ih Es oT a New Car Markers Are Easily Read Ontario 1939 License Plates Will Have White Numerals On Black Background TORONTO.--The question of li- " cense plate visibility, subject of so many gusty storms of controversy in 1938, appears to have been ush- ered right out of the picture for next year at least, judging by a preview of the 1939 motor vehicle markers given by the Department of Highways here. The artistic has given way com- pletely to the utilitarian in Ontar- io"s selection of a color scheme for next year's markers, with white serial numbers on a jet black back. ground replacing the current pale blue and paler rose combination, And yet in many respects the new plates are more artistic than any combination of more delicate hues in the past. They are certainly more legible, Available Much Later Manufactured in the shops of Guelph Reformatory, where their predecessors have been turned out for several years, the new plates will carry the same heavy enamel and high gloss of past markers, Motorists will not likely find 1939 markers available until much later this year than last, he said, and it is intimated the new plates might not be distributed until after Jan. 1. Plan New Bridge Below The Falls Premier Hepburn Says the New Structure to be Built by Ont- ario and New York -Premier Hepburn said last week that the Falls View bridge, which stretched across the Niagara River below the falls until its collapse early this year, would be replaced by a bridge built by a commission of New York State and the Pro- vince of Ontario. Under no circumstances would Ontario permit the International Railway Company to construct a new honeymoon bridge. The coim- pany, which owned the Falls View bridge, has announced its intention o! replacing it. "It's pretty hard to beat a gov- ernment," Premier Hepburn com- mented. He said the Government could expropriate the company's property on the Canadian side if it desired. Negotiations were proceeding be- tween the New York-Ontario com- mission and the International Rail- way Company "to make possible the construction of a new bridge by the commission," he added. His understanding was the nego- | tiations had not reached the stage of settlement. - Nazi Spy System Seen In Canada Chief Radio Inspector For Ont- ario Warns '1"hat Germany Is Concentrating A Short-Wave "Radio Spy System' On Us Warning that Hitler is building tremendous list of "contacts," Sam Ellis, chief radio inspector for On- tario, charges that Germany is con- centratinys a short-wave "radio spy system" on Canada and the United States. Under the guise of '"'greetings to our listeners," two powerful short- wave broadcasts emanate from Ber- lin daily, he said. On one, the an- nouncer asks for 'chatty, newsy" letters; on the other, for entries in a photographic' contest. "There is no doubt that Adolf Hitler is operating a radio spy sys- tem," Mr. Ellis said. "Anyone who falls for these thinly disguised pro- grams are joining Hitler's sucker list." "Hitler's Sucker List" Mr. Ellis warned Canadian radio listeners not to send photographs or "chatty, newsy"" letters to Ger- many, as requested on the two short-wave breadcasts. "Hitler is obtaining a series of contacts in Canada and the United States," Mr. Ellis declared. "He is also attempting to locate descend- ants of Germans now living abroad." Sensitive Ears Philip Shafer, 21, who grew up in Virginia, is writing letters to departments of education in every state of the Union suggesting that teachers stop pulling children's ears, The practice, he says, not only develops an inferiority com- plex but ruins one's looks. Sha- fer, who blames his failure to land a salesman's job on his ears, has arranged to have them sewed back. For plucking feathers from a live chicken, John 'Chibwe was. sentenced to six months' hard la- bor and ten strokes of the lash in N'dola, South Africa.

Sunday School Lesson LESSON IV OUR DAY OF REST Exodus 20:8-11; Isaiah 58:13,14; Luke 13:10-17; Galatians 4:8-11; Colossions 2:16; Revelations 1:10 Printed Text, Ex. 20:8-11; Luke 13:10-17. i THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The later prophecies of Isaiah were uttered somewhere near 698 B.C. The incident record. ed in Luke's Gospel occurred in De- cember, A.D, 29. The epistle to the Galatians was written A.D. 60; the epistle to the Colossians A.D. 64; and the book of Revelation A.D. 90 or A.D. 95. . Place.--The incident recorded in Luke's Gospel occurred in Peraea on the eastern side of the Jordan * River. Galatia was a large pro- vince in Asia Minor at the time Paul wrote, The city of Colossae was located in the southern part of Asia Minor; the island of Patmos is located in the Aegean Sea opposite the south-western coast of Asia Minor. 8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. The Fourth Com- mandment is distinct from others in a number of ways. In the pre- ceding three commandments, man, as it were, is spoken to individually as regards his relationships to God. In the last six comandments he is spoken to as a member of society, regarding his relationships to other people. 'In the Fourth Command- ment both of these ideas are found together. The word "Sabbath" is from a root meaning to break off, or to de- sist, and, therefore, originally, sim- ply meant a time of cessation from work. 9. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work. It is generally forgotten in reciting or speaking about the seventh day that there ig as distinct a command here to work as there is to cease from work. ; 10. But the seventh day is a sab- bath unto Jehovah thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. Rest and dedication to God are the proper- ties here assigned to the Sabbath. 11. For in six days Jehovah made heaven and carth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the sev- enth day: wherefore Jehovah bless- ed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. The reference here is to Gen. 2:1-3. To work and to rest alternately, with a certain average proportion of time devoted to each, is prescrib- ed to man by the conditions of his physical well-being. To attain the ends of his existence upon earth and maintain his powers in health- ful exercise, a large amount of la- bor, with certain intervals for rest intercalated in the time devoted to labor, is universally indispensable. But, if we are agreed that the Sunday is to be a day of rest, it is still more essential for us to under-- stand that it must be a holy not an ignoble rest. Luke 13:10-17. 10. And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day. ever so good or so wise that he can afford to remain away from church, We here discover that the Lord was acknowledged to be one worthy of expounding the Scriptures in the synagogue. 11, And hebold, a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up. 12. And when Jesus saw her, he called her, and sald to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmtiy. 13. And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. From him (through the laying on of <hands) there streamed into her the currents of a new life, so that the bands, spiritual and bodily, by which she was held, were loosened. 14. And the ruler of the syna- gogue, being moved with indigna- tion because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days fn which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath, He was one of those Pharisees who was a stickler for the strict legal istic interpretation of the law ac- cording to the traditions of the fa- thers. i 15. But the Lord answered him; and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose, his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to water: ing? 16. And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, these eighteen years, to have been loosed trom this bond on the day of the sabbath? Jesus asks two questions, the answers to which dre beyond question. The argument is cumu- lative: the woman, a human being, over against the ox and the ass, mere beasts. 17. And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude re- joiced for all the glorious things that were done by him, 2 No man is . oh ¥ Margaret Gillies shows the dif- ference between this year's "in- visible" Ontario license plates and the new 1939 reflecting markers.

Housing Loans Show Increase The Department of Finance has announced loans under the Nation- al Housing Act in September total- led $1,240,695, providing housing accommodation for 338 families, compared with $552,450 for 134 fa- milies in September last year. Contrary to the seasonal trend in 1936 and 1937, when operations for September showed a marked drop compared with August, total loans for September this year ex- ceeded August by $209,291, an in- crease of 20 per cent. Loans up to September 30 totalled $23,426,259, providing housing accommodation for 5,911 families in 215 communi- ties throughout the Dominion.

RE Flint Knapping Since Stone Age Prehistoric Industry of Chipping and Fashioning Pieces Con- tinues in Britain after 10,000 Years. It may seem strange that there should still be carried on in the 'heart of rural England that prehis- toric industry of flint knapping. The chipping and fashioning of flints into implements and weapons is an art which is sald to date back to the Stone Age, to have had its or- igin possibly 10,000 years ago. The center of the British indus- try is now, as apparently it always has been, at Brandon in Suffolk, writes a correspondent of 'The Christian Science Monitor." One wonders if it is a freak im- dustry and kept going enly for sentimental reasons. However, LIFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred Neher (Oopyrigis, 1938, By Fred Heber) "Do you think you could do anything "with Towser?" flint knapping is still a commercial undertaking and is a means of live- lihood. There is no competition 'and, indeed, the knappers lament that they cannot keep pace with the orders. There are many parts of the world where flints are still requir- ed, and each year more than 100,. 000 specially worked gun flints are exported -to the-tropics.- They go mostly to the traders at Lagos, on the west coast of Africa, or else to China or Malaya, and the trad- ers in turn barter them to the na- tives. : : The natives use these flints ei- ther to cause the spark and ignite the nowder in an old flintlock gun or else to give the spark In an old tinue -uus used ur wr @ ligating." Andirons Once Were Essential To Cooking On This Continent When Wood-Burning Fire- places Were In General Use For two centuries American homes were dependent for both cooking and heating on waod-burn- ing fireplaces, writes Thomas Ham- ilton Ormsbee in "American Col- lector." Andirons were essential and must have been part of the necessary equipment brought over by the first settlers, although no specific mention is made of them. We do find in the inventory of Gov- ernor Winthrop's estate, dated Feb- ruary 17, 1649, "2 pairs andirons-- one pound, ten shillings." Four years later a list of the household furnishings of Captain Tyng, of Boston, includes "a great paire of Brass andirons." Just when andirons were _ first made in the American colonies is "hard to say, but those of wronght iron were probably produced for local needs almost as soon as the first blacksmiths set up their for- ges. Night Watch SASKATOON. -- Herb Buckle; jeweler, doesn't know why, but he's observed that one-third of the watches brought in for repairs have stopped between 12 midnight and 3 o'clock in the morning; also his business picks up immediately after a thunderstorm, Bigger Prison Population With Stiffer Penalties Prison Terms in Ontario Are ow for Not Thought So Serious TORONTO.--The new policy of seeking imposition of heavier sen- tences and prison terms for offen- ces formerly not regarded so serl- ously is converting the big provin- cial industrial farm at Burwash in- to the "Alcatraz" of Ontario. Provincial Secretary Harry Nixon said last week the prison farm near the Northern Ontario mining cen- tre of Sudbury gradually was be- coming an "Alcatraz" because of the recent plan of sending the more serious "repeater#?' there. The farm population now is at an all-time high of 670. Nixon said. the increased prison population should occasion no al- arm since it arose from imposition of more severe terms, "For instance," he said, "the oth- er day near Hamilton a man was given quite a heavy sentence for 'cutting ii® on the road. Formerly he would have got off. Sentences also have been stiffened against vagrants and stiffer sentences also are being given for offences under the Highway Traffic Act and under the Criminal Code for drunken dri- vers." Arctic Outpost Of Greenland Thule Is 350 Miles North of the Arctic Circle--Population 311, Ruled By Denmark 'Thule, Greenland; one of the world's northernmost permanent settlements, about 350 miles north of the Arctic Circle, now is for the first time under the direct control of the Danish government, which holds sovereign rights over all of Greenland, and has actively gov- erned much of the coast, = Roebuck, K.C., for- mer member of the Hepburn Cab- inet, who, it is rumored may re- tire from provincial politics and seek a seat in the Federal House, Arthur W. Thule is a village of about 311 inhabitants, nearly all Eskimos, sit- uated on the southern shore of Wol- stenholme Fjord off Baffin Bay, says the National Geographic Society. Discovered By Rasmussen Since its discovery by the Dan- ish explorer, Knud Rasmussen, on the first Thule expedition in 1912- '13, it has been under an autono- mous government by native hunt- ers. The explorer set up this local government, -a system that until the recent action of the Danish gov- ernment was successfully operated in the remote Arctic outpost.
