ee ------ THURS., DECEMBER 31, 1936 PvE HA [LEYBURIAN Page 7 weer ecce sce eos e+ se . 7 The Ottawa Spotlight : By Wilfrid Eggleston } wee ccccc cece e Ottawa, Dec. 29th--This is the season when year-end reviews flourish and forecasts are made of the coming' 12 months. We have been saying that "things are getting better" for so many months now--some people have been saying it ever since 1930-- that the more sceptical may be excused if they refuse to be im- pressed. But aside from the cal- amitous drought which reduced the western wheat crop to the lowest yield since °1919, and brought. 250,000 people to desti- tution, the year 1936 has been one of remarkable recovery in Canadian industrial life. There is not the slightest doubt about it. I have before me the figures for Canada's external trade. . For the 12 months ended November 30th (December totals not yet being available) the exports of Canadian produce just miss the billion dollar mark. That was 178 millions more than the year before, 250 millions more than the previous year, 404 millions more than in 1933. Imports, sim- jlarly, are up 70 millions above } the previous year, 111' millions|'. above the. year before, 226 mil- lions higher than 1933. For 17 consecutive months the value of Canadian exports has registered a big gain over the same month of the previous year. Prospects for 1937 What of 1937? Is it too much tb expect that at long last the construction industry, . including house-building will return to normal activity, re-employing at one stroke at least 200,000 per- sons, directly or indirectly? That the federal budget willbe brought within a few millions of a bal- ance? That a new trade agree- ment, practically as advantage- ous as the last, will be ratified with the United Kingdom? That the burden of unemployment re- lief will ease everywhere, and in the happier localities disappear altogether ?

They jare given this name because of 'one outstanding and important characteristic. . They are all spread from one person to an- jother, from the sick to the well, and usually the spread is fairly \direct. The reason why these diseases are communicable is that they are all caused by disease germs. Disease germs are so small that jwe cannot see them without the limited funds at the disposal of the government for only one or two of these. Will 1937 see further lowering of Canada's tariff wall, notably in British preferential lines? It would not be surprising. Will it see the signing of a new St. Law- rence waterway treaty, or an en- dorsation of the present one by the United States Senate. Re-Vamping the Constitution Will the whole basis of the financial arrangements in the B. N.A. Act be studied by a commis- sion of eminent authorities, to see whether a division of obliga- tions and taxing powers suitable for 1867 is still adequate? Will the government again go into the wheat business with a govern- ment board, or will the Turgeon commission advise that the best interests of all concerned lie in the retention of the present pri- vate grain exchange at Winni- | peg? And what of Canada's pentiten- tiaries, now under review by a royal commission. Will there be % BORN CThe SNAPSH OT CUIL "Bring 'Em Back Alive" 'a Hunting with the camera offers many a thrill. This trophy was "shot" against the light of a clouded sun on supersensitive film. ANY experienced sportsmen who can't be accused of being "softies" have been giving attention of late to hunting and fishing pho- tography. They are trying to get on film, for permanent record and last- ing enjoyment, flashes of outdoor drama that stamp themselves on their memories but which never can be adequately pictured in words. These sportsmen realize that, un- less one is a dramatic story teller, re- counting how the buck deer leaped the windfall or how the big trout jumped and took the lure that got caught in the alder, does not always "get over'; but, to be able to show one's friends an actual picture of such a happening, ah! that is not only convincing but a much greater satisfaction. Moreover, camera using sportsmen are taking as much pride in their+ picture trophies as in having actually shot the game or caught the fish, and rightly so, after discovering that to capture wild life with a camera requires as much skill, alertness, and quick thinking as with rod or gun. The advent of the vest pocket and miniature-type cameras, together with modern fast film, is principally responsible for adding this new zest to the sport of hunting and fishing; indeed, for actually creating a new outdoor sport, because many now hunt equipped with a camera only. In the first place, these cameras are _ light, small and convenient to carry, some of them weighing scarcely more than a couple of loaded shot- gun shells. Secondly, the miniature type is available with ultra fast lenses and shutter speeds, so that the j ing fish or the r ani- mal may be "stopped" on the film without much chance of showing WAS AT OWE TIME MAYOR OF --by "Movie Spotlight" "LINUSUAL FACTS REVEALED.
