Cadet corps have for years been organizâ€" ed in connection with the public schools and eollegiates of many towns and cities and they have proven helpful organizations in developâ€" ing the physique of the rising young generaâ€" tion and in giving valuable training to the caâ€" dets in matters of discipline, selfâ€"respect and reliance on themselves. In so doing the orâ€" ganization has aided in building up a citizenâ€" ship worthy of Canada, the sturdy young naâ€" tion to which we are all proud to belong. . The action of the Public School Board of Kitchener in sanctioning the purchase of uniâ€" forms for the school cadets in response to reâ€" quests from the boys themselves, has centred attention on the cadet movement. Some have become critical of the Organization since they learned that target practice was indulged in although the cadets devote a very small porâ€" tion of their time to it. The Waterloo nominations will be held on Friday, December 21st, and the election on January 1st, New Years Day.

J. Fleming of Toronto who was closely associated with him for years, said that the late Mr. Mackenzie had advanced millions of dollars to help friends who were starting life in financial difficulties and no matter the amount of his loss or how great the provocaâ€" tion, he was never heard to utter an unkind word of anybody. "A great nation builder has passed away, leaving an unequalled national record behind him" declared Mr. Fleming. _ "Ontario is sometimes told that the rest of Canada looks to her for guidance in matters of legislation. It is pleasing to this province to see that the prairie communities can work out problems that are pecuiiar to themselves and give older parts of Ontario many valuable tips as to the scope and possibilitiee of governâ€" ment." "The Saskatchewan law provides that when a farmer becomes financially embarrassed he may apply to the bureau for assistance in making terms with his creditors. But first he must make a sworn statement as to the value of his assets, the average yield per acre over a period of years, what he has done with the proceeds of his last crop, and much similar inâ€" formation, including the names and claims of all his creditors. The bureau then suggests to the creditors a pro rata distribution which it considers to be the best possible under the circumstances without incurring legal costs or crowding the farmer to the wall. In the western provinces of Canada the citizens are not unwilling to try out somewhat advanced proposals for the alleviation of conâ€" ditions if there is any possibility that they ‘may help to solve their problems. A debt bureau which is unfamiliar in Ontario, is operating with success in the province of Saskatchewan, being carried on as a governmental activity. "Special conditions surrounding farming in western Canada make the debt adjustment bureau an instrument of real value. In Ontario, with mixed farming so general, it would have much less application. Persons other than farâ€" mers, no doubt, would like to have such a burâ€" eau to turn to, but the bureau does not exist to protect debtors from their creditors, but to arrange matters to their mutual advantage. The law under which the bureau operates does not deprive any creditor of the rights he otherwise would possess, either of priority or of taking legal action to collect. The Toronto Weekly Star in commenting on it says: "The bureau has been functioning for only a year, but in that time it has dealt with 5,000 cases, involving an indebtedness of ten million dollars. It has also distributed two and a half million dollars among the creditors. While the Laborâ€" party made striking gains, one of their outstanding leaders, Arthur Henderson, a former cabinet minister, was defeated.

Last year, for instance, the Hospital doctors looked after an avérage of 253 inâ€" patients and 192 outâ€"patients daily. Quite a colony of ailing youngsters! And _ the expenditure â€" although whittled down to the minimum comâ€" mensurate _ with efficiency â€" was $318,917. The income to the extent of at least $100,000 depends upon the regard. which the people of )n: tario have for the Hospital‘s work and the generosity with which (hzy express that regard. Recent discoveries in medical science have called atteation to the great service rendered by dn upâ€"toâ€" date hospital through facilities proâ€" vided for research. Probably few laymen appreciate the amount of this work conducted under the muspices of the Hospital for Sick Children. Yet it is only by intensive study of the causes of children‘s diseases that the hospital staff has been able to establish a worldâ€" famous record for cures. Statisticy show that the rate of infant mortalâ€" ity in this Province has been steadily decreasing, until it is now among the lowest in the world.
