SINCLAIR PREDICTS ONTARIO ELECTION Ballot Boxes Now Being Prepared at Queen's Park Leader Says GOING TO COUNTRY Government Will not be on Vacation Either, He tells Mount Dennis Rally Toronto, Aug. 19.--"There will be another election soon," W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the provincial opposition, stated on Saturday. In face of Premier G. Howard Fergu- son's denial, Mr. Sinclair told = large gathering at the Roselands school, "that the present govern- ment would shortly go to the coun- try--and not for 4 vacation, eith- er." Mr. Sinclair told his audience that the ballot boxes were already being prepared at Queen's Park. "And what is more," said the op- position chief, "it is going to be a straight election. The government employés can take notice right now that ballots must be in the boxes aig u t floating around the streets or rooms adjoining the polling booths." Mr, Sinclair referred to the South Ottawa incident of the last provincial election. "The South Ottawa scanda: meant an amendment to the elec- tion act, not because the govern- ment wanted it, but because I forc- ed them to change it," declared the Liberal leader. 'South Ottawa showed us exact- ly how loosely and crookedly an election could be conducted. No one can take the chance of having that happen again." Mr. Sinclair was the principal speaker at the annual picnic of the Mount Dennis Liberal Community club. "This is a country where all share in the government," he stat- ed. "Leadership is necessary to express the ideas of the party, hut dictatorship is not for Ontario." Mr. Sinclair alleged that the ola age pensions were being unfairly managed under the Ferguson gov- He insisted that many deserving old aged people in the province would be deprived of their pensions through the policy of the government in barring pensions to those with children who are able to maintain them. The Liberal leader felt that the pensions board should provide for all alike, and assume upon them- selves the responsibility of prose- cuting the children for support. Un- der the present ruling the pension board can and does deny pensions to those with children with means of supporting them. The board can, without the consent of the crown attorney, compel children to support their parents. Under the parents maintenance act the par- ents can, with the consent of the crown attorney, compel their chil- dren to support them. ernment. >, "I think that it is the duty of the owner of the kitten for sherfeels : chil-|. is | on we -- ~ Produce Prices in the Commercial Markets " TORONTO oR ODUCE vin 'oronto ers are o pro. ] oli go at the following ori.

But it was Prof. Eben N. Horsford, Rumford professor of che- mistry at Harvard University, who in 1889 built Norumbega Tower near the Waltham-Weston boundary line to mark what be believed was the site of a Norse settlement dating back to the year 1000. The settlement, it will be recalled, is spoken of in the Saga of Eric the Red. It is probably true. that, in those early days, the explorers of the North American coast on the east gave the name "Norumbega" to various sites, as well as to a river and to a myth- ical Indian city. In 1539 the name was applied to the whole coast from Cape Breton to Florida. Mercator's map, published in 1541, locates an "Anorumbega" near the Hudson River. : The origin of the word has been attributed to many languages; as an Indian word meaning "still waters," and a Spanish word meaning "fields" arid as a Norse word, taken from "Norvegr" meaning Norway. Professor Horsford was not only a professor of chemistry, he was a dis- coverer; he put a new face on the Christian missionary achievement by revealing the once unknown Chris- tian continent of faith and thought. In Wellesley College, where he taught, he devoted one room to a col- lection of literature from the peo- ples that had no literature, that is to say, until' Christianity came. He made a collection of languages re- duced to writing, of alphabets made, of grammars and dictionaries printed and, from the translater Bible, the nucleus of literature; all this was in addition to his work as an antiquarian in historical and geographical fields. Professor Horsford did not believe that the rench or English discover- ers in the fifteenth, sixteenth and even the seventeenth centuries were responsible for the evidences of oc- cupancy in New England before the Pilgrims, but that they went back HEAT YOUR HOME THE DIXON WAY Now Is The Time to Fill Your Coal Bin With That Good Jeddo Coal - And All Other Good Fuel Solvay Coke FOR THE Gravel, Sand, And Building Material DIXON COAL BUILDER Stone, Lime AND SUPPLIES Telephone 262 FOUR DIRECT LINES direct to the Norsemen. The sagas tell that mainly, in Vineland the Norse explorers conducted their mer- cantile intérests. Their trade was in furs, fish, masur wood and agricul- tural products. This barter probably extended over a period of 350 years, from 1000 until the last Norse ship put back to Iceland, perhaps about 1347. Norumbega Tower was raised be- cause Professor Horsforr believed it was very near by that Leif Ericson built his home and the amphitheater on the borders of the Charles River Certainly the site, four miles above tide water on the river, bears out to some degree Professor Horsford's contention that here was the center of Norse trading activities in New England.

It is the musical drink of ice against metal: the symphony of the cocktail has begun. It has been going on all day, in smart hotels, at amusing luncheon parties, in the houses - of wealthy people. It is part of London's varied, rich tapestry. More Habit than Vice Women sit and feverishly, earnest- ly, discuss their personal problems, and ten shillings has gone in cock- tails in less time than it takes to darn a pair of 'socks. Cocktails, with the worried blonde are evidently more a habit than a vice, There are the Americans staying in the Grand Babylon, who come down to drink "sidecars" and "Blue Mondays" before they dine. They look as respectable as anything Clapham or Hendon can produce: the two women in this particular group are sweet-faced and dowdy, the men are talking about golf and money. A "Blue Monday" is not really blue. It has the sinister, greenish tint of the sea before a storm. If anything could lower your spirits on a July ev- ening in London the color of a "Blue Monday" would. But the Americans lap it up. The women take three between two of them. Evidently they have not yet exhausted the novelty of openly or- dering their drinks in a non-Pussy- foot country. That Innocent Taste My own "Snake-in-the-Grass" slips down my throat with all the violent charm of the unfamiliar; it tastes as innocent as lemonade (but you wait a bit!) There is no violent charm expressed in the eyes of these men and women, looking expressionlessly across the frosted rims of their glasses. A boy in his early twenties, and a girl a year or two older sit together in silence at a table near me, The tulle dress of the girl is the color of violets, her velvet wrap the color of Parma violets. Her hair is dressed in a fussy cloud like a French-woman, her face is pale and petulant, : She is drinking--most unexpetcedly --a "clover club," that pink, sweetish cocktail which is often patronisingly recommended by waiters "for the lady, sir." Clover Club, the ingenue of cock- tails! But the girl who sips it is not en- joying it. For all the kick she seems to get from its deceptive frothy pink- ness, it might be barley water. These two have not said a word for ten minutes. The people drinking cocktails-in the lounge of the Grand Babylon to-night are little groups of men and women, and women in pairs. Men alone, or in pairs, do not seem to drink cock- tails; they drink brandy-and-soda or whisky-and-soda. Cocktails, it appears, are a social flourish, as well as a drink for wo- men.
