ii

The King George V BllverJubilee Cancer Pillild. One letter contain- ing $1, the minimum amount ask-

uere is the foundry and engineerlnl works of Messrs Bruce Stewart and Do. Ltd. During the past year this firm distributed in wages no less than $39,100.45. the works being in operation all the year round with the exception of a few weeks fol- lowing thc Christmas holidays when necessary adjustments to plant and repairs were being carried out. Not- withstanding the dull times else- where, Bruce Stewart's were able to finish the year with a small pmfihand with $12,000 of contracts booked for the current year. This firm is of outstanding value and advantage to the Province, as it is our mainstay and insurance against breakdown in other crganizlions, such as the water works and elec- tric system. It is noteworthy that this is the Silver Jubilee of Bruce Stewart and Co., it having been organized by the late Bruce Stewart and Mr. Andrew MaoNair in the year King George V ascend- ed the throne. The wish of all will be that the business will continue to prosper, and in the next twenty five years double or triple its out- put and employees.

MILK

CONTROL

According to press despatches the operations of the Ontario Milk Control Board which has been ac- tive for less than ‘a year, has re- sulted in the farmers of Ontario benefltting to the extent of $2,500,- coo in actual cash. At any rate this is the estimate given in the annual report oi the Board of Agriculture tabled in the legislature.

During the year, it was stated, meetings were held in practically all important milk rne-rkets in the province.

Officials conducted an audit of the milk distributors in the prin- cipal markets of the province, and

The chartered banks of Canada have agreed to waive charges on cheques sent for the fund. All monies received by Lady Bessbcr- ough are sent to the bank for de- posit with the following endcrsa- tion: "For deposit to thc credit of Her Excellency the Countess oi Bessborough, in trust for ‘King George v Silver Jubilee Cancer Fund for Canada."

Cancer, even in its advanced stages, is an arrestablc disease, Dr. Charla A. Dukes, oi Oakland, presi- dent of the American College oi Surgeons states in a. bulletin just issued. Dr. Duke; says, however, there arc but three reliable ways to treat the malignant disease-by X-ray, by radium or by the sur- gical knife.

"There are no secret cancer cures, no aerums nor injections of value," he adds.

"Cancer is a disease, personal to the individual who has it, and can- not be transmitted in any known way to another person," Dr. Dukes says.

“Even if you have neglected treat- ment until the disease is well ed- vanced, still it may be arrested. More than 1,000 advanced oases, in one clinic, were treated during the past three years, and definite ar- restment was reported in more than 800 cases.

"In the early stages, the cure of cancer rests largely with the indi- vidual. Prompt and adequate aur- gicai attention is the very best in- surance for the cures and against the spread of the disease.“

In view of this, the Fund so nobly conceived as a Royal Jubilee commemoration should command universal support.

Notes By The Way

' Speed-limit legislation may or may not be supplemented by other compulsions, but of itself it entire- ly overlooks that the avoidance oi collision depends eawntlally and

orderly behaviour on the roads by all vehicles and all pedestrians which will result from a. particular and imPOIts-llt habit. That is the habit of revealing continuously, not ermsmodically, to all near-by ‘ tended movement-always and in all plac-

and now exists on the sea, in the air, on the railways-evcrywhere where moving, self-willed entities travel. The only exception is the road. Hence the crashes.

There was one man who. though it is probable that in the fashioning oi his own plans he had neither Sollsht nor had any recent contact with the S. A. loaders, was by his whole history and tradition a pos- sible point oi crystallisation for S. A. opposition; a man, moreover, who still had a. serious following in the Reichswehr: a man who alone could become the bridge between 8A. the Catholics, and the former ‘Prado Unionists. That man was Schlelcher. So Schleicher must dis- appear too. And with him those who worked around and with him as far as they were accessible. That is the real significance of the blood bath of June 30.

Each year the importance of the schools bulks larger in the life of the boys and girls. The Canadian child of today spends more than night years of his life in school, whereas his parents spent less than six. His school life is about half as long again as theirs and on the day he starts to school he may ex- PWF W Spend there about one-sixth of the remaining years of his life. —‘1\eachers' Bulletin. ' '

Greece is one of those countries that seems to delight in faction fights unless the whole land is thrffB-tened by a common danger. The ancient city states were con- stantly at war with one another, and if Homer gives anything like a true picture of- the heroic age, it was the same then. Absorbed by Rome, overrun by the barbarians. subjugated by the Turks, in fact under foreign domination for many centuries. the Greeks reached free- dom with British help, their genius ior civil war unabated. During the past seventeen years they turned out a king-or rather the Allies did it for them-in favor of another, called the first back. ousted him again. installed a. third for six months. set up a republic, establish- ed a dictatorship, again returned to a. republic, tried a. coalition of all parties except Communists, went back to party rule under Venizelos and his Liberal; who were soon up- set by the Conservatives, against whom there is now ... revolt. Sel- dom have these changes been ef- fected without blood-letting. Greek is constantly meeting Greek.

All the worst features of the ad- ministration of criminal justice in the United. States arc being repro- duced in an aggravated form in the spectacular trial at Flemington of the man charged with the mur- der of the Lindbergh baby. There seems, however, to have been one

"While owing to world conditions," it says, "Mr. Bennett's success has not been so great u we could all wish." yet, it argues, "he has this gratification that Canada has made greater pro- gress in that direction than any other country in the world. as at- tested by figures released some time ago by tha league of nations at Geneva.

As we see the fair or red hair, the blue or brown eyes, the tall or short stature, the quiet or stormy dis- position of the parent handed down to the child, we cannot but feel that heredity has a great deal _to do with the way we live our lives.

And yet welfare workers, physic- ians dealing with “nervous" pat- ients, research workers on mental subjects tell us, from their vast ex- perience, that environment — cir- cumstanoes, opportunities or lack oi them, home, business, school - all have much to do with the way we live our lives.

It would appear however that as humans we have been overlooking‘ processes that are going on with!!! us that have nothing to do with heredity. Dr. G. H. Parker, pro- fessor of physiology at Harvard re- ports that a. chemical substance is produced in fishes which changes their color to that oi their surround- ings, and that this chemical sub-- stancc is produced by thc nerves, and not by the will of the fish to change its color. In other words something oi which the fish-is not conscious enables it to change its color. Thus the fish is not likely to be seen by an enemy that might at- tack it, or by some smaller animal that it wishes to secure for food. Speaking further about this "un- conscious" power oi animals, Dr. Wm. A. White, superintendent of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington, says. “Man has unplumbed-un- known or unmeasured-possibilities that will enable him to adjust him- self to any eventualities and will make possible all the progress that is latent-existing but unsolved — in the present discoveries o; science. While there are some difficulties he- twecn the rnces of mankind they are Very Sim-ll. and will be swept away as all these new discoveries are made use of by mankind generally." And it is our unconscious mind, our organ of vast unused possibilities, in which these developments for man's progress are going on,

The thought then is’ that while heredity is important. nevertheless it has equipped us only to meet what our forefathers have met in life. But within us are possibilities of which we are unconscious that will enabfe us to meet and make use of all the new discoveries cf science. Surely, no matter what our rel - ion, we can look confidently into e future, knowing that there is a "friendly forci!" within us or watch- ing our llvcs.

Higher University ' Standards

i (Winnipeg ‘tribunal »

Beginning next year, eximination of students at the University of Manitoba will be conducted under amentlrely new system. One ex- amination on the work of both terms will be held in April. and the Christmas examination will be held simply as a of defor- mining the progreu made by stu- dentl. .

The - maximum mark for the Christmas will be 35, while the maarimuru for the April examin- ation. which is to be the determin- ing one‘, will be 66. The student's mark for the Christmas test will be added to the mark of the April examination to determine the final standing. 1n the April examination the student will be hold’ responsible for the‘ work of both terms.

The new system, according to university officials, is a step to- ward the single examination ayfl- tem, inwbich examinations are held only at the end of each year. This differs considerably from the system current in many United States universities and colleges where there are either two or three forms in the year and atu- dents are examined at the end of each term. It is an approach to the practice in British universities, where honor students are custom- arily examined only once at the conclusion of a three years’ course. BothAmerican and British aya- tems have their advantages and disadvantages. It is easier to retain knowledge in ona's head for a short than a long period. If the defin- ition of a university's purpose is accepted as the extension of cul- ture to the greatest number, than the American system has definite merit. But if the object is to raise the standard of scholarship-a process that naturally results in weeding out poorer students-the British system is more effective. The new system at ‘toba is

standard of scholarship. It is in the nature of an experiment. Uni- versity officials see no reason, howevw, why it should not suc- coed and the probability is that it will be retained for some time, if not extended. ,

The Mechanical Eskimo

(Manitoba Free Press) Penetrative communication has brought about a change in the habit of thinkinil of the North- Wst Territories only in terms of forbidding space. Distance in its modern equivalent of time has been bridged by the am ,.‘ an audible intercourse has been ai- forded by the radio. The vastness remains. but those resident within it are not isolated as they were shortly ago, and those outside "ln civi- are being taught to be less ignorant of its people's char- acteristics and its physical features. The area of 1,530,000 square miles is nearly one third of the entire area of the Dominion, but it is not any longer the impenetrable hinterland most commonly associated in- men's minds with the Bad Lands. It's 14.- 000 ‘“ ‘ are "“ o ‘ nor sub-normal. The outsiders go- ing far up into the North have been lifting corners of the veil that has concealed its features and have been probing unlmagined qualities in the brains of the Ebkimos. They have been what has been hidden in the expanse thought to be destitute because said to be barren. They have, in a rough and ready way, been following the course taken by the Soviet I-‘wssians in their scientific attack on Arctic regions which have transform- ed into a systema iaed scientific la- boratory. The diacovenies due toboth efforts are of iiroalculable signific- ance. but none is more. ifiieresting, and none possibly more surprising, than is the revelation of the quality of the mind of the Ibkimo. The Eskimos may be primitive, but their mental characteristics are testified to by Major D. L. McKnead of the Department cf the Interior. In the little we have known of these people, we have, perhaps, sought least to gain an insight into their mentality. We have been content to minimize. and oven ignore. an ability we had neither perceived nor admit‘ ‘. But the Eskimo may be pecularily endowed. for Major Mc- Knead us
