Latest From Miss Dennis, Litt, D.

For many years now Miss Clara. Dennis, Litt. D., has been the outstanding lady journalist and author in the Rlaritime Provinces. She has it in her blood, being the daughter of such dis- tinguished parents as the late Senator Dennis, Editor and Publisher of The Halifax Herald, and Dame Dennis, C.B,E., M.A., still happily with us. Miss Dennis has been a traveller at home and abroad, and being scientifically ob- servant made notes of her tours, descriptions and incidents of \\'lllCl1 she faithfully contri- buted to her father's paper in series of articles. Some time ago Miss Dennis greatly enhanced her reputation by the successive publication of "Down ln Nova Scotia" and “More About Nova Scotia." Now there has just been issued by the Ryerson Press, Toronto, “Cape Breton Over" ($3-50) from the same talented pen, a volume of 342 pages. It is ivortliy of its predecessors and is certain to have a large circulation among Nova Scotinns in general and Cape Bretonners in particular, not to mention the other Mari- timers who are clannish regarding support of home talent. It is fully illustrated with photo- graphs lZlhCfl bv the author, and has a foreword by the l~lon_ Angus L. Mzicdorinld, K.C., Min- ister of National Defence for Naval Services. The Miuistcr says: “Sons and daughters of Cape Breton whose lot is cast under other skies will read ‘Cape Breton Over’ with interest and with affectionate longing. For us nothing can really take the PlZICC of a visit to our own Island and our ain folk. But if our eyes are to be denied the beauties of our native glens, and if our ears are to hear less and less frequently the ac- cents of our people, we shall find in these pages an excellent substitute, the photographic re- production of tiiany of our most beautiful scenes, and the WflllCll impressions of an experienced traveller who has journeyed over every part of our Island, mid who has reported accurately and Sylllpﬂlllﬂllﬂilly what she has seen and felt."

This triliutc is ivcll dcscrved as a perusal of the unusually chatty and informative seventeen chapters will fully bear out.

Those who recall that the Ben- nett Government was defeated chiefly because of the opposition of the Big 111N105" l0 i" policies for social and economic improvement- policies which today are conceded to sbsoluto- ly necessary to post-war stability-will not be surprised at the stand taken by the Conserva- tive delegates at Winnipeg this week.

Finance Minister Ilsley has given a favour- able reply to a delegation from Halifax City Council asking a grant of $200,000 in lieu of taxes on Government property in that city. Since I939 Federal Government property in Halifax, non-taxable, has increased in value from $21,- 314,900 to $25,414,450, according to the brief presented by hlayo: Dongvan.

In Montreal they are determined to eliminate risks in munition plants through cigarette smoking. The next three months will be spent at hard labor in prison by Ernest Sherbcrt Hub- bell, 52-year-old laborer, who was convicted by judge Leoncc Cliche for having smoked in s Montreal district munitions plant of Defence Industries Limited. Mr. Hubbell is one of a number of warplant workers who have been sentenced on similar charges of violating De- fence of Canada. Regulations.‘

‘The executive of the Ontario Concentrated Milk Producers Association declared 10,000 On- tario farmers are dissatisfied because the Gov- eminent allegedly has not announced any de- cision on winter milk prices. Association Pre- sident Harry Scott of Norwich, Ontario, told an emergency meeting that the Prices Board has failed to answer association requests for in- formation on the possibility of paying a sub- sidy on concentrated milk products this winter. Failure to pay such a bonus, Mr. Scott assert- ed, might result in a milk shortage. Six general meetings have been held throughout Ontario to discuss the situation and IO more have been arranged for the next 10 days.

Sir Marc Isambard Bruiiel, inventor and civil engineer, died this date, 1849; born in Nor- mandy, was expelled during the French revolu- tion on account of royalist opinions; settled in United States; established an arsenal and cannon factory at New York; went to England in U99 and was employed by the government; his great- est undertaking was the construction of the Thames Tunnel, where the shield system, invent- ed by him was first used; the shield is con- structcd of cast-iron frames, and is divided into compartments, to allow excavation at the work- ing face and the passing back of material; a lining of brick or cast-iron is used and the shield is brushed forward by screws as excava- tion procceds; in his great undertaking Sir Marc was assisted by his son, Sir John Brunei who was later mised toitheiipeiraglf.

We are told Canada is facing a. “sci-lous" short- age of fats and oils for war industries, necessi- tating an immediate nation-wide salvage cam- paign for fats and bones which must last for the duration of the war. Cansdian meat dealers. as their contribution, have undertaken to lcocpt salvaged fats and bones at their stores, and to see that they are forwarded to the renderers and meat packers for the recovery of vita] glyceririe for explosives and other materials es- sential for war industries. Renderers and park- ers also have promised their co-operation in mak- ing the campaign a. success. Every ounce of dripping, every morsel of scrap fat, every bone, green or dry must be saved and meat dealers will pay from four to four 1-2 cents per pound for dripping fat. ‘I ‘I i.

This is good news if true. The Government is determined to prevent any furt er increase in the living cost and to achieve this it will not be sparing in its use of fiscal measures and sub- sidies. That is one point made plain by Finauce Minister I. L. Ilsley at a. press conference in the Minister's office, at which most of the talk- ing was done by Mr. Ilsley and Mr. Donald Gordon, head of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, while Mr.,_]', G. Taggnrt, head of the Food Corporation explained the butter fat sit- uation and Mr. lloctor B. McKinnon, licad of the Commodities Stabilization Corporation, threw light on the workings of the subsidies. Another impression clearly given was that there is not the slightest intention of abandoning the carefully conceived living cost bonus system, which the cabinet are firmly Pltrsuadcd has done a big job in helping to stabilize the econ- omic position.
