It used to be an event, the high spot of the day for thousands of families, but nn wit is an accepted, routine affair. In a few places. in the hill country of southern Ohio and Pennsylvania. the tourist seeking the quiet country road away from the caravan-laden highway, will occasionally, come ugon the old-style carrier, plodding along' in his horse-drawn wagon. But his days are numbered Progress has over taken the old mers Nostalgic memories arise in the heart of all who have spent time on a {arm whenever hey think of the ~ural mail man. (pb the summer he could be seen coming up the road & long way off. He was announced by a cloud o* dust, raised by his faithful horse Speed was not his motto, but that wa. mand of thr Western Arctic sub-divi sion in 1927-'29, he was known among just?as well.

He helped keep the country together. Preservation of Farm Fence Posts Interesting information with re- gard to the preservation of fence posts has accrued from experiments | carried out at the Range Experimen. tal Station of the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture at Manyberries, Alberta, These experiments have been conducted to determine the rela- tive merits of treated and untreated fence posts. In one experiment start- ed in 1927, posts were treated with onal tar or creosote while other osts were left untreated. In 1936 all he treated posts were found to be sound but all the untreated ones were cither completely rotted a few inches below the ground or showed such ad- vanced stages of rot that they will have to be replaced within the next year. As it was, several of the un- treated posts had to be replaced in 1034 and 1936. At the end of a nine-year period a comparison of the two treatments, tarring and creosoting: failed tc show any definite advantage in favor of one or the other method. However: where cost and equipment are con- cerned, there is a decideu advantage in the tarring treatment. The cost of tarring is from 1% to 2 cents per post, whereas creosoting costs from 5 to 6 cents per post. depending on the size of the post. . Moreover a creosote dipping apparatu is more claborate in construction and a long- er time is necessary to do the job horoughly. Another experiment in progress is a comparison of otter treatments with various kinds of wood. Pres- sure-crcosoted (purchased commer- cially), blue-stoned, and charred posts are being tested along with tarred and creosote-dipped posts. Charring has no apparent check on rotting, as all the charted posts were as badly votted as the untreated, Pressure crevsoted pine posts show excellent durability "but they entail a high initial cost for fencing large areas. The bluestone treatment shows very good results, especially with poplar posts. The cost of blue- stoning is usually less than 2 cents per post, the construction of the dip- ping tank and method of treatment being quite simple. 30 Nurses Found To Be Tubercular Toronto--Thirty cases of active tuberculosis among nurses In train. ing and 23 cases among training school teachers were discovered as a! result of examinations conducted by the Government during the past two years, Hon. Dr. L. J. Simpson. min. ister of education, stated recently. Necessity of such examination was stressed by © Dr. Simpson who stated that if medical examination was essential for teachers, and re- vealed such results, surely it was necessary for student nurses. "You know what this condition means in exposure, to children In the instances of the teachers," said Dr. Simpson. "In one high school we found five active cases of tuber- culosis." Necessity of matriculation require- ments for the nursing profession was questioned by Dr. Simpson. who said he believed that many of the non-essential subjects of a matricu- lation certificate might be dropped in favor of work more suited to the adoption of a course in nursing. While matriculation nas been the yardstick to nursing standards in the past, he doubted if it were the cor- rect yardstick. But, he warned, standards must be maintained in whatever course of training or re- quirements that might be followed. Looking over her shoulder as she ran, the girl now saw a great pro- session of Wheelers emerging from the forest -- dozens and dozens of them -- all clad in splendid, tight- fitting garments and all rolling swift- ly toward her, uttering their wild » strange cries. "They're sure to catch us!!" panted the girl, who was still "earrying the heavy dinner pail which she had picked. "I can't run much farther, Billina." CE Ais "Climb this hill, quick!" said the hen, and Dorothy found that she was very near to the heap of loose and jagged rock they had passed on their way to the forest. The yellow hen was already fluttering among the rocks, and Dorothy followed as best she could, half climbing and half stumbling up the rough and ragged slope. She was none too soon for the foremost Wheeler reached the hill a moment after she started her climb, But while the girl scrambled up the rocks, the creature stopped short with howls of rage and disappoint. ment. Dorothy now heard the yellow hen laughing in her cackling, henny way. "Dont hurry, my dear," cried Billina. "They can't follow us among these rocks, so we're safe enough now." Dorothy stopped at once and sat down upon a broad boulder, for she was all out of breath. "That was a narrow escape," she said, The rest of the Wheelers had reached the foot of the hill, but it was evident that something prevent- ed them from following our friends., But they circled around the little hill, so the child and Billina found they were fast prisoners and could not come down 'ithout being captured. Then one of the creatures shook a ' front wheel at Dorothy, threatening. ly and cried: "You®c¢an't escape be cause you're on the enchanted h' We'll get you," that Seek to Better State of People TORONTO -- Descvibine as "far ahead of our system" the method in which London takes care: of delin- quent girls: Miss Mary Wl.

Academic subjects are also taught to those de- siring them. English social workers, the «- er described as "much more concern- ed with bettering the conditions of people than with destroying the cause of such conditions." They are more outspoken about the spiritual life of sicial work, and much less self-conscious about it, she said. The most surprising thing about English social work, she thought is the recog- nition by the state o! its increased responsibility for the care of people made dependent through economie forces and the close co-operatior be- tween the, state enterprises and vol. untary groups. Recreational develop ments are only thought worthwhile in England's social agencies: if they come from the people themselves. . Women's Taste + On Jobs Vary Still Every Woman to Her Own Taste in Halifax Halifax, N.S.--A local newspaper made a survey of female opinlon on women's occupations---and whit a hodge-podge of answers develoed.

But Gertrude Maxwell, dietician, hadn't a good word to say about Miss Sellar's job.

"1 tried it." she continued, "but _sjtting all day long taking notes and transcribing them on the typewriter got me down, and I had to stop." A student, Mona Keating, came to bat with an outburst against the tea- ching and nursing professions.
