One hundred and forty. of those shareholders are either dead or have moved away. Of the remaining one hundred and sixty-three many have passed their skating and sport days, |: and have ceased to attend meetings where they struggle with financial problems, and' wonder what kind of program , will induce the local fans to patronize their own rink; and en- courage the growing boys and young men to put their best foot forward.

The Chamber contends that the Supreme Court ruling found the Act was unconstitutional "without the co-operation of the Provincial Legislatures" but that the fact that enabling Provincial legisla: tion has:been.passed:by Provincial Legislature which would have .made the Act valid was not presented: before the Supreme Court. & 0 FRR eel ERE a "Toronto's first taste of night-club life went over in a big way on 'Friday: when the Club Esquire, latest addition to the city's gay- spots, opened its doors for the first time. More than 1,000 people made the revamped Old Payilion at Parkside Drive and Lakeshore Road their rendezvous for the evening and many were turned away. The cash offering was also satisfactory to the pro- prietor, Bill Beasley. It was estimated that $10,000 was paid in during the evening. And there would have been more revenue had there been room for all who desired to attend the opening night. "I gambled $60,000 on. this venture, and I've got it all 'back in the satisfaction of knowing that the people of Toronto really want a night club", said Mr. Beasley. "I have imported all my acts from the best hotels in New York and Chicago as well as from the hit musical shows of Broadway. Everyhody has been telling me this would be my Waterloo. I may be crazy, but 1 think the first night's crowd shows that my bet is already won." Russ Morgan's NBC network band was one of the features of the entertainment, ' It was imported specially for opening night. 5% 8 0» A sharp warning that the courts of Ontario "are not to be intimidated by-the Executive", was sounded by Mr. Justice C. A. Masten in a vigorous pronouncement from the Bench in obvious retort to Premier Hepburn's charge that he (Mr. Justice Masten) had been "discourteous" to the Government of the Province. 3 ® 8 a Conclusion of a new trade agreement between the Unitea Kingdom and Argentina, reported, is a matter of first-rate import- ance to Canada since the South American Republic is a competitor of the Dominion in the British market. No details of the new pact are yet available here, but it is believed Britain will buy most of the wheat and dressed beef products in Argentina. The huge ranches and meat packing concerns of that country are owned largely by British capital, as well as the railways. * More- over; Argentina is a very important market for the manufactured products of the United Kingdom, and the steamships' which ply between Europe and South America are controlled mostly by British interests. ~~ oi " : SRT Dn ® 8 . Mathers & Haldenby, architects, of Toronto, have béen as- signed the task of designing the most modern newspaper building in Canada, which will serve as a home for The Globe and Mail. The structure will be erected on the northest corner of King and York Streets and will have a width of 107 feet on King Street and a 'dept of 180 feet on York Street, extending north to Pear Street. The edifice, which will be named the William H. Wright Building, will be equipped entirely with new machinery, which will be built to order and designed to meet requirements for the an- ticipated expansion of the second largest English newspaper in Canada. Construction of the new Globe and Mail home will com- mence early in the new year, and it is expected that the building will be ready for occupation and operation before the commence- ment of 1938. The entire structure will be devoted to the publica- tion of the newspaper. din Zeige TT Army and navy appropriations composed almost half of Japan's record-breaking 3,041,000,000 yen (about $870,000,000) budget for 1937-88, approved by the Cabinet. Less than five per cent. was allotted to education. Despite the increase of about 78,000,000 yen ($19,664,000) over the current budget, appro- priations for both branches of the armed forces were reduced by approximately 200,000,000 yen. {$67,200,000.) Arguments in favour of writing a billion and a half dollars off the capital structure of the Canadian National Railways were advanced by Hon. C. D. Howe, speaking before the University Liberal Club at Hart House. 'When a company. shows an operat- ing loss at the end of a year, its shareholders do not add.that amount to the capitalization of the firm, but that, in effect, is what has been done with the C:N.R." he said. "Before Confederation} $15,000,000 was loaned to the Grand Trunk Railway. This amount has been carried in the accounts and interest paid on it. Also from year to year cash grants were made to the Canadian North- ern.and the Grand Trunk. This did not add to the capital, but, rather replaced capital that was lost", he said. The Minister of Transport said he believed the people of Canada were ready for a trans-Canada airways" system, and expressed confidence that the system proposed by the Federal Government would be in operation hy next July. By that time the ground crews would be the equal PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8rd, 1986 = AO "Our Library Of course fiction leads in the nam- ber of hooks read. After all, that is as it should be, for fiction _ tells of life as it is, or as some people sup- pose it is. And we are all interested in life. - Some. day, perhaps, we cau recall a few of the good authors that may have been overlooked in the flood of new hooks that keep finding a place on the shelves of "Our Library", TRAVEL Just now, however, it will be worth while to glance through the Travel Section and take a trip on "The Fly- ing Carpet" with Richard Haliburton; walk "In the Steps of the Master" as seen by H. V. Morton; the "Land of the Black Pagoda" by Lowell Thomas; and a host of others who with camera and pen have revealed a world that is growing smaller year by year. Haliburton is a racy, adventurous writer, who holds the attention of the reader by the impetus of his words, and the heauty of is descriptions. Take this introduction to "The Fly- ing Carpet": hE "Ten thousand feet above the Cali- fornia hills, The airplane sailed through the sky with the ease and grace of a gull. It hurdled the clouds, soared above the mountain tops, dived toward the sea, and skimmed the waves. Two sets of gleaming golden wings extended on either side of the scarlet body. The motor and cowling were shining black; the tail was ag gold as the wings, 'And' down each side in small letters stretched a name --The Flying Carpet. In this. ship, with fleet lines and flashing colours, I was setting forth once again on the royal road to romance." In your travels with Haliburton you visit Gibraltar, a grim rock in an azure setting; alight at an oasis in the Sahara Desert; fly to Timbuc- too and see that weird cloud of storks that settled on.-the city,. With true magic you are wafted to the home of | the Foreign Legion--Algeria. Fancy free you go to the ends of the earth and see the beauties' and wondrous sights that were hidden from the eyes of the wise and the rich a few cen- turies--yes, a few years ago. Now, the "beauties and the glories of the world are pages in a thrilling book-- "The Flying Carpet." H. V. Morton does not move with the swiftness of Haliburton. His is a more leisurely and informative style. When he goes "in search" of Scotland, | or Wales, or any other place, you could read his descriptions -and use them as a guide book in actual travel. Take his word picture' of "The Shrine" at Edinburgh in "In Search of Scotland". We have not roam for all of it, but this extract will give some idea of his treatment of the subject: "I think the Cenotaph in London and the National Shrine in Edinburgh are the most remarkable symbols in existence of the tempermental dif- ference between the two nations. One is Saxon, and inarticulate; the other is Celtic and articulate. "Grief locks the English heart, but it opens the Scottish. The Celt has a genius for the glorification of sorrow. All his sweetest songs are sad; all his finest music is sad; all his greatest poetry springs from tragedy. "That is why Scotland has built the greatest war memorial in the world. "The 'Flowers of the Forest' have all turned to stone." There are only three. pages in the complete descrip- tion, but they are a wonderfully clear picture of the "Shrine." It is almost inexcusable for any intelligent person to be ignorant of the world in which he lives, in these days when there is such. a wealth of travel literature When the mind can flash like light- ning from Abysinnia to Spain; when England, Germany, France, Italy, are names daily in our newspapers, it is time that we had some clear mental picture of these countries, and the people who to-day are actually our neighbours.

They were travelling south when they noticed a bus headed north down, and then started to go by. As he got near the end of the bus Mrs. Duniop walked directly into the path of the Solloway car.

The windows of the Solloway car had to be broken so that the occu- pants could get out, . The left-hand door handle of the Sololway car tore a hole in the side of Mrs. Dunlop, who also suffered injuries to head and hip.

The evening had been changed from our regular night of Tuesday in order to have with us the speaker of the evening. The meeting was under the leadership of the missionary con- vener. Mrs. Jas. Harding favoured with an old familiar song which was much appreciated. Rev. J. J. Black, of Cambridge St. United Church, Lindsay, 'was the guest speaker for the evening. His talk was along the line of Missions. He spoke on the great mission of Paul. How he began his work in Asin and through God's leading was turned toward Europe. It is from just the same missionary of Bible days that. Christianity spread out and followed westward until it reached our own country. People who are not interested in missions simply do not understand nor possibly wish to understand their foundation. We were very pleased to have with us the president of the Y. P.
