The paper reported that 34.2 per cent of those replying said they will spend more money on ad- vertising; 45.35 per cent will spend the same as last year; five per cent will spend less, and 15.45 per cent are undecided. \\'liile all the advertis- ers are aware of the uncertainty of the busi- ness situation, the paper continues, they are confident that things in the new year will be satisfactory all round. .~\ number of manufac- turers will increase their selling staffs and uoiie of those reporting will discharge any salesmen, the publication said. m m a Cash income from the sale of farm products in 1940 has been estimated at $714,685,000 coni- pared with $702,794,000 in 1939. This is tlie highest cash income since i920 when the sale of farm products totalled $922,300,000. The increase in the I940 income resulted from gains in marketings of live stock and live stock pro- ducts. Increases in income were recorded in Prince Edward Island. New Brunswick, Que- bec, Ontario and Alberta. Income in Nova Scolia declined as a result of the heavy damage to the 19.10 apple crop. The lower cash iii- coines iii Manitoba and SLtSkfllCllCWZln in I940 are accounted for by the deferred marketing of the wheat crop, and as a result a greater than usual proportion of the income from wheat will be received during the first half of 194i. i 1i 101 " U.$..-\.

Neither is it to be denied, says the Gazette, that very considerable opposition prevails and is not unlikely to increase as the full significance of some of the recommenda- tions becomes more generally known. The Fed- eral Government is acting upon the assumption that implementation of the recommendations will increase the capacity of the country to carry nn the war. The Commission itself submitted this proposition and some of tlic provinces have ac- cepted it. If it can be proved to be sound it will furnish a strong argument for adoption. but tho conference is not likely to lose sight of the fact that this new constitution model which is being proposed is intended to shape the economic, so- cial, educational and. to some extent, the politi- cal future of Canada for generations to come. It will be in operation long after this war has gone into history. If it is indispensable as a war measure, and if the conference is so con- vinced. acceptance may be considered assured, but if it is not proven to be indispensable it will have to stand or fall on its merits as a. peacetime structure r (that, only 10 per cent of Italy's 42.- IIOTES BY TllE WAY A rather reoondlh explana- tion of why women close tilwir eyes when being kissed ls ad- vanced by the Better Vision Insti- tute, which says their purpose is to bLt out. the every day world _and slip into a make-believe one. ‘Our bet. is that they lower their lids chiefly because they've seen Greta Garbo do so in g similar situation.

Early reports said that Borgonzoli. banierlngly nicknamed "General Electric Whiskers" by the ureveient Tommtes because of the alleged flickering mobility of his magnificent beard. had been cap- tured along with fi.e other generals on the fall of the fortress. It now turns out, that three Blackshirt Commanders, Bergonzoli and his two Divisional generals deserted their troops the night before Bar- dia. was taken, leaving the "regular commanders" to carry on while these Fascist heroes weie seeking Safety in flight. under cover of dark- ess. One of the thiree refugee Fascist. generals has since loca rounded up in a. desert hide-out, and given his appropriate number in an Egyptian concentration camp.

Gog And Magog (Hamilton Spectator) A subscriber seeks further infor- mation regarding those quaint wooden figures of Gog and Magog, "toppled in debris" during the in- ‘oendamy raid on the Guildhall last lweek. The reference 1n Revelations to the time when Satan shall be "loosed out of his prison, and shall go out. to deceive the nat-lons ivlitcli are 1n the four quarters of the earth, Gog anti Magog, to gather them together to battle," has an dntrtguing inteiest in this connec- ltiou. The famous efflgies in the Guldhall, however, apparently have no tielaiionsliip with this obscure text Much has been ivritten about the images, but there is still con- siderable doubt as to whom they represented. The researchesof the antiquary, Mr. Fairholt, on the subject are generally accepted as the most. reliable Ile quotes de- scriptions given in the “gigantic history" by Thomas Boreham, a London bookseller, in 1741, in which we are told that “as Corineus and Goeniagog were two brave giants. who nicely valued their honour, and exerted their wliolt- strength and force iii (lCl(?'llCl‘ of their liberty ,and country, so tlic City of Lon- don, by placing these tlzeli" repre- scntativcs iii their Guldlitill, em- blemaiicaily declare that they will, like mighty giants, defend the hon- our of their country and liberties of this their city, which excels all others as iniirli (IS those huge giants exccul iii stature the com- mon bulk of mankind." In his book Boreliain also gives an account. of a great battle of giants, in which all were destroy- ed but "Goemagog, the hugest. a- mong than, who. being in height twelve cubits, was reserved alive, that Corlneus might try hisstrengih with him in single combat." Cor- md’ ineus lirid three of his ribs broken, but, iiiidauuted and in a fury of rage, seized "Goemagog" and threw him down headlong from a. high rock iiiio the sea. giving his name to the spob-"Lan-Gocmagog, that is to say, the Giant's Leap." “Thus perished Goemiigog, commonly cal- led Gogiiiagog, the last of the giants," concludes the story. Echoes of this ‘icgeiidry battle of the giants are found in ancient ‘chronicles, .5 tar back as the thir- teenth century. The name of Corineus, though the victor, was forgotten in ilie course of time and Gocniagtig became Gog rind Miigog ino doubt influenced by inc Biblical reference mcutisiietl above) Sor- fneus is Nllil i0 litivc been the com- pimion of Brutus L110 Trojan, where- as Goemagog was l\ native giant.

Alter the parade they ivcrc set up in the Guildhall, he says, “wlicre they may be daily seen all the year. and I hope, never to be demolished by such dismal violence (the Great Fire of 1666) as happened to their predecessors." These giants were made of wicker and pnstcboard, and were succeeded in 1706 by two wooden figures, carved by RLcEiard Saunders, which now, in their turn, have been "ilemolished by the dls- iiial violence" of Nazi vandals. ifiaefi-‘iira T Confidence is expressed ln Rome that Mussolini will be victorious ln his Eastern campaign.
