With Biggest Bombs LONDON.â€"Berlin was shaken by enormous explosions and lightâ€" ed by the glare of many fires in a long attack delivered overâ€" night by strong Royal Air Force units. ‘ Giant fourâ€"matored craft particiâ€" pated in the foray. ‘ "Some of the heaviest bombs"â€" probably in the oneâ€"ton classâ€" were dropped on the German capiâ€" tal, the Air Ministry News Service said, reporting raids from Frankâ€" furt to the Norwegian coast. _ "There were enormous exploâ€" sions when some of the heaviest bombs were dropped," the service said in describing the thrust at Berlin, "and a very large fire was seen near one of the main railway stations."

Contending that it will save the municipality over $9,000 annually, council, on suggestion of Ald. G. S. Raymond decided to continue its efforts to have business assessment eliminated in arriving at the counâ€" ty equalized assessments. One member of council pointed out that Waterloo‘s suggestion in this regard was turned down by the Ontario Municipal Association convention in Torontfo, last week. =â€"Waterloo endorsedâ€" the suggesâ€" ttonâ€"severai weeks Ago at Tequest of Napanee town council, but Mayor Brill informed council last night that such a move would have, according to O.M.A. deleâ€" gates made necessary complete reâ€" vision of the Assessment Act. "This has been a splendid summer for the resort hotels," the writer continues. "The same people will be back again next year if treated properly. Raising prices is one way to discourage a return visit, for the tourist who stays at a hotel spends considerable money above his hotel accommodation. . . . No man should be denied an honest profit. But to take advanâ€" tage of a situation for temporary gain is stupid in the extreme. When every man in a city is out for himself, the day will ultimately come when that city is out by itselfâ€"and behind all the rest." soOUTH AFRICA TO is subject to a timely editorial in Stratford Beaconâ€" Herald by W. H. Colclough, who cites examples of ridiculously inflated charges for ordinary articles, encountered in a prosperous locality "losing business by the silly practice of trying to take advantage of visitors." The truth of this contention is demonstrated by the different policy followed in Quebec, where a oneâ€" price standard seems to be maintained. In the shopâ€" ping district of Quebec city, for example, the dry goods, novelty shops, restaurants and other establishâ€" ments catering to visitors display surprisingly atâ€" tractive prices, while taxi fares, charges for sightâ€" seeing trips and all that sort of thing are quite reasonâ€" able. It may be a coincidence, but the streets of Quebec city are full of motor cars from numerous States of the Union, and the principal hotels, includâ€" ing the immense Chateau Frontenac, are absolutely full at the present time. Montreal appears to have a similar influx. The treatment of visitors in that province, in respect of prices and every other way, is su@h as to inspire a desire to return, and that is more profitable in the long run, as well as more conâ€" ducive to our selfâ€"respect, than treating tourists, foreign or Canadian, as suckers.â€"Galt Reporter.

(By Chronicle Correspondent) Munitions Unit But with the Japanese Government making the molehill of a few American supplies for Russia not only into a mountain but a potential volcano, this welcome gesture may mean moreâ€"or lessâ€"than a straightforward desire to end Tokyoâ€"Washington tenâ€" sion. Japan might have complained about embargoes, freezing of assets, higher duties on her goods, or American aid to China. She has chosen instead to make a "test" of the sending of oil to Viadivostok. The amount of oil is not big and the Japanese people probably would not have heard about it, could not have lost "face", had not their Government made an issue of the shipment.. From the United States‘ standpoint, sending oil to Russia for defense against the Nazis is at least as reasonable as sending it for several years to Japan for attacks on China. Why does Japan make so much of it? Is she building it into a bargaining point, hoping to win some concession from the United States in exchange for allowing the oil to go through? Or is Tokyo planning to stop the oil and see what the United States will doâ€"meanwhile preparing Japaâ€" nese and American opinion by making a show of friendliness? Or is Japan making a faithful bid for a thoroughâ€"going _ settlement of _ difference _ with America? R We should like to lay aside every taint of susâ€" picion and accept the Prince‘s message as a sincere gesture of friendliness. But Tokyo knows that the United States cannot really enjoy Japanese friendâ€" ship which is expressed in continued allegiance to the Axis, continued movements of troops toward Indoâ€"China, Singapore and the Dutch East Indies, continued attacks on China. Until there is in Tokyo a genuine abandonment of Panâ€"Asian designs, Ameriâ€" cans must wait to see how much friendly gestures mean. Now comes the time when pride and tears fight for mastery on the mother‘s face as she sees her little lad or her little lass set off to school for the first time. For now there is a new interest in their lives. They will never again be as exclusively her own. They will face new perils and new temptations. There is a pang as she sees them go.
