PARADE ...
ENOUGH FOR ALL: Tanks to
the methods employed by Herr
Hitler, millions of dollars have been
pouring into Canada in the past
few months to the extent of $50,-
000,000
50;000,000 or $00,000,000. It is capital
from Europe. Despite an organized
outcry of local industrialists against
.the admission of new industries or
new branches of industries already
established in Canada, it is indicat-
ed in despatches from Ottawa that
the Department of Immigration has
been quite reasonable in its atti-
tude toward European Industrial
leaders -who have been driven to in-
vest their capital and brains be-
yond the war -worried countries.
And why shouldn't we be reas-
onable! New capital, new manu-
facturing and new brains will
create new employment and should
be encouraged. Not only will a
manufacturing boom create work
for hundreds of artisans who are
unemployed at present, but it will
result in a great consumption of
raw materials. It is truly a good
thing for Canada.
ANGLO-POLISH. FLARE-UP: Just
when we thought affairs between
Britain and Poland were being iron-
ed out, while General Sir Edmund
Ironside conferred at Warsaw with
Polish Military leaders on co-ordin-
ation of the British, French and
Polish forces, an Anglo -Polish
money quarrel flared up in Lon-
don. It concerned where and how
the $25,000,000 British loan to the
Poles was to be spent. The British
insist that Britain's manufacturers
must reap the benefits but the
Poles .want a free hand to buy
equipment and machinery where
they like, even in the United States.
OUR HERITAGE: For the first five
months of this year Canada was
third among the gold producing
countries of the world.
It is a challenge to the imagin-
ation to try and forecast the metal
wealth which remains to be taken
out of he ground in the Dominion.
There has been a remarkable in-
crease in recent years in the min-
ing industry and today it is one of
the biggest props of the whole Can-
adian economy.
Where forests stood not so long
ago we see new modern commun-
ities; we_see wages, purchase of
4itippYies" •prodtli'eti.on and, trails otT
tation. What will. `the' conditions be
25 or 50 years from now? The Can-
adian youth of the day has a' great
heritage!
THE TROUBLES OF THE
WORLD: We heard about a'visi-
tor in Italy who related an illum-
inating incident of his holiday. It
was about a visit he made to a
ramous shrine in the mountains not
tar from Rome. He was just going
to sign his name in the visitor's
book, when be noticed that the last
signature was Hermann Goering.
"So Goering's been here," he said
to the priest. "Yes, he ca•.ae here."
"Did he say anything?" "Yes, he
said that this place was so lonely
and remote from the troubles of
the world that he would like to
stay here forever."
Without another word the priest
bowed and withdrew.

Revision of Traffic Laws Urg-
ed by Head of Motor League
Ninety per cent of highway acci-
dent prevention depends on greater
care being taken by the motorist,
W. Gilbert Robertson, general man-
ager of the Ontario Motor League
'`declared recently.
The chief cause of bad collisions
was the drivers' tendency to forget
to stop at stop streets after "zoom-
ing at a high speed" through less
important thoroughfares.
Not Properly Obeyed Anyway
"Tho righ-of-way is a dead let-
ter and should be removed fromthe
statute bobks," he said. "This sec-
- tion of the Highway Traffic Act
is not properly obeyed by any mo-
torist and should be made to con-
form with actual motoring condi-
tions.
"This means legally that any
driver . coming un to a through
highway can dart through the traf-
fic after he has stopped. The law
should .not give him the right-of-
way over the driver travelling on
the through street."

CANADA'S CHANCE
Canada is an attractive place
to European industrialists at pres-
ent because it is removed from .
the trouble centres, because it is
midway between European and
Asiatic markets and because it has
great stores of resources awaiting
development. It is reported that
industrialists with something like
30 million dollars to invest are
considering this country. That
would make it appear all the more
important to welcome the Bata
shoe company. — Halifax Chron-
icle.

PEDESIVIN.ANo MQT',ORSTs
aneouvii has embarked upon
a . second • "Hundred Deathless
Days" campaign. The first cam-
paign ended after two days in a
tragedy. A pedestrian was killed
by a motorist, and the coroner's
jury which investigated the affair
decided that the pedestrian, not
the motorist, was to blame.
The unfortunate incident under-
lines the truth that traffic safety
depends not on motorists alone or
on pedestrians alone but on the
co-operation of all who use the
streets and highways.—Vancouver
Province.
BUT ARE THERE SUCH?
A boy who wins a spelling bee
may grow up and become a busi-
ness man who doesn't have to de-
pend on his stenographer. —Ham-
ilton Spectator.
DEMOCRACY!
There it is, just one word. But
it is not a word; it is a concept of
life. It is a concept 'that is root-
ed, not in the mind alone, but in
the heart of man. It is the differ-
ence between men who stoop in
subservience to a ruler from
above, and men who walk straight
and are themselves the rulers. It
is the right for nen and •women to
think and speak for themselves, to
have faith in themselves and in
each other, and to make known
their wills without fear or indulg-
ence. Democracy is a way of
life for which men have always
struggled and for which they will
continue to struggle. -- Toronto
Star.
BEAVER SEASON
Ontario's Deputy Minister of
Game and • Fisheries, D. J. "Jim"
Taylor, reported recently that his
department is well pleased with
the results of the short season on
beaver this year. "We estimate
between $100,000 to $150,000 was
put into circulation throughout
the north during the season," Mr.
Taylor stated.
Newest Police Pruning Trees
Methods Used Requires Care
R. C. M. P. Follow Technique
of Studying How Criminals
Operate
Corporal John Timmerman of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police an-
nounced
nnounced here recently police iden-
tification methods throughout Can-
ada have been changed materially
through adoption of an elaborate
new system, the modus operandi
system.
Gives Clue To Identity
Corp. Timmerman said the new
system deals largely with the way
criminals operate. Most criminals.
specialize and use a definite tech- '
nique in their crimes, which under
this system of co -relating police in-
formation would provide a clue to
the criminal's identity when a crime
is committeed In a certain way.
The new system provided also
for co-operation of police forces
throughout the country, so that
municipal, provincial and federal
police can work in unison.
The' Duke of `Windsor's private
chauffeur for eighteen .years,
George Ladbrook, the same one
who whizzed Mrs. Simpson across
France immediately after the ab-
dication, is now a doorman for a
swank London night club.
Must Be Done Properly To In-
sure Right Development
To insure proper development
and vigorous growth of the tree,
pruning must be carefully and
properly done. All dead, bruised
and broken roots are removed with
a sharp knife or pruning shears.
Clean -cuts will heal rapidly, while
ragged cuts heal slowly and may
provi4,e an entrance place for in-
fection. The top of the tree is
cut back to balance the root sys-
tem; that is, enough of the bran-
ches are cut back or entirely re-
moved to compensate for the loss
Of roots when the tree was dug.
Thus the loss of moisture by
transpiration through the leaves is
kept -in proportion to the intake of
moisture through the roots, pre-
venting a too -rapid drying out of
thetop of the plant. The centre
stem of the tree, known as the
leader, is retained, but if the tree
is too tall for the number of side
• branches it may be topped .a lit-
tle Tom ode third to one-half of
Cilia tle`'Of 'the'Side branches is
cut back. In pruning, it is kept
in mind that the completed tree
should present a pyramidial shape.
A faultfinder is sure of recom-
pense in kind.

FISHING FANS BY THE
MILLIONS
There is little doubt among
Canadian sportsmen that the
sport of fishing is about the most
popular outdoor pastime in the
Dominion, and this is very true of
the Province of Ontario in parti-
cular, where it leads most sports
by a large margin of popularity.
PREMIER FISHERMAN
And speaking of the popularity
of fishing, Ontario's active Pre-
mier Mitchell Hepburn is quite an
enthusiastic fisherman when poli-
ties and government matters spare
him the odd few moments. But
recently the pressure of business
forced the province's government
leader to decline an invitation to
go pickerel fishing on Lake Nipis-
sing with a fishing party arranged.
by Hon. Harry C. Nixon, -Ontario
Games and Fisheries Minister. In-
stead, Premier Hepburn angled
with government problems while
the others went fishing. ' The par-
ty included: Leopold Macaulay
(Con. York South) and his wife;
Mrs. Nixon; Lionel Conacher (Lib.
Toronto-Bracondale), former hoc-
key star of the National Hockey
League, and Mrs. Conacher.
BIG HUNTING
A huge bald eagle was seen fly-
ing over Meaford, Ontario, the
other day and so rare is this sight
in this part of Canada that the
whole Meaford Natural History
CIub turned out in goodly numbers
to spend the week -end covering
this Georgian Bay district to find
if the Iarge bird had decided to
nest in these parts of Ontario.
London Called
Museum Piece
London, in the view of Archi-
tect Frank Lloyd Wright, is a mu-
seum piece, and as a modern city
is "not fit for human habitation."
Mr. Wright designed Tokio's
Imperial Hotel, only earthquake
proof structure in the city in the
1923 disaster.
Said Wright (in London last
week) "Your government is mak-
ing plans to evacuate the `city.
Why not evacuate it for good?
There is plenty of room on this
green earth for everybody."
"If statesmen. cannot solve the
problem at its source, civilization
it hardly worth saving. People
should be allowed to live above
earth—they will be under it soon
enough."
Wright said he liked London's
green parks, hated sky -scrapers.
But "in England I have found the
greatest cultural lag outside of
Russia and the United States."

REACHING FOR THE STARS
By Nora Wain
One of the most enjoyable books
Which continues to enjoy great
popularity is this story of Miss
Wain's four-year sojourn in. Ger-
many. From the time she motored
across the Belgium border in June
of 1934 with her English husband
who was to study music in Ger-
many, she devoted a great part of
her time In an attempt to under-
stand the German people and their
country under Hitler's rule.
Her strange experiences were
many and when she left the country,
four years later, it was with a
wealth of knowledge of the people
with whom she had associated for
so many months. She says that
conditions exist everywhere which
outlaw freedom — make unguarded
speech impossible and throw ter-
ror and horror across the daily.
lives of oppressor and oppressed
alike.
"I wrote my book," says Miss
Wain, "to make the world love—
that is,. understand—the German
people—a people who, taking their
virtues with their vices, and their
wisdom with their follies, are not
more wicked or more stupid than
the remainder of mankind."
A clock built by a famous Bel-
gian watchmaker has ninety-three
dials, is sixteen feet in height, and
-weighs 4,500 lbs.
German Customs officers have a
daily "bag" of between forty and
fifty people trying to smuggle
things out of Germany.
