BY THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1940 Banning New Models Is Sensible There can be little disagreement in the decree from Ottawa that no new models of automobiles, refrigerators, radios and other machine products are to be manu- factured in Canada for the present without special license. There is sound sense in the intended order-in-council which will also prohibit the importation of new models into Canada during the period the ban is on the manufacture of the same articles. These steps taken by a war-time govern- ment is in keeping with the needs of the hour, and while the order will have little effect on Canadian plants at present, mostly all of which are now working on war orders, public opinion is so sympathetic 'that manufacturers will find little trouble in finding a market for their products in the lines mentioned. The whole purpose, of course, is to re- strict to war industries the available re- sources in tool-making machinery. Author- ative sources also say that another prohibi- tive order which will ban the export of machine tools manufactured in the Domin- nion, is expected. It would appear that the men behind the moves are attempting to stop every leak hole and speed up war production. And this is as it should be. Because new models are banned it does not mean that anyone wanting a new car, B new radio or a refrigerator cannot secure one. But there will not be the same urge to replace last year's model with a brand new product. Canadians can, and will, most cheerfully get along for the duration of the war with models they are now using much better than the war effort can get along without an adequate supply of tools. Then, too, a stiff increase in taxes may be expected, and more money to prosecute the war will be needed, the winning of which means the continuance of the democracy we have enjoyed and still want. Sacrifices will be necessary, and we can best do without some of the frills, luxuries, and glittering new models each year if we are to purchase the freedom we profess to admire. If the manufacturers are busy on new models of guns, tanks, mechanized units and essential war materia s, they can best concentrate on these and we will all be happier when we swing back to peace time activities. A Strong Appeal Jack Miner's bird sanctuary at Kingsville is facing a financial crisis. The annual government grant has been reduced from $4,000 to $2,500 and this is the comment of the noted conservationist: "We must win the war, but while the nine Provinces vote hundreds of thousands of dollars for game warden salaries, and the Federal government votes tens of thousands for game law administrators, I feel free to ask for aid when I am raising fully $5 to put with every $1 of the govern- ment. Besides this, I give my time and the use of four hundred acres of land worth $100 per acre. My place is left open to the public every day except Sunday, from October 1st to May 1st. and tens of thous- ands of tourists from all over the United States enter Canada solely to visit this place. So while hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent by our government to attract tourists to this Dominion, there certainly should be no complaint about any aid given this place, especially when Canada wants the United States tourists to come over here with their money." Jack Miner spends $15,000 a year to maintain his sanctuary, so even the old government grant of $4,000 was not com- paratively big, with the total outlay. The government has $35,000,000 invested in national parks and preserves, and yet those 400 acres of Kingsville, the Miner property, are probably more famous and attractive than any public-owned domain in the Do- minion. The value of the Jack Miner en- terprise is highly appraised by all United States conservationists. It is too bad that the economy axe had to be used, but the heavy tax burden is the only answer. Christmas Armistice Rejected The member of the British Parliament who proposed an armistice for the Christ- mas season surely must have forgotten that Christmas does not mean a thing to Hitler and the Nazis. In fact did Hitler not start his campaign by abolishing from the Nazi creed all forms of recognition of the "Jew- ish" Prince of Peace? An armistice at this season of the year would mean an oppor- tunity for Hitler and his axis partners to take advantage of British trust. And this is most undesirable. While a Christmas of peace and good will would be most welcome, yet when it is felt that an armistice would only be a breathing spell for the enemy and would result in a longer period of fighting, the re- jection of the suggestion by the British Prime Minister is the only sane answer. Britain has been deceived and lied to by Hitler enough as it is and to put any fur- ther trust in his word or signature is unthinkable. Peace for the Christmas season--for a day, or week, is. not that for which the British Empire fights. Better for Canadian Listeners At midnight next March 29-30 by order of the Federal Radio Commission, over 850 broadcasting stations in the United States will have to change their wave-lengths. This drastic order involves only minor engineering operations and minor financial cost to the stations, but owners of the new push-button tuner sets will be put to some inconvénience. The number of clear chan- nels in the United States will be increased from 44 to 59, making room for more high- powered stations. The result will be beneficial to listeners in Canada as well as the United States. It will do away with a lot of interference from which Canadian stations have suffered long and patiently. Reforms much sought are at last to materialize. | Editorial Notes The motorist who gets "charged" before the crash usually gets charged afterwards. - More French soldiers and sailors are join- ing General de Gaulle's forces. The tide is slowly but surely turning. We shouldn't let down the spirit of Christmas just because a war is on. That would be a denial of a Christian faith. Key man of the year--the workman at a large plant in Pennsylvania who was re- sponsible for a lockout of 7,500 employees. Ottawa decrees no new models for the motor industry, which causes the Toronto Telegram to remark, "and the people de- mand no new muddles from the govern- ment." Today 1,500 men can throw as much metal on the target as 20,000 men could in 1914 Tella Berna, of the National Machine Tool Builders' Association. And of course you need a lot more targets. In his cruel bombing and machine-gun- ning of areas in England, Hitler has not terrorized the people but only deepened their grim resolve to stand fast and do all that lies in their power to help overthrow his tyranny. | A Bit of Verse CANADA'S ANSWER Listen to the wheels a-whirring And the hammer's ceaseless ring, As we work and bulld for victory, Build for Canada and the King. Listen as the planes go soaring, Dimming light of midaay sun, Like a cloud of retribution Blotting out the brutal Hun See the tanks in numbers growing, Shells in one unceasing stream From our mills and factories pouring, Put a crimp in Hitler's dream. Still our great ships, deeply laden, Plough across the trackless sea, Fearless'of the lurking U-boat For the Navy keeps it free. Hark the tread of marching yeoman, Trusting in their God above, Marching to defend our freedom, And the Canada we love. They had said we would not rally To old Mother England's call, But the tie that binds is steadfast, By her side we stand or fall, So the wheels for war go whirring, Women knit from shore to shore, "Til at last we win the Victory, And the Hun exists no more, By T.

Rothermere visited the United States last June on a special mis- sion for his fellow newspaper pub- lisher, Lord Beaverbrock, Minister of Aircraft Supply. He proceeded to Canada in July but his health began to fai] and after treatment he went to Ber- muda to recuperate. There, it was reported, he suffered a relapse, A frequent visitor to Canada, Lord Rothermere was a strong sup- porter of cleser Empire ties. He had large pulp and paper inter- ests in Newfoundland and business connections in Canada. Lord Rothermere, born Harola Sidney Harmsworth, April 26, 1868, | was the "mystery man" of Fleet street. His tremendous press hold- | ings and the secrecy with which his | affairs was shrouded gave rise to | wild rumors and vague legends con- cerning his activities, He was the son of a barrister and was the younger brother of the famed Lord Northcliffe. Many = | ideas, it | studied the scheme and | the credited Rothermere with making "brake on Northcliffe's wheel" and it was said that when North- cliffe had one of his many brilliant was Rothermere who frem a mirage turned it into a success.

And, as a matter of fact, it often would be true that gland changes which usually extend over a number of years, are causing the symptom or symptoms. It is because the duoctless glands are body regulators, that any change in them affects more than one part or process of the body. Thus the gradual wasting away of the ovaries causes symptoms that may be classified in three groups according to Dr. R. Kessel in West Virginia Medical Journal. There are the cases (a) in which the nervous | system and circulation of the blood | system are affected causing hot flushes, excessive perspiration, and palpitation of the heart; (b) those due to nervous exhaustion causing laziness or exhaustion and sensa- | | dilemma, if a demand for wage in- tions of discomfort in various parts of the body, (¢) changes in the character and disposition such as mental depression, emotional dis- turbances and tendency to weep. As we think of the above symp- toms it readily can be seen that ex- cessive perspiration, fast beating heart, tiredness and exhaustion, emotional disturbances and crying spells can occur in women at any age; can, in fact, occur in men. For this reason Dr. Kessel points out that the only symptom that can be definitely sald due to the meno- pause is the hot flashes or flushes. While the majority of women (60 to 75 per cent) have some symp- toms during the menopause, it is thought that only about 15 per cent need any treatment. And this treat- ment may require just some reas- surance from the family physician that there is nothing to worry about. Other cases may need only small doses of quieting drugs. When the symptoms are severe, which in former times often meant confinement in a mental institution, the use of extract of ovary as pre- scribed by the family physician controls the symptoms in the ma- jority of cases. Sometimes the treat- ment is by injections and in other cases the extract of ovary is taken by mouth. Canadian War Effort Lauded By Greenwood London, Nov. 27 (CP)--Arthur Greenwood, minister without port- folio in the war cabinet, told the House of Commons today Canada's help in this war will far outweigh anything she did in the last war "because we have taken the bold step of trying to convert her into an industrial country." He declared the flow of supplies from Canada is "valuable in quality and quantity and will continue to increase." The minister saiq "qt is folly to deny" German air raids have. damaged British production, but asserted "Britain's resources and capacity and growing help of North America will outmatch the indust- rial resources and capacity of the enemy. "» FORECAST WAGE WORRIES IN STEEL PLANTS IN 1941 Companies Prepare for Possible Increase in Costs New York, Nov. 28 (AP)--Iron Age sald today the wage question will probably add to problems con- fronting the steel industry as it en- ters 1941, "Behind the scenes," said the steel megazine in a weekly survey,' are quiet activities which may result in a demand by the Steel Workers Or- ganizing Committee for higher wages and the check-off as well. "The question of steel prices is bound up with that of wages. Steel company managements have stated publicly there i§ no occasion price advances so long as costs do not. rise unduly. "With Washington exerting con- stant pressure against higher prices for essential commodities, the steel companies will find thémselves in a creases should come after prices have been announced for the first quarter at a probable unchanged level. "With this situation in mind, steel companies are inserting 'escalator' clauses more frequently in steel con- | tracts as a protection against pos- sible rising costs next year. Turning to the industrial side of the picture, the survey added: "Since the National Defence Ad- visory Commission exerted efforts some weeks ago to forestall a run- away scrap market, there has been a creeping upward movement of prices which is giving steel compan- ies some concern." The Iron Age scrap price composite advanced this week eight cents to $21 a ton. Orders, meanwhile, said the mag- azine, continued at an unprecedent- ed higher volume, in many instances still exceeding production and ship- ments. "Considering the probability that a good deal of inventory building has been going on among those who might be adversely affected by gov- ernment priorities on steel," the sur. vey said, "it is believed likely that present capacity will be ample for all essential purposes, including the 500,000 tons or so a month that Brit- ain may require . . . alloy steel is one of the scarcest items, deliveries now quoted ranging from 20 to 24 weeks in some instances. "With automobile production still very high, that industry is using a large amount of steel, while orders for the railroads and for construc. tion are increasing." - Steel operations, hampered by re. pair shutdowns, remained at 97 per cent of capacity despite shutdowns in some districts. HALF SHOT? Hazelton, Pa., Nov, 28 (AP).--An- drew Kupinewicz felt something strike his head while working in the yard three months ago, ana told friends his young daughter playfully had tossed a rock. Re- current severe headaches and in- somnia finally forced him to the doctor. A small calibre rifle bul- let 'was removed from his scalp. | oN THIS DATE --- By -- FRED WILLIAMS If Samuel de Champlain is con- sidered the Oreator of Canada, as 50 many people contend, Louis de Baude, for | the great Comte de Fron- tenac, who soon followed him, may be well styled the second Father of Canada. Champldin's foundation of paper world, that was the last place to look for Rothermere. Much of each year he spent abroad. There were men who worked 'on his big- gest papers who never saw him -- wouldn't recognize him if they did. Liked Riviera He kept a marvelous country es- tate on the border of Kent and Bussex, with 70 bedrooms and 26 baths. He had a palatial villa at where he spent much time. He was recognized as an astute orzanizer and business man, not a successful politician. He was director-general of the army cloth- ing department in rather against his will, left that post to become Air Minister during 1917- Quebec and his journeyings through what is now Ontario and the Great Lakes region, mark him more as an explorer than a soldier, though, of course, he had his share of fighting. But Frontenac, who died at Quebec, November 26, 1608, was more of a soldier than an explorer. He fought | the Indians andthe British with | vigor, but at times was at odds | with Bishop Laval and the Jesuits, | who secured his recall in 1662, After seven years of mis-govern- ment by his successors Frontenac was sent back "to finish his work." He was an expansionist, founded Forts Frontenac (Kingston) and Niagara, and otherwise laid the bases of that chain of French in- fluence which was not destroyed for nearly a century. Parkman, the American historian of the French period, had a high opinion of Frontenac: "Versed in books, polished in courts and salons, without fear, incapable of repose, ken and broad of sight, clear in judgment, prompt in decision, fruit ful in resources, unshaken when others despaired, a sure breeder of storms in time of peace, but in time of calamity and danger a tower of strength, it was he who saved the colony and led it triumphant from an abyss of ruin." Apart from his military record, Frontenac is noteworthy because he was the first to try to give the set- tlers some voice in the administra- tion of the colony. It was on Oct. 23, 1672, that there asembled in the Jesuit chapel at Quebec the "three estates of Canada," summoned by Frontenac"s proclamation. The noblts, clergy and merchants were there to a number of nearly a thousand, as optimistic Frontenac had surmised. He first made a counterpart of a speech from the throne and then exacted the oath Estates, who pledged themselves to service for the state, Frontenac sent'to France an en- thusiastic report upon his departure, but in return received a chilling re- sponse from autocratic Louis in the form of a dispatch from Colbert: "Since our kings, for a long time past have thought it inadvisable to summon the states-general in France, you should seldom, or, to he more precise, never asemble the peo- ple of Canada together in that way!" Frontenac's atempt at a parlia- ment was replaced by a sovereign council. Right up to the time of the conquest Canada had no semblance Easy Way to Relieve RHEUMATIC Aches and Pains Here is a simple, easy way to get relief from the agony of swollen, rheumatic - joints and muscular aches and pains.

As a Cabinet Minister he was a comparative failure. In 1928 Rethermere obtained con- trol of a vast newspaper combine far surpassing anything his late brother accomplished, claiming a circulation among 80 per 'cent. of British readers. The famed Daily Mail was the biggest of the group of Rothermere papers and the key- stone of the combine which blan- keted not only London, but the larger provincial cities of Britain. Enjoyed Golf and Tennis Rothermere was of massive phy- sique, with a large head, thick neck and blue eyes. His habits were mod- erate and his life well-ordered. He enjoyed golf, tennis and motoring. At the time of Northcliffe's death Rothermere was far the richer of the two and this fortune during the years grew larger and larger until it was doubtful if Rothermere hime self knew his worth. His charities were many, but he said nothing about them. He endowed the King | Edward VII. chair of English liter- Cap Martin, on the French Riviera, | * but | | 1916-17, and, | | | ature and the Vere Harmsworth chair of naval history at Cambridge and the Harold Vyvyan chair of | American history at Oxferd. Two Sons Died In War . He married Mary Lilian Share in 1893 and they had three sons. The war brought them tragedy. The eldest son, Captain Harold A. V. Harmsworth, of the Irish Guards, died in February, 1918, of wounds received at Cambrai. The second son, Lieutenant Vere Harmsworth, of the Royal Navy, was killed by a shell in 1916. Esmend, the youngest, survived service in the Royal Mar- ine Artillery to become his fathers aide and a member of Parliament, Rothermere wrote little for his papers, but when he did it carried all the more attention for this rea- son. Nor did he pay much attention to his seat in the House cof Lords, despite the challenge of his critics to go to Westminster to air his views rather than to use the col- umns of his' many newspapers. 334% On Guaranteed Trust Certificates A legal investment for Trust Funds Unconditionally Guaranteed THE STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION STERLING TOWER TORONTO onl All the world of radio . and domestic reception . . convenient payment plan! today. 92 Simcoe St. North afford to ignore. % Designed, conceived and created as the superb resources and master craftsmanship of RCA Victor could make possible, here is a magnificent instrument for the discriminating mu- sic lover who has an eye for beauty and an ear for faultless record repro- duction and finest radio puteiianes . short wave lus the music you love on RCA Victor Records will be yours with a new thrill of appreciation.
