Patrol relay games were demonstrated with all the Lead- ers taking part in an arm sllni 1-glgy, The next question was; Is it wise to develop the averalfe 8111 as a Patrol Leader?

Mrs. MacDonald ,was first to speak and said .that the Patrol system is a valuable factor in Guiding and that not all girls could become Leaders. but all should be good followers.

Mrs. Dumont said that Patrol Leaders were usually drawn from the older girls. six girls were ideal for a Patrol but every girl should have a chance to be ahead- or before leaving Guides: most girls would be glad to try it. The discussions were most interesting and were conducted by all partic- ipants in a very lucid manner. The Leaders were then ..u- - d in bear Dr. O'Meara. Director of Dental Public Health. discuss the care of teeth. He emphasized the need for correct brushing which should be up for the lower and down for the upper teeth so that they were always brushed the way of growth. Candy and pop should not be indulged in between meals but fruit and milk instead encouraged. If all children ob- served this habit. said the Doctor. it would help considerably towards the prevention of decay.

,As we know, cup of the teeth is par! of the second class Guide test and also the Golden Bar Brownie Test and the information obtained from Dr. O'Meara'a talk can be conveyed to our Guides and Brownies through the Leaders. Mrs. Cudmore thanked the Doctor. Leaders then adjourned for infor- mal discussion and refreshments. Next training meeting will be held Monday next at 7.30 and Leaders should make a special effort to at- tend. There will be mother speak- er of interest.

"In a prosecution, if there evidence that within a couple hours a driver has partaken liquor (such evidence might be personal testimony or the odor of alcohol on his breath). that fact established should be taken as prima facie evidence that he "was under the influence of alcohol: and whether there are outward signs of drunkenness or not, the court, in absence of proof to the contrary. should convict the ac- cused."

Want Scientific Tests

The Federation. noting 13 con- victions in 738 Toronto cases in- volving drinking drivers. asked a criminal code amendment to pro. vide scientific tats "to determine the amount of alcohol in the bleed stream of anyone involved in I V.” y acciden . at the time of the occurrence." Police- should be givc authority and equipment to make the tests. the brief said, since a doctor is not always avail- able and the human body dig. cards alcchol rapidly.

i"The law should also specify the amount of alcohol in the blood stream that would indicate the person was under its influence." the brief said. "We suggest an al- coholic content of .06 per cent up to. 15 per cent be taken as prime I-cie evidence and that .15 per cent or more be taken as conclu- sive evidence the person is under the influence of alcohol."

The brief reminded the govern. ment that Prof. L. Joalyn Rogers, Ontarloi medico-legal expert, esti- mates iqudr is a factor in about 50 per cent of all serious motor as- cldenta. It added Roi. Rogers can be credited with "caution and Icciincy." and is constantly on luard against exaggeration.

I-lis estimate means "i.ioo can... dians were put. to death last year on 0lI' public highways because drivers of motor vehicles were more or less under the influence of alcohol," the brief said. "By the same token. more than 20,000 were iliiuled. many of them seriously and some of them permanently. An average of three violent death per day in Canada as a result of drinking and driving is surely I0m0i-hind to make the govern- ment and the parliament of Can- ada take notice."

Canada's all-time record drink bill 0! 8”0.000.000. represents ap- Droximately I18 per capits squan- dered on alcoholic beverages.-

The regular Saturday night dance at the "Y" was somewhat unusual last week. At last the gang got together and made good use of the famous old-time music of the Don Messer orchestra, in a fine barn dance setting. The atmosphere was .sufficiently scented from bales of straw upon which the crowd sat between dances, and oc:asional bits of harness and an odd lantern added to the general effcct. High- light of the evening was the old- time set in which squares crmvded the -floor to "Duck the Oyster." The dance arrangements were made by the Delta Hi-Y Club.

Marked Revival Noted in Sheep Breeding Industry

"The sheep industry of Prince Edward Island is undergoing a cor- siderable revival". stated Mr. W. R. Shaw, "Deputy Minister of Agricul- ture. at the annual meeting of the Sheep Breeders Association yester- day. "Flccks have been extended and new flocks have been estab- lished and the total sheep popula- tion has gone up. according to our estimates. by approximately 5.000 head during the past season." There are a num' of r asons, of course. for this change in sentiment - fav- ourable prices for lamb and mutton. the high price of wool -- but more particularly, possibly. the element of labour, has directed attention to sheep raising.

"The objection to the long, ted- ious detailed proccsses of livestock feeding, particularly associated with dairying. has directed attention to the lesser detail needed in sheep industry. The arguments of reserve- tion of valuable land for potato production, the general expense in fencing, and depredation as dogs has weakened in the light of the recognition of the value of sheep in the farm economy.

"After the full value of sheep raising has been properly assesell. I should not be surprised to see a large number of flocks of sheep established on farms all over Prince Edward Island, within the next few years. .

Mn rket Prospects

"If this development takes place there should be El. splendid market for breeding ewes and rams of suit- able typc. The sale of rams itself should be from one to two thous- and annually. if an expansion as indicated, takes place. According to our present statistics, over a thous- and rams are in use on Prince Ed- ward Island. The possibilities for the breeder of good animals are in- deed great.

The situation also indicated the need for expert direction in our breeding policies and the Directors of this Asociation should be in a position to suggest constructive policies covering our activities for the next few years.

"Are we to go along using breed- ing units that lack standards and efficiency or should we take a very strong stand in weeding out infer- ior ewes from our flocks and dis- posing of these during this period when meat prices are high?

"On the other hand, what is to be the suggestion of the Depart- ments of Agriculture and the Breed Association on the extension of breeds and crosses and the methods of handling this program to be initiated as a general prin- cipal governing constructive and economically sound breeding prac- tices?

"In my survey on conditions in Scotland, I find that a. very defin- ite procedurc takes place which is more or less uniform throughout the whole country. Black-faced Highland sheep are used, as vigour and hardiness are chara teristics of of this breed. A Leices er ram is crossed and the result of this cross is then carried as foundation ewes and either a North Country Cheviot or in Dorset Down is usually utilized. Strange to say the latter breed seems to be giving the best results. I saw lambs that at four months weighed up to 160 pounds, from these crosses, and they seem to be finished at almost any weight. I am not advocating this cross as a definite standard to be followed in this province but I feel we should be very sure regarding the work to be undertaken here before deciding on what is the best cross for ord- inary grade commercial flocks.

North County Chevlots

"We hnve new North Country Cheviots in this Province and our basic flocks are Shropshire or Ox- ford Down crosses. It may be nec- essary that experiments be con- ducted to ascertain the value of any breeding program. In this con- nection I would like to see a flock of sheep established at our Exper- imental Farm where accurate rec- ords on breeding results might be secured and made available to our

sheep breeders. -

"In any event our financial state- ment gives aome information on the importation of twenty-four sheariing ewes of the North Couli- try Cheviot breed. These have been distrbuted to a. number of breeders and I sincerely hope that me breeders in whose hands these sheep have been placed will fully nscertain all information available before proceeding in the use of the off-spring and their disposal.

"The sheep importer were. to my mind, splendid representatives of this breed as I saw them at the shows in Scotland and England. They are hardy, good mothers and it is generally considered, a flock who breeds from ill-2 lambs on the average.

We are having quite I. widespread interest in this breed by flock own- ers in the province and inquiries for a further importation. The grant of 1750.00 from the Depart- ment of Agriculture and a lesser amount by the Prince Edward Is- land Sheep Breeders Association made this importation possible.

"The time has now arrived when breeders should set aside a week for the treatment of sheep for in- ternal and external parasites. Noth- ing can reduce profits in any form of livestock as rapidly as parasitic infestation. At shearing time part- icularly, evcry farmer hould meat for ticks and lice and this is poss- ible with facilities available on ev- ery farm. The use of phenothyazine pills has been encouraged through a subsidy but I believe the time has arrived when the Sheep Breed- ers' Association, through some des- ignated agencies, should have ready for distribution in all parts of Prince Edward Island, this mat- erial fcr the treatment of internal parasites. Full publicity in this re- spect. should be undertaken.

Ram Premium Policy

"The Ram Premium Policy was conducted as in former years and only ramsswere graded. It is en- couraging to note that the demand for rams remains keen. Prices were maintained at very satisfactory levels. but in view of present coin- mercial levels, an adjustment in the cost of registered animals seems necessary. The marketing of lambs on rail grade standards has not de- veloped as rapidly as desired. Sometimes I wonder whether the bonus that is being paid by the De- partment of Agriculture. an amount of 600 and -foo for the two bonus grades. is serving the purpose orig- inally intended for it.

"I am convinced that it the Sh'.'E;i industry is to be built on a strong vigorous basis in this province that lamb grading should be made a compulsory feature and be estab-

lished on the same basis as that for hogs. The wool off the sheep is graded at the present time and it has done much to stabilize prices. why not carry it right through to lambs?

"There is only one person suf- fering by our present system of marketing of lambs and that is the man who is producing them. There is no incentive to produce a high- class, vigorous quality product. The person who has the poor scrubby lamb under the present setup re- ceives the same recognition as the breeder who puts full care on the production of an excellent animal. Further consideration should be given to our lamb marketing tech- niques.

Price of Wool

"The price of wool has advanced very rapidly and there are one or two matters in relation to market- ing that I would like to bring to the attention of the meeting. At the time wool was shipped to the Grad- ing Station last year wool was be- ing purchased on Prince Edward Island for from 30-32c a pound and large quantities were picked up for this price. The price you received from the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers as you will notice, ranged up to 50 cts. per pound.

After the wool was marketed through the Co-operative. prices went up still further and as a mat-
