Apples Shipped | To New York City VBRNON.—Strange to say, De licioiis and Mcintosh apples are being moved both out ol thoOkanagan valley and from eastern storages to the New York market. The difference In the rate of exchange is Just abut sufficient to pay the duty and although tlie Un.ted Statas apple growers had a tremendous crop which was sold at low prices, Canadian apples are getting a play. Onion prices, which have been spectacular, are st.H high, but the range of fluctuations is less marked. A car was recently moved to Minneapolis at a price which pleased the sales agency. Were are now about sufficient an ons in Canada to supply the Canadian market, and the movement is slow and probably will be still si-vwer j as the last cars go out. A frost in Texas helped Canadians to sell domestic stocks. Market gardeners are bus" ou all tlie bonch lands, and considering the backwaiidness of the spring, there is a faid acreuge, with mo;\> going in every day.

Radium, gold, silver, base mettle »"d even oil are all to be found - Ihe vicinity of Great Bear lake, T)r Cameron told his audience. filhe speaker revealed Ihat preliminary exploration had revealed 8000 tens f pltchblendo at Oreat Boar lake containing probably 200 grams of radium. "The entire output of radium Is the world, up to the present, hag only been GOO grams, s0 that the Oreat Hear lake dep ists may considerably Increase the world's supply of this valuable metal,'' Dr. Cameron saW. As the process of producing rad- huge quail ities of chemicals derived from salt. Dr. Cameron forecast that the great salt deposits at Fort Mc- Murray might be put to a very useful purpose by virtue of the estalv I'shment of u radium plant at that community. f Silver values recovered at Oreat Bear lake were staggering to the Imagination, Dr. Cameron deefcred. The famous silver depos.ta which created the activity at Cobalt, Ontario, only covere/1 four square miles The silver deposits at Groat Bear lake covers 70 square, m.les—enough to make many Cobalts. Gold values had been revealed st Great Hear Lake assaying |2'a!.50 to the ton, Dr, Cameron said. This, he said, was a remarkable showing when it was taken into consideration 'hat. the silver ore from the famous t'Hollinger mine only assayed 810 to the ton. Copper was also to be found ul GGreat Bear lake in large quunll- t-es, Dr. Cameron said, but in view of the low price obtainable for this bsae metal he did not believe cop- ,per mining woul^ be profitable at less thun a price of 18 t 20 cents a pound at Great Bear lake. '"lfiiere Is little doubt that ln tbe near future one of Canada's greatest metallic mineral fleldrs will come Into active productiom. and this in spite or the very great handicaps f practically no transportation to the markets for these minerals," Dr. Cameron declared. Asserting that o.l would play a large part In this mineral development, Dr. Dr. Camer n declared that there were excellent chances of obtaining In certa.n sections near Great Bear lake. "Taken as a whole the large areas lying east of the MacKeozio rlvajr valley are so situated w.th respect tu the crustural disturbances further west that there should be suitable oil structures at a number of places," he said. "Drilling depths sh uld not be great, perhaps a maximum of 8000 feet Mining development at Great Bear lake will undoubtedly pro duco a renewed interest in the petroleum posesibilltles and the two Bhould g together in the economic levelopment of those hitherto undeveloped portions f Canada." Dr. Cameron said that further drilling ,n tho Fort Norman area, already tested by Imperial Oil Limited, would pr bably result ,n the locating of the oil pools. The discovery awell, lie said, started as a real gusher cf high grade paraffin base oil, but cav.ng at the bottom shut off the supply. The discovery well was deepened to 861 feet and a 60 or 70 barrel well developed, A second well yielded similar results.

M.D. ASSOCIATE SECRETARY MIDDLE AGE HITCHING up friend husband to u a mule, Mrs. T. Humphries carried on the work of the farm so successfully tha paid oil the taxes she owed. A field agent of the department of agriculture is authority for the assertion that "this is not fiction but happened at Juniper. Georgia, in 1931." There are certain bodily changes which come with age. Just as it is true that thee child is not a little man, so it is equally true that, at middle age, the body is not the same as it was during tlie period of youth. It comes as an unpleasant surprise to many persons when they realize that the years are passing and that that they are growing olid. That truth Is driven home to them, however, when they flrst appreciate that their body Is no longer able to do with ease those things which lt used to do readily and w.thout effort. The Infant has to adjust himself to a new environment; the child re- ■|ulruH adjustment to school, nnd the in',4dle-aged, ,f they are to keep well, must adjust their lives to their changed bodies. IJiere ls no definite b.rtllday which ushers us Into middle age. It ls not the number of years we have lived, but rather the actual condition of our bodies which Is the index to our real age. It has been truly said that a man is as old as Ills plow for want 0f'arteries, and when heart and OCCASIONS WHEN TIME IS HANDY Time sS un excuse for such things as clocks and watches. It also serves as a useful means of distinguishing winter from summer when the weather falls down on the job, and one day from another when outstanding events are absent, such as the birth of a child or having one's hair washed or waffles for breakfast. Time .s either correct or incorrect Correct time is found in railway stations. It is very important to railways, says the Baltimore Evening Sun, for otherwise the railway people would not be able to tell passengers how late the trains are. Incorrect time, is the sort indicated by the clock on the mantel that ought to be given a thoroughly overhauled, but it Is so much trouble to lug it to the repair shop. Time is also very valuable in determining when thjngs happen und therby indicating the uature of the occur- ance. Thus, for example, if a friend is smashed up iu a motor car accident at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the causo may be laid to one of those irresponsible truck drivere But :f it happens "early today," then the first question Is, what sort of a party he has been to. And if it were not for time it would be impossible for the office manager to warn Miss Smith that she has been a little careless recently about when she comes into the office, and to remember that there are plenty of capable young women arter ies have undergone the changes associated w,th middle age, then that person is mtddle-uged, no matter what hiB next birthday may be num erically speaking. To meet these bodily changes and to contineul a useful, happy life, lt is necessary that life, in all its aspects, be moderated. Moderation n all tilings should be the guiding principle. The middle-aged require less food and they should eat less. Their exercise should be regular and moderate. There should not be any sudden physical strains, such as a dash for a tram-car. Exercise should always stop short of fatigue. The siul- rlen strain and the continued over- Hlruiu lead to disaster. The older body Is not able to meet the sudden or excessive demand, and the penally paid when this Is forgotten Is often a severe one. Throughout life, rest Is the healing rehabilitating power of nuture. A (night's rest is required at nil agio. and as we become older, rest becomes even more essentia! to health. The mrldle-iiged should make sure I of long hours of sleep each nlght^sn that the morning will find them refreshed. Thc mental life must also be moTi erated, Life should not ho continued at high pressure, but taken in a moderate, easy way. It is sullicient tu do every day what time permits; the task can be done deliberately, and I tomorrow's work and worries allows I eid to takes care of themselves. If each Individual] would live within his limitations und not demand of hls body services which it cannot give readily because of its altered condition,, life would be happier and more useful.

Cities, after all, are not alien growths, only little bits of the country that have increased much faster than tlie rest J. P. .Morgan, like his famous lather, learned that time is money and refused to waste much of it on interviews. On one occasion, however, after an important trip to Europe, he consented to g.ve a reporter a private interview In his cabin before the ship docked. The reporter was on hand, but unfortunately so were two or three dozen more and the financier fled to his cab.n and locked the door behind him. But the reporter was persistent He wrote out a list of quest.oiia and shoved them under the door. Then he sat down and waited, ln due course, the list of questions was shoved oul a,,a t0 tllu reporter's gratified amazement, all the questions wore carefully answered and Mr. Morgan had added certain news whloh was of even more vital interest to the financial world. But the real kick of the interview was the lme across the bottom "Don't tell anyone how you got this; I don't want to get a backache picking up letters from the Hour." in casual conversation about people's faults, every gun is likely 1o be loaded. Be careful. Other important classes of time are good times and bal times. Good times are when prices are high and everybody gets liberal salaries, running as high as $50 a week, which they spend because it costs so much to live; while bad times are when prices are low and people have to be contnt wsth $30 a week, which buys what $60 did, before. Then time is valuble to people who are entertaining, for if they invite guests for 7 pjm. the can usually count upon the guests arriving at least before 8 p.m. Time also is valuable in bringing thugs to a close. If there were no time it would be possible to go on writing like this forever, ,nsteud of calling a halt and rushing home for dinner. ANCIENT HISTORY LIFE IN GRAND FOBK8 TWENT. YEARS AGO Hubert Scott's new store building opposite the C.P.R. stat.on has be n completed. Airs. A. Birnie of Vernon is visiting at the home ot her daughter, Mrs. B. Al. Kerby. Mr. Flood of Greenwood has r nte|d the store in the rear of the Dav.n block and will open a meat market alhtout the 1st of June. For many years white men have been puzzled by the Uncanny way in which the Australian abor.gines can communicate with one another over long distances w.tlioul any apparent means, 'liliis lias .Lioen known as bush telegraph.' An explanation has just been given by David Unaipon, an educated Australian aborigine. Uusli telegraphy, he expla.ned, was developed by an intense form ol discipline started in youth, by which the young aborig.nc loams to detach h.mself from bis surroundings. First lie is taught to eat only when Ills body needs nourishment, and then to fust. Tlie supreme test of lusting for a body is that he should walk for three days without food, and then on the fourth day cut. ono day's rut.ons. When it is desired to communicate with another aborigine at a distance n smoke s glial is made hy a man who concentrate- m the message lie wishes to send. The recipient of the message also frees bis mind from all outside Influences to receive the telegraphic message. "Ono morning," e;s- Una.pon, "I was silling in Sydney and trying'lo write, when a message came io me Unit my wife in Soutii Australia was dead. Next ,'lny a telegram came to tell me what I already knew. I learned ufterwurds that my wife's mother bad sent the original message to me by the bush tele Traph.'c method." fjlie Moth r Lode mine was the scene of another great blast on .Monday. There were 2200 holes loaded with ten tons cf dynamite and discharged by an lectrlc wife. The explosion was a complete success. This mine is estbllsbr- ing a great reputation for blasting. Last Octob r eleven tons of powder were used in one blast, which gives Greenwood th world's record In that department of mining. Mistress—The last maid I had was too fond of policemen, Mary.

Varnished Floors Rub varnished floors about once a week with a woollen cloth, wet in a solution of one part linseed oil and one part turpentine. ThiB is also excellent for linoleums. Burn the rags to prevent fires. —o— Washing Electric Bulbs Care should be taken to wet only the glass part when washing electric light bulbs. Water left in the metal section is liable to cause a short circuit. —o— Sewing . When basting sewing material, try placing the knots of the thread on the right side. They will be easier to pull out when the garment is finished.

The measure provides that before a verdict Is pronounced the jury shall consult with the court concerning the punishment to be inflicted. It is generally admitted that some change of the kind was necessary tn prevent the jury system from being reduced to sheer absurdity. Juries have acquitted people Who, on their own confession, were guilty of most serious cr.mes, simply because the jurymen feared that a verdict of guilty might result ln a heavier punisliment than the were prepared to inflict. lute light for this reform has been proceeding since 1921. when M.

Mr. Kn'okerbocket, Pulitzer pr'zo Winner for 1980' tir the best new.-pa- per report'ng of the year, writes of "The Russian Nudists" and contrasts Iho highly orean'zed Nscht Kultur of Oormany with the some movement m rr.iss a. Iu Germany the nudist disciples attack their task of spreading the goo- pel of nudity w th evangelical but sell larly fervor while many nudist magazines are on the newsstands. In Russia there is no organisation, preaching or eaching, the whole matter of nudity being taken as a "matter of course," declares the wrter. He describes a gathering of 2500 intent spectators in a Ilerlln hall, Invtej guests with the police outside to guard the assembly; a stage on which a nude ballet of 20 men and 20 women, aged 18 to 50, bow and march in mass evolutions; a lecturer in a frock coat, extolling the emancipation of the human body. In contrast to the peduntic attitude of the Ijeuton is the "take-;t-for- granted" atOtwle of the Russian. On. the sandy flats of the Moscow rivor, across from the cllffside summer houses, cafes and - open-air restaurants, the nudists carry on "a combined track meet, mass picnic and circus." A timrd young man appears from behind some bushes in a bathing suit. He Imnied.ately becomes the focus of jeering children unl elders and he ducks back again behind the shrubbery. When he reappears stark naked he attracts no attention whatever and goes down for bis swim. The original "Down With Shame Society" used to cause traffic trouble w.th their nude parades on Moscow strenets. The Council of Peoples' Commissars referred the matter to the Commissariat of Health, which thankeid Down With Shame society for their initiative in calling the attention cf the populace to the value of light air and sunshine; but proclaimed that owing to dust and bacteria in the city streets it would be better—In fact, imperative—to seek sunshine on the outskirts of the city and along the river banks. o New Found Neutron Taxes Imagination TORONTO.—If you have a good imagination try to imagine what the newly discovered neutron, a part of an atom and of great great importance to science, looks like. Prof Lachrian Gil Christ of the physics department of the University of Toronto told the Royal Astronmi- cal society here its weigth is represented by the 540th part of a million- million-millionth part of a gramme, and a gramme is about 2600th part of an ounce. Professor Gilchrist described the neutron, discovered in Oermany six months ago and idiscovered at Cambridge, England, a few weeks back, as a combination of the electron and proton of the atom—or negative and positive parts, aeutrallzing each other, but being able to produce the phenomena of a wave of light, although attributed to a particle, not a wave. o Raisin Vinegar Afte r making raisin wine, raisin vinegar can be made by laying tho pressed raisins in a heap and heat; then to eoch 66 pounds add five gallons of water and a little yeast. o A traveling man's coat and trunk alike when checked. ! -,•111'. majority of Canadians ;j probably do not realise i i Sh what u wonderful choice £*-_! of vacation opportunities '■'.; •' this country oners. How 'j' ; many of us in any one .•'..•J province have first-hand knowledge of the wide range of attractions of our neighbouring provinces? Many no doubt have gone abroad lo seek a holiday, forgetting thai our own Dominion is unequalled in the exceptional variety und range of its recreational resources. Surely a country which attracts visitors from other countries by the tens of millions must have recreational features of interest to it« own citizens Recreational Areas Easily Accessible It is so easy to travel in Canada tli.it an interprovineial tour is a recreation which every Canadian vacationist may well and profitably undertake. Ail tlie developed and much of the undeveloped part of the Dominion is easily accessible by train, boat, or automobile. Canada is served by two of thc world's greatest railway systems and a number of smaller lines. The equipment and service are of the highest standard. Steamers built specially for pleasure cruising afford many pleasant trips along'lhe coast and on the extensive inland water system of lakes, rivers and canals. A erui.se from the head of the Great Lakes to the Maritime Provinces is nearly equal, in distance, to an ocean voyage. Good roads lead to practically all scenic and sporting territories. Canada's road system includes many thousands of miles oi surfaced highways, well equipped with direction signs and danger signals. Tourist accommodation, from campsite to hotel, is available almost everywhere. National Parks Cover ., Large Area National and provincial parks ill Canada cover nearly 25,000 square miles. They are areas which have been withdrawn from exploitation and arc being preserved in their virgin beauty and wildness, for purposes of pleasure and recreation. Tlie largest national parks arc in thc Rocky Mountains section of Alberta, a region of unsurpassed scenic splendour admirably equipped by nature for all forms of sport and recreation. There are also important parks in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Accommodation ranees all the way from large modern hotels, tc log cabins and tents. Fishing is one of liie chief attractions in tlie parks, bill game auiiu.il.s and birds are rigidly protected and their foar- lessnesfl never fails to interest visitors. Summer Resorts Numerous and Varied Throughout the Dominion there are many summer resort districts whicli oner a wide range of attraction and variety of accommodation. On the Atlantic coast, in the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, are typical sea-shore resorts, where salt-water bathing, sailing and deep sea fishing are the principal attractions. The rugged beauty of this coast and the picturesque charm of the fislduji villages, at the head of every inlet, cannot fail In enchant tlie summer visitor. Quebec's summer playgrounds are of the most varied nature including as they do, scfi-shore, mountain, lake and forest resorts, Along thc lower St. Lawrence, summer colonies have been established at many points. North of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers the Laurentian mountains, clot-hod with pine forest and dotted with lakes constitute a vast summer and winter playground. Tlie Eastern Townships, which adjoin the international boundary, also have a number of well-established resonts, on picturesque lakes and rivers. Ontario has perhaps the largest number and greatest variety of developed summer resorts of any of the provinces. The Thousand Islands, Lake ol Bays, Muskoka lakes, and Georgian bay arc known throughout America," but there are in addition equally attractive, only slightly less known, districts. Ao- commodation includes everything from campsite to palatial hotel, and cottages may be related, in say district. In the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta many attractive resorts are located aloag the shores of the lakes anil rivers. Thc Canadian Rockies are world famous for scenic beauty and eon- tain some of the most highly At- veloped tourist resorts on the continent. British Columbia, with varied and splendid scenic attractions, is a taDur- ist wonderland. The province has majestic mountain ranges, and extensive lake area, stately forests, aa imposing coast lino, and many attractive resorts in settings of exceptional natural beauty. Government Bureau Free Information Service For a number of years the Department of the Interior at Ottawa has been engaged in the promotion of the Canadian tourist industry, more especially the development of tourist travel from the Unitrcl States to Canada. It is also endeavouring to influence Canadian! to spend their vacation in th« Dominion. The National Development Bureau of that Department will gladly furnish interprovineial road maps and other information for thc use of those planning a Canadian tour, and where necessary will refer enquiries to provincial and local tourist organizations. Applicants should lap as specific at possible as to tbe section of Cauasli in which they are interested, in order that available information 1 may be supplied.

Tbey wanted to i;et things done, and something else started, very mucii ,n tlie manner that so man; people ido nowabays. Farther- more, then as now, there were a good many things that had to be done In a hurry, and somebody had to do them, just as there are now. In spite ol such warnings us 'tlie more baste, Uie less speed.' Nevertheless I must agree that there is now, as there doubtless always has been, uot only too much-hurry, but that a good deal of It is the wrong kliipl, and is consequently extremely trying on the nerves. "Back In the old borse-and-bugffy days—a phrase that ls now seldom used ejeept for ihe purpose of scornful comparison—there was an expression 'pushing on tho re.ns' that was ften used in criticizing nervous) baste. It couldn't be termed backseat dr-Ving, though It probably applied mot frequently to the back scat, because even til3 driver might be so affected. It implied, of course, e:i oagerness to leuch the end of the drive, und u de.sire 11 increase the i'peed of the veil cle. 'Pushing on the reins' accomplished nothing, to be sure; .t was not even a relief to the or. otions of the pusher; and had only the effect if still further wrecking such tranqu.lity as woul have made the journey easier. "Now, it seems to me that the trouble with a good many of us is that wo are still 'pushing on the reins'; that is, we are hurry,ng with our nerves, which in the nature of things can achieve no good, instearf of hurrying w.th our muscles, which ir; bound to take u.s somewhere, though what is accomplishes is a question of direction. Hurry,ng witit our muscles will make us muscularly tired, which seldom does any harm, and may do some good by inducing the relaxat on of sound sleep; but hurrying with our nerves seldom does anything other than harm, and instead of sound sleep is likely to cause insomnia, than wli.ch nothing ls a greater bore. "If any worthwhile deduction is to be reached from personal experience with both kinds ol hurry, It most undoubtedly is that we should do all our hurrying with our muscles; but I'll have to admitt that lt will take quite a b'.t of doing for everybody except those tranquil—and enviable —souls to whom It comes natural. Most of us are incited to hurry merely by our nerves, and it is pretty d.f- flcult to install a new and improved set of nerves.

(Billy) Chester, of Winnipeg, retired after twenty- five years service as general chairman of the Canadian Pacific section of the Order of Railway Conductors, something of the character that had won him the esteem of not only the men for whom he acted as chief spokesman, but of the company with which he negotiated was revealed by Grant Hall, senior vice- president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, when he said: "I have been associated with Mr. Chester for many yearB. Never once has he broken his word. Wc often differed in our viewB, but I always knew that when he told me something, he at least was sincerely convinced that it was right." Speak to the conductors whom he represented so well for a quarter of a century and one learns that "Billy" Chester was "a square shooter," than which in the ranks of his kind there is no prouder title. Chester is sparing ol words and always has been. Throughout his career as head of his order he has maintained the balance of a keen loyalty both to his men and to tbe Canadian Pacific Railway, with a realization that discipline was as important for the protection of the former as the latter. He knew how to be firm when what he thought were the rights of his men were at stake, without creating ill-feeling in the minds of company officials with whom he might be negotiating. This is what Chester himself has to say of these relationships: "My relations with the members of the organization and with the general officers of the company have been most friendly and satisfactory and the boys on the road have always given me a fair break. I have had the same treatment irom the company's officials. I have tried to reciprocate." Mr. Chester began railroading away back in. 1881, and had 25 years with the Company before entering the service of his Order. -o- Had to Know Mother was growing tired of answering Junior's numerous questions.
