POTATO MARKET - Noting the unprecedented movement of 1,430 carloads of potatoes from the Is- land in January. the Potato Mar- keting Bosrd, in a bulletin issued yesterday. states that this heaw movement will likely be sustain- ed during the next few days. Pos- slbly before another week the -heavy export by boat will be com- pleted and indications point to a completion of the U5. quota by Feb. 15, which may have a weak- ening tendency on the market. The domestic manket, however. has shown a stronger trend through this week with the result that deal- ers are able to pay the grower 55 cents per 75 lb. bag for table stock and make a normal profit.
SORORITY MEETING --The regular bl-monthly meeting of Beta Sigma Phi, Alpha Chapter, was held at the home of Miss Bessie Conrad on Wednesday evening. January 31st.

Denmark has the most highly organised agricuitlue industry in the world. . . . About 10,000 farms in Canada have names. Farms that bear s name are us- ually progressive. and products bearing farm names are usually a source of pride to their owners. Department of Agriculture might look into this idea. . . . The old adage that, "man's work is from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done". is born out by a survey of 10.000 rural homes in N states showing that Ii per cent. of the women on farms never have a. vacation. . . Believe it or not, but each day begins at East Cape, on the easternmost extremity of Siberia, before it be- gins at any other place. . . . Besides the sun, the earth receives a certain amount. of heat from the stars and the moon: but the star Alpha Orlonis sends us the most heat.
0 O I Do rainbows ever appear at night? Yes, these are called lunar rainbows, but are seldom seen, owing to the feeble light of the moon. . . . Besides turning on its axis, the earth keeps rising in some places and falling in oth- ers. For instance, the Northern Coast. of Norway rises 5 feet every 100 years, while sections of the New Emgland Coast are sink- ing at the rate of one foot every century. . . . The reason more shooting stars fail to reach the earth is because they are worn out by friction and only dust falls on the earth. . . . Although the sun is approxmately 3,000,000 miles closer to the earth on Janu- ary than on July, the Northern regions suffer from cold during the former month. The twelve signs of the zodiac were used by Chaldesn astronomers 4,000 years years ago. indeed, there is every reason to believe that zodiac signs were used 1o.ooo years ago.

One of the Most uniorgetable characters of history was Guis- eppe Balsamo. better known a the Count of Cagliostro (1743&), who was born at Paiemsro. This unique person was an apt scholar. an srrant knave. equally at home in a street brawl or a court in- trigue. His knowledge of astrology magic medicine, and many other subjects, was amazing to say the least. He was also a thief, a forger and a murderer. He let it be known that he had witnessed the death of Jesus seventeen centur- ies before, had been living on earth ever since. never changing his ap- pearance; actually, he was then 35. Cngliostro's beautiful wife was as unscrupulous ss- himself, and by good teamwork. they were able to make a fortune from the sale of their so-called elixir of perpetual xouth.

But it took 70 years to build the Capitol in Washing- ton, D. C. . . . . The high- est buildings in the City of Lon- don do not exceed 200 fact.

0t&:G LANGUAGE MUST EAT
C. E. Montague in one of his essays said this: "If a language would live it: must eat." Nothing truer was ever said. There are what we call "dead languages," whose vocabulary is static. The English language in all the times of its best health was a good feed- er, and nothing that it would like to have stuck in its throat. It has borrowed all the jsrgons of sport from hawking to golf. It is verily a "composite" language. It has laid hands on everything within its reaclt. of any use.
We have seen two world wars in our time and they have left their mark on our speech. It pack- ed up every crumb of pithy idiom it could find in the new vocabul- ary whhh came of the new meth- ods of fighting. The word "morale" is a case in point. We heard of the morale of the troops, and of the people at home, minding the "home fires." Quisling gave us a new word, and that man achieved an unenvisble immortality. Science too, has made its con- tribution. The term "atomic war- fare" is new and has received a baptism at the hand oi our age. But perhaps the most common way in which new terms are odd- ed to our speech is by what we call "slang." This term has thus been defined: "Slang is a. peculiar kind of Vagabond language, always hanging on to the outskirts of legitimate speech." This implies that it is not in reputable use.
It is much used by the sporting fraternity, and is a lazy way of saying things when used, although it must be admitted that some of its expressions are very express- iv
e.
its defenders say that it is orig- inal, timely, brief, suggestive, vig- orous and humourous.
Our attitude towards it should be neither one of indiscriminate hospitality nor one of uncompro-
5 rnlslng hostility. There is this to
remember that its constant use by an individual is apt to rob onc's vocabulary of standard words that express nice and exact. dis-
tinctions of meaning - every- thing pleasant being - "nice, bully, lovely, jolly or perfectly
fine." A person is apt: to use a slang word because it is easily available, not needing to think be- fore he speaks.
It cannot be denied that some phrases we use and.hear used, are really expressive, such as "put across". "up against it," "buckle down to it", "up to you to do it," "he was all in." Our cousins to the south of us are called rightly or wrongly, great sinners in this re- gard. but we are aclepts ourselves. Take the statement -- "I beat it to the door." That is more ex- pressive than "I hastily quitted the room." or "I retired preclpltately". Take "to get. away with it"; or "to put it over on him'; or "put it across"; these are really good English idiom but have not, as we say, been registered in the book kept the pundits.
Yes. our.lsnguage has been est- ing and the end is not yet. voca- bularies change. Shakespeare uses words that Chaucer did not know about. We have a living language. Words are often "fossil poetry."
Words change their meaning. Take the word "let". Paul, accord- ing to the Authorized version, in the sentence "I was let hitherto". gives it the meaning. to hinder- opposite of our use. Or take "pre- vent" in I Thess. 4: 15. He meant that those who died would not lose anything - that those who re- mained would not "get the better" of those who died before Jesus came.
Did not Horace ask when dis- cussing the privilege of words changing their meaning - "should words challenge eternity?"
Flu Epidemic Hits ll.S. Valley Towns
KENTVILLE. N.S., Feb. 2-(CF) -- An epidemic of influenza and common colds has drastically cut school attendance in Annapolis Val- ley towns, Wallace L. Barieaux, Kentvillc school supervisor, said last night.
Some 300 students out of a total of 900 were confined to their homes here. At Mid-leton, 345 out of 480 were ill yesterday. Similar situations existed in other centres.
Dr. Shirley Bishop, Kenlvillc medical officer, said the sickness -mostly common colds and some 'f1u - has reached the epidemic stage and advised as many as pos- sible to stay in their homes'.
At Halifax, Dr. Allan R. Mor- ion, city health officer, said ab- scnuteeism because of colds is great-
Recent discussion of education is largely confined to the details of one or other of the reports of the Hope Commission. it might be well at this moment to recall some of the aims of education. and particularly at the university level. The fundamental purpose of a higher education is the cultivation of the mind, as Cardinal Newman once said. It strives to equip a young man or woman not only with knowledge but with strong pow- ers of judgment and moral virtue. The human intellect is a dynamic force. Particularly in the young as it keen, flexible and strong. Those who know the young very -well are aware of the quickness and delicacy of their respariee, of uhe shrewdnes of many of their sudden judgments. Too often their intellectual power exlhausts itself in flippancy and irreievancy; but it is power all the same. Higher learning'.s first task is to provide such an intellect with a knowledge universal enough to match its pow- er. It does this by focussing it upon both the natural and super- rnatuxral ends of man.
Of equal importance with the cultivation of the mind as an ob. jective of education is the task of introducing the keener student into traditional wisdom, into the theology. philosophy. science, mathematics, history and literature of-many centuries. At one time this was done by way or the Classics because the study of Lat. tin and Greek served to develop a sensibility to life, art and human values. Unfortunately this ap- proach is becoming less and less frequent. Those who take educa- tion seriously regret this modern tendency, and particularly do they regret the decline of the study of Latin. Attempts to contact tradi- tional wisdom by otlher approaches have not thus far been successful. The Church has always been an im-pora-nt factor in intellectual pro- gress. She has consistently spon- sored and promoted the cause of -lizberal learning. But she is not its only defender. The celebrated Dr. Meikiejohn in his work on "The Ex-perimental College" writes as follows: "Our first aim is not to get lilberal thinking done excel- lently, but to get it done at all. In a. word we must recognize that the drift of American life is against these forms of liberal think- ing which seem most essential to its welfare."
'DL1e Church has no wish tdtske sides in the war-between opposing schools of educators. She would -be more than satisfied to find gen- eral recognition by all of them of the true hierarchy of the sciences,

Thoughts For Our Time.

with theology in her proper place, guiding the others from above. snaking than subserve the true and of man-the divine destiny of un- ion with God.
in addition to the above reasons for seeking higher education, there is a third and sil-important one- the attaining of intellectual matur- ity. when boys and girls finish high school they begin in one way or another to experience the prac- tical problems of life. They begin to give very serious thought to their calling in life. They are realty to dip into the kind of learn- ing that is both based on experi- ence and itself contributes to ex- perlence.
Some subjects can be learned -with very little experience of life, matihemstics for example. or sci- ence, language and geography. Others, notsibly philosophy. ethics, politics and literature in it tru- est sense, demand very real experi- ence of life because they deal not only with truth but with human nature itself. These provide train- ing in sensibility. By their nature they bring I. per into contact with the best of human achieve- ment and impart a sense of values hostile to narirowness, bigotry. pm- vlncialism and distortion of every -kind. Without some contact with them there is no higher education.
Such education cannot be satis- factorily nor fully accomplished in the secondary schools. The very young are incapable of receiving it. It demands experience and. perhaps, is most: successful when the person cqncerned has been out of school for some time.
if our civilization is to be I. high one, if it is to be better tomorrow than it is today, lihe minds of more and more of our leading citizens must achieve the kind of matur- ity that comes from blending of human wisdom and practical ex- perience of life.
Let me conclude ese remarks on education by urging the young to love learning, to pursue it d,-3,11- gently while at school and as long as they live. Let me remind them of the value of a deep ra- tional life, of the life of the mind vwisely directed towards the basic purposes of life. Let them not occupy themselves with the mere acquiring of facts. Zllhcse who limit learning to the gathering at facts only too often neglect tho rncst important of all facts, the ex. us-tence of a Creator. Let them, rather, bring vitality to factual knowledge, exercise their discrim. hull"! Powers of reason upon it do: their own greater satisfaction and for the happiness of society.

in the Senate yesterday by the mover and seconder of the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne.
Senator .1. Wesley Stamfbauglh (L-Alberta), the mover, and Sens- tor J. M. Dessureault (L-Quebec), seconder, both said Canadian re- sources could play a big part in combating aggression.
"in a world needing increased production to meet increased de- mands, in a world of uncertainty where sufficient strength is ne- ccssary to deter aggression, Can- ada has ihc opportunity to take a vital past," said Senator Dessere- auvlt.
He said Quebec particularly was engaged in a major share of the expansion of production for defence purposes. The increase in its industrial capacity during the last few years had been "highly remarkable."
Senator Stamibsugih said the seri-
ousnes of the world outlook is serving to strengthen Canada's national unity. "Not only that. it is increasing the determination of Canadians to do their full and proper share, first to save the peace; failing that, to defend freedom wherever it is threatened," he said.
It would be necessary to devote an increasing proportion of Cana- d-ian resources for national secur- ity. There would be substantially higher expenditures for defence. That was part of Canada's share in the partnership of the North Atlantic treaty organization."
