Gunboat Ladybird States that Japanese High Commander Was Unable to Identify Nationality of Vessel-Jap Press Lauds Amicable Settlement of Panay Incident.Fall Of Rich Chinese City Imminent *- Tokyo, December 28.\u2014Foreign Minister Koki Hirota tonight delivered to Sir Robert Craigie, British Ambassador, Japan\u2019s reply to the protest against the Japanese attack on the British gunboat Ladybird.The text of the note was not made public, but the military section of Imperial headquarters issued a statement saying that the attack was a \u201cmistake\u201d and expressing regrets.One British sailor was killed in the attack.The military section's explanation follows:-On December 11th a Japanese detachment, anxious to aid in the capture of Nanking, crossed the Yangtse River north of Taiping and advanced towards Pukow.Because of a previous warning, they thought foreign nationals had evacuated the zone of fighting.Observing more than ten large steamers fleeing up-river, the Japanese High Commander believed them to be retreating enemy forces and ordered the artillery to fire on them; but the shells did not react! the ships, which escaped.Thereupon he ordered Japanese units at Wuhi to attack them.A detachment, after a forced night march, opened fire on four large * steamers.Observing the steamers ANGLO-IRISH COAL-CATTLE AGREEMENT RENEWED London.Dec.28.\u2014Renewal of the Anglo-Irish coal-cattlc agreement was announced today.The Free State fixed its quota of British coal at 3.113,000 tons for the period from January 1st.1938, to February 28th, 1939.The arrangements, first made two years ago, served to ameliorate the economic war between the two countries, begun when President Eamon de Valera\u2019s Government withheld land annuity payments due the United Kingdom.The British Government retaliated by collecting the money due in increased tariffs on Irish goods.ss #§!ii The fall of the rich Chinese manufacturing port of Tsingtao (shown above) to

British troops and armed Arab bands.0 Paris, Dec.28.\u2014Maurice Ravel, composer of the \u201cBolero\u201d and other musical works, died here today.Ho was sixty-two years old.His death followed a serious intestinal operation two weeks ago.His physician, Dr.Clovis Vincent, his brother, Edouard Ravel, and other members of his family were at his bedside.Born March 7, 1875, at Ciboure, Basses-Pyrenees, Ravel succeeded better than almost any contemporary figure of equal status in keeping his private life strictly private.As a pupil at the Paris Conservatory, then under the stern direction of Theodore Dubois, he was \u201cdeliberately bantering, argumentative and somewhat distanct,\u201d according to a description of him given by Alfred Cortot, his disciple.Although he frequently appeared at musical events.Ravel remained \u201cdistant\u201d all his life, and even his most intimate friends knew little of his private affairs.Indeed, he managed to keep even his place of residence a secret for many years.Musical reference books give his address as Villa Belvedere, Montfort-l-Amaury, but anyone who called or telephoned there was invariably informed by the composer\u2019s devoted old retainer that \u201cMonsieur isn\u2019t here.\u201d The servant spoke the truth.Ravel never really lived at the Villa Belvedere, residing instead in a small hotel here in a quiet street of the St.Lazare quarter \u2014 the Hotel Athens on the Rue d\u2019Athenes.This was accidentally revealed only a few years ngo when Ravel was slightly injured in a taxicab mishap.\u201cI do not want my music interpreted,\u201d Ravel said once to a virtuoso who asked advice.\u201cIt is enough to play it.\u201d For his motto.Ravel took a little known expression of Chopin: \u201cNothing is more detestable than music without thought behind it.\u201d In 1933, when Ravel was asked to comment on the 100th anniversary of the death of Chopin, he said: \u201cNo, I have nothing to say.precisely because I am a musician.If 1 were not a musician, I should perhaps find something to say to you.\u201d In a letter to the Novelist Jules Renard in 1907, Ravel said: \u201cMy aim is to say in music what you have said in words.I think and feel in music.There is instinctive, sentimental music, like mine, and then there is intellectual music, like that of Vincent D\u2019Indy.\u201d In 1914 the secret influence dominating his entire life was revealed with the performance of his \u201cTombeau dc Couperin,\u201d written in tribute at once to the great 17th and 18th-century French composer Francois Couperin and to the memory of ycung Frenchmen who had died in their country\u2019s defence.When the \u201cVaises Nobles et Sentimentales\u201d were first played by Louis Aubert in 1911, they were presented without a composer\u2019s credit line, and some critics attributed them to Ravel's old adversary, Dubois.Born in the French Basque country, Ravel had a unique understanding of the Spanish character, yet he was the most Drench of contemporary French composers.His purest works were written on typically French themes \u2014 \u201cDaphnis et Chine,\u201d \u201cMa Mere l'Oye,\u201d \u201cL\u2019Enfant et les Sortileges,\u201d \"Gaspard de la London, Dec.28.\u2014The New Year means the end of Coronation year.And that is perhaps a thought as welcome as it is restful for the people of the United Kingdom.It was a zealous business, a time of strain as well as celebration, a time of subdued anxiety.The events of December, 1936, moved quickly, so quickly that the world marvelled at the steadfast pace of a people who changed their king overnight.But the Abdication Act in itself was not the be-all and the end-all, and for weeks after in every home in every country men reflected on the significance of December 10.Edward\u2019s leaving had not been publicly anticipated in England as in America, and it was not until after the tide had swept away precedent and monarch that the average man delved deeply into the problems that had for weeks obsessed the Prime Minister and the unhappy king.More than the usual New Years resolutions occupied the Englishman on January 1, 1937.Ho was in the throes of reasoned articles by nro-minent writers in the daily oress and in the reviews setting forth with varying detail but nearly unanimous viewpoint the case of Edward VIII vs.The People.The year gathered pace rapidly.Discussion resolved into predominant agreement that all had been for the host, and yet unbridled rumor of the new king\u2019s ill health, of differences in the cabinet, of Edward\u2019s future.led the controversy down new and varying lanes.These petty alarms proved baseless but.served nevertheless to temper the strengthening Coronation spirit with nervous strains.Feeling for Edward died harder, perhaps, than the press chose to admit.\u201cThe Prince of Wales, God bless \u2019im,\u201d had been something more than Prince of Wales in the hearts of hundreds of thousands.And vet his popularity was preserved at only small expense to the respect and admiration for the new king.George VI made no ostentatious appeal for support yet in his itawa, Dec, 28.\u2014Members of the ] available it was evident that Mr.| Francoeur had topped the record of I 4,380 majority amassed by his pre-1 decessor, the late J.A.Verville, overj his Conservative, opponent in the 1835 general election.Mr.Vervilie's majority until last night was the greatest ever given by the riding which has returned a Liberal in every contest since Confederation.Y\u2019esterday\u2019s was the sixteenth bye-election since 1935 and the result has left the Government standin Government remaining in Ot tawa during the holiday expressed satisfaction today in the success of J.N.Francoeur, Liberii candidate in the Lotbiniere bye-election.In the return of Mr.Francoeur yesterday with a large majority Prime Minister Mackenzie King saw \u201cfurther

pul aside talk of war and armaments today.The bye-election that brought the war question to their firesides was over, with Joseph N.Francoeur established as their House of Commons representative by a record majority.Tile possibility oil Canada becoming enmeshed in foreign conflict was the pivotal issue of the campaign that closed at the polls yesterday with the veteran Liberal the victor over young Paul Bouchard, Quebec City publisher.The thirty-year-old Bouchard, Independent Nationalist, had insisted federal armaments expenditures were paving the way for war; his opponent denied it.The electorate, choosing between only the two candidates, spoke decisively.With the returns missing from three of the County\u2019s 107 polls, Fnmcoeur\u2019s unofficial majority was ii, 102, the heaviest ever given a Federal candidate in Lotbiniere.The figure was substantially better than the previous high majority of 5,380 given J.A.Verville, Liberal, in the 1935 general election.Vervilie\u2019s death a few weeks ago opened the seat for yesterday\u2019s contest.Individual figures were not, available today.When the returning officers closed shop for the night, fifty-six polls put the Liberal ahead by 5,076 to 2,365.The result left Lotbiniere in the same political column it bad occupied! since Confederation.In the twenty-one federal elections in the riding since 1867, none but Liberals have gone to the Commons for the big county on the south shore of the Si.Lawrence.Many Drove Through Deep Snow To Polls.Though the total vote was unavailable, it was believed a heavy turnout of voters cast ballots.Most of the farmers drove through deep snow by horse and sleigh.The cold weather forced some of the county\u2019s womenfolk, who have the franchise in federal elections only, to stay by their stoves.The contest was orderly.After ths election was conceded, within two hours of the close, supporters of the victorious former Speaker of the Quebec Legislature and Provincial Continued on

early production with total annual consumption of 2.500.000\tcords of wood, and that in half the South existing industries were already using more wood than is replaced by growth.1 The five-day

are unknown, a discussion by the newspaper of United States-Japanese relations follow-ing the bombing of the gunboat Panay.The newspaper said Washington had \u201cliquidated\u201d the Panay incident because \u201creally nothing can be done against Japan.\u201d the working force necessary.\u201d He explained that the General Motors plants would operate on a three day a week basis, each operating a total of twenty-four hours a week.That will be the working schedule for those employees who are retained.¦ ¦ The insects of this Utopia were bottle flies and gall wasps.They didn\u2019t seem to mind their queer en vironmeirt.Reyniers said the Notre Dame ob jective was to perfect this new tool so that other scientists could use it.Elsewhere, he stated, it was already being put to work to try to find whether tooth decay was due to germs in part or wholly, as some scientists believe.Its use has been suggested for solving some of the puzzels of plant fertilizers and for the production of pure anti-bodies, which are nature\u2019s natural protection in the human body against disease.Through numerous hunting licenses given to white trappers the Indian is steadily being pushed into low morale, poor health and impoverishment, Godsell, who has trekked from Labrador to Alaska and learned to speak six native dialects, declared.\u201cI know of Indian families thirty years ago who took pride in their ability to derive a living from forests and the stream and be as they thought independent of white men,\u201d Godsell said.\u201cToday, I\u2019ve seen those same families brought to utter destitution by inroads of white trappers and depletion of areas in which they hunted.\u201d Godsell explained the fifty thousand Indian men.women and children up north had fifteen thousand breadwinners whose primitive mode of huting could p it match the \u2018white man\u2019s mechanical bird nor bis other tricks of obtaining a living from animals of northern woods and the fish-lined streams.One of these \u201cdiabolical\u201d tricks in trade, was use of poison.In season 1935-36, he said, 23,681 hunting and trapping licenses were issued to white trappers in Quebec, Ontario, western provinces and the Northwest Territories.\u201cMany of these white men used Vatican City, Dec.28.\u2014Pope Pius\u2019 remarkable recovery from an illness which the world feared would have a fatal outcome overshadowed other Vatican developments during 1937, As the year neared its close, however, the eighty year old Pontiff repeatedly intimated his conviction that the time was not far off when he would have to \u201crender an accounting to the Maker.\u201d Despite this belief, he persistently refused to spare himself and carried on his usual activities to the point where he often showed signs of fatigue.The Pope himself attributed his almost miraculous recovery to the intercession of St.Therese of the Infant Jesus.Thus, when a new basilica was dedicated in July at Lisieux, France, he attested his gratitude to the \u201cLittle Flower\u201d by sending his Secretary of State, Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, to represent him at the ceremony.Almost before his physicians were certain he was out of immediate danger, the Holy Father had not only resumed his administrative activities but had actually redoubled them, disquieted as he was by the menacing turn world affairs were taking.In March he gave to the world three ringing encyclicals\u2014on Communism, on the Church\u2019s position in Germany, and on the persecution of Catholics in Mexico.These were the first of a series of Vatican rebukes to extremist creeds.In his March encyclicals, \u2022 while renewing his assault on Communism, the Pope did not hesitate to attack Naziism insofar as it was heading toward idolatry of the state and paganism.In September, in his.encyclical of the Rosary, the Pope returned to attack, denouncing social injustice as the root of class war and heaping equal disapproval on Communist doctrines and on those forces which professed to fight the \u201cred peril\u201d by invoking pagan concepts in violation of all \u201cdivine and human\u201d law.Again, on Christmas Eve, when he held his annual reception for members of the College of Cardinals, he protested against the German Government\u2019s treatment of Catholic priests and declared the church-state Minister.Hirota\u2019s report to the Emperor on the attack, which occurred on the Yanktze River on the same day the United States gunboat Panay was sent to the bottom by Japanese bombs, included the Government\u2019s measures of amicable settlement with Great Britain.Hail Panay Settlement.While final disposition of eight years, had asked \u201capproval of the policy of the present Government at

directly rendered to j them, such as light, gas, etc., and j they contribute nothing whatever to 1 the improvement of the city, whereas the property-owner is the one who j is called upon to pay for all perma- ' nent improvements within the city limits such as paving, sidewalks, water connections, sewerage, an 1 j even for the water consumption in tenement houses.From this it will I be seen, therefore, that the property- ! owner is the foundation upon which any city is built, and as such he is entitled to every consideration when it is a question of spending large sums from the municipal treasury, or, what is perhaps worse, the pledging of future revenues for some time to come to pay for any such loans made.It is very difficult to understand why property-owners do not give more attention to the referendum voting on such large loans, as w.ll be seen from the last report of the voting on the loan of $210,000.00 which has just been approved.Those property-ownei Manufacturing

such questions, and much less vote thereon.This is the most dangerous display of apathy and indifference on the part of the property-owner, and one which should bo corrected with the leas; possible delay, if the City of Sherbrooke is to be kept in the good financial status which we now enjoy and not allowed to degenerate into r.ear-bankruptcy.Numerous are the municipalities and the cities which are or have been in the ruinous state of bankruptcy, and this pan be directly attributed Lo the Indifference of the property-owner.who is really speaking, the shareholder in the community, and should sec to i; that the best of administration is conducted at all times, monies expended wisely, borrowings judiciously made, and such revenues directed towards the improvement of the city: in the best possible manner.The City of Sherbrooke is fortun- ! .ate in having at the present time a very good council, whose interests are those of the property-owners, but for this reason, if for that one j only, vigilance on the part of property-owners collectively is your guarantee that such good condition?prevail.Applying the ordinary rules of psychology, if you will, human ; nature possesses that very undesirable trait of following the line of least resistance, am] you will find this condition prevalent where no supervision is exercised and no interest shown by the property-owners in the good ndminis, ration of their own affairs, the city where they hold real estate.If you wil^ consult the record of the vote which was east for the last referendum which took place on December 23, you will find that only 574 prop'-rty-owners in the entire city of Sherbrooke took the troubles to go to the polls.The large majority of the other property-owners evidently did not consider it necessary to express their approv-jal or disapproval of a loan for a mere quarter-million dollars.The re-I suit of the voting is therefore not I stimulation of greater interest m the administration of our city, which is primarily their city, I will consider this short period of broadcasting very well spent in their interests, A sustained in to rest jn civic problems should ever be the veatch-word.and serve as your guarantee that the very best of administration null always obtain, so that the Queen City of the Eastern Townships will continue to be looked up to, instead of being looked down upon.As the Sherbrooke Chamber of Commerce will not have the opportunity of again addressing you before the advent of the new year, as president of that body may I express to you otir heartfelt wishes for a very

Christ, the Son of God, cleanseth us from all sin.\u2014John 1, 7, Lotbiniere Remains Liberal.The result of the voting in yesterday's bye-election in Lotbiniere County, with its pronounced Libérai victory, is no surprise.Paul Bouchard, young publisher of a Quebec City weekly, running as an Independent Nationalist, suffered a decisive defeat, when his policy of \"No war.no armaments for Canada, and greater autonomy for Quebec\u201d was denounced and rejected.The verdict is not one of local significance, but is further evidence of the saneness of Quebec voters and the unity of the people.From time to time one hears rumors and talk of separatism and greater autonomy for Quebec, but when the matter comes to a head the people are found to cling to the old traditions and customs.The victory in Lotbiniere is also a mark of confidence in the Liberal administration at Ottawa.It is gratifying to see that the electors of Lot-j binier have not been misled by appeals to prejudice or to sectional interest.They have, as Premier King remarked in a post-election speech, \u201cvoted as Cana-dians, placing the national interest before all else.They have given no countenance to new and un- ; natural alliances which threaten the unitv of, Canada.\u201d The welfare of Canada as a whole is foremost in the minds of all at an election time.There might be a tendency towards provincialism at times but with the majority this is secondary when the good of the nation as a whole is at stake.The electors of Lotbiniere have done just what might be expected in any other county or part of Canada.They have registered their support of Canadian unity and their rejection of all movements which threaten the unitv of the nation.A Gardener In Words.The Record is happy to announce to its readers that, beginning Monday, January 3rd, a series of weekly articles will appear from the gifted pen of Grenville Kleiser, many of whose writings have already been published in our columns.Mr.Kleiser devotes his busy pen to writing j books, poems, editorials, letters of counsel, and answering questions about personal problems.Notwithstanding his prodigious output, the quality never lags.He is a leisurely, outdoor writer, who refuses to be hurried.He styles himself \u201cA Gardener in Words.\u201d Mr.Kleiser was formerly instructor in public speaking at Yale Divinity School, Yale University, and other institutions.He organized and conducted large speaking clubs for men and women in New York City, London, England, and other cities.Elbert Hubbard dedicated his last \u201cLittle Journey\u201d to Mr.Kleiser, in which he said: \u201cGrenville Kleiser is distinctive, yet friendly and approachable.He will never be an old man, if he lives to be a hundred, for he will carry with him the receptive mind, the hospitable heart, and with him forever there will be the perfume of the morning and the lavish heart of youth.\u201d These Monday messages from Mr.Kleiser, we feel confident, will meet with general approval and that many of them will find their way into the scrapbooks of Record readers.PRESS COMMENTS TIMELY COMMENTS PERHAPS (Montreal Gazette) A party of ten boys, sons of British ex-service men who fought against the Germans, ha^e returned to London from a visit to Germany, where they had been the guests oi the Reich League of Ex-Service Men, the president of which, Colonel Rheinhardt, extended the invitation.Captain Roy Briegel, who accompanied the boys, reports that hospitality was showered upon them from ah sides and that they lived with German families, joined in the German youths\u2019 games and attended their schools.When the British boys left, there were parting tears at the station.perhaps the visit of the boys will have greater effect in the way of international friendship than ever visits of heads of states.Many a time when a lady appears pensive she is really just planning to be very expensive.\u2014Memphis Commercial Appeal.Our idea of a

authoritative Italian writers have indicated' that \u201cother nations will not lose time waiting for a multiplied British force to be ready to put itself at the disposal of a future peace.\u201d In other words, before the British re-armament programme is completed, something is going to break.It is evident that what the Italians and Germans are learning about the British re-armament plans is the cause of uneasiness.The British foreign policy of passivity, one without bluster is getting under the Fascist skin.Britain, they say, is only waiting, and is also taking all the pin-pricks- which can be administered.Some of that is true, but British re-armament is basically for peace, to make the British arm sufficiently strong to enforce a fair peace, not the Laiian or the German kind.What Mussolini\u2019s organ-grinders fail to perceive at the moment is that right today Britain is far from weak.The money is there, the men are there, and the spirit of the people is wholly behind the government.If the Berlin-Rome axis commits an outrage against world opinion, they will find that Britain and France will not fail in defence.You only have four days to make those New Year's

Long since had ceased the drifting, starred display i Of patterned snow-flake in their soft downflow.\u2019Where silver-?.ceted winter\u2019» tremolo Of winds shook out a glint like star; astray Down the wild night, a luminous array 1 Of icicles flashed out their blue flambeaux.There iced in silence in its gla-s.y roof A hidden river tinkled to itself Through all blue days and through ail purple nights Of winter.In its palace, music-proof, The unheard tune along the leaning shelf Of frozen shore flowed on in ice-dimmed lights.\u2014Margaret S.Homer, A GOOD HUSBAND WEAR\u2019S WELL FOR PERIOD OF SEVENTY-FOUR YEARS (Stratford Beacon-Hcrald) Here\u2019s a true story to confound the pessimists who despair of home happiness and marital success.And : it comes from the Central Ontario .hamlet of Bloomfield \u2014 where its cheering details can be checked by the doubting.Mr.and Mrs.Peter Maybce have been married for seventy-four years.\u201cHe\u201d is ninety-five and \u201cshe\u201d is i ninety-three.Four years before the then existent provinces of Canada joined forces to make a \u201cDominion\u201d \u2014that is, in 1863\u2014the hero and heroine of this domestic idyl \u201cjoined : hands to make a living.\u201d The words are the bride\u2019s.The lucky bride, perhaps we should say.For Mrs.Maybee, after seventy-four years with Mr.Maybee gives him a grand testimonial.Says \u2022he: \u201cHe\u2019s been a good and kind : husband.I wish every woman could get as good a man as I did.\u201d | We think that is a most refreshing variation from the usual clatter ' about \u201cgetting a lemon\u201d at the .marriage market.The bride was a first-class picker j of a model husband.She has never j seen him smoke- o we can safely a ume that Peter Maybee never did j woo the Lady Nicotine.She has never heard him utter a profane-word -and no one given to loose-language could go for seventy-four years without one little slip of the tongue in the presence of his better haif.Ju-t once did Mrs.Maybee wonder if her husband was going to spoil she record.But he had the answer for that, too \u2014and so did she.As newly-weds, the Maybee went, down to New York.And there it was that the bride made the discovery that her husband drank beer! But\u2014 priceless; salvation\u2014he had the best reasons.Mr.Maybee \u201cquaffed the suds\u201d onlv as a safety measure\u2014 for New York\u2019s drinking water was bad! Did Mrs.Maybee take any chances of Mr.Maybee acquiring a taste for beer?She did not.To use her own words, she \u201cswitched him to buttermilk.\u201d And\u2014surely the perfection of a perfect story\u2014\u201cthere he stayed.\u201d We have a suspicion that Mrs.Maybee has been a marvelous manager of a fine husband.She is quite obviously also a characteristic mother\u2014the personification of that mother-love which is unchanged by the passing years.Here is the proof.The Maybees have a son seventy-three years old.He resides in the United States, and, being a dutiful son, he writes home regularly.Only-mothers of absent children can realize how much those letters mean\u2014 or will fully appreciate how her : seventy-three year old son\u2019s correspondence affects his ninety-three year old mother.We\u2019ll let Mrs.Maybee tell it.Listen: \u201cIt seems funny getting letters from him and thinking about him as my boy\u2014and he is seventy-three.I often smile about it.\u201d And all mothers smile with you, Mrs.Maybee.They know that age has nothing to do with your memories of that first-born son of yours.He\u2019s still your little boy of 186-Î, when God\u2019s divinest gift of motherhood blessed your household.In mothers\u2019 hearts their sons never do grow up.The story would be complete could we tell vou how deeply that fortunate son loves his mother, and how tenderly Peter Maybee at ninety-five looks upon his ninety-three year old wife\u2014and still sees in her ail :he lovable qualities that made her his wise choice of a life partner in those far-off days now gone beyond recall.But, on second thought, need we conjecture?The record speaks for itself.The moral is manifest.Mr.and Mrs, Maybee and their son are the living proofs of the unlimited happiness that rules where virtue is the hand-maiden of faith.VISCOUNT HALIFAX (New York Post) The Right Honorable Sir Edward .Fred,sick Lindley Wood, Baron Irwin, Viscount Halifax has more in ! common with the ex-ruler of Germany than the present ruler.Like , Wilhelm II, he was born with a : withered lef: forearm and no left hand.Not likely to sympathize with i high Nazis on religious issues because he inherited a mystical, almost fanatic piety, and leads the Anglican laymen who urge reunion with Rome.; Hi?consuming interests arc summed up in his two books: a life of | the Anglo-Catholic Keble and (in ! collabora'ion with the ultra-imper-j :aiist Lord Lloyd) a treaties on : keeping the Empire in tact.His ex-! tensive estâtes in Yorkshire, but ! cares nothing for hunting either fox j or pheasant; goes to agricultural i shows to see vrha: his tenants grow.In 1869 a Hindu seer told Sir : Charles Wood that his grandson ; would one dav rule Iird\u2019a.Twelve I years later E.F.L.Wood was born.Forty-four years later he be- S came Viceroy.WE HOPE Æ j>o vow think VOU CAN GET ANV OF THEM TOGETHER ?IP h SPAfJf^ THE GOOD HOUSEWIFE.(Glasgow Bulletin) According to those who know her | well, Lady Londonderry is one of the best housewives in London or the country.She is wonderfully con-Uiderate to those who serve her j well, and few in her employment do i otherwise.At, one time, indeed, soon latter the war, she made gallant effort.- to solve the domestic problem for other people, hut her ideas were iat that time considered rather too j revolutionary.All the food provided iat her huge political receptions at Londonderry House- and it is abundant and very good is prepared in I her own .kitchen -, instead of being laupplicd by caterers.This is unusual nowadays;, when even royal garden-parties are contracted for.THE FRENCH PRESS FRENCH BECOMING \u201cTHE SCOT IN CANADA\u201d (Le Jour, Montreal) Instead of keeping sullen with our conquerors of yesteryear, battering our foreheads against the* 1 * * * S immovable British-American wall, refusing to learn a language that we need as much as our bread, scorning to contact those who, alas! are sometimes called \u201cstrangers,\u201d it v/ould be far more practical and wiser, while staying Catholic and French, keeping and learning even better our own language, one of the finest in the world, to take advantage of the opportunity we are offered to put the French-Canadians at the head of the Canadian Cpn-j federation, just as the Scots became-the masters of the Empire.Here I might quote a quite lengthy list of French-speaking Canadians who won power, wealth and influence, not only because of their knowing English, but also because of their broad-mindedness, their j conciliatory disposition, their neigh-1 borly relations with Canadians of I another language and tradition.! These are the ones upon whom rests} today the economic existence of i French Canada, and for all that they did not lose their identity; they were neither false to their faith nor untrue to their basic principles; ^ they were satisfied with being true men and true Canadians.To sum up, why should not the ; French-speaking Canadian, gifted I with all natural endowments and} wanting but a different education, i give up tilting at windmills and be- j come the Scott in Canada?EXAMPLE OF TRUE HEROISM (Le Soleil, Quebec) There are two kinds of heroism.One of them, brilliant and theatrical, often due to a sudden impulse, brings about a sudden action which makes a profound impression in public and brings glory to the doer.The other, obscure, done quietly, and often ignored, is simply the accomplishment of a particularly difficult ask which must be done, and that for a considerable length of time under the most trying conditions.A striking example of this latter type is provided by those two Kam-ouraska Island lighthouse keepers.Exhausted and suffering from extreme discomfort, carrying on with the last failing strength that remained within them, they continued to shine their lights on the mainland in distress signals which remained unanswered.They km-w \u2018hat extinguishing the Bghts would draw attention to them \u2014and they knew, too, that the dark-o\u201c?'S might

Graceful streamlines that gave the Lincolx-Zephyk a distinction of its own in two years previous are even more pronounced this year.If ilu-hold front of this new ear reminds you of the nose of some great air-liner, it is made that way for the same basic reason.Principles of functional design, rather than mere style, dictate the ear's modern form.Thus the low and horizontal radiator grille, aside from its beauty, increases cooling efficiency.This new ear breaks with the usual, too, in its modern power-plant.The V-type 12-cylinder engine, used and approved by more than 45,000 enthusiastic Lincoln-Zephyr owners during 1936 and 1937, has been refined to give an even smoother performance.And new-type valve lifters, with oil cushions, bring even quieter operation.Developing 110 horsepower, il gives 16 to 20 miles to the gallon \u2014 twelve thrifty cylinders! The basic construction of this car is a definite break with tradition.In closed types, body and frame arc not two separate units, but one unit, a steel framework, all members welded together.To this rigid framework, steel top, sides and flooring are welded.Aon ride surrounded by steel \u2014 and view7 road and landscape through wide windshield and windows of safety glass.The new Lincoln-Zephyr is bigger inside, bigger outside.The wheelbase is lengthened to 125 iimhe#.Great comfort results from the placing of ear weight and passenger weight toward the middle.Prove this on your favorite back road ! This year, a new Convertible Sedan and a new Convertible Coupe bring to six the number of Lincoln-Zephyr body types.This modern \u2018'twelve\u201d at medium price is still the only car of its kind at any price!

Apps, whose feats at centre ice for Toronto Maple Leafs earned him the award in the annual Canadian Press poll.It was the first time a hockey player won the distinction.Sports writers chose the twenty-three-year-old Apps over such longdistance running stars as Walter Young, of Verdun, Que., and Scotty Rankine, of Preston, Ont.But there was no doubt as to their choice, Apps drawing more votes than the other two together.For Apps, it was another honor to the many he earned in a brilliant hockey, football and track career at McMaster University and the ones he gained at the Berlin Olympics

municipalities and provincial governments, amount to $200,563,727, an increase of approximately $12,765,000, as compared with the previous year.Current loans outside of Canada amounting to $101,147,198 are approximately $4,000,000 lower than last year.Coming as it does after a steady decline in current loans over a period of seven years, the reversal in the trend of commercial loans is encouraging.As might be expected in view of the present stock market situation, call loans both in Canada and abroad have been substantially reduced.Call loans in Canada amount to $19,-392,906, a
