Strong and majestic are the Nia- gara Falls--strong, and majestic--and tragic! The seemingly placid waters above the Falls attract countless wild- fowl. At night, like most living things, they fall asleep. The pull of the water drags at their motionless bodies. Nearer and nearer the brink they are drawn, They go over--and down -- down into the maelstrom churned up by forces sufficient to generate hundreds of thousands of electrical horsepower. Light sleepers may waken in time to fly out from the threat of sure death, Of those carried into the tur- moil of waters below few survive. Conservation Officer R. Muma, On- tario Department of Lands and For- ests, in whose territory the cataract is located, has for years been inter- ested in retrieving the remains of the many species of ducks and other waterfowl that have been carried over the Falls. . During the past winter, up to and including January 81st last, he has collected 9 American Scoter, 21 White-winged Scoter, .79 American Goldeneyes, 76 Canvas-backs, 86 Greater Scaup, 4 Lesser Scaup, 3 Mallards, 3 Baldpate, 9 Old Squaw, 6 Black, 1 Red-head,-and--4--Ruddy Ducks, and 16 American and 19° Red- breasted Mergansers, Other water- throated Loon; 10 Horned, 1 Holbeill's and 6 Pied-billed Grebes; 1 Ring-bil- led, 16 Herring and 1 Greater Black. backed Gulls, and 1 Coot. Officer Muma never ceases being surprised at the number of gulls that but points out that many of the gulls, ducks and other waterfowl retrieved were sick or injured before being swept over the crest. Many were greasy, or oil-soaked, others emaciated and not 'a few wounded by hunters. Casualties are heaviest during migra- tion periods, he said. All birds recovered are shipped. to the Lands and Forests Research Di- vision at Maple, Ontario, where after, autopsy the best preserved are made into study skins.

In one district, three teen-age boys were killed in shooting accidents which; Mr. Scott believes, could have been avoided by better instruction by parents, teachers and sportsmen, PRINCE ALBERT GREENHOUSE ORDER YOUR Corsages FOR 3950 "AT HOME DANCE" EARLY; Also Any flowers you may need for special occasions, {o be sure of the best.

"Today's 'progressive' school," he writes, "tells its pupils not to worry about examinations or class standing, since 'You are not in competition with anyone else, you are only in competition with your- self." Thus it ignores examina- tions and promotes on the basis of a strange and incomprehens- ible combination of the student's general accomplishment, his men- tal ability (as determined by the unreliable 1Q test) and his age. Since the student's age is the only factor that can be absolutely de- fined, promotion in the truly pro- gressive' school is 'made on age only. "If it is to serve ita function the report card should give complete and honest information to those most vitally concerned--the stu- dent and his parents," Hume writes. "It should give the exact accomplishment and ranking in every subject and every precau- tion should be taken to keep it con- fidential. The Toronto report card with its three divisions (out- standing, satisfactory and unsat- isfactory) "does not give a com- plete or honest picture of the stu- During late February and March, and 'much of April in the northern districts, Conservation Officers will be making special efforts to protect deer from wolves and from dogs. - Conservation officers have author- ity under the Game and Fisheries Act to shoot any dog found running deer.

On these terms the promotion of pupils will be made of the grounds of age only and, of course, all pupils will be promoted." To this Hume prefers the op- portunity plan, under which each student is given his year's work at the beginning of the year along with a list of information sources he can look up himself instead of asking one teacher, and which "promotes on the basis of actual work satisfactorily comple) ,--- Hoenisls" We are pleased to report that Mrs. Frank: Honey is progressing nicely at her home after an opera- tion in Toronto.

An internationally known expert on consumer buying says "yes" after a survey of two typical families in towns. of comparable size--one Cana- dian, the other American. In the current Maclean's Magazine, Sidney Margolius reports that since he visited the same two families two and a half years ago "Al Bigami of Trenton, N.J., has moved far ahead of Hamilton's Oscar Bieber. "A handsome 1950 Buick is parked outside Al's rented flat. new eight-foot refrigerator, a televi- sion set and a sparkling new white gas range in addition to the equip-| ment he and his wife had in 1949-- washer, vacuum cleaner, electric sew- ing machine, pressure cooker, auto- matic toaster and steam iron. Food costs the Bigamis of the U.S. more than it did in 1949 but they seem less ! worried about] it than when I visited | them then." "There's quite a change when you enter the bungalow the Biebers now rent on Niagara Street, a neighbor- hood of inexpensive small bungalows in Hamilton. The Biebers still have the same icebox and are still talking about getting an electric one.. They still have no car. They did buy a vacuum cleaner, a secondhand dining- room set and a new living-room sot on the installment plan when they had to leave their former flat 8 months ago. But the cost-of-living problem that dominates their thinking these days is the price of food. For the Bichars of Canada today are con sciously rationing themselves on edi- bles," He has al' "Other than the handsome big car and the better household furnishings of the American family," Margolius writes, "the most noticeable differ- ence in the way the two families now live is in the way they eat. For a weekly groceterin tab of about $26 the Bigamis have meat or chicken every evening. They have fresh ve- etables at every meal |. | they still use the "quarts tation." " ...
