Many Mourn Neighbors and, friends have already I

started organizing assistance for Mr., and Mrs. Rod MacPhee and family # #

The remains of Mr. and Mrs Mac- Kinnon were interred in a private ceremony in St. Columba cemetery, Kirk Hill, on Tuesday. A memorial service is to: be held later in St. Col- umba Church.

The fire is thought to have originated in the kitchen area though Mr. end Mrs. MacPhee are at a loss to explain how it started. She had been in the kitchen between 1.30 and 2 am., preparing the customary hot dish for her parents and at that time added wood to the stove. Mr. Mac-

number of memberships collected by Secretary-Treasurer Gabe Aubry was an evidence that the club spirit was still active.

The wind was from the east and the barns and outbuildings, some 200 feet from the house, were never In danger.

The house had been re-wired only three months ago when an electric ctcvc. washer and. other equipment pi \ ^ , . » had been Installed. It was reportedly j LllcirtCT JXlgflt one of the best furnished homes In the area and the replacement cost or house furnishing and clothing as impossible to estimate, though well ■over the $10,000 mark. The insurance only partially covered the home and the monetary loss will be heavy.

Kinsmen To Have

Neighbors and friends lost little time in rallying to the aid of the MacPhee family, stricken in Friday’s tragedy and already canvassers are at work throughout Lochiel township, in neighboring sections of Kenyon and in Alex- andria,. Emphasis is on money donations with which to

restore the MacPhee home but new home furnishings, linens ,etc, will be gladly accepted.

Two benefit dances are scheduled to aid the fund. Friends in the Alexandria area are staging a card party and dance in Alexander Hall, next Monday evening. On Friday of next week the Oharlottenburgh Junior Farmers will hold a dance in Green Valley Pavilion, the entire pro- ceeds going to the fund.

Organization of the fund drive was completed at a meeting in Lochiel Township Hall, Monday evening, when neighbors and friends of the family gathered to plan assistance. Edwin MacDonald was in the chair and he called on several of those present for opinions on what form the campaign should take. Rev. O. F. Gauthier, P. P-, Lochiel described the home as one of Glengarry’s finest and most hospitable and he thought the canvass should aim at re- storing it J. A. McDonell, township treasurer, thought ■neighbors and friends should be asked to give as much as they might expect would be given them under like circumstances.

Canvassers were named for each concession of the township, in Kenyon and Alexandria, and it was decided friends in other sections of the county and ex-Glengarrlans would be asked to help through the columns of the News.

Many sizeable donations were pledged at Monday’s meeting, these Including a temporary home In proximity to the MacPhee farm, and sufficient felt roofing from an Alexandria merchant to roof the new home.

On Wednesday, January 12th, the Oharlottenburgh Junior Farmers held a very successful skating party in Glengarry Gardens A $5.00 door

j prize went” to John McCrimmon, while Vincent McKinnon was the winner of the $3.00 Spot Prize.

After two hours of skating to enjoyable music, .the group went over to the High School Annex, where soup and crackers were served to them, after haring further whetted their ap- petifês by dancing an old time Square Dance. •

An all-time record of 72 members were enrolled for 1949 and the Execu- tive are confident that many more will obtain membership cards before the year is much older.

New Telephone Service Coming

Telephone users in Alexandria will receive improved service this summer when the exchange here is converted from “magneto" to common battery operation, according to J. F. Gard- iner, Beil Telephone manager for this region.

Under the new system, a light on the operator’s switchboard will go on whenever a subscriber lifts his re- ceiver. This signal replaces the hamd- crank signal, and informs the operator that someone on that line wishes to make a call.

Similarly, when a call is completed, the operator is automatically informed by the light, without the need for "ringing off”, so that the need for the hand-crank is completely eliminated.

The main benefits of the new system are faster handling of calls, quick er clearance of lines after conversa- tions are finished and a reduction in the 'number of rings heard on party lines.

Many technical changes are required to complete the conversion of telephones here to common battery operation. In addition to the new switchboard to be installed in the exchange, a new and more compact type of telephone instrument will be installed for each subscriber, and extensive changes will be made in the wire aind cable network connecting telephones with the exchange

Co-ordinating these various operations so that the conversion can be carried out smoothly and efficiently

I requires much planning. New telephone numbers may be assigned to

, some subscribers at the time of the change. Mr. Gardiner advises Sub- scribers who carry their telephone numbers on letterheads, signs, or ad- vertising matter to bear in mind the possibility of a number change in ordering advance supplies of such material. z

The new exchange is designed to give service to present Alexandria subscribers and allow for expansion for several years .

Council To Cope - With Big Problems

In his indugural address at Counties Council Warden James A McArthur drew attention to two “problems which will have to be met by the 1949 council,” These are the questions of annexation of the urban part of the Township of Cornwall and* the deep waterways project.

“Annexation has been before United Counties council on several occasions” declared the new warden. “So far . we have not been affected to any great extent But if the annexation of the urban part of the township goes though ... it will have a very telling effect on the counties.

“This council is not opposed to the City of Cornwall annexing a portion of the township for planning and de- velopment. But we are opposed to annexing the greater part of the already-developed, revenue-producing portion of the township.”

Referring to the deep waterway project, Mr McArthur said “the de- velopment may go forwtard sooner than we expect.” He urged members of council to make every effort to keep well informed on all develop- ments of the scheme.

Dollar Shortage Is Factor In Decline of U. S. Exports

Recent figures on foreign trade indicate that the dollar shortage in many foreign countries is beginning to have an effect on exports froin the United States, according to Alex- ander Hamilton institute. After reaching a high record level last spring, the general tendency has been for exports from this country to decline. $

Because of the large disparity which developed between purchases by foreign countries In the United States and their sales to this country, many of the nations of Europe and the western hemisphere found it necessary to tighten up import controls. They took these measures in order to conserve their fast dwin- dling resources of gold and dollar assets and to prevent their trade deficits from increasing too rapidly.

If congress should adopt substan- tially the long-range European recovery program presented by the administration, this would tend to modify the indicated decline in exports from the United States. Dur- ing the first three quarters of 1947, the deficit of countries in the Mar- shall plan area in their trade with the United States was equivalent to a rate of approximately 4% billion dollars a year. This was about equal to the amount which the administration tentatively has recommended be loaned or granted annually during the next four years ;o the 16 western European counties (and western Germany) coni- ng under the Marshall plan.

Early Sheepmen Imported Merinos to Improve Flock

President Jefferson knew that wool could become important in the lew land. He urged our ambassador o Spain, Washington Irving, to send tome as many Merinos as possible Several thousand of these sheep were imported to improve American locks.

The first woolen mill in the United States had opened in 1788. George Washington ordered some sturdy orown cloth from this mill. The suit which he wore at his first inaugura- tion as president was made from his cloth.

As the pioneers moved westward, sheep went with them. The New England states, however, were the eading wool growers until about 1850.

After 1840, great flocks began to 3e developed in the West. The Cali- fornia gold rush in 1849 brought thousands of sheep into that state. Many of these sheep were used for neat by California’s growing, popu- ation. Some were kept as breeding locks for future wool production

After the Civil War industries ir- the East developed more rapidly. Railroads were pushed into the •Vest. The growth of factories and fopulation brought greater demands 'or wool. Wool and sheep for meat toth could be shipped more easily to .-astern markets. .From that time >n, Texas and the western states became more and more important as wool growers.

Industrial Castor OH Castor oil has many industrial

jses. It lubricates internal combus- tion engines. It is used in the manufacture and processing of such va- ried products as artificial leather, eather lubricants, linoleums, type- writer inks, rubber, shellac and var- lish, flypaper, transparent soaps and medicinal preparations. It is -ised as a sulfonated oil in the mak- ng of Turkey red oil, a compound widely demanded in the dyeing and Moth-printing industry. Castor oil ilso is utilized as a plasticizer te Mastic manufacture. Recent ■£ -ances in dehydrating the oil will nake it possible to use it as a substitute or amendment to tung oil n the drying-oil industry. The pulp, eaves and stems can be used in naking fertilizers, plastics, chemi- .■als, cloth and cordage, insecticides md paper for boxes.

U.IS. Extends Control Over Narcotics

The General Assembly of the United Nations recently approved a new protocol extending international control over a number of synthetic drugs which had been developed in recent years and had remained outside the scope of previous conventions on the control of narcotics. Above are some of the drugs brought under international control by the new Protocol. Previous conventions cove-ed only natural narcotics, such as opium, cocaine and morph’ne.

Strong and Durable Wool Wool has great tensile-resistance

.o pulling. Wool fibers can be bent îackwards and forwards many nore times than any other natural extile fiber before breaking. These ;atural qualities give great strength o the wool fiber. Wool’s strength -nd resilience allow wool to stand -ard use, thus making it very dura- ie. Products from wool appear in '•■avy and light weights, as heavy iothes and felt, or as light, soft uaterials. In either form it is dura- tie. Clothing from wool gives pro- action without great weight. Some ool fabrics are as light and soft as - va The use of summer clothing arte of wool as well as blankets

Chaplains Served U. S. in ^ ' j All Country’s Wars

In pre-Revolution days, chaplains served with companies nearest) their churches. In the Continental' army during the Revolution they were assigned to regiments, sepa- rate units and hospitals. In March,, 1791, the Rev. John Hurt of Vir- ginia, a veteran of the Revolution, served as chaplain for the army, deriving his authority from a congressional act. He is considered the first chaplain of the army of the United States. Chaplains were assigned to regiments during the War of 1812. After that war, the only chaplain in the army seems to have- been one at West Point, who alsoj Was professor of geography, history- and ethics. y

Concurrent with a new interest in| education and religion, the office or chaplains was restored by congress In 1837 and post chaplains, relieved, of the responsibility for Instruction In lay subjects, were assigned to army installations. During the war with Mexico, a chaplain was authorized for each regiment of vol-< unteers.

In 1861, regimental chaplains wer£ authorized and Jewish rabbis made; •ligible. During the revolution, three; Catholic chaplains had served. Ofj three Catholic chaplains who went) to Mexico with Taylor’s army, on* was killed by guerillas. <

When the United State* entered the World War in 1917, there were t4 chaplain* in the regular army' and 72 in the national guard.

Plan Proper Storage for Reservation of Foods

No farm family can afford to over- look the proper storage of canned, dried and cured foods because spoilage of these foods often results In large losses. The time, energy, and the small amount of money needed tor adequate storage of foods is one of the best investments that any family can make. Ideal food storage should be convenient to the kitchen regardless of whether it is located In the house, cellar or an outside building.

The storage unit should have tight floors and walls, reinforced with an insulation material to help in pre- venting extremes in temperatures. It should be cool in summer, frost- proof In winter, well ventilated and dry at all times.

All shelves need to be firmly braced so that they will be strong enough to carry their valuable loads. The larger and heavier containers can best be kept on the lower shelves. The height of the jar will determine the distance between the shelves. To estimate the distance between shelves, two inches should be added to the height of the small containers and eight inches to that of the large containers.

Stomaoh Disturbances Pointing out how to avoid flare-

ups of ulcers of the stomach and du- odenum, Walter C. Alvarez, M. D., Rochester, Minn., says in the Jour- nal of the American Medical Associ- ation for July 29 that "It is suggested that when a patient who has had an ulcer goes through an emotional crisis he should immediately start taking food every hour or two. He shouldn’t wait for the expected flare- Up or hemorrhage or perforation. The extra feedings are probably most needed between the hours of 10 p. m. and 3 a. m.

"A man of 50 who had always boon well discovered one day that the man who for 20 years had been his brother-in-law, his closest friend and his business partner had been falsi- fying the books in order to steal from him. All that night he lay awake in great mental distress, and next day he had a big gastric hemorrhage. Another man, when a vio- lent strike in his factory distressed him terribly, had a big hemorrhage. A woman who adored her peppery little daughter-in-law one day inadvertently offended her and brought down on her head a storm of abuse which nearly killed her. Next .day a long-healed ulcer flared up land perforated. A woman who heard [that her soldier husband had just been killed at the front promptly had la hemorrhage.

" Clean Surface Scrape or wire-brush any loose or

scaling paint from the walls and other surfaces and sandpaper smooth where necessary. Then look carefully for any cracks, nail holes, or other openings and fill them with crack filler which can be obtained In forms suitable for different kinds of surfaces from any paint dealer or paint department. When using putty on exterior surfaces, It is well to prime the holes with a coat of paint, then apply the putty and paint over it. For interior plas- tered walls, patching plaster and various crack fillers are readily obtainable in the stores. r

Fortune or Income? It is not easy to make a for-

tune, and even if it were, it - might prove disastrous as an inheritance. An income, however, paid regularly month after month without variation, is another matter. It is a fortune which is never dissipated, nor- can it be lost in hazardous. ventures.

These facts cannot be overlooked by the man who wishes security for his family in the event of his death. He will realize that there must be a minimum income lor his wife until the children are self-supporting, there must be provision for rent, food, clothes, schooling and the bare necessities, there must be freedom from anxiety for the mother,, especially when her care and influence are so necessary in the formative years of childhood.

All these benefits are possible through the Sun Life Family Income Plan, an economical

.scheme of protection that leaves no doubts in the mind, no fears as to loss of capital, no administration cares, and no delays.

Hello Homemakers. Yes, - we have potatoes. They are the best vegetable for use the year round and the easiest vegetable to serve in a variety of ways. Why don’t we all cook more of them? Some folks think they are fattening, but they are not as fattening as the starches most often used to replaqfe (hem—thread, macaroni, rice,

-etc. Potatoes contain lots of minerals and vitamins Cooked in their jackets they retain the vitamin value which

. is lost in peeling. Therefore, your re- solution should be: serve potatoes baked or oiled with-skin-on four times

■ every week Then watch the clock— do not overcook them or they may turn soggy and grey.

Potatoes are one of our staple foods which may be served twice daily foi their energy value as well as economy.

BAKED POTATOES Select potatoes of medium size;

scrub thoroughly and prick skin with fork; brush with dripping. Bake in electric oven at 350 degrees for about 70 minutes.

Variations: 1. Core the potatoes; stuff with

chopped raw onions before baking. 2. Core the potatoes; stuff centre

with cheese and put piece of raw core on top.

3. Core potatoes lengthwise and place weiner in centre or sausage meat

When potatoes are baked, make a cross through skin and squeeze potato until the cut edge stands up. Add a piece of butter and diash of papri- ka.

POTATO TIDBITS

Cook the potatoes in their jackets. Then, remove skins; cut lengthwise In thick stick pieces. Brush with dripping and roll in grated cheese. Bake in hot oven for 19 minutes.

QUICK POTATO SOUP

Cook two tablespoons of finely chopped onion in two tablespoons of

fat for a few minutes. Stir in two tablespoons of flour, then slowly add 1 quart of milk and 1 cup of grated potatoes. Cook 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and dash of nut- meg. MASHED TURNIP AND POTATO

Cook equal portions of diced tur- nips and potatoes together. Drain and mash with 1-2 cup of milk, 1-2 teaspoon sugar and salt and pepper to taste. CREAMED POTATO CASSEROLE

6 medium potatoes 2 tablespoons fat 2 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups milk 1-2 cup grated onion 1-2 cup grated carrot

Dash of pepper. Peel and slice potatoes. Grease cas-

serole and add layer of potatoes, then sprinkle on flour and onion and dot with the fat. Fill with sliced potatoes pour in milk. Sprinkle the seasonings and grated carrot on top. Bake at 350 degrees in electric oven for 45 minutes.

POTATO SALAD

. 3 cups cubed cooked potatoes 1-4 cup grated onion Salt and pepper 1-3 cup salad dressing Mix together lightly.

Variations:

Grated raw turnip, cooked diced vegetables (parsnips, carrots, celery), corn niblets, peas, parsley or grated cabbage.

Health Authorities Debunk Mineral Values ot Wate»

One of the most popular and prev- alent beliefs today is that certain minerals in water are beneficial to the body while others are harmful, says the Illinois department of health. 9

Only a few minerals found in natural waters have any beneficial or harmful effects upon health. Iodine may aid in goiter prevention while fluorine affects the teeth. Persons unaccustomed to drinking water containing glauber or epsom salts may experience some definite phys- iological effect. Supported by a few of these known facts many other claims have been advanced and kept alive in the public mind.

With many persons, the state of mind seems to affect their physical well-being. The belief that a certain water is healthful, combined witl. the increased amount generally con sumed under such conditions, may cause some benefit to result merely from the improved mental outlook and the consumption of more water which meets better the bodily needs.

Authorities who have made studies of the relationship of minerals in water to health, differ in their opinions. Thus, persons disagree. Some drink water containing considerable lime to aid in body building, while others drink lime-free water, believing the mineral harmful. Which one is correct is unim- portant, for the greatest fallacy in the belief that minerals in natural water contribute or are detrimental to general health is that minerals occur in water in such minute quantities.

Leg Make-up Long Used By Native African Police,

The subject of leg make-up, of all; things, has attracted the attention of the Chicago Natural History mu-i stum. Dr. Wilfrid D. Hambly, cura- tor of African ethnology, com-, mented that American girls’ com-: placent assumption of originality In their solution of the problem due to lack of nylons and silk, is quit# unjustified. The idea was anticipated years ago by policemen — African tribesmen civilized and trained fof| police work, and used in the service j of the government of British West Africa. I

“The uniform of the Nigerian police was a dark blue, with knsr | breeches, and blue puttees,” said. Dr. Hambly. “But more often than! not the feet were bare, yet they were! resplendent with an unnatural Jet black luster. Indeed, no shoes were worn for all the toes were visible, but at a distance there was a r«-| markable effect of wearing patent: leather shoes polished to a high de- gree.

"The solution of this mystery came unexpectedly during an early morning visit to a government station where a number of police were; preparing for parade. All their feet were up on a low wooden bench, and shoe polish was being liberally ; applied to the bare pedal extremi-: ties up to the lower edge of thej puttees. The men then vigorously] brushed until the skin of their feet and ankles assumed a polished] surface that the most conscientious shoe-shine boy could hardly expect] to attain on leather.”

Metallic Flesh and Bone Used for Artificial Ears

Metallic flesh and bone made from tantalum are providing new ears and rehabilitating torn nerves and other tissues for thousands of persons, Dr. Clarence W. Balke reported to American Chemical society.

Artificial ears have been grown on frameworks of tantalum wire, and more than 5,000 skull injuries have been repaired with tantalum plates.

Thousands of severed or injured nerves have been made sound again j with tantalum foil, and literally miles of wire have been used for surgical sutures, Dr. Balke reported.

Tantalum is. called “biologically acceptable” since body tissues ad- 1 here to and grow over the metal. Both tantalum and columbium are completely non-irritating to living tissue, and they are not made irritating by pathological or disease conditions within the tissues.

Implants of tantalum gauze are used where muscular or other soft tissue is either milling or has been removed. Final repair of recurrent hernia and closure of abdominal walls after cancer removal are outstanding illustrations.

Sales Taxes Increase Total state tax collections for fis-

cal 1948 are expected to break all previous records, Federation of Tax Administrators reports. This expec- tation is. based on the momentum of current trends which boosted state tax revenues to a record of 6,676 billion dollars in fiscal 1947. This figure is three-quarters of a billion above the previous record set in 1946. Sales taxes and others directly influenced by inflation are those causing much of the current tax revenue boom. By the same token, revenues from these sources in general , would decline most rapidly in the évent of a recession. Gross receipts and sales taxes in-fiscal 1947 yielded states 3,456 billion dollars, more than any other kind of tax. Collections in this group increased 22.3 per cent over 1946. This category includes taxes on general sales, motor fuels, alcoholic bever- ages, tobacco products, public utilities and others.

Bauxite Mined in Guianas Trinidad, well known for the black

asphalt that flows from its bubbling Pitch lake, is developing a new business, bauxite, the ore from which lightweight aluminum is extracted. Paradoxically, no bauxite is mined in Trinidad. But because tidewater rivers are shallow in Surinam and British Guiana on the neighboring South American mainland, two small bays on Trinidad’s coast serve as centers of bauxite storage and transfer. For many years, shallow-draft steamers have taken on bauxite for the United States aluminum industry at Moengo, 70 miles <5 inland from the Surinam coast. Paranam, 25 miles up the Surinam river, is a newer mineside bauxite port.

Now Mines Gas Gas was produced successfully in

sealed coal mines in an experiment conducted at Gorgas, Ala. A U- shaped horizontal mine was developed in the coal bed 30 feet under a hilltop, and an isolated pillar of solid coal 40 feet wide and 150 long was formed inside the “U." Com- bustion was assisted by blasts of air, oxygen-air, oxygen-air-steam, oxygen-steam or steam. The first three methods produced gas* that could be used for generating power: the last two yielded gases suitable foi manufacturing synthetic prod- icts. In about 50 days the mine was cooled, first with steam, then with water, to permit examination of th« underground residue.

Doughboys Offer Selves For Sandfly Fever Tests

Fourteen soldiers who volunteered to submit to experiments which greatly increased the knowledge of, sandfly fever, a disease encountered by American fighting men in tropical and semi-tropical regions, have been awarded the Legion of Merit, the war department announced,

i The soldiers were all Infected with the disease during the experiments. The fever was produced in some of the volunteers by small Injections of blood from individuals who had it,! and in others by deliberate exposure' to repeated bites of Infected sand- flies. •

Sandfly fever—the medical mil .oag it “phlebotomus fever”—is caused by the nocturnal bite of Si] sandfly carrying the Infective agent,] a filterable virus, The carrier U j fly about an eighth of an Inch long,1

and it is only tho female of the, species which bites. The puncture of; the skin is usually painful and In a week or two the bite area becomes inflamed and iwollen.

Tho patient Is Incapacitated; for one or two weeks, although his temperature, going as high as 102 or 104 degrees, usually subsides In' about three days. -j

Better Names Better names for purebred live-

stock are being urged by Dr. W. A. Craft of the U. S. department or agriculture’s regional swint breeding laboratory at Ames, Iowa, and A. B. Caine, professor of animal husband- ry at Iowa State college. Names should associate animals with the' name of the farm, the owner, the line of breeding or even the breed, Instead of being meaningless in list- ings, they point out. While they had particular reference to swine, other livestock were also put in the same category. The experts believe that an orderly system of naming animals would contribute to the improvement of pedigreed stock, and would help dignify and distinguish the owner’s business.

Brenner Pass The Brenner Pass, one of the

easiest and lowest crossings over the Alps, links southwest Austria and northeast Italy. It is situated in territory long and bitterly contested between peoples living north and south of the Alps. The Italians won the last round in 1919, when their frontier was pushed northward to this point in accordance with World- War settlements. For more than 2,000 years the Brenner Pass has been a convenient channel for in- vasion, commerce and culture, as well as often a battleground itself. Through it barbarian hordes poured to sack the rich Italian lands. Roman legions built a road through it and then made it echo with the tramp of marching feet.

Elm Leaf Beetle The elm leaf beetle is about a

quarter of an Inch long, a dull olive green with an indistinct black stripe on each side and yellow antennae and lags. They feed on the leaves of elm trees in the spring and early summer and seek winter shelter soon after mid-July. Often they oome indoor* in large numbers. If you are bothered by them, make a careful search of places where they might enter—the chimney, spaces under the eaves or behind the clap- boards or shingles—and inspect win- dow*" to see if they are getting in through spaces where the screens do not fit snugly. If It is the chimney, you can screen the top or tie several thicknesses of cheesecloth over it until September. , • ' J

Prudence Island Offered For Foot, Mouth Research

Rhode Island has taken the lead in solving the problem of where to build a United States foot-and- mouth disease research laboratory.

A congressional delegation of that state has proposed that the necessary facilities be constructed on Prudence island in Narragansett Bay, R. I.

Government acceptance of the site hinges on final approval by. and necessary arrangements with, state and local officials and livestock interests. The island has an area of several square miles and is ample for the 500-acre establishment needed for the research work

All things considered, Prudence island fulfills the requirements of federal legislation and meets general operating needs more fully than any other available location

, yet proposed. The principal federal requirement is that the laboratory must be on a coastal island sepa- rated from the mainland by deep, navigable water.

Construction costs are estimated at a minimum of 25 million dollars, annual operating costs at 2.5 million dollars or more. The project would be staffed by about 300 employees.

One President ‘Missing,’ According to Researcher

Research experts, digging into history, have unearthed evidence which Indicates that we have overlooked a president. Instead of 33 men holding the highest office in the land, we could, by virtue of a technicality, list 34. *

As the “missing” president is also a Missourian, there is a doubt about Mr. Truman’s claim to fame as the first chief executive to haii from the “Show Me” state.

The gentleman who thus far has been slighted by the historical record is David R. Atchison, senator from Missouri, 1843,55.

The main historical clue to Atch- ison’s presidency is found in the 1913 edition of the Biographical Congressional Directory. The directory reveals that Atchison was president of the United States for one day.

According to World Book ency- clopedia, President Polk’s term ex- pired on March 3, at midnight. Zachary Taylor was not sworn in as president until March 5, 1849.

At that time there was no vice president, and Atchison had claim to the presidency because he was president pro tem of the senate and next in line for the job.

Tornadoes Are Explained Tornadoes are like lightning—

they hardly ever strike twice in the same place. H. L. Jacobson, veteran forecaster foj the U. S. weathgr bureau in ÔhicSfo, says tornadoes usually are caused by opposing air currents çjuring a severe tHun3erst6rrft—cold air Mov- ing downward and warm air up- ward. The weather man says the same principle applies to the water spouts sometimes seen in large bodies of water. The water rises through the vacuum in the center of thé whirling air currents. Jacob- son says no accurate wind meas- urements ever have been made near the center of a tornado. He explained that there are more tornadoes in the spring because there is more moisture in the air and more thunderstorms.

Where Aspen Can Be Used Aspen is one of the least durable

woods and is known to deteriorate or rot rapidly under conditions fa- voring decay. Records on aspen used under moist and severe decay conditions have shown that serious decay and failure of the product may develop in three to four years. Although there is considerable prejudice against aspen for uses in which decay is not a factor when good construction practices are followed, for such uses as siding, roof boards, sheeting and rafters, experience has shown that aspen is as durable as any wood, either hardwood or softwood, under use conditions where it remains dry or is exposed to moisture for relatively short periods.

Blackberries in the Garden Some people have failed with

blackberries because they did not realize that blackberries are self- sterile and that sometimes it is necessary to have more than one variety in order to insure cross- pollination. The home gardener finds also that his blackberry patch becomes unmanageable when he does not care for it properly. It becomes an impenetrable thick- et and sometimes overgrows a small garden. With proper management and the possible develop- ment of better varieties in the future, the blackberry may become more important for the garden.

(Jan 10 - 14) This week, because this writer had

the misfortune to be absent as the result of a common cold, there is not very much news. On Wednesday afternoon Mr. Carleton was in Alex- andria attending the organization meeting of the Glengarry High School Board. This is the new area board which governs the three schools, and will perhaps have a telling effect on Maxville High.

Tickets may be purchased from Mr. Carleton at the school.

Saturday, January 8, was spent very

profitably by four boys of the school. They installed a switchboard in the telephone system, and it works very

well. On Friday a Signals Sergeant from

Kingston was at the school, and as- sembled the large short - wave set.

He also gave some of the boys instruction in its operation. It has been

Objective For Feed Grains

Objective of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture in feed grain in 1949 is 200,000,000 bushels, C. D. Graham, Deputy Minister of Agricul- ture said in a radio broadcast this week. Mr. Graham was Interviewed by Jack McPherson on the Canadian Radio Farm Broadcast.

Mi-. Graham said, in answer to. a question that 200,000,000 bushels will supply minimum requirements : for Ontario’s livestock during the year. He also stated that “it is good business for farmers to aim at increased yields pei- acre. This cuts down production cost per unit”.

Mr McPherson, duruing the inter- view, drew the Deputy Minister's attention to the fact that “in general, yields per acre for most of our cereal and forage crops have been on the decline and also that average yields are away below those being obtained by our best farmers.” j

“It seems to me that it all comes down to the fact that cm' farmers art maintaining the fertility of their soils simply by good farming practices Mr. Graham replied. “That includes a number of factors such as crop rotation, plowing down green manure crops and proper handling of manure and fertilizer. In short they are doing everything possible to conserve the soil and improve it for succeeding crops. ”

Questioned about the growing of clovers, Mr, Graham replied that “clover is important and it has been brought out at crop improvement meetings that there are half a million fewer acres in Ontario producing legume forage than there were 20 years ago." 1

“What's more,” the Deputy Minister continued, “the yield per acre is scarcely being maintained. That should not be. In the interests of our soils we should be growing more legumes Furthermore, the production of more clovers and palatable grasses will provide more home-grown pro- tein."

Questioned about hay and pasture mixtures, Mr. Graham said that since 1944, 2,060 acres of long-term demon- stration plots have been laid down. Most of these are still in production.

“Last year a program of pasture work on problem soils was started, j This will be continued and In 19491

there will be two additional plots to each county of from three to five acres (

each. These will be known as short- term hay pasture plots, which can be worked into the regular rotation of crops,” he declared

Mr. Graham said that the weed problem in corn is being overcome by introduction and use of chemioals applied, with improved sprayers of the low pressure type.

Questioned further on weed control

in other crops, Mr. Graham said that during recent years of war conditions

and labour snorcages weeds get quite a start.

“Howevei, I believe there will be a marked improvement this coming year in the effective control of weeds. Our Department will continue to at- tack the problem with vigorous effort. But I should like to point out that each individual farmer has a definite responsibility in the control df weeds in his own neighbourhood. That also includes -eradication ' of

; barberry and buckthorn shrubs be- j cause their presence definitely in- j ci eases the losses from grain rust,” j he said.

j Questioned on potatoes the Deputy Minister said that Ontario is becom-

S ing more self-supporting in potatoes. Many farmers now realize that it is a

; highly specialized crop, j “Potatoes leave the land in good ’ condition for succeeding crops and the crop is a very important one in certain sections,” he said. "We expect our present acreage will be main

j tsined with many farmers giving in- ; creased attention to quality and bet- , ter marketing practices!” | Mr. Graham also pointed out that ; there are excellent supplies of high quality seed available for practically all recommended varieties. For this reason it would be a good year for an in crease in use of registered seed.

“Large quantities of our good seed

t have been exported during recent

years, while it has been found that in

recent surveys only about one-third of our farmers use Number One

Grade. I hope our farmers will make

use of better seed this coming year,”

he said

Minute Organism Main J

. Cause of Food Spoilage Ths main cause of food spoilage

is the action of three groups of minute organisms that are present ev- erywhere — bacteria, yeasts and molds. For successful canning it is not enough just to destroy these micro-organisms by heat, as the food must also be protected from the air by tight seals.

The four principal types of spoilage caused by bacteria are botulism, which will cause death, putre- faction, fermentation and flat sour. There have been some instances on record where the food which caused botulism gave no evidence of ab- normality, but the other three types of spoilage are characterized by bad odor, cloudy liquid and discolored food.

Yeasts and molds ate easily destroyed by heat in canning. Tem- peratures below the boiling point of water (from about 170 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit for varying periods of time) are effective in killing them. Yeasts rarely cause spoilage in canned foods, and molds never do unless a faulty container allows organisms from the air to get into the food. (

When foods are definitely acid, as fruits and tomatoes, all forms of bacteria are killed within a reasonable time at boiling water temperature. But with nonacid foods such as meats, corn, beans and practically all vegetables except tomatoes, these heat-resistant bacteria can be killed with safety and speed only at the high temperatures obtainable in a steam pressure cooker.

Neuropsychiatrie Patients Reconditioned by Army

A program of reconditioning designed to prepare neuropsychiatrie patients for return to duty as soldiers or return to civilian life in the best possible physical and mental condition was announced by the war department.

Undertaking of the program on a large scale results from an experiment conducted for several months at an army hospital which showed

j that many men with mild forms of mental and emotional maladjust- ment responded readily to reconditioning therapy and became fit for further service.

Under the plan, men suffering from psychiatric disturbances wifi participate in carefully organized convalescent activities under the guidance of trained psychiatrists. The schedules will include physical reconditioning and occupational, educational and recreational therapy. Patients will be under military discipline but will be permitted sufficient latitude to pursue as far as possible interests that will be useful in later army careers or civilian life,! They will wear duty uniforms instead of the customary hospital garb.

Experience has shown that the majority of patients with mental and emotional upsets are benefited by the prompt institution of a planned program which prevent! apathy,! morbid introspection and preoccupa- tion with somatio (bodily) manifeb-: tations of emotional disturbances. !

Vaudeville Born in Valley Of Vire in Normandy

“Vaudeville” was derived from Val or Vau de Vire (Valley of the Vire) which was later corrupted into the present form. In a wooded gorge of the Vire in Normandy stood a mill which belonged to the ancestors of Olivier Basselln; to Olivier were ascribed the “Vaux de Vire,” drinking songs first published in the 17th century, which sounded the keynote of early vaudeville entertainment.

Five roads converging on Vire made it locally famous as a cattle market and horse fair. Woolen mills in the town produced much of the poilu-blue cloth for French uniforms in the first World war. Near-by granite quarries were extensively worked.

Vire grew up outside the walls of the fortlike castle, now in ruins, built by Henry I of England In the 12th century. Three sides of the castle were inaccessible because of steep cliffs. The town trails down the fourth side of the hill toward the river.

The Gothic gateway of the old town wall was still standing before the war. Dominating the scene was ËO& SIQSH tower. Tits Medieval

urch of Notre Dame faces a lime- bordered terrace overlooking the valley.

Tough Skin of Cornea Used in Eye Grafts

Recent stories about “eye banks” being set up in the United States have led to popular misconception that ayes can be transplanted from a person to another, says the Better Vision insitute.

“Marvelous as are the strides of modern science, it still is impossible to transplant an eya from one person to another, and in view of the delicate and intricate make-up of the optic nerve, it seems reasonable to predict that it may never be possible to transplant eyes,” asserts the institute. "We will have to get along with the pair of eyes given to' us at birth and we cannot hope that’ the time may come when we can1

«lip a new eye into a socket to take the place of one that has loat ito ability to sea.

“The purpose of ‘eye banks’ is something entirely different. Human eyes for banks are desired for the transparent skin, or cornea, at the front of the eye. This tough skin, like body skin, can be grafted from one person to another. If the eojrnea of a person’s eye becomes clouded and shuts cut light, if healing oornea skin is available, it can bo grafted on in place of die clouded skin. Accidents and illness are the

Popular Choice Defeated Benjamin Harrison, in 1888, re-

ceived 96,000 fewer votes but was elected over Grover Cleveland; Ru- therford B. Hayes was elected in 1876, although his opponent, Samuel Tilden, had a plurality of 250,000.

In these cases an analysis of the vote reveals that Harrison carried a number of states with a larger number of electors by a small plurality and Cleveland won a heavy vote in states with a small number of electors. In the Hayes-Tilden contest, a dispute over electoral votes in certain states caused congress to re- fer the vote to an electoral commission composed of eight Republicans and seven Democrats, which awarded 185 electoral votes to Hays* and 184 to Tilden.

Andrew Jackson in 1824 received a popular plurality of more than 50,- 000 but as no candidate received a majority of the electoral vote, the election was decided by the house of representatives, which chose Ad- ams.

Corn Darkening Some homemakers have ..

CMS darkening at the top of and In extreme cases throughout the jar. The age of the com has something to do with this type of spoilage. It should always be used when it is in the milk stage, and then sufficient water should be added before pre- oooking—one-half as much water as com. This prevents any earamellza- tion of sugar, which may bo tho cause of the dark color.

Corn should be precooked long enough to reach the boiling point and then packed in the jars while hot. Fresh corn in the milk stage, packed hot and processed in the pressure cooker and then cooled as quickly as is possible, should give a canned corn of high quality. If it is impossible to carry out these requisites, then com should not be canned. Some other method for pre- serving it should be used.

Strongest Boundary The mountain wall of the Pyre-

nees, which separates the Iberian Peninsula from France and the rest of Europe, is rated the strongest natural boundary in Europe. Its passes played a dramatic modern role, when Spanish loyalists fled to France at the end of the 1936-39 war that was a curtain raiser for today’s world-wide conflict. Compared.with the Alps, the rocky mountain masses that rise precipitously, along a sweep of 260 air miles from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean, are broken by relatively few gaps. The most used passageways are near sea level, at the eastern and western ends of the barrier, where the chief railways and highways run.

Served Phosphate Four million pounds of beef on the

hoof were created last year because thousands of Texas cattle were served the rangeland equivalent of the soda fountain “phosphate.” Much of the coastal region of the South has less than the necessary amount of phosphorus in the soil. Served a "phosphate” regularly, however, cattle stay fat and sleek even during drouths. Cows produce 28 per cent more calves. At wean- ing time, calves average 76 pounds heavier.' In this way, four cents’ worth of crystal disodium phosphate helps create two pounds of beef for ‘he table. I

«entipedes are beneficial in that they nèd on small Insects, including roaches, files, moths and mos- quitoes. Centipedes are capable of biting, but are considered harmless. They should not be controlled unless their number is objectionable. Milli- pedes are slow animals with many legs. In fact, they have two pairs of legs on each body segment, with the exception of the first three, which have only one pair. Millipedes feed on decaying organic matter and in no way harm wood or house furnishings. They live in damp situ- ations, and if. the dampness is cleared up, they will leave or soon die. They may be controlled by sprinkling Paris green lightly over slices of potatoes or apples and plac- ing this bait where the millipede* ire found.

Doughboy Tune Makes ^ Hit on Italian Front

A new infantry song, composed by doughboys of the Third Infantry division, which has one of the longest records of combat servlet of any of our army’s ground units, is ene of the most popular numbers on the Italian front, an officer Just back from four campaigns in the North African theater of operations re- vealed. The song, "The Dogface Sol- dier,” is played by the Third division band at ceremonies, parades, dances, and all other public gather- ings.

“They play it hot, and they play it sweet,” the officer said. "The whole Italian countryside knows it."

The lyrics of th* latest GI tune are:

I’d rather be a dogface soldier like v I am,

I wouldn’t trade my old O. D.’s for all the navy’s dungarees.

For I’m the walking pride of Unole Sam.

On all the posters that you read, they say the army builds men,

So they’re tearing me down to build me over again.

And I eat a Kraut for breakfast; every day.

So feed me ammunition, keep me in the Third division; \

Pipe Gas to Welders r

In U. S. Shipyard The world’s largest and coldest^

“thermos bottle,” which maintains a temperature of 297 degrees below zero, Is used in an American shipyard in providing acetylene and oxygen for burners, welders and rod operators. It is part of a new low-pressure generating system which pipes these gases to the point of work and thus makes it unneces-| sary to carry cylinders of liquid air to the job.

A continuous and even flow of the mixed "juice” (under this new system) is available to hundreds of outlets, conveniently spaced. The new method requires a special tech- nique and men are being instructed in its use.

In the Driox or oxygen house, liquid oxygen is drained out of trucks snd piped into large converters, similar to a gigantic thermos bot-, tie, and where it is maintained at a tsmperetur* of 297 degrees below zero.

Father of Navy

to ink outstanding victories at sea,1

is entitled to the honor of being tho roal father of the United States navy.

The No. 1 commission in the Unit- ed States navy, signed by George Washington, went to John Barry, a comparatively unknown Irishman from county Wexford. Barry was granted his commission for bravery during the Revolution.

Jones is buried in the chapel of the United States Naval academy at Annapolis, in a tomb which rivals in beauty that of Napoleon in Paris, although the setting is less impressive. Barry, however, has a statue of he- roic size on one of Washington’s main thoroughfares, while John Paul Jones is memorslized by a small,' life-size statue in a remote corner of the mall, behind the White House.

Eucalyptus Trees Among file most extensively plant-

ed eucalyptus trees are those of ths fast-growing type, used as a fuel; as far as my information goes, it is the best wood fuel. These fuel eucalyptus can be felled with good economical success when they are five years old, although it is generally agreed that the optimum felling age is around nine years. Other slower growing varieties are planted In order to use their wood for pickets, in carpentry, etc., and some very slow growing ones furnish very hard woods which compete successfully in this field. An interesting feature associated with the growing of eucalyptus is that when they blossom in late spring they bear the practically only flower rich in nectar at that time; and so, the intelligent agriculturist is able to obtain separately the “eucalyptus honey” from the rest of the production and get a fairly high price for it.

Plant Growth Day length as a factor In plant

growth has been receiving special attention from researchists of ths U. S. department of agriculture. Ne- cessity for supplying crop seeds for planting in various parts of the world has given impetus to studies to determine the relative value of day length in the growth and germi- nation of different crops, and varieties of those crops. Among the versatile crops in this respect are snap beans, field, kidney end lima beans, *• experiments have shown. Because they are “day neutral”— art able to flower when they have either short or long days—It Is possible to grow them over a great range of latitudes, whersver temperatures and other seasonal conditions art favorable. «..

Health Rules For Everybody (.Suggested by the Health League of Canada.)

Eat right for health—follow a bal- anced diet.

Be sure the milk you drink is pas- teurized.

Avoid dirt—practice cleanliness. Avoid contact with persons known

to be suffering from communicable diseases—including colds.

Relax before and after eating. Avoid constipation. Avoid obesity—the state of being

overweight. If dieting is necessary, diet only un-

der the instruction of your physician'. Get at least eight hours sleep dai-

GUARD YOUR HEALTH KNOW HOW o

Safety First Is Good Farm Rule

I During the winter months when ; things are not quite so busy on the I farm is a good time to remedy that hazard which nearly caused an accident back in the summer. Perhaps It was a faulty trap-door or inadequately protected stairs hi the barn, an un- safe bull-pen or loose boards on the house verandah. Whatever It was,

, if it isn't fixed there may be a real j accident this summer. ; It is estimated that there were

37,200 non-fatal accidents on Cana- dian farms in 1947, and 30,000 of these

! were to men. During, the same year ! in the United States 19,500 farm 1 pople were killed accidently and ! 1,800,000 were involved in non-fatal injuries involving lost time,

j Many of cneqp accidents should not 1 have occurred. For instance, on Cana- i dian farms the most frequent accid- ; tnt is from falls, and the most frequent cause is the existence of trap- doors and inadequately protected stairs. Hand ladings on open stairs, and construction of a railing to guard every stairway opening- and trap-door will prevent many injurious falls. New treads to replace old worn steps on stairways may cost a little more than patching, hut will probably cost less than a doctor’s bill and time lost while a broken bone Is mending. Patched steps give a sense of security that only too often does not exist. Plenty of light is an added precaution and stairs in a barn are much safer

when kept free from hay and chaff.

A cause of some farm accidents

which is often overlooked is the use of too loose clothing Long, loose

slickers worn on a wet day can cause

a stumble, or if it is windy can blow Into engine or machinery which is in

operation. It reduces the risk some-

what if a belt is worn with such gar-

ments.

J, Hits Unprecedented Peak The unprecedented peacetime de-

mand for chemical products since the end of the war, which has led to a substantial expansion of plant facilities, also has resulted in an increase in chemical production of 150 per cent over the 1935-39 average, compared with 88 per cent increase for industrial production as a whole, according to Northern Trust company, Chicago.

The figures, based on the Federal Reserve board index of chemical production, take into consideration six major components of the chemical industry — pa«vtsf soap, rayon, industrial chemicals, explosives and other chemical products.

Breaking down production into in- organic and organic chemicals, in- organic chemical output has doubled since 1930. The output of organics, which go into production of synthetic rubber, plastics, improved natural fabrics, insecticides and synthetic fibers, has expanded sixfold during the same period. Inorganics still represent the major part of total production, however, account- ing for 70 per cent in 1946, the bank pointed out.

The great increase in demand, while partly domestic, also is the result of wartime destruction of a large part of the chemical manufacturing capacity in foreign countries, the bank stated. Chemical exports in the first six months pf 1947, showed an increase of 50 per cent over the same period in 1946.

Health Study Shows Need For Personnel, Equipment

While the United States has gone a long way on the road toward keeping people alive and healthy, far more than any other country in the world, there is still a long way to go. That is the gist of a study toward better health conducted by the Research Council for Economic Se- curity^ - i

There are not enough health facilities or health workers for a fully adequate health program, claims the research council, and a survey of existing plans, personnel and equipment reveals these deficien- cies: The U. S. needs 60,000 more doctors than the present 146,000. The number of nurses (of all types) is 317,800, and the number of dentists is 70,000. Both of these amounts should be doubled. There are now 574,930 beds in mental hospitals, 191,- 000 less than are required; 83,187 beds in tuberculosis hospitals, 44,- 000 to 75,000 less than are required, and 710,597 beds in general in all other hospitals, 195,000 less than is needed.

Among the types of need are private medical care, medical care for the poor, school health service, public health nurses, laboratory workers, public health services, industrial (repaid medical care and health programs in industrial plants.

Fix Machinery Now Because machinery is one of the

largest and most important factors in production of crops, it is essential that it be kept in as good repair as possible. Most of this repairing can be .done on the farm during the winter months or at some other slack season. To do much repair work, the farm should have a reasonably well equipped work shop. This means there should be a fairly large building where the tools are kept and where the whole machine or a good portion of it can be taken inside to be repaired. The shop should be equipped with a stove or some other means of heat to make winter work possible. It also should be equipped with a large bench space, drawers and pegs for holding tools and spare parts, a bench vise and possibly a forge. Although the forge is not absolutely necessary for mi- nor repair work, it is necessary for straightening harder metals and can be used, with a little experience on the part of the operator, for soft iron welding.

Things Were Different In Thomas Jefferson’s day, about

90 out of each 100 people in the United States were needed for the production of food. During World War II only 22 out of each 100 produced all the food necessary for our civilian population, armed forces and lend-lease needs. Several key factors have increased modern agriculture’s efficiency. One is the improvement in farm machinery. An- other is better soil management that uses plant foods, lime, deep-rooted legumes and manure to boost crop production per acre and improve the quality. A third factor is the contri- bution of research men in improving plant varieties and increasing the farmer's knowledge of how to use fertilizer more effectively.

Cutting Down Tuberculosis Probably 95 per cent of tubercu-

losis cases in swine are contracted from poultry, according to Ameri- can Veterinary Medical association. In poultry, the disease is found al- most entirely among birds over 18 months old. Among 9 all-puilet flocks, where birds are marketed at the end of the first laying year, the rate was less than 1 per cent. The present feed saving campaign is expected to result in greater use of all-pullet flocks and fewer old laying hens. If this is achieved,, progress in control of tuberculosis in poultry and swine is antiepated by the association.

Hello everybody! This is your A.H-S reporter to bring you the highlights of our schooMife.

The halls of A H.S. are still buz- zing with election speeches and vigor-

ous campaigning. ,By the time you ; read this article the elections will be over and the members of the Stud-

. ent’s Council will be hard at work. : Watch ' next week’s elections, j In the hockey games played over j the week end our High Sohool team I made quite a favorable impression. If the boys keep up the good work the spring may see the Hockey cup reclining on the trophy shelf in our

hall. Here’s hoping! Due. to unfavourable road con-

ditions the majority of the High School pupils had a holiday on. Mon- day Jan: 17th and another on Wed- nesday Jan. 19th I’ll bet that for once in their lives the town students wished that they too lived in the country.

On behalf of the staff and pupils of Alexandria High School I would like to take this opportunity of extending to Mr. and Mrs. Roddie Mc- Phee and family our sincere sympathy in their recent sad bereavement and loss
