THE COLBORNE EXPRE VOICE CANADA THE EMPIRE THE WORLD AT LARGE of the PRESS CANADA Our New Coins To Master of the Mint J. H. Camp-hell our hearty congratulations on his series of George VI coins. In design and in all other respects these are the most distinguished and handsome coins that Canada has ever had. Particularly should all be grateful for the improvement over the current five-cent piece, undoubtedly the ugliest coin issued anywhere by any country in the world's history. A word, while we are in a congratulatory mood, for the Post Office's Coronation stamp. It is a beautiful stamp, much more so than the ordinary series, and compares favorably with the new British stamps. --Ottawa Journal. Quality Poultry There are still producers and others who question the wisdom of the increased emphasis placed upon the quality of the articles which Canada sends to export markets and who think that the greater amount of inspection to which they are subjected constitutes unwarranted interference on the part of Government officials. And yet if can scarcely be denied that if we wish to hold the export markets that we already possess in the face of the keen competition which appears in most of them and if we wish to expand our foreign sales, especially of foodstuffs, we must be careful to exercise close scrutiny of the commodities that are Shipped and do our utmost to keep their quality to a high peak.--The Brockville Recorder. The Farmer's Task The tendency to place at a discount the inherent ability needed for successful farming is at least deplorable! Such work demands more of the stronger qualities of character than almost any other. Its taskmaster, nature, is the most adamant of them all. It is sheer casuistry to place it anywhere but in the higher scale of occupations. Ironically enough, it is the so-called advantages of the cities, the the country dweller of today. But it is a good thing. Modern entertainments and transportation have helped farming communities everywhere. And perhaps after all there is still a deep-rooted love of the land, among the larger portion of our people which, if not eloquent, is at least the sanest and the safest patriotism to be found.--Hamilton Spectator. Rules For Fishing (1) When fishing don't allow the bait to lie on the bottom if you can possibly avoid it. (2- When you get a strike set the hook in the usual manner, before the fish has had time to swallow it. This will usually result in catching the fish through the jaw, and if un-dersize will enable you to release it .without injury. ('.) Carry a hook extractor in your kit. This is simple to make and may consist of a piece of thin metal with a notch at the end. This is inserted down the throat of the fish with the notch against the hook.. A little downward pressure will frequently release the hook and prevent tearing the throat. (4) All these precautions will be in vain unless you "wet your hands ■before handling the fish."--Ontario Fisheries Department. Cld Landmarks But the old buildings must give place to a massive modern structure. And while everyone is glad to see Kitchener's downtown section vastly improved by an artistic structure, it does tug a little at the heart strings to see the old landmarks go. ■They withstood the storms just like the early settlers braved adversities.--Kitchener Record.

Every day in Ottawa we See drivers trying desperately to save that minute or two and we cannot Relieve that life or death depends ton catching a light, on passing another car on the wrong side, or on flashing through a party of youngsters at play. The driver so bent on Saving a couple of minutes that he has no time to think of other people and their safety probably spends those minutes, having arrived at his 'destination, in filling his pipe, chat-ling about the weather or being very Indignant about traffic conditions*.-- Ottawa Journal. Rehash An authority informs us that in ancient Egypt and Babylonia, books were not valued so much for new ideas they contained as for the old, time-worn lore they preserved. The authors in those days were, at least, honest about it. Much of so-called originality in current literature is merely rehash.--Stratford Beacon-Beacon-Herald. Growing List Women used to talk about pin money, but now they want shin money for silk stockings, skin money for cosmetics, spin money for gasoline, and tin money for the family meals.--Gait Reporter. Fighting Drought At this particular time, when tion is so much to the fore in Canada, it is worthy of note that Saskatchewan aeroplanes are to be used to make a survey of some 11,000 square miles of semi-arid land. Experience has shown the Saskatchewan authorities that settlers acting independently have not been able to make use of the slim water supplies of this district, and it is thought that, if they were assisted by the government, migration to the northern part of the province, a costly and generally disruptive operation, would be rendered unnecessary. Instead some slight shift in the location of their farms might bring the desired effect.--Hamilton Spectator. THE ~EMPIRE Baldwin the Beloved Of the eight statesmen who have been at the helm in British politics during this century--Salisbury, Balfour, Campbell-Bannerman, Asquith, Lloyd George, Bonar Law, Ramsay MacDonald, Baldwin--it may be that the last was not the most distinguished; but would it be an exaggeration to say that he has been the most beloved?

British Foreign Finance Fertilizing flow of British capital has been for centuries one of the prime factors in world progress, and so far as the Empire is concerned has played a predominant part. Britain should be approaching the stage when she will be able to resume overseas lending without disturbing the era of cheap money, which the Government desires to continue. When that day arrives, it will probably be found that Britain will seek to make loans serve her export trade, a department of her economy that is flagging and that she is anxious to stimulate.--Auckland.

Aim To Increase School Grants Hope To Eventually Pay Over 11 Per Cent Cost of Education Says Dr. Simpson LONDON, Ont. -- Ways and means of increasing' financial grants to schools are under consideration by the Ontario Government, Hon. Dr. L. ,T. Simpson revealed recently. Speaking here, the Minister of Education said his Department hopes to be able eventually to pay more than 11 per cent of the cost of education. Dr. Simpson dealt more directly with proposed changes in the primary and second school curricula. He stressed particularly, a warning to trustf and their between i,u_. C.

The Island would be the port ordinarily used and another west of the city when flying conditions were bad and there might be a risk in landing at the Island. By the terms of an order-in-council passed last fall the government is understood to pay a quarter of the cost of municipal airports. Study Fish Exports OTTAWA, -- Representative of the fresh fish export trade of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta opened a conference with officials of the Department of Trade and Commerce, looking toward better marketing arrangements in the United States. Because of lack of organization, exporters to the United States have suf- fered loss through failure of consign-to meet their obligatir-.s. Delays in handling at the delivery end are also a cause of loss. The conference will discuss a proposal to set up a credit investigation u, probably in New York, and to establish an office in that city, or a marketing agent. Britain Plans Aid For Farm Areas- LONDON, -- Legislation involving l expenditure of $17,000,000 will be brought down in .connection with the Government's agricultural policy, W. Morison, Minister of Agriculture, lounced in the House cf Comons this week. He said that under the scheme the Government hoped to improve the general prosperity and efficiency of the home agriculture and make it sound in times of peace as well as in any emergency. It would not bo practicable, Morrison added, to put agrciulture on a war time footing at the present time, as that would involve regulation and regimentation of the farming community as well as heavy cost. The Government felt, however, the Minister went on, that it was desirable to be prepared- in a way consistent with a policy designed to ensure maximum supplies for the const and reasonable remuneration for the producer. Bases Wheat Aid on National Need REGINA, -- Aid to the farmers by the government in times of low prices was warranted from a national viewpoint and was not based on any,sectional consideration, James R. Murray, of Winnipeg, chairman of the Canadian Wheat Board, last week told the Turgoon Grain Commission. Declining to make any definite suggestions as to the way in which aid should be given, Mr. Murray told M. A. McPherson, of Regina, counsel for the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, that the steps would have to be taken as conditions arose. When Mr. McPherson raised the question of a government guranatee for the initial payment by wheat pools, Mr. Murray said he believed in co-operative effort more than government assistance. If there was a government guarantee it would have to apply to all producers. Salmon Pack Probably Light for Two Years TORONTO, -- A guarded prediction the Maritime Provinces might see a scarcity of salmon this year and next was made before the Royal Society of Canada by A. G.

Dr. Htfntsman told the biological sciences section of the society recent dry summers in the Maritimes made it probable that there would be "fl'^"!?: scarcities had been found in roughly every 9.6 years in conjunction with decreased rainfall in corresponding circles. Spare the Trilliums Growing in its native environment the trillium is a thing of beauty. Picked, it is dead long before it can be carried home to be placed in water, and each gathered blossom leaves a doomed and dying parent plant behind it. To preserve for future generations one of the most charming features of Ontario's woods in spring, do not pick or injure the trillium.

NEWS PARADE Commentary on the HIGHLIGHTS CF THE WEEKS NEWS -By Peter Randal This Year's Crop of Graduates The annua! job hunt is on as hundreds of nervous young men and young women come rushing out of colleges everywhere in a wild dash to make their impression on the business world. For some years past, the happy hunting grounds of industry have been anything but kind to these would-be hopefuls and there is many a graduate wondering if the time and effort were worth the price. For these and their younger fellow collegians, the Investor's Syndicate, of Minneapolis offers a ray of hope. According to a recent survey conducted by the Syndicate, "employment prospects of this year's college graduating classes are only a little less favorable than those of the 1929 graduates, and substantially better than the June 1936 classes. . . Engineering, business administration, teaching and genera', business classifications are offering employment in greatest volume." Curiosity prompted a test of this statement in a Canadian college. A class of twenty men expecting to graduate next month were interviewed on their chances ofigjp^curing employment and the results were very surprising. Of the twenty, seventeen had offers of jobs as early as April, while a number had even been placed in the awkward position of turning down opportunities that last year's graduates would have considered golden. It is interesting to compare the qualifications of the 1937 graduate with those of the ideal model in other years. The 1937 model is a pretty good all-round man with a general background not only of classics, but of the more practical subjects like economics, political practice, accounting and finance. His four years at college have not represented four years of life in another world, but four years of familiarization with the problems both past and current of the world he must learn to live in after the parents on the home farm have ceased to foot the bills. He has no illusions about the world he is going into. He knows there must be a period of apprenticeship in which he may even have to sweep the floors and dust the office desks, but in place of the "world owes me a 'iiiiw'Vi*^ efinnalSco "in-RIs own abilities to succeed on the merits of his own demonstration. He is, in most cases technically trained for his job and business men say that given an opportunity to try his training out on practical problems, he will go ahead fast enough to justify his years of education.

A well-known Toronto business man told us the other day that he thought he might have to give up business if it didn't stop raining every Saturday--he barely recovered from one cold before the next Saturday's drenching came round again. Million Dollar Deluge And all this time, the wheat men in the Western Provinces have been saying: "What a waste of good water!" We met a Regina man the other day who leaves standing in-^" structions to his office staff to telegraph him when it rains. The telegrams haven't been for some time and this particular man's temper has been getting worn to the thin edge. Over the week-end the long-awaited telegram arrived: "Forty-mile gale all day Saturday (stop) rain general (stop) store windows smashed.'-' It sounded pretty desolate until he «tarted to wave the yellow slip in the air and inform us that a few million dollars to his customers meant more than a few blankety blank windows. Endeavour I And gales remind us that the old fighting spirit has not departed from "the men who go down to the sea." Unreported for nine days, Endeavour I, T. O. M. Sopwith's big challenger to the American Cup, was sighted off Nantucket. Left to her own resources when her tow line parted from the tender 1,000 miles from nowhere, the Endeavour carried on in a fifty-mile gale. It may be slow in comparison to modern means of power but there is many a sail man will tell you that he would sooner be on her in rough weather than the greatest steamboat ever built. Tin Can Airships And in spite of the discredit brought upon the airship by the recent Hindenburg tragedy, John L.

Dingell bases The sun and the moon appear about the same size to observers on earth, but the sun actually has a diameter 400 times that of the moon.

Rockefeller died peacefully at his Florida estate after ninety-seven years of a life in which he is said to have amassed the greatest fortune ever known. Through companies which controlled substantial portions of the nation's income he administered a fortune of five billion dollars, while his gifts to public institutions are said to be past the five hundred million mark.

After preparing the ground for heavier planes, seven men will return to the base of the expedition on Rudolf Island. Four men plan to stay at the polar observation station for a year. Since their position is on a floating ice field, subject to constant cracking, the post is looked upon as a hazardous one. It is expected that the data collected will be of invaluable service in predicting weather conditions in the northern hemisphere. Oi such use is the airplane. Though accidents have been frequent with this mode of travel, it is difficult to imagine what progress would have been made in many out-of-the-way parts of the world without this means of transportation. The last remaining ocean to be spanned by regular service, preparation of ships for the Atlantic run is in progress both in England and in America. At the Boeing Aircraft Plant in Seattle, Wash., a giant 72-passenger ship is being built for Pan American. The super liners will be powered with new secret engines developing 6,000 horsepower and will have a speed of around 200 miles per hour. Test flights are scheduled for the early fall with regular service before the end of the year.
