Big Change In Monday’s Vote In Glengarry As

Eastern Ontario Goes Solidly Conservative

Osic F. Villeneuve. Reeve Of Maxville, Elected with 1806 Majority

Drew Government Returned With Smaller Majority As C.C.F. Makes Inroads— Every Section Of Glengarry Shows Trend

Dale -F. Villeneuve, reeve of Max- ■viUe, will repreaent Glengarry at Tor- onto In the next Legislature as a result of Monday’s voting. This riding and every other Eastern Ontario constituency excepting only Ottawa East were swept Into the Conserva- tive ranks as East Ontario gave Pre- mier Gçorge Drew a clear mandate to do something for this neglected section of the Province.

Decisively defeating Edmund' A MacGillivray of Alexandria, who had ' been Liberal r^resentative for Glen- garry through the past eleven years. Mr Villeneuve rolled up an unofficial total vote of 5524. His majority of 1806 was the largest ever accorded a Conservative winner in the history of the riding, and compared with a Lilreral majority of 1669 in the 1945 vote.

Trailing with a total of 581 votes was Ron Gostlck, Union of Electors candidate who suffered the same fate destined in recent Glengarry elections for the third party candidates. His total was but a little less than the 614 votes cast lor the C C F. candidate in 1945.

The vote was Villeneuve, Prog-Con. 6524 MacGillivray, Liberal, 3Ï18, arid Gostick, Union of Electors, 681. These figures are unofficial, the result of election night- tabulation at this office, and may be changed some wlrat when Returning Officer Alex A Fraser makes his official count at Apple -Hill on Saturday.

The vote In 1945 including the sol- dier vote, was MacGillivray, Liberal, 6650; Villeneuve Prog-Con MacDonald, C c’ F , 614

Premier Drew’s Progressive Con- servative government was re-elected in Ontario Monday. Buf the Premier suflered personal defeat in an election which saw the CCF replace ’the Liberals as official opposition.

The CCF gains cut deeply into the big majority enjoyed by the Progres- sive Conservatives in the last legislature But the government weather- ed the election safely and emerged with 53 of the 90 seats.

These are the totals, compared with results of the 1945 election:

1948 1945 Progressive Conservative 53 66 CCF 22 3 Liberal 12 11 Labor - Progressive 2 2 Lilieral - Labor , 1 3

Total 90 90 Re-election of the government was

assured almost fro mthe start, but as first returns were received, it also was apparent that the CCF would be the big gainer.

The CCP's new strength was greatest in the 17 Toronto and York ridings, traditional Progressive Conser- vative strongholds, none of which had CCB' representation in the last house.

Party Montreal Marks Date

On Saturday evening, June 5th, relatives of Mr. and Mrs Gerard La- pierre, 6803 DeNormanville St. Montreal, gathered at their home in a surprise party marking their Silver Wedding anniversary. Mrs Lapierreis the former Emma Poirier of Fassl- ferii.

The group entered the Lapierre liome singing “Us ont gagné leurs epaulettes" and «there was a corsage for Mrs Lapierre and a carnation for the groom of 25 years ago. With- in minutes the table had been decorated with streamers and other ornaments and loaded down with many beautiful gifts A well w'orded address was read by their daughter. Miss Lorraine Lapierre, to which Mr. Lapierre suitably replied.

Following' the supper, photos were taken and there was music for danc- ing by Messrs Robert, Noel and Vic- torien Lapierre, brotlier and sons of Mr. Lapierre. Mr Emile Lapierre entertained with a step dance.

Highlighting the evening was the ro-playing records of tlie voices of several of those present. These had been recorded during a visit to relatives in the U S recently and included both songs and messages from those not able to be present.

Deputy Re- turning Officers had been instructed to phone in resiilts to the local party headquartens In Glengarry Gardens Ovei Fiske's objections, party head- quarters .provided complete results received there.

Edmund A MacGiUlvi-ay Liberal candidate conceded his defeat- early in Uie evening and briefly acfcressed the assemblage, expressing his thanks to those who had supported him at tlie polls that day and during the .11 .fears he had represented! Glengarry at Toronto. Mr. MacGillivray congratulated his successful opponent and declared he numbered everyone still his friend even though many had chosen not to support him.

Ron Gostick, Union of Electors’ can didate also took his defeat In good stride but warned that Social Cre- dit would be back, bigger and stronger to contest the next election. He de- plored the resurgance ol the CCF party, especially in the city ridings and warned of its danger. Mr. Gos- tick expressed the pleasure he had found in meeting so many “fine people” in the riding and he paid a nice tribute to the local newspapers for their “very fair coverage” of all three parties—something he had found lacking in other places.

All Maxville seemingly joined hi fne 'ViHeneuve caravan as the win- ni-ng candidate made a triumphant c-nirance into town about 10 pm. Some forty cars were in the horn- tooting procession which made a tour of the prltKlpal streets. Mr. Vil- leneuve spoke briefly in English and French warmly thanking the electors and promising to represent not one race or creed, but every resident of the riding. He was proud of his par-

Indians Play Here Saturday

Quebec Team Extended In Winning 8-6 Victory At Gardens

Flaying the best lacrosse seen here since the season opened Alexandria Maroons almost took the measure ol Quebec Montagnards, now tied for top place, Saturdlay night at Glen- garry Gardens. The Quebec boys Wound up with an 8-6 victory.

Maroons snapped in two goals in the first ten minutes while playing a tight defensive game and they lead 2-1 at the first bell Some 500 fans entliuAiastically cheered Maroon’s first indication of winning tenden- cies.

Fom- goals for Quebec in the second quarter made the score 5-2, but Maroons returned to a scoring pace in the third to make it clcse at 7-6 for the visitors The fast pace of the game toldl on the Quebec boys and they rqforted to a tight ragging game in the final quarter, A goal at 12 25 by Ready was the only score of the period and the Monties left town with an 6-6 victory.

Maroons were stiH minus their regular goaUe, Manning, iH with pneu- monia, but they found a splendid substitute, Saturday, in the Third Kenyon’s Lloyd Kennedy, who w'ent into the nets without prior practise to make many fine saves. The fans wUl want to see liim in action again. Lee McCormick was also out with an Injury anid he was missed on the forward waU. Smith and Gauthier ol CornwaU were newcomers and they showed weU.

Alexandria scorers were Labelle, 2, Gabfc Poirier, Brunet, Smith, Pay- ment, one each. For the visitors big Pat Egan had two^ Ready, three, and singles went to Monahan, King and Desnoyers.

Dogs Doing Much Damage

Dogs running at large have been causing extra heavy loss to the sheep population of the district this Spring and Kenyon Township, which already has suffered losses aggregating one thousand doHars, is preparing to crack down. Warning is being given dog owners that the by-law which en forces the tleing up of dogs from sundown to dawn wiH be rigidly applied and any dog found running at large during the night hours will be destroyed.

The counties of Glengarry and Stor mont wiH form two larger High School areas if the recommendations of the consultative committee, appointed by Counties Council a year ago, are approved by that body at the June session which convenes in Com- waH cn Monday. A report of the work of the committee was given to. a joint meeting of the county cotm- ciHors and members of the various school boards in Glengarry and Stor- mont, held in the Counties' building .CornwaH Wednesday night,

Visualized are one large school to serve needs of Glengarry and another in Stormont which would cover the sections of the townsiilp not now In- ciuded in the area already established in East CornwaH.

Almost all the preliminary steps liave been taken by the various municipalities and school boajrds. and It is expected Counties CouncU wiU set up the areas with the larger adminis- trative boards taking over on January 1st, 1949. Pi'esent school facilltieo would be used untU the new boards saw fit to build the larger units.

Mayor J. R. H. Mbrgan, inspector of high schools in this area was the chief speaker.at Wednesday’s meeting and he reviewed developments to date and ouUined steps necessai’y for completion of the project. In Glen- garry, he said, aH the municipalities have passed resolutions favoring crea- tion of the larger unit and both the Alexandria and Wiiliamstown High School boards have asked to have tbeif boards dissolveid' and the larger unit estabhshed. MaxvUle High School Board had not yet taken that step but trustees present at the meeting intimated that they expected the necessary resolution would be passed in tune for presentation to the Jnnç session. Given the choice between jom- ing Avonmore or a Glengarry school, they stated, MaxviUe would almost certainly decide to stay with the county.

The picture in Glengarry w'as clear Major Morgan declared', and if Coun- ties Council sets up the larger area at this session, the new board, representative of the whole county, would take over in January^ operating the present schools until the new, larger school was erected.

In Stormont, Avonmore and Eox- ■boro townships and Finch VHlage have requested the larger area as have Pinch and Avonmore High Schools. The other groups are expected' to move in that direction . in time to have unanimity before Counties CouncU meets.

Discussing the larger High School areas more generaUy, Major Morgan declared the move wUl be of Im- measurable benefit to the youngsters of school age for years to come. The chief aim Is a better éducation for the children and this section of the Province wiU have a system second, to none. He discussed the cost of the larger school units and stated they can be built paid for over a number of years, staffed and run on less than a 6-mill tax rate.

On a suggestion from James Mc- Arthur reeve of Lancaster VlUage, a resolution was passed unanimously by the meeting endorsing the plans of the Consultative Committee as to the larger areas and recommending that Counties Council put them into effect at the June session. The motion was moved by T. Scott Fraser, reeve of Lancaster township, seconded by John McLennan, reeve of Charlotten- fcurgh.

Perley Boyd, Counties’ Clerk, opened the meeting and John Bogart, reeve of Matilda Twp. and chalmaaa of the Educatloni committee, preaided Several of those present took part in the discussion.

Poultry Campaign Aimed « To Boost Grain Savings

A nationwide “Eats Hens to Help” campaign has been launched by the ÎPoultry and Egg National board, ■with the objective of saving 30 million bushels of grain for Europe. This program is being supported by government agencies, as well as industry members. #

The campaign, which calls for every American family to eat one hen per wéek, car.ries out the pledge worked out by poultry and government leaders as a better grain-saving substitute for pioultryless Thurs- day.

Success of the campaign wili transform 136 million grain-eating hens into chicken pot pie, chicken a la king, chicken ’n dumplings and other favorite dishes which house- wives create from stewing fowl. Grocers and meat dealers are co- operating in the drive to “eat the hens which are eating the grain.”

This campaign is designed to save imore than half of the 56 million !bushels of grain pledged by the jpoultry industry. The program of ‘the citizens food committee calls !for a saving of 100 million bushels of i grain. Consequently, the poultry- ■men’s program will provide 56 per • cent of the total amount of grain ineeded.

iLow Social Standards Noted in Arab States

Egypt is incomparably the big- jgest and richest Arab country. The

; conditions that exist there as re- i ported by Nations Associated to the (United Nations are: 1 Half the children die before they • reach the age of five. Eighty-four per cent of the men and 92 per cent of the women are illiterate. Eighty-

j seven per cent of all cultivable land lis owned by 2 per cent of the people.

Ninety per cent of the population, which is frightfully undernourished, |suffers from trachoma; 75 per cent (from bilharzia (disease of the blood); 70 per cent from pellagra: 15 per cent from malaria.

The death rate is higher than even that of India (27.2 per 1,000).

The average income of farm work- • ers (who are not permitted to or- jganize) is from $24.50 to $29.50 an- inually. The maximum wage of fac- itory workers is $3.72 weekly, and (of children about $1.

Syria, another Arab state, is equally an area of destitution, under-

inourishment and disease, according Ito the report. Agriculture workers (earn 8 to 12 cents a day. There are ;400,000 cases of malaria annually, out of a population of less than 3 million.

Qualifications Are High [ ««For Registered Nurses

It takes knowledge of a high order to become a registered nurse. It takes sound knowledge,Ç for ex- ample, of the principles of physics to handle oxygen tents and various inhalation therapies, or the count- less complicated suction and trac- tion procedures. It takes a good foundation in chemistry, mathematics and physiology in order to' prepare, observe and report reactions to a myriad of medications and agents, and to understand normal nutrition and therapeutic diets. It takes an understanding of psychol- ogy to deal with patients of aU ages, from the new born to the octogena- rian, in all walks of life.

The registered nurses of today, in fact, possess a degree of professional competence in excess of that pos- sessed by physicians of other eras and the responsibility for this increase in professional knowledge, says American Nurses’ association, lies in the education currently offered to student nurses.

Students accepted at any of the 1,250 accredited schools of nursing in the country have a minimum edu- cational background which includes a high school diploma, with em- phasis on courses in English, bio- logical.

The continuing costs of World War II are expected to amount to more than the total military costs of •World War I (31 billion dollars) by June 30, 1948, according to the Na-, tional Industrial Conference board. The continuing costs of World War I are already about 40 per cent greater than the military costs of that conflict.

Nothing could be simpler or more satisfying than redecorating with Spred. No surface preparation is needed you just paint right over the old surface. Faded wallpaper, old paint, stained and faded patches.

—they are all obliterated by Spred’s wonderful covering power. In their place you have a velvety, colorful surface that is readily kept clean. There are no brushmarks, nn 'painty’ odour. And Spred dries in thirty minutes into a hard, long- lasting finish of ■which you will be proud.

R. H. COWAN, Alexandria, Ont.

j Refinlshing Surfaces I When refinlshing enameled or var- inished surfaces, the old surface ! should be thoroughly cleaned and then rubbed lightly with fine sand-

^ paper or steel wool to dull the old ■•gloss and provide a “too-th” for the , new finish. If the old finish Is chipped I or scratched, it should be removed with paint remover and the surface cleaned with turpentine, and left to dry thoroughly before refinlshing. At least two coats of enamel should be used, the first coat being a flat undercoater, which usually is made by the manufacturer of the enamel, and the second coat a gloss or semi- gloss enamel, or an “egg-sheU” enamel, as preferred. In any case, the manufacturer’s directions on the can should be observed.

Reopen Albert Canal I Reconstruction of the Albert canal jOcross northern Belgium provides ,opportunity for peacetime trade on |this waterway which was completed [only a month before the outbreak of iWorld War II. The 79-mlle canal (was heavily damaged during the • German invasion of Belgium in 1940.

its bridges were destroyed and [15^ locks were wiecked. These have [been rebuilt. Connecting Belgium’s teeming port of Antwerp on the Schelde river with the Industrial city MOege on the Meuse, this all-Bel- _ um waterway puts Liege goods [closer to world commerce. It pro- [■vldes better access to Monsin Basin .coal, creates additional factory sites and supplies water for farm ir- rigation use, points out National Geographic society. ’The Albert canal has only six locks and no swing bridges. It not only speeds ship- ments but also accommodates 2,000- ton barges as against the 600-ton

• limit on the old canal. In soma Stretches the canal runs between 40- foot embankments above the sur- rounding country.

Taking Care of Knives The old fashioned way of making

steel knives hollow ground was to grind them sideways, taking one side at a time. Now, however, blades are inserted between (wo .grinding wheels and the concave edge is cut on both sides at once. Taking care of knives is the first

- rule of good carving, according to Steelways magazine. Hold the steel in a firm grip and place the heel of the blade against its tip. With a gen- tle wrist motion, bring the blade down the steel, then repeat the movement on alternate sides.

i Handwashing Precaution Thorough washing of the hands

before eating was one of the cardi- nal precautions recommended by National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis during the recent epi- demic season. Scientific studies have sho-wn that the hands may be a means of spreading the virus infec- tion through the contamination of food, drinks or objects carried to the mouth. For this reason, the foundation cautions that a high standard of personal cleanliness should be maintained,* and that fresh fruits and vegetables especially should be jvashed wgj} before

■ Ancient Magic Bean It was several thousand years ago,

so the story goes, that a party of jewel merchants was besieged by .bandits in the Chinese hills. When .the party’s food was exhausted and their energy waning, one of the serv- ’ ants found some little hairy beans which he pounded into coarse meal and made into cakes. In amazement, j the merchants saw how their energy ( came back after they ate these | nourishing bean cakes. When at last ( the party made its way back to ! civilization, the soybean went along and became the staff of life in the | Orient. In 2838 B. C. it was described j in Chinese literature and was culti- ; vated when the pyramids were be- j Ing built in Egypt. The soybean was ; one ol the five sacred grains in China and was sown with the bless- [Ings of emperors and the incanta- tions ol priests.

Beginning of Iced Tea Iced tea was invented as an emer-

gency by an Englishman in America at the 1904 St. Louis exposition. His name was Richard Blechynden and he dreamed up an elaborate exhibit in a costly pavilion to promote tea as the English drink it. He over- looked one important factor. It gets hot in St. Louis in the sunjmertlma and hot tea was the last thing visitors were interested in. In despera- tion, he experimented with ice and came up with substantially the aame tempting taste-pleaser that is served as iced tea today. His iced item made an instantaneous hit. That was in 1904, but today, 43 years later, the United States is the cmly country in which Iced tea has be- ^me popular. j

A Period of Unequalled Growth

In the 34 months since V-J Day we have edded 350,000 telephones—many more than in the preceding ten years. We now serve 1,360,000 telephones—22 for every 100 persons throughout Ontario and Quebec. We have never before provided to much new service in so short a time.

This unprecedented pace has been maintained with the aid of new capital from Canadian investors. More will be required.

The Continuing Demand for Service

Yet, despite this rapid growth, we still have 96,000 unfilled orders for telephones and another 69,000 requests to change party lines to individual service. Thousands of new orders are coming in every month.

Long Distance calls are three times pre-war levels.

Many new buildings, switchboards, lines and other equipment must be provided as rapidly as possible. 'The next decade may well see more telephone construction than during the preceding 68 years of our history.

Rural Telephone Servke Rural telephone service has expanded, and will continue to do so. In the terri- tory we serve, 55 of every 100 rural homes and businesses have telephones. In 1945 only 39% had service.

Vast Construction Program Continues

Parliament has given the Bell Telephone

Company permission to increase its

authorized capital by $350,000,000.

The Company can now continue to go

to investors for the money necessary

to further the greatest expansion and

improvement program in its history.

This construction program is neces-

sary if the Company is to carry out its

obligation and satisfy the public’s con-

tinuing demand for more telephones and

more telephone service.

Our obiective is to extend and improve

the service so that ultimately we can

give every applicant the kind and quality of service he wonts, when

and as he wants it.

Our farm program calls for still more

telephones, for fewer parties on each line, and for more new switchboards.

Dial Telephones

New dial equipment is being installed in tremendous quantities.

Today we have more dial telephones than the total of all our ttlfphnnft ia 194^ Now 70 out of «very 100 telephosw are dial. More exchanges will be coo* verted to dial operation.

Financing the Program

Much of the new money necessary to extend the telephone system must be obtained from thousands of people who wish to invest their savings.

The principal means of securing this new capital will be by issuing additional shares of our stock from time to time with the approval of the Board of Transport Com- missioners.

It was for this purpose that the authority of Parliament was obtained.

Best Service — Lowest Cost

The skill and enthusiasm of telephone workers will be devoted to turning the materials obtained with the new capital into service of the highest standard.

The public can be assured that The Bell Telephone Comply of Canada will continue to provide the best telephone service at the lowest possible cost.

Township of Kenyon Warning To Dog Owners

AR exceptionally large number of sheep, as -well as poultry and heifers, have been killed by dogs in the To'wnship of Kenyon, this year. The loss already is nearing the one thousand dol- lar mark.

A by-law is in force prohibiting the running at large of dogs from Sundown to da-wn AND THIS BY-LAW IS TO BE RIGIDLY ENFORCED. Any dog found running at large will be destroyed. KEEP YOUR DOG TIED UP AT NIGHT.

cui in the veW (bush) again). 'What j stories he could teU: All I could an- I swer him was- about the skiing or the cinemas in Montreal. He did not

j know about the station in Montreal, I but he knew all about Brother Andre I and had read all the literature about I him. It seemed quite marvellous to jnie that he had such a lively interest in his home country after all these

'years and his hospitality did credit to it too.

I.ile in the veld, on the Missions is absolutely opposite to our city life I live in the city of Salisbury, but for my holiday I visited the bundu, as I was Interested to see how other people live, and being a schoolteacher I wanted to see the native schools The country is dotted with huge granite lumps and roads are really washed away frequently by the heavy rains so that when you travel out of town you drive on strips of tarmac. Then turning into a native reserve is like going through fields at home. It gives you perhaps the same feeling as -«'hen you first get on skates (how long you -will keep up is always an un- certainty) . The scenery is very beautiful in all directions in the country. Life of course gets more primitive as you travel out to the Missions.

I One day I set out to visit a witch doctor. I have ol course listened to

I many stories of them so I wanted to see one in person The village was some miles away over the rocks. The

j nurse (a Sister) came with me as I fear I get easily lost here where the paths are really like the ribbons you sec in the country .from a plane, as

I you look below you. They are more like maizes. I arrived at the village of Chiradza (called after the Head man). Tlie village was well chosen On one side ol It was a huge rock, and on the other undulating slopes Now the homes look like a lot of bee hives with grass roofs. In this village the huts were all in line (in some places it is not like that). So we called at the first hut—a woman and her baby were thele in the dark (tliere were no windows in these huts as the native believes witches enter if there is an opening to his home). I knew a lew words to speak so I exhausted these very rapidly and sister then carried on. As we went from one hut to another a very talkative old native woman accompanied us Finally she said at one door “AAAAh” a long drawn out expression of joy. I found out why very quickly. There on the floor, lay her lord and master Chiradza himself, (head man ol. this village). I wish you could have seen him. In the middle of his hut was a fire on the floor (the floors are of course made of cow dung pounded in to make a solid ground) He was dress ed in old) sacks and lay on a grass mat. In his hand he held a mealie (corn) cob which he kept alternately tearing at with his teeth and roasting in the fire and on his head was a Khaki hat with a blue knife through it. His face had all the furrows ol time, and his ideas were very, very intriguing.

Particularly did I get a jolt about my own iniportance in his eyes. He said “IVho are you?” “Are you married?” With my reply in the negative, he looked' at me and, having three wives himself, thought (I am sure) that I could not have been worth much, since no one had paid lor me. Of course the native buys a new wile when ever he gets a little more money—so this is another hardship on the native who becomes a Christian. He loses face with his tellowmen as he can only have one wife. After a long gaze at me he said “How soon she be married?” Apparently, he did not think me quite worthless. I said good bye soon after as he demanded a dip per of water from his wife (never moving from his position on the fleer ) I was glad to leave him to her ministering attentions

Well, we had travelled the whole length of the place and no hut dis- closed the witch doctor. Suddenly I beheld in the distance what looked like a pixie, or the Irish Leprechaun A tiny man hopped towards us, on tiny little wizened up arms and legs. As he came nearer I noticed he wore an old shirt, a bright red peaked hat and a charm hung on his neck. His face was really Weird in the extreme It was full of old world cunning He slid past, while Sister addressed a n,an coming in from the fields. As all the women carry their bundles, even sowing machines on their heads I was showlflg off that I could carry a Look on mine and this native was having fun at my expense when our friend slid by. We soon caught up with him sitting crosslegged on the ground at the base of a hill. Sister asked him for his bones. He -uses them for foretelling the future, — a nice form of fortune telling !! He pretended no to hear. But he

kept calling to her for “Muti’’ medicine). I was highly amused as I expected to see him curing himself by his own medicines. But apparently It is like the cook not wanting her own cooking. Sister gave him Vix as he seemed to be bothered with a cough. He wanted to eat it and t'nen when Sister said to rub it, he nearly took the only article of clothing on his bones off. He would talk hardly at all, but a dog kept keeping Sister from getting too close. (I was more afraid of the dog than the old lad). A native came up and built a fire near the Old One He had prickly pears in his hand He took a large axe and cut the prickles off the pear with a few little strokes of the axe up In his hand. I -was thinking I would not like to annoy him. I timidly asked the old one’.s age. He replied ‘2000 maybe more”. Then he warned us that we better set out for home as they do not ever stay out after dark, lUhey worry over evil spirits being on the loose then). He showed us a short cut home, having really put the fear of the Lord in me by telling us that a leopard had) attacked their cattle the night before and half eaten two cows.

The thrill of fear I expected from the witch doctor, was supplied by the imaginary feet .of the leopard behind me as I came back to the mission on wings.

I have no time for any more, but life is not monotonous here, even though we have no hockey or skiing I hope 1948 will be very happy for all my Glengarry friends.

Sincerely, Colette Hannan

formerly High School teacher at Alexandria.

Drew Defeated (CXmtinued from page 1)

by Progressive Conservatives. The ether two Were retained by the only Labor-Progreesive members in the Legislature.

Mr. Joliffe, who did not have a. seat in the last legislature, was elected in York South, defeating W. S. Gibson^ Fi'ogressive Conservative, and Rag- r.ar Johnson, Liberal.

The Liberal Leader, Farquhar Oliver, 44, was re-elected In Grey, Bepth—a seat he has held since 1926 He defeated three opponents

Agnes Macphail was the only successful woman candidate, -winning Y'oi'k East for the CCP. Five other women vfere defeated. Miss Macphail, who in 1921 became the first woman ever elected to the federal parliment, was elected as a CCP candidate in the 1943 provincial election and was defeated in 1945.

Heavy Vote Recorded Despite cold, wet weather in most

parts of the province Monday the vote was heavy. It was expected to exceed the 1945 record of 1,765,793.

Premier Drew, who conceded Mr. Temple’s victory at 9 38 p.m. a little more than 2 1-2 hours after, the closing of polls, said his personal defeat was “very disappointing.”

But he called other results “more satisfactory” and said in a radio ad- di'ess a tew hours later that he believes his party won “wider représenta tion ” That was an apparent refer- ence to Progressive Conservative gams in Northern Ontario. They increased their standing there from one to six of the north’s 12 seats.

Ml'. Joliffe described the reduction of the Progressive Conservative majority as a “clear Indication of grow- ing disatisfaction” among the elee* tors.

Mr. Oliver’s post-election statement urged the people of Ontai'lo to support the “democratically-elected” government.

One of the Liberals elected Is H C, Nixon, former Liberal premier end dean of the legislature. He has served in eight previous legislatures, representing Brant continuously since 1919.

tang Sjne The Glengarry News

Today’s Style Proven I Of Ancient Day Origin I They call it the “new look.” But I the fashion designers, are just kid-

ding — the "new look” is at least 3,000 years old.

! According to history, the Babylo- ' nian girls of 1500 B. C. were wear-

ing several garments of which adaptations now may be seen on

I the Montmarte in Paris, on Park avenue or on Main street. I The long, tubular tunic and the tight, long skirt was the fashion 3,000 years ago, according to World Book encyclopedia. So was the high- necked gown with flowing, three- quarter length sleeves and the flar-

I ing, long skirt considered smart to- 1 day. The only difference between : then and now was that the women of : 3,000 years ago had to provide their

own hip lines. They hadn’t thought i of padding. I For further parallels of today’s j styles, the encyclopedia editor had I to ship to ancient Greece, around

550 B. C. The dress of Grecian women then resembled the evening dress of 1947, long and flowing.

Skirts were long during the Napo- j leonic period, but the trailing trains i of those times prevent any com- I parison to the new look. There is no I resemblance to today’s fashions in ! the costumes of the early Colonial j period in American history nor in j pioneer women’s fashions. , We j have to go through the “gas light”

era into the 1920s to come to any- ' thing approaching the “new look.”

Steel Production Soars I Toward Record Output

steel production in 1947 4. gives ■ promise of attaining a total of 84

million ingot tons, a record for any peacetime year, according to North- ern Trust company, Chicago. In 1946, as the result of major strikes and material shortages, the indus-

i try produced only 67 million tons. I Representing 92 per cent of capac- i ity for the full year’s production,

1947 output will be a third more , steel than was produced in 1929, 1.8 ' times the 1935-1939 average, and i may be compared with 90 million ! tons produced in wartime 1944. j Anticipated demand for such

items as automobiles, raUroad cars, pipe and tubing, heavy electrical

j equipment and construction steels i indicates a relatively high level of

steel production in 1948 for domestic I consumption, the bank reports. For- ; eign demand is also heavy, with ex-

ports now absorbing about 10 per cent of production as against a nor-

! mal prewar average of about 5 per cent of total production.

“Over the longer term, the highly cyclical characteristics of the industry may be expected to reassert themselves,” the bank says. “Out- put win continue to fluctuate closely with activity in the capital goods industries and with the demand for

I consumers’ durable goods.” j Discussing the industry’s contem- ' plated postwar expansion plans, the I bank points out that, of the overall

figure of one billion dollars in con- templated expenditures, 448 million dollars is to be disbursed in 1947.

Tlre Costs Decline as Mileage Records Gain

The average industrial worker in I America today earns 2,120 miles of

automobile tire life per hour; in 1907 his hour’s earnings would have been able to purchase only 20 miles’ worth of a tire of that era, according to National Patent council.

That is one of the discoveries made recently in analyzing the per- sistent, longderm trend of more miles for less money in tires. Even since 1939 the advance has been striking when viewed In terms of “what an hour’s work wili buy,” the study shows. A typical worker’s

..hôurly wage in that year could be translated into 822 tire miles, where- as today he can buy a tire that out- wears prewar tires for less than the prewar price — although his o-wn wage is Wgher.

Inventions, protected by patents, have increased the miles of tire service from an average of 3,500 in 1907 to 25,000 today, while they have reduced the cost to users from $35 to less than $15. When tires cost $35 the average wage was about 20 cents an hour. Now, with tires at less than half that cost, the average industrial hourly wage rate is $1.23.

Jack Pine Produced In Great Lake States

During the past 30 years, jack pine in the Great Lake states climbed from obscurity to econom- ic prominence. Once commercially unimportant, it now is used exten- sively in production ot pulpwood, box lumber, mine timbers, cabin logs, piling, poles and posts.

According to the U. S. department of forestry, the present total area of jack pine in the lake' states is slightly more than 3 million acres. Present total merchantable volume is estimated at 12 million cords. Total merchantable volume includes more than 5 million cords of pulpwood and 2 billion board feet of sawlogs. The remaining 1.668 million cords are substandard cord- wood.

The current annual growth of jack pine in the lake states is in the neighborhood of 45 million cubic feet, or about 15 cubic feet per acre per year. This is only one-third of what can be produced under favor- able conditions of stocking. Depend- ing on age and site, a fUUy stocked acre of jack pine land should grow from 25 to 85 cubic feet per annum.

Knan An exchange of House Plants ■will be

held at our next meeting. The meeting came to a close with

i the National Anthem.

Exhaust System Check A careful check of the exhaust

system when conditioning cars for winter driving will minimize dan- gers of the deadly carbon monoxide gas fumes, according to Chicago Motor club. ’This deadly gas is color- less, odorless, tasteless and can prove fatal even in small amounts. Present in the exhaust gasses of aU automobiles and produced by the incomplete combustion of gaso- line, carbon monoxide fumes may enter the driving compartment from many points. A thorough check of pistons, piston rings, exhaust pipes, ttiufiSers, exhaust manifold gaskets, exhaust pipe connections and hot air heaters should be included in the must list when winterizing cars. Ex- cessive amounts of the poisonous gas also are caused by poor ignition and faulty, carburetor adjustments. The hazards of driving a car of older vintage are increased greatly because of deterioration of these important parts.

Addicted Infants Infants born to mothers who are

morphine addicts show all the symptoms of a morphine addict whose supply suddenly has been cut off, and if not properly treated they may die of convulsions during the first week of life, according to Ameri- can Medical association. The in-

I fants are born at full term and are : apparently normal, but their addic- ^ tion matches that of their mothers. ; Separation from the maternal cir-

culation shuts off the supply of drug I to the newborn, and withdrawal

symptoms ensue within three days. I In the past, some investigators er-

roneously assumed that morphine was excreted in human milk; hence, breast-feeding by. the addicted mother was a method employed in the treatment of congenital mor- phinism. Dosage with phénobarbital brought about prompt recovery, the drug being continued for eight weeks before being tapered off and stopped.

New Uses for Rice Needed Prior to World War II, the U. S.

rice crop was about 50 million bushels annually, but in the last few years it has averaged more than 70 million bushels. South American countries also have increased their production, and a world surplus of rice may be expected In the future. In the U. S. rice is grown in Louisi- ana, Texas, Arkansas and central California. Must of the crop now is being harvested with combines, and thus is fairly high in moisture, which creates a storage problem. From the standpoint of industrial uses, three main products from rough rice may be considered; hulls, bran and polish, and milled rice. Principal industrial use of milled rice would be in the manufacture of starch. A small amount of rice starch has been made in the U. S. in recent years, but there has been very little research to improve its manufacture or increase its use.

Bee Stings for Arthritis Beekeepers have been said to

be immune to arthritis and they have been known to dispense the stings of their bees to the sick, American Medical association says. In Europe, places existed where rheumatic patients made pilgrim- ages for the sake of bee sting treat-

*ments. The natural venom of the bee contains a poisonous sub- stance similar to canthardin and a sapotoxin somewhat similar to that found in snake venom. The physi- ologic effects produced by injections of the venom of bees are said to be analogous to the effects of admin- istering histamine. Since the procedure employed by bringing about the stinging of patients by live bees is somewhat hazardous, methods of harvesting the venom have been developed. On the basis of the evi- dence available at this time, bee venom therapy cannot be recommended, says the association.

Cement Paint Recommended The finishing touch on concrete

masonry is a coat of paint that is made especially for that type of work, according to Michigan State college. Portland cement paint is sold in dry powdered form ready to mix with water. It generally is made with white Portland cement, and limeproof and sunproof mineral pigments which are ground with other materials to produce the desired colors. If desired, a paint may be made up by using equal parts of white Portland cement, very fine sand or fine agricultural limestone. Application for either commercial or homemade^ paint is the same. The

j surface to’* be painted should be i dampened before painting. Do not

apply Portland cement paint to a I dry surface.

Ups and Downs of Horses The draft horse business always

has experienced good and bad pe- riods. At one time horses dominated the city streets, six to eight hitches clopping over the cobblestones from early morning to late at night. In- vention of the reaper and the com- bine brought horses in enormous hitches to the farm. When the rail- road loomed up as motive power those who loved and valued the horses feared the speed-eating com- petitor. Instead it bound the farmer and the city consumer closer. By the time ofj World War I horses were bringing big prices, one Per- cheron stallion selling for $40,000 at a time when beef cattle were considered expensive at $25 to $40 per head. J •

CHAPTER X The niu’se disappeared -toward the

adjoining room. Kay hesitated a moment. "I’ve locked the balcony doors.” Her lovely eyes were staring. “It’s frightening not knowing who this person was!”

“Your mother wasn’t huit, was she?”

“No, but—” “Perhaps she only Imagined some-

thing.” “But why did mother scream? She

must have seen someone.” “Just to make you feel better. I’ll

have that guard, Steve, stay near the house tonight.”

She relaxed a little. “You really don't think it was anything?”

He gave Kay a quick, easy grin. “Stop worrying, child.” He pressed her arm. “I’ll be back after a bit to tuck you in bed and kiss you good night. I’m a very motherly sort of person ”

She couldn’t help smiling a bit. “You’re an unusual man, Johnny Saxon Doesn't anything ever bother you?”

“■Would you really like to know ” Color flooded her smooth cheeks.

She turned hurriedly and followed the nurse into her mother’s room.

Johnny Saxon returned along the second - floor hallway. ' He found a flight of stairs that led to the third floor. Having already been told that the servants’ quarters were above, he thought it unlikely that a prowler would allow himself to be trapped up there He wondered Why he had not seen Homer, the butler, all evening.

The light was still out in the cor- ridor that passed his room. A thought had been in Johnny’s mind since he had unexpectedly come upon the nurse in her bedroom.

This afternoon he had suspedted that she was watching his room. Could she have been there a little ■while ago?

The devil oi it was, what could Karen expect to find in his room? ■What would even take her there?

Down below him, in the gardens, there was some commotion.

Leaning over the balcony rail, Johnny recognized Mbe Martin’s voice.

Jobimy did not catch Moe’s grum- bled answer. But he heard twigs and brush crackUng “'What are you doing down there?’’ he called out.

“Johnny? Can you come down for a minute?”

“All right. But for Heaven’s sake, stop the rumpus ” Johnny thought of Irene Smith, whom Kay and the nurse were trying to get to sleep. Further agitation might aggravate the woman’s condition, and Johnny

Johnny went out the back way, circled the rear of the house and found his'partner.

Moe Martin was hanging to the Great Dane’s wide collar; the animal seemed agitated and restless, even growling slightly as Johnny ap- peared suddenly in the beam from the flashlight held in Moe’s hand.

“Okay, boy, okay,” said Johnny quickly. The dog mizzled against his hand and became friendly. Turning to the man who was with Moe Mar- tin, he said, “I’m certainly glad he’s not vicious.”

‘■They never are. Great Danes are nice overgrown, curious children.” He was a slender, medulra-buUt young man with dark eyes that seemed to magnify themselves somewhat behind thick . lensed glasses. The glow of the flashlight revealed his sharp, high - cheek - boned features. “I’m Doctor Clark Bob Clark ” He held lorth his hand “I presume you’re Johnny Saxon? I’ve heard of you ”

Johimy nodded, shook hands Moe Martin said, “The dog heal'd

something." “■With you still hanging onto

him?” Johnny noted Moe’s flushed, perspiring face.

“Naturally. I wanted to see what he was after.”

Doctor Bob Clark laughed softly. “You should have seen them. . . in and out of shrubbery, ail over the place.”

They were moving through the ' gardens beneath the balcony, “What’d he hear?” asked Johnny.

“I think it was Just a rabbit,” said Doctor Clark. “'What else?”

I Moe Martin was busy probing the gi'ound with the flashlight beam.

I Grass was dry and burnt from lack of rain The earth was hard beneath

I their feet Even with watering, flow- 'ers and plants in the garden had suffered greatly. “It’s funny,” Moe h,uttered

I “You didn't see anyone,” <Iqhnny prompted.

! Doctor Bob Clark glanced at him j “No But Would it be unusual if we I did? Anyone from the house might ■ have been wandering around. ” I “But you didn’t hear anything?” I Johnny was glancing at his partner, I Moe, though he directed the ques- tion to the young doctor.

“Wo—nothing,” said Bob Clark. Moe Martin was somewhat be-

yond the doctor Johnny saw him nod his head Johnny wondered if Moe’s headshake meant he was agreeing with Clark—or disagi'eeing.

Passing one of the extending wmgs at the rear of the house Johnny saw stoutly buUt teelUswork that reached from the ground to the balcony above. Leafy green vines of some sort covered the white-painted cross-pieces of the framework. He counted three or four of the vine- covered affairs.

It occurred to Johnny Saxon that the things could easily be used as ladders to the balcony. Perhaps the prowler had escaped this way. Michael, the dog, could have heard sounds not audible to the human ear.

They had arrived at the circular driveway in front of the mansion Moe 'Matin was mopping his fringe of

hair, “'Well,'' he said, "maybe I was wrong.” He put the flashlight in his pocket.

Doctor Bob Clark looked upward through the great spreading branches of the trees. “The sky's cloudy; we ought to be getting some rain-” He seemed fi'Iendly enough. He didn’t look like a doctor because he was not gi^a haired and scholarly. Probably he was a very excellent sawbones.

Bob Clark looked toward the house. Light from the library windows touched the driveway. "I guess Karen's not coming down again,” he told Johnny. “So I’ll run along.”

Johnny studied the doctor’s lean face in the half darkness. “How far is it to the hospital?”

“Four mUes.” “That’s a long walk." Johmiy mo-

tioned to the station wagon, parked in the dai'kness some distance beyond Doctor Clark. “'Wily don’t you ride with Nick 'Walker?’”

“For one thing it’s out of his w’ay. Besides, I keep in-shape walk- ing.”

“In hot -weather,” said Johnny, “I keep in shape drinking gin. 'Which reminds me, Walker was supposed to be fixing up a couple of drinks. Join us?”

Smiling, Bob Clark shook his head “Thanks If you see Karen, tell her I'll phofte* tomorrow. ”

Johnny nodded. He said nothing about the incident a little while ago in the nurse’s bedroom. 'TU tell her sure '■’ His glance went from the doctor's face to the station wagon beyond, then back to Bob Clark’s eyes again. “By the way, have you ever net anyone named Baj't?”

The man’s dark eyes did not change expression behind the heavy glasses He shook his head. “Karen was telling me about it,” he said “Irene thinks you’re someone named Bart.”

“That’s right ” “It's some peculiar fixation that

te in her mind In a few days it'll probably change to something else. Cases like hers are strange.” Hepaus eel's momapt, then added^ “She was a chaiming woman It’s a pity. She v/as intelligent and profound. Now, sometimes, it’s almost like convers- ing with a child. I wonder, at times, ile, she'll ever ...”

His words trailed off and he stared absently ahead. For a moment he seemed to have forgotten them com- pletely .

Then Doctor Clai'k’s manner chang ed. ‘Weil,” said he pleasantly, “I’d better get started.” He looked' at Moe and smiled. “I would not try to hold onto him the next time he thinks he sees a rabbit ”

He meant the Great Dane, Michael Moe was still firmly clinging to the dogs collar as though fearful to be alone without him.

The doctor’s figure disappeared along the drive For a moment his footsteps sounded along the gravel. Then they faded out In the breath- less, quiet night.

‘I wonder”, murmured Moe Mar- tin.

“You wonder what?” “About him” Moe nodded in the

general direction the doctor had just taken “It wasn’t very loud, of course. The dog, here, heard it and that’s why he got excited. I heard it. too. 'WSiy didn't the doc hear it?”

FIRST ROAD DIESEL IN CANADA — Canadian railway motive power entered a new phase with the delivery to th* Canadian National Railways of two triple unit, 4600 h.p. diesel electric road locomotives. These new road giants will operate Initially over Canadian National lines In freight service between Toronto and Montreal, and were offictally iaepected by R. C. 'Vaughan, C.M.G., chairman and president; N. B. Walton, C.B.E., executive vice-

jj)re8ldent; members of the board of directors and other company officers.

Several times, Johaoy had seen the glow of a cigarette over there in the darkness. He reminded himself that it might not be a bad idea to carry the police Positive, which stiU ■svas packed in his bag upstairs.

“I thought perhaps it was you,” Johnny said. ,

Steve, the guard, stood partly supported by the front fender of the station wagon “What was wrong witli the dog?” He dropped the cigarette butt and carefully ground it beneath his toe. He spoke as though he'd been watching for some time

“How long have you been standing here?” Johnny asked.

‘ Five minutes, maybe ” “You didn’t hear anything?” The solidly-built fellow eyed John-

ny. “Hear what?” “A little while ago. Something

frightened Irene Smith She was in her bedroom. I think she saw someone prowling around the balcony perch.”

“She tell you that?” “No,” said Johnny, “she didn't tell

us anything. She fainted. And when she came to, Kay says she was too upset to explain what scared her.”

“Well,” said Steve, “nobody saw nothing!” He sounded beligerent. “1 been near the house all the time Nobody’s snooping around here without me knowing it!”

Johnny decided not to make an issue out of it. So he didn’t say anything about actually seeing a figure moving in the thick shadows of the -balcony. He was curious about one thing, however.

“How do thi-ee of you fellows manage to cover this whole estate?'

“One could do it,” said the guard. He patted the holster at his hip “Just let people know you’re packing a rod, and not tell them where you’re gonna be at any one time, and they ain’t gonna take no chances ”

“Eveyone around this section knows the estate is guai'ded?”

"You’re damned right! That’s why I say I could handle the job alone But if the Smiths want to pay for three of us, that’s their headache Let some little thing happen, an' these rich bugs get jittery. You ask me, they’re wasting their money.”
