A 'TILAGEDY
Last week one of the big bread-
making companies sent one of its de-
livery wagons into a little town serv-
ed by a local but efficient bakery.
Of course the new bread was tried on
the dot, with the result that the lo-
cal baker came short on sales. Up
to date be has made only a bare liv-
ing. Should his old :time customers
leave him altogether, he mustgive up
his business, scrap his, equipment or
sell at what would be a ruinous
price. Should he be driven to this exp
tremity the town will lose •a first
class citizen, the church an active
supporter and the community an in-
spiring member. What is happening
to the baker is happening to the but-
cher and candlestick maker of that
same town! And still the citizens of
that burgh will not practice a heal-
thy ,localism. Some people fail to
see an inch beyond their noses.
-Exeter Times -Advocates;
Telling The Truckmen
Many a time have most of us been
crowded to the-ed5e of the ditch by
big trucks that hogged the, centre of
the road. Perhaps you havedriven for
many miles behind a slow truck which
was road -hogging a country road, not
realizing that you were behind and
perhaps not caring. Ile acted as if he
owned the highway and the small car
only something to be tolerated. Was
he right? _ He was not. yolks, we
have a, champion now in the person
of Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Minister of
Highways. By virtue of his position,
the hon, gentleman is boss of our
provincial roadways and here is what
he told the truck -men right in their
own convention the other day: -"The
highways belong to the small car
owner, the humble citizen who made
possible this gloat highway system
of ours. The use of these highways

ary consideration." The Minister's
ruling should result in better nian
ners on the part' of some truck -dri-

No Time Like The ,Old Time
There is no time like the old time
When you and I were young
When the buds of April blossomed
And birds of springtime sung.
The garden's brightest glories'.
By the summer sun an nursed
But oh! the sweet, sweet violets,
The flowers that open'firs:t,
There is no place like the old place
Where you and I were born
1Where we lifted up our .eyelids
On the splendour of the morn.
From the ,milk -white 'breast that
warmed us,
From the clinging arms that bore
Where the dear eyes glistened o'er
= us
That will look on us no; more.
There is no friend Like the old friend
Who has shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome
No homage like his praise.

With gaudy crowns of gold
But friendship is the;, breathing rpse
With sweets in every fold.

`CANADA BROADCASTS CHRIST MAS" IS SPECIAL HOUR-LONG
PROGRAM TO BE PRESENTED DECEMBER 25 BY CBC -CITIES
LINKED IN PICTURIZATION OF YULETIDE ACTIVITIES AND
IN SYNCHRONIZATION OF SONG AND STORY.
The joyous ringing of bells on Par-
Iiament Hill, the tramping of feet as 1
Canadians perform an imaginary;
march across the Dominion, .the roar
of Niagara Falls, informal interviews'
in the homes of private citizens, a
coast to coast community sing -song
and fairy tale, and the laughter and
gaiety of children on snow -bound hill- j
sides will be highlights of "Canada
Broadcasts Chi'istnias", a special pro-
gram to be presented over the nation -1.
al network of the Canadian Broad
casting Corporation from 4.00 to 5.001
p.m. EST, December 25. 1
..More than 300 private citizens will
participate in the hour-long broad-
cast -that will link ten different cities
in picturization of Christmas Day ac-
tivities and in synchronized song and
story.' .The program will be directed
from the Ottawa studios and the Cor-
poration's master controls at Mont-
real'will act as the mixing point for
the national network. ,....
National Community Singing
The broadcast will open with the
playing of, the carillon in the Peace
Tower on Parliament, Hill. Groups
of citizens at Halifax, Montreal, Tor-
onto, Winnipeg and Vancouver, then
will be heard in 'synchronized com-
munity singing of "Marching along
Together", special l y r i c s which
have been written for the 9ccasion..It
will be during this portion of the
broadcast that the effect of Cana-
dians marching across the Dominion
will be attained and an innovation at-
tempted when the choirs in these cit -1
les join in the telling of a fairy tale.
Switching to Niagara Falls, the
mighty roar 'of which will be clearly
audible in the background, an an-
nounce` 'will describe its thundering
strength and the service it renders
the country. The speaker will be
stationed with a microphone in a re-
cess behind the Falls, where the thir-
ty-foot curtain of water thunders
past to the river below. From whence
will be heard the giant turbines hum-
ming as they generate electrical en-
ergy,
National community singing, in
which listeners will *be invited to join,
will follow. This portion of the pro•,
gram, it is anticipated will be parti-
elderly entertaining, since the song
will be "Three Blind Mice" and its
rendition as a "round" by the choirs
will be most difficult to perform.
From Southern Saskatchewan
At this juncture a farmer and his
family in the drought area of south-
ern Saskatchewan will be interviewed
by a Corporation announcer who will
describe conditions as he sees them.
The farmer will be invited to extend
greetings from a' section of the coun-
try less fortunate than others, but
which the nation will have not for-
gotten in its Christmas joyousness.
Montreal will play an active part
in the broadcast when' the Corpora-
tion witches to its master control
rooin where announcers and engineers
will be sitting' before dials, switches,
and myriad dancing needles control-
ling the program. Listeners will be
afforded an understanding of the
skill necessary for the technical sup-
ervision of a radio broadcast,as well
as the orderly excitement and ten-
sion that usually prevails at such a
time. •
From the master control room in
the Montreal studios the broadcast will
switch to an "enquiring reporter"
who will pay .informal visits to pri• 1
vete homes in the city's residential
section, there to describe for the na-I
tional audience how the clay is being
celebrated in Canada's metropolis.
The interviews will be' bilingual.
A game of "musical chairs" will be
played between children in the Ot-
tawa and Windsor studois as a laugh
provoking feature of the program.
•
Interview Captain. On A Cable Boat
Riding at anchor at the harbour of
Halifax will be the cable boat "Lord
Kelvin," and it will be from the decks
of this boat that listeners will hear
her captain chatting informally with
a Corporation announcer, The "Lord
Kelvin" will dock at Halifax a few
days before Christmas following
many months at sea. It is hoped that
the captain will outline the duties of
the boat in laying and taking care of
the cables that link the different
countries of the world in telegraphic
and telephonic communication.
The singing of an old French carol
will be shared by a French children's
choir at Winnipeg. The carol will be
"Les Anges de nos Campagnes,"
Visit To Orphanage
From Edmonton, Alberta, then will
come descriptions of children sleigh-
ing, toboganning, and skiing down a
hillside,
At the conclusion of the broadcast,
the audiences present in the Corpora-
tion studios throughout Canada will

This woman started out in life with
a good equipment,, yet for years and
she wa,, a failure, Then self-
analysis showed her that her failures
were explainable.
She says that, she had the will to
fail. Several chapters in herbook
deal with this theme -the will to fail.
She says that most of us have the
will- to fail. Clearly, if we have the
will to fail, we shall fail and be fail-

any enterprise, we must have the
will to succeed.
There was an artist, aged 50. He
lived in Spain, though he was Ameri-
can born. At age GO he had not
made a name for himself. In his
home, with his wife, he sat moping
and drinking. He wanted to get
drunk in order that he might forget.)
for a time his failure. His be-
lieved
wife
in him, and her faith inspired
him to try afresh. Under a new im-
pulse, with a new courage, this art-
ist set out to paint new .pictures.
"They who seek find" were words us-
ed by his wife. He repeated these
words to himself. They whipped him.
onward. His pictures were master-
pieces, and when sent to New York
made a sensation. Orders for pic-
tures poured in on him. At age 50
he was reborn. He had lost his will
to fail, replacing it with a will to
succeed.
Robert Bruce had the will to fail.
He was discouraged - thoroughly.
Then he watched the spider, which
had no will to fail. The spider went
on and on, even after many apparent
defeats, and in the end won its small
battle. The sight of that spider's
persistency and faith inspired Robert
Bruce, and he became a new man and
Scotland's saviour.
Robert Clive, conqueror of India
for Britain, had the will to. fail.
Twice or thrice he tried to kill him-
self, but each time his pistol missed
fire. Then Clive concluded that he
was not destined to be a failure, and
acquired a new resolution and a new
goal, and attained to both fame and
fortune.
Read 'the stories of great inven-
tors, great travellers, great iucluy,-
trialists, great teachers and preach-
ers and statesmen, and you will sure-
ly find that there were in their ca-
reers times when they had the will
to fail. They were ready to abandon
their quest, whatever that quest
was. But something or some person
put back into these despairing ones
new strength, new vision, new pur-
pose, and lot they went Forward to a
great success.
Quite recently a young man called
on me. He was trying to sell first
aid outfits and supplies to industrial
firms and to others in business. He
said that he was not doing very well.
Ile had failed to find wage -paid work
when he left school, and had -quite
admirably -started up on his own ac-
count. In our conversation he told
me that lie knew of a chemical which
will keep windows from frosting up
-and windshields of motor cars. I
asked him why he did not try to sell
this chemical, seeing that almost ev-
ery private home and every retail
store and every motor -car owner was
a prospect. And what do you think
that this young man said to ane? It
was that he feared that if he went
out selling this chemical, • others
would take up the business that he
would' then have competition! You
are, I hope, astonished -and disgust-
ed -by such an attitude. Suppose
that Henry Ford had said, "I'm not
going to make motor cars, because if
I do, others will set up in the same
ldnd of business, and I'll have com-
petition". If Henry Ford had re-
mained the, only motor -car manufac-
turer, he would not be as rich as he
is today. Having a monopoly can
be an industrial catastrphe. Many
Years ago the Pope Bicycle Company
merged all competitors with its own
company, in order to get rid of com-
petition. It felt that with no com-
petition, it would grow to great size
and make a colossal fortune. Before.
many years went by this monopolis.
tic company became bankrupt. It
missed an important point, namely: -it
is competition which is the Iife of
trade. Also, it failed to see that a
market for a new kind of product re-
quires, if it is to be built up to great
size, the combined efforts of many
competitive firms, The huge market
which exists today for refrigerators,
radio sets, motor ears, and many oth-
er things is a result of the merchan-
dising and advertising activities of
many competitive enterprisers.
You may have thought of that Bib-
lical character who was given one
talent to use for its increase. He
had the will to fail. Read about him.
Read about his fears, which enervat-
ed him, which led him to be supine.
They who seek find. If any young
man wants to make progress in this
world, let him become a purposeful
seeker for what he wants. He will
surely find it. His quest, before it
is rewarded in full, may take years.
It may consume his means. It may
mar his health. But if the goal. be
worthy, then it can surely be won.
The purposeful and patient and in-
vincible seeker will enjoy life far
more than the• drifter enjoys his life.
Every day becomes a contributor to
his happiness, even though many
days may seem to be profitlessly em-
ployed. The purposeful and patient
seeker is fortified With the knowledge
that ultimately he will find what he
is going after. The drifter - the
butterfly man -may delude himself
and others -for a time -into believ-
ing that he is having a good time,:
that he is enviable; but there comes

HOW often have you opened your
snapshot album to view, once
more, treasured pictures you have
taken of groups of friends or of the
family, and closedit with a feeling
of regret that you did not appear in
these pictures yourself? Or, how
often, when you are showing some-
body snapshots you took on a mem-
orable occasion, do you bear the re-
mark, "Where were you all this
time?" Modestly you reply, "Why, I
was just the man behind the camera.
Somebody had to take the pictures"
But really wouldn't you like to have
been in those pictures? Of course,
you would..
Obbiously, one solution of this dif-
ficulty is to let some one else use
your camera on these occasions and
take some pictures with you in them,.
flood enough except that that some-
body else -Dad or whoever it may
be -is missing front them just as you
were missing from the others.
There is another answer to this
problem and a perfect one. Get a self -
timer, which is the name for an at-
tachment which permits most cam-
eras other than the box type to take
pictures unattended. It is an inex-
pensive accessory that fits on the
metal button at the end of the cable
release which operates the shutter.
