Fine Quality—Black—Mixed—Green LADA TEA “Fresh from the Gardens” Look For A Silver Taniog During periods of difficulty and discouragement it is natural that the minds of people turn to and dwell upon those conditions which are the source of their difficultics an’ the cause of their discouragement. In fact, ! the tendency is for people to dwell upon these things to the almost com- plete exclusior of subjects which provide reason for confidence and en- couragement. This, it may be repeated, is quite natural; just as natural, in fact, as it is during periods of rapid development and general prosperity to clcse one's eyes to all warring signs along the road. In other words, the vast majority of pe -ple are enthusiastic optimists, and quite impatient of words of warning ard caution from more. taoughtful observers, when things are going well, but are just as confirmed pessimists, and impatient with those ; who point to favorable signs, when the existing state of things is bad.

Made Hazardous Trip Down From Aklavik From out of the fastnesses of Can- ada’s frozen north emerged a tale of a woman's hazardous journey slong 350 miles of the most dangcr- ous part of the ‘Arctic coast. Miss Isobel W. Hutchison, youny Scotswoman, complzted the journey braving hardsh!p, hunger and witter cold, and arriving at her destination, Aklavik, just befére Che'stmas. to Fort by Pilot Jon. |Bythell, Canadian Airways, returned several months in the tar nthe Scotswoman made the trip by |dog teams, Pilot Bythell said, whea winter overtook her as she was mak- ing her way to Eskimo schooners around from Point Barrow. When the ice tormed she took to sleds. It had veen Miss Hutchinson's in- tention to make connections with the | Arctic boat Pattason, near P- | Barrow, but Capt. Peterson was un- jable to take her to her desired aca- tination, Herschel Island, She there- fore. chartered Eskimo schooners jalong the route to help her on ber | way. | Incidentally, about this time Miss |Hutchison had the . distinction of jvisiting and bringing several souv- enirs from the derelict Hudson Pay Company's boat Baychimo, which was then still afloat about 15 miles off shore. Later, and after a succession of | setbacks, she was finally frozen in about’ 350 miles short of her goal. ‘This distance ‘with severe hardship \and difficulty she covered with be:- rowed dog teams, arriving at Aklavix @ few days before Christmas.

It is well, however, to occasionally take a good, square look at ourselves, to weigh curselves in tae scales, to be absolutely honest in an impartial s:zing-up of ourselves, to consider our own past views and actions and their effect upon present day conditions. Furthermore, in this prescnt period of dis- couragement, it is well to overcome our natural tendency to see everything through blue spectacles, and to take a look at the s‘lver lining to the clouds. Notwithstanding all our economic problems, Canada’ is free from some of the worse of those which afflict the people of other nations. For example, what community in the whole length and breadth of Canada hag been shocked and outraged by a lynching in its midst, such as is more or less 4 commonplace ‘occurrence in tne United States? How many kidnapp:ngs have occurred in Canada even during these times which unquestionably are an incentive té law-breaking and violence, although. kidnappings are daily happenings. across the line? And why is it such a marked difference for the better prevails on tais side of an imaginary line? The answer is to ke found in Canada's far superior judicial system, resulting as it has in absolute confidence that even-handed justice w:ll be administered, thus rendering the invoking of lynch-law unnecessary on the one hand, and proving a deterrent to kidnappers, murderers, and gangste activities. The tradition of respect for law and order in Canada is a gre national asset, bringing comfort and security to all our people, and provid- ing a sure guarantee against mob law and gangster rule in tais Dom‘nion. It is a.strong foundation upon which Canada rests and will build through- out the future. More of the silver ining is seen in the absencelof strikés and riots and picketings in this Dominion as compared with many other lands. There has been an occasional small strike in Canada, one or two small clashes with the officers of the law, an isolated case or two of picketings, but thbre have been no killings, and, gencrally speaking, peace and order have prevailed throughout the period of the depression. Canada’s legislation dealing with Industrial disputes has been effective even uhder the strain and’ stress of the present economic upheaval because that legislation is fair to all, humane in its principles and effective in its operation and administration in provid- ing justice for all, In this respect, Canada presents a picture that is most gratifying when placed in contrast to most countries. In Canada, too, our political system and institutions have stood the test. Revolutions have taken place in other lands, in which lives have been lost, property destroyed, liberties taker. away, dictatorships established. In Can- ada, our people have been moving forward~through the orderly processes of democratic, representative government. There has been no revolution, nor will there be. Confidence has been maintained in our existing form of gov- ernment, and it is proving flexible enough to ‘the people's will to enable them to achieve such reforms as they desire. Many other examples: might be cited, and will occur to readers of this article, but those méntioned are given as an incentive to people to try and overcome their natural tendency to look constantly on the dark side of things in these days, and, for a change, contemplate and study those that are not only brighter but contain promise of still brighter, better things ahead. t geearaing to the Dairy Industry; The Food and Drugs -Act of Can- Act, “dairy” means a place where ada requires that flour _should not | the milk or cream of less than 50)contain more than 13.5 per cent. cows is manufactured into butter. | moisture, — | Seem tinecnereneeieerret Second-hand American achine} The South India air service is to tools are being sold in France. | be extended to Colombo, Ceylon.

L. A. Ewart, is. something of a second Houdini and, if he'had not adopted the church 2s a career, might have won fame by his remarkable skill in escaping from leg-irons or handcuffs in the presence of friends and acquaintances. At a British Legion dinner at the neigaboring village of Irchester he aston'shed the company by a master- ly display. of handcuff manipulation. His hands were manacled behind his back, but in a few minutes the vicar was free, both locks having been opened. Mr. Ewart has been known to escape from. 25 locks in 10 minutes. He has freed himself from: American leg-irons, Siberian fetters and Ger- man handcuffs. On one occasion a police inspector (off duty) at a gathering, fastened a pair of handcuffs on Mr. Ewart, but had no key to release the vicar if he failed to escape. In a few moments the vicar was free. Then he induced the inspector to be hand- cuffed. -Smilingly, however, he de- clined to show his:method of escape and the inspector had to return to the police station to get the hand- cuffs removed. White Collar Women Most Unemployed Office Girls Will- Ing To Do Any Work The white collar women are giv- ing Los Angeles a lot of worry, says W. L. Clark, in Border Cities "Star. There are some 14,000 of these girls out of work and the civic authorities are at their wits’ ends to know waat to do about it. The white collar girls are the stenographers, bogkkcepars, secretaries, receptionists and nurses for doctors and dentists, comptometer and other office machine operators, saleswomen, bank girls, and others They call them white ‘collar girls because they are the ones wao work- ed side by side with the white col- lar men in offices and stores. With 14,000 trained, women and girls ask- ing work and finding none, Los An- geles is faced with a serious quand- ary. Nor is the question unique in Call- fornia. Every city in Canada has the same problem to solve. Wind- sor’s white collar girls are anxious to work, but some of them cannot find any jobs. In fact some of them are only too pleased to work for any- taing at all. Conditions Are Improving Evidence Of Uptrend Of Business Shown By Increase In Sales Of Salada Tea An Indication that conditions are improving’ ‘and that business is on the upturn is shown by the fact that the Salada Tea Co. sold. over 54% more tea in Western Canada in 1933 than in 1932. ‘This is especially significant since Salada is a quality tea.

Never allow the birds to pick their feed from the ground, but always from troughs or dishes of some kind.

CROWE, Optometrist-Optician, Calgary: NO. 7—PRESBYOPIA Although forty years of age is of course not considered old, yet be- cause Presbyopia usually manifests itself at about that age, it is com- monly referred to as “Old-age sight”. How often we hear people say “my sight is just as good ag it ever was except for reading and sewing.” Yes, this condition is common to man. Let us consider the cause of this natural) development which causes so much inconvenience after middle life. We have fully explained that in order to have a clear image of a dis- tant object focused on the Retina, the length of the eyeball and the curvature of the Cornea and Lens must be properly related. The first two may be considered as fixed as to length and curvature respectively but fortunately the Lens is elastic and it is this elastic power or “Ac- commodation” which enables us to focus objects near at hand. Accom- modation is most powerful around twelve years of age and then gradu- ally diminshes ‘till there is none left at age sixty-five or seventy. “For sustained close work a cer- tain amount is absolutely necessary and this the average person of forty- five does not possess, hence, the nec- | essity of assisting the failing Accom- modation by. artificial means in the form of glasses and as the Accom- modation continues to decrease, tho strength. of the lenses must be creased. This change should be Be two or three years. y Ruling Is Strict | Producers Requiro’ Permit To Pack | Grade Al Eggs Grade A1 of Canadian eggs is a super-grade and the packing of tais grade may. be done only by producers authorized by permit by the Do- OR “OLD-AGE SIGHT” In an individual with rormal ¢ls- tant vision such glasses. although necessary for reading, will blur ob- jects across the room. Al:o the Pres- byope whd necds glasses for distant vision will _ require different strength, or B:focals, for near work. The first symptoms of Presbvopia are: difficuity in reading by artificlal light, ha’ to hold the paper twenty or more inches away Instead of fourteen or sixteen inches. With advance of time other complications arise. The muscles in an effort to force a focus, become unbalanced in thelr relation to each other, causing eyestrain, headaches, eyeaches, burn= ing sensation, watery eyes, print blurred and runs. together and drowsiness after a short period. These are not only the symptoms of uncorrected Presbyopia but are also signals to older Presbyopes that it 1s. “time for a change”. Since the eyes have to converge when reading, how remarkable it is that the same nerve, the third or motor Oculi, supplies the power both for Accommodation and Convergence in order that they may work. in harmony and when they fail to do so by neglecting to wear the proper glasses, trouble is bound to follow. Presbyopia is not a disease but is due to natural progressive changes in the Ocular system and when pres- ent the eyes need asslstance—not | continued abuse. (To.

Fleet, Crossed Atlantic 600 Times Word, was received at Montreal of the death at Walasey, England, of Captain Francis Carey, 85, former commodore of the Canadian Pacific fleet, who retired in 1914. Captain Carey had an adventurous life in his many years on the sea. He crossed the Atlantic 600 times, once towed a huge passenger boat 800 miles in December seas, trans- ported a whole harem, and was the first commander of tae ill-fated Em- press of Ireland ‘The aged captain once successively commanded all the “lake” boats on the Beaver line and was also with the Elder Dempster line before be- coming captain of the Empress of Ireland in 1906, Fifth Exporting Nation Canada Held This Position During First 10 Months Of 1933 Canada held her position ‘as the world's fifth exporting nation during the first 10 months of 1933, but the United Kingdom replaced Germany as ‘the second on the lst, according to figures compiled by the Dominion bureau of statistics from League of Nations sources. The United States continued to hold first place by a narrow margin over the United Kingdom, while Ger- many occupied third place; France, fourth, and Japan, sixth. The rela- tive places are on values of exports in gold dollars.
