This new edition has been thoroughly revised throughout and includes in all its chapters the latest information available up to the Muy of going to 'press. The 1933 Canada Year Book: extends to over 1100 pages, dealing with every phase of the national life and more especially with those susceptible of statistical measurement. :Atfention may be specially directed. to the sta- tistical summary of the progress of Canada included in the introductory matter and giving a pictyre in figures of the remarkable progress which the country has made since the first cen- sus of the Dominion was taken sixty two years ago in 1871. There will also be found in the introduction a list of the special articles appearing in previous editions of the Year Book Fwhich. it has not been possible to re- print in the present volunie. Chapter I deals with natural fea- tures. Chapters II and III are history, chronology and constitutional govern- ment, while the next three chapters may be found items taken from the 1931 census, The following -chapters take up production, national income, agriculture, forestry, fur trade, mines, fisheries, water power manufactures and construction, internal and external trade, live stock and animal produec- tion, transportation, telegraph and telephone, radio and the post office, mercial failures, education, judicial cellaneous administration. - A special article deals with the Imperial Eco- nomic Conference of 1932 and Empire trade agreements.

PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1933 $1.50 per year in advance a -- HOW SHALL WE SPEND OUR MONEY? Of ca course one I, remaler the adiice to the cook-- "First catch your rabbit." is to find out how we do spend it. If you would like to study this subject carefully, .it would be a good idea to secure a copy of the Canada Year Book, 1933, which has just been issued. There you could revel in facts and figures enough to swamp your imagination. Take the expenditures for railways. If you are an expert mathematician you may be able to analyze the mass of figures that are placed at your disposal, but the main fact that will likely remain with you is that the total indebtedness of the C.N.R. in 1932, was $2,754,340,828. The next fact is that the Canadian people are responsible for that indebtedness--for they own the railway. If one could understand what it is that we do own in railway lines, rolling stock, equipment, hotels, steamships, stations, and other buildings we should probably feel quite rich. Unfortunately the whole investment is not paying dividends. The total deficit for the ten years 1922-1932 was §$242,220,094. This investment is the money we pay for two parts of our national development. First, the apening up of new country (of which we seem to have done far too much). The second advan- tage is the very obvious one of-the hauling of freight, express and long distance passengers, Driefly, those who use the railways pay the charges imposed, and the Canadian people pay some fifty or sixty million dollars a year to keep the railways going. We fire something like the Irishman who was hanging on a rope many feet above ground. He was getting tired, and remarked that he ¢ould not let go, spit on his hands, and get a fresh hold. It is certain that the railway will have to curtail its operations, and 'that many services will have to be discontinued. Of course we are quite willing that this should happen in some other part of the country, and all tlic other parts of the country feel exactly the same way about the matter. If the matter grows increasingly bad, someone will have to step in and in an- arbifrary manner cut the garment to suit the cloth, = The day may not be so far stant when we may have to con- sider the idea of developing the lake front for tourist purposes without reckoning the railway as part of the picture. "This does not mean that we are advocating the removal of the railroad: LiKe any other good housekeeper, we. are, going. to hold what we have as long as we can. But the fact remains that it would be | worth 'while to consider what could be done if the railway were removed. ,, There is great room in this thought for constructive If you would like to let your imagination have a treat, just take-a-ride along Fleet Street in Toronto, and remember that twenty-five years ago that whole district was little better than a morass. It can-be done, but it requires vision and courage. Canadian affairs are sufficiently difficult for it to he necessary to consider this idea---no further extension of settled lands.until we have in some measure made better use of the land that has al- ready been opened up. Nearly all farmers have more land than they can work properly. The net result of this condition is a dangerous spread of weeds and pests. Cutting down the acreage would be a snlendid thing if it meant that the remaining land was Vetter worked and fertilized. It might easily become a fact that in the very cutting down of the acreage the crop would be hut little smaller. All this matter. is worthy. of careful attention. Whole- sale denunciation of expenditures of the Canadian National Rail- ways will not cure the whole trouble. : 'One thing is certain, the people need to be better informed as to the facts of the case-and the probable results of certain cures that are suggested from time to time. "Take our own case, which will well illustrate the situation throughout the country. It would be quite easy for the C.N.R. authorities to discontinue our line. The matter has received their serious consideration, and we have done battle to retain what we consider our rights. © For the present we have partially won the battle. It has not been a "complete triumph by any means. Suppose we had lost the fight. There is not the slightest doubt that the people here would have suffered inconvenience and worse. The C. N. R. would save, but we should lose. That is certainly what would be the immediate result. How we should be able to meet the difficulty would depend upon the ability and courage of our people. Oshawa is now bringing in a large amount of its coal by boat, and some of it finds its,way to Port Perry by truck. Admitting the pres and cons of the problem, this idea has to be considered---wh#t claims have we upon the public treasury for the support of our branch road. if it does not pay? That question does not apply merely to Port Perry. It is a question 'that might be asked in almost every community,-for that $60,000,000 is spread! over a very large territory, and a thousand communities receive a partial benefit from this expenditure of public funds for the support of the Canadian National Railway. Oshawa is even now bringing in a large amount of its co) by boat, and some of it finds | its way to Port Perry by truck. Thed Youths Sentenced on Charges of Stealing. On Tuesday of this week a trial was held before Magistrate Purdy to investigate charges of stealing against Fred Goldstone, Herbert Cochrane, and Herb Hanrahan. The charges included stealing grain from, Jas. Owen and H. W. Eagleson, and gas, oil, and grease from Grant Christie, ; Chief Constable Nesbitt has been busy for some weeks on the case; and the Magistrate, after care- fully hearing all the evidence, imposed the following sentences-- Herbert Cochrane, 18 months definite and and one year indefinite; Fred Goldstone one year less one day definite, and one year indefinite (both at the Ontario Reformatory); Herb Hanrahan three months at Whitby Gaol.

Smyth The feeling of doubt which casts its baneful shadow over so many niinds concerns itself more with the forms of - religious life and 'formulas of doctrine than with the essential ele- ments of Christianity itself. There is scarcely a form of unbelief which does not confuse these two things. The attacks of skeptics have usually been against perverted forms of religiion rather than against re- ligion itself. Infidelity for the most' part fails to discriminate between the letter and the spirit, between the outer: form and the inner soul. Considered in its inner essence and life infidelity, cannot object 'to Christianity. Christ ianity imbedded in lif¢ makes infidelity well nigh impossible. In the final analysis Christianity vitally considered is, not a human record, not a creed, not a litany, not a ritual, or organitazion. It is a life. The life of Christ in the soul, which means a Supreme love of goodness dominating the whole man and- con- trolling the whole life. Thus, the atheism to be fearedsis not intellectual so much as practical, [ivery.community and every church has its practical atheists, That is, people" who are worse than their creeds. The practical atheist is a man who does not deny intellectually but gives the lie to his erced by the manner of his life. In most com- munities there -are enough professing Christians to transform the lives of other people, if they live up to what they know and believe. The practical atheist is doing religion more harm than is the intellectual atheist. For instance here is a man who be- lieves in the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. All nominal Christians give dissent to that "belief. But this, 'intellec tual believer is .a practical atheist for-he allows intoler- ance, bigotry and bitter. partisan feel- ing to animate him in relation to other races. Racial hatred gives the lie to his creed. : _ Again the intellec {rik believer prays "Thy kingdom come." But none can deny the fact that this _prayer is hindered oy the prac tical atheism of the man who never gives a dollar or, exercises himself in anyway to answer his own prayer, and to bring the kingdom into being. Christians throughout the years have read and accepted Paul's words, "We are labovers together with God" but the word together has not "heen very operative, Theoretic: ally "and on Sundays they have believed in co- operation = but actually competition and even antagonism has been prac- tied in the affairs of men.

Things which 'com- pared with the ventures of Christ are! inhuman and even devilish. This practical atheism on the part of Western nations constitutes one of the great barriers to the missionary in the Orient.

County and which are said to have swept over an area of 1000 acres, have subsided, owing to the heavy rains of Wednesday. * Considerable of the burnt area consisted of bush that had been previously destroyed by fire, For days the smoke increased and carried in clouds all over the district. Many settlers were in terror of being: wiped-out, but, as a matter of fact no actual cases have been reported of families being forced out of their homes. Fating its way across the Dark, Wil- son, and Fetterly farms, the fire has not damaged much timber yet, but if it continues on its present course it will soon reach the valuable Hughes Estate and a large stand of timber on the Canadian Land Immigration Com- pany property. Who Leads the Liberals? T (Oshawa Daily Times) It is the considered opinion of the Ontario Command of the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League that Mr. W. FE. N. Sinclair, K.C., M.L.A., is official leader of the' Liberal party in Ontario. The matter came up at the Windsor convention the other day when there was a ques- tion as to whom a letter of apprecia- tion should be addressed. According to thé Canadian Press report the' meeting voted "overwhelmingly" in favour of sending the communication to Mr. Sinclair, rather than to Mr. Hepburn, M.P., the leader-at-large. Savs the North Bay Nuggett: "Doubtless a good many Liberals, among them the most responsible Lib- crals, wish that Mr, Sinclair actually was their leader. Or possibly they wish that Mr. Hepburn wasn't. Any- way, the Legion's action raises a fine point, Is Mr. Hepburn leader of the party, or is Mr, Sinclair? Mr. Hep- burn makes the noise, certainly. vot. Mr. Sinclair annually has the privilege of endorsing a cheque made out to himself for $3,000 drawn upon the provincial treasurer, for services ren- deved as leader of His Majesty's loyal opposition in the Legislature. Mr. ITepburn: gets the cheers and Mr. Sin- élair gets the cash. Mr. Hepburn is a member of the House of Commons, Mr. Sinclair of the Legislature. Now that the matter has come up, one is reminded that neither Mr. Hepburn not Mr. Sinclair have even discussed it on the public platform. Yet surely the voters whose suffrage they seek have the right to know. No doubt many would like to hear Mr. Hepburn on the burning question, There secms to have been firm determination not to mention the dual leadership during the speaking tours, but Mr. Hepburn, be- ing outwardly a courageous young man, should not Tiostitate about deal- ing with the issue.
