In view of the showing, the pre- sident announced that the directors by way of appreciation of the efforts of the staff, have arranged to pay a full bonus of 10 per cent. of their respective yearly salaries to all their employees in Montreal and certain other branches, who have been In a continuous service of the company soaked his overcoat." since March 1st, 1924, and are still --B.

Hamilton, Ont., April 18.--(To the Editor): With no definite infor- mation being given out, re export power contracts, sthe {impression that it is from year to year condi- tional upon Canadian requirements or otherwise seems most probably right, On this assumption the licensees recent declaration, "That the power to be exported is not required for consumption in Canada," on the strength 'of which their licenses were granted for the year April 25- April 26, in the opinion of most Ca- nadians mis-represented the situa- tion. In fact In the Hydro Lamp Bulle- tin, the Hydro Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario, say month after month, "With the ever increasing de- mand a powet shortage is forseen in 1926 unless measures are taken now to meet expanding needs." With 1926 less than a year off, and no proposition in sight for an immediate start on further develop- ments, and a positive famine staring us in the face, should not the Hydro Electric Commission of Ontario, the Hydro Electric Systems of Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, London, Windsor, Brantford, St. Catharines, Falls and all other centres and rural districts of Ontario, Im- mediately make declarations in triplieate, filing ome each with the Ontario Government, Hydro Electric Sir Henry Drayton Chosen.

Mens' Meeting. What proved to be one of the most helpful addresses given so far this year at the Y.M.C.A. was deliv- ered on Sunday afternoon at the men's mass meeting by Dr. S. W. Dyde, principal of Queen's theolo- gical college. Dr. Dyde's remarks while addressed particularly to the young had an equal application to parents and those dealing with youth. In his opening remarks the speaker referred to the "Parable of the Talents" and said that it was useless to think that all have been created with equal gifts. To some were given through their ancestors special talents along certain lines. Shakespeares are born, not made. What is required of us is that we make the best possible use of the talents with which we are endowed and then our reward, will be equally as great. It is highly important that each should study to find his own particular "bent" or "talent" before he takes up his life-work. It is here that the parent and teacher can often do their best work in helping the boy. The making of a career is as fm- portant as the discovery of the tal- ent. Handicaps must be overcome. Once having determined what the life-work is to be, nothing should be allowed to interfere. Demosthenes, the great Greek orator, and our own Canadian orator, Dr. James Maec- Donald were examples of men who were handicapped with stuttering speech as youths and yet with per- severence their handicaps. became almost an advantage. Biography was recommended as an incentive to making the most of life. Nearly all wish to realize their larger selves. Children play at "being big" and it is a pity when adults lose this in- centive. Mr. R. H. Ward, the chairman of the meeting, thanked Dr. Dyde on behalf of the audience for his very able and helpful talk. Mr. Ernest Bedford sang a solo and an orchestra consisting of Mr. Ernest Madrand, piano, and Messrs. Allan Cliff and Donald Sintson, violins, assisted with the music. CONCERT AT CAPITOL. On Sunday evening In the Capitol Theatre, the R.C.H.A. band put on a 'splendid concert in aid of the Vie- torian Order of Nurses. It was un- fortunate that this worthy organiza- tion should strike such a stormy night, and as a result there was a very small attendance at the concert, Every number was well rendered, but the overture, and "Echoes From the Metropolitan Opera House" were especially pleas- ing..
