"Put that in the front," he said to his manager, "with a card say- ing: Who will drive this car away 'for $50?" Shortly after a man came in and So if that were a genuine of- fer. "Certainly," said the dealer. _. "Right," said the caller. "I'll risk "it. Give me the money."

"Lay eggs," piped Peggy, without hesitation. The other day a man, hurrying for the train, thought he had forgot- ten his watch at home, and took it out to see if he had time to go back jfor it.

THERE'S NO FINER TIRE BUILT! LEESON MOTORS 180 ERIE STREET Here's the Quickest Way to Get NION TIRES re ~} PHONE 2424 There may be still some discussion outside of Ottawa about the fact that Canada did not get a non-per- manent seat on the United Nations Organization Security Council but inside Ottawa it is minimized con- siderably. The. role played by this country in the newly formed family of nations is deemed of the great- est importance and in proper har- mony with the economic as well as other powers of this growing coun- try. Indeed, observers on Parliament Hill stress that Canada's dramatic role on the Economic and Social Council as well as in the control or development of atomic energy indi- cates in no uncertain terms that this nation has received official recogni- tion within the United Nations Or- ganization of its great influence and powers on the international scene. | A proper and intelligent knowledge of the reactions in Ottawa to the' events at the United Nations general assembly reveals that Canada's role in this international drama has been great but it will be even greater in the future, this being based on a proper perspective of world move- ments and this nation's ability to keep pace with them. DEMOBILIZATION AND PUBLIC DEMAND While the public demand for fast- er and faster demobilization as well as repatriation of Canada's armed forces can be readily appreciated, it is pointed out in well-informed cir- cles that this is being accomplished by the authorities as quickly as is humanly possible. All facts indicate in the latest official report that in the middle of December, 1945, a total of approximately 349,937 men and women had been discharged from Canada's armed forces of all three services since May 1, 1945, in- cluding about 54,615 from the navy, 186,265 from the army and 109,057 from the air force. At the same time, it is hinted that the services might have to be kept in a much better | position of being prepared for any ditions in the world have become manent force may be created of about 50,000, consisting of 20,000 for between 15,000 and 20,000 for the Our Capital Correspondent Written exclusively for The Stratford Mirror By Dean Wilson.

However, there is n doubt at the moment that the mis takes in this respect made afte 'World War I will not be repeate now, heard from "arm-chair generals" an others in this country.

Then again, it is anticipated that enlistments in the permanent -- force will be coming forth more readily later when more informa- -- be available, -- tion about it will though there is apparent satisfac- -- tion with the progress made in this : respect up-to-date. DISCUSSIONS IN CAMERA It must be reported that news ou of the economic committee as well -- as the co-ordinating committee of the Dominion - Provincial Confer ence, though these committees hav held various meetings and long de liberations on different occasions i Ottawa, was quite limited in scope and quantity because these deliber--- ations and gatherings were held in ~ this capital "in camera". It had been felt that more and better result could be attained by these gather ings on the basis of such a polic since it -is not unlikely that "i camera" meetings would be benefi cial in handling the delicate and im portant matters of Dominion-Pro vincial relations. However, thes ~ the genéral public in order that re ports of these deliberations an gatherings at times may not b deemed to be lacking in news sinc "in camera" meetings produce, as a rule, very little news.

KINGSTON TO SPEAK 'ON EDUCATION HERE Mrs. A. E. Mulford, president of the Home and School council, and her committee have been success- ful in securing Dr. H. R. Kingston, president of the O. E. A., to speak here during Educational Week, Jan. 27 to Feb. 1. One of the highlights of the weeks' program, his address will be delivered in the City Hall on Thursday evening, Jan. 31, at 8 o'clock. His subject will be The Two- fold Value of Education, and will deal first with the technical or vo- cational education necessary for earning a living, and second with a cultural education for living a life satisfying to one's self and to the community. The latter phase is to be exemplified by a talk on astron- omy, illustrated by lantern slides of pictures taken with the aid of some of the world's largest telescopes. Mrs. A. R. Moore is convenor of the committee in charge of this all- important drive, the purpose of which is to stress the need for an comprehensive educational program which should be part of the city's post-war plans.

BETTER SALARIES FOR CIVIL SERVANTS Following a report reaching this capital that civil servants in Britain would get increases in salaries under certain conditions, there is consider- able interest in Ottawa about the likely action which may come in this direction here. It has been known for some time that serious dissatisfaction prevails in civil ser- vice circles in Canada about the rate of pay in certain' categories, especially in the lower grades, so that adjustments may be demanded for a betterment. Certain technical and professional workers for the government have already received some beneficial changes and others are anticipated. Then again, in an- other report circulating in Ottawa, it is claimed that better rates of pay, allowances and pensions may be con- sidered for Canada's armed services, with one minister stating that the government was planning to raise the rates of such pay in order that these men in the permanent armed forces would be receiving the same remuneration as they might have ob- tained in private industry. WEEKLY WIND-UP Canada's hard-working ambassa- dor to the United States, Hon. L. B. Pearson, who has been mentioned again and again for some prominent post in the United Nations organi- zation, has paid a routine visit to Ottawa for the first time since Sep- tember, 1945. . There will be more and more doctors and dentists available shortly in Canada. Over 1,400 medical officers and about 375 dental officers have been released gradually from the armed services since the end of the war in Europe. This has been revealed in Ottawa, where it has also been disclosed that about 1,200 nurses have been dis- charged. ... Judging by the number of wartime workers in this nation's capital, there has been no great rush in. closing some® of these depart- ments and this is causing much ir- ritation in some circles. . .. It has been made known that 26,000 Can- adians joined the United States arm- ed forces and 12,000 Americans join- ed the Canadian forces during World War Ii.
