Every scholar in the land means something for the stability of the republic. No one knows this better than Herbert Hoover. * * * * * ,1. * * -GOOD NEWS Canadians are delighted at this news of the discovery of coal in the James Bay region. It , is a bit early to say very much re- garding the quality of the' coal that has been thus brought to our attention. 'Time and careful research by men competent in 'such; matters• will disclose the purposes to which the new fuel may be devoted. • In any case, it is fortunate that the coal is situated centrally in the Dominion. Relatively adjacent to the fuel is ore in un- limited quantities that only waits the magic of the refiner's touch. A railway is under. construction that will bring that ore and coal to the present centres. of man,facture. Unlimited waterpower is available' for the development of electricity essential in all modern manufacture: Might welcome for these and Or a dozen other reasons, is the news that Ontario has at her disposal such a fine supply of coal. No longer need the business world think of New Ontario as being the hone of the stunted poplar and the woifa The region once dispised and dreaded is demonstrating icer worth to the Dominion and to the world.

The story Is vastly apart from any of their previous efforts of adventure, com- prising some of the most ludicrous situations, complications .and screams gathered in one .entertain- ment devised in recent years. This time little Jeff emerges from his role of underdog :and 'shows, or rater tries to lead his pal and fel., low -conspirator from the meshes of domestic infelicity to the summit of martial happiness.

GERALD FITTON CARRIES PARACHUTE JUMPER 8,000 FEET IN AIR The Toronto Globe of September 3rd contains the following account of a parachute juniper who slid off the wings of a plane piloted by Mr. Gerald Fitton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Saxon Fitton, of town. Eight thousand feet above the suburbs of Weston on Tuesday af- ternoon, George Bennett, of Hamil- ton coasted off the wing of a plane to a local parachute -jump- record and landed in the airport of the Canadian Air Express, some five miles to the east on Dufferin Street. It' was the nine•.ltnndred and fifty seventh excursion from the clouds tor their former Hamilton firemen. Up until recently Bennett was an ac- tive member of the Hamilton fire- fighting force. In fact, it is said by. his friends that he acquired his taste for high jumping, from. ladder.. climbing experiences with the aerial section of the Ambitious City bri- gade. Worries Abont Walking Rack Whatever the cause, he showed a perfect passion for this dropping in- to space on Tuesday. His chief worry, it seemed, was that of having to walk back to the airport if the "chute" drifted too far on the strong breeze that was sweeping over North York Township. Just before he and a representative of The Globe stepp- ed into the plane that took there up into the haze, he warned- attendants at the port that they must come af- ter him. "Listen to me," he said, "I stay right where I drop until• a car smiles. Get me, I'm not going to• carry the chute iu this heat." • In one sense, both he and pilot "Jerry Fitton were disappointed in Tuesday's drop. • They wanted to get higher. They warted to get at least 7,000 feet higher. However, The Globe man who .accompanied thein. was perfectly satisfied with the altitude •reached. For nearly an hour Pilot' Fitton battled with air currents and tried to' lift . the heavily' loaded open cockpitted bi- plane farther into the haze Foy the last half hour of the flight, the buildings took the appearance of "warts" on the landscape. • • The great Hogg's Hollow bridge Was toy srructure with a procession of ants crossing it. Finally he gave the signal. Ben- nett•elimbed en the wing, sat poised for a moment and slipped •off,'.just as many a small boy -has slipped down the forbidden cellar door. It was just as easy, according to the way Bennett did it. In every way, it was done faithfully to the •manner of ''`movie" thrillers until he wag clear of the plane and swtit:ly' drop-. ping, Il'our up, Seconds Mown But there was never a movie aur dMree experienced the next senna_ tion. It took nearly an liour• to get up. It seemingly took seconds to get down. The tail went up and the nose down. Pilot Fitton sent her down with the gify' abandon of a March wind playing with a new kite.
