Street, British farmer, author and lecturer at the luncheon meeting of the Royal Winter Fair Association, the Canadian Club and the Emp‘re Club. During a per‘od of troublous times, Mr. Street pointed out, Britain faces the important task of maintaining a sound agricultural industry, to provide her with foodstuffs "if and when the world goes mad." Yet, he said, at the same time Britain exâ€" pects that when war breaks out Canâ€" ada will continue to send products to Britain. For this reason, he said, British farmers recognize the imâ€" portance of Canadian agriculture, but hope that Canadians will recognize the necessity of British agriculture being maintained and preserved as vital to Britain‘s future. KINGSTONâ€"There are lots of spreading chestnut trees but there aron‘t enough blacksmiths. The tragedy of the profession, or trade, as you will, is that there isn‘t enough young blood in it. That‘s what J. J. Taugher of Kingston says. In fact he said it at the convention of the Master Horseshoers and Carriage Workers‘ Association held at the City Hall. This gathering brought out 20 delegates and there was even the question of whether the Association should continue or not. _ Eventually it decided to carry on. But it‘s like Mr. Taugher said. There are very few apprentices learning the trade. "In fact," said he, "I visited over 35 shops and most of the men in them were between 60 and 70 years o‘!d. CALGARY â€"â€" Thousands of cubic feet of helium gas, suitable for dirigibles such as Germany‘s giant Hindenburg, destroyed at Lakehurst, N.J., recently, are lost daily in waste gas flares which consume more than 200,000,000 cubic feet of gas in Turner Valley oi! fie‘lds. In 1911 Professor J. C. McLennan, of Toronto, crected an experimental plant in Calgary, and some helium, reported 98 per cent pure, was exâ€" tracted from Bow Island gas. The plant was closed during the war and production of helium was never realized on a commerc‘al scale. It is believed some of the new wells now drilling may uncover gas flows richer in helium so that an exâ€" traction plant would prove comâ€" mercially feasible. In fact the members of this ancient profession are worried. For it looks as if the mighty men will soon be as exiinct as hoopâ€"skirts, shaving mugs and magle lanterns. In only a few were there men unâ€" der 40 years. He thought that the S‘nce gas was discovered here there have been proposals from time to time to erect a plant to extract the helivum, and since the destruction of the Hindenburg the subject has been again to the fore. A Dominion Government report a few years ago disclosed that helium content of Turner Valley gas was only threeâ€"tenths of one per cent and experts say that a one per cent content is necessary for economical extraction.

He figured that there were so few apprentices because the smithies were not making sufficient money. The convention adopted a motion to petition the Government to set a standard for all blacksmiths who inâ€" tend opening their own shops, and to ask for the reg‘stration of all present shops. ning to reach Halfax in their 21â€"foot rowboat within eight months, three Edmonton youths, Jack Peters, Anton Glaser and Fred Peters, rowed cast down the North Saskatchewan River this week, after passing through here on the first leg of their inlandsâ€"water odyssey from the Alberta Capital. five thousand letters from all parts of the world were included in the first flight of the new Primce George to Fort St. James, Takla Landing and Manson Creek Air Mail Service, post office officials of this Northern British Columb‘la town estimated. It is the first air mail to fly regularly to the isolated points in the northern part of the Province. Food Prises Rise SASKATOON â€"Price of food in Saskatoon rose 17 per cent between last November and May 13 and 26 per cent since November, 1935, acâ€" cording to figures presented by the Central Council of Unemployed to the Young Men‘s Section of the Board of Trade. The Council asked for an increase in relief grants for fcod because of the rise in prices. Claims Farmers Shoct Dogs WILLOWDALEâ€"H. R. Bain, Toâ€" ronto stock broker, appealed to the North York Township Council this week to rescind a byâ€"law under which he c‘aimed farmers were permitted to shoot dogs found roaming on their property. "There are many instances of wanton cruelty, some where dogs are apparently deliberately wounded and then left to die in agony," he deâ€" clared. The Clerk pointed out that there was no township byâ€"law perâ€" mitting such shooting. "It is perâ€" m‘ssible under a Provincial statute," he announced, and the matter was dropped as the Council lacked jurisâ€" diction. Among other suggestions were a more vigorous policy of tax collecâ€" tion and investigation of the city manager plan of administration. SUDBURYâ€" Thousands of tent caterpillars, apparently "tired of it all" because trees have been stripped by their predecessors, are joining in mass suicide in this district, . They are "marching" over the rocks along the shore on the south side of Lake Ramsay, continuing the parade into the water, where they are swept away by the waves. Richard Prior of Toronto was elected president of the association. Other officers are: first viceâ€"presiâ€" dent, F. E. Gilroy, South Mountain; 2nd viceâ€"pres‘dent, W. G. Cameron, Falbrook; 3rd viceâ€"president, James J. Taugher, Kingston; treasurer, Don MacLean, Toronto; and secretary, Edward Kearney, Macintosh Mills. WINNIPEGâ€" Taxes should be levied against occupants of property, whether owner or lessee, and the basis should be rental value rather than the present system based on capital value, the Winnipeg Board of Trade said this week in making recommendations for improvement of the city‘s financial position. First Air Mail PRINCE GEORGE, B.C.â€"Thirtyâ€" Start Boat Trip PRINCE ALBERT, Sask.â€" Planâ€" Urged Property Taxed People are spending money again and travel agencies are looking forâ€" ward to one of the heaviest summer season in several years. That the rush has already begun is evident from the experience of one honeymoon couple who found is almost impossible to book passage for the West Indies cruise for the month of July. Travelâ€" lers to the Continent say that Transâ€" atlantic bookings are almost as hard to secure. Not only have bookings increased but the travel people say that the class of accommodation sought this year is better. The big demand of the season is the "all expense cruise" and this the agencies are offering to all places and at all prices. Since the Coronaâ€" tion, the big European attraction has been the Paris Exposition. . Dogged from the beginning with persistent labor troubles, the big show is now open and the last buildings are rapâ€" idly nearly completion, Steamship and railroad rates, while slightly higher are not much changâ€" ed. Hotel rates are rising, however. According to one authority, the traâ€" veller will pay 7% more for accoâ€" mmodation this year than last while those who haunt the summer resorts will find prices up 15%. While most of us are looking for an increase in the weekly pay cheque as a reflection of the better times, we can hardly expect to be so blessed as some people were last week. As for example, the Torontonians who won $85,000 on Midday Sun, winner of this year‘s English Derby.

Doliar Empire Those money barons who are still alive appear to have adopted the motâ€" to, "What we have, we hold". _ At least, that is something of the inferâ€" ence taken from J. P. Morgan‘s comâ€" ment on the tax laws." If Congress makes stupid mistakes which leave loopholes in the law, it is up to Conâ€" gress to remedy them, not for us taxâ€" payers". Smiling, Morgan continued by saying that he had not incorporatâ€" ed his yacht as a method of tax evasâ€" ion because he "did not think it worth while." Edward wants to live in Austria.

Superstition failed to save the life of General Emilio Mola, Spanish inâ€" surgent commander in charge of the siege of Bilbao, The general was once told that he would die with his boots on.

Professor Biagia Divenuti, who at the start of his talk admitted he was afraid he was beginaing a "littUe World War" all of his own, declared that women are responsible for 90 per cent of the confusion in contemporâ€" ary business, and that without woâ€" men, business would be free of the effects of the business cycle.

She declared that the confusion the women cause in the business world by their constant desire for changing styles; and other similar tastes, was basically caused by women‘s desire to please men. Professor D‘ivenuti, whose talk was entitled "The Woman Pays â€" But Why Should She?" said that women controlled 70 per cent of the private wealth in the United States, were beneficiaries of 80 per cent of the life insurance policics, inherit 75 per cent of the estates probated, ho!ld title to €C5 per cent of the savings acâ€" counts, 40 per cent of the realestate of the country, and 44 per cent of the public utility stocks. night flyers, are much misunderâ€" stood and victims of much unfoundâ€" ed superstition.
