EXTENSION LECTURE
,Sissons of "Toronto University,.
in his lecture in the Collegiate audit-
orium on Friday evening, had naught
but ,geed to say of the "new Cana
.dints" in .Canada when he chose for
his .subject: "Pecelbp' Peoples in
Western Canada." He explained at
.the outset ,that xie .did not wish his;
heaaters to imply that he was using
.the term ".peculiar" .in .the sense that
.these ,peoples were What we some-
times term "queer", nor ;yet was he
using it in the biblical sense, in :that
they 'Wena •chosen of, God, but rather
in' the simple sense that .they were
different) from ourselves. Different
nationally and had different customs'
and habits. Dr. Sissons was intro
diced by Mr. Brydone, chairman of
the Collegiate board, who said he had;
known 'him for many years.
Dr. Sissons 'fad inany views sinew.
ing the different stages of develops-
ment of living amongst the several
nationalities which make up so large)
a part of the population 'of: the eves -
'tern provinces. '
Ile told .of the Mennonites, of whom
.he spoke in the highest terms, and
regretted :the elecumstances ' which'
resulted in so many of them leaving
Manitoba for .Mexico ,and South Am-
erica in 1925. He praised their .citiz-
enship And felt that Canada would
have no ,better in :the years to come.
He told of the first .settlers among
the ,Icelanders; who left Petry Sound
' District, where they had ,been given,
.holdings with what he considered
"doubtful generosity" by the Cana
.dian ,Government, and finding for
' themselves homes in the west, where
they. have peeved ' themselues to be
citiaehs of the highest order. He alto
told ,of the Doukhaibors, in whom he
is partieularly interested, their en
genaering shill, their industry, which
has made of their holdings hi British
Columbia a- yeritable. garden, mud of
thewantons, .who are peculiar from.
es only in their religious beliefs, :as
they are the same race and, of\course,
speak the nglish janguage as their
mother tongue-.
Dr. `Sisso s'address was interest-
ing
n eres -ing and . thought-provoking. He.
questioned theeapiiiidn,•held by, some,
thatthisecountry, would 'be better if
built up - entirely of-- the' English-
speaking race: •Ile thought that an
admixture, ofother races would add
to our country factors' essential to
its, growth_' and strength. He praised
the Scandinavians and -thought we
could have no better, citizens than de-
cendents,of these races; he expressed
the opinion that quality of citizenship
w is of :much', greater . 'importance
than quantity and urged:ihat•,patiencc
and' sympathy was • necessary in deal-
ing with these new corners: to our
shores. IIe expressed pleasure that
You seldom' nowadays hear the term
"foreigner in connection with these
newcomers The new and he -;con
siderecl the very much-to-be-perferred
term" was, "New ,Canadian." : Ile
thought if the people and the Gov-
- ernment
ov--eidment would exercise patience,
these- people conning to Canada would
prove 46 be a'very valuable asset to,
our land
A very hearty vote of thanks was
tendered Dr. Sissons after the lec-
ture.
On Pi idaY of next west- Ma ch 23
the last of the series of extension lec-
tures will be given, when Dr. Waller
will speak on Archaeological Discov-
eries Relating to Biblical History."

CLOSE -GALL FROM FIRE
The Exeter Times -Advocate had-
the following to say last week of
.former citizens of Clinton:
"On Thursday morning of Last week
as Mire, Elmdre Harness was prepar-
ing one of the children forschool
fire broke out in the kitchen of the
home and but for the prompt re•
sponse of the fire department would
have destroyed the Home. Maxwell
was about ready for school and was
in the act of going into the kitchen
for his rubbers and ashe opened
the kitchen door fire and smoke shot
into the room. He quickly closed
the door and the alarm was sounded
and the firemen were soon on the
scene. With the aid of chemical
extinguishers the fire was brought
undercontrol, but not before the.
kitchen had been badly damaged. By.
the closing of the door to the kit-
chen the air had been shut out and
the smoke partly smothered the
flames otherwise the damage e vn
ld
have been much- worse. There wap
a fire in the kitchen stove at the time
and it 0 thought that _OOmetlnne
must have come in contact with tlir,
stove.'t
