Christmas Seal Campaign

The Tuberculosis Seal sales, which have been an annual [ire-Christmas event since 1931, have grown larger each year, but so too have the number of tutpaticnts needing super- vision. Even \\'lu'1| the peak of this upward trend il reached thcrc will still be need of ever- growing Christmas Seal stiles. The seals this year are of especially attractive design and are ideal for the t111l)L‘lil5lll11L‘l1l of parcels, cards and letters. 'l'he sales campaign starts this week, and the enthusiasm evidenced at the largely zittentlcti public tnectitig last evening is a good auguryt fir 1's success.

Thcrc arc nittny calls on O1l€'S pocket book it this time. but utmc more urgent or deserving than this tippt-al for assistance in fighting tuber- culosis. The nit-thud of contribution permits evcrv one to participate in the campaign ac- cording to their nicatis. As emphasized in that excellent pttblicxitioti, Tltr lrlurtd Crusader, there are 501111: four httndrctl tuberculosis patients faced ititlt thc problctit of "tztltiitg the cure" in :heir ltotttcs in this Province. \\'ithout the revenue supplied by the Seal Sale the work of stipervisiitg thc care of these rtatients would be grt-ztily curt.'tilt-.l_ l1 is ltopetl thcrcforc that thc rc-portse, 11s on other occasions, will be prontpt and gencrotts,

New high levels for railway traffic are anticipntwl if thc war continues for some time, and in this connection it is reassur- ing to learn, or. Mr. Fairweatltens authority, that the railways are well equipped to cope with such conditions. The control of transportation. he entphndzcd, is handled by democratic methods which are in sharp contrast to the bureaucratic methods of the dictatorships.

Potato Crop Estimates

According to figures released by the Domin- ion Bureau of Statistics, the potato crop in Caitada is the shortest since 1910. Production in October was estimated at 38,875,000 hundred- weight and the Nove-mber production estimate shoxvs that there has been a decline of 3,555,- 000 hundrcdweight and the (la-crease was con- fined mostly to Utitttrio and Quebec where the harvest season is slightly later titan in the Mari- time Provinces.

In the Maritime Provinces there was an ag- gregate increase in estimate over October with the increase set at 579,000 hundredweight. All of the Maritime Provinces showed increases with the estimated production in October set at 4,937,000 ltundredivcight and the November estimation set at 5,030,000 hundredweight.

Of the three Maritime Provinces New Bruns- wick shows the largest number of acres in pro- duction and also the largest estimated produc- tion. Princc Fdtvard Island shows an increase of planting this past season over 1038 and also an increase- in protltution. In 1038, in Prince Iidtvzirrl l>lrttvll there wnt- plantctl 24.000 acres with th¢ fitwaflttlflitlll ,\(‘l at 4.070.000 hundred- weight and this vcnr there was pltttitetl 37,000 acrcs and thr vstitttntcd production has been set at 4.440900 huh-lmhvcigltt. Nova Scotia pro- duction this _\".'ll’ is \lin\\1l as 2,033,000 httndrcd- Weight.

It is thought to be rather strange that under the revised regulations Canada's great winter port for ordinary commerce (Halifax is pre- dominantly a port 0f war), Saint john, and the St. Lawrence ports should be freed from all disabilities. The illogicality of regarding the gulf coast and nearly all of Nova Scotia (and all of Prince Edward Island) as belligerent, and yet exempting the ports of Montreal and Que- bec, which can only be reached by passing through these waters, will not be mentioned by Ottawa. Official opinion there welcomes the revised regulations as a. calculated indiscretion to help this country.

tury and a half ago. The source material is

unique, as probably no other day-book 0f a

country merchant of the same period on the Island is extant today. The compiler has en- riched his analysis of the accounts with much out-of-the-itray information. The result is a rcal contribution t0 Island pioneer history.

The officer testified he had foun-l (lutiablc articles in l"urbt-rt's hclongitigs which he said Ifurbcrt had not declared. Ilc said Fur- bert told him he thought he could bring iti $100 worth free. When the customs officer said Fur- bert should know the regulations, he testified, Fttrbert told him hc was only a new ntcitilrer “and 1181f th€ time I don't know what they're doing up there.” ' n- u a a The Prime Minister in a letter to the Chris- tion Social Council of Canada assured the coun- cil of the sympathy and support of the Canadian Government for the council's efforts to protect Canadian citizens of German origin in their civil rights. “Canada is today engaged in a struggle for freedom,” he \vrotc_ “By freedom we mean. above all else, the right of ordinary men and wo- men, so long as they respect the freedom 0f 0th- ers, to live their lives in their own way without the fear of oppression or the menace of tyranny. The persecution of our fellow-Canadians, or, in- deed, any discrimination against them, because of their German blood or German speech would be a betrayal of the very cause we are fighting to uphold. It would be a threat to the unity in freedom which is the most precious quality 0t the Canadian people." u u a n-

According to I-lerr Otto Strasscr, s former Nazi chief, now hunted by Hitler, the Munich HCpIOSIOH in the Buergerbrau beer hall just after the Chancellor had finished speaking was the work of the Gestapo, and a German revolt against Nazism will probably break out in the FPYmK Qf I940. Strasser, now in Paris, does not credit reports of an impending revolutionary outbreak in Germany. “It wrill take time f0} that," be said. “IIigher officers of the Reichs- wehr are too subservient to Hitler to take part. Rut the Nazis have many enemies among the colonels, maiors and subordinate officers. For a revolt to be successful in the Reich, three things wtill be needed. First, Germans who still believe in Hitler must feel the horrors of war: second, the Reich must suffer its first military FPYEFSPS. and, finally privalions in the country must become more acute. All these things can happen by the spring of i040. Hitlerism will perish throttgh internal revolt."
