The flnanc al situation of the c.ty is satisfactory, except in l0 far as the provision for the Iedemption of bonds is conecmod. lt is not the fault of the present Council that sinking funds had not been arranged for, but it will be the duty of the next Council to make the necessary provison, othcrwtsc when these bonds fall due the City Council will have to have reoource to more borrowings, which 1s only adding to the city‘s financial wor- ries. The best and only satisfactory way o.‘ financing loans is by a sinking fund, wh.ch will automati- cally provide for the redemption of the loan at the end of its term. The retiring Mayor and city Councillors dwerve commendation for the manner in which they huvc handled the affairs orf the city dur- ing the past two years.

FISH CAMPAIGN A delegation from the Canadian Fisheries Association, together with ‘Prcmicr Harrington of Nova Srotin, are in Ottawa. interviewing illu lfunstcr of Fshcries. the Hon. E. N. Rhodes, on the question of the development of Maritime fish- eriea. The Asociation takes the nt- tiiude that fisheries are cntitlcd to as much consideration from thc Government as is agriculitlrc. lt holds that the fisher cs of Canada, and espec ally of the Maritime Provinces, are falling behind those of Europe and America, slmrply bc- cause thcy have been neglected by successive gnvemmenls in power. One oi the suggestions they have made to the Minister of Fisheries is that a campaign should be started throughout the length and breadth oLCanada t0 induce people to eat more fish. To run concurrently with this they suggest that up-to- dale means should be introduced and fathered by thc for thc purpose Government of curing and require more ‘attention and. cilcouragcmcnt from the people of Clllliliil mid thc -,v<»,,»}(1 government.

It has been the real trading ccntrc of China, and for many years was practically run exclusively by the foreign clement of the population. The administration cf justice in s Shanghai, no far al forcignemwm concerned. was taken out of the hands of the Chinese and centered in an extra-mural judiciary. A number of years ago the Chinese. taking advantage of thc world war, agitated to have Shanghai placed exclusively under Chinese admin- istration and to deprive the foreign- ers of any special privileges or prerogatives they had hitherto cn- ‘joyed. A cmnpromise was arrived at, but the outcome was that. Shanghai developed more or less into a ccntrc of. trouble and insurrection. This. reached n. crisis when, as the rc- sult of the Japanese conquering of Manchurlu, the Chinese in Shang- hai instituted a boycott vi Javanese merchants in Shangha‘, and also made attacks upon them and their consul. Japan immediately retaliat- ed by ssndng aeroplanes and men-. of-war to discipline Shanghai, and now Shanghai is once more under, foreign control with Japan at the. beau cf the frregn nations instead‘ w amt Britain.

ALD run TRANSFUSION or nLoon , For many years the discovery that liver would cure pernicious anaemia, it was customary to inject into the veins of these patients blood from “healthy individuals. This would keep them going for weeks, often for months. During the war the "the great success which attended blood trans. fusions in saving life and the ease and certainty with which it was performed by many of the methods used, led to its use in many condi- tions aside from actual loss of blood." ~ If after severe bleeding the hae- moglobin in the blood is down to 30 per cent of normal, or the blood pressure is very low, transfusion of saved. lbzansfuslon is also of great help in those patients who bleed easily- blccdcrs thcy are called-as the blood from a healthy individual yhelps to coagulate or thicken the lblood and thus prevent bleeding. l The method of blood transfusion ll: simple. Into n Zli- per cent solu- ltion of sodium citrate, four times its volume (or amount) of blood is al- lloived to flow from thc healthy indi- ‘vidual giving thc blood (the donor) This blood is thcn run slowly into .ilic veins of the patient by moans of ‘la funnel to which is attached a ltubc, to which is inserted the needle.

This docs mvay ivith trying to match the patients blood with that of some suitable donor from whom to gct the blood needed. Recently in a large city a young- scverely injured in an automobile accident. He was so unl- vcrsnlly beloved that more than two hundred neighbors volunteered to give blood to save his life. Not one of these neighbors had the right type, or belonged to the right groups to match or suit the blood of the youngster. It was some hours before an individual of thc right group was obtained. Scotizfs Great Seal (Toronto Mail and Empire) A new Great Sc~l ilflS been pre- paved by thc Royal Mint, London. for Nova Scotia, but" the province already has a. new one, ordered under thc prcmicrship of lVIr. Rhodes, in i928; did not order an- other, and docs hot want it. Ever snce Confederation the province has hnd trouble ovcr its Great Sea]. The original coat oi’ arms was granical by King Charles I four years nftcr the territory had been named Nova Scotla, and the Seal based on it was in use for more than a century. This apparently was forgotten at Confederation, nnd in i869 the l-Iearldb Office, London. dcvlscd coats of arms for iihc different provinct-s. including Nova Swtia with the “Fish and iThhtlc," and it was commanded ihnt the respectve governments should use these arms on their seals. But a 0811513 celebre arose when Mr. J. N. Ritchie, a lawyer, objected to n- plant of precedence, issued in lifny. 1876, giving certain mem- bcrs of the bar priority over him on the ground that the old Seal attached to the patent was not the proper Great Seal of the province. As this objection, if rubslantlated, would have had the effect of in- Wlidatlng all grants, patents, etc. ‘ssucd under the Great Seal since 1869, an unusual amount of inter- est was excited. It was finally de- ridcd by the Supreme Court of Nova Scoiln in, favor of Mr. Ritchie. At the suggestion of the Crown Officers in England an Act was pas-ed by thc Dominion and Provinclil Parliaments confirming and sanctioning all Acts done un- dcr the Great Seal since 1869, and also authorizing the Lieutenant- Governor of Nova scotla in Council to alter the Seal if necessary, It comes out that when the Grout Seal of 1009 was ofiglnally sent to Nova Scolla objections in thc change from the old Seal were made by thc provincinl govern- mcni. A communlcaton embody- inlz these objculors was sent through thc secretary cf State, but no reply was rccclvcd.

SUNDAY FISHING heading fish and game. parties of tho fish and game aa- men are trying to put a stop to fish- ing on Sunday? It is all right for those people who have lots of time, that can B0 fishing six days in the week and can rcst on Sunday. But here again we bring in the ilaborlng class of men and real. ‘good sportsman, who can not go zflshing through the week, the only [day they can go for B dflyb Out-in! being on a. Sunday. When they do go it takes them six days to figure out where they can K0 to find 8 have government hatcherles here on the Island which the poor man is helping to keep up as well as the sportsman. Now for instance. if a man hrs a pond that is not leased the Government hatcherles will put in spawn free of charge. Then when he gets his pond stocked up with trout from the government hatch- crles free of charge he leases it out to some of those so called sports- mtn. and the working man has to turn back to the frog pond. I am sir. etc. ' ' "I5 SPORTSMAN TROUT FISHING Slrz-I notice a. reply to Mr. Lloyd A. Wonnacottfls letter by L. H. R/cad. He claims the majority of fishermen will admit that the month of April is the month to slaughter trout. Mr. Read believes in knocking the fisherman that liv- es near the trout stream because he can take his rod and get a meal of trout out of the ice cold water, when they are best to eat, even if he has to put an overcoat and mitts on. The sport that goes in the spring, say the first clay of April, with overcoat and mittens on. to my mind has the fishing spirit. If Mr. Read could only get out to Dunk River on the 1st day of April with‘ that nice m o! his and the from the argument thatrall this difficulty as to the Great Seal arose through a singular blunder of the Heralds College, in London. It was suggested that the College had been ignorant, that Nova Scotla. had had arms assigned to it by Charles I when it was a Scottish colony. On inqury at the office in Edinburgh of the Lyon-King-at- Arms it was found that the arms granted in Charles I reign were of a highly honorable character. 'I’hey were the arms of Scotland counter-charged, with the Royal Arms of Scotland for an eacutche- on. As a further marl: of honor, one of the Royal supporters, the Unicorn, was granted ‘to Nova Scotia, the other supporter being "a naked savage man with a club." It is evident that the Heralds’ Office, London, never thought of the fact that Nova Scotla was originally a. Scottish colony and, therefore, made no search for its arms in the Lyon Office, Edin- burgh. The nnns granted in 1869 are what is called in heraldry an “abasementfl being of inferior dignity and without supporters. manufacturers of colonial arms in the Heralds’ College were due all lrtion growing out of the Great rightful and honorable arms were TH!
