Coaticook River, elected the following directors: Messrs.George Gale, W.H.Ward, George Henderson, Charles Whitehead, A.Ewing, E.W.Akhurst and J.B, Parker.The following were the feature artists in a concert given by the Memphremagog Band, Magog: Messrs.Many Interesting Arguments Submitted in Debate \u201cResolved that Brutal Frankness Is Preferable to Extreme Politeness\u201d Staged by Young People.Cowansville, February 13.\u2014\u201cResolved that brutal frankness is preferable to extreme politeness,\u201d was subject of an interesting debate between members of the Young People\u2019s Union in the United Church parlors.The affirmative was upheld by Suzy Stowe and Gordon Badger, while that of the negative was supported by Clifford Johnston and Wendell Scott.The judges, Miss Joyce Asliness-W\u2019ells, Mr.Henri Fiset and Mr.D.McAllister, gave a majority decision in favor of the affirmative, with thirty-six and-thirty-four points respectivelyr The affirmative contended that the adjective, \u201cbrutal,\u201d in this connection did not mean cruel, because its association with the noun, \u201cfrankness,\u201d changed its meaning.As an example of the efficacy of this attitude the method used by Socrates to rouse the people of Athens from their lethargy was quoted.The lack of frankness in the Court of Louis XIV percipitated the French Revolution it was claimed.Brutal frankness is » characteristic of the English school boy and this breeds respect.A brutally frank man may have the kindliest heart under a rough exterior.The method used by the \u201cG-\u201d Men of the United States in their treatment of gangsters was the opposite of extreme politeness but much more effective.If campaigning for foreign missionaries would you describe conditions as they really are or in an endeavor to be extremely polite minimize the dangers?The former it was claimed would arouse the spirit of adventure apd reality so much to be desired.In this fast-moving world extreme politeness is impractical, and in nine cases out of ten it is insincere.The man who has the courage of his convictions is the one who achieves results, concluded the affirmative.The leader of the negative, C.Johnston, and his colleague, W.Scott, based their argument on the claims that extreme politeness in the home will make for more thoughtful, self-disciplined citizens, better social leaders; politeness is always constructive frankness, especially brutal frankness, is destructive, politeness gives, frankness demands.In the school it was claimed that brutal .frankness in dealing with a pupil below normal would destroy all possible chance of co-operative learning activity, while the opposite method would; bring encouraging results.In national relations the lack of diplomacy, courtesy and politeness was blamed for the loss of the American colonies in 1776.In poplar opinion frankness is valued for its truthfulness, but politeness is just as truthful as frankness, but it takes more mental work to exercise.An extremely polite person has a better chance to succeed ;n business, can give advice with better results, is a better 'companion, uses tact, is a better mixer, sets a better example and will be politely treated in return.SWIFT JUSTICE METED OUT IN N.Y.BATHTUB SLAYING Confessed Negro Killer of Mrs.Mary Robinson Case on Way to Electric Chair Exactly One Month

* « * Did you know that Hon.Clarence D.Howe, while born in the United States, is a descendant of Nova Scotia stock which migrated to New England\u2014that the Minister of Transport speaks Italian and Spanish with some fluency, a byproduct of his stay in the Argentine -that in the election campaign be surprised some of his Italian voters by addressing them in their own language\u2014that he is very popular with the French-Canadian members of the cabinet-.that he plays a fair game of golf\u2014that he used to be a crackerjack at bridge and won at leant one tournament prize.but doesn\u2019t find time to keep up with Culbertson in his present post.One of the many tokens of a growing tolerance among Christian bodies is the general recognition of Lent, not necessarily as a season of fasting and self-discipline, but as a sort of breathing-spell in the midst of the whirl of social engagements.Now, since Lenten observance arose out of the realization of Our Lord\u2019s forty days\u2019 sojourn in the wilderness, and the temptation He withstood in the course of it, it is surely worth our while to give it a little thought.One of the heresies of the early centuries of our era was the denial of the reality of Christ\u2019s sufferings; in fact, some proclaimed their belief that the Figure on the Cross was a mere phantom, and not a real body, with joints, nerves and sinews; and therefore immune from pain.-Even more common was the belief that He was immune from temptation.Indeed, so natural, so inevitable, was this error, that the New Testament writers thought it their duty to insist over and over again, that \u201cChrist suffered, being tempted\u201d; that \u201cHe was touched with the feeling of our infirmities, being tempt-ed in all points as wTe are, yet without sin\u201d; that the Agony in Geths-emane was real agony, and the temptation in the wilderness real temptation.It was in order still more firmly to establish this truth that the Lenten Fast was instituted; and who can deny the appropriateness of its observance?For, the sacred record leaves no room for doubt that Christ\u2019s hunger was no make-believe.That hunger symbolizes for us today the drive of the lower against the higher nature in man.In fact, that is just what temptation is, therein lies its very essence, flesh and spirit in battle array! Every age may have its special temptations, just as it has its special problems, but all this may be resolved into that one perennial universal conflict between the base and the noble instincts and desires of man.It is this that gives the old story of the Temptation its undying interest, because it is the type of a common human experience.Like Our Lord, we too are driven into the wilderness to battle with temptation.Like Him, we also must realize that duty is higher than the satisfaction of desire; that the service of God outweighs the cravings of the senses.When He quotes Moses\u2019 words\u2014 \u201cMan shall not live by bread alone\u201d \u2014He speaks as man\u2019s true representative; the perfect Man declares in behalf of all Humanity the universal human necessities, as if to say: \u201cBread cannot fully satisfy a being made in God's image; were it not so, all these desires and aspirations and importunate demands of man for spiritual realities, for Truth, and Duty, and the Eternal Value, are mere chimeras!\u201d Even Aristotle recognized this fact.He says: \u201cThe good of a being consists in the activity proper to it.\u201d Hence, for man, a rational being, that is not truely Life which bread alone con satisfy! For Man\u2014as the best and wisest in all ages have realized\u2014is Soul as well as Body, and cannot truly live with the more important side of his nature atrophied! The Story of the Temptation has a psychological interest.All life begins with sensation.The Child grasping at the new toy, wondering at the daily marvels nature presents to him, is in bondage to the senses.As he grows in wisdom and stature, he meets some test, he faces some problems, that his father or mother cannot solve for him: he must depend upon himself.Thereupon, he realizes, albeit vaguely enough, that he is an individual, with his own responsibilities to face, his own life to live.Here, then, is our first wilderness temptation\u2014that first realization of our individuality.For, in that desert place we face the same temptations Jesus mot, the tendency to think a life of worldly comfort, or of satisfied ambition, is the all-important matter, and everything else illusion! The tempter comes to every young man -or woman and says: \u201cEverybody is doing this; everybody is thinking that.Why should you be so superior and stand-offish in your thoughts and ways?\u201d Who can doubt the reality of this conflict?Happy, indeed, is he who, at the close of the struggle, can say: \u201cI will not live for bread alone, but for truth an-d duty.\u201d In so deciding, the young man travels along the same road to the very same Victory that Jesus won, long years ago, in that dark and cheerless wilderness in Palestine.Only when Truth and Duty are supreme within the soul, can the moral life have real clearness and stability.If God, then, reveals to us that something is true, it immediately becomes our duty to transmit it to our fellow-men.The Gautamas, the Mohammed.*, the Luthers, the Livingstone* of this world, the martyrs of religion, of science, and of statesmanship, are proof positive that Truth cannot be divorced from Duty ! The life of Our Lord teaches that this devotion to truth and duty almost necessarily involves sacrifice; but the very word \u201csacrifice\u201d clinches the fact that \u201cMan does not live by bread alone.\u201d The universality of sacrifice indicates a deep-seated power in man to rise on occasion to the summons of the highest in him.Our daily : papers not only reek with the sordid ( details of infamy and crime, but ! glow with the story of life yielded | up freely for Others.Yes, man does (not live by bread alone! i Of course, the lower wants must be recognized, but not as powers to cramp and bind the more lofty and : spiritual possibilities of man.Our Lord does not ask us to neglect home and work and social pleasures, or even our hobbies and sports; but He certainly does want us also to find joy in higher things.lie admits that man shall live by bread, but insists \u201cnot by bread alone!\u201d That great story of His sojourn in the Wilderness gives us an insight into Our Lord\u2019s plan of redemption.He does not free us from temptation, any more than from sorrow, pain, and death; but He does redeem us from absorption in the lower to the neglect of the higher goods, and enables us to find in and through Him the beauty of holiness, and the power of the spiritual life.BACHELORS ARE PERTURBED BY DECLINING BIRTH RATE Bachelor Member of British House of Commons Suggests Tax on Himself and Fellow-Bachelors as Means of Making Marriage and Paternity More Attractive.London, Feb.13.\u2014Perplexed les-islators\u2014bachelors all\u2014.besought the Government to do something i about the strange scarcity of girl i babies in England, j Bachelor Ronald Cartland, aged [thirty.Conservative, put the ques-j tion of posterity up to the Govern-( ment yesterday, urging it to \u201cmake | recommendations therto.\u201d ; He was particularly concerned that not enough girl babies were: being born to take their places as future British mothers, thus accelerating the declining, birth rate.\u201cWhy,\u201d asked bachelor Cartland, \u201care we having fewer children than' in the past?\u201d Quick to answer was fellow bachelor and Conservative Richard A.Pilkington.\u201cI learn with amazement and honor that even in this House there are nearly two hundred bachelors, he declared.Throughout the exchange, Arthur Hayday, member for West Nottingham and father of seventeen children, sat in silence.Cartland pointed out the birth rate in Great Britain had dropped steadily since 1875.As a solution for the problem,; Pilkington suggested a tax on him-, self and his fellow-bachelors would solve the problem by making marriage and paternity more attractive.GAS MASKS LATEST STYLE AT BRITISH TEA PARTIES Rpisied Coiffures and Disarranged Make-Up at Gas Mask Party Is Grim Reminder that Britain Must Be Prepared for War.Wimbledon, England, Feb.13.\u2014 i Four hundred feminine guests at ; the Mayoress of Wimbledon\u2019s tea party resigned themselves yesterday | to ruined coiffures and disarranged (make-up to don gas masks as a grim (reminder Britain must be prepared ; for war.Gas masks were placed above the 1 conventional tea and cakes at Mrs.G.Farquharson\u2019s novel party at [the town hall to help the Govern-[ ment popularize, precautions to bo taken against gas attacks.Even a baby was drafted to do its bit in a gas proof baby carriage, supplied with air through its mother\u2019s gas mask.j \u201cThese English women have a (sense of humor along with a deep I sense of responsibility,\u201d said Mayor-jess Farquharson of her novel \u201cAt-' Home.\u201d \u201cWhile style and vanity naturally balk at the idea of wearing the ludicrous things,\u201d she said, \u201cwe realize the necessity of being prepared for eventualities and we are anxious to promote the Government\u2019s scheme.\u201d Even Wimbledon\u2019s famous tennis court is included in the prosperous borough\u2019s plan for gas defence.It will bs an emergency ambulance depot and the spacious club rooms a clearing station for victims.\u201cWe will only use the centre court as a last resort, however,\u201d the Mayoress, a tennis enthusiast, declared.Mother\u2014Marilyn, were you a good little girl at church today?Marilyn\u2014Yes, mother.A.man offered me a big plate of money, and I said: \u201cNn, thank you.\u201d They promised that job on time Next time try us and you won\u2019t be disappointed.Pags-Sangster Printing Co.Ltd.Telephones 467-463 16 ALBERT STREET\tSHERBROOKE, QUE SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1037.PACE FIVE ,'i.ü ËMk |i ET LAST DAY- Greta Garbo, Robert Taylor, Lionel Barrymore, in \u201cCAMILLE.\u201d Glenda Farrell, Barton MacLane, Winifred Shaw, in \u201cSMART BLOND.\u201d Flood Disaster.Exclusive pictures of the Ex-King and Others.CITY BRIEFLETS \u201cFor the love of Mike.\u201d Bargains at Kinkead\u2019s.STARTING TOMORROW The Greatest\t\tTwo Big Dill in\t\tHeadline Months.\t\tAttractions.The Most Thrilling Entertainment the Screen Could Offer.Breath-taking in Its Action .YTbrant in Its Romance.Unforgettable in Its Power.SEE The Surrender of the British Army to the Gallant Montcalm in \u201cTHE LAST OF THE MOHICANS\u201d with a Perfect Cast Including Randolph Scott, Binnie Barnes, Henry Wilcoxon, Bruce Cabot, Heather Angel, Philip Reed, Robert Rarat, Hugh Buckler.\u2014 2nd Special Attraction \u2014 THE GAYEST FUN-SHOW OF THE NEW SEASON!

Again Paralyzed Unless Enforcement of Copeland Act Is Delayed.San Francisco, Feb.13.\u2014 The threat of another shipping strike, growing out of union opposition to a federal hiring law, hung today over United States Pacific ports, jus: recovering from a ninety-eight day tie-up that cost an estimated Ç68G,-000,000.Officials of three unions involved in the recent strike telegi-aphed President Roosevelt and Secretary of Commerce Roper that shipping \u201cwill again be paralyzed from the Pacific Coast\u2019\u2019 unless enforcement of the Copeland Act is delayed.Specifically what action the unions would take was not stated.Some union workers have threatened \u201csit-down\u2019\u2019 strikes if enforcement is begun before union leaders present proposed amendments to the billl.The Act provides that seamen must carry books showing records of their employment and ability.Sponsors contend it will protect efficient workers and assure them of jobs.The unions declare it furnishes employers information from which they can blacklist men for union activity.Enforcement of the provision for grading a seaman's ability has been suspended until February 20.Union officials asked last night that the date be extended to March 25.They said the U.S.Shipping Commissioner here, acting on Washington instructions, had informed shipowners and union?no articles would bo approved unless crews accepted the discharge books, \u201cIf the Shipping Commissioner persists in this stand it means that foreign and intercoastal commerce will again be paralyzed from the Pacific Coast,\u201d said the telegram to President Roosevelt.URGE REHOfJU.OF CROSSINGS ON NEW ROUTE Farnham Board of Trade Adopts Resolution Similar to that of Cowansville Organization in Connection with EHminaticn cf Three
