Toronto, Jan. 23--Unless the Cin- cinnati Wildcats change, their minds, and come to Toronto, which the West End are trying to have thém do, the Canadians are International Basket- ball Champions.

The senior team coming here on Friday is one of the best in the Motor City, and great in- side stuff will be seen.

CATHARINES BOYS' WORK (Special to Boys' Own Whig) St. Catharines, Jan. 20--The Boys' Work Board has decided on February 1st as "Tuxis Sunday" wheq a mass meeting for boys will be heldin St. Paul Street Methodist church at 4.15. The gathering will be addressed by Charles E. Hendry, a C.S.E.T. worker, and Director of the Older Boys' Divi- sion of Camp Ahmek. The bond selling campaign here will open on February 2nd, and continuing for a week. St. Catharines has set an objective of $75.00. This is an increase of $50 over last year. ; Plans are being laid by the local Our Raliway Situation | Ottawa, Jan. 23.--~The year 1924 came to a close under rather dis- couraging conditions as to the vol- ume of railway traffic, although, when analyzed, they showed quite clearly that the general business of the country had taken an upward trend. The New Year opens auspic- fously from every point of view. Carloadings sh: a gain over the first week of 1924, and, better stil, the increases were significant as to the commodities affected. There was in the first place, a gain of 3,793 loaded cars over the preceding week; but, what is of re- latively great siguificance, there Was an increase as compared - with the corresponding week of: 1924. This occurred in the face of a de- cline of 3,030 carloads of grain and grain products. Apart from grain, there was an improvement in every one of the other ten commodiiy di- visions. 'That has mot occurred for a long time. > : . The gains this year over last were substantial in lve stock, coal; lum- ber, pulpwood, pulp and paper, ore and merchandise. They were not so marked in coke, and misecslaneous. Altogether, the increases for - the beard to have a city-wide Father-and Son banquet in February. St. Catharines, Jan. 20 (Special) -- St. Catharines has been "without a Boys" Council for almost two years, but there are hopes of securing one now. This will take the form of a Tuxis Council and its members will be appointed by the local Tygis Squ- ares. If this works out successfully they will probably be elected next year. St. Catharines, Jan 20 (Special)--A CS.E.T. conclave for all local groups will be held here in the very near fu- ture. One of these was held last year, and it proved very successful St. Catharines, Jan. 20 (Special)-- Trail Ranger work here is alive. Two camps from other churches visited St. George's Fleet foot Camp on Thurs- day last, and new members in all three camps were initiated. After this a sumptuous banquet was given by the boys of St. George's Camp. , There were forty-five present. WORK AMONG BOYS IS SUBJECT OF STUDY Young Men of Oentral Oity _ Gather for a Lengthy ©; Discussion.

The course will last for six weeks. The staff comprises some of the well-known men in the prov- ince engaged in the work for boys-- C~F. Plewman, Taylor Statten, C. E. | Fred Smith | Myers, Prof. F. Tracey, and Oscar Pearson. . . Arrangements for the classes weré made by the Mentors' Association of Districts four and nine of the Toronto Boys' Work Board, the officers being; Gavin Hudson of Bloor Street, Lynce- wood Baker of Deer Park and C. E. Hendry of McMaster University. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, January 27th in the Eaton Memorial Church. YOUNG TRADE BOARD HEARS HEALTH TALK Dr. Cruikshank Tells Mémbers of the Work of His Department. Toronto, Jan. 20--Addressing a large gathering of the members of the Young Men's Board of Trade; Dr, H. E. Cruikshank spoke on Public Health. Tracing the developments of public health sentiment, the speaker showed how it had arisen and been designed prifnarily for the protection of fouth. The Young Men's Board of Trade is a new 'organization controlled entirely | by younger men and is meeting with great success. Its code of procedure is similar to that of any regular Board of Trade. Archie Boam, president of the club, presided at this meeting. ~ first week of the New Year, as against the facts for the same period in 1924, amounted to 4,864 car- loads, leaving grain out of the cal- culation. While the betterments were more pronounced in the East, the West also made a good showing. Omitting grain and grain produc- tions from the reckoning, the first week of 1925 showed a gain of 1,- 185 carloads of freight over the first week of 1924. It also showed a very substantial advance over the closing week of last year, In fact, the increase over the preceding week was greathr in the West than in the Bast. 'While time provides the final test, and it would therefore be prema- ture to draw sweeping conclusions, the assumption is justified that the New Year has begun moSt promis- ingly. Since traffic Is always the product of trade, it is at once clear- ly 'established that carloadings for the first week in January show a better state of business throughout the Dominion in 1925 than obtain- ed at the opening of 1934. The im- provement amounted to about , ten per cent. which was ' by no mea trivial, > = 3 American roads have had the same experience. It would thus séem clear that trade conditions in gén- nd HE DAILY BRITISH WHIG a, ev IY eral, on both sides of the line, are better than they were at this time last year. They certainly are very much better in the United States, |and it has always been true that | Canada has in some degree shared the ups and down® of the neighbor- ing republic. At all events, it has never happened tirat trade expan- sion has taken place in the United States co-incidentally with depress- fon in Canada. The two countries are so sympathetically connected that such a thing could not occur. The railways of the United States have sounded a common note as | they have moved into 1925. They 'eck for it to be the biggest traffic | year in their history; and that es- pectation can only be realized be- cause of industrial and commercial expansion beyond the limits of 1924 or any preceding year. It would be unreasonable to look for _conspic- fous proofs of broadening business during the sevarer months of win- ter; yet a rising volume of traffic between now and 1st April would undoubtedly be a very positive aug- ury. It will therefore be peculiarly interesting .and suggestive to watch the trend of carloadings during the next ten or twelve weeks. The railways of Canada are pre- pared for the larger traffic move- ment of which the commencement of 1925 gives the promise. That promise does not rest on the facts as to carloadihgs alone. It has its chief base in the judgment of bank- ers and forward-looking men with their fingers on the pulse of trade. They are also in urgent need of substantial betterments. When the reports for 1924 are completed, and shrewdly analyzed, it will be found that they disclose a rather discour- aging year. If net earnings were maintained in some degree, it was because of economies which were made compulsory but aré not in ac- cord with sound railroading. The Canadian Pacific and Canadian Na- tional are .in particularly good shape for a big year. If they are suceessful and prosperous, it will only because success and prosperity are more or less general.
