Pathway Through Life of a Canadian-born Humorist I can still recall the thrill of pride I felt when a Pullman porter first called me “doctor". and when another one raised me up to “judge“. and the terrible shock it was when a taxi-man swung open hb dOOr and said “step right in, dad." It was hard to hear when a newspaper reporter spoke of me as the "old gentleman" and said I was very simply dressed. He was a liar; those were my best things. It. was a worse shock when a newspaper last Autumn called me a Septuagenarianâ€"another cowardly he as I was only sixtyâ€"nine and seven-twelfths.

Curling is the only known sport that has the one parent bodyâ€"the Royal Caledonian Club of Scotland. The Dominion Curling Association is affiliated with this parent organization. just as are the branches in Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, China, the United States. France and Switzerland. (Stephen Leacock. in the London Spectator) The path through life from youth to age you may trace for yourself by the varying way in which strangers address you. You begin as “little man“. and them “little b03'j‘, because a little man is littler than a little boy; then “sonny", and then “my boy“, and after that “young man.” and presently the inter- locutor is younger than yourself and says “Say. mister." There are 30,000 registered curlers in Canada. This sportâ€"probably the only one left without a taint of profes- sionalismâ€"was introduced to this coun- try over 100 years ago, and there are several branches here that can claim over century of continuous existence. The idea of the Curlers' Red Cross Fund originated with the executive of the Dominion Association, and E. P. Atkinson, Toronto. honorary secretary- treasurer, was appointed to carry it through. A deadline of March lst. a few days preceding the annual meet- ing, has been set for donations. Detroit, the only United States city affiliated with the Ontario Curling Association. has already made a contribution, it is understood, and so have several Can- adian groups. Owing to the lateness of the arrival of cold weather. curling has had a late start insome sections of the country, but the men and women who “soopit up" are determined to make up for lost time in their effort to raise funds on their :bons'piels and matches.

G. L. Harstone, Hamilton, Ontario, president of the Dominion Curling Asâ€" sociation. stated yesterday that he had "every confidence that curlers through- out the Dominion will accept the res- ponsi'biliy of assuring the success of the Curlers' Red Cross Fund." It was a good way, he said, of expressing “our loyalty to and our deep affiliation with the Mother Land." ‘Mr. Proskury died in the Anson Gen- eral Hospital on Thursday night, fol- lowing a lingering illness which con- fined him to his bed for the past two years.

The men were I.R.A. terrorists whose bombs were the cause of at least five deaths. Pressure was brought to bear on the British Govern- ment, to force the acceptance of some kind of arrangement that would save the lives of the two I.R.A. men. Britain maintained a position of neutrality. The British government refused to ac- cede to the request for a reprieve for the two men who had been responsible themselves for groups of murders.

Ottawa has Tiger by the Tall Censorship of political addresses by the radio censors has roused a storm of protest from all sides. The thought that. the radio should censor Hon. Dr. Manion‘s addresses and leave 'Hon. Mackenzie King without any interfer- ence, seems so unfair and objection- able as to be scarcely considered. On the other hand it seems silly to serious- ly suggest that his own empIOyees should pretend with any sincerity to censor the addresses of the chief figure in the Dominion at the moment. The Government has been alarmed at the rbitterness with which the public views the proposal to have what is on its surface no more than political party control of Canada's radio. The Gov- ernment, however. feels it can scarcely proceed with the enforcement of dictatorship, b t at the same time there does not ppear to be any ligiti- mate way in which Hon. Mr. King can remedy the situation without complete- ly nullifying much of the good work done in the past.
