Last week Poland and Russia signed a trade treaty which is expected to multiply thirty-fold the trade between the two Utions. THE WEEK'S QUESTION: Why is Poland important at the present moment? Answer: Ger- man ambitions to penetrate the Ukraine-repeated of late in Nazi newspapers-would have a grave effect on Poland, which includes 3,000,000 Ukrainians in the re- gion adjoining the Soviet Ukraine. Poland is beginning to believe that eo-operation with Russia is the best safeguard of her interests, and is turning a cold shoulder on Germany (who needs Poland's aid In the foregoing events of the past year are contained the seeds of political happenings, trends in Canada during 1939. It's worthwhile, however, to cheek up what has gone before. During the year just past, the chief interest on the Canadian political front was furnished by activity in the Conservative Party (retirement of Rt. Hon. R. B. Ben.. nett, choice of his successor, selec- tion of a new Conservative leader in Ontario); the controversy be- tween Prime Minister King and Ontario's Mitchell F. Hepburn came to a head at year's end; the visit of President Roosevelt to Canada during the summer was a milestone in the history of Cana. dian - American relations ("the United States will not stand idly by”); during 1938 Canada decid- ed to go in for defense (army, navy, air) in a bigger way; the Royal Commission on Dominion- Provincial relations completed its investigations, early in the spring to make its report. _ THE YEAR JUST PAST.. In- terest taken by Canadians in Can- adian politics rose to its peak in 1938 with the international crisis, fin with the approach of Christ, mas and the New Year festive sea- son Now we’re looking about us again to see what is happening in the Dominion. Because no yoke: are known There are two ways to stop a war (brewed by Hitler, Musso- lini). One way is to give them all they ask for and let them go ahead (that's been the method followed to date). The other is for the "have" countries (Great Britain, France, the CS., etc.) who hold the money-bags to refuse financial aid to Germany, Italy. We know the regimes of Hitler and Musso- lini are perennially near collapse. A little less support from the democracies would cause them to topple over, Right you are, sir. The whole thing in a nutshell. But how to get through 1939, that is the ques- tion, without a major war break- ing out in Europe. EUROPE, 1939: One British offieial in London this week look- ing forward to another critical year in international politics said: "If we can get through 1930 with- out war, 1 think the danger will be over for several ways." dian Press dispatch we learn that an Ottawa debutante can be launched for a top cost of about 81,500 compared with the $50,000 spent on some New York debhief coming-out parties.

Low-cost electricity, developed principally from abundant water- power, plays an important part in Canadian home life. Apart from bringing relief and convenience to the housewife, this widadpread and substantial use of electricity has created a large and compara- tively stable market for electrical power and appliances which is of marked benefit to producer and consumer alike. The domestic ser- vice consumption or the electricity used in residences in Canada has increased steadily, even during the Worst years of the depression. Our Water-Power Resource. This general use of electricity is not confined to urban areas, as electric transmission lines now range far and wide bringing cur- rent to the farms of rural districts where water pumps, feed chop- pers, cream separators, and other such machinery is electrically op- crated. It Plays An Important Part in Our Home Life - Towns an! Cities Enjoy Most Bene. fit More Canadians Use Electricity Scores of Ontario towns were completely isolated following the worst blizzard to hit the province in recent years. Hundreds of citizens began digging themselves" out from under the blanket of snow which, driven by heavy gales formed drifts similar to these in the main street of Oranvieville.

At one time this magnificent bird was common from the Paeifie Coast to the Middle West, but it now has disappeared from all ex- eepl the most westerly part of its former range in Canada. At pres- ent most of the trumpeter swans in existence in Canada are found in British Columbia, and the num- ber which assemble on the more important wintering grounds is es- timated to be about five hundred. Provided’ Swomdown In the early days the trumpet- er swan was hunted for its plum- age, which helped provide the valuable swansdown of commerce, but now both the'trumpeter and the whistling swan are protected at all times by the Migratory Birds Treaty. OTTAWA. - Canada maintains a special winter garden service for the protection of the trumpet- er swan, the largest waterfowl in North America. Sometimes, when the wintering grounds are frozen over, the duties of these officers include the feeding of the swans. To prevent the starvation of the birds in severe weather, it is necessary to supply them with barley or other grain, and at one wintering ground in British Col- umbia a supply of grain is taken in by pack-horse from the nearest settlement, a distance of seventy- five miles. Cooper paid a visit last month to Toronto, where a, tentative list of the projects was discussed by otti. cials ot the Ontario Department ot Highways.

The ceremony will be identical with that by which the Indians honored their rulers long before white man ever set foot in Can- Idl. The procedure was almost universal among them, and varied but little among the different tribes, Dr. Sussmuth said. Dr. J. J. Sussmuih. assistant sachem of the council, said the honor will be conferred upon King George if the royal itinerary per- mits. If possible, the ceremony will be held on the Six Nations Reserve at Obswekon. near Brant.. ford. If not, the Indians will come to Toronto and go through the an- cient ritual. King George VI may be initi- ated into a lineage of rulers older even than the monarchy of Eng- land when he visits Canada next summer.

As to habit, he says: "We are born without habits and we spend the greater part of our lives acquiring habits, good or bad. The baby spends his first years learn- ing habits of nursing. habits of hygiene, walking and talking. Slowly the personality begins to unfold as the child begins to feel his security and realizes he is an individual within the family can- stellation. With increasing emo- tional maturity, he is gradually weaned away from hm complete physical and emotional dependence upon his mother. The day comes when he must step out from his home and its security to enter a new world at school, where he is thrown more or less on his own resources. Here he learns new habit patterns.
