His name in many languages has long been linked with radio. At the age of 27 he succeeded in transmitting the first wireless mes- sage across the Atlantic Ocean. Later he developed the vacuum tube which made possible the transmission of the human voice; he developed long distance transmission via short wave. For his achievements he re- ceived virtually every scientic prize of note an-d was decorated by most of the governments of the world. lrnvnnvu: ....... 1.-.... -1. n_v,,,,, (Tickets also sold at : Patronize Home Industry Incorporated 1855 .. _ ---J --v -I VIII A71 .all adjacent C.N.R.

Having demonstrated that signals coul-d be sent for short dis- tances, he decided they could be sent greater distances. He oiferedl his invention to the Italiant govern- ment, but it was not interested. He then turned to England, and soon after he succeeded in spanning the! Atlantic Ocean. ; and an Anglo-Irish mother, Anna Jackson. At an early age he show- ed fondness for mathematics and science. When 21 he was con- vinced that electric waves existed - that an electrical impulse could be sent through the air and be re ceived at some distance point.

Occasionlly we hear of an exception. For in- stance, last week s St. Mary s Jour- nal-Argus commented on the an- nual meeings of two small country churches, Motherwell and Avonbank, which have no debt on the churches land have a balance on hand at the ' end of the year. The reason is that the families averaged $52 a year as ' their givings. 1 - This is not aimed at Fergus people- u ne writes an eaitoriai about it. If you belong to a church which publishes a list of its subscribers, you can prove for yourself that families who seem to have money enough for other things, don t. seem to feel any responsibility for keep- ing up the church. You will nd that more than one family of your acquaintance probably d-id not give more than $2.50 toward the upkeep of the building, the payment of the preacher salary, the heating, light- ing and other expenses, the music and the community activities. A much larger number probably paid less han $5.20, or ten cents a Sun- day for these purposes. They pay a quarter to see a game of almost any kind, and if the whole family attends, the total is several times that much, yet a nickel or a dime is the limit for the family on Sun- day. One would think that. an.y man who was a Christian would feel that it was worth at least a quarter a week to have the church kept alive in his community, not only for him- self but for his children. Yet If you think that a majority of church members give more than $13 a year for the upkeep of the church, you are probably due for a sad awaken- ing. } ;:?g$ 'l"li: ic nnf nimprl 9`: Fnvcruiz ~nrannlp- (Fergus News-Record) When somebody writes an article on the subject, Is Canada a Chris- tion Country ? or some such title, we don t bother reading it, because it is usually just an effort to at- tract attention. to a worthless bit 01 wriin-g. But after looking over the newspapers in the neighborhood dur- ing the last few weeks, and after reading several church reports, we're inclined to ask a somewhan similar question, though a more per- sonal one: Are Church Members `Christians ? At the same time, we realize that_ one cannot judge a man s Christianity by the amount he gives to the church, recalling the parable of the Widow s Mite. On .the other hand, when a fairly well- xed family gives an average of ve cents a Sunday to the upkeep of the church (as many families do) then there is something wrong, and a newspaper man may be forgiven if he writes an editorial about it.

If he passes one hundred cars on one journey, he may have imperilled a score or more of them. But cars pass in a ash, and the reckless, driver's identity is quite possibly undiscovered in that eeting mom ment. The tragic possibility is that he will conltinue to hurtle his car over public roads until he kills or maims somebody else. What does [the law do to prevent such occur-' `rences, or to reduce their stark pro-' 3 , portions ? Admittedly, public ; [officials are earnestly trying to per- j suade motorists to drive carefully,. `but as motor cars become more pop- ular and more numerous a higher proportion of adults are granted; drivers licenses despite the fact` [scientically established that only a limited percentage of people are; lqualied to drive safely.

The nearest approach to that which we know of is an educational effort of some car and ' oil manufacturers to put a driver uthrouigh tests whereby his reactions to theoretical emergencies are re- corded; but the showmanship atmo- sphere surrounding these tests rather discounts the good effect they might have. Nobody must be antagonized |_by them, nobody is to be penalized for making a poor showing. The campaign itself is commendable, but it falls short of accomplishing what is needed because there is no auth- Kapuskasing. 1 _-___:__:_ ority behind it.--Northern Tribune, I If satisfactory arrangements can` the made, thousads of cattle from .the drought-stricken areas of Sas- katchewan will be brought to On-7 tario. mu--- :,. ..1..,..._:.. --..~:J..,-v-, bi1.l'lUn There is already considerable; movement of cattle in an easterly` direction ad this year's bumper On-.1 tario feed crop lend themselves op-i portunely to increase of this system` ' and this will bring to Ontario lfarmers, more especially in the western section of the province,` `breeding, beef and dairy stock in; I huge numbers.
