"If England successfully res German invasion, they will try weaken England by cutting off vi supplies from Canada and United States," he said. "On the other hand, should Gi many succeed in invading Engla! then invasion of Canada will con next, and there would be Fifth Cd umn activities to pave the way fi this." Mr. Hepburn sad he thought t situation with regard to sabota would become serious in the cour of time. He said that all road constructid in Ontario would be stopped at tH end of the present month, "We are keeping out of the mon markets so the Dominion may ha full sway. The Dominion needs tH money for wer purposes." He also said vocational educatid in Ontario was being intensified fit young men for industry in t present emergency. Premier Hepburn and Mr. Cona returned for further discussions the afternoon. Labor Minister Hip of Ontario accompanied them. "Have you smoothed over yo differences with the Dominion go' ernment?" Mr, Hepburn wes askd at the noon adjournment. "There will always be differenc of opinion," he replied. "We w elected to represent the interests ) Ontario, and there are times whe these must come into conflict witli the views of the Federal govern ment," ada, by The Times Publishing Co. of Oshawa, Limited.

Going farther afield, apart from the Americans, most of the world is on rations. Only a certain amount of fats and other es- sentials is permitted, even in Great Britain, while in Europe, the situation is getting worse. Reports of the spectre of famine in countries conquered by Hitler are not to be discounted. In the Far East there is hunger and poverty beyond anything which we can understand, never having had to witness it. With one half of the world hungry and the other half trying to find ways of dis- posing of a crop, the situation is out of balance. If the war succeeds in opening up, once again, the avenues of trade, and making it possible for the peoples of Europe and the East to share in the goods which the world is capable of producing, it may not have been in vain.

What about chronic or old cases Thirty-three (33) PROSTIGMIN--OVARY EXTRACT --HELPS SOME CASES OF HARD OF HEARING Most, physicians dislike recom- mending new remedies or forms of treatment to those who are hard of hearing because they do not wish to raise false hopes in these patients, The hard of hearing patient, be- cause he misses £0 much of what is going on around him, gradually grows moody, keens looking inward instead of outward, and to have his hopes raised only to be dashed down, increases his mental depres- sion. When, however, physicians in dif- ferent parts of the world are hav- ing success with a new method of treatment, there is no reason why this treatment should not at least be tried, even if it helps but small number of cases and results in disappointment in a large num- ber. I have spoken before of the use of prostigmin--an ovary extract-- in cases of hard of hearing due to catarrh, In the majority of cases, the prostigmin gave some help. From the Ear, Eye, Note and Throat Monthly, comes the report WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1940 ---- -- Transport Minister Makes Comparison In Speeds Speaking at a civic luncheon at Hotel London following the opening of the new London City airport last Saturday, the Hon. C. D. Howe said, "today we were able to travel from our point of departura (Ottawa), attend two social functions and The minister of munitions and supply and transport might have made further comparisons of speed with today's modern airships and the early ox cart of the pioneer days, or the more speedy stage coach of the early 70's. But he used the fastest : passenger train, travelling at 60 to 70 miles an hour to illustrate how slow that mode of travel is compared to the T.C.A. planes which may attain a speed of over 200 miles an hour, but travel normally at a speed Fo THIS bas | JULIANA ATTENDS | MUSICIANS LEND HAND | -- | | ~ The Unemployment Insurance -- J.

Canadians are becoming more airminded . with each succeeding month that the T.C.A, is in operation. This is evidenced by the in- creasing number of passengers carried every month. Mr. Howe predicted that "when this war is over we will have a more air-minded population, if that is possible," We quite agree with him. In fact we have learned that many firms and organiza- tions are looking forward to the day when they will have airplanes to speed up their deliveries, transport personnel from point to point and otherwise accelerate their business. The airplane is here to stay, and man, with his inventive genius, will find new uses for this speedy means of trans- port in the coming years. Ontario Cold and Wet--Oregon Hot and Dry If hot weather and cold weather, and wet weather and dry weather could be evenly divided among the various areas of the Americas probably everybody would be quite content with the kind of weather they get. Here in Ontario this June we had a very wet, cold month, and many homes had to use furnaces to drive out the dampness and the chill right up to the first of July. But this kind of weather did not prevail in certain areas in United States. The Portland office of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, under date of July 15 states in its report that: "During the early part of the month, virtually all national forests in Oregon were closed to entry with- out permit, and logging and sawmill opera- tions were forbidden in ten western Oregon counties because of fire hazard. The forestry officials took this action while th: United States weather bureau in Portland was announcing that the month of June was the warmest and dryest ever listed in bureau records of this city." So while Ontario experienced a wet and cold month in June, Oregon experienced one of the warmest and dryest ever listed in bureau records. We Have Much To Be Thankful For At this time of the year, as one looks around the countryside, as the editor of the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle has done in recent tours of Ontario County, there comes home the thought that we in Ontario are amongst the most favored in the world. It has been a wet, up until ten days ago, cool summer for the most part; but that does not seem to have injured the crops to any extent, although some recent storms have caused damage. The meadows are as lush and green as they were a month ago. The hay crop has been exceptionally good, although hard to harvest; the grain crop promises well. In Canada there will be a carry over of 250 million bushels of grain from last year, with an estimated crop for this year of 450 million bushels. There is not enough elevator room in the country is in the limelight again in connection with the Unemployment Insurance Act which is now before parliament. The Act as draftetl provides that work- ers involved in labor disputes would be dis- qualified in receiving benefits under the in- surance scheme, Mrs. Nielsen made a strong plea that this provision be deleted. She wanted workmen on strike to receive unemployment insur-. ance. The height of this absurdity was quickly recognized by members friendly to labor such as Arthur Roebuck, former At- torney-General of Ontario and Angus Mac- Innis, C.C.F, member for Vancouver East. In fact, Mrs. Nielsen received support from only one other member, Clarence Gillis, C.C.F. member for Cape Breton South. It seems to us that the unemployment in- surance measure goes a long way as it is. It places heavy burden upon certain types of industry in which men are steadily em- ployed by requiring them to help support" other types of industry where unemploy- ment is frequent and extensive. This works an injustice on both employers and em- ployees but to add to this the suggestion that employees on strike should be given insurance benefits is a bit too much for any sensible person to swallow. Editorial Notes Just about the time that unemployment will be at a low, along will come the un- employment insurance--and everybody, we hope, will be working. 0 The chain letter craze appears to be on the go again. We have received two in today's mail. This scheme is so silly and has been shot so full of holes by actuarial experts that we wonder it engages the at- tention of otherwise intelligent pople. The best way to stop this is to throw the letters in the waste basket as they are received. We are surprised to note that all Domin- ion Government employees are to be ex- empted from military training in the gov- ernment's scheme for compulsory training. While no doubt many of these employees are engaged in essential war work there are no doubt others who could be released with no greater inconvenience than private in- dustry would be called upon to suffer. A visitor from Texas who stopped over with his party at the Genosha Hotel cer- tainly had the holiday spirit. He insisted on paying his bill in U.S. funds and refused to accept the premium that was due him on the ground that "Everybody in Canada has been so nice to us." The General Manager, Mr. Leach, has turned the funds over to a worthy cause. A Bible Thought for Today WE ACTUALLY HAVE A MISSION IN LIFE: Then su Jesus to them again, Peace he unto you: as my.

At figst he said she had gone to visit friends, had been taken ill and died there; to others he said that che had eloped to America with a form- er lover, and he was believed until one of the women neighbors notic- ed that the doctor's typist, Ethel LeNeve, was wearing some of the missing - woman's jewelry.
