Notes by the Way

A Happy New Year to all our readers! Happiness, like the Kingdom of Heaven must be from within. No ostentatious display can conceal the inward unhappiness which lurks like a canker behind wrong doing or neglected duty, the unpaid bill. tho witholding 0f charity, the unklndly treatment of a, neighbor or of the deserving poor will persist and bc- cloud every attempt .at happiness. The foundation of real happiness, whether at the beginning or the end of the year is love of our fellowmcn. The familiar story of Abou Bert Adhem well illustrates this prin- ciple. As the story goes Abou awoke one night‘ from a (leep dream of peace, he saw an Angel writing in his room and asked him "What; wrltest thou“? The Ankcl answered: "The names of those who love thc Lord." Is mone one?“ asked Abou. "Nay" replied thc Angel. The answer did not worry Bcn Adhcin who said in effect "all right put inc down as one who loves his fellownicu." The Angel wrote and vanished. .110 ap- peared the next night and so the story tel‘; “Ben Adhenrs name lcd all thc rest. The only svay in which men can scrvc God is by serving their fcllowinen and this is the way to thc happiness which we wish to one an- other at the beginning of the New Year and which we wish to continue to our readers throughout thc year we arc entering upon.

According to the census recently published in U. S. the urban populo- tiou in that. country is 68,955,521, whilc the rural population is 53:119.- 525. This makes over 56 pcr cent of thc total population living in cities. The percentage of urban dweller.‘ ion years ago wits 5t per cent. Nor has Canada bccn much different from the United States. Herc. too, the movement has been to thc cities, and 110‘. zuways, one fears, with good results. It is one of the problems that challenge thc best cc- ouomic thought of our tlmc.

Some idea of the opportunity for Canadian farmers to develop thc cv- port trade in hot: and port!products is afforded by figures with i-cmivct f0 dead meat imports into Great Brit- ain as compiled from the British Board of Trade Returns. For thc first ten tnonths oi 1930 bacon imports reached a total of 7,414,020 out, val- ued at 1234922063, and of this vol- ume Canada supplied only 87,109 CWL, which had a value of £433,- 055, During thc some period im- ports of hams totalled 865,035 cwt., of which thc United Stntcs sup- plicd 715,352 cut. or more than ten tlmcs the 70,968 cwt. supplied by Canada. Incidentally, these nrc thc only two in n long list of dead meat import items in which Canadian contribution was sufficiently consid- erable to cite separately.

l t

For a number of years now l. have been trying to have my readers take stock of themselves at the beginning of each year. That as they take stock of their worldly goods, that as they make resolutions for the coming ycar, that they think more of their greatest. possession, their greatest asset, thcir health.

‘Therefore a visit to the family doctor, a visit that has been arrang- cr for some time previously, and a visit that should last an hour, is the first thought.

You are going to know at the end of an hour all that can be humanly known about your general condition -your eyesight. your hearing, your nose and throat, heart, lungs, kid- neys in fact every part.

Is this knowledge worth anything

If you are found to be in good physical condition 1t. should give you a buoyancy with which to meet all the affairs of life-domestic. busi- ness, recreational and so forth.

If something is found amiss thcn you are put in possession of know- ledge that will enable you to proper- ly safeguard your life by sane living. In thLs connection it is intensely in- teresting to recall the case of Dr. R. H. Babcock who died recently of a hcnrt condition in his cighticth ycar. 11c was for many years professor of chest diseases at the College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons, Chicago, and early in his medical career discov- crcd he had thc heart ailment which eventually,‘ caused his death. The lcnowlcdizc of thc ailment and how to live properly despite this ailment en- abled him to livc to such a rcal old ago.

Before you go to sec your doctor take a look inward at yourself from thc standpoint of how to mcet lhlnllb~lfli .'i()l‘1'O\\'I¢. worries, dis- appointmcnts~and scc if any of thcse things arc affecting your gen- eral health. affecting your work, your sleep, your appetite. Don't tell the doctor about your sleepless nights, your poor appetite, or your inability to concentrate on your work, without telling him about the "inside", the secret troubles or worries 1n your life. These emotional disturbances have a deﬁnite effect upon practically every organ of the body.‘

So sec your own family doctor and lct him examine you inside and out. It will start you off right; for thc ycar.

Solving The Wheat Problem

The announcement mad» by Pre- nler Bennett. at Regina on Tuesday rviuiitig with regard to the handling iffhe 1930 wheat crop will come as a villnt New Year's message to Lhﬂ bra-non! of Western Canada. A few ﬁr: ago the Prime Minister stated lsit this great; problem was in course lhsolution, The decision has been lien to create a private corporation n: which banks, transportation com. agiles. industrial concerns, insurance Hi1 mortgage companies will be ihdrcholdcrs. The corporation will Ade its capital as a revolving ktan fund from which money may be loaned to farmers to tide them over m? present bcriod of dl8l.1'&§. By this method the responsibility of ﬁn- ajcing the western farmers will be llflred and diminished by the great llaanclal organizations which partici- pEted in the profits of prosperous rs, and upon whom the burden pcrly falls of asssisting 1n thc sent. period of depression.

According to Sir James Jeans, famous British scientist, the universe in which we llvc is like a soap bub- blc and must go on swelling, a thing that it has been doing since it started. As this world-bubble has been in existence for some millions of years, it is to be trusted that it may go on expanding for some time yet before bursting out of its skin to the distress of the inhabitants on its aur- face.

Ah Adventurous Career

Manitoba. ncwispor-eis have been giving eictezrcive publicity to the retirement of Mr. Charles Hunt Firenoh from the position of fur trade commissioner of the Hudson's Bey Company, one report describ- 1:‘; him as a, living symbol of the

"Compainy of Adventurerq" The description is apt, for Mr. French has had an cxtraordtnary career.

He was born in Markham Town- ship, O.4t., not far from Toronto, in 1867. and as a boy learned fish- ing and sailing-on Lake Ontario. From then until early in his twenties he fished for a. living on ilhe rgiun Bay in summer and in the winter worked as prl.r.er's apprentice in Ortario towns. In 1885 the went West. where he “push- ed gravel under the ties of the C. 1". R. at Port Arthur." The follow- Ly; summer he sailed a boat out, of Selkirk for a firm of Lake Winnipeg fisherman. In '1887 he made his first connection with the Hudson's Bay Company, \\‘11€.! lie went up the lake on the steamer Beaver to takc treaty money to the Indians. After this he returned to Ontario and in 1893 went: to Chicago to visit i-hc Columbia Exposition. There lie saw the linotypc on ‘exhibition and ‘thought t-hat, the invention spoiled his chances in the printi 1g trade. Coming back to Toionto he went into the office of Truth, where hc had been employed. and seeing two liftotypes installed, he decided t0 apply for work with the Hudson's Bay Company. so he wrote asking for employment. In reply he receiv- ed an offc/r t) go to New Caledonia, on 1111;; Pacific roast, t; investigate a thieves‘ ring.

IIc broke up the ring and was appoint- ed post manager at Sabin, B. C. remaining tihere until 1901, when he was transferred to Victoria us a fur buyer, ‘Ilhcrc he remained until 1914. when he was named district manager for BTllo-‘Ill Columbia. In 1926 he was rewarded with the position of Chief "Factor, thc climax of his tarccr being reached t-hc some your with his appolnttncnt as fur trade commissioner. It _is from this high position that Mr. French has just. retireddnssuccess- or being Chief ‘Factor w. Ralph Parsons, who is well-known '11 Montreal, and also in Labrador and Tcirritorlcii.
