It is deplorable to find even one in- stance in which a charge of this kind can be made by a responsible court official, and if it is Pinu by the evidence and verdict when the criminal action in connection with the case comes to trial, there can be little ground on which to base any plea for leni- ency. : EDITORIAL NOTES It is worth while these hot afternoons paying a visit to the Rotary Pool, to see the hundreds of children who are enjoying the splendid privileges it extends to them. Judging from the interest being taken by Bowmanville, Whitby and other municipal- ities in the employment being provided by the local gas company, it looks as if Osh- awa is fortunate in having the lion's share of the work. i _. The appearance of large schools of eels in Lake Ontario off the Oshawa beath af- fords an excellent opportunity for some en- terprising citizens to start an eel-fishing industry.

To be truthful, the place is neither a mountain nor blue, when approached from this direc- tion, but is a sort of peninsula jutt- ing out from the upland plain into the lowlands, or brakes. In a curve of this arm, under a flat cap rock dotted with grinding holes of the Indians, is one of the first wayside inns of America. A spring one time flowed from the rocks at th€ base of the cliff and two caves are located just above. The roofs and walls of the caves are blackened from the soot of countless campfires and the walls of the cliffs are covered with num- erous interesting crude pictures and hieroglyphics painted by the wand- ering Indians. This, the only run- ning water between the Pecos and Colorado rivers, was the stopping place for the tribes when they came upon the plains to hunt buffalo, deer and antelope, e twenty miles south of this point we stopped beside a large crater, made, my hosts said, by a meteor which fell some hundreds of years ago, The interesting thing about this meteor, which is one of the largest known in the United States, is that it fell during the reign of the Comanche in this sec- tion and was the basis for his le- gend of the Thunderbird. The Thunderbird was one of the em- blems of the Comanche, and, ac- cording to their legend, "He came through the air with a roar, his voice being like thunder, fire flash- ed from his eyes, and where he lit the land was laid waste." (Copyright, 1938), YOUR cond AND THE EYES 3 What about glare? Due to our modern conditions, glare reflected and direct is a menace to most cyes, 'I his cannot properly be coped with from a theoretic standpoint medical or otherwise should attempt to so consider it, because what is considered glare to one pair of eyes other, It woyld be wise therefore, for those who are advised theoretic: ally that a certain first aid remedy is 'applicable for a certain use, tu have the true condition of the eyes investigated before this remedy is used and being examined for its use have the assistance applied ac- cording to the percentage of vision existing, Reflected glare is often more di- rect than the source of illumina- tion. We are seldom called upon to cast our cyes in the directiom of the sun yet we are often brought into direct line with reflected rays from the pavement. Polished office floors, desks and windows and in many of these instances the glare is much more intense than the light itself 'because of our fixed position of work the light is constant or fixed, Some of those subject to glare in a greater degree than others are subject to it once the eyes arc opened.

MOUNTJOY FAMILY REUNION The ninth annual re-union of the Mountjoy family was held at the Eliiott Memorial Park, Hampton, on Saturday, July 25th. Ideal weather prevailed. At 12.30 o'clock about thirty-five sat down to well laden tables where all enjoyed the hot dinner. Soon cars began to arrive bring- ing other members of the Yamilies. Ice cream was served to all during the afternoon. A number enjoyed playing ball, swimming and fishing m the pond, while the younger members tested the swings, slides and teeter-totters and the older members enjoyed a good old time visit, The races which had been care- fully planned by Mrs. J. E. Elliott, Bowmanville, and Miss Beatrice Mountjoy, Kedron, were eagerly contested and prizes were awarded to all contesting. At 530 o'clock the tables were set and about ninety enjoyed the sumptuous meal. Mr. W. L. Mountjoy of Kedron the president, called the company to order and in a few words said how pleased he was to see so many pres- ent but also disappointed that as many more had not been there to enjoy such a splendid time as they had all enjoyed. The following officers were elect- ed for the coming year: President, Mr. Norman Mountjoy, Blackstock: Sect.-Treas, Mrs, E. Elliott, Bowmanville; Committee of man- agement, Mr. Harold Mountjoy, been able to attend, At dusk all departed for their homes looking forward to meet again next year.

BUTTER EXPORTS The extent to which butter is again growing as a factor in the export trade of Canada is shown by the market report issued by the Dominion Dairy and Cold Storage Branch for the week ending July 4, 1931. Total exports from May 1 to July 4 this year were 53,728 Absolutely NO HAY FEVER or Summer Asthms, this taking RAZ-MAH packages as compared with vd packages for the corre ng period last year. Receipts at Mon treal for the same period, totalling 251,219 packages, show an increase of 89,268 packages over 1930. DAIRY HERD PROFITS A profit of $1,408.02 over cost of feed from a dairy herd of ten cows is an item of special inter. est in the annual report of 1930 for the Dominion Experimental Farm at Indian Head, Sask, This represents an average profit over cost of feed of $140.80 under the difficult conditions of last year on the prairies. The feed cost per head averaged $42.73, and on most farms practically all this cost would be added profit through the marketing of avail- able feeds through the dairy herd. The low producer in the record was only milked 118 days showing a profit over feed cost of $49.63, while the high produ- cer was Tullochgorum Dorothy, in milk 355 days showing a profit over feed cost of $317.51. But- ter-fat average for the herd was 4 24 per cent, INCREASING YTELDS An average increase of 618 per cent during the past six years in apple production through the use of fertilizer is reported by the Dcminion Experimental Station at Cap Rouge, Que, Using 2 mix. ture of 5 pounds nitrate of soda and 6 pounds of superphosphate per tree the largest average in. crease in the volume of apples per tree was for summer varieties and amounted to 1,521 per cent, while the increase for winter va. rioties (Fameuse) amounted td 1,140 per cent. Using 5 pounds nitrate of soda per tree only pro. duced an average increase during the six year period of 541 per cent. This fertilizer stimulated production in the summer varie eties particularly t- | pease in six years for "Lowland ' Rasp. berry" being 1,579 per cent. and gor "Red Astrachan" 1,826 per cent, EE ------------------ Just because all men are bord equal is no reason they have to stay that way. and no honest refractionest be he | is perhaps entirely unnoticed by an- ' Milton Slemon 'and son e, 'near the switch, HOW TO SWIM A series of twenty-four articles specially written by a world author- ity for beginners in, and for all who wish to raise their swimming to a fine art.
