We shall not be able to receive or send mail for a period of three months. That is the break-up time when the rivers are clear. This has been a veiy difficult win­ ter for our Indians, who travel far from the Fort in search of furs and game for themselves and their dogs. Consequently we did not have as many of them in for 'Christmas, those who did come attended a ser­ vice in their language and attended a party at which they received their portion of the missionary bale. We received a leg of caribou as a. Christ­ mas present. It was very , delicious meat. After Christmas, in company with the bride-to-be, I flew up to Fort Good Hope to marry the policeman there. I performed the ceremony in the barracks. The matron of hon­ or was the wife of the Hudson Bay Co. Post manager; the best man an­ other policeman and the congrega­ tion the pilots and mechanics of the large tri-motor plane. The temper­ ature was 65 below zero.

Obstinate Coughs and Colds The Kind That Stick May Become Dangerous Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup THURSDAY, APRII, Till, 1038 FIAT WALL FINISH After an unavoidable delay I am continuing my article on “Alcohol and -the Individual.” In a couple of weeks I will send you my filial article of this series, in which I will discuss “Alcohol in Politics,” In my previous letters I emphasized the immensity and the seriousness of my subject, I have also described how the innate and specific action of the drug automatically prepares the ■brain cells so that an. individual will accept a deception as a truth when normally he would, detect it as a lie. If this subtle action of alcohol were sudden and spectacular, it would never be condoned. With lep­ rosy many years may intervene be­ fore the disintegration of the tissue cells. When .poisoned with radium, it may be five years before the in­ dividual realizes his hopeless con­ dition, and so with these thousands of victims of alcoholism some at 16 some not until 70, susceptibility and hoi taken, sooner casualties of King So much ifor the action of the drug itself. I-Iow about the subject on which the drug acts. In other words what is the type of individual to whom the traffic is catering? In this highly mechanized age we find children growing up in easy sheltered surroundings, warmly clad in comfortable homes, with large quantities of food lavishly pro­ vided, and as a result we find them growing up physically stronger, handsomer and an inch and a half taller than their .parents. And this apparently seems all to the good. But increase in height and muscle is no criterion of ‘general improvement. It is found that these same children are lacking in nervous stability. They can endure neither worry nor fatigue. The artificially pampered and irresponsible lives they are liv­ ing and the noisy confusion of this modern age of auto, radio ad cine­ ma are given as the logical reason foir their nervous instability, and these poorly adjusted individuals are filling our mental hospitals by hun­ dreds. Many of those who escape the mental 'hospitals make easy sub­ jects for the liquor vultures to gath­ er to their toils. ((Reference — Dr. Alexis Carrel. Rockefeller Research Institute, New York). I was shown a picture of 500 boys in uniform taking physical ex­ ercise on their college campus. The statement was made: That at the present rate of beverage room pat­ ronage, in 10 years, 8'0 per cent of those boys would be addicted to liq­ uor. Are conditions any better for our Ontario boys than that? Will our legislature answer? And the traffic is also alert to meet another grow­ ing demand, viz: Beverage rooms for girls. This is an age we told of woman’s emancipation, thers and some grandmothers, ihave now advanced and modern thods of developing the delicate, es­ thetic and domestic instincts of their daughters. iSo to be consistent their argument would be something like this. If our young girls are allow­ ed and indeed sometimes encouraged to dress like the boys, jump hurdles with the boys and swim with tihe boys, why not cigarettes with the and cocktails just around tihe corner. We are told education not legis­ lation, is the panocea for all those ills. Educate is the word. Edu­ cate the 'boys and girls at home and at school to ihate liquor and all will Ibe well. And that argument seem­ ingly worked otrt • very well until suddenly, like a bolt from the blue came to parents and school teachers the sihock of their life-time, when tihe Prime-Educator of the Province the Minister of Education foorsoth— so prostituted his high and honor­ able office to the level of the traffic and became the main influence in the retrograde steps which were then taken to establish tihe beverage-room menace as we have it today. In this respect the brewers and distillers owe a great deal of gratitude to ed­ ucation. All poisons used in agriculture in Canada, such as insecticides, fungi­ cides, weed killers, rat and igopher poisons, and sheep dips, must be re­ gistered with the Seed Branch, Do­ minion Department of Agriculture, and every .package of the poisons offered for sale in Canada must show on the lalbel the name and ad­ dress of the manufacturer, the re­ gistration number, the word poison’ if harmful to human or animal life, the antidote for the poison, the guarantee analysis of the contents and the net quantity by weight or volume. 17 Beautiful Shades*—Washable-—Durable H.

PRODUCT RADIO LICENSES DEMANDED Effective on April 1st purchasers of radio sets will be required to pro­ duce or buy a license before dealers may deliver their purchases, accord­ ing to an order of the transport de­ partment proclaimed in an extra is­ sue of The Canada Gazette. The order makes it an offence for a person to install or operate more than one set in his home without obtaining extra licenses. It makes it unlawful to operate a set that emits radiations interfering with recep­ tion of other set owners. Dealers and servicemen are pro­ hibited from servicing or repairing sets unless the owners can produce licenses entitling them to operate the sets. The order directs every receiving set before it leaves the factory shall ha.ve posted conspicuously on it a , notice drawing attention to the fact ’ it cannot be bought legally by any-1 cne not in possession of license. Farmers needing money to finance the costs of plant­ ing—money for wages of workers, for seed, equipment, fertilizers, etc.—will find at the Bank of Montreal a ready and willing response to applications for loans. Borrowing to make a harvest is a constructive use of credit, approved by sound banking. Our branch managers in all agricultural parts of the Dominion are familiar with farmers’ require­ ments and market conditions.
