Changing the railway whistle sig- nal from two-long-two-short blasts to a final long blast last year may have been the cause of a reduction of accidents in which engines col. llded with motor cars, he thought, adding that the burden for safe driving must rest on the motorist, MICKIE SAYS-- \Y ELV, FOLKS, THEY 1$ A SORTA TICKLI$H ASSIGNMENT "THAT'S TH' $UBJECT O' TODAYS $ERMON= IT! $OMPIN 'AT $OME OF YOU$E $HOULD BE SENDIN' TO U$ IF You '$PECT THI$ NEWSPAPER TO KEEP i You rT ER : | / 'SCOUIING . .

Further, "If the Government muddled in this Nor- weglan campaign it will be for Par- liament to act objectively, fearless. ly and resolutely as the grand in- quést of the nation." FOURTH WEEK BEGINS At the end of the third woek of the war in Norway, the German High Command claimed that Oslo and Trondheim had been linked by Nazi columns, that Dombas, strat. eglc rail junction, had been captur. ed, giving the Nazis control of the main rallway line from' the Nor- weglan capital to Trondheim. The Allies, while admitting withdrawal in several sectors, still commanded the approaches to northern: Nor- way; held the important ports of Namsos and. Andalsnes; and were successfully landing substantial" reinforcements of men and sup- plies, together with much-needed antl-aireraft guns. 4 NAZIS IN SWEDEN A German attack on Sweden seemed 'much less imminent last © week, although huge sums were ap- propriated for defense purposes by the Swedish government. In some quarters it was thought that Adolf Hitler could 'get Sweden's fron and - her arsenal immobilize her Army andrher Navy, without firing a shot or crossing a frontier uninvited, It is - well-known - that there are the makings of an excellent Naz!

Walter Lippman on this side of the Atlantic said: "A Nazi victory, obtained without Ital- fan help, would be supremely dan- gerous for Italy, Therefore, Italy's only chance to save anything from this desperate situation is to join the Germans if they are winning, to join them: before it is too late to contribute: anything important to the Nazi victory, yet not too soon to be fatally hurt by the Alljes."

Of next importance will _ be shadé and stimulant; Moving a plant is something JIké an opera- tion on a human being, and the larger the specimen, the more ne- cessary the attention, With shrub- bery aud trees often main roots Stouff-. are cut and. the shock Is severe. Halt a pail of water after setting "out is not too much for such big things, and the watering should be repeated two or thre¢ times a week, if a quick start is wanted. With ordinary annuals and per- ennials liberal watering is also ad- visable and shelter from hot sun for the first few days. Some pickup in the way of quickly available commercial fertilizer, cavefully ap- plied, will help at this time, merely a pinch for small things like toma. to plants or asters, and perhaps up to a couple of handfuls for. shrubs and trees! INFORMAL LAYOUTS In the average case planting fir- regularly in. clumps will produce the 'most pleasing garden effects. Such planting, too, will add an air of spaciousness, giving even tiny backyard gardens the appearance of much larger plots. Where possible there should be a lawn in the foreground, with an frregularly shaped bed of flowers around the edges and possibly dif- ferent groups of shrubs at the cor "hers. Scrcening of harsh straight lines about the house and with clumps of flowers and shrubs and an occasional trailing vine over verandahs or garages will bring the, | whole thing together. Uh UTDOORS 8Y VIC BAKER YOU ASKED FOR IT Many Ontario anglers have written in to ask us what the best knots are to use in tying eyed flies to the new nylon fishing leaders. Before attempting to ans- wer this' general enquiry we had a chat with Frier Gulline, one of Canada's most expert tiers of ar- tificial fishing flies. It was under ¢ expert supervision of this able fy "doctor" that the new leaders were, first tied when they weve --introduced "to the Canadian fish= 'ing fraternity last spring, so we know the information he gave us is correct beyond a doubt. The Best Knots After experimenting with sev. cral types of knots, it was decid- ed that the best knot to tie the nylon strands together into a strong leader would be the fam- iliar Barrel or Blood Knot (sce accompanying diagram). Other experiments proved that the best knot for tying eyed flies to the leader was the Turle ¥not. Fam. iliar to experienced fishetmen and popular with most anglers, it is one of the simplest and safest knots used and will: hbld under all conditions. It is easy to tie (see illustration) and good for any size drives VOICE PRESS BLAME IT ON SPRING It !s hard to tell where spring fever leaves off and laziness begins. += Kitchener Record, 4 WE ARE NOT ALONE It did not take Canada long to demonstrate that ft has officials who can épen their mouths and put thelr feet in. them with . ail the .¢aso of an American diplomat, ~-- Buffalo Evening News, ' THE UNSOLVED PROBLEM It has been decreed that children must attend.gchool until they ave 16, but as yet there has been no de. clsfon as to what to do with them when they get through school, -- St, Catharines Standard.
