Legislation protecting the tree and carefully regu- lating the methods of harvesting. Methods of growing the Cascara tree in plantations are being studied.

Digitalis, Belladonna and Hcnbzine are other drugs important in wartime. There appears to be adequate supplies of the common Foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, available, but there is a con- sidcrablc demand for another species, Digitalis Lanata. Seed supplies of this, as wcll as of Bella- donna and Henbane, are very scarce and steps have been taken to increase the amount of seed available as rapidly as possible.

Ergot is a drug obtained from a fungus which grows as a parasite on rye and other grains and grasses, The amount of infested rye varies from year to year with weather conditions, Labour costs have largely prevented Canadian crgot be» ing collected and offered for sale. Experiments are being conducted to determine whether ergut may be economically produced under controlled conditions.

In addition to the work ori these few drug plants, important for wartime uses, many others are being grown experimentally and particular emphasis is being placed on the search for strains or varieties with higher drug potencics.

The general public should be warned, urged Dr Semi, that the growing and harvesting of drug plants is usually a difficult undertaking requir- ing great care and technical skill if the product is to be 0f any value. Although prices of some products may now be high the beginner cannot usually hope to receive large financial profits.

It was an appeal to every man and woman to realize that this is cveryb0dy'5 war, that the maximum effort cannot be achieved un- til evcry individual in Canada finds his place in the wartime scheme of things, and is not con- tent until he is rendering everything possible with the one aim of helping to win the war.

According to ‘a report to the Department of Trade and Commerce by R. P. Bower, Acting Canadian Trade Commissioner at Newfound- land, the Commission of Government in that Dominion has been considering for sometime the question of restricting the sale 0f spirits in New- foundland “botli to conserve present stocks of rum, whisky, brandy, and other spirits, and to reduce demands for shipping space." The scheme, he says, will not at present apply to alcoholic beverages other than spirits. Be- ginning l-higust 10, I942, a. new form of permit was brought irito exclusive use. This permit will allow not more than three bottles of spirits to be bought at a specified store of the Board of Liquor Control at St. John's or Corner Brook by or for any one purchascfin any one week. Until the new permit forms are issued, the various stores of the Liquor Control Board will rcfusc to sell to any one person more than three botflcs of spirits in any one week, though this action will have tn he taken on existing permits. New permits, which will cost 50c each, went on sale in St. John's and Corner Brook on july 2o, r042.

Rev’d John Flshpool remafneo but a year at Trson exchanging Pastor-ates in .1818 \~;l‘.h Rev John B. Strong of Charlottetown who also stayed just a year, and was succeeded by Rev. ueo Miller, iii whosq pastorate s. long trust deed was drawn up witness that "con- sideration of five shllfngs John lard of Tryon River did grant to twelve trustees a certain parcel 91 ground us a site for a chapel house, called Tryflll chapel, which had been erected for the use of preach- ers who may be members of Meth- odist Confrence." It was document which would requlie two or three columns to quote in full,

John Lord. son of the first. man of that name who had come to Tryon one who had come to Tryon in 1773. held liLs lands under one of Hollands’ nine hundred arid ninety nine year leases. drawn ln 1794, which described his land as bounded on the from. by the river, on south by lands ocminied by Nathaniel Wright (Smith farm tn 1942) and on the north by the Kins’: High Road, and by lands demfsed to and occupied by William Warren, containing in all three hundred acres for which he bound himself to pay slx pence per acre. and it; was agreed if rents went llllllafd too long Holland might re- possess.

Accordingly the first main mist; placed on the Methodist tnistees was “to observe and perform several covenants and arzieements 0f’ said lens-e as regards the premises here- by assigned"; in other words to pav the rent on the chapel pro- PBTLV. bounded as follows: "com- mencing at. a large stone olaoed 1n front and on the east side of the l-figh Road on East Side of 'I‘ryon iivcr running along said road 210 fret thenzy- east 210 feer, thence north 210 feet. thence west. to plat- of beginning.” This would be a ffthle over one acre in extent, and so the trustees were committed to bay the Hollands slx pence oer annum. rent for the church land.

Incidentally we d0 not know whether th's rent. was ever collect- ed. Ma 1e Josepha. (vrldow of sur. veyor Holland), who was living 1n TPYOH at this time was a Roman Catholic but she would not insist cn a Melhcdist slxnence, as her descend-cuts Iikwvise never requested them nearly Methodlst dime. because the trustees never secured a release of the covenants agreed to fn_ this 1819 lndentu-e, 1t; was, and still f5 the right of the landlord, thezr heirs executors iind ad- ministrators, to demand the mnra} ‘"1" 0f 51X Dene-e Halifax currencv 1O" each find every year 1111 2am AD, when the 999 year lease uni GXYIEPG. -
