Eilber, Tcjwnship Clerk TELEVISION HOPES For years radio engineers have been dreaming of the day when folk will be able to see as well as to hear over the radio. Thousands of research workers have been try­ ing to find the practical way to project light a® wel as sound by this use of the ether waves- In the lab­ oratories, some remarkable results have been achieved. Still unsolved are the questions of cost and of the distance to- which motion can be pro­ jected. The Radio Corporation of Ameri­ ca announces that it will spend a million dollars on commercialized experiments. A transmitter will be set up in the tower of the Empire State building and a dozen or more receiving seta placed in several nearby spots. The day may' come—I believe it will come—^when, people can sit in their homes and twist the dial to see a baseball game or a horserace or a prize-fight. Long before that, some theatres will be equipped to show such scenes on the screen while they are actually happening. But even that is a long way off. MRS. ROBERT MCDONALD Mrs. Isabelle (.Sanderson) Mc­ Donald passed away in her fiftieth year at her home in Morris Twp. She is survived by her husband and three daughters. Many 'Ontario centres are organ­ izing Rudy Vallee parties for trips to the Canadian National Exhibition. The great maestro will be heard every afternoon and evening thro­ ughout the Exhibition.

She always is long on morale. ******** It’s nice to read about those who have had the imioney to take them to the cool places where the maddingi crowd’s ignoble strife never comes. A whole l'ot of us stayed at home believing that we should pay our bills. ******** We heard it said of a certain farmer, "He isn’t growing as big crops as he used to produce, but he’s making more money." We’ve just heard of another farmer who lost a coupe of fingers He didn’t put his .binder out of gear when he went to clear the knives. He was in a hurry. Was his loss an accident? We know of still another farmer who sold two truck loads of hogs last week, The price of ithe iporkers was at the very best. ***♦*«*»? Human nature takes queer spasms. For a while we did our outmost to ferret out all and singular who were not well fed and well clad and all the rest of the things that make for comfort. In­ deed we regarded -ourselves as in the hero class when we found anyone who was willing to take sweet charity. And a whole lot of our work in this line was meritorious. But we found, after a couple of .years, that we had a large class of people iw.ho said, "Why should we worry yhen .others get fat on caring'for us?” Next we found that we could not pay the bills incurred Iby our beneficence. Mean­ while we bad developed a class that didn’t have it in them in. any way to do a real day’s work. Next we turned out on the street the whole caboodle of those we had rendered incompetent by our well-meant but misguided activities as well as those who are most rightfully the wards of the public. It’s a great game. **4cA**?k4 IT’S TASK Mr. Stanley Baldwin announces that his task is that of rebuild­ ing Britain. Speaking of the awe-inspiring undertaking he had this to say: "Our objective today, now 'that I am Prime -Minister, is the same as iMr. MacDonald’s when he was Prime Minister, and that is to.utilize the forces of all men of good will, to whatever .party they belong, in rebuilding Britain. The fruits of all our campaign so far fill us with encouragement, for we have a million more in work than, we had when we started, and people are saying all over the country; ‘Things are looking-a lot better.’ Now this improvement has been planned. In addition to impwving the financial situation we have brought .it about, first, by creating confidence in industry and trade, and in industry, of course, I include agriculture. Se­ condly, we have brought about this improvement by revolutionizing our fiscal system and by the introduction of the tariff. Thirdly, we have brought about the improvement by the Empire agreements at Ottawa.” Note these words—"This improvement has been planned.” ♦ ijt A / * * * * * TRY AGAIN "This is the law of ithe jungle, The law runs forward and back; (The strength of the pack is the wolf, And the strength of the wtolif is the pack.” This is the way that a poet sees things. He realizes that each individual human must fen>d for himself. He sees, too, that each individual human is bound up with the welfare of every other hu­ man: That is all the imost obvious of commonplace. Like many another commonplace it has been ignored lately 'in regard to help­ ing the men and women iwh'o are out of ,woirk.# To begin with, it is as plain as day that every adult individual is intended to pull his own weight. Danger is in the air when this fact is overlooked. Indeed, as soon as a boy. or a girl can make his own living he had better1 be doing that very thing. Grave risk is .run when parents or others coddle their children through college or into any enterprise whatsoever. .Special privilege is afoot. An- gier is sure to arise and pride to lift its ugly head. Trouble is on the horizon when charity is given, or received. The fact that one knows that he will be fed and clothed and housed whether he works or idles cannot but cut the nerve of enterprise on the part of the in­ dividual. "In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eat bread”, is an ancient edict. Under this wise but stern decree the race must take its way through a world that has in it many a thorn and brier. Let is fee freely said and honestly believed that this good prov­ ince has ignored this decree. She must retrace her steps to the place where she first ignored it. This decree holds. "Work *or starve” is- the call of the universe to every son of Adam. Not to heed this cry is to take a journey into the wilderness. No amount of side-stepping or modification will change this unalterable fact. Th© longer society attempts to get away from the call to- laboui' the imiore terrible will be her misery. This seems hard, we know, but the world is a stern place. Yet when each insists that he will eat no bread that he does not earn and when society insists that no bread b‘e .gliven the ablebodied that is not earned, a better and a much happier day will have come for Canada.

JUST RIGHT from the Farmers’ point of view One thing, in particular, farmers like about the Western Fair. This great exhibition is large enough and important enough to include exhibits by Canada’s leading manufacturers and to give farmers an excel­ lent chance to see prize-winning exhibits in every branch of agriculture: yet compact enough that he need not miss any of the things he’d like to see. No holiday is more enjoyable than one or two days at the Western Fair. Farmers and their families will find so very much to interest them— Government exhibits—agricultural displays—.farm machinery—manufac­ tures—automobile show—horse races and Night Horse Show—midway­ hundreds of interesting and unique attractions.
