THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., OCT. 27, 1938 NAMES in the NEWS MARGARET (PUDDIN') ESSON Margaret (Puddin') Esson, golfing sensation of the Canadian women's open championship who hails from Rosetown, Sask., and who ! celebrated her 17th birthday in May, never had a golf lesson in her life. Asked how she came to take | up the game she told the Ottawa Journal: "Oh, I just started fooling around with a club when I was 12. I only had one club then, an old number two iron, and one day I told my brother Bill, who's a good golfer, that I had gone around our nine-hole course at home in 53. Only Seventeen "He didn't believe at first I had done the nine holes in 53 with a two-iron, but I made him believe me, all right. Father's not such a good golfer but he understands my game and if I've had a teacher he's the only one. I've never taken a lesson in my life." "Puddin' " reached the quarter finals of the tourney before bowing to Mrs. A. B. Walker, a member of the British Curtis Cup team. Her on the first nine holes of her match with Mrs. Walker and went down to a four and two defeat. Hunting Deer Requires Skill There hardly is a more popular big game animal with hunters than the whitetailed deer. Where there is adequate forage of the right kind, these animals are to be found in good numbers, and over a widespread area. They are keen witted, crafty, and call for real skill on the part of the hunter in pursuing them successfully. In a region where they are hunted extensively, the deer exercise uncanny intelligence in eluding their enemies. While they are able to see at some distance, particularly strange movements, they depend mostly upon their sense of smell and hearing to warn them of approaching danger. The hunter must proceed against the wind to get within firing range, if still-hunting, and he must learn how to walk through the woods as noiselessly as possible, and without making quick motions, if he is to bag a prize buck. He must not cough, talk to his companions, or smoke while stalking the wary whitetails. The most favorable conditions, of course, are when the leaves are off I the trees, the ground is wet or covered with a good tracking snow, and there is no wind blowing. But we can't always pick the best times for our hunts, so must rely upon skill and a knowledge of the habits of the deer to secure our trophies. 1 Makes oil." 1 Radiate! ■ Coleman 1 RADIANT HEATER Brightening Up Garden Corners Partition Off Neglected Bits And Make Each One a Thing Of Beauty One of the changes most frequently wanted is to enlarge the garden. Such a move, however, is best not made without careful consideration. It is not wise to add a "new room" until the existing one is so well furnished and arranged that maintenance time saved will be sufficient to build and furnish the additional one. Where enlarging is out of the question or deemed inadvisable, the existing garden often may be made more interesting by "partitioning off" certain nooks, or enclosing a. neglected corner, just as we make the attic into a room. Such nooks or compartments, divided by small hedges, and used as special places for special things, will increase the element of wonder, and surprise, which even familiarity will not wholly destroy. An artist said of a certain house: "I like it because the outside appearance does not betray what is inside," and the same thought expresses a garden quality. Simplicity in design need not be obviousness. Over-Eating Is Dangerous One of Chief Causes of High Blood Pressure--Leads to The Grave Almost everybody eats too much and the path of over-eating "leads but to the grave." Over-eating is one of the chief causes of high blood pressure. As one grows older the blood vessels lose their resiliency and become less elastic and more brittle. If one then runs for a train, gets violently angry or does anything else to make the heart beat faster, the extra strain on the blood vessels is likely to break them and one has a "stroke," or apoplexy. To live long and keep healthy, one should take exercise in moderation, avoid rich foods and too much food, and keep the blood stream healthy, by living largely on a diet of milk, eggs, cheese, and whole grains, also fruits and vege- healthful heat.

Left Hand, Right Hand Over in Dover, New Jersey, the town's poplation of 11,000 "will cease all activity on Friday in a one-minute prayer for world peace." The bulk of the town's industry is centred in "huge munitions plants." Contradictions like that are the things that keep the public mind in a constant state of bewilderment in these times. People making munitions of war -- and praying for peace! And beyond any doubt, their prayers are sincere. It is all so bizarre, so fantastic, so utterly incomprehensible. The unreality of it is "real" only to megalomaniacs and would-be "Napoleons" who rule by fear and force.

The report presents findings gleaned from supervised farm accounting on 780 dairy farms which was conducted during the yeaj ""project covers alTdairfing sectii of Ontario extending as far north as Sault Ste. Marie, from Essex county in the southwest to the Quebec border in the east. Compare Returns For Labor The report indicates that the crop season is an important factor in successful dairying and that those milk producers residing in areas which suffered from the drought for the crop year in question secured on the average discouraging net incomes. The operators' labor earnings which represent the farm operator's return for his labor and management plus the value of the family living secured from the farm for the several areas were as follows: Toronto $333, Windsor-Chatham $881, London-Brantford $660, Hamilton-Niagara $378, Owen Sound-Peterborough-Osbawa $355. St. Lawrence Towns $560, Ottawa $1,295, Sudbury-North Bay $768, Western Condensery $329, Eastern Condensery $691, Western Cheese $696. St. Lawrence Cheese $265, Ottawa Valley Cheese $472, and the Cream Shippers $572. The value of the family living ranged from $309 per farm in the Eastern Condensery zone to $430 in the London-Brantford zone. Milk Cost The feed cost is the largest single item of milk cost amounting from 48 to 58 per cent, of the gross cost. Labor also is important accounting for 20.6 per cent, of the gross cost in the Windsor-Chatham area to 30.8 per cent, in the Sudbury-North Bay zone. We're the World's Best Fed People British Nutrition Expert Says So --Plenty of Milk Consumed Here Belief Canadians 'are the best^ fed people in the world," was expressed at Langstaff, Ontario, last week by Sir Edward Mellanby, the secretary-general of England's medical research council. "If you are not, you are at least very near it," he said. Chief reason for bad teeth in England is probably because not enough milk is drunk, he said. Milk is pasteurized in London and except for there the milk supply is not very good in England. "Poverty" is another reason for the low consumption of milk he said. Sir Edward stayed at the farm home of Dr. F. F. Tisdall near Laug-staff. about 10 miles north of Tor Sure Norsemen First Settlers Editor of Sault Daily Star Finds New Support for his Belief That They were Earliest Whites to Set Foot on North America New and important evidence that Norse adventurers were the first white men to set foot on North America will be made public soon, J. W. Curran, publisher of the Sault Daily Star, said in an article in the Star. He and two other investigators repared to report that three relics were actually found in Beardmore, in northwest- in 1935 by James E. Dodd of Port Arthur, who sold them to the Royal Ontario Museum. Prove Weapons Found Here Mr. Curran said he investigated with little hope at first that the weapons could be proven to have been found in Ontario. He was assisted by Judge Alexander McCom-ber, senior judge of the Thunder Bay District, and Dr. George E. Ea-kins, of Port Arthur. The relics sold by Dodd, a railway conductor and amateur prospector, were proven of the 11th Century but their discovery in Ontario was disputed. Dodd said he dug them up while prospecting for gold. 400 Years Before Columbus The Sault publisher said: "I accept Mr. Dodd as a truthful man, and so accept his story as true and o There my mind but that he found the Norse relics where he says he did." Mr. Curran asserted the newly-gathered evidence might possibly prove that Norse sailors came to Ontario by James Bay before the year 1100, or 400 years be "ore Columbus crossed the Atlantic and reached Lake Nipigon by way of the Albany and Kenogami rivers. Revenue Rise In Dominion Customs, Excise, Income Taxes Yield More Than Last Year Revenue collected from customs, excise and income tax for the six-month period, April 1 to September 30, 1938, was $263,132,899, Revenue Minister Ilsley announced at Ottawa last week.

News Parade By Elizabeth Eedy THE FIGHTING SPIRIT--If more people were like her, Adolf Hitler's aggressions in Central Europe would have been stopped long ago. A septuagenarian lady of dauntless spirit who lives in an Ontario town and is respected by all its inhabitants listened to Hitler's Berlin speech (as we all did). She had not hearkened long to the hysterical mouthings of the dictator before a furious anger against him rose up in her. She kicked the radio, and kicked it hard. The loudspeaker was damaged to the extent of $3.75. Something went wrong with the power lines outside of her house and the town will be presenting her with the bill, Nevertheless the lady insists the kick was worth it. WHITHER FRANCE? -- It looks now as if France, once the strongest democracy on the Continent of Europe, is to be relegated to the role of a second-rate power. How else could you interpret her present position? Just four years ago France counted her European allies and friends on both hands: Belgium, Czechoslovakia. Poland, Rumania, Yugoslavia, Soviet Russia, Greece, Turkey. British friendship was assured. Germany was well encircled. Today French statesmen admit privately that their country is dependent solely on Britain's goodwill for her future. This i of 1 , Fra 5 in- stead of Germany is encircled. At her back door she has insurgent Spain with its hostile airdromes only a few miles from the border. In the Mediterranean she faces the threat of the Italian fleet cutting her off from her reserves in North Africa. In the east her "impregnable" Maginot line of defense against Germany is built on the same engineering principles as the Czech fortifications whose secrets the Germans now possess. Nothing seems to be left for to I to LAST IN EUROPE--la Adolf Hitler's speech to the world September 26, he declared that the Sudeten areas were the last territorial demand he world make in Europe.

Welsh Nationalists who want their minority problem taken up; by Prime Minister de Valera of Eire who wants a plebiscite in certain areas of Northern Ireland. If such were held, Mr. de Valera believes, four of the six counties of Ulster--Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Antrim, Londonderry--would wish to join Eire (formerly the Irish Free State). Mr. de Valera must have had his tongue in his cheek when he said that "Ireland cannot be left out of any general settlement of the minority problem in Europe." Interested In Election David A.

Sees Closer Union With the States Premier Hepburn Predicts That In Era to Come Canada end the U. S. Will be Drawn Closer Together A closer union between Canada and the United States arising from the struggle of European countries to become self-sustaining was envisioned by Premier Hepburn. Mr. Hepburn told the America a Transit Association that Japan, Italy and Germany revealed in the recent world crisis they had serious designs upon the rest of the world, seeking to make themselves self-sustaining at the expense of other countries. Becoming Self-Contained Canada and the United States never had feared invasion, but they should give serious thorght to becoming self-contained. Both "wonderful countries", they were peopled by the same people who had provided the necessary material to maintain free democracies.
