PAGE TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY \/ ICELANDIC STUDENT, SAYS CANADIAN "INVADERS" ARE ACCEPTED AS FRIENDS "At first the Icelanders resented the coming of the Canadians, the {first foreign soldiers ever to occupy our country, but now, I think the people want the force to be as strong as possible so that there will be less danger that the country will be attacked." So said Ingolfur Adalbjarnarson, 19-year-old scholarship student from Iceland, who intends taking the f:ur-year Commerce and Fi- nance course at the University of Toronto, in an interview today. He hopes to be a chartered accountant some day. He arrived on board an Icelandic steamer in New York October 19 with three other Icelandic boys. The four have been selected this year by the Icelandic Government, because of general proficiency in their studies at high school, to re- ceive travelling scholarships abroad. Usually the scholarship recipients go to Europe as living conditions there are cheaper, but this year they came to America. Ingolfur came to the University of Torento because he had heard that the standard of education received here was very high. He is registered in the University College first year and is living at 126 Walmer Road. A companion, Bragi Freumodsson, is registered at the University of Manitoba and the two others are in the Uaited States. The Canadian and British sol- diers, who began to arrive last May in Iceland, are getting along well with the Icelanders, reports Ingol- fur, who speaks frcm personal ex- perience, largely because they go out of their way to show their friendliness. Many of the Cana- diens are now lodged in Icelandic homes and receive other forms of Icelandic hospitality, Some of the troops occupying Iceland are Nor- wegians, he said, and so related to the Icelanders by blood. The plateaus of Iceland, said In- golfur, because they are flat and have a hard surface make excellent landing fizlds for airplanes. But they have been spoiled intentionally | by the British for the time being for fairly obvious reasons, for it is gecognized that Iceland is a pos- sible jumping-off point for an at- | | swimming, which is made possible | tack on North America. Could Use There are only two airplanes in the country--at Reykjavik, the cap- tal. A plateau near by has been im-= | proved to serve as a landing field for them. The country, however, is | mountainous in general, This young Icelander's home is at Hafnarfjoerdur, a village Reykjavik. His father is Adalbjoern Bjarnason, a bookbinder. A son's jast name is formed in Icelandic language by taking the given name of the father and adding "son" with some other minor changes. Inci- dentally, the "d" in the word Adalb- is not a "d" in Icelandic, but & "thorn," a character which has mo counterpart in modern English, but has in Anglo-Saxon. Can Read "Sagas" The Icelandic language has re- mained essentially the same since the country was first settled by the | vikings in 874. Consequently In- golfur, who speaks modern Icelan- dic, can read with ease the early Icelandic "Sagas", famous through- out the world. Icelandic remained practically un- | changed because of the isolation of the country and also because the "Sagas," written at an early period, served as a model and influenced the language of the people through- out the years. In Iceland there are | no dialects because of the national literature created long before any such thing was known in other parts of Northern Eurcpe. Because Jong ago Icelandic was the common tongue of all northern people, it | might be called the mother tongue of the Scandinavian languages and many words in the English language are derived from this same source. | a There is no illiteracy in Iceland, says Ingolfur, bzcause the favorite | pastime of all Icelanders is reading. For instance, there are four daily | newspapers in Reykjavik, which has a population of only 38,000. Ir~olfur gave as his authority, Lord Bryce, sadcr to Wachingten who, bec, "Mazdern Dz2mosracies," ed that thers ars msre books, news parzsys ond manczines to ti» ponulation than in any other countrv in th» world, P~r2 Ca Unive Th2 University of Ireland is co- | "or21 2nd i3 at Reykjavik, from ~*'~h Traollnr's brother gra- dvetsd, Estab'ishad in 1911, the university's very modern bulldings and residences were completed. last spring to accommodate the 300 students. It gives specialized in- struction in theology, law, medicine, classics and engineering. A liberal arts education is ob- tained at the high schools, or Menrtaskolir. One of these is at Reykjavik and the other is in Northern Iceland. Nineteen chil- dren's schools or Barnskolir prepare for these Mentaskolir. There are also a specialized school for train- ing teachers and two agricultural colleges. Ingolfur would like to correct the popular misconception in Canada that there are Eskimos in Iceland. When the Vikings first arrived in the 10th century, the country was uninhabited save for a few recluse Irish monks. Immigrants came in from Norway and Ireland. Today 15 to 20 per cent. of the population is of Celtic ancestry, which largely explains, Ingolfur thinks, the Ice- landic love of and skill in literature. Ingolfur was quite surprised at the amount of snow and the cold here. He was quite unprepared and was ready to set out for a walk with no gloves and only a light raincoat on. The climate of Ice- lend, because of the warm Gulf near | once British ambas- | in his | stat- | circulatea | and read in Iceland in proportion | Stream, is not particularly warm in summer and not very cold in | winter. The mean temperature in | January in Reykjavik is about 30 | degrees Fahrenheit. The mean | summer temperature is 52 degrees. The mean temperature for the whole year is 39 degrees. Snows Rarely In Reykjavik snow rarely falls and on the lowlands snow rarely lies for long; on the mountains, and in the north, which is sparsely populated, however, it lies deep, maki ideal ter sports. Very few people skate in land, for natural ice is compara- tively rare. Skiing is a recent in- novation and is only for sport. Ice= landers play association tennis and golf, and handball, bad- minton and squash indoors. Moun- tain climbing is a favorite recrea- | tion in the summer. The national sport, he says, is by the hot water springs all over Iceland, except in the east. A re- cently built indoor swimming pool in Reykjavik, Ingoliu thinks, about the ultimate in swimming | pool in the world as good. It is planned that in two years the city of Reykjavik will be com- | pletely heated throughout the year by means of these hot water | springs. The volcanoes which have heated the waters are not entirely | extinct but are -usually dormant. | The last eruption was fn 1918, and nobody was injured. Ingolfur is proud of his country, | which is the oldest democracy in | the world. In the summer of 830 | the people established a code of }iews, This legislative assembly, the in | Althing, the oldest parliament | the world, used to gather summer at a place called Thing- No Army ' Iceland has no army, no militia, | no navy.

The Christian faith was estab- lished by law in 'the year 1000, which was the same year that Lei- fur, called the Lucky, discovered land. In commemoration of the event | the Congress of the US.A, present- {ed Iceland with an impressive statue of Leifur the Lucky at the 1,000th anniversary of the Icelan- dic Parliament in 1930. Canada gave Iceland a sum of money, the income from which provides schol- rships for Icelanders for post gra- duate work in Canadian univer- sities. The ccuntry has an area of 40,- 000 square miles which + is one- tenth the size of Ontario, and a population of 120,000. Fishing, sheep ranching and ag- riculture, particularly the raising of vegetables, are the chief industries, Ingolfur said. There are few trees | because of the climate, but refor- estation is now being carried out. Icelanders are comparatively rare ir Ontario, but there are colonies of them in the West2rn Provinces. | Mc:, of them came to Canada in the "70's, a period of hard times and volcanic eruptions in Iceland.

VANCOUVER . . . $70.25 $1.55 $8.65 1, Stewart Says-- Don't Think That John L. Lewis Has Gone Into Oblivion By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Canadian Columnist Washington.--John L. Lewis' pres- ent objective is well known to be the creation of a third political party of national proportions. He suggested the idea some time before the last U.S, presidential election, but didn't get around to an attempt to realize them, Probably he hit on the notion too late--hadn't a suf- ficient interval to get an organiza- tion going before Nov. 5. Now he has four years ahead of him, within which to develop his plan. When John promised to quit as C.I.O, head, if Franklin D. Roose- velt were re-elected, some of his pretty faithful followers figured that he'd climbed overly far out on a limb. Today's indications are that he'd calculated very thoughtfully. If Wendell Willkie had won, his limb would have been all right. If it cracked under him, he'd be in a position to land in his third party hanging basket. It isn't altogether certain that he isn't glad it did the scheme he had in mind all along. Presumably Lewis' policy will be to build his prospective new party around the framework of Labor's Non-Partisan league. His surrender of his CIO. nominal leadership didn't amount to much. It didn't pay any salary. And Philip Murray who succeeds him is supposed to be only his ruber stamvo. Phil to be sure didn't adhere to John as to the latter's anti-Roosevelt attitude, and maybe he'll balk on staying by John's anti-Rooseveltianism hence- forward. Still it's to be remembered that Phil's a sub-official of the United Mine Workers, of which John continues as president at $25,- 000 annually. He's Formidable conditions for win- | Ice- | football, | is | pools, and he. knows of no other | every | America, having sailed from Ice- | John L. Lewis, be it understood, is a formidable character. About five years ago, when John was initiating his split-off from the | AF. of L, I had a lot of sympathy | with him, Tne AF. of L. js a federation of | craft unions. In my particular busi- | ness the Typographical Unjon was | one of them. I was on the editorial | end of the newspaper business. I t..ought that my hunch ought to be unionized, too. Heaven knows, I was aware that my crew needed to be organized also. But the Tpyo- | graphical Union or the stereotypers or any of the rest of the mechani- cal outfits didn't care a hoot for us. Their dope was that they were crafts--to heck with us! John Lewis started off, though, | on the theory that everybody in an | industry belongs to it. For instance, he worker, Now, mine workers? They're dig- gers in mines. They likewise are | electricians: in mines. They're ex- was plosive experts. They're blacksmiths. | They're everybody connected with | the mining industry. John wanted | 'em amalgamated. | He called an industry a total in- | dustry--not a group of separate | craft industries. Total Unionization The merger becomes more and | more necessary, says John L. Lewis, | as we condense intc mass industry, like the automobiie business. What | John wants is total, not merely | group unionization. | That's where the CIO. and the | AF. of L. differ. Furthermore, the AF. of L. still wants to keep clear of partisan pol- itics. It's pick candidates, individu- | ally, but not partisanly. The C.I.Q. proposes to have can- didates of its own--under a new party label, I mean, under John L. Lewis' la- bel. It's a mistake to think that. be- cause John L. has done some re- signing, he's retiring from his place in the limelight. | | | CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUBJECT. "Ancient and Modern Necroman- cy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced," was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon for First Church of | Christ, Scientist, 64 Colborne St. East on Sunday. The Golden Text was, "Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else." (Isalah 45:22). Selections from the Bible includ- ed the following from III John 1:11, "Beloved, follow not that which Is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God." Correlative citations from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, included the following from page 104: "Christian Science goes to the bottom of mental action, and reveals the theodicy which indicates the right- ness of all divine action, as the emanation of divine Mind, and the consequent wrongness of the op- posite so-called action--evil, occult- ism, necromancy, mesmerism, ani- mal magnetism, hypnotism." ROOT AND FODDER CROPS The 1940 potato, root, and fodder crops of Canada, with the exception of fcdder corn, show increases in comparison with 1939, according to the second official estimate, The 1940 estimate, with the figures for 1039 within brackets, are as follows: Potatoes, 42,058,000 cwt. (36,390,000 cwt,); turnips, etc, 39,153,000 cwt.

It is a coinci- | dence that this report which will shortly be published should have been completed at a time when the | government and members of parlia- | ment are groping for a solution to the elementary problem of finding storagas space for the glut of west- ern wheat. Chemurgy--the wedding of ence and farm products-- has al- | ready established that things here- tofore regarded as useful for food | alone can now pe transformed into many articles common in every-day life. One bushel of wheat will pro- duce two gallons of motor fuel of a higher octane rating than much of the gasol made from petro- leum and beneficent quirk | of science that it should permit the | lower grades of grain to produce more motor alcohol than No, 1 Northern hard. | Motor fuel can also be extracted | from potatces and a new textile known as 'lanital" can be made from a combination of wool and swim milk. These achievements of patient research in the laboratories suggest {it 1s to scientists rather than legis. lators that Canadian agricultarists must look for relief from surpluses and low prices. Enormcus Surplus The government has no solution for the wheat surplus and assum- | ing that there is a normal crop in [ 1941 the problem then will be a ne is a | greater one than it is now. Wheat | | experts estimate that {f next year's crop corresponds in size to that of | last summer Canada may find her- | self holding a billion bushels of | wheat twelve months hence, with | a prospective domestic and British | market for about 250,000,000 bush- | els. It is therefore no wonder that the wheat producers are now look- ing about for some use of their product other than food. The Northwest: Line Elevators Associa- tion have been studying the ques- | tion and their representative, Cecil Lamont, has recently been in Otta- wa discussing with MP's the pos- sibility of the manufacture of mo- tor fuel from the wheat surplus. Mr. Lamont states that it is now scientifically possible to produce motor spirit from wheat. The prob- lem is one of financing for prod- uction in commercial quantities. He says it Is not economically sei- | J feasible to use dollar wheat, but believes motor fuel can be made for | commercial use from 50-cent wheat, | and this is about the price which farmers now receives for their grain. It is his contention that so long as Canada has a half-billion bushel surplus overhanging the | market, the price of wheat cannot | go above present level Conse- | quently, he argues tat the manu- facture of motor alcohol from wheat would help in removing the sur- plus and assist the farmer even- | his product. Problem Is Finance The problem in the production of motor fuel from wheat is one of capital finance, through the operation of the Wheat Board now owns the grain. If any- thing is to be done, it will probably | government-owned that a fac- to be in i= estimated have | plants. It | tory handing 5,000 bushels a day | | and producing 10,000 gallons of motor alcohol wouldgcost $500,000. | On this basic, a cap transform 100,000,000 bushels into | motor fuel. The wheat surplus is I now so large 'that it .can only be blocks of hundreds of millions of bushels. What of the use of motor alco- hol?? Mr. Lamont's investigation at a Kansas plant where 10,000 gallons are produced dally lead him to be- lieya that a 10 per cent blend of motor alcohol with gasoline can be { effected without increasing the | price of gasoline above the present level for top quality. Higher Octane is stated that the addition of It motor alcohol to ordinary gasoline | gives an octane rating equal to that obtained through the addition of tetraethyl. As Canada now imports approxi- mately 800 million gallons of petrol- eum products worth $60,000,000 an- nually, a 10 per cent. blend would require 80,000,000 gallons of motor alcohol necessitating the use of 40,~ 000.000 bushels of wheat. use of straight motor alcohol as he recognizes that even with 50-cent wheat the price would pe several cents higher than that of gasoline today. But in representations which he has made to some of the MP.'s he urges the production of motor alcohol from wheat for blending as a partial solution to the problem of the surplus and also as a means of conserving exchange which now leaves the country to pay for for- eign petroleum. MUST QUADRUPLE BUYING OF WAR SAVINGS BONDS Ottawa, Dec. 3 & Purchase of $10,000,000 war savings certificates monthly is the objective of the new campaign by the Minister of Ii- nance. To attain this total the pre- sent rate of buying will have to be quadrupled. If Canadians go over the top in the manner hoped for by Finance Minister Ilsley, $120, 000,000 will be loaned to the nation in return for the certificates in the 12 months. The committee in charge has al- lotted monthly objectives to all the provinces as follows: Ontario, $4, - 400,000; Quebec, $2,400,000; British Columbia, $1,000,000; Alberta, $600,~ 000; Manitoba, $520,000; Saskatche- wan, $350,000, Nova Scotia, $450, 000; New Brunswick, $250,000; and P.E.I, $30,000. At the present time subscriptions for the certificates have been com- ing in at the rate of $2500,000 monthly. Local organization in charge of the sales of the certificates are be- ing improved and with the aid of publicity and the co-operation of employers, Canadian citizens are to be asked to step up their contri- butions to this fund which is sup- plementary to the war loans which regular deductions by employers from the salaries and wages of their employes for the purchase of the savings certificates; monthly pur- chases by bank depositors and the sale of savings stamps by school children, CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS A recent poster isued by the In- dustrial Accident Prevention Asso- ciations, listing the causes of acci- dents to workers, revealed that out of the 52,272 accidents reported in a year to the Ontario Workmen's are launched from time to time. Amongst the methods which have been adopted to boost the sales are Compensation Board, three general headings had more than 5,000 acci- dents each.

Nowhere has this new-found re- lationship and splendid fortitude been so apparent as in bomb-batter- ed London. Nazi bombs are no re- specters of persons or property and whole streets of dwellings, the lowly tenements of the east end to the stately mansions of May- fair, have been reduced to rubble and charred timbers, Historic buildings and monuments have tablishments and residential apart- ments levelled while there is hard- ly a road without its gaping crater. The people are facing the ordeal bravely and like one big family are ently needed and sharing whateyer they. have with the less fortunate The motives of Hitler's blitzkrieg have, of course, become patent long ago.

As the result of fractured mains certain areas have been de- prived of light, gas and water for a spell. Emergency repair crews, how- ever, have performed prodigious deeds in keeping pace with destruc- | tien.

The civilian populace has already given ample proof that its morale will not be easily shattered, Close Offices Earlier The homeward trek from office and factory js much earlier now as the days get shorter. Many con- cerns are releasing their employees as early as 4 o'clock in the after- noon, thus enabling "millions to reach home before the raiders ar- rive, invariably just as dusk is fall- ing. . Many of the larger {firms have also adopted a system of private conveyance for their workers. They operate a fleet of buses which pick up employees at prescribed points in the morning and take them back at night. The transportation prob- lem in London has been further relieved by the use of passenger buses from other centres. Once darkness envelops the city the night. siege is sure to begin, ir- respective of whether it is clear, foggy or raining. For those who work at night there can be no pro- tracted interruption of operations. As during daylight hours, spotters take up their positions on roofs of buildings and signal to the staff Lelow whenever a raider is about to approach directly overhead. Some take temporary shelter but most night workers stay right on the job until bombs start falling in their immediate area.
