CARNEGIE GRANTS

The success of tho Stewart. Gov- ernment in presenting the educa- tional requirements of the Province ‘before the Carnegie Corporation and in dbtainlng $60,000 for library purposes and $75,000 for colleze endowment, has evidently cattscd much interest, and even some jcal- miL-q‘. in other Provinccs. Wc quote the IOlIOWIIIg cunment from the ‘lbronw Globe:

“While Boards of Education elsewhere arc trying desperately to balance their budgets, the Car- ileglc Corporation‘ contributes $135,000 toward educational work in Prince Edward Island. And the island probably is suffering less from depression than uny other

part 0f Canada. 'I‘hat‘s the way it is: those with plCilty gct more.“

While it is reassuring to be told

that the Island is suffering less.

from depression than other parts of Czlnudii, it need hardly be said that thcrc was no discrimination 0n the part of the Carnegie Cof- poration arid that it was only after very careful consideration of the claims presented by the Provincial Department of Education that the grants were approved.

srzznws 11v THE wuvu

A despatch quotes Hon. Ian Mac- kenzie, M. P, for Vancouver Centre, and former Minlstci- in the Mac- kvnzic King Government, as de- claring for a reduction of the bank interest rate upon saving deposits from thrcc per cent no one and one- hllll D91‘ 0911i. The err-Minister is said to have indicated that this pro- posal will be a part of the Idberai policy if the Opposition ls returned to office.

Commenting on 7-1115 report, an ex- change asks whether it. is possible that lvlr. Mackenzie and his party ha” fiWDlNd to think what this 1iroptvtstnl means, and now it affects . a multli-ude of small ticposifcrs tlifviishout Canada? The millions of dollals held in the savings dc- partmcnt of the chartered banks- rvprcsent. lhc hard work and thrift of tens of thousands, if not of huncl. reds of thousands of men and women of very modcst moans.

Alorcovcr, it would be interesting i0 fallow why Mr. Ii/Luckcnzle should take it upon hunself to make a pronouncement of policy for the Lib- oral party. It is commnn knowledge that for Vnlfciouvcr Centre has designs on the federal parw leadership. and that he ilas the strong strpport of the Vancouv- er Sun, leading Liberal newspaper

0f British Coiuir-bia, whose criticisms of Mr. King have been more sweep- ing than anything that has appear- cd in the Conservative press. It is i0 the Wcstcm radical clement reprcscnlcd by Mr. lvocds- wortlrs "Co-operative" Common- wealth" group that the statement attributed by Mr. hluckcnzic is dir- ected. This is significant as indicat- ing, either a frantic effort of tllc Liberal party to obtain radical support. or a widening of the tilt within thc Liberal party lulc.

"CA NA DA 19.73" The '_—' annual

1931i edition of thc official handbook dealing with pres- ent conditions and rcccnt progress in Canada has been issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics._ The publication opens with a foreword by the Hon. H. H. Stevens; an in- troduction of eight pages outlines the world situation as it affects Canada. Material dcailng with top- ography and climate and constitu- tion and government has been omit- ted in this edition ln order to make way for a fairly broad treatment of the Imperial Economic Conference, which appears aa Chapter I. De- tailed treatment of all phases of national endeavor including Popu- latlon, Wealth and Production, Ag- riculture, Forestry. Mining. Water

ufactures, Transportation, Trade, Finance, Labour, Education, ctc., follow.

The bookls designed to give a concise but well rounded picture of the current Canadian situation to those at home and abroad, and to provide a better basis of informa- tion for the dlscumion of Canadian affairs generally and in particular for dealing with the business prob- lems of 1933. It is profusely illus- trated and printed in tone to har- monize with the artistic cover.

REPUDIATEI)

The American Engineering Coun- cil representing national, regional and local engineering societies in the United States has passed a re- solution condemnlng technocracy as a development of "exaggerated, intolerant and extravagant claims." It says that tcchnocrats "have capitalized the fears, miseries and uncertainties due to the depres- sion, and proposed a control which is, in cffcct, class dictatorship.” It declares that complete replace- ment of men by the machine is precluded by the law of diminish- ing returns and that, contrary to the pronouncements of technoc- racy, applied science holds the promise of better things to come in a society which fearlessly and Ln- telligcntiy meets its problems. The Engineering Council was compelled to take this step because it receiv- cd many requests for information about technocracy, and because the proxiouncemcnts of technocrats. circulated as coming from engin- ccrs, have led to the belief that they represent responsible engin- eering thought.

THE BURNS CONCERT

The Burns Anniversary Concert under the auspices o.’ the Caledon- ‘ifln Club, is being held this evening and tomorrcw evening in the Strand Theatre, which recently has undergone thorough renovation and cleaning. The concert promises, from the array of local talent; and the variety of the programme, to be exceptionally popular. This is an event which has seldom failed to draw full houses, and this year, should be no exception. The enter- tainment, which includes a. Scotch ccmcdy sketch ill addition to vocal and instrumental music and danc- ing ntunbers, is under the capable direction of Mrs. A. H. Roper. The proceeds, as in other years. are be- ing devoted by the Club to charit-

ablc purposes and there is there- forc a double inducement to enter- lilililllClli. lovers and admirers of the Scottish Bard to patronize this year's concert lnlarge numbers.

Short as the will is, an exchange suggests lb might. have been further abbrev- iated by omission of the futllc six word. reference to the tcstatorls son John, who is rc-mcmbcrccl only lo be forgotten,

The Government of Spain ha to resort to martial law in order t0 suppress the anarchlstic dhorders. This may prove effective for the time being, but even if it does, the law abiding citizens will sufler wit-h the lawless OllCn, at least to a certain extent. The sword is not inclined to discriminate in such circumstances.

In the view o! the 80o S!!!» there is nnich need of better practice in tourist nclvertising. It does not think much of ‘he old idea of ‘dc- penduig on booklets and nlaps to attract visitors. The big problem is to obtain new tourists-crowds of visitors who have never yet visited a, glvcn locality. "There is only one good way t-o reach there who hove not. yct visited your tcwn. This is‘ through the newspaper. Nobody yet has devised a scheme for telling who are llkcllkto come. So that the only mclhod within reach of all communities for attracting visitors is to make announcements through the press. The newspaper reaches everybody and is the only known available medium. Booklets and maps are xiccdcd when enquiries are received for them. But a general hit or miss method of sending bundles of these around the country in the hope that some will get into the hands of interested people is both ineffective and costly,"

Mr. Mackenzie King's speech at Quebec carves to shc-w how far he mlsjudges the tcmpcr of the Can- adian people. He attacks the Ot- tavra Conference agreements ‘with- out waiting to see what they accom- plish. This offends the sense of fair play of our people, and runs coun- ter to the prevailing feeling, which is to give the Ottawa agreements a fair trial. Mr. King, who was turned out of office in the "Canada First“ election because he had men too little zealous for his country's in- tcrcsts and too subservient to hcr powerful neighbors. now has a change of ileart, foxsooth. “Your country is your first obligation," he tells 1m,- audience. That is precisely why the Liberal leader finds him- self out of power today. Can any- one who foliowed the Ottawa nego- tiations and has studied the agrce~ mcnts pretend for one second that the interests of Canada. were neg- iccted? Mr. Bennett's record is clear. Without deviation he has pur- sued the course of "Canada First," giving Canadians first chance at the home market, then giving the Brit- ish and Empire expzrtcis preference ovcr the foreigner.

The rcccnt incidents along the Great Wall of China, says the New York Sun, must remove any 1€~ malning disposition to accept the Japanese explanation that the events since the occupation of the Muk- den area, 1n September, 193i have been only a series of unhappy ac- cidents. The accident excuse has been overworked in the inst-war ecorts to trace the origin of the world crash of 1914, and there is still less logic in applying it to the policies of Japan.

There are 50 different sets of banking law's in the United States, says the Detrorlt Nctvs. One for nat- ional banks, one for each of the 48 States, and for the District of Coi- umbia. There ls competition be- tween the national banks and the State banks, which in some States- have considerably broader powers than the national banks. Wc have been shcwn by sad experience that our banking system has something radllclaly, fundamentally wrong with it. Compared with the sys-lcms of other countries it doesn't stand up.

LIME RELIEVES PAIN

IN CANCER '

It was. recently shown by cancer research physicians that thousands of cases of cancer had been cured during the past few years by the use of the knife, the X ray. and radium.

In the tncautlmc the entire medl- cal research world is working night and day trying to find the cause of cancer.

It is known that heredity iaa factor, and irritation of any kind is also a factor in its cause, but that is all that is definitely known to date .

Onc of the symptoms of cancer, scvcre pain, has been controlled by very powerful drugs such as mor- phine, and uhcrc the condition is considered ilopcicss, the patient is nicrciflllly kcpv under this drug practically all the time.

However where the case is not hopeless, and thcro is a chance of cure by one or all of the three above mentioned methods, some way of colttroilhlg the pain, other than by the use of morphine, is sough by all physicians. . Although the morphine eases the pain it causes a depression of thc body, ics- sons the ttppetlte fol‘ food, and causes a lack of desire for exercise of any kind, so that the general health of the patient is gradually lessened.

It is therefore gratifying to Eearn of the results obtained by Dr. it. J. Bellini, Pittsburgh in the use of calcium, or lime as it is more gen- erally known. He reports that the lime reduces, and in some cases completely removes the pain in those suffering with cancer too late to undergo operation.

Dr. Behan reports that in"pat- lcnts undergoing X ray, or radium treatment the use of llmc often causes a more healthy appearance‘. a good color, a good appetite and that a feeling of well being replaces the usual depressed attitude.

Wherc immediate results were necessary the chloride of lime or gluconatc of lime were injected into the veins; ff immediate results were not considered necessary the lime was simply injected into the musc- 195.

However in order to keep a con- stoilt supply of lime in the system large doses of the giuconate of lime were given by the mouth, as much as two grams three timesa day.

Lime or calcium is certainly prov- ing to be of great help to the body tissues.

They found rich pavements hidden by time's trick,

Adorned with triions, dolphins, cloves like ours.

So, underneath the surface of to- day,

Lies yesterday and what we call the past,

The only thing which never can de- cay.

Things bygone are the only things that last:

The present is mere grass, quick- ihown away: _

The past is stone, and stands for- cvcr fast.

BURNS.’ “VISION”

(A. L. Eraser in Toronto Mill and Empire)

The year 1786 was the mirabllis“ in Bums‘ life. I-le was then twenty-seven W315 01d ‘m4 had ten more years to live. Until this time, he had, to quote his 03v" words, done nothing. 1t was 1n thisyeat“ that he had the trouble with the Armours. and gonggmplatod a joumcy co Jamaica. where he imagined his difficulties would be forgotten. Then he had published what is known as the "Kiimnrnock" edition of his verse $0 meet the expense of his iifl-D- 1'10 made over his share of the farm to hi; brother. The poems "came-out," and like Byron he was famous over night. He went to Edinburgh in- stead. This was the year. too. when he met Highland Mary. It was like- wise the year of the “Vision?

A great many people think that Burns “'85 not calwbiv of a my serious attitude to life, that his na- turc had not a. serious element. ‘This poem pictures him sitting at. the "lngie-cheek," and, to use a Socratic phrase, “examining his life.” All about him in Scotland were thinss tluit seemed to want; a voice. I-Ie would be a. voice for them. The motern democratic movement was in its cradle, and Burns heard its first cries.-

It ls interesting to recoil what other poets thought of their work. Many of them had ‘their own “Vl- slon." Milton felt that he would write something that the nation would not let die. If one would write a poem he must be one him- self. He felt his office was like that of a prophet.

Wordsworth hoped that he might “console the afflicted, add sun- shine to daylight, make the happy lmmiicr, teach the young of every age to see, to think, to feel, and become more virtuous." Keats said that the "great end ofspcetry was. that it should be n, friend to soothe the cares and lift the thoughts of man." -

Until 1786 Burns said that he had regarded his work in poetry as B diversion. He asked now if it was to continue to be that-—a mere pas- time after the laibor of the day was over. a solace when the harvest of the year failed and ruin stared him in the face?

As he sat there that night he sow what he might have been, what he was. and what, please God. he yet might be. Was he to continue tn be “half-mad, halbfed, half-eerkit"? ‘fuming from the tolisome post; he looked to the future for better thfitlgs‘. He would be a. rustic bard- the poem is full of conscious power. He now shook himself free from the tyranny ofthe spil. He weighed the matter, and the resolution for authorship was takeh. Iockhart says that this poem likely dmflbiT-i

Sin-While looking over the Guardian of the 20th Inst" I notic- ed a report of the Annual Meeting of the kemlngwn Dairying Assoc- iation which showed that they‘ had n. very successful year so far as quantity of dairy products manu- factured was concerned. But; there are o. couple o; statements in the report which are very misleading to the general public.

The first is: "llhat the Hamilton cheese factory (which la a. branch of the Kensklgtnn factory) paid an average of 16c per lb. 101' butter- fat which was the highest price paid by any cheese plant in the Province for the year I932." I may say that our own factory paid an average of 18c per lb. for butter- fat during the cheese season, re- gardless of a heavy expense incur- red by the installation of a. new 15 h. p. boiler from Bruce Stewart and 00.. also the. boring and pip- lug of a new well. I am informed that a. factory in the eastern part of the Province paid even better than that.
