ONTARIO MUFFING ITS CHANCE It has been announced that the 'Ontario Government does not in- tend to have an exhibit at the World's Fair in New York next year. One wonders, says the Ot- tawe Journal, whether Premier Hep - been, in coming to the decision, has :given adequate thought to all the consideration involved. Millions of Americans from all parts or the Milted States will visit that fair. Their, presence makes opportunity for Ontario to advertise her attractions for the tourists such as seldom occurs and such as should not be missed. The Peterborough Examiner puts to case well: "Pie should show those visitors 'whet advantages Ontario possesses as a Summer vacatlonland, show them the wonderful system of lakes and rivers we have and the rapidly lengthening network of good 'high. ways over width they can ride to reach these scenic beauty spots. And we shouldn't stop at that, In a world: show window, such as this: great exhibition provides, we should kdisDIay our advantages as a loca- tion 'for branch factories 01 Amerl-' can industries, advertise our cheap power, our publicly owned Hydro systean, our ample railway accom- modation and the other facilities we 'have arvailable for The American manufacturer who is seeking a loca- tion on thla side of the border," Ontario mattes a very 'h'andsome 'profit from the tourists, • Ame1'icans in their• hundreds of thousands have travelled to 'Callender to see the Di- onne. quintuplets and, as Dr. Dafoe said to the Canadian Toutist Assodl- attOn, "figure what that means to the province in gasoline 'tax alone?'

HE HAS LEFT THE CITY Rocco Perri is reported to have left Hamilton, but weather he went far away is uncertain as .he was seen in Toronto a short time after his departure. He has been In Hamilton for a good many years, (Kering which time his wile was murdered one night when gunmen were evidently certain they weed going to shoot Perri himself. Since •then part of his home .has been blown up by a blast of dynamite, but 11e had left the place a short time previously to go to a store. The other evening he went to start bis car and found a bomb had been placed so timed that pressing the starting apparatus would cause the explosion. The car was blown to smithereens and two men taken to the hospital, But Perri was virtually uninjured , There were years dulling the op- eration of the O.T.A, when Rocco Perri was named "King• of the Bootleggers;" and we believe he Picked that name out and gave it to himself, probably nothing more or less tnan a toren of braggaaoolo which made its own peculiar appeal to him, We have 110 way of knowing what the people of Hamilton think obout this gentleman, but bombings and dynamite are foreign to this conutry and probably HarUton is weary of a succession of such events. The police have never been able to tie the crime to any person. At best a citizen who bore the name "King of the Bootleggers'' cannot be grad- ed among the most desirable. THE LONG VIEW Bill was die-satiseled. He was twenty-one. His big brother was twenty-five that day. He was a business salesmen was that big brother. He had come home with a fine big car of the costly vintage and of the latest model. His clothes were of the best material and of the latest cut, He bad plenty of apendtng money and all the graces of modern life, D111 had Mat made a bargain with his father for so nuich wages per year and a definite share of the farm in ten years. Old Grime lace, the town lawyer had dawn up the agreement and there 1t was all snug and tight. 13111's clothes were migilty plain. He drove the family car once in a while, but the car was of ancient vintage and decidedly rheumatic, Bull cut no particular figure any- where "All 1 can do is work!'' was his self -cabana le. "Look here, B1111" its brother told 111111? My car le not paid tor. 'the company told 111e that I !roust have the right sort of car or they'd get another salesmen, The old hue 1 drove was but tt starlet', The way Cm going, when this car Is paid oc 1'11 be obliged to get. a new one, The *nine way With these clothes, The salve thing holds with every bit of my equipment..

NOTE AND COMMENT Minister for Municipal Affairs in Ontario says 'municipal credit is high, He could truthfully have said the same about our debts and taxes. ^ ^- Col. Drew says if he becomes Premier of Ontario he will pledge himself to honest government. Could, not that much be taken for granted? Children, should not be worried about stories of Santa Claus break- ing his leg. The old gentleman will be around as usual, come Christmas eve. Premier Chamberlain is going to make a visit to Mussolini early in the New Year and he may also call at Bernie Before he starts it will be necessary for him to find his umbrella. London, Ont., is going high -hat in that it now claims. the population of "Greater London" is 95,000, al- though it has to go out in the town- ship to reach that figure, The Ontario Government an- nounces it is not going to Interfere with the guardians of the menthe - lets. That puts the aforesaid guardians distinctly in the preferred class. Japan .is urged to speed up the making et munitions as a break with Rnssia is expected, .According to the ethics of war Russia should tackle Japan right away while that country Is tied up In China. Ontario's municipal credit is said to be at the highest peak in. years, That speaike well for the durability of the municipal tax- payer in view of the demands that relief has made upon civic treasuries.
