ALCAN, 8 am.--Holy munion, Com- the production of wine in Canada hoved an increase of $1,879,830 over the previous year, and stated that there were nine more wineries in operation, Official figures for the year 1938 show that 4,805, 422 gallons of natve wine and 1, 181,192 gallons of imported wines were consumed in Canada; which means that an average of two quarts of wine is used for every man, woman and child iu the Dom- inion, te of Wins But, you say, wine is harmless, {t you think so, ask Magistrate Jones of Toronto, who has had to deal repeatedly with the results ot wine drinking in his court. A 11 a.m.~~Mérning Pray- er, 2.30 p.m.~Sunday School. 7 p.m~Evensong, Choir--"0 Come Let Us Sing" Baptisms second Sunday each month. short time ago, after sentencing a prisoner to jail for a month cause of imbibing too freely ot wine, Magistrate Jones sald, "Some learned professors have been telling me I am wrong about wine; that wine is harmless. They don't come here." Sir Henry Drayton, chairman oi the liquor control board of Ontar fo, in commenting a few months ago upon legislation which was be- ing introduced by the attorney oi Ontario to bring the sale of wine under a permit system, the same as spiritous liquors, said, '"There¥ was so much drunkenness due t: wine drinking that we had to d« something. Our information fror the police and the crown attorne was to the effect that 35 percen of all the drunkenness was due to wine," The Harm Xt Does Speaking in Boston recently, Dr. Francis G, Benedict, director of the Carnegie nutrition labora- tory since 1907, gave as his consid- ered opinion that alcohol, even in small quantities in light wines, is injurious to the human system. Speaking as a physiologist, and basing his decision on years ot study, he sald: "A person who may not show the slightest sign of in- toxication is being harmed in ways that involve his own well-being and that of others whose safety may depend upon his clear vision and steady hand." One of the tests conducted by Dr, Benedict demon- strated that a small quantity ot wine taken by the driver of an au- tomoble would bring about a marked decrease in the speed with which the eye could be turned to look to the side. "No one is safe driving an automobile with his abi- lity to glance quckly to the side impaired by nearly 50 percent,' he sald. Another opinion comes to us statement of Dr, G. Aschaffenbu: - that "Moderate drinking reduc the workers' efficiency. The r tion that moderate drinking helps an artisan in hig dally work is false. The average working pow: er through drinking one-half pint of wine was reduced 8.7 percent." Produces Instability The International Congress on Mental Hygiene which met in Washington in May, heard the statement of Dr, K. . Bowman, president of the Duteh Society of Mental Hyglene, to the effect that experiments made in Europe show conclusively that even minute quantities of alcohol (much less than the amount our native wine contains), produce a dangerous condition of instability in the indi- vidual, which is only different In degree from actual drunken- ness, and that "even very small | doses injure perception, memoriza- tion, conception and attention." This opinion was endorsed by Dr. Wiliam Weygandt of the Univer. sity of Hamburg, and Dr. John Plitz, professor in the University of Krakow, declared that *"'aleohol- ism was disastrous to both mind and body." Appetite Increases It Is an established fact that multitudes of men and women who begin with wine soon find that an appetite has been created which wine will not satisfy, and so a stronger spiritous liquor is sought. Each drink intensifies the desire for more because alcohol is a ha- bit-forming drug of which the hu- man system continually demands more and more ip order to satisfy the craving. Lamb's Experience Listen to Charles Lamb's experi- ence with wine and the warning it carries. "Could the youth," he says 'to whom the flavor of his first wine is delicious as the open- ing scenes of life, or the entering upon some newly discovered para- dise, look into my desolation and be made to understand what a dreary thing it is when a man shal, feel himself going down a preci- pice with open eyes and a passive will--to see his destruction, and have no power to stop it, and yet to feel it all the way emanating from himself; to perceive a good- ness emptied out of him, and yet not be able to forget a time when it was otherwise; to bear about the piteous spectacle of his own self- ruins--could he see my fevered eye, feverish with last night's drinking, and feverishly looking for this night's repetition of the folly; could he feel the body ol the death out of which I cry hour. ly with feebler and feebler outcry to be delivered--it were enough to make him dash the sparkling beverage to the earth in all the pride of its mantling temptation.' Sow a thought, reap an act, ° Sow an act, reap a habit Sow a habit, reap a character, A wholesome truth is containea in this old adage, BOOKS AS REAL The man who has not come to look upon his books as friends, very dear friends, to whom he can turn at all times of need for coms panioning and intimacy and real fellowship, has never come to know all that a book may be to a man. The idea that a book is an inani- mate thing is quite wrong. Any book that has value at-all has a soul; Into it'a man has poured liv- ing, breathing thoughts, throbbing ideals and ambitions, that you can no more kill than you can blot out the sun. It takes a living, breath. Ing soul on the outside to arouse that life within, but there is no doubt about it being there and ready to respond to any touch of in. timacy and understanding. And the best of it is that books may be such understanding friends, Sometimes you have gone to real flesh and blood friends and have been disappointed in them. They didn't understand your need at the time, and they had no word or thought or attitude to match your mood, But you never went in all your life to a little row of good books and went in vain. If you were sluggish, they quickened you; if you were lonesome, they took you by the hand and led you along a lovely friendly road; they gave you comedy, or tragedy, or tendeér- ness, or romance, or poetry, or beauty, or stern righteousness, just as your need was. And they asked nothing in return only that they might help you and come into your day with strength and courage and comfort and enlightenment, How many great And good hooks there are in the world waiting to be your friends and mine. Sometimes this seems to be a somewhat un~ friendly world, but it can never be altogether such to the one who has led, Melbourne, Australia, Dec. 6.--~The Australian Labor movement refuses any longer to be associated with the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secretar- iat, In other words, Australian Labor is not radical enough for further al- liance with the international body above-named, which is accused of be- ing 4 Communist body of Russian | i origin, | The Australian Council of Trades | Unionists hotly debated the matter | before the proposal to renew its affili ation with the secretariat was defeat It was charged the secretariat was a "hole and corner" affair--that | it represented only 400 persons in the cast; that it was a "heterogenous mob of Asiatics and five white men." 'I'he motion for affiliation was lost Ly 80 votes to 75. And immediately afterwards, a re- solution was carried affirming the council"s allegiance to the traditional "white Austrilia" policy, Another motion to reaffiliate with the Secre- tariat met an even worse fate. It was defeated by 75 votes to 53. The Secretariat was established it a conference in Hankow in 1927. It was to be a permanent organ of in- formation and propaganda. Delegat- es from Australia and India were pre- vented from attending, it is said, through the actions of the respective governments. And the conference as- sembled represented certain left wing organizations in China, Russia, Jap- an, Jaw, Korea, France, United Stat- es and England. In its constitution are a number of resolutions, one of which reads: "To help all the op- pressed people of the Pacific to liber- ate themselves trom the yoke of Im- perialism," and another, "to fight agaginst and remove all racial and national barriers and prejudices which still divide the exploited class- es and opptensd eoples to the ad- vantage of the exploiters and oppres- sors." Garnet Vere Portus, writer and professor of English, formerly en- gaged in the Austrailian military censorship, writes in "Pacific Affairs" (Journal of the Institute of Pacific Relations) of this important develop ment of Australian Labor. The pol- itical Labor movement was born in 1890. In its early years it was inter- nationalist--witness the generous gift of $150,000 to the strike fund of the London dockers, 1890, In less than 13 years Labor was at the helm of the national govern- ment--which it again bas assumed-- and both in commonwealth and states it has controlled a considerable num- ber of the governments ever since. One by one were forged in parlia- ments the acts on which Labor relies --arbitration, shipping acts, workers' insurance, child endowment and the like.
