Canadians Will Suffer Loss Ground Ginger From Spanish Revolt Civil War Hits This 'Commodity and ; Our Export Trade In Auto- mobiles and Parts The Spanish civil war will cost Canada over two million dollars in lost trade and will seriously affect two main divisions, the importation of ground ginger and the exporta- tion of automobiles and parts, ac- cording to government trade ob- Servers. Our total trade with Spain has been on the upgrade for the last five years and in 1935 reached a figure of over four million dollars, about 70 per cent. of which was exports. Observers say that this trade will be cut in half, although we may salvage some of the export end of the business through in- creased demand for nickel, scrap iron and other commodities of war. A dispatch from (London claims that the world supply of ergot, a valuable drug used in childbirth to prevent loss . of flood _ through hemorrhage, will be reduced to a dangerous level by the war. Can- ada last year imported some $300 worth of this drug from Spain, but undoubtedly will be able to supple- ment its demand with increased purchases in the United States. Canada will suffer most in the loss of a supply of ground ginger as Spain is our most important source of supply. Importations of ginger from Spain have been stea- dily on the increase since the mark of 100,000 pounds was reached in 1981 and last year Canada import- ed over 160,000 pounds at a valu- ation of $22,599. The next largest source of supply, the United King- dom, sent us only 15,081 pounds last year. From this we may ex- pect a shortage of spice cakes in the future while ginger ale manu- facturers will have to pay a geod bit more for one of their principal raw materials. As far as domestic business goes, the automobile trade will suffer most, losing a market for over 'two million dollars worth of autome- biles and parts. Spain was alsé a small exporter to the Dominion of wines, olive oil, perfumes and fer- tilizers, although loss of this trade will have no serious effects this year. 2 Nothing at All!

In the three prairie provinces speci- al drought revisions are going on, and the operations of the Farmers' Creditors Arrangement Act are dealing with individual cases. No accurate totals are available, but it is apparent that reductions in the debt-burden of farmers in the west will exceed $150,000,000. through the work of the debt adjustment act in Alberta and similar legislation in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, includ- ing, of course, the voluntary reduc tions which some creditors made before any legislation was passed. Though the Farmers' Creditors Arrangement Act was passed as an emergency measure with: the farm- ers of the west especially in mind, it has been used almost as much by the farmers of Ontario and Que- bee. There are about 750,000 farm operators in all Canada, so it is in- teresting to note that since the act was passed (up to Sept. 1st this vear) a total of (120,018 farmers had approached the official receivers appointed under the act, to see if relief could be secured Many cases are still being settled But up to that date a total of :14,- 588 settlements had been reached, whereby farmers made a new deal with their creditors and started again. Of these 6,057 were the re- sult of voluntary agreement be- tween the farmer and his creditors: the remainder could mot be settled in this way, and had to be sent on to the provincial boards of review, which then made an arbitrary settlement, whereby the total debt was to be reduced so much, the se- cured creditors cutting their share and the unsecured creditors theirs, in the sums decided upon, with the reductions in interest which the Board of Review approved. Millions Cut From Debt The Farmers' (Creditors Act had, up to Sept. 1st, dealt with farm debt totally $91,320,880. Before they had finished they slashed $27,396,- 264. from this principal sum, and in addition cut the annual interest payments on the remainder by $2,188,200 per year, through reduc- tions in rates. Although the Act has proved use- ful for thousands of farmers across the country who were struggling along under an intolerable load of debt, there are requests now aris- ing that it be repealed. Farmers are finding that it cuts both ways, and that so long as it remains on the statute books it is difficult to bor- row new money from the banks or other lending companies. There is some talk at Ottawa of the act being repealed at the end of the present crop year (July 31st, 1987), if farm prices and conditions are such to warrant it then. Pos- sibly it will, but a good deal will depend on the views of federal members in the farming areas as expressed in paprliament next ses- sion and privately to the govern- ment. Re Healthier Farm Finances The improvement of farm prices on the one hand and the gradual reduction of farm debt burdens on the other is having a healty effect excent in those areas where the crop was destroyed by drought or other factors. The buying power of the Canadian farm as a whole will be considerably larger this year than for a long time. There is, of course, a desperate amount of catch- ing up to do in essential repairs and equipment before the average far- mer will have any spare cash. Defence is a matter of growing importance even in Canada. It hard- ly seems possible that Canada is go- ing to launch out on a program of armanent including destroyers and even warships. There are conflict- ing accounts about our intentions. What seems much more likely is that a rather ambitious aireraft and training scheme of a semi-militaris- tic nature will be started. Canada could justify much larger expendi- tures on aviation than she is mak- ing at present without being accus- sed of getting militaristic Some military authorities say that train- ing for peace and training for war--in the air--are quite different things. but the government will probably take the view that if Can- ada had a corps of keen young civil LOCALS and PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Mr. Arthur Long has for some time entertained the idea that he possesses an even temperament but he found that when he essayed to erect a long string of stovepipes on Monday that there were times when the most even of tempers here and there in this district got slightly out of control in similar circumstances recently and much to the detriment of fingers, stovepipes and mi-lady's floors.

The municipal elections in Osgoode Township take place in the first week in December and the municipal pot is beginning to simmer.

The curling club is rushing work on the erection of 'their new building which, when opened to the public, will house two rinks. The founda- tion and sides have been completed and in a short time work will be started on the covering or roofing of the structure. Local labor has been used and a goodly number of mem- bers have given of their time and money in this worthwhile endeavour. When completed the local curlers will have a club fully equipped and second to none in rural centres. The tax collector reports that in the west end of the township there is less outstanding taxes than last year. For the past three years the arrears approximate $8,000. This year they have been reduced by about $2,000. This means that times are picking up as the tax- payers have paid into the township treasury more than a full year's taxes. This is encouraging because it clearly shows that the basic in- dustry, agriculture, is slowly but surely regaining lost ground or ad- justing itself automatically. That there are a number of farmers who are carrying such a heavy that re- covery is impossible, or practically so, is only too true but their number is decreasing rapidly.

Old Druid Spirits Will Roam Again On Saturday Night Hallowe'en Is Universal Celebration ducking, and the distribution of applpes as gifts at this festive time The Canadian 'boys who go from house to house asking for Hallow- e'en apples are doing exactly what little boys in other countries did three thousand years ago. When Adam. was appointed to dress the garden of Eden and to keep it «(Genesis 11, 15), the apple was fated to be of overwhelming significance to the whole human race. In this connection, the legend of the Apples of Paradise figured in the lore of ancient Egypt some 5,000 years: ago. These apples were said to show in their lop-sided shape the outline where Eve had taken a generous bite. In this {Egyptian lore, there was mention of other apples, the apples of Ist- kahar, all sweetmess on one side and bitterness on the other. In modern times, in the production of various kinds of apples, Canadian scientists have been and are in the forefront of world research. In the Christian church, Hallow e'en or All Hallows Eve is the name given to the eveming of the 31st of October as the vigil of Hallowmass, or All Saints Day. Before the 'Christian era, however, the eve of the 31st of October was the occasion of harvest and other ceremonies in various countries. The festivities which gradually gathered round the 'Christian Hallowe'en originated for the most part in countries under the sway of the Druid religion, notably Britain, plus a few indoor celebra- tions borrowed from the pagan Ro- man festival to the goddess of fruit premier position in Hallowe'en festi- vities, particularly in Canada, pumpkin pie is also held in high es- teem. At the same time there are other pumpkin delicacies, for ex- ample, pumpkin chips - : pumpkin, in the making of which at Hallowe'en tinte the following recipes may be found useful: . HONEY PUMPKIN PIE = honey, 1-3 te~szoen ginger, 1-3 tea- Spoon cinnamon, 1 egg, 1% cups milk. pd Press the pumpkin through a fine Beat well. Add well-beaten eggs; then the milk.

Pumpkin custard is excellent for children and may be served when pie is served to adults. For the custard, use the above recipe, omitting the spices. Bake in custard cups.

EASTMAN of Harvest Joyousness and Pleasant Mischief The two chief characteristics of ancient Hallowe'en were the ligat- ing of bonfires and the belief that Hallowe'en was the only night of the year in which ghosts, warlocks, witches, imps of the earth and air, and evil spirits were permitted to wander on earth. On the 1st of November the Druids held their great fall festival and lighted fires to the sun-god in thanksgiving for harvest. It was a firm belief in the religion of the Druids that on the eve of this festival, Saman, lord of death, called together the wicked souls that had been condemned within the past twelve months to inhabit the bodies of animals. With regard to this belief it is interesting to note that in parts of Ireland, the 3lst of October was, and even still is, known as Oidhche Shamhna, the vigil of Saman. [In 'Scotland, bonfires, otherwise knowr as baalfires, still are part of Hal- lowe'en celebrations, a relic of the worship of Baal. Some cynics declare that the evil spirits of wold Druidical times still exist in the shape of thoughtless youths who overstep the mark of pure fun at Hallowe'en and cause injury to persons and damage to property. The pumpkin as a Jack-o-lantern in the hands of a frolicsome lad is the improved Canadian edition of the humble swede turnip in Europe and to many a youth in Canada the pumpkin is the symbol of Hal- lowe'en par excellence, either for food or frolic; but after all the applpe is more closely associated with the feast than any other fruit or vegetable. There is a special reason for this. In pagan times, at the festival of Pomona, the god- dess of fruit trees, nuts and fruits, : particularly apples (poma) played an important part and originated the custom of roasting nuts, apple a?
