M., to the Wellington Rifles. Red Two -Cent Stamps. Several letters were rezeived in the Post office last week bearing red two -cent stamps. Ase red two -cent stamps were supposed to be as ex- tinct as the dodo, an inquiry was made at the postoffice about it. No official word has been received at the office here, but there lute been inti- mation given that the color of the two -cent stamps would be changed from green to red as i1 was in the clays "befo' the war." The Mails During Christmastide. The postoffice department is urg- Mg that Christmas mail, be forward- ed Earlier t ban usual this year. Christmas day falls upon Saturday, and unless the mail reaches many places by Thursday night, ',..hey will not reach their friends on rural routes, as there will be no delivery on Saturday, and Sunday following, th,us presents would not be delivered until Monday. In the cities prac- tically the same condition exists, as the postmen only make an early de- livery. Early mailing of Christmas gifts is sensible any year, but it is quite necessary this year to ensure delivery on time. It also greatly facilitates business at the varmus post offices.

This has been done without unduly burdening employers by spreading the cost of these accidents over the ind.ustries in the various classes set up by the Workmen's Compensation Board. Itis interesting to note that of the six Provinces in Canada in which there are Compenntion Boards, Ontario, being more 'moor - tent industrially, pays out by far the largest sum each year. In this Pro- vince the maximum weekly award which can be made is $25,334 which represents two-thirds of the maxi- mum of $2,000 per annum on which compensation can be paid under the Ontario Act. The benefits to injur- ed workers or their dependente in Ontario are extremely liberal. In New York State, for instance, the maximum award possible is $20 nor week or more than 20% less than can be awarded in this Province., al- though the costs to industry in New York State are in the main higher than in Ontario. This is doubtless due to several factors, one being thc efficient administration of the Work- men's Compensation Act by the On- tario Board and, another the con- stant campaign against accidents which is being carried on in a large percentage of the plants under com- pensation here. Costs, however. of five and a' half or six million dollars per annum, as we have had in On- tario for the past several years must continue to focus the attention of industry on an extension of the acci- dent prevention work being done. Making Christmas Sane. There are two bits of advice which it is folly to ignore in this season. The one is, "Do Your Christmas Shopping Early," and "Send Your Christmas Mail Early" is the second. Careless people heed neithee, but if the, observance of both is proof of rare wisdom then the world is be- coming wiser. lt was but a few years ago that the major portion of Christ- mas shopping was done during Christmas week and the Christmas rush in the mails did not begin until the eleventh hour. The result was that unfavorable shopping eonditions and congested mails ruined Christ - i0111 Day for countless theusands. How much saner and how much more satisfactory for all concerned are the modern practices of start- ing the gift -buying season a month. before Christmas and of starting the gifts through the mails in ample time to insure ' their' punctual delivery.

TOURIST TRAVEL TO OUR NATIONAL PARKS Increase in Number of Visitors Dur- ing 1926 -Rocky Mountain Re- sorts Popular The 1926 summer season witness- ed the establishment of new records in the number of persnns visiting Canadian National Parks. As the value and importance of these great I scenic and recreational reserves be- come better known to the people of Canada, the United States and other parts of the world, each succee '.:ng season brings a greater influx of visi- tors. While this increase has been gen- eral it has been most noticeable in the matter of motor tourists. Ad- vances made in the automobile in- dustry and in construction of good roads have brought corresponding act- vances in the growth of motor travel until this traffic has become of great importance -in the development of the country. Highways play an important part in :drawing a large number of the tourists wbo visit Banff and Kooten- ay National Piteks,by inoto. Through the Kananaskie gateway, which is the eastern entranee to Banff park, and the Radium Hot Springs gateway, which is the eastern entrance to Banff Park, there passes .each year the greater part of the motor traflia to the Canadian Parks in the Rock- i('s. The volume of travel whieh poured' into hese two parks by motor is shown by the registrations. At the Kananaskis gateway. at the end oil I October 18,069 motet. cars had been , registered as incoming; at, Radium Hot Springs gateway, 6,503 entries were recorded, making a total of 24,- 6132 cars entering.' the two parks. This number shows an inceease of 5,780 over the 18,882 entries record- ed in 1925, Waterton Lakes National park, in southern Alberta on the Tnternation. al Boundary, drew an innoune of tourist travel in excess of that re- corded in 1925. The possibilitiee of this scenic wonderland are accentu- ated by the plans for extensive de- velopment announced in 1926. The opening, in June, 1926, of the motor mad Pxt-rision from Lolen Louise to Field brought !Yoh.) Nt- tional Park for the first time into prominence in the motor tourist world. The further extension of this road which will enable Motorists to proceed through to Golden, is ex- pected to be opened to travel eerly in 1927. Traversing Yoha park and thence leading on to Golden, along the Columbia river to the junction with the Banff -Windermere Highway, this newest motor way opens up a field which is wonderfully rich in scenic resources and has hitherto been unknown except to travellers by pack. train. Jasper National park, in the nor- thern part of Alberta, had a most euccessful season, nearly 7,000 hotel registrations having been recorded prior to the end of October. Thie great playground is rapidly finding wider favor with the tourist public as the steady growth in di.e number of visitors attests. The National Buffalo park at Wainwright, Alberta, drew more vis- itors than in former years. A very keen interest is being taken in all countries, particularly in Canada And. the United States, in the efforts, of the Canadian Government to pre- serve the buffalo and alao in the mt- periments that are being conducted at Buffalo park in cross -breeding. Reports received from the smaller parks follow those of the larger re- servations. A larger ninber of per- sons than in 1925 visited Fort Anne National Park, Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. The recreatioind re- serves comprising the St. Lawrence Islands parks were also very popular during the summer.

In Ottawa on Nov. let the "Father" of our own House, Mr. Speaker Lemieux, also fill 0111 .i01.1101^ ;WA fuld a similar celebration on at - tattling the age of 110. -Thirty cif those yeare-exactly one half of his life -have been spent in Peril ',meet When the Sixteenth Parliament of Canada meets - on December 0111 he wili re-elected to the same offiee he has 11.'1(1 in the Fourten th and Fifteenth Parliaments. I first saw Rodolphe Lemieug at a political gathering hi' Gases., Quebec, away back in '06. As a very young man he had 'just come from amilemit triumphs at Ottawa and Laval uni- versities, and ii! lime:tripes liveliheed ' in law and journalism, to launch out int() political life, Hf! ellest01 no env road to success, for Gaspe, in those far days, was a stronghoki of the Bleus, E. 3. Flynn, eon of a Perim fisherman, had risen to be Pre- mier of Quebec, and Gaspe, proud of the eminence of her native ism, fol- lowed hie Con,servative banner with warm and persistent devotion. More- over, those were the clays when the Church flourished its mitre intainet the Rouges. The Bishops, disecreing little difference between political and Catholic Liberalism, marshalled in solidarray in support of remedial legislation, and no Liberal candhlate in '90, appeared 4afe in anv part of the province. Lemieux, however, won a dose victory. Fiery in his eloquence. en- gaging in personality, a favorite of the great Laurier himself, he capti- vated the Gaspe fishermen. It 'wee among notable Liberal triumphs in that memorable, historic campa go. For Moen years thereafter Lem- ieur's star wa.: steadily !.n tiiasc dant. Solicitor -General, Mininter of Labor, Postmaster General, envoy ex- traordinary to foreign ands, right band of Laurier in 'Quebec, parlia- mentary orator -few had achieved the summit of fame with such seem- ingly effortless ease. He was the in- timate of Laurier. Other men had the "Chief's" ear, but none to the ex- tent of Lemieux. The two were al- most constantly together, in the Corn - mons, on the platform, in Sir Wil- frid's library, in political campaigns. And in many ways they were iden- tical. Both had dabbled in polttical journalism. They were both stu- dents of oratory. Both were lovers of literature. Lemieux's Liberalism was less ro- bust than Laurier's. Sir Wilfrid was often reactionary, but he walked backwards toward it, while Lemieux, who would have been a Whig in England and a Royalist in France, showed a temperamental affection for Toryism. He would qnote Bright and Fox and O'Connell with revels encs, but in the next breath he would voice sentiments that would have quickened the, pulse of Disraeli. At an orator Mr. Letnieux stood, and still stands, in the forqront of his contemporaries. On the plat - f01111 (where it was my misfortune once to meet him as an antagonist) he Is tempestuous, fiery, onreehing stirring the mob witit his passion, beating down opposition with a tor- rential flow of eloquence. In the House he adopts a more rapiered, powdered style, charming wir ap- prating imagery, swaying' I! t'at choicest rhetoric, captivating aa artistry of words that enrich »..1itt- 'limitary literature. Lemieux's greatest triumph on the platform 11118 when, in the campaign cf 1911, he met and silencer: Henri Bourassa. Up to that time the No, tionalist chieftain, famed as an ora- tor, was universally feared ,upen the hustings. When he met Lemieux at St. Hyacinthe in great open air "Assemble Contradictoire," fi [leen thousand people gathered from the countryside to witness the •luel. Lem- ieux, that day, achieved a aeignt of eloquence that he had never before attained. Long before he had com- pleted his oration the vast erowd had been captured for Laurier; and when toward the end, he pointed his tingca' at Bourassa and accused hint of jeal- ousy toward his old leader, of a de- sire for spite and revenge, of little- ness in his public character, the Na- tionalist cause had been put tr. flight in St. Hyacinthe. Lemieux's finest oratorical time • in the COMMOnS NITA his panegyric on Laurier. For half an hour the House sat hushed as he spoke with poignancy and beauty 'of the life and achievements of his. dead Piglet His peroration may be here quoted as an exampleof his style: "We say farewell and we thank you, We thank you for tho shining memento whieh you have bequeath:1.1 to the historian at large.

Adieu!" With the passing of Laurier the light went out of politics for Lem- ieux. There was no longer it "white plume" to follow; and altheugh he remained in the Comments the tones of his silver eloquence were but r.s.1- don1 heard. There were etoriee that Lemieux could not bring himself to serve in a cabinet under Mr, King. It was said that he was tried of the toil and strife of practical politics; .11111••• that he was anxious te retire t hi 111 )1117 and his books A3 to the truth of these stories, one cermet tell, but Mr. Lemieux took the Speakership instead of a post '0 the Ministry-. What honor could one ask higher than first Commoner in the land? As Speaker, Mr. Lemieux has been a picturesque figure. Parlia- ment has seen more learned Speak- ers, more profound Speakers; It has st en none more colorful in personal- ity, or who fitted 'more naturally into he role. For Lemieux, although 11.• bee made mistakes (some feNV of them :seemed inexeusable in it num of lie gifts) is imbued with the Par- liamentary tradition; a lover of ar- chaic ceremony and forms; a student of House of Commons ritual -the "Grand Seigneur" in politics. And to the end he has remained the journalist. Now, as of old, his hand leaps lightly to his pen; hie spare time is spent on a new life of Laurier; and in the Press Gallery he is always at home. Public life has seen few figures with more of chal- lenging appeal.
