E. K. McQuarrie, who served as an air gunner in the R.CAF, They were married on January 5, 1046, In In. verleith Presbyterian Church, Edin. burgh, Canadian stores are another source of delight to Mrs, McQuarrie, There is no system of self-service over theré, She has made one trip to Eaton's in Toronto and declares that she wants to spend a' whole day there as soon as possible, Can- adian prices seem very reasonable to her and when it was remarked that household supplies were be- coming increasingly difficult to ob- tain here, she remarked that San, adians were getting only a tagte of the conditions that British house- wives endured through the entire war and are enduring yet. Canada is still a virtual land of plenty and it is time that one should realize just how high is her standard of living in comparison with the war torn countries of Europe.

"The bar of good speech is desire to. inter est others--no one speaks for him- self alone," she says. "With proper training; almost ev- eryone can learn to speak attrac- tively and correctly. This is one of the things that' makes the work so exciting." Mrs. Briggs formerly gave many of her pupils instructions in seve eral languages since she speaks French, German and Italian, A speech characteristic she finds hard to correct ih pupils are idio- syncrasies; tricks in speaking that have grown up with the individual. Chinchilla Farming. Expands In Canada Soft, luxurious chinchilla--the fur that is rarer than diamonds, more preolous than gold--will one day gcome into its own in Canada where the two-year-old ' chinchiila-breed- ing Industry is attracting fur fare mers, The romance of the delicate, grey-blue *thinchilla, a mountain rodent which boasts the Andes as its homeland, reads like an eplc from the land of moviedom, On the entire North American continent thers are only approximately 25 genuine chinchilla coats worth up to $50,000 each. Since 1023 when the first six dozen chinchillas were brought to the United States, in an attempt to breed in oaptivity the animals which were fast becoming extinct in their own land, chinchilla ranch. es have sprung up in all parts of the continent, Now there are more than 20,000 of the animals, In Canada the Canadian Chin- chilla Company, with head offices in Toronto, hag opened the new industry and, with its ranches throughout southwestern Ontario and the Niagara Peninsula, sells pairs of chinchillas to would-be fur farmers, throughout the Dominion. nd: For Breeding "The United States and now Oanana are the only countries in the world - with chinchilla indus- tries," sald Mrs, Cecily Brown of the Canadian Chinchilla Company. She predicted there would be no fur market to speak of for at least five years because the demand for breeding is so great. Mrs, Brown, who was in the fur. farming industry herself for 14 years, sald women in several parts of Canada are raising chinchillas. She said she believed more of them would eventually go into it. "A woman is gentle when handle ing animals, she grows to love them and when she takes on a job she goes into it heart and soul." It costs $1,650 for one pair of chinchillas, but as they breed at least twice a year the farmer should be more than repaid within two years. The animals are clean, with no odor, and are vegetarians, They are not hard to look after but Mrs, Brown said new farmers should spend several days around the company ranches, leaning how to care for their animals, before take ing them out. Two years ago there weren't more than two persons in Canada raising chinchillas but today . there are more than 500, most of them in Quebec and Ontario.

A member of the psychiatric staff of Johns Hopkins Hospital and University for 16 years, Dr. Seliger writes that in the early days of his practice, not more than one alcoholic out of ten who came to him for treatment was a woman. Now the women are four in every ten. Answering the question of his title, "Are Women Drinking Too Much?", in the affirmative with examples and case histories, Dr, Seliger adds "what makes the spread of alcoholism even more imi« nous, is the fact that it is making its deepest inroads on our most in- telligent and most sensitive wo- men." Not a Prohibitionist "I'am not a prohibitionist,"~ he writes, "Alcohol alone does not cause alcoholism, except in very rare cases, No good purpose can be served by removing it from the public'by law. Besides our problem drinkers, there are 38,000,000 men and women in this country who drink regularly or occasionally without letting it. interfere with their work or thelr home life, If many of the moderate drinkers could not obtain alcohol at all I be- lieve, as has been said, 'they would release their emotions in more ag- gressive ways, or would turn to other sedatives more harmfu} to them- selves and moré disturbing to so- clety. Rl For the fight to check the rising wave of abnormal drinking, Dr. Seliger recommends not restrictive legislation nor moral appeals, both of which have proven unsatisfact. ory, but education and more intelli- gent understanding of the reasons for pathological drinking, He sug- geats that alcoholism be regarded as a public health em, like tu- berculosis and syphilis, - Twb Reasons For Increase Two 'basic reasons for the dang- erous in aleoholism among wo- men are given by Dr. Seliger, One is the chaotic and emotionally dis- turbing era in which we live--with two great wars, a disastrous econ- omic depression and new discover- ies of science to undermine her sense of security.

LITERATURE PAPER HARDEST T0 PASS Most Failures By Upper School Pupils Were In English The Department of Education re- ts that more than 90,000 exam- ation papers were written this . by 15,000 Ontario Upper School students, Of all the subjects write ten, English literature was the one that caused the students most trou- ble, officials report. Principal John McKellar of Lawr- ence: Park Collegiate Institute ex- plained that of his fifth form stu- dents there were more failures in English literature and botany than any other subjects, Oakwood CI re- ported the same condition regard- ing literature, with its second "low" as algebra. St. Michael's College reported that the failure percent. age would be up this year because of failures in Engigish literature, +Mailed Earlier The Department of Education stated that all Upper School results and some Middle School certifi- cates, were mailed on Aug. 16, This is an earlier date than last year by two days. Results might be issued even sooner, if the marks were not checked so carefully, Committee members read over a great many papers marked by asso- | clate examiners in order to Insure uniformity of treatment, Marks of each candidate are then reviewed | by a special revising bcard, Credit Standing This board often grants credit standing to deserving students who have failed a subject by one. or two marks, and have gained exceeding- ly high marks on all other subjects, It requires a staff of 175 persons, working overtime, to complete the results--marking, reviewing, typing andyinailing certificates--states the department.
