Line COMMITTEE HOPEFUL THAT LINE WILL' BE KEPT OPEN FOR TRIAL AT INCREASE IN REVENUE The Board of Transport Commis- sioners, meeting with the Local Com, mittee represet}tative of the1 Municip- alities affected by the closing of the railway litre .iroan Clinton to Whtgham, in Goderich .on Monday and Tuesday, decided to defer their judgment for the time being. on whether the line should be closed or not. The decision was reached after reasons had been presented by members of the commit - toe and several lawyers representing some of the Municipalities was heard, Attending from Blyth, were Reeve W. H. 'Merritt. and Councillor Ab, Taylor, and when they returned home on Monday evening, their report of the meeting wsa• not very encourag7 ing. However 'on Tuesday a strong defence for the continuar ce of the Line changed the aspect considerably, and local members of the committee were quite hopeful that the. Line would at least be left open tuntil an increase in revenue might be shown. Representing the Township of Hul- lett, Frank. Fingland, K. C. of Clin- ton,, declared that the abandonment of this railway line, Clinton to Wing - ham, part of the old Loddon, Huron and Bruce line, will be a distinct loss not only to the people of the territory it serves but to the country as a whole. "The Township of !.Hullett, which I represent, gave a subsidy of $25,000 to the comrpany which built the railway in 1871146 and was guar- anteed a train service in perpetuity. New the C.N.R. wants to scrap the road !because it lost $25,000in three years, 1037.39, inclusive. It takes no account of the money it made over a long period of years. "All the three townsl ips affected subsidized the railway to the extent of &5,000 and have agreements guar- anteeing compensation should the line cease to function at any titno: Wo were given no warning that any such action as this was to be taken. There was no publicity given out so that our citizens might take steps to remedy anatters. "The loss is only $30 a day and col�a1d epaily be made up by increased -business if the people were made alive to the .situation. I maintain we should not 'be cut off from our ,� , rights under this contract," said Mr. Fingland, R. S. Hetherington, K.C., argued that the 23 miles of railway which it is proposed to 'close should bo given credit for the bridge traffic on busi- ness emanating at other points which passed over the line 1n question, This he said, would more than offset the lose. The Lacknow flour mills, for instance paid, $1.7,000 a year for freight on grain hauled froet. Goderich, This alone was more than double the loss in natl. If the lino was aban- doned this revenue would bo entirely lost. He quoted other similar cases. The Lucknow mill, after 75 years' opera- tion, would be forced to shut down because the grain rate from Goderich to.Lucknow via Stratford and Listow- el, twice the present distance would be dobbled from six' to 12 cents a hundred, while the milling in transit rate would be increased from two and a half to four cents completely wip- ing out his profit and making it imt possible for him to compete. "Thousands and thousands of dol- lars are going to be last to the Village of Lucknow", counsel exclaimed. "Your point is that the C.N.R. is a publicly -owned line and that in the closing, of any part of it the general interests of the whole people should be considered?" asked Chief Com- missioner• Cross. 'Exactly. If the Canadian National had met truck competition and gone after business this condition' of af- fairs would never have arisen," re- plied Mr, Hetherington, Counsel asked that if the board should make an order closing the road that the road bed be left undis- turbed so that at least a freight ser- vice could be maintained. Its lieu of this he asked that if the line -was abandoned that all freight rates be based on ,the assumption that it was still there. A. D.-. MacDonald pointed out that the $966 loss in 1930 on the stretch of railway in question was a distinct operating one and had nothing to do with the taxes paid. He emphasized that the C.N.R., contrary to plublic belief, had not had an operating loss since 19£ti, Last year it had an op - orating profit of 45 million. It was because of interest and taxes that were paid that the railway showed a loss and it was the policy of the company that where a branch lino showed an operating loss it sought to abandon that line. Railway counsel maintained that the people of three townships which has sudskllzed the road to the extent of $86,000 had got full value for their money over a long period of years in the opening up and development of the country. However, the claim for a repayment of the bonuses was a matter for the courts. He again em- phasized- that the steel rails that would be'salvaged by the closing of the lite was of primo importance to the country as a whole in war time be -- cause they were badly needed else - .where, Witnesses hoard were Robert Coul- tea; Cecil Wheeler, Harvey Black, James Michie, Reeve Redmond, all farmers of the territory affected They estimated their loss at $50 to $.100 a year it the railway Line was closed. The fact that the railway ran through, a snow belt and that No, 4 highway was blocked for days at a time also was emphasized.. Albert Taylor, _manufacturer o f Blyth, said there was $(5,000 a year more freight business in Blyth it the �railwiri would go after it.

The gaane was ex- ceedingly rough and poorly refereed but in spite of this, did not get out of control until just after a well known Blythite tossed 25c worth of pepper- mints at the aging referee "Puddi- combe". This seemed to be the start- er for the free-for-all, as immediately afterwards the veteran Archie Hubert took a fling ' at a Waterloo player.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON 4 of Steel Guards Britain From Invasion LESSON VII JESUS TEACHES FORGIVENESS AND GRATITUDE Luke 17. PRINTED TEXT, Luke 17; 1-4, 11.19 GOLDEN TEXT—Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiv Ing each other, even as God salso in Christ forgave you. p ians 4; 32, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—All the events spoken of in this chapter occurred between - January and March, A,D, 30, Place,—The teaching and the prophetic utterances of Christ in this chapter wEre given iu Poraea; the miracle of the healing of the ten lepers .occurred near the bor- der of Samaria. • The first two verses of the les- son night be found easily the most Practical of the entire chapter. fa them we are taught a lesson we all need to have continually em- phasized in .our own hearts and lives—tamely, the terrible con damnation which God will mete out to those who cause the followers of Christ. the children of God, to t,tumble, to fall into sin. Offending the Little Ones Luke 17; 1, "And he said unto disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe unto him:through whom they come; 2. It were well for him if a millstone were hang- ed about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble." What a large branch of a tree would prove to a traveller thriving forty miles an hour down a highway, it thrown suddenly across his path, is what an occasion of shimbling would be to anyone in the moral realm. The verse implies that we have a dlr• ect influence over other , people, more extensive in some people than in others but, nevertheless, deiiiute and direct, Furthermore, we are responsible for the influ- ence which we exert upon other people; the Lord will certainly hold us responsible when we cause other people to stumble la walking the road of life, By the phrase "these little ones," our Lord re- fers probably not only to children, but to the children of God and es- pecially to those who have just begun their Christian life,'or those who are, as It were, still weak in their faith. Forgiveness Seven Times 3, 4. Take heed to yourselves; if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him," There are • two specific injunctions in these two verses: we are to rebuke those who have mistreated us; if they repent, we are to forgive them. By rebuking others, our Lord means we are to first point out tht fact of the sin itself, and them, see - only, we are to reveal taotfutly to this person how deadly the guilt of that sin is Forgivenes-s is based on the man's repentance. If the man shall sin seven times, and say he repents, we are to forgive him. Better to secure the sanctity and beauty of our own character by being ready to forgive seven times, even though the man, is not sin - _ care, than by refusing forgiveness to a truly repentant soul, be in danger 'of becoming a stumbling block in his way. Miracle of Healing 11. "And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee, 12. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off; 13, and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus„Master, have mercy on us. 14. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests,' And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed." What .we are particularly inter- ested in in this passage 1s 'the strange command of Christ to these Lepers that they should go and allow themselves unto the priests, In the first place there is here, a keen trial of faith. With no signs of restoration as yet upon them, they were bidden to do that which implied they were perfectly re• stored, in their prompt obedleuce, they declared plainly that some weak beginnings of faith were working in them. Expert odinicn is practically unanimous that an invasion of Britain will be attempted this spring or summer, The same experts concede that it will be a costly undertaking, for Britain is prepared now as she never was before, Around her shores are powerful guns, tank traps and other devices that aro designed to make it uncomfortable for tres- passers. Not the least important in the steel ring of defences are the batteries of mobile howitzers held in readiness at various strategic points whence they can be Tushed to any part of the defence lines that need strengthening. ABOVE you see some of these stubby, but power- ful guns in transit and in firing position. At TOP, a howitzer mounted on its mobile carriage being taken over a snowy road. CENTRE, un- loading theun at its position, BOTTOM, a battery all ready to shower out the "welcoming confetti. Where Are The Others? 15, "And one of them, when he stew that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God; 16. and he tell.upon lite face at hie feet, giving him thanks; and be was a Samaritan, 17. And Jesus ixuswering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the uiue? 1s, Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, .save We stranger?" The others tvcre • perhaps afraid that ,now the Mast. k. would Lave a.claim upon them and .would begin to press it. Ile who had given them thelr Health lght demand their loyalty; ani ey were not ready to yield it. They may have felt thele Bene- factor was no longer necessary to them now that the pressure of ur- gent want was past, 19. "And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith bath made thee whole" The nine, too, were healed—but, their faith pro• duced nothing more. This man's trust remained, brought the fruit of gratitude and was on the way to still more. Thla man was on the way to full salvation. Public Health Nurses Scarce Victorian Order In Canada Needs More .Graduates For Thli Service A two-month course each year in public health nursing, tor graduate nurses interested in the work, is helping to meet a "scarcity". of public health nurses, Miss Maude Hall, acting chief superintendent of the Victorian Order,. of Nurses says. Mia Hall, speaking at a meeting of the executive council of the Or- der, said the course is given at Toronto and Montreal. The course was given in 1940 and another group is expected to enrol this year. Graduates axe employed by the Order, on the understanding that they take a further advanced pub• lie health nursing course at a university within two years. At the completion of this course, the nur- ses continue their work with the Victorian Order.

Our Blind Spot Et eryono is partially blind. That is to say, there is a small "blind spot" in every human eye.. You can test it for yourself by making two black ,spots on a sheet of paper, about eyes -width apart. Hold the paper at arm's length, close one eye and stare fixedly at one spot. You will bo able to see both of ,;hem. Now slowly move the paper nearer to your face, still staring at one spot. At a certain point the other spot will completely vanish from sight. The brain is slow to "wipe off" an image which the eye has recorded, If you stare at a bright red spot for a while, then glance up at the ceiling, you will see the same spot ' apparently floating in the air, but it will Wear .green instead. • When you go to the cinema, you do not ace actual "moving" pictures, but a rapid succession of still pictures, each slightly different from the previous one. There is a mo- mentary black -out between each, but the brain is not quick en- ough to observe it, and this "re- tention of vision" produces the illusion of movement.

Shoes Step Out In Radiant Hues Smart Designs Also Are Seen For Spring Wear—Pumps Win Popularity Poli Proudly stepping along in the vanguard of • spring fashions are shoes, introducing to the new sea- son a legion of colorful, smart, and . wearable styles. The keynote to feminine footwear styling, as set at Chicago's recent Natioltat Shoe Fair, is slighly paradoxical; more dressy details for tailored shoes and stronger tailored trends for dress -up• types. Your preference for pumps, as'ev'idenced during the • year past; has been heeded by de- signers, and once more this type will be twinning tato popularity poll. Again, in the news are pumps with , low-cqt and' rounded insteps, and an' amazing assortment of how -like trims, - Many of the shoe styles stent from America's own exciting pion- eer period, and highlight Western designs, and themes train Indian footwear, Others are born from to- day's stirring times, and portray a strong liking for `patriotic motifs and colors, including many clever derivations of sailor designs.

CHAMBERS Valentine Suggestions I am not giving you any par- ticular menu in the column this week 'but first we'll have a gen- eral discussion and then some re- cipes. 'Your entertaining might take the foram of a . buffet sup- per and for that we right away visualize a lacey, tablecoth de- corated with hearts according to your own caste and maybe a nose- gay bouquet in the centre, (which. might be flowers or could be made out of gum drop candies on a paper doily). The whole should convey the impression of an 'old fashioned valentine. Pretty white porcelain candlesticks bearing red candles would add much to the elect. On your table, whether a party buffet supper or fancily supper, your color scheme throughput should •have red pre- dominating as much as possible so with that in mind, we 'would suggest your table have the fol- lowing goodies: PLENTY OF RED Toi»ato juice -is' ulconpa{rallit for the above purpose, especially if placed in tall clear glasses. Then again it might he tomato soup peeping out, which is very appealing after a skating or ski- ing party. Did you ever try add- ing chopped browned almonds .to - your soup — it real/ gives it quite a zest. Potato rods, (which recipe has been given several times) always make a splendi. accompaniment to any meat dish for this type of supper. Then again potato chips are always ap- petizing." That meat dish might be cold sliced harm or a chicken or tuna jelly, Then did you ever make tomato tarts? ' Make same tart shells — and fill with a to- mato jelly made thus: - 1 package of strawberry jelly powder and pour over it tomato juice (strained) and boiling,• of course; when luke warn add 1 tablespoon of horseradish. When the mixture reaches a honey -like consistency, pour into the tart shells — then chill, These tarts are an excellent acconmpaniment to any meat dish. For your dessert you are probably having jellies or ice cream and if you wish a new cake recipe, try this one:— Almond Layer Cake 2 cups sifted flour (cake) teaspoons baking powder teaspoon salt 376 cup butter 1 cup granulated sugar (very fine) 2 eggs !; cup milk 1•1 teaspoon pure vanilla int teaspoon almond extract Measure flour and sift twice with baking powder and salt. Ciean the butter and gradually blend in sugar.

When.the Nazis came to power, one•third of Germany's employable population - ivas out of work. The recovery which took placr .in the next few years was, in effect, an armament boom, of the type we have seen in many countries before and since that time, And' as usually octans when an. armament boom gets under way at a time 01 heavy unem• ploymont, the building up of the Ger• man war machine was accompanied, at first, by some increase in the av erase standard of living, By 1936, the. average had probalbly risen- by about 10 per cent from the desperately low level of 1932. After the militarization of the Rhineland, however, the Nazis were able to arm more openly and ,speedily, From toren on', despite con- tinuing efforts to increase total pro. duction as rapidly as possible, mili- tary requirements rose so sharply that some curtailment • of the volume of goods and services being produced to meet non•snilitary, needs became inev- 1table. The government 'did not at- tempt to conceal this fact from the German people. On the contrary, as early as December 1936, General Goer- ing was telling• the peoplethey had to dhoose beltween "gun's"' and "butter". By 1038, the German economy had been pushed close to the limit of its productive capacity. Thereafter, as war'preparations were stepped up, and as war began, production devoted to meeting civilian neests had to' be re• dured sharply. The most recent fig- ures available indicate that the 'aver- age standard of living in 1040 was lower than that of 1932+. This is not surprising. No reason able person would expect that any na• I 1 tion could build a. war machine such as Germany had developed by tho t spring of 1940, without imposing sev ere, privations upon its people. How- . . ever, the subject of this memorandum c is not the magnitude of Germany's military effort, nor even the magnitude of the material sacrifices winch it re. qaired. What we are concerned with e is the financial technique which the Nazis used in bringing about the nect essary sacrifices, Their method of finance did not de- b termino the total weighht of the burden of sacrifice. This depended upon the u scale of tho armament and war pro• p gramme and, consequently, the amount of productive capacity left over to meet non•military needs. What the government's financial ,policy did del tervnine, however, was the manner of 1 distributing the burden among the 9 people. With a burden of such untpre- b carefully it was spread, the heavier would be the armament and war load which they could be made to bear, The financial methods which the Nazis have adopted will be examined brief.>, under the three headings of taxation, borrowing, and the creation of newmoney. 1. How far have the Nazis taxed?On this polnt there Is simple and con- clusive evidence. In the fiscal yea. ending March 1941, according to a re• cent official estimate, Reich Govern anent tax collections will be a+pproxi•. mately 30,000000,000 Reichsmarks* ur about on'e•third of Germany's total national income. In Canada, durius. the same period, Dominion Gov'arn• ment revenues will be about one•sixtl, of total national income. In the Uni• ted Kingdom the proportion will proms ably be sonnet:hilg more than one-fifth. Including tho levies of the states (et .provinces) and local governments, the German people are paying in, taxes at least one-third more, in relation te their Income, than are the people of Canada. In addition to formal taxes Germans have also to make substan• tial direct payments to- their govern. ment in the form of Party dues, Win ter Relief Fund donations, and othez: special "contributions"which aro Just as compulsory as taxes, , Clearly, therefore, the Nazis &lave not avoided heavy taxation. On the contrary, their policies would indicate they believe taxation to be one of the best methods of financing war. be• cause they 'have pushed it to unparal. led lengths, In spite of the fact that Nazi taxes occupy a stratosphere all their own, they have. of course, faller+ short of meeting the whole cost of arm- ament and war. Pow, then, have the Nazis financed the rest of their mili- tary expenditures? The answer is, mainly by borrowing from the public, i.e. from corporations (other •than banks) and from the people. 2, Before the Party came to pnwer, one of the most popular planks in its platform was the pn'dertaking to "break the bondage of interest slav- ery", lay ery", but this slogan was discarded soon after the Nazis took office. Their statistics show that up to. September 30; 1940, they had increased, the Reich's internal funded debt by 3'1,030; 000,000 Reichsmarks. Moreover, they are paying interest rates of 4 per cent, 4% per cent, or higher on all of this debt,- Only in 11941 have they sold bombs at a rate below 4 per cent, ana even tho 31,E per cent coupon on their• January issue is somewhat higher than the rates which prevail, for example, in Canada or the United Kingdom. As' at September 30, 1'940, the disclosed increase in short terin debt under the Nazi Government was 27,000,000,000 Reichsmarks, a substantial part of which was placed with industrial and cbmnnerc1al corporations. 4 Oat 1 UX Y THEATRE, CLINTON.Now Playing: The Gleas- ons in "The Earl of Pud- dlestone," Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday TOM BROWN AND CONSTANCE' MOORE A fan•fest for old and young, guar- anteed to banish the worst case of, blues • "MA!

As for the peroid since the war began, the avail- able information aug•ses.ts that thr Ivolume of money has been increased considerably less in Germany than it has been in Canada, on a per capita com'par'ison. A realistic appraisal of Nazi mone- tary policy must, of course, take acs count of the very complete and rigor- ous system of direct controls which t'he rulers of Germany have imposed upon their people, For example, near- ly every article of consumption is ra- tioned, wage levels and farm prices are rigidly pegged down, and the op. ';rations of private busmness are "sum rvi-ed" in minute detail. With such controls in operation, the immediate danger involved in an unduly large in- crease in .the volume of money would obviously be leas than it would be if the controls did not exist. The fact that the Nazis did not resort to Jelin;new money on an. exaggerated scale is all the more significant in view of th margin of safety which they migh have expected their elaborate (Weecontrols to provide: CANADA'S WAR EFFORT e t indicated. gressivo. 111.

Two hun- dred thousand additional men and women required during 1941 for war ndustries. The most unusual feature 'of Nazi policy as regards b'orrowin'g has been the degree of compulsion applied tb enders. In addition to rigid control of the capital market, which has in prac- ice forced ordinary investments flans nto government securities, the Nazis 'suggest" quotas for those whom they onsider able to lend. In this respect much of the Nazis' borrowing has been no more voluntary than taxation, nor has it been much less restrictive in its ffect upon private expenditures. 3, Finally, how far have the Nazis .1 'ranted their military effort through ncreasing the volume of money, either' y borrowing from banks or by print-. ng currency? No comprdhensive fig- t res are yet available dealing with the eriod since the actual outbreak of war. At that time, however, the Ger- man economy had, in effect, been on a war footing for well over a,year, and according to Herr Hitler's statement t n Septeunfber 1009, the vast sum of 0,000,000,000 Reichsmarks had already een spent on the war machine.

Toner Ontario Federation of Anglers (NO. 29) GAME BIRDS FEWER In last week's column I told Low a treaty was signed between the United States and Canada for the protection of migratory birds, For awhile after this became law naturalists thought that the birds were amply protected. Spring shooting had been stopped, close steams were lengthened and bag limits lowered. The song birds and insectivorous birds were pro- tected at all times and I believe they have increased somewhat with this protction. The game birds, however,, did ;not seem t9_ respond, the decline in their num- hers continuing. This decline was due to a num- ber of. causes. Many more hunt - .ere werein the marshes each fall, The development —of' -the mot'o'r car enabled city dwellers to reach' many areas that were formerly almost sanctuaries... Last year, in the United States, over 1,000,- 000 ,000,000 hunters brought duck stamps to place on their licenses AS re- quired by law. This great army of hunters are taking more than the annual. increase each year. A Number of Causes Another cause for the decline came from the spread of agri- culture across the prairies. Many nesting grounds were destroyed by the plough or by the tramp- ling of cattle. Drainage schemes, throughout both the Canadian and American west, helped cut down the breeding grounds. About 1930 a series of drought years across the prairies helped to dry -up many lakes and sloughs where duck formerly bred in great numbers. The birds -had few places left where they could rear their young undisturbed. In• creased numbers of hunters, spread of agriculture and drought were the three great causes of the decline in numbers of the ducks. Some Ducks Near Extinction The situation in the early thir- ties became acute and some kind of ducks were on the verge of ex- tinction. 'Again the biologists stepped in and helped draw up a program that it was hoped would rave the birds. The seasons were :shortened, baiting and live decoys were forbidden and, most import- ant of all, grat areas were set aside as refuges on the migration routes.- Sanctuaries were estab- lished in the winter homes of the birds. There is still some doubt u to the effectiveness of these meaures which are still in opera- tion, and it may be that an en- tirely closed season for a period of years will be needed if the remnants of the ducks are to be raved. Caves Swallow Plane Factories Swiss Mountains House War Industry Safe Froin Air Raid- ers The existence of aircraft factor- iise in Switzerland capable of dis- appearing into the sides of noun• faina during bombing raids and 1its,appearing after danger passes Ieaa revealed last. week in an inter- view by Antoine Gazda, Swiss in- ventor. Mr. Gazda, 'tvho is a director of tho Oeriikon Machine -Tool works of Switzerland, maker of the Oer- i kon rapid-fire cannon which has been installed in many lnroppean planes, said the disappearing fac- tories were in the region of Lake Lucerne.

"Time" magazine, February 3, was a bit more optimistic: "No British Army even !n the first world war has even been so big (4,000,000 men un- der arms); none has ever had so much practice for such a bitter defensive 'job, The British expect that the Germans may succeed in establishing a few beach -heads. If they do, the defence counts on (1) the Navy to cut off water -borne supply; (2) the R. A. F. to resist air -borne supply and reinforce- ments as well as attacks from their air armies totalling 18,000 planes; (3) the Army to crush the invad- ers on land." Diversion To The South The Canadian expert on military strategy, W. R. Plewmau, wrote last week tlult Germany was has. ing to divert so many first•line planes to the southern front to Italy's aid, that the late winter or early spring attack prepared against Britain could not help but be weakened appreciably, or post• poued for some time.

'Beer Barrel Polka' War's Biggest Hit "South of the Border" Rune A Close Second In England's 8ong.Hlt Parade Biggest song hit of this war is the "Beer Barrel Polka," Canadian soldiers sang it when they debarked in England, Aus- tralian and New Zealaud soldiers sang it when they filed down the gangplank In the Middle Ea'st, Eng• llsh soldiers sang it as they trudg- ed through the mud of France, And shelter -dwellers in London sing it while the bombs whistle down s;bout them. Running a close second on Eng- land's "hit parade" is tho American best-seller "South of the Border," which, incidentally, was written by England's best known song - writing team, Jimmy Kennedy and Michael Carr. It has sold nearly a halt million copies, Third place probably goes to "Wish Me Luck as You Wave Me Good -Bye," with which .Gracie Fields, the English comedienne, sang her way into the hearts of the British army, navy and air force, Some 40,000 copies have been sold. NOTIIING LIRE TIPPERARY Carr, working alone, wrote the song that is in fourth place, "Somowhere in France," whose popularity waned after the British retreat to Dunkirk. But none of ,the songs of this war approaches the sales of Eng- land's hits of the Great War. For instance, "It's a Long Way to Tip- perary, sold 5,000,000 copies, "Roses of Picardy," 3,000,000 and "Keep the Home Fires Burning," more than 1,000,000 copies, Songs symibollzing the universal hope for better days ahead are finding a ready market. One pub- lisher commissioned Irving Berlin to write a song expressing this thought. Berlin produced "It's a Lovely Day Tomorrow," which sold 100,000 copies, Others that have sold well he elude "It's a Hap Hap Happy Day" and "We'll Go. Smiling Along." Poet's 'Licence Years ago at a dinner, Robert W. Service heard a story of the Yukon which gave him an idea for a poem, In a bank ledger he saw a name which struck him as suitable for his principal char- acter, so he wrote about "Sam McGee front Tennessee," who was "always cold, but the land of gold seemed to hold hint like a spell," and told in verse how, at his cremation, Sam admitted that he was comfortably warns at last. Through this poem the or- iginal Sam McGee became fa- mous in the Yukon, although he was mining copper instead of gold, and carte from Ontnrlo in- stead of Tennessee. He died re• cently, but was not cremated. 250,000 Viewed Quints in 1940 Dr. A, R. Dafoc, physician to the Dionne quintuplets, announc- ed that during 1940 approximate- ly 250,000 persons visited the Da - foe Hospital at Callander to see the five little girls, now six years old. Dr. Dafoc said that the number of American visitors declined from previous years but that the number of Canadian visitors showed an increase. Of the total last year, 25 per cent of the visi- tors were from the United States and 75 per cent. were from Can- ada. Ordinarily, he said, the per- centages were the opposite.

The reindeer drive from Alaska started in 1929 and was completed in 1935, when the round -up showed 2,960 on the Canadian reserve. In 1940 there were 6,635 animals. Since 1929 the deer have never been out of sight of their guar- diens, even when huddled togethelr in screaming blizzards at 50 be- low zero, On such nights, said Mr, Hogan, the wolves would choose to strike. There now are three herds, the main group on the' eastern channel of the Mackenzie Rivetti, No, 1 native herd on the Andel!. son Riverand No, 2 herd near Horton River.
