(the Czechs didn't even ask I'rinic Min- ister Chamberlain to send liini), this much is certain, that, while he It on the scene studying the situa- tion and preparing to arbitrate be- tween ticrmany and Czecho.slovak- ia, Hitler cannot afford to make an open move against the little repub- lic. 'Twould bo a bad breach of manners for him to do any such thing at a moment when ho is courting the favor of the British.

Wt'RE BEAUTIFULâ€" The well- known Knglish landscape painter, F. M. <le la Coze, arrived in Canada for the lirst time. Is full of praises for our country. He had no idea it was so beautiful. • « « Neither had some of us. Wo are used to thinking that far-uway ilelds are greener, more lovely than our own. We have developed an In- feriority complex on the subject of our own country and il3 beauties; we roll our eyes In the direction of Kurope or the States instead. Now that someone who should know has told us unniiuivocally that Canada Is beautiful, we may learn to believe it, to feel pride and joy in our ('anadian countryside, our own particular sweet corner of On- tario. BEHIND SCHEDULE-The Chi- nese may not be such hot fighters but they are managing to hold their own against the Japanese invasion. Their aim now is not to drive the Japs out of the country in a big of- fensive but to draw them further and further afield till the Nipponese war machine can be finally stalled. When the undeclared war besan, the Japanese military beads had a schedule doped out which must be adhered to If succes is to be theirs. They expected the campaign to last but a couple of months. Now, more than a year later, when Chi- nese resistance has slowed up the scheulde to a point where it can scarcely be said to work any longer, the Japanese chances of success are becoming smaller and smaller.

(Patrick Michael) D2wan, (prouriunced to rhyme with â- 'swan"). ' Th:;t farmors should Organize in their own- lutcresls is the message of '.'(lis public-spirited Irish-Canadi- an, boin a farmer himself (near Os- goode, Ontario) and trained from the e.ir'.iest .".ge to tho problems of a farmer.

In 1926 he became m.-tnajier of tte Oxford Cooperative Association, has ad- vanced it to lirst rank among such enterprises in Canada. He has also been a successful Secretary-Treas- urer of the Woodstock Agricultural Society. "Educate the People" Always Interested in people and events, Mr. Dewau was inevitably drawn to politics, lu 1931 he won a seat on the Woodstock City Coun- cil; in 1934 entered the Ontario Legislature as Liberal member tor Oxford; following last autumn's el- ection ho was chosen by the Pre- mier as Minister of Agriculture. Mr. Dewan would like to see the mass of our rural people live pros- porous and happy lives. Co-opera- tion, in his fervent belief, would help to bring about that end. His mission is to educate the people to its value; ho would like to have a staff of instructors go out Into the Province on an educational crusade for the co-operative movement, but In this he is sadly handicapped be- cause the government Isn't prepar- ed to spend money on such a pro- ject. {Not only farmers but people generally would benefit by partici- pation in co-operatlvf's, Air. Dewan say?). Wants Wheat Pegged Again, the Minister of Agricul- ture: 'If our young pebple are to continue to live on the farm, rural life must be mode attractive to them." At present, Mr. Uewau is urging the federal government to sat a minimum price for payments to On- tario wheat producers, as well as to western growers. He points out that the price for Ontario wheat now ranges from 35c to G5c, instead of 80c, per bushel. W.-.isa'.v, Polaiul, now motion picture tlicatrea.

If there is one species in par- ticular to which the Province of New lirunswick owes its inclubion on the anKler'.s map of the world it is the .Atlantic silver .salmon.

Patients Arise After Operation Rumanian Surgeon Has Been Successful With New Method Of Treatment â€" Believes It Unnecessary to Stay In Bed. In a hospital at Brasov, Rumania, a man was operated on for the re- moval of his appendix. As soon as the operation was completed he got up from the table and acted as as- sistant to the surgeon at the same kind of an operation on the follow- ing patient. This Is not an unusual situation at ISrasov. Here the great majority of the patients get up from the operating table, dress, walk to their room or out into the garden and remain ambulant instead of go- ing to bed. Dr. Livius Campeanu, surgeon at the hospital, has been working for years under the theory that it is not only unnecessary for patients to remain in bed for long periods of time after an operation, but that it is heneflcial for them to walk around. A Psychic Stimulant Since 1931 Dr. Campeanu has performed 3,150 abdominal opera- tions in which the patients left their beds on the day following the operation. Since the beginning of 1937, encouraged by his earlier re- sults, he has had patients, operated on under local anesthetics, get on their feet from the operating table. When operations are performed under spinal or general anesthesia the patients are on their feet the second day. They return on the sev- enth or eighth day for removal of stitches. Dr. Campeanu states, according to a report on his work in ''The Journal of the American Medical Association," that getting up im- mediately after an operation is a psychic as well as a physical stim- ulant and curtails tlie duration of disability. Among the 1,300 pati- ents operated on since January, 1937, llicre have been three deaths. Desert Yields 1848 Skeletons BeUeved to Be Of Eight Men Who Went on Expedition Into Interior of Australia For Seagram Gold Cup The skeletons of eight men, be- lieved to be members of an ex- pedition led by a German explor- er, Friedrich Leichareit, which left Moreton Bay, on the Queensland coast, in 1848, to cross the contin- ent and disappeared in the inter- ior, have been found in the Simp- son Desert in the northern part of South Australia by a ranch-owner while rounding up cattle. Grouped In a Circle Seven of the skeleton.s were grouped in a circle, suggesting that the men were around a camp- fire when they were surprised by blacks and speared. The eighth skeleton lay two miles away and tho presumption is the wounded man fled and later fell exhausted and expired. The expedition was last report- ed at Innaminaka, just over the South Australian border, thirty miles east of where tho skeletons were found. The South Australian Govern- ment is organizing an expedition to examine the skeletons, compris- Injr an anthropologist, ethnologist, surveyor and a cinemntographer. It is believed that torrential rains probably uncovered the skeletons. Last year, as the cut shows, Kulpli Guldahl got his hands on the Seagram (Jold (^up but that was all. Lighthorse Harry Cooper, one-time Hamilton boy, got the cup, the $5,000 cash and the Canadian Open Golf championship. Now Guldahl is burning up U. S. golf courses, retaining the U. S. Open title, winning the Western Open and leading all the golf stars as point' winner of thi.s year. He's one of the biggest threats for this year's Canadian title, to be played at Mississau.eca-Toronto on Aug- ust 18 to 20. So, for that matter, is Cooper, and there are a hundred other threats, including ace golfers from Bermuda and South Africa, coming for the first time to Canada.

Apart from an intensive adver- tising campaign, women are being asked not to walk with hntle.ss men. It is "primitive," .lay the authorities, for a man not to wear a hat.

There is really no valid reason why there should be any more discrimination between the sexes in taxation than there is in giving employment. Some day the provincial legislators may have courage enough to place both upon equal terms in the matter of poll tax. In the meantime, the fair sex have little cause to worry over the matter.â€" Barrie Examiner. The EMPIRE NO DEATH FOR ME Five hundred and thirty-six people were killed, twenty thous- and seven hundred and cighty- eight injured on the road.s last month. These figures will not mean much to you. You know you are a careful driver. You know you walk delicately. People read of the casualties on the roads as they used to read of the casual- ties in the war.
