
At Waldeck, however, between Rush Lake and Swift Current and about 10 miles east of the latter point, the interest takes another trend. Probably because Waldeck ig closer to a larger centre, the interest is in both field crops and garden pro- duce,
And what was done with garden produce this year is a pretty fair in- dication of what can be accomplish- ed on a larger scale in the future.

“When Planning Your Home
Miss Caroline Judson, Hiome De- signing Specialist, Alberta Depart- ment of Agriculture suggests that when planning to build or remodel your farm home, you investigate the possibilities of a “Jack-of-all- trades” or utility room.
The advantages of such a room are almost endless. It provides. a natural solution to the problem of where to preserve fruits and veget- ables and deep freeze winter supplies It is an ideal place for a sewing centre, where after the clothes have been washed and ironed they can be

hung ready to be mended or have buttons sewn on. Tt can be used as laundry and ironing room and save those needed steps up and down stairs or for summer outdoor drying, It can include special storage space for baskets of fruits and vegetabes, without cluttering up the kitchen in the canning season These are just a few of the uses that can be made of this “Jack-of-all-Trades” room.
If you would like information about the design and uses of a util- ity room, or are looking for ideas on home planning and remodelling, address your enquiries to Miss Caro- line Judson, Home Designing Spec- falist, Alberta Department of Agri- culture, Edmonton.

Compete For Provincial Semi-Finals
The Provincial semi finals in the Junior judging competitions were held on Thursday last at the Olds Sxhool of Agriculture with 8 grain clubs, 7 beef clubs and 4 dairy clubs competing for the right to represent the southern half of the province in the“finals held in Ed- monion on Friday.
George Black, supervisor of jun- ior club work for tthe provincial department of agriculture, super- vised the competitions.
The 8 grain teams judged samples of wheat, oats, barley, timothy and clover. The Rockyford club com- prised of Melvin Heinzlmer and James Miller emerged the winners with a score of 793 points.
They in company with the win- ners in the other ‘o ‘classes won the right to go to Edmonton where they met Holden in the provincial finals.
The Vauxhall club of Milton Wad- dell and Bob Poynton were second.
Other clubs competing were: -:
Acme (Murray Brown and Wil- fred Boise;) Granum (Joe Donahue and Wallace Daley); Bow Island (Edward Torscher and Gordon Blanchard); High River (Charles and Jonn, Rhodes), Crossfield (Eddie Aldred and John Copley) and Ray- mond ‘(Kenneth Milner and Rulon Litchfield).
The Didsbury team of Jim Clark and Patricia Gibbs were the winners of the Dairy competition and met the team from Riley in Edmonton in the finals. The dairy teams were required to judge three classes. The} fits. Was a class of four Jersey. cows at the T. H. Noad, Oldsview Jersey Farm, one mile north of town; the second was a class of four Holsteins at the O, S. A. and the third class wes a group of three, two-year-old Holsteins at tne O. 'S.

The brother and _ sister team of Gloria and Jimmy Hobbs of Han- na scored 719 points to take first place in the beef judging competi- tion and the right to meet Rosalind in the finals.
Yhe Carstairs club of Harold Schielke and Irene Bell were second with 716 points, Irene substituted for her brother who was injured in a threshing accident. Harold was the top individual scorer im the ev- ent and had TIrene’s brother been on hand it is likely that the Carstairs team would have copped the beef judging event. Despite her thandicap of coming in at the last moment Irene put up a very rapable showing.
Other clubs competing were: |
Pincher Creek (Gerald Hobston and David Simpson); Raymond (Eugene Dah] and Lyle Murray); Claresholm (Jim and Joan Mouser) Livingston (Walter Shadlock and Muriel Ady) and Okotoks Bill and Jack Snodgrass). :

OUR PIONEER LADY
Framed in the partly apen door, She shades her eyes with lifted
hand, And stands to gaze where distance blurs The groves and fields of prairie parkland. The dazzling sunlight if thé spring Sets dew-diamonds sparkling rad- iant warning, And, under trees, where dark shades cling A robin sings a salute to morning. Past the black fallow, and the pas- ture slough, Her blue eves seek a distan' ridge, And, where the pioneer trail went
through, She journeys far on memory”s bridge. Where small white clouds drift far and low
Along the slopes that cattle roam, She sees Covered Wagons, moving slow, ras Toward a new land and new homes. A wisp of smoke, beside a grove, Marks where a where a settiler’s log house stood, And the dark shade, part down the hill
Shows where he found the plowing good. ; Her memory takes her to the way The ’seekers trail wound to coulee depths, And climbed again to grove-topped ridge,
Where rich and had for ages slept. Now, in the Spring, the plowed lands lie, Green-pencil marked by spears of
grain, Where once rank prairie-grass waved high Round slough and grove across the pain, : Then, trails, unfenced, ran past log cabins, - ’ And sod-roofed sheds, that marked the farms, ‘ And only in the pioneer’s dreams, Were tall, white houses and red barns. —W.H.

Testing Farm Seed Stocks (An Outstanding Seed Testing Service)
The planting of good seed is the most important single practice in the production of successful ge crops. Consequently it “will a sound investment for any farmer in Western Canada to have the seed he intends to plant in 1949 tested for germination, freedom from smut, freedom from weed seeds, and for purity as to variety. The use of
any seed but the best is a gamble. Take one of the risks out of your 1949 farming operations by having your seed tested for these important ‘good seed” factors,
Seed Testing Laboratory. To provide western farmers with com- plete and reliable information as to the quality and value of their own erain for seeding purposes, the Line levator Companies, sponsors of the Farm Service Department, operate, at no small eost to themselves, a cereal seed testing laboratory which for elficieney and dependability is unsurpassed in Canada. We invite farmers to make the maximum use of it. ;
Seed Tests Available. ‘This year, Line Elevators Farm Service will again undertake to make the follow- ing tests, free of charge, on farmers’ seed samples of wheat, oats, barley, rye and flax: (1) Germination. (2) Smut and other. seed-borne diseases. (3) Weed seed content. (4) Purity of variety. (5) Mechani- cal seed injury. ¢.
Seed Samples. Farmers are invited to deliver seed orig for testing to their nearest Line Elevator Agent, as soon as possible, and to instruct him as to which tests are required. The samples must con- sist of at least 4 ounces and not more than 6 ounces of clean seed. We urge farmers to be sure and submit samples which are truly representative of the lot of seed to be tested.® Country grain buyers will provide clean seed envelopes, and will forward the samples to Line Elevators Farm Service, Winnipeg.
