Urquhart, Dominion Government doctor at Aklavik, NNW.T.,, for 10 years, has arrived in Ottawa for three months leave before assum- ing a similar post at Fort Smith, 900 miles south of his former post. Travelled 40,000 Miles During the decade he was at Aklavik, Dr. Urquhart estimated that he travelled more than 40,000 miles on patrol in the vast district of more than 90,000 square miles which made up the Aklavik medical district. Aklavik is more than 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Of the 40,000 miles, he travelled 10,000 by dog team in winter, 20, 000 by boat in summer and the other 10,000 by airplane. been four years since Dr, Urquhart has been down from the north and he said conditions there were goed, " Game was plentiful 'and fur-hunt. ing good.

Largest Sugar Beet Acreage Haig Farm Near Thedford, On- tario, Grows Crop On 100 Acres y, SARNIA.--Receiving stations for delivery of sugar beets in Lambton' County opened the first week in Oc- tober, Frederick Groombridge, of Petrolia, field representative for the Canada and Dominion Sugar Com- pany at Chatham and Wallaceburg, 'announced. In all there are 21 sta- tions, the majority of them situat- ed in the northern sections of the county. The weigh stations are at London Road, Blackwell, Perch, Al- vinston, Thedford, Kingscourt and Holmesdale.- The crop this year around Black- well, where the largest acreage in the county is harvested, shows the usual good run. The largest con. tract is at the Hale farm near Thedford, where there are approxi- . - mately 100 acres of sugar beets. Russian Children Learning Music Emphasis Is Being Placed On Peculiar National Art Forms And Folk Instruments "Children of the national minor- ities of Soviet Russia, says the Christian Science Monitor, are in- structed in the music culture of their particular regions with em- phasis placed on the peculiar nati- onal art forms and folk instru- ments, 'This, the Soviet music edu- cator believes, is vital, if music is to become an integral part of the child's life. Such national minorities in the' USSR as the Kazak, Tatar, Kash- kir, Turkmen, and Uzbek maintain studios at the Moscow Conserva- tory of Music where advanced study - in their own national music is av- ailable' to talented young persons from these localities. 'An Hour A Week The Soviet child gets an hour a week of music appreciation during his elementary and secondary . school education which takes 'in musical biography, theory, choral singing, and reading music as well as an understanding of the more important music forms such as the opera, symphony, overture, gona--: ta, etc., knowledge of the structure of different * musical instruments, and conducting "in the advanced grades. Urges Police Be Courteous Prof. Rogers, Provincial Ana- lyst, 'Scores Rough Talk To Offenders "Be courteous" was the advice given members of the Police Asso- ciation of Ontario by Professor IL. Joslyn Rogers, Provincial Analyst and professor of practical chemis- try at the University of Toronto, at the association's convention in Tor- onto early in October. "A judge has no right to lecture a man whom he ig sentencing," Professor Rogers said. "The admin- istration of justice and not the giv- ing of moral advice is his function. Winning Respect "So, it 18 with police. They have no right to speak roughly to. offen. ders, If you must give a man a tic- ket for some parking or speeding offence, do it with courtesy. You will win yoursélt a friend, instead of starting an argument and mak- ing 'an enemy." ; "Respect for law," he continued, "depends largely on your actions, and the way you administer it.

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 fron, 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." .

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 wide- spread 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 exer- cise uncanny intelligence in eluding their enemies. While they are able to see at some distance, particular- ly strange movements, they depend mostly upon their sense of smell and hearing to warn them of ap- proaching danger. . ' The hunter must proceed against the wind to get within firing range, it 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 nof cough, talk to his companions, ér smoke while stalking the wary whitetails, - The most favorable conditions, of course, are when the leaves are off the trees, the ground is wet or cov- ered' 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.

Such a move, however, is best not made without careful con- sideration. 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 oft" 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 be- tray what is inside," and the same thought expresses a garden quality. Simplicity in design need not be ob- viousness. Over-Eating Ths 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 resili- "ency 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 moder- ation, avold rich foods and too much food, and keep the blood stream healthy, by living largely on a diet of milk, eggs, cheese, and whole gridins, also fruits and vege- tables.

The project covers all dairying sections of Ontario extending as far north as Sault Ste. Marie, from Issex county in the southwest to the Que- bec border in the east. Compare Returns For Labor The report indicates that the crop geason is an important factor in successful dairying and that those milk producers residing in areas which suffered from the drought for fhe crop year in question secur- ed 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 6f the family living secured from the farm for the several areas were as fol- lows: Toronto $333, Windsor-Chat- ham $881, London-Brantford $660, Hamilton-Niagara $3178, Owen Sound-Peterborough-Oshawa $355. St. Lawrence Towns $660, Ottawa $1,205, 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 $5672. The value of the family living ranged from $309 per farm in the Eastern Con- densery zone to $430 in the Lon- don-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 Bellet Canadians "are the best fed people in the world," was ex-~ pressed at Langstaff, Ontario, last week by Sir Edward Mellanby, the gecretary-general of England's med- ical research council, "If you are not, you are at least very near it," he sald. Chief reason for bad teeth fn England fs 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 con- sumpticn of milk he said, Sir Edward stayed at.the farm home of Dr. F. F, Tisdall near Lang- staff, about 10 miles north of Tor onto. re Sure Norsemen s 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 are prepared to veport that three Norse relies were actually found in 1931 near Beardmore, in northwest- ern Ontario. They were produced 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. Ie was as- sisted 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 rail- way conductor and amateur pros- pector, were proven of the 11th Century but their discovery in On- tario 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 exact. There Is no question 'n 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 before Co- lumbus crossed the Atlantic and reached Lake Nipigon by way of the Albany and Kenogaml rivers. Revenue Rise In Dominion Customs, Excise, Income Taxes Yield More Thah 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 Otta- wa last week, This was an increase of $7,798,100 over the correspond- ing period last year when revenue totalled $255,334,799. Receipts from income tax am- ounted to $117,441,212, a gain of $21,978,891; customs duties $40, 573,436, decrease of $6,922,409; ex- cise taxes $77,607,145, decrease of $6,804,816; excise duties $27,089, 491, decrease of $424,127. During September revenue am- ounted to $30,657,432 as against $32,605,437 collected in September, 1937, a net decrease of $2,038,006. Collections In detail were: Income 'tax $6,890,328, increase $1,131,774; customs duties $6,806,432, decrease $1,339,129; excise taxes $13,201,482, decrease $1,657,166; excise duties $4,621,026, decrease $168,615; sun. dry collections $58,165, decrease $4,870, 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 daunt- less spirit who lives in an Ontario town and is respected by all its in- habitants listened to Hitler's Berlin speech (as we all did). She had not hearkened long to the hysterl- cal 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 $3.76. Something went wrong with the power lines outside of her house and the town will be presenting her with the bill, as a result, Nevertheless the lady in: ts the kick was worth fit. VIHTHER FRANCE? -- It looks naw as if France, once the strong- ¢.t democracy on the Continent of l.arope, is to be relegated to the vole of a second-rate power. How vi3e could you interpret her pres- cut position? Just four years ago France count. ed her European allies and friends on both hands: Belgium, Czechoslo- vakia, Poland, Rumania, Yugosla- via, Soviet Russia, Greece, Turkey. British friendship was assured. Germany was well encircled, Today I'rench statesmen admit privately that their country is dependent solely on Britain's goodwill for her future, This autumn of 1938, France 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 "impreg- nable" 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 France to do, but to revolve as Britain's satellite. LAST IN EUROPE--In Adolf lit ler's speech to the world Septem ber 26, he declared that the Sude- ten areas were the last territorial demand he wot ld make in Europe. "In Europe," mind. That says nothing about the Brit- ish Atfeican colonies which he wants. ' ME, TOO--As soon as Germany had been granted the settlement of the Sudeten minority problem in Czechoslovakia, Poland got her ultimatum in at Prague, demand: ing the cession of the areas where the Polish minority lives. Now Hungary has set up a howl on be- half of the Magyars in Czechoslo- vakia. . At home the British Government is confronted by th» Welsh Nation- alists who want their minority problem taken up; by Prime Minis- ter de Valera of Eire who wants a plebiscite in certain areas of Nor thern 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 kis tongue in his cheek when he said that "Ireland cannot be left out of any general settlement of the mi: nority problem in ISurope." does the price paid this fall for David A. Croll, K.C., formep merber of the Hepburn Cabinet, who, according to reports, may re- tire from provincial politics and run for Dominion House in the next general election. Sees Closer Union With the States Premier Hepburn Predicts That In Era to Come Canada and 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 en- visioned by Premier Hepburn. Mr. Hepburn told the American Transit Association that Japan, Italy and Germany revealed in the recent world crisis they had seri- ous 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 thought to be-. coming self-contained. Both "won. derful countries", they were peo- pled by the same people who had provided the necessary material to maintain free democracies. Economic consequences, thus, of the European situation, coupled with the geographical position of Canada and the United States would bring the two countries clos- er together in a new era that must come if the whole economic struc- ture were not to tumble. Swing Not New Says Sir Ernest Derived From Colored Rhythm Canadian Symphony Con- ductor Avers VANCOUVER.- Sir Ernest Mec- Millan, of Toronto, Canadian com- poser and symphony conductor, claims "jitterbugs," "jam sessions" and swing music are nothing new. Sir [rnest was guest conductor for the Vancouver Symphony Or- chestra concert here. All popular present day music fs derived from coloured rhythm, said Sir Ernest last week. He did not believe "swing music" would be permanent. 'Jittery' music is probably the result of the 'jittery' nervous life people lead today," he sald. Ontario wheat compare with a year ago?
