December 30, 1936 \u201cWhat Shall We Do With It?\u201d F there is ever an hour when people, whether old or young, are more than usually disposed to make a fresh start, it is probably at the beginning of a New Year.And there is a good reason for this disposition, it is a period of hopefulness and gladness, and \u201cwell begun is half done.\u201d \u201cNew Year's Day\u201d is a point of time of which we feel some note should be taken\u2014when we should pause a while and think.It is the beginning of another chapter in the history of life\u2014a tale that is soon _ told.The Old Year is like a page that is all written over, or shall we say it is like another volume of a series completed?But the New Year is like an unwritten page\u2014pure and white it lies before us.Yet it bears no record of shame or of heroism, of sin or of virtue, of shadow or of light.We are the writers beginning the writing today, and we wonder what the story will be, and how it will read when the year is gone, and we have written the last word.In a sense, deeper than we sometimes think, it depends upon us as to whether the page shall at the end of the year be fair or dark.We are sure the feeling, in many of your hearts, with which you view the opening year is one of thankfulness to your Heavenly Father that He has brought you so far in safety.And that is a feeling to be cherished, for where there is a thankful heart, there is a power by which all our blessings are greatly multiplied.But mingling with thankfulness there is a feeling of wonderment as to what this New Year may have in store for us.There is, however, no prophet to tell us what the way is to be.Every day is a mystery that waits to be unfolded.And it is well that we do not know life before hand.We have all seen how in the reading of a book it is impossible to keep up much interest if we know already the plot and the ending of the story.And so God keeps up for us the interest of life, by preserving the secret to Himself of what is to be in the future.And we do not need to ask or seek to know that secret, because God is our Father, and He\u2019 knows, and our times are in His hands.No child need to vex his heart about the food he will need tomorrow, nor about the raiment he will need next year, for that is his father\u2019s care, and may well all be left to him.And what our earthly fathers are to us, that in even a higher and better way God is to us.He cares for us with a thoughtfulness that never wearies and loves us with a love that can never die.And the more we think about this, the less anxious we feel we have to be, and the more filled our hearts become with trustful and quiet repose.And it is a blessed and a happy state to leave all to the love of God.Well, we have a New Year before us, and a year consists of so many weeks, so many days and so many hours.Yet a useful and happy life does not depend upon the number of years that are in it.The years may be few, and yet a few years make up a very useful life, and a very blessed and a very beautiful life: He liveth long who liveth well, All other life is short and vain.God parcels out life in little portions which we call days.Every morning the sun rises and every evening the sun sets, and the morning and the evening with the space lying between them, make up a day.The days make up the years and the years make up a life.We have, then, to take life by the dzy.Our bread is to be asked for \u201cday by day\u201d and we are promised that as our day so our strength shall be.But you know some people look forward, and think that they have so much to do during the year, and get quite overwhelmed as they think of it.They should remember that if they have so much in the year to do, they have three hundred and sixty-five days in which to do it.An old parable here may teach us all a wise lesson.\u2018There was a clock that had stood for many years beside a wall, ticking solemnly day and night, and proclaiming the hour with due regularity.But one day it began to think how that during the year it would have to tick so many thousands and thousands of times.It thought so much about this task that it became quite frightened at the amount of work it had to do, and it lost heart and suddenly stopped.But a wise spirit was present and rebuked the clock for its folly.\u201cYes, you have to tick so many thousands of times in a year, but you have only to tick so many times a day, and so many times an hour.You have a year's work to do, but you have only to do a day's work in a day.\u201d And the old clock listened to the spirit and begun to tick again as solemnly as before.And we shall find time enough for each task and care, if we simply do each work in its appointed hour, and not bring into our today the burdens and cares of tomorrow.And it is well-spent days that make a well-spent year, and well-spent years that make well-spent life, Now, amongst the plans for the New Year, let the resolution be that you will be more attentive to your religious duties, and leading a good virtuous life.Resolve too, to say your morning and night prayers, asking God to bless the day and thanking Him for the favors of the day.His ear is always open to the humblest cry, and He has encouraged us thus to seek Him.So go to Him each day and entreat of Him to guard you against all temptation.There is nothing that is so full of good to us as having a little converse with our Saviour, before going out to the toils and temptations of the day.It prepares us for what we have to do and bear.We have giants to meet, and prayer alone can make us brave and strong.It fits us alike for joy and sorrow.Bo let each day have two little spaces railed off, morning and evening, in which you will seek your Saviour's help and protection.And then, make it your endeavor every day to do something useful, kind and unselfish.Oppor- tunities for doing this will be always found if we look for them.At home among our companions, or among the poor, the aged and the sick, there are always ways of showing kindness, and when we have done it, Jesus says: \u201cInasmuch as ye have done it to the least of my brethren, you have done it to Me.\" And this is true greatness; nobility is in character rather than in outward title or rank.If you try each day to do something that is useful and unselfish and kind, you will get to be great in the only way in which, before God, there can be greatness.That was how Jesus was great.He was not rich.He was not in favor with the princes of the earth.His parentage was humble and His home was lowly, and He mixed freely with the common people, dressing as they dressed and working as they worked.And yet everybody feels conscious of His kingly greatness, and all because He was so good, so kind, so thoughtful for others, so thoughtless of Himself.Try each day this new year to imitate His example.Keep His image before your eye.Never let one day of this year pass without trying to nmke somebody better and happier.In this way you will be living as your Sav- four lived.and as He is still living.The happiness you give to others shall come back in all sorts of ways to you again, and you shall have what those who love you best are wishing for you at this season, \u201cA Happy New Year.\u201d Said a good man once, ere he died, to his son: \u201cDo as much good in the world as you can, and make as little noise about it as possible\u201d That is not an unworthy ambition for any of us, and so at the beginning of this year, what better thing can we do than go away in humble and earnest prayer to our Father in heaven, and present our bodies in living sacrifice.< Alberta Criticizes Aberhart HE practical consequences of Alberta's repudiation of public and private debts are arousing severe criticism of the Aberhart government from newspapers in Alberta as well as from the press in other provinces.The Lethbridge Herald says: \u201cAlberta, one of the richest provinces in Canada, has lost millions of dollars in the past year, dollars which have gone out of the province and which have been put to work developing the resources of other provinces, while we follow some will-o'- the-wisp theory aimed at creating credit out of thin air.\u201d The Calgary Herald, advocating a common front against the Aberhart government, says: \u201cToday there is no constructive activity in the province, outside capital is giving Alberta a wide berth, progress is at a standstill, and unemployment is soaring.But, worse still, neighbor views neighbor with suspicion, friendships have been sundered, a gospel of intolerance is being preached.Personal liberty is being threatened by a policy of regimentation.\u201d The Arrowwood Resource points out: \u201cThe Social Credit government has been in power about 15 months, and conditions have been getting rapidly worse, but they asked for 18 months, and they are entitled to that time to improve things.There has not been the slightest spirit of self-sacrifice in the members of the legislature or the government.That has all been done by the rank and file of the party, who have been paid with words and promises.\u201d Answering the allegation of Premier Aberhart that destructive criticism interferes with the government\u2019s plans, the People's Weekly of Edmonton asks: \u2018What, then, is the sense in the everlasting complaint against the so-called destructive criticism?The government has complete control, it has the backing of the people, it has an unquestiened mandate to proceed with its program.Why does it hesitate in the face of \u2018destructive criticism'?Surely the critics are comparatively few in number and utterly wrong in their conception of economic realities.Why pay any attention to them?A man proceeding on a road he knows, to a destination of which he is certain, and which he desires to reach as quickly as possible, would scarcely be found loitering along the way arguing with ignorant people who tell him he'll never get there.\u201d Accept the Responsibility EW people are willing to accept responsibility as long as they can side step an issue.Under present conditions thousands are complaining about the failure of churches, governments, economists, statesmen and leaders to solve the problems of the day.They blame others for the circumstances under which the world is working.You hear the church denounced as an utter failure.You hear governments denounced because they lack action.You hear the capitalist denounced as the cause of it all.You hear everyone denounced by the other fellow but you never hear individuals accepting any responsibility themselves for the condition.Who is the government?In this country our legislators are elected by the people to do the will of the majority.If the people refuse to become conversant with the facts and permit a few to control the polls then you will get what you have.People have the right to elect those who will carry out the plans as the people desire.Thus it is not the fault of the government but of the people who have been too lazy to even cast a ballot.Accept the responsibility.Has the church failed?If a study of the situation is made you will discover that the church has done more to keep the right level than any other power.It has failed as far as those who are looking for a place to place responsibility.They have been the failures.They have not done their share in the work and thus handicapped and impeded the movement.When the complaining person realizes that the church is made up of the people and that as one of the people who does not function, he has no right to say the church has failed.With the co-operation of this class greater progress can be made.A study of the world's history will reveal the fact that the church has been the mainstay and has come through the various changing conditions better than any other body or organization.Problems of the day require the formulation of public opinion on a line of action if solution is to be had.These policies can only be stimulated and action had when the public are united on the objective.Instead of taking the attitude so often expressed in the term \u201cI am ag\u2019in the government no matter what it is\u201d a co-operative attitude would help solve the problems and bring action if the public opinion is behind the project.Each individual who fails in his duty is responsible \u2018for present conditions.Let co-operation be one of the resolutions on our New Year's agenda.TRACKS MAN 17 YEARS A brief item in the newspapers reported one W.B.Spencer as having been given a life sentence in California state prison for a $16,000 racetrack swindle at Los Angeles.This recalls a precious swindle by Spencer which also landed him in jail.Seventeen years ago a Texas ranchman, Prank Norfleet, went to Fort Worth to keep an appointment with Spencer, a stranger who was to sell Norfleet's ranch holdings.Spencer tricked Norfleet out of $5,- 000 which he had been induced to put up to bind the trade.Norfleet, mad all over, vowed he would not nest until he saw the entire gang of swindlers who operated with Spencer behind the bars.Then began one of the most remarkable, persistent and finally successful man hunts ever undertaken.Nor- fleet had no experience as a detective and not much means, but his singlehanded pursuit took him to all parts of the United States.Sometimes he was aided by local police and sometimes the local police stood in with the gangsters, but he finally ran down every one of the swindlers.In all probability Norfleet would have failed it it had not been for his faithful wife who stayed at home and kept the ranch going to furnish her husband money for his expenses while he was trailing down the crooks.MANSION MINED One of the finest mansions in Shanghai remains unoccupied because the owner, à Chinese multimillionaire, dare not take possession.When the building was finished and he was about to move in, he received a note from gangsters demanding $35,000.They said they had \u201cplanted\u201d a mine in the mansion, and unless they received the money they would set it off and blow him and his family to pieces.Unwilling to pay, the owner would not risk living in the house, nor would he rent it, thereby endangering the lives of his tenants.So the house remains empty.Most people suspect the gangsters are \u201cbluffing.\u201d POORHOUSE BOARDER Seven years ago, after his wife died, Leonard Glidden, Civil War veteran, Millerstown, O., had no place to go except to the ramshackle old house where he would be obliged to live alone.County authorities wanted to take him to some soldiers\u2019 home, but he refused.\u201cI'll pay my own bills,\u201d he insisted.He refused to go to the county poor house for the same reason although he liked the homey surroundings.He finally made a deal with the county commissioners to admit him to the poorhouse as a \u201cboarder\u201d at $1 a day.The old veteran died the other day at the age of 93 and the county poorhouse lost its only \u201cpaying guest.\u201d IN AGAIN, OUT AGAIN Lightning struck the home of John Walchesky and started a blaze just after the family rushed inside for shelter from a threatening thunderstorm.They fled from the house when they saw the fire but the downpour that followed put out the blaze and back went the Walcheskys to get in out of the storm only to see their home wrecked over their heads by a tornado.That was more than enough excitement for the family for one evening.CITY COPS PALS Henceforth, New York's wayward children are going to be pals of the policemen.It is part of Commissioner Lewis J.Valentine's new programme to prevent juvenile delinquency.To do this, organized play groups are being planned and athletic contests will be held, with the bluecoats always on hand as \u201creg\u2019lar\u201d pals instead of dreaded bugaboos.Thus does Commissioner Valentine hope to swing the problem child into the right path, automatically killing the crime germ in embryo.RAINY DAY BLONDES \u201cSpend sunny days with brunets.Wait for rainy wéather before you seek the company of blondes and redheads.\u201d Such was the advice to young men given by Dr.Charles F.Pabst, noted authority on the hair, broadcasting on behalf of the Brooklyn Academy of Medicine.\u201cBlondes and redheads are \u2018helio- phobes,' or persons who don't tan,\u201d he added, \u201cand are apt to feel blue and depressed on bright sunny days.Brunets, however, are heliophiles and usually feel extremely gay in the sunshine.\u201d OLD WAR HORSE CAN'T FORGET Harnessed to a baker's cart, an old war horse was trotting down a street in Yeovil, England, when he heard shouted commands of \u201cRight face\u201d and \u201cQuick march.\u201d In trying to obey them he collapsed.The commands were being given to the local police force during an inspection parade.Four policemen were required to lift the old horse to his feet again.SOBER 100 YEARS Born four years before the founding of Wellington, capital of New Zealand, John Kilminster has celebrated his 100th birthday.He has never smoked nor taken liquor and he does not go to pictures.\u201cThey are not real,\u201d he said.\u201cNor have I ever danced in my life.But I used to stand at the doors of ballrooms and watch.\u201d His longevity secret\u2014 simple life and ample sleep; no tobacco, no alcohol.MONKEY AT PAINT A monkey got into a shop window at Fort Wayne, Indiana, where there was a special paint and varnish display.It had destroyed a neon sign ,and emptied tins of paint all over the place, doing $160 damage.Only one thing was left untouched.It was a sign reading: \u201cDon't let cheap paint make a mon- key of you.\u201d Chronicled News Bits Specially written for The Huntingdon Gleaner TRY WEEP AND WAIL CORPS A \u201cweep and wall corps\u201d has been organized by a group of creditors at Shanghai.A big Chinese trust company recently suspended operations and creditors of the company, despite all efforts, failed to secure payment through orthodox channels.They put their heads together to devise some more effective means of evoking response.They organized their \u201cweep and wall corps.\u201d Groups of creditors now gather outside the homes of the directors of the company and \u2018lament their plight in loud tones.They hope the embarrassment this procedure causes the directors will prevail on them to give redress.NO TIME TO WASTE At New Albany, Ind, Lawrence Dill, 16, was sentenced to a term in the state reform school at Plain- field.Probation officers, ordered to take the boy to the reform school, could not find him.Later they learned he had started to hitch hike the 100 miles to Plainfield immediately after he heard his sentence, and already was \u201cdoing time\u201d when the officers called for him.SAVED BY A CIGARETTE By the simple act of offering a cigarette, a policeman of Bamberg, North Bavafia, prevented a would- be suicide from taking his life.The suicide, Albrecht Samen, had become depressed through ill-health and had jumped into the river.He was a hundred yards from the shore and swimming feebly when a policeman saw him.Samen paid no attention to his shouts until the policeman took out a cigarette and offered it to him.He thereupon swam ashore, accepted the proffered cigarette, and returned to the Kutzenberg Nursing Home from which he had disappeared the same morning.\u2019 GIRL\u2019S SWIM RECORD Eileen Drake, 11, of Portsmouth, Eig., established a record for girls of her age when she swam from the island of Gozo to Malta, five miles, in 3 hours and 22 minutes.When half way across the channel, she met a strong current which made progress difficult, but despite this she arrived at Malta feeling fresh and not at all tired.Her swimming instructor, Arthur Rizzo, believes Eileen will be capable of swimming the English Channel when she returns to England.PLANE RUNS TRAFFIC Traffic authorities in Chicago have completed plans to use an airplane in expediting traffic on weekends and holidays around that city.Flying above the city, the pilot on this plane, in communication with patrol cars on the ground, will give instructions diverting cars from congested streets and highways to routes less used, thereby avoiding traffic snarls which sometimes keep hundreds of cars standing motionless for hours.NON-GAMBLERS SCARE Indicted for dealing in Irish sweepstake tickets, Oscar and Lincoln Stevenson were brought into a New York court for trial.In selecting a jury, each juryman was asked whether he had ever tried this gambling scheme to make sure they were qualified to decide the case.It was impossible to find 12 jurors who had not admitted buying these tickets so the case had to be postponed.TIGER FIGHTS TRAIN Platelayers entering a jungle tunnel in Kelantan state, Malaya, had a scare when they saw a full grown tigress crouching between the metals.They fled, but when they returned later with reinforcements they found the tigress was dead.She had evidently wandered into the tunnel to sleep and had tried arguments with a train which had invaded her bedroom.This is the first time a tiger has been killed by a train in Malaya.An elephant which was killed by an engine had a tablet erected to its memory, but nobody has as yet opened a subscription list for the tigress\u2019 memorial.GIVES DOPED CIGARETTE The act of offering a friend a cigarette has led to a charge of attempted murder being brought in Cairo, Egypt, against Ibrahim Mas- saoud Hanna.He and the friend, Ibrahim Mekkaoui, met in the presence of an arbitrator to discuss certain differences.The discussions had been amicably settled when Hanna offered Mekkaoui a cigarette.At the first puff Mekkaoui felt dizzy and faint and put the cigarette in his pocket.He complained to the police, and the cigarette, when analyzed was found to contain sufficient potassium cyanide to kill a man after one or two inhalations.DYNAMITE PITS HOLD TREES That his descendants may enjoy giant yellow-wood trees, & man in Van Reenen, Natal, has dynamited great pits in the hard rock and will plant 100 twigs which he has grown from imported seedings.In the pits were placed soil sent from the natural home of the yellow-woods.THREE ROWS TEETH A native boy, who applied for a job at the office of a newspaper in Queenstown, Cape province, was found to possess a remarkable jaw.He had three rows of teeth in front, on his lower jaw, and two rows above.The unusual formation did not appear to worry him in any way.FLY BITE FATAL A verdict of \u201cdeath by misdaven- ture\u201d was returned at a Portsmouth inquest on Herbert Allen Laxton, 52, builders\u2019 laborer, who died from sepicaemia following a bite from a horsefly.Brooklet-Herdman Couple Celebrated Wedding Anniversary On Christmas night the relatives and neighbors of Mr.and Mrs.Ernest Erskine gathered at their home to celebrate with them their thirtieth wedding anniversary.The house was tastefully decorated in red and green in keeping with the Christmas season.On behall of those present the Rev.T.F.Duncan gave the following address and made the presentation: Dear Mr.and Mrs.Erskine,\u2014 We are gathered together with you this evening to celebrate with you this thirtieth anniversary of your wedding day and to express our congratulations

Massage VapoRub briskly on the throat, chest and back (between and below the shoulder blades).Then spread it thick over the chest and cover with warmed cloth, Almost before you finish rubbing, VapoRub starts to bring relief two ways at once\u2014two direct ways: 1.Through the Skin.VapoRub acts direct through the skin like a poultice or plaster.2.Medicated Vapors.At the same time, its medicated vapors, released by body heat, are breathed in for hours\u2014about 18 times a minute \u2014direct to the irritated air-passages of the nose, throat and chest.\u2018This combined poultice-and-vapor action loosens phlegm\u2014relieves irritation\u2014helps break congestion.While the little patient relaxes into comfortable sleep, VapoRub keeps right on working.Often, by morning the worst of the

general opinion of Huntingdon merchants.Although business has not returned to the peak reached in the boom period experienced a few years ago it made a steady increase during the year and the local cash registers played a merry tune as Christmas shoppers thronged into the stores.Favourable reports were heard along all fronts.In the furniture and jewellery business, a steady increase over last season's trad* was felt, and one of the best features was that there was more cash in evidence and not so much credit had to be given out.Merchants who feared outside competition were gratified to see that a good deal of the Christmas shopper's dollar was spent right here in Huntingdon.Some merchants reported a brisk trade in certain lines with American visitors.Montreal departmental stores that have robbed the local merchant of a lot of business in years gone by didn't make such a good showing this year.More mail passed through the local postoffice than at any one season before in its history.Tuesday and Wednesday were particularly busy days for the representatives of His Majesty's mail force.Stamp sales soared to new levels as the highest day's total this year almost doubled that of the previous record for oné day\u2019s sale.The Gore Xmas Entertainment Held On Thursday evening, December 17, an Xmas entertainment was held in the United Church under the auspices of the

SNOOPER\u2019S CoMMENTS There are no further developments in the local hockey situation.There is supposed to be a meeting tonight, however, when it is expected a decision one way or the other will be reached.Canadien and Windsor Silk-Leach representatives are ready to listen to reason on the matter so it appears likely that a satisfactory arrangement will be arrived at.Local opinion seems to think tha it will be impossible to get thr: teams in Huntingdon without having one of them too weak for competition.It has been suggested that if a Huntingdon-Ormstown League is formed each town could supply two teams or if Valleyfield were brought into it one team from Val- leyfleld, two from Huntingdon and one from Ormstown, would make a good league.The weather of the last few days has thrown a wet blanket over hockey activity.No one wants to talk about the game with the ice melting in the rink.Oolder weather is being forecast, though and some definite action expected soon.Valleyfield is still hovering around the third place spot in the Provincial Teague but they are only one point behind Ste.Jerome and three behind Joliette, the leaders.It looks like anybody's championship at this stage of the race, The lid is being pried off the curling season in the Huntingdon rink this afternoon when 15 district rinks are drawn to meet in the St.Anicet Mr.Evangéliste Quenneville spent a week

about it.I have before me the figures for Canada's external trade.For the 12 months ended November 30th (December totals not yet being available) the exports of Canadian produce just miss the billion dollar mark.That was 178 millions more than the year before, 250 millions more than the previous year, 404 millions more than in 1933.Imports, similarly, are up 70 millions above the previous year, 111 millions above the year before, 226 millions higher than 1933.For 17 consecutive months the value of Canadian exports has registered a big gain over the same month of the previous year.Prospects for 1937 What of 1937?Is it too much to expect that at long last the construction industry, including house- building, will return to normal activity, re-employing at one stroke at least 200,000 persons, directly and indirectly?That the federal budget will be brought within a few millions of a balance?That a new trade agreement, practically as advantageous as the last, will be ratified with the United Kingdom?That the burden of unemployment relief will ease everywhere, and in the happier localities disappear altogether.The year 1937 will mark the beginning of the Trans-Canada air mail and passenger service from Winnipeg to Vancouver, and the completion of the landing fields and flying aids in the different section from Ottawa to Winnipeg.It will see the first of an expansion program of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, whereby existing stations will be made more powerful and new ones will be begun.The coming year will see the department of agriculture re-organiz- ed into three main divisions, under a director of production, a director of marketing, a director of experimental farms.It will see a long- two of these.Will 1937 see further lowering of Canada\u2019s tariff wall, notably in British preferential lines?It would not be surprising.Will it see the signing of a new St.Lawrence waterway treaty, or an endorsation of the present one by the United States Senate?Re-vamping the Constitution Will the whole basis of the financial arrangement in the B.N.A.act be studied by a commission of eminent authorities, to see whether a division of obligations and taxing power suitable for 1867 is still adequate?Will the government again go into the wheat business with a government board, or will the Turgeon commission advise that the best interests of all concerned lie in the retention of the present private grain exchange at Winnipeg?And what of Canada\u2019s penitentiaries, now under review by a royal commission.Will there be new stress placed on modern theories of penology and reformation?Given peace and tranquility throughout the world, it would not be difficult to chart with some assurance the main developments of Canadian life in 1937.But all things lie at the moment in the lap of the gods.At least it can be said that the broad foundations are in existence for a period of substantial betterment in Canadian life.Probably some of the worst inequities and injustices remain untouched.But a rising price level for primary products will make it possible once more for goods to be exchanged on a reasonably equal basis.Removal of many trade obstacles will add to the real income of thousands of people.A fair to heavy wheat crop with the good price which is now almost guarantee, coupled with high production and satisfactory prices in other production arears would work wonders.As the national income rises, the relative burden of taxation falls.So does the cost of relief.have been completely re-designed in chassis and body.The car is equipped with a new six-cylinder high- compression valve-in-head engine developing 85 horsepower.The well- planned 1937 Chevrolet with its silk smooth engine, is a landmark in Chevrolet's constant

enjoyed.If the three Protestant churches joined together occasionally for such services they could be assured of a large and interested cofigregation.In St.Joseph's Church, Midnight Mass was celebrated by the pastor, Rev.Father Pigeon, assisted by Rev.Henri Julien, of Valleyfield Seminary, and the curate, Rev.Jean Le- duc, as deacon and sub-deacon.The church was artistically decorated for

Lamonte, Presbyter- fan student, was guest speaker, and delivered a forceful address on the spirit of Christmas.Christmas day passed away very quietly in this locality.Some of the local weather prophets prophesied a green Christmas but in the afternoon, snow accompanied by sleet began to fall so the green Christmas prophecy failed to come true.SUNSHINE A DRY HEAT\u2014GOOD The \u201cinfra-red ray\u201d is one of my stand-bys in giving local, office treatment where heat gives beneficial results.In long experience in the application of heat to the body, I am able to state the following facts.\u2018There is a vast difference between LIGHT and DARK heat when applied to the body.There is also great contrast in the effects of CONTACT heat, and heat coming from a distance.Heat in contact with the body cannot be tolerated by the skin, if it is really hot enough to produce lasting effect: therefore I prefer heat coming from a luminant eighteen or twenty inches distant.The infra-red ray is of positive value in treating diseases of deep- seated glands.The heat should not come through a glass bulb in its passage to the patient, but should come from an electrically-heated body direct.There is all the difference imaginable in DRY heat and MOIST heat.I prefer dry heat in reducing chronic inflammations of stubborn kinds, such as arthritis, and chronic congestions.The heat-waves stimulate circulation locally, in organs over which they are applied.Fat patients with synovitis in the knee joints are greatly benefited by DRY heat, from a distance of twenty inches, 25- minute sittings, daily.Wet heat in contact does little or no good.It is possible to heat tissues two and a half inches deep from the surface, with the infra-red ray apparatus.One cannot bear contact heat with volume enough to reach deeper tissues.Sunlight is dry heat, and is one of nature's greatest health-givers; it has a definite percentage of the ultra-violet ray.Modern apparatus gives sun-ray treatments on cloudy days.Huntingdon The Misses Beatrice and Madeline Ourran of Montreal, spent Christmas with their parents, Mr.and Mrs.M.W.Curran.Miss Isobel McEwen is enjoying the holidays at her

away Saturday morning, December 26th, at 6 o'clock in the rectory of that church after an illness of about five weeks.His death was due to cerebral thrombosis.He was stricken with a shock a month ago and had been confined to his bed since that time.His condition was considered critical throughout his illness.Father McMahon received the pastorate of St.Joseph's Church in January, 1932.Ten years previous to that date he was pastor of St.Bridget's Church in Trout River.Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, Father McMahon left that place at the age of 17 for Rome, Italy, where he was later ordained a member of the Franciscan order.He was in Italy seven years.He also took courses at Columbia University.Upon returning to the States he served with the Franciscans in the doicese of Detroit, Grand Rapids, Mich., and Hoboken, N.J.Then, becoming a secular priest, he served as assistant in Watertown and Ticonderoga.Before going to Trout River, he was pastor for a while in Sackets Harbor.Father McMahon, a very well educated man, made friends with persons in every walk of life.He was especially popular with the children.He was highly sincere and devoted his life entirely to the ministry and to the community.He is survived by one brother, D.J.McMahon, a hotel man in Chicago.Father McMahon's body lay in state in St.Joseph's Church from Monday afternoon until Tuesday morning when the funeral services were held.Burial followed in St.Joseph's Cemetery at Bombay.SNAPSHOTS .educational I saw a statistic the other day to the effect that three families out of by stereopticon lectures, in which \u201cstill\u201d pictures were projected on the screen by what we used to call a magic lantern.My father eked out his ministerial income by giving thece illustrated lectures in small New England towns, and I was sometimes privileged to accompany fim on his horse-and-wagon lecture urs.Before the electric light, the most brilliant light.obtainable was the oxyhydrogen limelight.A stream of oxygen and one of hydrogen were focussed upon a block of calcium carbonate, which became brilliantly incandescent under the flame of the mingled gases.We carried the gas supply in two huge rubber bags, my father made the oxygen and hydrogen at home and filled the bags before we started out.One of my jobs was to sit on the oxygen bag to force the gas to flow last enough.including the children and even Tabby the cat.Many situations arise that are amusing but at the same time true to life and quite pointed.However the city guests fail to come at the last moment.And to avoid wasting all the food prepared, a poor family, the Smiths, are invited to dinner.The cast of characters was taken as follows: Mr.Bennet, Mr.Welch; Mrs.Ben- net, Mrs.Bruce Ness; Grandmother.Mrs.Bennie; Sue, Violet Landon; Tom, Earle Templcton; Maid, Eloa Ness; Mr.and Mrs.Smith, Mr.and Mrs.Wallace Kerr; Tabby, the cat, Norma Rorison; Neighbour cat, Ina Bennie.Solo parts were taken by Violet Landon, Earle Templeton, Mrs.Bruce Ness; Norma Rorison, Ina Bennie and Santa Clause and all portrayed their character exceptionally well.Mrs.Welch played the accompaniments throughout.A hearty vote of thanks to Mr.and Mrs.Welch was moved, and to all others who had contributed to the success of the cantata.A meeting of the Ladies C.C.met on Mon.night at the home of Mrs.Syd Stewart.The president,

idea that his company could gather some goodwill for itself by broadcasting an hour of dinner music.The hour selected was from six to seven.The plan met with the approval of the various department heads and the hoard of directors, but the chairman of the board interposed a vigorous objection.\u201cI never knew anything more absurd in my life,\u201d he sputtered.\u201cDinner music from six to seven! Why, nobody sits down to dinner before 7:30.\" No argument would move him.Indeed, he burst into his office a couple of days later very triumphant.\u201cI told you so,\u201d he exclaimed.\u201cI came in on my yacht from Newport and I had twenty guests.I asked each one of them \u2018what is your regular dinner hour?\u2019 Some said 7:39, some said 8 o'clock.Nobody eats from six to seven.\u201d He had talked to twenty people on a yacht and he thought he was getting a cross section of the American people.Much of the bad judgment and trouble in the world originates from this habit of picking isolated bits of information and proceeding forthwith to construct a general statement.Bacon remarked that it is the nature of the mind of man to the extreme prejudice of knowledge to delight in the special liberty of generalities.Scientists, physicians, tains, and airplane pilots do not generalize.Writers, orators, economists and politicians do to the vast annoyance and injury of the rest of the

Six Midnight and Percy Jones PY Yince Starret \u201cI know your name,\u201d said Dallas.\u201cDon't give me one of your cards.I know exactly who you are, if it's any comfort to you.You're an amateur detective.Apparently you .think it gives you privileges.\u201d \u201cI'm not claiming any tonight,\u201d said Blackwood.\u201cAren't we being a bit ridiculous, Dallas?This sounds like Gilbert and Sullivan to me.\u201d \u201cI don't care if it sounds like O'Connor and Goldberg,\u201d said the detective.\u201cI'd like an explanation of your presence here, You say you were at a party upstairs and heard our radio call come through.That was a rather unusual coincidence, wasn't it?\u201d \u201cI thought so myself,\u201d Blackwood, smiling, \u201cThen we agree about that.Did you ever see this dead woman before?\u201d \u201cI never did\u2014either dead or alive.Not to my knowledge, anyway.I Know who she is.\u201d \u201cShe isn't in your line, then?\u201d \u201cTheatrical, you fiean?Not exactly.I probably know people who know all about her.If I can help you in any way\u2014\u201d \u201cWhen I want your help I'll ask for it,\u201d said Dallas.\u201cJust now, please answer my questions.The point is,\u201d added the chief of detectives frigidly, \u201cthe woman was killed in this apartment, a little while ago, while your party was going on upstairs.Murdered! When I arrive, I find you on the scene with my policemen, snooping around and making inquiries.I could toss you into jail on suspicion, if I wanted to.\u201d Blackwood was amused.\u201cMarbles!\u201d he said, without rancor.\u201cBaseballs, tennis balls and forty love! You're not that big a fool, Dallas.You surely don't believe I killed this woman and came back to cover up my tracks?\u201d «1 don't know anything about it\u2014yet,\u201d retorted the detective.\u201cPl answer your question, though.I don't think you killed this woman; but I think you've got a darned good idea who did.\u201d \u201cYou're wrong,\u201d said Blackwood, smiling.\u201cThe idea that it may have been somebody I know amuses me, it\u2019s true.But I haven't a ghost Of a suspicion, and I'm not down here suppressing evidence.\u201d It was true, he inwardly reflect ed.Not for a minute did he actually believe that any of Janice Hume's party was involved.It was a droll idea, but the fortuity involved in such a situation shocked his fastidious sense of rightness even as a matter of speculation.Fate moved in a mysterious way its culprits to reveal, but he was unwilling to accept the fatuitous Miss Smale as the immediate instrument of destiny.And yet\u2014 The chief of detectives was asking him a question.\u201cHave any of the members of this party of yours gone home?\u201d \u201cI believe not,\u201d said Riley Black- wood, \u201calthough it has been some time since I left them.They are waiting for my report, I fancy.Incidentally, it's not my party, as you appear to believe; it's being given by a Mrs.Hume.She's on the eleventh floor.If I have convinced you of my innocence, possibly you would like me to go back there.\u201d A grim smile twisted the detective's mouth.\u201cYou'll stay right here until we're through with this apart- ment\u2014now that you are here,\u201d he said with great distinctness.In the intervals of their conversation flashlights had been popping in the face of the dead woman.Now the activity in the bedroom was over and the experts were emerging \u2014the fingerprint seekers a trifle crestfallen.Dallas sent apartment.\u201cIf I may venture to make a suggestion,\u201d said Riley Blackwood, \u201cthey should look for prints in the most unlikely places.The bathroom and the kitchen.for instance.And if they could find the contents of that ash tray in the bedroom, it might be very helpful.\u201cThank you,\u201d said the chief of detectives, with heavy satire, \u201cI never would have thought of that.\u201d Again there was a disturbance at the door and a second staff of experts was admitted.This time it was Forkert, deputy coroner of Cook County, and his assistants.The case was beginning to attract attention with a vengeance.The apartment of Miss Rita Wingfield, deceased, began to take on a lively aspect of congestion.\u201cWe have a good house to-night,\u201d observed the drama critic of the Morning Chronicle, with a grin.\u201cHello, Mr.Blackwood! Is that you?\u201d The coroner's assistant was an aoquaintance.\u201cWhat brings you here at this hour of the morning?\u201d \u201cI am a guest of Captain Dallas,\u201d Blackwood answered.He flourished an airy hand at the detective chieftain, who retorted with a ven- omonus glare.The two officlals greeted each other with deceptive cordiality and, alter a few words, vanished into the admitted them through the bedroom.Blackwood followed more leisurely.He expected to be thrown out, but until that development occurred it was his intention to see what could be seen.Nelson, the coroner's physician, was bending over the body.\u201cShot through the heart,\u201d he said.\u201cand died instantly.There isn't any doubt about it, but the autopsy will establish the facts.The dress has not been scorched, so I suppose the fellow stood some distance away.She was probably sitting on the bed when it happened.Eh.Dallas?\u201d He casually lifted the dead woman's arm and seemed to weigh it.\u201cHasn't been dead long.Possibly an hour or two at the most.\u201d Dallas waited impatiently until the doctor had finished.\u201cYou see the situation, Forkert,\u201d he said.\u201cIt's murder, of course.All right Burke! Get those fellows in from the other room.I want the body moved.Put her over there on the couch.\u201d Latham and Rye, who had been banished from the bedroom while the others worked, responded to the call, and with a certain reverence\u2014 for which the victim's sex was probably responsible\u2014the body was lifted and placed upon the couch.At the movement, a fold in the black satin coverlet was brushed into smoothness, and something that had been hidden by it\u2014and by the woman's skirt\u2014was swept off onto the floor.Dallas pounced upon it like a cat ion a mouse.For a large man he moved with extraordinary agility.\u201cGo on!\" he roared at Lathan and Rye, who had paused.\u201cGet her out of here!\u201d He swung to Black- wood with an air of ferocious triumph.\u201cWell, well, Mr.Black- wood! What have we got here?Nethersole said there were no matches.\u201d He was holding a paper of them in his fingers.His eyes were gloating.\u201cTest these for fingerprints at once, Burke.Not much luck, I'm afraid.She was lying on them.Looks like a hotel crest and a monogram to me.\u201d \u201cNot mine, at any rate,\u201d Blackwood pleasantly.His eyes had narrowed, however.and his pulse was leaping.With an effort he had controlled his voice.His mind.now, after the first shock of recognition.was racing.He watched the fingerprint expert with suppressed excitement.The folder was of dead black paper, its upper surface set off with silver lettering and a small crest of silver touched with gilt.The lettering and a small crest of silver touched gilt.The letters were intertwined and were quite obviously a simple set of initials.A monogram, as Dallas had remarked.\u201cNothing at all,\u201d said Burke, having made his test for fingerprints.His voice was gloomy as he returned the matches to his superior.\u201cOne little smudge\u2014it doesn't mean a thing!\u201d \u201cJ.P.,\u201d said Dallas, continuing his monologue.His brow contracted.\u201cNow what the devil would \u2018J.P.stand for?They might be a man\u2019s initials, I suppose.\u201d \u201cJustice of the peace?\u201d suggested Blackwood facetiously.\u201cJohn -Peter- son?Jersey Police?\u201d But he was thinking furiously under cover of his persiflage.Considering his responsibilities as a citizen.Weighing them against his wish to handle this extraordinary development himself.Ought he to confess?To this unfriendly animal named Dallas?Sooner or later the folder was sure to be identified.The monogram was literally known to thousands.The initials were not J.P.but P.J.and the folder of matches was, or had been, the property of Percy Jones; he had them made to order.Blackwood, in point of fact.had seen a duplicate of this one only a little while before, when the popular announcer had plucked it from his waistcoat to light a cigar- elle.What he wanted was to question Percy Jones, himself.To stalk that sleek mouse in his own way and in his own time.There was, of course, no certainty that the fellow was quilty of murder.A paper of his private matches simply had been found on Rita Wingfield's bed.But, after all, the girl might have had them in her bedroom.for weeks.And Rita Wingfield was certainly not redheaded.A little smile was tugging at the corners of his mouth.The chief of detectives was watching him.\u201cSomething cross your mind, Mr.Blackwood?\u201d asked Dallas, with his savage smile.Mr.Blackwood rationalized his inclination to be silent.His faint dislike of Percy Jones seemed negligible beside his mounting dislike of this insufferable policeman.\u201cYou haven't seen a Persian kitten around here?\u201d he inquired.said \u2018A Persian\u2014kitten!\u201d Housewives Everywhere Agree McDONALD & VALLEYFIELD, \u201cOur Best Flour\u201d \u201cIs Best for Baking That ROBB, Limited QUE.\u201cA blue one,\u201d Blackwood.clue.\u201d \u201cI may yet decide to throw you into jail, Mr.Blackwood,\u201d said the detective chieftain ominously.He brought the folder forward until it was an inch of his antagonist\u2019s nose.\u201cDo you know anything about this paper of matches?\u201d Mr.Blackwood shrugged.\u201cBy Jove, Dallas, I believe I do,\u201d he admitted, smiling.\u201cWe've been reading the initials wrong, that's all.They're P.J., not J.P.Percy Jones, of course! Funny I didn't think of that before.\u201d \u2018The detective\u2019s face had fallen several inches.\"You mean the radio announcer?\u201d he questioned, after a silence.The deputy coroner and others were staring stupidly.\u201cOf course,\u201d said Riley Blackwood.There was another silence.\u201cAnd where was Mr.Percy Jones when you last saw him with a paper of those matches, Mr.Blackwood?\u201d asked Dallas slowly.\u201cWas he upstairs at your party?\u201d \u201cYou would ask that,\u201d said Black- wood.\"The answer is \u2018Yes, he was! \u2014but I wish you wouldn't keep calling it my party.\u201d Quite suddenly, Dallas grinned his appreciation of the situation.For an instant he was almost jovial.\u201cCome with me, Nethersole,\u201d he ordered.\u201cThe eleventh floor, you said, Blackwood?\" He grinned again.\u201cStay here, the rest of you, till I come back.\u201d But it was Nethersole who re- turned\u2014alone\u2014so quickly that it seemed impossible that he made the trip.His face was serious.\u201cThe chief wants you upstairs, Riley,\u201d he said.\u201cPercy Jones is gone.He got a telephone call, a littde while ago, and jumped the party!\u201d The cold air of early morning was pleasant after the harrowing inquisition in Janice Hume's apartment.Blackwood and Philip Constantine stood in the doorway of the tall building and lighted cigarettes with relief.It was getting on toward four in the morning.The novelist looked au his companion.\u201cWell, it was quite a session while it lasted,\u201d he observed His smile was intended to be humorous.A dozen cars had just driven off into the darkness, each bursting with departing guests, each guest still simmering with indignation at the inquisiterial Dallas.Blackwood agreed.\u201cI have a sneaking admiration for the fellow,\u201d he confessed.\u201cThere's a ruthlessness about his methods that is really admirable.And he\u2019s certainly impartial! For his handling of such spit-fires as Zelda Lansing may be forgiven much.\u201d The novelist laughed.\u201cShe didn know anything, in the end\u2014nobod; did!\u201d \u201cWhat I resent,\u201d said Blackwood, \u201cis the current notion among women that gun-metal eyelashes and blood-colored nails give them the right to be impertinent.\u201d He inhaled deeply and breathed forth a little fog of tobacco smoke.\u201cWell, I suppose you're looking forward to some sleep.\u201d \u201cI'm hungry,\u201d said the novelist.\u201cI was thinking about a sandwich and a pot of coffee.\u201d Good idea! My rooms are only a few blocks from here, and I've got a Chinese boy who makes remarkable coffee.\u201d But Constantine shook his head.\u2018My dear man, we'd be up all the rest of the night discussing the mystery of Percy Jones.Take a walk with me, if you're not sleepy.There's a little night club at Chicago avenue that'll still be open.You probably know it.I often drop in there for coffee and atmosphere.\u201d explained Riley \u201cIt may possibly be a the with GENERAL ELECTRIC THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER \u201cLa Cucaracha?It's an amusing dive.All right, let's go.\u201d They strolled southward in the deserted boulevard, turning up the collars of their topcoats against the breeze that blew in from the lake.Their sticks struck sharply on the cement sidewalk and their footfalls returned to them as ghostly echoes from the tall cliffs along the western edge of the avenue.Here and there, high up, were squares of yellow light, marking the presence of citizens as sleepiess as themselves.But for the most part the cliff dwellers were in slumber.At intervals along the way the street lamps clustered\u2014eyeballs of white fire, colding watching over the outrageous phenomenon that was the city of Chicago.\u201cOf course,\u201d said Blackwood, breaking a silence that was becoming solemn, \u201cit was the redheaded woman who called him.\u201d ~The deuce it was! What makes you think so?\u201d \u201cThe pattern demands it, I think.Granting, that is, that his original story was the truth\u2014or even the approximate truth.\u201d \u201cWe don't even know that it was a woman at all,\u201d the novelist demurred, \u201cHe didn't say so.\u201d Riley Blackwood swung his stick and frowned.\u201cThe Lansing female thought it was a woman,\u201d he said.\u201cShe gathered it from something in Percy's attitude\u2014and I'll bet a hundred dollars she was right.\u201d The fictionist appreciated the point.\u201cWell, possibly,\u201d he conceded.\u201cBut why was it necessarily this mysterious stranger?Why does the pattern demand it?What pattern?\u201d \u201cYou're a novelist, Constantine.You think in terms of plot.Well, the plot demands it, if you prefer the term.\u201d \u201cI'm not a mystery novelist,\u201d grinned Philip Constantine.\u201cAnd I doubt that life is greatly concerned with problems of plot or pattern.However, it's an interesting point of view.But I should think the plot might just as well demand that this dead woman\u2014Rita Wingfield\u2014 tum out to be the woman who drove Percy Jones to get a Persian kitten.In which case your theory wouldn't work.Rita Wingfield was quite dead when somebody called Percy on the telephone.\u201d \u201cThat's true,\u201d said Blackwood.He threw away his cigarette.\u201cI'm assuming, of course, that Rita and the redhead could not have been the same woman.\u201d \u201cBecause Rita's hair is black.\u201d nodded Constantine.\u201cStill, you'll admit that Percy may have lied It wouldn't be the first time.In the circumstances, his whole story is open to suspicion.\u201d \u201cYou agree with the police, then, that it was a fake\u2014a sort of fantastic alibi to cover the time he spent with Rita Wingfield?\u201d The novelist hedged.\u201cI'm not sure that I believe he killed her, if that's what you mean.He may have, of course.I think that paper of matches is going to require a lot of explanation, anyway.\u201d \u201cWe agree on that, at any rate,\u201d said Blackwood, laughing.\u201cIt was certainly a godsend to Dallas.But, oddly enough, Constantine, the blacker the case appears against Percy\u2014and I have no love for the fellow\u2014the more inclined I am to believe his story.It's almost too silly a tale not to be true.\u201d His stick swung upward and became a pointer.\u201cWell, there's your night club.\u201d Across a small park, from the far side of the avenue, gleamed the lighted front of the cafe, The night club was still a scene of activity, despite the hour.But the diners and the drunkards were beginning to depart.The newcomers handed their outer wrappings to a smiling girl in uniform and pushed forward A wonderful RADIO YEAR! into the depth of the establishment.Immediately they noted that they had not been alone in their idea.At an aisle table clustered a group of drinkers from the party they had recently left\u2014Archie Dunning and Daisy Archer, Tommy Lester, and the giggling debutantes whose names, as Blackwood recalled, were Borland and Smale.Dallas's examination had left them sober enough and they were obviously making up for lost time.They greeted Constantine and Blackwood with squeals and invitations.But the newcomers resolutely shook their heads and pressed on after a floor captain who had taken them in tow.(To be Continued) Franklin Centre W.M.S.Meeting The annual meeting of the Women\u2019s Missionary Society, was held at the home of Mrs.Clifton Pate- naude, on Thursday afternoon, Dec.17th, with an attendance of nine ladies.In the absence of the president, Mrs.R.C.Manning, had charge of the meeting whieh opened with the roll call, and minutes of previous meeting read and approved.The subject of the program, was \u201cIn the Footsteps of Jesus.The 2nd ch.of Luke, and Tth ch.of Matt.were read responsively, followed by prayer.The Treasurer reported $66 to be sent to the Presbyterial.The important event of the afternoon was the election of officers for the coming year, and resulted as follows: President, Mrs.A.Blair;

FAN It's generally about the starting of the new year when the old timers in the N.H.L.take over the scoring leadership from the younger fry who have been out in front since the first puck was dropped to get the season under way.The younger boys always get off to a better start but once the veterans fin\" their skating legs and their second wind they start going places.History seems to be repeating itself, this year, to coin a new phrase, and the boys who have been around for more years than they care to remember are already making their pres- cnce felt cn what is known as the upper strata or the big six in the hockey world.Laurie, Barry, and Lewis, the dynamite trio of the Detroit team, and the \u201chottest line\u201d in the league so far.are not exactly what is known as young chickens.Their average age is 31 which is considered quite on in years for hockey players.The second best forward wall in the League is made up of men who have more grey hairs than Old Mother Hubbard.We are speaking of Canadien\u2019s grand old trio Joliat, Gagnon, and Morenz, who have compiled just three points less than their famous Detroit rivals this season.Morenz is 34, Gagnon is 32 and Joliat 35.Besides being possibly the best line on any of the ice lanes in the circuit to date they are the smallest.Gagnon, the Chicoutimi Black Cat, is 55, Morenz, the Stratford Streak, is 59, and Joliat is 5.6.Their total weight is 551 lbs.but it is 44 of à ton of hockey material that any manager would be glad to find in his stocking on Christmas morning.A FACT A DAY ABOUT CANADA Cabbages are extensively grown in this country but they are really natives of Europe.There are three main varieties\u2014white, red, and crinkly leaved or Savoy, the latter being the best quality although less extensively grown.We use 50 million head of cabbage in Oanada a year but we have not exalted it as a food the way some countries have.In France, for instance a girl is very flattered if you call her \u201cMon petit chou\u201d while the English translation poured into the ear of a Canadian girl would bring a slap on the face at least.Over here they prefer \u201cmy little sugar\u201d, \u201cmy little rose\u201d, or even, \u201cmy lamb'\u2019s lettuce\u201d.Australia\u2019s chief import to this country is not wool, as many seem to think, but raisins.Last year we imported nearly 26 million pounds out of a total of 36 million use.The main items in our exports to Australia are automobiles and newsprint.Sydney, in Port Jackson, is said to have the finest harbour in the world.Half the population of Australia are Anglicans with Roman Catholics next, and Presbyterians, third.There are 83 thousand school teachers in Canada at the present time.These teachers, scattered from one end of the country to the other are teaching under vastly different circumstances but an effort to centralize education is made through the Canadian Education Council which meets every year and discusses problems pertaining to all departments of teaching.Besides that, there is an Education Branch of the Dominion Bureau of statistics which centralizes all available data and issues statistical reports upon education and educational problems.Since the day that Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered the, West Indies, corn has been an important cereal in Canadian and American lives, rivalling the wheat of Europe, and the rice of Asia, Corn, however, has other uses apart from its food value .We use 25 million pounds for making whiskey.We make starch for laundry and dinner dessert from corn, and this same starch digested under steam pressure, gives us the corn syrup that children love.Dex- trin, another corn product, forms the basis of that light mucilage you lick on the backs of postage stamps and envelopes.Another gum extract from corn, Paragol, is used for making those common red rubber sponges and pencil erasers, Twenty percent of paragol goes into synthetic soles for rubbers.The most popular Canadian canned fruit is the pear and this Is twice as popular as any other according to canning figures issued by the Jlarge- canning concerns.just six million pounds canned.Peaches were next in line, followed rhubarb.tween There were over fourteen mililon pounds of pears canned and the next highest fruit was apples with by cherries, apricots, blueberries, plums, raspberries, strawberries, and One of the oddest treaties be- Canada and the United States is that which was drawn up The boxing experts looked right cver Braddock's bulging brow and over Joe Louis's brown one to place the wreath for the number one man of the ring on the head of Maxie Schmeling, the juggling German.The choice, however, was based on each man\u2019s performance for the year and under those circumstances not much fault can be found with the decision.Maxie certainly deserved some sort of rocognition for his exhibition against Louis and this scemed as good a time as any to give it to him.Joe Louis was the biggest money winner among the year's heavyweight fighters.In six fights, most of them against second raters, the belting bomber punched the cash register to the tune of $281,830.01, not counting any exhibition money or sideline stuff, such as advertising, etc.For the figure flends this all works out to about $3,759 per minute, for every minute he spent in the ring and we can hardly restrain ourselves from exclaiming \u201cNot bad, not bad\u201d.Carl O.Hubbel, the Oklahoma pecan grower, who makes the bcys of the National Baseball League break their backs reaching for his sinker-curver- fadcaway ball can\u2019t break 100 on the golf course.This is included in this column in the hepe that it will encourage 50,- 000,000 others who can't get under the 100 mark on the links, Jesse Owens, the \u201cEbony Antelope\u201d, making his first start as a professional, outran a race horse in the climax to the week-long sports carnival held at Havana this week.The cinder streak took 9.9 seconds to cover the course of 100 yards and he beat his four-footed rival by 20 yards.Owens was given a 40 yard handicap at the start.to protect the birds.The subject of this treaty is a moving one and belongs to neither country, but to both.There are about 500 varieties of birds in Canada, some of them very regular travellers at a hint of cold weather and some of them so hardy that they are to be found in their accustomed haunts even in the very coldest weather.Canada's Migratory Birds Treaty of 1916 is a major factor in protection and is hailed around the world as the first International Treaty for Bird protection.Canadians spend over 7 million dollars a year on sporting goods.FOver 30 per cent of this is spent in sporting stores and the remainder goes into the tills of the departmental stores and hardware stores.Canada has produced some of the greatest figures of the sporting world and her athletes are always sure to be found up near or at the top in any athletic event or sporting programme, in which they take part Franklin Rural School Closing Our district schools closed Friday, 18th, for two weeks holiday.The teachers, Miss Mildred McCormick

that is boiling and seething in Europe and Asia.Christmas day in British and French Governmental circles was tense indeed as officials waited for the answer to the message sent to Hitler ordering him to cease giving aid to the Spanish insurgents at the risk of starting war.Hitler's only answer to the note was that if England and France believed in sending diplomatic notes during the holidays they would have to wait until the holidays were over to get an answer.Meanwhile Hitler has ordered the Spanish government to release the German warship they seized in Spanish waters and up until Monday the government had refused to do this.Purthermore they said they had no intention of doing it.That leaves the next move up to the Nazi leader.His action in the matter 15 anxiously awaited.France offered, Sunday.to give Germany back her war-lost colonies if she would wthdraw from the Spanish war and work for European peace.The insurgent attack on Madrid is now in its elghth week with on sign of victory

succeeded In driving the rebels back some distance.The trouble in the far East was cleared a little when the captive Chinese, Generalissimo Chiang Kal- Shek was freed by the rebel forces who had held him prisoner since Dec.12th in an cffort to force the government to fake an anti-Japan, pro Soviel stand.General Kai-Shek was given his liberty on Christmas afternoon and nis release prevented a Chinest civil war of the first magnitude, The first thing the released dictator did was to recall all his troops from the Sian front so there would be no chance of clashes between the rebel and government forces.The present situation in Europe is the gravest since that which preceded the Great War in 1918.Day to day developments are of the greatest importance and political circles of all countries are waiting [with abated breath for a satisfactory conclusion to the heated arguments and disputes that are throwing the leaders of European countries at each other's throats.Against the advice of his surgeons Pope Pius XI broadcast a Christmas Eve message to the world and his condition took a sudden turn for the worse as a result.The, Pope, now 79 years of age, has been\u2019

Lake Titus Road, MALONE, N.Y.Town Poor Kiddies Given Scout Toys, Treat, Truck Ride Children milled about the decorated Xmas Tree in Hun- tingdon early Christmas Eve in anticipation of a treat and sleigh-ride.The usual team and sleigh had to make way this year for a truck due to the lack of snow.Lighted flares decorated the truck and the children enjoyed a drive about town.Through the kindness of local merchants and the Town Council, the children were treated to candy and oranges.Following the drive the truck was used to deliver toys supplied by the Huntingdon Boy Scout Troop to a number of poor children.The Scouts this year had collected and repaired approximately 325 toys.\u2018These were made up into a large number of boxes for distribution.Names for the Scout gifts were supplied by the local clergymen and associations.The requests this year were unusually numerous and the Scouts were urmable to supply the heavy demand.Of the 45 names of families sent in, gifts were sent to 30 families, those cousidered the most deserving cases.The local merchants and Scouts were glad to co-operate with the Town officials in supplying some Christmas cheer for the less- privileged children.Community Tree at Trout River Electric Lamps Presented to Clergyman, Gifts For All Children The Community Christmas Tree and Entertainment sponsored by Miss Kathleen Smellie, which was held in the Union Church at Trout River Lines, N.Y.on Monday evening, December 21, was a decided success in every way.A nicely arranged program was presented by the children and young people of both churches, consisting of dialogues, recitations and songs, while short addresses were given by the pastor of the Union Church, Rev.D.McVeigh and Rev.Father Lynch pastor of St.Bridgets Church, Trout River.Funds had been soli- cited from the friends and the response was SO generous that each child was remembered with a gift and a Christmas stocking of candy; while the Rev.D.McVeigh was presented with an electirc table lamp and Rev.Father Lynch with an electric floor lamp.A most enjoyable evening was spent and much credit is due Miss Smellie for the success of the affair.On Friday afternoon about 24 invited guests and parents gathered at Eddy's School for the Christmas closing.The pupils and teacher, Miss M.E.McGerrigle, assisted by Miss L.V.Paul entertained the guests with a short program consisting of recitations, dialogues and Christmas songs.The Christmas tree was then unloaded of its many gifts, the mothers each receiving a holder made by the pupils at school.The teacher then passed homemade candy.All left for their homes wishing each and every one a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Miss McGerrigle will resume her classes on January 4th.We regret to report the illness of Miss Hilda Woodside, only daughter of Rev.J.H.and Mrs.Woodside.She is in the Civic Hospital, Ottawa, for an operation, which is being performed today (Monday).We sincerely hope for a speedy and complete recovery.Mr.and Mrs.Ira Gordon, daughters, Helen and Eileen, Cornwall, Ont, Mr.and Mrs.Wm.McGibbon, and son David.Constable, NY, and Mr.and Mrs.R.W.Lavery and daughter Esther, spent Xmas Day at the parental home.Mrs.Hugh O.Balkwill and little son Hugh, spent the Christmas holidays at the home of her mother, Mrs.A.À.Smaill.Mr.Wm.Duncan is spending the Holidays at the home of his son, Mr.Thos.Duncan in Albany, N.Y.We regret that Tom is in the Hospital, Albany, where he has recently been operated on for appendicitis.Mr.J.J.H.Taunton, Mr.Wm.Taunton, Miss Lucy Taunton and Miss Frankie Davidson, Montreal, spent Christmas and the Week-end at Caterham Cottage, Trout River, Just as this goes to press, word has been received of the death of Mrs.Alex.Bonnar, and also of Rev.Father McMahon, Bombay, N.Y.Father McMahon was formerly parish priest at Trout River Lines, N.Y., and was a friend of every one in that community, irrespective of creed.If you buy a nice thick juicy steak and then find you cannot use it for several days, you needn't worry about keeping it.Just brush over the steak on both sides with glycerine and put it in the utility tray of your refrigerator under the quick-freezing apparatus.When you are ready to cook it, the glycerine will wash off easily, and you will find the steak has not dried out or discolgred and tastes as tender as if just bought.The idea is really just a simplified homely application of a special process recently patented in Washington for preserving the natural color and purity of the cut surfaces of fresh meat.This process involves the use of a protective covering on the meat, in which the preservative properties of glycerine, among other ingredients, are utilized.O YOU remember \u2018way back when grandmother's \u201cparlor\u201d vas furnished with the very latest worse-hair furniture, the lovely ound \u201ccenter table\u201d with its marble op, the huge portraits with their leep, heavy gilded frames and the .\\ways present \u201cwhat-not\u201d with its «ssorted display of \u201cbric-a-brac?Nouldn't you like to have a picture of it to help recall fond memories of lays gone by?Believe it or not but it will not be nany years until you will be trying .0 picture in your mind some of the turniture and furnishings you had in your home when you were a child or perhaps when you were first mar- ied.Interior snapshots will serve as \u2018memory insurance.\u201d Don't put off taking these pictures uny longer for making them is not at ali difficult; in fact you will enjoy it.Here are a few pointers that may help you in making your first shots.If you take your interior pictures in the daytime the chances are that you will have to take a time exposure unless your camera is equipped with a very fast lens, say 7.3.5 or faster.If a time exposure is necessary you will have to use a tripod or else place the camera on some solid support such as a table.Even with an /.3.5 lens you should have some substantial support for your camera for you will probably find it necessary to take your shot at 1/5 or 1/10 of a second, and at speeds slower than 1/25 of a second it is extremely difficult to hold the camera steady.Any movement of the camera will cause a blurred picture.\u2018 The secret of success in indoor pictures lies in controlling the light reaching the various parts of the eSNAPSHOT GUIL MEMORIES OF HOME BA \u2018ictures, such as this one, are not difficult to make so let your camera furnish you with \u201cMemory Insurance.\u201d room to be pictured.To begin with, never point your camera directly at the window or door through which the greatest amount of light is coming.Keep the light behind or to the side of the camera.If, as sometimes happens, a sunny window is in a particular part of the house you want to take, you can eliminate sun-glare by a very simple trick.Pull the shade of that particular window clear down and keep it down fo: an exposure long enough to give you the other features and details.Then close the shutter and run the shad« up to its normal position.Now, g¢ back to the camera and, withou changing the film or the camera\u2019 position, open the shutter again fo a half second longer.It's a good idea to use a very smal lens stop in taking indoor pictures because you want detail.Focus on ¢ point about half-way between the camera and the far side of the room ; then, when the lens is stopped dowr you will find that practically every thing is in sharp focus.Avoid including large pieces of furniture in the foreground, lest they take up more space in the picture than they deserve.Exposure time will vary, of course, with the brilliance of the daylight and the degree to which the walls reflect light.On a bright day, pictures in a predominantly light colored room can be taken with an exposure of five or ten seconds.On dull days, in dark rooms having only one window, you will need as much as five minutes, with the lens at /.16.\u201cMemory Insurance\u201d costs but little; so load your camera today for interier pictures that in later years will be worth a lot.JOHN VAN GUILDER TO PREVENT FEATHER PULLING Feather pulling is a troublesome vice in many flocks and it is often accompanied or followed by cannibalism.A hen that has once tasted blood and has discovered that blood is often found on the quill of a fresh pulled feather will soon have the habit of looking for loose or fallen feathers and even pulling them out of the back or fluff of a timorous member of the flock.This is likely to become most prevalent in winter when hens are confined, often crowded; when feed is artificial and unnatural through lack of worms, bugs and green feed instinct \u201cfinds mischief still\u201d for idle birds to get into.What is the farmer to do when he finds either feather pulling or cannibalism rampant in his flock?An exchange suggests that if the hard tip of the upper mandible is removed the bird cannot pull feathers but can still eat.If only a very small piece of the tip is taken off it need not cause much if any suffering.In time it will grow out again, but, meanwhile the habit will have been cured.If à hen has been pecked, and made bare or raw, or caused to bleed, a paste can be made that will do the sore good and keep other birds from bothering her any more.It is made as follows: Mix two ounces of pine tar with an ounce of bitter aloes and enough tincture of lodine to give the mass a pasty consistency.The bitter taste is not relished by hens.WINTER VEGETABLE STORAGE If the cellar floor is concrete, a three-inch layer of sandy loam soil should be spread on the part enclosed in the vegetable storage compartment.This will enable the humidity of the compartment to be kept right, and by applying water to this layer of soll at intervals the air can be kept moist and prevent the stored vegetables from withering.This soil will also be useful for the storage of the cabbage and the celery plants which should be stored in an upright position: with the roots attached, the cabbage with the heads touching and the celery placed as closely together in rows, but with a space of eight inches between the rows.Slatted bins made of lumber, one inch thick by three inches wide, for ends, sides, and floors will allow aeration and prevent loss through heating.The root crops and potatoes can be stored in these, and when the cabbages and the celery are taken from the garden for storage, the loose soll attached to the roots should be carefully removed and the rough leaves strip- ped off.is now on A.Beaudin & Son, Jack O'Neil The GLEANER \u201cMETROPOLITAN NEWS\u201d Agency Peel Street, Montreal, near St.Catherine, and at the stores of .sale at the Ormstown Valleyfield BOY WONDERMENT Because he asked me, roguish eyes so round, In me he knew the truth he'd always found, I answered, after quite a little pause \u201cNo, dear, there is no Santa Claus!\u2019 There was some sorrow in his eyes of blue, With childhood faith in wonders he seemed through.In drear dismay, I wiped away a tear, \u201cI'm sorry that I had to tell you this, my Dear.\u201d He said, \u201cI knew it, Mum, from boys at school, But still I wondered, for they often fool;

Another recent comment: \u201cI have read with great interest your articles in the Huntingdon Gleaner.I was particularly impressed with your write-up of what you heard me say at the Women's Institute meeting.If we had a few more reporters who were as accurate in their write-ups as you are, it wouldn\u2019t be such a dangerous business making Matrimonial Bannon-von Trachtenberg The marriage took place recently in Seattle, Wash., of Miss Dorothea von Trachtenberg, of Shanghai, China, to Mr.Thomas Moore Ban- non, of Montreal.Following the ceremony a reception was held at the home of Captain and Mrs.Wallace Langley at the Rainier Golf and Country Club.The bride is the well-known Russian concert pianist.She has appeared as soloist with leading Symphony Orchestras and as guest artist on coast to coast radio networks.She is the daughter of Mrs.J.P.Maher, of Shanghai, China.Her late father, Michael von Tra- chtenberg, was a Russian nobleman, banker, and musician, and a pupil of the famous composer, Anton Rubinstein.Her late grandfather, Herman von Trachtenberg, was a distinguished Russian jurist, and a Justice for the District of St.Pet- ersburg.For distinguished services to his country he was made a Knight of the Order of Vladimir and also a Knight of the Order of St.Stanislaus.Mrs.Bannon was for two years musical instructress to the household of the Chinese Premier and military leader, General Chiang Kai-Shek.She was educated at the Convent of the Holy Ghost in Tsingtai, China, and at St.Joseph's Institute in Shanghai, while shel studied music under Maestro Paci.~ Mr.Bannon is the only son of Mr.and Mrs.James W.Bannon, of Montreal, formerly of St.Agnes.He is a graduate of Loyola College and of the Law School of the University of Mor.treal.He is now doing post-grad»ate work at the Institute of International Relations, University of Southern California.The bride and bridegroom left on.their wedding trip to Southern California and Mexico.Later on they will return to Hollywood, California, where they will spend the winter.Huntingdon Workmen were busily engaged Monday in front of D.L.Kelly's residence on the newly-reconstruct- ed Prince St., replacing a hydrant.Apparently the hydrant was damaged by the roller or a truck during the building of the street, and the break did not show up until pressure was put on to flush out the mains.St.Anicet A rather strange incident occurred here Sunday afternoon.When young Almanzor Richer was walking through the field he came upon a large snake.He chased and killed it but with some difficulty as the reptile was very much alive.Mr.Gerald Murphy of Loyola College is homie for the holidays.Mr.and Mrs.R.H.Pelletier of New York have also been recent guests at the home of Mr.and Mrs.John L.Murphy.At The For Your Chateau Huntingdon NEW YEARS EVE = PARTY = Johnny Anderson (Formerly with Ken Large) And his eight-piece Orchestra.Souvenirs and gala favors.Make reservations now Admission: $1.00 per person.* \u201cThree Turns for Mistress Ferguson .Man have ye ever thought What your good leddy costs in coal?- - = - M'Andrews Hymn ?Kipling public speeches.It seems to me you have.a definite flair for expressing your ideas in an interesting way.\u201d Comments are always appreciated, favorable or otherwise.There is nothing like honest criticism to sharpen the mind\u2014or the pencil!
