VOICE CANADA THE EMPIRE THE WORLD AT LARGE of the PRESS To Step Out Again .\ CANADA Motor Car Door Handles A Toronto paper recently called attention to the dangerous construc- tion of the door handles with which most motor cars are nowadays equip- ped. The shape is much like that of a dagger and the handle ia so attached on the fjont door as to point straight ahead. Several accidents hav- been reported in which those handles re- sulted in injury. Only a few days ago in Toronto a 12-ycar-old cyclist collided with a standing motor car. The handle of the car penetrated hi.s arm and it was necessary to obtain the services of a doctor before it could be rc- mpvod. There arc ton many motor car ac- cidents without adding unneces.sary hazards. It should not be difficult to design a door handle that would meet the function for which it is intended without at the same time serving a.s a danger. â€" -Owen Sound Sun-Times. Homicide Rate Canada'.s homicide rate in 193."> was 1.4 per 100,000 of population. Of re- cent years it has varied from 1 .3 to 1.5, or an average of less that 1'4. The United States rate is annually in excess of 9. Toronto Daily Star. Blasphemy "Swear not at all."

Even to Russia ten- nis is now being approved by the Soviet niid ii being encouraged amongst the youth. The world-wide interest in tennis is shown by the fact that thousands of dollars were spent by the news- paper agencies and newspapers to cable reports of the Firitish champ- ionships held at Wimbledon. .'V few years ago the nevvspaners would just carry a few lines of the final n-sults. â€" I.'indon Kre>' Pn-ss Just Nei(chbor<i!

Solvenly English One serious trouble is that few people regard it as necessary to pay attention to their speech and style of writing. They drift into solvenly methods that soon become a habit. Constant neglect of proper usage breeds a tendency to regard as un- necessary any effort lo follow the correct style, with the result that the language becomes a jargon. Can- adians are serious offenders in that regard. The deficiency is brought home strikingly in the communic- tions that come from the public newspaper offices. The average letter to the editor, if published as it reaches the desk, would be a shock- ing example of careless diction. â€" Sarnia Canadian-Observer. Cheese vs. Butter We have deserted the cheese fac- tory, the product of which is in good demand overseas, and thereby increas- ed the make of Canadian butter, which, in the British marked, is distinctly second grade. The summer of 193G will be one of readjustments. Many dairymen will no doubt go back to their first love â€" the cheese factory. With Canadian butter prices hov- ering around export levels the cheese factory will receive more favorable consideration. We are making too much butter because we are making too little cheese. â€" Farmer's .\dvocate. Always That Way It is always this way.

Praises Tlie Railroads It is, we think, distinctly to the credit of the railways that, notwith- standing the difficulties under which they have been laboring and which are clearly reflected in their receipts and earnings, they are displaying an increasing determination to show fight to their competitors in the con- test for l)usincss. When we remember what they have meant to Canadian development and progress, what they also mean in tho distribution of money, and how indispensable they really arc, the best wishes of the public in general will be, we feel, with them in their struggle. - IJrockviUe Recorder and 'rimes.

They are not a thing that can be described as "distant or indefinite." They are in operation, and by their means a heavy toll, detrimental particularly to the agricultural industry of this country, is being exacted by the British Gov- ei-nment. We agree with tho Presi- dent's enrnest plea for peace in the world, but from the practical point of view, would it not be more profit- able and of more immediate import- ance if he announced that, by negoti- ation or otherwise, a genuine effort to bring about a settlement of the economic dispute wn« to be made? - Irish Independent, Dublin. Sees Chess as Crime Reducer Would Teach Game in Schools to Prevent WINNIPEGâ€" Teach chess in the schools to reduce the flow of delin- quents through Canada's juvenile courts, says James H. Booker, presi- dent of the Manitoba Chess Associa- tion and leader in a ehess-for-children movement here. Besides being a deterrent to crime, learning to play ttie game would be a great factor in the proper develop- ment of a child's future life, in his opinion. Chess, Mr. Booker believes, would give the children confidence to overcome all difficulties. "It makes one think," he explains. Winnipeg's leading chess players are behind Mr. Booker in his efforts to promote tho game in the city's schools. Following the example of the association's president, they have offered to give their time freely in the role of teachers, basing their methods on the plan adopted at Mil- waukee, Wis., when in the past five years 10,000 persons have been taught to play. The game need not â€" and should not â€" hinder girls and boys in their studies, Mr. Booker believes. Two nights a week should be sufficient and not result in any mental strain. The children's movement champion has played the game expertly for a quar- ter of a century. Chess already has taken hold of yning Winnipeg. Dozens of school children are enrolled in various clubs. Of these, about 20 are .anked as first- class players and give every indica- tion of attaining front-rank places among tha Dominion', best players. Abraham Yanofsky, 11 • year - old Polish schoolboy, was "undoubtedly" the best child, chess player in the West, in Mr. Booker's opinion. A member of the Wi.inipeg Jewish Chess Club, Yanofsky has defeated graying veterans of the 64-square board and is being groomed to enter tho Dominion championships at To- ronto in August. Close behind tho North End young- ster were ranked two 16-year-old members of the Garwcll club, a West End association. George Palmer, the president said, could be ranked a strong "B" player or a weak "A." Clarence Blundell played a good "B" game. Palmer took up chess only a year ago. Now he is one of tho best play- ers in the club from which have come some of Manitoba's leading chess ex- perts. It has taken Clarence a year longer to become adept. Mr. Booker can name a dozen other promising youngsters, indicative of the steady growth of the love of chess among Winnipeg's younger set. Footwear Production Is Lower for May OTTAWAâ€" Canada's leather foot- wear production in May totaled 1.795,518 pairs a decrease of 270,969 from the preceding month and a de- crease of 237,233 from the corres- ponding month last year, the Dom- inion Bureau of Statistics reports. May imports were 84,589 pairs valued at $97,020 against 34,107 worth $53,775 in May last year. Exports totaled 26,351 pairs worth $62,625 against 11,897 pairs and $30,612 in May last year. The United Kingdom was the best cjstomer, t.iking U,88G pairs valued at $40,628. Christian Names For Dionne Baby Chosen CALLANDER, Ont.â€" The christiaa names Joseph Robert Telesphora have been chosen for the new baby boy that arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne recently. Joseph was chosen in honor of tha patron saint of boys, St. Joseph. Telesphore is in honor of Mrs. Dionne's uncle, Telesphore DemersT The name Robert is without partic- ular significance. Both mother and baby are report- ed continuing to gain strength. Mrs. Dionne hopes soon to be able to vistl her quintuplet daughters in their nursery home across the road from the Dionne farm house, where the new baby was born.
