They just filled in their registra- tion cards as a matter of form, and let it go at that. And what leads us to that belief is the fact that we have been repeat- edly asked to furnish a second regis- tration certificate to replace the or- iginal one that has been carelessly misplaced or lost. This. would ap- pear to indicate that the registra- tion card is not looked upon as an essential possession to our every- day peace of mind, welfare and per- sonal convenience as well as safety. It 'would be just as well for people to disabuse their minds of that idea right now. And just as well, in fact just as imperative for . the Govern- ment to insist on .such a change. . Otherwise the million or so that was expended on the National Registra- tion will be thrown away, an inex- cusable act upon the part of any gov- ernment at any time, and still more •-inexcusable on, the part of the pres- ent government at the present time. The object of the recent registra- tion was twofold. The first was to make it impossible for any person, man or woman, to travel about the country . without the government having a complete check upon his identity, as well as a knowledge of his place of residence, his -means, of,. livelihood and his racial origin. The second was- to place in the' government's hands a complete list of Canadians who could perform and would be available tujperform any work of national importance should a national emergency arise. To make this registration as com- plete aspossible, it will be necessary, for the Government, as quickly as , possible, to make a very thorough examination of Canada's population; as persons and individuals.. And the only way to do that is to make sure every individual has a registration certificate -upon his or her ,person. This examination will mean a lot of work for the police and other pub- lic officials, -but ..it is quite evident that if it is not performed at' once the object of . this part •of .the regis- tration, which is almost "entirely a police object, will have failed entire- ly, because it is the people who most need watching who will have failed to register, and who will be without registration certificates, unless they are obtained unlawfully. The latter is not at all an impos- sible feat, because the very nature of the voluntary, assistance made it possible for blank cards to get into many hands with the unintentional possibility that they might receive a wide circulation. For this reason, if no other, an immediate check up should be made.' Obviously the °start of a thorough investigation- •should be made on per- sons who are 'constantly moving from place to place, whether by car or rail. Traffic police could look af- ter,the cars and conductors could in- sist on registration cards as well as tickets being produced. But that alone would not be suf- ficient. Private cars should be sub- jected to a constant and thhojrough in- spection, not only on the highways, but on the less travelled roads, which registration evaders would be most likely to use. The public would be inconvenienc- ed of course, but the public, so' far, has little cause to complain about Goverment regulations, and all ,loyal citi2ens will take the inconven- ience in good part. As for the other t td, it Inatters little how they take or 'like it., ' Go ernment should imniedi- ,a,i thoroughly liar 'nese• on the dple that t le n pos • .L;#:r O TIVRI ,E OS session- of a registration card or the possession of an improperly obtain- ed one, is a very serious offence against the -peace, .order and good government regulations, and as such, should be treated seriously. A few stiff' examples of severity now would go a long way in induc- ing the people to take the registra- tion seriously. All loyal citizens have registered and will carry reg- istration cards upon their persons at all times.. Likewise, all loyal citizens will back up every ••effort of the authorities to see that every one else carries a registration card as well. R ` 1'Ei ll ER 6, 1940 • The Burden Of Taxation When the people of Canada talk about the burden of taxation, it would do them a lot of good, as well as relieve their pocket soreness, to read a little about taxation in -other countries—Great Britain, for in- stance. The income tax in Britain is eight shillings and six pence in'the pound. In addition, there is a super tax on all .incomes over twenty thousand pounds which just leaves the happy owner two shillings out of levery pound for spending money. But why worry? The average man should be able to carry on fairly well with an income of twenty .thousand pounds, or even less. But tax percentages do not mean much to the average person unless they are workedout in ,terms of ac- tual incomes, which was done the other day in the British House of Commons. And here is the way it works out: Prime. Minister Winston Churchill's salary is ten thousand pounds 'a year. But what he actually gets out of it is three thousand, eight hundred and seventy-three pounds. Mr. Church- ill, of 'course,' has a large private come besides his salary, but he real- ly enjoys even a smaller part of that, as the super tax takes the most of it. In fact, to haveten thousand a year, that was really his own and which he' could live on. or spend as he pleased, he would have to have an income of sixty-eight thousand pounds: AIT' the rest would go to the income tax man. British Cabinet Ministers fare a littleetter than the Priine Minister. Out of a salary of five thousand pounds a year they are allowed to keep twenty-six . hundred pounds ; and the Chief Justice, whose salary is eight thousand pounds, actually gets away with only thirty-five hun- dred. pounds. It would 'seem, however, that of the British officials, the Archbishop of Canterbury is the most unlucky of all. That official who' Chas two impos- ing palaces -to keep up, hasto do it on four thousand, seven 'hundred and thirty-three pounds out of a stipend of fifteen thousand pounds... Viewed in the light of British tax- ation, we, in Canada, are not suffer- ing too cruelly, are we? WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY: The Royal Navy (Vancouver.. Daily Province) The right answer to the 'challenge of the dic- tators has been given in the ceaseless vigil of Britain's navy, which has. never known the name of retreat, in the unmeasured devotion of Bre taiix's fighting airmen, whto have wiped ou the numerical odds against --them by virtue of their superior quality. When Hitler's men co 'e, if they' come, they will find awaiting them an op- ponent that has taken their measure. . Mushrooms and Steak h (Windsor Star) There is a widespread but apparently emote eons belief that a mushroom is nothing but an edible fungus that can be slapped down and push- ed over at will, because it is one of the "softies" of the vegetable world. Now, reports from Sar- nia 'state that musthroomis there are so hard- boiled they are breaking through three inches of asphalt. After this, perhaps, It will be better to say mushrooms and, stag instead of steak and ,mushrooms, just to be on the safe side. Border Red Tape Removed (Detroit Free Press) .

Boyle) - • "HARVEST HELP" He was thin and pale .. but as heassured me . . . quite "wiry" when I met him at the station. It was late evening and the train had pulled out leaving .the station, plat- form in duskiness, and his face was blurred and indistant from the shad- ed green light, pouring out from the operator's desk. There was some- thing in his voice though . . , . an eagerness as if he was on some new adventure. • "I was kinda anxious to gat out on a farm," he said, "and that's why I'• wrote to see if you wanted help for the harvest. I've never been on a farm before, but I'll sure do my best. You don't need to, bother about wages. I got quite an appetite and it's going .to• take a lot to feed me. Aunt Martha said I'd eat more than 1 was worth. But I'll try my best. I'm not afraid of work."

"You're not mad because I'm small, are you?" he ventured timidly. "Son," I said he all sincerity, "out here on the farm we dont base ev- erything on size. Some of the best farmers of the district are 'little men. It's not your size or your experience but rather whether you want to work or not rates you with us.'' He sighed in a sort of relieved way and went back to staring out the car window until we turned up into th laneway and came tree, stop in front c,f the yellow rectangle of light from the kitchen door. He hopped out and grasped his snvall bundle, and timidly stayed back as Mrs. Phil .was framed in the doorway. Her friendliness relieved him.

FUST A SMILE OR TWO A (certain actor, who walked across the stage in a -street scene of'a third rate drama, Was fondof telling his friends what he would accomplish when he had a speaking part.

He was booked, for a coming pnaduc- tion: He was to appear in one of the scenes and say two words: "It is':" For three weeks he rehearsed nightly bfore his mirror, trying all sorts of gestures, expressions, tones, until he felt perfect.

They Tell Em Where •• • To Head In (By Betty O'Neil in Christian Science: Monitor) Nearly everybody, it would seem, has seen or heard about La Guardia Field, New York's Municipal airport, the largest in the world. Thousands of people visit the held eve'ny day, but few, probably, pay much attention to the many-sided glass enclosure atop the Administration Building. That is the control tower. Places flying into, out of, or over the airport are direct- ed from this room. Its 'guiding light; •one ,of the operato=rs- who tells your plane where to head in, is a young man named Bill Darby. "Mine is a job thatevolved because of a need," he told me.'' "As air travel became heavy, various centers like Newark and Cleveland had to regulate traffic in their Vicinity, so they established (control towers equip- ped with two-way radio communica- tion om sz inica- tion which enabled the operators to see as well as talk with planes. Any likely man, around the Airport was hustled into service. I ,was one of them. Harry Brady, here, started 10 years ago in Cleveland, the first city to have a ,control tower!' When New York was' ready to man the control tower of the new airport, the air lines submitted names of .20 operators whom they considered out- standing.. 'From these the Mayor chose six. His representative visited each man, spoke with trim, saw him in action, ,and thee selected the four who work int the control roam at La Guardia Field. 'Bill Darby was made chief. The story is a heartening il- lustration of "what you know" being more important than "who Pau know." Even a veteran like Mr. Brady says that dull moments are unknown in the control tower. The forward sec- tion of the rather small room Is flank- ed with a row of loud -speakers, giv- ing out •conversations going on be- tween planes In the New York area, or between ground and planes in this vicinity. Mrr Darby and hits associ- ates, reply only when they hear: "Calling La Guardia Plead." The operator in charge usually 'sits in a chair mounted on small rubber wheels. A microphone, .mounted in an instrument that looks like a tele• phone, is kept on the broad arm of the chair. The seated, operator whirls from one loud -speaker to another re- ceiving messages. Numerous receiv- ing seta are necessary, because each air tine has.its awn frequency,' like WEAF, or illy other •broadcasting station. The aimport has one loud- gtpeaker attuned to "each air 'line's ra- dio wave. The operator to the con- trol tower answers threttili lhia micro- phone. In the front la this small room is a recording clock wed& frokfiteits on' paper the arrival and departure of planes. Official time is that instant when the_wheels of the ,pique touch or leave . the • ground. Instruments show the wind velocity .and wind .di- rection. Switches, control landing lights for night flying. Small lights border the runways and large flood- lights head the landing lanes. Only the runway that is to be used is lighted. ' On a large desk in the • center of the roam is a chart where a record is kept of every plane which enters or leavee the airpant. In the rear a machine con'tinu'ously types weather reports gathered from ail parts of the country, adding its rat -a -tat to the din from the loudspeakers. Two 'men are usually on •duty, One con- trols the planes and the other re cards their movements on, a large chart. Events leading up to a take -off went something like this: A pilot ready to leave phoned the control tower. The operator Mold him to roll into plane on the taxi strip leading to the runway anti' behind an ,air liner which had preceded him. Wihen, the mom- ent came for him td leave, he was directed froni the 'centro." tower to proceed to the' taxi strip at the head of the runway. (Only one plane at a time is allowed on the runway.) On a signal he took off. While I watched, six planes were cleared. in 13 -minutes. .To hear a voice in the same room give 'an order and then see• an air liner almost half a mile away nsespond so quickly that It seem- ed as if the, mind behind the voice was the mind in the plane, was indeed thrilling. La Guardia Field has four runways. The wind direction.' deter- mines the one to be used. Planes take off and land heading ,into the wind. What with giving inooming air lin- ers their traffic (that is, planes com- ing toward. them), telling outgoing ones already in the fair the tinfe ,their wheels left the r•round, and clearing the airport 'of planes scheduled to leave, the operator was Maitiaging a threeeeng ellen f. 'Wets of incoming planes' usually call It .first at a point about 15 miles from the airport," Bill Darby told me. "We tell, them their traffic, then.
