An old time square dance wag greatly appreciated by all, Mr. Myers and Mrs. McDonald fur- nishing the musie for same, and: a song given by Mr. Stuart Mun- roe, dressed in the regalia of a! Scottish gentleman, was loudly applauded. Another feature well received was a comic version of ihe Parisian Apache Dance, the characters being H. Brown and C. Lancaster. A skit -- the characters: A. Plues, H. Brown, representing a country rube and a city slicker, brought hearty laughs from the audience. Other numbers were songs hy the 1G1 quartette, Messrs Lan- caster, Plues, 8S.

Then, under the direction of the three captains, a programme of games and coun- try dances was begun. First, the girls were divided into patrols of 9, under leaders, M. Reid, M. McGonagle, B. Rob- inson, C. Weeks, I. Ovenstone, oJ. Fleming, G. Hardy and M. Crawley. They chose Patrol names: Ducks, Beavers, Owls, Wolves, Crows, Chickadees, Cuckoos and Cats, and when all gether it sounded worse than any menagerie at feeding time. The girls played a variety o games, relays and quieter ones. Shopping Consequences proved quite funny--one sad story re lating to some poor shopper who bought a yard of beefsteak at the hardware only to store it in the attic where the dog ate it.

Canadian National Department of Natural Resour- ces, in the course of an address before the Montreal Advertising | Club. Enumerating some of the | causes which have bmought about at | an 'enormously improved out- look," Mr. Price-CGireen said: "Compared to other countries, Canada is in an incomparble position. This has been brought about by a number of immediate causes; a rise in the price of wheat, an increase in the price of silver and lead, and a sub- stantial advance in zine and other commodities, caused in the main by a realization that we have been living from hand to invisible in the Council Chambers on Wednesday, January 20th, at tig that we have now a favorable! mouth and with few exceptions supplies have been found to be surprisingly scarce. "Take copper for instance. In my opinion there is a surprise coming in this market. While there appears to be an imme- diate surplus, as a matter of fact there is only about six months supply and with an improvement in business this will be quickly wiped out. > "Consider also Canada's re- markable advance in gold pro- duction, particularly important at present due to the world shortage of this metal. It is pointed out in the recent League of Nations report that Canada is the hope of the world for new supplies and that her annual production by 1940 will be $50. 000,000. As a matter of fact our production this year will be at least $55,000,000. '"" Another encouraging factor . trade balance.

In Mr. Price-Green's opinion Canada's mining industry will assume an ever increasing im- portance in the future economis development of the Dominion. "Tts output has trebled in the ' past 20 years and its disburse- "ments in wages and supplies of over $150,000,000 a year are dis- tributed throughout the whole fabric of business and industry and gives employment to nearly 100,000 people. "The most sensational discov- ery of the past two years is that at Great Bear Lake and the Coppermine river. At Great Bear Lake silver has been un- covered which promises another Cobalt and with it rich piteh- blende, a radium bearing ore, some of which is reported to be worth up to $8,000 a ton.

The north-western parts of Quebee also promise to become an im- portant source of gold with gold mines stretching all the way from the Ontario boundary. to the Belle River. : "Important discoveries have been made in the townships of Pascallis and Duparquet.
