Haystacks and hurdles gleam for honour now | And troughs and hovels in the lonely £paces Shorn empty fields; where yet the eye discerns A harvest home; look how the expanses point To what the crowded season scorned, to stubs That hold afield their cutlaw solitude, The manrdrakes of the farms; see The Last of Autumn (By Edmund Blunden) From cloudy shapes of trees that cluster the hills | The calm biue morning into brightness climbs ; And joy unhopedâ€"for holds us hushed, and grace Lures love again to ccigns whence the long vales Lie beautiful; that to my watchâ€"tower come : | I haunt an hour, I warm to radiance too, By oaks that seem to kindle with the dawn. But near his noon the sun sheds dizzy light, And burning boughs burn with the dawn of death. One of those poems tuai are so very real that ore catches his breath while reading it is "The Last of Autumn", by Edmund Blunden. At this time of the year, when summer is but a memory, and autumn is fast passing away, it is pleasing to find a poem which expresses the general thought that comes to each of us.

Phone 28 Sudbury Star:â€"The imprint of a moâ€"| tor license plate was transferred to a Hydro post when the car struck the pole. Probably just an attempt to show that an impression of the new markers _ is more visible even than the original shouldn‘t lose sight of the fact that residents, who use the highways throughout the year, are the ones who really suffer by reason of bad roads, and the alleviation of this misery as quickly as possible should compel work in the winter period. While tourists figure prominently in the "reason‘"‘" for the big roadway exâ€" penditure‘ in the North, the department said considerable work remains to be done in the Temagami Reserve to make the route inviting to tourists. He also said the department is giving special consideration to this section of the highwayâ€"and with the expectation of the improvement cost being high, due to the elimination of numerous dangerâ€" ous curves, reduction of grades and the laying of a durable surface. While he didn‘t indicate this work will continue throughout the winter, it is believed he was impressed by the need for pushâ€" ing the job. to the fullest possible exâ€" tent. ‘ When at Kapuskasing in the course of a recent tour of the T. N.O. region, Hon. T. B. McQuesten, minister of highways, mentioned improvements beâ€" ing made to the Ferguson highway, and While laying of pavement and other finishing jobs are not practical in the winter months, it is generally considâ€" ered the best season in which to cut through for new routes and for takâ€" ing out rock cuts. Since there is conâ€" siderable of this work to be done in the reâ€"routing of the North Bayâ€"Sault and Ferguson highways, it is hoped the department will do it in the coming winter to provide muchâ€"needed employâ€" ment and avoid disruption of traffic in the summer pericd. There is good reaâ€" son for haste in the construction ofl better roadways in the North and as much as possible should be dore in the winter period to hasten the comâ€" pletion date. ' It will be recalled that Premier M F. Hepburn said, in countering a promâ€" ise by Hon. Earl Rowe in the course. of the provircial election campaign, that the building of permanent roads in Northern Ontario would be continued until such time as every part of the North can be reached by auto in securâ€" ity and comfort. (From an editorial in The North Bay Nugget.) Announcement of a general "slackenâ€" ing up" of highway construction thrsughout the North as the year wears into the winter season is an expected development, but northerners hope ofâ€" ficials of the highways department will plan for a resumption of work very early in the spring of 1938, and a conâ€" tinuance of possible operations in the winter.

In 1936 With the publication of "Aziyade" in 1879 the cbscure naval lieutenant beâ€" came a national celebrity. The exotic background of the story and the pasâ€" sionate intensity of the style were someâ€" thing ‘Dew and appealing to a reading public accustomed to the harsh realism of Zola and Flaubert. His subsequent novels, ‘"The Marriage of Loti", ‘"The Romance of a Spahi‘", and "Madame Chrysanthemum‘" proved no less popuâ€" lar and in 1890 Loti was made a memâ€" ber of the French Academy. In spite of his brilliant literary success, however. he continued to serve as captain in the French Navy until 1910 when he was placed upon the retired list. Canada Leads the World in Aerial Freighting Perhaps the most romantic chapter in Loti‘s life occurred while he was stationed at Constantinople. Wandering through the dark streets of this picturâ€" esque old city, the young French officer srddenly noticed a pair of seaâ€"green eyes regarding him from a balcony. Imâ€" petuously he scaled the wall and enâ€" tered upon an ardent adventure with the Circassian slave girl, Aziyade, who later became the hersine of his first important novel. Eventually Loti was recalled to France and the lovers were torn apart, but he never forgot Aziyade, and long afterwards when he revisited Corstantinople and learned that she was dead. he sought cut the cemetery where she was buried and carried away her gravestone as a memento! Subsequent voyages to the South Seas, West Africa and the Mediterâ€" ranean gave Loti an interest in the exctic scenes and people that was to romain with him all his life. He also became gradually accustomed to the hardships of the sea, and when he finâ€" ally returned to France in 1874 his commanding officer reported that Loti was "intelligent. full of zeal, and an exâ€" cellent subordinate". The young officer grew to like the rough, simple characâ€" ters of the sailors under his command, and some of his finest books, "My Brother Yves, and "An Icsland Fishâ€" erman", are woven about the hardy Breton seamen that he came to know so well. sique and the tempterament of ar artâ€" These natural disadvantages, howâ€" ever, did not prevent him from embarkâ€" ing on a series of tempestuocus love afâ€" fairs, or from getting drunk for the first time in his life at a banquet given by the New York Temperance Society!

A delightful housewarming party was held at the home of Miss Adelia Ansara, of Hemlock street, on Sunday night. About thirty of her friends were present to enjoy the evening of pingâ€"pong, cards, bingo and many other games.

Housewarming Party on Sunday Night in Timmins At the outbreak of the World War Loti begged the War Office for a poâ€" sition on active service.

The hardships of the war permanently shattered the old writer‘s health, however, and he died cn June 10, 1923. New Pictorials from Ecuador A new series of four postage stamps has recently been issued by the little South American country of Ecuador. The 10 oliveâ€"green shows an Indian miner washing gold in one of the: mountain streams near the coast. Anl Andean scene is represented on the 2c1 green; and the 5¢ red pictures the Inca chieftain Atahualpa, who was. treacherâ€" ously murdered by the Spanish conâ€" quistador, Pizarro. The interesting deâ€" sign of the 10¢ blue illustrates the proâ€" cess of making the jipijapa or soâ€"called or soâ€"called "Panama" hats, which conâ€" trary to general belief have always been made in Ecuador and not in Panama. The incorrect name of "Panama hat" arcse from the fact that they were first introduced into this country by the "Fortyâ€"Niners‘‘, who bought them while crcssing the isthmus of Panama on their way to the California gold rush. Loti sems to have been a confirmed sceptic in religious matters. After his unhappy parting from Aziyade ‘he thought for a time to renounce the world by entering a monastery, but the hard fare and uncomfortable bedsâ€" things natually abhorrent to any healthy Frenchmanâ€"soon caused him to change his mind. Later in life he was attracted to Mohammedanism and his home in France was sumptuously furnished like a Turkish mosque, with Aziyade‘s gravestone occupying the place of honour. Loti‘s fondness for all things Turkish developed into almost a cult. During the Balkan Wars he championâ€" ed the Turks in his book "Turkey in Agony", and when the writer visited Constantinople in 1913 he was personâ€" ally received by the Sultan with a splendid ovation. Small shy and with a rather plaintâ€" ive face, Loti seemed the last boy in the world who would make a good sailor, and at the end of his first trainâ€" ing cruise his captain described him as a "spolilt child, with a poor phyâ€" 1850. His childhood was unremarkable and like many another great author it is said that at school he received very low marks in composition. From an early age his leadlng characteristic seems to have been a constant craving for romance, and rebelling against the humdrum atmosphere of his surroundâ€" ings he finally decided on a naval carâ€" _ There is no doubt that the average man or woman would be better off without alcohol or tobacco. Of the two, it is possible that tobacco is on the whole, the more harmful. chiefly beâ€" cause its use is far more widespread. Overeating is far more harmful than either the use of tobacco or alcohol. After middle lifé, the average man and woman become heavy about the waistâ€" line, a condition definitely due to too much focd and too little exercise. Inâ€" creased weight, in turn, disinclines the person to take exercise; a chain of deâ€" struction is set up and the person is liable to such ills as diabetes, arthritis. high blood pressure, heart discase and many others. The English aristocracy has often been called ‘ "blueâ€"blooded". The new Health aristocracy is redâ€"blooded. It is characterized by physical, mental and moral superiority. The Bishop is a real aristocrat of the new order. _ At a banquet of the People‘s League of Health, in London, England,â€" the Bishop of London, by the way a Canâ€" adian, presented himself as an example of abundant health. As he said, "at 79 he was doing the work he had done at 29 and rather better.‘" He ascribed his good condition to four simple rules: no tobacco, no alcohol, moderation in eating and regular exercise.
