M. de la Coze, arrived in Canada for the first time, is full of praises for our country. He had no idea it was so beautiful. The delay may be maddening to him, but Herr Hitler will just have to stand aside politely till Lord Runciman‘s through. But then, boys, ah! then . . . . MATTER OF FACTâ€"Little good though the Runciman mission to Czechoslovakia is likely to do, (the Czechs didn‘t even ask Prime Minâ€" ister Chamberlain to send him), this much is certain, that, while he is on the scene studying the situaâ€" tion and preparing to arbitrate beâ€" tween Germany and Czechoslovakâ€" ia, Hiller cannot afford to make an open move against the little repubâ€" lic. ‘Twould be a bad breach of manners for him to do any such thing at a moment when he is courting the favor of the British. %NAMES me NEWS It will help the railways out, too. Both the C.N.R. and the C.P.R. have long been saying that if the West could grow just one good crop, the revenues resulting from heavy freight hauling would cut operating losses and substantially reduce the railways‘ indebtedness.

He points out that the price for Ontario wheat now ranges from 35¢ to 65¢, instead of $0¢, per bushel. More gold is being mined in Australia than a year ago. Wants Wheat Pegged Again, the Minister of Agriculâ€" ture: ‘"If our young people are to continue to live on the farm, rural life must be made attractive to them." Mr. Dewan would like to see the mass of our rural people live prosâ€" perous and happy lives. Coâ€"operaâ€" tion, in his fervent belief, would help to bring about that end. His mission is to educate the people to its value; he would like to have a staff of instructors go out into the Province on an educational crusade for the coâ€"operative movement, but in this he is sadly handicapped beâ€" cause the government isn‘t preparâ€" ed to spend money on such a proâ€" ject. (Not only farmers but people generally would benefit by particiâ€" pation in coâ€"operatives, Mr. Dewan says). "Educate the People" Always interested in people and events, Mr. Dewan was inevitably drawn to politics. In 1931 he won a seat on the Woodstock City Counâ€" cil; in 1934 entered the Ontario Legislature as Liberal member for Oxford; following last autumn‘s elâ€" ection he was chosen by the Preâ€" mier as Minister of Agriculture. vanced it to first rank among such enterprises in Canada. He has also been a successful Secretaryâ€"Treasâ€" urer of the Woodstock Agricultural Society. THIS WEEK‘s QQUuEsTiIONâ€" How many Eskimos are there in the Dominion of Canada? Indians? Answer: 6,000 Eskimos and 123,000 Indians (approximately). When the undeclared war began, the Japanese military hesis had a schedule doped out which must be adhered to if succes is to be theirs. They expected the campaign to last but a couple of months. Now, more than a year later, when Chiâ€" nese resistance has slowed up the scheulde to a point where it ‘can scarcely be said to work any longer, the Japanese chances of success are becoming smaller and smaller. BEKHIND SCHEDULEâ€"Thke Chiâ€" nese may not be such hot fighters but they are managing to hold their own against the Japanese invasion. Their aim now is not to drive the Japs out of the country in a big ofâ€" fensive but to draw them further and further afield till the Nipponese war machine can be finally stalled. Now that someone who should know has told us unequivocally that Canada is beautiful, we may learn to believe it, to feel pride and joy in our Canadian countryside, our own particular sweet corner of Onâ€" tario. Neither had some of vs. We are used to thinking that farâ€"away fields are greener, more lovely than our own. We have developed an inâ€" feriority complex on the subject of our own country and its beauties; we roll our eyes in the direction of Europe or the States instead. ty Peter Randal Hardâ€"up ~Germans have been economizing and joining the hatâ€" less brigade, with the result that there has been a terrific drop in the sale of hats. Apart from an intensive adverâ€" tising campaign, women are being asked not to walk with hatless men. It is "primitive." say the authorities, for a man not to wear Geruany‘s Latest Slogan is a Hat‘" The South Australian Governâ€" ment is organizing an expedition to examine the skeletons, comprisâ€" ing an anthropologist, ethnologist, surveyor and a cinematographer. It is believed that torrential rains probably uncovered the skeletons, Campaign Against Hatless Germans Seven of the skeletons were grouped in a circle, suggesting that the men were around a campâ€" fire when they were surprised by blacks and speared. The eighth skeleton lay two miles away and the presumption is the wounded man fled and later fell exhausted and expired. The expedition was last reportâ€" ed at Innaminaka, just over the South Australian border, thirty miles east of where the skeletons were found. The skeletons of eight men, beâ€" lieved to be members of an exâ€" pedition led by a German explorâ€" er, Friedrich Leichareit, which left Moreton Bay, on the Queensland coast, in 1848, to cross the continâ€" ent and disappeared in the interâ€" ior, have been found in the Simpâ€" son Desert in the northern part of South Australia by a ranchâ€"owner while rounding up cattle. Grouped In a Circle Believed to Be Of Eight Men Who Went on Expedition Into Interior of Australia Desert Yields 1848 Skeletons Dr. Campeanu states, according to a report on his work in "The Journal of the American Medical Association," that getting up imâ€" mediately after an operation is a psychic as well as a physical stimâ€" ulant and curtails the duration of disability. Among the 1,300 patiâ€" ents operated on since January, 1937, there have been three deaths. When operations are performed under spinal or general anesthesia the patients are on their feet the second day. They return on the seyâ€" enth or eighth day for removal of stitches. A Psychic Stimulant Since 1934 Dr. Campeanu has performed 3,150 abdominal operaâ€" tions in which the patients left their beds on the day following the operation. Since the beginning of 1937, encouraged by his earlier reâ€" sults, he has had patients, operated on under local anesthetics, get on their feet from the operating table. In a hospital at Brasov, Rumania, a man was operated on for the reâ€" moval of his appendix. As soon as the operation was completed he got up from the table and acted as asâ€" sistant to the surgeon at the same kind of an operation on the followâ€" ing patient. This is not an unusual gitvation at Brasov. Here the great majority of the patients get up from the operating table, dress, walk to their room or out into the garden and remain ambulant instead of goâ€" ing to bed. Dr. Livius Campeanu, surgeon at the hospital, has been working for years under the theory that it is not only unnecessary for patients to remain in bed for long periods of time after an operation, but that it is beneficial for them to walk around.

He‘s one of the biggest threats for this year‘s Canadian title, to be played at Mississaugaâ€"Toronto on Augâ€" ust 18 to 20.
