Winter Roads Neglected

One of the most pressing obligations on the Government of this Province is the maintenance Complaints from many sources have been received with regard to the neglect of this obligation on the part of the pres- ent administration. In particular, it is coni- plained that the road from New Dominion to Afton Hall, used extensively by farmers hauling

0f winter roads.

potatoes and turnips at this time, is in a dis- graceful condition, making traffic dangerous as well as difficult by reason of the numerous bad pitches and “slows”. The same criticism applies to the Nine Mile Creek road and other roads which, during a mild winter such as we have enjoyed up to the present, should be kept in first-class condition.

' AiStriking Contrast

In the course of the draft address debate in the llousc of Commons last week a striking comment on the nuemjiloyment situation was made by the C.C.l". leader from‘ Vancouver East, Mr. Axons Miiclzvnis, who happens to he a native of this Province. In his mail recently, Mr- hlAClNNIS said, he had received two com- niunications. One was from an old gentleman in the interior of British Columbia. In shaky handwriting he complained of having t0 live on $9 a month, which he was receiving in relief, and he referred to the items of diet on which he had to subsist——flour, rice, bacon and beans, a few prunes, and tea and coffee. The other communication was in the form of a. magazine from the Seigniority Club, membership in which carries exclusive privileges with regard to liunt- ing and fishing, The publication contained the announcement :

"Nature In the raw this whiter In the Selgniority Club forvst will be a. little less raw than usual, thanks to the distribution ,of several hundred ,_ ds of beans and molasses cakes.

‘ The young deer get their proper number of vita- mins from these, and then when normal feed has grown scarce and. the snow is so deep they cannot labour through it, the guides and rangers cut brush and lay it on the triiil so they can get it without difficulty."

Mr. MACINNIS added: “The man who wrote to me about the difficulty of carrying on on $9 a month pointed out that he was not al- lowed any sugar. There was no thought taken 0f vitamins as far as he was concerned, and there is very little thought taken for the 1,200,- ooo people who are on relief in Canada at the present time-no thought as to whether or not they have the proper amount of vitamins. It is much better to be a deer in the forest of the Seigniority Club than a Canadian on relief in this country, because the one receives some con- sideration whlle the other gets very little.”

One of the surprises for the reader is ‘the extraordinary range of services which the bank offers to the public~ Something like a, score of these services is listed, and not only is each pervice sorplained in language that is easily understood, but the correct methods of pro- eedure are also givencAmong the subjects dealt with is that 0f borrowing money from the bank -—a subject which we are all more or less inter- ested in these days.

Conquering Common Cold

Scarcely a winter passes but some new pre- ventive treatment for the common cold is an- nounced, The latest is described in the British Medical journal, in an article reviewing experi- ments conducted over a period of four months by research workers in a London hospital.

The method consists in taking doses of vac- cine through the mouth. Commenting on ‘the ad- vantages seen in this method of cold prevention, as compared with the use of subcutaneous injec- tions, the Medical Journal says : “A bottle of oral vaccine can be kept, as on a dress- ing table, and individual and weekly doses can be swallowed in the evening before retiring, and on an empty stomach, the amount -of time in- volvcd being only a few seconds. This weekly oral dose can be kept up all Winter, without any

trouble whatsoever"

Professor LEACOCK, who on it being inti- mated he was to be retired from McGill was offered an appointment in Harvard, is unlikely to accept it. Meanwhile a. movement is on foot amongst McGill students to have the governors of the university retain the services of both Dr. CHARLES F. MARTIN, dean of the faculty of medicine, and Dr. STEPHEN LEACOCK. Petitions for presentation at an early meeting 0f the board of governors are being circulated in the inter- ests of these two veteran members of McGill's staff. A similar movement in favor 0f Dr. PAUL VILLARD, associate professor of French, is re- ported to have been dropped when Dr. ARTHUR E.

Scientists of the future will remember Dr. Luowix SILSBRSTEIN as the Toronto mathema- . tician who successfully criticized the Ems-rem Theory of Relativity and pointed the way to a new mathematical formula which deals with space and matter in a manner which removes objections to the Ems-rem concept. In a recent article in Physical Review, New York, .Dr. SILSERSTEIN laid down the framework of a new theory of space-time which, EINSTEIN agrebs, corrects his former theories. SILBERSTEIN pub- lished the paper at Emsrznfs express request, and as S result EINSTEIN himself is now st work- upon a new theory t0 express, mathematically, a correlation of all physical phenomena. Its a blessing we did not know enough about the EINSTEIN theory to be misled by it. Where ig- norance is bliss Dr. SILBERSTEIN confirms the

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

Sim-Statements have been made by an advocate of Legalized Bever- age Sale that the vote of the people of the Province in 1927, which he refers to as having re- sulted lri "an overwhelming majority" in favour of Prohibition, did not represent “the voice of the people." He claims that who thenvofeddid not do so "from deep personal conviction", but in “a delirium of altruism and a frenzy of righteousness."
