Thursday, July 23, 1936 TIRED OF WAITING . The people of the Peace River country are tired of wait ing for gravelled highways and improvements including a -western rail outlet to the coast and are asking that they be cut off from the rest of Alberta which is waiting patiently for .a mythical $25 a month dole. We all become impatient.' 'at the delays in getting those public services which we think are our due. And on the other hand we find another Jess articulate section of the cbimtry impatient at the governments for' spending so much money .on these works and increasing the taxes so that jt is almost impossible for the taxpayers to pay them. Mr. Aberhart and his ministers have a hard time in Alberta trying to satisfy the people, large numbers of whom are illiterate or educated only in a foreign language. He probably has not remembered that there is such a section as the Peace River country. Now it will be brought forcibly to his" attention and an attempt will be made, doubtless, to xiarry out some of the pre-election promises. PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN While many things may happen between now and the end of the presidential campaign in the United States, there seems every likelihood that President Roosevelt will get his second term and that the present trade relations with our southern neighbors will continue for another four years from next spring at the least. In the meantime business is retarded by the rather unsettled condition. While it is necessary to our democratic system that an opportunity be given to make changes periodically, this is one place where the dictator has a distinct advantage over the democracy. The great demos is fickle, easily swayed and often seeming to have little brains. WAR STILL GOING ON Evidently, judging by the despatches, the war in Ethiopia is still going on and Italy has anything but, a sinecure in bringing into, subjection a hostile people in a wild .country, especially during the rainy season when travel is practically impracticable for .a white person. It is possible that Ethiopia jnay prove to be a thorn in Mussolini's side. This advertisement is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board or by the Government of British Columbia.

The common substance of salt offers a field for research which would occupy more .than .the entire lifetime of a student or scientist. So declared Dr. 11. N. Brocklesby of the scientific staff of the .Prince Rupert Fisheries Experimental Station in an ad-. dress ,to the Pince Rupert Gyro CJub yesterday .on (the sublet ,of, Salt. The discourse proved 4one of .much interest. Past President S. J. Jabour was in the chair in the I absence from the city of the president, Dr. R. ,G. .Larage, on an angling expedition. Salt had not always been as ! abundant and cheap as It is today. Dr. Brocklesby declared. It walj required to maintain all life and the struggle for Its possession had marked alt history. It had beer the cause of wars and revolutions' The dally salt requirement of an ordinary adult was; .tw6-.th.lrds of an ounce. Primitive roan ,0Dr talned salt in .his uncooked food When man started ;to cook his food, however, it became necessary to add salt. The early history, of almost oil races abounded with references to salt. In China salt .had .once ,been considered next to gold In value and in the thirteenth century pieces of salt had been used as money at a ratio of two to one with gold. Today in the South Seas and remote parts of Africa. salt was still used as a medium ,of exchange. Roman legionaries had been paid in part in salt and thus came the origin of the word salary. Due to the need for salt, kings: and rulers had found it an excellent commodity to tax and bootleg manfacture ot salt had been one of .the earliest of Illicit trades. Abuse of the salt tax had been one pf the contributing causes to thr French .Revolution. Even in recent years Gandhi and his followers had rebelled In In-flla against the salt tax. It was claimed that the great city pf Lpndon .owed its birth tu the salt trade hetween Worcestershire and the .Continent. Chemistry .pf Salt Dr. Brpckiss,by explained the chemistry of "salt .wtyeh consisted pf sodium and .chlorine, a solid and a gas. was .usually found In crystalline form and the .crys tals were in per.fec.t cubes. The microscope showed them to be assembled In latticework arrange ment. Although salt was of great value as a commodity, its .chief value was as a. chemical. There were few articles of everyday life into the composition or making of which salt djd .not Renter; The annual production .f sa.H was over thirty million tons. There I were three principal sources the sea, subterranean salt .lakes ,an.d rock salt mines. The speaker de scribed .methods .p.f recpyery ,4 salt. The sea contained abput X? percent salt, it .being estimated that the seven seas .cpntalned ;f lye million .cubic miles .of s.ait. Jhe salt over the years bad come to the seas from the land ,by way o.f! the rivers. From Jts salt content, scientists have been ,aWe (to $-! timate the age .of ,the sea at jfrpm seventy million ;tp ,pne hundred; million years. ! Salt from the .sea was .obtained by solar .evaporation. This had been the prim.ltl.Ye (rnethod ,pf ,re-j coverlng .salt but it was still .ob tained in large quantities .by .this way in .California. Mining oj jock salt alsp dated back many .centuries, ,the .oldest known salt .mine being .in Upland where the mine was a great .religious shrine. J.n Canada .the largest salt deposit was at Sandwich, Ontario. As it was .at a .depth of 1600 feet, it was npt practicaple' to mine it as jock salt so wat(r, was sent down by a tube ilnto the bed and ithe brine pumped put, 'the' salt being recovered iby vacuum' evaporation. T.hjs .QntRIfe ,be.d, was great enough to supply ,the world's needs 4or iOO.OQO years.
