The Seaforth News, 1926-09-09, Page 3, re - CANADIAN INVESTMENT • At a time when every indication ev - dencee an upgrade tendency in Caila- diair affairs and attention is being d - reeled from from many sources towards the Dominion for investment of all kinds, the reading of the report of the pres• - dent of the Investment Bankers As- sociation of Canada, an organizatio which 'gives its best endeavors to af- - ford a maxiamm of protection to those who" have funds for investment, is cal- culated to augment such.opti'mism and revivify faith inthe future of the Do. inion, "No such opportunity has oc- curred since the organization of the association ten years ago for cheerful andopfirnistic outlook than at the pre- sent," states the president. 'We have every reason to take pride in the out- look and be thankful we live in this land of so great promise." 'During the calendar year 1925, ac- cording -cording to the report, Goveminent and municipal financing in Canada was• -ef- fected to the extent of some 5331,000,- • 331,000;'_ 000 in roundA figures, as follow'.:—Do- minion Government 5145,000;000; Do - Minion guaranteed (Can. .Nat, Rlysc) $35,000,000; , Provincial Government $104,000,000; Provincial guaranteed $6,- 590,000;' Municipal $41,00'0,000.. The securities were placed. almost equally in the United States an Canada, the Republic accounting' for only about .$10,000,00.0 more than the Dominion. Municipal Financing, It -ie interesting to note, though no great s'igniflcanoe is attached to thig by the president of • the Association, that government and municipal finance ing in Canada for the calendar year 1925 was less' to the extent of some $138,000,000 than in 1924. It is, how. . ever, significant, especially in view of the dubious regard of Canadian invest° inenthick it W still persists in certain other countries,' that whilst in 1924 the financing, for these requirements was arranged. in Canada to almost, double the extent it was in the United States, in 1925 the ropey came in about equal proportions' from Canada and the United States. Following this up, greater interest attaches to •the figures of Canadian financing in the first half df 1926, as compiled by A. E. Ames & Co. To 'June 12•th new Government, municipal, and corporation financing in Canada amouted to 5288,153,300, as compared - with 5242,231,885 in 1925, and 5190,- 400,000 in the period of 1924. The 192E total is divided into Government, $146;' 992,000; municipal 533,236,300; and corporation 5107,925,000. Of the total, 5148,850,000 was sold in the- U.S. as 'against $139,303,300 in Canada, the Republic's ,purchases consisting of 576,600,000 in Government bonds, 59,- t00,900 In municipal bonds, and 562,- - 750,000 corporation bonds'. Increase in U.S. Investment. The greatest 'compliment which •could -have' been paid Canada in the depressing and struggling post-war Sears has been the steady and swell- ing flow of investment funds from the United States into the Dominion. There is probably no more shrewd or calculatingly careful individual than the American banker, and: when he ad- vises clients to invest in the future, of -the Dorfiinion he is doing so on the basis of a profound .study and stead - fest conviction. In a general :con. sideration other countries in their at- titude towards Canada and Canadian investment could not do better than follow American example and Ameri- can methods.

One -of the Flower Secrets. Flowering depends`- on t reserves, whether in bulb or tree, in oak or daf- fodil. The power to form flowers is bound up with the power of the plant to lay by stores of reserve materiel" And though, as Ward reminds us, some herbaceous plants flower a few weeks after sowing, whilst some trees pro- duce no flower until they are fifty or sixty years old, they .sharer a common secret. Within wide margins -of dif- ference they obey the 'great law of re- serve. The beauty •that.soonsr or later .finds expression must. flea. of all be stored. How impressive is the patience and restraint in the treesofthe forest! No oak is• to be hustled. Cedars can- not be "forced" like rhubarb. Their growing forms arequietly serene. Most great productions in . art or in character have something of the same serenity. They are not born of haste to make an impression. They grow quietly in tlie background.

Variations — O'Muivaney, Mulleny, O'Mulvena„ Melvin, Macllvena, Mac- Ilwaine, Macllvain. Racial Origin—Irish; also Scottish. Source—A given name. It would be hard to find a set of family names in one group which are so little associated with one another in the -average mind. Yet they all come from the same source. Certain them, such as Melvin, Machwane and Macllvain, are, per- haps more commonly found among families of Scottish blood in this coun- try. The Mulvaneys, O'Mulvaneys, Mulleuys and O'Mulvenas are more likely to be of Irish extraction, cer- tainly so` in those names which are proceeded by "0." Like virtually all the. Gaelic names,, the great diversityof spelling in these different forms is the result of the at- tempt to spell the names in English as they sound in their original Celtic tongue rather than to transcribe the Celtic spelling into the English equiva- lent. - If this latter wee done the correct form of the name would be "O'Maolf- hiona," or "MaaMaolfhiona." It is from the latter form that the Scottish' variations' of the . same are derived through the elimination, Por easier pro- nunciation, of the initial "M" in the body of the name, thus, "Mac (M)Aolf- hiona" is easily transformed, in view of its pronunciation Into "Macllvain." The family or clan name cornea from. the given name of "Maoiflona," the meaning of which Is "devotee 00 wine.", Such a name, of course, was considered no disgrace in the distant pest, when It was formed, long before the period even of Mohammed, the first prohibi- tionist. MATHESON. Variations—Mathie, MacMathan, Ma. thieson, MacMath,"Mathewson Mat- tison, Mathison, Mattis, Matson. Racial Origin—Scottish and English. Source -A given name. All of these family names are de- rived from the given name of Matthew, which itself means "Gift of God," and is flebrew, Its spread throughout Eur- ope, of course, was due to its promin- ence in the Bible. While Matheson is not a Celtic form of name, It is nevertheless the name of a clan which was once one of the most important in the Scottish High- lands, The form Matheson, like that of Itlathieson is but an English ren- dering. The Gaelic designation of .the N. clan was "Clans Mhathain,' from. which the family names of MaeMath, MacMathan and Mathie have been evolved, the last named through a dropping of the "Mac" which originally Preceded it, and which in the Gaelic denoted "descendant of," just as the termination 'son" in Anglo-Saxon and the prefix "Fitz" in Norman-French did, and as the endings "Witz and "vitz=" do to -day Ili the Slavic tongues, these "Itzes" all being corruptions or developments of the Latin "filius," which" was abbreviated "fils." (Give the "s" a,"z" sound, then make the "z" 'sound' sharper, and you have the change complete). Mattison and Mattis are shortened forms of tile English family name of Mathewson. To these should be added Matson which was formed by the ad- dition of the ending to the shortened form of the given name. Woodchucks. We walked all night along a road That we could never see, Stars in our hair, the moon in a tree, A yeddow, orange -rind of !noon, Lulled inlarches by the croon Of wind that passed ailong the lane, And wind that soon came back again. We sat at dawn upon a rock Beside the little house, With Puck, the bushy, tawny squirrel, As noisy as a mouse, Scampering up the window -sill And down again like Jack, or Jill, And only stopped his dancing fuss To watch the Morning Star with us. And when the sun had risen, We plunged into the pool, And oh! it was blue, and oh! it was cool! e We spattered the water in a silver rah!, And just to keep dry we plunged In again And rose splashing water upon the sun.

The month of September has certain logical claims to prominenoe,. it is the first monthof autumn; -it; Is the tran- sition period betweekl Summer, • with all its joyous outdoor activities, and Fall with its evidence of wintar'e ap- proach; it is the harvest month, and is often depicted as a period of thanks- giving. It has, however, one other claim to everlasting prominence, it is the month with whichis associated the retinas of children to school. Play is a natiDrad child activity, echooi is . a simile for work, long oon•fining hours, and prosy books. The importance of education--- has long been realized, by all individuals and agencies. Many plans have been conceived as to how it may be acquired and ddstributed. A generation ago few if any of these dealt with anything but the question of intellectual attain- ment; all now realize the fundamental importance of the present health and. the continued well-being of the child at school. The Inspector, Principal and •teacher are equally interested with the school doctor, dentist or nurse, in the physi- cal condition of the boy or girl. The interest f of the parentis taken n e 0r granted. The school health authorities manifest their interest by attempting to safeguard the child from contagious disease, by supplying school buildings with modern sanitary equipment, by the regular inspection by the teacher and nurse, and the examination by the physician and dentist. Are parents realizing their responsibilities? Has advantage been taken of the oppor- tunities during the summer vacation, to have the children immunized against diptheria or scarlet fever•? Have they been vaccinated against smallpox? Iiave the physical defects noted by the -school or family physician been correoted? Has the advice of the school dentist been followed? Frankly, are you sending your child- ren back to school, physically equip- ped to profit by the educational ad- vantages available, or are you one of the oomparatively small group, who ignore suoh worthwhile advice and are resting in a false sense of health se- curity? The health of the school-age Mild is the most important question that faces either teacher or parent.
