THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, (COLBORNE, ONT. THURSDAY, NOV. 14, 1935 VOICE CANADA, THE EMPIRE === of the = THE WORLD SC AT LARGE 1 RESS CANADA BRITISH LEAD As a result of "a national survey of the attitude toward foreigners" in the United States, it is found that "Germany is the most unpopular nation with Americans, with Japan, Italy, Russia and France in close succession." British people, according to this survey, are the most popular in the country to the south of Canada. And there is just another argument for the closest possible cooperation between the English-speaking peoples of the world in a movement for world peace and security. --Halifax Herald. GOOD PUBLICITY The letter of a tourist from Cam. bridge, Mass., in yesterday's Telegraph-Journal serves two purposes. The writer, meeting with an accident at Prince of Wales, was assisted by passing motorists, Mounted Police and residents. Acknowledgment of "jUrteous treatment is made in the letter, with thanks expressed and praise given. Thus one purpose served by (he writer. Another is to call attention again to the value of courtesy on t The tourist in this case has returned Ihome profoundly impressed by the kindly manner in which all about her at the time of the accident hurried to her assistance, rendering first aid, securing a wrecking car, offering tc lend her money to pay for the addi. tional demands on her purse made by the mishap. That is good publicity for the province. -- Saint John Telegraph. Journal.

OTTAWA'S TUMOR CLII The world waits with hope upon the devoted efforts of its scientists who are seoking a cure for cancer. But even in the absence of the spe-fic that is being sought in hundreds of laboratories it is fair to say that progress s being made in this deadly progress is being made in this deadly creasingly intelligent use of the weapons already proved effective. It is known now that many cancers can be cured if diagnosis is made at an early stage and the treatment follows promptly along the established lines of X-ray, radium, surgery in operable cases. Early diagnosis is the all-important factor, and this is being given active encouragement by such agencies as the tumor clinic of the Ottawa Civic Hospital, which has completed its first year of existence. In that period 6S4 persons presented themselves for examination and 450 of them (an average of 37 each month) were found to have cancer of a malignant type. The result is that many of these patients before the disease had advanced to the stage of absolute hope-■ure the benefit of the advanced treatment -- and it is certain that in some cases cures will be effected, in all cases suffering will be relieved, by the ex-itence of this clinic.

Since the opening of the export year in August tliere has been exported from British Columbia, almost the British market, 101,000 boxes of apples and 15,400 boxes of pears. So important has the British Columbia apple trade become that special re. frigerator ships are now in service. In 1934 there was exported 171,023 boxes. The total value of the export trade is placed at $4,000,000. This trade has almost entirely de-reloped under . t,he British Empire trade pacts, which have given Canada a preference in the British markets British Columbia has crowded Wa:hington and Oregon out of the Press. Loi Fre In Westport, Conn., Mrs. Sheldon Wells noted that few motorists bothered about the traffic light by the school which her children attended. So she has taken to spending some hours on that corner each day, jotting down the license numbers of all cars which fail to make the required stop and turning them over to the police. As a result, some motorists have been fined and others have received warnings from the state motor vehicles commissioner. If there were more parents like Mrs. Wells, fewer school child] would be killed by automobiles. Her example is one which mothers in many other towns and cities might profitably copy. -- Chatham News. THE EMPIRE TWEEDSMUIR ON EMPIRE Lord Tweedsmuir was given a farewell luncheon by the Royal Empire Society in view of his departure for Canada to take up the Governor Generalship. He spoke on the various phases through which the British Empire has passed, the present being that of an alliance of independent sovereign peoples--a phase which in his opinion is passing. He b*eliev3s that it is approaching a new phase, one in which the alliance will develop into something king executive partnership with a common policy for all U.S. Mother Condemns Pearl Buck Novel KANSAS CITY, -- A mother who said Pearl Buck's "The Good Earth" a type of book which in her childhood days "you went behind the barn to read," brought about a sweeping investigation of high school reading lists in Kansas City. Orders have gone out for teach-to give closer attention to both optional and required readings" said City School Superintendent George Melcher. Earlier the board of education had directed that a committee of English teachers study the optional reading lists and eliminate all they consider "not appropriate". s. E. B. McCann objected to the books as unfit for her 15-year-old son. She said she had "read scarcely more than a third of this volume," but ask-; "Why should anyone be required to wade through the filth in order to get some kind of a lesson at the end of the book?" Mrs. McCann expressed belief that "book reviewers, the so-called intelligentsia and the great American reading public, are so ignorant they don't know trash when they it." Crowding Them In that Empire, the i There was a truck loaded stock going east through Stratford^ number of people gathered i short stop was made, ob-the Stratford Beacon-Herald. It was necessary for the driver of the truck to get up in the load and use a rope in order to get the head of one young animal up. There had been such crowding that once the head got down it could not get it again. The truck drove off before there was time to take any action about having some of the animals taken out. As the departure was made it was noticed that the animal's head which had been pulled up once more went down because there was no comfort in having the head up. It did not look as though there was an animal in that truck which could move if it tried so tight were they wedged in there. There is law against that sort of thing but the trouble is that a truck once under way can keep right on going and there is small opportunity witness the manner of the packing d crowding and therefore no remedial action is taken. Certainly that truck which passed through lis city was an example of a method hich should not be tolerated. Education Laws Will Be Altered TORONTO,--More than a dozen amend.merfts to existing legislation governing education in Ontario will be introduced at this forthcoming session of the Legislature, it was stated officially at Queen's Park last week. Chief among them will be recommendations contained in the rport of the special inquiry committee appointed a short time ago by the Provincial Government under Duncan McArthur, deputy minister of education. Prpbably the most .important of the amendmants will be that respecting school taxation, about which the deputy minister will say nothing. There is some possibility that the committee's report will not be made public, but that it will be made in the form of recommendations for amend, menfs to existing legislation, and as such would not be brought out until the assembly sits again. Besides new amendments there still remain some which were left over from the last session and which will be tintroduced in the new House.

Teachings of many prominent persons, suggestions in some tion pictures and articles in certain types of magazines and newspapers, and in books, are giving many young people false standards of morality. The adversary is apparently making every possible effort, to lead young people into immorality and unchastity, one of the surest means of leading them into apostasy and condemnation. Young people, as a rule, are anxious to do what is right; but with so many influences at work to lead them astray they need counsel and advice. They need warning of the far-reaching effects and serious consequences of immorality. President Joseph F. Smith, in an article entitled Unchastity, the Dominant Evil of the Age, wrote: "No loathsome cancer disfigures the body and soul of society today. It skulks through the land in blasphemous defiance of the laws of God and of man. Whether openly known or partly concealed under the cloak of guilty secrecy, the results are potent in evil influence." The Gospel teaches a definite standard of morality. This stand-binding upon all members, old or young, male or female. It is the standard of personal purity and strict chastity. cause wounds which render the roots very .susceptible to attack by rot-producing diseases. The removed clump should be turned upside down to let moisture drain out of the stems and allowed t0 dry for two or three hours, particularly if the soil is wet. Removing the soil adhering to the roots is not necessary, particularly if the clump has been thoroughly dried. The root should be istored in a frost-proof place, but no where it is too warm, to prevent shrivelling. Good results were obtained when to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Sphagnum moss found to be the most satisfactory for packing the roots. This when thoroughly air-dried, took care moisture from the roots, and at the same time prevented ex-drying. Well-matured roots stood a higher storage temperature than immature ones. Mature roots survived temperatures ranging from 65 to 70 degrees, but suffered considerably from drying. Moisture The vigor of plants grown from roots stored at low temperatures 35 to 45 degrees -- was greater than those stored at 60 to 70 degrees. There was less soft and dry rot in well-matured roots, whether stored at high or low temperatures. Regardless of what the storage ditions are, the roots should be amined from time to time -through, the Winter. If conditions to the moss. If there is evidence of rot, the roots should be moved to dryer place..

Experiments conducted by the Division of Botany of the Dominion Experimental Farms Branch show that these losses can be reduced materially by proper attention to the lifting and storing of the roots. As soon as the dahlia plant has completed its full growth, it be-storing material in the roots for future use. This will vary with the on, locality and the variety. When the plant is mature it should 3 cut down and the roots dug very refully with a spading fork.

EXCESSIVE SPEED IS WHAT KILLS High-Powered Machines Better Than Their Drivers' Report Shows. Comments the New York Times: "The official census figures on' automobile fatalities do not greatly* differ from the earlier estimates.1 They indicate that 35,768 people were killed in the United States last year" compared with 30,760 the year before..... What is the cause of this shock-" g increase? About half of it may: be attributed to increased use oi ghway, gasoline consumption1 having jumped 7.5 per cent, last year. A small fraction may hi blamed on drinking and drunken ^ers, with more money to spend liquor. Most of the remainder of the added fatalities can safely be' charged to increased speed ,as dis-, tinguished from that convenient but overworked scapegoat, reckless dt.V-' ing. Highway speeds are "definitely-higher than they were a few years ago," as the president of the National Safety Council explained in his address at Louisville. People who used to be content with 35 an hour are now "impatient at 45." Thanks again to better, equipment and improved highway surfacing, the ordinary driver often does not realize how fast he is going; 50 miles an hour today seems no more than 25 in the old days. Moreover, "any current model can be driven much faster than the, average driver's reflexes will permit handling with any reasonable degree of safety." He does not stop to figure' out that a car going twice as fast takes four times as far to stop. He makes no allowance for the time it, takes him to "make up his mind" to, t on the brakes, three-quarters of second on the average--a signifl-; cant and sometimes, at high speeds; fatal interval. At 80 miles an hour,! for example, the "reaction distance" measured at 66 feet, which must, be added to a "braking distance" of; 160 feet, to calculate the total "stop-,1 ping distance" of no less than 22(5 feet. Bearing these figures in mind, it; is little wonder that two-thirds of; all fatalities to occupants of auto-| mobiles occur at speeds in excess ot 45 miles an hour.
