atchewan. There is a romance and a magic about the sea which appeals strongly to inland peoples, and the urge which moves races and nations everywhere to seek an outlet on salt water was something ingrained in the fibre of humanity long before the stern commercial age in which we live. Man longs to look upon the sea because the sea haunts him as well as because he finds it useful in

his bilsiness. But there is another reason why

the two westerly prairie provinces have theirleyes turned northward. From their incePtliln m 1995RUWY have never had control of their nat- ural resources. The wealth of the

provinces in lands/minerals, timber and water power have been admin-

istered by the Dominion and Alberta. and Saskatchewan have received in lieu an annual sum from the Domin- ion treasury. At the same time. some of the provinces, notably On- tario and Quebec, which have had their resources in their own hands, have reaped large returns from them.

It is well known that the mines which’ have proven most productive in Ontario and Quebec practically all lie within the area covered by the great pro-Cambrian shield. This shield of ancient rock lies across Northern Ontario and Quebec, and‘ extends westward between Lake Sup- erior ancl Hudson Bay, swinging northward, then, until its westerly edge touches the Arctic somewhere in the neighborhood of the Mackenzie delta. The direction it takes makes it certain that in the almost unex- plored northern country to which Alberta and Saskatchewan arc lay- ing claim, there are valuable depos- its of the precious and useful min- erals.“ -

In giving Alberta and Saskatche- wan the privileges of an 051519!‘ i0 the sea and making them “maritime,” it must not be forgotten that the three provinces by the Atlantic, own- ed their share of the pro-Cambrian shield as well as the then undevelop- ed provinces in the West. We have as yet received no consideration for our claims to these newly acquired lands and minerals, and the distribu- tion will not be rutismcwrv until ii is made fair and equitable.

Notes By The Way

“Britain's Young Mun of Destiny.” is the headline of an. article in the New York Times by Sir Philip Gibbs, and the reader will naturally con- lecture that the young man in ques- tionis the Prince of Wales. We are told at the outset that the young man has been adopted by the world as the Prince of Youth. When he was recalled from Africa. by the King's illness the American people gave him first place in the day's news. The Germans called him "the Prince" as familiarly as though he belonged to them and they speak of him with affectionate admiration. It is the same in France.

He has the reputation of being a. phllanderer, quick to spot a pretty girl, but “boys will be boys." People have heard tales about his wilfulness, but they like it. A mod- em Prince Hal, says the world, who will have to turn his hack‘ on boon companions and frivolous delights and steady down to kingship. "Don't grudge him a good time while he can get‘ it," says the man in the street.

Sir Philip tells of seeing the Prince at the time when his father was pro- claimed King by the heralds at St. James Palace A small boy then, called David by his family, he stood watching the ceremony over the gar- den wall "of Marlborough House. Did he understand, as he stood there. wide-eyed and wondering, that one day the trumpets would sound again for him and that heralds would pro- claim him in his turn King of_ Great Britain, Ireland, the Dominions be- yond the Seas, Emperor of India, De- fender of the Faith?

Sir Philip tells of seeing him again when he was invested at Camarvon Castle as Prince of Wales. In the hot sun blazing down between castle walls where 100,000 people waited for his coming, he appeared like a fig- uro from, an old fairy tale, dresed like a medieval prince 1h white silk embroidered with gold. He was very shy and solemn that day and had none of his future jauntiness.

The war developed his character. He was out in France early as a "pup" lieutenant and was rather at a. loose end before he served with the Welsh Guards. Nobody both- ered about him much. He saluted Generals and Colonels as respectful- ly as any young officer. He was unrecognized except by a few of us when he rode on a. push bike along the roads __of war, crowded with guns and transport and marching troops.

He went up to the front under shell fire, through the ruins of towns still straped by enemy guns. At Vemel- les one day he left his car behind a broken wall‘ and went to the front line. When he came back he found his driver with his head blown off. It was not the only time he missed the sameifate by a yard or so. One morning toward the ‘end when. thrones were toppling in Europe and kings going into exile, he came down to the Guards’ mess and announced in a cheery voice, "Crowns are cheap today, gentlemen."

The English people old and young have a romantic love for the Prince. They are not only afraid that he may break his neck, but some are afraid he may break his heart or his spirit. They suspect that he has given his heart to some lady whom he cannot marry for reasons of State or social rank. They are anxious lest when the crown is placed on his head they may find that he turns suddenly in- to a. careworn man.

Personally Sir Philip Gibbs believes that when the Prince becomes King he will prove himself a gentleman of the old tradition, courageous, keen, simple,‘ a lover of England, a friend of all good fellows in the world. As the world's favorite he has an inter- national inﬂuence which he can use for conciliation and peace. He may play a great game for England and the younger generation everywhere as King, a good sportsman, and a man unafraid.

March has come. It was consid- cred the first month of the (lid Ro- man year and so remained until the change of style in i722. An old pro- verb tellsthat u March comes in like a. lion it will go out like a lamb. It is about as reliable as the traditions ‘concerning Candlemas Day and the beam or grpund-hogs looking for their shadows. Sometimes these fore- casts auc fulfilled, but not always.

In the Sluice-Will Rogers, writing of Al. Smith, the defeated Presiden- tial candidate, says: "This country is dry. If you think wet watch ‘em vote. When they vote it's counted, but when they drink it aifrt. If you could register the voter's breath in- stead of his ballot, it would be dif- ferent." '

B] lama W. Balfour MD. ABE YOU FIT 0B JUST SOUNDI

The candidate had just been exam- ined for life insurance. Thepollcy was for a. large sum and the exam- ination was quite searching.

At the close of the examination he quite frankly asked the doctor if he had passed him as “flt."

The doctor replied that he was re- commending him for the policy and he would obtain iv. all right, because he was "sound." ii " ‘ ~ really wasn't‘ “fit."

Why?

Well you have a number of things that do not prevent you from being sound, but do prevent you from being fit.

In the first place your lungs are not large enough for your body. You have been so busy all your life that you haven't played much. The candidate admitted this to be the case.

Then your right calf is about 1 1-2 inches larger than your left, due to some varicose veins. If you get a. blow on that calf you may develop a varicose ulcer. You are wearing a tight garter that should be remov- ed at once. ' '

Your liver and intestine are slug- gish and this no doubt gives you headaches at times. The candidate admitted the headaches. .

You are nearly thirty pounds ov weight.

He was advised to walk to and from his office daily, put right leg upon chair when he sat down at his desk, was given four minutes abdom- inal exercises to be done night and morning, and was advised to out down his liquids and starches.

He returned two months later and the examination showed a lung cap- acity of 25 cubic inches larger, two inches off abdomen, the right calf a half inch smaller, and there was a loss of twelve pounds in weight.

His remark was "I know now the difference between being sound and being fit."

The thought then is to see your family physician and make sure ‘you are sound. .

That in itself is worth much to your peace of mind.

Then get busy to do with that body of yours what you know it needs. Only the three points to watch, food. rest. and exercise.

As Dr. J. W. Preston of Roanoke says “The time is rapidly approach- ing when the difference between “fail” health and "buoyant" health will be more appreciated.

Schoolgirl Howlers

(P. C. Y. in January, ounces”)

There isastory ofasmullboy who. having been beaten in a. prize contest by what an uncle called a "more girl," retortcd. that girls were not so “mere" nowadays. ‘Ihat smell boy was right. They are not so mere.

In the last January number of "Ovcraeuftherc appeared an article on Schoolboy Howlers. in which the writer expressed surprise that boys appeared to hold a complete monop- oly of the gentle art of “howling? The response to this appeal was gen- erous and noteworthy, and all who make a pet of the equality of the sexes will learn "with the utmost satisfaction," as they say in Sussex, that the modern schoolgirl is no whit the inferior of her brother, for, like him, she can, when the spirit moves her, display an almost supernatural imbecllity.

As with her brother, the school- girl's achievments emerge largely from historical, biblical and literary subjects, and from translations of the dead and living languages, but. the field being limitless, "general knowledge" yields tho most plenti- ful, and, perhaps, the mt precious harvest. Zoology has produced noth- ing o'f note, unless "Solomon's in- numerable porcupines" can be class- ified under that head; while as for geography, only one specimen is to hand, and that would highly aston- ish President-elect Hoover-"The whole world, . except the United States, lies in the temperance zone."

In the realm of history the ad- monition "no scandal about Queen Eliznbet " is shamelessly ignored in several instances, for we learn that "Elixabeth kept foreign princes in suspense while she was playing with their hands," and "Queen Elizabeth rode through Coventry with nothing on, and Raleigh offered her his cloak," while to the question "What King came after Queen Elizabeth?" an alert young thing replied, "Philip of Spain, but she turned film down." The Elizabeth-Raleigh cloak epis- ode has also inspired a. wonderful jumble of the two royal mottoes: “One day Queen Elizabeth was out for c. walk and came to a place where it was very muddy. Sir Wal- ter Raleigh flung down his cloak for her to step on. The Queen smiled and said: ‘I am afraid you have spoiled your clock, sir,‘ to which Sir Walter replied: ‘I-Ioni soit qui mal y pence,’ which means in Eng- lish ‘God and your right.’ "

Turning to Elizabeth's parents, we find that Henry VIII. accused Anne Boleyn of being "immortal," and the barbarous rigors of a more perocious age than ours are indicated in "Hen- ry VIII. was very cruel to Anne Boleyn and ironed her" (textbook: pressed‘ his suit on her.)

Old Noll and his Latin secretary come under scrutiny in "Oliver Cromwell, surnamed Commonwealth, was the only son of a brewery, but in time of war hs was a brave and

of tho Roses," and in the delightfully ironical “In 1651 Milton married this third wife and Paradise Lost was completed."

In veiw of the recent exiention of the franchise to women of 21, the two following are worthy of notice "The Mad Parliament wassummon- ed by Simon dc Monfort, and per- sish to the present day." and “all people over 2i years, provided they are insane, may enter Parliament." So much for the Mother of Parliam- ents. A rather disquieting state of affairs is revealed, too, in "O. M. means ‘on the make,’ and lots of politicians get these letters."

other historical items include "The South Sea Bubble was a. scream for lending money to the Royom- ment," "Wat ‘Tyler was killed by Woolworth," "In the eighteenth cen- tury travelling was very romantic; moat of the high roads were only bridal paths," Habeas corpus NM‘! to the Great Plague and means ‘bring out your decd;"' Wolsey saved his life by dying on the way from York to London" (this by l“ Irish girl); in John's reign 13118181"! was placed under an Intel-dict, and no births, deaths or marriozcs were permitted."

In reply to a question: "What did the Israelites do after crossing the Red Sea?" A bright lass WWW "They dried themselves," an admir- able example of nought set down in superfluity.

In BellesLettres the schoolgirl dom not appear to have distinguished herself unduly, though admirers of the Bard of Avon may perhaps ad- mire hlm a little less whenthey know that "Shakespeare lived at Windsor with his merry wives." Af- ter that no one will be SllTpIl-Sed to learn that "Polonius was c. mythical sausage," while many a damsel seeking to acquire the fashionable figure will sympathize with:

"One more unfortunate

“A Soviet is what some people call a napkin," “Transparent means something you can see through, for instnace a keyhole," a passive verb is when the subject is the sufferer. as ‘I am loved."’ "Gravity tells why an apple does not go to heaven," "A syllable is that which can be pro- nounced with one sweep of the tongue." This last suggests an idea. for another of those prostrating in- door games so often thrust upon us by charming hostesses-a prize for the one who enunciates the best syllable with the most elegant sweep of the tongue. ~

Here are a couple of plain ques- tions with plain answers: Q. What do you understand by suffering for righteousness? A. Having to go to Sunday school. Q. What is s. her- baceous border? A. A herbaceous boarder is one who will not eat meat. . ' Among other useful pieces of “general knowledge," we loam that “Pr. 1.141 a a .. in, “v taken by people in charge of men- ageries," that "Algebraical symbols are used when you don't know what you are talking about," that "Marcus Aurelius lived in a palace amid temptations and other luxuries," that "All of Achilles was invaluable except his heel," that The sun never sets on the British Ilhnpiro because the British Empire is in the east, and the sun sets in the west," while there ls “unbounded courage and compassion jointed" in the declar- ation that “capital punishment should be abolished so as to give the murderer another chance."

Occasionally one encounters the foible of veiling knowledge under an ‘engaging assumption of ignorance, as. for hxample, "the affix ‘ous’ means ‘full of’ ad joyous, full of joy; gracious, full of grace; venom- ous full of venom; plus, full of pic, jealous, full of Jelly." As the sender of this example remarks, "I can not help thinking that the young lady who was guilty of this was not nervous but full of nerve."

In conclusion must be recorded the only female paraphrase to hand: Q- "As IIIUI uuiental bronze, un- changed his look." A. "His face was like ornamental iron work."

Ono of the chief features of the picnic is the annual selection of a lady to be "lidiss Canada." Three qualifications are required She must be native-born; she must have beauty and be popular. About a dozen of girls from Western Canada contested for the honor, very few of them able to qualify. Not one from the Maritime Provinces entered the race, where a dozen could easily b9 found that would come up to the standard of beauty and personality.

By a majority vote of- those pres- ent Miss Zedna Farley, a young six- teen-year-old girl from Toronto was chosen, and is to be the reigning queen of the Dominion for 1929. The contact was as hot and exciting as a political election in Queens County. A register was taken of those pre- sent from each Province, giving name and town in which they were bom._ It is surpassing strange how many people are ashamed of their- birth- place, but register from some city near it. The duty of taking the re- gistration from the Provinces was assigned to me , and- possibly the names registered from Prince Edward Island would be as of much interest to your readers as anything I could give.

keep others out; afterwards they used all the inﬂuence they could com- mand to hold on to these position; without the necessity of Public ten- der, a.nd now they want to turn their positions into a life tenure at nearly double of the salary at present paid, In proof of this I am advised of the case'of a. certain mail courier whose salary is S600 a. year, and by some means he has held the job for the last ten years without public ten. der, while during that time and right now there are others who are willing to _go into public competition for the job on the ;600 basis. Now is the bill goes through I am informed that this man's salary will be more than doub- led, and at the public expense as it seems the job pays him as it is. I think the Postmaster General would be well advised to appoint boards of inquiry toIIook into tho matter at the various starting centres

carry mails other than the present couriers what the cost would be. Anyhow I do not think that every Job in the Dominion of Canada should be of life tenure. Surely the line should be drawn somewhere and where there are many men qualiﬁed that the chance should be passed around every four or ilve years. The new move is certainly unfair to this debt-ridden country when you get men to tell you that they arc willing to do the work for what uit present couriers are getting.
