'nMriv NOTES ON rut tones The Hudson's Bay Company fur auction in New York ended on a very strong note with turnover in ailcolorphaaesof90perceotor av:-. one ot the most surprlllnsly strong items was a collection of 10.016 Diadern mink which was 03 per cent sold at what was describ- ed as "very firm prices." some ll.tll0 dressed Argenta standards was 95 per cent sold with females up 5 per cent and males firm. Ap proximately 4.988 Cerulean stew- arts were 90 per cent sold at an advance of to per cent. Argenta females prices showed strong. pro- hably up about I per cent. A col- lection of 58.761 miscellaneous mu- tations were moved at a 96 PSI” cent clip. Very strong competition was reported on these. The corri- pany considered the sale most successful with attendance excel- lent and competition strong throughout. Here are some of the top pric- E tiiggls ; 3t'ilE' iiirlsri that with not too many major sales left this season buyers were not in a waiting mood. with most fall lines scheduled to be ready some time in June they did not feel: they could put off getting some of, the goods that they need for fall! business. Another factor was that' Europe bought quite a number of pelts. mostly Ceruleans. Europe Is willing to go higher than local buy- ers for goods they want.

I know today if we were to take a vote of the farmers here. we would find very few completely satisfied with things as they are. In the first place the price of oduce is not satisfactory or at east is not stable, possibly fair at times but much of the time too low. '!'.ie dealer co-operatives usually come in for their share of the blame. Officials of agricultural a- gencies are also blamed for not being able to see these condi- tions before they happen. The Gov- ernment too gets a few black looks For the defence of the health ot the young especially. all nations are busy studying the care and cause of polio. cancer. tuberculosis and other things that menace the welfare of people. 2. Does modern science bring to light facts and forces that are contrary to the beliefs and cus- toms of the past? Yes science may be called the lie detector in many fields of ac- cepted information. Let us turn this lie detector upon the tatunent made by many "a drink of liquor niakes a man warmer who has been exposed to col ." tat Granted the man declares he feels warmer. Why does he feel warmer? Alcoholic drinks make a men feel warmer because the alcohol passing into the blood causes the little blood vessels in the skin to become larger so that more blood comes to the surface of the body and this warms the nerve end- ings of the skin. But the heat leaves the body through the warmed skin and the thcrometer shows that the t ature of the inside of the body is usually lowered in a man who has been drinking. tbl Why is not the person can- scious of this lowxed ternptature of the inside of the body? Because there are not as many nerve end- ings inside the body as there are in the skin. It is acientilicdiy pmven that though a man feels warmed by an alcoholic drink. the tamperatia-e of his body is actudly lowered. I. Why did Nansen refuse to tabs any alcohol with him in his Arctic explorations? The last thing that an explorer can afford to lose or allow to as- ca-pe is heat. Ncisen refused to have one drop of any intoxicating beverage on his ship because "alcohol disturbs the delicate mechanism which regu- lates the heat of the body." and regions ban alcoholic beverages? Sir. T. E. David. F.R.S. said. "We never used alcohol in any sledding expeditions in the Antare- tlc durlss oishtees inontns. some- times a glass of wine was allowed on the birthday of one of the crew. It was noticed afterward that resistance to cold was temporarily lowered. and shivestng would be enced. ties Medal and i ii itiinii. i 7.. "We can tiierefnre summarize es that dangerous and deceptive warm feeling but. . . . alcohol does not produce any increase of intern- al heat. FROM TIDINGS. the action of alcohol. First it caus-i ity program; supporting the agen- cies that already exist and do a better job of organising new ones. While this is going on we must keep the young farmers informed in the things that affect them. We must enlarge so that we are work- ing in area groups so that we are lworking with farm groups in oth- er communities. Following this we must pull our area groups togeth- er in a provincial organization. Cer- tainly he should not stop liere we should work on a Magitime basis. and eventually reach from shore to shore. mutually working for the solution of our problems. QUESTION OF INTEREST in What about putting these plans into action. Continuing. it might be said we have a provin- ciai and federal setup to help the farmers already. I area we have on a small scale all these agen- cics. but the question is. how many ifarmers are Interested and partic- pating? I am certain the answer is. very few. We are calling on all of you as never before In get busy on lint I inn-in as ms. lo nines dhiienda on our interest or our lack of it.

SPIRITUAL ASPECT Regardless of creed. I ask you. how can we really know the one who said. ''In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethern. you have done it unto me." unless you are acquain- ted with your mutual problems and are working with your neigh- bour to solve them. some will say. you are mixing the social and the economic with the spiritual. True. did not our Lord cause the 5.000 to be fed and did he not show some of his dis- ciples how to catch fish before he made them fishers of men. These three are inseparable. Communism is succeeding every day in nations when children are hungry. Let us not let it happen ere. Rat Population Equals Human Among the things that nobody knows. is how many rats there are in the world. But it has often been assumed that the number is at least equal to the human popu- lstion. Canada has a population of 1: million. which means there are probably a similar number of these rodents acting as destroyers of food and property. and present- log a serious problem to public health authorities across the Do- ininlon.
