According to statistics, said Dr. Wenger, roughly two per cent of the population of the nation was infected with venereal disease. In the United States the figure rose to ten per cent. QOne reason for the increase was that it was found very difficult to control the spread of the discase among the Negro population. Best preventive for social diseases was public education regarding them, said Dr. Peter Wenger, wbospoketo the Diseases" thing, furthermore, for clubs, schools and church groups to have lectures on Dr. Wenger said that he believed t the facts concerning the diseases : d be taught in secondary schools in Onâ€" tario. He believed it would be a good That the disease were controllable was evidenced by the fact that in the Scandanavian countries there were only about 2,000 cases a year. It was the duty of clubs, such as the Kiwanis, soid Dr. Wenger, to bring such important matters to the attenâ€" tion of the community.. ° Dr. Wenger was introduced by Dr. Lee Honey. Arthur Thompson thanked him. Stan Blake, of the South Porcupine Kiwanis, said Dr. Wenger, to bring tion was bringing as a speaker a docâ€" tor who lived in Vienna prior to the time that city was absorbed by Gerâ€" many. The doctor was an outstanding speaker and would discuss affairs in Germany as he knew them, when he Jleft, said Mr. Blake. Many of this docâ€" tor‘s friends were in concentration camps. New member Arthur Thompson was welcomed into the club by Rev. William Mustard who said that the Kiwanis motto "We Build" could be considered in two ways. ‘Kiwanians could build by helping themselves through friendship and fraternity and at the same time, help others by assisting in the work of bullding the lives of the needy. Speaking on behalf of the agricultural committee, W. W. Tanner announced that speakers from the experimental farm would address the club at its next meeting. Farmers from the district would ‘be invited as guests. President A. F. McDowell was in the chair and W. H. Wilson provided the piano accompaniment for singing. Guests at the meeting were Dr. Wenger; E. G. Smith, Toronto; W. H. Armitage, Kirkland Lake; â€" Stanley Blake, South Porcupine Kiwanis Club; C. S..Anderson, South Porcupine Kiwaâ€" nis Club; Barney Quinn, Timmins, and V. H. Smith, Toronto. Despite all the prophecies and hopes, Premier Aberhart and his Social Credit party are back in the saddle in Alberta, Although returned by _a reduced majority the Social Credit party is again securely entrenched. This week the election of C. E. Gerhart in Acadiaâ€" Coronation on the second count runs the total Social Credit members elected to 35. Nineteen Independents and one Labour candidate have also been deâ€" leyle. fini teeT‘wthrdereacote finitely elected. There are two seats where second counts make the final result doubtful. The total number of seats in the Alberta legislature is 57. Exchange:â€"Maybe the meek might rise up and say they don‘t want to inâ€" herit such an earth. Social Credit Party Now Has 35 Members in Alberta $16.65 PULLMAN â€" Port Arthur, April 3.â€"Six persons, two adulits and four children, were suffocated early Tuesday morning when a house was destroyed by fire on the outakirts of Port Arthur. ‘The victims: Mrs. Ali Metsa, 20; her father, Oscar Blom, 54, and the woâ€" four, Harold, three; Allan, 11 months. The bodies were found in a hallway not far from the door. Apparently the man and woman attempted to rescue the children but failed when overcome by smoke only a few steps from safety. ‘While firemen were attacking the door, cries of a child could be heard, but the children were dead when entry ‘â€"The father of the children, Jauna Metsa, who works at night in nearby Fort Wiliam, had not returned home at the time of the fire. â€" Cause of the blaze was not known. You know that remark about truth being stranger than fiction? Well, it is true. Proof may be found in the story of the Brooklyn murder ring. It all started when Abe (Kid Twist) Reles, Brooklyn gang chieftain, began to "sing‘" for District Attorney William O‘Dwyer. From the information he imâ€" parted a vast syndicate ‘which would, for emolument, dispose of chbjectionable persons for amazingly low prices, was uncovered by the law. To trace the machinations of the syndicate and the progress of the inâ€" vestigation would merely ibe repitition. New York newspapermen have done that very well. But it is the colourâ€"in the case which attracts attention. To ‘begin with Mr. O‘Dwyer has a score of long standing to pay off against ganglarid. His brother was the innocent byâ€"stander who reâ€" ceived fatal wounds in a longâ€"past gun battle. There is the motive for the hero‘s unrelenting hatred of thuggery. Most recent discovery was "Oscar t;hel Poet," a longâ€"haired individual 'whoi affects threadbare clothing and ai Byronic collar. Oscar, it seems, had talent other than the appreciation of lambic pentameter. He was known as the most skilful disposer of "hot cars‘‘ in the underworld. He had, it is reported, a fairly mysâ€" terious method of disposing of autoâ€" mobiles which had been used by syndicate members to take their victims for the last, fatal "ride." The universal solvent: perhaps. There ‘was another more mundane explanation of his ability to dispose of carsâ€"â€"he merely had them broken upâ€"but why credit that when the more enticing possibility is present. Another colourful character is a tall, striking brunette who is reported to have given men "the kiss of° death." She would be seen with a man and then shortly after she left him he would run up against a fatal accidentâ€"a lead slug perhaps. s * But to go back to Oscar, who by long odds is the most unusual of the syndiâ€" cate members uncovered to date. Oscar apparently, did not carry a volume of poetry in order to provide good newsâ€" paper copy when he eventually was nabbed. He really was a lover of verse â€"disposing of "hot cars‘"‘ was merely a vulgar occupation for which he was well suited and which made him a living. He was tall and rather gaunt, as would befit the appearance of one who strode alone in parks softly reciting the melodious lines of Wordsworth. He was an ascetic; beneath his grey mane his face was lined and melancholy. One can see that Qscar did not have his heart in this slightly nauseating business of disposing of death carsâ€"it very likely was a disagreeable interruption every time one of the syndicate thugs would approach him and plead with him to "get rid of it for me, won‘t you Oscar." Joachim von Ribbentrop, who used to sell wine and now sells his ideas to Hitler and Hitler‘s to everyone else who will listen, did not get a very friendly reception at the Vatican when he reâ€" cently paid a call. It apparently was very definitely a frigid atmosphere into which he stepped when he went to see Ribbentrop begged the Vatican to cease its radio campaign exposing the actions of the Nazis in their apparent effort to annihilate nationalism in PAâ€" land by mass execution of its leaders. As a bait the high ranking Nazl offered a new agreement with the Vatican. the Pope. For one thing the Pope, during the time he was talking to the German minister, had on his desk a report of German atrocities in Poland. What was the use of signing a new concordat, he was asked, when the existing one had been violated a thousand times? Upshot of the conversation between the German and His Holiness was that Ribbentrop "felt unwell" and left the room. _ He forgot his overcoat, rushed tout of the palace and in his confusion jumped into a Cardinal‘s car instead !ot his own. The young lady from Boston ‘was exâ€" plaining. "Take an egg," she said, "and make a perforation in the base and a corresponding one in the apex. Then apply the lips to the aperture and, by forcibly exhaling the breath, discharge Too Much Big Talk \â€" The Palace theatre is being filled to capacity at each showing this week of the {amous motion picture. "Gone With the Wind," a faithful dramatization of the book by the same name. "Gone With the Wind" will be at the Palace all the rest of this week. The picture is in technicolor, the scenery, settings, costumes and acting are outstanding in their attraction and the general opinâ€" ion appears to be that this is one of the best motion pictures shown here for several years. "Gone With the Wind" which is a story of the war beâ€" tween the North and South, pictures in graphic way personalities and condiâ€" tions in the United States at the time of the Civil War. The book on which the play is based was a "best seller," literally hundreds of thousands of copies of the book being sold. Among the outstanding artists taking part in the play are:â€"Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard, Olivia de Haviâ€" land, Thomas Mitchell, Hattie McDanâ€" jel, Barbara O‘Neill and many others. _. "Gone With the Wind" will be shown at the Palace for the balance of this week. General Opinion Seems to be That This is a Picture of QOutstanding Merit. > Kirkland Lake, April 3â€"Another chapter of bravery and perseverance was written into the annals of Northern Ontario mining today, as weary rescue workers rested afterâ€"more than 22 hours of digging through rock and muck to save the life of 22â€"yearâ€"old Percy Robinson. Larder Lake Miner Rescued from Fall of Rock in Mine Perey . Robinson Trapped Underground for Over 22 Hours. Entombed in Mine The miner was released from a prison 150 feet beneath the surface of Chesterâ€" villeâ€"Larder Lake mine early today, where he was trapped since being caught beneath a slide yesterday mornâ€" ing. While officials of the mine 28 miles from here, near the Quebec border, inâ€" vestigated the cause of the slide, Robinâ€" son joined his mother and two brothers, apparently none the worse for his experience. Shifts of 20 miners worked for hours without relief to crash through the 10 feet of rock which imprisoned Robinâ€" son near the first level of the mine. Working carefully to avoid creating a further skhde which would have meant certain d;ath for the young man who was employed as a machineâ€"runner, the rescue crew was near exhaustion at the completion of their task. Most of yesterday, the rescue crew were in communication with Robinson through a pipe which was forced through the debris. He thanked them for their efforts and told them he had plenty of room to exercise. Soup and coffee sent down the pipe enabled Robinson to retain his energy and constantly send word of advice and direction to his rescuers. His only.comâ€" plaint as he puffed on cigarettes sent down by his fellow workers, was that he was cold. London, April 3.â€"The Admiralty has announced that the German freighter Mimi Horn, out ‘of Curacao, Netherâ€" lands West Indies, intercepted in "norâ€" thern water‘s‘" by British menâ€"Oofâ€"war, had been set afire and scuttled by her own crew. ‘The Ministry of Information in anâ€" other announcement, revealéd that the navy has developed a startling new deâ€" vice for locating submarines, even more terrorizing to the Uâ€"boats than the "ears" that lhrad located and brought to destruction so many raiders earlier in the war. Mystery Device Traces Presence of Submarines Capture of a submarine that raided a convoy "some weeks ago" was effectâ€" ed by this new device. Naval officers lyrically described it as "impalpable fingers groping beneath the surface of the sea." An escort vessel sighted the Uâ€"boat periscope and dropped depth charges. Later, the submarine was loâ€" cated two miles away. ‘Three British destroyers, a French destroyer and a British fiying boat dropped depth charges and bombs, forcâ€" ing the submarine to the surface, and there it surrendered, fatally damaged. All of the submarine crew were pickâ€" ed up except the commander, who reâ€" mained aboard his craft, The subâ€" marine then sank. Members of the destroyer crews said the submarine was located by the new "hushâ€"hush" device. Gault Ste. Marie, April 3â€"Formal welcome to Judge John H.
