Polish Miner Glad He Was a Canadian (From Sudbury Star: Arrested three times in one day, deâ€" tained for hours under surveillanceo while grilled by guards, his money conâ€" fiscated and other indignities heaped upon him at the Polishâ€"German border, Bill Yemcihwuck, 492 Montague St., is glad he carried a Canadian passport and is a naturalized Canadian citizen, for without It, he fears he miszht even now be interned in some German conâ€" centration camp awaiting Nazi trial as spy. And, as his eyes shone with deterâ€" mination, Bill will never go back there again. This Frood miner wants no dealings with the trouble and unrest in Central Europe, as he reiterated his parting Lhrust at German officers when finally allowed to continue his homeward journey. "I speak English. I not come back here any more," he said. Credit Papers Back from a threeâ€"months‘ trip through Germany, Poland and the Ukraine, where he visited his" aged mother, Bill Yemchuck exuded his pride in Canadian citizenship as he gave his Canadian passport and naturâ€" alization papers full credit for his safe return to Sudbury, after hectic hours of attempting to make his way back from Poland to Hamburg, where he could beard his homewardâ€"bound ship. Germany, Poland and the Ukraine are torn with a mad desire for conquest, claims Mr. Yemchuck, and he is glad that he can not be called back to the colours to fight in any such outbreak which he believes inevitable. Bill Yemchuk of Sudbury Tells Experiences in Euâ€" rope. Soldiers, police and men in uniform strut their arrogant way through every street in the towns and cities he visitâ€" ed, claims the Frood miner, as they train, manoeuvre and spout militaristic doctrines of conquest. Army leaders breathe defilance, he claims, and from conditions as he saw them in various parts of Germany, Poland and the Ukraine, the Munich pact only delayed the incvitable flareâ€"up which must come with such demonstrations of miliâ€" tary might. But, while ‘the military cliques in these sections prepare for war, the common people shudder and clamour openly for peace. "All through Germany, and in Poland, the people talked peace," Mr. Yemâ€" THURRDAY, OCTOBER 20TH, 1838 Toâ€"da yÂ¥ Phone TIMMINS DAIRY People Want Peace this better, tastier milk! PROMPT.

"They watched the troops parade, but everyone I talked to said, ‘We don‘t want war. We want peace‘ But the troops kept parading and fortification plans were rushed." "I was taken off the train and pult under arrest," related Mr. Yemchhick. "The soldiers said I was a spy. They took off my coat and searched it. Then they ran their hands over me, looking to see if I had anything hidden around my body. They confiscated my money, $32, and when I was finally allowed to go, they gave me back only $18. They said I had too much and couldn‘t take it away with me,. They seized over 200 pictures I had taken around my old home in the Ukraine. Returning from Poland, the Sudbury traveller was held up at the German border at Baden. "They kept me locked up in a little office at the station," he com.inued. "After I was allowed to go the first time, I hardly went any distance until I was arrested a second time. I was again grilled and my passport scruâ€" tinized. I went about 30 miles from the border after being released this time but was arrested a third time, and given another grilling. I eventually got bick part of my money and about 20 of my pictures. All the rest they kept." Ordered Out While the German border patrols were suspicious of him, Bill claims he met with an even more hostile recepâ€" tion in Poland, and when on his way back was given 24 hours to get out of the country. The fastidious housewives of "I wasn‘t bothered when I first went over early in July," declared Mr. Yemâ€" chuck. *‘Conditions were not as tense then, but when coming back I was stopped by Polish police. They quizzed me for hours, because I had been in the Ukraine and they are suspicious of the Ukrainian people, who are atâ€" tempting to throw off the Polish yoke of oppression." It was difficulty with his Polish lanâ€" guage which first aroused their susâ€" picions, â€" admitted Mr. Yemchuck. "Poland took over the Ukraine in 1918,"* doclared Mr. Yemchuck, "and since then have been persecuting the people. The worst is the attacks against the Greek Catholic Church. Many of the Ukrainian churches have been destroyed by the Polish soldiers in their effort to bringz the people under the complete dominance of Poland. But the Ukrainians are looking for help, and if they can get it, will break away from Poland. They do not want help from Russia, because the Ukrainians hate Communism." "A policeman said, ‘Why don‘t you talk like me?‘" I tried to tell him that I had been brought up in Ukriania and had lived in Canada for 12 years, and hadn‘t kept up my Polish. But it didn‘t seem to please him. and he kept saying I would have to talk like him if I wanted to stay in Poland. I told him I couldn‘t talk like him. That I spoke English and was a Canadian, and didn‘t want to talk Polish. o they ordered me out of the country. They gave me only 24 hours to get out, too. And I went." Trouble is brewing between Poland and Ukrainia, believes Mr. Yemchuck, and he feels it will only be a matter of time until the 7,000,000 Ukrainian peoâ€" ple stage an uprising in an effort to break away from the dominance Oof Poland. "Everyone must be off the streets by 9 o‘clock," he declared. "If you are out after that, a policeman or a soldier tells, you had better get home to bed. Every third person you met was a solâ€" dier or policeman. It was some conâ€" trast to Canada, for when I landed at Halifax I looked for a long time beâ€" fore I could even find a policeman to direct me to a good hotel." Apparently fearful that the Ukrainâ€" ions are even now organizing to cast off the Polish rule, soldiers and police refuse to allow Ukrainians to meet alâ€" ter 9 o‘clock at night, the traveller stressed. The Polish people do not seek watr, emphasized Mr. Yemchuk, but they are looking toward annexing part of Czechoslovakia. "The Polish people are too poor to zo to war," he said, and displayed some pictures of Polish farmers, working in their bare feet and in disreputable clothes. The soil is not fertile and that is why they are looking toward Czechoâ€" slovakia where the land is rich, and the country prosperous. Poland has to expand." Mr. Yemchuk told of visiting some of the coal and iron mines in Poland, where the miner makes only 50 cents a day. "I woulda sooner work here only three days a week than have to work in one Know It‘s Best! All Housewives richness and fHavour ef Sees Trouble Ahead of their mines," emphatically ctated the Frood motorman. "The mines are poorly run, and the men work iong hours." Azriculture is still practiced accordâ€" ing to ageâ€"old methods, and little maâ€" chinery was in evidence on the farms, Bill said. "In Poland, all the women work in the fields, and at one place I saw them working on the rallway. They were in their bare feet, carrying huge ;ockp over sharp stomnes. I wouldn‘t want to go back there." In Poland he visited at Lamburg. Krakow and Krtowice. "Times are so hard, I saw people spliting matches into two to save a little," he related. "In the country sections, the old men still use tinder and flint to make fire. Comlitions are very bad. and everyone seems to be poor." Conditions in the Ukraine, and esâ€" pecially at Horadenka, where his aged mother lives, are much better, Mr. Yemâ€" chuck pointed. The country is dotied with vineyards where choice grapes are grown, while tobacco is also a cash crop which yields the farmers a good return. From his old home, he atâ€" tempted to enter Rumania for a visit, but rather than go through a lot of red tape, decided against making the trip. Tension Up In Germany for a week on his way back, after finally being allowed aâ€" cross at the border. Mr. Yemchuck noted an increased tension from the time he first visited Germany in July. Will you ever grown down little like I am? What do mosquitoes eat? What do alligators say? Do you walk when you‘re shooted dead? "Soldiers were everywhere," Mr. Yemchuck declared. "Even the little children were in uniform. Everyone was in uniform except the women. Fortifications were being built and planes flew overhead continuously. In Berlin, antiâ€"aircraft guns are spotted throughcout the city. I had my picture taken beside one in front of a larze museum on the Unter den Linden. I did not see Hitler, but T saw where he lived." Returning to Can?"a on the Stb. Louis during the Furovcan crisis, Mr. Yemâ€" chuck said the German ship‘s officers wore brusque and keyed to a high tenâ€" sion. He landed at Halifax and proâ€" ceeded directly to Sudbury, glad to aâ€" gain be back in Canada,., and deterâ€" mined not to return to Europe again until all threats of war were past. (From Armchair Science) It has long been recognized that it is rare for certain diseases to coâ€"exist in the human body. For example, those who have had malaria do not appear to develop paralysis of the insane; an attack of erysipelas has been known to destroy a malignant growth called a sarcoma. Again, people with a type of heart disease causing engorgement of the lungs with blood are never found to suffer from pulmonary tuberculosis. Gouty subjects are compensated | for their sufferings by being immune from tubercule. Most of the diseases unable to attack the body in the presence of another specific malady, are caused by microbes of some sort or another. We may rightly assume that the anâ€" tagonizing diseases, by altering tissue fluids which bathe the invaders, change this environment from a favorable to an unfavorable one. Alrcady one great advance has been made. People suffering from general paralysis are treated by being given malaria. They are bitten by a mosâ€" cuito and are allowed to run a temâ€" perature for a preâ€"determined period after which the malaria is cured by means of quinine, The results have been very favorable and this treatment is now practiced extensively. Sufferâ€" ings from a disease which was formâ€" erly inevitably fatal, now have a very fair chance of recovery. Why did God stay up to make it rain tonight? Doesn‘t HMe have to go to bed?

Durham Chronicle: We notice where there is a housing shortage in other towns, as in Durham. There is not much incentive at present to erect resiâ€" dences. If you own one the tax rate is higher than you can rent it for; if you rent it the chances are you may have trouble to collect, and if you try to sell you will have to accept less than it is worth, take a mortgage and have a hard time getting that paid. No wonder there are house shortages. Unâ€" der these conditions, there are few who care to build.

HOUSE sSHORTAGE EXPLAINED Use (Md Mcethods THE BORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, oNTARIO Canadian Minister to U.S. Sued for $300,000 by Son Leonard Marler, son of Sir Herbert Marler, CanadiamMinister to the Unitâ€" ¢ed States, is suing his father, claiming damages to the amount of $300,000. The writ issued by Leonard Marler is issued against his father, Sir Herbert, and against Dr. Geo. H. Stevenson, psychiaâ€" trist, and superintendent of the Onâ€" tario Hospital at London, Ont. The plaintiff‘s claim is to the effect that the defendants wiltully and by collusion, caused him to be detained in the Ontario Mental hospital at London, Qnt., from Feb. 17th, 1938, to Sept. 20th, 1938, a period of over seven months. During that time, the plaintiff alleges, he was deprived of his liberty and other rights and was compelied to labour with work gangs in the hospital, He also contends that steps were taken by one or other of the two defendants, or both, to hinder his intended marriage, although the said marriage was duly authorized by the issuer of marriaze licenses at London, Ont., on Feb. 8th, 1938. There is also request for damages on the grounds that the plaintiff was compelled to remain for the several months concerned with some 1,700 patients in the hospital. Further claim for damages is made because the plaintiff feels he is entitled to compenâ€" sation "for maltreatment of the plainâ€" tiff while a patient in the said hosâ€" pital, and unjust punishments by the defendant Stevenson." Barrie Examinetr: In the report of the recent Good Roads meeting held at Bigwin, just five lines was devoted to an address on low cost roads and their place in highway development. And yet, from the taxpayer‘s viewpoint, this would have been the most interesting subject on the programme. The case is creating considerable disâ€" cussion all through the province.

Peopled by 900.000 human beings, of whoim 400,000 have been frantically evacuated by local authorities in preâ€" paration for another period of turmoil and bloodshed, Canton‘s rise as a modâ€" ern metropolis is linked closely with the rise in importance of Britain‘s Hong Kong.
