A Wise Move
... At the last meeting of the Seaforth
town council notice of motion wat
'ven by Councilor Keating that at
the next meeting of council he would
introduee a by-law amending the
present traffic by-laws.
.The change contemplated in the
traffic by-laws would be to prohibit
the present practise of making 'U'
rt: turns at the corner of Main and
tee•
Goderich Streets... And that would
!I•k,' be a very wiee move.
• Goderich Street is on a main pav-
d highway that ca.rries'heavy traf-
lice at this time of year. Ordinarily
the Main Strtet traffic crossing this
highway does not appreciably enter -
fere or hold np through traffic, but
there are two exceptions. These oc-
cur on every Saturday and Sunday
night during the summer months..
On Saturday nights Main Street
is not only solidly lined with. parked
cars, but there is a continuous
stream of cars driving north, the
majority of which make a 'U' turn
out on the highway and then drive
down the street again.
On Sunday nights, after the band
concert, the congestion of cars is al-
most as great, while the number of
cars moving up and down the street
is even greater, practically every
one of them making the turn at the
et
-corner.
As a result of this practise, several
times during each of these nights,
through traffic on the highway is
blocked and cars pile up at the cor-
ner. That creates a very dangerous
situation. So much so that it is ow-
ing to Providence, rather than to
the ingenuity and forbearance of
man, that we have not had a series
of accidents every Saturday and
Sunday night this su-mmer.
No doubt, humannature being
what it is, motorists- will grureble,
complain and even raise a fuss, but
motor traffic has become so dense
that public safety has to be guarded,
even against the seeming wishes of
the driving public, and the council is
perfectly justified and should be en-
couraged in its drive for public safe-
ty,

A Good Mang of Us Are That
Wap Too
Calvin Richards, with only eight
dollars in his jeans, thumbed his way
two thousan.d miles to see the San
Francisco Exposition.
Then when he got to the Exhibi-
tion, he decided he wouldn't go in
because he thought it would pinch
his pennies too hard. So he hitch-
hiked the two thousand miles home
again.
Just four thousand miles for—
nothing! But there are quite a lot
of use like Calvin right here in our
own home eOunty. We travel unlim-
ited miles at unlimited speed and we
don't see anything on the way, and
we don't see anything when we get
there, nor on the way back.
We just go, and keep going, and
always farther afield. The unfor-
tunate part about it is, however,
none of us seem to be able to make
these trips as cheaply as Calvin did.
And still more unfortunately,
none of us seem to try. -

A Real Thrill
In this fast age of ours we are
rather inclined to wonder h o w
former generatts could find means
of recreation an entertainment for
themselves, lacking as they did, our
marvelldus means of transportation
and communication.
We wonder if they ever had a
thrill, or what there was to make a
*Weill out of in those by -gone days.
t we don't need to pity that form -
=generation for their lack of
beeattse they fated very well
, hut line. In fact, the
:daft agewitteigs-
i•504 4 ,0,.!;, t
,
will not be witnessed in our day and
generation.
It was just eighty years, ago last
Saturday that a Frenchman by the
name of Emile Blondin, walked
across a tight rope stretched 1,100
feet from the 'American to the Cana-
dian -shore, and 160 feet above the
mighty chasm at Niagara Falls.
That feat, in itself, would provide
thrill enough for the average spec-
tator, but even that was not half the
story. Not only did Blondin walk
the tight rope, but he carried a man
named Colcord in a chair strapped
to his back, when he did it.
And there is still more to it. When
Blondin, with Colcord on his back,
was half way across the gorge, the
guy ropes parted, and the rope sway-
ed as you ican imagine how a thou-
sand foot long rope would sway,' if
suspended one hundred and sixty
feet in the air.
But Blondin kept his balance, and
although his passenger was forced
to descend three times from the
chair on his back to allow him to
stretch his tired muscles, he brought
himself arid his partner safely to the
Canadian shore.
No, .this generation will never get
a thrill like that! But, after all, who
Would want it?

Governments Cost Money
It costs real money to govern a
country, and the United States is,
apparently, no exception, as we learn
that Congress, before the close of its
recent session, appropriated $22,-
632,771 to finance the legislative es-
tablishment.
Besides salaries, maintenance and
similar expenses, t h e legislative
costs include such items as $123,000
for reporting Senate and Congress
debates; $970 for packing boxes for
Senators; $8,000 for maintenance of
the Vice -President's and Speaker's
automobiles, including chauffeurs'
salaries; $19,000 for folding Sena-
tors' speeches for mailing; $2,000
for the Senate's tiny subway train,
and $4,587,430 for printing and bind-
ing the Congressional Record and
the thousandof bills introduced.
But the United States is not the
only country that it takes real
money to keep running, and Canada,
in proportion to its population, prob-
ably spends as much, and perhaps a
little more.
And like - our neighbor, Canada
spends it on very similar things. We
have our Senators, and even if we
don't provide them with packing box-
es, we provide them with many
other queer and expensive things.
Our Hansard corresponds to the
American Congressional Record, and
while it may not cost us over four
and a half million dollars a year,
there is no question but that it costs
us just a half too much. It makes a
nice present for our Members of
Parliament to send to their constitu-
ents after they have made a long
speech or a long series of speeches,
but it runs into a lot of money.
In fact, if it was not for Hansard,
and no doubt the Congressional Re-
cord too, the cost of government in
this country and across the line as
eeelje would be a good deal less than
it is. And the length of the sessions
of the House of Commons and Con-
gress would be a good deal shorter
too.

There Is No Substitute
The Commerce Department at
Washington tells us that Germany
is making eggs. At least, it says
that country, has developed a sub-
stitute for eggs from fish and milk,
in an endeavor to curtail its egg im-
ports.
From fish meat, we are told, a pro-
tein substance has been extracted
which can be used instead of eggs in
baking, candy, mayonnaise, i c e
cream and many other products.
And another egg substitute, also
being produced commercially, is • a
dried milk albumen which can be
beaten into a firm, snow foam that
looks like the beaten white of an
egg.
That may be all right for cakes,
candy, ice cream and other unessen-
tial and unnecessary food, but when
it comes down to ham and — and
other Iife savers and body builders,
there is no substitute 'for the real,
hen fruit. There never has, and
there never Will be!

THE WONDERLAND OF BOTANY
• We are going ato try this year 'to
present our readers with some spe-
cial information of a botanical nature
—statistics is just • another word ,for
information. It will be appropriate,
therefore, to present to your a ,very
beautiful little story on the "Wonder-
land of Botany," written by E. W.
Hart, of the Division of Botany and
Plant Pathology, of the Department
ef Agriculture. Mr. lart writes:
In the wonderland of botany there
is an enchantment with the quality of

la the very heart of beauty and ad-
venture. To be lured thus is the
wish of most of us—a wish attainable
by' all.
One of the 'botanical wonders of the
world is surely the supreme beauty
of our Canadian woodland in June;
as we roam through the trunk-ealirmn-
ed aisles and transepts of our aselov-
ed maples. Each leafy glade bealomes.

Of all midsummer's, that of Canada.
is to us the most lovely, when the,
sun and sky combine Weenier te
chant one harmonious song of the -
joy of life; when the hay fills the air
-with a drowsy fragrance of soporific
and most alluring sweetness, and.
from wood and copse, from every
tree and hedgerow the birds are car-
olling in blithe chorus.
Flowers are all racing one another

enjoy their full share of sunlight. The -

We may venture into the land of the

abroad and gasp in the humidity of
tropical forests; enjoy the mystic
scents of Araby; circle the globe te
the Antipodes; wander over arid des-

probably for all time.
In the course of our travels in that.

,Can Japan Hold On ?
The question is being asked In ac-
cents of varying hopefulness all over
the world today e 'How long can Ja-
pan stand the wan strain? It is wide-
ly assumed that, since Japan is a
poor country and warfare is expensive
the Island Empire must sooner or
later come to the end of its resourc-
es. It is on this belief that China's
war strategy of prolonged resistance
in the interior, supplemented by guer-
rilla activity in Japanese -occupied re-
gions, is largely based. Few intelli-
gent Chinese anti.apate sweeping vic-
tories over fiber Japanese forces in
the open field,. What they hope for is
that China will prove to possess
more stamina and ,staying power in a
war of attrition. The agitation for
sanctions or economic discriminations
against Japan also has .a bearing,
since it is believedthat the economy
of the Island Empire !night not long
endure the double strain of war ef-
fort and outside economic' pressure.
Now, of course, it would be a very
much overaimplified view of the sit-
uation to conceive that Japan has a
certain amount of money with which
to run the war and that it must quit
when this sum fis exhausted. Ever
since the wars of antiquity, when wo-
men in besieged cities gave their
their to be used as bowstrings,. war
bas been the generator of sacrifice,
of substitution., of elasticity. When
a (*teary gees to war it throws into
the balance not only itsarmed forces,
not only its financial reserves in the
shape of gold and internationally vat
id currencies, but all Its manpower,
all the resources of its, citizens', whe-
ther measured in labor or in. capital.
Japan's war bill can be footed ap
wibh a fair degree of accuracy. It
is in the ne'igh'borhood of 10,000,000
yen (approximately $2,800,000) per
day. But Whenone begins to add. up
Japan's, means of meeting thisbill
one has W take into caleUlation Many
elastic and imponderable factors: the
efficiency with, which the state can
mobilize industrial resources, tor in-
etance, the extent to which the poo -
traria cam endure ;deprivation without
suffering a loss in productivity, the
succes,s or failure of Japan in ex-
tracting from Chine Ode or that im-
portant Mineral or agricultural pro-
duct.
Japan is passing on part of the cost
of the war to the future and is meet-
img another part through economies
and deprivations which are imposed
on the population. More than. 90
per cent of the cost of the war is
being fitaineed out of neweisetree of
state Wads. This does Thot, hoover,
S....fee:4a
exempt the people from the pinch of
war. For, with a view to keeping its
balance of international, payments in
order, Japan /has placed its foreign
trade under severe state control.
War orders receive priority, orders
f rom firms which are engaged in ex- wonderland we will not always meet
port trade are in a secondary prefer- with such lovely things as our Cana
ential position. Luxuries, simple com• dian. June; for there is an ugly aa
forts, many things which in America well as a beautiful side to Nature
would be regarded as necessities. are Nature is a stern dictatrix. She can
barred out. When the people buy
new textiles they find that staple
fiber is heavily mixed with cotton or
wool. Every month taxicabs become
a little scarcer and buses more crowd-
ed because of the policy of conserv-
ing gasoline. The figures on the re-
duction of imports of matey import-
ant raw materials, are eloquent. Im-
ports ef cotton and rubber in 1938
were half of the 1937 figures. Wool
was cut down by 69 per cent., pulp
by 63 per cent., timber by 57 per cent.
Japan Is feeling the war not in any
big crisis of undernourishment or
breakdown of transportation, but in
a dozen little ways. If something
goes amiss with the radiator in, a
steambeated house the chances are
that the particular gadget which is
needed to repair it is not obtainable.
No new schools are being built; no
new telephones arebeinginstalled.
Nonmilitary constructions' requiring
the use of steel and other valuable
metals has been almost completely
suspended. Coal in a biting .Japanese
winter is more expensive and harder
to get.
Japan's ability to weather the war
strain depends very largely on its
success or failure in solving the two
outstanding economic problem's which
the American. -regards the dollar, as
"real money."
More serious', perhaps, than the
problem of internal inflation' is the
question of how Japan is to continue
to finance imports of war materials
from abroad. Japan's economy is
normally basted on large imports of
raw materialswallah are mostly work-
ed up and exported in. the farm of
cheap manufactured geode. Receipts
from shipping (irt which Japan is the
third nation in the world) and from
tourist expenditures ,help to keep the
balance .of payments in order.
At the present time Japan still has
a, sum of 501,000,000 yen worth of
gold which is earmarked as a re-
serve for the cturency. There is lit-
tle other Visible gold at the desposi-
am of the Government, although
