MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1940 "On The Path Of Victory" Perhaps no broadcast was more eagerly awaited and listened to on Christmas Day than that of His Majesty King George. Us- ing simple, direct and encouraging words, his messages carried a quiet note of con- fidence while at the same time not mini- mizing the dangers which face the Empire. The future will be hard but our feet are planted on the path of victory," His Majes- ty -said, which just about reflects the spirit of his people and those who assist the Em- "With the helpof God we shall make our way to justice and to peace," is the prayer and wish of every Canadian. It may be that before another year passes the evil forces against which free peoples are fighting will be in full retreat. The paramount require- ments is for Canada and every part of the Empire to carry out to the full their obli- gations in the war effort. Canada is not yet fully conscious of her responsibility in this regard. But as more industries take pn war work, more airfields spring into activity, more shipbuilding is done and greater demands for finances are made from the people, a full realization of the King's words, "the future will be hard but our feet are planted on the path of vic- dory," will reach deep into our understand- Ing. For A New Social Order Five standards they consider essential to # lasting peace and published recently in The London Times, comes from the Arch- bishops of Canterbury, and York and the Roman Catholic Archbishops of West- minster. The much-discussed standards are as follows: 1. Abolition of the extreme inequality of wealth and possessions. -2. Equal opportunities of education for svery child. 8. The family as the social unit should , be safeguarded. : 4. A sense of divine vocation must be yestored to man's daily work. : B. The earth's resources must be used as God's gift to the whole human race. These recommendations have been dis- sussed and have been in the public thought {| of Canada for some time and are $0 | familiar as to excite little new interest this | side' of the Atlantic. Numbers two and three have already had some approach jin § Canada through legislation. Number four would appear to be the responsibility} of | %he church. | Number one, "abolishing the extreme in- | equality of wealth and possession" an | Utopian dream and will remain justi that unless a practical technique can be made | operative. Perhaps the Archbishops hve a | magic formula. Number five is perhaps the ideal and if applied would turn the earth into the place | that the Divine Creator intended, but man | #hrough his selfishness has turned into the | very state in which we find the world to- day--the thunder of cannon on land and sea and the crash of bombs as they hurtle from the sky to land on homes, hospitals and defenceless women and children, 4 The earth's resources are now But HOW? mel ¥ ideas and ideals embodied in'the five * standards all point to a new social and divine order. What the world néeds is lead- ers to put them into operation. Lights On Vehicles Compulsory 'and elsewhere involving fd horse-drawn vehicles after dark should we as sufficient warning to drivers of § ighs, cutters, buggies and wagons tha they must carry lights on their vehicl@s after sundown. Those wii have gone through the ex- perience 0 ping into unlighted ve- hicles or missing them in. the | dark will apislate the value of a light at the rear of fa ehicles. ; : The law is vagudefinite regarding this Accidents he motor cars a v particular statute and though our rural highways cannot be patrolled at all hours of the night, it might prove salutary if the provincial police could make occasional for- ays outside of the city and nab a few of the offenders. The news of such arrests might influence others to obey what is~a very sensible law and one which involves no dif- ficulty in complying with its terms. If neg- ligent drivers feel that they may be the next ones on the carpet, they may think it is less trouble to carry the necessary lights. Greater Traffic Control Attorney-General Conant's plan to place a traffic constable every mile on the heav- ily travelled highways in Ontario on New Year's Day is to be commended and should bear fruit in the lesser number of accidents and fatalities. The province experienced one of the most tragic Christmas Days in its history: by the death of nine persons and many injured through accidents on provincial highways. We do not want a repetition of that toll on New Year's Day. It remains to be seen if the extra effort which the authorities are putting forth to control the holiday traffic will bring the desired results. If it is proven that extrz traffic officers on duty has lessened traffic accidents, then the argument can be ad- vanced that greater control should be maintained throughout the year. It is sincerely hoped that the additional officers on duty on New Year's Day will accomplish all that is expected of them. If the experiment is as successful as the authorities hope it will be then the addi- tional cost will be justified and consider- ation should be given to a year-round in- crease in traffic control on the main high- ways. In Quest of Oil? The rumbling of trains through Hungary carrying German troops to Rumania is arousing speculation. Germany already has about 100,000 men in Rumania and if they are to have an addition of another 300,000, as reported, some importance should be attached to the movement. One suggestion for the movement of Nazi troops to Rumania is a prelude to ac- tion against Soviet Russia, or at least to protect the territory from Russian in- vasion. Another guess is that the Germans are moving in to make sure that Rumania fur- nishes up to the limit of its capacity, pro- ducts needed, for the Nazi war machine. This may. be only part of the answer. Both Germany and Italy are desperately in need of oil. Where else can they secure it? In the Middle East. The present movement of troops- to Rumania may be the forerunner of a major campaign in which the Nazis hope to add rich oil-producing territory to her posses- sions. Hitler never waits long in striking so the world may not have long to wait for an answer to what it is all about. Editorial Notes All is quite on the municipal front. Just one more day of Leap Year left, girls. Just about time to write that New Year's resolution. A news report urges Canadian people to be their own policemen on unfair prices. What are they supposed to do? Arrest the "high" -way merchant? Old Nineteen Forty is staggering to a troublesome end. The young fledgling, Nineteen Forty-One will probably net have a very peaceful year, either. Friendship is helpful--not so much be- cause it helps you as because it compels you to help your friend. Selfishness is the foundation of sin, and friendship is the de- struction of selfishness.-- (Amos R. Wells). The thousands of native Canadians now residing in United States could do a won- derful work for Canada by acting as special tourist agents in promoting travel in the Dominion, Better still, they could do some touring on their own account "Do your Christmas shopping early," might well have been directed to the pur- chasers of motor car licenses. The local issuing office, however, will not need to hang out the sign "sold out" even though the office has been busy every hour of the .business day for the past week. A Bible Thought for Today THEN CARRY THROUGH, IF YOUR RESOLVE IS HIGH: I am resolved what to do.--Luke 16:4. EXODUS FROM EGYPT-1940 \ PAGE MOSES! Js phi THE v4 / 2 1 ARTED ey ove MONTH'S AUTO-TRUCK SALES WELL AHEAD OF LAST YEAR 'Will Approach $375,000 Mark in December -- Despite adverse weather and the holiday season, it appears that De- cember retail car and truck sales will approach the 375,000-unit mark, slightly off from November's esti- mated 390,000 but well ahead of the 316,000 units sold in December, 1939. With December's production for the U, S. domestic market figured at around 400,000 cars and trucks, the current month's activity should add another 25,000 units to dealer stocks, which now may be consid- ered near-normal proportions. Used car stocks continue plentiful "lin many areas of the nation, but in most cases are far from the chaotic condition prevalent in other years. Retail sales during the first part of December, while down slightly as compared with the similar pe- riod in November, nevertheless were higher than had been ex- peclted in view of the unprece- dented demand for 1941 models during October and November, Many observers expect a strong, although somewhat lessened, pace for sales during the remainder of winter and a pickup in the spring, unless European or U. 8. defense cvents dictate otherwise. Several makes of cars noted new all-time sales records for the first December period, although the volume increase over last year was around 10 per cent. Chrysler divisions, which were | just getting into volume production > London In War Tinfe This chapter brings to a conclu- sion the story of life in Britain under wartime conditions, writ- ten by Milo M. Thompson, chief of the London bureau of the As- ited States on his first visit since 1938. By MILO M. THOMPSON, Associated Press Staff Writer New York, Dec. 30 (AP)--If. you are a good rummy player, putting your faith in combinations of cards which give you several chances, not merely one, of success, you will en- joy the gamble and adventure of going to work with me in London, I am a commuter ang"X offer a typical experience because it will show what most Londoners face. I have slept through the storm of the night, lulled by the grind- grind-grind of German planes over= head and wakened only half-a-doz- en times by spasms of gunfire close enough to make the house tremble, A nearby bomb or two has made my dreams nightmarish and I am not quite rested when I leave the house an hour earlier than in peace time days. We. shall not choose the pre-war route under thesghestnut trees and beside. the typ Znglish Gardens to the suburban railroad station. If the night bombs have interfered with that line, which is part of the underground system, we shall ha had the walk for nothing and lost time. That is like putting all our faith in the turning up of one cand only. Instead we wait at our own ¢orn- er for a bus bound in the direction of the city, hoping wg shall not have yesterday's experience. Yesterday, because the railroad was tied up, all the buses in that direction were too full to stop and it was neces- sary, after four or five misses, to go in the opposite direction to the nearest town and take a round- about southern railroad train to Waterloo station, then a bus to the office. That alternate route offers two chances of success, but if we catch a bus in the right direction, we shall have four. We are successful his time, and off on the gamble. Half-a-mile down the road our route parallels another part of the underground system and we watch the railroad closely. If there are signs of trains moving, we shall hop off presently near a sta- tion and take one. But that doesn't happen today and we continue on to Hammer- smith, a junction which offers three chances. There is the district line, which runs shallowly underground following the general line of the "Thames River. There is the Pic- cadilly Line which, after several surface stops goes deep underground far out of reach of the bombs, There is also terminal on the Met- ropolitan line which, however, is a rather out of the way route for me and to be avoided if anything better offers. We pile off the pus and dash in- to the station tq have a look at the blackboard, Eagh station has one now, to chalk (up the temporary breaks in the sarvice on the imme- diate line and connecting lines. Only eight or 10fentries usually cov- er the early mofning situation, but this time the sighals are against us. Somewhere neathy some debris of the night has nd yet been cleared away. Both disfyict and Piccadilly Lines are tiled tp. They may be running in an hjur or two but we cannot wait. { The nearby Mjtropalitan line is sociated Press, who is in the Un- | { | not Getting to Work an Adventure + in London These Mornings, . overly encouraging and we | choose to walk five blocks across | | | | trical current, '| herded on an emergency bus for | town fo try the Cental; Line, an- other decp und , at Sheps herd's Bush.

It may be just as well we didn't catch the Piccadilly line back at Hammersmith today. That ride means a short bus ride at the office end and it was just the other day | that slow movement in the tunnel | made me miss a bus, I sometimes | A bomp caught it messily a | | was when originally cast, buts! take. few minutes later, Besides, there happens to be an alarm on. Though we have lost count of sirens, we can tell it by the helmeted A.R.P.,men "at their doorway stations and Bf the police- men wearing their | jjfusks on their chests. The day is sunny a "andibh bracing. I am rather glad to 'be om the bus. There are no planes in sight, nor any sound of them. If they are in the area they must be at a dis- tant end of ft. I decide, when I reach Marble'Arch, to take another surface bus, to the office to enjoy the morning and avoid three blocks of walking, I wait beside a shoe store, which still has plenty of plate glass win- dows, for the right bus, It seems slow coming. Then, sugdenly, out of thé upper , comes a swelling scream, a wh , & jarring explo- sion. A second one follows. The sound of planes overhead reaches me. Though the bombs have fallen two blocks away something takes the appeal out of the nipping air and sunshine and I walk briskly up the street and duck into the dismal bowels of the earth, content to ride the tunnel 100 feet down and later grab a steel-domed taxi for that three blocks to the office. And so arrive on time in spite of it all. This is just a true picture of a Londoner going to work, My case is different from that of many of my friends only because I have { more choices to make, more cards to play. During the blitz so far I have used all the six available routes and various combinations of them. I congratulate myself that the trip which normally takes 25 minutes has never yet taken more than 90. I also knock wood at this point, ON THIS DATE -- By -- FRED WILLIAMS Montreal has a Nelson monumen:, concerning which there is an inter- esting story attached to this date. Although the battle of . Trafalgar was fought and won on Oct. 21, 1805, 135 years ago, the news did not reach Canada until more than two months later. On the evening of Dec. 30 a ball (or assembly as it was then called) was being held in a hall, then in the midst of the residential district, but long since given up to com-. merce. At midnight dancing was stopped and the party proceeded to supper. Just as the chairman, Hon. John Richardson, was abou! to prepose the toast to the King » waiter handed him a parcel of papers "just arrived by special | was warden of the County of On- courier from London" (via New | York). The bundle was. Opened | and there was the historic copy of the Times containing Admiral Col- | lingwood's dispatch telling of the | victory and 'of the death of Ad- | miral Horatio Nelson, | Cheers rang out, soon to be f0l- | lowed by ejaculations of sorrow a' | the news of the death of Nelson. | Some one prcposed that a monu- ment should be erected to Nelson in Montreal. A subscription list was -opgned; a large sum was quickly 'subscribed and in due course a figure of Nelson arrivel from England and wag .placed on top of a"tall shaft, which was un- veiled with much ceremony on the anniversary of the victory in 1809. The sculptor. guaranteed that the figure would last a hundred. years and could "go through 10 fires" (he seemingly knowing of the free) quency of great fires in Montreal). His prophecy as to the figure was fulfilled. It is still &s good sas it shaft itself -showed' signs of ar and had to be'restobed in 1809, just a century after its erection, and its re-dedication was made the occa~ sion for a big eeremony at which Lord Strathcona presided. And so Horatio Nelson still stands: guard over the harbor of Montreal, as firm and fast as has been ever since 'the control of the seas by the Royal Navy, God bigs and protect them! "to be done. at this time last year following the |" 54-day strike, are showing extreme- ly wide gains this year over last, From present indications it' is nelieved 1940's total production will touch - 4,650,000 cars and trucks in the United States and Canada. That Body Of Yours By James W. Barton, M.D. MANY FACTORS ENTER INTO CAUSE OF ACNE--PIMPLES As students all we learned about acne--pimples--was that it came on about puberty and cleared up be- fore thirty years of age, and there was nothing we could do about it exe. veri perhips, cut down on candy wees, - Physicians simply advised patients that they just hap- spemed to be t to pimples just as others subject to hay fever or asthma. It. was, however, the effect of pimples on the personality of these young patients that caused physi- clans and skin specialists to give further study to acne. When a boy or girl wahted. to remain away from school, a 'teen age girl avoid- ed company, a young aWult was ashamed to apply for a position due entirely to the distress and em- barrassment of acne, somthing had So we find 'various treatments -- viosterol by mouth, thyroid extract by mouth, pituitary which allow but small amounts of starch and fat foods--all helping some cases. HAY PRODCE 500 AIRPLANES PER DAY SOON President Roosevelt Says U.S. Considering C.1.O. Plan For Pooling Re- sources of Auto Industry Cannington, Dec. 30. -- Well known in this district, Mr. and Mrs. Adam Dobson celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary at their home Saturday. Mr. Dobson has been in business in Cannington for 67 years, and is still quite active, He introduced the first electric lights in the town, and supplied the electric lighting and power for Cannington and Wood- ville. He sold his plants and water power rights at Wasdell Falls to the Ontario Hydro Commission in 1913; curing the time of Sir Adam Beck. He also operated a large woollen mills, giving employment to many families in the town. Mr. Dobson served as reeve of the town for a period of 40 years, and tario. Through his untiring efforts the town was paved and several new and wider bridges erected, as well as other improvements. A few years ago he received his 50-year jewel as a member of the Masonic order, where he has been 40 years a past master. He is also a member of the Sons of Scotland, and the Independent Order of Foresters. Mrs. Dobson has confined her in- terests to her home and church, making many friends in the com= munity. Two daughters joined in 'their celebrations," Mrs. Walter Foster, Millwood Road, Toronto, and Miss Helen at home. There are four grandchildren, . MIL. AN DROPS DANCING Milan, Italy--(CP)--Public danc- ing has been forbidden in Milan as a war precaution. It is known that some families have a tendency to have hay fever r aesthma or eczema and this is called the asthma-hay fevers eczema complex. Now Drs. Thomas H. Sternberg and John H, Stokes in Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology, tell us that there is also an acne complex and give thir- teen factors entering into the cause of acne. Some of these factors are: 1. Family tendency to acne; the chances of developing acne in a patient is 26 times greater if there have been pre'ious cases in the family, 2, The age and gland fac- tor, the peak of onset is about 15 years of age. 3. Overactivity of the oil glands of the skin. Emotion end eating large quantities of starch foods cause an excessive secretion of oil (fat). 4. Close re- lation of acne to the scalp. 5. Double infection present--a yeast fungus and an organism. 6. Al- lergy--sensitiveness to foods, face powder, rouge. 7. Water balance --too much water in the tissues. 8. Fatigue and exhaustion. '9. Lack of vitamins, especially vitamin B complex - and vitamins A and D. Anaemia due to this lack of vita- mins. Treat constipation with vitamin B instead of by laxatives. 10 Emotional disturbances which affect the various skin processes . It can thus be seen that when a physician tries to find the cause of acne, he may have a hard task ahead of him. No e of Plane Found By Fishermen St Thomas, Dec. 30--Several gill net fishermen of Port Stanley do- nated their services to search for the Fairey battle bomber missing with its crew of three airmen from the Fingal Bombing and Gunnery School since the morning of Dec. 10. Capt T. H. Dunn Jr. provided his tug, the Stanley Clipper, for the search but the fishermen returned without finding any more clues to the missing plane. They dragged the lake for miles east of Port Stan- ley. Captain Dunn said the water is still muddy along the shoreline but about 300 feet out it has cleared extract by injection, various diets' 50-YEAR SILENCE BROKEN BY CARD MINUS ADDRESS Trenton, Dec. 30--The arrival of a Christmas greeting card at" the heme of Henry T. Burton, a few days ago, has started him on a search of Ottawa for a sister whenr he has not seen in 50 years. The card bearing his sister's name was sent from the Captial City with no return address. Mr. Burton has asked the authorities at Ottawa to ' assist him in the search. He be- ° lieves that his sister recently came to Canada from the Motherland and is possibly residing with a daughter somewhere in Ottawa. "It certainly was a pleasant sur- prise to even get the card," Mr. Burton declared. "I was under the impression that she had died a number of years ago. The last time I heard cf he: she was known af Mrs. Sarah Sutton." SHIPPING RAIDS HAMPER DELIVERY PLANES TO U.K. Weather Conditions Also- Slow Down Shipments to Britain Washington, Dec. 30 -- A United States Commerce Department re- port disclosed that aircraft exports declined last month, as compared with October, and informed sources explained that Nazi ralds on ship- ping are hampering delivery of Anferican planes to Great Britain, "."The report said all exports of air- craft and parts in November were valued. at $26,738,000, compared with $31,389,000 the month previous. The bulk in both months went to Great Britain. Persons In close touch with air- craft exports said a scarcity of shipping bottoms was a major ex- planation of the decline. They pointed to the toll of shipping taken by Nazi submarines. "The Commerce report gave no breakdown of figures, but other sources said that 291 planes were exported in November, aside from engines and spare parts, as com= pared with 334 in October, Of the November shipments, 241 were destined for Britain and a number of the remainder were billed to Canada, In October, 279 planes were shipped to Britain and Can- ada combined. Aside from the shipping scarcity, other explanations advanced for the November decline included changes in some models, especially the in- stallation of more guns; weather conditions and shortage of navigate ing instruments hampering trans atlantic flights of Jong-range bomb- ers from Newfoundland. For December, shipments to Brite alg were reported on the increase. By one trade estimate, December exports are expeeted to reach 350 planes, with about 275 destined for Britain, BLAST KILLS ONE INPOWDER PLANT Property Damage in Ex- plosicn in Montreal Area Estimated at $20,000 Beloeil, Que, Dec. 30.--A work- man, Winston Miller, 27, was killed Friday when an explosion occurred in the black powder press house of the explosives plant here of Can- adian Industries, Limited.
