In 1930, she was commissioned by the Field Museum of Chicago to travel over the world and make models of different races. For five years she visited various eountries, bribing natives to pose while she molded their likenesses. .â€"And Complications Miss Hoffman said she found headhunters "most interested" and very helpful in her work. _ American and European gentiecâ€" men could take a few tips from the African bushmen and the South Sea Islands beadâ€"hunters in the matter of courtesy and poâ€" liteness, Malvina Hoffman, noted sculptress, believes. Miss Hoffman, who has spent more than five years travelling about the world, using many difâ€" ferent peoples for her models, reâ€" vealed her observations in a reâ€" cent address before an audience at the University of Pittsburgh. "When people hear I have been in islands inhabited by headâ€" hunters and in jungles where canniâ€" bals live they‘re aweâ€"stricken at my courage," the sculptor said. "I hastily assure them that fewer people were more courteous than the soâ€"called savages." 2 P. A.

PATTERN MAKERS, MACHINISTS WANTED The "craftsmen â€"needed" list posted at the London, Ont., ofâ€" fices of the Employment Service of Canada is now a lengthy one, with industries applying particuâ€" iwly for the services of metai pattern makers, tool designers, milling and automatic screw maâ€" chine operators, lathe hands, maâ€" chinists of all kinds, experienced dra‘tsmen, planers and shapers and fabric workers. Demand for workers in "peace time trades" continues spasmodic, however, it was reported. Skilled Labor Need Increases Dependent on these mines are towns and cities with great popuâ€" lations. Timmins has over 40,â€" 000 people in its district and there are hundreds of smaller mining centres. What are such towns and cities going to do when the mines are exhausted? Recently the Royal Society of Canada set up a committee to study the resources of the counâ€" try with the object of assisting in their development in the best interests of our people. The first report of this committee is on my desk. It is an address by J. J. O‘Neill, Dean of the Graduâ€" ate School of McGill University, a comprehensive review of the exploitation and conservation of the mineral resources of Canada. Livelihood for Northerners Dr. O‘Neill suggests that when the minerals become exhausted we should be ready with other means of livelihod for the people dependent, at present, on the mines. Farming, in much of this country, is nonâ€"existent for the simple reason that there is very little soil over the rocks. Lumberâ€" ing is of first class importance for the land will grow trees and these can be harvested. Trapâ€" ping will yield good incomes for some if the furâ€"bearers are propâ€" erly handled. Fishing, commerâ€" cial and angling, in the many lakes will be a source of revenue to cthers. And finally, there are in the mining country great hyâ€" droâ€"electric plants yielding power for the mines. These may serve as a base for certain types of manufacturing, provided raw maâ€" terials can be secured.

Frankiin D. Roosevelt‘s decisive defeat of Wendell L. Willkie at the U.S. polls last week was hailâ€" ed in a dozen capitals of the world as a victory for the antiâ€" Axis forces over Hitler and Musâ€" solini. Loud was the cheering in South America; the conquered peoples of Europe awoke that morning with new hope in their hearts; but perhaps it was in England that men and women were happiest to hear that the Great Democrat had won again. To them, it meant everâ€"increasing help from the United States in the war against Germany and Italy, possibly the turning of the tide in favor of Britain.

W E E Kâ€"Commentary on Current Events The Churchills See Although the Battle of Britain and the Battle of the Mediterâ€" ranean had been swept off the centreâ€"front pages by the Amâ€" erican elections, events of great significance _ were _ nevertheless taking shape in many parts of the world. The shadow of war grew over the Balkans; Spain took Tangier; Japan besan largeâ€" scale withdrawals in southera China. Rumors swept through London: that there was a rift in the Germanâ€"Italian setâ€"up; that Rusâ€" sia had offered to fight the Axis powers if Turkey were attacked; that Germans were being conâ€" centrated in Lithuania to attack sible aid to Britain: more ships, more planes, more supplies of all kinds. It was expected that legislation would shortly be enâ€" acted to permit credit grants to Britain and facilitate heavier British purchases in the U.S. ("We‘ll be in the war by April if Roosevelt wins," Willkie had said.) For Themselves The Shadow Grows Negotiations preliminary to a formal nonâ€"aggression treaty beâ€" tween the Soviet Union and Japan were understood to be proceeding smoothly. It was said â€"Russia would get the use of the great port of Dairen, South Manchuria, and the right to send sealed frieght trains over the North Manchuria Railway. Germans Are Gloomy GERMANY: Speaking over the air on the CBC‘s "Face the Facts" series, Richard Boyer, journalist with the New York daily "PM", said that he found in recent travels through Germany that "while the rest of the world reâ€" gards Russia and Germany as allied, it is generally taken for granted in Nazi circles that Gerâ€" many will invade Russia in 1941." Nazi officials, he declared, said the Soviet Union would either deâ€" liver the Ukraine, the Baku cil regions and the former Baltic RUSSIA: A British protest terming Soviet Russia‘s participaâ€" tion in the formation of a Danube river commission with Germany, Italy and Rumania a violation of neutrality was rejected by the Russian government. Their reply pointed out that Russia had a vital interest in the Danube while Britain was "thousands of kilometres" away, and was tanâ€" tamount to saying "We‘re in the Balkans and are staying in." to save Italian prestige. But with winter fast approaching, and British hel> to Greece increasing daily, it might happen that one thing alone could stop the inâ€" vasion from becoming a debacie â€"a German thrust down through Bulgaria to Salonika. (Heavy eastward _ movement of Nazi troops was reported by observers in Bucharest and from Sofia came a story that Bulgaria was lined up on the Axis side, having been promised a corridor to the sea and other territorial concessions.) Staying Out Just Now TURKEY: In a longâ€"awaited adâ€" dress to the Turkish parliament, Fresident Ismet Inonu clarified his country‘s policy. He informâ€" ed the world that Turkey would not enter the war now, but was studying the situation in the Mediterrarean â€" in â€" collaboration with Great Britain, her ally; but reâ€"iterated that Turkey would fight instantly if attacked. The key to Turkey‘s decision appeared to competent observers to lie in the president‘s statement that Turkey‘s relations with Soviet Russia "are now taking a friendly turn‘" after "passing through a critical stage". Apparently Mosâ€" cow had been advising him. Japan and Russia sessions were available now that Greece was in the war and Briâ€" tain was in there with fullâ€"armed assistance. Everybody knew that Italian civil morale was very poor â€"perhaps Italy could be detached from the Axis if not put out of business <altogether? GREECE: The Italian camâ€" paign was in danger of fading out completely. _ Mussolini was rushing _ strong _ reinforcements into the battle, desperately trying the Soviet forces; that Hitler was planning to send an ultimatum to Turkey; that in Albania revolt against the Italians was general. In each of these there was a grain of truth, but how large a grain, time alone would tell. The "Weak Sister" One thing was certain â€" that Britain had decided to strike hard at Italy, the "weak sister" of the Axis, by means of both air and naval action. Excellent bases for attacks on Italy and her poâ€" Flint heads for arrows used in shooting birds, pieces of potâ€" tery mide of baked clay, and several sharpâ€"edged stones beâ€" lieved to have been used for skinning game and cleaning hides, were all found in the loâ€" cality.

FAR EAST: Indications inâ€" creased last week that the Japsâ€" nese Army was shortening its lines drastically by withdrawirg from â€" several occupied _ zones, especially in South and Central China. As the Japs successively abandoned _ Kwangsi _ Province; the island naval base of Waichow; posts on the Yangtse River, the Chinese were full of high hope. Their chances for victory in the threeâ€"andâ€"oneâ€"halfâ€"year undeclarâ€" ed war with Japan had never been better. Whither Next, Japan? But to the United States and Britain, these Japanese withdrawâ€" als presented a new headache. What was Japan up to? Was Singapore the next objective, or the Dutch East Indies?
