SOME THINGS

m connection with the mlberlfl Ilcononllc Conference, the Deli!!!‘ mant of ‘Prado and Commerce has prepared a statement of interestini facts about Canada for submission to the delegates. some items are missing which very well could have been included.

Canada with an area of 3,690,043 square miles is the largest country within the empire and comprises 2'1 per cent of the empires total area of 13,491,997 square miles.

Canada leads the world 1n the production of newsprint, nickel and asbestos; holds second place 1n the

The direction which this 1n- creased trade may take is indicat- ed in the following extracts from m. Johnson's article:

Cattle-The resumption of the Canadian cattle trade with Scotland m 1081 resulted in shipment-H 0! 5,904 head of store or stacker cattle and fats. Scotland ls the best mar- ket in the United Kingdom for store cattle for conditioning in the pas- ture. and the trade is likely to 810W

production of gold. platinum metals and cobalt; third in the production of zinc and silver and fourth 1n the production of copper, wheat, auto- mobiles and lead.

Canada leads the world in the ex- port of wheat. newsprint, nickel and asbéstos; holds third place lfi the export of wheat flour; fourth place in the export of automobiles and wood pulp and fifth place in the ex- port of rubber tires. She ranks high also in the export of a wide variety of other products.

Canada stands seventh among the trading nations of the world. and only second to Great Britain among empire countries.

Canada trades with over 100 dif- ferent countries of which over 32 are within the British Empire,

Canada has provided approximate- ly one third of the total supply of world wheat entering into lntemat- tonal. trade during the last two months.

Czanada stands second in per cap- ita consumption of developed hydro power. l

unless the American market proves more profitable through a lowering of tariff barriers or for other reas- ons. Early 1n ghe season of 1932 the trade was held up through a lack of transportation facilities, but the Department of Trade and Com- merce eventually made the necu- ssry arrangements in co-operatlon with the shipping companies. ‘Iwo excellent shipments have reached Glasgow from Montreal during the present season, and on the whole good prices have been realised

Hay-The low market prices in 193i prevented extensive imports of hay from Canada, especially as the Scottish crop was particularly good. Usually there is a constant demand for No. 2 timothy from Canada, as it is superior to anything grown 1n Britain. Prices, however, must not be too high, and only the best quali- ties should be shipped, otherwise it is compet‘ _ unsuccessfully with equally good Scottish hay. The large carry-over from the abundant Scottish crop of 1931 hangs over the

Anybody, says the Brandon Sun, can sell even a dead horse in flush times. No effort is required to write orders with the tide flowing in But when business is dull and faces are long, that is the time to administer a tonic. When the money that makes the mare go begins to wobble, that is the time to use the spur. The qultter never built up big business. He never ac- quired a monument. He never writes his name on the page of history—nor on the financial page '—just on the "funny page!"

A wrist bone dug up in China from a geological formation esti- mated to be 1,000,000 years old is exciting scientists. Examination of the bone produces the belief that its owner must have had a human hand enabling its possessor to live a life far higher than that of the lower animals. Of all the members of the body the hand is the most important in giving to the human race its distinction. Mankind is weak compared with many other creatures. They can lift more and movo more rapidly and for a long- er period, but they cannot approach the accomplishments of the eight fingers and the two thumbs. As hands were used by our first hu- man ancestors brains were deve- loped to keep pace with what the hands couldl do. So was civilization built upon this planet, hand and brain working together.

Why ls the Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George called that, when his fath- er's surname was George and his brother boasts the name William George? Well, many people have wondered, and, as in most myster- ies, there is an explanation. His mother's family name was Lloyd, and Britain's wartime Premier

TREATING THE RIGID PERSONALITY ,

About the only difference be- tween some of us who are outside a mental institution and many of the patients inside is that we are able to get along with other people. We may not like some of their ways, and other people may dislike cer- tain things about us, but neverthe- less we give and take, do our part, and expect other people to do theirs. ‘

This is the reason that specialists in mental ailments, psychiatrists as they are called, do all ln their power to have these mental pat- ients become more sociable in their disposition, more willing to mix with other people.

Dr. W. Muncie, Baltimore, refers to the ‘rigid’ personality encounter- ed in this kind of work.

It is a. combination of many fac- tors, such as obstinacy, aggressive- ness, pride, and a rigid code of per- sonal ethics whereby they actually make themselves do or live up to, certain definite rules o1’ life.

In a general way these are good or valuable qualities, but they are like a two edged sword, and many 0f the difficulties that beset the patient and render him difficult to live with, and make it difficult for him to live with others, are direct- ly due to these good or valuable qualities.

Rigid personality habits thus often hinder the recovery of the patient.

If an individual is obstinate, proud, aggressive, ‘lives a straight- forward llte, has his share of brain power, you can easily understand why he thinks his ideas, and his method of living must be correct ones and that the rest of the world ls simply ‘out of step’, and needs correction instead of him.

As you know we all need a cer- tain amount of elasticity in our natures; we must admit that we are not always right, that the

And surely his work has a certain shad y loveliness quite its own-as of a stream in a flat unfertile re. gicn, shading its way with foliage, and never stagnant, having a cur- rent always toward the sea. His melanchloy, I think, 1s mainly that of poetry herself in a locale where the flow of verse can not yet be beautifully strong . . . He cultivat- ed the homel, romance of New England's saiilnk ships and country- aldcs and birds of passage, and could catch the quaint humors of her re llgionists and sea-captains: eve while iterpreting for her, exquisitely the moods oi’ old artists and old lovely cities beyond the sea.

No other poet has a style at once so homely and so cultivated. No othe‘ style has the peculiar quiet gleaming of his whenever it touches a shadow. His verse is the mild rain that some- times goes over an austere New England landscape in autumn, o the south wind looking for spring and turning into swaying mists along the hard coast. Regarded thus 1n it: whole ‘mood, his style is not a for- eign importation.
