With in- materials In 'this entirely new TOP; a trio of the giant British Democracy Will Outlive All The Dictatcrships NEW YORK -- Miss Irene Ward, one of the nine women members of the House of Commons spoke recent. ly to members of 'the League for political education at the town hall, and told them that British democracy would outlive the dictatorships of the European continent. For a little 'more than an hour Miss Ward spoke fluently, extemp- oraneously, giving her analysis of the Ethiopian situation, Nazi ambi- tionsy the significance of Sir Oswald 'MMosely, and the ill effects of the Versailles Treaty.. ; To the 'question "Do you find it a serious disadvantage being =a woman in Parliament?" Miss Ward replied: "No disadvantage at alr 'We have * complete and 'absolute equality, and my colleagues of the opposite sex make our lives as easy as they possibly can be." Most of Miss Ward's 'speech was devoted to a discussion of the part played by Great 'Britdin in' the Italo-Ethiopian war and to 'the ques- tions raised by Nazi Germany, She repudiated the suggestion that Brit- ain was pro-German at the present time and insisted that its existing government was definitely anti- Nazi. She believed that there was no threat in Great Britain either from Fas¢ism- or Communism, Barring the- contingency of an- other war-which she considered a possibility - though not a probability ~Miss Ward said she believed that British democracy would outlive the dictatorships of Europe. Democracy. she observed, "is the best form of government and it's been tried out for cénturies." Queer Birds The Johannesburg Star observes: Among the most peculiar breeding habits of birds are those of tre hornbills, several kinds of which oe. cur in the Transvaal bushveld and are abundant in the Kruger Nationa Park.

About ten days ago it was observed, however, that a yellow. billed hornbill had imprisoned his mate in a hollow tree stump in one cage, . Abqut 18 months ago two tree- stumps which had been' hollowed out for the purpose were closed at both ends and provided with an en- trance hole and a pecrh. These more or less natural breeding boxes were placed in the hornbill cage withoue any immediate result. The pair of yellow-billed hornbills referred to have now taken posses. sion of one stump, the female hav- ing been walled up in the usual manner. The entrance hole has been filled with clay, only a narrow slit having been left in the cenue, and through this the female obtains air and is fed by her mate. It is hoped that this domestle event will result in the rearing of progeny in due course, Great Names On: Old. Church Books "HALIFAX --Situated in what is now the heart of the business sec- tion of Halifax, 'St. Paul's Anglican Church, the oldest Protestant Chutch in Canada, constructed in 1750, has ben visited by many noted people down through the years. On the pages of the visitors' book placed 'in the vestry-by the clergy, can be found the names of royalty, statesmen, poets and admirals of the years gone by. Among the dis tinguished persons" whose names are enscrolled are those of King Edward VII, then a prince, King Edward VIII, as Prince of Wales, = Admiral Jellicoe, Commander Allenby, Sir Charles Tupper, Lord Willingdon, Bliss Carmen. Sir Sanford Flemming, and many others. To scan the pages of the book is to reviow the history of this garrison city. St. Paul's has a memento of the Halifax explosion of 1917. The concussion of the blast splintered a window in the church and the glass that remains in the frame resembles closely the profile of the first rector of this historic church.

Bread and Cheese Now Come in Cans LIVERPOOL, Eng. -- This is the canning age. In 1930 the canned foods consumed in England ran to 50,000,000 tins. Last year they had grown to 672,000,000 tins. Most interesting and most success- ful experiments have been made. To- day they are canning bread ana cheese and beer; not altogether. of course, as a sort of mid-day 'snack' but 'each in its airtight tin as victuals inviolable to decay until the neces: sity of the tin-opener arises. The successful canning of bread 1s very significant, it is believed. _ Gas warfare would mean the con- tamination of food, for even the best refrigerator is not airtight. It may mean survival and salvation to a war-stricken area that can rely on such_a source of supply. = DOGB WANTED ous WANTED----WILL BUY PUPPIES OF all breeds.

WEST, TORONT( The Graphochart Shows how to read character People Should Be Individuals Dorothy Sayers Emhasizes Atten tion to Requirements of Men and Women as Individuals=" LONDON, Eng. -- Women have proved that they can unite as a class to 'gain recognition of their rights as a class, and the time 'has ao" come man's requirements as an individaal _| person. a : This was the contention "of - Miss Dorothy Sayers, novelist when ad- dressing the London and National Society for Women's Service here re- cently. PTTL Miss Sayers went on to warn her audience agajnst running into the error of having an aggressively fem- inine point of view about every sub- ject "which crops up. Though she agreed it had been necessary for women to unite for "their rights", she felt to continue to put one class against another, women against men, was to split the foundations of the 'state. Peace of democracy depends on the individual, she said, but classes and categories lead to a totalitarian state where no one is free to think or act except as in a category. When one hears that women have more laid hands on something which was previously men's special prov- ince, Miss Sayers said, one must ask is it something suitable for them, or are they adopting it merely because every man does ft. Concerning the question of women doing men's jobs, Miss Sayers said: "The only decent reason for tackling a job is that you want to do it and feel you are the person who can do it. In the Middle Ages the whole of the spinning industry, the dyeing in- tire catering business, the canning industry, all the bacon- curing, were in the home and done by women. "But these and many other wom- en's activities have heen taken into factories under the direction of men.

Now a proposal for the estannsn- . ment of similar model farms on vari- ous seetions of Northern Ontario is advanced by Nicholas Ignatieff in an article in Toronto Saturday Night, in which he discusses settlement problems. "Central model farms, which woulq carry on an exemplary economy suited to the soil and con- ditions of the district are really needed," he writes, and he adds: "In Canada there is a afficiency of experimental farms, which are im- portant in their way. but of very limied value and interest to the average settler--they are too divore- 'ed from. practical farming," This is the view also of the local advocates of a model farm.
