The term 'Best Seller," however, is a misnomer, It is one of "The Little Blue Book" series which may be obtained for the asking merely by sending a request to the Deputy Minister, Department of Health, Ottawa. "The Canadian Mother's Book" deals 'with the beautiful miracle of motherhood in a way that is at the same time practical and inspiring, interesting and illuminating, The presence of this book in Canadian homes cannot help but reduce infant mortality's alarmingly high rate, and give each homemaker that reads it a new sense of dignity in that high calling. While written particularly for mothers, para- graphs for the special attention of the Canadian father are as noble as they are important, 'Dealing as it does with one of the most inti mate experiences of life, the book is absorb. ingly interesting and any reader must lay it down with a feeling of reverence, There is something about it that places the chapters, by mental association, with the tenderest mem- ories of childhood, and leaves the mind obsessed with something akin to a breath of lavender from memory's most sacred gardens, "The Canadian Mother's Book" should be in every home in Oshawa where there are child- ren or where children are expected, It has, even, an appeal to the childless home which is worthy of emphatic quotation: iy "There are homes in Canada where children would be welcomed, and where they were ex- pected, to which children have never come, But these Childless Homes could find a Home- less Child, 'If we give our best thought and work to National Child Welfare, the time should come when there will he no Canadian child who never had a home," The volume's imperative reminder is "No Baby--No Nation," It is dedicated to Cana- dian mothers -- "The first servants of the State," A PRIZE-WINNING EDITORIAL » "Canada Has Achieved the Impossible" is the keynote of the editorial written by D. A. McGregor, editor of the Vancouver "Province" for which he was awarded the gold medal of- fered by the National Executive for the Cele- bration of the Diamond Jubilee of Confedera- tion. The judges were the Abbe Emile Begin, professor of French Literature at Laval Uni- versity, Charles Holmes of Montreal, and George Herbert Clarke, professor of English Literature at Queen's University. Mr. Me- Gregor's editorial, captioned "What is this Canada?" follows :-- There is color in all the streets of Canada to-day : there is music in the air and a fecling of elation and expectancy. 'To-morrow is the great day. Fifty years we waited to celebrate our jubilee, and when the time came we were too busy with a grim task that would not wait. So 'we toiled along ten years more. And tomorrow, at last, we are to celebrate. There is nothing in the way, this time, and we have made great prepara- tions. The country is swept and tidy, holiday dress is on, and across three thousand miles of woodland, farm and mountain we expect to split the welkin to-morrow, with our carillons and bands and carronades. To-night, with every ready to the last flower and motto and the" ultimate bit of Lunfing, would it try our patience too much if someone suggested that we pause for a moment and ask what it is all ? What is this jubilee we are Felgbrating 2 What is this Canada that i Ihaking such 2 to about her sixti birthday? Whence has she come? Water i cues bi ' What is this Canada? There is a question for Cana- ane ko § ponder. If they can not 3 answer it, who can? na , someone suggests, and thomgh that migh be debated, we are mot in a mood to A. A ill let it go. Canada is a mation, then: but surely some- thing more. Take a walk along St. Lawrence Maia in Montreal; stroll through the "Ward" in Toronto: saunter by the coal docks in Fort William: look about in Wiani- peg's "Little Ukrania;" mix with the crowds on Wate: street in Vancouver: them wisit Strathcona school and study the faces of the children you see there. How many languages have you heard? A couple of dozen. perhaps. And how many racial types have you met? Between a score and two score. A mation. vou say? A league of mations, rather! And you have wisited only a few small comners of Canada. . Yes, Canada is a nation. But she is more. She is an experiment. An experiment in nation-building; an ex- periment in assimilation. About 55 per cent. of our people are of British stock, 28 per cent. ave French and the others come from the ends of the canth. Out of this human alloy we are endeavouring to cast a people which will take the same temper as the British steel itself: - - 'THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, 19 We have nd have gone some distance our work---that we shall have here a nation that will be true to British traditions, that willl maintain the British respect for law and order and that will play no unworthy part in the British Commonwealth, Yes, Canada is a nation and something more. And an experiment and something more. She is an achieve- ment. Sixty years ago, working a little in hope and a little in despair, the Fathers founded her, purple haze of romance is growing up between us and the men of '67 and there is a tendency on our part to look on them as giants of intellect, men of prophetic vision who saw far and moulded truly. But the Fathers were far from supermen, hig were very human. They Quarveljed and made up, hesitated and fumbled, were elated and. despaired, The most hopeful of them saw before Canada only two possible destines: on the one side disunion, weakness, discontent, and ultimate ab- sorption in the United States; on the other, through the union they promoted, a nation strong enough to direct its own destiny, to remain attached to the British crown if it wished, to win independence if it chose that part, or, if it decided this was best, to enter the American republic on advantageous terms, The Fathers ordered things so that we might choose between independence and British connection, They never dreamed we could have both, But to-day we are British and our own masters, The independence the men of 1867 feared we might one day covet and the British connection they hoped we might maintain are both ours, Canada has achieved the impossible, Canada is & nation and an experiment and an achieve- ment. And she is something more, She is an inspira- tion, When the Fathers built up the 147 sections of the British North America Act, sixty years ago, they laid the foundations of the first federation within the British Empire. Never before had the federal principle and the British Constitution been linked together and there was some doubt as to whether they would work in unison. But Canadians have made them work, and now the two machines run as one, Not only that, but a number of other British Dominions have borrowed the idea, and the Canadian achievement has become the inspiration of the British family of nations, Canada is an experiment, an achievement, an inspira- tion, She is even more than these, She is a hope, the hope of her sons and daughters, the hope of those who come to her from British and other lands, seeking homes and a competence, She is the hope of the Empire, of which she might almost he called the keystone, since if she should fall away, the Empire would crumble, In a sense, too, she is the hope of civilization, Civilization depends on the maintenance of peace, and two of the most powerful factors for peace are the British Empire and the United States, Canada, as. the link and inter- preter between these two, occupies a strategic position, An experiment, an achievement, an inspiration, the hope of her people, of the Empire and of the nations, whence has Canada come? One might elaborate the answer, but it is easier to put it shortly: up from the day of small things, up rugged and dangerous paths to wide responsibilities and opportunities that make the head swim, And whither is she going? We are only sixty years from the starting point and too far from the goal to see it clearly, In forty more years, perhaps, or in ninety, it may be possible to answer, Meanwhile, one can only indicate the direction, The Fathers set the course for us when they decreed union and progress and bequeathed us a task that would try our mettle and develop all our nation-building ca- pacities, They left us high standards, material and spiritual; they left us great resources, They left us a way of discharging responsibilities and assuming greater ones, And if the wisdom of the Fathers has descended with the other things they have devised, it is so we shall go on, maintaining our standards, conserving our re- sources, faithfully carrying out the tasks that fall to us, We look back with pride on the work of our founders and on certain of the work we ourselves have accomp- lished as their heirs, We have an equal right to look forward with confidence, We have all the advantages the Fathers had, and more. We are of the same race and heirs of the same general form of government, We have their experience to guide us and we have been born to the federal system they had to hammer out for ourselves, Where they succeeded so triumphantly there is no reason why their children should fall. We have a sound basis for our confidence, a reason for courage and hope. But with our hope must be associated a re- solution to be worthy of our great destiny, to earn it by industry and economy, and to deserve it by prudence in prosperity and fortitude in the face of trial. Looking backward with pride and forward with confi- dence, and having sound reasons for both, why shouldn't Canada celebrate? DRESSING TO PLEASE A few days ago much space was given in the news of the claim that styles and cuts in feminine raiment are largely controlled by men. Now it appears that, to a large extent, women select and buy men's attire for store trade. That makes it about fifty-fifty--an ad- mirable arrangement ? As a rule the object of fastidious feminine dressers is at least to pass muster with the male element at reviewing stations, and with the masculine peacocks it is the feminine ob- server whose praise is sought. The matter standing thus, it is a logical arrangement for women to wear clothes that men have designed and for men to deck themselves in raiment that women have selected. EDITORIAL NOTES The annual turkey shortage has just been announced. The most dangerous word in this language of ours is "yes." Entirely too many girls get married to keep from being old maids.
