Did many readers notice a small adâ€" vertisement in The Argus recently inâ€" viting intellectual and refined people to form a colony on a South Sea isâ€" land? Apparently many did, for the advertiser has received more than 250 replics from those seeking solitudeâ€" provided it is not too lonely. The adâ€" vertiser, who produced his credentials, is a member of the Royal Australian Air Force, perfectly sincere in his inâ€" tention to form an ideal social centre, "to eliminate hatred and poverty and fear." In his Utopia he promises wild horses and cattle, cascading streams, tropical fruits, and no tax collectors or other pestilences. It is not true that of the replies already received to this alluring advertisement nearly all came from politicians and bookmakers seeking surcease from turmoil. They came from ordinary simple folk who are tired of this civilization, and who cannot stand the noise of the trams in Elizabeth street any longer,. â€" Melâ€" bouine Argus.

Dafoe, editor of the Winâ€" nipeg Free Press, "a national inâ€" tegration, the extent and strength of which is not yet known." Following this strengthening of the popular will, he continued, it will be found that the REST IS BEST â€" The best way to fight a cold, either bad or indifferent, is to stay at home and go to bed, says the Toronto M. O. H., Dr. Gordon P. Jackson. Rest is the most important thing, if you want to stop short of inâ€" fluenza or pneumonia. _ Incidentally, your staying home will help your felâ€" lowâ€"workers to avoid infection. Where does it all end? If we wish to turn aside the sure and fearful fate awaiting our presentâ€"day civilization, we shall have to become once more, masters of our own destinies. FAST PACE â€" In the old days, so they tell us, history moved more slowâ€" ly, at such a leisurely rate, in fact, that people could sit back and specuâ€" late a while about each event after it happened. In these times we are alâ€" lowed no such privilege. Terrifying things occur in a great many parts of the world simultaneously, nationâ€"wide movemerts surge up and threaten to engulf us whenever we pause to take thought. Dr. Alexis Carrel, worldâ€"famâ€" ed medical scientist, says the reason for this state of affairs is that man‘s control over matter and over his own mind has not kept pace with the meâ€" chanization of the age. Machines have gone ahead. Man has stayed behind until now things are happening too swiftly for him.

By contrast we feel ourâ€" selves extremely lucky, draw closer to to one another within our own bordâ€" ers, are provder to call ourselves "Ca nadians." There are, three times as many parts in a plano as in an automobile.
