"Boy, was he good," com- mented several of the boys. "But he didn't fool me," replied an- other. Long before the train was sched- uled to pull in, parents were gath- | ering in the waiting rooms of the | CNR. ticket office. Once when a | westbound train pulled into the | station at 8:55 p.m. the parents | rushed outside, only to find a slow | moving freight going past. A chilly wind whipped about the people standing outside, but so anxious were they to greet their children, they just pulled up coat collars and tried to ignore the wea- ther. Others, a little more for- | tunate, waited in their heated cars | and listened to the radios until the | train arrived. Then a shrill whistle rent the air and a bright headlight knifed through the darkness at 9:10 and sure enough no false alarm this | time. It was the train carrying the 75 carriers. With faces pressed flat against their car windows, and eager eyes searching for their parents they came in. In about five minutes the station was deserted with no sign that 75 noisy and excited children had even been | around three minutes before. Supervisors Tired | Mr. V. Henkleman, Business Manager of The Times-Gazette | and Mr. J. Hare, Circulation Mana- | ger, were suffering from the lack | of sleep and their red-rimmed eyes were testament to this statement. "But they had a wonderful trip and we all enjoyed it," said Mr. Henkleman. Mr. Henkleman and Mr. Hare accompanied the boys as supervisors on their trip to Mon- treal and from reports received, they had a busy time trying to keep tab of each child. The trip, to Montreal, which was sponsored by The Times-Gazette, was the reward of the 75 carrier children, who, during the circula- tion contest, got 15 or more new customers. Last year the winners went to Buffalo and saw such wonderful sights as Niagara Falls, they year before they went to Canada's capital, Ottawa. | NERAL MOTORS LUNCHEON BY V. A.

Mr. D. M. McKinnon, Sales Promotion Manager, welcomed the | boys and girls on behalf of General | Motors, and congratulated them on a fine sales job in securing the nec- essary quota to win the trip. H. M. | Black, W. C. Teur, G. Aikman, who | are associated with Mr. McKinnon in the Montreal office, helped make | the carriers feel at home as they | mingled with them and chatted! about the interesting events of the | last three days. After doing full justice to a wonderful dinner in their usual enthusiastic manner, the boys and gir's crowded up around the stage to watch Tom Auburn deceive them again and again with his exciting tricks of magic. David Lowery, the card ace, was the first boy on the platform to help the magician with his astounding card tricks, 'but even David couldn't figure out just | where those cards came from. How the carriers roared with laughter | when the magician attempted | cut Brian Wilson's tie right through | with a pair of scissors without | spoiling the tie only to find that | it tore into four pieces. After em- | ploying all the black arts of magic | to put it altogether again, and | finding that each time its condition became worse and worse, Brian was 'in despair about his prized tie. Just as he was about to leave the | platform, the magician tried once more, and drew forth from his magic bag the tie as good as new while his youthful audience cheered in delight. Little Rae Hopkins was the next boy to assist in the show, and right before his astounding eyes, the magician caused things to mys- teriously disappear as the audience who saw where they were going rolled in their chairs with laughter. At the conclusion of the pro- grar me, the girls and boys expres- sed in a most hearty manner their thanks to Mr. McKinnon and to General Motors for the splendid time that they had enjoyed as their guests. It was interesting to note that 29 of the carriers were sons or daughters of General Mbtors em-| ployees. v Bus Tour of Harbor Earlier in the morning, the group | made a tour by bus to the harbor area of Montreal where they were quite amazed to find a great thick- ness of ice still in the St. Lawrence River. In the open channel, the swift current was carrying huge cakes of ice rapidly down river under the Jaques. Cartier Bridge towards the ocean. Chateau de Ramezay Circling back into the lower sec-| tion of the city, the next stop was made at the Chateau de Ramezay which back in 1705 was a fashion- able home of Claude de Ramezay, 11th Governor of Montreal. The carriers were welcomed to the Chateau by Miss Anna O'Dowd, and then spent a brief half hour visiting its many rooms and base- ment viewing its fine collection of articles reminiscent of early life French Canadian farmers had brought in their products for sale, vegetables and all kinds of flowers were there in abundance, while several of the farmers had brought in from their sugar bush great jars | and bottles of good Canadian ma- ple syrup. The carriers were quite delighted to listen in on some of the brisk conversation which was proceeding in French, and those who had been studying the lan- guage at school, were quick to hear several of the farmers discussing the boys and girls from "Le Jour- nal de Oshawa." At The Mid~:t Palace A surprise item during the morn- ing was a visit tp the Midget's Pal- ace, where they met Countess Philippe Nicol and her son Philip- Jr., who showed them around their home where every piece of furniture is of midget size. Philip- pe played the piand for the boys and girls, and then he and his mo- ther posed for pictures along with members of the party. Immediately after dinner , bags were packed and farewells said to | the staff of the Laurentien Hotel as | we hurried to catch the 3:30 train out of Windsor Station. Here we found waiting for us the same two beautiful coaches that had taken us to Montreal several days earlier. Quick eyed carriers caught sight of the big boxes of lunches which the men from Murray's Restaurant were loading on the train, and knew again that they would be well looked after during their trip home. The ride was pleasant and speedy, and again the happy group entertained themselves with songs and games and stories. Some of the mathematically minded boys, Fred Stone, Morris Fenton, Bill Rahme, Eddy Broadbent and Ken Smith amused themselves by tim- ing the speed of the train between mile posts. The highest figure reached, according to their calcu- lations, was 90 miles per hour down in the vicinity of Cornwall. At 9:05 the train pulled into the Canadian National Station at Osh- awa and a tired group of boys and girls climbed off to be met by par- ents and friends who were eager to hear of the activities-of the last three days. It's a great story, and | doubtless will be told 'many times during the next few weeks.

"several hundred" Finger Paintings Used In Studying Mental 'Unbalance | | Montreal--(CP) -- Finger-paint- | ing, until recently used as occupa- tional therapy, is becoming more widely used as a method for psychiatric diagnosis and to gain | insight into personality. For two years, the Allan Memor- | | jal Institute of Psychiatry has used finger-painting as a means of | diagnosis, and research into psycho- pathology. The work, directed by Dr. Ewen Cameron, is carried out by Drs. Charles Cahn and Bruno | Cormier. | sists in letting the patients work in | unobserved groups. Dr. Cormier ex- | plained that the patients are en- couraged to paint spontaneously 4 | whatever they wish and as often as | they want. They are later asked to | interpret. their works for the thera- pists who keep records of all paintings so they can follow each case. "Of course finger-painting is supplemented by other tests in many cases," Dr. Cormier explained, "among them the Rorschach test in which the patient is asked to interpret ink blot designs and the thematic apperception test in which the patient tells a story from sym- | bols shows to him on a series of cards." Dr. Cormier said therapists looked especially at color, composition, perspective, forms and symbols. | Color symbols vary with the | patients. Regains Perspective As an example of the work done at the hospital, a therapist related the case of a 22-year-old student of mathematics who had delusions {that he was marked for a special career. He was found completely out of contact with reality. His first finger-painting was a picture of algebraic figures on a | black background with no use of | color or perspective. After five in- | sulin treatments, his use of color | was orderly but still chaotic with | a large red question mark painted | across the paper. After further treatment, color was used in an | organized way and the paintings showed a sense of perspective. Another case was that of a young woman who suffered from amnesia | and schizoid characteristics, such as | seclusiveness and depression. | Therapists were flabbergasted at the first painting showing a black | dagger smeared with red. The patient received immediate psycho- therapic treatment as her painting was considered a violent projection lof suicidal tendencies. Her next | paintings still showed a pre- [ dominant use of black and red, but l.after two months of treatment her The Bonsecour Market was the [dad I -aseholds official said their | work showed soft greens, browns, and yellows, : A third series of paintings was The finger-painting method con- | that of a 20-year-old man with | personality disorders and homo- sexual tendencies. After three months of psychotherapy the pa- | tient did an abstract painting | faintly resembling a cave with dark | colors predominant, Asked to interpret it, the patient said, "the hole in the centre is the | entrance of a cavern. The two white spots in the centre are my eyes. I {am in the centre and there are | walls all around me. I look outside | and I feel that the landscape out- side is more real than inside." Therapists said the painting was | done at a time when the patient | was gaining emotional insight into | his problems. Nurses and doctors volunteer to serve as a "control group." They paint for a period of 10 weeks and doctors. Their paintings are. used for comparison with those of patients.

In Winnipeg, rye was gaining fractions, Publisher ] Known For Strong Stand On Munich Crisis By DON GILBERT Canadian Press Staff Writer London -- (CP) -- Rupert Evelyn Beckett, a massive Yorkshireman who eschewed the limelight but wielded power as banker and pub- | lisher, has gone into retirement. At 79, he has left the Yorkshire Post, one of Britain's most influen- tial provincial dailies, after 44 years as director and 30 years as chair- man. A few weeks earlier, Beckett gave up chairmanship of the West- | minster Bank, numbered among the country's "Big Five." At his last annual meeting of the Yorkshire Post, Beckett recalled some of the difficult decisions that had to be made over the years and gave his idea of what a good news- paper should be. Such a "brittle thing" as a news- paper, he said, depends for success on efficient management on its technical side and a nice balance | | of news values to make it popular | without being sensational. ! He said he had sought to avoid undue influence over his editors and recalled "the perturbation of | a good many shareholders directors" of the staunchly Con- servative paper when prior to 1938 the editor "took a line which popular one at the time." That was the stand the Post took at the time of the 1938 Munich crisis. Its critical attitude toward Prime Minister Neville Chamber- lain's concessions to Hitler was brought under fire by influential shareholders at the 1939 annual meeting of the publishing company. The paper was popularly regarded at the time as partly reflecting the views of Anthony' Eden, who a few months earlier had quit the Cham- berlain government rather than "appease" Mussolini. Bden is mar- ried to a daughter of the late Sir brother, lisher's retirement, the Post recalled how Becket firmly backed Arthur Mann, the Post editor at the time of Munich, "The more controversial a prob- lem, the more impressive and valu- able became Mr. Beckett's judg- ment," 'it said. "He gave rock-like support in crises when: the editor deemed it right to take an un- popular line He upheld the Yorkshire Post's early denunciation of Hitler when so many politicians were deceived by that creature's lies and treacheries."

Urge To Return When caught by the hills or wel- | comed by the meadows, each drop- | let is charged with an urge to get back to the arms of its mother. Hardened as ice in the high | ranges, it is hindered, but not | stopped. The glacier will creep on a thousand-year run never forget- | ting its long lost home. Only by | folding into valleys and locking the lakes, can the land retain any water in permanence. Every stream is a treacherous Jest, every river a highway of rob- ery. retreating substance, the outflowing water carries much of the the wearing of rock, the dissolving stuffs gained by growing things. | Unending War | It is a cold, wet war that never | ceases, nor will it end before the | waters have covered the whole | earth. All that has saved the land in the past, and will hold in the future, is the unresting turbulence | of the earth's crust, which heaves {and cracks in quake and fault, to {our human distress occasionally. There is not a hill known but shows signs of submergence, or of | being raised from depths subter- | ranean, as if the land, like a huge | whale, must keep moving upwards to breathe! The greatest opposition to the | greedy seas is found in the green- | ery covering the earth. All | leafage existing lives and works in | water, and the rootage makes the | soil more absorbent. This green | carpet is shrinking, and the human | aggressor in these later centuries | is wearing it threadbare. | Effects of Waste The most reckless wastrel in the world, his latest and greatest waste is in water. Wherever he settles he uses more than comes naturaly. Through history he has left deserts | behind him, from China to the | West, wherever he now is, waters are being reduced. His wells must be dug deeper; his supplying | streams "ample" in the beginning, | must be augmented frequently. Modern industries used water in amounts that would appear colos- sal to our fathers who build water- | mills. Modern eities in their vast | washings, modern residences in | their many faucets take water in | volumes that only city engineers military also down with May oats and barley | can estimate. | While these works and factories | increase cities are growing bigger and the green carpet contracts. | Already the engineers are looking | seaward wistfully. If the swift | "run-off" cannot be steadied an the salt water be sweetened and brought back? This, to some of | them, is the only solution in sight. [ Waters Reclaimed | Already the polluted and saline waters are being brought back into sewers. Already the ocean is re- quired to surrender some of the minerals it has taken; already is it threatened with the task of feed- | ing the land it has robbed, not only with 'the fish it produces but with | the very sun-beamed plankton that is the foundation of its life. ~The little hill streams that run singing to the sea must move on a gentle theme. The waterfalls that ripple in silver rapture must hush their gay rompings, if this abandoned waste of water is to continue in its wanton slashings!
