Some of the letters are of the prayer variety, while the others are captioned "good luck.” BRAXTFORD, ont.-- The chain letter has become epidemic here once more. The missives are at- riving at the post ottiee in large numbers and are causing no amount of ittconvetiiiynce due to the fact that a substantial number ot the letters bear ingaaeient postage --one cent instead or two. Chain Letters Give P.O. Much Trouble " you concentrate and get the people and the building typed then you're free to learn the Job. You're bound to make mistakes, but the manager too probably did some tiny things when he was level:- teen. Beat way is to laugh them at. Don't grumble about the cloak. room or ottlee, saying you're used to very different goingson at home. Or it you are impressed, don’t give away that you never expected any- thing so grand. Don't Join omce clubs till you’ve had a chance to and out if you'd enjoy them. Don't go gay your iirst week. Have early bedtimes; you'll be tired. Don't cling limpet fashion to the people who befriend you. Because you are sure to be sorry after- wards it you get too contidetttiat right away. Dott't plan always to have lunches with your first-day friend. But a little forethought helps a lot. Make a new resolution before you set off. Most people feel pretty small their tirat day at work.

Thomas Hopkins ot Columbus University told the American " sociation of School Administrators last week that "too many school men" are merely “academic believ- ers in democracy." "The trouble is that when s crisis arrives . . . their academic interest will not stand up under ttre and they'll sell the schools down the river to Fascism or what- ever is the ism of the moment," said Hopkins. professor ot educa- tion at Columbia's teachers college, in his prepared address. Put More Into Schools "The only hope for democracy in this country," he declared. “is to get more of it in the schools than exists at present. Children must live it. If they don't we're sunk. “Let's have less academic talk and really do something. This meeting is a beautiful example ot the thousands of words that are be. ing said in support ot democracy without anything being done about it." nag Hopkins ot Columbus , told the American " ot School Adtnittistratort, that "too many school . . . their acadeim; not stand up under t'll sell the school: u sell the schools to Fascism or what- m ot the moment," professor ot eduea. 1a's teachers college. a _ , . Plans have been made in this way for protecting all startegie points. Comparatively few bal- loons are needed for such points " bridges, power works, dams and aimilar structures, because they are more dithettlt to attack from the air. Each balloon is a unit in the German system. A plan of sus- pending nets from cables was dig. carded as impractical. In Starrer Formation The balloons are staggered, so that it would be almost impossible for an aviator to escape all of them over a given point. Some of them are to be sent up " high as 32,000 feet, others to lower altitudes Motorized troops have been in training to indate and send the balloons thousands of yards into the air in a few minutes when an alarm is given. Two motor units are assigned to each balloon. The troops have been in training for these special duties for months. The German air force has plac- ed hundreds of balloons on cables around cities and industrial cen- tres of the Reich and established a new "blockade" division to man this new defence system in case of air attacks. Balloon Blockade Protects Germany RUMOR DEPARTMENT (not to be depended on, of course): It is whispered that instead of a long parliamentary session lasting well on into the middle of the summer, House of Commons proceedings at Ottawa may be cut short soon after the visit of the King and Queen, and an early election call- ed, probably for September. Now {he Ontario Motor League proposes that all motorists pass eyesight tests before being allow.. ed to drive. REJECTED DRIVERS..

W. L. Houck, vice- chairman of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, re- cently made about the extension of Hydro services in Ontario hav.. ing reached the saturation point didn't strike as as being quite sound. We thought of all the farm houses and buildings we knew ot which are still lizhlpd hv THE NEW POPE.. A triumph for the democracies it is that Eugenio Cardinal Paeelli has been chosen " the new Pope Pius XII over the protests of Fascist powers in Eu- rope. Otiicial Germany met the 'utrtouneement of his election in sulky silence. (As Papal Seere. tary of State Cardinal Pacelli had been solidly behind Pope Pius xr in his denunciation of Nazi ac- tivities against the Catholic Church). Now, under the leadership of the relatively young and virile Pius XII it seem: that the Church is about to abandon its policy of more or less passive resistance and launch a major push all along the ecclvsivitical front. o-n NEAR EXPLOSION POINT: The internationally famous woman journalist Paula LeCler who has just returned from a two-month tour of England, France, Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic States says that a war crisis more intense than that preceding the Munich "peaee" will break over Europe this month or early in April. Only a miracle, she elaims, will prevent the outbreak of actual hostilities this time. An interesting. observation: "Po.. land holds the balance of power in this delicate European situa.. tion. Lying as it does between two great dictatorships. Poland has made it rlear that while it wishes to be neutral, it will fight any power that touches an inch of its territory." b s and buildings we ich are still lighted by mpg and lanterns. n Sound Sun-Times, rd 1teacon-Heyald and Daily Star have taken up on it, we are glad It is pointed out that Short-tailed tleld or pine mice are causing severe damage to ap- ple trees in Annapolis Valley dis- trict, N.S.
