Planes will be able to put mail on boerd the ships after they are well un- der way on the crossing and similarly will put out to receive mail while the vessels are still a substantial distance from land.

Bond for Martin lnsull Set at $75,000 In spite of a total decrease in the number of unemployed in Scotland, the need is felt, according to Sir Ar- ehibald Sinclair, a member of Parlia- ment, for a speeding up of the pro- vision of allotments. A further ap- peal to the Government to help on the work has just been made here by the Duke of Montrose. Clyde Shipbuilding Reports Uptrend GLASGOW - Seven Scotsmen are said to be on allotments in 1933 for every two in 1932 as a result of the activities of the Scottish National Union of Allotment Holders and the Society of Friends. It is claimed that 8880 men have found fruitful occu- pation on the land for their enforced leisure. Delayed by hard going, the brig was still far from land on Christmas but Santa Claus visited" the child never- -the less. Among her gifts was a pair of slippers from the cook," "who was a shoemaker by trade. Anybody who couldn't get a job, or who wanted to get to some other country, in those days could always ship as a cook. He didn't need to have any previous kyowledge of cooking." V After a long stormy trip the brig reached its island destination, sub- stituted the cargo of lumber tor one of sugar, and returned safely to her home port. Scottish Unemployed Receive Aid l Recalls Brig In her account ot a child's remi- niscences, Miss Payson told of the southern trip in her iather's brig, the Ceres Payson. It left Saint John with a load of lumber, piled high even on the decks and shutting out light from the cabin. Even in rough weather, although the load was higher than 'the rail, the men ran back and forth on ship as if a wall rose between them and "the unfathomable depths below," said Miss Payson. One of the crew was washed overboard at night during stormy weather. “Those were the days of real ro- mance, when the little ships could poke their way into small far har- bors, through coral reefs and up into mangrove-guarded river mouths, touching the secluded places which the big ships can never reach. "I have in mind now an inlet on a tropical island where our little ship lay tor a week, a sandy reef to sea- ward, through an opening we had passed, and a low shore, all dismal mangrove growth. There were two ways of getting inland. One meant rowing up a small stream after pass- ing the mangroves. At the other spot at which it was, possible to land there was a road with one building of wood, a so-called 'store,' and a cluster of huts like bee-hives, the homes of the natives." A contrast between shipping of the past and present was" drawn in a paper Miss Payson read before the New Brunswick branch of the Cana- dian Women's Press Club. Relating reminiscences ot a voyage trom Saint John to the. West Indies more than 50 years ago, when she was a small child, Miss Payson instanced the dit- ference between tt.TYest Indian trip then and one today., "In the old days we went aboard with'the knowledge that it would be many days, or even weeks, it winds were contrary, before we again trod dry land," she said. Wooden Ships Lay Four Deep at Wharves In Saint John SAINT JOHN, N.B.---Although this is a busy season for the port of Saint John, the number of craft arriving and sailing here seems comparatively small to Miss Stella Payson, who re- calls days when "wooden ships lay four deep at the wharves and the har- bor front of Saint John was a forest of masts." 1 Woman Recalls " Busy Harbor The truth is that a man is safer from harm in our forests than on the streets of a village. He won't be rob- bed or attacked there. He can find tree food and shelter and warmth In the forest.

Newspaper Style _ Many of the editorial articles in The Ottawa Journal, the Globe, the Mail and Empire, the Montreal Gai. ette, just to name a few of the dail- ies at random, have a notable literary style and need no apologies on this score. There are weekly newspapers that despite the pressure ot time and circumstances, are still ot distinctive literary flavor. There seems to be a tradition, however. that newspapers should not preterd to any literary style or carefulness, though it this were actually the Jase Canadian nemv papers would not be as good as they are today.--Timmins Advance.

The Province has about reached the end of its borrowing possibilities tor the present. The one promising solution of the problem is that some thing may be done in the way ot re ducing interest charges on the pm debt, but if alleviation is to be so cured only at the erpense of thoo who have invested in Alberta bonds, public sentiment will demand that the Government in turn should grapple more effectively and sincerely with the problem of reducing general gov. ernmental costs. Sacrifice should not be entirely laid on the shoulders ot investors-Calgary Herald. Anglo-Canadian Treaty The whole Canadian press should mobilize its forces in support of the Anglo-Canadian trade treaty. The pre- ference given to Canada in the British market constitutes the finest oppor- tunity ever presented to Canadian ex.. porters over there.

This is also the "aitaiN' of every one who produces things to sell or offers things tor sale. The business system without public buying power is like a 10como- tive without steam.
