Toner (Ontario Federation of Angler* nd Hunter*) No. 64 ARRANGEMENT OF ROCKS At the base of the Silurian rock* ar several formations that art highly interesting to th people of this Province. Profea- aoT Coleman in his "Geology of Canada" states : "The lower for- mations of the Silurian are com- posed chiefly of tandstonei and afcalea. All these rocks are of a ery toft nature but the overlying Lockport formation is a heavy dolomltic limestone, deposited in the middle Silurian sea at th time of its greatest extension and deepest water. In consequence of the occurrence of this hard heavy tone above the loft underlying formations, a striking feature of the topography of the province hat arisen. Million! of years have intervened between the time that these rocks wer* lifted out of the Ma and the present. During all tfaif time the forces of erosion have been at work, with the re ulti that the softer rocks have bem worn away except where the hard Lockport limestone hat af- forded them protection. The line to which the erosion has advanced westward ii marked therefore by a sharp cliff or escarpment which reaches from Manitoulin Island to Qneenston Heights." "Thus, the southern part of tha province is divided into two topo- arraphic uniU the-western up- lands and the eastern lowlands, separated by the significant es- carpment which is known as the Hamilton mountain. Niagara Falls' we* Its existence to the same let f causes for had there been no acarpment there would be no falls, and no escarpment would have been formed had the ar- rangement of hard and BO ft rocks been different. To the sequence f events In the far-di.stant Silur- ian sea we owe the present cqn- figuration of Ontario and the pos- Muion of one of the scenic won- ders of the world." ____^_^___ A legal ruling states that t row has a right in tha road. Fancy taking all this time to find out what cows seem to have known all along. Nature's Babies Shown at C.N.E.

Gold and Silver From Floor Dust The value of minute attention to details is dramatically demon- strated by the following practice observed in all United States mints: each day the floors of the mints are scrupulously swept, the weepings burned and the gold and silver in them recovered. At the Philadelphia Mint, for exam- ple, about $10,000 worth of gold sweepings are reclaimed annually by this method. "LUCKY" TETER AT C.N.E. ".Suicide Leap" as this stunt is aptly called, is one of the many death-defying feats which "Lucky" Teter and his squad of "Hell Drivers" are noted for. They are scheduled to appear at the 1941 Cnadinn Nation nl Exhibition. Wall-Paperihg Important Art The Correct Application of Color and Design Demon- st rated In International Building at C.N.E. If you think its a Job trying to decide what wall paper you'll use on that room you're going to do over, pity William Howard. For Mr. Howard has Just finish- ed choosing wall paper for all the rooms of six distinctly different kinds of houses; houses that will be presented in the International Building of the Canadian National Exhibition this year to demon- strate how Canadians live. Mr. Howard has chosen new and fresh looking colors and some In- teresting designs. The tendency this year, he says, Is to get away from the common neutral grounds that have been so in vogue for the past few seasons. . Colors are lighter and patterns are more Ylv- aclous than they have been. He la using a number of reg- ency stripes and some new florals that have been developed. And the combination of plain and figur- ed papers to give a room added Interest is being worked out. In one house, for Instance, he Is doing the living room, sun room and dining room all In plain and figur- ed papers of the same tones. The rooms are so designed that they can be opened to give a charming picture all together. A new idea being developed in the kitchens Is 'to bring the wall papers up over the cupboards, In- stead of using plain or ceiling pa- peri. And the Interesting effect you get of using the wall-pattern on the celling as well is very re- freshing where the room needs to be pulled together to make It coz- ier and more Inviting. On the other hand where it Is desired to break a room up and make It seem to have more wall Interest, you can use a dado effect for the lower part of the walls in the s.ime co or as the paper. Turquoise blues, so popular In past seasons, have rather run their course, and In their place a great many dusty pinks, si ch as Mr. Howard has used in some of his rooms, ""are being employed. They are refresh ing in summer and warm and friendly in winter. In one of tlie smaller houses Mr. Howard has taken striped paper and placed it in closets with the stripes running horizontally, rather than vertically to give more spaciousness. He has used the large scale de- signs only In large rooms for the larger Hie pattern the smaller It makes the room appear. One of the interesting decor- ative effects he has obtained In the Georgian library Is a panelling with Canadian yellow birch a rich fresh looking wood that has been liisiily prized In Kn gland fot a number of years, while Canad- ians were importing tnelr wood paiiflliiiRs from abroad. Beet supar produced from this year's crop in Spain \< ill weigh 170,000 tons. THE WAR - WEEK Commentary on Current Events The Powder Keg Sizzles In Russia and Far East Strategic Thailand Thailand, formerly known as Slam, Is the strategic state of southwestern Asia. Beyond Thai- land's northern and western frontiers lies British Burma, gate- way to India. In the south she has a common border with British Malaya, rich In rubber and tin. She Is a few hours, as the bomber flies, from Singapore, Britain's bastion of empire defense In the Far East. On her east lies French Indo-Ohina where the Japanese have completed a mili- tary occupation. Last week Thailand fell under the rays of Japan's rising sun. Tokyo was said to be pressing Bangkok for military bases and control of the country's produc- tion, which includes tin and rub- ber as well as rice. Soldiers of Nippon In Indo-China took up posi- tions on Thailand's frontier. Bang- kok lined up troops on the other tide of the Jungle border and an- nounced that it would fight ag- gression from any quarter. Whoever controls Thailand is In a position to menace all the pow- ers of the Far East, save perhaps China. Japan is openly planning to move in as the dominant power in Cast Asia. Japan needs Thailand as a step- ping stone toward that domination. Japan needs Thailand's rubber and tin and Burma's oil. If entrenched in Thailand she would be In a posi- tion to block the Burma road, cut- ting off war supplies to China. Thus hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops could be released from China to fi^ht against the Russians In Siberia. While Japan has been pouring troops into Indo-China, Britain has augmented her Singapore fleet with H.M.S. Warspite and other powerful naval units and has strengthened her garrisons In Singapore and Burma with rein- forcements of British, Australian and Indian troops. Will Vichy Yield? Vichy-controlled France has join- ed Germany In full collaboration and Marshal Philippe Petain has proclaimed his Intention of forcing France to share with her con- queror in a European reorganiza- tion. Vichy France is now con- sidered by Britain to be a full- fledged Nazi power. German pressure caused France to surrender Indo-China to Japan and has brought Britain and the United States to the verge of war in the Pacific. Will France now be made to surrender the French African colonies and the French fleet to Germany? With German occupation of Dakar on the west African coast the security of the western hemi?phore would be ser- iously menaced. Polish Russian Pact In London on July 30 the Polish and Soviet diplomats signed a treaty ending the state of war that had existed between the two countries ever since the Russian Invasion in September, 1939. By the new pact the Russians agreed to release all Polish army pris- oners, estimated around 300,000, and allow them to be formed into a national army, which would Join the Red army in the fight again?' the Nazis. The Russian Front Since the Rnsso-Gerniaii war started in June the Russians have for the most part been holding the N;:zis outside their main for tlficatious by a series of magnifi- cent delaying actions. Now the Herman drive eastward, alter one of its periodic slowings up, appears to be moving forward again. A notable increase i:i confidence lias been unmistakable in official German quarters recently. These sources would appear to reckon on the success of a concentrated drive eastward in the tTkrain sec- tor. The possession of the Ukraine Is of vital importance to Germany. Its grain and sugar beet farms make it tlio nation's "bread bas- ket" and "susar bowl." It also has great coal resources, Iron mines, deposits of salt, copper and other minerals. Russia, however, still battles with clogged tenacity and surpasses all previous German opponents in fighting temper. For the firrt time the German mechanized army has met an almost equally mechanized foe and a foe whose morale can- not be shaken. The German High Command can- not understand the morale of th Russians who simply refuse to sur- render even when faced with cer- tain death. Germany claims that a Russian army can Ix technically beaten but that it seems to have the [>ower and the morale to break up into small groups and continue the battle by resorting to guerilla warfare. Napoeon ran up against t! < same thing when, in one battle, the Russians fought to the death -vfter their position had been rendered hopeless. After the battle Napol- eon could hardly believe that there were practically no prisoners and he exclaimed: "These Rus- sians let themselves be killed) they are not taken alive. This does not help us at aH." The next few weeks will be * crucial period. Operations on the whole, Russian front are growing In seriousness. There Is still time for the Germans to take the gate- ways of the Russian defense sys- tem around Leningrad, Smolensk and Kleve before the September rains come. Whatever check the Nazis have suffered during the lat month and however much their "time-table" has been dis- arranged, their striking power has not been destroyed. On the other hand it is still possible that the German armies can be slowed and slowed again by the Russian "luring-on" tactics, and guerilla warfare. The offensive may bo# down In the snow and Ice of an early Russian winter. Meanwhile, there is no occasion for overconfidence. From now on. It is not a question of anybody's "magn'ficent resistance" but ot who wins the war. Russia Bombs Berlin There seems no question that Russian retaliatory bombing of Berlin bar begun. That challenges anew the Nazi statements that Russian air power has oeen shat- tered. Whether tile Russians have sufficient long-range equipment to natch the growing British air assault on Berlin and other Ger- man cities remains to be seen. There set -s small doubt, however, that Berlin Is due to taste some- thing of the horrors of bombing and that Russian bombers will prove more ruthless than those of the Royal Air Force. Palace or Cottage Same to Germans The Kinp and Queen iraveled 200 miles to visit the bombed areas of Hull, the British Broad- casting Corporation reported. One woman, bombed out of her home in a recent raid, said she was still living in it although the windows were broken. "So are the ones at Bijoking- ham Palace," the Queer, laugh- ingly replied. New German Trick To Fool Russians Russinn 'lisp.it dies from tne front recently said the G-vmans are trying tricks to conceal the steady decline of their farces. For example it was said, Rus- sian troops heard machine gun flre rattling in a woocltu sector as thoush "azi gunners were busy behind every tree and bush. 1'jussiau uconts, however, could find ony one machine gun nest. Investigation disclosed that a microphone ;unl a series of loud-speakers had been set up to spread the clatter of the single gun throughout the woods.
