Bride Lennox Island, P.E.--John Sark renounced his - hereditary rights as Chief of the Micmac Indian reserve here when he answered the call of the Empire and went overseas with the 24th Battery as a non-commis- sioned officer, But today, as teacher of the Micmac school, he is still chieftain fo Indian youth. Returning to Summerside after an official visit to the little island cols ony off the north coast of Prince Edward Island, Miss Hilda W. Gillis, Inspector of Schools, reported: "The teachers an outstanding athlete and musician! The pupils showed apti- tude in the mechanics of reading, writing and other school subjects. Singing is especially well taught in both Micmac and English." : "Phe teacher takes advantage of Carnegie' Library facilities and is well ~ versed in the principles of | teaching. The Indian pupils are ap- pavently slow to grasp the ideas when presented in English, but it is remarkable how well they remember what they receive and how thorough- ly their work is done." "Mr. Sark" the school inspector said, "has indeed a great experimen- tal -field in education. His work is satisfactory and commendable." Happy is John Sark living at the Reserve of his forefathers with his family and English wife, a war bride. He met the former Elsie Houghton at Dover Castle in England /during the war. She was a volunteer nurse, parated them for a time. They were married in December, 1916. Once more - Sark - went to the front and the ward bride continued her duties he a Canadian artilleryman.

Pitkin, famed author of "Life Begins at Forty," it is a small. er room than it used to be. And in. stead of being in a city skyscraper, it may be on the main street of the old home town. : a Able young. man and women today, Dr. Pitkin notes in the current Ro- tarian Magazine, should take a real. istic view of the change, and recog- nize the fact that it may be neces- sary for them to work longer than did able youth of another generation at jobs requiring less' than their full abilities. Progress up what he de- séribes as "the battered old ladder of succeds," is apt to be slower than formerly, and wise youth will culti- vate local acquaintances and a know- ledge of local affairs, 3 A 10-point list of qualifications ne- cessary for high-grade young men and women who wou'd reach the room.at- the-top is offered by Dr. Pitkin: 1. -- Health 2. -- Iligh energy 3. -- Persistence 4. -- Thoroughness 5. -- High technical training "6. -- Social sense--- the ability to get along well with people 7. -- Self-knowledge, understanding. 8. -- Willingness to work for a long time at jobs requiring less than. one's abilities. 10. --* A knowledge of local affairs and wide acquaintanceship with local people. r All of which, he adds, is based on the patent fact, "Today there Is no room anywhere for millions who are able and willing to work.

Holtzman, in- ternational lawyer, for Francis-Hack- ett, American author of "Henry VIL." i The suit, which promises to be the biggest plagarism suit in recent years, is expected to involve more than $1,000,000. ey Alexander Korda, the producer; London Film Productions, Ltd, and the United Artists' Corporation, are named defendants. Mr. Hackett de- mands a restraining order, directing the defendants to desist from exhib- iting the picture, and also the sur- render of all prints mace of the film, an accounting for all profits in the United States, and payment of the costs of bringing the suit. CHARGES LISTED The complaint alleges that parts of Mr. Hackett's biography, copy- righted in 1929 by Horace Liverright, Inc., publishers, were pirated with "the conscious intention and purpose to excite, by representation and mis- representation . . . the same emo- tions as complainant had invented and created in his book, 'Henry VID".

U.S. IS GRIEVED The Lindberghs had suffered years of danger, humiliation and exaspera- tion in their own country. They had loat a son through the vilest sort of. erime, and there were constant threats affecting the life and safety of their other son, Jon. They were bambarded with letters from cranks, Lg pi crack-pots, their privacy was invaded, their liberty ircum- scribed. The New York Times relates one insg'once of this sort of thing. Young Jon Lindbergh was being taken by atvtomobile from his school to his home.

' SHOULDN'T LIKE IT It is nearly a year since Hauptman was condemned to death (Feb, 13, 1935) after along trial; and he is still unhung. : That. sio~one--should be punished unjustly is . a- noble idea; and of course that idea is at the roots of the laxity of American courts. But also the idea is noble that multitudes of decent people should not be consider- ed ecasy prey by criminals who rob and kidnap and murder; it is probably more humane and better that one per- son in a thousand accused may be punished unjustly by process of law than that crime should seam tao be a tolerable safe avenue of exploita- tion by a comparatively few vicious people among millions of decent ones. There is a further moral which some of our own people might take to heart. Imprisonment is punish- ment. A penitentiary is not a place where convicts should find feather beds and be encouraged to play ball games. It is a place where there should be strict discipline, stiff regu- lations, plain food and hard work. The convicts will be dissatisfied. They should be. That is what they are there for. And the common sense of the Canadian people should be dis- posed to the side of the law and of the officers of the law when there are outeries in or about aries. -- Ottawa Journal, - "THRILL OF DOING "lie Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill, one of Britain's ~ most distinguished public men, is credited with the fol- lowing: "Po those who say, 'Think of the difficulties!' I answer, 'Think of the reward!' " There's something to remember --think of the reward. Mr. Churchill, we take it, did not have monetary considerations in mind when he gave this advice. What he had in mind was the glory of achievement, the deep satisfaction that comes with a realization that one has striven hard and long and finally reached a goal, the pati to which was beget with many difficulties. Think of the di culties, yes, but think of the reward! -- Windsor Star. SOAK RICH -- ONCE Great Britain is reported to be getting alarmed over the prospect of reduced inheritance taxes. Un- der recent levies the yield has heen enormous, but it cannot keep up. For instance, the fact is cited that when Lord Cowdray died in 1927, leaving $20,000,000 the- treasury took $7,600, 000, and when his son and heir passed out in 1933 there was another huge helping, so that now only two and a halt 'millions remain (of the original twenty.

" The doctors had told the Indian he would be an invalid for the rest of his life. "But," declared Sark, re- suming the story in his own words, "within six months she brought back my strength and I was able to take over the Micmac school at the Lennox Island reserve." In the eyes of his people his wife was a stranger and for a time un- ! welcome.

Water at a low tem- perature must be raised to approxi- mately body temperature before it can be assimilated by the tissues. Heat must be absorbed body to accomplish this. Inasmuch as part of the feed which an animal eats goes for the production of heat and energy, the consumption of large amounts of cold water tends to in- crease the food supply used for this purpose. tt ee et ent The G reat Pyramid 1 weather the steadfastness Of winds that blow Constantly and forever; .

Women, if air-sick (company's lat. est records showed only 50 passen- gers out of 21,000 got airsick), take it less seriously than men--and they take something to settle their tum- mies, even if it does "taste awful," with less squirming than men, £ "Ie scientific research is 'aifowed to go on for eight or ten centuries, ley, in fact like most of the various causes of unsoundness, may be de- tected by sight.
