OTTAWA—Indicating the gastro- nomical welcome that awaits visitors to the United Kingdom this summer, Canada' has doubled poultry exports in the first four months of the year. Officials of the Agricultural De- partment say the increase is due to heavy purchases in anticipation of the Coronation trade, producing a paucity of domestic fowl. Since January 1, Canadian ship- ments to the British market have been 3,000,000 pounds averaging ten to 12 cars a week. The nearer the Coronation approaches, the larger the demand is becoming. New Link Is Forged By Rail With Norith A new link between the mining dis- tricts of Northern Ontario and the south was forged when "The North- land,' operated by the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario and the Cana- dian National Railways, made its ini- tial run. A. H. Cavanagh, general manage of the T. & N.O. made the inaugural run. The operating schedule of "The Northland" is such that the traveller may leave the North after the business day is finished, arrive at Timmins, or intermediate stations, in the morn- ing, Returning, "The Northland" sohc iules are equally convenient to the business man, as it does not leave Timmins until 5.20 o'clock in the afternoon. Thus a business man may make a trip to the North, or South, being only a day from his office. Northward, the train operates daily; southward, daily except Sunday, Unemployment Increase CALGARY—Unemployed have in- creased 22.7 per cent up till April 17, over the number registered in 1936, an Alberta Government report said this week.

Hys- lop's res ciente near Maitland, with the ev: d k rrtly trained deer hounds in hot parsuit. The deer immediately leaped into the".. Lawrence and proceeded to swirl to the United States shore. Says It Will Suffer If Lewis In. roads Are Successful LONDON, Ont.—Efforts of John L. Lewis to "make inroads in Canada throtgh the Committee for Industrial Organization” were denounced by Judge Joseph Wearing at St. George's Society's 17th annual dinner here. "In the past two or three weeks we have sten an attempt made by an up- and-coming American, John L. Lewis, to take some Canadian people for a ride," declared Judge Wearing. "If the efforts of that man are ever suc- cessful, bhere can be only one out- come—the vital interests of Canada, both capital and labor, will suffer." Employees Cared For HAMILTON — International Har- vester Company saved Hamilton tax- payers one million dollars by caring for its employees during depression years, Welfare Commissioner A. P. Kappele estimated this week. The big industry loaned money to its workers and in many cases as- sumed responsibility for mortgages On their homes, making it possible for them to retain ownership until they found employment. The understanding was that when the men found gainful occupation they would return the amounts for- warded and Mr. Kappele predicted that the loyal workers, appreciative bf what had been done • for them would discharge their obligation at first opportunity. For two years, dur'.ng the earlyyearsof depression, when the Harvester Company was idle, every man was provided for and 1iot one applied for relief, the Welfare Commissioner reported. Mayor William Morrison and Con- troller Freeman Treleaven of the Welfare Commission commended of- Acials of the industry. Casa:dian Slums Snobbery Scored TORONTO — A charge that there is:.od in Canadian universities and tyn Canada generally the "most ap- ailing sort of snobbery," was made W. Laffan, Treasurer of the New ducation Fellowship, London, Eng., t a Fellowship meeting here. Some years ago he had come to anada to attend McGill University. e had hoped there would be no class istinctien, but he had found, be said, :ghat they were greater than anything he had known wn before. "And more boring; dull and rotten Sort of lectures I ever heard in my w C—N life, although I have reason to be- lieve they have improved. I thought one would come into contact with real life in Canada, but I found that near- ly Tall the men same into contact with real life in summer holidays. I once got a chance to sweep some snow off the streets, but I couldn't get a job" he said.. Canada much effect animprove- ment in the pay and status of its teachers, the Englishman claimed, In the lower categories, teachers in England were paid three times as much as in Canada, And Canadians must be willing to assume a greater share of taxation, he said. In Eng- land the income tax ranged from 25 cents to 60 cents on the dollar. R. Southam Dead TORONTO—Richard Southam, the President and Managing Director of the Southam Publishing Company, and Director of the Hamilton Specta- tor, died in the Toronto General Hos- pital Sunday. He was 65. Mr, Southam is survived by his widow; one daughter, .Mrs. Donald McMurrich of Toronto; two sons, W. W. Southam, Toronto, and K. G. Southam, Winnipeg; and four broth- ers, W.

Ritchie, chief game warden. Rain Bolsters Prairie Crops WINNIPEG—Rain fell over West - tern Canada this week anti gave new incentive to crop hopes as farmers proceeded with seeding operations. Showers were reported throughout the grain areas of Southern Mani- toba where rainfall sin-- the begin- ning of the month has been well above normal. Light rain fell in the Regina dis- trict but some dust was bowing. Eastern and .8outheastern Saskatche- wan reported minor precipitation. Farmers of Northern Saskatche- wan greeted the first extensive rain- fall of the season and began seeding operations with renewed confidence. Three to four inches of snow were reported in some northern districts. Seeding conditions in the North Bat- tleford area were 60 per cent. better than last year, farmers said. Wheat Pools' Assets CALGARY—Assets of $1'7,929,121 in excess of all liabilities, incuding indebtedness to the Provincial Gov- ernments, were recently' reported for the Manitoma, Saskatchewan, and Alberta Pool organizations to the Turgeon Royal Grain Commission by Paul Bredt, President of Manitoba Pool Elevators Ltd. Concluding the presentation re- counting activities of the wheat Pools from inception until start of Federal Government Stabilization operations in 1930, Mr. Bredt dealt briefly with Pool activities from 1930 to date. "The operations of the last few years have shown that we inay count on the continued patronage and loyal support of our members and patrons," he said. "Given this, there is no doubt that these farmer -controlled handling facilities will ultimately be wholly owned free from debt, by the grower members. We have had re- verses ,but we are not dismayed. Welland Needs New Homes WELLAND—Today, Welland is a mere thriving city than it was two years ago, if the present paucity of suitable •houses in good repair which are for rent in that city is any crit- erion. In 'a canvass of real estate agents it was disclosed that a goodly number of new homes for rental pur- poses, which would be su:tablh to the average working man's needs, would instantly find ocaupar,ts.

Wo id Protect Young ears Shooting Regulations Should Be Modified, Hrn ane Society Agrees TORONTO. — Mother bears give birth to their young during the period of hibernation, Therefore the Gov- ernment's bili proposing the first of April as the open season for shoot- ing should be modified, it was stated in a resolution passed at the month- ly meeting of the Humane Society here. "I have received letters from the United States about this matter," said J. Macnab Wilson, managing di- rector. "The young bears are not old enough in the spring to accom- pany their mothers out. It's far from right that the mother bear should be, killed and the young Ieft to die in the damp." British Empire In Lead With Aircraft NEW YORK. — The British Empire leads the world in the number of combat airplanes available "for an emergency," the 1937 edition of the Aircraft Year Book published recent- ly stated.

At the same ,time Thompson boasts' ed that the peaceful settlement of the Oshawa strike had been reached lit Detroit "between a foreign corpora, tion and foreign agitators" using re mote control, The strike was not sets tled in Queen's Park, he claimed. • Used Remote Control Martin invited Premier Hepburn to: return to his farm, "where his activi- ties can harm nothing more than an onion." "The strike was not settled at Queen's Park," Thompson told some 2,000 :automobile workers. "It was settled at Grand Boulevard and Woodward Avenue, Detroit, between' a foreign corporation and "foreign agitators." Martin conferred' there with Gen- eral Motors Corporation, and we used `remote control' from Washington 'While the conference was under way in Toronto," the C.I.O. man claimed. • Martin claimed he knew ,in advance what the terms of settlement would be. HIe knew "what the terms of the agreement would be before the ne- gotiating committee knew them," he told the rally. Not only would the 300 "feeder plants" be organized, but the C.I.O. would extend its activities to other factories as well, he said. "Weare starting immediately on the organi- zation of all workers in all feeder plants. There wil, be more than 3'00 of those organized, however. We are not going to limit our activities to those supplying General Motors" .Charges Attempted Bribe Martin declared that a roan "who claimed to represent General Motors Corporation attempted to bribe" him in. Detroit while Oshawa strike ne- gotiations were under way. "He offered me the neat little sum of $50,000 if I'd do just as be wanted me to," Martin said. "I said to him and I say it again, if General Motors has anything to give away, Iet them give• ft to the workers." Referring again to the agreement reached,. Martin declared: "We have no desire to see Premier Hepburn out of his place at Queen's Park. For all the things that Hep- burn has done that are worth while, I say we appreciate them. "But if he is going to continue using his job to thwart the privileges and opportunities of the people, the best service he can render them is to return to the farm where his' aotivi- ties can harm nothing more than an onion. "The settlement is a complete vic- tory far the C.I.O. and provides you with advances in wages and improv- ed working conditions. It was made by and for you as members of the United Automobile Workers of America. The U. A. W. A. would not stand inthe way of you getting better hours and wages and so be- cause of the antipathy felt toward it, we moved a few miles out EJ that the agreement we had already set- tled upon could be signed."
