Gyproc is a fire-resistant wallboard made from gypsum rock. It comes in sheets 4 to 10 feet long, 4 feet wide and % of an inch thick. It nails and cuts just as easily as lumber and with a minimum of waste. It is used for making inside walls, ceilings and partitions. It has structural strength, insulation value, is draught and vermin-proof and costs very little. Gyproc that docs not burn is exactly the material to use for it needs no decoration when panelled yet is an excellent base for Alabastine, Gyptex or wallpaper.

The Coming Census How It Is Taken and Why (Concluded From Last Week) Scope of the Canadian Census Wlhile the primary task of the cen- sus is the enumeration and description ' of every man, woman and child, in Canada; sound business indicates | that when so large an organi- ; zation as this requires, has been cre-j ated, it should be put to every avail- able purpose, and as a result our present day census deals not only with the people themselves, but with their institutions and activities insofar as the latter can be properly included in its scope. The census schedules are six, in num- ber. (1) Population (2) Agriculture (3) > Live Stock, fruit growing, etc., in i urban centres (4) Merchandising and 1 Service Establishments (5) Blindness and Deaf Mutism and (6) Institu- tions, such as penal, mental, neuroti-' cal, child caring, homes for adults, | hospitals, sanatoria, dispensaries, clin- ics( day nurseries, etc. Space forbids the listing of the questions here, as the population schedule alone con- tains some 40 of them, while the ag- ricultural schedule alone contains another 2n4. Special reference might be made, though, to certain questions that will be asked regarding un- employment, and the necessity for ob- 1 taining the fullest information along these lines. These questions have | been drafted, after consultation with Dominion and Provincial Government authorities and leading Labor organi-; zations. The information elicited willj be of first importance in guiding thei Government in its future policies, regarding unemployment, unemploy- ment insurance and labor problems generally. Farm schedules were drawn up in I consultation with Dominion and Pro- 1 vincial departments, leading agricul- tural authorities, and the Internation- : al Institute of Agriculture. They! will elicit a wealth of useful informa- tion on such diversified features otfi ,farm activity as acreages, values, ' buildings, implements, crops, labor,' fertilizers, orchard fruits, gardens, live stock, poultry, animal products, ' forest products, land tenures, irriga- tion, drainage, co-operative marketing! mortgages, etc. The schedule relating to business] and industrial concerns is briefly a recording of the name of the concern, and its address, so that the Bureau may later establish contact with them! with the obiect of assisting in and creating more efficient machinery of distribution, thereby reducing over- 1 head and effecting a savings in ulti- ir.ale cost to consumers. The record of blind and deaf mules is to facilitate the work of education,' and to assist institutions in their care of persons so handicapped. The population of institutions will ho enumerated in the usual way, but a special enquiry will be handled direct from the Bureau with The I heads of institutions, in order that ; facts regarding the characteristics of the inmates, causes of commit- ' nient, and other information will be furnished for a complete analysis of problems incidental to social life, and will act as an indicator to the Pro-! vincial Goverments and other organ- 1 izutii.ns engaged in social and wel- fare work. Conclusion In connection with these elaborate Lightning's Pranks During the electric storm on Sat- urday last a quantity of live stock on the farm of Jacob Russell of the 10th con., Carriok, father of Eugeno Russ- ell, blacksmith, here, fell a victim to the flash. A number of pigs were killed out- right, while others were so serious- ly injured that they have been min- us their sight and hearing since. A dog nearby' got mixed up with the current, also, and no charge o'.' buckshot could have caused this can- ine- to leap higher or yell louder than did this charge of electricity as it flashed through the body of the beast. With the hair sino-ed and hide partially blistered outwardly, for which general condition mustard was given inwardly to counteract the c'ffect of his feel- ings, surely the object might well be termed a real "hot dog" Walkerton Herald and Times. LARGE RAINBOW TROUT CAU|GHT AT BEETON Places for successful Wishing are not very nlentiful and good sized trout are very scarce, but in spite of these drawbacks fishing still re- mains to be one of the most popu- lar pastimes. On the second day of the open reason. Mr. Jas. Jardine, his son Kinnard and Miss House were endeavoring to lure the finny tril>e from the Beaver river at Thorn- bury. Eventually Kinnard got a bite and after an exciting struggle which required assistance, he landed the largest rainbow trout ever brought home to Becton. It measured 21 inches. Beeton World.

Price - - - - / OU and searching series of enquiries, the following points cannot be over-em- phasized (1) that no question has been inserter merely for the gratifi- cation of curiosity or because the information would be interesting, but only because of its bearing on basic social and economic conditions. It woud be extremely unfortunate if the visit of the census-taker in June is re- garded by anyone as a nuisance or the .questions treated, jocularly or considered to be of a trivial and im- pertinent nature. (2) That the answers given by the individual are absolutely confidential; every em- ployee of the census being under oath and penalty against revealing any individual item and the Bureau orf Statistics, itself, is expressly forbid- den to issue any statement that would lay bare any personal matter; in effect its authority is limited to the publication of aggregates. Though the name of each person is taken down, this is not for the purpose of associating the individual with any of the recorded facts, but merely as a check on the accuracy and completeness of the inirormation. The foregoing will have given an outline of what the census is and Why it is carried out. It remains only to say that it has been planned with the utmost care over a period of years and in the light of the ex- perience of other countries and six previoi..-, Canadian censuses. It ha.< special reference to the requirements of the present hour and also to the necessity of not burdening the com- munity with enquiries of an unjust- ified nature. Tho census is taken for the benefit of the country as a whole and there- fore merits the support of each and every citizen as a patriotic duty, notwithstanding the fact that some <f the component features of it may . bo slightly irksome. Never before has there been the like need for census information, following the late- war, the greatest upheaval in history, which left scarcely a feature of rational life unscathed, violently upsetting many of our most stable measurements and generally creat- ing stresses and strains that requfre careful weighing of their bearing on th.< future. Especially is an en-' praisement of ou'r national status necessary at this moment of acute economic depression, and an appeal ' therefore ir.nde to the people of South-East Grey to n.ssist in this great national undertaking by furn- ishing the information fully and ac- curately and thus helping to render the census worthy of the Dominion and of I lie serious purposes which it has in view.
