Davidge, as- sistant headmaster. To show the versatility of the ram, 'one member gave an impromptu address on "Competi- tion", which would put many a Rotarian to shame, and, which drew from the President and one other hearty approval and com- mendation, J. E. Cunningham, physical training instructor, Boys' Training School - Bowmanville, acted as master of ceremonies. Program opened with' a skit by Clarence Dupont and David Freedman, followed by a dance by Humphrey Halloway (the Kid Chocolate, himself); then ¢ame a mystery play, by the Jury boys; a mouth organ group, with Al- bert Smith, D. Grieves and Wil- Ham Martin; a skit by Thornton, Davidson and Alex. Snihur, the whole concluding with an address by Andrew Hansel. Those taking part in the play, which. was written and produced v the boys, themselves, were: J. Hallett, W. Simcoe, ~ J. Haw- kins, H. Hate, W. Hood, R. Stephenson, W. Harrison, Ww.

Total receipts of $13,006 in- cluded a legislative grant of $662 and municipal grant of $810. At- tendance receipts showed the marked decrease. Expenditures included $2,700 in prize money, $2,800 for special attractions, and $1.000 In wages and salaries. The decrease in current rev- cnue was attributed to local "nard times" and as these con- ditions disappear it was expected that revenue would again reach normal, To Guard Fences Mention was made at the meet- ing of the undoubted fact that many people, especially young- sters, succeed in gaining admis- gion to the fair without the for- mality of paying.

The statement came from ex- perts sent, by the Treasury De- | 'partment to Canada to study the manufacturers' sales tax. The experts, Dr. Thomas 8. Adams of New Haven, professor of poiitical economy at Yale Uni- versity, and E. C. Alvord of Wash- ington, formerly executive secre- tary to Andrew Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, explained the sales tax system to the commit- tee. They appeared at the special re- quest of Chairman Collier to give information on the plan which Ogden Mills, Under-Secretary ' of the Treasury, previously told the committee was impractical in this country, and unsatisfactory in many respects in the Dominion. Adams sald that the Canadian sales tax strictly was a "manufae- turers' tax" in that a levy of four per cent on all goods manufac- tured or imported into the Domin- fon was imposed. "It is not a turnover tax and does not appear in a direct visi- bly form in the actual sales," he said. MANY INGREDIENTS IN AMERICAN BEER Atlanja, Ga. -- Addressing a country-wide Baptist Young Peo- .ple's Union convention here re- cently, Rev. Robert G.

Here is what he claimed they were putting in it: alum, aloes, red pepper, oil of turpentine, lime, potash, saleratus, liquorice, hop 'pollen, saltpetre, arsenic, strychnine, water, alcohol, am- monia, honey, sugar, gall, japal, copveras, sulphuric acid, nux vo- mica--*all of these mixed up."

Recently, quite a number of such establishments have been reported as 'setting up. in business. While the parts or mate which they bring in from the Un States would be primarily dutiable, they would be available for a draw- back when the product is exported, The situation which has developed was not wholly unexpected here, The blame is placed on the British Government. It'stipulates that only 25 per cent. of "Empire content" is required in goods to qualify for the preference. Theres is no great difficulty in United States maunfacturers putting in 25 per cent, Canadian 'materials or labor in their product and then sendin~ it overseas as Canadian, It is recalled, however, that when, a few years ago, an Empire content ol 50 per cent. to qualify for Cana- dian preference was applied to cer- tain things, the British manufactur- ers protested most vigorously. It is believed here that such a provision in their own tariff would obviate the conditions they now complain of concerning Americans dodging their dumping duties, Helping Industry New York, N.Y., Jan. 22-Foreign manufacturers are expending large sums in Britain at present purchas- ing factories 'and sites for establi- shment of branch plants wherein their goods may be manufactured and thus avoid the anti-dumping duties, says the New York Times in a special cable from London, One real estate company alone has sold factories and sites valued at more than $2,000,000 and _megotia- tions are under way for other sites and factories representing mote than double that figure, the Times cable sdys, quoting the London Daily Mail, I Not only 'in the purchase of fac- tories and sites is Britain benefiting however, for the buyers of these are also giving British manufacturers large orders tor machinery and fac- tory equipment. One company has received an order from a United States firm which rims into thous- ands of pounds sterling, Then, too, a 'number of British factories are reopening after being forced to close down. One of the latest 'is the Grigg paper mill at Bury, which closed 16 months ago owing to foreign competition, PERSIA ORDERS HOSQUITD NAVY Italian Yards Are Turning Out Small Type of Battleships RBRAT IA Naples, Italy.--A "mosquito" navy is being turned out in ftal- lan shipyards for Persia.

For n years Canada has grown' the oats but it was not generally known that Canadian firms make the machinery and ship it to Scotland so that the oats can be ground into meal, un. til this survey was completed in an effort to show to what extent Canadian products are used a- broad. Another trade anomaly was un covered when it was found, ac- cording to information obtained today at the Association offices, that over 95 percent of the Oak flooring used in Canada every year, amounting to several .mfil- lon feet, originates, either in the rough or finished state, in the United States, yet Canadian birch flooring is so popular in other countries that it is being used ex- tensively in the [United States, Germany, England and Scotland, and as far away as South Africa. Every year Canadians spend millions of dollars on imported canned fruits and vegetables, yet Canadign manufacturers' produets in this line are appreciated to such an extent that one manufac- turer alone reported he had been exporting canned fruits and vege- tables. to all European countries for 40 years, and had even enter- ed the American market in spite of stiff competition, Another instance showing to what extent Canadian merchan- dise is appreciated abroad was re- vealed by the manufacturer cof a high quality woolen felt used by paper mills who showed that he has been exporting his product to all paper making countries a- broad. These were random brought to light by the survey which sh'ows conclusively, . that Canadian goods are highly appre- ciated abroad and, Association of- ficlals said, that is one more rea- son why Canadian should give preference to Produced in Canada merchandise when buying. WHY WRESTLERS. | HAVE SQUINT EYES Strangler Lewis Gives His Theory as to the Cause a dire cases Vancouver, B.C.--What makes wrestlers squint their little pig- like eyes? : This tendency is often noticed in mat men after they have been grappling for several years, and Id "Strangler" Lewis, one of the many, claimaints to the world's title, has a theory of his own as to the cause. Lewis says he suffers from this oye affliction, and so does Gus Sonnenberg, another top-notcher in the wrestling art. In fact, Son. nenberg is obliged to wear heavy glasses when not wrestling. Lewis contends that the eye trouble started with a germ brought from India by Jatrinda Giobar, heavyweight wrestler who invaded 'this country some five or six years ago. The disedse is known to medical science as trachoma or gsdnulation of the eye-lids. It was unknown, Lewis insists, until Gobar, who was tronbled that way, spread the in- fection here. | 4 : 'Howard Cantonwine,- another heavyweight wrestler, has had 008 ne's | with Lewis" theory.

Both teams speeded the play, and the body-checking was heavy, wit the result that both Holway and Weir went down for the count, : It was not until} the last three minutes that Queen's tied it up when Patterson streaked in fast to rap in Squire's rebound after the latter's brilliant rush, Tice's work in goal saved Belle- | the | | ville from a bad beating in firet period.

Varsity won out, getting the break In the third overtime per- iod after a game fight against odds, It seemed that when the teams started their sixth period of play that neither had enough energy left to get a deciding goal, but Ace Lenahan fooled all, especial- ly the Sea Fleas, when he strug- gled down centre ice, poked the puck between the National de- fence and then squirmed around to regain it and carry it into the cage. Lenahan dropped when he made his winning shot and piled up in front of the National goal. Before the Fleas could recover from the reverse, Skin Dewar drove a sifzler between the de- fence which located the mets. Then the Fleas came-back in a last frantic effort and cut their deficit to one, but the Colleglang hung on until Timer Bill Long sounded the final gong of truce. STATESMEN OF NEW GENERATION SERVING FRANCE War Time Ministers Are Steadily Dropping Out of Picture Paris,--Tne generation of lead- ers which has dominated French politics since the war days is steadily disappearing under the heavy hand of time, with new faces making their appearance in important world roles. The past year hay reen at Teast | three gieat figures fade slowly from prominence--Raymond Poin- care, Aristide Briand and Louis Loucheéur. Loucheur, Minister of Munijtiong during the war and ex- tremely prominent in the Cham- ber of Deputies for the past twelve years, died during Novem- ber. d Poincare, France's war npresi- dont and called the "savior, of the franc", has 'slipped into retire- ment. 111 health and the necessity for slow convalescence from an operation, have forced . him to rest at his little country home at Sampigny, in the Meuse region, far from the bustle of Paris. At tho same tile, by a stroke of irony, his political arch-enemy, A Foreign Minister Briand, whose foreign policy has never K quite pleased Poincare, also has found himself overshadowed by younger band more aggressive figures. M, Briand's long and arduous career is beginning to tell on him and he has not forgotten the sting of his defeat for the presidency of the republic last May. Replacing such men as Lou- cheur, Poincare and Briand is a small group of younger more ac- tive men, Pierre Laval, Andre Tardieu, Paul Reynaud, Pierre- Etienne Flandin, Francois Pletri and Louis Rollin. These men are not voungsters--they are in the forties and, fifties--but compared with the traditional veterans bf French politics they represent a younger generation, Premier Laval---40 years old and one of the youngest men ever to hold the" premiership in France--was hardly known tb his own people when he sprang into prominence. A quiet, almost ob- scure senator, he has become one of the best known men in the country. REVISED QUOTA IS HELD BEST PLAN British Farmers Hear Negotiator's Views on Matter London, Jan. 22.--The Govern- ment's revised wheat. quota scheme giving domestic farmers a fixed proportion of the Britishh market is, sb far as it goes, more workable than the original pro- posals, the National Union of Farmers was told at the annual meeting by a member who had been one of the megotiators with the Government over the plan, The farmers would have pref- erred assistance in a different form, the member added, but. in the present plight of the agrieyl- tural industry it would be wrong to refuse any assistance designed to stem the tide of disaster, The Government's scheme has been approved by farmers, merchants and millers and will be embodied in legislation. Ills Are Discussed Agriculture's ills generally wore ventilated at the meeting. It wag resolved to establish a sub- committee to consider the report of the MacMillan Economic Com- mittee, the report of June, 1931, which urged creditor countries to buy and lend more freely, and central banks and treasures to re- move hindrances to the reception of foreign loans and also to per- mit of a volume of domestic cre- dit which would encourage the market to take full advantage of any issues deemed attractive. The mover of this resblution contend- ed the present system of exchange had broken down with the result that while one section suffered from over-production the remain. der suffered from want, 4 HOWL IS PUZZLE T0 SCIENTISTS Wolf Makes Howl at Noon Every Day Except Sundays New York, N.Y.--Science is faced with another inexplicable phenom- enon. It is a mystery of some twen- t+ year's standig and it has to do with 'a wolf, : For the past twenty years, at the stroke of noon every day, except Sundays, Hucko, a lean, gray tim- ber wolf at the Central Park Zoo here, sits back on his haunches and howls long mournfully.. His are not puny barks like, the noises of lesser beasts, but chilling, re-echoing wails like the cries of his forefathers whom he left some twenty-twa years ago in the wilds of ths Maine woods, » A short time after he arrived at the zoo Bucko began his midday howling, and more recently he has been jointed in his ear-sphtting ef- forts b- three other wolves and two coyotes. The sextet is'silent every Sunday and science took up the cudgels. P- account for thig Sabbath dn LAKE PLACID GOOD.

Hockey, Canada's national winter snort, has perhaps, reccived more pjublicity this winter in the United States press than ever before. This is not only due to the fact that the Olympic games are being held for the first time in this country but also because United States hockey authorities are making their great- est bid for the championship by building the strongest team pos- sible, It was at the International Olym- pic Committee meeting at Lausanne, Switzerland, in April, 1929, * when seven other winter sports centres also competed for the honor of holding the Games, that the award was made to Lake Placid, due lar- gel - to this resort's long and sue- cessful experience as the preemin- ent winter-sports centre of the Un- ited States. The history. of .the Olympic (ames goes back to the days of - Greece's ancient glory, when its cit- izens assembled every four years to render homage to their patron god Zeus; to exchange ideas; and to en= gage in sports competitions, Be~ ginning in 776 B.C, and continuing the games were for over 1,000 years allowed to lapse during the dark days of the Middle Ages, but the classic competitions were eventually revived at Athens in 189.
