THE SCREECH OWL B.H.S. Magazine Has Shown hl Great Improvement in © 1930 Issue * The "Screech Owl' the annual gazine of the Bowmanville High School is off the press and a glance through its pages gives one the im- Pression that there is some re- markable journalistic talent among the student body of the school. In keeping with the trend of mod- ernity the cover has one of these modernistic designs executed by Morgan Lunney ohe 'of the school graduates. It is in two colors, red and black, and is headed above it's grim black base with a crescent bearing the owl in cap and gown, representing no doubt the educa- tion: obtained within the: walls of the school. Below this is. emblagoned also in zed, the school crest over the title in red and black "The Screech Owl" upon a stage with drawn curtains, Below is the legend Bowmanville High School and at the foot of the cover is the school motto in latin "Non Quantum Sed Say or "Not Quantity but Qual- y. Inside these covers the main in- terest is found. It is illustrated pro- fusely with cuts of the various stu- dent bodies in the school and also snaps of the more prominent stu- dents and the athletic teams. The editorlals are both well written and to the point while perhaps the most noticegble improvement. of last year's issue is the style and quality of poetry, "Who's Who by Muriel Henderson, is very clever and the humorous section entitled "Chuck- les" by Ada Allin is also worthy of mention. Some very short stories appear in the issue together with 4 an'account of many of the activities of the school. Marion Rickard as Exchange Editor bas made some pithy comment on th issues of other schools and many of her remarks will likely be followed next year. Of course in the future numbers of the other school magazines will appear likely some caustic erit- fcism of the Screech Owl but ag we seet it there is little fault to find and the whole is a great credit to the staff who supervised its publi- cation, Thig staff is ag follows: Con- sulting Editor, Miss E.

TRADE OBSTACLES OF OWN MAKING Really Nothing to Prevent Inter-Empire Commerce, Says Winnipeg Editor London, June 7.--"Britain open- ed its markets to us when the rest of the world closed them, and it Las taken a good deal of censure in un 'extremely good humored way because it would not do more, sajd John W. Dafoe, editor of the Manitoba Free Press, Winnipeg, in speaking at 'a banquet given by the Royal Empire Society in honor of the visiting delegates to the Im- perial Press couference. "It is for you," continued Mr. Dafoe; "to decide your own policy in your own interests. Whatever your docision may be, T think Can~ ada will be. willing to accept it "nd to co-operate.' r. Dafoe declared the only ob- stacles in the way of Empire trade were 'those of our own making.' "it Empire trade is so import- ant and.so valuable as an Empire binder, then why don't we trade? No external power has forbidden Empire trade," The Winnipeg editor avowed that he, for one, had no grievance against Great Britain in the matter trade. During the 63 years of Can- ada's existence as a nation, he said, Britain had bought more than five billion doMars' worth more goods from Canada than Canadians had bought from Britain, HISTORY TEXTBOOK BIASED Mdhtreal, June 7.~----Promotion of the writing of an authorifatve world history for use in Canadian schools was suggested by Miss W.

Raoul _Dandurand Tells of Problems Solved "Since 1924 Ottawa, June 7,~~Hon, Raoul Dapdurand; who has returned from attendance at the Council of the League of Nations, gave a graphic description of European conditions in 1924 and how the problem had been solved and a better feeling prapluced during the past six years through the work of the League of Nations and European statesmen. European Minorities On the question of European minorities, Senator Dandurand said there were 25,000,000 Europeans who were now living in other than their mother countries. It was a great problem, he said, to protect three minorities, Canada's repre- pentative had been active in this work and brought the peculiar situ- ation of these people before the council of the League and secured consideration of their problems. The rights of appeal of minorities had been recognized. Canada's ac- tivity in this work had been most beneficial, he said, and created an interest throughout Europe. It had brought confidence in the League of Nations in that it was solving the problem of minorities, In 1924, Senator Dandurand said, there were many problems in Eur- ope that threatened the peace of the world German was sullen; Poland dissatisfied; there was trouble in the Balkans; and also in the small Baltic states. He point- ed out that the trouble between Lithuania and Poland had been in a great measure settled. In Poland itself, he sald, the problem of Ukrainian schools was very difficult. Under Austrian rule, Ukrainians in Galicia, naw part of Poland, had their own schools. Poland impos- ed a bilingual system of schools, in which there were principally Polish teachers, little conversant with the Ukrainian language. Sen- ator Dandurand had suggested as a solution that they establish nor- mal sohools in Galicia to educate efficient, bilingual teachers. Ownership of Land Other problems settled had been the ownership of the land by the peasants in Eastern Europe; the rights of Magyar estate owners, in Transylvania; the reparations pro- blem between Germany and the Allies and also between Austria, Bulgaria and Hungary on one hand. and Czecho-Slovakia, Roumania and Serbian on the other. Czecho- Slov- akia had solved its German minor- ity problem by giving representa- tion in the cabinet to them, The Serbia-Bulgaria frontier trouble had caused much worry, but a com- mission had been established to se- cure a settlement. Senator Dandurand was convine- ed that Germany could carry the financial burden Imposed under the last reparations agreement, and that Germany in self-interest would stand by its obligations. Any debts cancelation among the Allies would give Germany a substantial redue- tion in reparations payments, He did not expect there would be much reduction by the United States in debts owing that country for at least 15 years. This was the opin- fon of former President Poincare, but there was a posihility that af- ter that time the United States would deal more leniently with its debtors. Prosnects of Peace He sald the Geneva atmosphere 'was permeating Europe, In proof of this he advanced the general ac- ceptance in Europe of the Briand plan, which was a replica of the pan- American Union, Peace rest- ed principally, he sald, on Ger- many's will for peace. No party was now strong enough {n Germany te impose a military structure. The masses in Germany were for- getting the military mind and their ambition was directed more to- wards commercial and industrial improvement. rr ---- BOOST ONTARI APPLE EXPORTS Need For Regular Shipments and Distinctive Brand is Noted Toronto,--Steps will be taken this season to further develop the export of Ontario apples to the British and European markets and to place the business on a more profitable basis for the 'growers, ac- cording to an important announce- ment by Andrew Fulton, overseas salps representative of the Ontar- id Fruit Growers' Association who has recently returned to this prov- ince. In this tho Association will have the active co-operation of the Ontario Government. Premier Ferguson has taken a keen person- al in'erest in the development of this service to the Ontario trait industry and has been s0 favorably impressed with the prospects for a permanent and profitable export outlet for Ontario fruit, that he has agreed to support such extensions of the marketing service as may be necessary to put the business on & sound footing. "Ontario apples are considered hy the British buyers to have qual- ity equal to any apples imported into the United Kingdom," states Mr. Fulton. "This is a splendid asset in luilding up an export trade. When properly graded and in good condition, are apples can already obtain a premium over in good condition, our apples can often equal, the price obtained by our psincipal competitor, Virginia, If Ontario shippers will put up & workmanlike pack of high quality fruit, there is no doubt that with many varieties we could top the market." : Start Has Been Made In spite of the rather Hacketts matism, Bac of the 50¢ Dodds Medicine Co. Splendid Remedy For Kidney Trouble Nova Scotia Lady Praises Dodd's Kidney Pills "I have been using Dodd's Kidney Pills for a long time and find h lendid remedy for Kidney trouble," writes Mrs. G. B facketts Cove, N.S. "The DODD'S KIONEY from Faul Kidoets ty a At All Dealers, oon Mal from Tho market conditions that have pre- vailed during the past season, a satisfactory start was made in the sale of Ontario apples through the growers' own overseas represent. ative, The apples handled in this way increased over 120 per cent. greatly exceeding expectations. However, the year's experience has convinced Mr, Fulton, alsp the government, that full advantage of the seryice cannot be taken until there is an organized effort on this side of the water to maintain con- tinous shipments and also to offer the British market fairly large lots of the different individual varieties of apples. The importance of this can be understood when it is real- ized that different cities in the Old Country show distinct prefernces for certain varieties of fruit, and are willing to pay a very consider- able price premium, if they can get what. they want, If shipments from Ontario.are made up of a wide range of varieties, it is diffi cult for the overseas representative to place them to the best advant- age. Mr, Fulton feels that it would be @ decided improvement if he could be kept continually in- formed regarding supplies and shipments from this side, so that he would have time in which to ar- range the placing of the fruit in whatever were the best markets at the moment. Need for Ontario Brand Need for a distinctive Ontario brand, on all export shipments, is tnother point strongly emphasibed by the overseas sales representa- tive. A single distinctive provinc- fal brand with which the British trade and the British consumer would become familiar, would be a decided advantage over a large number of different individual shippers' brands as at present, 'In taking this step, Ontario would only be following her competitors like New Zealand and British Col- umbia, which have found this pol- iey profitable, vincial brand is adopted however, it will become necessary to estab- lish very strict export standards oi quality and pack. Mr. Fulton found a wide spread in prices between well colored sound Ontario fruiy of popular varieties, and the price paid for poorly packed, damaged, or unattractively pdcked fruit of the same varieties,' To facilitate improvement along this line ahd '0 make a definite start in the matter, it i8 planned to make use of a central packing house for export apples, in Durham_ county this geason. Jn addition to high stand. ards of quality, it is necessary to have a uniform tight pack in bar- rels designed for the overseas trade, The Association is working on a plan to provide adequate financial facilities for shippers who are in- terested in the overseas trade, At the present time Ontario shippers are almost forced to place their fruit through certain British im- vorting concerns which offer thet advances at harvesting time to carry the necessary expenses of that period. U. OF T. T0 ABOLISH FIRST YEAR PASS Honor Degree Will Be Establised Toronto, June 7~Abolition of the teaching of first year of the pass course of Arts and the establish- As soon as a pro- | ment, possibly in 1931, of a new gen- eral course leading to an honor de- gree were announced last night by Sir Robert Falconer, president of the University of Toronto, speaking to a re-union of University College grad- uates in Hart House. Rapidly increasing attendance which is causing a strain on staff and equipment and the fact that the work of the first year pass can be and is being done in the high schools and collegiate institutes cf the prov- ince were the main factors in the decision of the faculty of arts, which has been accepted by the senate and board of governors and now lacks on ly the endorsation of the department of education, This development, which Sir Rob- ert described as one of the mest im- portant academic changes of recent years, was the direct result of con- sideration and study of new educa- tional tendencies during the winter just past although some suhch change had been thought of for two or three. years, He stated that it might be assumed that it would go forward to completion, although this was the first announcement of the decision of the governing bodies of the univer- sity. Details of the plan were already being considered by the sister institu- tions in the province, he said, and it was to be hoped that they would receive the suggestions favorably, that the educational standard .of the whole province might be uniformly improved.
