Indeed, the surprising musical ability of the children was a feature which made the event even more successful than the committee in charge had hoped it to be and parents were thrilled with the realization that these skilled and profiicient singers and musicians were the children of whom they might well be proud. In judging the efforts of children and adults alike, both Mr. Fenwick and Mr. Peaker mentioned that this was excepâ€" tionally fine work, and stressed the fact that if it were not their duty as JjJudges, they would certainly not pick out the faults or pause to criticize the results.

The sale of liquor is also in the hands of a monopoly and here again prices are rising very rapidly but this is not so important, as the amount of liquor allowed each person, or, in reality, each household, is so small that it does not affect the economic structure adversely." ‘"‘The coâ€"operatives, that great inâ€" stitution that has been given so much world publicity, as far as I can find out, is a marvellous place to work, but In his later visits Mr. Shook was amazed at the rapid growth of tourist consciousness and the unfortunate efâ€" fect of publicity. ‘"‘Today," he said, "Sweden is a mass of contradictions. For example, you will see a beautiful modern apartment house with all modern conveniences, and next door you will find an equally fine building with neither heating nor plumbing, and both equally well‘ rented. â€" Both landlords and tenants have organizaâ€" tions to protect themselves from one another. The trade unions are well countered by an employers‘ union. In larger establishments there are selâ€" dom any strikes or apparent labour trouble, but from the point of view of the private individual or the small business man wishing to employ skilled or semiâ€"skilled labourâ€"wellâ€"it is alâ€" most impossible in the case of a priâ€" vate house owner, and for the small business man the rules and regulaâ€" tions are positively reaching the point of disaster." "They have a tobacco monopoly," said Mr. Shook, "which now has the price of tobacco so out of proportion to the rest of the country that in 1840 ‘"Well, you can‘t have any until eight o‘clock." "That was the first time," said Mr. Shook, "that I heard the natural hospitality â€"of Sweden clashing with modern tradesâ€"unionism, and the clerk was hardly used to the new regulaâ€" tions." Mr. Harold Shook was the guest speaker at the Kiwanis Club on Monâ€" day at the weekly luncheon and his address on Sweden proved of much inâ€" terest to the meeting. He was introâ€" duced by Fritz Woodbury. Mr. Shook prefaced his address by stating that he did not intend to touch on the war situation because his wife‘s people were still living in Europe. In opening his address Mr. Shook exâ€" plained that he did not intend to give statistics or information of a techâ€" mical nature, but simply to present some opinions and ideas following several visits to Sweden. He referred to the mission sent by President Rooseâ€" veit to Sweden to study conditions there and the unusual amount of pubâ€" licity resulting from this visit. Many books had been written on the govâ€" etnmental of Sweden and the now â€"famous phrase, "The Middle Way" had been coined to refeéer to Sweden. Mr. Shook was not sure that this publicity had been of benefit to Sweden. "You have all heard much of the wonderful solution of the labour problem, the wonderful coâ€"operatives and the many other social advances made by this country," said Mr. Shook, who said he had studied â€"Sweden, not with the thought of writing or lecturâ€" ing about the country, but with the idea of making it a possible home and place of business. His first visit to Stockholm was in 1934 his second in 1937; and his third in 1939 and 1940. In 1934 he found an oldâ€"established, wellâ€"mannered, quietâ€" living, reasonably hardâ€"working but not moneyâ€"mad people, living in a city with the natural beauty of a Northern summer resort and mellowed by a thousand years of civilization, but as yet unspoiled by the mad seramble for the gold of the tourist trade. Mr. Shook gave an amusing anecdote to illustrate the contradictory impulses of the people. They were staying at a hotel and â€" planned. to go fishing through the ice in the morning and left a call for six o‘clock in the mornâ€" ing. Promptly at six o‘clock in the morning the phone rang and the folâ€" lowing transpired :â€" "Six o‘clock, sir!" ‘"Thank you!" "Would you like some coffee, sir?" "Yes, thank you, we would." "Well, you can‘t have any until Mr. Harold Shook Found Big Difference in 1939 and 1940 from the Country in 1934 and 1937.....Younger People Affected by Nazt Propaganda. Monopoliese Grow Strong in Sweden. SUBMARINE (Shark class) MOoTOR TORPEDO BOAT and others The visitors for the day were:â€" Lio nHarold Shook, of Timmins:; Kiâ€" wanian Lowry Taylor, of New Lisâ€" keard; W Durkin, Kitchener;: J. M. Eakins, anda; H. Hawkins, Timâ€" mins; H. Warde MacDonald, Toronto. ‘The winner of the draw for the War Savings Certificate for the week was Kiwanian Phil Kinkel. Three new members were E. J. Wolfe. Harry Freestone, and Austin Neame. They were inducted and charged into the duties of Kiwanis by Rev. W. M. Mustard, and presented with their butâ€" tons by Kiwanians Gordon Irving and Harry Bates. Percy Moisley, chairman of the "K" Club, announced that on Saturday there would be a collection of metals as part of the club‘s salvage work, for which trucks and conveyances would be provided. Kiwanian E. H. King advised that all letters to all the clubs in the Unitâ€" ed States, inviting all Kiwanis personâ€" ally to visit Canada this year, had been duly mailed, together with The Adâ€" vance booklet about Timmins and the Porcupine. This booklet received very favourable comment at the meeting and a motion was passed to send a letter of thanks and commendation to The Advance for the very fine job. In concluding Mr. Shook said:â€""I have purposely adopted the line of debunking, as I feel this country can learn a great lesson from the soâ€"called ‘"‘Middle Way.‘"‘ The lesson is that you cannot legislate nor can you force social advances. They must be arrived at more slowly, by evolution and changing conditions. If you force any one of these things before the country is ready for it, you will only create a new set of problems, or in other words, if you force any of these advances you will find the cure is more uncomfortâ€" able than the disease." able than the disease.""‘ Mr Shook was thanked by Kiwanian Don James on behalf of the club for the interesting address. On motion the Kiwanis decided to attend the Drumhead Parade on May 25th in a body. Mr. Shook said that he had acâ€" tually watched workmen arriving on the work of remodelling a large build« ing at 8 a.m., and stopping at 9 for breakfast, insisting on the boss hiring a beer boy so they can have beer at all times. Incidentally, the converting of the ground floor shops of this buildâ€" ing into a cityâ€"owned restaurant reâ€" quired something over nine months to complete. The speaker said that while he did not want to appear critical, it was imâ€" possible not to feel that Sweden is not progressing as publicity would have one ‘believe. The old Sweden was one of the world‘s really fine countries, and far superior to the modern aping of others and playing up to their own propaganda. "In spite of these critiâ€" cisms which I have made," said Mr. Shook, "I feel that Sweden is still a fine country to visit, and, were it not for the war, a good place to live." from the shopper‘s point of view you would do just as well, and on many articles, better, in one of the ordinary stores, even taking into consideration your 3 per cent. dividend as a memâ€" ber. If this institution continues its octopus growth, it stands an excellent chance of becoming another semiâ€" monopoly of all commodities and inâ€" creasing the general cost of living through she*er wasteful management and lack of responsibility on the part of the controlling groups who, inciâ€" dentally, are about the only ones to really reéceive any benefit from an orâ€" ganization that should, if human naâ€" ture were different, bhe a great boon to the country." rf PACGE
