Parkes Cadman, noted lec pe and preacher, presented an inter- esting thought upon the publication of rime news in a recent speech, He "said: "It is not the publicity which ghould distress us, but the deeds that " ¢ovet concealment. If thelr wicked- ness were done in secret, how they ould flourish, Rogues could strut mong us unashamed and thieves and pssassing commit thelr acts with far less fear of detection." Every news: paper can produce evidence of the value of publicity as a deterrent to crime by the number of requests which are made from time to time to keep names out of the paper in con- nection with police court news, show- Ing that publicity is a punishment which is feared.--Chatham News, With Continued Stories Human teeth 500,000 years old have been dug up in Chiiia, so you can Imagine the age of the magazines they'll find when they. discover the rest of the dentist's office.--Border Cities Star. Startling Loss in Traffic It is announced that T.T.C. traffic has fallen another 10 per cent. in 1933 and the rity system row carries only 146 million passengers per annum where it was carrying 206 million four years ago. Where there used to be ten passengers there are only seven to-day, and, if the decline continues, one-third of the hoom-time traffic will have disappeared. Trafic is already down to where it was in 1912, when the Toronto railway covered only half the present city and served only - 400,000 peoplé.--Toronto Star. Lumbering in New Brunswick The departmental estimate. of the cut this winter on both private and Crown lands is placed at 350,000,000 feet, or practically double that. of last winter. Sawlegs are expected to con- stitute more than two-thirds of this amount, the balance being pulpwood, poles, shingle blocks ard other small --er items. Pulp and paper mills have been working to greater capacity than a year ago, and are thus creating' a wider demand for wood. From the standpoint, of employment, these con- ditions mean work for more men than arz employed in the woods. The rail- waymen, stevedores, and port workers rll benefit rom the handling of these products.---Saint John Telegraph:Jour- nal.

By fail ing to recognize us us a source of sup- ply or steel, newsprint and lumber, Old Ontario is just cutting its own trade throat, a« ell as ours. Who is to blame for tms state of affairs?

Prime Western Beef "There is continual complaint that prices. received .or beef cattle and other meat animals in Western Can- ada are too low. The fact is that the West produces far -less of export quality animals than could be profit ably exported, and at the same time produces a continual surplus of stuff that is not good enough for export. The result is that tne low-quality stuff must be worked off at distress prices on the local market.--Winnipeg Trl- bune.

Diphtheria Immunization Children from one to six years of age were taken to the clinics in Three Rivers last week to be immunized against diphtheria, Immunization of school children of from six to ten years is being carried out on a regular " schedule.

They tried them last year by the thousands - for Christmas and liked them with the result that the British market asked for generous shipments this year from Canada. The larger per- centage of the Canadian turkeys that went to Britain were from the Prairie Provinces -- Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Turkey raising has in recent years developed into quite a considerable industry in Canada, par- ticularly in the four western provinces where the climatic conditions seem to be particularly suitable to producing a bird of the best flavor, There are more than 2,478,000 turkeys on Cana. dian farms, an increase in tengy@ars of nearly 1,600,000.--Canada Week By Week. : Merited Penalty In a London police court a man was fined £5, with the alternative of 21 days in prison, "for causing unneces- sary suffering to two canaries by omit- ting to give them proper care and: at- tention." That is the British way. And all bird-lovers will agree that the pun- ishment was not one whit toa severe. People who neglect helpless. little creatures should not be permitted to keep them at all.--Halifax Herald. Maritime Hogs So far as the Maritimes are con- cerned, it is on the records 'that the breeds of hogs produced here--largely pure bacon hogs--are more acceptable to the British market than are those raised in the West.--Saint-John Tele- graph-Journal, A Thrifty State Australians living in Victoria seem to have a record for thrift in the British Empire. Most every bank depositor has a savings account averaging $315. Moreover, there are 1,810,000 people in Victoria and 1,272,000 of them have accounts in the Government. State "Savings Bank.

It will be enough if we start a real back-to-the-land move- ment and if we expand our little indus- tries, for flourishing centres to spring up in the Province, where lawyers, 'doctors and notaries can live comfort- ably, provided they can escape the il- lusory attractions of the big towns, where too many of them are at pre- sent dying of hunger. The crisis in the liberal professions is closely con- nected with the abnormal distribution of the population between the town and the country, and the day a just balance has been struck between them the professional classes will only have to make a judicious choice of their subjects and turn their steps to the little centres, for the troubles to dis- appear which are now vexing the world. --L/'[llustration, Montreal, THE EMPIRE .

Less Excuse For Accidents The driver will haye less excuge than ever for dangerous driving. The less attention a driver has to glve to the mechanism of his vehicle, the more attention should he be able to pay to events on the road; and the more responsive his car is to breaking and acceleration, the easier should it be for him to maintain a wide margin between himself and the risk of accl- dent, The modern motor car is a fine piece of work, a mechanical thorough bred; if all motorists were worthy of their cars there would be very few accldents,--Leeds Yorkshire Post, A Flying Battleship On Tuesday a flying-hoat was launch. ed at Brough, Yorkshire, which may well revolutionize the conditions of alr warfare, For years journalists "in search of the grandiose have loved to use some such phrase as "battleship of the ait'; usually the name was more impressive than the delicate contrap- tions of wire and canvas to which it was optimistically applied.

Ptit-Senn, : Toronto Council of Women Tries to Aid "Unemployed Girls Giving its statement the title of "Bread Before Christmas Gifts," the Toronto council of women, puts its case in behalf of the unemployed girl in this manner. "In view of the great distiess among single, unemployed business girls wé appeal to the girl with a good home who doés Christmas work an- nually: for pocket money to consider the unemployed, and often hungry and cold, girls, We also ask the mer- chants in engaging help for the Christmas trade to give the prefer- ence to those who are in need of em- ployment; rather than those who work to add to their spending money." The statement issued by the coun- cil was precipitated by the announce- ment of a council member that her daughter had made the statement that she was going down town to look for a job, Her mother in discussing the matter with her found that several young women in similar positions of comfort had the same idea of making a little extra pocket money. Her own daughter was shown her duty in the matter, and being foresighted the par- ent decided to invite the co-operation of the council in gaining the co-opera- tion of the public in general and. the merchants in particular in this effort to-give the Jenplot girl an oppor- tunity. Resolutions also were passed de- claring that the Toronto Local Coun- cil of women "(1) Deplores the exist- ing deficient situation in children's Aid Work in the province of Ontario; the absence of properly qualified staffs for such important work, and the evi- dent non-enforcement of the Child Welfare legislation, "(2) Requests the Ontario Cosel of Women to give prominence to this very urgent matter at the anmual meeting, affecting as it does the pres- ent and future welfare of countless unfortunate children.
