Pormission for the parade had besn granted by the town council on the condition that the Union Jack be carried and that the banners be subâ€" mitted for aproval to the chief or peâ€" lice. Tha wording of the banners that time was not libelious, though not parâ€" tictrlarly sensible or helpful, but not being very harmful and the parade being a legal ons, there was no interâ€" fersnce with the event. The police wero out in force in case of any aisâ€" order, but in view of the fact tnat those in charge of the parade lived up to their agrsements that time, the poâ€". lice confined their efforts to seeing that the paraders wore not molested and that trafilic was not unduly delayed. The parade was only a brief affair, the paraders assembling on the vacant lot near the rink, where they were addressâ€" ed by several of their speakers. ‘There was a crowd of two or three thousand spectators out to sse the parade, large numbers of these being children. It was impossible to hear the speakers, but they did not seem to. mind this, so long as they had the opportunity to speak. The paraders agreed that this was to be the last parade that year. There was a drizzling rain during the pirade. An cdd but serious accident occurred ten years ago when about 7.30 one eyâ€" ening a partridge fliew against the wineâ€" shield of the R. Sinclair delivery car, breaking the glass and a flying piece of glass becoming imbedded in Robert Garner‘s eye. The car was returning from Iroquois Falls, Melvilie Carswell driving, and just this side of Connaught the partridgs> flew right at the car with such force that the glass in the wind@â€" shield was broken and Robert Garner had the dead partridge and the filying glass strike him in the face. The eye was badly injured, and to add to their troubles, the young men had the misâ€" fortune to have a blowâ€"out of one or the tires of the car, delaying their reâ€" turn to Timmins and medical aid. Onr reaching Timmins Dr. Day cleared the glass from the eye but found the eyei so seriously injured that the young man. was takon on the early morning train a few days latoer to Kirkland Laxe »or treatment by a specialist there.

They are so coâ€"ordinated by wire service t! mt although they are set un and mudo uy At one of these newspapers, we found that the paper has been cut down from an average issue of 28 pages to four pages. In addition, the circulation has been cut from 920,000 daily average ro 860;,000. Several hundred applications for subscriptions each day have to be refused. ‘This is typical of the réstricâ€" tions on all the newspapers. Our party was entertained at the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Express, The Times, and Reuters Agency. We were shown through their plants and given every courtesy. Newsprint is severely raiioned in England. Not only have the publishners been forced to reduce the number of pages to a fraction of the usual volume, but the circulation has had to be drasâ€" tically curtailed. In many cases the size of the pages and the width of the columns have been reduced. People travelling on a train will nearâ€" ly always pass their newspaper around to the other people in the compartment after they have read it. People over there are now glad to have any paper at all. The privilege of having a paper delivered every day is a highly prized one. A housenoider whe goes away for a time often finds on his return that someone else has taken the right to get his daily paper, and it may be a hard task to get back in the good graces of the paper boy. those who are trying to buy a little of the space available. One of our first experiences was at the news stand in our London hotel. We had heard rumours of the Dieppe raid which took place just as we were leaving Canada, but we had not read anything about it. We were anxious to see a newspaper. However, the news stand could not sell us one unless it was ordered in advance. Thus we abruptly learned to apprecâ€" late a privilege which we do not think about here, the privilege of being able to buy a newspaper at any time. Neww During gp‘:fi".;%"‘l.“'.."' e ys.

This is one of the old=f weekâ€" lies of England and has been owned by the same. famlly for a great many years. One reason why this restriction was placed on Canadian papers was that some publishers had been bundliang up their overâ€"runs, and sending them over to be distributed. We were told by one service worker that he had seen at one time 600 bags of such papers, and he simply did not know what to do with them. There is no doubt thot the pubâ€" lishers who sent them were help. They thought it was £ zood thing to do, but it actually was ~ miszuided effort. It is not surprising, with curtailments in the size and number of pages of the newspapers, that the. news is also comâ€" densed. ‘There ‘Are a great many veryâ€" short items making up the news colâ€" umns, but taking into consideration the difficulties under which they are operâ€" ating, the British newsphpers are very readable and give a surprisingly good news coverage in the space at their aisâ€" posal.
