Conveners of two Provinces stated that comic books had disappeared completely from many news-stands. One Provinrclal comvener said the saving of Canadian dollars has beriefitted in reducing the sale of comics since many are published in the United States. "The comic strips. however, are literature of today." taid Mrs. Detwiier. "Just to look at the row upon. ugly row of gruesome cover- pictiurosin a news-stand is enough to make ones hair curl." She stressed the importance of mar-shelling public opinion against this type of literature. Other Business Mrs. Detwiler announced that the I.O.D.E. had spent $95,992 on educational work during the last year, an increase of $9.789 over the previous year. Under the direction of Mrs. F. L J. Goout, Toronto, national film convener, a. resolution was passed recommending formation of a national film fund, to which eacii chapter would contribute $1 or more yearly. It was felt that the order could help strengthen empire ties if they were in a position to procure films of historic signi- licorice. Mrs. Grout said that due to the sponsorship of the Order nhere was a. 30 per cent increase in the book- ings of the “Canada Carries on" series, produced by the National Film Board. A total cf $129,529 had been spent during the last year on child and family welfare work. it was re- ported by Mrs. A. K. Richardson of ‘Ikironto in absence of Mrs. H. B. Munro welfare oonvener. Ontario had spent the most of any Province on its welfare program, contribu? in! 346.378, followed by Alberta with an expenditure of 1322.045 and British Columbia with $12,539. An important undertaking in Saskatchewan was the mother- milk-bamk which saved the lives of many new born babies, said Mrs. Richardson.

Mrs, 1), E, Taylor. of Ottawa, convener of the JflnmlflTBtlOn and Caniadianization committee, said that while she deplored the number of Canadians moving to the United States, 8,970 had returned to» Can- ada within the last year because they found their salaries went further here. Mrs. Taylor brought in the resolution that the term "Common- wealth citizen." n-Ot be substituted for "British citizen."

Electoral System At llotaiy Luncheon The intricacies of the American electoral system were eioplained by Judge 1-1. L. Palmer at Rotary luncheon yesterday. The comparative simplicity of the Canadian system in electing a Gov- ernment and Prime Minister mis- lead many Canadians u to the manner in which the President of the United States ls-chcscn. the speaker explained, The American system had its origin in 178'! when thirteen states united to form a central, government. Each State was intensely jealous of its auth- ority and the constitution was drawn up in such a way as to in- fringe as little as possible upon State prerogatives. The‘ President was. and still is chosen by an electoral college con- sisting of the members Senaic. Congress has one seal for each 30,000 citizens and member- ship is proportioned among the States according to population, of the . Ch House of Representatives and the_ Ca flig Air Lines, who has been awarded the McKee Trophy for his contribution to Canadian aviation. The award, an- nounced in Ottawa by Hon. Brooke Etain B. A. Ravi-eon. director of t development, Trans-Canada xton. Minister of National De- fence, is made each year in memory of l. Dalzell McKee, to the person making the greatest contribution to the progress of aviation in Canada. The House of R , ‘ fives at present has 435 members ‘ ‘ for a two year term. The Senate is elected for six years, with one third retiring every two years. Party politics which has develop- ed through the years has further complicated the system and both Democrats and Republicans have independent methods of nominat- ing candldates. County delegates elect district delegates who in turn elect State delegates, so that the average citizen has little to say as to who will be his representative. Primary elections were originally party elections financed by the different parties but have now been taken over by the States. Their purpose is to indicate by popular vote the person most like- ly to carry the seat for the party. In some States delegates are sworn to support a particular candidate. in others they are pledged, and in some States the delegates ‘un- instructed". The Democratic party requires its choice of Presidential candidate to have an over all ma- jority while the Republican party requires only that he have a two thirds majority. The speaker ex- hibited samples of ballots and ex- plained their use. ROtBIlSlLR. H. Rogers paid tri- bute to the late Hon. J. L. R-aiston who was a member of Rotary in- ternational, and who had done much to further the spirit of Ro- tary in his career as soldier, citi- zen, lawyer, statesman ‘and church- man.
