But it told a good deal, It came from Amule:, Sask, and said that farmers of: that district were shipping truck- loads of carrots to less fortunate farmers in the north, In dried.out years -- and Amulet had its share of them -- farmers there received sup- plies of vegetables from other sec- tions. 'Now they find themselves in a position to help and they know where others are who need help, so they are keeping the thing going. It is well that those farmers in Sas. katchewan shipped vegetables to those in need; it is iwell that some person who heard about it had the good sense to see that it got in the newspapers.

FLYING DOCTORS In Canada we have no official *'fly- ing doctor" service such as Australia possesses, but invaluable aid has been rendered for some considerable time past by the Canadian Alrways Ser- vice. The ambulance notes of the company contain scores of records of flights, varying in length from ten to several hundred miles, all of which were made in response to.ur- gent appeals for transportation and which in most cases definitely meant the saving of life, In Canada air transport has com- pletely transformed the service of government medical officer, as may be seen from a record of a recent tour of camps in western Ontario, when in less than four hours a doc- tor using a plane was able to visit four different pamps, carrying out completa {inspections and travelling 102 mlies, in less than four hours. Aeroplane service has also made medical service possible over terri- tories - which in bygone years were covered only by dog teams making) one trip per season, This is now re- " !placed by many trips per season in comfort over a vastly larger area at considerably less cost, and without the grave risks that inevi ably at- tended the dog team tours. -- Star, Montr~nl.

YES, WE HAVE CANADIAN BOOKS It is the habit of some of our Can. adian intelligentsia, when they fore. gather about cocktails or coffee, to speak with something like shame of the shocking sate of Canadian lit. erature It ranks, they would have us believe swith the literary production of the Laplanders; it _has neither tradition nor background, little past, no present to speak of, at best a mighty uncertain future. Nobody is writing. stuff that will live--outside, naturally, the ranks of those then present--and the outlook is black. Perhaps all this is true--we should not like to get intp an argument about it with this same intelligentsia --but certainly we are turning out books, even if they are not literature. The Toronto Public Library sends us a booklet of sixty.four pages listing "Books published in Canada, about Canada, as well as those written by Canadians, with imprint of 1934." In these pages there are listed, we should judge, more than 1,100 books. Forty pages deal with publications in English, twenty-four pages list the. French works, They cover a vast range of subjects -- philosophy, so- ciology, commerce, the sciences .and the arts, biography, history, travel, poetry, fiction and so on -- and any- one determined to persue all of them would find himself committed to ree a day over the year.

THE EMPIRE STILL ON THE UPGRADE Slowly, but surely, Britain is re- ducing her number. of unemployed. __Oflicial figures issued recently show that a: August 26 there were 43,000 more in-ured persons at work than a month pravious'y -- 244,000 more than a year ago. Thus the upward trend notice- able since the beginning of the year is maintained. . 'Since January the total number of registered unemployed has dropped by over 377,000. The numbers of unemployed on the regis ers on August 26 were 1,- 533,239 wholly unemployed, 334,419 temporarily stopped and 80,236 nor- mally in casual employment making a total of 1.947,964. This was 24,977 less than the num- ber on the registers on July 22; and 188,614 less. than a year before. The reduction during the month in the numbers of unemployed occur- red chiefly in the North.-Eas'ern and Midland divisions, where the im- provement in coal mining. was mainly felt. * TRINIDAD SHOWS THE WAY Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and those responsible for medical reorganisation ac.ivity in Trinidad have reason to be gratified by the manner in which this move- ment has spread to other colonies in the Caribbean, Barbados, the Wind- ward Islands, British Guiana, Jamai- ca -- all have instituted medical ser- vice Investigations of a more or less ccmprehiensive kind which are expec- ted to lead to important reforms. -- Trinidad Guardian.

Royal Betrothal The betrothal of Lady Alice Scott, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, to the Duke of Gloucester has given particular satisfaction to the whole of Scotland, writes a cor- respondent of the Glasgow Herald, but nowhere was the news received with keener pleasure than in: the Borders, where the future bride and her family are so well known and esteemed. i The bride-to-be spends most of her time in the South of Scciland, and indeed is not widely known out- side the Borders, where she hunts, sketches, and goes to all the local functions. One thing we are certain of is that Lady Alice will have her s:ster, Lady Angela, in her wedding retinue. They have a great lock of each other, with their clear fair com- plexions, brown hair and unexpect- edly black eyebrows, strongly mark- ed--brows which are said to denote the royal Stuart stock. Pretty Lady Burghley, tall Lady Sybil Phipps (always so graceful with: her wil- lowy figure), and indeed all five sisters (like the 'Duchess of York's sisters) have a strong "family look," making it difficult to say which Lady Alice resembles most -- typical Scott is the verdict. "SCOTT GIRLS" Though she has artistic tastes and abilities with which some of - the other are not endowed, Lady Alice is very much one of the family. She | has always. known the joy of having ! sisters' and brothers to share her life, a joy which members of large families take for granted, sometimes grumbling against the little annoy- ances and disappointments of living | in a crowd, though in their hearts realising a crowd's mighty comfort- ing in good times and bad.

The Duke of Gloucester has been such a regular visitor to the Duke of Buccleuch's home for so many years that he's already well acquainted, as we say in the North, with his future in-laws, and they in turn aretalready attached to him by the affeztion which ccmes with friendship, as well as by mutual interzsts such as hunt- ing, soldiering, and the simple life. Everyone knows the Dule to be a keen soldier, a good horseman, an adequate dancer (who is not over-| fond of sophisticated parties -- "pre- ferring a Hunt Ball to a night club), and a thoroughly good fellow in the pleasant sense of the phrase. Until lately it was not realized that he had the same diplomatic gifts as the Prince of Wales. He seemed just the typical British soldier with a taste for sports and a sense of duty, but the Jubilee Empire tour he completed this-spring proved him a man of many parts. Australians summering at home say that he was a genuine success not merely as the King's son but as himself--a sim- ple, observant, and easily entertained guest, who fulfilled endless public engagements without sign of bore- But we must not imagine Lady 'Alice's fiance is an inhuman "wood- en soldier," - Hasn't he a big circle of .liearty men friends, including his brother-in-law-to-be,- Lord William Scott, and hasn't he finally. shown the good sense to fall in love with a Scots lass and plight his troth--in the bonny Borders? If only they could 'he married in Scotland, what a great day for our country that would be! The Scotts are related to so many Scottish families that even were the wedding fixed at Westminster there would be a tre- mendous gathering of the Clans. A SAD COINCIDENCE - It is interesting to recall that the Duke of Gloucester was at Eton in the same house 'as the tragically bereaved King of the' Belgians, while Prince Paul of Serbia; now Regent in 'Jugoslavia (where the Duke and Duchess of Kent have been staying with him at Bled), was an Oxford contemporary of Lord Dalkeith, Another of the Prince's generation is Lady Sybil Phipps's husband, an old Life Guard, while another Scott much in the public eye is Lord Her-, bert Scott, who, as chairman Rolls-Royce, brings the farily contact with "big business." TO trace the ramifications of the Montagu - Douglas - Scott family in Scotland alone is too long a task to attempt here, but it's quite safe to affirm that one and all will give Lady Alice's husband a great wel- come and feel pride in their kins- woman's good fortune and "interest in the new life which opens out to her as a "Royal Higliness". into: They used to beat the swords into plow.shdres, But now they beat the plow-shares into niblicks, A checkered career often. ends in a striped suit. © The world contains an over sup- ply of average men. - Generally the fellow who makes the most fuss about the 'way the elections goes did not vote.

The slavery issue is always raised by the Power which at the moment hopes to annex part of Ethiopia. The charge was first brought not by lal, but by Great Britain, When France and Italy sponsoted Ethiopia for membership in the League (the black Empire was admitt- ed in 1923), Great Britain objected on the grounds that slavery still ex- isted in Ethiopia, At that time British feared that the Covenant of the League might interfere with their ans for control of the Lake Tsana In 1924, in pursurance to pledges made on admission to the League, the Emporer of Ethiopia published an edict providing the death penalty for slave trading and emancipating all children born of slaves. Slavery in Ethiopia will probably be eradicated in this generation. The reason for slavery i revealed in a passage of the Foreign Policy re- port: "One-half of Somaliland (under -Italian control) would repay exten- sive irrigation; but 'the natives, once freed from slavery, have been loath to work." Fishing, farming and Yunting are still free. So it is not economically necessary for the natives to work for a few pennies a day for some great Italian corporation.

First--If you. use gas plates "or portable stoves is the support for them of incombustible material .or protected by incombustible material such as metal or asbestos? If not, | heat radiation will frequently cause ignition. Second---Are you using flexible rubber' tubing instead ot permanent metal piping for connections. to gas mains? - Rubber tubing deteriorates '| rapidly, permitting gas-to escape and connections may easily. be broken -| with the possibility of explosion-and fire. If absolutely necessary to use flexible tubing be $ure. the shut off valve is located in the solid connec tion of piping only and not at the | stove. Third--If you had one of the . old type portable gasoline or simi- lar type stoves about the house, the simplest precaution is to get rid of it, as.sooner or later it is apt to cause trouble. If absolutely neces- sary to have 'one of these burners use the coal-oil type, 'it is much saf- er, and while we 'speak of coal-oil never start or hurry a stove fire i it, It is certain disaster if you 0. Fourth--Is the electric pressing iron kept on a metal stand when not "lin use, and are all connections in A-1 condition? It is a wise precau- tion to have a service light installed in connection with these irons to in- dicate when the current is off or on. Fifth--Do you ever leave the electric iron connected while an- : swering the telephone? More fires this than any other electrical cause.
