A Toronto street car conductor has refused an American dollar on the ground that it was not worth its face value in Canada and that he must protect his employer's interests. it is tru» that the sequel of the story is that the owner of the snubbed Yankee dollar complained to the railroad manage- ment and that the conductor was reprimanded, But the fact remains, Oui dollar js below par in Canada. That our Northern neighbor should be proud of this is natural, It is only a short time since Canadian currency was at a discount of 16 or 17 per cent in United States money. 'The change regisiers a story of prosperity and sound business con- ditions of which any country would have a right to be proud, Several things have combined to bring about this happy state of atfairs, In the first place, Canada has turn- ed an adverse balance on interna- tional trade into a favorable balance, and, of course, the very foundation Athletics : (Continued from page 9) Association, in a few words expressed his opinion that such an organization would do away with conflicting of dates and overlapping of players, Juniors to be Developed Mr. Parsons stated that one of the most important questions was the willingness of all clubs to co- operate with the association, while the development of junior players would be one of the chief objects, In the past lack of accommodation had crowded them out and while a fine junior baseball league had been in progress three years ago, it had been forced to disband, Mr. Higginbotham, representing the A.A.U.,, thought that every one present realized' the necessity of cen-|. tralizing all sporting activities for one common good, He could not meeting, officers be elected and a {the main rotunda of the building stone of foreign exchange is Imbed- ded in foreign trade balances, Again, Canadian Government and industrial loans have met very hospi- table receptions in Americana money markets, with the resultant flow of large sums across the border, Large amounts of money have been spent in Canada by bootlegging outlaws, A substantial boost to Can- resulted if a resolution being passed favoring the association and a com- mittee was appointed to arrange for an_ organization meeting, Before closing Mr, Higginbotham suggested that, at the organization sub-committee appointed composed of one representative from each sport- ing club who in turn would have his adian prosperity came from these two sources. . American motor car tourists have contributed to it importantly, In the last twelve months 600,000 Am- erican motor cars crossed the border into Canada.

A car so driven is a car in perfect control, and its driver is a man able to do the right thing, and that only, with almost automatic precision and quickness. On the whole, it must be said in fairness, the drivers of motor-coaches are the superiors in skill and courtesy to a great many of the drivers of smaller pleasure cars. As for the few that are lax, or even reckless, reasonable legislation, for- tified by public opinion, should be enough to extrude them from the road. After all, good driving is largely a matter of good manners. PAMPERED LIVES London Daily Express: Luxury is still too prone to turn us into des- picably puny creatures of artificial grins and shallow gibes. When faced with God's immensities we shiver with a naked feeling, and scurry back to pink plush boudoirs, It would do the world no harm if a law were passed sending those who live in cities into the wilds for a week each year, with wits and cour- age for company, secretary. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Higginbotham and Mr. Johnston for the interest they had shown by their presence, also to Mr. Galley of the Y.M.C.A., for turning over to the gathering News of Nearby Places for the meeting.

All are very pleased to hear that Mrs. Everett Walter, who has been ill in Bowmanville hospital, for the past few weeks, is improving nicely. Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Trull and daughter, Gwen, spent Sunday with see any advantage of a parent body unless all clubs were willing to join. In his opinion, *they should take the | bull by the horns and start in and) do things." He reviewed the progress | of athletics in Ontario through the! efforts of the A.A.U,, stressing that| it offered a protection for players and had eliminated in a large measure rough tactics in all branches of sport. "There is no question about there | being room for an athletic associa-| tion in Oshawa," he said. "In almost | every town or city there is some one! trying to monopolize sport. In some | cases trivial matters have caused no! end of trouble, but you should try and overlook those small grievances, We realize that boys are developed along the lines of organized sport, and it is to the boy we are endeavor- ing to cater. If the men present will | back up the organization there will! be nothing for it but success. Athletic Field Improved Mr. Parsons made reference to the improved condition of Alexandra Park since the special committee had completed their work. Dr. Kaiser was asked to speak on behalf of the committee. He submitted that the idea of an association should receive the hearty support of the town for a great many reasons. Sport was a magnificent element, it developed the manly qualities of boys while the mental training 'was of great im- portance. "We have now got through with the war," continued the doctor, "and it is time to develop. We made an| agreement last year in which the Town Council was to make a grant for improvements at the park and which later was repeated by a pri- vate citizen. These improvements have been made and by Satarday night the work will be entirely com- pleted and the field seeded down. I miss my guess if a year from now visitors to the town do not say that there are no finer athletic grounds | fn the province of Ontario. Now we have got to make use of them but it| is lacking in some respects." A New Grandstand The doctor declared that a new grandstand was an absolute neces- sity, the old one being dangerous and not at all in keeping with the grounds. "I have made some in- vestigations and have ascertained that a creditable grandstand can be erected for $15,000 or possibly $20,- 000. Who should raise this money? The ones deriving the benefit from or The doctor contended that the Athletic Assocation, Parks Commis- sion, Agricultural Society and the Town of Oshawa should share the expense. benefits from it through conventions and other attractions coming here, besides school field days. The Parks Commission were under an obliga- tion to instal sanitary conveniences. If this was not done the Board of Health was to lock the gates of the park. The Parks Board must do their duty. No town had a right to ask people to go to the park. with accommodation like it was here. The Agricultural Society used the grandstand and the athletic element would derive much benefit from it. Therefore he believed that the ex- pense should be borne by the four different bodies. He suggested that the athletic association set aside one day on which the proceeds be devoted for this purpose.

Service is best known to the read- ing public as a poet. His verse is widely read and frequently quoted but his prose works are not so well In The Poisoned Paradise, he has made a hig cffort to write a novel which will make a name for himself. The plot centres around Monte Carlo, the gamblers paradise' or in- ferno--as the case may be. Service evidently knows the place with its lure of easy money, its beau- tiful scenery and fascinating wicked- ness for he has described it all with minute detail, As a matter of fact therein lies the structural weakness of the hook. Mr, Service has dealt at too great length with the details of the plays, the system (mathema- tical and otherwise) which were de- vised to "break the bank." In spite of this weakness the book has plently of action. It contains a pretty love story with lots of plot, ro- mance, and other ingredients which go to make up a good story. Service is at his best when describing the varied characters who throng the gambling hell in their efforts to win easy money. The book gives promise that the writer will do as well in poetry. prose as he has done in A great literary teacher has ceased to teach In London. Profes- sor W.
