Following â€" one of the worst springs on record, the return of fuâ€" vorable weather has been welâ€" vomed by Waterioo County farmâ€" ers as it gives them a chance to make a fair comeâ€"back following the serious setback. Mr. McLoughry. agricultural reâ€" presentative _ stated â€" there have been no reports at his office of any ¢'xt(-nsi\'¢- replanting by farmers who seeded in the latter part of March and early April There may be a few such cases, he admitted, but they have not come to his atâ€" tention. "The season has certainly been sceriously delayed and conditions up to now have been anything but faâ€" vorable," the official said. "We can only hope now that continued fair weather will accomplish some teâ€" covery." _ He stated there has been definite damage caused hy frosts but not sufficient to kill off any appreciâ€" able quantity of the crops. This damage will necessarily affect qualâ€" ity but it is far from approaching anything like a general total loss Brown Goose Eggs Hatch White Goslings Several weeks ago we published a story about a large white Emden goose that laid brown eggs apparâ€" (~nt:‘y in crror and certainly not acâ€" cording to Hoyle During the photographer‘s visit t» the farm, Mrs. Schleuter pointâ€" vd out a brood of a dozen white goslings, followjng their mother around the farm This goose was the instigator of the brown eggs. and her offspring were definitely white and true to type, so once more Mr_ Schlucter is wondering what is going on, for this goose does not seem to be satisfied as she is again laying brown eggs VOTE as You Like . . . . but VOTE Wilmot Township Honored For Leaves 1 With the ist Canadian Army.â€" The names of 10,000 Canadians in this theatre have been sclected by , the Canadia 2nd Echelon as those best qualified to return home in the [first iongâ€"service drafts. during the big annual livestock show An advanced registry purebred| Yorkshire sow is top prize for the* initial amatcur judging team comâ€"| petitions.

Shortly before 9 o‘clock offiâ€" ecrs from a nearby camp teleâ€" ploned to say that they had Himmler under arrest When the officert reached the station, Himmler was sitting at a table being questioned by British officers. When captured, Himmlerâ€" was travelling under the name of Hizâ€" inger and disguised with a black patch over the right eye and his moustache shaved off. CHICKEN THIEVES *| ‘Assessment Problem ;; Causes Much Concern Following a survey of recreation facilities and needs in Kitchener and Waterloo, 14 recommendations were submitted at a meelkn‘ of representatives of Twin City Clubs and institutions and organizations held recently. Heading the list was a recommendation that a Kitchâ€" ener Recreation Council be organâ€" ized to assist in coâ€"crdinating and extending community â€" recreation activities to meet the nceeds of young people and adults of this city. The Recreation Council is beâ€" lieved to be the first organization of its kind in Ontario. Mr. A. L. Spracklin was nominated as Genâ€" eral Chairman of the ccuncil. Accident Fatal To Baden Man Christian Herner of Baden died Sunday as the result of injuries suffered when the truck he was driving plunged from the Kitchâ€" enerâ€"Stratford Highway on Saturâ€" day afternoon, _ __ _ Bitter Fighting Breaks Out In Damascus, Hama Plan Kitchener Recreation Council Endorsed also was a proposal that five committees be establishâ€" ed to handle the project. They are: arts and crafts, citizenship and education; health and physical fitâ€" ness; music and drama; and sports. It was pointed out that all comâ€" mittees and organizations now in existence in the city would autoâ€" matically be entitled to representaâ€" tion, through their chairman or other appointce, on the committee or committees in which they are interested When Dr. T. B. Feick of New Hamburg arrived on the scene, he found that Herner‘s spine had been fractured. He was rushed immediâ€" ately to the hospital, but died the following day. _ A year ago argument presented to the Finance Committec was to the effect that the equalization figures for Waterloo and Preston should be changed as they were unâ€" fair to Waterloo. The late Mr. Herner was driving toward Kitchener when his vehicle left the road a quarter mile west of Petersburg, near the farm of Mrs. Leo Ditner. The truck crashed into a hydro pole, breaking it off,> then turned over, hurling the dri-i ver to the roadside. He was thrown out on the opposite side as that door was open when Daniel Gascho | and others from Baden went to the ; rescue. Mr. Herner was lying near‘ some live wires and was still conâ€" scious, He asked that a stone be! moved from under his head. 0 Several members of the council are strongly in favor of having the new assessment shelved for anoâ€" ther year as far as its relationship to the present equalization bylaw is concerned, while otHers are in favor of a change in the present equalization setâ€"up on the basis of the report to be brought in by the county assessor, J. P. Snider. The June session of the council will be confronted with several difâ€" ficult problems to iron out, one of which will be the question of wheâ€" ther or not the new assessment sysâ€" tem adopted by the county will be used this year in determining the equalization bylaw The percentages place the Presâ€" ton assessment at 95 per cent of value and Waterloo at 64. Reeve Herman Sturm, Waterloo, contendâ€" «d last year that these percentages are not correct as they apply to Waterloo. He maintained that Waâ€" terloo‘s assessment is much closer to par than is stipulated in equaliâ€" zation schedule. "My husoand thinks he would like to take some new kind of job when he gets back from Germany," writes the wife of an R.C.E. private from Saskatoon. "What kind of training will he get? Will there be any money coming in while he is training? f think he would like to be a linotypc operator on a newsâ€" paper. Please advise me." _ _ ! "My only desire right now is to get back to my farm in the Okaâ€" Under the Department of Veterâ€" ans‘ Affairs legislation, any veterâ€" an can be helped back on his feet in civilian life by taking training of some kind. Ordinarily, only one vyear may be spent in training, but if he needs more and has been in the service longer, he can extend his course up to the length of time he has been in the forces. Actualâ€" ly, there is no list of courses from which to chooseâ€"if he will benefit by it, he may have training in any vocation for which he is suited. lt‘ is arranged that wherever possible “raining will be carried out right on the job in industfy. If this is don> your husband will be paid partly by the Government and partly by the employer, the maxiâ€" mum from both sources being $120 a month for you both. Allowances are available for dependents. Durâ€" ing training in school he cam reâ€" ceive a total of $80 a month living allowances for the two of you, also with additional money for depenâ€" dent children.

Artillery, mortar and machineâ€"gun fire, as well as pombs, nas veen raining on Damascus almost unâ€" ceasingly from the French forces. Meanwhile Syrian gendarmer and police have given answering fire with every availabie weepon.. The Syrian lla;ot of ;fi; 110 miles north of ascus sent an appeal to the commander of the 9th Army, reading: |_ _ s ‘"The French are using planes, guns, tanks and armored cars and are bombing the town without mercy. There are more than 100 killed and 100 wounded. "I beg you to intervene for a cessation of fire for 48 hours to move the dead and wounded and to discuss with the French the question of Hama." _ Foreign Secretary Eden told the House of Commons tonight that the British Cabinet was in emergency session on the warlike situation in the battleâ€"torn Syrian capital of Damascus where he said Frenchâ€" Arab fighting had caused "a seriâ€" ous loss of life and destruction of property." One of the most inexplicable outbreaks of vielence on record "Violent and bloody combat has gone on in Hama since 8 o‘clock this morning. _ â€" â€" British authorities have opened a small hospital in Damascus to deal with serious Syrian civilian casualties and have placed three ambulances at the disposal of the Syrian Red Cross. > While there is no estimate availâ€" able of the number killed, it is reâ€" liably reported that 200 Syrian ciâ€" vilians are in hospital. _ _ Terence Shore, the British enâ€" voy, travelling in an armored car, visited â€" President Kuwatly this morning. Shooting went on today in variâ€" ous parts of Damascus and urg;t reports were made by both the Briâ€" tish and United States ministers, working in close coâ€"operation, to their respective governments. The request }ad been refused by Mayor Meinzirger on the authority ef byâ€"law 2453, passed Sept. 24, 1934, which ~tates in part: "The ringing of F~.ls, blowing of horns, shouting or other unusual noises whien ure hearc t a public street or public olace or are calculated to disturb the inhabitants of the city are hereby prohibited . . ete." Mcst of the aldermen were in favor with the refusal, maintainâ€" ing since the byâ€"law exists, it should be hceded. Request For Use of Sound Truck Refused A letter from the L.P.P. protestâ€" ing the mayor‘s ruling said the action was a direct violation of the democratic right of free speech and that the right of sound trucks at factory meetings is recognized by almost every city. The party claimâ€" ed the mayor was utilizing a pubâ€" lic office to block the campaign of an opponent. Appearing on behalf of the letter, Hal Proctor, LP.P. candidate, said he was fully in favor of the antiâ€" noise clause of the byâ€"law but he didn‘t believe the bylaw was inâ€" tended to prevent factory gate meetings which, he submitted, conâ€" stituted one of the most democratic means of campaigning in an elecâ€" tion. nagan Valley," says another warâ€" rior, a sergeant in the RCAF in Britain. "But 1 am afraid that I may get there at a bad time when there is no money coming in. Will I have to live on the gratuity moâ€" ney till then, or is there a pension or something to tide me over till the crops begin to pay?" _ _ _ Take it easy, sergeant. You‘ll be all right and there won‘t be any digging into the gratuities. A grant while you are awaiting returns is provided for people like you who stegl into their own enterprises such as farming or small businessâ€" es. Under this arrangement, you get up to $50 a month if single, $70 a month if married, and more if you have dependent children, while you are awaiting cash crops from the farm. This money is not subtracted from your reâ€"establishâ€" men credits My guess is that you‘re right, Miss. There will be quite a numâ€" ber of young ladies who will be marrying soon after their sweetâ€" hearts come home from the wars. But since you feel you‘d like the 9 to 5 shift for a while, you will be interested to know that the Deâ€" partment of Labor has set up Emâ€" ployment and Selective A&tjviqe offices to help you find a {?b which suits you. These offices have speâ€" cial veterans‘ committees ready, willing, and able to give you a serâ€" vice which I‘m sure you‘ll find very helpful. Junior Farmers Organizing Clubs Due to the increasing interest beâ€" ing taken in club organization by Waterloo County‘s youths, several new clubs are in the initial stages of organization. Mr. Don Graham, assistant to E. I. McLoughry, agriâ€" cultural representative, reported that at least five calf clubs, one for each county have been planned. The county will also have two swine clubs, one in Wellesley i'l‘ownship and the other in Wilmot Township. _ _ _ Department of Agriculture an‘) nounced that the abnormally warm | weather in March followed by | frost and projonged rain, damaged and slowed development of fruit buds in Ontario &chanu Wet, cold weather retarded growth of den fields. Reseeding was held up C ns te y spraying â€" grams, apple orchards were in tl:;- ly good condition throughout Westâ€" ern Ontario with no insect or disâ€" ease damage reported. ,However, farmers were apprehensive for the crop because of adverse weather. lack of pollination and slow blosâ€" som development. In Eastern Onâ€" tario all varieties of apple, with the exception of Spy, were in full bloom, although pollination condiâ€" tions were poor. _ _Fruit and stem rot showed up in Crop prospects for other orchard crops were impossible to estimate although farmers anticipated a poor average crop of mches, plums and pears in most districts where frost damage was heavy. throughout the Province. Bloom commenced early in April, but bad weather during the past month caused injury to most orchards. _ Fair Apple Crop Despite Weather The Wellesley and the Woolwich Township clubs will be organized shortly. The Nith Valley Calf Club for Wilmot Township was organized at the Jutzi farm Tuesday with an initial enroiment of 17 members.

Plan Further Action In Kossuth Site Since it is now certain that the Kossuth airport site is the most suitable for ustablishing a mediumâ€" sized airport to serve both Waterâ€" loo North and Waterloo South, the Commission plaus to ask the fedâ€" eral Department of Tran?ort to provide an engineecing staff for an immedjate survey o" the site. Mr. Schneider. chairman. said 3,000â€" foot runways could be placed on the Kossuth site and the lay of the land was of a nature to allow for future expansion should such beâ€" come desirable. It is not believed the Governâ€" ment will consider anr actual conâ€" struction on the site for at least a year, regardless of its decision on the survey r%uest, continued Mr. Schneider. ‘"There are war probâ€" lems still to be solved." The longest runway at the city‘s airport now is 1,800 feet. In view of this and other limitations the airport receives only a temporary license for {irght aircraft and the port is restricted to day flying only. Chairman Schneider said the license was lifted recently pending trimming of maple trees bordering one end of the property. The tree trimming cost the commission $250. An airport the size suggested for the Kossuth site would handle tenâ€" passenger planes and small freight planes. The heart of an insect is a long tubular organ which lies along the Lack for the greater part of its length. The blood is admitted at the lower end and pumped forward within the tube by means of a series of simple chambers and valves. It is forced out at the head where it bathes the brain and then flows backward through the main body cavity, to be once more taken up by the heart.
