SOME ORDINARY LETTERS
AIRMAILED
An innovation in Canada's rapidly
expanding air mail service, in the car-
riage of ordinary one-ounce letters by
air to all major centres in the Domin-
ion, was announced in the Commons
recently by Postmaster-General Bert-
rand. This service, which begins on
July 1, and is known as "all-up" ser-
vice, means that letters up to one
.ounce bearing the ordinary four-cent
stamp for surface delivery will go by
air mail. Letters weighing more than
an ounce still must carry the big blue .
seven-cent air mail, stamp if air set.,
vice is wanted.
The first flights will be on Trans-
Canada Air Lines main network, which
runs through all major cities from
coast to coast. In opening Phase, of
the service, senders can he assured
that ordinary letters going front me.
major city to another, like from Tor-
onto to Winnipeg, will get there by
air, but letters addressed to a place
such as ?lin lion, Man., which is on
a feeder line, will'have to carry fullsair
mail postage,
The postmaster-general said the de-
partment hopes to extend the: service
to feeder lines, but, for the start at
least, the service will be on an "exper-
imental" basis until it is proved to he
financially sound, The ordinary postal
rates for out-of-town mail is four cents
ror the first ounce and two cents for
each additional ounce or fraction. Air
mail rate is .seven cents for the first

PLAY BALL
Once more the familiar "Play Bell!"
uttered in a stentorian voice by the
umpire, finds crowds in our ball parks
keyed up to a fever pitch, There is no
summer sport quite so exciting as a
good close ball game. Both players
and fans completely forget the cares
and troubles of the world as they be-
come engrossed in each exciting play.
The players put every ounce of their
skill and energy in muscular reaction,
vociferous vocal outbursts and spent
nerve force inEto the fray.
And the vocal support of the crowd
is not all wasted or useless energy
either, for, undoubtedly, the players,
respond to the cheers of their backers
by superlative efforts to win the game,
In fact the crowd is as much an es-
sential part of the game.as the players,
and an aggressive, impartial umpire
adds a colorful touch. The only way
to have a winning team is to back the
players in every way. If you have play-
ing talent, get out to practice and make
your services available as a player if
required. If you have no playing abil-
ity, then faithfully support your team
as a spectator at every game. It's your,
player who never makes an error isn't
much of an asset to the team because
he isn't going all out to win, As
rule, the player who never makes an
error is one who .never takes a chance
but plays well within limits. In other
words, he doesn't take the chance of
committing an error because he doesn't
cover too much ground,
Most managers wouldn't have a
e
e t
ahleoy t\kintoownever ilungotei apilia,sererrrc;ornbeticiae viirs
errors happen on plays that would nev-
er be attempted by the safe player,
It is the player who is trying the
hardest, and covering the most ground,
as a rule, who makes the odd error„
So, when an error is made on a fairly
difficult play, give the player credit
for attempting the play instead of cen-
suring him for the boot. Also, if your
team has a slump, remember that no
team can win every game. Support
your team and the players, win or lose,
and, that way, you'll get the most out
of fthe game.
"Play Ball!" Go to the ball game!
Hear the crack of the bat meeting the
ball! See the runner try to stretch
that single ,into a double or a triple.
Yell yourself hoarse as your favourite
batter hits a home run, Thrill with
suspense as your team makes difficult
plays t retire the opposing batters or
runners. Tell the umpire, in a low,
polite voice, what you think of his de-
cisions! Swing and sway with the
crowd, and yell yourself hoarse root-
ing for the home team—and try also
to appreciate and applaud the clever
.plays by the visitors. You are part of
the home team so be in your place in
the park fcir the next ball game.

HISTORY OF PALESTINE
ONE OF BLOODSHED
Palestine is a narrow strip of land,
half the size of th-e .province of Nova
Scotia, situated in Asia Minor, with
the Mediterranian Sea on one side and
a great desert on the other. It has al-
ways been the land-bridge between
Egypt on the south and the great,
kingdoms, like Babylon, which sprang
up and died north and northeast of it.
For many thousands of years, men
have moved in, settled down, and then
been crushed or ousted by others corn-
ing behind them. It always has been
bloody ground and its history one of
bloodshed and captivity.
Some 4,000 years ago, about 2,045
B.C., the Scriptures state that God
sent Abraham into the country, which
was then known as Canaan, and the
Lord matte a covenant with Abraham
giving him and his seed the Holy
Land forever. Later on some of the
great grandchildren of these Israelites
migrated to Egypt where they pros-
pered and greatly multiplied in awn-
bets. Then about 1575 B.C. the Ex-
odus ended and the Jews returned,
recunquered and again took possession
of Palestine front another Semitic
tribe, the Canaanites, who were in the
land. After a period of about 450 years
under Judges, the first Jewisli King-
dom was set up in the Holy Land,
around 1,100 B,C, under Saul, the first
Jewish King, Over a thousand years
later in 63 B.c. the Romans conquered
Palestine anti wiped out the Jewish
nation.
Then the Jews, once desert-wander=
ers, became world wanderers, pertie-
cuted discriminated againist, homeless,
but ever remembering their homeland
that chid had given them by His et ve-
rant with Abraham. In 1897 the'jews
formed the Zionist organization to get
hack their homeland. Zion means Jeru-
, salon. The Zionists have campaigned,
ever since, There have always been
Jett: in Palestine, .but not much hn-
iiettts was given to the Zionist move-
ment until the British captured the
country from the Turks iii. 1917. When
the British took over the Palestine
mandate in 1923 the Jewish popula-
tion was only about 64,000 or 11 per
rent, and now the new Jewish State
of Israel has over 600,000 citizens,
which is over one-third of the total
populationan of the whole of the Holy L
The Arabs, also a Setnetie race and
originally desert-dwellers, have always
lived in Palestine and neighboring
countries. Successive invasions have
swept across the Holy Land since Bib-
heal days and since 637 A.D. it has
been in Noslern hands. The Arabs far
outnuinber the Jews in population in
Palestine today, and they have been
in possession for over 1,300 years.
The Arab League, comprised of the
seven Arab States of Saudi Arabia,
Egypt, Iraq, 'Traits-Jordan, Syria,
Lebanon and Yemen, with a total
population of 84;000,000, is determined
to keep Palestine an Arab country,
and their armies ate now trying to
conquer the new Jewish .State Of Is-.
tael, The United States and Russia
already have recognized the new Jew-
iSli state, but unless ., the UN does
something soon it faces terrible days.
