‘rise to the enquiries Mr. Claxton spoke of. Aill these are answered and everything possible is being done at Ottawa to ask the British auth- orities to hurry the work along. Of more than 6,200 awards to R. C. A. F. personnel during the war, however, more than half are still to come and deliveries for the Army and Navy are in proportion. The Minister pointed out that the Royal Canadian Mint at Ottawa is engaged in making the campaign stars and medals, in- cluding the 1939-45 Star, the France-Germany Star, the Africa Star, etc., as well as the De- fence, Medal, War Medal and Canadian Volun- leer Service Medal. These are in process of manufacture, he said, but distribution will only be commenced when sufficient quantities will be

Enigma Solved

0pc nf the greatest cnigmos of modern physics has just been solved by a United King- dom scientist. Professor Blackett of Manches- ter has dcscribcd to the Royal Society researches which provide evidence for o new law of the Unlvnysr This lnw establishes o connection be- tween the ihnory of electromagnetism and that of general iclntivity as well as linking electricity and magnetism with gravitation. The absence of any such observed link has long been one'of the most baffling puzzles which has exercised the best scientific brains the world ever since Ein- stein first propouiidcd his General Theory of Relativity in i915. Professor B|ackett's theory is that rotating bodies -— including the Eartli, the Sun and the. stnrs - produce magnetic field; by virtue of ‘their spinning motion. This law which it may well be possible to test by laboratory experiment thus establishes for the first time a definite relation between gravita- tion and magnetism.

Medals lleiiiliig

"Medals are coming," the Hon. Brooke Claxton, Minister of National Defence, said in answer to recent queries from ell-servicemen as to when they might expect awards won during the war. "lt isn't generally appreciated", the Minister continued, "that all the decorations for bravery and distinguished service are mode in the United Kingdom, where there is a shortage of highly skilled labour." Recent investitures by His Excellency, the Governor General, have giveii

Murder by mail, or the attempt thereof, ‘is even more heinous than ordinary murder, as in nine cases out of ten, the victim may not be the one intended. The perpetrator does not only commit a dastardly act, but craveiily attempts to protect himself by anonymity, letting His Majesty's civil servants bear the responsibility for the evil consequences of his deed.

The Massacre of Lidicc this date i942; the Germans completely destroyed the Czech village of Lidice, every man being shot and all the wo- men and children being sent to concentration comps, because of alleged assistance to those who shot Heydrich and other hostile acts. As Reinhard Heydrick, notorious Gestapo chief, was passing through the outskirts of Prague, a bomb exploded near his car and a man fired on him with an automatic rifle. He was seriously wound- ed and died on June 4.

The Supreme Court of New Brunswick has released a sixteen year old boy from a two years’ sentence, because neither the jails nor penitentiary are fit for boys or men to be in- carcerated in. Chief Justice Michaud said: "The public are happy to spend great sums of money on cattle to improve the breed of animals, but what do they do to reform and improve our youth, who have to be sentenced? There is no way to reform them in jail. The public is re- sponsible for the way the young people are act- ing today. lt is a wonder there are not more youths coming before us to be sentenced." Chief Justice Michaud continued that there is not one jail in New Brunswick to which a magis- trate can feel safe in sentencing a man or youth for any length of service. Chief Justice Harrison said, "l consider the remarks of Chief Justice Michaud very. true as lie speaks from a vset intimate knowledge. l trust his words will come to the attention of authorities who will use some means to improve the situation."

What these Government films are costing us. When does a travelling expense account become something other than o travelling eit- pcnse account? asks an Ottawa correspondent. The correct answer to the riddle appears to be: "When the total is $365,000." Official Ottawa admitfreluctontly that 310 Notional Film Board employees drew more than this amount in the 1915-46 fiscal year under tlie heading of what the Dominion’: public accounts lists as "trovel- ling expenses." But there are hasty assurances that "all of this can be explained quite simply." To the forefront in the explanations depart- ment is Defence Minister Brooke Claxton who was chairman of the N. F. B. during that period while he held the National Health and Welfare

Ministry. He argues that while the report might be all very well-and even accurate in a sense-the whole affair was due to the mis- leading tag of "travelling expenses" used in the Dominion’: public accounts to describe payments mode to some 310 National Film Board employ- ees. A large proportion of the imposing total, Mr. Claxton says, is accounted for by N. F. B. employees whose iob requires them to travel continuously exhibiting films on the riirol elr- cults.

The problem which faces the High School Board at Chesterville will be repeated in many other small communities across the pro- vince this Summer. At Chestervlllc. five out of seven teachers have tendered resignations to the board apparently because they can get. better-paying positions elsewhere. With the economic times as badly out. of joint as they are now. there is a danger that some smaller cori- liniiailoii and high schools will be forced to close their iloo-rs. through lack of teaching staff. — Cornwall standard Freeholder.

We have it on the authority of a deiciznte to a dentists‘ convention in Chicago that. the dcntist suffers just as much as his patient does. says The St. Thomas Times-Jour- nal. 0f course. mod-em dentistry ls almost painless. the customer's sufferings being more mental than actual. and are PYIDBFlGIlCEd before treatment. not during. Like the inv- ing father who is about to admin- ister necessary corpora] punish- ment to a child. the denlist may say in his patient: "This is going to liurt me more than if will you." It is not a sympathetic pain lri the same place. but it is a real pain and not an anticipatory one. According lo the Chicago speaker. tlie dentist suffers from sore feet. because h» has to stand at. his job all day. Then again he may sprain his wrist struggling with a stub- born molar. Now pity the pom- suf- fering dentist!

Toronto police are reported tn have asked for facilities to enable them in listen-in on telephone lines. and strong‘ objections have been expressed in certain quarters. hold- ing that i-t would be an unwarrant- ahle interference in the private lives nf citizens. 0f course, nobody likes to think someone also ls lis- tening-iri on lheir ii-lcphone con- versations. although on party lines and rural phones it is p, common occurrence. The police have no desire to tap the wires just out. of ciirioslti’. and they have txm much on their hands tn waste their time lri that tray. But thi- police often get. to know where there ere tele- phones used by criminals and bei- tn-ig establishments. and that is where they legitimately wish to employ this privilege. If it Is right. for police to watch the movements of suspected persons, and to listen through walls to conversations of suspected persons. we do not see that there is any differenci- m iprliiclple to listening-in to what they say over the telephone. The honest citizen ha; nothing to fear from the police. and the police have no desire to interfere with film. We are inclined to think that some of these manifold bank and store robberies would not go un- solved if the police could employ listening-in devices. -8t. Thomas ‘thrice-Journal.
