Prof. University, at the regalar weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis Club in the Hotel Frontenac Y. Among the important | matters dealt with were the appoint- ment of delegates -to represent the J. F. McFadyen, Queen's club at the Montrea] convenfion, and | of'a committee to go to Peterboro on Friday next for the purpose of or- ganizing a club there. Ww. Y. Mills {and B. N, Steacy were appointed de- | legates - to Montreal with George | Brownlee and Joseph Hanley as alter- | nates, | the committee that will go to Peter- i boro were Kiwanians Mills, O'Brien, | Steacy, Brownlee, Givens, Austin, | Burns, Davis, Nickle. It wi pointed {out that the committee culd go | thirty strong and volunteers were jcalied for so that Kingston would | make a good impression. | T. H.

Lockett Ww. 1 | Keeley led the singing most effective- Prof. McFadyen spoke on the prob- [lem of unemployment and in order to show what could. be done by the | British government in India to tide {over the famine conditions due to | changes in the climate which affect ied often milions of people causing | epidemics of death and unemploy- ment, The British government has Practically wiped out famines in In- dia by solving the matter of trans- portation and irrigation. In opening his splendid address on a live topic of the day, Prof. McFad- yen said he thought that perhaps there had been a tendency in this country for some time on the part of the working man, as well as on the part of the business man and em- ployer, to ignore that salutary in- Junction "Put yourself in his place," and to this extent we had not in- fluenced the situation for good. It Was a matter for regret, he thought, that the Canadian newspapers could give two whole pages to Canadian sport and so little space to world news. There was very little mention of news in India and Ireland. Prior to the period of Hritish oc- cupation of India, famines were of regular occurrence. But the British government applied itself to the prob- lem of transportation and famine is now unknown. Five-sixths™f the Deople are dependent upon the soil for their living, and when crops fail the amount of unemployment can be imagined. Now it is necessary to have two or more crop failures in succession to create real wide-spread famine and unemployment. Only by government action was it possible to deal with the situation, and the gov= ernment recognized that this prob- lem must be solved and dealt with scientifically. A body of experts was engaged to go through the country and investigate conditions and causes, and ascertain what was necessary to prevent the recurrence of famine and unemployment. The giving out of government doles of money was a bad thing. With a population of 815,000,000, it was not an easy thing to know just when a real famine is present. The govern- ment has the necessary machinery and by constant weather reports, the checking up of the prices of food stuffs, vital statistics showing the proportion of deaths to births, the emigration of people from one state to another--all of these things may be danger signals. Another very bad sign is the increase in petty crimes. The people of Indian are very law- abiding people, Preparations are made 'before hand to deal with famine and plans for relief works are ready. These consist of public works. The government knows that unem- ployment is sure to follow as a met- ter of course, and test works are started, and if the people flock to them faminine is declared to exist. In the fixing of wages, the policy is not to make the wages too attractive, nor yet too low, But the government recognizes its duty to save life and leaves additional comforts for the work of charity. One of the greatest difficulties is the epidemic of disease and people are expected to be ready and fit to resume normal work when weather conditions permit. There is also the 'matter of moral strategy, which must be resorted to to keep up the hearts of the people. One of the things re- mitted is the land tax. With only one form of employment it is néces- sary that the people learn to do other work, and govegnment pro- jects provide the opportunity. The speaker reterred to the Eng- lish poor laws that were an instance of pure humanitarian work that aid more harm than geod. Governments must avoid this sort of thing in deal- ing with unemployment, President Frank Hoag tendered a hearty vote of thanks to Prof. Mec- Fadyen for his interesting address. ' Had To Pay A Fine.

Sunday was observed as harvest thanksgiving day at Calvary 'Con- gregational church. The church was decorated with vines, red berries and maple leaves. The choir loft railing was outlined with vines, grapes and oat sheaves. Béfore the pulpit was one large table and at the sides two small tables loaded with flowers, fruits and vegetables. The pastor, Rev. A. F. Brown, spoke at both services. He reminded the peo- ple that they had great reason to be thankful when they remembered their plenty as compared with the famine of other lands In the afternoon rally day services were held in the Sunday schogl. One hundred and thirty-five were present. The church was crowded 'for the evening service. Calvary church is doing a great work in its community. S-------------------- Railway Employee Breaks Arm.
