THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COtBQRNE, ONT., JULY 13, 1944 Pruritis-lntense Itching Relieved quickly by this Medicinal Ointment There are two forms of itching which are especially distressing. First pruritis vulvae-- from which only women suffer and second pruritis ani--itching at the rectum from piles, pin worms or varicose veins. The causes of both these forms of intense itching are often difficult to locate but what you do want, at once, is relief from the severe and depressing itching. Then let Dr. Chase's OINTMENT help you for it brings relief almost as quickly as applied. Once used it will always be kept at hand for quick use when the need arises. 60 cts. a box.

Dr. Chase's Ointment OTTAWA REPORTS Good Wheat Crop For Present Year In Sight In Canada And United States Apprehension regarding wheat supplies for the present crop year* have been largely dispelled according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics survey of June 30. A billion bushel crop is in sight in the United States": and the outlook in Canada is promising though it is too early to interpret Canadian conditions in terms of bushels. Substantial increase in acreage and maintenance of present crop prospects in the prairie provinces, however, could only mean better than average production. Both countries will have sizeable carry-over stocks of old wheat on July 31 when the current crop year closes. The southern hemisphere countries of Australia and Argentina are now seeding their new wheat crops, with both expecting to show increase in acreage over last year. British growers are reported to have seeded three million acres, or nearly double the prewar average. Prospects in neutral countries, principally Eire, Spain, Portugal and Turkey are favorable, though Spain and Portugal are likely to remain on an import basis for 1944-45. The position of occupied countries also appears favorable with the possible exception of Romania. The harvest in North Africa is believed to have yielded a fair surplus which can probably be diverted to Italy. The southern Italian crop will also be available to the United Nations instead of the Nazis. : to the There is a further food supplies of the Nazis this year with the Allies driving up through northern Italy where a large crop is usually produced, and now attacking in France, where harvest has commenced in the southern areas. In India where a wheat crop of about 387 million bushels has recently been gathered, there still appears to be a shortage. Conditions are not as critical as last year but it is expected that im- The Agricultural Supplies Board vill pay 20c a bag for dried pods if milkweed floss, collections begin-ling the first or second week of September.

No milkweed leaves are being collected this year. WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Sound And Sight Our sensfe of sound is sometimes dependent on our sense of sight. Since steamboats became numerous in the harbors of the world ship captains have communicated back and forth with each other by means of blasts of the .ships' whistles. With the increased number of Diesel motor ships in use, a problem developed. The mortor ships used air whistles instead of steam whistles. Consequently their whistle blasts were accompanied by no billowing plumes of steam. Since the steam could not be seen, ships' captains had no way of knowing which of perhaps a half dozen motor ships anchored in the same general vicinity might be signalling. John Hays Hammand, one of the most prolific of* American inventors, seeks to provide-the motor ship with a visual, as well as an auditory signal. He has devised a gadget that will spray white powder into the air each time the air whistle is sounded. Thus it will be possible to "see" the sound as well as hear it. We hope the designers of the streamlined Diesel trains will take advantage of Mr. Hammond's invention. The train whistles mean a lot to those who dwell in* the sparsely, inhabited, portions of our country. Germany Loses Portugal's Wolfram Germany recently was deprived of her last major source of wolfram--source of steel-hardening tungsten -- by Portugal's decision to stop all exports to Germany and to shut down her wolfram mines immediately.

Veteran of this, and the last war, Maurice Thorburn, 39, aircraft worker of MacDonald Brothers, Winnipeg, Man., can do an imitation of Hitler that will pass in any strong light. Shortly after he joined the Royal Canadian Engineers in Sept. 1939, he gave a pre-view for high ranking military men "which went over with a bang. New to theatrical work, he found himself in demand at army entertainments. And when he went overseas in 1940, he "executed" Hitler for the troops at Alder-shot. Returned to Canada in 1942, he joined MacDonald Brothers' Aircraft Ltd., where he is procurement supervisor. In the last war the served with the Royal Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1.
