Tresidder. representative, THURSDAY, MAY 14th, 1981 "CANADA'S CONVERSION LOANS dian Press, the Canadian Daily Newbnay Aue ie: : he Minister of Finance for the Dominion | is receiving a hearty and'generous ponse in the invitation issued to the hold- of Dominion of Canada War Loan and jctory Bonds to convert their holdings into ds extending over a further period of ym 15 to 25 years. The refunding during ithe next few years of the heavy financial ob- ligations assumed by Canada during the war is 'a gigantic task, and the success of the undertaking will prove perhaps the greatest cial achievement in the history of the "Dominion of Canada. There is a total of over 2 Jone billion dollars of debentures maturing in 'the immediate future which vill have to be 'provided for in this way, and it is heped that ' dians will rally to the support of the 'government, just as they did in the first few {years of the war. i y i The disposing of Dominion Government ® loans almost exclusively to the people ofthis "Dominion, the Brantford Expositor points to practically an innovation 'of the war. "Up to that time the purse string in England always seemed to be loosened at Canada's request, and great sums of money were made avdilable to finance the development of the natural resources of this young country. 'With the advent of the war, however, John {Bull had to finance not only his own activi- Wi #ies, but, in large part, those of many of his ¢ Allies as well, to say nothing of the expense i of keeping open the commercial routes of the "high seas. As a result loans were no longer ) be had for the asking by Canada, which ad to look to the United States, or else to 'her, own citizens, With no inconsiderable measure of trepidation Canada's Finance * Winister offered his first war loan to the * Canadian people. The result was a response 'was. overwhelming, over double the amount, asked being subscribed.

Construction work throughout Canada in March showed improvement. - It is just com- mencing in the West, with the advent of spring, and still presents somewhat of a dif- ficult problem to. estimate possible volume in comparison with other years, In Winni- peg the construction of the biscuit factory and two new bridges over the Assiniboine and Red Rivers, together with the Govern- ment telephone buildings, are works of im- portance; which, together with some apart- ment blocks and residences, constitute a fair _ tion at Regina, with proposals for a central heating plant, mark the beginning of active ity. - At Saskatoon, hotel, subway and other works; at Edmonton, the rebuilding of the iron works and foundry, and other prospects are in sight; while in Calgary the new res- ervoir for the city is a major operation. At Lethbridge the néw terminal grain elevator is under construction; Vancouver and the Fraser Valley territory are busy on tunnels, piers, wharves and other public construction work, and the coast province appears to have a fair construction year before it. The build- ing trade is somewhat diffident about pros- pects, but is expectant of improvement as more details of summer work bécome avail- able. Road building schemes will continue and there will be a good deal of new build- ing and resurfacing to be done the present season. A FARMER'S FRIEND PASSES In the death on Wednesday of Honorable John 8. Martin, former minister of agricul- ture for Ontario, this province has lost a very valuable and faithful public servant, and the agricultural interests a helper and sympath- etic friend, A farmer himself, the late minister under- stood thoroughly the problems of farmers, and in his public position did much to solve these and generally improve the great agri- cultural industry. As minister of agriculture he introduced several measures favorable to the farming communities. He was particul- arly interested in creating a market in the old land for Ontario's agricultural products. He believed that the Mother country was an- xious to buy these products because of their high quality, and in this very favorable market he saw a chance for Ontario farmers to increase their earnings by increased pro- duction. For some time past, owing to illness, Hon. Mr, Martin was prevented from attending to his parliamentary duties as member for Norfolk. His death at a comparatively early age is to be regretted. EDITORIAL NOTES "Battle on cancer opens in Ontario," reads a prominent heading in a city newspaper. It is a battle which must be waged effectively in the near future if the number of deaths from this dread disease is to be reduced. Ontario, through its department of health, does well to engage actively in the battle. BC The new hymn book of the United Church of Canada, after five years of careful prep- aration, is now being placed in service, It represents a great deal of work on the part of a committee appointed for this purpose, and no doubt, the book, which is of historic interest, will be found a valugble addition to sacred music and song in Canada. Canadians are showing their faith in the Dominion by the way they are taking up the new Government bonds, No man will stick.to'a job unless he is making good, says an industrialist.

The Iris is the colored part giv in' color to the eye--blue, brown, hazel, ets., although nearly all new born babes have blue and ihe deeper the change or the complete change of color later, is due to the laying down of the pigment cells in the human body. While it is not definitely known when or why the pigment is forthcoming, the amount necessary for the change of color in the eyes is noticeable after the eighth or tenth week af- ter birth. As time goes on other features in the development of the child proves that other pigmentary changes are taking place -- the change of color in the hair. And it is to be expected that these changes each and every one, play an important part on vision, the pigment being necessary as a ligt filter. (To be continued) ERWIN CRAIGHEAD, EDITOR EMERITUS OF THE MOBILE (AL- ABAMA) REGISTER, SAYS: THAT the continued existence of this great republic depends upon the preservation of its system of duel government. No other country up to this time has had such extent of what may be called home terri- tory, go large a population or so | varied a one, and at the same time such unity of sentiment among the péople vis a vis the government, held together not by foroe but by common interest, Ordinarily, in countries so vast there is a central government which | makes the rulé for all . parts and saeks to enforce this rule upon all | che people. This succeeds as long as | there is power available for main- | taining the government. Eventually | | it falls, as Rome failed and as the | British empire is now disintegrating into many practically independent domaine. With us, on the contrary, we have both the necessary amount of een- | tral control and a wise provision of home rule. In this way, the people far removed as the Californians from the centre have their wishes considered in matters local to themselves, while yet bound to obey the general laws, made by the fed- eral congress, in which body they have proportionate representation with the rest of the people. There is a school of thinkers who say that we need more centraliza- tion and more power and authority in the central -government, and some even say it would be a good thing to have a dictatorship to rule 80 great a country. Both are vital- 1y mistaken. No central government and no dictator can be wise enough to rule satisfactorily upon the mani- fold problems that present them- selves. locally. It is quite impossi- ble to made the local interests of all the people harmonize. We can- not get Michiganders and Alaba- mians to think the same way in all things, especially in regard to their local concerns. As long as both are free to think as they please, they are content, for, even if they think unwisely, they recognize that what results, is their own fault, and not that of some distant, dictatorial government, IT 18 THIS FEELING OF FAIR PLAY THAT HOLDS THE ATTEN- TION.

A BIG STANDING ARMY TO KEEP IT M our SWEEPSTAKE BILL Method of Aiding Hospitals ~~ Scored by Middlesex Presbytery London, May 14.--The bill to legalize sweepstakes for Canadian hospitals met with emphatic opposi- tion at the closing session of the Church of Canada in Calvary church yesterday, The resolution, which declared nate of the Dominion, "is mot in the best interests of the people of Canada," will be followed up by a deputation visiting J. Frank White, M. London, and thé parliamen- tary representatives of the gounty | than you are in England?" 'mistresses were. chos asking their, co-operation in fight- ing the measure. Copies of the reso- lution will be sent to Premier Ben« nett, and to each recording steward within the presbytery for presenta- tion to the official boards of-the var- ious churches. 3 The' question of observing .the Lord's Day was again {introdued, and the claim put forward that Sun- day dancing, games, and stunt fly- ing at the London airpott should be opposed. Rev. J, Morley Colling, of Lambeth, sdid the deputation which had visited the County Council re- garding Sunday dancing in the roadhouses had been cordially re- ceived, but that body had pointed | out that the roadhouses were pri- marily for the serving of food, and there seemed to be no way of stop- ping -daneing; which -was claimed to be carried on as a casual sideline by the patrons. iv HEADMISTRESSES VISIT EDMONTON Canada Is Much Larger Than They Expected, Say Eng- lish Women (By The Canadian Press) Edmonton, Alta, May 13.--Warm praise for the wide-spread and splendid work of the department of extension, University: of Alberta, which was something new to the British visitors was voiced by Miss M. F. Adams, headmistress of Queen Mary's high school, Liver- pool, in an address at the close of the luncheon tendered the party of 12 British headmistressed by the | University. "What is the 'biggest thing' you have here?" the visitors--muow agc- customed to having the biggest 'dos, bigrest docks and even the "iggeri bears in the world, 'nted out to them by proud Can- Hane, inquired as they were ghown over the campus and buildings * of '1I'er.a's young university. They ere told modestly that Edmonton hadn't a 'bigzest anything.' " However, Miss Adams sald that he was inclined to think the work | of the extension department some- thing very big in Canada, perhaps Lhe biggest thing in the University of Alberta, After being shown over! RC. the university here by Dr. Wallace, Miss Adams was remind- ed of the '"'Scotsman"s Prayer," sometimes quoted, grace to pray for the richt things for ye ken what we are when our | mind's made up." She thought the University of Alberta must praved for the right things. "We have a definite shortage of nurses--well-trained nurses," stat- ed Miss Edith . Thompson, party leader, "while you seem to have an | oversupply. Your training methods in the hospitals are particularly ef- fective, "Do you find we are more inclin- ed to mass production in education Miss Thomson was asked. "in the field of nursing, in which my interesg lies, 1 find it quite opposite," she replied. "Have you found that Canadian pri- vate schools are handled upoh lines more elosely approximating the English secondary gduestion than | public schdols?" sie was agked. "While it is true that many of your private schools are managed upon the English principles I do not find | any great difference hetween the Canadian and English methods in| any case," she answered. "But 1 am not one the headmistresses," she | continued. "T am handling the tour | arrangements, but my field is that | of nursing." Apart from the educational in- terests of the headmistresses, they expressed a great surprise, as indi- cated at Canada's development. "It's so much larger than we expect- ed," one of the party stated. "Things are managed so well here." Presenting Love Birds Becomes a Fashion (By The Canadian Press), Montreal, Que, May 13.-- Fashion. will do much to enhance the price of an animal says 'Andrew Wilsen, who is a visitor in this city. For instance, when Prince Takamatsu, of Japan, took back a Budgerigar, a kind of love bird, as a present from England for his bride-to-be, some time ago, it became the fash- fon to present such birds to future brides in Japan. with the result that the demand put the price of these birds up to a fabulous extent. From $50 a pair the price jumped to $875. Mr. Wilson had many interesting things to say about these budgeri- gar. There is a Budgerigar, Society which has members from all parts of the world. King George is patron, the only royal patron of a natural- ist society in the world. Mr. Wilson happens {0 be the chairman of this society for 1931. From the original birds of two colors the members of the society, by experimenting on the basis of the Mendelian laws, have produced a variety of budger- igars including many colors, and, when a new color species is estab- lished, the value of these is very high, he sald. GIRLS' SCHOOLS MUCH THE SAME IN CANADA (By The Canadian Press) - -- Edmonton, Alta, May 13.--The traditions on which girls' schools in England have been built, since they were first established in Englan some 60 or 70 years ago were deal with in an address given by Miss Ella Ransford, headmistress of Croydon girs' "séhool ¢ before a large gathering of Edmonton uni-] versity women and teachers recent. Wii mip ¢ "it was in the teeth of public opin. fon that,courageous women stepped forward in 'Initiating the movement of girls' schools Miss Ransford, Up to 1867 education fo®, in England was Of a very meagre: and therg was little: movement was to tra { the unpaid work: of the world; the greater literary men of the day [§ I were called into conference pare the courses.

It is from these women that the schools have taken their traditions, Miss Ransford stated. : le games were forbidden, as unlal they were encouraged in others, she stated. Classes were held only in the mornings £o that girls could de- vote their afternoons to learning the art of home-making and even yet in the day schools, Migs Rans- ford said, classes in the afternoons are voluntary. TRAINING AIRPLANE IS GIVEN TO Wl] Government 3 Makes Pre- sentation to University Here Montreal, May 13.--A new de- »arture in civil aviation, and one of considerable significance, was made at the St. Hubert airport Sunday, when the McGill Light Airplane Club acknowledged for- mal reception of a training plave from the Dominion Government. Incidentally, McGill is she first Canadian University to acquire possession of a plane from ¢hz Do- minion, Government, and 'his was realized only after four years %of effort on the part of the universi- ty's club committee, Under leaden skies and in a hlis- tering wind, a goodly crowd of jo- cal aviation enthusiasis gathered at the airport to witness the chris @y-like, in some of the schools, | tening . J. A. Wilson, comptroi- ler of civil aviation at Ottawa, of- ficially delivered the 'plane to the club, whilst Col. Wilfrid Bovey ac- cepted it on behalf of tl:e students. Mrs, Bovey christened the machine. chine, Bears Crest The new plane is a "Gypsy Moth" and bears the red and white erest of the university, Theoreti- cally the 'plane remains the nrop- erty of the Federal Government, but for all practical purposes be- longs to the club. The "plane will be housed in the hangar of the Montreal Light Aeroplane Club with which the McGill flying body is affiliated. 3 The craft arrived here Friday from Toronto in charge of Capt. R. H. Spooner, local flying insiructor The university's flying club, estab- lished four years ago, 1s the oldest of its kind in Canada. Compliments M«Gill In tendering the 'plane on pe- half of the Government, Comp- troller Wilson complimented Mec- Gill on the interest jit had manifest- ed in the development of aviation, As Canada's leading institution, this was fitting and proper, he said "It is to organizations such as yours that we look for the future success of aviation," he said. "It is gratifying to note that McCill, us a seat of learning, is taking an ac- tive part in flying. Just as your University is foremost in o~ts ard sciences, so will it be a leader in aviation First Burglar (at safe): 'Ere, Bill, this safe's full o' coppers."

Theatened with the loss of .the market through the probable ¢los- ing of a large milk plant in the town, the farmers of the, district held a series of meetings under the chairmanship of M. T, Robb, bro- ther of the late Finance Minister. of Canada, culminating with a meet- ing Saturday night when it was de~ cided to proceed with the erection of co-operative plant, A board of directors is to -he named shortly and a site chogen for the new factory. The Quebec Department of Agriculture Has shown its interest in the matter by making available helpful infor- mation, and promising a sum of money at moderate interest rates. The farmers of the district have al- ready subscribed several thousands towards the new project, THE SECRET Everybody thought that Lola Kai | was a charming girl. That was part- | ly due to Lola's habit of keeping up friendships, "It's so easy nowadays," says Lola. "One simply' telephones people. Distance doesn't matter to Lom; Distance!"
