THURSTON, I . • Editor Aflsoc Editor EDITORIAL ITEMS Bernard Shaw may talk too much: but it cannot be denied that he has learned one truth well: it pays to advertise. • * • Rubber is now cheap enough in Great Britain to warrant dealers in selling odd lots as firewood. It is said to burn well with a plea.-^ant odor, igniting more easily than wood, and leaving no ash behind. Now here we have a u-se for our leaky "goloshes." • * • .With hundreds of tons of rails rust- ing at Various divisional points on the National Railway and of miles of unused rails to be found in other places, a correspondent raises the point of propriety in the government railing authorities giving orders for further supplies. Such "manage- ment" will not help to reduce the big deficits that now have to be met by the taxpayers. • • • Fearful and wonderful are the man- ipulations of the tax laws by the authorities at Ottawa. Here are two pat examples: First the Minister of National Revenue announced a reduc- tion of one-third in the excise tax ..n cigarets and alcoholic drinks. Then, in the new tariff law, a new ta.^: of two cents on sugar was announced. Thus they have reduced the tax o:i luxuries and to more than make up the revenue lost put the heavy tax on a household necessity! • • • The Secretary of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce voices the op- inion of that commercial organiza- tion, in the declaration that govern- ment marketing experiences almost always result in colossal loss. Cer- tainly there was good corroboration ot this view in the result of the United States Farm Board whi;h lo.st to the public §'150,000,000 in respect of wheat alone. The political adventurers in marketing seem to make as many blunders as do the amateur finaneiev- who pile taxes on us all, regardless jf the ability of their victims to pay. • • » A remarkable substance is now l)cing marketed. It is known as C'ardice or dry ice, and i.s actually .4olid carbon dioxide. The remark- able feature of it is that when it "melts" it leaves no moisture what- .'Vcr, merely evaporating into the at- ill. sphere. Dry ice will he of par- ticular value in the transportation of perishable goods such us fish and dairy piodive. Dr. Littler of tht Ifritish Society of Chemical Industry, Kivcs the product his ble.-iviing in the declaration that by using dry ice in- stead of the natural product it will le possible to freeze fish within a tew minutes of their caiitiiie so that when they arc .ierved at the table the flesh will be as fresh and palatabk' us that of a trout just caught from a neighboring stream. But perhaps in this neighborhood the old method of freezing will be adhered to until the producers of the substitute are able to market it at a very low price. • * • To some govern mtnl "plum" hold- ers the collection of a siiuiU percent- age of their salaries to aid in fatten- ing up the tax collections of the Prov- ince really has no alarm. There is, for example, the defeated candidate in the last general election who is drawing a salary of $14,000 a year as the Chairman of the Provincial Com!>ensation Act; the Vice-Chairman of the same organization who draws $9,000 per annum; and the two other members of the Board who are each paid $8,000 a year. The duties of anyone of these men could be per- formed by very many citizens in ord- inary business and industrial life, and if the posts were advertised at sal- aries of less than half the amount provided for them out of the taxes there would be no difficulty what- ever in having the places filled with as great or greater efficiency than now prevails. While the ordinary taxpayer is being harrassed by ever- incrca.sing taxes, what is the excuse for all this favoritism among office- holders ? • • * Isaac Watts writes about ants: "Thuy wear not their time out in sleeping or play . . ." Surely he had no idea of their winter sleci>. Burns writes ("The Banks of the Dee"): "... and sweetly the nishlingale sang from the tree. . . ." His critic, Igo Thompson, points out that a nightingale never sings on a tree, but in a low shrub. The old poet, Thomas Haynes Bayly, wishes himself "to be a butterfly born in a bower . . ." But butterflies are too careful for that; they hide in a crack of a wall. Spring poets are now preparing t( bkssom. They will do well to pro- fit by the mistakes of ths ver.se- makers of the past, who are found to have taken "poetic license" to an ex- tent, in many instances, far from warranted by truth, as has recently been well set forth by a correspond- ent. Drayton (1563-1631) writes: "This maiden in a morn betime Went forth when Hay was in the prime â€" To get the honeysuckle, the harlock, The lily and the Lady Smock." The "Lady Smock" is the Great Convolvulus and blooms only three month.-i later. William Strode (almost forgotten) writes: ". . . places which pale passion loVes Moonlight walks when all the fowls Are warmly housed save bats and owls!" HEV Large Camps Are Barred Generally speaking, the plans ol the non-active permanent militia foi training this summer are that the number of days for about 30,000 men will be each 10 days, Hon. D. M. Sutherland, Minister of National Defence, told the House of Commons on Thursday. In some cases like signallers the period would be 12 days. There wall be no camps in the general sense they were understood some years ago, the minister stated. Similar camps will be used for a few days â€" for week-ends; but there would be no large camps. A large quota from the artillery would get training to keep them up to efficiency. The vote this year for the non-permanent active militia is $1,99-1,000, or an in- crease of §111,000 over last year. The non-permanent force must be kept on an efficient basis and this was the reason for the increase, Mr. Suther- land said.

Open to any subscriber of The Advance Eight Brothers Win Fame In Orchestras It hardly seems fair that genius, so successfully elusive of 99 out of every 100 of the hum-drum, every day people, should lavish her affection upon a whole family at once, and mark the sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Large of Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, for her favor. But just to prove that this ineffable "genius", i-s an utterly irresponsible sort of sprite, it is ack- nowledged she has bestowed the gift of music upon the seven sons of Mr. ami Mrs. Largo. '•The Largo Brothers", as they are !;nown in the east, are the nephews of Mv. and Mrs. Frederick Munshaw, uf Edmonton. Although the boys v>'ere all born in Grey County, Ontar- io, the family moved west in 1911 and resided in Edmonton until 1915. Mr. ami Mrs. Large, themselves, both have musical accomplishments, and two of ilie uncles of the boys, Mr. J. Nevvton Large and Mr. Harold Large, were nationally known as musicians. IHirint' their residence in Edmontoti Mr. and Mrs. Large were members of Kno.x church choir and the boys attended Kno.v Sunday school, and Queen "Alexanilra and Oliver schools. The youngest boy, Douglas, who died whon he was quite young, gave promise of great genius. At the age of six, ho gave a violin recital in Buffalo and there were great hopes for a brilliant future. The other six boys have establish- ed themselves as professional mus- icians and have gained recognition in spite of all opjiosition. Totlay Fred and Cerald Large may be heard in orchestra programs over the most powerful broadcasting systems, N.B.- C, and C.B.C., from Philadelphia, Cleveland, Payton, Cincinnati, Kan- sas City and Chicago. They play in the famous Jan Garber's orchestra, of which Fred Large is the leader. They arg now playing over W.L.W., Cincinnati, from N'etherland Plaza and after Easter they are, booked for an engagement to play at the World's Fair in Chicago. ORGANIZED OWN BAND Before they joined Jan Garber's musicians, Fred and Gerald, with three of their friends, had organized a band. Fred was the conductor and they were known as "Little Freddie Larjre's Band." Gaining popularity in western New York, the orchestra became enlartred to fifteen pieces. Jan Garber heard them play in Cin- cinnati, was immediately interested, and adopt«d them within his company! They have been heard frequently in vaudeville concert. Fred Larf^e play? the saxophone with just that syn- copation and sobbing melody that won fame for the great Guy Lom- bardo's saxophone player, so that in an cast.^rn pre.^s notice it is remarked •A lot of W.G.N, listeners believe that they have been hearing Guy I.ombnrdo betwetn 10.50 and 11:10 p.m. oVer W.G.N. Jan Garber's or- chestra has been mistaken for the Royal Canadians elsewhere too. . ." Kenneth and Ralph have won their laurels in orchestra work and now play daily for television between Mon- treal and New York, leaders of the nine-piece orchestra, known as "Ken Large's Canadians." They first gain- ed recognition at Niagara Falls, play- ing at the Prince of Wales Hotel. Engagements followed at St. Cath- erine's, Toronto, summer resorts of the Muskoka and finally at Montreal where they have played over the La Presse station and at Place Viger and the Maples. The other two 'j-.ys, Jack and Frank, arc the younger members of the fam- ily, and are beginners in their pro- fession but are engaged in orchestra work and are fast gaining the recog- nition accorded their brilliant brother niusicians. WERE NOT ENCOURAGED Depression didn't enter into the "mass career" of the Large brothers at all. In spite of every opposition they were true to the gifts of genius. The parents of the boys, at first, strongly objected to their study of music. They felt that the depend- able living of the good, solid, practical liu.iiness man was safer employment than the more brilliant career of the professional musician, which is, after all, only achieved by those of marked genius. Mr. and Mrs. Large strove to (luell the insistent voice of music whioh would, however, not be silent. They even refused the much demanded music lessons. But the "musical car" was too strong a destiny. Each ot the boys, from earliest years, was able to pick up a tune or a melody and interpret it with ease on any in- -strunrent. Each can "double" on whatever instrument he is given to play, reed, string or brass. What was once the grief of the mother of Fred Large is now her pride. The story is told of how her young son, Fred, would come home from Scnday school in Edmonton and, sitting on the piano stool, with chubby legs dangling high above the pedals and pudgy fingers that couldn't reach the octave, try to play tfie songs he had heard. But the dull piano would refuse to give forth the proper mel- ody, which he tried to pick out on the keys, whereupon Freddie would kick th« stubborn instrument in rage. Such behavior would; of course, call forth parental discipline, but Fred would go right back to try again to play the haunting, tormenting melodies Today Fred Large has composed sev- eral notable songs and the theme song of ,W.L.W. was written by bira. Recently it was heart! that the boys had honored their grandfathei on the occasion of his seventy-second birthday, celebrated on Thursctey, March 2. It was with great pride that he heard their music over the air with special mention made of him and the songs sung specially for him. â€" Edmonton Bulletin. CANADIAN CHEESE EXPORT Reports to the Department from London, England, state that there is little indication of doubt that the prict of Canadian cheese can be fairly held, and that stocks will be out of the way before the new sea-son's make arrives. This statement was based on the fact that at March 1st, approximately 4,000 tons of Canadian cheese was on hand, with further arrivals estim- ated at 300 tons for March, and 200 tons for .A.pril, In 1931 old Canad- ians finished on September 4th at 70s. per cwt. In 1932 old Canadians fin- ished on July 15th, after a rapid up- ward swing in price to 84s. per cwt. In the present year, from January 1st to the beginning of this month the price has continued constant 60s to 6Ss., being just two points undet the corresponding period of last year VICTORIA CORNERS The ladies of the W. M. S. held their annual quilting at the home of Mrs. Chas. Moore on Tuesday. Milton Bannon spent the week in Toronto. Miss Cora Richardson and Mr. Carl Bradley, Toronto, spent the week end at Mr. J. H. Riihardson's. .Mrs. Earl Walton and Miss Elva Wiltshire spent a day at ,Will. Ache- son's. Mr. .Will. Ludlow of Woodstock vis- ited his brother, George. xY. P. S. was held at Walter Nichol's last week. BORN STEWART â€" In Toronto to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stewart, a son.

Statistician claims after a survey thatythe country village and small town are coming into their own again. The number of cattle in Ontario is increasing and that has a direct bear- ing on the fact that there are one- third less trains running than in 1929.
