It Does Not DO Any Good
The. events in Europe are so com-
plicated and change so rapidly that
what one writes about them to -day
may be simple foolishness to -morrow
or by the time it appears in print.
For that reason we would suggest
that the people of Canada do not al-
low their minds to dwell on the Eur-
opean situation and Herr Hitler's
part in creating that situation, to
the exclusion of all other things, be-
causelt will not, do one particle of
good, and may result in doing a
measure of harm to both our coun-
try and ourselves.
It is necessary, of course, for news-
papermen to write—and let it be said
that our leading newspapermen
write with a good deal of authority
—but it is not necessary for news-
paper readers to read all that is writ-
ten, to the extent the peril of the
European situation and the chief ac-
tor in it, take complete possession of
their minds.
To date Hitler has played a very
small part in the daily life of Cana-
dians. He may never play any other
part. If he does, or even attempts
to, we, as Canadians, already know
what we would do. Every thinking
Canadian knows that -Canada's very
existence is bound up in the British
• Empire. We know that should the
British Empire meet defeat at the
hands of Hitler, Canada would be
the price of a 'settlement of their dif-
ficulties.
And knowing -these things so well,
would Canadians, for one moment,
allow the present Government, or
any other Government, to adopt any
attitude or policy detrimental or ev-
en luke warm, to the best interests
ts of the British Empire?
Why then is it necessary that the
Premier of Canada should get upon
the housetop and hysterically shout
Canada's 1oya1t3r to the Empire, as
one newspaper is insisting that he
should do? Or why is it necessary
for that same newspaper to prod
the Leader of the Opposition into
doing the same thing?
There is no possibility of doubt
but that the Prime Minister is bet-
ter acquainted 0with the European
situation than any other person in
Canada, unless it be some members
of his Cabinet. And that informa-,
tion has come to him directly, and no
doubt is still coming, almost hourly,
from the head of the Empire in Lon-
-don.
If the British Prime Minister had
any doubt, or even the slightest mis-
givings, as to the part that either
Mr, King or Dr. Manion would play
in an Empire crisis, would he ever
have trusted Empire secrets to Can-
ada, or would he be doing it now?
13:oth Mr. King and Dr. Manion
thoroughly know the mind of the
Canadia,n people on The Empire
question. And the people of Canada
have every confidence in the attitude
either of these men would take were
the safety of the Empire at stake.
Knowing these things so thoroughly,
why should it be necessary for Can-
ada and the Canadian people to
make' an hourly or daily parade of
their loyalty? "
The world is jittery enough now.
For Canadiansto let a massed hat-
red of Hitler take complete posses-
sion Of their minds would not do any
good, hu$g1it, on the other hand,

We Hope He .1* Right
-fl-Kineer is the United
e'tr bureau expert at
while his 'inkr be
to.liost, Cana -
Urns out to

r'itt
At.
host of frienda on this side of the
line as well as on the other side. -
It is Mr. Kbleer's opiaion that the
drought cycle. in. North America,
Which has extended over the past
ten years, has ended. And, as Mr.
Kincer knows a good deal about the
weather andits ways, he may be
,right.
At any rate, he has expressed the
decided opinion that the abundant
rains of this year, following those of
1937, show . that the recent long
drought cycle ha S spent itself and
that the years limmediately ahead
will bring a 'generally adequate rain-
fall.
We do not know much about
drought in Ontario, but, neverthe-
less, this Province has suffered very
considerably in one way and another,
by drought conditions in other parts
of Canada, particularly in the Prov-
inces of Saskatchewan and Alberta.
' Ten years ago these two provinces
were pretty much the wheat bin of
the world, but since that time, one
who has not lived in or near them, is
incapable of realizing what the
drought has done to the land, as well
as to the people.
This year the people of the West
were beginning to take heart again.
Not all the drought areas recei ed
enough rain, but on the whole the
crops were the best in many years,
and prospects are said to be eVen
better for next year, if one is to
judge by the present moisture con-
tent.
We hope the American weather
expert is correct in his opinions as
we, in Ontario, are almost as vitally
interested in the welfare of the
Western Provinces, as we are in our
Own. A few years of bumper crops
in the West would not only put
the West on its feet again, but
would permit of Ontario enjoying
some of that prosperity as well.

Getting Awap From Things
These are perilous times. The ef-
fects of the depression have not, by
any means, yet worn away. War
clouds are dark and lowering. We
read in the papers and hear over the
air little that does not contain a
large measure of double dealing, of
dishonesty, of cruelty, and of hate.
Fear is in the way.
But it does not surround us entire-
ly. There is one avenue of escape
always open to the people in the
country, and one that is even avail-
able for the people of the crowded
centres. 0"
Take a day off. Or even an hour
off. Get away frem the crowds, the
streets and the paved highways and
go out into the country.
Drive along the sideroads and see
the stacks of plenty that a bountiful
harvest has left dotting the land.
Smell the new -turned brown- earth,
and watch the live stock ambling
over the still abundant pastures.
See the red apples on the trees and
the marvellous colors that are begin-
ning to clothe the trees, and that will
continue to vary and increase in
beauty for, the net few weeks to
come. - -
Take your time; idrive slowly; go
as early in the day as you can, and
stay out as long as you can. The
weather is neither too hot nor too
cold.
You can't do it even once without
absorbing some of the beauty; with-
out your nerves toning down to the
peace and quiet of the countryside;
without some warm color creeping
into the cold gray clouds that you
felt were beginning to smother you.
Try it. The remedy costs nothing,
yet all the money in the world would •
not buy as good a cure.

"ROCKING CHAIR60
You can have your luxurious
dis-
ans and upholstered love -seats and, all
the plush and. cushioned chairs it the
World, but give me an old-fashioned
rocking chair with a squeak in it, and
I will be satisfied.
Have you ever- watched the family
when they occupy Otte racking,chair?
First of a..11 thorn's Dad! That's me,
and you can panty well gauge all the
moods that I leave by my action in
the rocker. If it's a lazy and sort of
well satisfied humor, thein the slow
pace of the rockers on the floor are
sure to iedicate it. If there's a knot-
ty problem looming up, the rocker
will travel at sixty per, and as art oc-
casional, really perturbing thought
comes to mind the rocker will burst
into a renewed spurt of fast rocking.
Gradually as; the problem wears off
with the. soothing effect .of the chair's
motion, it will settle down to, a
steady and civilized rocking motion.
Watch Mother a the rocker!
When the day's work is' drone and
she's tired from her labours, she'll sit
down, in the old roeker and start
knitting socks or patching.clothes.
The chair will move slowly back and
forth, matching her mood and then
gradually it will slow up .. . down
to a bare move and her headwill nod
and the fingers will stop. Then as a
sudden, lurch of deer head wakes her
up, the chair will start up again anO
the fingers will start knitting or ply-
ber needle. After this has hap-
pened two or three times, the hand
will go up to 'stifle an embarrassed
yawn and she will say . . . "I'm go-
ing to bed, Phil. You better put
down that Taper and come yourself."
The rocker by the window is
Grandpa's throne. From there he has
a clean vision down across the farm,
e good view of the neighbors and
te's sure not to miss anything in the
house. The chair bemuse of a slight
warp in .one rocker, keeps edging ov-
er to the window, and every so of-
ten there will be a loud clump as he
moves it back to start the trip over
again.
Close at hand on the window -sill
Grandpa has his Ville and tobacco and
lxis "s.pecs." It's regular aoutine for
him after dinner, to puff iievuO at his
pipe, and then thing,, of that he will
lay it down and gently himself off
to a sm. oze. By the time he has rest-
ed completely, the maa will have
come. The spectacles are donned and
he becomes engrosised in the color-
ed foldersthat clutter up, the mail
box. And then, after ba,vieg presum-
ably. digested their contents, he will
settle down to a solid two bourse of
reading of the newspaper. 'Finishing
the newspaper, the paper wilt be
folded away and set on the little table
just at arm -length from his chair and
then, atter resting the glasses back up
on the window, he will bespeak him -
mil somewhat like an oracle, and; in-
form the rest of the folks about the
world of news.
arlier in this, letter I said that I
preferred a rocking chair with a
squeak in it, and I still do. That
squeak is one of the "homiest"
tilanos that a person could possibly
have around the home. It's, the trade-
mark of a good, comfortable chair
that protests mildly as it conforms
to you and gives you a good rock-
ing. Then there's usually a squeak
in the floor boards, and the 'uneven
hoards give O rolliag motion to the
rocking of the chair.
.A rocking chair is Oomforting . . .
a great deal more so than an ordin-
ary soft and se -called comfortable
chair. Came in tired and wora-out
and Mt down and rock a little and
see how -your weariness disappears.
Rocking ohairs have •their disad-
vantages, I realize that quite well.
They might be Oonsidered a curse to
humanity for producing so many
rocking -chair philosophers as they do.
They are, of course, a bo en to a lazy
man, because he can rock diligently
away . . . and while rocking make

himself' believe that he is workieg.
I believe that we ebould organize
a league for the preservation of
rocking chairs.
JUST A SMILE OR TWb
Seated before a grizzled group of
directors who believed him to be the
man they wanted to hire as sales
manager, the candidate was asked by
one of the group, "wrho is the boss in
your home?"
"I am," was the reply, "Out I let
my vvife think she is."
That was one of the answers that
won a $25,000 job for him.,

The bootshop manager looked very
gloomy as he checked over the books.
'Business is pretty quiet," he told
kis assistant. "I think we'd better
have some sort of a sale."
"All right, sir," agreed the sales-
man, "what sore of sale shall it be?"
O "Well, just put that line of thirty -
shilling shoes in the window and
meek them down from a to £2 10s.
