PEOPLE TO COME, It is inevitable that, with Canada's millions of acres of fertile land still uncultivated, there will be, in future years, an influx of new population, That will only come when the un. employment crisis has passed and when agriculture has become more prosperous, Then the opportunities of the country, and. the expansion which will be renewed, will absorb in a normal way a considerable flow of immigration, -- Winnipeg Free Press, , JEST ON PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT A sedate book reviewer, Theodore Hall, of the Washington Post, and an alert columnist, Frank R. Kent, of the Baltimore Sun, have an excellent jest on President Roosevelt When Upton Sinclair left Hydo Park after his call with the President he quoted Mr. Roosevelt as saying: "Mr, Sinclair, whén I was young my mother used to read 'The Jungle' aloud to me at breakfast, and it quite spoiled my pork chops." Mr. Sinclair's book, "The Jungle," 'wag not printed until 1906, when Mr. Roosevelt was 24 years of age, had been out of Harvard two full years and was one year married, Messrs, Hall and Kent doubt if Mrs, James Roosevelt, Sr., was then in the habit of réading to her son at the breakfast table and they kind- ly suggest that the President confus- ed Mr. Sinclair's "The Jungle" with Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Books," which was well suited for reading aloud to children.--St, Thomas Times- Journal. OBVIOUS LESSON, The Township of Scarboro in On. tario, with a population of 20,000, has not had a case of dipntheria for a year, This is the result of a ten. year program of innoculaiion in the schools and among children of less tlian school age, Is not tho lesson obvious ?--Saint John Telegraph- Journal, PARDONABLE MERRIMENT. Melvin Blanton was sentenced at Indianapolis yesterday to serve 12 years for holding up a roadside tav- ern--and he laughed, Why not? As a contrast to the chap who drew 12 years and 10 lashes In Supreme Court at Sandwich the other day for a similar crime, Melvin knows the chances are he'll be taken to some nice homey place of confinement and given a cell with futuristic furniture and a Southern exposure, just in time to listen to the World's Series. -- Border Cities Star, RECOVERY IS ALL-ROUND.

CLUES IN CURRENCY, It may be some consolation to the people of the United States to realize that if their country had not gone oft the gold standard, the Lind. burgh kidnapping might have remain- 'ed unsolved. The ransom was pald in gold certificates, called in by the treasury last year, and it was the rar- ty of this currency when presented by the suspected kidoapper that brought about his arrest,--Brockville Recorder and Times, propaganda It says: "While Lord' Beaverbrook calls himself a Canadian, he is a Hungarian Jew, named Ralph D.

And the fu- ture is with Canadians, rather than with Americans among whom the peak of material development has probably been reached. -- Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph, DEFROSTING CHAMBER. A most important advance has heen made in the handling of Cana. dian chilled and frozen products transported by ship and rail, The «hogey of water-vapor condensation has been laid. | The Canadian Government has constructed a special vapor-tight! chamber of 30,000 cubic (eet capacity at the Port of London, England, for handling chilled and frozen meat, The chamber is the result of experiments conducted by the National .Research Council of Canada upon <he defrost- ing of frozen foodstuffs and is oper. ated by the Port of London Authority, |. It is designed to prevent the con- densation of water-vapor from the outside atmosphere upon the pro- ducts after removal from the ships' 'holds.

Visitors to Jasper Park who have motored along the 34 completed miles of the mountain road that will event. ually connect Jasperrand Lake Louise, are agreed that it will prove to be one of the continent's great scenic highways, It will lie within national parks throughout its entire length and; ac- cording to the engineer in charge, will not present any steep grades, while the -roadbed is mostly being hewed out of solid rock.--Edmonton Journal. INVESTMENT IN ROADS; The provincial highway , debt of Canada in 1933 was $438,000,000 with annual charges of 233; million dollars, Ontario led with $185,410,000 at 9% millions of interest on the average provincial rate of five per cent, Que- bec 'coming next with $57,877,000 at $3,628,000 interest, Britisn Columbia was third with $40,441,000 and inter- est of almost two millions.--Dominfon Bureau of Statistics, " THE EMPIRE .

When a fortune teller in Paris in. formed Prince Fuad he would die a King he laughed. He was far from the succession, Besides, Igypt had no king, In 1913 it looked for a mo- ment as if the prophecy might come true. A king was wanted for Al. bania, Italy was said to support his candidature, But a German prince was chosen, Then came the war. His nephew, the 'Khedive Abbas Hllmi, was de. throned.

The discussions to which Prince George's engagement have given rise regarding the succession to the throne have not always been based on knowl edge. So long as the Duke of York's daughters survive they take preced- ence over any son that may be born to Prince George, But if a son ghould be born to the Duke of York he would take precedence over Princess Eliza- beth and her sister, It a daughter should be born to the Prince of Wales she would take pre- cedence over any child, male or fe- male, of any of the Prince's brothers, Finally, if the Prince of Wales had first a daughter and then a son, the son would be the heir-prasumptive-- a position which 'Princess Flizabeth holds today--The Spectator, BACON, EGGS AND MUSIC. Sir Henry Wood invented the name of Paul Klevonsky and published his own work under that name. He found that the music of the foreign Klevon- sky made a far bigger noice in Brit. ain than the music of the plain British Wood. It is a national vice with us to pamper the forelgn producer of music, And that goes for heef, bacon and eggs, too.--London Daily Express, Bishop Uses Ax SYDNEY, New South Wales--The Right Rev. Dr. Burgman, newly ap- pointed Anglican Bishop of Goul- burn, New South Wales, recently put his skill with the ax to good use. On a tour of his diocese in a small car he was prevented from crossing a swollen river. A lorry was obtain- ed to take the party and car across. In order to get the car onto the lorry, some trees had to be felled. Dr, Burg- man, it is said, himself "swung the donglas" with the deftness of a royal show woodchopper. 'Scheme of Study TORONTO--The curriculum should bear a close relationship to the needs, lives and interests of the pupils out- side of school, says Dr. C. C. Goldring, superintendent of Toronto schools, in a report to the Board of Education. In particular he advocates. a good finishing type of education for those whose interest does mot lie academic lines. To this end, he sug- gests the development of fifth form classes of various kinds in public schools to provide a complete course of 'instruction, ending at about the age of 16; establishment of inter- mediate schools, transferring of lower school work from the secondary to the elementary schools, and establish ment in the collegiate institutes of a general coufse covering two years' work. Doing Your Best How easy it is to say, "I'm doing the best I can." Some of you young people always say this if a teacher criticizes your work, or an employer finds fault. = Well, it istrue that you can do no more than your best, but the point is that too few of you do that. : Some one has said that only tén per cent of the energy stored In coal is used when it is burned in the furnace; the rest is wasted, Experts estimate that human energy also, 8 largely dis: sipated. Not even ten per cent of it is utilized. ve Some of .you young people say "1 did my best," in a very meek voice, as though you were apologizing, When you: can honestly say "I did my best," however, you are making as proud a boast as ever fell from human lips. along, By Jack Coole It was rather odd, the big suc- cess they did make. We mean those { tuiies from the show "Roberta". You know, the night the show opened in*New York, the critics were unanimous in their praise for every- thing but the score. 'Jerome Kern didn't do it this time", the wisies said, Well, we leave you to judge as to the possibilities of that condemned music. : "Smoke gets in your Eyes" was one of them, and the "Touch of your Hand" was the second. Smart guys on Broadway. . Walter Winchell carried an inter- esting item the other day. He says, that when the show Mademoiselle Modiste was in rehearsal, the pro- ducers had planned as their big number, a burlesque on the type of music popular then. Fritzie Scheff was to clown her way through a song written for the show by Victor Herbert. Opening night though, came her turn to do the bourlesque and instead of riotous laughter from the 'audience, cheers and encores greeted 'her number. The producers im- mediately changed the setting about the song and Fritzie Scheff has-been singing it ever since. You've probab- ly guessed the name of the song by now. Yes, it was "Kiss Me Again". At one of our night spots around the town we overheard a young thing in this conversation: : She--Have you heard Bob Crosby? He--No, I haven't. She--Well you can't tell his voice from Bing's. He's marvellous, He--Yeh! 3 She--And they said that he's try- ing so hard to get along on his own name, and that he hopes people will listen to him just for his voice. But you really can't tell him from Bing. ' . All of which prompts us to that the public is always wrong. , In the first place, Bob .Crdsby doesn't sound any more like Bing than Buddy Rogers does, In fact, Bob Crosby's voice - does resemble the former "America's Sweetheart", and ontop of that, if Bing's young brother attempts to get along solely on the merits of his voice, Franklin D. must needs add another name to his long list of reliefers. We don't believe that any of you who have heard Jack Dale will think that we are over enthusiastic when we say that he is the finest of- the finest of the finest popular singers every produced in Canada. We under- stand he is a young Ukrainian from way out west, who had an op- portunity to study vocalism in Mont- real and, by Gad, if some blind sponsor (for they muct all be blind and deaf here or otherwise how could they permit such atrocities of entertainment to represent them on the air) doesn't scoop him quickly, he will be leaving us for a radio field where talent is appreciated. Jack Slatter's band isn't half bad on that C.R.C. programme, but he sadly lacks a decent rhythm. section and a first trumpet with some tone. That's about all we can think, of to say this week, except that The Continental should be Hit No, One This Winter, and so Heigh-Ho, until next week. \ reiterate with more gusto than 'Strumming' Upheld As Musicianship Aid By London Composer OXFORD--To strum or not to strum? Dr. Percy Buck, King Ed-| ward Professor of Music at. London University, discussed this (uestion when he spoke recently to members of the . Oxford Course in" Music Training. He decided unhesitatingly in favor of strumming--even at the cost of of those who ara forced to listen to it--because, he said, the child who can. sit down at a piano and impro- vise a tune has acquired more music- had 22 children.

In some cases intending set- tlers are making personal land-seek- ing inspection trips into the areas where farms are to be had. Mr. F. S. Grisdale, Minister Agriculture, explains that the re- settlement is being made only in areas already settled and only on improved farms that have become vacant. There are buildings on all of the farms listed by the depart- ment. . The free-moving services, cost of Provincial Governments, are making it possible for many farmers with their families to seek new locations with renewed hope of success, Dry areas where soil drifting has ruined the farmers will be taken over by the Government and the soil built up.
