Pioneer Life in Miniature An cxhi'^iticr cf objects connected With Pioneer Life in Ontario, repres- ented in exact models on the scale of one inch to the foot, has been op- ened' at the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeclcigry. These models are the work cf J. McNeeley McGiea oi Tor- onto, who has been making them since 1935. Mr. McCrea was bom and brouight uip in Ontario, and his fam- ily with the old buildings of the Province and' the t\T>€s of fumitttre and farm equipment used by the early settlers. He intends to put his knowledge of the subject into a book to be called: "THE WOODEiN AGE IN OLD OiNTARIO," but he feels that the moiiels can be used to give an understanding and' appreciation of pioneer problems and the courage and ingenuJty used in overcoming them. The range of models is very comprehensive and shows log and frame QVellingrs. a shoemaker's shop a oaripentei's shop, a school house. a .<4Ugar canxp cnmoletp with eiiaip- ment, innumerable obje-.-ts used m fai.mdns a 'd various ii-.ulc.?. aiui even typical bridges .x .ri r-'a.'('.<.

Although it was not ipossible to in- clude every variety of implement and equipment, representative types have been chosen, and it can be said that the exh bi -ion contains an exact rep- resentation in miniature of almosv ever>-thing needed in the way of tools and equipment by the early settlers, and may 'ae considered as being a cress-sfjtion of Ontario pioneor life. Model-making is a labor of lovt with Mr. MeCrea. who has never yet sold a model, land wishes thorn to be used fcr educational pui-poses only, as .a peiimanent memorial to the earl> days in Ontario.

The Danger Of Inflation It is easy to find observers and -olMcally minded people of all oc- cupations to tell you something of the cause of the present ecomic "cris- is" in Britian which is sausdng so much concern and disloration in other countries. Mos^t agree that a measure of world wide inflation has greatly increased Britain's expendit- ures and limiite<l her purchase of bad- ly needed machinery and other "cap- ital goods". It is obvious that the greatest im- pediment to the control of inflation comes fix>m the action of varions kind's of "pressure groups" each in- tent on the solution of their own special problem. The most powerful and dangerous pi-essure groups are. of course, '"socialistic" plaiiners who attempt to plan on -i national basis. M!-iny claim that, while half of Brit- ain's troubles are due to world dif- ficulties beyond' her control, the other half are due to the failure of the Br'tish government to plan her own affairs wisely.

North- ampton, England in the year 1890. Mr. Barker came to Canada in 1921, and farmed at Wolseley, Sask., for v\vo years. His wife and two child- ren, Ernie and Kathleen, came to Canada from Luton, Bedfordshire, England during 1923 and Mr. Barker and his tfamily s«ttled on a farm near Chats worth, where they were blessed with two more boys. Jack and Cecil. The Barker family, grradojally becoming larger moved to Saugeen Jet. in 1926, where he was employed by the Canadian Pacific Railway, where the family was increased' by trwo more boys, Reggie and Charlie. Being a railway man, Mr. iBarker moved fi-om place to place quite fra- quently and had been a'^ Grand Valley for thet past few months. He just come home for the week end when he took ill and despite medical attention, he passed away in his sleep during the night.

Dundalk Take Game At Home By 10-8 Score Dundalk defeated Eugenia Trout Kings 10-8 in the first of fithe final play-otf ga/mea at Dundalk Friday evening last, before a very good crowd. The game was marred by too many errors, Eugenia having five and Dundalk four. Each team hati eight hits, but Bemiose gave four walks, both scoring, and McKenzie for Dun- dalk did not give any away. Bern- rose had a shade the better of the argument in the strike-outs, having five to his credit, and McKenzie four. It was a good game to watch. Dundalk started out strongly and shoved' over two runs in the first and one in the second, two in the fourth and one in the fifth, Springgay hit a homer into centre field for the only run, but in the si.xth they added' four more on tivo hits and an error, to end the scoring. Lps Seeley started the scoring for Eugenia when he hit a three-bagger in the second and Russ Johnson hit and reached first on an error, Seeley scoring. In the fifth inning they tied up the score when Russell hit with one down. Bemi-ose bunted and Rus- sell went to second. Boyce struck out -Art Porctor hit to centre field anil Russell .scored and Doug Cairns got to first on an erix)r by Dundalk first- baseman, scoring Bemrose and again Seeley came through with anothei Giree base hit. scoring Proctor and Cairns. Johnson was out second to first. Then in the seventh inning they made another rally, scoring three runs by Proctor, Seeley and Johnson on two hits, one a three-base alfaii by Johnson, and a dropped ball by the right fielder, and Breadner w'as an easy out on a giiounder to first. This looks as though it wotild be good series, as there is not much to choose between the two teams. They were tied for the league leadership and Dundalk won the pay-off game. An unfortimate occurrence marred the game in the second inning whei Oscar Stafford received a fracturec cheek bone when he overran second base and when he dived back to the base his face hit on the knee of one of the Eugenia players. He continued in the game despite considerable pain and on Saturday morning went to Orangeville hospital, where the in- jury was discovered. He hope that Oscar will be able to play the re- maining games, as he is a splendid player and Dundalk would miss him.

Unnecessary Advice Perhaps it is because Canada is a small country that so many visitors abroad feel that they should advise us to copy some other country. In any case we CaHadians continually find it accessary to subdue our res- entment and .speak kindly to our vi.v itors. Last week James Crawford, a labour (socialist) M. P. from Britain said in Toronto thsit Britain's troubles which include a reduced srtandard of living for her people, came front the failure of her fonner allies to help her carry her burdens. .â- \nother socialist, MoiTpan Phillips. asked Canadians to accept socialist (€. O. F.) rule so that all Bm|»re counctries would' be tnder ssocialis^; domination. .\s Canadians enjoy the highest per capita iiKome and great- est pro.'4peri1sy of all emi>ire countries one is inclined to vwnder at the arro- gaiucti of those from other countries who would aak a«i to give up the ad- van ta Res we have. Dundalk Took Advantage Eugenia Errors, Won 10-9 Eugenia outhit Dundalk in the second game of the series Monday evening ot Eugenia, but errors paved the way for their do^vtifall, when Dundalk eked out a one run advan- tage by the score of 10-9. Eugenia had 12 hits to Du-ndalk's 9. but they had 7 eiTors and Dundalk 3. T<.<m Bemrose, Eugenia pitcher, did not give a walk and struck out 3, wh:le Jack McKenzie, Dundalk pitcher, gave one walk and struck out three. iEhi- ?enia scored four runs in the first, one in the second, two in the fourth and with Dundalk leading 10-7 in the seventh inning, Eugenia scored two runs and had the tieing run on third and one out, when Russell filed out to the short stop and Bemrose was out on called strikes, after he had the count 3 and 2 in his favor. Dundalk came right back in the second inning and tied the score with four runs, added another in the third, three in the fifth and two in the si.xth and in the seventh had runners on first and second with two do'WTi. when Haw hit a hi^h fly to Bob Oark in right field and the threat was stopped. Bob iiad a perfect day in the field handling six chances easily. Bus Springgay's big bat waa in the forefront with a three-base hit and a home run. Russ Johnson was Eugenia's best batter, having three hits at four times up, in fact he was the best on either team. We niig-ht say here that Russ made the best catch we have seen for some time, when he leaned his six foot heigW over the fence and speared Gruni>- niett's high foul fly for the first oat in the seventh and overbalanced to land on his back on the other side w-ith the ball still clutx-hed in his hand.

It is a biennjai with a tap root and produces only a small plant and no bloom tihe first year. The second year it grows two to four feet high and produces sever- al clusters or umbels of small white flo%vers. These flowers are often re- ferred to as Queen Ann's Lace. It begins flowering about the middle oi July and continues until September. Wild carrot produces a copious supply of seed, which is spread by wind', water and animals, as well as an impurity in clover and grass seed. After the flower cluster or tunbel has begun to mature, it forms a ciip- shapeti cavity which is full of green seed. However, even if the plant is cut down at this stage, many seedls \vill continue to matuie. Wild carrot will not become a ser- ious problem in land where a short rotation of crops is practised. Do not leave a field down to sod for more than two or three years. Where only an occa.'sional plant is present, hand pull them to prevent seeding. However, where this weed has taken possession of many mfles of roadside it lx?comes a serious pro- blem. Mowing and scything this weed results in it sliooting up numerous short stalks and in a few weeks all this work is undone. To effectively control and' eventually eradicate wild carrot fixvm roadsides and fence-lines spt'iiying wfth a chenwcal weed killer killer is reconmiended. Success is what you have wken you make a fortune. Luck is wkat the other fellow has. If some of us practiced all we preached, we'd work ourselvee to death. .Another idea of an easy job: Garbi age collector in Scotland.
