Kiwanian President Alex. Yule oc cupied the chair and introduced Mr, Johnson to the gathering. The speaker gave a most interesting com parison of Napoleon and Hitler. He said each of these men had set out to conquer. Both came to the top in times of social and political chaos and it was his opinion that Hitler would end up as did Napoleon. He reviewed the action of England in destroying the great< French Fleet of Napoleon. He traced the present war from the time Hitler made his thrusts against the weaker nations of ‘Eurojjp until the present time and declared that Hitler was heading for the same fate. Mr. Johnson held to the view that the League of Nations must now be regarded as a failure as it was an acceptance of the idea of a sense of responsibility for the state of the whole world, rather than the development of power politics in one part of it. Its failure was mainly due he claimed, because of the failure of the States composing it to take a European much less a world view. The thanks of the club was ex tended to the speaker by Kiwanian C, L. Bole, principal of the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute. The officers of Pride of Oxford L.O-L.

It is an important, if unspectacu lar, part of the war effort, because war supplies must be paid for in cash. Exchange produced by the sale of Canadian nickel or newsprint is spent for planes, tanks and other vital war needs that United States factories can fill. * Other Empire countries have gone further than Canada in their efforts to conserve dollar exchange. Australia and New Zealand, for example, have totally prohibited imports of’ some commodities not essen tial to a country at war and have drastic import re strictions on many other goods, ihcluding raw mater ials for their own industries. For most imports a quota is fixed, based on the imports of the commodity in a given year and licenses for imports are issued up to a total of the base-year quota or such percen tage of it as the authorities may see fit to establish. Where needed raw materials are available from both sterling and dollar countries, the quota system favors the sterling country. It apparently has not yet been found necessary for Canada to adopt a quota system for imports. The premium on United States exchange and the special import tax of ten per cent, have‘had the effect of discouraging import's of non-essentials from that coun try though not of preventing them. With increasing demand for war materials it is possible that further restriction on imports may be found advisable lor"” Canada. In, that event, the quota system should be w-orth serious consideration. The advantages of the quota 'system are that it ■ does not limit total trade but diverts it into channels most useful for Canada; and that the system is flex ible. as the quotas can be fixed or varied according to the country’s needs. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board, which already has wide authority over domestic trade, could appropriately administer the licensing of imports without increasing unduly it* staff of experts.

HEALTH LEAGUE of CANADA A triumph over their German rivals is announced by Britain’s scien tific instrument makers. Before tho >£ar Canada invited the world to compete for a surveying an eroid required by the Dominion’s Geographical' Survey Department They asked for an accuracy of 0.02 inches of mercury. The Germans said it was impossible. They flatly re fused to try. Britain decided to tackle the job. Two years’ special research have been put in on it and now the mak ers are able to disclose the fact that they have done ten times better than they were asked to do. They have achieved not the 9.02 inches of accuracy but 0.002, or one-tenth of the error allowed by the specification. “We lost heavily on it,” said a member of the firm, “but the re search we did has been of immense value." tTo-day Britain’s supremacy in making scientific instruments ia shown by the world demand for them. Among her war time custom ers are Argentina, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. When bombers are ^wung aboard' ship at Montreal, their dashboards carry—among much else—tempera ture indicators, boost gauges, fuel press gauges, oil pump gauges, air intake, thermometers and precision altometers, all of them made in Great Britain. The latest figures are eloquent of Britain's new supremacy. Before j the war she was exporting about one-third the quantity of scientific instruments 'sold by her German rivals. During the first nine months of the present year she sent overseas more than £900,000 worth, an actual increase of almost £100,000 over the first nine months of 1939.

Hudson, author, explorer and poet, as far back as 1885, called Uruguay the “Perfect Republic.” Since 1877 elementary education has been compulsory and free. While in most of the Latin-American coun tries the Army budgets are the lar gest, in Uruguay the large amount of public money goes to education. It was the first country in South America to divorce the Church from the State; to give the vote to women; to abolish capital punishment (its crime record is very low); to estab lish a minimum wage-law, an 8-hdur working day and old age pensions. In 1929 a law was passed decreeing that pensions to their employees must be granted by limited liability companies. Since 1913 a sum of 200,000 gold pesos has been appro priated annually for free seeds for fanners. (#ne pound equals 4.7 pesos). There is an inflexible bank-inspect ion law since 1927 and in the same year the government took over the -telephone the telegraph and postal services. The Board of Health spends 12,000,000 pesos annually and it is now proposed to give free medical service to everyone.

ROSS LITTLE,Estates Officer. 1940 Automobile License Plates To Be Collected For The Red Cross wear grows so strongly from month to month, despite Hitler’s “total war,” that a special retail export group is now being formed by Brit ain’s tailors, bootmakers and sad dlers. The vanguard of an invading army of fitters from 300 British tailors are already on their way to the States, complete with samples of next Spring’s suitings and taking their tape measures with them. American men continue to look to London as American women used to look to Paris. A plan for the salvaging of 1940' automobile license plates by the Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society was announced recently by the Honourable Mitchell F. Hepburn, Prime Minister of On tario. Mr. Hepburn pointed out that if all or nearly all the 1940 plates were recovered, the Red Cross fundswould benefit by a substantial sum and almost three hundred tons of scrap steel would be made available for war purposes. “I hope the motorists of Ontario will co-operate wivote-heartedly,” ’ said Mr. Hepburn. "This arrange ment gives them an opportunity to render effective aid in twoSrays and at no cost to thefaselves. Three hun dred tons of steel would be an im portant aid to the war industries and the cash derived from the sale of the metal will Be effeetviely used by the Red Cross.

Members of the executive plan to bring before the meeting eighteen recommendations of the Canadin Food Distribution Council. One of these recommendations calls for a joint committee of wholesalers and growers to examine wholesale charges with the object of putting everyone on the basis of equality; eliminating secret agreements and special rates; arranging periodic examination of commission trucker and wholesale records. Another recommendation would prohibit the re packing of imported produce, especially potatoes, in Canadian containers, while another would clearly define the basis of retail advertising of fruits and vegetables making it compulsory that all imported produce be designated and that all domestic produce be clearly defined with grades clearly indicated. The vegetable men will abo be asked to give con sideration to the sale of asparagus, bunch beets, car rots, etc., by weight, and no longer leave these pro-• ducts open to rebunching by retailers or pedlars.'

However, for con sistent prize-winning, it would be difficult to beat the record of Mrs. E. B. Dalziel who lives "near Woodbridge, Ontario. Asked for the secret of her success, Mrs. Dalziel said, “To begin with you must have ex ceptionally good flour. 1 use Robin Hood because it absorbs Liquids so easily and .has so 'much life and body to it Cakes never fall in the centre when 1 use Robin Hood Flour.

And please do thank your father and mother for theirkindness."The late afternoon found Audrey on the side porch trying to forgeteverything in the pages of a newnovel.

The new Hotel Vancouver’s spacious rooms and delightful accommodations will add to (he pleaAire of your stay in Vancouver For a number of years Canada has been exploiting one of her oldest natural resources, snow. Winter snows are just as eagerly awaited and as expertly appraised by tho Canadian sporting fraternity aa spring rains -are welcomed by the Canadian farmer. Snow craft has become a popular science and snow has been turned into an important economic asset. Snow has put Can ada's tourist' trade on an all-year- round basis and has added substan tially to the wealth of the country. Snow has also put the Dominion on the top rung of the winter sports ladder. 'Wintertime has long been regarded as playtime in Canada, and the development of all forms of winter sports'has now reached an international, scale of large propor tions. One of the most popular of all winter sports-in the North American continent to-day is skiing. This ex hilarating and delightful pastime was first popularized in Canada by. Lord Minto, while Governor General at Ottawa before the; close of the last century and the Ottawa Ski Club has the distinction of being one of the first established in Canada. Grad ually the sport spread to other pro vinces, and ski clubs were formed at many important centres between the Atlantic and the Pacific. To-day there are 115 of these clubs with a mem bership of over 25,000; In addition, there are thousands of young people in all parts of the country who are not identified with any club who who take 'most of their outdoor exercise in winter on skis. The past few years has witnessed the rapid expansion of a program’ designed to provide greater facilities for winter sports in Canada, espec ially skiing. Hotel,.^chalet, and ski lodge accommodation mas been made available at all the principal centres frequented "by. skiers; ski trails, ski jumps, and cross-country ski courses have been put in shape, and ski : tows provided in many place's in or der to save a wearisome climb for those who enjoy only the downhill • run. Canada's national parks, which have long been among the greatest 1 summer playgrounds of the Domin- - ion, are gradually developing their winter attractions. This is particu larly true of some of the parks situ ated in the Rocky Mountains. Here are to be found boundless winter playgrounds on alpine slopes covered with deep, powdery snow incompar able for slalom racing. Downhill _ runs, miles long amid grandeur that defies description, make a skiing hoi-, iday in one of these parks a never- to-be- forgotten experience. The Dominion ski championships were held in Banff National Park during 1940.-] and many of the best skiers in the North American continent competed.-. Special trains were run from Calgary and Edmonton, in Al berta, and Ai coaches were attach ed to regular trains from Vancouver and Toronto; .“Other skiers esmi by cars which bore the license plates of many of the provinces of Canada and the states of the American Republic. In Jasper National Park, also in the Canadian Rockies, is jo be found one of the longest ski courses in Western Canada. It is three and a half miles in length and has a 4,500 foot vertical drop. It is the1 only downhill course in Canada - which satisfies the Federation Inter nationale du Ski standard of at least 2,600 feet vertical drop, and. is said to» be one of the most interesting in the North American continent This unique course is quite close to the town of J super, the headquarters of the park, and is, therefore, easily^ accessible by either train or motif • ear. In parts of Jasper National Park, skiing is possible all the year round, Rcvelstoke National Park, further tart in the Selkirk's, is a well known Canadian Skiing Centre. The Big Hill in this Park has been the scene of many championshi{4 meets and many world records for Ski jumping have been established there. A'new hill has now been constructed for slalom and downhill racing which will challenge the expert aa well aa provide thrills for the novice. Fas cinating ski trails amid alpine seen- k cry of unrivalled beauty add charm and interest to a skiing holiday in this superb mountain park. jFew would have thought that a pair of skis (aptly described aa "wooden broncos” by an Indian brave who wi tn emed a ski jump for FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS CAKE OR OTHER CHRISTMAS BAKING RAISINS and CURRANTS Old Fashioned Raisins, Seeded........................2 lbs. 33c Old Fashioned Raisins, Seeds in....................Z....14c lb.

In addition to special ski trains running to most of the principal ski runs, motor roads are now being kept open in many places during the whole winter. Processions of cars with skis and poles tied on the running boards, strapped onto the bonnet or hood, or in modern fashion carried in a specially 'con structed ski rack on top or at the back of the car, may be seen moving out of a Canadian town or city any Saturday afternoon following the first heavy fall of snow. Many young people go skiing at night now, es pecially where ski runs are available within a reasonable distance of the mty, and skiing in the moonlight has a charm distinctly its own. This type of skiing is likely to be developed still further with, the provision of lights to mark obstacles along the run when, the light,of the' moon la par tially or totally obscured. Tourists from the United States have hot been slow in taking advan tage of the improved facilities for winter sports in Canada. Many Americans, of "course spend their winter in their own country, but others, taking advantage of the present rate of exchange which makes every American dollar worth about ten cents more, prefer to come'to Canada where they will find a new and stimulating world. In anticipation of the increased tourist traffic fro ns south of the bor der, Canadian iki colonies have been springing up like magic from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The snow clad hills are beckoning to ski en thusiasms who wish to demonstrate their skill on slopes and curves and quick descents, or to those who merely ski for fun and never wish to be too far away from the dinner bell.Canadians "have become definitely snow-minded; their infectious enthu siasm for winter sports in general, and the spirit of comradeship toward those who visit their winter resorts, have done much to bring back visit ors from other lands year after year.
