In my opinion you have always issued a very fine newspaper, thor- oughly and faithfully covering the local news of this county ahd main- taining an impartial and construc- tive editorial column. In view of the constantly increasing popula- tion of this county I gm sure a local daily newspaper will be welcomed everywhere, and I wish you the same success for it as you have had in the past for your tri-weekly, W. R.

The continued support given by you to the Society since its founda- tion in 1925, has been of the utmost importance in our work. We be- lieve that many of our efforts would have proven fruitless had it not been for the help given through the local press.

Before they are li- censed all taxi-drivers must pass po. lice exaxminations in taxi-driving technique and geographical knowl- edge, "Cabbies" must know all squares; clubs, hospitals, main buildings, ho- tels, theatres, embassies, railway and police stations. They must know the shortest route between any two places within six miles, of Charing Cross railway station, which js ap- proximately the ceritre of London. "Another side of the training is the psychological factor," said Capt. F. G. W. Reeland, school secretary. "That is within police jurisdiction. Students' behavior is watched to see what attitude they would take to varying types of tustomers. "Their service and civilian records are also checked in case of criminal conviction. You have to be almost an angel to drive a taxi nowadays," Cable Mixup Starts Heavy Run on Hides By J. C. GRAHAM (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Wellington, N.Z., Sept. 30.--(CP) --How a mutilated cable led to a speculative orgy of calfskin buying by Canada, Australia and other countries was told in the New Zea- land House of Representatives by the Finance Minister Walter Nash. He was explaining restrictions which have placed on the sale of hides, pelts and sking in New Zealand, The flood of ofders from abroad, Mr. Nash said, resulted in the sell- ing forward of more than half New Zealand's output ot Balfexing for the present year in two days. Mr. Nash said the Dominion's trade in calfskins was traditionally with the United States and Canada, with smaller quantities going to Eu- rope, Australia and Britain, . When price controls were remov- ed in the United States prices soar- ed to a point where they became purely speculative and were un- related to value. A cable was re- ceived from Britain asking for 350,« 000 calfskins from New Zealand in the present year. Unfortunately the cable was mutilated in transmission and the time required to refer it back to London resulted in news of the request reaching Canada, the United States and Australia before the matter was clarified. The result was that orders to buy calfskins poured in from those countries at all sorts of prices up to 54 cents per pound. Orders were placed for 280,000 for Canada, 166,- 000 for Australia, 45,000 for Bel- gium, 6,000 for Holland, 2,800 for France, 20,000 for the United States and 20,000 for Britain. This meant, Mr, Nash said, thy ) insufficient calfskins were left meet Britain's needs and New Zea- 'land's own requirements, It had therefore been necessary for the government to impose restrictions on sales until a satisfactory alloca- tion had been worked out. A restriction was also placed on the price to be received by sellers in New Zealand. This was fixed at 43 cents per pound. The differénce between price and the specula- tive prices being offered would be paid into the Bobby Calf Pool, wheré it would be held for the benefit of producers. if TO A MILLION CANADIANS Congratulations TO The Times-Gazette Throughout the years we have watched with admirable pride the growth in service of The Times- Gazette and on this occasion-- your 75th Anniversary--when you resume daily publication.
