tribute to a man who has given much time and labor to the administrative problems of the City over an extended period.But not only is the selection a worthy one from the point of view of Alderman Bryant's long service on the City Council but his record as an Alderman indicates that he will bring to the office of Chief Magistrate that broad vision and ability which is required for the proper performance of these functions.\t» A life-long resident of Sherbrooke, Alderman Bryant has been the executive head of an important industrial organization and has also found time to take an active part in many other public organizations aside from the City Council.The election of Alderman Bryant to the post of mayor by acclamation would be a courtesy which the citizens could well pay to a man who has served them well and would also mean the continuation of a tradition of long standing whereby the post of mayor revolved between members of the two races.THE THRONE SPEECH The greatest single item in the Speech from the Throne read at the opening of the Quebec Legislature yesterday is the paragraph which promises that the Government will introduce at the current session measures designed to relieve the critical financial position of the school boards.The matter of financing education 1ms been a critical one for several years past, with the position deteriorating each year as the gap between expenditures widened.If the Royal Commission recently named by the Government has arrived at some scheme for the solution of these problems, the legislation might well loom as one of the most important measures ever passed in the history af the Province.The decision to create a Youth Ministry to develop the opportunities for the young people of the Province is also praiseworthy, although it means a further addition to the administrative machinery of the Province.Nevertheless the importance of proper care and guidance fôr the youth of this Provinoe is the first concern of the Government, and Mr, Duplessis is to be congratulated for taking this step.The Federal Government would do well to follow\u2019 his lead.The other measures hinted at in the Address are for the most part of a nature which compels delay in giving a decision.Like so many items contained in Throne Speeches they reveal their importance only when the measures are actually introduced into the Legislature.Otherwise they are only conjecture.THE ARGENTINE CRISIS LOOMS Washington information that there has been i further deterioration in the relations between the United States and the Argentine is in no way turprising when the friction between the two nations over a period of years is reviewed.Before the outbreak of the Second Great War, Argentina and her neighbors on this continent found it difficult to get along.The Argentine Government was frankly of Nazi tendencies and was actively, if unofficially pro-German.The other Western Hemisphere nations were more or less democratic and pro-AJlied.Thus, when the Pan-American Conference organized its mutual defence treaty, Argentine support was purely nominal and adjoining states were loud in their complaints that in reality, the Argentine Republic was going as far as possible in its assistance to the Axis and was doing everything to sabotage the agreement.These complaints received the active endorsement of the United States Government, which from time to time has released verbal and documentary blasts against the general attitude of the South American nation.This campaign reached its culmination with the publication by the State Department at Washington in which a story of Axis-Argentine collaboration was y^ced.On the old principle that the truth hurts, Argentine politicians are waxing indignant at the publication and seek to leave the impression that Washington is seeking to interfere in the domestic political affairs of Argentina.But the grim fact remains that the Germans hare gained a strong foothold, economically and politically, in Argentina and there are good reasons to support the oft-expressed concern le*t they use this country as a basis for reorganising themselves in a new effort to dominate the world a few years hence.ST.VALENTINE\u2019S DAY St.Valentine\u2019s Day has become an event of major importance in the world calendar, but it is doubtful if the average observer of tile faast could explain its origin.All the information available indicate* that far back in Hie third century there lived a certain Valentinus who, if the Roman legend holds good, wag a worker of miracles.But just how this merest crumb of history catches on with the gay and tender token* which bedeck this popular festival, which is being observed today, is difficult to say.But, to be brutally frank, it i* doubtful if anybody cares a snap about the origin of 9t.Valentine\u2019s Day.It is just one of those happy little incidents which posterity has preserved to bring joy and happiness into the lives of this and succeeding generations.From a religious viewpoint there is really no importance attached to St.Valentine\u2019s Day, yet such an occasion puts a little color in a dralb world and the world could ill-afford to abandon such an observance, especially in the present troublesome times.Events which bring joy and happiness are all too few and the world has need for love and laughter.It is by entering into the spirit of such an occasion as St.Valentine\u2019s Day that people can forget their cares and worries and keep themselves young in spirit.Thus if it keeps the heart of humanity young, St, Valentine\u2019s Day will have served a useful purpose.'What Does ft Profit a Mon\u2014?\u2019 CM.GoovY/ A m&.! NOW WE CAN GET MARRiEP/ UTILITIES AND THE WAR EFFORT One of the major factors in the tremendous expansion of Canadian industry during war years wag the ability of the manufacturing concerns to obtain large additional quantities of electric power with little or no delay.The readiness with which this power was available is a tribute to the Canadian utility companies and their policy of keeping their generating capacity substantially ahead of the predictable requirements.This feature is dealt with in the annual report of the Shawinigan Water and Power Company, which declares that without the important supplies of readily-available electric power, Canada\u2019s industrial participation in the war effort would have been greatly restricted, At the outbreak of the war the installed capacity of the Company's plants, including power available from other sources under long term contracts, was 947,639 horsepower, while the Arm peak demand was in the vicinity of 725,000 horsepower, giving the company a reserve of approximately 200.000 horsepower.Substantial as these reserves were, however, they failed bo meet the entire war swollen demand and various new installations undertaken increased the capacity of the company bo 1,089,639 horsepower.In addition a number of high tension transmission lines and an underground cable system across the City of Montreal were constructed to link the various major power producers of the Province so that the most efficient use could be made of all power generated.The manner in which the Canadian utility companies met the demands made upon them by war conditions was a matter of common knowledge although the extent of this task is being made known only now, the pressure of wartime secrecy preventing these companies from informing their shareholders and the public of the difficult problems which confronted them./ A $ M % J Coma MAPËRA PRESS COMMENTS TIMELY COMMENTS THE GROWTH OF INSURANCE Interesting sidelights on the expansion of the insurance business is Canada are contained in the seventy-fifth annual report of the Sun Life Assurance Company.According to Arthur B.Wood, the president of the organization, a few years after the establishment of the company in 1871, the total insurance in force in the Dominion averaged only $20 per head of population, while today the average insurance protection is in the neighborhood of $850.The maintenance of this insurance is an important item in itself towards the continuation of economic stability in the Dominion.This is the prime purpose of an insurance company \u2014 to provide such protection as is possible against the vicissitudes of existence.But they also perform another important duty.Through the mobilization of their policyholders' contributions, the life insurance companies of Canada have been a major factor in the financing of the war effort.In the case of the Sun Life, over one-half of its total assets of $1.250.000,000 dollars are invested in Dominion and other bond issues of allied governments.Thus one company alone has contributed approximately $650,000,000 to the financing of various governmental activities, As a producer of foreign exchange the Canadian companies are also important, over two-thirds of the business of the Sun being written outside of the Dominion.A WORTHY PRINCIPAL Toronto Globe and Mail As the years went by, after the First Great War, it was frequently charged that the veteran was neglected.In the days of the depression tens of thousands of former combatants were out of work and the golden promises of both parties were lost to view.The chance to repair this broken faith, for the new generation of veterans at least, has been seized by Maj-Gen.E.L, M.Burns, now director-general of rehabilitation, in the Department of Veterans\u2019 Affairs, and formerly the commander of the 1st Canadian Corps in Italy.In a speech at Ottawa, on Wednesday, he laid down his personal view on the responsibility of the Government toward the unemployed veterans.He is reported to have said that between 40,-0 and 50,000 veterans are listed as \u201cunplaced applicants\u2019\u2019 for jobs.So long as any veteran is unemployed, he thinks, \u201cwe cannot say rehabilitation is complete; in fact, while veterans are employed at low wages at tasks below their capabilities, rehabilitation is not satisfactory.\u201d Such an all-inclusive principle as Geu Burns laid down provides hopes that, in the event of another depression, the veterans will not be forgotten.Though the general spoke only for himself, and his department is, therefore, not necessarily bound by his views, it would be most encouraging if the Government were to accept his policy as its own.If there are any Canadians who have a special right to be protected from unemployment, or from being forced into employment unsuited to their fullest ability, they are the ones who fought for Canada, If a policy of enlightenment and responsibility such as Gen.Biirns ihas outlined can he established on the terms he made, then the likeli-Ihood of repetition of broken faith land unfulfilled promises will be much reduced.The safest guaran-1 tee.of course, is the vigilance and determination of the grateful citizens of the country at large.If they remember, the Government will not forget.Wonder what our Mr.lisley, the well known conqueror of inflation, is thinking up for this year?\u2014Brandon Sun.Do You Kn.w?Among all the current: generalissimos, Francisco Franco is at the bottom of the popularity poll.\u2014 Stratford Beacon-Herald.Now that a western landlord was guest at a tenants\u2019 party we are prepared to hear of some town banquetting the income tax collector.\u2014Toronto Telegram.\u201cPint-Size Office Girl Throws Riotoue Sailor Down Stairs\" says a headline.He wasn\u2019t the first sailor to take on a pint too much.\u2014 Peterborough Examiner.In naming a mountain after Ike Eisenhower, Canada has honored the mountain.\u2014 Detroit Free Press.Snappers are put on purses so that women will have something to do at the movies.\u2014Kitchener Record.Then if the radio sa ye something nice about you, you can\u2019t clip it out and paste it in your album.\u2014 Brandon Sun.Frank Sinatra is said to have been advised by doctors to quit crooning.That is sound advice.\u2014 Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph.The man with lumbago said, as he climbed out of his chair, \u201cIt\u2019s this getting up that gets me down,\u201d\u2014Detroit Free Press.Canada produces 20 per cent of the world's cured fish\u2014not counting those produced by some oil stock salesmen.\u2014Chatham News.near future, remember the accentuated lawlessness is your problem as much as anyone\u2019s.Do what you can to relegate some of these punks to the little stone house on the hill.Q\u2014Do stare in the American flag represent particular states?A\u2014No.Congress, decided in 1818 that stars represei :ed the number of states, not particular states.However, there is a popular belief that the star in the upper left-hand corner represents Delaware, first to ratify , ee Constitution.* \u2022 \u2022 Q\u2014What is vermiculite\u2019 A\u2014A mineral ore used n building insulation and as a substitute for sand in cement and pl'ster.A deposit of several million ms hae been discovered near 1 ncamp-ment, Wyo._ \u2022 « * Q\u2014When did the Japan so first attack China to start the \u201cChina incident\"?A\u2014July 7, 1937, at th Marco Polo bridge across the Yu g Ting River, 20 miles southwest of Peiping.\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 Q\u2014'Do the number of r ties on a rattlesnake indicate the snake\u2019s age?A\u2014'Not reliably, since rattles wear off.Usually tier is mu'Cih older than th would indicate.* * * Q\u2014What is the latest method of de-fleaing dog's?A\u2014-Putting DDT in th soap.It was tried on 12 1c g-hair-ed dogs in London, and t e fleas died prompaly and none : peared later.* * * Q\u2014Is there an applica bn for statehood before U.S.Co press?A\u2014Yes, Hawaii\u2019s.Ha\\ lii has been campaigning for s tehood for 40 years.* * * Q\u2014What island\u2014the only such in the -world\u2014is the home land of two sovereign nations?A\u2014Haiti.Nations are Haiti and the Dominican Republic.* * * Q\u2014W'ho tyere Shem, Ham and Japheith?A\u2014Triplet sons of Noah.ith age ne rat-rattles r bath BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY A fool also i* full of word*: a man oannof tell what shall be;
