License Cheese Men Torontoâ€" Kvery cheese buyer in the Province is to be licensed under a plan wliich was approve 1 by a Cab- inet Council this week at Queen's Park. Under the sc-hemo, all cheese will be sold through the medium of or- ganized cheese boards. A direct charge of five cents per 100 pounds will bo levied by the Ontario Cheese Producers' Marketing Board, and will be remitted to the board by the cheese buyer, who will deduct it from factory remittances. Ei.u'ht hundred factories will be af- fected. Huge Tobacco Crop Toronto. â€" Ambitious plans for to- bacco growing in Ontario have been formulated by the Provincial De- partment of Agriculture which an- nounces that 50,000 acres of flue- cured tobacco would be grown this year, an increase of 15,000 acres over last year. The increase in tobacco acreage means that from 1,100 to l.fiOO e.x- pert tobacco carers from the south- ern United States will be needed, as compared with 830 last year. There are 500 new growers in the tobacco area this year. A rormal crop is expected to pro- Vide employment for 18,000 men in the counties of Norfolk, Brant, Ox- ford, Klg:n, Kent and Essex. Drill for Oil Calgary. â€" Several oil companies have I'nnounccd plans to drill in search of oil near the ranch owned by the Duke of VVind.sor in the foot- bills of High River, 40 miles south of here. Drilling is already underway at one well, four miles northwest of the ranch i.<roperty, and the rotary drill is down 2.000 feet. The new tests will be made north, east, south and west of the Duke's property, known as tlie K.P. ranch. No one may seek oil on the Royal ranch. The Duke holds a !)!)-year lease on the oil and gas rights and only with his perinissio.i could dril- ling be started. A strike at the boundary wells, oil men sa d, might mean permission would be sought from his Royal Highness to drill on the ranch pro- perty. . One of the comi)anies which will drill on the ranch boundary is controlled by Chinese. It was or- ganized by the Chinese communities of Calgary and Vancouver. Chai'ges Patronage Elxistj In Canadian Postal Service Quebec. â€" S. .1. Thomas of Mont- real, editor of the Postmasters' As- sociation of Qunebcc I'rovince year book, told the opening meet ng of the annual convention that "although the presence of patronage in Canada's postal service is denied, it is actu- ally present." More than 200 dele- gates were in session fo.- three days. Dies While Cashir.g Pension Cheque Edmonton. â€" More than six dec- ades after arriving at Fort Saskat- chewan as a bold young bugler with tj^e old, original Northwest Mounted Police, 84-year old Phil as Brunette dropped dead here reiently â€" on a bench in a crowded bank. Overcome by a heart attack im- mediately after cashing an old-age pen.sion che(|ue, he suddenly collaps- ed. Born July 2(1, 1852, in St. Mar- tinne, Quebec, he enlisted with the Mounted Police in 1874, original year <.t the storied foriT. He was a bugler at Fort Saskatchewan, near Edmon- ton, the same year. Few living men could look back on so early a con- nection with the "Mounties." I ittle is known of him. lie was a life member of the Northern Al- berta Pioneers' and Old-Timers' As- sociation. His wife died many years ago. He had one daughter, but old- age pension officials said he did not know himself where she was living. Meanest Thief , The Pas, Man. â€"This Northern Manitoba mining centre, 250 miles northwest of Winnipeg, has found a tiew type of "meanest thief." One of the collection boxes, dsitrlbuted to collect funds to aid in the battle against cancer, was missing from the tnstofTice lobby. A Lot of Honey When we think of Canada's ex- ports we are liable to think mainly of wheat and newsprint and miner- als. Well, last yei'.r Canada sold Britain 2,205,000 pounds of honey. â€" Ottawa Journal. Trading Ccricessions Asked By Australians Toronto. â€" .Australia will not c-on- t'nue her present trade agreements with Canada unless Canada gives Australia additional preferences, L. R. Macgrcgor, Australian Trade Coiiiinlssioiifr, who has just r<!lii,-n(!d from a visit to his homeland, made it clear at the convention of the Can;idian Manufacturers' Associa- tion here. "The political act on taken in 1930 benelited Canada's major Industries in artifically creatine; a market in our country. Your major inUustries benefited and our subsidiary ones. The majority of the good.s we sell to Canada is perishable, the majority you sell to Australia is non-perish- able. "There will be considerable diffi- culty in continuing an agreement which turned out to be much more advantageous to Canada than to Aus- tralia," the Trade Commissioner stated. "Your sales to us during the past calendar year amounted to .$26,- 000,000; our sales to you were only .$8,000,000. Considering costs of transportation, etc., the net result is that the trade balance is four to one in Canada's favor." ''Exhaustive surveys have been made to determine whether .A.ustralia might not increase her trade, but no channel has been found available. It will not be possible to maintain the status (|uo unless you increase your preferences unilaterally, and without compensation, to our country," he declared. Gold Mining Expansion. Ottawa.- â€" Promise of further ex- pansion in the gold mining industry and the development of other Cana- dian resources is seen as fifty-lwo survey and exploratory parties from the Department of Mines and Re- sources take the field to gather in- formation which will be useful to prospectors, mining companies and various in<lustries. Dr. Charles Camscll, Deputy Min- ister of .Mines, said this week, that forty-(]ne of these jiarlies will be en- gaiieil in geological 'nvc^stigalioiis and eleven in topographical mapping. Seven of the survey and exploratory parties will be engaged in Ontario and a like numbi'r in Quebec. The Prairie Provinces will have eleven, British Coltimbia nine, the Maritime Provinces four, the Northwest Ter- ritories two, and Yukon one. The field force totals close to 300 men, will be out all summer and autumn and will report to Ottawa in the fall, with results of their investigat ons. Ontario Accidents Cost $115,000,090 Toronto. - - ".Accident prevention is, and will continue to be an oper- ating problem as far as industry is concerned," R. B. Morley, general manager of Industrial Associations, told delegates to the (Idth annual meeting of the Canadian Manufac- turers' As.sociat on this week. Declaring that accident prevention work should be a continuous cam- jiaign, Mr. Morley said that in On- tario alone, in the h'.st 22 years, in- dustry has found accidents have cost more than ,$115,000,000. Trrrjf-Cf.nada Airways To Open Mid-Julv Ottawa. â€" Mill-July shouhl sec daily diy-time flying over the Trans- Cai'nda Air Lines between Winnipeg and Vancouver, Hon. C. D. Howe, Mini:;ter of Transport, in<licated this week. Whether the carrying of mails and passengers will be under- taken from the start remains to be decided, the Mini.ster added. PcMvery is (xpected from the I.otheed firm, of I.os Angeles, of three fast clectra machines, co.sting approximately SSO.OOO each in about six wei^ks and immediately Ihese planes will start flying the western end of the trans-Canada route. These planes will ( arry two i>ilots and space for ten passengers and mail. Meningitis Recovery What is described as the "drama- tic recovery of a 14-yoar-ol(l Vancou- ver girl from spinal meningitis is out- lined in the current issue of the Can- adian Medical Journal. A new strep- tococcus-killing substance, known as prontosil, obtained by German re- search men from a red dye, was used by Ilr. Cordon C. Draeseke and Dr. Everett P. Raynor of Vancouver. On Dec. 0, 193R, the girl was ad- mitted to the Vancouver Geneyral hospital. A left mastoid operation was performed the next day.. She ran a normal course of recovery till Dec. Ifi, when signs of meningitis ap- liearod. Fluid from the spinal col- umn obtained by a puncture on Dec. 18 gave dread .s'lort-chafn strepto- cocci organisms. Prontosil injections were given. On Dec. 25 the patient was so W«ll (hat she sat up and ate a small Chiistmas dinner of. turkey, the doc*- tors state. On Jan. 1 the doctors io- jiorted the girl not only recovered completely, but with no evident signs of bad effects from the use of the new drug. Leading physicians in Toronto hos- jjitals where prontosil has been used for over six months now, while ad- initing its apparent effectiveness, were uninepared to give it the repu- tation yet of a sure-cure for strepto- coccal infections claimed for it in many reports from other places. "Many c.ises will be necessary be- fore judgment can be given," stated Dr. Julian Loudon, chief physician of St. Michael's hospital. Mosquitoes Bad Lindsay. â€" Hordes of mosquitoes have appeared here. Employees of Jones lumber camp, at Janetville, upon retiring found it impossible to sleep. They hurriedly donned their overalls and departe.i by car for their homes in Fenelon Falls, a dis- tance of 35 miles, where they ex- pected to pass the night in slumber, returning to work next day.

Tb.e Inventor of The Half Tone Magazines and newspapers were illustrated both In black and white and in color before the late Frederic E. Ives was born in 1856; yet the thousands of periodicals that depend on illustrations today have reason to pause for a moment and honor his memory. For the half-tone process, which makes it possible to print photographs with ink on ordinary presses, v/as largely if not entirely his invention. Ccrta'nly to him be- longs the credit for having devised the simple and ingenious method of breaking up a photo.?rap'.i into a mul- titude of dots, large and small, by ruling parallel lines on two glass plates, scaling the plates together wi'.h two sets of lines crossing each other, and determining just where the screen should bo placed between the kns and the senitized motal plate on which the picture was to be repro- duced. After his success the wood- cut disappeared in the popular pub- lications. What the arts and crafts lost, the public gained. Without the half-tone process our lavishly il- lustrated, inexpensive books, and our periodica's would be impossible. Frederic Ives had other inventions to his credit, notably his system of color photography, which he soon combined with the half-tone process, and a method of obtaining stereo- scopic effects without a stereoscope. Prolific as most distinguished inven- tors are, he enriched the arts with a score of instruments and processes that stamped him as a scientist-think- in.(j man rather than the whittling typo of mechanic who flourished in the latter half of the last century. His name will go down in the annals of both photography and print'ng as a pioneer.

What Happens When Ships Collide NEWS PARADE Commentary on the HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEKS NEWS - By Peter Randal Two British steamers collided in the River Thames near Green- hithe last week. The Corrientes, with a cargo of paper, was badly holed amidships. The Umtali, which carried passengers, had her bows smashed and was taken in tow by tugs. A young rlreman was killed in the engine room of the Corrientes. Our picture shows tho severely smashed bows of the Umtali being inspected by some of the passengers. Events in the international arena are moving with all the swiftness of a championship prize fight. At a meet- ing of the League of Nations Assem- bly at Geneva last week, fifty nations recognized the Valencia government of the Spanish Loyalists while com- pletely ignoring General Francisco Franco of the military opposition. It looked as though the Loyalists might eventually win on points. The League was for them. Mussolini and Hitler wero both reported to be very tired and the Loyalist forces in the field were holding on very well in spite of determined rebel attacks. The Sins of the Fathers But tho loyalists made a tactical error when a squadron of their fight- ing planes attacked tho German battle cruiser Deutschland. One of the devil- ish eggs landed on her decks and she limped into Gibraltar with twenty- four dead officers and men. It did not matter that the Deutschland was in forbidden waters when the bombing occurred. Twenty four Germans v,'ere dead and Nazi authority challenged. Germany and Italy withdrev,- from the non-intervention committee and a Ger- man fleet destroyed the Spanish har- bor of Almeria. Three hundred have been reported dead as the sins of the Spanish fathers are visited upon their defenseless children. Imperial Politics Italy and Germany are in danger- ous mood and there are many worried heads in England at tho present time. Collective security as represented by the League of Nations failed to pro- tect China. Collective security failed to help Ethiopia and now, collective security appears to have failed in a situation that may well threaten the whole peace of the world. One of the chief pillars of the League ha.s been Great Britain but after the failure of sanctions and tho possible effect If they should again be invoked by an offended nation, it is said that Great Britain is waverin.:; in its attitude to- ward the League as a body to punish aggressor nations. As t'ae most pow- erful of the Dominions. Canada is said to have the deciding voice In Britain's decision. Shall Prime Min- ister Mackenzie King attempt to use his influence for the abandonment of sanctions'? Few think he will but the possibility has intorestin.t; aspects when Canada's well known reluctance to beiug drav.n into European affairs is known. "CfcaiKcerlain Is What He Was'* The late Lord Liirkenhead ouce de- scribed Neville Chamberlain, the new prime minister, in his characteristic sneer as "a man who is what he was â€" a very goou Lord Mayor of Birming- ham â€" ia a lean year. "For hoi;esty, he is said to bo Baldwin's counter- part. In matters of policy. It's thought that he will follow in the steps of his Cornier leader. Where uev/ Innova- tions are to be sought, some thiuk ho will look for a hint from President Koosevel'. Should some daring ex- perimenter arrive at some feasible plan for world economic and political stabilization Neville Cliamberlain is expected to give his whole hearted support. That such a scheme Is al- ready on toot cannot be gainsaid in view of the attempts of American statesmen to gain influence ia the Imperial conference discussions through the voices of certain of the Dominions. Lail of the "Old Gang" Tho past few months have witness- ed many changes in high places. This week, tho last of England's "Old Gang" statesmen takes over tho di- rection of afi'airs on tho retirement of two contemporaries. Stanley Bald- win has become an earl and retired lo the comparative peace of the House of Lorrls. Ramsay Macdonald, true to his i Ir^alistic streak, has de- clined a similar honour as a gesture toward the political career of his son who retains cabinet rank in the new government as Minis'er fcr the Do- minions. An Angry Paper Hunger Chicago has always liad a reputa- tion for very free "free speech". A few years ago, Wild Bill Thompson used tho municipal rostrum to hurl imprecation at the head of George V. Today he visits the Dominion of the late kins as only one of thousands of enthusiastic American llshermon. Back in Chicago, an oratorical suc- cessor has arisen in the past few weeks in the person of an ecclesiasti- cal prince. Cardinal Mundeloin who has had the misfortune to call Chan- cellor L'itler an "Austrian paper hanger". Now Chancellor Hitler was a paper hanger not such a very long time ago but he and the German peo- ple like to forget about it. Whether as a direct result of Chicago's Cardin- al's remarks or as a purt of a con- certed campaign against the Church, the Nazi Government last week ban- ned publication of 200 Catholic news- papers and pushed forward the trials of Genu: n clergy held on whole.sale immorality charges. And the Church prepared to fight back as clergy used their pulpits to denounce the Chaa- cellor and all his works. Aviation Merry-Go-Round When wo started out, this week's news looked like a prize fight gono mad with the fighters not caring par- ticularly whether they hit the other man, the referee or someone in the audience. After going the circle from. Germany to Germany, it begins to take some of the aspects of a merry- go-round. That is just what aviation is about to do with the world as the last remaining link in globe circling is finally prepared on both both sides of the Atlantic ocean. Experimental flights are already being put on sched- ule badis between New York and Bermuda while in the wilds of New- foundland, not far from the take off point of the first Transatlantic flight in 1919, 400 men are hacking out the runways which the first one hop planes will use in June. The gi'eat air- poits will take at least two years to complete. And up at the North Pole, arrange- ments for the top of the world wea- ther observation post are almost com- pleted as base planes landed on the drifting ice floes with cargoes of supplies. And so another week's ad- ventures march into history. MslslOM HQT5HDT5 Hi-de-hi and ho-de-ho, folks ! Back home again from the races and all o.k. This is sort o£ an off-week for this column, on account of the fact that we are changing it around in order to make it more colorful and in- teresting for you. So, it we don't tell you how many toes Ghandi has on his right foot, or how many hairs he plucked out of his bald head with his ri,ght fist, do not think we have forgotten you, dear reader. . . and dear reader, if your best friend tells you to play No. 12 in the 4th race, play No. 6 â€" he's probably better. . . please don't pass up the moral of these lazy words. Anyway, it's a date â€" next week we will look at you from other places, in different ways!! Canadian Nurses In Demand in U.S. Immigration Laws, However, Make Difficulties; Waiting Po- sition Not Sufficient. Câ€" N LONDON, Ont.â€" Canadian n'lrses. in g:rcat numbers have bctu in de- mand by United States hospitals, where there is stated to be a short- age of this class of profession. At tht^ same time, however, it is declar- ed that U .8. immigration laws, by a reported demand that no nurse en- ter the States without aa immigra- tion v'sa even if she has a job iit view, has put quite a damper on the? immigration. TT. S. consular officials here .said they knew of no recent enactment which would make the law with re- gard to nurses more severe. In or- der to secure tha necessary legal entry it has alv/ays been necessary to prove complete finacial responsi- bility. The fact that nurses usually have definite employment in sight when they cross the United States boiler often works to their advantage with immigration authorities, but in itself it is not necessarily sufficient. "The possession of a job docs not make it certain that the party will not become a public charge (.n the country in the event of sickness or other such eventuality," pointed out a consular official. Reports are that many Canadian nurses already working in the United States, but without the ncces.sary im- migration papers are now faced with deportation. 2,721 Fa^m Jobs Found, 2 Months TORONTO.â€" In two months 2,721 unemployed Ontario men have been placed on farm jobs through the Provincial Employment Service, Geo. Taylor, Department of Labor secre- tary said. Duiing tho past few days there was a rc(|ucst for 200 pulp workers, Taylor said. The government turns over requests to its various employ- ment bureaus throughout the prov- ince. .^^
