We Have the Goods The five-year plan of national adver- tising which is shortly to be launched by 0,000 Canadian growers, in co- operation with jobbers and shippers throughout the Dominion, will give, we think, a very real impetus to the fruit and vegetable industry. Canada, whose products of the soil are unex- celled, for too long has been hiding her light under a bushel. There have been many striking illustrations of the power of publicity, expertly applied. The California growers, for instance, have made this continent citrus-fruit conscious. Much of the success of their publicity campaign has been due to the. fact that new uses for oranges, lemons and grapefruit have been de- veloped. Oranges, for a long time, were just a luxury to be put in Willie's stocking at Christmas time, or take in to a sick friend at the hospital. To- day oranges are an important item of the daily diet.--Hamilton Spectator. Return to Horse and Buggy It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Hence, the County of Middle- sex congratulates itself that road maintenance costs will be ¢ut nearly 30 per cent, this year because of the decrease in traffic on the county roads. Mr. Charles Talbot, county engineer, explains that many farmers are going back to the horse and buggy, particu- larly for short trips, and, therefore, there is not the same wear and tear on the roads. "It isn't costing half as much to keep the Hamilton road in shape Lhis year as two years ago. This i8 one of the busiest county roads, but there simply isn't the traffic this year," he said. Conditions in Middle- sex will, no doubt, be duplicated in many other counties."--Mail and Em- pire, Toronto. Bright Prospects Alberta is congratulating herself that never before, since the province became a grain producer, have the prospects for a heavy crop been more promising than they are to-day. Sas- katchewan conditions are very siml- lar. If all goes well, as it is doing now, the wheat growers of this pro- vince have the same prospects before them to to make them .content and happy, Almost every district has been revélling in unaccustomed rains and the outlook is for more yet to come. -- Noiseless Milk Wagons Those ninety-five per cent. of Van- conver citizens who prize above all treasures those | last two or three hours of precious ssleep between five and seven or eight o'clock in the morn- ing will rise up and bless that inspired dairy company which has installed small pneumatic tires on its milk wagons.

Yet there is little doubt that the deliberate curtailment of normal, judicious, private expendi- ture is at this juncture as bad for the country as it is obviously bad for trade.--London Daily Telegraph, . A Land of Cheerful Givers Though we, maybe a little envious- ly, have shown in earlier years a su- periority over the land of dollar chas- ing, we must look to what was done with it. There is no nation, not even our own, where the rich men are so anxious to benefit not only the com- munity but humanity. Great Americans reap distinction, not in conferred honours, but in conferring blessings, libraries, museums, public galleries, paying for scientific expeditions, giv- ing millions to Britain as well as to their own people for research in high- ly-equipped laboratories so disease may be banished. To endow a hos- pital provides a finer memory than to have a bronze monument. And the light of well-doing still shines. No; America has not lost its soul --Sir J. Foster Fraser in the Sunday Graphic (London). Britain's Lead As a matter of fact, Great Britain ever since the Armistice has been dis- arming on the most extensive scale, Other Powers have not so far follow- ed her example, Figures given by the Italian representative, Signor Grandi, at Geneva, showed that between 1926 and 1930 the world's total expenditure on armaments rose by £126,000,000, while British expenditure fell hy £3, 000,000. Can we go further in one- sided disarmament without risk of dis- aster --London Daily Mail. Women in Public Life Women who have learned the busi- ness of managing the family life have a very great deal to teach to men. The trouble is that these women are gen- erally too busy and too happy in the home to want to enter public life. The majority of those who do, it appears, bring little that is new in practice to public affairs. For originality in itself is not the"strong suit of women. They are changeable only in the sense that the multitude is changeable--in the mass. Fashion proves that. A man designs a hat or dress for one woman, and ten million wear it. Next week he may design another model. If it looks right the ten million will wear that one.--London Daily Express. London's Population A continuing decline of population in the administrative County of Lon- don, coupled with a large net increase in the whole of Greater London, is re- vealed in the tables for the county which have been compiled from the 1931 census figures. The persons counted in the city and the 28 metro- politan boroughs numbered 4,397,003. The decrease in the 10 years since the census of 1921 was 87,520, a figure commensurate with the population of a good-sized town like Ipswich, New- port (Mon), or Wigan. In the Greater London area--comprising the city and the" Metropolitan Police districts, and included roughly in a circle of 16 miles radius round Charing Cross-- 8,203,942 persons' were enumerated, The increase here since 1921 was 723, 741, a number comparable with the population of Liverpool gr Manches- ter. Expressed as a percentages of the 1921 population, the increase in Great- er London amounted to 9.7 per cent, This is three times as great an in- crease as occurred in the previous 10 years, and nearly twice as great as the current increase for the country as a whole--London Times. OTHER OPINIONS ' Something To Remember The United States Department of Agriculture reports that last winter, just as in previous winters, numerous colonies of bees were lost from star- vation because in the autumn their keepers did not leave enough honey with the bees to furinsh food for them until spring. The greedy hee- keepers © ovérreached themselves, though it is unlikely that any of them had not heard of the man who killed the goose that laid the golden eggs. There are law-makers who should con- sider what befell the man who killed the goose that laid the golden eggs and the losses that came on apiarists a taxpayer may collapse under ,in- creasing pressure of bureaucratic at- tention.--N.

Can Canada hope to see the Maple Leaf held high among the emblems of fifty nations, when two thousand ath- letes meet in combat in Los Angeles for the games of the Tenth Olympiad? asks Fred Beck in The Western Home Monthly--and answers in the follow- ing article: The answer is unquestionably and undeniably "YES!" "Canada's repre- sentation at Los Angeles, July 30 to August 14, will be worthy of carrying the banner of the Dominion. Of the competition in ona huadred and thirty-five fields of sport Canada is represented in every major activity, sending teams of reasonable promise in both field and aquatic spor*s. One of the high spots of tha sixteen days and nights of competition, an event which perhaps holds as much world interest as any other incident of the crowded program, is a lacrosse tournament in which Canada, Great Britain and the United States com- pete. Interest is the keener because of a controversy which has been waged since 1928. The world's championship title is at stake. Teams from the same three countries fought to what was adjudged a tic at Amsterdam. A dispute, as friendly as it was spirited, arose over the question of the title-- each team claiming it." With the con- troversy still at white-hot pitch the United States proposed a play-off on the spot. Canada enthusiastically ac- cepted but Great Britain was unable to accept the challenge and all three teams sailed homeward without an agreement having been reached. Such is one of the outstanding memories of the last Olympiad, Canada, with a team considered at least the equal of our 1928 lineup, has an excellent chance to win this important event. Because Canadian Olympic Try-outs will not be completed until what is virtually the eve of the impressive opening ceremonies it is impossible to go into, with utter accuracy, the ques- tion of the personalities that will comprise the Canadian representation. No mention of Canada's Olympic prospects can be made without bring- ing to mind the name of Percy Wil- liams of Vancouver. Williams stepped from the ranks of the unnkown to beat the world's best sprinters at Amsterdam. He won the hundred meters in 10.6 and the 200 meters in 21.8. He has since set a world mark of 10.8 for the 100 meters. His after- Olympic appearances on United States tracks netted him a collection of start- ling wins and at a Vancouver track meet he beat Frank Wykoff and the great Eddie Tolan. And then these gentlemen both turned round to hand the Vancouver boy later defeats. Williams carries much Canadian hope with him to Los Angeles, and yet, he is now suffering a strained leg muscle. He meets not only world- famous performers like Wykoff and Tolan, but a bespectacled young Cali- fornian, Ben Eastman. That perhaps is a new name for most of us. Ben Eastman. In train- ing this Stanford University student has been breaking world marks with carefree ease. He runs the quarter- The most interesting entry for the mile in 47.1. He is to be heard from at the Tenth Olympiad. And aside from Percy Wililams? Well, Canada can point with pride to Johnny Fitzpatrick, Leigh Miller and Bert Pearson, all first string sprinters and certain starters at Los Angeles where they will meet the world's fast- est humans, As to the 200 meters, there's Ralph Adams and Fitzpatrick again, Jimmy Ball, Winipeg's ace 400-meter man who finished second at Amsterdam is improving fast and the Los Angeles track is due to prove more to his lik- ing than that of 1928. The Manitoba winter somewhat handicapped Ball, having delayed his outdoor training tos long. But Dean Cromwell, Olym- pic coach at Los Angeles, points to Ball as competition to be. reckoned with. Wilson should also figure in the 800- meter line-up where his Canadian running mates should include Phil Edwards, Fred Shaver and very likely Brant Little. So much for the middle distances where Canada meets opposition that has turned in some startling times in training. At the longer distances things seem to be pretty much of a toss-up with Canada standing as good a chance as any in the 1500 meters with a team on which we can count on finding Eddie King, Jack Walker, Earl Moor and Earl McMahon--all notable gallopers at this distance. Their main competition will be from the United States although recent Helsingfors timings indicate strength on the Fin- nish team and rumor has it that Japan is apt to provide upsets in any or all of the distance events. Canadians can look back with pride and regret to the Amsterdam mara- thon and the performance of Canadian Cliff Bricker. This Canadian burned down the gruelling course leading an imposing field at twenty-one milese Twenty-one searing miles, and then his feet gave out. Bricker was in excel- lent condition save for those fatal "dogs." He could have gone on to win--and at Los Angeles he will go on --and to win, we hope. And then there's Hank Cieman-- a fighter who is as likely as any to bring Canada a first place in the 50,- 000 meter walk. Hank set a world record of 4.47, and one of his strong- est competitors will be John Mahan, another Canuck, As to the pole vault, we look to the Clympic favorites and find such names as Korejs of Czecho-Slovakia with 18 ft. 2 in. to his credit; Castro of Bra- zil with 13 ft. 6 in.; Bill Graber and Ted Lee, Americans; Ndkazawa of Japan and his teammate the sensa- tional Nishida who has soared 13 ft. 7% in. There's Remadier of France, Biro of Roumania, Culi of Spain, An- derson of Sweden, Tamman the Es- thonian and Andreopoulus the Greek. Ir a form sheet list of names in this event--names purporting to represent the forty best pole vaulters, we find one Canadian: Victor Pickard 'who took fourth place for Canada in 1928, In the high jump we have Malcolm McNaughton whose training results at the University of British Columbia give real promise.
