But ta do this-toîl theso staries-would tako up <00 inuch space and tino. Suffice it ta say that it led General Critchley to propose that hoe and I should be joined ta a new kind o! capital- finding and management service in Great Britain. 'II can find you lots o! custorners" was Critchloy's assurance ta me,. and I believe firrnly that thoro was the possibil- ity o! a very profitable business for each o! us in tho proposod as- sociation. But alas and alas for one's dreains. Just about this turne a "wonder man" in London's and Britain's financial circles-named Hatry-confessed that hoe had been sianing against the British people. Hatry had specialized in municip- al securities, and, in a purpose to get money needed to holp hum get contrai o! Britain's steel industry, ho, had forged, twice over, a nuin- ber of, municipal bond issues. When tho lasses ta British invest- ors had been ascertained, thoy were found ta exceed £13%k mil- lions! The shock ta the confidence o! British investors wasso sud- don and complote <hat for a whole year it was almost futile ta seek new capital for any enterprise. The London stock exchango had suffered a deadly bioW froin which there was no récovery for quite a year. Sa tho proposed enterprise for Critchley and me had ta go ta sleep until conditions were 9tter. But before this tirno carne, I returned ta Canada, on tho invitation o! a friend, ta take editorial charge o! a particular type of business newspaper. JC K In the years since then-1929 and 1930-Critchley's connectian with variaus forins o! sport has widened. Always ho has remain- ed tho top figure la tho grey- hound racing world. Thon ho bo- came a prornoter of prize fights in Britain. Ho introduced pro- fossional ice hockey lata Britain. But my knowledge o! his doings and succosses, la <ho unrelated worlds of sport and finance and industrial entorpriso in the last ton years is reaily uninforined. It has latorestod me fliuch ta loarn <hat again ho la identified with military work in Britain-that his very special gonius and abîlities have had tho recognition and om- ployment o! the British military leaders. Along wi<h others I shal be looking for his namin a ur aewspapers, and my hope is that fresh and high honors will be his portion la these present trnes and la <ho post-war days.

VoiceofetThe People Dea r Editor,- Now that the work of dredging at Bowmanville Harbour is ended sorne o! us folks are wondering just what it was ahl about. The prai oct was made nocessary by the fact that the channel was be- consing too shallow for fishing boats ta navigate. The resuit, after three weeks o! digging, is that a huge pile o! sand has been thrown up east o! the pior. The channel. was deepened only haîf way across. 1< 'doos not take a qualified enginoor ta see that the work has been practicaliy useless as ta permanoncy. A few storms will have washed much o! tho sand back bo<weon the piors and by Spring, at latost, the chan- nol will be just about as badl as it was before. This goverament projec<, exe- cuted under <ho able direction o! W. C. Caverly, as inspector, cost a lot o! monoy, just how maay thousands we do not know, but t is certain that the cost o! the dredging is ail out o! proportion ta revenue to be gained froin it. Seriaus enough, tn peace turne this wasteful expenditure is practical- ly criminal la <ime o! war. But what's done, is dane. About the only <bing taxpayers can do about it is s00 that it doos not happen again. Wasteful dredging at Bowman- ville harbour has stood as a black mark rnahy turnes on the good re- cord o! local party goverrnent. It shoUld be stopped once and for* ail. Thanklag you for space in your valuablo paper ta express tho persnalvie ofA Landlubber.

On investigation I see there are saine bicycle racks provided but not nearly enough for overyone. It seoins ta me that the Board o! Education is overlooking sinaîl duties like this la <heir effort ta, spend large suais wisely. On the gamne occasion I no<iced a fountain at tho rear of the school which. is running constan<ly and cannat be turned of! and on.
