PLEADS FOR YOUNG
Mr. George MoCullagh of the
Globe and Mail, has given his, third
Weiss 0(1 the Canadian situation.
So far he has said nothing to so
burn up the air as to warrant the
0330 from putting him on an'
'Indian list' Sunday of last week he
made a strong appeal on behalf et
the thousand's of unemployed
young men, those upon whom the
future of Canada depends. He
emphasized that they were being,
neglected, that while political lead-
ers argued a solution of the dit
flcul:ty was. not reached. He called
for ,the'elimlaatfon of political wel-
fare and the placing of the nation's'
ills -relief and railway operations,.
in the forefront. He went fur-
ther. Me called for a national
government which would unitedly
set to work to "rid: our once
ambitious and purposq'ul young
nation of the muddling, mess and
misery to which it has' been reduc
ed by the cancerous sores and
the so far incompetent diagnosis
and treatment 'of them."
Mr. McCullagh threshed a lot of
old straw, nevertheless he brought
out many truths that cannot but
give food, for serious thought on the
part of the public. Be as prejudic-
ed as one may againet this young
111311, it must be admitted that he
has, the courage of his conwiotlons.
He le telling a paralyzed nation that
it is paralyzed and that unless
there is a new vision, a new hope, a.
new force of action there is little
ahead except ultimate ruin. His
ie but a suggestion, nevertheless
in these days suggestions have
more than a common value. Mr.
McCullagh is undoubtedly concern-
ed as all Canadilants might well be
as to the future of their Dominion.

The main aim 01 the weekly

to give news of its own district, It

give the merchants a cbance to tell
of their goods in its colunms or to
try to influence public opinion
through its editorials, but first et
all it must give the news. Soma
of this news is not easily obtained
and no editor can cover it all with.
out assestanoe. Especially is this
true when you have visitors. Many
of the ladies think that personals
are the most interesting reading
in tne whole palter. Your visitors
are usually glad to have their name
appear, to send them In. •Sonletine-3

sion. that they are asking a favor
when they want us to insert the
names, of their friends who hays

way about giving us newsitems for
we are indeed glad to get them. all.

HEADED FOR
FAILURE
Dr, K. P. R. Neville, registrar of
to Univergnty of Western Ontario,
admits 11e runs a task which the does
not pant•cularly enjoy. The results
of the half-year examinations at
the university Save been, made
known and those who have fallen
too low will be informed trey will
have to leave school. Those: who
come below the 60 per cent, mark
in half the subjects go in that
classification, although excerptions
are made in the case of Whelan
whom the 'faculty believe: can do
better,
Dr. Neville explains that those
who are taken out by that process
are not fitted for undvensity train -
Ing. They would never make a
success in the work they are trying
to follow, It is interesting to
learn that a number of such stu-
dents never had a clear-cut idea of
wihy they started work at the uni-
verstty, Some of then caste along
for .the soofal activities and . never
had any intention of doing sei4ous
worn, and thee will be as great It
problem to their parents as they
harve been to the university, They
can be "spotted" within a week cr
so and the school is glad enough
when the time comes to see them
depart, In this asecntment a
found the clowns and the cut -Ups.
the smelt chaps and SO on, and the
registrar adenits things' go on mucn
better after they have departed' as
they are never a credit to the place
Experience of other years has
00113inced Dr, Neville ,that there
will always be the same outlook on
time past of these scholars, They are,
always. granted a personal inter-
view, when it is explained to them
that they should try something else
in life, and always ..there are the
same 311SWOrs from the departing
students. There are some who wilt
have recourse to a few tears, others
will be abusive, but the majority
say "I've always been picked on
anyway" There le not likely to be
one in the entire group who will
admit that 11e is at fault or that he
has mulled his chance through his
own nonsense. Always is the blame
elsewhere, and a young man' : who Is
stating out with that feeling Is
due for a rough journey and a poor
one. He +bras the ingredients of
failure in 1iin1 in large measure.
The sad part Is that the •check-up
he received at the uuiverslty will
not serve its Lull ,purpose. It will
not cause him to see that the cause
of his trouble is himself,

Canadian Pacific Extends Air':Conditioned Service
The Canadian Pacific Rahway
Angus Shops at Montreal aro
humming with activity those days
as the Company continues its
comprehensive programme of air-
conditioning. In the current year,
air-condltoning equipment will
be added to 136 care, including
standard sleepers, dining cars,
tourist sleepers, parlor cars, and
day coaches, and these, in addle
thin to the 130 cars air-condition-
ed in 1936, will permit a very
crenaiderable extension of air-con-
ditioned services throughout the
Dominion.
Provision is made by the 1937
programme to provide air-con-
ditioned dining cars on ail trains
carrying air-conditioned sleepers
teat parlor can, Imelda. additional
sleeping and parlor cars for use
on trains between Montreal and
Quebec, 3fontreal and Ottawa,
Toronto and Ottawa, and trains
39 and 40 between Montreal and
Saint John, N.B. Air-condition-
ing of tourist cars for use on the
transcontinental trains between
Vancouver and Montreal and Tor-
onto is a new and interesting lea,
tare of the 1937 programme. This
will supplement lest year's ser-
vices which allowed air-condition-
ed standard sleepers, compart-
ment -lounge, bedroom and parlor
cars to be used on transcontinen-
tal trains between Montreal, 'I'or-
rento, and Vancouver; the Mont-
real, Toronto, Hamilton, Chicago
services; and the night trains be-
tween Montreal and Beaten air.
Qn
conditioned sleepers and lounge
cars were also provided for the
"Mountaineer". service between
Chicago, St. Paul, and Vancouver.
Some idea of the work connect-
ed with air-conditioning is given
by the pictures above. Cars are
stripped, as in lower right, and
insulated to keep out heat, cold,
and dust. The pictures at the
left show some of the material
being placed in the cars. The
satisfaction written all over the
face of the young lady, in "Lower
6," expresses the public's feelings
toward this new type of control-
lod comfort. In the centre 1a t
