The band had played in the park at Eugenia Falls during the afternoon and broke their journey home in order to play a program in town. The program was varied, in- cluding marches, several selections, in- eluding an arrangement of two chor- injured, taken to the local hmplt‘ where medical attention w given.

The program was greatly enjoyed by the large crowd present. and the Ches- ley band may be assured of a hearty welcome should they return to give another such program. Plans for two separate expeditions to promote geographical knowledge, the first in the Antarctic in 1933 and the second in the Arctic in 1934, were out- lined to interviewers by Sir Hubert. The Australian explorer will-be as- sociated with Bert Balchen and Lin- coln Ellsworth. the Antarctic expedi- tion leaving Dunedin. New Zealand late next year. A base will be estab- lished near Byrd’s Little America. and the party will have special airplane equipment. Sir Hubert Wilkins and Dr. L. D. A. Hussey at Ottawa Recently.â€"New Expeditions Planned. Two explorers. who had braved the dangers of the Antarctic together, were in Ottawa recently renewing friend- ships. They are Sir Hubert Wilkins, famed Australian scientist, and Dr. L. D. A. Hussey. one of his companions on the Shackleton-Rowett Quest expedi- tion of 1921. Sir Hubert came here to visit members of the Australian dele- gation to the Imperial Conference; Dr. Hussey is visiting relatives. Ellsworth and Balchen plan a 3,000 mile flight over Ross Sea to ascertain if the vast area is a continent or a series of islands. A submersible boat will also be taken along. of boiler-like construction, Sir Hubert said. It will be used later on the North Pole expedition in 1934. He believes the members of the Antarctic expedition will be able to utilize it suc- cessfully by going under the pack .ice, barring the way to the free water near the shore. Sir Hubert said his visit to Ottawa had nothing ‘to do with the Imperial Conference.

APPEAL DROPPED IN BARRIE CASE Time Up For Carrying Speeding Fine to Higher Court. Despite the statement of W. G. Rob¢ ertson, secretary of the Ontario Motor League, that there would be an appeal against the conviction by Magistrate Compton Jefls at Barrie on July 29. of Charles D. Landrell, Toronto, on a charge of speeding, there will be no appeal. The time to enter an appeal has elapsed, and no application has yet been made to the county judge for an extension of time. The conviction, which brought wide publicity to Chief Constable Alexan- der Stewart and to the town of Barrie, resulted when Landell was summoned for speeding through the town on June 12. The chief ,constable testified he had taken the number of Landell’s car while sitting with his wife in Bay- view Park. He produced another wit- ness, who testified that Landell’s car, driven,by his daughter, was travelling between 40 and 45 miles an hour and passed another car on the narrow street. ~ . The percentage of native-born mak- ing up the population of Canada has fallen from 88.06 in 1881 to 77.76 in 1931. while the foreign-born (excluding British) has grown from 2.87 per cent. in 1881 to 10.83 in 1931. During the same period the percentage of British- born varied but little, being 11.07 per cent. in 1931. These and other interesting figures are contained in the latest bulletin on the Dominion census of 1931. This census gave Canada a total population of 10,376,786, as against 8,787,949 in 1921, an increase in ten years of 1,588,- 837, or 18.08 per cent. The census of 1921 gave an increase of 1,581,840 or 21.95 per cent. over the 1911 census. Percentage of Population 11.41 in 1931 â€"Was 2.87 in l881.--Native Born FOREIGN ELEMENT The most significant decrease among the foreign-born was from the United States, which tell from a total of 374,- 022 in 1921 to 344,574 in 1931. In 1931 the percentage fronf the United States was 3.32. as compared with 4.25 in 1921 and 4.21 in 1911. Frank Lake, Durham’s early morn- ing milkman, met with an accident the other morning that was quite painful. He slipped when delivering a bottle. and in the crash to the sidewalk had his hand badly cut. He was taken to a local physician for treatment, and was bleeding so lustily that a tourniquet was required before a proper dressing could be applied to the wound. MILKMAN CUT HAND short addresses after the GROW IN CANADA , THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1932 A district-wide search was in prog- ress last. week for two inmates of the Ontario Reformatory, who made 'a bold daylight getaway from the institution at Guelph and are still at large. Ard Watt Escapes From Reformatory Watt and Fred Shaw. Toronto, Are Still At Large. The pair, Ard Watt, of Southampton, and Fred Shaw, of Toronto, both about 18 years of age, were carrying bolts of cloth from the stores to the tailor shop when they escaped. They endeavored to take an auto- mobile owned by the foreman of the tailor shap, but in some way, they stripped the gears of the machine and abandoned it, fleeing on foot. Watt was serving an eighteen months sentence on a charge of stealing a mo- tor car, while shaw was serving a two years less on day term for breaking, entering and theft. Watt was driving a stolen car in Owen Sound when the police took af- ter him. He attempted to go up 8th street west hill, where there are only steps, and the car turned over. Watt escaped on foot. Later he was arrested and sent to Walkerton jail, from which he made a successful escape. In spite of every effort made by the police no trace of him could be discovered until months later, when he was arrested in the New England states, brought back to Walkerton and sentenced.

According to a bulletin issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, the census of 1931 revealed a remarkable increase in farms of largest acreage, with a corresponding decrease in the smallest sized farms as the result of comparison with the 1921 census. For the whole of Canada, the class with acreages between 101 and 200 acres is the most numerous with 233,- 325 farms, and the smallest is the 201 to 299 acre class, with 35,620 farms. In Prince Edward Island the largest group is the 51 to 100 acres with 5,071 (arms. The same group is also the largest for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick with 10,325 and 11,457 respectively. In these three provinces the number of farms over 300 acres is small. In the Prov- ince of Quebec there are 48,823 farms with acreage between 101 and 200 acres. forming the largest group for the prov- ince. In Ontario, on the other hand. the farms with acreages between 51 and 100 acres form the largest group with 68,620 farms. In the Provinces of Manitoba. Alberta and British Colum- bia the 101 to 200 acre group is the largest, while in Saskatchewan the 300- 479 acre group exceeds in number all the other classes. These statistics show that in both Grey and Bruce counties ‘the farms in the 51-100 acre class are more numer- ous than those in any other single class. In Grey county there are 8.212 farms, of which 3,036 fall in the 51-100 acre class, with the 101-200 acre class a close second with 2,841 farms.

The 'pro- posal is being considered by the Brit- ish delegates. The proposal is that the investigation be completed before De- cember 1, so that the embargo might be lifted by that date. The Govern- ment is.anxious that the embargo be lifted each year from December 1 to The reason given by the British Gov~ ernrnent for the embargo is the danger of Canadian potatoes carrying the Col- orado beetleâ€"the plain ordinary potato bugâ€"into the United Kingdom. When the conference opened the Canadian ministers at once urged that this em- bargo be lifted. The contention of. Can- adian entomologists all along has been that potato bugs are not carried on potatoes shipped in the Fall. The bugs burrow into- the ground after the tops of the potato die. , Canada Offers to Convince British Ex- perts Menace Lacking. ' The Canadian Government is hope- ful that the embargo which the United Kingdom placed against Canadian po- tatoes will be lifted this Fall. A new proposal has been made to the United Kingdom delegation. It would provide for British experts coming to Canada at the Dominion’s expense to see the potatoes harvested. The investigators would visit the fields where the potatoes are being dug. watch them going through the ma- chines which blow the dirt of! them. They could also try mixing potato bugs with the potatoes and see if the ma- chines will take them out. .
