in avoiding comments on controversial
matters and voiced her alarm at the
growing divorce rate in Britain and
the falling of moral standards. She
said they were living in an age of
growing self-indulgence and of hard-
ening materialism. Some of the prin-
ciples on which the family and there-
fore the health of the nation was
founded, were in danger, She was
speaking to an audience of 3,600 wo-
men, members of the Mother's Union.
She urged them to help maintain the
Christian doctrine that the relation-
!, ship of husband and wife was a perma-
nent one and not easily broken. Child-
; reit, who learn by example, must be
I church and also practice Christianity
taught to say their prayers and go to
in their own lives.
It was a timely reminder for the
world and should carry great weight
coming from the heiress presumptive
to the throne of England who is 22
herself and a mother.

UNITED NATIONS FOURTH
ANNIVERSARY
On Oct. 24, 1949, just four years
after the signing of the San Francisco
Charter, the United Nations met in
special open-air session at the site of
NEW $ SIGN ON
3BRITISH GOODS
Devaluation of the pound sterling
reduced prices on a variety of
,Iritisit goods, including shoes, cloth-
rirsg and automobiles. But it is reported
tliriECA the dealers that these savings
will be short lived and prices will re-
gaound in the near future as British
manufacturers are increasing their
prices.
One retailer slashed his prices on
English men's shoes from $25 to
$18,75 but since then has been advised
tai a 15% increase by the manufact-
urer. Another dealer reduced his stock
isy: 25% but since has had the same
notification.
In the clothing line, the male shop-
er fares better than the woman. Men's
English cashmere sweaters, wool socks,
sport jackets and slack are cheaper.
Suit and shirts aren't affected yet un-
tit the new material arrives but then
t2 hey expect merely a 10% drop be-
cause material costs are about half the
retail price. Women's clothing does
rsrot show the decline in price as Cana-
dian and U.S. items are more fashion-
able and more in demand. A few wool
sweaters were marked down but there
too the manufacturer has given notice

North has scantly th ree honour

tly his one club bid is clearly prescrib-

South might consider a response of
two clubs, but with his 4-3-3-3 dis-
tribution he has too little playing
strength for this raise. The no trump
response shows approximately 114r
honour tricks and balanced distribu-
tion and therefore gives a much clear-
er picture of his hand, without getting
above the range of one. Incidentally,
either response should definitely close
the bidding as far as North is con-

It may be pertinent to add that if
North made the error of opening with
one no trump, South should pass. An

The design for the new structure is

His drawings show the new buildings
to have simplicity of shape with white
marble sides and stainless steel and
glass walls. The main building, which

DONALD GORDON
HEADS C.N.R.
The Canadian National Railwayl
the biggest railroad in the Western
Hemisphere, will have as its new boss,
Jan. 1, Donald. Gordon, 47, deputy giv-
ernor of the Bank of Canada. Gordon's
first big public job was setting up a
foreign exchange control system at
the outbreak of World War II, He
proved himself to be one who could
Please the public under difficult cir-
cumstances when he was borrowed
later by the government icir the much
tougher job of running the Wartime
Prices and Trade Board, For a role
that might easily have made enemies
all around as he strait-jacketed wages
and prices, he calmly won friends by
explaining publicly the need for these
controls. A Scottish immigrant who
came to Canada early in life, he first
got a job at the age of 15, as a clerk
in the Bank of Nova Scotia. He be-
came first secretary of the new Bank
of Canada at the age if 34, and three
years later was made deputy to Gra-
ham Towers, Governor of the Bank of
Canada,
The government-owned C.N.R.
which has grown into a 2.4 billion con-
cern, operates 24,178 miles of main
track, twelve hotels, three steamship
lines, an airline and a nationwide tel-
egraph service. Except for the war
years, it has seldom shown a net pro-
fit on its operations and has been crit-
iiczed by many as a white elephant.
Donald Gordon is expected to sell to
the public the C.N.R. as a national
necessity and to find ways and means
of lightening its financial load.

FALL GARDENING TASKS
All the vegetables from the garden,
will by this time be stored away in
a cool spot in the basement. The bulbs
and dahlia roots that must be brosight
in before winter will have been set,
aside to dry before storing them away.
Now is the time for the last clean-up
jobs outside 'before the snow comes.
• If the garden soil is heavy it should
be dry. Digging lets the air and frost
in and makes the earth more, pliable
in the spring. Gravel or sandy soil that
is well drained, need not be dug but
should have a good coating of manure.
Lime is necessary in the soil as it has-
tens bacterial action and corrects acids
ity. The soil in Ontario is usually on
the alkaline side and so not much lime
is needed, Once every 3 or 4 years it
= is a good idea to broadcast it around
i to the amount of 2-3 lbs. per 100 sq,
la foot. It may be in the form of hydrated 11 lime or ground limestone,
Mums are about the only flowers
= in bloom now and so the perennial
i border may be cleaned up. The leaves
should be raked off and the dead stems
cut. Even the Iris can be snipped back • isTs to a few inches from the ground and
all the weeds and grass cleaned out
from among them. All the leaves,
weeds and twitch grass should be care-
fully burned as piles of them provide
winter quarters for insects and pests.
Seeds from dried weeds fall to the
to ground only to germinate next spring
and so care should be taken in remov-
TT, ing the weeds lest the seeds be shaken
= on the garden. Perennials that need
i protection may be mounded up. Ever-
green boughs make the best protection
later.
sa, Soil may be prepared for the hot
E bed. The best proportions are 2 parts
loam, 1 part sand and 1 part peat
U moss, It is a good idea to bring inside
some soil for repotting plants during
the winter. A very good mixture for
El home plants is 2 parts garden loam, 1
• part sand, 1 part peat moss and 1 cup
is- bone meal to each bushel.
Spring is usually a very busy time
for the gardener. Any other little jobs
that can be done now will make it
easier when April and May come
round—and they will!
