If you want to live in the kind of a town, Like the kind of atown you like, You nedn't slip your cloths in a grip And start on a. long, long hike. You'll only find whatyou left behind There's nothing that's really new. It's a knock at youself when you knock your town, It isn't your town—it's your Real towns tyre not made by men afraid Lest somebody gets ahead. When everybody works and nobody skirks, Tort can raise a -town from the dead. And if while you snake your personal stake • Your neighbor can make one, too, Your town will be what you want to see. It isn't your town --it's you! 1Selected, Business is business all right, but the gains that come through business tempered with kindness and cour- tesy, although they may be a little less, nevertheless are more satisfy- ing. Women are being urged to pur- chase British goods, in preference to those of foreign manufacture, to stimulate industry. Jean Graham of Toronto, 'who, by the way, once lived in Clinton, her father having been pastor of the old Rattenbury street Methodist church, recently wrote a very readable article on using Bri- tish goods, Among other things she said: "Many years ago, a certain wise British statesman advised us to `think imperially.' • Ever since the late Jos -1 eph Chamberlain gave us that ad- vice, we British subjects have been widening our political outlook, until MGontreal now understands the dif- ference between Australia and New Zealand, while Toronto actually is interested in the aspirations of Gand- hi. The advance in transportation and sound transmission may account partly for the increase in imperial acquaintanceship. But there is a firmer and greater bond to day be- tween the nations which form the British Empire. The offering made in those dark years, 1014-1918, when the manhood of ail British eountries made the supreme sacrifice in the i cause of freedom and righteousness, has created a unity unknown before. However, in recent years, the loy- alty to country and empire, has been t expressed in material form. as Bri- tish subjects have realized that`their th patriotic spirit should take a nractieal expression. It is all very well to sing a 'Rule Britannia' and 'God Save the f King,' but we must let our patriot- ism tench our pocket -books, if it is' to be the real thing. The women of , the country are the purchasers of household supplies, and often of the a clothing for every member of the household. Then, let the housewife see to it that she gives. preference e to goods made in Canada and in other countries of the Empire. Can- J ado is referred to proudly as the 'granary of the Empire'—anti our flour supplies are inferior to none. There is no excuse for the Canadian woman not to be a geed cook, when. the Golden west sends us such won - pine; , where Jesuit missionaries preached several centuries ago, Now, we do not need to be urged to buy our flour—nor our fruit --;but our manufactures are" another story. lllany of us, who talk with enthus- iasm of our British traditions, and who wave the Union Jack on all na- tional holidays„ will avoid the.pur- chase of Canadian shoes or perfume or toys. Suppose that the Germans still' produce the prettiest and Most ingenious toys in the world, -Is that any reason why we should give them our perfectly good Canadian dollars, in exchange . for a doll or a horn? Let us develop and encourage toy in- dustries of our own. Then , a. Canadian woman may come along and ask: 'What about our own manufactures? Why don't they produce better goods ' Now, it just happens that she was complaining of Canadian shoes, Fortunately, we were able to tell her where she could buy good Canadian shoes, and she has been grateful ever since. In hosiery and gloves, Canada produces excellent goods, and everyone knows that the modern woman must pe fas- tidious in the choice of each. Then, in the natter of underwear or lin- gerie, we find that Canadian manu- factures are quite equal to the de- mands of to -day. This is saying a great deal, for we believe that never were women more exacting than in these days, when dainty "undies" (as our English friends call them) are to be considered. Then' in the finer toilet products the Canadian manufacturer has made great strides, until the soap, toilet water, perfume and face powder can be compared with Parisian products. 'In spite of the fact-;ef which we should be proud—that the Canadian manufac- turer pays higher wages 'than the Frenchman or German, he has been able to produce toys and jewellery which vie with anything froin Berlin or even Geneva. While we are not opposed to world trade, we wish to place Canada and other British na- tions first even if it costs fifty cents or a dollar to encourage our own folk. There is an imperialism which we all dislike—a form of snobbery which prostrates itself be- fore a decoration or a title. But the true imperialism is both practical and ideal when it says:—Buy from Britons first" - One thing we could do this winter s eat more apples instead of oranges, grapefruit or imported grapes.

Railway except as. it adversely affects the fortunes of nine -tenths of New Ontairo. The. railway grew out of the, fear that Montreal' would get the trade. of the T. & N. 0, fringe. M'ansieur Tas chereau thoroughly understands this, and so when Ontario wanted to build a T. & N. 0. spur into Rouyn in Que- bec, he said no. He prefei$•ed to keep the trade of the camp in Quebec. No body expected 'him to do anything else. It was a wise move for Ontario fol the government of Premier Ross to decide on the T. & N. 0. The good farming land would eventually be settled and there would be good busi- nese there. .And. when the railway stumbled by accident on silver and afterwards gold, that made. Mr. Rosa a far seeing statesman. Well, Ontario grew increasingly, strong for the T. & N. 0. with not a doubtful soul. The other 800 miles of New Ontario looked" on it as a sign that the rest -of us .would get ours. But as the years' went by, it was discovered that Old Ontario thought the T. & N. 0.' strip,—for the great- er part of its length the railway runs •within 30 miles of the Quebec bor- der; was the 'whole of New. Ontario, instead of one-tenth as it actually is. The capital Iiability (Canada 'Year Book, 1930, page 622) of the railway is 837,332,935, or was for the year 1928. Since that time much water has rolled under railways bridges and miles more 'track has been Iaid. When a Toronto newspaper adver- tises an excursion of a Board of Trade ;to 'The North,' it Means the T. & N. 0. fringe and everybody so interprets it. True the railways is of importance to Old Ontario and now that we have it nobody in New On- tario would think of withohlding its just needs. But while wishing it well. there is a widely held opinion in New Ontario that the railway is absorbing thought and money that should be bettor expended across the 800 miles of New. Ontario. When Al- goma first asked for an iron bounty many years ago for all the. districts, it was diligently pointed out by the government that it was spending a lot of money developing the north. The next paragraph revealed that what the government was talking a- bont was the, T. & N. 0. strip. When the pulp concession was giv- en for the Kapuskasing mills, a clause was inserted compelling the shipment of the paper down the T. & N. 0., although the most natural outlet was by the Algoma Central railway, designed to develop Algoma. Favors go by preference, and the T. & N. 0. gets chore than it should. Another instance where the Cen- tralizing of Government activity in the region of the T. & N. 0. Rail- way probably works to the disadvan- tage of other sections of northern Ontario is to be found in the fact that the development of the lignite deposits of clay belt has so far been confined to the cretaceous basin in• the Blacksmith Rapids region, de- spite the fact that the similar basin on the Missinable River, only a few Whiles from the northern end of the Algoma Central, covers a much larg- er area and probably contains a much larger lignite deposit. It is not a question of Algoma alone. All the districts outside of the T. & N, 0. fringe have known that they were wallflowers. And Ontario is beginning to awaken to the fact that it is in the iron ranges of Al- goma, Sudbury—and Thunder Bay �a rent° paper asking that the Trans- PITY THE POOR POSTMASTER Canada Highway be built 1 .side aon the T. & N.

ASSOCIATE SECRETARY MATERNAL MORTALITY The death of a mother is the greatest trxt;ecly that can occur, The loss of the mother brings in its train so many •social ills, that it is beyond our ability to put its far-reaching results into words. Unfortunately, such tragedies are not uncommon. In this country, six mothers losetheir lives for every thousand children born alive, The appalling thing about these deaths is that many of them need not occur, as it is possible to prevent them. To the woman herself and to her family, it may appear as if she had been struck down by a bolt from the blue. What has actually happened is that a condition develops, but goes unnoticed until serious symptoms Manifest themselves. When the expectant mother is un- der tll,e regular supervision of 'her doctdr, he can detect any abnormal condition from the start, and he can, by proper treatment, prevent the, de- velopment of any serious condiion. This 15' One reason -land it should be a sufficient one --.why every ex- pectant Mother should have prenatal cave. By . prenatal care, ' we mean that, throughout her pregnancy, from the earliest months, she should be seen by her doctor at regular in- tervals, once a month, at first, and twice a month during ,the latter .part of her. ,pregnancy. Prenatal' care is preventive care. It allows, as we have pointed' out for the" early discovery and proper treatment of abnormal conditions. It also makes for a more comfort- able pregnancy if the woman follows the advice which the doctor gives her. Women are often told that the p pcess of childbirth is a normal .unction, and that they should not consider themselves as being any- thing but normal during that period. This is all true,'but it does not fol- low that, in the performance of a normal body function, medical help and guidance are not needed. Eating is a normal process -which we carry through several tines , a day, andyet we know that mdst People need to be helped by follow- ing some intelligent direction as to the selection of, then foods, Diges- tion is a normal function of the body which .usually goes on without our beiug aware that it is' taking place, yet, once in a while, the digestive prows gets out of order, and then we need medical help. • 'We would say to expectant moth- ers that it is quite right for then to consider their condition as. being normal, but that they 'should not forget that what they want to do 'is to keen normal. The best way to Maintain the normal condition and to prevent any serious abnormality is' through the prenatal care whiclm the family doctor gives, Quotations eoiicerning health, ad- dressed to. the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toren- to, will be answered personally by letter, • SILVER LINING Al Falfa--"That drought Cost us over 5,000 bushels of wheat." ,Mrs. Al r. --"yes but there is no evil without some good and you know that during that dry spell we could at least get some salt out of the shakers."

' NOVA SCOTIA COAL HAS KEEN COMPETITION TO MEET ON ' ROME MARKET /Halifax, Nov. 20th -,The output of coal in Nova Scotia. rose from 5,652,- 314 long tons in 1926 to 6,339,492 in 1929, Up to September 30 of this year the production reached 5,600,- 000 long tons. Much the greater part of Nova Scotia's coal output comes from the Sydney coal field in Cape Breton Island, which • is not' only the largest in the .Province but the most highly developed and productive in the Dominion. No, 113: shaft of the Dominion Coal Company completed last year for the winning of coal from submarine areas is one of the best examples on the "North Ameri- can 'Continent of the application of modern devices and methods of per- manent construtcion: It is estimated that the life of this shaft will be at least 125 years and possibly 200 ears and , a d t hat before it is abandon- ed 140,000,000 tons of coal will have been hoisted through it. Though the Sydney coal field is the most important in the Province there' are al- so important productive fields on the mainland in Cumberland and Pictou Counties. The problem of the Nova Scotia coal industry resembles the steel in- dustry with regard to sales. Our best market, that of the St. Law- rence ports, is intensely competitive and a large volume of the sales made there are on narrow 'margins owing to the fact that prices are forced down to the barest advance:- above costs by the millions of tons pf Am- erican coal, which are marketed from the excess production of the United States mines. Either an increase in the coal tariff or a winter rail hate low enough for the trade to absorb should be given to the collieries of Nova Scotia.
