REVIEW, DRUMHELLER, ALBERTA, ORANGE .PEKOE. BLEND x “Fresh from the Gardens” Handicrafts In The West Shortiy after the conclusion of the World's Grain Show held at Regina last summer the question arose as to the uses to which the big quarter of a million dollar Grain Show building could be devoted, not only in connec- tion with the annual provincial exhibition but throughout the year. Many suggestions were advanced, but few had any relation to the subject of the use to be made of the building in connection with the annual Provincial Exhibition; possibly because of thé size of the structure, the great extent of floor space, und the difficulty In these recent years of finding necessary funds to promote any large development. ~ The writer now ‘proposes to advance an idea‘for the consideration not only of the Regina Provincial Exhibition Board, but of people. throughout the three prairie provinces. This idea is advanced because it is somewhat in keeping with the international character of the project for which the building ‘was originally constructed; because {t presents an opportunity to encourage and develop one aspect of our western life we are in danger of neglecting; and because it appears to be a feasible undertaking at the present time, and, in fact, may even provide a small source of income to many people who are in dire need of every cent they can earn. The suggestion we advance is that this building erected to house grain and other exhibits of the nations of the world, or at least a portion of it, should continue to be utilized each year for the display of the handicrafts of the people of the many nations who constitute such a large proportion of the population of Western Canadian provinces. In other words, that the various racial and national groups throughout the West be invited, en- couraged, even urged, to revive their home handicrafts on a larger scale than before and to exhibit the same, the understanding being that the ex- hibitors have the right to sell the goods they have placed on exhibit if they 80 desire. What, we asi, could provide a more colorful, Interesting and instructive exhibition than a continuous series of booths each devoted to the handi- crafts of different national groups, presided over by men and women of each particular group, dressed in their national costumes? Some years ago the C.P.R. sponsored the holding of exhibitions of handi- crafts throughout Canada, and these were ¢ttended by thousands of inter- ested visitors. In conjunction with such exhibitions; festivals and concerts featuring the music of different countries were held. Recently, at Regina, 8 highly successful folk festival and dance was held in which hundreds of citizens of glish speaking par each pi iz their own orchestra or band. The people of every nationality have some worthwhile contribution they can make to the upbullding of this Canadian nation. These people have chosen Canada, yes, Western Canada, as their home; they are bringing their children up to be Canadians. They have a wealth of tradition ar‘sing out of the past histories of their native lands, of music, poetry, literature, and a bewildering array of handicrafts to.contribute that will add richness to this young nation now in the making. They should be encouraged to make this contribution. It should be impressed upon them that they are welcome in Canada; ‘that so far from asking or expecting them to forget their old homelands and the customs and traditions and handicrafts of thelr native countries, we want them to add these as a contribution to the greater beauty and strength of Canada. Why not, therefore, utilize at least a portion of the fine World's Grain Show building to develop a little annual international exhibition put on by the people of many lands now resident in our midst on these Western plains? Let us have the flags of all nations waving again over booths filled with the arts and handicrafts of Germany, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Bel- ,gium, Holland, Italy, Jugo-Slavia, Czecho-Slovakia, Roumania, Ukraine, Greece, Russia, Austria, Hungary. Let us include China and Japan, who have representatives in our midst. And the Irish, the Scotch, the Welsh should join their contributions with the English, and. the French-Canadians to round out the whole. At the World's Grain Show last summer there were a few of these handicraft exhibits, and they were most interesting although rather over- shadowed by the magnitude of the show in other respects. But with one wing of the big bullding arranged in attractively decorated national booths, with exhibits of the arts and handicrafts of each nation on display, with national. flags and national costumes,—and all of which could be pro- vided by and through people now resident in the prairie provinces,—a use can be made of the Grain Show building which will return a dividend to Canada, not in-cash perhaps, but in nation building. At the same time activity in national arts and handicrafts will be encouraged, these arts’ and skill in workmanship will not be lost, and, in fact, a valuable and growing domestic market developed for hand-made products from many a humble and needy home.

Weary Days—Sleepless Nights the Nervous System Men and women toss night after night on sleepless beds. Their eyes do not close in repose that comes to those whose nerves are right. They are irzitable and nervous, weak and worn out, and everything looks dark and gloomy. Milburn’s H. & N.

Strength In The Air Official Of Air Ministry ~ Satisfled With Britain’s Efficiency Our stunt press so frequently sots our flesh creeping by allusions’ to our unpreparédness to ward off alr at- ‘tacks that it is refreshing to. hear the views of a real expert. I had a. talk to-day with one of the high officials of the Air Mini-| stry. He scoffed at the notion achat | we should imitate Italy in construct ing “funk holes” beneath our arter‘al roads. He was not even greatly con- cerned that civilians should be train- ed In the use of gas masks, When I reminded him that in the matter of aeroplane squadrons we came—very low down in the list of the seven big powers, his contention was that it was not aeroplanes that counted, but the efficiency of the pilots. Aero- planes could be turned out at the rate of hundreds a month if necessary. “Where do we stand,” I asked, the matter of efficiency?” “Measured by this room,” he said, “we are right up'to the ceiling. And the Power that comes next is America. Her position would be just about two- thirds up the wall."—London Cor., Ottawa, Journal. on Swedish Sea Serpent f Sea Monster Disporting In Lake For ‘Thirty Years Or More “The sea monster disporting in the waters off British Columbia is not the only one of its species, numer- ous people in the province of Jent- land, in northern Sweden, insist. Accounts of the Canadian phe- nomenon have revived interest in the “Storsjo monster,” as it is usually called, which people by the hundreds have reported seeing for the past 30 years or more. The animal is said to resemble a huge snake 30 to 35 feet long, is of a brownish grey color, has b’g eyes and moves swiftly in the water. Once, residents reported, it followed a steamer almost across the entire lake and on..another occasion was chased by two armed men in a boat. A Stockholm paper sent out an ex- it. Makes Bank-Note. Paper. English» Factory Has Been .Doing Business Sinco 1700 The manufacture. of -bank-note paper is one of the oldest established businesses in Great- Britain, accord- ing to J. M. Dalgarno, technical rep- resentative of a British firm‘of dis- tributors of registered water-marked papers, who visited Canada on his | way to Quala.Lampa, the capital city of the Federated Malay states, to | assist in setting up a plant to make postage stamps for the government there. A factory.hag been manufacturing bank-note paper ever since 1700 in Hampshire, England, and the only other place’in the United Kingdom licensed to make suca paper is in Aberdeen, Scotland. : Mr. Dalgarno said the quality of bank-note paper is established by the number of times it can be folded and a company is obliged to guarantee its paper for so many thousand folds according to the quality of paper re- quired. The firm which Mr. Dalgarno represents also manufactures special cheque forms which ‘are — proof against the tamperings of the forger. The paper which is used contains a secret chemical which sets up a reaction against any altering of fig- ures or letters engraved on the cheque. With this special process and its chemical reaction any bank clerk can detect immediately if -a cheque has been changed or forged. Strange Story From Desert Captive Legionairies Have Been Slaves Of Arabs For Years The members of a colony of cap- tive legionaries who, forgotten by the world, have for many years labored under Arabs in the burning heat of the desert, are now beginning to find their way back to civilization. The first intimation of the existence of such a colony’ came when an ex- legionary. named Lopez Posito, who had been regarded as dead for many years, three months ago staggered into the Spanish garrison of Villa Cisneros, in South-West Morocco, BIG SIZE BIG VALUE BIG SATISFACTION BIG THE PERFECT PLUG Chewing If you want more for your, money, chew— BEN Tobacco Marvels of the Human Eye By F.

CROWE, Optometrist-Optician, Calgary 0. 9—ARE HUMAN E This question is frequently asked by people who’ observe closely the steadily increasing number of “glass- wearers” as compared with a gen- eration ago, The answer is—No. The eyes of the present generation are in no wise better or weaker than those of our ancestors unless it can be proved that the whole physique of the race has degenerated. As is the whole physical body so are the eyes. But much more is required of our eyes today than formerly. growth ce YES DEGENERATING? plication and more painstaking care than ever, before.

Last Year Lowest | / In “Two Decades Forest fire losses in British Colum- bia during the 1983 season total'ed $406,758, the smallest in two decades. In, 1925 forest fires caused the great- est damage in the history of the province, when $2,747,000 worth of timber. and other property went up in smoke. Most of the fires-of major calibre during the 1933 scason occurred in southern British Columbia. Compl:te records released by the forestry de- partment show 1,082 fires and light- ning was responsible for approxi- mately 25 per cent. Russia Has Costly Project Details of a $51,500,000 project just started in Russla for’ the study of the human body, ill and healthy, and from every angle, including eugenics and heredity, were made public by a two-man commission which has been studying American hospitals ‘and medical centres since last November. The project, to be known as All-Union Institute of Eix- perimental Medicine, is located in a suburb of Leningrad, called J3ol- sturbo. : Object To Wax ‘Models “Effeminate” wax models for d's- t| playing uniforms in military tailor shops in Rome has aroused the ire of Fascist newspapers and officers, who demand that the “‘sissified” figures be replaced by “more military and less endearing clothes horses.” One officer, writing in the newspaper Tri- buna, sald that “shop windows show officers with pomaded hair, femirine figures, eyebrows and lashes of a Garbo and lovely carmined :-finger- nails.” Wife—"John, I gave you this letter to mail a month ago and I just found it in your plaid coat pocket!” Husband—“I remember! I took off the coat at the time to have you sew a button on it and it isn't sewed on yet!” Travel by rail may have its handi- caps, but when the storm king reigns trains still keep the rails, and, tn- like their highway adversaries, they do not have the disagreeable habit of | skidding into the ditch. Out of a million eggs handied last year by dock workers at Brisbane, |_— Australia, only one was broken, virtual slavery for Arab taskmasters. A Jew named Aaron’ Cohen later arrived similar story. Thereafter a Span‘sh commission took up the matter and after’ negotiations aided by friendly Saharan shetks, the first party of ex- legionaries arrived ‘at Cap Juby, near Villa Cisneros. * Lilac Came From Persia Bush Has Three Distinct Species And Several Varieties The Ilac, waich is one of the most fragrant and splend:d of flowering bushes originally came from Persia, but it has been a naturalized plant in the world’s gardens for several centuries. There are two or. three distinct species and several varieties, the colors varying from deep purple to pure white, Everybody is familiar with its fragrance, which is often too powerful to make it welcome as a table-decoration: within doors. The perfume is exhaled most strongly in the evening and in mild showery weather, and is due to the evapora- tion of essential oil. The lilac be- longs to the olive family, and is closely allied to the’ common privet, but it°bears no fleshy fruit, and is valueless except for the splendor of its-blossoms.

Landlords should not be shouldered with the double burden of providing both free rent and most of. the city’s taxes, the meeting agreed. It was-attended by about 200 people and lasted more than three hours. H: L. Rogers, former alderman, was the principal speaker. “It is un- fair,” he declared, “that the land- lord should be faced with the ugly alternative of having either to turn a destitute man out on the street or to give him free rent. It is dishon- est to make you pay for relief through taxes, and then, to make you pay rent for the poor when others who own stocks and bonds have to pay no more than income taxes.” Engineer Of Famous Train Receives Medal New Year's Honor Conferred On Driver Of Royal Scot On the platform of\Euston station, from where many travellers have started a journey to Canada, J.

Where Jay-Walking Is Legal Jay-walking is quite legal-in Bri- tain and no pedestrian need obey a traffic Nght. This was made plain by Major Oliver Stanley, minister of transport, in reply to a parliament- ary question.

Japan during the past year was one of the bright spots of Canada’s foreign trade in 1933, says a trade review of the department of trade and com- merce. Exports increased from $11,- 995,887 in 1932 to $13,001,704 in 1933. Exports of wheat flour to Japan increased in value from $383,683 to $600,367; wood pulp shipments in- creased In value from $884,332 to $1,444,284 and scrap iron from $18,- 069 to $390,653.
