NTARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER -A "NEW FLY DOPE The time is drawing near when black flies, mosquitoes and other insects will again plague -the quiet and peace of the angler whilo he peacefully enjoys his early summer fishing. But it may bp a consola- tlon to some to know that, at last, a powerful and effective lotion has "been invented which will. forever _protect the fisherman from his an- nual trials and tribulations, The new lotion, which repels the . mosquitoes, black flies and other insects and at the same time has a pleasant odour, is the latest dis- covery of a group of scientists that are working in collaboration with - an industrial company.! The work on the part of the research special. ists was not any too pleasant ae- cording to reports. They spent a great many hours in mosquito-in- fested swamps, trying many -varie- ties of ex!sting "Insect" repellents and many new formulas, They fin- - ally discovered that, in every case, it wasn't the smell which kept the mosquitoes and black filles from biting, They finally invented a new formula and when they used it on their arms and face, It kept the In- sects away. Teen 1,3 "To this formula, a pleasant per fume was added. Further tests then proved the new lotion to be abso- lutely harmless for even the most tender skin. So It seems that this summer Canadians enjoying their . favourite sport on rivers, lakes and streams can successfully fight oft biting insects without having to use a lotion with a strong unpleas- ant odour and without fear of even "harming the most sensitive skin.

By graclous living, the popular columnist explained, she ~ meant. "living simply, unburriedly, calm, "hospitable and without os- tentatious display." - "That we have fallen far below the standard of hospitality of our mothers and grandmothers," was the opinion of Bride Broder. She attributed the so-called depravity among the younger generation to _ mothers who djd nat have the time , to make a proper home for their children. Deplores Hurried Atmosphere "Waste is the opposite to graci- "ous living, as opposite as the poles. There cannot be gracious living in a hurried atmosphere," shé sald, and quoted Earl Baldwin of Bewd- ley 'who, while fu Toronto, charg- ed that "acceleration today. 1s tak- en as the manifestation of civil zation," Bride Broder frankly add- ed- that 'hurry was a manifestation of empty-headeduess, and showed a disordered mind and nature.
