The little maiden is now doing as well as can be expected. Mr. J. Taylor has had the house A CANADIAN MILITIA An Open. Letter to R. J. Deachman In the Toronto Saturday Night Dear R. J.; Your Liberal platform for saving Canada deservedly v.'on Saturday Night's prize. But may I continue my argument with you on your 'solu- tion of the railway problem. This letter has undergone revision since the war began. Perhaps you have also mentally' revised your plat- form, for you will agree that it is now our patriotic duty„ to snake sure that we have the most efficient -and least wasteful •—i form of railway transportation. Your patriotism, hon- esty and good sense cannot have seen anything better than the unified management which Senator Meighen so lucidly explained. As a genuine patriot, if you know anything better, you will tell us. You apparently are afraid of uni- fied management because you fear a large railway monopoly. I am not afraid of this in these days because other land transport has arisen and because, as C. W. Peterson of the Farm and Ranch Review' told the Senate controls rates and services. On your own side of politics there is Senator Buchanan of Lethbridge —the centre of an area never served by more than one railway --Who told the Senate that he did not fear monopoly. "More Earnest" However, you believe what you believe. If we don't have what is practically unified management for war purposes --the thing we should have at once is that "more earnest" and whole -hearted co-operation which is the policy both of your party and of the official Opposition in the Com- mone. Will you use your great influence to bring about co-operation wherever practicable? I suggest. (a) Immediate stoppage of the needless and wasteful expenditure of public money 'On the Montreal terminal, a terminal which will add to the deficits of the Canadian Na- tional without enhancing either prestige or traffic. (b) Pooling of express and tele- graph •services. There you cannot fear monopoly, for express compan- ies carry nothing that trucks or the postoffice cannot carry, and tele- graph companies perform no service that telephones and airmail cannot perform. There has been some attempt to fasten on the privately -owned rail- way the blame for the failure of co- operation so far to effect material savings. As a erivate taxpayer I (London. Free Press) Canada shouldbe justly proud of the way her young men have re- sponded to the call. The two divisions authorized have been recruited in the alloted time. Credit for the efficient way mobilization has been carried on is largely due to the Canadian militia. All serious-minded - citizens ap- preciate the gravity of the taslr fac- ing us, and are prepared to make whatever sacrifices that may be necessary to aid Canada and the British Empire, The Canadian militia offers the op- portunity to young men of the right type and of military age to prepare themselves as soldiers in both com- missioned: and non-commissioned ranks, and prepare themselves for the time when additional units will be mobilized. Training in the non -per- manent active militia during the winter period is carried on in the evenings and in some cases over weekends, which affords those enlist- ing the • opportunity of becoming trained, and at the same time per- mitting them to carry on their civil occupation. Medical requirements are the same as required by those joining the Can- adian, active service force and train- ing is carried on along the same lines. We cannot advise young men too strongly to take advantage of the opportunity afforded by the Canadian militia. There are two powers op- posing' the ;Hitler, machine—the .Bri- tish F„4npire and France, Should these'twe powers fail,then the world as we have known it passes away. Something revengeful, inhuman and wholly oppositeto that system of living we nowenjoy, and to, attain which our ancestors — and we our- selves sacrificed much, will suc- ceed: would approve any government s bringing the privately -owned comp- any . to time if ; they could honestly be convicted of that crime against the nation and against their own shareholders. But Senator Hugessen, also of your party, failed to see the G.P.R. was responsible for the lath,. ure. Senator Meighen challenged anyone to produce any evidence to show that there was any ' basis of truth in the charge. Montreal Terminal Without renouncing my amateur standing as a student and observer, I would say that I gain find nothing to show that the C.P.R. has failed to co-operate when given the op- portunity. I don't see why they would. They would save as a big taxpayer and they would save in their own operating expense. And every co-operative step would be a step toward the unification which that company believes in. On the other hand, there is the insistence by the C.N.R. that it wants. its own station. in Montreal; that is evidence that the C.N.R. is not in favor of ec-operation. A further clear evidence is their failure to negotiate with the Montreal Telegraph Comp- any with a view of perchase of that company's shares, which would have- removed averemoved the only real obstacle to a pooling of telegraph lines, The C. N. R. is a department of government, Your platform, if it be- came the platform of a future Lib- eral ' government, would compel that department of government to attain what you call a "new perspective in management." Failure to do so is to admit that this department of gov- ernment already is stronger than the elected government. This suggests that we could not be any worse off than we are now if your worst fears as to a powerful railway monopoly came to pass. L really ani one of your admirers and would consider myself fortunate if I lived in your constituency and had an opportunity to vote for a candidate such as yourself. So please do not ;think that this letter is other than . a frank and outspoken chal- lenge to you to live up to the prin- service he, preached on the The ciples you have laid down in your' Church in a Warring World,"' using platform.

SEPTEMBER Is fair time and I'll wager that mighty few of you. have given any thought to this angle of snapshooting. Right? Hon- estly, the fall fair or exhibition offers more possibilities' for snapshooting than space will permit telling about. There's the side-show band with its battered instruments letting forth loud blasts of discordant music. And there are the not so clean -looking venders of dolls, trick gadgets, bal- loons and various other things of questionable value. Everywhere you turn is a subject for good human in- terest nterest pictures. But let's look toward the more serious side of the fair -the exhibits, for instance. By making intelligent use of your camera you can snap, record pictures that may later prove invaluable. Then there is the judg- ing of ca ttle, sheep, horsesand hogs. If the judging is done in an open-air ring you can get the picture of the winner of the blue ribbon with any camera—box type or folding. In taking such pictures, or any picture, as far as that Is concerned, don't just look in the finder and snap the first thing you see. Ti the animal being judged has any un- usual markings, manage to get to a place near the .ring where these markings show upthe best in your finder. Try, too, to avoid unattrae- tine backgrounds such as telephone poles, wires or sheds. Among the innumerable picture possibilities at the fair you will surely want to take some action pic- tures and a Pair isn't complete without the thrill of horse racing whether they feature the veteran driver proudly seated in his sulky or the young, dare -devil jockey. Snapa picture of the start of the, race as the drivers or Jockeys, maneuver their horses to the barrier or starting post and by all means. take your position at the turn of the, track as the horses dash perilously around the curve and into the "home streteb." Remember this, however. If you. do not have a camera with a very- fast shutter, say one that will op - crate at 1/500 of a second or faster,. don't try to, snap a rapidly moving object as it whizzes directly across, the lens of the Camera ordirect line• of vision. Your chance of getting a. good, sharp picture is much greater if YOU catch your subject at ant angle of about 45 degrees, It's al whys better to play safe than, tth take' a chance and perhaps get a blurred picture. Load your camera and take along plenty of extra film on that eventful' day when you. are "oft to the fair." 211 John van Guilder
