Outlook For Canada Good Current - Survey of Canadian Business Good In\general, the business outlook in Canada Is brighter in the view of a writer in the Financial Post, who says in part: JA "Despite persistence of irregular- ity and sluggishness In some fields current survey of Canadian busi- ness slows improvement predom- feating, and the outlook brighten- ing. The Inevitable "If-nowar" qual- - ification has become .the chief It not the only cloud of importance on the horizon. " The remaining spottiness that business Is now hopeful of clearing up is reflected by statistics avall- able for the first It of the year. They indicate that compared with the 'same period of 1938: Employment generally is improv- ing, 'though the average for the year to date is still below last year, Newsprint- production and ex- ports are higher, Iron and steel production are lower. Automobile output is down. Total exports are higher, while imports are down, Theso are only a few of the busl- ness indicators that might be tak- en, but they affect the Irregular course of the recovery." Children And Shove Culture A lady was trying to Improve the tultural life of the town's children. The commiftes had decided on a play, first, and then an opera, She sald, "We will get them to come to the play, and they will be e -willing to come to the. next per" formance. We wlll shove it down + their throats." Now don't shake your = heads. This'is a common 'idea about edu- cating our children to the better lhings of life. How to get thie dose "down their throats" fs a .matter of planning wherever the-atiempt Is being made. Every parent wants the children ~Jlo appreciate the classical. That Is, to know about good music, fine art, tho best books and so on. And what do we do about it? We tiptoe up to the child, catch him from behind and say, "Now, "here . Is jomething you may not like at the lirst, but down It goes." In doing 80 we are not a bit dif- ferent from the lady who tried to yet her audience interested in fine music by way of a dull opera com- Metely over their heads.

J A NATIVE RETURNS: Canada has few authors of note who have made any stir beyond our shores, and of these a great many are dis- posed to live in the United States "or abroad . .. A double "welcome home" is: therefore extended to writer Mazo de la Roche, creator of the Yo "Jalna" books who, after a long sojourn in England and the U.S,, has come back to live in Toronto. Her return boosts {remendously our literary self-re- spect. .

PROPAGANDA JITTERS: Italy and Germany are proving that it's pretty well possible to control the press of a country, to have noth ing printed in the newspapers which isn't to the advantage of the "existing _government.- Radio is a great deal harder to handle but the propaganda bosses through the medium of the Gestapo, in Ger- many for instance, clamp down in- exorably on owners of receiving sets who tune in broadcasts from beyond the country's borders. Art, the movies, magazines, the- atre, are similarly muzzled. But one channel that cannot be con- 'rolled, so far, at any rate, by Fas- cist machinery, is the postal ser- vice. Through the mediiim of the lotter-box, Hitler .and Mussolini "may yet meet defeat. Now Stephen King-Hall, British publicist, has, launched a highly organized correspondence service which sends letters to as many as 650,000 private individuals in Ger- many, giving them true news of the" international situation and 'a picture of Hifler as the rest of the world sees him, The letters are passed by the recipients into many other hands «+ +» and has Dr. Goebbels a head- ache!

INFORMATION One of the questions that event- ually pops up at all discussions surrounding the art of angling is "who invented the fishing reel"? As a matter of fact crude reels were used over 300 years ago. At that time within two feet of the end of the rod, there was a hole made to put "in a wind, turned with a barrel to gather up and loose line. The earliest type of reel with which we are familiar, consisted of a spool with handle riveted directly to the spool. These reels were made of brass and were 'without click or drag. Reels of this type are still on the market il at about one dollar. The 'mulitplying reel was an American jnvention, introduced. by a Kentucky watchmaker about 1834. . Black bass ~ fishermen everywhere still favour the orig- inal style 'reel, with few refine- ments. IpiGvptions such as free spool, Aevel Jwinding and anti- backofash deyices now are built.in, to these rdels, but the general construction remains the same. Also extensively developed have been the big game fish reels. |- These reels are now built in sizes large enough to hold 1,000 yards of 39-thread line, They are equip- ped with handles that turn one way only, and adjustable drags that can be controlled by the ang- ler. We have come quite a way since the first primitive reel was lashed to a rod. One railway in England is building 90 new engines, including 20 of the Coronation Scot type. . --when there is ' CRAZE FOR LIMELIGHT VOICE of the PRESS A FINE BODY OF MEN While of course, 'they are not possessed of what would undoubt- edly be the invaluable gift of ubi- quitousness, Ontario's highway traffic police are, on the whole, as fine a body of men as one can, find engaged in similar work any- ' - where, * hejr work is not of a sensa- tional nature. Unless the circum- stances are exceptional, the most * serious criminals with whom they deal are motorists who transgriss the provisions of the Highway Traffic Act. When they are call- ed upon to display courage they show that they can tackle -any- thing, from-a bank bandit to a murderer, ; And it is to their credit that the highways of Ontario are clean and well . kept, in the traffic sense.
