Tucker, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. P. Gorham at Toronto on Sunday, Aug- ust 16th. after only a short illness, at the age of 75 years. The funeral took place on Tuesday, August 18th. when service was held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Gorham, 50 French Avenue, interment taking place in Prospect Cemet«ry. (The pallbearers were her grand- sons: Jim and Everett Lyons, Wes- ley Leigh, Gerald Gorham, Allan Tucker and Kenneth Betts. The late Mrs. Tucker was bom at St. Thomas, her maiden name baing Elizabeth Revalle. She was married to William Tucker, who predeceased her by a number of years. For many C. „, , - „ . years they lived at Flesherton and Wolstencroft, Ruth _ Eng. Comp. I about 22 years ago moved to Toronto. where the deceased has since re- sided. I Schools Open Tuesday Flesherton school children won't get much of a break when it comes time to start back to school in September. It was announced recently they must resume studies before Labor Day, probably for the first time in their history. New departmental regula- tions say that when the first of Sep- tember falls on a Thursday or Fri- day, schools will not re-open until the following Monday, If the first day of the month occurs on a Tuesday or Wednesday, school must be started promptly on that first day. Welt, this year that's the situation. The first of September occurs on a Tues- day and that's the day the bells will ring. They'll carry through the rest of the week, but will have a holiday on the seventh, Labor Day. Even the great crowds which we saw at the Tivoli, their beautiful a- 1 musement garden, while looking pleas- j ant, and laughed and talked little. The Danes are indifferent dressers, we saw few smartly dressed people on the streets. Possibly good grooming and bicycling do not go well together. They are, however, considered by au- thorities to have the highest general level of culture of any nation in the world.

The Danes love flowers. Every house along the crooked streets had flower filled windows and all the homes, whether small or large, had plantings of shrubs, hedges of roses, using them just as we do cedar hedges, and beds of mixed flowers. Speaking of beds makes one un- comfortable, since it calls to mind the difficulty we had in sleeping. First they raise your head high by a hard bolster beneath the pillow and then cover you warmly on hot sultry nights wfth a contraption made by stuffing a heavy comforter or tick, between heavy linen sheets sewn se- curely on three sides.

Bar- ley and oat straw is short and the yield of these grains is light due to premature ripening and lack of mois- ture while filling. Corn is showing some improvement but a below av- erage yield of fodder is expected. Sugar beeits and other root crops an variable. Pastures are in poor eott dition and new growth has made little progress. Late varieties of apples are sizing well and with a favourable autumn average yields are indicated. The growth of tobacco has been re- tarded and yields will be curtailed.

"Folk school" is a term originat- ed by Danes and such schools are claimed by them to be the basis of their success in their co-operative endeavor. We visited two, and at one of these stayed three days. Dr. Peter Manniche is the director of the People's International College, which in winter is a Danish Folk School, but in summer is a gathering centre for people of all nations. Here we met Scandinavians, Britishers from far-flung parts of the Empire, in- cluding India, and from United States, the Philippines. Germany and Korea. The stud«nts and lecturers live in re- sidence a»d combine visiting with lectures. Community singing is a feature of all Folk Higli Schools. Grundtvig, the founder of folk isohools, belie\*ed that /singing to- gether prepared people to work to- gether, so there is morning and even, ing song, singing before meals. Jlnd often singing after lectures. A pleas- \ ant feature of the day was "coffee'* served on the green at 4 o'clock.

What a pity every country has not such a gathering centre! Agriculture is the dominant indus- try in Denmark, ba«on and butter be- ing the chief exports. The butter is all it has been said to be. Every visitor exclaimed over its delicate flavor, but strangely enough we never tasted bacon in the land famed for its production since the Danish idea of breakfast consists of many kinds of breads, pastries and strong coffee, with plenty of the delicious butter. We were told, however, that the Dunes use margarine instead. The Parliament Buildings in Cop- enhagen showed in .several ways the prettominance of the agricultural in- dustry.

On and after September 1st, 1936 all package creamery butter sold to consumers in the Province of On- tario must have the grade of the butter clearly Indicated on the wrapper in letters not less than one- quarter of an inch square. The grades are First Grade, Second Grade. Third Grade and No Grade. This means that, while s-tores may use a brand name, the grade must also be shown in accordance with Regulations 2 7 and 2S of the Dairy Industry .\ct o( Canada, Butter will be sold by grade for domestic use on and after Septem- ber 1st in live of the Provinces of Canada, namely. Ontario. Manitoba, Saskatchewan. .\Iiberta and British ; Columbia. It has been in effect in I the Western Provinces for more ! than a year. At the last session of I the Ontario Legislature the neces- ' sary legislation was passed making ! the Reigulations of the Dairy In- dustry .\ct referred to applicable to the grading of creamery butter, sold in Ontario. This action followed i the formal proclamation published in the Canada Gazette of .-Vugust 1, fixing .\ugust 15 as the date the grading regulations shall become effective. In order, however, to give merchants an opportunity to i clear any stock of package butter I on hand and to enable them to be- j come familiar with the new re- quirements, it has been decided by the Dominion Department of Agri- culture not to take any action until after September 1. The new measure means that con- sumers win merely have to look at the wrapper to know the quality of the butter offered for sale. It is expected that in the course of time the four provinces in which creamery package butter Is not sold by grade, will pags the necottsary legislation and make these regula- tions effective. About 25 per cent, of the cream- ery butter made in Canada last year, amounting to 23S,$54,<00 pounds, wa.s produced in Ontario.
