Th:e promise is ' explicit, "Forglvo and ye shall be forgiven " —Christian Science Monitor. 'At a recent discussion sof the For- eign Policy Association lir Iticw York our the smbjeet, "The European Quandary," 'both speakers painteadi a grave and depressing picture of the present condition of Europe. The war mentality, so they claimed, has not passed away. European nations are, • fob the most paa:t, ranged on either side of. the l Ti`esties of Ver- eailles,• St. Germain, Trianon and Ne'uilly. Fear, harts and resentment are rampant. According to such evi- dence, if there is any one word which elrauld' be written across Europe in letters of fire today, it is the word "forgive." Int an atmosphere ,of forgiveness of old grudges between nations, reason and justice would find a sail in which they night once again assert themselves to richt present ills and adjust .stubborn dif- ficulties. But we are practical, realists, eameone may say. We do not live in a world of such idealistic hopes.

Salted alewives from Canada were expcirtedr last year to sixteen differ- ent countries, which is another way of saying that these countries were purchasers. of salted or pickled ale- wives processed in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It is only in Mari- time Province waters that alewives are taken commercia•'ly, and the small catch landed by Prince Edward Island last year was all marketed', £reel,. The alewife by the way, is one of the Canadian fishes which inhabit both, salt water and fresh water. Keown bo the scientist by the name of Pomolobus pseudeliarengus, and popularly called gaapereau as well as alewife, the fish is of blueish col- our with silvery sidles. and is vat. legated with dark stripes. It is not one of the moat valuable of the Doninicat's fishes, judged front the standpoint of dollars and cents, but the yearly catch is worth more than $100,000 on the matted, In 1930, a year when prices were not very fav- ourable, the landings of alewives had a total marketed value of a little more than $112,600. The Nova Seta eneduction accounted for $37,- 780 of this total and the New Bruns- wick output for a.obut $73,500. Last year's value will be somewhat less than the total for 1980. titrihile sallied alewifes were exported to sixteen countries last year the sales to Jamaica were much the larg- est, o' 16,609 hundredweights. The United States purchase°rf 10,616 hun- dredweights. Haiti • and Dutch Gu- iana each purchased more than 2,400 Hundredweights, and there were sub- shantial saes. tot..

Advertisements Make Newspapers Possible We heard of one resident of the Stone Town who cancelled his stib- scription because the ':paper carried too many ads.

In the first glimmer of returning consciousness, Total Eclipse of Sun will Last 100 Seconds An opportunity for Canadians to view from a convenient point a total eclipse •ate the sun, and ane which will not be repeated for 22 years, will be provided on August 31 next, when the path of tatality will run in a southeastern direction through the Province 'of Quebec, a few miles east of Parent, in the northern part of the province. The zone of totality is roughly 100 miles wide, but for 'scientific pur- poses it is desirable to be located as closely as possible to the eentnal line. Originating in the Arctic regions, the shadow will sweep down across- Hud- son udson Bay, skirt the eastern shore -of James Bay, and cross the St. Law- rence near Makinonge and Pierreville some 50 miles east of Montreal. Mon- treal itself will be on the western edge of the shadow zone. The duration of the eclipse is a- bout 100 seconds, the shadow travel- ling at the rate of half a •mile a second. The last to be observed as total in Canada occurred on Jan. 25, 1925, when the path of totality swept across Western Ontario, ever the Ni- agara River and southwest to the At.
