We devote so much time to our busi- ness, whatever it may be, that we become nar- We hope the residents of the township near Arthur co-operate with the wishes of their . council, take their half-holiday, which. if it is' found feasible, may have started something: nish amusement for the older ones, and might in time be enlarged to take in the sourrounding centres in the different districts, resulting in friendly competitions that would bring togeth- er the youth of town and country. In days such as we are passing thrmloh good grace in some quarters, and it may be claimed that the farmer has not the time for things of this kind, but until the plan is tried should not the farm youth take a half day a week off to enjoy himself? Surely he and his elders are as much entitled to it as any other class in the community! Perhaps a half day of sports would do much to curb that spirit of unrest that is rampant throughout the country, and might, in the end, prove a good thing. We were much interested in a recent news item in the Arthur Enterprise-News, which re- ported that a nearby township council had pass- ed a resolution suggesting that the farmers of the township take Saturday afternoon off dur- ing June and July for the purpose of indulg- ing in sports, or in some other manner, getting away from the grind of constant toil.

We doubt if the government at London takes any notice of the “slight”'which has been cast at them. know- ing it is the work of the new leader and a few of his irresponsible and hot-headed lieutenants rather than an expression of the general pre- vailing opinion. De Valera won and it now begins to look as if Valera’s critics knew what they were talking about. De Valera and his government, and the people of Ireland, ' will find out sooner or later, that success for ' their country can never come from hatred for Britain or any other country. This is about the , only interpretation that can be taken from the latest orders, which singles out one flag as an “alien interest”, There is little doubt if De Valera and his government had ordered simi- lar treatment for the United States, French, NOT EXCITEDâ€"JUST CURIOUS , in the campaign of’ sional spanking.

Euphemi Klemba, a Sudbury Pole, pleaded guilty to attempting to exhort money by writ- ing intimidating letters. He was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary and will be de- ported after he serves his sentence. Why after? Why not deport him now? In these days of economies it seems most uneconomical to board, clothe and look after an undesirable of this class. Would it not be more to the point to de- port him forthwith and save the country the price of his keep for the next two years?

A man’s life is getting harder and harder to bear. The Toronto and York Funeral Directors’ Club rightly objects to the scheme of the To- ronto General Hospital to employ a licensed embalmer for the treatment of bodies of pa- tients who have died. Hospitals are publicly supported institutions whose duty ' phrase off his famous half a century ago. 'f' From this distance it looks like another frame-up, with 'both Schmeling and Sharkey r. lending their assistance to the “we” boys to f pick up some easy money. According to Eddie f Allan, sports editor of the Toronto Mail and ' Empire, there was something funny in the ; whole affair. Eddie says editorially: “The United Press in its descriptive story at 8.29 ‘ last night stated that the odds were 6 to 5 on ’ Schmeling, and then just before the fight start- ed, or an hour later. the flash came through that the odds had switched to 5 to 1 on Shark- ‘ey.” Mr. Allan’s comment that “Odds don’ fluctuate that fast even on a bull fight, unless there is ‘something doing’,” ' l d range things, and the fans were gypped. The. '1 fans at the mill were certainly surprized when S the decision was announced and booed the de- cision, but anyway, Jack Sharkey is now the : heavyweight champion of the world.
