THEY HAD TO DROP IT London, 011t„ Old ilone Week ex- ecutive has decided to eliminate what was to have been "Inter- national Day," It a'1 started over the use of the swastika emblem of Nazi Germany, and there were people in London who didn't like that emblem because they didn't approve of what had been lone under its auspices, Tbey overlook— ed •tbe fact that there was no othe" flag or em61em which a German• Canadeau sectioncould use. There leave been a good many lneetinge, dealing with the incident. but nothing came of ,them. If the little peace. clove fluttered about at any of the meetings then there was no place Where it could perch or roost—or whatever it is such birds do. The decision to eliminate the In- ternational Day was regarded as the may possible solution and London's experience in that natter may he 'wettable to other organizations. or conbm rabies dealing with a simper" Problem.

His claim was, that a snout had not been put on a pig for an ornament; 1t was fixed 'tha!t way for rooting' in the ground, Grandfather was not Much on books, 'bat 110 used to take the hos wagon now and, (then and drive down past, the Broken Front road to a sort of bog 1511000 there wee peat, He . said there was some- thing in that which a pig needed and, alien it came 'on winter be al.' ways kept a little heap o tliat stuff in the corner of the pen.

They said then it was diet, and they say the 'same .today, The fact that a farmer a :few days ago had seven of his little porkers eaten be. fore they were a week old indicates things today must be about the some as they were on tete Tenth. No doubt they know more today than they used' to, but they base not yet succeeded in producing a feeling of Contentment, joy and pride of family in all the mother pigs. There used to be a less serious problem of what to do with the speckled hen when she .started eat- ing her eggs, We say the speckled hen because they were all speckled on the Tenth, There were n number of -things tried and the 111r. ed man being rather scientific tried Jelling a hole and making a little Pocket where the egy would slide down so the speokled 'sen could not get it, The idea may have been the forerunner of the trap nest, but gretultather never thought much It it.

It is fortunate that eggs generally are aloe sold on that basis, Why Concentrate on Beer? Opponents of Government Control concentrate their attacks on our industry. This alone, to any thinking man, is enough to throw doubts on their wisdom. If the cause of true temperance is ' their object, rather than a tactical advantage, they surely should not devote so large a part of their time to attacking the mildest of alcoholic beverages, and one which is not habit-forming. But because a democratic law makes our product available by the glass to working men, under Govern- ment Control, the opponents of the present system seek to drive drinking underground—where they do not see it. The truth is, that the individual is less likely to commit abuses in public, and the abuses are more easily correctable. In fact, licensed hotels are very seldom the scene of excess. Because an intoxicated man is seen near a hotel —it does not follow that he acquired the means of intoxication in a hotel. But it does provide the unthinking people with a useful text , .. if they do not bother to prove their conclusions. We find no definite evidence to support the theory that satisfying the taste for beer develops 'a craving for whisky. On the contrary, we believe that if beers .. are more easily obtainable than distilled liquors and are sold in different conditions, there is reasonable ground to expect that the taste of those who wish to drink will be diverted to the lighter and less harmful beverages.
