Â¥Shiished Every Monday and M by : Canadaâ€"$82.00 Per Year United Statesâ€"83.00 Per Year It is practically impossible to trip up a doctor in his own sphere. Dr. McCullough protected himâ€" self when he used the word "jingle" in making the quotation. Otherwise it might have been said that he got his "bugs" and "fleas" mixed, which would be disastrous, as anyone who has had the two at the one time must realize. A "jingle," however, may be anythlng Had the learned doctor careâ€" Prospectors and others in this North are likely to be sending post haste to Dr. McCullough for the "bug" that will get on the back of the festive mosquito and bite it good and plenty, or still betâ€" ter the "bug" that will take a place on the back of the North Land‘s blackfly. Dr. McCullough illustrates the theory by the quoting of what he terms a "jingle":â€" "Big bugs have other bugs Upon their backs to bite ‘em; And little bugs have lesser bugs, And so on, ad infinitum." Probably it was something like this that The Advance cartoonist had in mind during the reâ€" cent provincial election when he pictured a man carrying the load of a newspaper on his back, while the newspaper had a fat man on its back, supposing it had a back. The use of parasites to destroy other injurious parasites has recently been illustrated in this North where a small insect has been imported to combat the Spruce sawfly which is threatening the spruce forests of Canada. Some weeks ago quantities of this parasite were released in the Temagami Forest Reserve where there were some slight evidences of the work of the European spruce sawfly. It is understood that the parasite imported for the purpose made short work of the European spruce sawfly. Probably Dr. John W. S. McCullough, the gifted writer for the Health League of Canada, had the ballyhoo artists in mind, when he wrote an inâ€" teresting article on parasites and their scientific use in these modern times. This article appears in anocther column of The Advance toâ€"day. Dr. McCullough touches on the romance of natural history in the scientific use of one form of parasite to prey on other parasites that carry disease. The theory goes back three hundred years or more. Dean Swift broke into poetry about it in his day, answering the ballyhoo artists of that time by pointing out that though they bit him, the Nemeâ€" sis bug was on their trail, for there were fleas to bite them, and fleas upon those fleas, and so on ad infinitum. Thus nature kept an equilibrium. At first glance, "Bugs and Fleas‘" may appear an undignified heading for an editorial, but readers will overlook it when they know the reason. The correct word, ‘"Parasites," could scarcely be used because the ballyhoo artists, looking for something about that $278,000 surplus, would be sure to imagine that "Parasites‘"‘ meant people from Paris, and so they would be lost again, like the surplus. Because of all this it is a pleasure to see a special number that has full reason, rather than excuseâ€" that is of outstanding value to advertisers and readers alike, and that is a credit to its publishers, as well as a decided benefit to an important indusâ€" try, Such a special is the Annual Number of The Northern Miner. The Northern Miner issues a good newspaper each week for the mining indusâ€" try and for those interested in mines. Then once or twice a year it issues a special that is a special. The Annual Number of The Northern Miner issued last week is a remarkable volume in every way. Volume is the right word, because it comprises 160 bages, with enough materia} to make a couple of goodâ€"size library books. In concise but compreâ€" hensive way the Annual Number gives the mining picture for this North Land, for Ontario, for all Canada. To call it a valuable contribution not only to the mining industry and all interested in it, but also the Dominion of Canada, is not to overâ€" step the mark. Last week The Advance reproâ€" duced some of the excellent articles from the special number of The Northern Miner. Other equally valuable articles from the issue will be found elsewhere in these columns, duly credited. In other succeeding issues The Advance will find place for other articles from the Annual Number. That gives an idea of the honest opinion of The Advance in regard to this special number with its special articles and its regular features that have made The Northern Miner a leader among class publications. No one knows better than the honest newsâ€" paperman that the special page, the special secâ€" tion and the special number can easily develop into little better than a "racket"â€"an excuse for the meritless publication to sponge on advertisers without giving its readers any extra value. Some of the ridiculous excuses offered for issuing speâ€" cilal sections or special numbers give painful illusâ€" tration of this fact. The average good newspaper is continually seeking to avoid unnecessary special issues and special sections that have no other basis than high pressure money for the publishers. Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Nov. 4th, 1937 A WORTHY SPECIAL NUMBER BUGS AND FLEAS the conflict, and other nations may not be abise to help becoming involved. The fact that he did not mention Britain by name makes his utterâ€" ances the more suggestive. "Our hope," the Japanese publisher said, "is that America will reâ€" By odd coincidence two articles near each other on the front page of The Globe and Mail further suggest the fear of the possible coming of war. The one item is a despatch from Lindsay telling of plans for the reâ€"opening in the spring of the Dominion Government arsenal there. The factory iq to be prepared at once for the reâ€"opening of work, and in the spring it is expected it will be again manufacturing shell materials for war purâ€" poses. The other article tells of an interview at New York with Shingoro Takalski, Japanese pubâ€" lisher of the Tokio newspaper, Nichi Nichi. This publisher is one of the leading citizens of Japan, and a man of vision as well as of influence. His forecast was that within a year there will be anâ€" other world war, unless the present trouble beâ€" tween Clhiina and Japan is adjusted. He suggested that Russia in all probability would enter on the side of China, and that would be a signal for Gerâ€" many to back Japan. France, with its alliance to support Russia, would be dragged into. One of the oddâ€"facts commented upon by many from the North after visiting Britain has been the idea that there has been little talk and apparently little thought in the Old Country in regard to the danger of war. More than one Timmins man reâ€" turned from the Old Country to comment upon this. "The people in England, Ireland and Scotâ€" land appear to be too busy at work and at play to consider the idea of war. Seldom is the thought of war referred to in conversation, or mentioned in Old Country newspapers." Expressions like these were made by most visitors returning to the North after visiting Britain. Sometimes there was added comment to the effect that all the war talk appeared to be confined to this continent, or at least to the newspapers on this side of the ocean. In the last week or two, however, there has been a decided change in the attitude of British public men and British newspapers. The murder of British soldiers by the Japanese has changed the temper of the people. To the average Britisher wreaths or official regrets are not sufficient restiâ€" tution for the loss of British lives. There is a probability also that the British people_have been nursing a grievance in regard to the rape of Ethioâ€" pia. It may be that the people of the Old Land did not wish to mention war, so long as they were so unprepared that they had perforce to sit back and see a peaceful nation despoiled and slaughâ€" tered without due excuse. The fact that they are prepared toâ€"day may have its effect in making them more vocal in condemnation of the Japanâ€" ese and their attempt to rob China and slaughter its people in the robbing. For years now people in Canada have been fearâ€" ing the commencement of another world war. They have certainly had grounds enough for such alarm. There have been literally scores of inciâ€" dents and situations that a few short years ago would have meant nothing else but war between nations, and so closely are the interests and the very safety of many nations allied that a modern war between any two important powers would apâ€" pear inevitably to drag in other nations until the conflict would almost inevitably assume the proâ€" portions of another world war. The fact that so many apparent causes for war have been passed over Withoyt actual battle may lead to the hope that the world will somehow or other maintain a resemblance to sanity and that a world war will continue to do no more than threaten. In his article Dr. McCullough barely touches the subject. Just scratches the ‘surface, as it were, this being the usual procedure with fleas and bugs. It is a subject, indeed, on which much more might be said. Indeed, there is reason to believe that nuch more has been .said, but not for publication. The application of the theory of a succession of bugs or fleas preying one upon the back of the other could be extended to human life and conâ€" duct. It could be pointed out; for example, that the political flea or bug feasting on the back of the public, eventually succumbs to the voracity of the other fleas or bugs that fasten on the backs of each other. Anyone with the itch to write upon the subject can take this up here. lessly used the word "quotation," he would have been caught in the act of changing fleas to bugs, for the quotation goes back to Dean Swift who died nearly two hundred years ago, and to Augustus De Morgan, some fifty years behind Swift, who told the whole story in these words:â€" P "Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite ‘em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so p,d infinitum. ‘ And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on; _ While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on." While neither â€"bugs nor fleas are to be preâ€" ferred, any more than blackflies or mosquitoes, there is a distinct difference between the two, and so likely between the lesser fleas and bugs that prey upon them. The dictionary defines "bugs" as the "popular name applied to insects comprising the subâ€"order hemiptera heteroptera. They have four wings." On the other hand (or on the other back) the dictionary definition for a flea is:â€""A small wingless insect of the polex genus." It is a comfort thus to know that the flea lacks wings to get a running start for his bite.â€" Accordingly the bug would seem to be four wings worse. Thus is prophecy fulfilled! A local citizen two years ago said it would be a cold day when the mayor laid the cornerstone for the new town hall. There will be general hope that the same paâ€" tience, the same talent that has kept the world from a general war through all the difficulties and dangers of the past few ytars will continue its good work and thus avert further destruction of lives and property among the soâ€"called civilized peoples of the earth. There are times, however, when it seems that only the rattling of the sabre and the threat of guns are of much avail in the present world in keeping peace. ns 48 t w atte insy C in ol i: lc ns 4 Pss c en t in n ie nc ‘GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER h e e T Special air bases, with radio stations, were established at both ends of the run. Some of the machinery to be moved raised difficult problems because of its great weight and bulkiness. The ore compressors weighed, when assemâ€" bled, 14,000 pounds and the hoist 4,800 pounds. The subâ€"base of the compresâ€" sor was 15 feet long. It was cut in two and provision made for reassembly at the new site. Each piece weighed half a ton. Two tractors weighed, respecâ€" tively, 6,250 and 5,700 pounds. They were taken apart, the heaviest single pieces carried in the planes being the motors, which weighed 1,800 and 1,230 pounds. The contract was completed within scheduled time. Used to Ship Fish An interesting form of air freighting enterprise which is peculiar to Canada Commercial aviation in Canada proâ€" vides perhaps the world‘s best example of the benefits conferred on mankind by the airplane. The Dominion‘s imâ€" mense territory and lack of adsquate ground communications make it ideal for the proper development of civil flying enterprise, and Canadian air transport companies have done much to â€" make ‘possible the exploitation of areas that are inaccessible except by air, thereby adding greatly to the naâ€" ~tional wealth. Mining Plant Transported Far the larger, part of the aerial freighting is associated with mining. Typical of the kind of contract that mining brings to the air transport conâ€" cern was that fulfilled by Wings, Ltd. It called for transportation of an entire mining plant a distance of 145 miles, from a terminal 325 miles east of Lake Winnipeg to a new mining site just over the Ontario boundary. The total weight of cargo involved was mors than 600,000 pounds, and included a mine hoist, a mine cage, sinking buckets, rock drills and steel, steel rail, eight ore cars, 60,000 pounds of dynamite, 70 workmen and their belongings and food stuffs weighing more than 80,000 pounds. | The banner on the front page of the same issue of The Globe and Mail is also suggestive. ‘"House Cheers Eden‘s Attack on Il Duce," it says. main neutralâ€"will remain a good judge." This also has its own hidden meaning. Freight carriage in 1936 increased by 43 per cent. over the 1935 aggrezate to approximately 25,250,000 poundsâ€" 11,272 tonsâ€"while airmail reached a new high level of 1,153,812 pounds. Fortyâ€"three freight carriers returned figures included in the year‘s aggogate. The eight lagest operators among them accounted for 19,500,000 pounds. Canadian transport planes have set new records for amounts of expressâ€" freight and airmail carried, according to statistics specially compiled from the results of exhaustive inquiry among many companies engaged in diverse forms of commercial air cperation throughout the country, says a despatch from Montreal.

During the past seven years; air freighting in Canada has grown from a few isolated operations to become an industry engaging more than 40 operâ€" ating concerns, serving vast regions in what is commonly called the "Northâ€" land", where other forms of transport are for the most part impracticable and are always more expensive:‘ Minâ€" ing and air freighting have developed together in recent years, while the apâ€" plication of air services to problems of everyday transport and communicaâ€" tions is bringing profound changes to the social and economic life of "fronâ€" tier" areas from Aklavik on nthe exâ€" treme westerly Arctic coast of Canada to the little Mgadalen Islands in the Gulf of St Lawrence. stocking of small lakes.

The fish were carried in cans, and while the plane flew slowly over the lake they were placed in nets and dropped from a height of approximâ€" ately 1,000 feet. Subsequently, 600 of the fish were recovered, and the results indicated a loss of only 5 per cent.
