SALADA TEA Looking Forward Never in the history of the country have the actions and policies of an incoming government been subjected to such close scrutiny as will be the decisions and doings of the new Mackenzie King, Liberal regime, which was returned to power with such overwhelming support from all parts of the country on October 14. The reason for this assertion is not far to seek. Canada is apparently just emerging from a prolonged period cf agricultural and world-rooted eco- nomic depress'on. During this period pocket books have been hard hit. Much misery has preva'led as the standard of living for a very large percentage of the population steadily declined. The cost of operation of all govern- ments, federal, provincial and municipal have necessarily mounted to meet . the demands for assistance from all classes of citizens, bringing in its train increased taxation at a time when people could ill afford it. expenditure has been met as it was incurred. ahead for future liqu‘dation. As a result, all governmental units are faced with the difficult problem of operating economically so as not to bear down harder than necessary on individual resources and at the same time maintain a growing list of pub- lic services which the people have become accustomed to expect, and these conditions the governments are expected to cope with while an accumulation of indebtedness is being paid off. It looks like a herculean task. The fact that such a large proportion of the population has felt in yary- ing degrees the intensity of the six depression years has in itself stimu- lated a much greater interest in the affairs of the country, the province and the municipality than the people evinced in years of comparative plenty. In good times the citizens are prone to take but a cursory interest in ther own public affairs and usually only just around election time, but when times are hard and unfortunate conditions strike right into the home, people bestir themselves and become vociferous. And that is exactly what happened on October 14 and for many months prior to that date. And now that the people have spoken their mind quite definitely it is safe to assume that, for a time at least, they will follow up their decision, by continuing to take a keen and watchful interest in what their representa- tives at Ottawa do, The interest so recently stimulated is not likely to be immediately extinguished now that the die is cast, and one of the reasons for this is the fact that even if the so-called prosperity corner has been turned, there is still a long climb ahead before the peak is reached. For some time to come the upward struggle will be difficult, The road will be rocky in places and thorned bushes line the path. The inevitable temporary setbacks will be experienced and doubtless there will be some who will become impatient. Whatever measures the new federal government may have in mind to Emiogth the highway and make the journey eas‘er must await the necessary and and and they must oe put into operation before a final verdict as to their effective- ness can be pronounced. It must be borne in mind that it took several years after the big ava- lanche of the fall of 1929 before the floor of the depression valley was reached. It is only reasonable to suppose that it will take as long, perhaps longer, to reach the summit as it required to touch bottom. Past experience has taught this lesson for those whose memories are long enough. Canada, however, has come through this trying period in better condi- tion than many other less fortunate nations. She has preserved her demo- cratic institutions. The fortitude and courage of her people have proved a bulwark during the difficult period. Her financial integrity and credit have been preserved unimpaired. Her people have not starved nor frozen. Ma- terially, she has not sustained such severe shocks as have been the lot of citizens of many of the other countries of the world. With these assets to custain the people in their progress towards re- covery, plus such assistance as a stable government is able to give within its limitations, Canadians have every reason to look forward with hope to- wards the future. And stable government, too, will be able to play an important role in Nhe forward move to better things and improved conditions. It is true there are many who are disappointed that the political party of their choice was not successful at the polls on October 14, but even they will join the majority in expressing approval that the winning party was returned to office in sufficient strength to ensure a government that will be unhampered by the necessity of temporizing at a time when stability and a straight- forward course is essential if a maximum of progress is to be enjoyed. Even so, all eyes will be turned on Ottawa during the next few months.

Made In Canada Weathered Rough Gales Fifty-Foot Yacht Makes Safe Voyage Across The Pacific Three months out from Yoko- hama, with auxiliary engines disabled three days after departure, the 50- foot schooner-rigged yacht Romance arrived at Victoria after weathering almost continuous head gales across the Pacific. The yacht was skippered by Cap- tain Ernest Green, former master of the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Asia, and carried a crew of two, the skipper’s 18-year-old son Philip, as engineer, and John Hunter, former Victorian, able seaman. » “‘T've spent 40 years at sea, part of that time on old square-riggers, but these waves seemed like huge mountains with the snow coming off,” said Captain Green, telling of the worst blow on Sept. 21. “The Romance rode them beam on with bare poles, taking them in beautiful fash’on and i no Tere Fabrics Useful Has Lately Been Used Extensively For Women’s Garments Lastex fabrics have played an in- creasingly important role during the past few years and promise to be popular materials for fall and winter wear. Being impervious to water, Lastex made invaluable bathing suits for the Summer, and likewise will go into the smart ensembles for shooting, golf, skiing and skating. Special tweeds woven with Lastex have been used for these sport suits with Specially reinforced bands at the wrists and ankles of ski suits to keep out the snow. There are leather skiing gauntlets which fit closely at the wrist with jersey Lastex bands. Lastex has been used extensively for women's underwear in tulles and laces as well as jersey. These garments have all the advantages of the strongest elastics without any of water. But when I saw one comber coming that must have been 50 feet high, I truly thought we were done for and uttered a prayer. But we made it, Then we put on two oil bags, one at the fore rigging and the other at the main. And the effect was instantaneous; the seas calmed and we breathed easier. “The Romance is as safe as an Empress, though it may not be as comfortable. The French govern- ment thinks so well of it that French | officials in Indo-China asked the builders for specifications. With more power this type of craft would be ideal for service in those waters.” Captain Green chose the old-time sailing ship track over 40 north lJati- tude and sighted only one craft, a Japanese vessel, on the trip from the Yokohama breakwater. The voyage was the culmination of a lifetime ambition of a seadog who retired last year and who made the crossing many times as master of the 17,000-ton Empress of Asia until he reached the retirement age. ¥, Diamond Mines In Canada American Geologist Believes There Is Hidden Wealth In This Country A geologist and an industrial dia- mond expert voiced the belief that beneath the Soil of Canada lie dia- mond fields far richer than those of South Africa. Professor A. S. Furcron, of West- ern Reserve University, and D. W. Carter, head of a diamond tool com- pany, agreed that authenticated dia- mond discoveries in the United States support the Canadian theory. They said the glaciers of thousands of years ago carried to this country many precious stones together with millions of tons of Canadian rocks and minerals. Carter asserted he subscribes to a theory that northern Canada was a jungle before nature began forming gems in South Africa. “Therefore,” he added, “Canada would contain far greater deposits of riches than the comparatively new dark continent.” POULTRY RAISER CONQUERS “ROUP” Praises Minard’s Liniment As Remedy for Roup or Bronchial Flu “After trying other eerales and obtaining no results what Mr. Minvielle, “I tried ates five to si colt Rheumatic droggists, Population Of World Estimated It Will Be Six Billion By The Year 2100 It has been estimated that if the present rate of increase continues the world will have no fewer than 6,000,- 000,000 people to feed, clothe and house by the year 2100—less than 170 years in the future.

In many ways the achieve- ment is an engineering marvel. Many difficulties had to be encountered which were unexpected. The work was carried on in a confined area un- derneath the busy traffic junction of Cranbourn-street and Charing Cross-| . road. Through one moderate-sized hole in the roadway thousands of tons of materials had to pass. The contractors used a million bricks, 7,000 tons of cement, and 1,350 tons of steel, and they excavated 34,000 cubic yards of clay. A circular book- ing-hall with shops and showcases like those at Piccadilly, all artistic- ally treated and with soft diffused lights, is a handsome feature of the building. There are five stairway en- trances from the street, and three of the escalators are 161 feet long—thé longest in the world—and capable of a speed of 180 feet per minute. Man Flys Under Own Power Drifts Two Miles Into Wind Before Opening His ’Chute A parachute jumper of New Jersey is the Iest man to fly under his own power. With curious bat-like wings attached to his arms, he stepped out of an aereplane at 8,000 feet, rode into the wind like a bird, and drifted two miles before he open- ed his parachute at 3,000 feet. The daring parachutist reported that he had been able to execute a “barrel roll’ and one or two other flying tricks at the beginning of his drop. He has a strip of canvas, about three feet square, sewn between the legs of his jumpers. This, he says, enables him to change direction and execute stunts by kicking his legs and holding them at varying angles. After his parachute opened he Janded unhurt in a tree. The theory that a man will be able to fly without the aid of a parachute is just a lot of hooey,” he said. He added that as far as he knew his experiment had no practical value. It was just a good stunt. Pre- viously, in February of this year, Mr. Clem Sohn, a 22-year-old parachute jumper, was reported to have flown under his own power at Daytona Beach, after dropping from an aero- plane at a height of 12,000 feet.

Water Fowl Coming Back Drought stricken areas of Southern Alberta where bird life disappeared a few years ago because of lack of food and water are being revisited by water fowl. On a lake at Truax nine blue heron were recently ob- served; also golden plover and the rare palmated species. A portable sanitary drinking foun- tain holding several gallons of water has been invented for outdoor work- ers, water being pumped through a spout so guarded that a man’s lips cannot touch it. Dr. H. W. Edwards, of the Uni- versity of California, has developed a “panco’ mirror, which reflects all colors alike. The new device is said to be 98 per cent, efficient.

In a volume entitled “Our Lords and Masters,” the anonymous author asserts that “of these 10 score po- tentates, barely 25 men rank as work rulers in their own right.” In the sphere of social behavior five he lists as masters of human conscience are: King George V., Pope — Pius XI, Leon Trotsky, the Emperor of Japan and Mahatma Gandhi. Among the more mundane political — potentates he lists as the eight out- standing world rulers: Right Hon.
