Globe and Mail: By way of preparaâ€" tion for a ring contest Jim Braddock, champion pugilist, is chopping down the trees about his training camp in Wisâ€" consin. This form of exercise may have been all right for Gladstone and the exâ€"Kaiser in this day; but, with forest conservation a live issue now, something should be done about this boxer‘s actiâ€" vities. ments which iare inflicted from May until August by flies and mosquitoes and of the suffering endured by the settlers particularly during practically all of the summer seascn. Last year Mrs. A. Burwash, of Ncranda, who lived for many years on the shores of Lake Temigramingue and knows from personal experience what those whos dwell in the country districts must enâ€" dure during the trying months of sumâ€" mer, started a mcovement towards supâ€" plyingz the settlers with fiyâ€"proo? maâ€" terial for dcoors and windows and afâ€" fording them scme protection from th» attacking armies of invaders infecting the North during the spring and sumâ€" mer months. New York Post: They say Mussolini made the trains run on time. In Spain the Loyalists have dore the same for his soldiers. the settlers. This Noranda lady, Mrs. A. Burwasn, thcugh of the idea of proâ€" tecting the settlers‘ wives and families from the summer curse of flies, mosqulâ€" toes, and so on. These pes‘s must {5rm a special hardship in the: settlers‘ hcomes, and Mrs. Purwash last year started a fcrm of material help that might well ke copilied by ctheors in the North whso wish ic make the life ofi the settler= families a little eagier.

THURSDAY, APRIL 18TH, 1937 10. (7)â€"Every person adjusting a claim agairst a fire insurance company in a municipality having an organized fire department shall, where such fire department has not been summoned to or attended at the fire giving rise to such claim, by notice in writing advise the chief of such fire department of the occurrence of such fire. A number of important amsncdments to the Fire Marshal‘s Act were passed at the session of the Ontario Legislaâ€" ture just concluded, the amendments receiving the Royal Assent on March 25th, and coming into effect sixty days after that date. As far as the insurante companies are concerned, one of the most iinportant amendments was the addition of subâ€"section 7 to secton 10 of the Fire Marshal‘s Act, reading as follows: The reason for this is that fairly freâ€" qvently fires occur to which the fire department ‘has not been called and the claim is adjusted without the fire department ever hearing about the fire or being able to take any steps to preâ€" vent a recurrence from the same cause. Several instances were found where serious fires had resulted from the same cause as an earlier fire which had not ‘been reported to the fire departâ€" ment, and this provision will enable the fire chief to take the necessary fire prevention measures. The notice to be given by the independent adjust:r, comâ€" pany adjuster or agent adjusting the loss need not be on any special form as long as it is in writing. Important Amendment: to the Fire Marshall‘s Act The inspection powers of the Fire Marshal and staff and fire chiefs under the fire prevention provisions of Secâ€" tion 20 of the Fire Marshal‘s Azct have had some clerical errors corrected and also additional authority given to orâ€" der the installation of safeguards ky way of fire extinguishers and fire Some doubt had been cast upon the authority of the Inspectors from the Fire Marshal‘s Office to take evidence â€" Marshallâ€"Ecclestone Limited Telephone 229 Showrooms, 7 Third Ave. Timmins, Ont. under ocath which has always been the practice in â€"years past and is one of the very important phases of the inâ€" vestigation of suspicious fires. . This doubt has now been removed by speciâ€" fically giving Inspectors the power to subpoena witnesses and to take eviâ€" den:cs> under oath. New Sheriff Appointed for County of Pontiac Sudbury Eating . Places Boost the Price of Meals Claiming that the increased cost of foodstuffs make it absolutely necessary, Sudbury cafes and restaurants have boosted prices of meals five to ten cents. In the cafes catering to the cheaper trade with meals at 25 cents the price has been put up to 35 cents. The 35 cent cafes are now charging 40 cents. (Rouynâ€"Noranda Press) The polititcal axe has fallen on Domâ€" iniz Sloan, for the past five years sheriff of Pontiac county, announteâ€" ment being made this week that he has removed from office, and Charles Pelec, exâ€"M.P., named to succeed him. Mr. Slican is one of the most popular residents of the lower section of Ponâ€" tiac, his home being at the village of Vinton.. Always active in politics as a Liberal, he was appointed sheriff by the Taschereau government in 1932. It is perhaps not surprising that the preâ€" sent government should make a change in the office, and ‘this was probably exâ€" pected by Mr. Sloan himself. The new sheriff, Charles Belec, who cperates a fine farm near Fort Coulogne, was Conâ€" servative representative of the const!â€" tuency during the term of the Bennet zgcvernment, being elected in a threeâ€" cornered contest against the late Frank Cahill, Liberal, and J. P. Cote, of Rcuyn, independent Liberal, in 1930, on a minority vote. Both the former sheriff and his sudcessor are well known and well regarded in the North.

Oklanoma, he didn‘t know wheâ€" ther he had been stewed cr not, that he had never been drunk before. it." In The Ottawa Journal on Monday of this week there was a reference to R. A. McInnis, now head of the Angloâ€" Canadian Pulp and Paper Co.. but years ago manager of the Abvitioi Power and Paper Co. at Iroquois Falls before that company went into amailgamations that made it unwieldy. Mr. Mcinnis, as manager of the Abitibi Co., butlt up that enterprise until it was an â€" oulâ€" standing example of what a corporation shculd be. Mr. McInnis was noted for his effective intelligente in the treatâ€" nient cof employees. At the same.time, despite the multiplicity of his> duties and ‘interests, he: found occasion : to give much valuable service in public snd semiâ€"public enterprises. For several s cars Mr. McInnis was president of the Ncrthern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade and in that capasity did notable work in the interests of the North. "You were drunk," pronounced Hatch "Five dcollars and costs." "Recently honoured by reâ€"celection as president of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Asscciation, R. A. MciInnis, general manager of the Angloâ€"Canaâ€" dian Pulp and Paper Mills, Limited, has played an important part in the steady return to prosperity being made by cne of Canada‘s greatest industries. The following is the sketcth of Mr. McInnis, as appearing in The Joumnal on Monday:â€" "In seven years his services were in demand.â€"He accepted an offer from the Belgoâ€"Canadian Pulp and Paper Comâ€" pany in 1907, remaining with thnai conâ€" cern until 1914 when he joeined, the service of the Abitibi Power and Paper Company as assistant to the president.

He was pres:â€" dent of the Northern Ontario Boards of Trade from 1922 to 1924, and viceâ€" president of the Ontario Associated Ecards‘cof Trade from 1924 to 1926. "Mr.‘ McInnis stands out as one of the : ‘bestâ€"informed men in the ~pulp and paper industry on the Northn American continent.

He is one of the most active and enterprising figures in the pulp and paper:â€"industry in Canada." "Yeah," sighed the prisoner, "that‘s British Scientists Hope for Flu Vaccine It was after a ferret with the flue sneezed in Dr. Harris‘ face that the scientists wore able to transmit flu from a feret to a human being "providâ€" ing the important link completing the chain of evidence for the identity of the virus maintained and studied for over two years in ferrets as the cause of inâ€" fluenza." But much remains to be disscovered. The report stated that substantial proâ€" gre«s had been made by Dr. Christopher Howard Andrewes and Dr. Wilson Smith of the institute "toward the preoduction of a vaccine of sufficient potency and purity to be tested for its value in immunizing the human subâ€" ject." Mice Transmit Virus By successive passages through mice, 2 virus of such potency has been cbâ€" tained that the filtrate from the lungs of infécted mice is able to infect anâ€" cther mouse in a solution of one in 10,000,000. The have found that this virus can be made completely nonâ€" infective wi‘hcut appreciable loss of antigenic value, by treatment with very weak {ormaldehyde.

Such inactivation is necsessary if preâ€" vention of the flu in human beings is ultimately obtained by aid of a killed virus. The report stated that it would ka "dangersusly premature" as yet to icltempt tso estimate the prcjability of the success of such methods in practical preventive treatment of human beings. The reascn: Experiments on immunâ€" izing proporties of virus from ferrets wihen injecsted into mice, and vice versa, have indicated that the virus is less effective in immunizing animals of othâ€" er spevies than that from which the material has been obtained. It is obâ€" vicus that the virus used in preparing a suzcessful vatcine for use in human medicine must be cbtained by growth in ncnâ€"human tissue, and the degree 0f:immunity to be expected under these conditions is still a matter of doubt. Years of work by the British Nationâ€" al Institute for Medical Research have. It has been demonstrated, however, that virus from an infected mouseâ€"lung, or from a culture on chicken embryo, will newly evoke the,specific neutralâ€" izing antibedy in the bleod cof a human subject, or orcduce an increase of thn:s artibody if it is already present. But the docstors do ntct knew yet whether the amount of circulating antibody thus produced will eccnfer a sufficient deâ€" gree of resistance to naturally acquired infection. Even if the use of the vaccine shoeuld be found to produce such reâ€" sistance as an immediate effect, further evidence ~as to the duration of the protective action will be required for any assessment of the practical value of the method.
