ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION Authorized as Second Class Mail by the Post Office Department, Ottawa In Same Category Commissioner Herb Gardner, who joined us a couple of weeks ago in tilting with the Public Works Department over the condition of the Horsefly Road, has some homework to catch up with himself in regard to the village streets. These lines of communication are, in a briefer way, rapidly nearing a condition similar to the Horsefly approach. (There are resi- dents in the new sub-division who would challenge this as an understatement. ) If we remember Mr. Gardner’s campaign promises cor- rectly, this year there-was going to be something done about maintaining the village streets, and in all fairness to the new commissioner, we will concede that he started off this spring with a lot of good work achieved. But it is a long time since spring. There has been no maintenance program carried out for months and the streets show the bumping result. Early this year Mr. Gardner said the village would have to purchase a grader in order to get the work done when it was needed. He met little support at the time but received permission to obtain prices on a machine. Fairly recently the remainder of the board came around to his way of thinking and approved the purchase in principle and Mr. Gardner again offered to obtain prices. In'the meantime the former arrangement of hiring a public works machiine to do the work was to have been fol- lowed. The commissioner has stated that this arrangement is not satisfactory since the department’s machines are in use on the district road when the weather conditions are right for maintaining the town’s streets. However, a department official states that the village has not made any approach with a request to rent a grader in the past four months. Not too concerned with the methods employed, towns- people would like to see the streets reasonably maintained: lave every right to expect the work to be done. Community Record Joe Phillipson’s decision to accept a teaching position elsewhere in the province will leave a wide gap in the ranks of community workers. Since becoming active in provincial teachers’ affairs, Mr. Phillipson has been left little time for purely local matters, but looking over his past record townspeople can realize the amount of time he has devoted towards the general welfare. Touching on his work with the Board of Trade alone, Mr. Phillipson served five years as secretary, a post that is noted as the most active one in the Board and the hardest to fill. ‘We wish Mr. Phillipson every success in his new principal- ship. As a young and aggressive educationalist we know that he will continue to refiect credit on his profession.

The province has for some years had an Hours of Work Act, by which working hours are limited to eight hours in one day and 44 in one week. The act does not apply to farm help, since farming is a healthy, outdoor occupation and ‘the vote of the farm owners is perhaps more important in Saskatchewan than in any other province. But workers in most other indus- tries have their health protected from overwork or are com- pensated for the risks they take by being paid a time-and-a-half rates for any overtime they put in. At the last session of the legislature a slight additional protection was added to the act. Apparently it was recognized that an extra danger of overwork is created by a statutory holiday, so the legislators, in their infinite wisdom, have decreed that in any week when such a hazard occurs the work- week shall be reduced to 36 hours. For example, in a week when a holiday falls on Saturday construction workers in Saskatchewan, now .on a five-day forty-hour week, will either get a half-holiday on Friday afternoon or will be paid time-and-a-half rates for their final four hours of work.—Penticton Herald.

COUNTER SALES BOOKS RUBBER STAMPS SCRATCH PADS THE TRIBUNE Nature Scrapbook by Bill Myring Vish Facts Adult sockeye salmon usually ap- pear in the fall in streams on which there are lakes and pass through the lakes to spawn in the tributary streams. A few spawn along the shores of lakes and a few in streams on which there are no lakes. Young sockeye spend usually one, frequently two and occasionally three years in fresh water, eventually passing to the ocean, where they mature. They return as-adults after three or four summers in the sea, when they are thus 4 or 5 years of age. A few, for the most-part males, mature at 3years of age and are fre- quently referréd to as grilse and sometimes ‘‘jacks,”” A few mature at 6 years of age and fewer still at 7 and § years. = The sockeye salmon is the most prized of the Pacific salmon because its high oil content, the colour of its flesh, and its rather uniform size make it an excellent fish for canning. Forest Conservation With news of pulp plants project- ed for the interior of the province it is interesting to see how material on the coast that was formerly con- sidered waste is now utilized. Of the 211,000 tons of Kraft pulp produced in 1951, eighty-five per cent of the raw material was derived from sawmill waste. = Smaller samills which are within trucking distance of large mills are now selling their waste which form- erly would bave been destined for the burner and the plywood mills are now virtually waste free. All of this is good forest consery- ation practice. Birds & Farmers Dr. J. A. Munro in his book “Birds of British Columbia” records the fol- loing: During the late summer sonie kinds of insectivorous birds, craving acid food after a steady diet of in- sects, turn their attention for a short period to cultivated fruits. Far- sighted farmers, realizing that the consumption of fruit by such birds is more than paid for by the quantity DET E ALE Ghuredar, ANMUAE LE, URE Tiities, thite the inatter philemaphigals ly and refrain from employing re- medial measures. It would seem wasteful to destroy a valuable in- sectivorous bird because it exacts payment,.in the form of cultivated ‘ fruit, for services rendered on the farm. Smiles... He brushed his teeth twice a day with a nationally advertised tooth brush and a miraculous tooth paste that killed germs, kept hs teeth white, and gave him an irresistible smile. The doctor examined him twice a year. He wore rubbers whenever it look- ed like rain. He slept with the window open. He stuck to a diet with plenty of fresh vegetables. He golfed, but never more than 18 holes. He neyer smoked, drank or lost his temper. He got at least eight hours of sleep every night. - - The funeral will be held next Wed- nesday. He is survived by 18 spe- cialists, four health institutes, six zymnasiums,: and numerous manu- facturers of health foods and anti- septics. = 5 He had forgotten about trains at grade crossings. —Baltimore & Ohio Magazine.
