London. â€" The last time I saw Lonâ€" aon was in the hour of its greatest suffering and its greatest glory. The spirit of 1941 will shine forever in world history. There was still a hole in the roof of St. Paul‘s where a bomb had shattered the High Altar. For acres around there was rubble; the House of Commons had disappeared:; and at night the: traffic in the streets was guided on the corners by a little cross of light no larger than two finâ€" gers. City Looks Normal Bishop Renison Gives A Picture Of London Wnthout bemg told, you still feel that Lundon is the capital of the world. The news is very largely world news. The soldiers on the streets with their rows of ribbons, are probâ€" ably visitors. â€" from every country except their own.. Yesterday we met a man from Vienna, another from the Sudan, and still a third from Iraq, on roliday. At Whitehall you can see men and women in OÂ¥iental costume walking in the June sunshine as if they were at home. The news from Gerâ€" mamny is local news. It is astonishâ€" ing how the White Man‘s burden still The London ‘buses are still the same. The genius of the British people in organizing themselves under necesâ€" sity is a lesson to the whole world. There is no undue crowding on the streets: the people line up in queues for the ‘buses, and anyone who tries to crash the line is made to feel like a hound.. A Chinese philosopher who receptly arrived was so impressed by the phenomenon of the queues that he missed his ‘bus during his meditaâ€" tions. Still World‘s Capital Today the city looks quite normal. One of the most extraordinary things to the visitor‘s eye is the way that the great city has dressed its wound, From every bombed area the rubble has been carefully . removed. The {cundations are clean ‘and beautiful; grass is growing in the cellars; boxes of flowers outline the bare foundaâ€" tions. Fhere are many places where stark desolation hag. beén: made‘ fo look natural and attractive. ' By RT. REV. R, J. RENISON From the Toronto Globe and Mail T. B. Fawcett, general manager of Northland Aviation Limited, is shown here getting his planes in condition just in case there was a railway strike. »supplies of all kinds would have had to be flown in and out of Timâ€" mins, but the strikers decided to ca‘ll it off when their demands were met by the government. Advance Photso Second Section | One of tre miracles of this old land and th‘s great city is the genius for building which shows how men of old built not for time but for eternity. The old buildings of London are poems in stone. With all our millions and our scientific equ‘oment there is a certain ‘lack of permanence in our new land. Whether that is giod or bad only the future can tell. green grass, the blue sEy, The Bbreathâ€" less tensicn as Australia won the, toss. One would think to read the papers that the "downfall of England" was a world event when it only meant that Compton was clean ‘bowled!

Apart from their working hours there is very little opâ€" portunity for normal holidays. Poems in Stones Last Sunday we went to St. Paul‘s in the morning and the nave was. filled with a congregation of several thousâ€" and people. The Bishop of Melanesia was the preacher. . In the evening we went to Westminister Abbey, the shrine of the British people. It is the place cf the memorials to kings, poets, and warriors On the right hand side of the entrance is the remarkable statue of William Pitt, with his eagle face, bidding England be of good cheer and hurl defiance at her foes. vests on British shoulders. â€" The daily papers are tabloids, mot of them four pages; and vet coming from Canada cne sometimes wonders whether very much is lost. The English are surely the greatest sportsmen in the world. They do not always win, but they are very interesâ€" ted in sport. Wimbledon is now in full swing, and the fight for the Ashes of cricket is the greatest news of the hour. Yesterday we went to Lords to see Australia and England. There were forty thcusand people in the stands around the field. It was a picture that an artist might covet: the Publiahed in Timmins. On*t.,. Canada EVERY THURSPAY hear Than shelter, or. bread, or wine. For shelter is gone when the night is The address dealt with character analysis. The speaker disclaimed any standing as a character analyst, but his many years of contact with people had taught him many things about people. "I like all men â€" and quite a few women!" was the way he phrasâ€" ed it. _ ~Character analysis, he felt was very hecessary ‘for all, as every man was both a salesman and a buyer, no matâ€" ter what his line in life. The Bell Telephone Co. and other firms that specialized in aptitude tests for their staffs were on the right line. They wanted to have square pegs for square holes,. There were many misfits, due to economic pressure, and to parents forcing children into lines for which they were not fitted. In an amusing and interesting way, the speaker suggested how character and disposition might be learned from colâ€" ouring, the features, skin textures, the walk, the handshake, and the way folks talked. He had discovered a peculiarity aâ€" bout Scottish noses, which he thought due to the fact that their ancestors had had to smell tre fish at Aberdeen market. The speaker credited pipe smokers with innate courtesy and chivalry. "I have never known a pipe smoker to kick a woman, without first lifting Character Analysis Talk Given Kiwanis Monday that counts ,â€" The touch of your hand and mine.

This quotation, with which T. G. Waller concluded his address as guest speaker at the Timmins Kiwanis weekly luncheon at the Empire hotel on Monday, summarized the serious thought that ran all through the wise and witty address.. This quotation Waller concluded speaker at the weekly luncheon Ears were an indication of characâ€" ter, long ears, for example, signifying cleverness, just the same as long heads, while cauliflower ears showed poor judgment in choosing opponents in a fight. Tis the human touch in this world \Present holdings have already renâ€" ‘ dered more than a million Canadians better able to meet personal emerâ€" gencies or to carry out future plans. Such individual and family resources are an element of strengthn and stabilâ€" ity in the nation. In introducing the guest speaker, Kiwanian Al. Wadge pointed out that T. G. Waller was a member of Hamilâ€" ton Kiwanis, and that his twenty years as field officer for the Toronto General Trust Corporation qualified him to speak with knowledge on the subject he had chosen. : BANK OF GANADA ISSUES NEW ~SAVINCS: BOND OTTAWA â€"â€" The Bank of Canada announced today on behalf of the Minâ€" ister of Finance that arrangements are being made for the offering of a third series of Canada Savings Bonds this FPall. Terms of the new issue w.ll not be finally established until laterâ€"probably some time in September. However it is expected that the new security will retain features which proâ€" ved so popular in the first two series. Since the introduction of Canada Savings Bonds in 1946, applications for the first and second series have totalled more than 2,100,000 to a total value in excess of $818 million. The decision to issue a third series is based mainly on this widespread deâ€" mand. Kiwanian Gordon Campbell led the community singing, with Secretary W. H. Wilson at the piano. The only guest for the day was the guest speaker, T. G. Waller, of Hamâ€" The thanks of the club for the inâ€" teresting address were expressed by President H. J. Quinn. ilton Kiwanis Club It was also believed that a savings instrument with the features of Canâ€" ada Savings Bonds would serve a useâ€" ful purpose by giving further stimulus to the savings tendency developed by Canadians during and since the war. Preparations for the Series Three issue got under way at Ottawa this week. As in the past, the new secâ€" urity will be available for cash or through various methods of instailâ€" ment purchase, including the Payroll Savings Plan, whith proved such a popular savings channel in Series One and Two, as well as in the nine Vicâ€" tory Loan issues Under the Payroll Savings Plan, bonds purchased in quantities permitted by the terms of sale may be paid for through deducâ€" To organ‘ze and direct of the new series six regional payroil savings directors have been appointed. tions period pay over a twelve month Announcement is made by the Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Ontario Minisâ€" ter of Agriculture, that the Junior Farmers Leadership Training Camun for Ontario, the second to ‘be held, will this year be held at Geneva Furk on the east shore of Lake Couchiching near Orillia. . Last year, the first Juâ€" nior Farmer Camp was held at Camp Ashunyoong, «on Lake Simcoe. Ths new site for 1948 will provide greater accomodation and facilities for the holding of a leadership camp. The camp period has also neen extended this year, and will last for a full week, from September 6 to September 13. One boy and one girl from each esunty in Ontario will be selected to attend the camp, the Minister anâ€" nounces. These will be boys and girls between the ages of 18 and 24 who have shown good leadership potenâ€" tiailties. They will be selected by the Agricultural Representative, Home Ecâ€" onomist and the Junior Farmer Presâ€" ident in each county. The names of those selected must be admitted to the Department of Agriculture not Jater han August 15. The camp programme will be devotâ€" ed to leadership instruction, with train. ing given through interest groups in such subjects as handcrafts, dramatics music, social and physical recreation, religious studies and photography. A committee of Junior Farmer Leaders is planning the camn programme and arâ€" rangements. The camp staff will be selected by the Department of Agriâ€" culture, and will be announced at a later date. The transbortation charges Cf all geicegates to the camp will be paid by the Ontario Department of Agriculture and the fee for the full week in camp will be $12.00. It is suggested that these fees be vnaid by the local Junior Farmer grouns which are sending delâ€" egates to the camp.

Advance Photo Junior Farmers â€" Leadership Camp At Geneva Park Started last year as an experiment, the Leadership Training Camv proved a great success, particularly in the results which were observed throughâ€" cut the Province from the activities in their own communities of those who attended. One result is that this year he counties of York and Simcoe are coâ€"operating in a district camp for delegates from the Junior Farmer Clubs and Institutes in these two countles, to be held at Camp Ashunyoong Lake Simcoe, from August 30 to September 3 the week prior to the Provincial Leadership â€" Training Camp. Some csunties are arranging for weekend training camns for their own leaders. Ontario‘s spring and summer upâ€" trend in trafl‘c fatalities received an encouraging setback lats month with 43 fatal accidents reported 26 fewer than during the same period last year and 14 fewer than in May 1948. Despite more motor traffic than ever before, this winds up Ontario‘s traffic record for the first half of the year with fewer fatal traffic casualties than in any halfâ€"year period since the end of the war. However thet Minister of Highways warns that the worst time of the year for traffic accidents is still ahead. "For the next two months heavy sumâ€" mer traffic and fast driving will enâ€" danger many otherwise happy‘ holiâ€" days," the Minister states, adding that, "a little rush and a little more comâ€" mon courtesy will go a long way toâ€" ward maintaining Ontario‘s recent imâ€" provement in traffic safety." Traffic Deaths Fewer Worst Period Ahéad J. B. Priestly, the British novelist, was recently described by â€"a poular Londcn neuspaper as "a cantankerous man." Replying to this in an article "Cantankery" appearing in The New Stateman and Nation Mr. PijiestRy expresses his astonishment that anyâ€" one shouid regard him as cantankerâ€" cus for, he says: "I consider myself an easy, good humored fellow," and he adds: ‘"Like most men of my queer trade I am vain rather than massively conceited, and so am quickly wounded. No doubt I have a hairâ€"trigger sense of grievance. One wrong look, one dubious intonationâ€"â€"and» youâ€"areâ€"out with me, though never for long. But cantankerous? I would prefer to call myself an exasverated man, who glares at the antics of the world and cannot decide whether to laugh or cry." Priestly Pines For Ham And Eggs... I once had lunch with Priestly and found him a very jovial and humanly interesting fellow. But that was some years before the war. It will be remâ€" embered that during he war he broadâ€" casted regularly over the BBC, and for a while his comments were very popuâ€" lar, but latterly they were regarded by the Government, not merely as canâ€" tankerous but almost as bad as those of ‘Lord Haw Haw," and he was put off the air. During the postwar genâ€" eral election he was an ardent supâ€" porter of the Labor Party, and he was generally regarded as an outâ€"andâ€"out Socialist. After three years of Sdâ€" cialist government he is not so outâ€" andâ€"out, and it is the Socialists who now accuse him of "cantankery." He is presumably still in favor of nationalized industries but about a year ago he delivered an address roundly condemning the idea of naâ€" tionaliz‘ng novelists and other artists. He contendéd that they should be alâ€" lowed freedcm of enterprise with full right to their copyâ€"rights and profits from rovalties and other sources. He is now attacking what he calls the ‘"Tweed edums and Tweedledees." "It not matter much," he says, "wheâ€" ther they are American soan manufacâ€" turers, Communist Party Bosses, Briâ€" tish Trade Union Leaders; we can lump them together as Tweedles. And it is my contention that these people share a common outlook. And the grim jJoke is that the rest of us who payâ€"â€" and how we pay!â€"â€"for the Twesedies, do not really share this view." The Tweedles are "men of power‘" andâ€"include those of "vast wealth" who contrcl newspapers and radio proâ€" grams, and "Comrade Tweedle" who "issues directives, deciding everything, from the size of families to the slow movements of symphonies. Even Sir Westminister Tweedle though less blaâ€" tant and imnudent in the exercise of power than some of the others, is deâ€" ciding every day how I shall live.‘" Then Mr. Priestly becomes nostalgic and recalls the time, "thirtyâ€"five years ago when I was a halfâ€"baked wool clerk to whom a couple of shillings meant a glorious nisght out.. Now I am a successful nrofessional man well known and almost equally well disâ€" liked in many countries, YCGL â€" L deâ€" He hastens to add that this is not because of the Labor Government or because ‘he does not live in ‘Nafi York or Moscow, but because "the power â€" seekers and powerâ€"holders have moved further in, and what I call democracy has moved further out. . .If we are not careful we shall all die for a democâ€" Timmina, Ont., By Lewis Milligan My recollection of Priestly is that he was a good eater and that explains his cantankerousness over the food shortage in England. He concludes: "You can take Dum or Dee: give me ham and eggs. (But nobody will). Find me a Tweedle who will talk not about bombs but bombes, those delicious conâ€" fections that are already fading memâ€" ory. If we were in our right minds, we should be asking now Who has the Bombes?" racy to which we said goodâ€"bye years ago." Mr. J. P.
