From the Portugese and their Eastâ€" ern trading came our modern word "poreelain." They used small pink musâ€" sel shells as currency, shells the color of newborn pigs or porzella. When first the Portugese saw the beauty of China‘s ceramics they were reminded of their delicate shells and so the c>ramics of China acauired the name of "porcelain" which means "little pigs." To Speak of Tea The Spanish, the Dutch and the Engâ€" lish followed the Portugese in establishâ€" ing trade with the fabulous east. The vast array of suvices, porcelains, silks and lacquered pieces which were Rudyard Kipling‘s famous remarks about the Fast and West make a nice rhyme but the fact is they met in peace as well as in war. . . . they have been meeting inAmerican homes from colonâ€" lal days right down to the present. Though Marco Polo is usually credited with starting the whole thing, actually trade with the Orienrt was well estabâ€" lished under the Roman Empire, but with the fall of the Roman civilization, trade with China went into a blackout and China became a mythical kingdom until Marco Polo revived the Venetian trade with the land of the dragon. So strong were the trade ties of Venice and the Orient that the former forced the rest of Eurovpe to buy on her own terms. This, in turn, forced the great exploraâ€" tions in search of new routes to the East â€" in fact, Columbus stumbled on our own shores in an effort to find a shorter route to the Far East. Usually the term "China Trade" is used lossely to describe this traffic with the far East China and India in the News Recall Source of Fabrics and Wal!ll Paper, Furniture and China Take Inspiration from the Far East. se THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH. 1942 Department of Munitions and Supply A copy of the order, S.C. 16, may be obtained from the Steel Controller, Department of Munitions and Supply, Ottawa, The provisions of the order do not apply to scrap dealers who are already subject to previous orders; nor do they affect metal fabriâ€" cators and processors who are in legal possession of metal to be used in manufacturing. The order also provides The Steel Controller has ordered that, after September 15, 1942, no person may retain in his possession scrap iron or steel weighing a total of 500 pounds or more unless he has a permit. It is now That any person having a valid reason for not disposing of scrap metal as scrap metal or who believes that it can serve some essential purpose, must send in a report by September 15 to the Used Goods Administrator of the Wartime Prices and Trade Boerd, Lumsden Building, Toronto.

Too, with porcelain, silks and spices came a marvelous leaf which _fcould be brewed into a delectable beyâ€" erageâ€"tea. The influence of tea alone on the drinking habits and social life fof England speaks volumes for the inâ€" fluence of the China and India trade. With the growth in popularity of tea there came a demand not only for china cups and tea pots (which inspired the development of all European transluâ€" cent ware but of furniture suitable for teaâ€"service â€" tea tables, tea . stands, dumbwaiters, chairs suitable for teaâ€" gatherings and chitâ€"chats. The Toes of the Dragon The great furniture designers absorbâ€" ed the Chinese influence for their own purposes. "Chinese Chippendale" is still a household word; to the famous clawâ€"andâ€"ball foot is, in truth, the threeâ€"toed Chinese dragon holding a precious and mystic pearl.. Right here it is interesting to note that the Europâ€" ean designers, unwittingly perhaps, coâ€" pied the dragon of the Chinese peasant. The Imperial dragon has five claws, the dragon for nobility, four, but the comâ€" mon mans â€"dragon has conly thrgee toes. That the Europeans did not realizo this: may be attributed to the fact that the haughty Chinese exerted a strict cen- sorship on "foreign devils" who camei to trade and sold them only the itoms which they considered suitable for them The clawâ€"andâ€"ball foot, therefore, beâ€" scrap steel , must dispose of it within by Elizabeth MacRea Boykin machinery to e great many of our fabrics and furniture designs are oriental in insniration.

There was a little disapâ€" pointment because Schumacher and Cochrane fire brigades and Cochrane baseball team failed to fulfill their obliâ€" gations to come here as arranged. Howâ€" ever, The Advance at the time noted that ::the default in reality did not prove a serious matte® for anyone but those failing to come here. Timmins and South Porcupine fire brigades put on a fine exhibtion in the firemen‘s svents and two baseball teams, selected by Chief Borland and J. Monoghan resâ€" pectvely, put ori a great grade of ball. Tate and Destefano were the battery for the one team and PFarr and Mcâ€" Intyre for the other. J. Monoghan and Chief Borland were the umpires and gave good satisfaction. The Tateâ€"Desâ€" tefano team won, 2 to 1, after:â€" keen and close battle. Ohe score shows how good the game was. The programme like all the oldâ€"time football club events, was run off exactly on the scheâ€" 'dule published. Dome Jrs. won from |the Timmins Jrs. 3 to 0 in lively footâ€" ball. There was a parade at 9.50 a.m., headed by the Timmins Fire Brigade and a number of filoats and decorated autos.

Even the rame "Chinoiserâ€" ie", designating the entire vogue, is French. The French used this new exâ€" otic trend to add much needed strength and vigor to the fading Rococo fashions. Lacquered furniture, scenic fabrics and wall papers all owe a debt to the far east. Printed cottons from India were the source of most our ideas for chintzâ€" es, toiles and calicos. "Quite sick of Rome and Greece, we fstch our models from the wise chinese", thus ran a song of the era. comes a subtle commentary by the suâ€" perâ€"civilized Chinese on the rough adâ€" venturers and viratical traders who sailed thcusands of miles and around the world to "trade" with the east.

The event was held under the auspices of the Timâ€" mins Football Club in connection with a sports day on Labour Day, 1922. The Advance thotf#ht so much of the hortiâ€" cultural show twenty years ago that it made a separate report of this Labour Day feature in 1922, giving it actually half an inch more space than the reâ€" port of all other events of the day.

There was la general opinion among musicians the judges had erred in their gradâ€" ing. The Advance took the stand that, just as in the Ontaro Cup finals in football and the hockey contests it seemed difficult for the North to get a fair deal. The newspapers and the public in (Toronto placed the Timmins band very high but that was of little advantage when the judges looked at it otherwise.

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT ISs PUBLISHED YOUR FIRE INSURANCE AGENT OR COMPANY WILL GLADLY SUPPLY COMPLETE DETAILS OF THIS GOVERNMENT INSURANCE PLAN. The Government of Canada, by Act of Parliament, has set up a Plan of War Risk Insurance against damage to property caused by enemy actionâ€"by countermeasures taken against the enemyâ€"by explosions of war munitions handled by third parties. In terms of general information, it may be stated that the Plan provides a certain i{mited FREE COMPENSATION for damage to ownerâ€"occuâ€" pied homes and to chattels, but the main feature of the Plan is that owners of most types of property can protect their property by PURâ€" CHASE of GOVERNMENT WAR RISK INSURANCE at very moderate rates. £ This type of War Risk Insurance is not being sold today by private insurance companies, because of the risk involved. Consequently, the Government has established a national scheme to make it possible for each citizen in Canada to purchase the sense of security that comes from knowing that if his property does suffer war damage (and the war has come much closer to Canada in the last twelve months) he can call on the resources of Canada to help him make good his property loss.
