Editor EDITORIAL NOTES If the views of many politicians are listened to, and short grain crops are reifarded ai< blessings, Canadians will come to regard jfrasshoppers as theii beet friends. • • « One half of the member.s of the â- new ffovtrnment of Nova Scotia are 'Wacs." The Premier, himself, it an eloquent younjj son of the Provin- ces, whose ancestor came from Scot- land in 1780. Uarely has there been any party of the British Empire that lacked a full quota of statesmen of the "Mac" ilk. • • • The ex-President of Cuba and his •wife and family have setlkd down in Montreal. They profess to be charmed with Canadiap hospitality. If they journey to Ottawa they wll find a Machado in high social and commercial life. He is a producer of bank notes and bonds. * * • Dean Inge, the distinguished British divine, rise." to remark that "a man who can hold his tongue can hold anything, even a bishopric. I-s that the explanation why the talenteu "Gloomy" ik-an has never been given a "See." * • • In Germany the Nazi edict has gone forth that in future the. education of women must conform to the Hitler doctrine, and that there must be "less learning and more body huildi.'.g.' Parents are notified that public .schools "will concentrate" upon the formation of the self-possc-svied per- sonality, but in serviL-e in the family, the community, in professional life.'' Girls are to be sent in restricted numbers to scientific institution^, and to be givc-Ti education in schools which specialize in arts, handicraft, house keeping and farming. Classes for mothers, where they will be taught to bring up their daughters in the Nazi spirit, are to be formed. This restrictive experiment will be watched with interest by parents and educa- tionists generally. Hitler may find it more difficult to manage the young women than the men. No word here as to how the girls will spend their spare time; no tennis, no 'golf, no bowling. * • • A Scottish correspondent write." that the agricultural authorities here have become alarmed because of a report that the Colorada beetle â€" the common potato bug â€" has been seen tn the land, and immediate action has been taken to eradicate the pest, when its presence is revealed. As potatoes are grown in large quanti- ties in the Motherland, it is intended to take no chances to let the pest get a .start, and the Department of Agri- culture instruct the growers in a pro- clamation just issued, that "any striped potato beetle, or any red or reddish-yellow grub that is feeding on potato leaves, should he regarded with suspicion and a specimen at once forwarded to the experts for identi- fication." This prompt action may prove effective in eradicating the new-comers, but if the beetle once get>4 a start it is ppit to impossible to get rid of it. We in Canada have found that out. • • * The old, old story of the hour at which the late husband ijot home in the night is doomed. A tell-tale lock has been invented and will be one of the novelties to be exhibited at the Business Efficiency Exhibition, which Lord Melchett is to open at the White City, London, on Wednes day next. This seemingly miracul- ous ru.'ording lock is what most men will regard as a particularly mean device, records for all time the hour and minute at which the latch-key was inserted. The recording lock does more than this, we are told. If you have a shop or business premis- es it prevent.! the locking of the dooi until every other door and window is securely fastened; ensures that your shop is opened on time, is kept open all the time and not clo.sed before time; safeguards any room containing valuables, and permits a watchman to record his rounds without unlocking the door. Engagement Mr. and Mrs. Angus MacCannell of Proton Station announce the engage- ment of their daughter, Mary Isabel, to Mr. Angus MacDonald of Toronto the marriage to take place on Satur- day, September 2.'ird at Fairlawn Church, Toronto. THANKOFFERINC SERVICE The tenth .Anniversary and Harvest Thankoffering services of .St. Paul's Anglican church, Melancthon town- ship were held on Sunday, Sept. 17, at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. The rector, Rev. M. F. Oldham officiated and I) reached in the a.m. on Hosca 2: 8 & '.» and in the p.m. on Genesis ;i0;14. .stressing the importance of the Har- vest and the duty of each person to be thankful. The Holy Communion was administered at the morning service. A large number of the con- gregation partook of the Holy Sac- rament. The choir under the direc- tion of Mrs. Howard Grummett, org- anist, rendered an appropriate an- them at each service. The church was beautifully decorated with the products of the harvest. There were splendid attendances at the services MolliosoDs To Leave From Wasaga Beach Amy and Jim Mollison plan a hop- off from ;Wasaga Beach with Bagdad as their destination. The beach there is in (otcellent condition for such a takeoff. The strip of land bordering Georgian Bay at this point is 7VW miles of Nature- made road. Five miles of it would make a suitable runway even for a heavily-loadfc'd aeroplane. At this time of the year the beach is free ol automobiles. There is a slight re- siliency to the sand but it is suffic- iently packed by the season's traffic and by the high seas to make it smooth and safe. It is doubtful it a single stone could be found in the whole five-mile strip. It will be essential, of course, to choose a day when there is not a strong northwester, since the wind here has a sweep of about 100 miles from the direction of Manitoulin. During the autumn months, however there are scores of days when there is no wind. Perhap.i no place on the continent, apart from tidal watei- beaches, could be found where a stoneless strip ol perfectly smooth sand occurs. The width is about 300 feet. One does not need any greater demonstration of a century of pro- gress than to vision the day more than a century ago when the brave little Nancy sailed into the mouth of the Nottawasaga river, and sacrificed horself to the empire's cause at a point a mere stone's throw from this beach. And now there is planned the visit of a gi'cat modern aeroplane hurtling along these sands and rising' in power to wing its way across the .Atlantic. »»»»»"»»>»♦>»»♦»»»»»»»<»»»♦»» Other Paper's .

He refoii's to it as "the life-preserving role of good street lighting." Scann- ing the records of 227 cities, with a combined population of forty million, Mr. .Simpson concerned himself with the three most deadly traffic hours of the day â€" between five o'clock in the afternoon to eight in the evening â€" when millions are moving swiftly through the streets in swarming mot- or cars. "If the money represented by the economic loss from night-time traffic accidents were to be spent on stireet lighting," said Mr. Simpson, "it would bring about neaily a twofold increase in street-lighting expendi- ture and a four-fold increase in the amount of illumination; and it would eliminate the great majority of night traffic accidents now attributable to lack of light. Smudge Burns Barn The barn of Kichard -Mleii, Con- cession G, Proton township, lies in ruins from a fire which started whe-ii his son, Klmer, attempted to smoke out bee; and obtain some honey from a hive in the barn. Burning rags ignited the hay, and the fire quickly spread con.=;uming all the stuson's .rop, the barn and some implements. .James Donkin's hay-pressing outfit, which had been at work in the barn, was also consumed. The loss is estimated at between thre-'e and four thou.sand dollars. Mr. Allen carried no insurance. ONTARIO IS LEADER .lust betwees ourselves: "How's the label on your paper read?" We'll be glad to help you fix it up. "By a huge margin, Ontario is th^ first province in Canada from a stand- point of gros.^ agricultural revenue,' said S. H. Symons, chief of the Stat- istics Branch of the Department. "This," he continued, "must come as a surprise to those who have consid- ered Ontario primarily as an Indus trial section of the Dominion. The fact remains, however, that the gros? agricultural revenue of Ontario foi 1932 was $226,446,000, the next prov- ince being Quebec with a gross rev- enue of $129,656,000. "Some idea of Ontario's lead over the other provinces will be gaint'd from the fact that the combined gross agricultural revenue of Quebec, Brit- ish Columbia, 'New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island was $211,714,000 as compared with Ontario's total of $22(),44G,()00.

He- forgets, says Mr. L. H. Newman I>e)minion Cerealist, that the problem of the individual farmer differs vast- ly from that of the nation as a whok>. in that the capatity of the farmer tc carry on and pay his way is meas- ured in no small degree by the yields ho realizes â- i>er acre. To the far- mer, the acre is his unit of production. If bis average yields per acre, wheth- er converted into milk, mutton, or beef, or disposeil of in their taw state, are not sufficiently high to en- able him to meet his obligatiorid ht must eitker succumb entirely or be forced to adopt a standard of living which remo.ves him as an important factor in the problem of keeping tht wheels of commeroe moving, Vears ago trees used to be chopp- ed down. Now trees are made into t<"lephone poles and drivers of cars knock them down. It is just 100 years aine'e the 13. i tish Parliament voted niiJVions to free the slaves in all her colonies but slaves to fashion still abound. Tro'-ible really never starts in r. T.nmily until tl-.o time arrives whfn r.-ither and jon can wear each othc-'f clothes. Miss Macphail is reported to have said at St. Catharines that it i-s neith- er possible nor desirable to socialize agriculture in Canada. In that Miss Macphail is on sound ground. Wt believe, too, that it is neither possible nor desirable to socialize many othei lines of endeavor. It is very de- sirable that many avenues should be left open for the exercise of Individ ual ingenuity, individual effort, and individual responsibility, and the at- tainment of individual reward. Men .should not, as a rule, be mere' cogs in a great state machine. It is true that there are some ser- vices that are restricted as to the is- :iue of bank notes, a large portion of which are under control of the Gov- ernment. It may be desirable that they should be exercised along this line. We have a banking system that compares very favorably with that across the lines, one that has stood the test of the recent trying times in a very creditable way, and it would be a pity to impair its stab- ility. Perhaps the present investi- gation will expose weaknesses and re- sult in improvements; we trust there will be no lessening of confidence. â€" Mount Forest Confederate. -MEN SHOSLD PERK UP One weighty conclusion we have arrived at as the result of a day spent at the Toronto Ex. is that if man on a holiday spent as much time touching up his face in public as wom- an does, the scenery would be im- proved and he would look more as if he belonged. As it is, no matt« what direction he looks in the crowd he is sure to see a member of the fair sex, mirror in hand, wielding the powder puff or lip stick. He grins a wee bit, maybe even jnorts disdain- fully, but bye and bye, assumes a thoughtful look, rubs his face, wond- ers if those whiskers look as bad as they feel â€" and another day is spoiled. Ever notice how tired and subdued the men in a crowd like that look compared to the women? And how the dear ladies perk up and look sat- isfied with the world after they have administered their own public face trc-atment? Now, if man, by car- rying a mirror, and safety razor, and powder puff, and giving his face the necessary treatment every little while in public, could assume the same feel- ing of satisfaction and cheerfulness, wouldn't it be a wonderful improve- ment? But you try it first, brother till we have a chance to see if it works out right. â€" Shelburne F. P. & & E. SHOULD RETAIN DISTRICT AGRICLLTLRAL OFFICES It is surprising to find the Chesley Enterprise suggesting that the Dis- trict Agricultural Offices in Mark- dale and iWalkerton be closed and the County representatives dismissed in the interests of economy. Th« Enterprise usually is quite favorable to anything that i-a helpful to the farmers' interests, but on this occas- ion seems to have overlooked the very important services rendered to the farmers by these offices. It says that the farmers can securt the same results by "dropping a card to Toronto." The Daily Sun-Tiraes believes the money expended on the District rep- resentation is well invested. As far as can be learned the offices are ef- ficiently conducted and perform a valuable service to the farmers. Ex- travagant salaries are not paid and there are many Government depart- ments that could be curtailed to ad- vantage rather than this branch. Con- sidering the huge investment in the farms of Grey and Bruce and the value of the products each year, the expenditure in this direction is fully justified. Indeed the service might be extended with profit to give the farmer greater help and guidance in marketing. â€" Sun-Times. The Elora Express says that some of the weather wise are predicting cold weather, because the "shell" of the onion is hard. Farmers in United States are gett- ing paid for not growing wheat, ani we are w'ondering if the same policy could be' extended to include a good many of the radio performers. Local traveller reports that in Ger- many he saw a stork's nest over a chimney of a house with a pair of storks in it. If that were over here, the Canadian family would soon chase them away.
