cannot be too strongly emphasized that any per son who has bought a 100pound bag of sugar or any quantity in excess of legitimate current needs has done a serious disservice to the country in time of war and has in effect deprived his or her less welltodo neighbors of necessary sugar another result has been seriously to com plicated the handling of the peach and other fruit crops said a statement the wartime prices and trade board last week after an emergency conference with representative sugar refin ers issued a warning that any attempts at restriction or accumulation of supplies or at enhancement of prices will be met with prompt action there is ample sugar for all usual requirements a statement from the board said consumers are urged to buy normally and to proceed as usual with their seasonal canning operations sugar was the first specific commodity to be considered by the board of which hector b mckinnon commissioner of tariffs is chairman other members are david sim commissioner of exciseand f a mcgregor commission er of the combines investigation act the board acted after published reports of sugar storages in various centres and of price increases by some retailers the formal statement from the board said that retailers confirm there has been no increase in their selling price and that the present price is the same as that prevailing at the end of april 1939 they have no inten tion of raising prices unless and until the cost of raw sug ars compels such an increase the action of a few retailers who are reporated to have raised their prices appears to be wholly unjustified newmarkets court no angels dream the county has done everything possible to buck newmarket as far as the court is concerned says n l matthews kc clerk and solicitor in an interview publish ed in the newmarket era the clerk contends that the county court in toronto even instructs county police to go to toronto to swear out informations to avoid paying 25 or 50c to allen mills justice of the peace are paid or are entitled to 75c for each information sworn out and we presume mr mills gets that amount and not 25c however the com plaint that is made against the city court maybe levelled at newmarket too they are guilty of the very thing mr matthews complains if our information is correct con stables have advised us that they must get their informa tion papers signed by the j p in newmarket if they want to get anywhere and so it looks as though both courts are trying the same thing however its a small matter for a court anywhere to infer directly or indirectly that con stables must get their informations from the jps office where the court is being held solely to make a little easy money mr matthews thinks it is a piece of county poli- tices but it is probaby a means of getting a little easy money for the jp of the court four horsemen ride again the timeless words of the bible hold a new mess age for mankind today as they have throughout the centuries a great and terrible prophecy of which the world became aware in 1914 we read in revelations of the vision which came to st john a strange and aweinspir ing vision of history to follow through the ages in the fifth chapter o revelations we read of four mysterious horsemen and although only one of the four is named in the bible students haye found little difficulty in identifying these four figures befqre whom chief captains and mighty men and every bondman and every free man hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the moun tains t the whitby gazette observes that vicente ibanez in his great novel the four horsemen of the apocalypse names these terrifying figures as plague famine death and war the first three of these are known to mankind even in times of peace but the concensus of though appears to be that they are all given a new significance in the advent of war plague is described as an archer riding a white horse from which to shoot the arrows of pestilence famine appears as a miser on a black horse carrying a pair of scales death is a hooded skeleton with a scythe war is described as a red horse and revelations adds that power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth ibanez contended in his book that these four horse men were destined to ride the earth at intervals through out the history of man and their definite reason to war is sealed by the following passage from revelations i saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for he word of god and for the testimony which they held and later there was a great earth quake and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair and the moon became as blood the striking significance of these passages in their relations to the twentieth century is clearly apparent history marches on but the ageold philosophy of gods word remains to chronicle and foretell events that time holds in store for the sons of men army pay rates levels for privatestnon-com- missioned

ferguson owing to the present situa tion in europe special execu tive meeting of the canadian friends service committee met in toronto on september 9th several persons from york county attended there was much interesting and helpful discussion on the present inter national situation and on the national services which chris tian citizens can consistently render also on the possible ser vices which friends can give to any who may feel that they must take the position of con scientious objectors to war even though they may not be mem bers of an established and his toric peace society after much consideration it was decided that among other things a brief statement should be sent to our dominion government stating that in the present crisis of war the so ciety of friends wishes to re affirm their ancient testimony against war as contraiy to both the spirit and teachings of christ but that they most earnestly affirm that as loyal canadians they wish their countrys greatest good and are therefore ready to render the service which they believe is not inconsistent with their christian testimony erla toole richard carr roy stephenson potatoes irish cobbler shirley ogden rose allen

earl wideman the truth about television by g e cober re many people are led to be lieve we have television and think their present radio will be supplanted by a new com bined radio arid television machine others are of the op inion that only the modern new radios are capable of receiving or can be used in conjunction with television in answer to the above ques tions may i say that anyone who contemplates purchasing a new radio no matter what make or what dealer they wish to purchase their machine from can rest assured that their purchase will not be antiqued by television if tele vision were perfected today i can guarantee that even radios five years old could be used when television comes there are several reasons why we have no television at present nor will have television for some time to come the main reason is that an image cannot be sent or transmitted any farther than the horizon line for example if the trans mitting station were on top of the canadian bank of com merce building in toronto that picture could only be broadcast around an area of about twenty five miles another reason is the prohibitive cost and the short life of the cathode ray tube this is the tube that shows us the image or acts as a miniature screen there are many other reasons why television cannot be used successfully yet i shall not attempt to describe them here as they are too technical and uninteresting to the average person however until such as engineers can solve and over come all these difficulties can television become commercializ ed this will take years of research
