"The greatest Bingo Game in the World" they call it. Every night, Sonny Higgins calls off the numbers to an audience which is composed 90% of women, usually those approaching middle age. The biggest game at the Arena is the “S‘ure-the-Wulth" contest.

"We will hear much about proâ€" vincial autonomy, especially from those who endeavour to create a crisis in order to break up the confederation pact," Senator Bouâ€" chard continued. Canada‘s Unity MenacedSenator Bouchard Warns The advocating of corparatism "is another way of preaching disâ€" unity in Canada," Senator . D. Bouchard (Lib. Quebec) told the serate Wednesday, Oct. 9. He sugâ€" gested that the government should counteract nttacis on the present economic system by correcting the abuses of the past. Senator Bouchards criticism was aimed at those elements in Quebec who had publicly declared themâ€" seives willing to make Quebec a Roman Catholic State. He termed corporatism as a move to substitute a "form of revolutionary socialism or fascist corporation" for free enterprise. He dismissed as negâ€" ligible the socialists‘ attempts to gain power but warned that beâ€" cause of patronage in high places the opposition to corporatism does not dare to denounce it publicly. (In 1944 Senator Bouchard charged that the Jaques Cartier Society, (a secret society) and certain of the Roman Catholic clergy planned to make Quebec a separate Roman Catholic state.) ‘"The other provinces, the senâ€" aur said, "would never accept Roman â€" Catholic labour unions which are the greatest promoters of corporatism, nor labour corâ€" porations . dominated by â€" these unions." Such attacks on the economic system could be met by governâ€" ment action in correcting past abuses which might recurr when was time restrictions are lifted, he said. An "excess of liberty" has pormitted excessive profits to be mace by free enterprise.. He compared the present Union National government in Quebec wtih the government of Portugal which bears the same name and seld it was ‘"inspired by the same principles." But lack of similar p.udence in public affairs had "ruined provincial credits in three short years, and resulted in the decline of our own dictator." He expressed the view . that! there was no need of martydom onl the part of French Canadians,| since the rights of minorities arei astured by the British North| America Act. He further stated | that there was no reason under the | gresen'. economic _ system _ why | rench Canadians . with honesl) ab:lity and energy could not attain| He said he felt it his "duty" to speak ‘before corporatism becomes a religious dogma that cannot be discussed in my province. .. in order to protect freedom of labour and individual enterprise." _ _ It would be "absurd" to submit Quebec industries to a corporatist regime and leave those of the other provinces under free enterprise, he said. He admitted that this absurâ€" dity would not concern the advoâ€" cates of corporatism since their hope is an independent Roman Catholic Quebec. _ _ _ the inghest economic and sphere. Canadian military personnel in Britain sent an average of nearly 2,000 bouquets daily, or a total of $8,000,000 worth of flowers to moâ€" thers, wives and sweethearts at home since October, 1941, John Hunt of Dundee, Scotland, told a meeting of the Ontario division of the Allied florists and growers of Canada.

ENABLED CONTESTANT TO MAKE WINNING ENTRY The speaker went on to say, "The cost of rail transportation is a trifle less than one cent for movin one ton of freight one mile. Witg the exception of Japan, this low cost is approached by only one other country, the United gtates. To arrive at this rate, there is in effect a sliding rate scale based on the principle of what each traffic can afford to pay rather than the actual cost of moving the commoâ€" dity. "Without such rate structures such commodities as wheat, pulp and coal could not be marketed at home or abroad", Mr. Gaffney claimed. "This type of rate strucâ€" ture is of the greatest national imâ€" portance, and in order that thei Canadian railways may not deviate| from the principle, their actions| are made subject to the control of a federal body, the Board of Transâ€" | port â€" Commissioners, . whose â€" deâ€"| cisions are based on national rather | than local interest. Therefore, the speaker concluded, "it would seem‘ reasonable that proper coâ€"ordinaâ€" tion of these two mediums to the end that each performs the service | for which it is best fitted, would be in the national interest." | The recreation department of the Board of Education of Newark, N.J., held a sewing contest recentâ€" ly. There were 250 entrics, ea(‘? of which when exhibited bore only.ia number and not the name of‘the competitor. When the exhibits were judged the top pfize was won by an apron ma(re of red and white gingham, with red flowers and a lace border. When the number was compared with the name of the ‘flntrnnt it was found that the winâ€" ner was a 12â€"yearâ€"old boy; the \only boy in the contest, Creaiion of a federal control body with â€" jurisdiction over rail and highway services was suggested by F. A. Gaffney, transport economist department of research and _ deâ€" velopment, Canadian National Railâ€" ways in a recent speech before the Stratford Rotarians. "There is a federal control of railways in this country, but no federal control of highway transport", the speaker said, "each of the nine provinces reâ€" gulating highway traffic in the way they see fit, having regard only for their own interests", Mr. Gaffney pointed out that the railâ€" ways were constantly being called upon to grant competitive rates at very low levels to enable an indusâ€" try suffering from some handicap, possible the distance it must move its raw materials, or its finished products, or both, to compete with better located industry. Yet highâ€" way transports, the railways‘ greatâ€" est competitors, were not called upon to grant equal rates. plete with shorts. "The trucker is not concerned with maintaining cheap commodity or low export rates in the national interest", Mr. Gaffney said, "The trucker was, and is, only concerned with moving such traffic such distâ€" ances as will pay him a profit. In general, it costs four to five times as much to move traffic by trucks as it does by rail. He is able to compete with the railways only beâ€" cause of the nature of the railway rate structure". One of Canada‘s most active Scouts is Col. E. S. Wigle, 7 year old former Mayor of Windsor, Ont. Col. Wigle who is now Honorary Commissioner _ of the Windsor Scouts was a former District Comâ€" missioner and is in attendance at practically every Scout function in the city. Incidentally he always turna out in full uniform, comâ€" This particular boy is no sissy. He likes boys‘ games and is an excellent scholar. He saw an illusâ€" tration of an apron in a departâ€" mental store advertisement which he wished he could present to his mother, but the price was beyond him. So he proceeded to make one like it. Having done zo he entered it in the contest. Perhaps it is not very surprising that his was the best in the show after all. He was making it for his mother; the 249 girls were making aprons for a competition. His was an napired job; inspired hy love for his mother.

Value the advice of your fire chief who says that many fires are caused by dirty or defective chimneys. Have the chimney cleanâ€" ed, regularly, and have all defects repaired. Escape the danger of flammable liquid fires and explosions by keepâ€" ing no gasoline in the house. Do dry cleaning with safe liquids or send the work to the cleaners. Never start fires with kerosene. Teach everyone in the family to be careful of fire. to watch stoves, fireplaces, electric irons and all other possible fire causes.
