Obviously it is wrong to condemn whole families to serve a life sentence of this kind when power machinery is available for bringing rapidly into cul- tivation bush land close to existing facilities. It is better to break the land before settlement so that the in- coming farmer can obtain a satisfactory income from the beginning—an income big ,enough to provide hint with a de- cent living after deducting installments to pay for the initial breaking. If, instead of taking up new land, lie were to rent an improved farm, cus- tom would demand one_third of his crop for rent. Acting on this principle the Alberta government struck the fol- lowing bargain with Lassiter. The government will stake out ten 10,000- acre blocks between the Birch Hills and the Peace river which Lassiter. will prepare for crop within a specified time. The government is free to lease the land, or dispose of it in any other way after breaking, but the occupants must bind themselves for seven years to turn over one-third of the proceeds, thirty per cent to Lassiter and three and one-third per cent to the govern- ment, after which the land may become their own. The main undertaking of land clear- ing has been tackled in the spirit that made Lassiter a name in . southern Al- berta. Only the heaviest tractors built are employed and new implements have been designed capable of utilizing their full power. At present there are fourteen "Cats" (caterpillars) on the job. The plow in use" weighs eight and a half tons and its seven discs cut a swath up to 11"feet wide and it can be put down 16 inches into the ground. It takes two Cats to pull one plow in rough country. The big Cats also found to be a psychopath and should the co1idition not respond to treatment, he would remain in the mental institu- tion.

TEN COMMANDMENTS OF SPORT All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and a spiritless girl. Men and women are just boys and girls grown up and they still require rec- reation, Different ages may necessi- tate different sports, but the same gen, eral rides apply to all competitive games: Mr. Fullerton, sports editor of the New York Evening Plait writ- ing in the American a quarter of a cen- tury ago gave the following "ten com- mandments of sport" which still apply: - Thou shalt not quit, 2 - Thou shalt not alibi. 3 -Thou shalt not gloat over winning. 4 - Thou shalt not be a rotten loser. 5- Thou shalt not take unfair advan- tage 6 - Thou shalt not ask odds, thou art unwilling to give. - 7 - Thou shalt always be ready to give thine opponents the. shade. 8_ Thou shalt not under estimate an opponent, nor over estimate thyself. 9 - Remember that the game is the thing, and that he who thinketh other- wise is a mucker and no true sports- man. 10 - Honor the game thou playest for he who playeth the game straight and hard wins even when he loses. * * SEX PERVERTS INSANE Once again Canadians have been shocked by the rape and murder of a young girl,by a sex maniac. The tra- gic death of an 11-year-old Owen Sound girl at the hands of a sex per- vert should shock Canadians out of. the complacency with which they have been wont to regard the problems of sexual perversion. The:circumstances surrounding this case make it very clear that this dastardly act was car- ried out by a man with a warped and twisted mind. These sex murders have become far too frequent a head- line in our daily „papers and they are seldom a mere criminal act, carried out for an illegal purpose, but they are nearly always the result of sheer de_ pravity. This Owen Sound sex pervert faces hanging or life imprisonment if he is caught, but he is not the only sex per- vert at large today. All across Canada there are men who have been convicted of sex offences;,have served sentences and are now free citizens. Many of them have records including several sex offences and no steps have been taken to adjust their perverted minds, although their repeated perversion sug- gests that an obsession of this nature frequently persists. Many leading psychiatrists in int* countries attest that these Sex' crimes are a form of insanity. It is time that some notice. is taken of the fact that mere prison terms will not cure their basic cause. The State of New 'York took a forward step in its dealing with the problem this year. It passed a bill providing that sex perverts be com- mitted to an appropriate mental in- stitution after conviction, but before sentence. If and when psychiatric or medical treatment is successful, the act provides, the offender is returned to court for sentence, front which would Mrs. Win, Carter, when RevA. be deducted the period spent in the in- Hewitt united in marriage, Ella 11a , stitution.
