The supply figure includes the carry-over at Aug. 1 and the new crop forecast of 603,800,000 bushels on the basis of conditions at that time. Supplies of this kind would be the second only to the 1942-43 year, when the total reached 980,- 400,000 bushels. This year's sup- plies are about 51 per cent higher than the 10-year average of 638,- 000,000 bushels. Exports of wheat as grain amounted to 329,000,000 bushels-- exceeded only once before when 354,400,000 bushels were exported in 1928-29. Exports of flour in terms of wheat were 56,900,000 bushels compared with 51,100,000 the previous year, but were ex- ceeded in each.of the five crop years from 1943-44 to 1947-48.

Course of worms treated with a radio-active substance was fol- lowed by a geiger-counter. The trail of two was being fol- lowed when one disappeared from view--one worm had simply swal- lowed the other. Dr. Spinks told how mosquitoes and flies were treated in the war against insects. Flight of mosqui- toes 'had been calculated up to a distance of 10 miles.

Spencer and Wilson each rap) homers, Wilson with one 'on but the sacks were bare when "Willie" teed off. The third game is in Cobourg Wednesday night. The game started off fast with neither teams hitting the scroring column until the first of the fifth. The locals hit pay dirt first. Da- foe and Trimm got singles. Wilson sacrificed the winners on a base, Ab hit a double and went to third on an error in centre field, a pair of runs scoring. Heffering singled plating Ab. Ed Samanski Popped to third in foul territory and Ross fanned. Cobourg could do nothing in their half. In the sixth Spencer led off with a terrific homer to deep centre, Wally fanned. Dafoe wal ked, Trimm and Wilson got hits to load the sacks and one gone. Ab Sam- anski flied out to right, Dafoe scor- ing after the catch. Heffering flied to centre to make it 5-0 for the locals. Three local errors in the last of the sixth gave Cobourg their first run. A walk, an error and a hit gave the losers another run in the seventh. The local lads however, seeing that Cobourg were getting a little close, decided to swing more tim- r. Wally was out on a hard hit ball to centre field. Dafoe got his third hit of the night. Trimm fol- lowed 'with his fourth hit in as many tries to plate Dafoe. Wilson, next man up, hit a homer that Dawe had to go almost to the lake for. Ab and Heffering both grounded out short to first. In the last two innings the losers managed one hit but that was all. Samanski claiming half the last six outs on strikeouts. This was a good game despite the near freezing weather. The is only one draw - back about the Wednesday game. The Stokers are playing in Kingston and a few of the local softball lovers have been following both clubs.

Greenland No Longer A Colony COPENHAGEN (Reuters)--Den- mark Monday informed the United Nations that Greenland no longer is a colony but an integral part of the Danish kingdom. Greenland now will leave the on-self-governing territories and Denmark will Sich supplying information on her N Atlantic possession to the United Nations. ' The Danish government's note to UN Secretary-General Dag Ham- marskjold brings to a climax Den- mark's plan to give the 840000- square mile island full equality. The transformation of Greenland from a backward under-developed colony into a fully-fledged part of the Danish kingdom has taken only a few years. A Danish commission investigated the future of Green- land in 1949. Two years later Greenland elected a national coun- cil (landsraad) giving the country a political voice. Under an amendment: to the con- stitution Danish voters in a pleb- iscite last Joay approved the in- tegration of Greenland into Den- mark. Two representatives from the island will sit in the Danish Parliament for the first time later this year.

He and his family are taking a motor trip through the United States for the next few days. On his return, he will be employed by Larry :loffering, Whitby. PICKERING BEACH -- It like only yesterday that we groan- ed and moaned about the depress- ing heat. But now all one hears is . . . "Chilly, isn't it?" It.remainds me of 'the "good old days" of the] big family kitchen and the huge wood stov. that mother always had piping hot when we came downstairs for breakfast, and the inevitable big pot of 'porridge on the front of the stove. Good old porridge, as much as we hated it as a steady diet, there was never a scrap left for cat or dog to lick up. Believe it or not, yours truly has taken to cooking up that same delicious dish on these cool autumn mornings. Tuesday was a big day in the lives of mothers and children alike here at the Beach. "7e coaxed the kids out of bed and into their clothes and stiff now shoes, check- ed befiind the ears and above the elbows, tucked a kleenex in a con- venient pocket and 'sent the little darlings out to begin another val- uaple year of education. We say valuable in the sense that educa- tion as we have it in this wonderful country of ours is indeed a price- less privilege. We grumble about the taxes we have to pay for educa- tion, but I dare say there isn't one of us would wish ourselves else- where as far as schooling is con- cerned. SCHOOL OPENING Our school, recently established as our own responsibility, to take effect, January 1, 1954, and call- ed School Section Number One, opened its doors to a full house of school children, two new teachers and an interior face-lifting. A centre, movable partition has been installed to facilitate greater ease in teaching for the two teachers in one room. The platform at the front of the room has been removed to make room for more desks should the need arise to install more of them, but at the present time, the available desks are all that are needed, although there is not even one to spare. The Senior teacher is Mrs. Auld who has been assistant principal of .the Ritson Road School in Osh- awa for the past year. She will be teaching Grades 5 to 8. The teach- er for the junior grades is Mrs. Robinson of Long Branch. We cer- tainly welcome these ladies most cordially and wish them every suc- cess in the coming year. We are hoping that the parents of the chil- dren will b. on hand to meet the teachers at the opening meeting of the Home and School Association to be held on Tuesday, September 22 at 8 pm. Come along, let's get acquainted with our teachers, our trustees and with one another. Mr. Hemenway, at present a trustee on the old scholl board until the end of the year will be the speaker of the evening and would be glad to answer any questions that have been in the minds of the residents of the Beach. The school- was found to be spanking clean, thanks to our con- scientious caretaker, Mr. Percy Sale and his able side-kick, Cecil Kaiser, assisted by Messrs. Hem- enway and Routley who did a good- ly bit of painting. The blackboards have been low- ered and additional lighting is to be installed for better vision. A sink has been installed in the little room at the rear of the school with suit- able drainboards. It is hoped that in the near future some improve- ment can be made in the drinking water facilities. MINERAL WATER Speaking of drinking water, one of our better known residents re- cehtly had a chemical analysis tak- en of the water from his w through the courtesy of the On- tario Research Foundation. He was informed that there was a high percentage of iron, aluminum and lime in the water. This gives rise to the question .... "Could this be the reason there are fewer cavities in our teeth since we arrived at the Beach?" . . . It's something to think about anyway, as the gentle- man who gav us this interesting information has definite proof that cavities have been on the decline in members of his family in the two years he has been a resident. We are glad to hear that Mrs. Louttete is home from the hospital after a stiff bout with the whoop- ing-cough bug. We certainly sym- pathize with you, having had the same ailment in our family. FINAL SERVICE The final Sunday evening service COMING EVENTS Preparations are already being made for the construction of a new public school in the south- east section of the town of Whitby. The town, on behalf of the Whitby Public School Board has purchased a lot sufficiently large to become a school ground. The negotiations for the lot, part of what is now known as the Ottenbrite Subdivsion, were begun early this summer and completed only a short while ago. The lot purch:sed by the town contains seven and one-half acres and was purchased for, $10,000. The lot is east of the southerly projection of bh Street and a of the pro- Whitby Buys Lot For New School jectio:: of St. Lawrence Street. Compared to other school lots in the town, this is the largest with the exception of Hillcrest School which sits .on a lot of about nine and one-half acres. Four acres of that lot has been used for the Coronation Park. The purchase was made when it became known to the Board members that there was consider- able building of homes in that section of the town. Besides the Ottenbrite development, there are a great many other privately con- structed new homes - bei built there. The purchasg and site met with the approval of the Town Planning Board.

In an address prepared for the annual conference of the Interna- tional Association of Chiefs of Po- lice, the head of Canada's federal law enforcement agency enunci- ated Canadian policy on "police responsibility in internal security." He emphasized however. a sharp difference between dictatorship po- lice and democratic police who were "not blind servants of the state but are answerable only to the law and to their fellow citi- zens." He interpreted the RCMP secur- ity job: *".. .

It is simply that persons with a Communist history or connection must not be entrusted with government secrets nor given employment which will put them in contact with such secrets or plans. . . . "If there is a risk it must be resolved in favor of the country rather than the individual." country calls itself of the summer season was held at the Community Church on Sep- tember 6. David Findlay was the speaker of the evening and Gunner Knudsen sang several numbers. It is rather a sad feeling to end these services, but most of the summer residents' leave for home on Labor Day and the considerable drop in the number attending these evening services does not merit holding them for the winter months in the auditorium. However, the morning Sunday school will still open its doors promptly at 11 a.m. and we are looking forward to big- ger and better attendance as far as the children are concerned in the coming months. We do wish the parents would accompany the children occasion- ally if only to see what they are missing in Christian fellowship by failing to attend with their family. The singing of 60 husky, healthy children is a thing you won't eas- ily forget, not to mention their aptness at being able, to find scrip- ture references in a minimum of time. CORN ROAST The annual corn roast for the church congregation and Sunday School was held last Friday night in spite of the rain. The large group retreated to the church basement when the clouds threatened rain at any moment, and gorged them- selves on corn, Freshie and peaches, interspersed with hearty singing and accordion music. Need- less to say . . . a good time was had by all The Hemenways will be enter- taining Robert Brown of Montreal this weekend. Their granddaughter, Miss Susan Madigan, is still visit- ing them adding variety and vital- ity to the whole family.

Miss Ina Shetler and Miss Donna Manning were entertained at a birthday sup- per on Thursday evening in honor of their respective birthdays. During the course of the last week, the Mannings also entertain- ed the Corbetts of Whitby; Mr, and Mrs. Bill Wilde of Whitby; Mrs. Neta Hoagland and Maybeth, Mr. and Mrs. Riddell and their nieces, all of Oshawa; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Shetler and children, and Mr. and*Mrs. James Shetler and Mr. Allan Shewring, all of Osh- awa, Mr. and Mrs. W.
