lndadeed, quile a I°ew peopie Deileve LUial Uiie NOPLVi observes Sunday too much and in too many ways. If Toronto means by observing Sunday the idea of going to church, the North still may consider the advice as superfluous. On Sunday The Advance staff photographer took a picture of one local church, already filled to capacity, and with a couâ€" ple of hundred people on the steps and the walk in front unable to gain entry, Other churches in the town had similar experience on Sunday. If by the phrase, "Observe Sunday," Toronto means what "*Obser\ sumptic the No: day!" Hasn‘t at the envelope and then tears it open. Of course,| the average woman is supposed to look at the ad-] dress, turn the letter over several times, even study | the postmark, and guess as to the probable writer of the letter. Alsc, it is stated on the most ancienti and reliable authority that Scotsmen carefully scan the unopened letter to be sure that the stamp or stzimps are thoroughly cancelled so as to preâ€" clude the chance of using them again. Despite these probable slanders it is safe to say that canâ€"| cellation‘stamps are little read by the wayfaring| folks receiving mail. The old style of cancellation | was simply a blur that defaced the stamp and made it useless for further use by the thrifty. In more[ recent years, however, the custom has developed of * cancelling stamps on letters by stamping across! their face nearly everything from plain publicity| to sloppy slogans. "Support the Red Cross!" “At-’ tend the Canadian National Exhibition at Toron-; to!" "Buy a Government Bond!" These are a few of the phrases with which postage stamps have been cancelled. Last week a peculiar cancellation on one envelope happened to strike the eye, and| led to noting other cancellations used. Reading some of the news from Montreal it might be exâ€"| pected that the stamps on letters from that centre! might be cancelled with a row of swastikas, but inâ€" ' stead the ecancellation was no more than a row of} crooked lines, without any reference to St. James] Street. The Timmins cancellation carried the words:â€""Give Your Change of Address to thei Postmaster." That is good advice, if anybody heeds{ it. Frobably, now that it is repeated in these col-i umns where everybody will notice it, there may | be effectiveness to the slogan. What with t,he changes in street numbers of houses some weeks ago, the changing in box numbers in more recenti weeks, the discontinuance of a number of boxes,f and other happenings, a lot of people scarcely know theirsown address or even where they live. As soon as they find out, they certainly should tell the postmaster, not to mention the grocer, the butcher. the baker, the milkman, the coalman, the candlestick maker, and everybody else, except the! bill collector.. Trust the latter to find out, even though the postmaster doesn‘t know. And Toronto! Now what do you imagine the Toronto cancellation stamp says? Just two words: "Observe Sunday!" It‘s just like Toronto‘s preâ€" sumption to cancel a stamp on letters coming to the North with words like that. "Observe Sunâ€"| day!" Hasn‘t the North always observed Sunday? Hasn‘t the North observed every day of the week? | Indeed,. quite a few people believe that the Nort.hi observes Sunday too much and in too many ways.' i varmges: nevntmes Do you ever notice the canceiiation stamp on letâ€" ters going. through the mail? Most people do not. The average man does well, indeed, if he notices the address enough not to be opening letters adâ€" dressed to his wife. The average man just glances your own way and De nappy. iney ail nave dilâ€" ferent ‘"isms," but they all mear the same thing in the long runâ€"it just means that somebody is not only telling you what you must do, but also what you must think." Asked if he thought the British system perfect, he replied that he had not been worrying much abcut that. "I hardly expect anything perfect till I get to Heaven," he said, "and these dictator felâ€" lows all seem to be closing up Heaven, or trying to." ‘"The way I look at it," he concluded, ‘"is that Canada gives people far more opportunity for life, business, progress, culture, happiness, than any of these ismâ€"ridden lands, and on top of that let‘s a fellow do some thinking on his own, and he can even talk out ioud without being shot or castorâ€" oiled. It suits me. So I‘m all for the Canadian wayâ€"the British way." not as welJ as some other people who want to risk changing it all by having Fascism or Communism. What I remember all the time is that in none of tne foreign countries that I know could I be really a‘free man like I am here. I wouldn‘t dare, for inâ€" stance, talk like this in my own country. Unless you cha'fle with the government there, you find it very hard on your neck. You have no security. You are not left alone to go along and try to make your own way and be happy.

Italy will not interfere with the flow of Lake Tana, headwaters of the Nile. 6. Britain and Italy will exchange information about military activities in the Mediterrancan area. 7. Italy will respect Britain‘s dominance of Aden at southern entrance to the Red Sea. 5. Italy will adhere to free navigation of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, as provided in the Montreaux Convention. 3. Britain and Italy will not interfere with shipâ€" ping in the Mediterranean and the route east. 4. The Ethiopian frontier will be sharply defined to prevent interference with Italian dominance within the country proper. At the weekâ€"end there came the pleasing news| that Italy and Britain had agreed upon a treaty of friendship. Thus is the stand of Premier Chamâ€" berlain fully justified. This treaty promises to dol more to assure peace in Europe than anything else | that has appeared on the political horizon sincei the Great War. There is the further cheeringi news that the probabilities are very great that a| similar treaty of friendship will be signed between | France and Italy. With France, Italy and Britain firm and understanding allies, their influence and | power is almost sure to prevent further aggression ; in Europe. Students of European politics are inâ€"| clined to believe that an alliance of Italy, France and Britain means security and peace for Europe. But even though war should prove inevitable, credit must be given to Premier Chamberilain‘s diplomacy for placing Britain in a position to upâ€" hold the right. Surely it is apparent to those tincâ€" ; tured with red or pink who attempted to stampede Britain into a war with the Fascist nations on beâ€"| half of Spainâ€"or Austriaâ€"or any place elseâ€"â€"thati Britain and France would have been forced to face | the danger and bear the burden aloaeâ€"with the! Fascist nations ranged against them. It is someâ€" | thing worth while to know now that if such an isâ€" i sue is forced, Italy will be with the British and the | French, instead of against them. It is a case of| another ally, instead of another enemy, in the | event that war does come. If France and Italy| now join in a treaty of friendship, the integrity of | Czechoslovakia would seem assured. Italy and; Britain had been traditional friends and allies for | years until their recent estrangement over Ethio-f pia. It will be popular in both countries that they ; have renewed their friendship. | | | | | u 2. Italy will seek no territorial or political rights in Spain. 1. Britain and Italy will maintain their present positions in the Red Sea and Mediterranean. Despatches reaching Canada on Saturday say that the points covered by the treaty include:â€" most people mean when they use the words, then it would have been more seemly for Toronto to have used a cancellation stamp asking all to notify the postmaster of their new address, while the North might well have sent Toronto letters bearing the bold black inscription, "Observe Sunday!" Once Toronto, known as the "City of Churches" and the "Home of the Good," observed Sunday by dropping all business and more or less spending the day in quiet at home and in song and meditation at church. But toâ€"day the people of Toronto simply motor out of the city and leave visitors to the city to face the inconvenience of not being able to buy a newspaper or a packet of cigarettes. To "Observe Sunday‘" the Toronto way these days would seem to be to buy a sweepstakes ticket or take the girl to a beverage room, these being the latest contribuâ€" tions to the moral uplift of the province imposed upon the people chiefly and imainly through Torâ€" onto influence.
