a single knockout blow. His food is nearly gone and he knows that Canada can ship abroad to our Allies," stated Dr. Christie. Italy, of course, was alâ€" ways in a semiâ€"starving condition, 50 ecould spare no crop surplus to help Germany. . ""*Is it possible for our prosperous gominion to sit idly by in the midst of starving nations? I tell you, it can‘t be done." declared Dr. Christie, who as assistant US. secretary of agriculture in the last war helped Herbert Hoover feed Belgian refugees, "We‘ll have to share our food. We can‘t wait until next January either. We‘ll have to preâ€" pare now. "Never before have Canadians faced such a situation. In the last war we sent aid across the ccean. We‘ll have to do that again, but in addition, we‘re having our responsibilities in the form of refugee children brought right into our homes. And these children can‘t be raised by elderly folk. It‘s a tenâ€"year jcb, ane for young people warned Dr. Christie. The nutrition course, for which 150 women will be picked by their local Red Cross branches, will be based on the information in "Food for Health in and War," prepared by the Canadian Medical Association to proâ€" tect Canadian families against the disâ€" eases which so often weaken nations in wartime. The bock is being distriâ€"| buted to 1,500,000 Canadian homes with | the aid of the Red Cross and life inâ€" suramwke companies Called the "war emergency course on nutrition," it will emphasize practical instruction andl actual demonstration in the coocking lwboratories at Guelph, so that those taking the course will be qualified to go back to their home towns and show other women advanced methods of cooking and meal planning drawn up by Dr. Christie‘s staff and medical men. : Cooking has been included in the course for taking care of refugee chilâ€" dren, but it will be taught less intenâ€" sively. â€" Other subjects, however, will include sewing so that used garments can be made over for the little stranâ€" gers, gardening, and several phases of | childâ€"rearing. There will be no charge for the comirses, the only cost to the applicant being a flat charge of $25 for room and board at the college, plus transportaâ€" tion to and from Gueliph. Courses will last four weeks, beginning July Ind. | One course will teach nutrition to 150 women selected from towns and cities across the province, so that on their return to their own communities they can demomitrate to housewives how to prepare wholesome meals at low cost.© This course will have the joint approval of the medical body, the Ontario government, which has made the agricultural college available during July, and the Red Cross, which will select the women, assisted by pubâ€" lic health nurses, the Victorian Order of Nurses and alumnae of the School of Household Science, TLife insurance companies operating in Canada will asgist financially. The other course, to be held at the same time, will teach 450 younger wOr men how to care for the refugee chilâ€" dren which governments expect will soon arrive in Canada in everâ€"increasâ€" ing numbers. It will be open to any who wish to attend, as distinguished from the first course, for which only one or two women from a community will be weccepted . "If Canada is to become the pantry for warâ€"torn Furope, more of our woâ€" menâ€"folk should know how to get the utmost in health cout of our foodstuffs. We have an ample supply of food in Canada for cur own needsâ€"but who knows how soon we shall be required to share cur stocks with our allies in Europe, which many authorities believe is even now threatened by widespread famine? We must not be unprepared for any emergency," explained Dr. T. C. Routley, general secretary of the Canâ€" adian Medical Association. Dr. G. 1. Christie, president at O.AXC., felt that Europe faces early famine and that Canada must be prepared to ship abroad large amounts of foodstuffs, in addition to caring for throngs of reâ€" fugee children. That is why both courses will feature food conservation in all its various departments, cooking, canning and avoidance of waste in preâ€" paration. In illustrating the need for this instruction, he pointed out that the air force cooks had up to 30 per cent shrinkage in cooking meats by former methods. At OA.C. they are learning mcthods which keep waste to a minimum. "I personally am fearful that both the Allies and our enemies will be starving in the next few months. There will be no crop this year in Holland, Belgium, northern France and little produced in Norway,. Our navy will prevent grainsg with which to feed liveâ€" stock from reaching Denmark. In Germany, the extreme cold of last winter poiled eonrmeus quantitiee of vegetaibles inâ€"pits and the canned goods kept in reserva already have been alâ€" ,lptted to the Nazi army. That is the @evelopment, in my opinion, which drove Hitler in risking everything on "All the proâ€"Germans in this country wouldn‘t fill a decentâ€"sized duckâ€"pond." deciares a correspondent. Still, it‘s an idea.â€"Fredericton Gleaner. Toronto, July 6th,â€" The Medical Association in executive sesâ€" slon here recently approved plans for two special wartime emergency courses at Ontario Agricultural College, Gueliph, designed to equip women to assist in Canada‘s war effort.

W. Foster, one of the pioneers of the North Land, who died at his home in Toronto on June 23rd, 1920. In this connection The Advance said:â€" "The late>~ Mr. Foster was a resident of the North for many yvears in the early days and was widely known and highly esteemed by all. In partnership with the late W. H. Wilson, of Timmins, he opened the first hasdware store in Golden Cfty when that town was the only place of importance in the Porcupine. From about 1914 to 1918 he was magistrate of Kirkland Lake as well as postmaster there and also successfully conducted a commercial business in that camp. He was prominent in fraternal circles and was the first Master of Porcupine Lodge A. F. A. M. In 1918 he moved from Kirkland Lake to Toronto where he was given an important position of the field staff or the New York Life Asâ€" surance So., his field covering New Ontario where he was consequently a frequent visitor, always warmly welâ€" comed by his many old friends in the North. He was born in Dundalk, Ontâ€" ario, and was only 35 years of age at the time of his death. Some years ago he became interested in mines and took a noteworthy part in the development of the North Land. For some months past he had been suffering much from rheumatism, death eventually resulting from this illness. The late Mr. Foster was a member of the Methodist church a past Master of Porcupine Lodge, A.â€" F. A. M., and a member of the Barâ€" rie Lodge of the Scottish Rite. He was buried with Masonic honours, Porâ€" cupine and Golden Beaver Lodges of this district sending their tributes of esteem and regard. A widow, two sons, Leonard and Ralph and two daughters, Vivian and Irene, are left to mourn the loss, and to these the very sincere and heartfelt sympathy of all who knew him in the North Land will go out at this sad time." ~A young fellow came into Timmins twenty years ago with a badly burned face and a thrilling story of a desperate bush fire in which he said twenty men had lost their lives. On account of his badly burned face and injuries to his hands and arms his story received some credence though there were some smells of fish about it. As soon as he learned of the tall story Chief Fire Twenty years ago a party of 130 members of the National Editorial Asâ€" sociation of the United States toured the North Land and expressed themâ€" selves as particularly pleased with their visit to Timmins. They freely stated that they were surprised, amazed and delighted with what they saw here. They did not expect to find so modâ€" ern and upâ€"toâ€"date a town so far north. They were also especially pleasâ€" ed with the welcome given them. At the Empire theatre on their arrival they were given official welcome by the mayor, Dr. J. A. McInnis, who made a particular uit with the gathering. Motion picture films of the Hollinger and other mines were then shown. After the pictures the party was divâ€" ided into groups, taken in motor cars to the mines, the river and other points of interest. About sixty went underâ€" ground at the Hollinger, while these and others went through the mill as well The party travelled in the new "million dollar train" of the Canadian National Railways. The cars were all steel and modern in every feature, There were six standard sleeping cars, two dining cars, tourist and baggage cars. The train was insured for 1,000â€" 000. and each guests‘s baggage for $300. for the trip. Two trained nurses traâ€" velled _ with theâ€"train.. _The party had their own special photographer, and needless to say he got many good views here. The trip covered 4,000 miles and occupied four weeks. The party was representative of all parts of the United States. The Advance published a full list of the delegates. There were many of the party of editors who spent an hour or two looking over The Advance, pronouncing plant and paper alike as most creditable.. Ranger Geo. Woodcock investigated. He found the young fellow had not been near any bush fires, and there had been no loss of life from any bush fire such as the woung man recounted. The truth of the matter proved to be that the young man had been working as A reassuring statement from the fedâ€" eral government, however, states that the presence of German prisonersâ€"ofâ€" war in Canada is no cause for nervâ€" ousness, and adds that the internâ€" ment camps are well constructed and amply guarded to prevent any Nazis outbreak.

Boivin‘s camps, and attempting to light a fire by the use of coal oil he had met with a comâ€" mon experience ftom that sort of trick and had been badly burned. The young feilow then "beat it" to town, and found the story about a bush‘fire miuch more heroic than the truth would have been. Fire Ranger Woodcock said that he was delighted that the story of the bad bush fire had been proven untrue, but he pointed out that it was just yarns such as this that added care and trouble and enxiety to the work of the authorities. They could not afford to take the chance of ignoring eten wild stories that concerned their work, but at the same time needles}; alarm and annoyance were cause by such yarns as the one in question. He thought from the beginning that the story was untrue but it took time and trouble to prove it to be false. The Advance twenty years ago said :â€" "The plant and property of the Three Nations Mine in Whitney township is offered for sale. There has only been a small amount of work done on this property which is about half a mile southâ€"east of the Keora. The oldâ€" timers had a good opinion of the Thrse Natons property and express; the opinâ€" ion now that it has never had a fair chance to show what is in it. They think that if this property were develâ€" oped properly it would prove a mine of value and promise." PS.â€"This proâ€" perty now, in 1940, is known as the Pamour. Even the idea of landing troops by air is not a new one. In 1828 a certain Mr. Green astounded this country by suggesting that not only soldiers but even cavalry might be carried over the enemy lines by means of balloons. To substantiate his claim he declared that, he himself had already made one such ascent on horseback from London. a further public demonstration and for the next 22 years he suffered mercilâ€" ess ragging at the hands of all his friends and acquaintances. Finally he to silence his tormentors and announcd he would make an ascent on horseback from Vauxhall Gardens. The mount he chose was hardly worthy of the name horse, being a diminutive pony, but the large crowd that gathered forgave the slight ovatâ€" ion when he actually did rise into the air mounted on the pony‘s back. But even this feat was completely put in the shade two years later when (From the Manchester Guardian) In condemning medern methods of warfare one is apt to forget that the ancients invented incendiarism. Back in Biblical times armies threw upon each other burning oils and flaming fire balls of resin and straw. Delium in 424 B. C. saw the first flame proâ€" jectorâ€"a hollow tree trunk with a basin of burning materials at one end and bellows to blow the flame jet on the enemy. In the days of the Trojan King: Aeneas burning pots of resin, sulphur, pitch and tow were projected Forerunners of today‘s incendiary bombs are seen in the inflammable bombs catapulted by the Romans and in the tubeâ€"like incendiary arrows. All these preceded the famous Greek Fire (believed to have been invented by the Syrian Callinicus), which was used even in the wars of the Middle Ages. The troops of the Byzantine Empire used it against the Saracens and saved the empire by its means. For centuries it was a secret weapon ; finally, it was proved to consist of pitâ€" ch, resin, sulphur, and petroleum as combustibles with the reaction between quicklime and water to set it going; water for extinguishing it had to be used carefully, as it has on the therâ€" mite of today. a Frenchwoman, Mme.

Three. women discussing their husâ€" bands : One of them protested against the defenders being called out "except in case of actual invasion." Pitt mildly suggested that that would be too late, but the objector was unconvinced, A little later he declared, regarding anâ€" other clause in the bill, that he "never wouldâ€" consent to being sent out: of England". *"Except, I suppose", retortâ€" ed Pitt, "in case of an actual invasion."

There is no material thought at Swasâ€" tika in regard to any change of name. Swastika, is not a German name and there is no earthly reason for thinking of changing the name. Any agitation there may be in the matter seems to come from Smooth Rock Falls Legion‘s resolution to have the name of the town changed. Apparently the outâ€" side newspapers confused the Smooth Rock Falls people with the Swastika people a hundred miles further north. Also the Smooth Rock Falls people apâ€" pear a little confused in suggesting the changingy of the name Swastika. It is not connected in any way with Gerâ€" many it was named before there was any Nazis in Germany, and long beâ€" fore the Germans stole the swastika as an emblem. The swastika is an anâ€" cient emblem going back centuries beâ€" fore there was a Germany. It would be as logical to ask a change in the name of Holland, or Poland, in Ontario, beâ€" cause these countries have been plundâ€" ered by Germany.
