6km BACON EXPORTS

' Awarding to our local contempor- aryallthe Macke ‘_ King adminis- tration should be returned to power "in- order to stimulate trade between Canada and Great Britain." This statement is coupled with the argu- ment that "the Ottawa agreements did not open the British market as, improperly claimed," that “there never have been any restrictions on Canadian bacon at any time enter- ing the British market," and that "Canadian bacon continued to go Into the British market as it had ul- fways done."

If this be the case, how is it that our bacon exports to the United Kingdom dropped to 99.000 cwts. izi 1930, the last year of the Mackenzie King Government, and rose to 506.- 000 cwts. in 1933, under the agree- ment negotiated by the Bennett Government?

Whether, as our contemporary a1- leges, “the increase in the price of bacon was wholly due to the action of the British government" is a mtit- tcr of supreme indifference to our Canadian bacon producers who have now a preference in the British market; which enables them to reap: the benefit of the higher prices. AsI‘ a consequence. since the King Goi- ernrnent was defeated they have in-

THE CORRECTION OI‘ STAM-

MERING

-___._ It ls astimated that about one in every hundred has some defect of the speech, the most frequent defect being stammering.

A most interesting thought on the cause of stammimering, that is as far as actual stammering. is con- cemed, comes from H. St. John RAMSEY. Instructor for Speech Defects, Guy's Hospital, London.

"The well known fact that a stammerer. if musical, can nearly always sing without difllculty, provides the solution to the whole trouble, and for this reason. The singer subconsciously thinks in terms of vowels-a-e-i-o-u: while the stammerer thinks in terms 0f consonants-that is, all the other latters in the alphabet-s-zit-f-v, and so forth." ~

The first lesson a student in sing- ing learns is to accent or make clear and loud the vowels because this makes the words more easily heard and understood by listeners.

While singing, the voice is carried through continuously and smoothly. but since the voice tone is heard almost entirely in the vowels (a. e, i, o. ui naturally the singer's whole attention is directed to forming the vowels while the consonants are left to look after a themselves.

On the other hand the stamimer. er keeps his chief attention on the consonants, and most. stamimerers will tell you that their chief dlfli- culties are with words beginning with b. p, g. f, v, s, and z.

Thus if the stammerer wants to sny the word “kirig" he has diffi- culty in doing it because hLs- mind is on the "k." whereas if he were singing the word “king? he would have no difficulty because his mind is on the “l."

Further, a stammerer can fre- quently take part in a theatrical performance, because on the stage it is necessary to use a firmer tone than in ordinary conversation. This forces the mind to concentrate on producing a good tone and to produce a good tone the vowels must be pronounced clearly. "Ninety-nine percent of stam- merers can speak fluently as long as they think of or concentrate on the vowels. and the tone used in the vowels."

The thought tihen is that stami- mercrs become selfconscious and afmid to speak because they have dlfiiculty with the consonants, whereas if they would try to say the vowels clearly, they would gradually have no diifiiculty with the consonants.

In The Clouds

(Sydney Post-Record)

In his last and most ambitious appearance before the Jones Com- mission at Halifax, Profemor Nor- man M. Rogers blossomed suddenly and with little visible effort into a constitutional-reformer and nation- builder. In effect he told the Com- mimlon that the B. N. A. Act should have to be revised, the siruotune of Confederation recast, Canada's fiscal and tariff system radically changed, the mwmueg of

fore the ideals of Justice to Nova Scotia. entertained by the Macdon. zild Government for whom he speaks, could be expected to be m. alized. To complete the quilt-like picture, he advocated "periodical revisions of the structure of Fed- ‘elral subsidies to the provinces. not on the basis of population, for 11153311106. but on the basis of social n ..

But why at “social need." whatever that may mean in this peculiar connec- tion? Why not take higher g-mund, and make social merit-collective good behaviour, so to qpmkr_flw basis of distribution of these Fed'- eml subsidies?

In cold sober fact, the Govern. merit of Nova Sootia, in select 115 Wmmisslon “counsel" for tlhiig "Economic Inquiry." has manifmt. ly retained an inexperienced youth- fui visionary, fresh from his books, for a task that calls for the finest 108111 acumen and best biflnms brains of the province. The con. sequenrxe is that the whole Inquiry is rapidly assuming the ghamcter of a. law-school "seminar" on the 590-1111’ sides of constitutional his- tory. And the cost of this ‘mun. Bel." be it ivmembered, is $500 s, month. plus expenses, dating bqgk to the time hie began "rweargl work" for his precious "red book!"

BPABING THE BOD Sin-It is the opinion of a. great

many discerning persons that mod- ern fads and foibles an hindering the proper training of our youths. Neither time nor experience has proven that the Biblical words re- garding the use of the rod are not sound and true. The Bible says that "the fear of the Lord is the begin- ning of wisdom." speaks also much about the fear of man and the necessity of it. If the fear of man does not beget wisdom, it begets many of the qualities of.’ wisdom, civility, respect, honesty, or- der. Without the fear of man em- powered by the law, living safely or comfortably would be impossible. Without our faithful police, no one would be safe. Moral suasion and church teaching would have as much effect as water on a duck’s back. My observations and information con- firm me in the belief of what a prominent Island educationist told me not long ago. He said the boys are not being properly disciplined on account of the schools being so largely in the hands of young fe- males. Not being able to punish grown boys, they "wink" at their pranks and disorderly, ill-mannered conduct. Not long ago, a pupil in a country school insulted the inspec- tor on his visit. young woman, was of course morti- fied. Another case was brought to my notice. At a school examination, when one of the pupils had spoken
