publishers notes and comments whats in a name do you know why this country is called canada- 1ms mav some day be put to you as the 64 question the encyclopaedia of canada says there have been many fanciful derivations suggested for it one from the portuguese another from the spanish and one even from sanskrit but the word is almost certainly derived from the huroniroquois kanata signifying a town or collection of huts it is first met with the narrative of jacques cartier in 1534 where it seems to have reference to the indian village of stadacona the name was applied to the st lawrence river which is described as that famous river of canada in robert merchants map of commerce in 163s and so to the whole country it became the popular designa tion for the colony of new france as distinct from acadia and it continued in popular usage after the british conquest what does the word ontario mean according to ontario government services issued by the division of public information parliament buildings toronto ontario originally was the iroquois word kana- darie which means sparkling or blue water it was used to describe the waters of the lake that is now known as ontario later kanadarie was corrupted to ontario and the white settlers gave the name to the land along the lakes shores for an everextending area a great hymn the 100th anniversary of the composition of the universally popular hymn abide with me was observed recently the words were written by rev henry francis lyte english divine and hymnwriter and the music by dr w h monk since abide with me was written scores of other popular hymns have been given to the world many of which at least run it a close second but it is doubtful if any hymn surpasses abide with me in the beauty of its words the charm of its music and its appeal to the christian heart the encylopaedia americana places abide wih me at the head of its list of one hundred widely used hymns scared and hungry a 115pound great dane ruled a baggage car this week for a distance of 240 miles beyond indianapolis where the leashed animal was to have been put off because of the dogs vicious snaps and growls baggage men were afraid to approach him or even to handle baggage in range of his quick jaws when st louis was reached an agent of the local humane society readily placated the aggressive traveller with a few kind words followed by two pounds of hamburger the dog said the agent had been just plain scared and hungry a statement which the released great dane promptly confirmed by offering his paw dogs of course are not too different from men a scared and hungry dog a scared and hungry man both will growl and bite this fact is natural and natural history has proved long before a frightened halffamished dog took over a baggage car or there were people who were in fear and not sure of their next meal if the road to a mans heart is through his stomach so has been the road to peace after every war for peace is more closely related to a mans stomach than some wellfed idealists might suppose when it comes to eating arguments butter no bread and any ideology makes pretty poor fodder there is some thing to be learned from the friendly great dane etiquette in court having had occasion to attend the various court sessions in the county over a period of years we have noticed that the average layman is at a complete loss as to the correct method of addressing the presiding judge this is to be regretted as the courts of law are the people courts under the democratic form of government it would be well therefore for the people to familiarize themselves with the functions and procedure of the law as it applies to ihe correct form of address to judges at various times we have heard a judge of the supreme court addressed as your honor your worship and just plain judge the latter form of address was closer to the correct one than the others but still not the proper form a judge of the supreme court should be addressed as your lordship and referred to as his lordship a county court judge is addressed as your honor while a magistrate is always addressed as your worship we would not suggest for a minute that familiarity with the correct terminolgy should in any sense indicate that the layman has been arraigned before a court as a defendant rather there should be pride in the knowledge of the operation of the courts and in the ability to use the correct terms when the occasion may demand farmers grouse but wont act the newmarket era less than 50 farmers in the county attended the meeting in richmond hill saturday night called by the york county federation of agriculture to protest the unprecedented increase in the price of feed grains the farmer is often heard stating his case thus big interests control the government and the farmer never gets a hear ing that small audience at richmond hill is the reason farmers never get a hearing they have a case but they wont press it the farmers are the largest single group in the country with the pressure of organized numbers they could get whatever they want from the government if the farmer is to be believed the opposite happens the farmer always comes last the farmer always will come last if that protest meeting at richmond hill is any sample of farmers in action numbers mean nothing unless organized organization means nothing unless backed by an active membership the night the meeting was called was a raw one with rain and wind for most farmers it would have meant a long drive to attend the meeting but what are those dis comforts when compared to knocking little pigs on the head or selling off poultry flocks because it costs too much to feed them perhaps the federation isnt what the farmers want but if it isnt is there anything as good or better in sight maybe the farmers thought that a protest meeting in richmond hill wouldnt mean anything but a good shout from richmond hill would have meant a lot when blended with protests from all over the province at richmond hill the protests of 500 farmers would have carried a lot of weight but 50 arent going to be given much attention from the look of the meeting at richmond hill the increase in feed grain prices cant mean much to the farmer were it not for the economic fact that production costs cannot rise while revenue remains the same without someone feeling the pinch the whole business could be passed off as it is the farmers are up against a serious situation but theyll get no sympathy as long as they wait for someone else to skin their cats and grousing all the time at the delay i the farmers have a case but until they show they are willing to do something about it all the talk on the concession corners isnt going to accomplish a thing balanced buying canadas import restrictions imposed november 18 and aimed at cutting our united states dollar expenditures will sharply influence buying habits in this country the import of some consumer goods is prohibited while quotas have been established for others capital goods consisting mainly of industrial machinery may be prohibited or restricted at the discretion of the minister of reconstruction and supply though at first glance these regulations seem drastic theyi are designed to correct our lopsided balance of trade with the united states in the case of quota imports expansion room has been allowed for the volume of goods coming from the sterling countries and if these sources are fully exploited canadians should be able to satisfy many of their needs from that area at the same time by spreading our buying more evenly over the world we are not only helping to correct our own dollar balance but that of all countries in similar difficulties goods which may be imported on a quota basis include oranges grapefruit lemons fruit juices potatoes apples onions and almost all outofseason fruits and vegetables no restrictions have been imposed on bananas figs raisins and prunes also in the restricted group are most manu factured textiles all leathers and many miscellaneous items such as clocks and watches cutlery toys sporting goods and smoking supplies canadians living near the border will find their inter national shopping drastically curtailed for all of these prohibitions and restrictions apply to goods purchased in the united states and included in travellers baggage sk u with a moderate measure of aus terity prevailing in the country and unrest in the rest of the world the fourth session of the 20th can adian parliament is meeting in ottawa confronted with an unusual ly important and heavy agenda which promises to provide bitter controversy and a flood of exciting news for the masses such as this veteran impartial observer cannot recall for many years at the moment three events stand out the trade and tariff agree ments are the most comprehensive in canadas history and these must be discussed the extremely ser ious ls exchange problem must be dealt with though canads vs dollar reserve still stands at 500- 000000 which is 100000000 more than when war was declared in 1s3 and that alone was not why parliament was not called since legally the foreign exchange con trol board has the right to impose import restrictions even if there is a popular opinion that parlia ment was summoned for gils rea son such restrictions could be im posed by orderincouncil but ap parently these were not foreseen when exchange control laws were established so that the government wants approval now of its action from parliament the soaring cost- ofliving and continuation of some kinds of controls are exceptionally urgent subjects requiring th at tention of the peoples represent atives these are all bitter controv ersial issues in canada and it is evident that excitement over them is reaching a climax but that is not the whole story of the new early session and in addition there are many other troublesome matters bound to be brought up for discussion and dec ision including the budget the question of oleomargarine revision of the income tax laws labor code revision of the elections act vet erans preferences bill of rights on human rights and fundamental freedom abandonment of appeals beyond the supreme court of can ada declaring the communist party illegal inguiry into the canadian broadcasting corporation national film board civil service commiss ion streamlining the procedure in the home of commons etc obvious iy out of this session will come a flood of news and much of it will concern directly or indirectly the everday life of the masses making this one of the most relive sess ions in canadas history a m rumblings of an election in the federal arena as well as in sev eral provinces especially in quebec and ontario followed the consult ation between premier king and the national liberal federation in ottawa in dec these reason that when premier king will relinquish the liberal leadership that he has held since aug 7 1919 his succes sor suggested here as rt hon louis st laurent will possibly call an election for next fall or not long afterwards before the presi dential vote in the united states though of course the new premier can choose his own timing with this in mind they argue that pre mier duplessis may want to get ahead with his election call before that happens noting that quebecs premier has summoned his legis lature well ahead of the usual date to meet jan 14th with the hope of completing the session by easter and his political activities being in tensified lately likewise it is ar gued that premier drew may want to hold the ontario vote in advance of the federal elections if held next fall the last quebec vote was on aug 1 1911 and the ontario vote vanee in 1917 though canadian government restrictions on imports will cut off supplies of dolls toys and many other articles usually expected by boys and girls from santa at xmas yet santa will not dissappoint the youngsters this year because it is learned that canadian stores had re ceived their supplies well in ad vance in 1917 m there is much talk behind the scenes on parliament hill now a- bout the need for senate reform in canada and it would be no sur prise to hardboiled politicians in this new session if action is taken to start such reform though so far the gossip has been in whispers a- bout such a move right now the senate is composed of go

cigar prices are rising in canada at the retail level and tobacconists expect cigarettes to move up too just as soon as present stock in the stores is sold in addition imported cigars are expected to disappear from the market since the wrappers for many cigars are received from out side sources such as havanna sumatra and southern united states one thing you do not have to smoke but with food its
