To the Editor
Dear Sir,—
Once again
you know how
on* this northern coast. Wo have had
a very busy summer. Over fifty In
dians have been visiting our Mission
while they were camping in the Fort
fqr over three weeks. Services in
the Indian language were held every
evening and the church was nearly
always filled. I held school for
twenty Indian children as far as
equipment and accommodation per
mitted, We had four Indian mar
riages and seven children were bap
tized. On Wednesday, July 28th,
the Govemer General visited Fort
Norman on his trip to the Coast. We
were pleased to entertain Lord
Tweedsmuir and his party at the
Mission. His Excellency presented
us with nine books. I was privileg
ed to climb Bear Mountain with the
vice-regal party and also to- accom
pany them to the burning coal ledges
on the McKenzie River which .have
been burning since Alexander Mc
Kenzie first came down the river.
Farmers in Ontario would be in
terested to see the very fine oat
fields in front of our Mission; oats
over three feet high and well head
ed.
On Saturday, July 31st, Mrs. Jen-
ning and myself flew down to Good
Hope. I celebrated communinon in
the Hudson Bay dwelling at three
o’clock Sunda' afternoon. For six
days we enjoyed a holiday and rest
waiting to return on tlie S. S. Dis
tributor. Here we met the vice-re
gal part on its way out’ in two R. A.
F. planes.
On Wednesday, August 18th, I
flew over to Great Bear Lake, El

The cere- pressed in miners outfit, I was taken
" down to the. 550 ft. level where the
drillers and muckers were at work.
At 10.30 o’clock a.m. service was
held in the recreation hall. It was
a difficult time for the miners to
attend. I preached on “Christ the
Rock.” The men seemed pleased to
see me and expressed the hope that
I would return in the winter time.
Thursday at 1 .p.m. I left the mine
on the boat The Grand Bear, taking
up quarters in the captain’s cabin.
The lake was very calm and the trip
to the Bear River 210 miles was
made in 2'2 hours. Here the boat un
loaded empty gas drums and bags of
pitchlblende concentrate; loaded
forty tons of dynamite and returned.
Taking up quarters for the evening
on a barge at th,e head of the Bear
River I waited for the next boat.
August 21, Saturday morning, found
me having breakfast sitting on a tin
can with a packing box for a table.
Breakfast consisted of eggs and ba
con, strawberry jam and bread and
butter.
. The next boat, The Radium Lad,
arrived from the head oif the rapids
with a load of construction material
I and dynamite. There ware 265 tons
of pitchblende radium bearing con
centrates on the dock at the head
of the river. While the boat was
loading I visited the cairn of rocks
on the shore of the lake placed
there by explorer Sir John Franklin.
The Radium, made the trip to the
head of the rapids in three hou^s.
It takes fourteen hours to return so
swift is the current. I" wonder if
my readers can imagine ninety tons
oif dynamite in one pile as I found
it at the head of the rapids.
After spending the evening on
boat I walked over the splendid
eight mile portage to the foot of the
rapids. After the Silver Queen, the
next boat had unleaded her freight
I returned with her to Norman on
.Sunday evening in three hours. The

There are over two million house
holds in Canada where women are
busy preparing meals,' washing and
iroiihig and doing the numberless
tasks of homemaking. About half
of these household have from six to
nine rooms to keep clean, and about
7>0i0,000' of them have four to five
rooms. The six thousand which-
•have over 15 rooms1 are likely car

THE EXPLANATION
People wondei’ why there are so many car accidents in the face
of "so many newspaper warnings. But, you see, the majority of
people who have such mishaps do not read the newspapers.
WHY
Farmers are, complaining that grain this yeai’ is below par in
test. Why is this? We had abundance of moisture and sunshine
and heat. What steps is our government taking to answer this
question, that everyone knows to be of primary importance?
********
THEY DON’T KNOW HOW
We were protesting to a large employ ex- of labour because he
■went favafield for his help. “You see it is this way,” he explain
ed, “I would like to employ these fellows near home, but they simp-
' ' ly do not know how to work. They are not geared nor gruelled
for a good stiff day’s work. They simply do not know how to
endure. They can learn the technique of a job all very well, bur
when it comes to sticking it, they simply are not there.”

FORTHRIGHT,
Japan has told the .rest of the world that she has certain plans regarding China that she intends to- carry out, regardless of pro
tests or. representations on their part. So there you are. Japan
does not intend to shillyshally or to waste any time on notes that
she has known to be but scraps of paper. She had no- faith in agree
ments intended to be misread and misconstrued and violated on
the first opportunity. She has her own plans and she intends
carrying them out without asking anyone’s leave. She has no time
for tongue-in-the-cheek diplomacy. Perhaps Japan with all her
savagery is teaching something. Others besides governments will
do well to take notice.
********
DOWNRIGHT TIRED OF IT
Ontario has watched wearily fox’ the conclusion of the election
campaign. A great many were anxious to- become informed on the issues of the day but were greeted with" a flow of verbal abuse
simply nauseating. Plain people who toil and spin were anxious
to hear business men talk to them intelligently oxx business matters
but were greeted with'verbal pugilism degrading to anyone who lis
tened thereto. For once Radio and all who had control thereof
have proved recreant to a mighty txiust. Fortunately, the verbal
sluggers overshot the maik. Few heeded them. If a firstclass
heckler ox’ two had been beside every microphone we’d at least
have had a little fun of a poor sort. Any feeble minded talkex’ can
carry on when there is no one to educate him in good manners and
fair dealing. It is a question if such- electioix ballyhoo affect the
public as much as tihe tirades of a cheap’ midway performance at a
cheap show affects the business life of the commonwealth.
********
WHAT TO DO !
As we read with shuddering horror of the ways of Japan with
the Chinese, of the wilful butdlxer'y of women and children and of
the murder of thousands of non-combatants, we wondex* why Bri
tain does not take action. As we say this we should check up on
ourselves by asking what practical support Canada is prepared to
afford Britain should she turn her guns on Japan? What would we
be doing as Japenese guns threw shells ihto Vancouver. Further,
should we refuse to trade with japan and refuse hex’ sons entrance
to o-ur borders and should Japan communicate with Ottawa asking
the .reason for such action on oui’ part, what would we have to
say in reply? Any school boy can give the answer. Meanwhile,
tens of thousands of Chinese are being slaughtered and Canada
stands by like the poor craven bride of whom Scott sings, dangl
ing her bonnet and plume, Britain, well knowing that should she
again undertake the battle fox* fair play in China that Canada would
afford her no effective support. Yet Canadians are critical of the
attitude of Great Britain! Was ever position more humiliating to
the beaver or to> any self-respecting nation?

WE MAY AS WELL FACE IT
A friend visited the home of his childhood that he had not
seen for 35 years. He was good enough to tell us of one thing that
struck him. As was his custom, he attended church on Sunday
morning. Naturally he went to the old home church. Thirty-five
years ago this large church was so well attended that one needed
to be on hand early to secure a seat. The choir in the old days
Was up-to-date and the congregation hearty. But the change in
three decades. Worshippers were like the Hielan’s man’s turnips
one here and none there. Everything was bagging at the knees
and down at the heels. And that in a centre where everything else
seems prostperous, if one is to- judge by the numbers shopping In the
Stores and the general appearance of the snug little town,
This same Sort of thing is going on in nearly every centre.
People are voting for the closing of Canadian churches fay hoh-at-
tendance and by asking the church to cater to every whim and
fancy of the passing show. We may aS well face the music. Facts
remain. Why should we seek to deceive ourselves?

There is an unwritten law in the theatrical profession. Regardless of what
happens—“the shoiv must go on!” In thousands of theatres throughout
Ontario this same traditional rule still applies, but in a different way.
Today, “the show must go on”—with Hydro.
The “Talkies” and Hydro, bring to the cities and the small towns alike, the
best the theatre offers in drama, music, comedy, while travelogues and
news-reels bring a new form of education.
Hydro also makes it possible to enjoy your theatre night right through the
hottest season, with the aid of air conditioning and cooling systems, which
the majority of theatres now provide.
This same Hydro service that is essential for the “Talkies” is also necessary
for night baseball, tennis, lawn bowling and other forms of night entertain
ment and sport, which electricity now makes it possible to enjoy to a much
greater degree.
Thus in the realm of entertainment and sport—as in so many other phases
of activity—Hydro—your Hydro—makes an essential contribution to a
better, happier, healthier livelihood for the people of the Province of Ontario
with its low-cost power.
The success of Hydro in being able to lower power costs in the past two years
in the face of a general increase in the price of practically everything we use,
is a noteworthy achievement. Its continuous efforts to lower these power
costs still further, and extend the benefits which accrue throughout the
Province of Ontario, is a matter in which you should be vitally interested.
