Forty-five hotels and twelve clubs will not be allowed to renew thelr beer and wine licences, it was an- nounced: April 1st by Chairman 5 G. Odette of the Liquor Contro Board of Ontario. Continued violation of rulings of the board, despite numerous requests and warnings that regulations be strictly regarded, causes the cancel: lation of the authorities of most of the hotels, Mr. Odette stated. Decision of the board, after eare- ful study, that the clubs were being operated, "for purely pecuniary gain" caused cancellation of club authorit- ies, he said. y ' In the case of a 'very few" of the hotels, applications for renew- als will be considered if structural changes of the premises are made. The hotels are scattered over a wide-area, ranging from Timmins and Sault Ste. Marie to Eastview and Thorold.

MARIE, -- Canadi- an steel plants are bound 10 frenefl from a boom that has swept over the English steel industry, Lord -Riverdale, industralist of Sheffield, . England, said on his arrival in the Sault Sunday. « Conditions that have created a "terrible shortage' in the British in- dustry, necessitating delays of as much ag two years in delivery' of steel machinery, should work to Canada's good, the British peer de- clared. "We broke up our ships for sirap and now we haven't enough ships" he went on, declaring Britain faced a deficiency of 2,000,000 tons cf scrap and 2,000,000 tons of pig iron, Lord Riverside estimated the cur- rent boom would last three or four yesrs. The mills operated at 956 per cent. of capacity before the rearm- ament program was instituted, Now improving domestic conditions and an upward trend in export business have helped swell the demand. * But there will be no general European war during the next few 'years, Lord Riverdale believes. "May- be not for fifty yéars," he declared.

Australian Girl Touring World to Study: Its People Educationist in \ Sydney Agricultur- al Bureau Interested in Winni- peg's Activities, WINNIPEG. -- Miss Lorna Byrne, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from the University of Sydney, Aus- tralia, is very interested in this city because she saw the Grain Exchange at work, attended . the Manitoba Dairy Association's Convention, anil spoke to the Beekeepers' convention. Miss Bryne does educational work in the agricultural bureau, a divis- ion of the denartment of agriculture New South Wales, Miss Brine is on the last lap of a round-the-world trip financed by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, who gave her a "visitor's grant" to undertake her work of observation and study. The grant has taken her to Russia, Germany, .Poland, Sweden, the British Isles, the United States and now Canada. She laughed about the handclasp. "We have a frightful handgripping in Australia I've found out by trav- elling around the world. In England some of the women I greeted heart- ily T found winced." Because her job in Australia is to travel all over the state of New South Wales to help farm men and women organize to teach them what facilities are available for their as- sistance, Miss Bvrne has studied rural people particularly everywhere she went. In Russia, for instance, she asked about the large blue van that stood in a field. "Oh, that's the blue wagon," they told her proud- Jy. "Mothers who are working in the fields ¢ome here at noon to look af- ter their children." It was kind of a travelling nursery. There was work thriving every- "where in Germany, too, but with a difference. Though the Hitler Youth Movement trained children in camps, you had to admit it had its advan- tages when you 'saw "those sturdy little bodies". She asked the children if they liked wearing their uniforms; there was no doubt in the exumber- ance of their answer. Quakers Object To ~ Anti-Gas Drills Think They Give Children Wrong Ideas; Need Faith PHILADELPHIA. -- A memoran- dum issued by the English Friends' Guild of Teachers on the question of anti-gas drills mm schools, has been received by the Imergency Peace Campaign Office here. The stand of the British Quakers on the question is warmly approved by officials of the campaign and by Quaker groups in Philadelphia. "The Friends 'Guild of Teachers," says the memorandum, "views with alarm the possible effect of such drill, "It is inevitable that the ideas set up by such drill must cause great harm to children . . . by bringing possible horrors forcibly before them at a highly impressionable age . . . The danger of gas warfare in admit- tedly real, Yet it is certain that anti- gas drill must deepen our mutual fear and distrust and so help to destroy the faith that war can De avoided. "Without committing ourselves as to possible action in time of war, we feel obliged as educators to pro- test vigorously against any attempt to enforce anti-gas dill in time of peace on the child population, as be- ing pschologically bad for the child- ren and in every way opposed to the growth of right relationahips between the nations." "es in ta LONDON, Eng. -- The British taxpayer is resigning himself to an- other threepence on the incame tax when Neville Chamberlain, chancels lor of the exchequer, submits his gixth budget to the House of Com= ~~ il 20, But drastic increas. mons A tion are impossible, SURPLUS SHOWN : On a whole the nation's balance sheet for the financial year wus greeted" with something like a sigh of relief. Increased expendituye for armaments brought a budget deficit for the first time in four years. Bug this deficit of £5,597,000 was more than twice offiet by £13,127,000 used for debt redemption. On bal- ance, therefore, there is a surplis of £7,630,000 ($37,660,000) in or- dinary revenue ovér ordinary ex penditure. It is estimated that to balance the public accounts for the coming year, Chamberlain will have to raise an additional £30,000,000 in revenue. This at the present rate of trade ex- pansion could largely be met from increasing taxation revenues. ADDITIONAL ESTIMATES But there may still be supplemea- tary arms estimates to be brought down. It is assumed, therefore, that Chamberlain will not be willing to take the risk of attemp ug .o bal- ance the budget on the present bas- is of taxation. The Times editorially describes the £7,630,000 surplus as "a magnifi- cant achievement in a year when rev- enue had to bear the full cost of the first full year of intensive rearma- ment and continued expansion of the social services without the aid of borrowing." "But it must not be thought tha because the immediate prospec assuring," the Times adds, "t ing one quarter of the natig come in taxation should be r with complacency. False Fever \ Effects Cure - St. Vitus Dance Aid Seen In Syne thetic Treatment--Twitching Stopped . NEW YORK. -- The medical con- quest of St. Vitus Dance by use of artificial fever treatments was fore- cast at the first international con- ference on fover therapy. "ALL TREATED SHOW GAIN Electrical fevers completely stop ped the twitching in 88 per cent. of a group of 26 children treated at Northwestern University, . Chicago. All the others improved. This was reported by Dr. 8. L. Osborne and Dr. Clarence A. Ney- mann of ~ Northwestern University, and Dr. M. L. Blatt of the Univer- sity of Chicago. The fevers ran up to 105 degrees, last eight hours each and as a rule four treatments ended all twitching. "The prompt remission rate," they reported, "means that the period of hospitalization in St. Vit- us Dance has boan tremendously de- creased. More important is the fact that the patients are in better gen- eral health than those who have been treated with_bed rest, arseni- caly and sedatives." TEST KETTERING DEVICE A group of 45 children in Denver were given fevers in a hot air box in- vented by Dr. Charles F. Ketter- ing, vice-president of General Mo- tors. All improved and most of them recovered. This report was made by Dr. Frank G. Ebuagh,, Dr. Clark H. Barnacle and Dr. Jack R. Ewalt of the university of Colorado Psy- chopathic Hospital at Denver. Several types of arthritis were re- ported benefitted, and in some cases apparently cured with artificial fev- - er, by Dr. Robert M. Stecher and Dr. Walter M. Solomon of Western Reserve University Medical School, Cleveland. The patients who coin- pletely recovered received from two hours of fever each to 25 hours. A hot fog box for creating arti- ficial fever was exhibited by C. Coy Honsaker of Philadelphia, Water at 130 degrees is sprayed ni such fine droplets that the patient feels it with no more impact than the sen- sation of drifting fog on the face.. Although no one could stand 130- degree water, the hot fog droplets. were reported to be not uncomfor- table.
