Tresidder, representative. oy TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10th, 1931 Armistice It is now thirteen years since the bugles sang truce on the battlefields of France and Belgium, bringing to a close the hostilities in the greatest war in all history. It is thirteen years since the worries and anxie- ties of those who had dear ones over there in the slaughter were lifted in their hearts. These thirteen years -- what have they brought? 'On the face of things, we have had thir- teen years of peace. But we have found that it takes a long time to learn all the lessons of the war, and the greatest lesson of all, that hate and selfishness breed misery, seems still to be unlearned. It takes a long time to teach the world that kindness of heart is the true fountain of all human happiness. Yes! We have had thirteen years of so- called peace. But they have been years of turmoil and unrest. They have been years of strife between man and fellow-man, years that have brought much hardship, mueh suffering, much of grief in their train. There could be real peace, if we could but grasp the secret of it. Those men who are honored on Armistice Day had the secret. The secret of peace is self-sacrifice, willingly made. That is the lesson which these men pass on to us as they walk the streets of God beyond the skies. They sacrifice their all that peace might come on earth. Should we not all be willing, at this time of Re- membrance, to think of that sacrifice, and to re-dedicate our lives anew, so that we $0 Tho are left behind may be worthy of the ideals for which they died, may do our ~ share to bring about that better understand- ing, that finer spirit of kindness of heart, that we can truly have a world in which ruling spirit will be "Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward Men."

I Building and Prosperity Recently the suggestion was put forward "that one of the chief essentials to creating . prosperity was a revival of the building n , because when that industry is flourishing, then all the industries which Supply building agerials Weald enjoy a that would provide much employ- 'ment. Taking this in eonjunction with the fact that the amount of money in savings deposit accounts in Canada has increased by many millions of dollars in the last year, one would naturally come to the con- lusion that there are thousands of people 'who financially, in a position to invest théir money in home building. It may be said that it requires courage undertake home-building in times like- 'the present, yet it must be recognized that rs measures are necessary to pull he world out of the slough of despond. [any people have delayed building plans for long periods, because of their fear of the future. Many others have put off other pilding jobs, not because they have not b the a because they are afraid 'One of the essentials, then, to Et Siar Pr 1 © 5 y A with a confidence in what the future is There are scores of types of building + - } 'eo - projects, however, which might be under- taken without heavy expenditures but which would, in the mass, provide a large amount of work. A letter we received the other day ° suggested that people with increased savings accounts might well loosen up, by adding to their homes, repairing their homes, having storm windows built, having roofing, painting and paperhanging done, having the plumbing renovated, having eavestroughing work undertaken, and over- hauling the heating system. There are some suggestions which might fit many of those who could afford to invest money in home improvements. This type of work would cover a wide field of industry, and would help to create a sufficient volume of employment to make a material difference in the general situa- tion. And it should be remembered that when employment is stimulated, business of all kinds benefits, and there is a general improvement, which will be felt in a wide- spread manner, right through the whale fabric of productive industry. Deportation Abuses (Winnipeg Tribune) Twenty Polish immigrants living in Win- nipeg have been involuntarily deported during the past ten days. It is a just and serious ground for complaint. Three years ago, Canadian immigration agents 'were scouring Europe for prospec- tive immigrants. Three years from now they will be doing it again. But what will be their success when every immigrant de- ported merely because of his misfortune will constitute an ocular and audible argu- ment against immigration to this country? When this Dominion looks again to Eur- ope for population, as it inevitably will, it will cost thousands of dollars in advertising and persuasive effort to counteract the un- favourable impression of Canada created by every immigrant now unjustly deported. Poverty was never a crime. It is even less of a crime today when Canada is in the grip of a condition that affects the whole world. To penalize by deportation those foreigners whose only offence is mis- fortune due to world conditions is unfair to our immigrants and bad business for Can- ada.

Britain has the one central government; there is nothing which compares to our provincial system of rule, and although 615 appears to be a fairly formidable number of parliamentarians it is not so great as the number waich we have in Canada, Counting the federal and provincial bodies in Can- ada we find this result: Ottawa Alberta British Columbia Manitoba Nova Scotia Ontario Quebec .

"No", replied the man absently, "but I borrowed a bit from Alice." Parent--Look liere, my boy, you are in the sec- ond grade and still can't count over 10, What will become of you?

Little Betty gazed wt her reflection in the mirror, "That's me!" she said, cheerfully, "No, Betty, you should say 'That is I'" corrected her mother, "Well," answered Betty, emphatically, after an- other glance at the mirror, "it may look like 'I' to you, but it looks like 'me' to me!"

Quebec FREDERICK GE RG Eye Care and Eye Strain by C. H. Tuck, Ops. D, (Copyright, 1928) nt Sight Saving. Part 3. Amongst the conditioss to be considered are absolute hypero- pia, amblyopia, myopia and astig- mation, These are quite familiar to. us but when in their high de- grees of error and uncommonly distributed between the two eyes in such a manner as to allow one eye to lag, they begin to present problems which demand our very best. Experience has proved to us that by development the amblyo- pic eye will regain its vision and we know that this may be done in not one but both eyes if neces- sary. Defective vision if allowed its freedom {is progressive and with our best attention is hard to hold in check when the eyes are held too constantly to study and close work. Many of the serious conditions are known to be hereditary. It |b we are dealing with a child re- member that the tissues of. the eyes of children are plastic and easily moulded and If neglected may attain to very discouraging conditions of error, likewise being plastic may be corrected to grow more normal day by day. Give na- ture a chance to work with you on these cases rememberign that many highly defective cases are governed, controlled, or to a great degree caused by f{llness, over- work, undernourished conditions and injury. (To be continued) Some cities need to get their col- lective affairs into the hands of men who are competent and capable of handling them. It is a foolish community that will allow any factional differences to permanently disintegrate its citizen ship. Foolishness should be stopped. Every citizen should . remember his duty to his home city and rea- lize, no matter what his opinions are, there is no need of carrying on hostilities forever, Citizens should get together, get down to business and BUILD THE HOME CITY.

With much of the crop yet to be threshed red clover seed production is much larger than for a number of years, and the total yield may ex- ceed 4,000,000 Ths. Major increases in production are reported from Eastern Ontario and Quebec.

The broom industry has pro- vided work for Europeans and natives, as well as a market for the broom corn crops of the Province. There are three broom fac- tories along the reef and a fourth in Rustenburg, These are now faced with the problem of meet- ing the competition of Italian- made brooms landed at Durban at prices varying from $2.25 to $3.00 a dozen, as compared with $3.75 to $4.50 for the South African made article. According to manufacturers, the competition {is already so keen that factory costs have been cut to a minimum and any further reduction in prices must be at the expense of the grower cf broom corn. Unless some pro- tection is given to the local in- dustry, the four Transvaal fac- tories, it is stated, must eventu- ally close down for lack of the necessary raw material, One satisfying thing about a sales- man's visit is that you don't have to return it, Likes Idea! "The project undertaken by the Oshawa Kinsmen's Club and the Associzted Welfare Society is one that I can heartily endorse. The Kinsmen's Club in Oshawa have always stood for the best in public service and it was no J surprise to me when it was an- nounced that they had under- taken such a work for so worthy a cause. The fact that everything pa for the dance and masquerade 15 § being given absolutely free of & charge impressed me very fav- ourably, as it shows that no one is seeking personal gain. It is a project in which the people of Oshawa should feel proud to take part and add to the total that will be turned over to the As- Z sociated Welfare campaign funds." im R. B, SMITH Ld usual. Ontario is the principal pro- ducer, although Alberta growers are contributing some 330,000 Ibs. to the Dominion total. The gen- eral quality of this year's crop is reported to be good. No attempt has been made to es- timate the total of sweet clover seed production, which comes largely from the Prairie Provinces, but cen- tral and southwestern Ontario may show 1,000,000 lbs, while the crop in Eastern Ontario is said to be de- cidedly small. Manitoba production has been normally large while some 400,000 lbs, are expected from Sas- katchewan, and some 575000 Ibs from Alberta, General quality is reported to be good. The general production of Tim- othy sced throughout Canada of 1931 is believed to be slightly ahead of last year, While drought affect- ed production in southern Alberta increases are reported from Prince Edward Island, Quebec and British Columbia. Reports indicated sup- plies of 300,000 Ibs. in P.E. Island; 300,000 Ibs, in Quebec; 250,000 Ibs, in Ontario; 250,000 lbs. in Alberta, and 250,000 Ibs. in British Columbia.
