NEWS PARADE... ENOUGH FOR ALL: Thanks to Uie methods employed by Ilerr Hitler, millions of dollars bave been pouring Into Canada in the past few months to the extent of $50,- 000,000 or )CO,000,000. It is capital from Europe. Despite an organized QUtcry of local industrialists against the admission of new industries or new branches of industries already established in Canada, it is indicat- ed in despatches from Ottawa that the Department of Immigration has leen quite reasonable in its atti- tude toward European Imlustrial leaders who have been driven to in- fest their capital and brains be- yond the war-worried countries. And why shouldn't we be reas- onable! Kew capital, new manu- factnrtns and new brains will create new employment and should be encouraged. Not only will a. inaDufacturing boom create work fur hundreds of artisans who are unemployed at present, but it will result in a great consumption of raw materials. It is truly a good tbins for Canada. ANGLO-POLISH FLARE-UP: Just when we thought affairs between Britain and Poland were being iron- ed out, while General Sir Edmund Ironside conferred at Warsaw with Polish Military leaders on co-ordin>- ation of the British, French and Polish forces, an Anglo-Polish money quarrel flared up in L.on- don. It concerned where and how the $25,000,000 British loan to the Poles was to be spent. The British insist that Britain's manufacturers must reap the benefits but the Poles want a free hand to buy equipment and machinery where they like, even in the United Slates. OUR HERITAGE: For the first five nioDths of this year Canada was third among the gold producing countries of the world. It is a challenge to the imagin- ation to try and forecast the metal wealth which remains to be taken cut of he ground in the Dominion. There has been a remarkable in- crease in recent years in the min- ing industry and today it is one of the biggest props of (he whole Can- adian economy. Where forests stood not so long ago we see new^ modern commun- ities; we see wages, purchase of supplies, production and transpor- tation. What will the conditions be 26 or 60 years from now? The Can- adian youth of the day has a great faeritase! THE TROUBLES OF THE WORLD: We heard about a visi- tor in Italy who related an illum- inating incident of his holiday. It was about a visit he made to a famous shrine in the mountains not tar from Rome. He was just going to sign his name in the visitor's book, when he noticed that the last signature was Hermann Goering. "So Goering's been here," be said to the priest. "Yes, he ca'-ie here." "Did he say anything?" "Yes, he said that this place was so lonely and remote from the troubles of the world that he would like to stay here forever." Without another word Ihu priest bowed and withdrew. To inaug:urate a new service, South Africans were allowed to •end a free 12-word social tele- gram to anywhere in the British Empire, with a few exceptions, on Ui« first day. In the twenty-five years since It built the ^tkiol bttildinc: alt Fort Moresby, Papua, reserved for nUte priaonera, has had only two •ccnpanta â€" the test more than ««â-  yean ago. Archbishop of Quebec Inspects Quebec Exhibit at New York Fair Right-Of-Way Is Dead Letter Revision of Traffic Laws Urg- ed by Head of Motor League Ninety per cent of highway acci- dent prevention depends on greater care being taken by the motorist, W. Gilbert Robertson, general man- ager of the Ontario Motor League declared recently. The chief cause of bad collisions was the drivers' tendency to forget to slop at stop streets after "zoom- ing at a high spee<l" through less Important thoroughfares. Not Properly Obeyed Anyway "The righ-ol-way is a dead let- ter and should be removed from the statute books," he said. "This se<;- tion of the Highway Traffic Act Is not properly obeyed by any mo- torist and should be made to con- form with actual motoring condi- tions. "Thla means legally that any driver coming up to a through highway can dart through the traf- fic after he has stopped. The law flbould not give him the right-of- way over the driver travelling on the through street." On hi.s v.ay home from France, where he offVciated in various ceremonies. His Eminence, Cardinal Rodrij^ue Villeneuve, archbishop of Quebec, and primate of the Roman Catholic church in Canada, finds much to interest him as he inspects the Quebec exhibit at the world's fair in New "ifork. With him is His Grace Msgr. Vachon, rector of Laval University, Montreal. VOICE oF the PRESS CANADA'S CHANCE Canada is an attractive place to European industrialists at pres- ent because it is removed from the trouble centi-es, becauae it i.<i midway between European and Asiatic markets and because it has great stores of resources awaiting development. It is reported that industrialists with something' like no million dollars to invest are considering this country. That would make it appear all the more important to welcome the Bata shoe company. â€" Halifax Chron- icle. TURN THE DIAL Radio.s. left on late at night and allowed to blare out are not dem- onstrations of neighborliness. â€" Niagara Falls Review. PEDESTRIAN AND MOTORISTS Vancouver ha."5 embarked upon a second "Hundred Deathless Days" campaign. The first cain- paign ended after two days in a ttagedy. .A. pedestrian was killed by a motorist, and the coroner's jury which investigated the alTair decided that the pedestrian, not the motorist, was to blame. The unfortunate incident under- lines the truth that traffic safety depends not on motorists alone or on pedestrians alone but on the co-operation of all who use the streets and highv.ays. â€" Vancouver Province. BUT ARE THERE SUCH? A boy who wins a spelling- bee may grow up and become a busi- ness man who doesn't have to de- pend en his stono;-;rapher. â€" Ham- ilton Spectator. DEMOCRACY! There it is, just one word. But it is not a word; it is a concept of life. It is a concept that is root- ed, not in the mind alone, but in the heart of man. It is the differ- ence between men who stoop in subservience to a ruler from above, and men who walk straight and are thcmselve.s the rulers. It is the right for men and women to think and speak for themselves, to have faith in themselves and in each other, and to make known their wills without fear or indulg- ence. Democracy is i way of life for which men have always struggled and for which they will continue to struggle. â€" Toronto Star. BEAVER SEASON Ontario's Deputy Minister of Game and- Fisheries, D. J. "Jim" Taylor, reported recently that his department is well pleased with the results of the short sca.son on beaver this year. "We estimate between $100,000 to $150,000 was put into circulation throughout the north during the season," Mr. Taylor stated. Newest Police Methods Used R. C. M. P. Follow Technique of Studying How Criminals Operate Corporal John Timmerman of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police an- nounced here recently police iden- tification methods throughout Can- ada have been changed materially through adoption of an elaborate new system, the modus operandi system. Gives Clue To Identity Corp. Timmerman said the new system deals largely with the way criminals operate. Most criminals specialize and use a definite tech- nique in their crimes, which under this system of co-relating police in- formation would provide a clue to the criminal's identity when a crime is committeed in a certain way. The new system provided also for co-operation of police forces throughout the country, so that municipal, provincial and federal police can work in unison. Pruning Trees Requires Care Must Be Done Properly To In- sure Right Development The Duke of Windsor's private chauffeur for eighteen years, George Ladbrook, the same one who whizzed Mrs. Simpson across Prance immediately after the ab- dication, is now a doorman for a swank London night club. To insure proper development and vigorous growth of the tree, pruning must be carefully and properly done. All dead, bruised and broken roots are removed with It sharp knife or pruning shears. Clean cuts will heal rapidly, while ragged cuts heal slowly and may provide an entrance place for in- fection. The top of the tree is cut back to balance the root sys- tem; that is, enough of the bran- ches are cut back or entirely re- moved to compensate for the loss of roots when the tree was dug. Thus the loss of moisture by transpiration through the leaves is kept in proportion to the intake of n^oisture through the roots, pre- venting a too-rapid drying out of the top of the plant. The centre stem of the tree, known as the leader, is retained, but if the tree is too tall for the number of side branches it may be topped a lit- tle. From one-third to one-half of the length of the side branches is cut back. In pruning, it is kept in mind that the completed tree should present a pyramidial shape. A faultfinder is suie of recom- pense in kind. U. S. War Relic Viewed By R.C.M.P.

PREMIER FISHERMAN And speaking of the popularity of fishing, Ontario's active Pre- mier Mitchell Hepburn is quite an enthusiastic fisherman when poli- tics and government matters spare him the odd few moments. But recently the pressure of business forced the province's government leader to decline an invitation to go pickerel fishing on Lake Nipis- sing with a fishing party arranged by Hon. Harry C. Nixon, Ontario Games and Fisheries Minister. In- stead, Premier Hepburn angled with government problems while the others went fishing. The par- ty included: Leopold Macaulay (Con. York South) and his wife; Mrs. Nixon; Lionel Conacher (Lib, Toronto-Bracondale), former hoc- key star of the National Hockey League, and Mrs. Conacher. BIG HUNTING A huge bald eagle was seen fly- ing over Meaford, Ontario, the other day and so rare is this sight in this part of Canada that the whole Meaford Natural History Club turned out in goodly numbers to spend the week-end covering this Georgian Bay district to find if the large bird had decided to nest in these parte of Ontario. London Called Museum Piece London, in the view of Archi- tect Frank Lloyd Wright, is a mu- seum piece, and as a modern city is "not fit for human habitation." Mr. Wright designed Tokio's Imperial Hotel, only earthquake proof structure in the city in the 1923 disaster. Said Wright (in London last week) : "Your government is mak- ing plans to evacuate the city. Why not evacuate it for good? There is plenty of room on this green earth for everybody." "If statesmen cannot solve the problem at its source, civilization ir hardly worth saving. People should be allowed to live above earth â€" they will be under it soon enough." Wright said he liked London's green parks, hated sky-scrapers. But "in England I have found the greatest cultural lag outside of liussia and the L'nited States." Books And You BY ELIZABETH EEDY REACHING FOR THE STARS By Nora Wain One of the most enjoyable books which continues to enjoy great popularity Is this story of Miss Wain's four-year sojourn in Ger- many. From the time she motored across the Belgium border in June of 1934 with her English husband who was to study music In Ger- many, she devoted a great part ot her time in an- attempt to under- stand the German people and their country under Hitler's rule. Her strange eiperienets were man}- and when she left tho country four years later, it was with a wealth ot knowledge of tho people with whom she had associated for so inany months. She says that conditions exist everywhere which outlaw free<lom â€" mako unguarded speech impossible and throw ter- ror and horror across the daily lives of oppressor and o|iprcssed alike. "I wrote my book," says Misa Wain, "to make the world love- that Is, understandâ€" the German people â€" a people who, taking theil virtues with their vices, and their wisdom with their follies, are not more wicked or more stupid thaa the remainder ot mankind." A clock built by a famous BeU gian watchmaker has ninety-three dials, is sixteen feet in height, and weighs 4,500 lbs. German Customs officers have a daily "bag" of between forty and fifty people trying to smuggle things out of Germany.
