Lion's Hockey League
During the ,past week four games
were played in the Lions League. The
brand of hockey displayed has been
steadily improving and all three spec-
tators' (Norm. Miller, Bill Colquhoun,
and Mellie Schoenhals) have been
treated to some nice hockey. The boys
certainly, play an aggressive . game

than balanced by a spirit of co-op-

• TLIE HYDRO -ELECTRIC INDUSTRY •
Established lopg before the commercial use of electricity
was even dreamed of, the Bank of Montreal bas seen
the hydro -electric industry rise from its infancy and has
provided helpful financial service in every phase of the
utilization of water power to industrial and domestic use.
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.

be seen n nature. We are not ori-
ginal. 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

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. The suc-
cess of sa nation is in proportion to
the loftiness of the ideals of the
peo-
ple o-
n1e of that nation. The yoring people
of to -day have their ideals, but the
cloud of materialism hangs litre a
cloud over Canada, forcing Many to

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.
