CANADA UNITED WE STAND This week we have celebrated the sixty-third anniversary of Confederation. Those three score years have witnessed a wonder- ful development in Canada. The struggle which our pioneer fore- fathers undertook to unite this country from the Atlantic to the these have been amply justified; and those heroes would rejoice to see the smiling country that is ours. Yet we shall not retain this happy condition without united effort. It is probably necessary to guard provincial rights; but it is also necessary to guard Canadian rights and make the sacrifices that are required to maintain our unity. United we stand: divided we fall. We Want the St. Lawrence Waterway It is pleasing to know, that no matter who is elected, we are to have the St. Lawrence waterway started--and carried through to completion. ~~ The various techanicalities that are being discussed and the matter of placing the blame for delay is really not important to the people. The fact is that the undertaking is a tremendous one, and no one has really expected rapid action. Naturally the Pro- vinces are doing all they can to protect their rights, and quite as naturally the Federal House is looking to see that the Federal rights are not vielated. hat is much more of important in the discussion is the con- troversy as to the route the deep waterway on the St. Lawrence. It does not appear to be wise or proper to speak of an all-Canadian route, because in the first place the St. Lawrence is in part an in- ternational waterway, and in the next place it appears~to be un- necessary to assume all the burden of the project when the United States is willing to pay its share of the cost. > The only excuse that ean be given for retaining the all-Can- adian idea is for purely military reasons. With this idea in view it will be well to remember that the white races cannot afford to indulge in war or any other dissension. Three quarters of the population ofthe world is colored, and that three-quarters is fast waking up, so that if we quarrel among our- selves our "superiority complex" may some day receive a rude jolt. \ - ~ AND VICINITY TY in the basement hall of St." Paul's Church, Uxbridge.

Clause 3 of the Ontario Weed Con- trol Act states "Every occupant of land, or if the land is unoccupied, the owner shall destroy all weeds desig- nated as noxious by the Regulations as often in every year as is sufficient to prevent the ripening of their seeds. If these precautions are not taken the Inspector may exercise his author- ity and have the menace removed be- fore the weeds mature. : R. J.

Blackshirts" at the coming (ana- een ()() (reser dian Chautauqua. Tom Skeyhill knows Mussolini-- the true facts of this handsome black-shirted premier's meteoric rise to power, Skeyhill knows the Fascist. He has lived with them, attended their secret meetings, marched in their torchlight proces- sions; he understands their move- ment and their soaring ambitions. TOM SKEYHILL Mr. Skeyhill is an impartial ob- server. He {is neither for nor against the ideals which Mussolini is striving to put into effect. He merely sifts the evidence and leaves judgment to his audience. Tom Skeyhill himself is a color- ful and arresting personality. He has fought and adventured over half the globe. Blinded in the memor- able first landing of the Anzwscs at Gallipoli, he became famous as "the blind soldier poet" of Australia, and in America for his services in raising over one hundred and thirty millions of dollars for war funds. He has the unique distinction of having raised twenty-three millions of dollars in twenty-three minutes at the Metropolitan 'Opera House in New York City. Later, his sight almost miracu- lously restored, he began a life of study, travel and adventure. He has been in the thick of three wars and three revolutions. He ran the lines into Soviet Russia and was there during the Red Revolution. He marched with Mussolini and the Blackshirts Into Rome through the gate that Julius Caesar entered two thousand years ago. He was in Warsaw in the heart of the Russo-Polish mix-up, and he was out in the Near East when Smyrna was burnt and the Turks defeated the Greeks. Mr. Skeyhill is a powerrul and [ dramatic orator with a gift for painting word-pictures that hold his audience enthralled. v meen) Qe ¥ An event of considerable interest to many Ontario County people, took place at 710 Coxwell Ave. Toronto, when Vera Edith Hazel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
