With abundant snow and rainfall on the uplands, and ample reservoir capacity in numerous lakes, Canada is fortunate in having a reliable supply of water power within transmission distance of the principal industrial centres.Only one country, the United States, has a greater total of hydro -electric development. More than three-quarters of the power equipment used in manufacturing industries in Canada is electric- driven. Seventy per cent, of Canadian homes, urban and rural, are equipped with this "modern servant." Cheap hydro -electric power has been an important factor in the rapid development of the mining industries. It has been a deciding factor in the refining of base fl metals from Canadian mines, which only a few years ago was a monopoly of foreign countries. The use o water power has gone hand in hand also with the ex 1 pension of the great forest industries of Canada. The production of hydroelectric power has Advanced; steadily since the recovery of 1932, reaching new high, records each year. The per capita output is exceeded only' . by that of Norway, yet only one-sixth of the known avail able water power resources of Canada has been utilized., Hydroelectric industries and their employees all ovee' Canada find in the Bank of Montreal the convenient! ". r and helpful banking service they need. BANK OF MONTREAL "A BANK WHERE SMALL ACCOUNTS .ARE WELCOME" Londesborough (Sub -Agency): Open Monday and Thursday Clinton Branch: H. M.

We imitate activities we ob- serve in the world of nature around us. The materials we use in all' our doings are either natural or synthetic. The: factories that snake the synthetic materials must go through the same processes found in nature. For ex- ample,. we may admire the texture of. artificial silk, but it cannot compare to the perfect product made by the spider. The spider's design in spin- ning his web, has also been borrowed by the fishermen, who use it in fash• ioning their nets. Miss Lindsay went on to show us the many ways, in' which modern ac- tivities are really imitations of aetiv- ities of the animal, large and small, which are readily observed if we watch nature. The deep-sea diver uses the seine idea as do the insects who live under water. In order to breathe, the insect must push a hol- low tube to the surface of the water; The rubber tires used on modern n vehic- les are in imitation of the soft pads to be found on our animal friends, The radio waves which carry the pro- grams to our radioloudspeaker are likened to the mysterious waves which direct a pigeon to its dovecote, al- though the nest may be hundredsof miles away. If we look around us with an open eye we will readily see that the most ingenious of all inven- tors is nature, • The next contestant, • Miss Alma Trewartha announced her subject as "America's God -Gold." The gist of her address suggested that we rush through life, front childhood to col- lege, from college to a business ca- ner in' order to make money. He is an idle dreamer, who only wishes to achieve success for itself alone, and not for the. monetary remuneration.'. There is an unmistakable change in our national life. As people become more commercial -minded, the finer ideals are shoved into the back- ground. The financial wizards who direct the .markets are set on pedes- tals by the money -worshiping world. This change in thoughtnaturally af- fects man's disposition. People no longer have time for a smile as they hurry about their business of acquir- ing,gold, We do not confine our in- terests to gold only during business hours, but cultivate the society of .the wealthy socially and despise the un- fortunate men who either can, not matte money or who have lost their money. We rate success in terms of money, but' it is not a true criterion;. \We are selling our birthright for a mess of :pottage. There are several instances in history, Alexander, Cae• ear, Napoleon, when men; fought to rise to power and prestige but in do- ing so were forced to sacrifice their ideals. Rome, Carthage, Athens, de- clined and as true leaders, when the people began to worship the idea of power and other false gods.

It is left to us to prove that young' people have higher ideals thanrich in oil' and coal. the god of wealth. The last speaker, Miss Mae Smith, elected to speak on Admiral Richard E. Byrd, whom she had heard, when he gave his celebrated illustrated lec- ture at Chautauqua, N.Y. One could not but admire the man for his daring, esteem him for his scientific discoveries and love him for his modesty. Admiral Byrd began lits''adventur- its career at the earl age y of twelve when he sailed •around the world. While he was a student at Annapolis Naval College, he was a great athlete. In 1923 Richard Byrd determined to circle the North Pole by plane. He accomplished this feat in 1926. During the time spent in the Arctic Circle many maps and charts were made, which were readily accepted, by the United States government. Having achieved o n e ambition Richard Byrd immediately began planning for his next bit of work. He had had a desire for some time to fly the Atlantic. He flew from N. Y. to ranee in 1927. - By this time Richard Byrd had be- come famous. Many tempting offers were presented, to him, but he had other intentions, He determined to explore the fascinating ice plateau surrounding the South Pole. He collected a crew of scientists and a great amount of scientific apparatus and set out to explore the South Polar reions. On Oct. 14, 1929 he circled the South Pole. Since that time Byrd has made sev- eral dashes to Little America to • ex- plore more completely the ten million square miles of unexplored territory, Richard E. Byrd is an idealist, and a rugged explorer, who likes to make daring plans for the future and carry them out. While the judges, Mrs. Frank p'ing- land and Mrs. Harold Lawson,, were comparing notes the audience was en- tertained by two dances.' The first group, Misses Agnes Johnson., Daphne Colclough, Kathleen Middleton, Eileen Knox, Valens Elliott 'and''Jeanr' Vod- den performed the Sailor's Hornpipe. The second group, Kisses 'Agnes Ag- new, Faye Lindsay and Cathleen Cun- inghame went through the 'intricate and vigorous steps of the Highland Fling. Miss Ellen Charlesworth was pianist. Mrs. FingIand spoke on behalf of the judges, saying that the selection of a winner was a difficult task ow- ing to the excellent work of the three contestants. They had finally decided to award the shield to Miss Alma, Trewartha, who received the trophy from Mr. Ken. Dougan. The meeting closed with God Save the King.” " EBENEZER The Ebenezer W. A. met at the home of Mrs. Ira Merrill, on Thurs- day last, with a large attendance. The programme Committee,. Mrs. Ira Merrill and Mrs. Bert Lobb, had the following program arranged: ,Recita- tations, by Grace Lobb and Jack Mer- rill; reading by Mrs. Bert Lobb. The roll call was answered by a favorite quotation. At the close of the meet- ing the hostesses, Mrs. Ira,; Merrill and Mrs. Bert Lobb, served very dainty refreshments.
