From the fire rangers‘ tower at Cook Mountain, Mr. Preston says, it is possible to get a longer view of the North Land than from any other vantage point. Mr. Preston ought to know. He knows his North from personal contact and from long experience, and moreover he has the faculty of observation and underâ€" stands what he sees. Further, he is philosopher.

In 1684, their foes were decisively beaten and crushed, and Poland enjoyed some years of, comâ€" parative peace. In the years from 1771 to 1795 a. ceries of battles took place which resulted in Poland being divided between Austria, Germany and Russia, although the spirit of the people. reâ€" mained unbroken. At last the Great War seemed to obliterate all chance for the Poles to regain their independence The contending armies swept the counâ€" try from end to end ten times, and there seemed to be nothing left, but the indomitable spirit of the psople surmounted all cbstacles, and toâ€"day the Republic of Poland is recognized as one of ‘the smaller powers in Europ‘. Father Sowinski‘s address was much appreciated by ths members and evokâ€" ed some interested enquiries.

Mrs. Watt: "William, will you never get that string untangled for me?" Father Sowinski briefly but compreâ€" hensively traced the growth of the Polish people from a vassal state to one of independence as it is toâ€"day, and pointed with pride to many of her sons who were famous through great achievements, from King Boris, who in 1364 established at Krakow the first university in Central Europe, to Ignace Jan Paderewski, who was known for many years as the world‘s most brilliâ€" ant pianist and composer and then beâ€" came Prime Minister of his native country Poland. Father Sowinski remarked that the name "Pole" was used rathsr indisâ€" criminately, with results that were misâ€" leading, in describing immigrants from Central Europe. It was a common imâ€" pression that there were several hunâ€" dred Poles in the Porcupine distric:, but the fact was that there woere only about seventyâ€"five men in the district of purely Polish birth.

A feature of the Current Statement is the more liberal policy pursued by directors in presenting the report to shareholders. In last year‘s report a list was submitted of 27 companies in the securities o which the bulk of the cutside investments were vested; the report under review goes much further and gives a full list of all investments with the commitment in each security. The list is classified acâ€" cording to the various classes of securiâ€" ties and shows public utility issues reâ€" presenting a*‘substantial proportion 0> the aggregate investments. The profit and loss account reveals revenue for the year at $2,784,681 which compares with $1,947,590 for the preâ€" ceding period and $849,871 for the year ended June 30th, 1928. Profit on sale of securities is lower at $918,231 as compared with $1,364,514, but gross earnings remain higher at $3,702,912 as against $3,312,104. After expenses, taxes, and interest, net earnings of $2,478,958 compare with $$2,445 829, and deduction of common and preâ€" ferred dividends leaves balance sheet surplus up at $3,491,304 férom $2,502,919. In the balance sheet total assets are shown up at $49,596,291 frorm $46.963,â€" 044. Investments in affiliated comâ€" panies and other investments are both higher, the former at $18,920,222 from $16,526,913,. and the latter at $30,119,962 from $29,504,222. Accruables are down sharply at $440,021 from $793,857. Among the liabilities, loans ars up al $3,500,000 from $1,945,904; payables are lower at $1,232.925 as compared with $1,938,101; while accrued dividends and interests are up at $595,806 from $230,â€" 000. Funded debt is lower at $12,673,â€" 700 from $14,979,500. The statement reveals further healâ€" thy expansion in all directions achievec by the Corporation, revenues, gross earnings, and net earnings again showâ€" ing substantial gains, while the balance sheet indicates continued both in operations and investment activities. Earnings applicable to the outstanding common stctk, at $4.21 a ‘share, are somewhat below the per share earnings for the preceding year, but the numver of shares cutstanding have, in the meantime, been increased to 445,806 from 295,557. â€"It is a notable fact that the operating revenues showed a gain of over $800,000, or arcound 40%,. One of the interesting features of the Power Corporation‘s group of investâ€" ments is that the financial interests which organized and have developed it to its present satisfactory state of affluence are identical with the develâ€" opers of the properties in whose securiâ€" ties Power Corporation holds a subâ€" stantial interest. Their dual interest is an assurance that they will continue to have the same brand of efficient management as in the past years and this in turn is a guarantee for the genâ€" eral body of shareholders. In presenting the report to shareâ€" holders, president A. J. Nesbitt refers to the investment portfolio of the corâ€" poration as fcllows: It will be seen from the annual reâ€" port that the revenue enjoyed by the Corporation is at the highest level in its history and that its position is strong throughout. It will be notea that it was generous with shareholders in the matter of dividends. The only recession shown is the percentage earnâ€" ed on the common stock and this is due to the increased volume of shares now in the hands of investors, partly through the distribution of a stoOck dividend. 4 "The assets of your corporation conâ€" sist of cash on hand, call loans, (securâ€" ed), and security investments made up of bonds and preferred and common stocks of leading public utility and inâ€" dustrial companies in the following proportions as at June 30th, 1930: Preferred Stocks en ©4.000f Bank Stocks ... / 10008 Commen Stocks ... 62.000%, Cash and Demand Loans ......... 11.35 C A list of the holidings of security inâ€" vestments will be found in another part of this report. Their geographical disâ€" This readily accounts for the success and growth of the earning power of Power Corporation of Canada, Limited, which has just issued its annual reâ€" port for the fiscal year ended June 30 last. A study of the figures presented by the management, shows by compariâ€" son with preceding years that it is not suffering to any marked extend from the general recession in business. This speaks well for the success of the comâ€" panies in which it holds large investâ€" ments. It will be seen from the annual reâ€" 100,.0007, "Over of these assets are interâ€" est or dividend bearing." The basis of a great deal of the popularity with investors in that class | of securities has been the steadiness of ; the growth of business even in lean | times, thus demonstrating that apart from the natural increase in the uses to which electricity is being put, the | service is one of the most stable of modern times. This is evidently one of the services on which the ptublic is' not disposed to curtail. | Annual Statement Shows Corporation Continues It; Consisient Growth,.

Recently a Russian employed on the T. N. O. as section hand created a disturbance at a dance. According to the reports he arrived at the dance in good spirits and with good spirits in him. During the evening he developec an ugly humour, however, because a young man at the party was paying too much attention to one of the young ladies present, to whom the Russian apparently had taken a sprcial fancy. The Russian threatened the life of this young man and it was with considerâ€" able difficulty that the Russion gentleâ€" man was persuaded to leave the party and go home. Returning in an hour, however, changed into old clothes and apparently sober, but armed with a butcher knife and with temper, in a rage he vowed to carry out his to kill his alleged rival.
