In fact we had to open a lot of
mental doors to remember that
the “War Haw'ks” group sold
Congress on the idea of annex
ing Canada — which proved
to be the mistake of the year.
The shock of our young nation
al life came when Sir Isaac
Brock and his Indian Ally,
Chief Tecumseh, actually cap
tured Detroit. Both countries
took a long look at the future
and decided to shake hands and
be friends. Treaties were sign
ed, and in 1940 a Permanent
Joint Board of Defense was
created, binding both countries
in a joint defense of North
America.
In the next Prairie Province
of Saskatchewan, w'e still mar
velled at the mile squares of
wheat, with an occasional farm
home. We learned that the
three Prairie Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta are sparsely populated,
with a total population less
than that of Chicago. Most of
the southern prairies are tree
less, and more or less arid
without irrigation; but the soil
is so fertile that many never
use fertilizer.
Regina, Saskatchewan’s capi
tal, with a population of
110,000, is well named. It is
truly a “queenly city”. The
Legislative Building is one of
beauty and majesty. Arthur
Allen, its genial host, went the

Neighbor Policy”, in his graci

the doors of the Legislative
Chambers for us, despite the
I fact we had arrived “after

Here we learned that Saskat
chewan's first inhabitants were
pre-historic Indians, who cross
. ed from Asia to North America
. some 20 to 30 thousand years
ago. Their descendents, Chip

and Cree Indians, occupied the
: area when the white man
pioneered this wilderness.

multiple cooperatives in Oil,

even Inter-Province Co-opera

be the world’s largest earth

construction costs aggregating
some .$184,000,000. Famed for
its Wild Animal Park and Cres

enjoyed reading a copy of

stated that two months before,
only two buildings stood in the
city; and, there were now over
100. Canada, in its effort to
populate its western provinces
had offered free land to anyone
homesteading it, with the re
sulting influx of inhabitants
from many lands.

Days”!
But back in the “Garden
Spot’’, we are well into school
days again, with a record at
tendance in most of the coun
ty's schools.
Little folk just beginning
their venture into the big,
wide world of education, often
forget to "look both ways”, in
their preoccupation with the
wonder of it all. It is the duty
of adult drivers to think for
them at times. Covington is
proud of its award as the
“Safest City of its Size” for
1962. So, let us strive to keep
that award; but, primarily to
keep our children safe from
our carelessness, or theirs, in
driving during school days.
We lost our game with the
Morgan County Bulldogs, Fri
day night, but, they knew they
had been in a battle! Our boys
played a splendid game, and
congratulations are in order to
the team and coaches, not only
for a good game, but most of
all for a fine spirit of sports
manship—which is after all the
most important factor, and the
only one they will take into
later life.
But, the broom insists that
it is “press time” and not game
time; and we get the impres-
I sion that it is time to do the
inevitable — "SWEEPIN’ UP.”
KNOW ANATOMY
According to the Southern
Pine Association, lumber users
benefit from knowing the anat
omy of the tree.
Since all trees are nourished
by moisture absorbed through
roots, all freshly cut lumber is
literally saturated with water.
As this moisture evaporates,
the wood cells contract and
lumber shrinks. This loss of
size is inevitable, regardless of
species. The important thing is
for it to take place before and
not after lumber is in service.
That’s why the user should
specify lumber that has been
properly dried and “pre
shrunk” before being surfaced
to final dimensions.
The basic weavers in textiles
are plain, twill and satin. From
these, hundreds of other
weaves are developed.

INSECTS IN STORED GRAIN
Grain in storage should be i
fumigated to kill insect pests i
which destroy the grain and ।
make it unfit for human con
sumption. Cooperative Exten- :
sion Service entomologists
point out that fumigation kills
the insects that are present,
but does not protect the grain
from reinfestation. They say
grain should be inspected fre
quently to see if additional
fumigation is needed.

1 Football took the spotlight at
the Covington Kiwanis meet
ing Thursday of last week. The
program was presented by
Newton High coaches Milton
McLaney and Wilbur Fisher.
Bob Greer, News Sports Edi

McLaney gave a thumb nail
sketch of the backs on the
NCHS squad this year, and
Fisher described his linemen.
Accompanying the two men
tors was “B” Team Coach
Stone Cooper, and Baby Ram
coaches Billy Crowell and L.
G. Carney. The Rams’ two co
