LORD BESSBOROUGH RECEIVES ONTARIO BOYS’ PREMIER The city of Vancouver last week re- ported a scarcity of one cent pieces, and rush orders for more are being filled at once. The deportation of American silver coins has been accelerated by the decline in the value of the Cana- dian dollar at New York. Canadian banks are making a tidy profit by gath- ering all the American coins circulat- ing in Canada and shipping them to the United mafiaâ€"Arthur Enterprise. One manufacturing establishment in Canada working at full capacity is the Royal Mint at Ottawa. Owing to the deportation of United States silver, nickel and bronze coins, there is a shortage of coins in Canada, and the mint is coining one cent pieces at the rate of 150,000 a day. Silver coins also are being turned out in large numbers Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

ROYAL MINT IS BUSY The accident is to be deplored and Durham citizens are anxiously awaiting further news from the sick beds of the injured ones. The bereaved family has the sincere sympathy of all residents in the tragic death of their daughter, June, and trust that the remaining members will quickly recover from the effects of their sad and trying exper- ience. Two Irishman were won: a class f Latest news from the bedside of the injured is that Mr. Elvidge. who is yet in a critical condition, is holding his own and hOpes are held for his recov- ery. . The daughter Barbara, and mother-in-law, Mrs. Durdle, for whom slight hopes were held, have also shown signs of improvement. and while noth- ing definite will be known for a few days, it is thought they, too, will re- cover. Mrs. Elvidge, and son of 18 months were apparently the least in- jured of the family, and will recover. Since admission to the hospital Mrs. Elvidge has given birth to a child, and reports state both are doing well. News of the accident was picked up here Sunday night by radio and Mr. and Mrs. Elvidge of this place were driven to London by Mr. Erben Schutz, where they took the radial to St. Thomas, and then caught the M.C.R. flyer to Windsor. “According to statements made to the police Taylor was driving east when a car in front of him stopped suddenly.

Let us take the individual, for instance. What an enormous influence for good would be let loose in our daily lives it we all resolved to be gentle and court- eous and‘ in the details of life in gener- al to maintain a persistent friendliness That is why I say parents need a sense of humor so that they can laugh at these follies of youth, instead of breaking their hearts over' them. For the only thing that ails the boys and girls is youth and that is something that time cures. Every day yon hear men calling their sons fools because they wear giddy sports clothes and step out at nights and are more interested in a football score than they are in the markets and drive their cars past the speed limit. What a pity that fathers can’t remember that they did all of these things when they were boys and yet they have settled down into being the pillars of the community. Or some other woman walls that her girls are boy crazy. Well. weren’t we all when we were their age? Can’t you remember when you thought you would die if Tommy Jones didn’t walk home with you, or didn’t ask you to have a dance at a party? Yet we all grew up into respectable women and acquired a phiIOSOphy of life and learned how to write the proper price tags_ on things. - _ ‘Il-_ A L‘- ‘1‘. floor and how you hated to wash dishes and make beds, and how your mother prophesied you would run some man crazy if you married him? And now you are a model housekeeper. Let vour girls alone and they'll learn to be tidy when they have homes of their “Good 'gracious.” exolaimed her friend. “Why vex yourself? All girls are like that. Don’t you remember how you used to hang your party dresses on the One mother told her friend that she had worn herself to skin and bone trying to teach her girls to be orderly and to do household chores and she couldn’t do it and that they scatter their things all over the plnee. _ The reason for this is that parents have relaxed. They worked out all their theories of child rearing on their first born and by the time the younger ones come along they have discovered that most of their ideas about how to rear children, infant phenomena. were all bunk. Nevertheless most mothers and fath- ers make a mistake in regarding their adolescent boys and girls too tragically and they shed many tears over things ythat they had better laugh off. It is a matter of common observation that parents are much more indulgent to their younger children than they were to their older ones. The younger ones can do and say things that the older ones would, not be permitted to do or say. Also there is a much greater comradeship between the youngerI children and their parents than is ever established between older children and their parents. Parents need a sense of humor and unfortunately most of them haven’t even a funny bone in their whole ana- tomy We know that rearing children is no merry jest. It is a serious and a heart-searching business, especially so in these days when the youngsters are given to taking every risky hurdle in their stride and knocking down all the bars of conventional behaviour. wnen sne nus nysverlcS". 80 we, as mothers. must train our boys as well as girls to have a sense of humor as ‘ well as other necessary qualifications. 'we find we can train ourselves to}; the humorous side of things. A young man wrote Dorothy Dix ask- ing her for ten qualifications that at awomantobeagoodwifeandher fourth qualification was a sense of humor. She says: “I should pick out a girl for her funny bone, because there are so many things in matrimony over which a woman must either laugh or cry and it is so much more pleasant when a wife grins over them than it is when she has hysterics”. 80 we. as can receive.

It is up to us to “consume his own smoke" as it were and if we be lucky enough to possess radiant personality it is also up to us to share and display happiness as much as ever we can. are signs, too', that native supplies of wheat in EurOpe will have to be supple- mented by larger imports before very long, and that Italy and France may be taking steps to allow of such in the near future. and self suppression if need be. 7 Whilst there is no indication at present of an immediate improvement in the export demand for Canadian wheat, particularly whilst shipments from the southern hemisphere are at their heaviest, it is encouraging to note that the export shipments to date in- dicate Canada is enjoying a good share of the world’s demand for wheat. There been negotiated between Germany and Russia by which Germany will accept shipments of wheat and rye from Rus- sia in exchange for machinery. This will have the effect of providing a market for much of the balance of Russia’s surplus and any future ship- ments will not have much influence upon the world’s markets. According to a dispatch from Fort William likelihood of stronger foreign demand for Canadian wheat before long is intimated in the report of the ;statistical branch of the Board of Grain Commissioners on the movement of Western Canadan grain for December. 1931. Russia has alxnost disappeared as an important factor for the pnesent. The large wheat crop of Alberta is; tending to throw a great deal of the present export movement to Vancouaer.
