Aprodtgt of The Canada Starch Co., Limited World Wide News In Brief Form New Educational System Being Planned London, Ont: A new departure in education, whereby a 16 -year-old .child leaving school would have a complete education, is under consid- eration for Ontario, Dr: C.

Winston Churchill warned Bri- tain that Germany, rearming :"secret- ly, •illegally and rapidly," will have "overtaken us before another year has passed" in "organized military ma- chines al.orie.". "A reign of terror ex- ists in Germany in order to keep secret the feverish and terrible pre- parations they are raking," the for- mer Chancellor of the Exchequer told his constituency.

Mitchell Hepburn termed laws, barring women from working when their husbands are employed, as impractical in actual practice. "How could you do it?" he asked, "We all know of case in which the woman's husband has left her and she is forced to support herself and fam- ily, or where the husband's earnings are not enough to support the family without aid from the wife. We would have to be making exceptions all the time."

That is 84,000,00 bushels more than the average of the last five years. Back in 1929 Canada exported 344,- 000,000 bushels of wheat, but since the wheat pools organized to main- tain prices, export business has not been so good.

Name Address B a 3 u R CANADA ADVERTISES IN UNITED STATES With a view of encouraging travel to this country from the United States, the Minister of the Interior supplied, during the 1934 travel sea- son, 130 offices of automobile clubs in the leading United States cities with attractively mounted photogra- phic views of representative Canad- ian scenes for window displays. :Each set was accompanied by a printed in- vitation to members and non-mem- bers to "apply within" for maps showing main connecting highways between the two countries and book- lets issued by the Department of the Interior on How to Enter Canada, Vacationing in Canada, Canoe Trips, Sport Fishing, and Hunting. In every case the window displays aroused great interest and undoubt- edly resulted in considerable numbers being induced to visit Canada during the vacation season. One automobile club in Pennsylvania wrote as follows —"The material was looked over with a lot of interest by sportsmen and others in this vinicity. My personal observation of travel to Canada dur- ing the year 1934, proves that the tourist is still interested in your country. We thought that the repeal o fthe 18th Amendment would lessen travel to your country but evidently this was not so." Another in the District of Columbia made the follow- ing comments,— 'Have had the set in our window practically every day during the summer and it seemed as if every one of our members wes making a trip to Canada." A thirds ire Illinois, stated,—"The display at,-. tracted a lot of attention anso,ng, members and others who stopped to, make enquiry. We routed a number through Canada." A fourth, in Ohio,, made the following remarks,—"The pictures went over big, and I had' scores of people in my office telling me how they enjoyed them and that. they had stimulated an interest in,, urge to travel to Canada." In view of the success of the (un- dertaking it is proposed to expand. the work by extending co -operations to such other automobile clubs andl travel bureaus as have window* dis- play facilities. The beneficial effect from a tourist business point of view is quite obvious.
