A general tightening of the of- ficial grip on the motion picture shows is indicated in a clause rals- ing the penalties for evasion of censorship, reading as follows: "Every person making use of 'THERE'S an easier, more ern way time-saving, val ot Bok: &ouicativing Vine Made by the makers of LUX Lever Brothers Limited aay film, or device 1a the prov said, or before the payment of the fee as aforesaid, every owner or lessea thereof, and -every per- son aiding or assisting in such use thereof, shall be liable to a fine, for each offence, of not less than five hundred dollars ($500.00), and on failure to pay such fine and costs to imprisonment for three months." Incidentally, them ain amend- ment to the Act, providing for the exclusion of young children, does away with the special "children shows" formerly authorized under special censorship. It is generally felt, however, that the use of meo- tion picture machines in school, for educational purposes will not be prohibited. Enforcement of the Act is plac- ed in the hands of the Attormey- General. FOSTER DISCUSSES Appeals to People to Wait For Definite Pro- posals Saint John, N., B.,, Feb, 14-- Hon, W. BE, Foster, chairman of the Mhtional Advisory Committee on the proposed St. Lawrence wa- terway development, today dealt with the various features of the proposal, in an address here, He described the power and nav- igation possibilities, the favorable features which the river possessed, traced the work of the various bod- ies that have been investigating it for some years and dealt with the treaty rights of the United States, as applicable to the present situa- tion, Dr. Foster appealed to his au- dience not to be carried away hy premature and immature state- ments that were appearing from time to time and concluded his re- marks by asking why all the fren- zied talk and fear emanating from various bodies and individuals in regard to the work, until it was known what those proposals for. the development of the waterway could involve. $ "Why," he said, "talk about the invasion of Canada's sovereign rights or the internationalization of any proposed navigation and power of works, the cost to the tax- payers of Canada, or why fear that Canadian power rights would be alienated, until it was known what was involved or what was contem- plated or suggested on any pro- posed arrangements. "I have never yet heard any se- rious suggestion," he said, 'that if the work is proceeded with there would be involved any point con- trol of Canada and the United States of any works undertaken purely Canadian territory. Unit- ed States rights in the St. Lawr- ence river are already defined and covered by special treaties. United States ships freely pass up and [down he St, Lawresce River through purely Canadian territory, and at the command of the skip- pers of Uscle Sam's ships their whistles are obeyed at all Cana- dian docks' without desitation, THE STRONGHOLD OF WINTER 3 SPORTS | The story is told of a well known Toronto Insurance wan who with his wife went to Que- § bec for the winter sports, meither |of them going outside the hotel | once until they left.
