Doctor And Patient
A symposium of replies to a questionnaire sent out to doctors by the American Foundation on the availability of adequate medical care for the populace generally, probably affords a key to the reason for the growing public demand for systems of state medicine or state health insurance.
The replies indicate that, in a broad sense, adequate medical care, no matter how conservatively the phrase is interpreted, is not generally avail- able and certainly not as available as it should be, and for a number of reasons.
While the information and opinion secured is, of course, applicable to conditions in the United States, there is little doubt that it is equally applicable in Canada, and in some respects more particularly in Western Canada, where similar social and economic conditions exist to those on the other side of the international boundary
That the problem of providing adequate medical care for the people is bounded by social and economic conditions is specifically revealed in the numerous replies received and it js because of this fact that public demand for state medicine is becoming such a prominent issue nowadays.
Quoting the Foundation’s own summarization of the replies to the question: “Is adequate medical care now readily available?” the Foundation points ot that many agree there is no categorical answer to such a ques- tion because of disagreement as to its meaning, “but, if medical care is interpreted to mean the kind of care needed to enable citizens'to maintain ‘positive’ health, preventing incipient illness from progressing to serious con- sequences, as well as doing all that can be done to restore the sick individ- ual to health, the weight of opinion s certainly that adequate medical care is not available.
“Even if adequate medical care is less ahbitsousty defined,” to further quote the Foundation’s summary as reported in the current issue of the “Canadian Doctor’, “this section contains a good deal of evidence in the form not of statistics but of direct picture (by men on the scene) to justify the premise that a large part of the population does not receive adequate medical care.
“(a) because it costs too much, especially hospital service and the laboratory aids to diagnosis;
“(b) because it is too far away, as in the vast agricultural areas far removed from medical centres and without either hospitals or practitioners;
“(c) because the public generally does not understand and is not ask- ing for modern scientific medical care, much of the population definitely preferring quacks, cultists and patent medicines, and, finally and most important;
““(d) because in the medical care of the present ‘the best is not yet good enough’, to cite many spokesmen,
“The reasons why medical care is not yet good enough are many, but these are the reasons most frequently brought forward by the. physicians:
“(a) There is a lag of years in applying new medical knowledge;
“(b) present medical training is not yet apenas good;
“(c) present licensing is too broad;
“(d) too many graduates do not or cannot eae up their competence;
“(e) medical imagination still does not sufficiently perceive that pre- vention rather than cure is the real and ultimate goal of medical science, as many competent leaders of medical science in this discussion declare it to. he,”
In view of the fact that the foregoing conclusions represent the con- sensus of opinion of apparently a ‘substantial cross section of the medical profession, considerable weight must be given to the information, but it should be pointed out that it does not necessarily coincide with the lay
viewpoint in its entirety.
When for instance the medical men declare that a large percentage of the population does not receive adequate medical care “because the public generally does not understand and is not asking for modern scientfic medi-
cal care,” they are making a statement which is open to debate,
It could very well be argued that a substantial percentage of the pub- ‘lie does not understand modern medical science, not because of any lack of desire to do so, but because there are yet too many doctors who adhere to the old fashioned doctrine that the less the patient is told the better and it is not surprising if, under such circumstances, patients fall back on the
too voluble quack for remedy,
In the minds of the public the practice of medicine is often too much shrouded in mystery which might be dispelled if more doctors took the patient into their confidence when making a diagnosis and wrote their pre-
scriptions in a form which could be understood by a laymen.
After all no person has a greater right to know what is wrong with him or her, to know what the doctor believes to be the cause of the ailment and the remedy that is being prescribed than the patient who is paying or
“owing” for the service.
Sometimes a little more explanation of causes, conditions and treat- ment would create a greater public confidence which would yield dividends
to the “regular” medical profession.

Roads Of The World Ford Has On Exhibit Materials From 18 Famous Highways
In the grounds of the Ford Ro- tunda at Dearborn, Michigan, the “Roads of the World,” comprising materials from eighteen famous highways, has been opened to the public. The materials consist of stones, slabs and soil.
The dedication of the “roads” was witnessed by consular officers of countries represented in the roads, also many good roads officials.
Among the representations are the Appian Way, the famous Roman highway; the “Summer Pa!ace’’ Road over which the Manchu emperors rolled from the old capital in what is to-day modern Peiping to the royal Summer Palace; the ancient Grand Trunk Road of India, whose north- ern reaches led through the fabled Khyber Pass, and the Diamond Rush Road of South Africa, over which Cecil Rhodes transported fortunes in diamonds from the De Beers mines to Port Elizabeth.
Naval Treaty Ratified
Provisions Of 1936 London Agree- ment Have Become Effective
Provisions of the 1936 London naval treaty became effective with the ratification by the United King- dom, Canada, Australia, New Zea- land and India.
Instruments of ratification were deposited at the foreign office. Sir Robert Van Stittart, permanent un- der-secretary for foreign affairs, signed for the United Kingdom; Sir Findlater Stewart, permanent under- secretary for India, for India; High Commissioner Vincent Massey for Canada; High Commissioner Stanley Bruce for Australia; and High Com- missioner W. J. Jordan for New Zea- land.
The United States deposited rati- fication a year ago and France a few weeks ago. The treaty limits the size and armament but not the number of naval vessels and provides for an in- terchange of information regarding projected naval construction.
Looks Like A Record
Remarkable Facts About Family Of 97-Year-Old Woman
Mrs. Anna. Pond, of Waterford, Ont., is 97 years of age. She reads a good deal, and prefers newspapers because they come fresh each day. Mrs. Pond has no time for worrying and cannot be convinced that it ever did any good anyway. If the weather is favorable this lady of 97 goes to church on Sunday and she also likes to attend Sunday school. What’s more she walks. Both ways.
All of which is interesting but not so remarkable as other facts regard- ing her family. Mrs, Pond is the. mother of 11 children and they are all livirig, and she herself.is the eld- est of a family of four and her two sisters and brother are also living, their ages being 89, 82 and 86.
We cannot recall having read or heard of another case like that. A woman of 97, with 11 children living, and with all her own generation still here.—Peterboro Examiner,
Traffic Control For ’Planes
Vancouver Airport Has Installed Traffic Control Projector
Among recent additions to the Vancouver airport is an airport traffic control projector, one of the latest safety devices put on the market. Familiarly termed “traffic guns,” lights of this type are used at all the leading United States air- ports for day and night control of aircraft not equipped with radio.
Although fitted with only a 50 candlepower lamp, the light is visible in bright sunlight for over three miles. The light is sighted like a gun and can also. be used for code signalling with white, red or green light, as a spotlight, and for making estimates of the cloud ceiling at night.
This “projector” is believed to be the first of its kind used in Canada and became necessary through the steady increase of traffic at the air- port.—Canadian Aviation.

Fleet Air Arn Now To Be Under Control Of The British Admiralty
Prime Minister Chamberlain an- nounced in the House of Commons that the fleet air arm—Great Britain's naval air force—henceforth will be under the “administrative control of the Admiralty.”
Heretofore "planes attached to the fleet have been under dual control. When at sea they have been subject to the orders of the naval authorities. On land and in training establish- ments the Air Ministry has exercised jurisdiction.
Anomalous position of the fleet air arm for long has been the subject of controversy, and partisans of the navy have waged a strenuous cam- paign to obtain full control for the Admiralty.
The Prime Minister declared the decision did not reflect on the present condition of the fleet air arm but had been reached because the Govern- ‘ment believed the lines laid down in the announcement would be the most satisfactory arrangement for the future.
A leader im the navy’s fight for full control by the Admiralty of the fleet,air arm has been Admiral of the Fleet Sir Robert Keyes, M.P. In a recent speech -he declared:
“There is nothing more important than for the navy to be equipped with an air force second to none. I, and others, are fighting very hard to get the navy given absolute free- dom to develop its air force in the way it thinks necessary.
“The present system is absolutely illogical. If our fleet should meet one with better air force equipment, that probably would decide the issue of the battle. Yet the navy to-day has no controk over its air force un- til it is actually embarked.”

It has its disconcerting aspects to those appalled. by nearly 40,000 fatalities yearly in motor accidents. Yet Mr. Kettering was convincing in his argument that cities, and sub- urbs of the future will solve high- way safety problems that now per- plex us. He does not, however, at- tempt to guess how airplanes will affect, the solution.
He said that by 1960, roads must be provided for 50 per cent. more vehicles than now are registered. In the decade preceding 1929 the num- ber of motor vehicles increased 250 per cent. The population movement appeara to be away from large cities.
Mr. Kettering holds that traffic con- —
gestion and parking problems will quicken this movement; that “rib- bon” cities may develop an almost continuous urban life on both -sides of a trunk highway; that men may live in the country 50 miles from their work and commute on high- speed trunk highways; that cities of the future may require webs of ele- vated and underground roads to
carry the heavier traffic; that many ©
miles of highways between populous communities will be lighted economic- ally and-other means used to reduce hazards of night driving.
Highways programs must be drawn up in anticipation of a steady in- crease tn motor bus traffic, and an increasing use of trailers will hasten
the widening of highways and bridges -
and provision of better parking facil- ities for family treks. . .

Seagram Gold’ Cup
International Golf Match At Toronto September 7
Preparations are almost completed for the first international team match between the Professional Golfers’ As- sociations of the United States and Canada. This will be played at the St. Andrew’s Club, Toronto, on Tues- day, September 7, and will be almost similar to the Ryder cup matches between the United’ States and Great Britain. The latter is decided by four foursomes and eight singles, each over 36 holes, while the U.S.- Canada match will be decided in one day There will be ten singles and five four-ball matches.
The U.S. has already won one in- ternational team match this year, de- feating Great Britain in the Ryder cup, at Southport, England, and there will be but one or two changes in that team. In all probability a couple of foreign-born pros will be added to the U.S. Ryder cup team,
The Canadian P.G.A. has decided that the first five players in the Canadian professional championship will be invited to be members of the team. This championship will be de- cided at the Ottawa Hunt Club over the 72 hole route during the third week in August. The other five places will be filled by players selected on their performances in other competi- tions during this and past seasons.
It will be seen that both the United States and Canada will be represent- ed by their strongest possible teams, and therefore, the field for the Cana-

ARTICLE No. 5 EARLY SIGNS OF CANCER
There is nothing so important to the man or woman of 35 years and over, as a knowledge of the early signs of cancer. Such knowledge is readily acquired by the average per- son of intelligence. What are the early signs of cancer?
Pain is not an early sign of cancer. It is a great pity that all beginning cancers had not the pain of an ach- ing tooth. In such case the pain would drive the person to seek ad- vice. The early signs of cancer may be grouped under the heads of: lumps, bleedings, persistent sores, hoarseness of a chronic nature, diffi- culty in swallowing, change of regu- lar habits in respect to digestion or movement of the bowels.
A familiar example of a lump that may be a cancer is one appearing in the breast of a woman. Such a lump should be discovered by the woman herself when it is the size of a pea. Often the woman does find the lump at this stage, but- through modesty, fear or for some reason, she says nothing about it until the lump is as large as a walnut or until other lumps appear under the arm-pit.
Irregular bleedings may appear from any of the crifices of the body. Especially significant are bleedings occurring -in woman a year or more following the menopause. Persistent sores are frequently seen on face and hands, on the lips, on the tongue, in- side the mouth or throat. They are manifested in black or yellow scales on the faces. of elderly men and women; they occasionally appear in the character of an over-head wound, in what is called a keloid. Not all of them are cancers; in some cases they are pre-cancerous conditfons. They are plain to be seen. All of us who-are observant, see~these early signs every day of our lives. Chronic hoarseness is usually due to syphilis, tuberculosis or cancer of the larynx. Difficulty in swallowing frequently means cancer of the oesophagus or swallowing tube.
The person who previously has had excellent digestion and begins to have dyspepsia, or the chronic suf- ferer from indgestion who shows a marked change of habit in this con- dition, may have early cancer. Simi- larly the persons who becomes con- stipated after a life of regular bowel habits or who becomes the subject of diarrhoea, may have cancer of the bowel as a cause. All these early signs of cancer merit and should have the closest investigation.

Takes Outstanding Pictures
Kansas Girl Spends Weeks Getting Shot Of Wild Duck
Though a hopeless shot with a gun, and faced with conditions that would daunt the hardiest duck hunter, vivacious Lorene Squire, official photographer for the American Wild Life Institute, thinks nothing of spending three weeks in a soggy) marsh waiting for one good camera “shot” of a wild duck.
Tanned to a deep bronze by a month's outing in northern Saskat- chewan, where she obtained many bird life photos, Miss Squire recently passed through Winnipeg on her way to northern Manitoba marsh areas.
“It has always been my ambition to come to Canada to see the ducks in their nesting grounds. Now I have, and have some good pictures} of baby ducks swimming about on the water,” Miss Squire said. |
Her career -as a photographer | started ten years ago in Kansas when she went duck hunting with her | father and mother. ‘I was pretty terrible with a gun, so I began shoot-| ing with a camera.’ The result has| been a series of outstanding pictures of wild life on the wing.
‘It's hard work,” said the young Kansan. “About only five out of a hundred pictures are successful. I spend days in the darkroom getting the effect I want.” She uses a two miniature reflex with 15 centimetre telephoto lenses.
The young girl, a graduate of Kansas University, came to Canada as the result of communications with the officers of the Alberta, Saskat- chewan and Manitoba Game and Fish Associations. She intended to spend about a month in Manitoba before travelling westward again to the Fort Chipewayan area.

THE CANADIAN ADVENTURE TRIP OF BOB SIM, AN
ONTARIO FARM BOY No. 8 of a Series of 16 Letters
Has three male companions and is travelling by car again! Experiences a storm at Thunder Bay which ruins their breakfast; visit Callander and beat Daddy Dionne out of three auto- graphs; see the mines in the North and marvel at the activity. On, and on, Bob and his companions go. Are you travelling with him? Follow these stories and see what he thinks of our country.
North Shore of Lake Superior, (Special Despatch by Bob Sim).— Here we are, four automobile voy- ageurs, perched on the edge of this greatest of all lakes, by name Super- ior. Last night we drove till dark then pulled into this cove. Deep down in a rocky gorge the dark waters of some nameless river poured with violence from the foot of a thirty- foot cascade into this great blue in- land sea. We climbed down the rocks to the water’s edge, cooked supper and made camp for the night. We went to sleep in the deep woods with a feeling of exultation, with the sound of tumbling water in our ears. At four in the morning we awoke al- most in terror with the sound of a multitude of mosquitoes in our ears. It was a fine contrast of Beauty and the Beast. We cooked breakfast: a gallon of porridge, eight eggs, and coffee, with the angry beasts about us. Then one of those sudden violent storms that gives Thunder Bay its name, descended upon us, without warning, to soak our beds and break- fast, reminding us of Newboldt’s lines:
“Sure if misery man could vex, “There it beat on our bended necks.”
The Trip So Far
from Toronto we went to King- ston, then to Ottawa, following the Ottawa River up to Petawawa to strike west from there to North Bay. This is the historic route followed by Canadian voyageurs as they paddled their great freight canoes, laden with pemmican, from Montreal to the heart of the continent. When we reached ‘Fort William we will rejoin the route and follow it to Winnipeg. At Callander we visited the quintup- lets. At Sudbury we spent some time visiting the mines and smelters. We saw logs turned into ngwsprint at Sault Ste. Marie, and crossed over to the United States which was neces- sary as the trans-Canada Highway is not. completed on the north shore of Lake Superior. From Duluth we came back to Canada striking the trans-Canada Highway at Fort Wil- liam and Port Arthur. Then its westward ho, and it’s to the mighty west we're bound.
A Glimpse At Quintland
Callander three years ago slept on the east shore of Lake Nipissing. A sawmill, a station, a filling station, a church or two, and a quiet, efficient little country doctor, Then the quin- tuplets came and this little grey headed doctor saved their lives. To- day Callander, home of the world’s most famous babies, is tthe world’s most famous village: It has several filling stations with special rates for five gallons of gasoline, a thriving hotel, and a number of tourist homes. Visitors have their pictures taken in front of the white picket fence of the babies’ doctor. A few miles east | of Callander there lived a French community, on poor sour land with gaunt, miserable buildings. To-day a broad highway runs to the door step of the Dionne home around which has grown a very healthy mushroom, This mushroom includes the Dafoe hospital,..with a special gallery where visitors may see the babies but not be seen. A five-acre field provides parking space; a boy sells lucky pebbles from the Dionne farm, another lad collects ‘twenty- five cents from those vPno want their pictures taken in his ox cart; Daddy Dionne has a store, forty by fifty in size, and busy as a land office. Daddy himself, once a French-Canadian farmer two jumps ahead of the wolf, sits in a curtained room and collects twenty-five cents for his autograph. We fooled -him by using carbon paper in our album, getting four signatures for the price of one, Daddy is as well groomed and tailor- ed as a Montreal financier and ap- pears to have no worries. His farm grows mustard and weak hay. He now cultivates a more productive soil—-human __ gullibility. Barnum said: “One is born every minute”, and he was right, for they seemed to be all at Callander.
What about the babies, you say? Well, I am but a mere man, They were just five healthy, energetic, beautiful little girls, all identical, all charming, all very wealthy. Do you know a fairy story more preposter- ous, more grotesque, more absorbing, than the story of these five little French-Canadian ladies who stole the heart of the world?
Im glad I went.
The North Land
The North of Ontario is so vast that in comparison the South shrinks to a cluster of villages. Railroad and highway cut across it here and there like strokes of a knife on an immense batter. There is a mark here and there, a slight dent on a vast stretch of rock and forest: It is also a rich land. Bare little villages grow up ‘here and there as men go
about the business of cutting timber and extracting metal from the hills, The village may die, sinking back in- to the solitude of the North. It may
w into a great ugly growing town ike Sudbury.
At Sudbury, we visited the mines, and the smelting plant. We did not go underground but we saw the smelting operations. Nickel, very much in demand to-day, is the chief product of the mines. Wages are high, men are being hired every day, money is plentiful. Yet it looks like a slum, compared to Annapolis Royal in Nova Scotia. In an area of about twenty acres five thousand people are crowded, often a whole family crowded into one room. Children play in the street, the library would be small for a village. But it is grow-
‘ing at the rate of three thousand a
year, and houses are as scarce as trees in China. Some day it will mature, acquiring libraries and play- grounds; to-day it is a real mining town. On To Winnipeg
At Winnipeg we will get our first mail since leaving home. We will get our shirts washed, have a bath, sleep in a clean bed, then strike west.
On and on our auto goes,
And where we'll land nobody
knows.

Explanations And Comments
The Preface to the Commandments, Exodus 20:1, 2. God spake all these words, saying. We call “these words” The Ten Commandments, or Deca- logue (from the two Greek words “deka’, ten, and “logos’, word). The Israelites had already attained to a knowledge of these religious and moral principles—they knew that they should not worship idols and should not kill—but here at Sinai they learned that these principles were from God.
Exodus 20:1. And God’ spake all these words, saying,
2I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out”of the house of bondafe.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven imuge, nor any. likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 thou shalt not bow down’ thyself un- to them, nor serve them; for I Je- hovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 6 and showing lovingkindness un- to thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Je- hovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God; in it thou sha't not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11. for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hal- lowed it.
12 Honor thy father and _ thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultry.
15 Thou shalt not steal,
16 Thou shalt not bear false wit- ness against thy neighbor.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neigh- bor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.
Some Compensation
Archbishop Of Canterbury Receivea Kind Letter From Old Lady
An explanation for the popular conception he had “fumbled” the crown during the coronation cere- mony was made by the Archbishop of Canterbury at a banquet of the Society of Knights Bachelor.
The Archbishop declared: “I could make a most sincere apology for that performance, but it brought some compensation in the form of a letter from an old lady who said, ‘the most beautiful thing in the coronation was to see the dear Archbishop blessing the four corners of the crown before he put it on the King’s head.”

WOULD UTILIZE BANKING SYSTEM FOR SOCIAL CREDIT
Edmonton, Alta.—The Aberhart government laid legislation before the Alberta house designed to utilize the existing banking system to pro- vide Social Credit.
The first step, revealed by Provin- cial Treasurer Solon Low as he in- troduced two bills, will be to license all bankers in Alberta. A deadline of two weeks from assent to the leg- islation will be set for obtaining such licenses.
Another bill, also sponsored by ‘the provincial treasurer, was designed to close the courts of Alberta to all bankers who refused to take out lic- enses in the province. It stipulated that any unlicensed banker should not “be capable of bringing, main- taining or defending any action in any court of civil jurisdiction in the province which has for its object the enforcement of any claim either in law or equity.” :
Then, starting with the Social Credit government’s own two per cent. sales tax, taxation in Alberta will be abolished and the govern- ment’s revenues replaced by contri- butions of ‘credit from the banks. That is the gist of Mr. Low’s re- marks to the house, when he an- nounced the sales tax would end September 1.
Significant phrase from a written statement read by Mr. Low was: “whether .the banks furnish the money willingly or otherwise, it will cost them nothing.”
Mr. Low said his proposals were based on “the technique of Douglas social dynamics.” Tax remission was the first step to the issue of a dividend, ‘A tax is a dividend in re- verse.”
Premier Aberhart also made a statement, saying: “The govern- ment’s legislation will in no way rob the banks of anything whatever, nor can it possibly interfere with the way in which they order their business.” There should be no anxiety on the part of any one, he said, ‘our whole purpose is to arrange that, if the people desire things which they can produce, or obtain by exchange, then they shall be able to secure and en- joy them.”
The first bill introduced by Mr. Low, entitled “an act to provide for the regulation of the monetization of the credit of the province of Al- berta,” provides mainly for control of bankers by licensing. It is bill No. 6 of the special session now sit- ting. It does not indicate that the purpose of controlling bankers is to force them to supply credit on the demand of the government, or its agency the Social Credit board. That purpose was revealed only in Mr. Low’s remarks announcing the pro- gressive abolition of taxation.
Bill No, 6 outlines an arrangement for establishing a local directorate of five members over every operating bank branch in Alberta. The effect of this would be to sever banks oper- ating in the province from head office policy.
The limitations of the British North America Act, which vested jurisdiction over banks with the fed- eral parliament, is presumably over- come by the new Social Credit legis- lation by directing control at “bank- ers,” rather than “banks.” Through- out, bill No. 6 uses the term “bank- ers,”’ though it is defined as meaning either a person or corporation,

B.C. Mine Accident Seventeen Men Injured When Hoist Drops 400 Feet
Princeton, B.C.—Seventeen injured men, broken and bruised when a hoist cage plunged 400 feet to the bottom of a shaft at Copper Moun- tain mine, were brought into Prince- ton on. a work train.
Two men suffered broken backs and others were less seriously hurt when the cage, taking the men out at the end of their shift, fell to the mine bottom,
Mike Cvetkovich, of Princeton, was not expected to live. His back was fractured and he suffered severe leg injuries.
Harold Hart of Anyox, B.C., also with a broken back and leg injuriés, was expected to recover, although his condition was described as “serious” at Princeton hospital.
Three others had leg fractures while the rest were less seriously hurt.
Archie McLean of Anyox, who suf- fered a compound fracture of the left leg, described the accident as “an awful mess.”
It was 10 minutes after the cage fell before the rescue squad, headed by Tom Waterland, mine safety en- gineer, extricated them, McLean said.
A. 8. Baillie, vice-president and general manager of the Granby Con- solidated Mining and Smelting Com- pany, operators of the mine, said he understood a crystallized bolt caused the accident.
The mine, with a capacity produc- tion of 3,000 tons daily, had been re- opened last June 1 after lying idle for seven years.
J. Biggs, British Columbia resident mine inspector, said preliminary in- vestigation showed the cage dropped “about 400 feet’ in the 800-foot shaft.
He attributed the fall to a broken bolt in the hoist-house.
“The cable didn’t break,” he said. “The cable remained attached to the cage but the braces failed to hold.”
This, he said, broke the force of the fall,
Biggs said the machinery in the hoist shaft was “in first class con- dition.”
Ruthless Warfare
American Writer Gives Some Side- lights On Chinese Situation
Peiping.—An American writer and his wife reached Peiping from a Buddhist temple refuge with a story of ruthless warfare.
Mr. and Mrs. Gene Lamb, of Wash- ington, had been isolated in the temple, northwest of Peiping, since
‘the outbreak of Chinese-Japanese
hostilities in the area. ‘ Lamb said: ‘
“A Japanese motorized brigade came in from Manchoukuo. They had hundreds of tanks. They went through the Chinese troops like a scythe through wheat.
“We saw them bombard Hsiyuan,
but they didn’t stop with that. Their aeroplanes zoomed over, spitting machine-gun bullets at helpless Chin- ese there and in nearby villages. . “Saturday, Japanese troops invad- ed my compound. The American flag was flying over it, but they paid no attention to that.
“They took our food and anything they thought might be valuable, in- cluding $300 mex.”

To Stop Court Tests
Bill Is Introduced In Alberta Legis- lature
Edmonton.—An attempt to stop court tests of Alberta legislation was made when Attorney-General John Hugill introduced a bill in th provincial legislature. :
The bill, one of the most far-reach- ing in Canadian history, would re- quire the permission of the Alberta government if the constitutionality of any law was attacked in a court. It applies, of course, only to the courts of Alberta and woyld not stop a test case in the siajetoney colar’ of Can- ada,

Western Crop Report | QUEBEC LABOR —
Harvesting Becoming General In Prairie Provinces
Ottawa. — Crops are maturing rapidly over the prairies and with harvesting already started the 1937 season will probably equal the record for earliness established a year ago, said a crop report issued by the Do- minion bureau of statistics.
No material change is apparent in the general situation from last week, the report stated.
Heavy rains have caused consider- able lodging of grain in southern Manitoba. Except for late fields, rust will not seriously affect the wheat crop in that province since the infection developed too late to cause much damage.
“The outturn for the province is expected to be above average,” the report said.
Some further deterioration has oc- curred in crops in northeastern Sas- katchewan as a result of continued dry weather while in the northwest- ern corner, recent rains have stimu- lated late crops and improved feed prospects. At best, wheat yields in the province will be low with a great part of the acreage yielding nothing but feed.
Crops are maturing rapidly in Al- berta where July rains replenished failing moisture reserves and gave new life to crops which showed little promise beforehand. While yields will be below average, fairly good commercial crops are in prospect over much of the province.
Hail has caused losses at a num- ber of points in the three provinces and while serious in localized areas, the damage on the whole has not been unduly heavy. Grasshoppers, army worms and wheat stem saw- flies have all taken toll of crops with a possibility of the latter doing con- siderable damage in southern and east-central Alberta.
With harvesting fairly general throughout the province, Manitoba crops will soon be beyond danger of further menace from rust, insect pests, or inclement weather condi- tions.

TROUBLES AFFECT STEEL WORKERS
Montreal.—As violence flared again in Quebec’s six-city textile strike, labor trouble sent more than 1,000 men on a walkout in another of the province’s industries—the steel plants of Sorel,
The steel workers, an estimated 1,200 members of the National Cath- olic Syndicate of Steel Workers, sud- denly left their work benches in five Sorel plants at the call of union officers who travelled from mill to mill with news of the strike.
A union official said the steel strike had been called because of dissatisfaction with wage schedules fixed recently by the board of arbi- tration.
It was the third strike in scarcely more than two months. the pre- vious two, involving 800 in four of the plants, the union fought for and gained recognition and the right to arbitration over wage questions.
The Sorel walkout was quiet. The day’s disturbance on the Quebec labor front broke at Drummondville, where a crowd of textile. strikers stoned H. F. Nicholson, Dominion Textile Company’s mill manager there, and dragged him from his car to be searched for weapons as _ he was driving out of the strikebound plant.
Thought cut by flying glass from the smashed windshield of his auto- mobile, Nicholson was not seriously hurt. He was released after being searched. *
In Montreal, 20 policemen stood guard at Dominion Textile’s Notre Dame street warehouse while 125,- 000 pounds of finished goods were taken out for delivery, but the strik- ers made no attempt to interfere with the operation.

A Story of the Irish on the Canadian Countryside
By PATRICK SLATER
By arrangement with Thomas Allen, Publisher, Toronto.
CHAPTER IX.—Continued
“Oh, it means,” said I, “they think all us Catholics should be hanged. The ladder is the step up to a gal- lows, and the rope has a noose at the end of it.”
The child felt quite distressed. We both knéw all about the hanging business.
“But what have you dpne wrong, Paddy ?’’ she asked me.
“Oh, don’t worry,” said I, “we're all poor miserable sinners.”
“Well, Paddy,’ she advised me, “I do wish you would get converted, and be saved, and join our church.”
“Have you been converted your- self?’ I asked her.
“No,” she told me, “I have tried and tried, Paddy—but it won’t take!”
“Sure,” I said, “I know you are no converted, or you wouldn’t be’ pinch- ing peppermint drops on your Aunt Letitia.” « -
“But you won't tell?”
“No,” said I, ‘“mum’s the word!”
Another visitor we had shortly afterward was a stylish young belle from Markham Township, On the first Sunday afternoon after her arrival, three young gentlemen of the neighborhood strolled up separ- ately to the Marshall house. Curi- ously enough, they had all suddenly been struck with the notion, at church that’ morning, of seeing how our crops were getting along. They were all invited in, of course, and in- troduced to Miss Matilda Lea. Why is it, I wonder, that a self-conscious young lady, on such an occasion, gives vent to so much girlish laugh- ter—unless it be to show her teeth? The gathering became quite dull and formal, as might be expected.
The guinea hens, those noisy har- bingers of company coming, set up their infernal, peevish chatter of “buck wheat! buck wheat!”
Betty went to the door to look out,
“Here,” she exclaimed, turning to address the company, “is Johnson Potter up the lane. I suppose he is coming, too, to see how our crops are!”
I mention such trifling things as the visit of this marriagable girl to the Mono farm because the only theme I have in this simple narrative is the homely and commonplace in the lives of pioneer Irish folk on the Ontario countryside. And a poor job it is! If I were able, I would make it as clear cut as the toll of their dinner bell, and as transparent as a sheet of polished glass. They are all dead and forgotten; but such sim- ple, natural, wholesome lives make the history of the country where their bodies lie, God bless them! They are all off on the way of truth now. .
By his more aggressive tactics, Potter won out in that afternoon contest, He got his spoke in first; and, yes, Miss Matilda would be charmed to go for a buggy ride with

Mr. Potter the very next evening— d.v. as to the weather. The result, in brief, was that Potter not only had a good many meals at the Marshall table, where he proved a capital trencherman, but he got a wife who made good meals ready for him for the rest of his life. f
Young Betty was simply fascinat- ed with Miss Matilda's charming ways. Straightaway the child was primping about with her head tilted to one side. She was giggling jnces- santly without any apparent cause, and showing her teeth. The young- ster was actually drifting around in a@ day dream; and her dream, of course, was that she was the beauti- ful Miss Matilda Lea. When I noticed the young actress was get- ting picky and fastidious about her victuals, I made it my business to open my mind to her on the side.
“Cut it out, Betty,” I told her, “we all know you have a stomach!”
“Well,” she said, ‘Matilda doesn’t eat much.”
“No,” I replied, “not while Potter is around; but did you ever notice how she gorges herself in the back- kitchen?”
Next spring’s . plowing time, the
yellow, wide-boarded floor of the kit- chen became Betty’s constant care. At all hours, I would find the skinny youngster on her knees, scrubbing the great expanse and giving it the dickens. And she was strongly of the opinion, seemingly, that it was my dirty boots that made most of this scrubbing necessary. For some unaccountable. reason, she did not notice the tracks Bob and the chil- dren made, or the mud her father and the other men trailed about as they shuffled across the floor for their meals. But if she spied any dirt on my boots, there was a riot immediately.
“Just look at the dirt on Paddy’s feet, Ma!’ she would exclaim in des- pair, as she brushed a wisp of stray hair back into place from her sweaty forehead. ‘Do I have to scrub this floor again for that dirty clodhop- ‘per?”
“Please pass me a bite to. eat in the shed,” I would say to Mrs. Mar- shall, “It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman in a wide house!” * “But he doesn’t seem to care, Ma, how much work he makes me!”
And she had the pinch of the argu- ment on me; because from the time she was seven, Betty had always darned my socks for me, and seen to ft that they patched up my elothes and kept my things shipshape.
“Well; Betty,” I said to her at last, “you’d better make me carpet slip- pers; and, by the grace of God, I'll never touch your dirty old floor with- out them,”
And the result was she made me an awkward-looking pair, which caused a lot of hilarity in the house- hold. And I kept my promise—but only in muddy weather.
But the carpet slippers only served to transfer the scene of hostilities from the yellow floor to the bench by the back kitchen door. All my life long I have had trouble with my feet in warm weather. So in the eve- nings that summer, I made a prac- tice of soaking them very carefully and deliberately in a bucket of rain- water and soft soap. And I found a comfortable place to do this was by the bench at the back kitchen door. But young Betty was raising morn- ing glories and wild cucumber vine along the wall; and she complained of the slop I made, and declared the caustic in it hurted her flowers. Where the hired man is to wash his feet has always been one of the weighty problems in Ontario agricul- ture. Betty insisted that I do it else- where. I held to the opinion my feet should be washed close to the rain barrel,
These great issues were joined and went down to trial one summer's evening. Betty's temper had got quite the better of her and she was tongue-thrashing me in an out- rageous manner, I slushed the soapy water in her direction, which sent her screaming round the corner of the house. I put a dipper of fresh water in my foot bath; and, as she returned to the fray, I wiggled my toes at her. She promptly let a

For ourselves though they in- vent a super rocket and sults to navi- gate’ the airless ether, it could never tempt us to leave good old terra firma.—Halifax Chronicle,
“Now, look what you've done!” I declared. “You'd murder me, would you, you little she-devil;” and I tipped out the colored water to show her the great quantity of blood I was losing.
“Oh! Paddy,” the child exclaimed, “I didn’t mean to hurt you so real bad as that.”
“Well, look what you've done,’ I warned her. ‘You've killed me en- tirely.”’
And the next moment, I had a curious mixture of tears, and tow- head, and bleeding foot on’ my hands. P
“Oh! Paddy, I’m very sorry,” the youngster sobbed, “because I love you so!”
“You show it, don’t you?” said I, “murdering me in cold blood.”
“Oh! Paddy, dear,” she told me, “I didn’t really mean to hurt you, be- cause when I grow up, and have long skirts, I’m going to-marry you, Paddy, and have babies for you.”
“Oh, no, you’re not!” said I.
“Ladies with long skirts have babies for their husbands,” she in- formed me,
“Yes!” says I, them,’
“Well,” she pondered, ‘‘couldn’t He send me a nice red-headed one for you, Paddy?”
“Well,” said I, with a mournful sigh, “it’s a dead man I'll be by the morning, Betty; and when you grow up to be a big miss, it’s Peg-top Carson youll have to be marrying. Go, please,’ I asked her, “and get your ma to give me a piece of white rag.”
Sarah Duncan bandaged my foot up in smart order.
“Paddy,” the young person remark- ed, “you can wash your dirty old feet here, if you want to.’'
“No, Betty,” said I, “to keep peace in the family, I'll wash them over by the well where the drinking water comes from.”
And I heeled it upstairs to keep from bloodying the steps.
Hours later, Betty called up to me: “Yally, yally you who! Paddy, are you all right?” “Fie
“Sure,” said I, “I’m fine.”
“Has it quit bleeding, Paddy?”
“but God sends
“Sure,” said I, “it’s caulked up as
tight as the: inside ofid boat.”
“Sleep tight,” she rhollered, “and don’t let the bugs bite!’
The morning after, Betty was not even ‘enough interested in the over- night occurrence to ask me how my foot was doing; and henceforward, she treated me with an indifferent civility that gave no occasion for quarrels and scoldings. I was left to shift strictly for myself in the matter of keepng holes out of my socks and losing my mitts in winter time. A lad of the hobbledehoy age is usually sensitive; and my feelings were deeply hurt by this turn of events. I suppose the child had been given a good scolding after the cut- ting of my foot, and strict orders to and, as one
Betty may have felt a grudge
against me because of her troubles.
At the time, however, I knew I had
done nothing to offend the child, and I thought she was following family
instructions to put a no-account fel-
low like me in his proper place. Yet,
I didn’t let on. (To Be Continued)

A two-room school will, of course, receive double this amount.
High schools and_ continuation schools, under the new schedule, will benefit to the extent of $100 per year per room,
The legislature also appropriated $200,000 for loans to school districts | for the purpose of reducing the arrears of teachers’ salaries incurred prior to January 1, 1935.

When you pay the tax you may feel certain that the amount paid will be used and used only for that purpose.
“Insofar as relief recipients are concerned, it will not be possible to make provision for the tax to be added to August relief orders, but for the new -<elief year commencing September ist, relief schedules, irrespective of what may otherwise be done in connection with relief in- creases, will make provision for the Education Tax on the portion of re- lief purchases which are taxable.

The Legislature, however, at the last session decided that “the needs of education warranted the im- position of a new tax, earmarked for educational purposes.” This provided the opportunity for the government to increase the grants as stated.
“The entire proceeds. of this tax will be placed in a separate bank ac- count and will be used exclusively for education services.”

by local taxes levied against real estate supplemented by government grants. Ever since the present gov- ernment took office it has had as one of its first objectives the restoration of school grants to the figure they| were prior to 1932. This would en- able schools to remain open in the crop failure districts where tax col- lections are almost nil and would permit of a general reduction in local tax levies for school purposes. With continued crop failures the finances of the province would not permit any increase of school grants and at the last session of the Legislature it was decided that the needs of education warranted the imposition of a new tax, earmarked for educational ser- vices, which would provide funds for increased grants. At the session the School Grants Act was amended in- creasing school grants as from July 1st and The Education Tax Act was
to come into force on pro- clamation, This provision was in- cluded in the act to give the Gov- ernment an opportunity of making a full study of administration ‘methods and to set up the necessary machin- ery for the collection of the tax with the minimum of difficulty.
“Since the close of the session an exhaustive study has been made of the operation of a similar tax in the Province of Alberta and a number of the states of the Union, the ad- ministrative methods followed in these places have been analyzed and from the information thus secured regulations have been drafted and the organization for the operation of the act has been decided upon.
