CANADA'S
WONDERFUL
PROSPERITY
Hardly a day passes now but some-
thing reveals an amazing growth of
prosperity. One day comes word of
promise of the greatest Western liar-
vest in years, another brings figures
of increasing bank deposits, and still
another of bouyant revenues and
growing production andtrade. The
latest evidence of this astonishing ex-
pansion is the growth of building
permits. In the first six months of
1928, according to statistics just is-
sued, building permits aggregated
nearly $102,000,000. During the
same period in 1621 they represent-
ed but $56,000,000.
The period between 1900 and 191i
has very often been called Canada's
"golden era." But Canada's pros-
perity and growth in those years were
as nothing in comparison with our
rate of progress now. Between 1900
and 1914 development of water pow-
er, for example, was comparatively
trivial. Our great pulp and paper
industry was but in its infancy; our
mines were underdeveloped and
yielding little; our trade but a bag-
atelle in comparison with today. In
all of these fields, since 1920, growth
has been all but marvellous. Our for-
ests, today, are producing wealth be-
yond anything we dreamed of, our
mines are among the richest in the
world; power is our second greatest
industry; our trade, railway traffic,
bank deposits, revenues, insurance
policies—everything that denotes ex-
pansion and prosperity, both for the
State and the individual—have grown
with bewildering speed. '
Take building permits as one il-
lustration. From 1924 onwards the
sir months' r,erord has grown steadily
from 66 to 79 to 81 to 102 millions.
Every province, with one exception,
reports a higher 'cote] for 1928 than
for the corresponding period of 1927.
And the end, we. may feel sure, is
not yet. Word conies from the
prairies of an abundant harvest be-
coming golden, a harvest which will
put hundreds of millions of additional
dollars into the pockets of our )lee.
stimulating industry, distributing
purchasing power, providing traffic
for our railways and ports, promoting
manufacture, providing employment
and wages and a higher measure of
prosperity for everybody in Canada.
Truly, this country has much for
which to .be thankful. We often
grumble and complain, and we mag-
nify our problems. Yet the fact is
'chat this land is a blessed one, a land
of opportunity for the humblest and
of shelter for the weakest; and in-
stead of complaining we should daily
thank Providence for the blessings
showered upon us.—Ottawa Journal.

OLD AGE
PENSIONS
Intimation has been given that, at
the next session of 'che Ontario Legis-
lature, this province will fall in line
with most of the other provinces of
the Dominion by enacting an Old
Age Pensions law. According to in-
formation gathered by the Social Ser-
vice Council of Canada, 'there are in
Ontario 118,000 persons over 70
years of age, of whom 01,260 would
be eligible for pensions. The cost
to the provincial government on this
basis would be 32,957,465. It seems
like a lot of money, but it could be
readily provided for out of the pro-
fit- of the Liquor Control Act. The

NO LONGER HOARDING.
Money Is Now Flowing Into India's
Savings Banks.
National savings figures in India
within the last decade show that a
large volume of capital which, for a
long time, never left the possession
of the owners, has now been flowing
into the savings departments of post
once and banks. The total amount
of deposits within that period is In
the neighborhood of 600,000,000
rupees,
Ten years ago post office deposits
stood at 165,000,000 rupees, while
last year they were 294,000,000. The
postal cash eertiflcates also record
rapid growth. From 88,000,000 ru-
pees ten years ago, the total at the
end of last year was 303,000,000.
Similar expansion marks the de-
posits with co-operative societies,
which a few years ago only amounted
to 20,000,000 rupees and at the end
of last year reached 187,000,000 ru-
pees, A large proportion of these de-
posits is drawn from the outlying ru-
ral areas, and a goodly portion of this
amount would have remained dor-
mant but for the energy of the co-
operative societies in penetrating In-
to the nooks and corners of rural
India•
Family Conununities Best,
Among the most prosperous, welle
ordered and happy communities in
the Canadian West are those which
have been built up by the gradual
settling of whole families, and others
near of kin, in one area. A good in-
stance of this, in a Canadian Pacific
district, 1s cited by J. N. K, Macalis-
ter, assistant commissioner of that
railway's department of colonisation
and development.
Eighteen years ago Hans Lausen of
Sleevig, Denmark. ',ought a half sec-
tion of land near what is nolo the
town of Carseland, Alberta, on which
he put up buildin,s and bc-gan farm-
ing. He nut only raised good grain
but a good, husky family of eleven
children, Mr. Lauren gradually ex-
tended his holdings and his sons, as
they grew up, purebased adjoining
properties, as did also the husbands
of the daughters, until the whole fam-
ily now farms 3,010 acres in almost
a solid block. In fact, eight of the
children, now grown up, possess 'anti
in the district.
"There atee many similar cases in
Western Canada," said Mr. Mao-
alister,
New Shipe For C. P. Fleet.
Costing over $20,®00,000, the ad-
dition to the Canadian Pacific fleet of
four magnificent "Duchess" shipe,'re-
preeente a record for any steamship
organization. So stated Wm. Baird,
steamship passenger traffic manager
of the Canadian Pacific. With the
completion of these ships the Atlan-
tic fleet will, in point of numbers,
speed, equipment and service, reaoh
a standard not hitherto attained
Canadian marine history.
As will be later revealed, he ex-
plained, these ships also give to Can-
ada the credit of new propulsion ar-
rangements which will be discussed
acutely within the next few months
In engineering circles throughout the
world.
'To Survey Western Lakes.
The Fort McMurray Board of

is pointed out that while there have

the north country a good deal of ig-

known that In Legend Lake there are
land -looked salmon and in Lake
Athabaska six speolee of troutand
three of whitefish, but a survey is
requested to reveal accurately the
territory's food fish and fish food.

A TRIBUTE TO CANADA
(Christian Srlellee Monitor)
Harsh things lntva been said about
the -courts of the United Status, The
country needs al Charles Dickens to
sting it 1u'co indignation of depictiic
and humanizing, once and for all, Om
tragedies that dilatory justice and
criminality still represent. The 'ap-
palling high American homicide rata
stop, abruptly :it the Canadian lino.
Why'' Primarily because the public
in Canada has assayed. simply and
informally, all the values of national
existence incl has decided that 1t the
very top of civic virtues are respect
for law and obedience to ic; and be-
cause from this feeling has grown 0
somewhat simpler legal machinery.
Thi, machinery itoclf is unimportant
excerpt as it expresses the view be-
hind it, It is unthinkable that the
'United States can remain apathetic
in view of recorded criminal condi-1
tions, or allow any of its ' courts to
continue to administer sluggish jus-
tice.

MIGHT AND MEEKNESS
(Christian Science Monitor) I
It cannot truthfully be said that
the human race, as ct whole, has
evinced much enthusiasm over the
quality of meekness, It has gener-
ally been considered a weak, if not a
negative, characteristic; and the word
has acquired an unpleasant suggest-
iveness not borne out by such dict-
ionary synonyms as "self-controlled
and gentle; unpretentious." Meek-
ness thus appraised becomes some-
thing greatly to be desired and striven
for. It is realized in proportion 110
one gives up the false mortal sense
of self, with all its circumscribed ma-
terial traits. Tho nearer one gets to
God in his 'chinking, the more clearly
thought reflects the qualities of God
—health, joy abundance, perfection.
Such an attitude of thought would
heal sensitiveness, a prolific source of
mental suffering. Sensitiveness,
which masks as self -depreciation, is
in a very positive sense egotism; and
true meekness, true selflessness, a-
lone can heal it. Many a splendid
effort has been clouded by the re-
trospective fear that one did not ap-
' pear well or to advantage on a given
occasion. True meekness would pre-
vent such suffering. Humble grati-
tude to God for the privilege of serv-
ing mankind in any capacity, selless
love, honesty, and the expectation of �
improvement in ,our work, will re-
move the fear of not doing well in
the sigh of men.
In all our contacts with others,
meekness — self-control, gentleness,
unpretentiousness-- will be found to
make for harmony, helpfulness, and
peace. And in all our problems, 11
we are thinlcing in conformity with
divine Mind instead of with ortal
sense, we shall prove the truth to be
,victorious over every phase of evil.
Encourage Local Fair.
Everyone cannot get to 'the great
national exhibition or have something
' exhibited. And even if they might it
would not supeecocle the county and
township fair. The worth of the
smaller fairit depends
eathe
number
of the exhibitors and of their ex-
hibits, The quantity and quality of
the exhibits determine the worth of
the fair. No producer should hes-
itate to bring his produce to the fair
if it is good even though he cannot
win the first or second prize. No
farm should fail to have samples of
its hest at the fair for the encourage-
ment of each other and of them-
selves. Make yoflr local fair a sue -
sass.
