The extra measure is exemplified in the giving of personal services, and in that. field. not one indiv- idual is too poor to contribute. One's con- tribution may be a friendly greeting. at moment taken for a chat. an arm offered acmss a thoroughfare, any act which will include a siglitless friend in home and social activities. The average blind person has lost only one facility. Other human am-E. bitions and desires remain. ! In this way one may be the recipient of an experience deeper than just the satis- faction of doing a kindness. ”It is better to light a candle than to curse the dai'k- ness." Men and women who have been denied physical vision have not infrequent- ly lighted their candles, and brought light into an otherwise spiritually darkened. world. Blind and deal, Helen Keller sa,vs.1 ”There is no lovclier way to thank God for, your sight than by giving a helping hancl. I to someone in the dark." l A Drink Test A playing-card test to find out how much a person's reaction time is impaired by drinking has been pointed out by Mr. J. A. Christie. chairman of the S:':lSix'EliCil- ewan highway traffic board. as an example of the danger of driving after drinking. Ini- paired driving now results in operators li- eence suspensions, The test is simply one of sorting three decks of cards consecutive- ly into the exact order, and Mr. Christie suggested that persons who have driven their cars to parties where any drinkmg 15 involved would do well to try the test both before and after drinking. A comparison of the time taken in the two tests would then give them some idea of the extent by which their reaction had been -slowed duel to drinking. At parties where it has been- tried, Mr. Christie said, it was found that. in the case of most parties accustomed to drinking, their length of time taken for the test was nearly doubled after taking thicc drinks. ”This means that if they have no drinks they will be able to stop a vehicle in 60 feet." he cxD13m9d- If they have been drinking, it will take 120 feet in Iwhith go stop," And, Mr..Christie added. a lot” of accidents happen in that second 60 feet. Historic Trees Fall Mail from the ”Old Sod" this week; brings news of the destruction by storiiiy weather of two historic trees. The first for expansion. But under the present policy of taxation, the reward for work and the means of investment are being drained off. And largely as a result, capital has to be brought in from other lands. "It is all very true that Canada must take its part in defence. That is so very true that nobody denies it. But this is not the point. It is not our defence spending that is holding us back. It is the strange theory that money ought to be drained away by the Government, even if it only accumulates in a sprawling surplus." EDITORIAL NOTES A World, mourning. a Dominion, a Province in King George's passing is an end to our K.C.'s ,who now automatically become Q.C.'s. 0 It will now be. as in Victoria's glorious reign.

G D It Congratulations to His Worship Lieut. Col. J. D. Stewart on his election by ac- clznnation. Also to Councillor Gormley. who has been siiiiilarly honoured by the voters in Ward I. Both have good records of work already accomplished. O O 0 It has been customary recently to ob- serve nearly all public holidays on Mon- day nearest the event. As Queen Eliz- abethls birthday, April 21, happens this year to be a Monday, it falls nicely into this arrangement. Charges that Canadian agricultural prices are out of line because New Zealand and even the United States can sell here fail to take into account such factors as our high priced dollar which means easier imports than exports. I 0 With the exception of the days official- ly set apart for National mourning. it will be ”business as usual" from now on. The Coronation will not likely take place for six months when, following custom. all the lworld. including this Province, will be of- ficially represented. I That only sixty persons in Britain should have incomes of i6,000 or more indicates the length to which the levelling process has gone, as it is also going in this country. In future the accumulation of capital and investment in industry must be by those in more modest circumstances. or by govern- ment. I I O - Theodore Agrippa d'Aubigne, Frenc soldier and scholar was born 400 years ago today. At the age of ten, he could read Latin, Hebrew and Greek and "seemed destined for a scholarly life." A Huguenot, was that. of the famous beech tree in the grounds of Ncwbattle Abbey. near Dal-: kcith, Scotland. believed to have been ; planted by the monks of Ncwbai t lc about 450 years ago. which has b0'-in blown down. It has been regularly mcas-t tired, and its girth at the ground was 4.3 feet 8 inches. while six feet higher up it was 19 feet 7 inches. The circumference of its foliage was fully 400 feet, and its height about 110 feet. Another casualty of the storm was the Tullochgorum tree at Lins- hart, Longside. Abcrdeenshire which also has been blown down. It was while sitting under this old hawthorn that the Rev. John Skinner composed "Tullochgorum", which Burns described as "the best Scotch song ever Scotland saw." , ” A Strange Theory A curious school of thought has grown up in Canada. says Montreal Gazette. It is the school of those who seem to believe that the best way of making this country go ahead is to tie it down. Once it is ponder- oualy burdened. then it will really get into its stride: "Perhaps this sounds like a doctrine of contradictions. No doubt it is just that. But the important thing is that this school of thought exists. And what is more important still, it is in control. .”It might seem that the one thing that Canada "needs most is to be freed, like the strong man who is eager to run a race. No land on the face of the whole round earth .-bu. greater opportunities awaiting it. The luggmbeckons us.

I O I i It was a French-Canadian delegate to .U. N. conference in Paris, Mr. Jean Lesage 1who had resort to Samuel Pepys' diary to iprove that too much talk was the curse of jsuch conferences. Pepys wrote: "But Lord! iwhat a tumultuous thing this committee is, for all the reputation they have of a great council, there being as impertinent questions and disorderly proposed, as any old man could make. . . Behaving themselves like most insolent and ill-mannered men." Mind- vful that the committee has been arguing for three months in the Palals de Challlot. Lesage read this quotation from a letter from King Charles II to his sister in 1660: "Tell me. I beg of you, how you spend your time. for if you stayed long at Chaillot in this miserable weather. you must have been not a little bored." The committee laugh- ed-and went ahead with its world battles. Echo Valley That's what I shouted across, last gear! comes back . H.-to him now.

NUTRITION Sir.-Oiic of the best. items. of the many. I have seen in The Guardian for I long time was the Innouncement. that. a nutrition program is about. to be launched. We are getting on; but. I pity it had not. been taken up. at least. twenty-five years ago. and saved much disease and many lives, lost. through malnutrition. No doubt. whatever. that overeating of food. lacking in vitamin essentials. has carried away many men and wo- men before their time. it is said that overeating is one of the major concerns of the medical profession. A farmer. coming in from his hard work. hungry as 8. spring bear. to in good table is greatly tempted to overeat; and so.ott.en he grabs up an old sweaty hat. as I have often seen done, and rushes out to work again. He would need an iron constitution to stand flint. Wrong diet. brings on disease. I have good reason to believe it was that which sent me. in 1921. from Trinidad to the Presbyterian Hospital. New York. for an op- eration for I perforated. duodenal ulcer; and laid me off from my work for six months. Malnutrit- ion is in direct and contributing cause for mnny' diseases.

The remains of Henry Bi-ehaut I and his wife were removed from the Church of Englnnd cemetery at Murray Harbour village and placed in this cemetery at the time the monument. was put. up.) 0 O 0 Just one hundred years ago in the early part; of June. a. party of people landed from I vessel It the place ever since known as Guern- sey Cove. They came from the Isle of Guernsey to make homes for themselves in the New World. and they were the ancestors of a great. many of the people now liv- me here. They were the Machona. LeLoch- eurs, Roberts. Marquands. DeJer- seys. Taudvina and Brehauts. To- day we are here to celebrate the centennial of their arrival. and to do honor to the memory of one of the families by the unveiling of the nument lately erected. Henry Breliaut. died in 1848. aged 81; his wife in 1864. aged 98 years. They were laid to rest in the English Church cemetery. but their descendants thought it best to remove them, and place them and the monument where most of their relatives are buried. After coming from the Old Country. it must have taken brave. stout. hearts in land on these for- est-clad shores. where they knew nothing but hardship and toll could await them. But nothing daunted. they found such shelter as they could in an old house. near what is now called Beach Point. and from there they afterwards moved to what became known as Much- on's Point. Perhaps hId they been as much alive the needs of farming as their escendanu. they would have settled about. the cove where they first lnnded. but. they were cooper; by trade. no they considered the woods were all that were to be desired. Ind therefore they settled there. Their first work. after choosing their lands. was to clear I small plot. and build I log house for shelter.
