Gains were reported in '‘services, construction and transportation, while manufacturing, as a whole, logging, mining, communications and* trade showed contractions. In some cases the losses were seasonal in character. ■ i Some improvement in trend of unemployment was shown in the Prairie Provinces. It was unfavor­ able in Ontario , and Quebec, while the general situation in the Mari­ time Provinces and British Colum­ bia was unchanged.

What we mean is the assured way some of them declare that the Conference has -concluded certain aspects of its work. 'They say in a manner that’ misleads the plain man that the Conference is granting such- and “S-Ubh conditions. Surely such writers do not realize how ea-gerly their words 'are hung upon as farmers and other working people scan their pages for informa­ tion. Instead of information some of those writers give their read­ ers conjectures, plain^guesses, in other words. Let it b.e said that conjectures these trying, anxious days are altogether out of order save as.-conjectures, .labelled as conjectures. To mislead the pub­ lic j.ust mow is mischien/ous beyond all telling. The Conference' will make its decisions kno-wn when these de­ cisions are arrived at and not until then. The decisions of the Conference and the guesses of zealous but misinformed correspon­ dents are quitb another thing. Newspapers should not allow their ^enterprise to run away with their serious duty to the public. These are moit times for sensationalism. The. Ottawa Conference is a business meeting, not a ramp. v The Imperial Conference at Ottawa is a serious effort on the part .of the British Empire to put heart into the world. **»**.**.*.

There are tens of thousands of these greater porpoises in the Churchill River the harbour and outer waters, according to informa­ tion reaching the Canadianj Nation­ al Railways. Trappers take the whales without any trouble by us­ ing a home-made harpoon made- out of s'erap -metal They go- out in a. canoe with a piece of,board or an empty can for a float, harpoon the animal, and leave the tin can or bo,ard attached as a mark which shows them the location of the whale when it is dead Then they haul it ashore and cut it up for dog food. People in these-regions, how-, ever, are satisfied that something thould be done to 'reduce the white whale population. They show these large mammals do away vast quantities of small fish are of value. We have just heard of ithe sort of-man we greatly need for times like these. This hero, approached a business man asking if he might dg^a certain job for him. '“And what’s your price?” was the reply. A figure was named and the merchant answered “You simply can’t keep me from letting you have that job.” To work this modern combination of philosopher and Work-seeker went and a strictly first class job was the result. Before the last touch had been put ion the bit of well done work the employer offered -a secpjuL job. The result is that this live wire who refuses'to lie down as long as he can lift a ’hand or move a foot is as busy as an old time lamp lighter. Big wages? Not at' all, but he is getting living wages and a little more. While others are growing about hard times this worker is paying his way and getting ready for the zero weather of next winter. While other men are looking for folk to feed them, folk whose heads are softer than their hearts this man is resolutely looking up bargains to offer in his line that folk'Simply cannot refuse to accept. Instead of standing in his door or roosting in some shady corner, he’s resolutely creating his own success. Instead of proving himself a general nuisance lie’s keeping his hand in practice and his digestion sound for the new good times that‘are coming, building uip. a reputation for hustle and general efficiency that will stand him in good stead as long as he lives. If. the jelly-backed whiners and their friends who will be begging for them next winter will put on a little energy and really seek for jobs, they” soon find them, provided they do not tib their noses too high and ask foir wages that simply are not to be trad. Big business and little business will wrestle through provided they take a leaf from our hero’s book. that with that i CANADA IS SOUND (Ottawa Journal) There is nothing fundamentally wrong with Canada, Financially, this country is as solid as a rock.

Such places afforded ready market for the farmer’s pro­ duce. There were entertainments of one sort and another where no end of social life and fun and instruction were to the fore. There’s no use of talking of going back to those old days. The world is not built that way. Industries simply have fallen out by the wayside. Advertising and improved means of transportation have made that impossible. All’ the- same there is something that we have dropped in our alleged progress that we had better go back and-pick up for this thing of ouf huddling together in big centres is not working out satisfactorily. Here is a case from life that illustrates this very thing, Two men of the same age and engaged in the same occupation Were talking about this thing only last week. Be it noted that ohe of these men carried on in a big city where he aid as jfiuch hard work in a day as the other did In a week, even if the city (tad more style and fuss and feathers a considerably bigger bubble of reputation. Both men are getting towards the sunset. Said the country man to his friend, “I 'think I have enough to- last me till I’m through/* Said the other “I’ve just about enough to last me one month.*’ Both of these men are frugal. Both of them have lived up to the spending requirements of their respective communities. But the city has sucked the one may dry, while the small town has nourished the other. This is worth while thinking about, The Cairn which has just been i •om. Meted in St. James’ Cemetery ■was built of Canadian granite,stone collected from .the old farms o-f the Hodgins families, and was built by Mr. Robert Crellin, of London. The tablet which is a work of art, was the work of Mr. Walter .Cunningham of Exeter. The Cemetery Commit­ tee should feel well pleased in the part that they took in -the work re­ presenting the Cemetery. As this Cairn not only stands as a memorial for the late James Hodgins but through him it stands also for the birth of the cemetery and the first church which whs built Of logs among the stumps nearly, one hun­ dred years ago. It is very gratify­ ing to see the wonderful change that has-been made in the past few years which sadly hoped Which out the coming ages will be a re­ minder to those coming in charge to carry on the good work of keeping the cemetery as it should be kept.— (Lucan Sun.) in this old xVas for so neglected. that this ho doubt will stand through* historic cemetery many years, so And it is to bC beautiful Cairn P.
