(Toronto Star) It is to be 'hoped that the warmth of feeling toward Quebec which has been generated in Ontario by the election results will not too quickly evaporate. I.t would be a fine thing for Canada if it were to become per- manent. If such is to be the case, Ontario people will have to seek an under standing of the Quebec outlook, the Quebec viewpoint. It is in some re- spects different from our own, for these people are chiefly of another race. Outside the great industrial centres they are perhaps mot so mod- el as the in •bits of Ontario; mod- ern _ ha nts O , they do not move at so fast a pace; their minds and habits' are more leis. urely than .ours. They savor life slowly, and the hard practical On- tario man finds this difficult to un ders and. It does not occur to hint that he,' in his haste, may miss In life some of the things which" he ought to be enjoying. It does not do to presume that Quebec has nothing to teach her sister province. The main thing is to study her viewpoint ,sympathetically and with- out prejudice.' This will not neces- sarily mean agreement but itwill mean something equally important, a sympathetic understanding. There is na reason why these two provinces should, so to speak, glare at each other, as they sometimes appear to do. They have many things in: com- mon, and each can learn something of value from the other. So the kindly spirit which has been engendered by the election should not be permitted to evaporate. Let us have, by all means, an Ontario -Que- bec axis, not directed against other provinces or against the federal auth- ority, but for the cultivation of mutual friendship and goodwill, and for the successful prosecution of the great task whieh lies before the na- tion in this war. HYDRO CONTRACT PERPETUAL ONE Announcement of Commission Head to Goderich Group Chairman Doubts Feasibility of Maitland River Scheme GODERICH, Nov. 5—Contracts of Ontario municipalities with the Hydro - Electric Power Commission for supplies of power are perpetual; there is no fixed expiration' date for the reason that municipalities are bound by contracts made by the R. E. P. 0. subsequent to the signing of their own agreements. This, in effect, is what Dr. Hogg, chairman, of the H. E. P. C., told a Goderich P. U. C. delegation. to Tor- onto, Mayor MecEwan told the Town Council. His worship said that he and fellow -members of the P. U. C., and citizens generally had for years been under the impression. that Gode- rich's contract with the H.E.P.C. was for 30 years only and was due to expire in 1942. For that reason the delegation had gone to Toronto, only to be disillusioned. "I have been a member of many deputations, but I never got a more friendly or courteous receptionin my life than we received from. Dr. Hogg and his board," said the mayor. "He told us the dates on our contract with the H.E,P.C. had no significance whatever, that there was nothing in it to say when' it should be termin- ated." Dr. Hogg was quoted as admitting Goderich had a $110,000 equity in hydro, but if the town wished to withdraw from the hydro family, it could not collect. Dr. Hogg had said that the H.E,P.C. did not wish to be arbitrary or use a big stick and had to send engineers here to make a survey to see if cheaper power than hydro could be developed locally •-_ but under hydro auspices — Diesel, steam, with by-products of salt, or by the construction of a dam on the Maitland River. The hydro chairman had told the delegation that he was thoroughly familiar with the Goderich situation. He gave it as his opinion that the capital cost of constructing a dam on the Maitland River capable of taking care of the high-water mark of the spring freshets would be too great, considering the local market for power, If Clinton, Seaforth and rural area were included, it might be just- ified. He sand that a market for 100,000 horse -power would have to be found to justify a steam plant. Dr. Hogg reminded the deputation that in 1914 Goderich paid $64.21 per horsepower to hydro, and in 1938 paid only $35.24, allowing for the 13th power bill credits. He thought the commission should get some credit. As yet no way of putting the zoning plan -into effect had been found. Mayor Ma.cEwaar said the P, U. C. Would make a fuller report on its visit to Toronto. • AIR-RAID SHELTERS ON TIME PAYMENTS . A new development in air-raid pre. cautions appeared recently when it was announced that backyard shelt- ers could be purchased by the public en an, installment plan in London,, England. , The shelters can be bought out- right or on: a monthly -payment plans at costs ranging from about $27 to $40, depending on the size. This week, we are called upon to chronicle the death of the late James • McClinahey, of , Hensel;, who; passed away at his hoane here on 'Wednes- day last, following an illness of two. weeks' duration, during whieh time he was confined to his room. Al- though he had beep in. poor health for some months past, he was able to be around and fulfill his duties, but the end carne on Wednesday morning when he passed peacefully away. Mr. McClinchey, who was in his • 72nd year, was born on the Goshen" Line, where; he farmed for many years be, fore moving: to 11ensail some years ago. He was a kind husband and loving -father, a kind neighbor, and will be much missed' by his widow, family and neighbors and friends from' Masai' and district. Surviving are his widow, three sons, Garnet, of Seaforth; Edgar and Beverley, at hone; two daughters, Mrs. Manley Mai, Mensal]; Mrs. Jack Tinaiey; of Hay township; two brothers, George of Hensally and Johan, of the Goshen, and one sister, Mrs. Edward John - sten, of Clinton. The funeral, which was private, was, held from his late residence an Friday afternoon at 2 p.m., when Rev. R. A. Brook, pastor of Hensall United Church, officiated. Favorite hymns of the deceased were sung during the service, "Safe in the Arms at Jesus" and "Take My Life and Let It Be." Assisting with the singing "were Rev. Mr.' Brook, Miss Greta Lawn mie, Miss Helen Smale, and Mrs. Maude Hedden. The floral tributes were lovely. The pallbear- ers were friends and neighbors of the deceased from the Goshen Line: Lorne and William Armstrong, Robt. and Orville McClinchey, Lloyd Daw- son and David Stephenson. Inter- ment was in Bayfield cemetery. At- tending the funeral from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Peter Zettle, Mrs. Fred Grayson, Mr. and Mrs, Harry Grayson and Fred Grayson, all of London.—Huron Expositor. PET DOG HELD IN TRAP BY PAW FOR FIVE DAYS "Judy," the retreiver dog belonging to the Burchill boys, was missing, and although Peter took a half-day off from school, failed to find her. On Sunday when the Allen boys were walking up the river in a bush close by, they found "Judy." She had step- ped into a trap and was held there for five days. The boys carried her to their home ~where she is being kindly treated, with the hope that she will not lose her foot.—Brussels Post; STOVEPIPES FIFTY-THREE YEARS OLD STILL IN USE Last week we told you of the two stovepipes at Bert Ward's home that are 43 years old. We'd have bet a silk hat that they would set a records for age. But they don't. In. fact there merely in their "infancy" for this week Mrs. Sam Durnin, eastreof the village, tells us of several lengthy of s'tosiepip,e at her home that are 53 years old and still in good condition They too were bought at Thomas Lawrence's, and therein may be the screen - Probably Mr. Lawrence had a special formula for stovepipe mak- ing. These pipes were bought by Mrs. Durnin's parents Mr. and Mrs. John Gaunt when they moved from the farm to their home in St. Helene, now owned by Mr. and Mrs, Robinson Woods. Mrs. Gaunt was fond of plants and `flowers and had a great many of them. They required heat during the winter months, and for their protection Mrs. Gaunt set up four stoves in their new home, three of which were used all winter. The stovepipes still in use at Mrs. Duo. Win's home were among those bought at that time.—Lucknow Sentinel. Who Were The Canadian Soldiers We cannot forget the slaughtering of 60,000 of our young Canadians: in the ,Creat Warr nor the :maiming of an additional 173,000. It: does not make us hate other mations for they, too, lost heavily in man power, but it does force, us to, realize that men: can be made to hate each other. But when the cosmopolitan nature of Canada's war dead is considered., we know that different; races, creeds, and tongues can live as brothers. Canada is a land of many racial origins. ' The Census Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics gives 23 racial origins iCanada. The � largest group is British, then French, German, Scandinavian and :Ukrainian, follow in order. When" thewar of 1914-18 broke out, theie various races rallied to the flag of their adopted land. There were 156,000 English -born, 47,000 Scots, 36,000 Americans, 19,- 000 Irish, 5,000 Welsh and 8,000 New. foundlaaiders. The enliattment in Canada of 1,200 Australians, 1,100 from British India, and 3,000 othere from British South Africa, New Zeal- and, British Guiana, Tasmania, Fiji, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Malta, the Falkland Islands and Aden; was rath- er remarkable. Among the recruits were men from most of the islands of tpie West Indies and others from seventy-five 'outlying spots in British Africa; along with 350 natives of South Arniericanl coslntries, who claimed British ancestry. In addition to the Empire -barn and American -born, there were 23,000 ma - dries of continental Europe in the Canadian army. There were over 7,000 Russian -born and close to 6,000 Scandinavians, 2,000 from Austria- Hungary, 2,000 from Italy, 1,500 ora.. tives of Prance, 1,300 Belgians, 400 Roumanians, 400 Greeks and 260 Ser- vians. Most remarkable of all was the line-up of 245 natives of Ger- many. Eight of the German-born and eight of the Austrian -born were of- ficers. Every country in Europe was represented in the Canadian army. There were over one hundred Turks. There were 700 Asiatics, 280 being natives of Japan and over one hund- red natives of China. There were some from Arabia, Bhuton, Cochin - China, Siam, Siberia, Manchuria, In- dia, ndia, Ceylon, Afghanistan, Persia and the Straits Settlements. There were thirty-two Africans. Such was the cosmopolitan; nature of the Canadian Army during the last Great War. Armistice Day recalls these things to us. 'A New Iron Lung A Canadian boy was the first to use the mew iron lung developed to work the ehest muscles and leave the limbs outside. He is Breen Hogan, aged six of Windsor, Ontario. The boy had been so badly stricken with Infantile Paralysis that he eonld not expand his lungs. Members of the Windsor Isolation Hospital knew that tests were being made in the Detroit Children's Hospital and borrowed the new device. Breen Hogan was in one of the ordinary iron alungs, which have the disadvantage of completely encasing the body and are huge and cumbersome. He was transferred to the new emergency lung. This new device is constructed of rubber and transparent .material. A perfect seal is insured b ya pneumat- ic rubber ring and by a sponge -rub- ber flap whieh adheres tightly even to the clothed body, A backstrap holds the lung in position and allows the patient to sit upin bed, or even in a chair. Air is supplied to the emergency lung through an ordinary vacuum hose by an electrically driven pump. The air is compressed and decom- pressed about sixteen times a minute —the rate of normal breathing. In this new lung, the Hogan lad within six weeks could breathe near- ly an hour without the aid of ap- paratus of any kind. His arms and legs could be kept in splints so that they would not become hopelessly deformed. At the time this informa- tion was released it seemed likely that the new lung would enable the boy to recover partially and perhaps CANADA'S NATIONAL WAR MEMORIAL The National War Memorial erect- ed in Ottawa has an interesting Ins - tory. This strueture, occupying 35 large crates, was shipped from Eng- lancl in parts. It was fashioned by seven brothers and a sister in studios at Farnborough, Kent. It is the re- sult of ten years' work. When it was decided that Canada should hawse a memorial of her own in her capital city, architects and sculptors were invited to submit de- signs. Over one hundred entries were received, among them that of an English sculptor, Vernon March, Lat- er, he heard from his radio that a Kent sculptor, namely himself, had wolf an ' Ilnteainaitional, competitions, for the Canadian War Memorial, Ile and his six brothers and their sister at once set to work on the full-scale design. This was in 1926, but in 1930 tragedy overtook the family, for Ver- non March died. The work, however, went continuously forward, the broth- ers and sister basing their labour on the small soft -clay model made by their brother. It is now kept under a glass case in their home in Kent. When completed, the memorial was erected temporarily in Hyde Park, where it made a deep and lasting impression on all who' saw it, a silent reminder of the sacrifice made by 60,000 Canadians. Consisting of a tall granite arch, surmounted by huge bronze figures of Liberty and Vietory, the memorial symbolises the triumph of peace over war. At the base of the arch are 22 figures representing every branch of the war service hurrying towards the new dawn and leaving behind them an 'unlimbered gun. The nuly inscription on it is simply "1914- 1918". All told, the memorial reaches a height of 70 feet. Sculptures by the March family are well-known in Canada. In Hamilton, far example, there is the famm,ons memorial to the United Empire L.ey- alists, executed by Sidney Marsh; in front of the Parliament Buildings in 'Victoria, British Columbia, stands the Provincial Wan Memorial, also the product of the March workahips, while in Orillia, Ontario, stands Ver- non March's fine statute of Cham- plain.` ' G,ODERICII TEACHER LEAVING Mr. Sl E. McDowell,, who for the last four years has been science master at the Goderich Collegiate Institute, will leave Goderich at the end of the fall term to take a position on the staff of the Fort William Vocational School. Mr. McDowell's resigns$ion has been accepted by the Collegiate Institute Board ,,and ap- plications' for the position are now under consideration. Mr. McDowell will have charge of the industrial chemistry department in his new' position. The Staff of the Fort William school is composed of completely. thirty-four teachers.—Signal-Star. ABOLITION OF, MU/ ICIPAL ELECTIONS We agree with the London Free Press in its attitude to Premier IIepburn's movie to eliminate municipal elections for .the duration of the war. The arguments `as theyapply to London are equally applicable to other municipalities. The editorial leads: "We do not question the sincerity and good intent of the Ontario Government, in proposing that municipal elections in the province be abolished for the remainder of the war, following the dousing elections, but we seriously doubt the 'wisdom of'suoh a move, The savings generally are small and a municipality might easily- be saddled with an extravagant mayor and city council which might be responsible. for many times the expenditure of an election. In any case the electors ;should be given the right of recall of mayor or council which h ha diask the confidence of the citizens. "The 'farthest the Government ,should have gone should have been to give a municipality, if it so desired, the right to extend the term of its council' without an election This move smacks of autocracy and takes away the rights of the 'electors. "Then there is the question of money and other by-laws. It was proposed to submit to the electors a by-law on the building of one or two new bridges and there may be necessary a plebiscite on the street railway. An election with all its costs will be necessary in.. any event in such cases," 7,1 -LURCH DIRECTORY THE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev, A. E. Silver, Pastor 11 a.m.—Sunday School 7 p.m.—Evening Worship ST.

SAID TO OBJEC'I' 'THAT TORY GOT BRUCE JOB The Tara Leader says in Its news columns: "The appointment of Ken- neth W. Johnston, law clerk in Camp- bell Grant's office at Walkerton, to acting deputy -Sheriff of the county of Bruce, to servle in the place of Capt. Arthur Donald, second in com- mand im the 97th Field Battery, IOC. A., evidently has caused some friction in political circles. We understand that Mr. Johnston offered his services to his country in this' war, but was turned dowar by the medical examin ere, and, coupled with the fact that he has legal experience, was given the position,. However, the fact that he is not the right shade of polities has evidently stirred up dissatisfaction with office seekers, and a movement is on foot to have the new appointee dismissed. Surely petty politics is not going to enter into this case, when everything should be done to ensure unity and co-operation in such momentous times. Playing petty pol- j itics should be absolutely barred at this time, and those in positions of authority should waken up to that fact. Let us pull together for the best interests of our country as a whole, and forget party politics:" Sugar From Trees Bridaiu's Forest Line of Defence Can Give Motor Fuel Too Britain's forests are one of her lines of defence. ScienEsts now know the secret of extracting sugar, from the softwoods of the English countryside, such as birch, ash, elm, and sycamore. Cloth- ing material, motor car fuel, dyes, many essential chemicals, various cattle foods, tranparent paper and even sausage :skins are among other items which can be yielded by trees, If all other supplies, of these con modities were cut off, Britain could "live ors her forests" for at least six months, -and very likely a year. Apart from private plantations} hundreds of thousands of acres of trees have been planted by the For- estry Commission since the war of 1914-18. "W can produce many of the vital necessities of life from wood," stated the chief chemist of the Forest Prod -one Raseeroh Laboratory. 'There is no waste, for science has made every part of a tree :valuable for something. "So-called waste wood has been used for a year by one of our own research workers as fuel for his mot- or car. Using it in a speeial and inexpensive generator, he gets speeds of over 50 miles an hour and covers great distances at the cost of a few pence. "A substitute for glass, used chief- ly for aeroplane windows, is yet an other product of the woods and for- ests of the British Isles.
