Osnada its issue of Saturday last showing the twenty Cally newsâ€"l papers in Canada that are most quoted by their aries. The figures are supplied by the Dominion Press| Clipping Burealu, and are most interesting. For the three; months prior to Oct. 28th, 1930, The Toronto Globe led the list, being quoted no less than‘ 1416 times in that period.‘T ‘The second mostâ€"widely quoted newspaper in the period was ‘The Tcronto Mail and Empire, which was quoted 1,198 times.: ‘The third on the list was The Ottawa Journal, which was| quoted 1,127 times. For the period ending Feb. 6th, 1931, The Toronto Mail and Empire led the list with a record of being quoted 1,916 times, The Globe taking second placs, being quoted 1,751 times, The Toronto Star being third, and The Ottawa Journal fourth. On May l1th, 1931, the Buâ€" reau‘s figures for the preceding three months showed The: Mail and Empire still leading, The Globe second, and The Ottawa Journal in third place, with The Star relegated to fifth place in the list. The fact that a clipping bureau tabuâ€" lates figures of this sort is of much interest. It would be pleasing if similar figures were issued for weekly newspapers. ‘The Advance has noted that more than one newspaper in the North has claimed to be more widely quoted than any other weekly in the Province. If the Dominion Clipping Bureau issued figures for the weeklies as it does for the dailiss, it would, perhaps, be interesting to note how greatly the Bureau‘s figures would be considered as at variance with the opinions of some of the weekly newspapers that believe they are more widely quoted than they really are.

There are a few small industries esâ€" tablished in the North to supply home markets, but their output is naturally restricted. Anyone who can think of a new line of industry that could profitably be established here would be doing a great favour to the town and district by mentioning it, especially if he could add information as to where the necessary capital might be secured.

Jaffray, publisher of The Toronto Globe, to officially deny a report circulated to the effect that The Globe was considering the question of merging with another newspaper or group of newspapers. On the editorial page of The Globe Mr. Jaffray made it clear that The Globe is not considering and will not consider any proposition for sale or merger; that The Globe is to conâ€" tinue, free, independent and untramelled as a newspaper written by ladies and gentlemen for ladies and gentlemen of all ages. The whole report, Mr. Jaffray says, was without foundation in fact. Thus, news#®appears on the editorial page of The Globe, and it is very pleasing news to the tens of thousands of readers of The Globe. It is no reflection on any other newspaper to wish to preserve the identity and personality of The Toronto CGilobe. It occupies a unique place in the national life, and to merge it with any other journal, no matter how excellent the latter might be, would be viewed by the average Canadian as a genuine calamity to the people of this country. Clean, able, fearless, and with no causes to serve but those of right and justice and the advantage of the pecple in general, The Globe has won a high place among the newspapers of Canada. Even those who disagree with its views, admire and respect its honesty of purpose and its ability in service. British Canadians will be pleased indeed to know that The Globe is not considering mergers or other ways to tempt the loss of personality and power. The Globe is a good newspaper, in every sense of the word, and it is more: it is a national institution of which Canadians are justly proud. no causes advantage high place who disagt The Mail and Empire says:â€"‘"We have repeatedly drawn attention th the part played by Soviet Russia in recent disâ€" turbances throughout British India." The Mail and Empire quotes the organ of the Communist International as saying: "We must inspire the people of India with the spirit of war to the bitter end and the spirit of §t.ruggle for India in which there will be no place for British Imperialism." But why go as far afield as India? The Advance "has repeatedly drawn attention to the part played by Soviet Russia in recent disâ€" turbances" in Canadaâ€"in Timmins, Sudbury, Toronto and Winnipeg. The same advice has been forwarded to the Soviet tcools here as was given to those in India. "Defend the Soviet!" "Smash up the Canadian System!‘* "Kill all religion!" these are the orders given the Soviet tools here. The same tactics are being used all over the globe by the Soviet. In Russia the condition of all classes has been dragged down to the level of their poorer classes before the revolution.

The company recently completed finâ€" ancial arrangements which officials say are suffcient to complete the developâ€" ment programme planned and construct the mill.

MINE RESCUE TRUCK NOW AT SUDBURY MINE STATION The Sudbury Star last week says:â€" "The final instalment of mine rescue equipment provided for the Sudbury district arrived here this week in the shape of a large sixâ€"cylinder, fourâ€"ton truck, specially designed to store and carry the equipment and apiparatus necessary for coping with a mine disâ€" aster of any proportions in any part of the district. The truck will be mainâ€" tained fully equipped with apparatus for ten hours continuous service and will be kept at the district mine rescue staticn in readiness for emergency. The truck was driven from Toronto to Sudbury on Tuesday night by D. G. Sinclair, chief mining inspector, and T. J. Fee, suplrrintendent of the district station. The new rescue truck is the largest of its kind in the Dominion, and ‘To Grocers TEA without equipment weighs 8,300 pounds, with equipment, about six tons. It has a special panel bedy 11 feet inside length by 6 feet in width, with specially builtâ€"in compartments on either side of a . centre aisle for storing and carrying various pieces of equipment. This equirimnent, which is now stored in the rescue station, consists of 12 sets 2â€"hour type oxygen breathing apparatus; 12 all service gas masks; 66 spare GaSs mask canisters; 24 self rescuers; 12 flashlights, 12 can lamps with spare battery each, one charging equipment for Edison batteries, one inhalator, four large oxygen cylinders, one high presâ€" sure pump, one life line and reel, two fAame safety lamps, three carbon monâ€" oxide detectors, and complete accesâ€" sories, including spare parts, etc." SCHL P.
