RECORD TOBACCO CROP With the favourable weather conditions, the record crop of flue-cured tolbaceo in Southwestern Ontario was harvested without any frost damage. The crop matured very well this year and went into the curing kilns in excellent condition. Some difficulty was experienced in curing the early primings from the bottom of the plant, and the leaves from the first primings were thinner than anticipated. The middle and upper portion of the plant, however, possessed much better body and cured well. Consequently the quality of the crop as a whole appears to be very good. Estimates place the crop at about 60,000,000 pounds as compared with 54,000,000 pounds last year. Burley tobacco also ripened early this year and was harvested under favourable cinditions. The quality will average better than las t year with more good and poor tobacco and less medium than normally. Production of burley is expected to reach at least 10.500.000 pounds, which compare with 6.392.000 pounds in 1937. The acreage was increased from 2,300 acres last year to approxiimately 3,000 in 1938. Production of all types of tobacco in 19&8 may be about 72,000.000 pounds, as compared with the previous record crop of 62.320.000 pounds harvested in 1937. Canadian cattle exports to Great Britain during 1938 up to September list, totalled' 25,792 head, compared with 7.200 in corresponding period of Memorial Window For Banff Churdr ladian Rockies, and the sweet tones of the bells of St. <Jeorge Church, Banff, Alberta, Miss Jessie Van Brunt of Brooklyn, New York, has presented the church with a memorial window WThich she designed and made herself. The window embodies the idea of the Church bells as angels or God's messengers sending inspiring invitations to worship. It was placed above the main entrance and is in memory of the late Canon Henry Montgomery, M.A., rector of this church from 1921-24, previously rector of St. Peter's Church, Kingsclear, N.B., and Canon of Christ Church Cathedral in the diocese of Fred- of Si. Barnabas Church, Calgary. He served in the C.E.F. from 1916-18, being chaplain of No. 14 Canadian Hospital at Eastbourne, England. He died at 75 on July 9, 1929. Rt. Rev. L. Ralph Sherman, M.A.B.

Robert Brett, Lieutenant-Governor of Alberta in 1925, later being dedicated by Rt. Rev. Cyprian Pinkham, D.D., D.C.L., late Bishop of Calgary, in 1927. Rev. Canon Tully Montgomery is the present What is A Million? How many is a million? A million men standing in single file would stretch from Toronto to" Montreal--about 350 mils. Marching, if each man took just one second to pass a given point, the parade would last eleven days. How many is a billion? In English and German numeration, a billion is a million millions. In French and American numeration, a billion is a thousand millions. In Canada a billion men, marching in single file, would take thirty years, to pass you if you stood still that long. Think what a billion dollars mean! The combined cost of government, in Canada in one year is more than a billion dollars. By careful calculation, the Citizens' Research Institute estimates that in 1936 the total expenditure on current account of all governments--Dominion Provincial and Municipal, including' schools and expenditures on dl-~ rect relief, amounted to $1,070,731-792. That, in round figures, is one billion, seventy and three-quarters millions. Imagine that many dollars blowing by you in one year. Imagine $-97 dollars of your own money among them. For were the cost of these expenditures divided evenly among every man woman and child in the Dominion, that would be your own share. Multiply it 'by the number of the family you support. You and your fellow Canadians pay that sum in visible and invisible Figures of astronomical magnitude don't convey much to most people. They cannot grasp them. In Nebraska, there is no state debt and taxes are low because the citizens have learned to visualize millions and billions in terms that, will fit their own pockets. As Walter Pierpont, President of the Association of Omaha Taxpayers1, puts it: "We have taught the voters that a bond issue is more than a mortgage on the city hall. It is defii- Charles H. Brown (Roseneath) After an illness of several weeks' 'duration Charles Herbert Lewis Browp, an old and prominent resident of Roseneath, passed away at the resident of his brother, Mr. A. J. Brown, Belleville, on Sundav, Oct. 2nd, 1938. Mr. Brown, who was in his 69th year, was born on a farm near Roseneath, and resided in that locality all his life. At an early age he commenced as a clerk jn Harston's general store at Roseneath and eventually became the owner of the business, which he conducted successfully for the past forty years. He had held the position of Post Master at Roseneath for 45 years. The success of Roseneath Fair was largely due to Mr. Brown's organizing ability and the time he devoted to it. Surviving him are one sister, Miss Ella Brown, Roseneath, and one brother, Mr. A. J. Brown of Belleville, and Virginia, Minn, Canada Chief Supplier British statistics for 1937 show that bacon imports from Canada, the largest Empire supplier, expanded by 27 per cent to 1,387,000 cwts., and comprised 20 per cent of the total bacon imported into the United Kingdom. The statistics also show that in 337 Canada displaced the United States as the world chief source of imported hams to the British market, sending 314.600 cwts., compared with 277,700 cwts. in 1936, an increase of 13 per cent. nitely a mortgage on their own homes. Wlhen any expenditure is suggested, we. ask the citizens if they want it enough to mortgage their own homes for it. We have found that the best way to rouse public pressure against spending proposals." When Canadains learn to substitute "we pay" for "the government pays," there will be more careful spending, less debt and interest, lower taxes and more spending money for each individual.

During the past year over three score of them donated 40,000 hours of work to the task of giving sick and injured children the very best chance for the recovery of health* and happiness. Crippled? Deformed? Hurt in an accident? Suffering from Disease? Just "yes" to any of these questions has always opened the doors of this institution to children in need of hospital care. No distinction has ever been made in respect to race, creed or circumstances. The Provincial and Municipal Governments each contribute a fixed amount per day for those who cannot pay. But these grants do not contemplate the cost of medicines, operating rooms, oxygen, X-rays, plaster casts, anaesthetics, special diets and extra nursing--and they do not provide for the cost of many, many other necessary items. Each year we depend on public subscriptions to cover these extra costs. Won't you help this very worthy cause? Please send your gift direct to 67 College Street, Toronto. We employ no canvassers.
