There is no inten- tion of discontinuing these tests in Prince Edward Isfand. and posliive intimation to this effect was made recently by Hon. Robert Weir, Federal Minister of Agriculture. The last tests were made in 1929 and next year,’ when the six-year period is up. the tests will again be under- taken. The Province, since it be- name a restricted area. under the first Stewart Government. has never ceased to enjoy this distinc- tion. 0h both occasions when tests were conducted the Proportion of diseased cattle was remarkably low.

Lincoln's great cathedral. one of the architectural glories of the world, took more than 200 years to come to its full splendor. Rhelms cathedral, begun in 1211. was not completed within 100 years. And so with most of the other great sacred edifices that made the thirteenth among the greatest of centuries. It is different today. The mania of our age is for speed, with rush and hurry enthroned as gods of ef- ficiency. with the multitude rushing about in desperate fear of leaving something until tomorrow. We career over highways at, a. speed of '10 or‘ 80 miles. boast of giant loco- motives that hurl themselves through space like meteors, build mighty ships that link continents in four days, speak of the day when We shall breakfast in America and dine in Europe. Patience has be- come a. sin. Yet one is compelled to wonder whether this mad rush isn't mostly futile. "To travel hopefully." said Stevenson, "is better than to lir- ritie.” but we are never satisfied about. unless we are arriving. We rush madly to our offices. and rush back home again as madly, rush to and from our play, speed even to and warsm s? from our worship.

And no one asks who or what they have been More than they ask of the waves on the Midmost ocean that swell, foam for a moment, and are gone." In our technological age. when machines and speed arc everything, Westminster Cathedral could be reared and complcetd in a few years. Yet technology has built nothing or is building nothing like the architrwtural glories of the Lritlie Ages, when men labored l-everently with their hands, meas- ured time differently and thought of eternity. They knew and were fortified in their patience by the thought that they were building for posterity- and they left to poster- ity something of their task. The difffereilce today is that we build overnight, with desperate haste. leaving to posterity only a share of the cost. The Cardifi Giant (Exchange) The syracuse.

FRED COOK‘ O THE (YITAWA HOhE GUARD There was a group o! members assembled on the verandsh of the Royal Ottawa Golf 0111b late on Sunday afternoon of August 11th, 1914, exactly one week after war had been declared. We were discus- ing the situation. and then some- one made the suggestion that we organize a Home Guard in Ottawa. No sooner said than done. In three minutes Dr. Morse, registrar of the Exchequer court. and myself had a. call made out to which ten names were attached Notices in next morning's newspapers brought us fifty more within twenty-four hours. and within one week we were two hundred strong. Lawyers, bankers, musicians. doctors, civil servants, and business men enrolled them- selves for drill and the bearing of arms if the emergency arose. Two of those in the ranks were veter- ans, Sir George Burn and Mr. Denis Murphy. Two other promin- ent guardsmen were Sir Joseph Pope and Dr. C. A. Harris. A com- mittee of management was select- ed and I was appointed secretary. The first thing we had to do was to secure a competent drill instruc- tor, and in this respect we were very fortunate in having two, Cap- tain Chester Payne, who had been in the militia. for several years. and who was particularly well posted on organization and drill; the other was Sergeant King of the 43rd D.C.O.R. The company met three times a week, and we always had a. good attendance. The enthusiasm was wonderful. Until the cold weather set in we drilled three times a week on Cartier Square and later in the drill hall. Our experiences in drilling were unique. In tum we were given charge of the company and I recall one evening that the assigned C.O. was marching us in- to the brick wall of the drill shed, but fortunately in the nick of time he realized what was about to hap- pen and barked out the command, “Squad, ’bout tum." My left file was always Dr, Harriss. of Earns- cliffe. He was a. zealous chap, but unfortunately knew not his right hand from his left. When Sergeant K1118 gflvo the word of command, “Squad. form fours; shoulder arms," followed by "Right tum. quick march." instead of turning right Harriss would invariably move left, with the result that his rifle and mine always clicked. This led to the peremptory command to "Halt," and King would come over and say, ‘Please. Dr. Harriss, when I say ‘right,’ won't you turn right? Fol- low Mr. Cook." But Harriss could not learn. After drilling steadily for over two months we felt we were real soldiers, and that we might; venture to show ourselves to the public.
