IN LIGHTER VEIN: "A Time and Place for Everything" Saving ,O.ntario's . 'Natural :. Resources by G. C. TONER Ontario Federation of Anglers (No, 27) VANISHED SPECIES A museum, to most people, is an institution where exhibits are displayed to interest and enlight= on the visitors. This is an im- portant function of any Museum but back of this is the funda- mental task of bringing 'together objects and facts and devising methods of preserving these for generations to conic. As an ex- ample. Take the case of the passenger pigeon which has been a special activity of the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology for quite a number of years. The passenger pigeon was once looked upon as a bird whose numbers would never be serious- ly disturbed, Millions upon mil- lions of these trim, swift wood pigeons passed from one section to another of wooded eastern North America in the days of the early pioneers. At that time it seemed impossible that they could vanish from the earth en- tiroly—irdt they became extinct es a wild bird at the close of the nineteerit$ century. Passenger Pigeons Established museums • immedi- ately set about to gather speci- mens that had been preserved by private individuals. It might have been thought that the salvaging of stuffed birds by an active campaign would soon have ex- hausted this source of supply so that the museums to come later would find it difficult, if not im- possible, to obtain specimens. The Royal Ontario Museum of Zoo- logy opened its doors in 1915, many years after the wild pigeon was doomed. To -day, however, it possesses a valuable collection d these birds. The collection of passenger pigeons is the result of an en- thusiastic private collector and naturalist, Mr. Paul Hahn of To- ronto. `Ir. Hahn has persistent- ly sought out specimens of this extinct species. Old cases of stuffed birds in attics and cellars, etiy and farm, have been explor- ed and from them many, many species have been rescued from dust and vermin for the Museum where they are safely stored for posterity. In the matter of saving speci- mens of a vanished species it id a case of "now or never." Regret- table instances have come to light where good suecimens have been destroyed by fire, rats and insects. This is the ultimate fate of all specimens that do not reach the perpetual safekeeping of Some museum. The museum's function in our society is to pre- serve material which constitutes the irreplaceable groundwork of human knowledge, and passenger pigeons 'definitely belong to this class of material. VOICE OF THE PRESS THOSE 17,000 VOTES Since the outbreak of war there have been 17,000 new po. sitions created across the coun- try in the service of the Domin- ion government.

THE WAR •WEE K—Commentary on Current Events Hitler, Mussolini Confer; Speed Mediterranean War "Against a coalition of en- emy forces the Axis is oppos- ing a coalition of its forces." --Virginio Gayda, in Ii Gi- ornale d'Italia. The fifth historic meeting be- tween Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini took place under much less auspicious circumstances, for the Axis, than any of the four previous conferences. The two dictators faced last week the pos- sible loss of both the Battle of the Mediterranean and the Battle of Britain -- the one through the threatening collapse of Italy; the other through the approach- ing peak in Anglo -U.S. war co- operation, The Questions Discussed The seasoned Associated Press correspondent, Dewitt Mackenzie, said that four questions were likely discussed at length at this meeting: (1) What Hitler could do to save Mussolini from being knocked clean out of the war; (2) What the Axis could do to repair economic and supply fenc- es, badly damaged by the Brit- ish blockade; (3) What policy they would pursue toward Ameri- ca, in view of the all-out program of aid for Britain; (4) How to make a killing of Britain within the next four months, before .American aid could put the Al- lies beyond the danger mark.' With regard to (1), it seemed likely that Italy would have to let the African Empire, victim of a masterly three -fronted "squeeze play" by Britain, pass out of its hands for the time being, and that the Axis would concentrate upon gaining control of Greece and the eastern Mediterranean — with the two armies and air forces undoubtedly under Nazi command. Balkan Turmoil To settle question (2) the tu- mult in the Balkans would have to be quieted, Rumania taken over and temporary peace restor- ed, without antagonizing the So- viet Union, — or Turkey, who stood ready with 100 divisions to oppose any German move across the Bulgarian border into Thrace. With regard to (3), Hitler and Mussolini were thought to have laid plans on the assump- tion that the United States would enter the war before next sum- mer, Sea vs. Air Power• Before the paramount question, (4), could' be solved, and a final decision in the war thereby reach- ed, a great test of British sea and Axis air power would come in the Mediterranean where, last week for the first time, Hitler was turning loose his dive -bombers (Stukas) in direct attack in suc- cessive waves, Whether or not the Nazis would go ahead with the invasion of Britain depended to a large extent on the results being achieved by the new` tech- nique In the Mediterranean, speci- fically in the strategic Sicilian channel gateway. Hitler had not been using his Stukas in di- rect bombing of Britain, was evi- dently saving them for use at the moment when he would chal- lenge British sea supremacy in the English Channel. Aid by March Expressing the fear that a grave crisis would develop in the war within the next sixty or ninety days, Frank Knox, United States Secretary of the Navy, urged the House of Representa- tives Foreign Affairs Committee to approve the Administration's bill authorizing President Roose- velt to lease, lend or transfer American-made fighting materials to. the nations battling the Axis.' ('Ihe defeat of Britain, he said, culd come about through the German submarine campaign or the effect of the continued Ger- man bombardment). Passage of the bill had already been delayed t': r a few days in the House, but its final enactment was believed possible by the middle of March, the thirtieth at the latest. During the same week, U. S, Secretary of War, Henry Stim- son, hinted at the early transfer of a portion of the American navy to Britain on terms "very advantageous to us" , . . and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, • in-' augurated as President of the United States for the third time, The Life of Winston Churchill -II declared: "Democracy is not dy- ing ... , • • • Japan Issues Warnings'�4 ' Frenzied consultations between :the Japanese Premier and high military officials in Tokyo last week reflected "the increasing delicacy of United States -Japan- ese relations" . , , Jap newspap- ers exhorted the government to be ready for resolute action to offset British and American in- fluence in East Asia, accused Great Britain and the U,S. of in- stigating the current border war between French Indo-China and Thailand (Indo-China is viewed as the keystone of Japan's new "southward program") ,-, . But Japan's biggest warning to the western world came from the lips of Foreign Minister Mat- suoka who called upon the United States to revise her attitude .to- ward Japan's ambitions in Gi'eat- or East Asia, A modified Ameri- can attitude was essential, he cautioned, "both for the sake, of peace in the Pacific and the sake of peace in the world in general. Should the United States become involved in the European war, lie continued, and "should Japan, too, be compelled to participate," the resulting conflict might spell "the downfall of civilization." U.S.-Soviet Rapprochement? The United States moved .to- ward friendlier relations with the Soviet Union last week following the removal of the "moral em- bargo" on shipments of strategic war supplies to Russia, This ac- tion came the day after the Jap- anese Foreign Minister recom- mended closer friendship be- tween Japan. and Russia, and was interpreted by • many informed Americans as an effort by the United States to draw the Soviet away from the Axis. * * ,a Farmers Organize The amazing phenonenon of the Canadian farmer emerging from his cocoon of rugged indi- vidualism was seen Iast week at Toronto where hundreds of ag- ricultural leaders of the Domin- ion met, under the auspices of the Canadian Federation of Agricul- ture, and decided to organize themselves into one nighty body from the Atlantic to the Pacific, War -tine stress had accomplish- ed what a hundred years of peace -time drift had 'failed to bring about, At last the Can- adian farmer had realized the truth: "Your strength is in union. Organize." Hepburn Holds Spotlight Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn of Ontario, the figure who best represents the forces in Canada who want to build up the power of the Provinces, weakening the power of the Dominion Govern- ment, held the spotlight of public attention here for most of last week. First, he was instrument- al in breaking up the Sirois Do- minion -Provincial Conference at Ottawa; next, he upheld the cause of Ontario farmers in the face of the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture's refusal to do anything, by announcing that a bonus of two cents a pound would 'be paid on Ontario -manufactured ched- dar cheese; then he came forward with a new progl'an of war fi- nancing, recommending that the Bank of Canada issue new cur- rency (approximately $480,000,- 000) to take care of the increas- ing needs of wartime and that the 3 per cent scale of war borrowing be abolished, On top of this he spiked every rumor current about the country that there would be an election in Ontario . this year. Other Problems to Discuss One of the other two provin- cial premiers who opposed adop- tion of the Rowell-Sirois Report, William Aberhart of Alberta, ex- pressed the disappointment, felt by many people throughout the Dominion, that there had been no further discussion at Ottawa on Canadian problems between the Dominion and the provinces. Mr. Aberhart said: "I thought when we decided there was no possi- bility of adopting the principle of the report that we would have Hurdling For Keeps D. 0, Finlay, well known to the sports world as Britain's Olympic hurdler, is shown getting into the cockpit of his 'Spitfire plane.' lay is now a squadron leader in the Royal Air Force, His squad- ron' has shot down more than 100 enemy planes, 'according to the records, been invited to talk over present problems, of Dominion -Provincial affairs together . , I looked on the solation of these problems as more important;.than the final adoption of the report itself," Farm .Notes . . . Top -Grade Wool Must Be Clean Since wool is .an essential war time commodity, its production should be receiving every con- sideration, particularly at the pre- sent time., It is estimated that thirty per cent, of wool marketed annually is unfit to enter the top grades, due to the presence of chaff, seeds, burrs, and branding materials such as tar anti ordin- ary paint, and is thus sold at a considerable reduction in price. All of these contaminating ma- terials 'can be avoided if proper management practices are follow- ed. At the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, states. S. B. Wil Hams, Animal Husbaiulry.,.

THESE ARE I "Art of the .DoniraionProvinciot C 9n fer e n Ce on the •Siioli--.ROOOrt:: • IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT at this critical phase of our national life that the people of the Province of Ontario should be given the facts and allowed to base their considerations and judgment on them. . There is very little doubt that in many instances opinions have been based on speculation, propaganda and rumor. • The statements given herewith are taken from the Official Reports of the- Confereitte as published by the Dominion Government, HON. MITCHELL F. HEPBURN, PRIME MINISTER AND PROVINCIAL TREASURER OF ONTARIO, (Vol. 1, Pages 14 to 20)s • "Mr. Prime Minister and gentlemen, during this time of stress and strain and ruthless warfare I have never publicly criticized the Sirole report or its recommend. ations. I did make a statement about the timing of the publication of the report because I believed then, and still believe, and amJoined in this belief by many per• sons, that I did a public service in calling attention to the act of throwing into the arena of discussion a highly contentious document at a time when people who love the Empire and all it stands for are concerned with one thing, and one thing alone—the "umlaut prose. -eution of a victorious war in which our national Recur• ity is at stake, For if our effort fails, Hitler, and not the delegates present at this dominion.provincial con- ference, will settle our domestic problem. In this regard' the policy of the government of Ontario has not changed in any particular, Those of us nho represent the central province have been con - intent in our attitude. Some while ago a former associate of .mine in the House of Commons, my good friend the Minister of Finance, Journeyed to Toronto, at which time he die. cussed with Mr, Nixon, Mr. MeQuesten, Mr. Walters and myself the advisability of implementing the recom. mendations of the Sirole report. Along with my col. leagues present, I urged—yes, almost begged him to use his influence to prevent this becoming a national issue during war time. I am satisfied he conveyed my mete sage to the Prime Minister, I was, therefore, somewhat perplexed when, a few days later, I received a letter from the Prime Minister of Canada advising that a con• Wenn would be called and that the federal govern. ment was, in effect, recommending favourable consider. stion of the commiseion findings. Again, in order to maintain our consistency, I replied as follows: 'I have your letter of November 2nd, regarding tho 8iroie commission report. 'I was hopeful that a discussion of this problem could be delayed until after the war so that there could be no possibility of any controversial issue arising which might impair national unity and the effective prosecution of the war. 'Howeverin view of the fact that a conference is to i be called it s the intention of this government to make available its representatives any time that may be re- quired after the middle of January, al suggested by you.' Later etill, on December 28, 1940, the Prime Min. later in a letter stated in part: 'In view of requests from several of the provinces, a proposed agenda which we will recommend to the conference has been worked out and is outlined below.' Not having been asked for, nor having made any recommendations, I therefore am free to suggeet that further consideration be given to the following sentence in the letter in question: 'I should like to emphasize the view of the govern. went that the opening session should be confined to general statements and not to debate on points of detail or special circunzstances.' Public Should Be Informed The following paragraph of the letter informs u that the conference will then resolve itself into working committees, which will sit In camera. The Ontario delegates desire that we state our case publicly and briefly and at no time be a party to a scheme which withholds from the press and the public vital information to which they are Justly entitled. We were not informed nor consulted with regard to the terms of reference contained in the order in council passed by the dominion cabinet which gave life to the commission Itself. When Ontario's presentation WIN made we asked for nothing. When the findings were agreed upon by the commissioners, Ontario bad no representative, Mr. Rowell having long before retired because of ill health. But later on we were presented with a costly five hun. dred thousand dollar report—the product of the minds of three professors and a Winnipeg newspaper man, none of whom had any governmental administrative experience, and whose opinions all of ua cannot share. In view of the fact that, In the report itself, it is stated that Mr. Rowell httd nothing to do with it,- his name, which has been tagged on for purposes of propa- ganda, can very well be omitted in future. Those of us who believe in democracy abhor the very word propaganda because the circulation of ready. made opinions by any centrally -controlled power is the most dangerous enemy of civilization. From this per. spective we see the evil working of such a vicious system In Europe, leaving in Its wake misery and suffering which shakes one's faith in humanity itself. Can Provinces and Dominion Both Win? Let us guard carefully for fear a 'limiter franken. stein does not appear in our midst. In the first flush of public ruction the propaganda machine made it appear that to implement this document would make the provinces richer and, at the same time, make the dominion richer by the simple process of transferring debts and revenues to the central government. Inasmuch se there are only two parties to the deal, surely one nand only to have an elementary knowledge of economics to appreciate the fact that both cannot win. Unless there are transferred with the debts suffl. tient existing provincial revenues, the dominion will have to increase taxea or debt or probably both. This does, however, offer an opportunity to explore every possibility of reducing all governmental costs in Canada and, to this end, Ontarto is prepared to cooperate to the limit at the right time. That le a domestic problem to which we can devote time and effort as a postwar probleni, and much better be it so too, benne the financial problems of to -day may have very little rela- tionship with those of a year hence. I am convinced that the commit:stoner" were gen. hely sincere, and others also, when months ago they stated that by assuming the cost of employable' on relief the dominion would render a financial favour to the provinces and the municipalities. But anyone who gays so today, if convergent with the true facts, Is guilty of unadulterated 'humbug'. Unemployables Major Problem Hon, Mr. Howe said some while ago that, since the report was written, more than half the employables have secured jobs and that the other half would be absorbed in industry during this year. I believe Mr. Howe. In fact, if we are going full out in this war effort, it is a reflection on the government not to put to work immediately the physically fit adult males of all Canada. But the end of employable relief problems does not by any means solve the issue. There is still left the army of unemployables, who today make up the vast burden of relief and, generally speaking, will con. tinne to do so. Under present arrangemente, the dominion contd. letter forty per cent. towards the cost of food, clothing and shelter. If title report le adopted in its entirety, the dominion will contribute nothing and its former share will have to be borne by the provinces and municipal- ities after revenues, out of which these costs were fore merly met, have been surrendered to the dominion. I am sure the actual working out of the system is quite different from that anticipated. When the report was written, on page 86, Book II, it is said that the taxes left to the provinces are more stable. In Ontario, we shall have left the profits from the Liquor Control Board operations, vehicle licences and gasoline tax. Where Is the stability! Wartime prohibition, au a dominion measure, lute already been requested and, if my memory serves me correctly, the Minister of War Services misted, and quite properly so, that the federal government has the power to enact such a measure. • . Already a Fuel Controller has been appointed and be has the power to regulate the distribution of Deo. line. As a war measure; he could deprive us entirely of revenues from the !kneed vehicles and gasoline. We ehouid then have to go to the dominion authorities with a tin cup in bur hands eaying—'either contribute to, the extent of our lose of revenue or pay for the social services of Ontario'—and, believe me, they are many and varied -in this. age of growing paternalism. When the Prime Minister addressed to me on Nevem. ber 2nd, 1940, a letter with 'reference to this proposed conference, he said in part: 'While the cost of unemployment relief has been reduced, the war has cast additional burdens on govern- ments and taxpayers alike. It has Inevitably increased the competition between governments to secure rev- enues, and has aggravated the overlapping, cumber. some and discriminatory character of much of our tax structure.' Ontario Co•operates on Income Tax I take this opportunity of referring to the actions of the government of the province of Ontario with respect to the Income Tax Act of Ontario. Perhaps I should explain that the Incumo Tax Act of Ontario differs from the acts of most of the other provinces in this respect—that we allow as a deduction from the Income of the Ontario taxpayer the amount of tax paid to the dominion government under the Income War Tax Act before we impose our own tax, Is that interfering or competing with the dominion, especially as it has been admitted by former ministers of finance of Canada that for.the dominion to levy an income tax at all is to invade provincial fields of taxation 1 To make such an allowance as I have get out is not Competing with the dominion; it itt taking a secondary position to the dominion. Furthermore, let me state that the province of Ontario was the first province in Canada to arrange with the dominion to save the cost of collection of the income tax and the economic waste of time of taxpayers; Ontario arranged with the dominion government that the Ontario tax should be collected by the same dominion officers and at the same time as the dominion tax is collected. That is not competition. That is cooperation, ad - mated by all, and due credit being given by all tax• payers affected, Further, the -dominion government, on September 13th, 1930, added a surtax of 20 per cent.'applicable to income of 1039 and subsequent periods. This meant a lesser amount of income left in the hands of the tax. payers to be subject to the Ontario tax, The province of Ontario agreed to absorb this loss in revenue. Ontario Suffers Revenue Loss On August 7th, 1040, the 20 per cont. surtax and' all the old rates under tho Dominion income 'Tax AI were repealed and in their places newer and higher rates were enacted, and at the same time, exemptions were cut, Theo changes were applicable to the incomes of 1089. Besides these changes in rates, the new National Defence Tax was enacted applicable to income" earned from July 181, 1040. The effect of these added imposts was to seriously reduce the revenues of the province of Ontario, and it is estimated that for the fiscal year which begins on April 1, 1041, the province of Ontario wili.suffer a lose of revenue of upwards of two million dollars. We have turned over the Elgin Hospital—a seven million dollar institution—and many other provincial properties, without payment or reward and will. -con- tinue to do so. We have curtailed our capital expenditures and have delayed necessary worke—works that would have been profitable and would have yielded additional revenue. Then, too, In an effort to encourage the incoming of American tourists who will bring with them much needed American &tilers, so necessary to enable the dominion to save exchange and prosecute the war, the province of Ontario has undertaken to expend on pub. Hefty and advertising for tourists this year the sum of three hundred thousand dollars. That, according to officials of the dominion government, is cooperation, not competition. And in respect to the Corporations Tax, it will be within the memory of the representatives of the various provinces here that the authorities of the dominion government have appointed a board to be presided over by the Hon. Charles P. McTague, Justice of the Su. preme Court of Ontario, which board has been formed to determine the amount of obsolescence and deprecia. tion that may be allowed taxpayers as a write-off against profits which will be subject to war taxation, The government o the province of Ontario has announced that it will wept without question the findings of this dominion.created board. Ontario Not Competing Time does not permit a lengthy recital of 'other acts of cooperation on the part of the government of the province of Ontario, but I challenge anyone to success- fully charge the government, of Ontario or, for that matter, any other province, with competition for revenue In fields that do not exclusively'belong to the provinces, or with any lack of cooperation whatsoever. On the other side of the picture, even although the organization of Resources Committee, patterned after the one that functioned so effectively in the last war, was set up by our Ontario Legislature—and by un- animous vote—the nucleus, with power to add, consist. Int of His Honour Lieutenant-Oovernor Matthews, Colonel Drew and myaelf—and even although well over a year ago we journeyed to Ottawa and personally pledged, on behalf of the organization, the fullest mea• sure of cooperation in every possible war effort, the secretary of the organization now advises ma that not a single request or communication has been received from the federal government, Any jut criticism that may be levelled against the government of Ontario for its considered Judgment on title lune tny colleagues and I accept without coup plaint. But if the propagandists believe for a moment that, because of our attitude, we will remain silent while insinuations are broadcast deliberately for the purpose of branding us as unpatriotic, unneighbourly with our eider provinces, or guilty of doing anything to block Canada in achieving our maximum war effort. then I say to them, 'We shall defend ourselves from that kind of attack here, on the floor of the legislature, and on the public platform,' Hire I 'mil myself of the opportunity of warning the purely financial prase and others that they have overplayed their hands by attempting to cloak this report with the garment/1 of patriotism and under the exigencies of war'would do irreparable damage to both national unity and confidence. 1 desire to quote one authority as a case in point. The Toronto Star, a supporter of the present federal government in its editorial of November 20th, 1940, says: 'The Star believes that the general idea of the report Is a gond one, the idea that the dominion should be the chief tax collector end, as an offset, sesame certain provincial responsibilities That was the then friendly policy of that paper. What did the Star say in ite editorial of Saturday, January 11, 19411 I quote: 'The report has, naturally enough, strong backing. Great financial concerns and wealthy individuals who are holders di provincial bonds support a project which would piece the credit of the dominion behind provin. dal securities whose market value has greatly de. teriorated. A Toronto broker has estimated that adop- tion of the.report might add as much se 520,000,000, 540,000,000 and 500,000,000 to the value of the bonds of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, respectively. This gift to the bondholders would be more costly to Ontario than any other province. Ontario's own bonds would not be Increased in value to any marked degree, as its credit closely approaches that of the dominion, A feature of the arrangement not generally realised is that In' the case of Alberta the dominion would assume not only the provincial debt, but the defaulted interest on the same. This bad reached 511,400,000 by 1987 and stands now at a much higher figure. Ontario's federal taxpayers provide nearly half the dominion revenue out of which this gift to the bondholders would be provided.' That shows the'changing opinion of that great pub- lication. Why f Because that and other newspapers, senaing public opinion, aro reflecting the growing sue• picion of the awakening public mind. As a political observer I say that there Is a fast developing body of opinion, not without cause, now promoting the idea that behind this untimely move, ostensibly as a war measure, is a well -cooked, nefarious deal to make good the losses in depreciation of certain bonds held largely byfinancial houses, to collect unpaid interest on Alberta bonds and to cause a sharp appreciation in bonds of certain provinces, which bonds were, because of cit.. cumstances beyond the control of the respective pro• vincial treasurers, actually sold at much lees than par, although the coupon rate was abnormally high, This possible huge capital appreciation is not even subject to federal income tax. • I solemnly warn those who are obviously pressing suchmfoorntcaction that they may aggravate that suspicion and destroy completely public confidence in govern- • , Canada Must Be United • Now I come, to a subject of even greater importance —national unity. We have it today. All Canada is behind the prosecution of the war, We are a united people. We need be, We have a common foe in the dictators. I happen to know something about religious and racial issues. I can speak feelingly on this subject. We tried, as a government, to remedy a simple ob. vious injustice and inequality with regard to school tax revenues, We failed, and the very ones we tried to help were as anxion as anyone.else to have us retrace our steps. Is not'a similar situation, on a larger scale developing today Already there are rumblings that Quebec ix getting preferred treatment, I know that, to some extent, there are extenuating circumstances. But the fact remains that Quebec is being relieved of some of her municipal debts, while other provinces are not. Quebec Is to receive an eight million dollar yearly irreducible sub. aidy, while others including Ontario, are not to receive a cent. Again there are extenuating circumstances, But explanations do not always explain sueh cases with certain sections of society, The Toronto Telegram la n powerful newspaper and reflects the opinions of many citizen' of Ontario who have a great respect for its considered opinion. The Toronto Telegram has dealt with this aspect of the report with great effect. I shall not quote from .its editeriale—that is not necessary. AH I can say is not to underestimate the power of the press In this regard. This new issue being developed proeente a challenge to those of us who believe in national unity. T9 blind ourselves to the obvious is not fair to Canada, net fair to our neighbouring province ,of Quebec, especially when by this deal, according to the best constitutional advice 1 can get, Quebec and the rest of ue will have to agree to a surrender to a central authority of rights and privileges granted by the British North America Act, I say that so long as my colleagues and I have any eay in directing public policy for Ontario and so long as there Is a British North America Act In its present form, which cannot be amended at will by a muehroom government that may in future take Ace in Ottawa, we shall, as a sister province, stand solidly beside Quebec If at any time her minority rights are threatened. On this sound foundation of national unity we stand as firm and resolute as the Rock of Gibraltar itself. To lay hands on the life work of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir John A. Macdonald is nothing short of national vandalism., Do We Fiddle While London Burns? In the postwar period we may have to open our gates to thousands, yes millions, of European homeless and destitute, If title eventuates, the British North America Act may servo a useful purpose until the pro. cess of assimilation la completed. Is this the time to send a courier to bomb -torn London with a document in his hand and have him step into the Hall of Westminster and ask the British parliament to paueo in its consideration of question determining the very life of the British Empire in order to debate the question of a new constitution for °made? To me 11 10 unthinkable that we should be fiddling while London is burning. In the heart of the Empire the citizenry—mon, women, boys and girls—with their bare hands are beating out the flames spread by ruth' less vandals upon the housetops and the roofs of their homes. Britons, on the shores of the sea and in the streets of their cities, will resist the invader foot by foot with their very lives, as their great leader said they would. Instantly concerned with their struggle to survive and to save us throughout this Empire and .with nothing else, they aro waging a winning fight to-dny, the remembrance of which will never die while freedom lives. They have no other concern. • Today, while these brave people are shielding their homes with their bodies and braving the bursting bombs and the hall of machine gun bullete, do we read that the Lord Mayor of London has paused in his efforts to save the nation and has called a meeting of the aldermen to consider a readjustment or a revision of the borough system of the great metropolis which Is now a beleaguered fortress, I listen to Mr. Churchill, to Mr. Roosevelt, the two great democratic leaders who stand out as beacon lights In this bewildered world to -day. I believe in their sin- cerity. Only an all-out effort will save civilization and ehristianity. Our central government now, under the War Measures Act, has extreme, even dictatorial, power. If there is anything specific that the dominion govern- ment wants to help In its war effort, say so, and I am sure every province will assist by passing immediately the necessary enabling legislation, This can be aceom- plished without controversy and without upsetting our reasonably well -organized system of government, Ontario Shall Continue to IIeTp In our war effort we of Ontario believe we have been helpful and shell continue to be so, even to the extent of not joining in the clamour to unload over two billion dollars of debts of other public bodies on the dominion treasury in war time. The process of transfer itself would be involved and upsetting to our whole financial system, A transfer of all tax collection activ- ities of the classes Indicated to the report to the central authority could only be made after complicated and far reaching legislation could be enEted. The time and effort of the federal parliament would be devoted in this direction when every ounce of effort le required in tite successful prosecution of the war. And while you thus obligated yourselves to fight this war with the last drop of printer's ink and to the Int page..of Hansard, confusion, utter confusion, would prevail in delolwagrernments as existing tax machinery bogged We, in Ontario, I emphasize, have anxiously co- operated with the dominion government In its war effort and shall continue to do so. But this is a peacetime document, and we believe honestly and sincerely that the time to dieense 11 1. not 'now, but only when the menace to our democracy, Christianity and freedom is removed by the complete defeat and even annihilation of the ruthless Axis powers."'

JOHN BRACKEN, PRIME MINISTER OF MANITOBA, (Vol. 1, page 30): "Manitoba does not think • it unreasonable, If it wanted to borrow,mdney on the credit of the dominion, that it should be expected first to obtain the approyal of such National Finance Commission.

If a case comeo up in which such op - prove) is withheld, that will not prevent us if we think the object is a worthy one from borrowing upon our own credit. It has been suggested that such borrowing upon provincial credit alone will be lat. possible If the commission's recommendations are made effective. We,do not agree. Any province which ran borrow now, could still borrow if the commission's recommendations were in force. The success of such borrowing in either case depends upon the credit of the province which is attempting to borrow. For ex. ample, with their resources we do not think that either Ontario or Quebec will have any difficulty in borrowing if this report is implemented; some other provinces might have; but is there not a question as to whether these latter could borrow satisfactorily even if the report is not implemented 1 If they could not, then they are certainly no worse off after implementation because then they can borrow in proper 01/166 upon the credit of Canada. The fact is, and. the report inakes it clear, that In the matter of future borrowing, the provinces are to be left in exactly the same position In which they now aro. Indeed, they can continue to borrow upon their own credit. In addition, they are given a new and valuable right, exercisable wholly at their own option, of berrying upon the credit of Canada."

HON. WILLIAM ABERHART, PRIME MINISTER OF ALBERTA, (Vol. 1, page 63)t "Our people will tusk, 'Why are they so anxious to raise an issue like this ,when we all have our hands full with the job of the war!' And the whisper .has gone around, 'It is the money powers.' I am going to speak frankly. I believe that the perilous situation which is facing our nation and the empire demands sincerity of speech and boldness of action, I maintain that it would be most unfortunate if the idea gains popular credence that there is scan. carted and deliberate attempt being made by the money powers to increase "centralized control of our national life while our attention is fully occupied with the prosecution of our war effort, and that thereby there is developing an endeavour to obtain an unfair ad. vantage over the people by means of imposing upon them a crushing debt structure under which they will be further enslaved.. I em sure that every man in this pilfering must be aware that considerable suspicion has been aroused in the minds of many because of the intensity of the propaganda campaign and the great expenditure of money and the frantic and unwarranted haste that has been urged in connection with the adoption of the Roivellitrols recommendations. Make no mietake about it. Not only the efforts to gain the adoption of then recommendations, but the barrage of obviously inspired propaganda to win sup. port for the "union now" proposals have been causing growing uneasiness in the minds of many, Whether it is common knowledge or not, we in Alberta are fully informed on the action which was taken in Australia regarding this sinister propaganda, In that British country they seem to have much more direct methods than we have to deal with such matter'. We note that instead of allowing the use of radio facilities for ite dissemination, as was done here, they treated this "union now" propaganda es being subversive to the British empire and raised such a storm of protest that publio addresses on the subject had to be abandoned. Surely it must he evident to any loyal British sub. ject that to sit ealmly and indifferently by while we are being hoodwinked and inveigled into a financial dictatorship or a fascist state, at a time when we are giving the best of our manhood to the empire and are interlacing our all to overcome that foul thing which has raised ite head in the world in.many guises --a total!.

Conference on the Sirois Report (CONTINUED) NON. T. B. McQUESTEN K.0 ONTARIO MIN. ASTER OF HIGHWAYS AND MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS, (Vol. 2, papa 83 to 87)1 "Mr,'' Prime Minister andentlemen, before thisconference dissolve.; the province of Ontario would like to place before' it its financial position with regard to the efecte of the Wrote report on the province's finances. Perhaps I might properly preface what I have to say *day by. referring to two points touched upon by the Premier of Manitoba (Mr. Bracken) in the pre. lactationof die argument before the opening session of the conference yesterday, Hon, Mr. Bracken made what I might call an earnest plea to the delegates of this conference, and parlioularly to the Premier of Ontario, to consider the attitude taken by the late Hon. George Brown at tho.verioua conferences leading up to confederation. In bringing Mr. Brown's game into the conference he has suggested that Mr, Brown very properlyforgot hie own personal feelings' In the matter and oined hands With Macdonald and others in shaping confederation as expressed by the British North America Act. I consider it rather an unfortunate choice of argu• nient to ask that the Premier of Ontario emulate Brown. I hold that in taking the ettitude he hes Hon. Mr. Hepburn has been but living up to the traditions of Brown, and hae defended and upheld all that Brown stood for, and is safeguarding the rights and reeponet• blllttes veeted In the separate provinces by confedera- tion, I'pretei to support and adopt the material structure which was created by Brown, rather than attempt to interpret its spirit, as Mr. Bracken has pur• porte to do. If Mr. Braoken'e argument were to pre. vall, istory would be degraded, our ideals chattered, and the names of our pubilo men cast into the ossuary of time. Mr, Bracken was on better ground when he advanced the idea that provincial autonomy without adequate revenues for discharging the. functions of government for which provinces are responsible, is but little more than a farce, To put the same idea In another way, without fiscal independence there can be no provincial_ autonomy. I am prepared today to review the financial history of the province of Ontario, particularly relating to the years since the present government has been in charge at Toronto. of Ontario. This inaccuracy amounts to the large figura of $11,758,000. The reconciliation of these amounts ,is available and can be explained- by the technical 'of8cera°ot :the treasury department. With `respect to the present fiscal year, the aituetlon le infinitely worse, If the Sirola plan were adopted and made effective for tho present flecal year, which endo on March 81 next the province of Ontario would be faced with a certain net loss in revenues of, the Gum of $17,000,000. This for the present fiscal year 'alone. The province will be required to give up annual revenues of $40,000,000 Deduct from this expenditure as sumed by the dominion, and the one mill subsidy to the municipal. )ties, which could not longer bo paid, a total sum of , .. , , 23,000,000 Leaves a lose of $17,000,000 One of the first results of this lose In revenue, brought about by the giving up of the succession duty taxes, would be the loss in revenue to the University of Toronto of the sum of $500,000, I would refer you to the Revised Statutes of Ontario (1987) chapter 872, section' 129, which is the statutory authority for pay went from the proceeds of succession duties to the University of Toronto in the sum of $600,000 per annum, Ontario Balances Budget Briefly, let me state that we have followed since the let of April, 1988, a sound financial policy, es shown byour budgetary position. In 1980.87 1987.88, and 38.39 we had balanced budgets. This year we are promlaed by our premier who to also the provincial treasurer, a balanced budget, a surplus and a reduction In debt. This wholesome and enviable budgetary position lute placed us in a position to carry out a policy of assist. once to the 900 municipalities which form the local government administrations of Ontario. For example the province has aeeumed the entire capital cost of construction of our great highway system, the financial burden of which formerly rested in part upon the municipalities, The province also contributes in various ways toward highway construction expenditures by municipalltlee. In matters of public health, Ontario bee made great strides and has, "Once thioovernment took charge, at an annual oast of millions of dollars, assumed the entire burden of the care of indigent tubercular patients. Publio health In Ontario costs the province of Ontario a sum exceeding $900,000 per month. Then, In exchange for the income tax, which was formerly collected by a few of the 900 municipalltlee we have- euhetitutod a provincial income tax, and have assumed the entire coat of tho sharp formerly borne by the municipalities of old age pensions and mothers allowances. • The annual cost to the government of Onlerfo'tor old ago pensions, es represented by the present fiscal year, amounts to three and a halt million dollars: This in. eludes the province's share of penslons for the blind. The annual cost to the province of mothers' allow• sneer this year will exceed the sum of five and a quarter million dollars, All of these Items—thet le, 'old age ponaione, pen:dons for the blind and mothers' allow- anew—are annually increasing in amount. I quite agree with the estimate made by prominent actuaries that they will continue to increase for the, nextJilty years, It is difficult at this time to estimate the final limit of the cost of these three social :services,which, es you are aware, were never dreamed of by te Fathers of Confederation. We also payto the municipalities an annual subsidy of one mill, aaod on the general assessment of the municipalities, and thio amounts In round figures to the sum of three million dollars per annum. Another function of government that is growing annually le•oducation, and it to estimated that for the present fiscal year the province will spend upwards of thirteen muton dollere. Set Education Back 50 Years But that 1e Just one indication of what the loss in revenues would mean to education in our province. Education in Ontario would be set back fifty years. This would apply partioularly to the "little red school house" and to the struggling separate schools, which under present conditions require the same as public schools—annual grants from the provincial treasury, The splendid work done by the department of health of Ontatio in waging a successful fight to stamp out the menace of tuberculosis, which fight is being con• ducted at an annual coat to the province of upwards of f8,000,000, could not be carried on, unless revenues rom some other source were forthcoming. This would Involve some new type of taxation, but Inaemuch as taxes on estates, taxes on incomes, taxes on corporations, and taxes on mining profits, would no longer be available to the province of Ontario, any additional burden of taxation required to raise revenue to continue a reasonable standard of education wpuld inevitably fall upon real estate—upon tho farmer, the homeowner and the business man. I also bring to your attention tho fact that muni. cipalitios of the province of Ontario will Buffer for the present fiscal year by the implementation of the Sirots report, the loss In revenue exceeding $5,000,000. Now, if you will add the net loss in revenue to be sustained by the province of Ontario of $17,000,000 to the $5,000,000 certain loss to be sustained this year by the municipalities of Ontario, you have the enormous sum of $22,000,000—net lose to the province end the municipalities. This; Mr, Chairman, is only the beginning. These Imes are bound to increase, because the functions of government lett with the province aro, from their very nature, increasing in the r burdensome character, in so far as the need for revenue 1e concerned. Compares Relief Coate One of the services that has cost enormous sums dur- ing the pest decade fe that of the cost of relief, Under the preeont basis of contribution the dominion pays 40 per cont, of direct relief costs, excluding medical servieet, Including medical services the dominion con• trlbutlon le 88 per cent. of the total ex endlturo. For • the present flecalear, that le, the period ending March 81 next, relief will cost Ontario the sum of ten million dollars. Of this the dominion's share will be $3,800. 000, the provincial share $4,800,000, and the mini. cipalitiee' share $1,900,000. Estimating the•cost of relief for the fiscal year which . begins April 1, 1941, calculated on the present basis of shering the cost of relief, and estimated Isom the beet available information, the relief picture in Ontario will be represented as follows Dominion "here $2,555,000 Provincial share 2,892,000 Municipal share If the Rirole baste be adopted, for the fiscal year 194142, the cost is estimated as: Dominion share ........ , . , . $ 566,00 Provincial share , , .. , .. ,+ 4,927,000 Municipal. share 1,282,000 Thus it will be observed that by adopting the Biro's basis the dominion would enjoy a saving of $L 989,000, while the province of Ontario would be called upon t Increase its expenditures by the sum of $2,085,000, and the burden of the municipalities would be prac- tically the same as under the present plan, the differ• ence being lose than $50,000. The officer" of the treasury and welfare departments are here, and are supplied with all details wlth respect to relief figures, and in fact other relief figures, and we are prepared lo diecnss these mattersin detail if and when required. At ,this juncture I desire to make a statement with respect to the eetimated saving or pin to the province of Ontario as contained on age 96, Book II, of the recommendations of the Stroh: commission, The estimated savings or pin to the province of Ontario, on the 1987 base le $5,326,000 per annum. But a metal analysis of the figure" Indicates that in• stead of a pin of 15 826,000, the actual het loss to the province for the 1987 period would be $8,432,000. Thug It will be seen that the Information given on page _ 96 of the Stroll report is to the expected Improvement In the financial poittion of the province on the 1987 with the base n of then tte reaenry department t in rof the province PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO Real Estate Burden Intolerable No ono conversant with the problems of public fin - slice that beset the provinces and the municipalities in Canada to -day will attempt to deny that the burden on real estate at present has reached a point where it 1s difficult for the farmer to meet his rates and taxes; it fe discouraging for anyone to attempt to build a home; and, in fact, dally In Ontario discouraged home• owners are attempting to salvage something from their equities and are parting with their homes, which rep. resent in ..large measure their only life savings, 'The real estate owner to•day, who can barely raise the amount of his taxes, will find that for every dollar of taxes he pays to•day In Ontario he will be called upon next year to pay $1.20. And this under warcondi. done where the cost of living is already mounting, and is, generally speaking, ten per cent. higher than it was at the outbreak of the war. As the Primo Minister has said, 'You leave us with the expensive functions of government." And I hold that the figures I have submitted prove that we will have insufficient funds to discharge those functions ofovernment, that health and education in particular will suffer, and the standard of living of our cltlzena who are 1n the class of what might bo described as the lower economic scale will be akin to a condition of sorvite'dependency, Now, Mr, Primo Minister, I have finished with my presentation of the financial effect of the report as it appears to this province, and I -am authorized on behalf of the premier of the province of Ontario, the Ontario delegation, and the people of the province, to announce that our association with thio to:celled conference is over. Some other members may take this opportunity to present their reply to the financial address of the Hon. Mr. haley, and to withdraw as we are doing. Wo leave It to the rest of the members to continuo their effort' to do what we aro bound to say would result In wracking confederation, as we understand it, and In destroying provincial autonomy and rights, We are returning to our busineee"and our final word to the dominion is that word with which wo opened: If the dominion decides to prosecute the war on a basis of cooperation we shall be ready, as we have always been in the past to cooperate In every known way and to throw the full weight of our groat province into the dominion's war endeavour," RT.

GENERAL OF CANADA, (Vol. 2, page 100)1 • "I read the Ontario newspapers, and this morning I read a statement In a Toronto newspaper to the effect that this commission report was a Quebec report, prepared by and for Quebec, for the benefit of that province. That article urged the people of Ontario to oppose 1t.

The book of Habakkuk was written about G25 B.C. The !words of our Lord here quoted were uttered in the autumn of A,D, 29, 'Nie first Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians was written about A.D. 64. Place.—Where Cain and Abel lived at the time this tragedy took place, we do not know, Hakakkuk was u prophet to Israel, The words quoted from one of our Lord's dile ;,Oourses were uttered in Capernaum. Thessalonica'was a great city of Asia Minor. The older classes especially need this lesson, because we are living to a'most selfish age, when, more and more, while we talk a great deal about social consciousness, dor the most part we are becoming alienated from our fellowmen, and especially in great cities find our selves living for ourselves. Yet people have never had as many contacts as they have today—let the vast importance of our relation- rihip to other people be particularly stressed here. - .Our Brother's Welfare Habakkuk 2: 15, "Woe unto him that glveth his neighbor drink, to thee that addest thy venom, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!" One sins against oneself when one drinks so as to produce a state of Intoxication, Here there is a double sin: one person gives another per- son to drink for the deliberate pur- pose of causing intoxication in him In order that he may be made Sport of. No matter if we believe drinking to be justified in seine way, let us never be guilty, even by word, of leading another per- son into this habit which sooner Or later will bring trouble, disaster and tragedy into his life. Gen. 4: 9. "And Jehovah said bnto Cain, Where is Abel thy rother? And ho said, I know not: est I my brother's keeper? 10. And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood .orieth unto me from the ground. 11. And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened its Mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 12. When thou ttllest the ground, it shall not teneeforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wander- er shalt thou be in the earth. When !r shalt thou be In the earth. A double curse is pro- nounced upon Cain but first he Is given the opportunity to repent; tor God is long-suffering and not willing that any should perish, Loving One Another It is not possibie and not nes- essary to describe in detail how a Christian must be his brother's keeper. My duty to my brother— and especially to my weaker bro- ther -- is to safeguard him from slipping away from duty, to keep him mindful of his pledgee and faithful to hia vows. The message we have received from God is that we should love one another. The Little Ones Mark 9 : 42. "And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it were. better for him if a great mill- stone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea." • Here is a word that should awaken all of us, parents, pastors, teach - ars, and all who hold positions of Influence. 'Phe spiritual trust and faith of a child must not be de- stroyed. 43. "And '" thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life Maimed, rather than having thy • two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, 45. And it thy foot Cause thee to stumble,, cut it off: It Is good for thee to enter into lite halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast tato hell. 47. And it thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: itis good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with .one eye, rather than hav- ing awin.g two eyes to be cast into hell; 48. where their worm dieth not and ttie fire is not quenched, Severe Self•Discipline Make a note of three points.

To begin with, we will never be able to abstain from every form of evil unless fiat we have a real knowledge cf what evil is. The Word of God wili light our pathway here, Rut it is ncit solely that we are to live a neutral life, refusing to do evil, but we are to live a positive, abundant life, In doing good—so constantly that our time Is wholly taken up with the things that God approv- es, our minds fascinated with them. our heart loving them, so that evil things find no room in us. True love for our fellowmen will prevent us from leading others into evil, also. I Hien That's Different As a hen "that's different, Mrs. Jay Grizzle of Madisonville, Texas, offers her bantam, Every morning when Mrs, Griz% zle leases her country home, this unusual fowl hops on the radius rod of the car and rides into town. After the owner parks in front of the store where she works, the hen stays near the machine. The bantam lays her eggs under the auto. At the end of the day, Mrs, Grizzle picks up the egg, the ban- tam climbs back on the radius rod, and hen and owner go home, RADIO IIEPORTEII ,% By GAVE ROBBINS - SPECIAL PROGRAM As a contribution toward .Can- ada's effort in the empire's battle against the forces of oppression, Canadian Broadcasting Industry will present a number of special programs during the coming month over a nation-wide net- work. This series will be heard on Friday evenings at 9.00., The series will be composed of,variety programs and feature produc- tions, including vocal and instru- mental stars as well as comedy and dramatic. talent. Rupert Caplan, J. Frank Willis, Rai Purdy and Janies Finlay will be in charge of the production work, and there will be shows really worth hearing. Be tuned in Friday night at nine. AROUND THE DIAL Much has been said about the power of radio and its effect on the Life and behaviour of people and communities ... but to my mind one of the outstanding ex- amples of radio's ability to help is contained in a letter written to Edward G. Robinson, and the following excerpt from that letter will, I think, Rove my point: • . your program Big Town hashelped, as have a lot of other good' programs, to show me that I have made a swell mess of my life and that I just CAN'T win. Well, maybe I'll get another chance some day. You know — I find myself rooting for you and the force of law and order to pre- vail, so I guess that there is a little hope for tae." This letter was «mitten by a pian serving time in a state prison. After his "Kraft Music Hall" broadcast, Tom. Harmon, the Michigan All-American halfback, was a dinner guest at Bing Cros- by's home. "We had a lot of fun talking," said Harmon, "but with some difficulty because we have opposite interests. Crosby is a football fan and I am a radio fan, He wanted to, talk football all the time, and I wanted to talk radio". "Rochester" ... Jack Benny'e famous butler and handy man is now enjoying some of the pleas- ures he missed as a boy because of the financial conditions of his family. Among the many things that Rochester has bought in jus- tification of his present efflu- ence is four complete electric train sets for himself! There are many surprising things to be learned about the radio stars, and I got quite a surprise the other day when I found that Edgar Bergen , , . the voice behind the animated fence -post McCarthy . . , earned his first money as a photographer during the first world war. Bishop of Arctic Visits New York The Right Rev.

Disposal Of Our 1940 Apple Crop Domestic ConsumptionIs Taking Care of Most Of It— Fixed Prices Established Canadian commercial apple pf0• ducera don{'nue to bo serloualy hit as a result of the war. In peace time nearly 60 per cent of their crop was, exported, with the Unit'.' ed Kingdom as the principal mark- et. That market, and others over- seas, are now. peactically . closed, Under an arrangement with the Dominion Government - and the chief exporting Provinces, certain fixed prices for apples'of: the 1940 crop, which ordinarily, would have been exported, have been estate lished. Many of the apples are mov- ing into domestic consumption ats. fresh fruit or processed in ono way. or another, Improvements in the technique of processing apples. have been developed in .the labor• , atories of the Dominion Depart• - ment of Agriculture and are prow ing helpful in the marketing, SMALLER CROP • Canadian apple production in 1940 is estimated at 111/2 million bushels as compared with 17% trillion bushels in 1939. About six and three-quarter million bushels will be offered this season as fresh fruit, leaving four and three- quarter million to be processed, Hobby Wanted? Raise Poultry Retired Workers and People Who Live On Pensions Are Advised by Lambton County Agricultural Representative Poultry raising as a hobby for retired railway employes, refinery workers and others who quit work to live on pensions was suggested' by W. P. Macdonald, of Petrolla, Lambton agricultural represent- ative, in a recent address at the annual banquet of the Sarnia Poul- try and Pet Stock Association', Men living in retirement would not only find it an interesting pas- time but it could eventually be- come a profitable industry, the ag- ricultural official said, PROFITABLE INDUSTRY Mr. Macdonald stressed the value of. the poultry industry to Lamb - ton farmers. In 1931, he said, there were a total of 1,004,000 birds in the county, u:d the returns to farmers totaled $362,000, Last year there were 1,029,000 birds and to- tal receipts were $649,000, Mr. Macdonald emphasized the necessity of preserving standards in the poultry industry,' and he praised the work of poultry shows in assisting in that regard, If the production of each hen in the coun- ty could be increased by 12 eggs • a year, it would mean an addition- al $180,000 for the owners,•he said, Jay -Walkers Blamed For Traffic Mishaps "Jay -walkers," those nonchalant pedestrians who carelessly thread their way through heavy traffic, accounted for the majority of trot- fic deaths in Montreal last year. Accordiug to figures released by the city's Traffic Department there were 85 'traffic deaths in 1940, three less than the previous year, and 68 of these were persons who took chances crossing the street.

March Is Next Season For Colds There Are Two Peak -Periods For Common Cold Epidemics —March and September Ev- ery Year March is the next common - cold period, says a study from Cornell Medical Centre -New York Hospital. Each year there are two peak periods, the other in September. As a result, most people have two colds a year, a fall cold and a spring cold. Drafts, - wet feet and sudden changes in temperature do not necessarily cause colds. Most — perhaps all of them — are caught from other people. • And they are most easily given to others before the first suffer- er ' even knows he has a cold. The reason is that the cause of colds, a tiny, unseen organism known as filterable virus, disap- pears from .the throat within three or four days.

Many children's mouths are wrecked for life before the age of 5, un- less routine dental care is insti- tuted, This was the message given 200 member's of the Toron- to Academy of Dentisty in Osler - Hall in January by Dr, John C. Brauer, professor of child den- tistry at Iowa State University. "One must think of aesthetic values," said,Dr, Brauer, "and re- member that a good-looking girl of 17 or 18 without teeth would not have a very good tinne at a ball." Says Diet Halts Decay "Education in the main, today, has accepted the responsibility and duty of teaching dental health," said the speaker. "Health is our most prized possession for without it few can succeed or achieve happiness." Dr. Brauer outlined a daily diet which in many cases had halted tooth .decay, , as follows: One quart milk, one to two eggs, one serving of meat, fish or chick- - en, two vegetables (half cup each), two fruits (orange, apple or tomato), one teaspoon of cod • liver oil, about six teaspoons but- ter, Original Cinderella • Few people know that the Third Pyramid of Gizeh, in Egypt, was erected by ;ting Mycerinus to commemorate Nitokris, a very beautiful maiden who was the original Cinderella. While bath- ing by the river, Nitokris lost her slipper. A great • eagle swooped on It and carried •It high over Memphis, where. finding it un-, palatable, the bird released it.

Lorne Scrimgeour, "THE TASK WILL E GE.TEI IN 1941- THAN IT HAS EEN ON 1940 ...itis going to demand more effort,. more sacrifice and f r :ore change in our daily lives. •." ALREADY the pattern and pace of life in Canada have undergone a profound change. Gaps in employment are rapidly filling up. Some 350,000 Canadians who were unemployed before the outbreak of war are now employed. Another 200,000 are with our armed forces. Factories, which until recently were turning out goods for civilian consumption, have been transformed into humming arselals, pouring out in- struments of war. Night and day shifts have become the rule rather than the exception. But the peak of effort is not yet in sight. In 1941 still more factories will switch to war produc- tion , . • new plants will be established, thousands more will be employed. This rising tide of activity must continue until we reach the flood of effort when every Canadian will be employed and working to his utmost, every possible square inch of plant will be utilized, every wheel will be whirring in the race we are waging against time and the enemy. More men are working ... working longer hours . , . making more munitions ... 'earning more money .. . • producing more goods ... putting more money into circulation. Most Canadians are sharing in this in- creased national wealth -- have extra dollars in their pockets. The effort the Prime Minister calls for is gaining momentum, but many Canadians, as individuals, have not yet felt the real pinch of sacrifice. Canadians of all classes are sharing tax burdens, but it must be admitted that up to date the larger part of the money needed for Canada's .war effort has come from business firms and individuals with large incomes. They are paying high taxes. They have already invested heavily in War Loan Bonds. WOR RT. HON, W. L. MACKENZIE KING (NEW YEAR'S EYE, )940) This is not enough. The plain truth is that Canada's rapidly expanding production for war purposes will require increasing sums of money. That is why the Prime Minister warned Canadians in his New Year's broadcast that the year ahead demands more effort and more sacrifice. Every man, woman and child is asked to lend. Every dollar you lend will help to put another man in a job .. making more munitions. Every dollar you lend may save a soldier's life . , . help to shorten the war. Small wage earners must carry their share of the burden, too. No one need go without necessities, but you are urged to forego the purchase of unnecessary articles .. . however small the cost • , . no matter how well you are able to pay for them ... which take labour and material away from the great task of providing goods needed to win the war. This is your war. Everything you have ... everything you believe in ... is now at stake. This is a message to you ... a challenge to every Canadian .. , a call, to the colours . . , a call for volunteers. Be sure to make provision to pay your Income Tax— payment is made easier by the new instalment plan. But be prepared to do more — budget yourearnings to make sure that you will have money available to buy War Savings Certificates and to subscribe for War Loan Bonds. You will help Canada — you will help yourself.
