in the second place it meant that the average Canadian teacher is going to remain at his profession for a minimum length of time \u201cunder these circumstances.Mr.Speirs stressed three very definite factors as militating against the achievement of helping individuals to realize the fuil powers of his personality, and these were : 1.\u2014Ridiculously large classes; 2.\u2014Over-pressure of examinations and 3.\u2014Over rigidity of class subjects.In closing Mr.Speirs referred address by R.A.Speirs, M.A., as- Burglar Gets Four Years In Penitentiary Sentence of four years in St.Vincent de Pail Peniteptiary was imposed by Recorder Charles A.Hale, of the Westmount Recorder\u2019s Court, on Friday last, on Gerard Pelletier, of 1124 Bt.Catherine Street, West.Pleading guiliy to charges, the prisoner was sentenced for entering, breaking in, and theft In Westmount homes on March 19, and also for possession of burglar\u2019s tools.The accused also received a sentence of three years for false possession of four registration cards.Red Cross Acts As Shining Light In The World For the fifth time since the beginning of war, the people of Quebec Province have heard the call of mercy .and have answered.Once again a crisis is over.The $2,250,000 objective of the 1944 Red Cross Campaign has been met and passed.And so we can begin to see how much our contribution to the Red Cross has meant.Perhaps it will send a food parcel to a prisoner, perhaps give life to a wounded boy through the administration of powdered blood, perhaps It will bring comforts and warm clothing to a soldier, sailor or airman many miles from home.The gratitude of returning boys tor the services of the Red Cross knows no bounds.We are the Red Cross.The organization is simply us, multiplied millions of times.Mr, or Mrs.Canadian, are the backbone of a great society, whose principles and humanitarian ideals stand like a shining light in a world of darkness.4 WHEN PEACE COMES , After Victory\u2014What?will be the subject of the address by Mrs.Dorise Nielson, M.P,, at the, Victoria Hall meeting tonight to religlous education which, he (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO) - 2 under the auspices of the Labor PTE.HERBERT WARD Private Herbert (Bunny) Ward, a former member of the West- mount Motor Cycle Squad, borrows a donkey in ltaly to get around.According lo an announcement received from Defence Headquarters at Ottawa, Lt.-General E.L.M.(Tommy) Burns, O.B.E., M.C., of Westmount, whose present home is in Ottawa, has been named to command a Canadian Corps in Italy.Lt,-Gen, Burns, who was pro- moted- to that rank simultaneously with his appointment, is the only son of the late Col.George Eedson Burns, whose secret intelligence activities earned him honors from the Belgian Government during the last war;

Telephone ROSS, K.C.57 St.James St.West HA.9238 R.A.SPEIRS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) said, Canada often tended ro side-step entirely.\u2018In the whole of the Canada- Newfoundland Report on education, religion is mentioned once, and even then at the tail end of a catalogue of subjects.The Norwood Report on Education in England devotes seven closely- packed pages to the importance of religious edueation, \u201cOne sentence reads as follows: \u2018No boy or girl can be counted as properly educated unless he or she has been made aware of the fact of a religious interpretation of life.\u2019 The traditional form \u2018which the interpretation has taken in this country, it goes on, is Ch'istian, and the principal justification for giving a place in the curriculum to the study of the Scriptures is that the Bible and forms the basis of Christian faith and worship.\u2019 \u201cIn our own high schools Bible instruction was only introduced a little over a year ago, rather half-hearted and by the back door as part of the literature course\u2014as though we were really afraid to teach the truth of the Scriptures.It is true that the elementary schools have always had some Bible teaching, but even these such/Bible instruction have recently been \u2018branded (and by a superintedent of schools, too, mark you) as overrated and the statement was made that Secrip- ture teaching cannot be a substitute for character training which should be done by the teaching of the right habits through conducting the pupils\u2019 activities in a favorable.atmosphere.\u201cSuch statements ag this fill me with grave misgivings.Is it necessary I ask you, for Scripture teaching to be a substitute for anything ?Of course, you should conduet your pupils\u2019 activities in a favorable atmosphere.Of course you should try to teach them right habits, But if you are going to make this kind of thing, however good in its place, a substitute for the dynamic truths of the Bible and the deathless example of Jesus Christ, your character training is going to be drained of its very life-blood.\u201d Douglas McKean introduced the speaker, who was thanked on be- halt of the club by F: C.Whitaker, Chester McBride, the president, was in the chair.OBITUARY WM.8.ATWOOD Funeral services were held for William S.Atwood, 659 Murray Hill, on Tuesday, from Dominion- Douglas - Church.Mr.Atwood 69, who died suddenly on Saturday was viece- president and director of the Canadian Car & Foundry Com- pany Ltd.Born in Conneaut, Ohio, on January 19, 1876, Mr.Atwood was the son of Edwin and Marion Atwood.He was educated in the public Schools and came to Canada in January, 1902, He was a draftsman and later mechanical engineer for the Simplex Railway Appliance Company's, Montreal, plant; meghanical engineer for the Dominion Car & Foundry Co., and chief engineer of the Canadian Steel Foundries Limited.When these companies were merged into the Canadian Car & Foundry Co.Ltd.in 1912, Mr.Atwood was appointed chief engineer.In 1914 he was named operations manager and held this position during the Great War when the company built ships for the Frehch Navy.In 1919 he was appointed assistant to the late president, W.W.Butler, and \"ada, Serving for some time as deputy chief of staff at Ottawa, \u2018ne was then re-transferred to England.In the interim he had

on China.To us in the West, China is a fascinating but bewildering tale.We have a vague idea of the customs of Old China, and we know very little of the new China emerging today.The name of the great Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kal- shek are.familiar to us but what do we know of the Chinese legends and heroes, of the past?One of the most beautiful legends known to Chinese boys and girls for centuries and told to Plato Chan by his mother has been illustrated by this twelve year ehd boy.\u201cThe Good Lueck Horse,\u201d by Chan is one of the most charming books, It is an utterly delightful and humorous story of a.cut-out paper horse who was suddenly transformed into a real horse by a magician.\u201cWhen the typhoon blows it is wise to bend with the gale\u201d \u2014so runs a Chinese saying.The typhoon in this book (When the Ty- \u201cWestmount's Home Newspaper\u201c The Magic Carpet NEW BOOKS FOR JUVENILES AT WESTMOUNT LIBRARY phoon Blows,\u201d by Elizabeth Lewis) is the ruthless war waged upon the helpless peasant.How the Chinese must unite to win back freedom is the central theme of this story, a story of China, fighting the enemy alone, unprepared and ill-equipped\u2014fighting with a courage and gallantry uhsurpass- ed in the world.But there are many other books on China \u2014 full of the quiet delightful humour of the Chinese, stories of the family life which is .the same the world over -\u2014of the legénds and heroes of Chinese people, such as: Bennett \u2014The pigtail of Ah Lee Ben Loo, ers, Carpenter\u2014Tales of a Chi nese

was a pioneer in the development of railroad cars and designed and developed the first Steel frame box freight car in 1907 while with the Dominion Car & Foundry Co., and later on was prominent in the development of the all-steel box car.He was appointed a director of the Canadian Car & Foundry Co.in October, 1941, succeeding the late Hon.W.Gordon Scott, who lost his life when the ship on \u201cwhich torpedoed and sunk.He was an active member of the Rotary Club of Montreal, and of the Beaconsfield Golf Club.He was also a member of the Thistle Curling Club, the Engineering Institute of

devoted to public service.\u2018 = WESTMOUNT, FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1944 = CHANCE FOR AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS MATEUR photographers, and there are scores in this district, usually like to take pictures for the record, and these wartime days provide plenty of opportunities.The amateurs should be busy these days taking movies and snaps (when they can get the film) of the queues at movie theatres and liquor stores, railroad ticket wickets, bus stations and restaurants.Such pictures of life on the home front in wartime will interest \u2018people for decades to come, as will snapshots of ration books, war bond campaign streamers, national registration card, scrap piles, air defence signs, and the droves of shoppers.It is a strange thing that what is common has no value at the time and hence is overlooked by everybody.A copy of last week's newspaper is usually unobtainable, except at the library.This war is producing things on the home front that will not be duplicated in the lifetime of anyone now living.It is important that each community get it into the record.Amateur photographers can help doing this, and have plenty of fun doing it.AN ABSURD REGULATION MONG the anomalies in regulations governing enlisted men are many which puzzle the layman.One often commented on has to do with the wing earned by an observer in the air force.He cannot wear the emblem after he has transferred to another branch of service.Pilots, ex-members of the R.F.C.and RAF, now serving in other branches, may wear their wings on producing satisfactory \u2018evidence that they are entitled to them, This qualification could be obtained in Canada or England, in the last war even though the holder had not been in a single flight against the enemy:~The observer could earn his wing only on active service, but is denied the privilege of wearing it in the event of transierring.He can \u2018wegr a D.F.C.ribbon, but not the wing.Such an anomaly appears strange.It affects a great many men, and is a mystery to their friends.How can it be explained?It doesn't make sense that a man can wear a ribbon showing experience and valor in the air and not the emblem of flight which he earned the hard way.This paper is informed that the order followed a similar one applying to personnel of the British Army.It still doesn\u2019t make sense that a man who earned a D.F.C.ribbon is denied the right to display the emblem giving him authority to fly.The order should be rescinded.\u2014Toronto Globe and Mail.DEGLAMORIZING MOVIE STARS SINCE the war began, many of the top-flight movie stars have become so completely deglamorized bv personal appearances, that Hollywood, in its own interests, should curtail the practice, thinks Peter Bellamy, movie critic.\u201cHow often\u201d he writes, \u201cwe have heard a star worshipper say upon seeing a film favorite for the first time: \u2018She\u2019s nobody you'd look at twice.She isn't very good looking, she makes a bad speech, and the sound system certainly dees a lot for her voice.\u2019\u201d Few famous people unaccustomed to public appearances improve their standing with admirers by getting on a platform and popping off: Politicians and lecturers make a business of platform work and therefore know their stuff and how to put it over.Public speaking is as natural to them as blowing a horn is to Benny Goodman.But it is a universal delusion, it seems, that anybody can make a speech.The fact is that speech-making is a difficult art and should be avoided as far as possible by those unaccustomed to it.EARLY MORNING MUSIC ONE SATURDAY I was wide awake before my usual time, writes William Feather, so I turned on the bedside radio to pick up the news.This was at 7.22 am.A male singer was bleating sémething about longing-for-you and wanting-to-be-with-you.I wondered how much a ham like that got for singing so much drivel so early in the morning.There was nothing to do but let him finish because the news was not due until the half hour.When the song was finished, the commercial announcer put on his spiel and then he said, \u201cGo ahead, Bing.\u201d and another record began to play.I had been hearing Bing Crosby whom some fans regard as even better than Frank Sinatra.The incident may show that I can\u2019t recognize good stuff unless it\u2019s labelled, or it may show that Bing\u2019s solos aren't so hot in a cold bedroom at dawn.FOR HEALTHY CHILDREN AN ENGLISH medical expert predicts that England\u2019s present generation of babies will grow up as the healthiest in history.England is making

and though John Ruskin, in his book \u201cUnto This Last\u201d came close to it when he wrote \u2018If you work for me one hour and I only work for you half an hour I rob you of half an hour\u2019s work,\u201d he evidently had no idea of how to make the exchange of work universally effective.Mr.Brokaw.however, has shown not only that human work alone should have exchange value, but, that time alone, and not results, is the measure of all kinds of human work; and further, that they can be exchanged by debtors issuing cheques to creditors in which they promise to pay from their bank accounts the same number of hours as they have received.Mr.Brokaw is survived by his kaw, at Del Rosa, California.L.Brown, 112 Croft Street, Victoria, B.C., February 15, 1944, Rabbi Stephen S.Weise spoke recently before the Kiwanis Club sociation of Birmingham, Alabama.He denounced the British White Paper which will prohibit all Jewish immigration to Palestine after March 31st and voiced the belief that the paper will never go into effect for England will straighten out the trouble.He said \u2018Great Britain always fumbles into the right\u201d.He said the refugee Jews should be allowed to return to the country in which they formerly lived, after the war is over.He denied that he said that the United States should welcome all Jewish refugees but said that he believed some of them should be permitted entry.Speaking at a luncheon meeting of the Foreign Policy Association recently at New-York, Hon.Walter Nash, the Australian Minister to the U.S., emphasized the tremendous importance of the islands of the Pacific to all countries engaged in postwar aviation.He recommended the setting up of a regional conference includ- and, Australia, France, Great Bri- Author Passes + first proposed the work-unit-dollar, work for work, hour for hour (the Equitist proposal) and author of Create It,\u201d Vanguard Press, New York, August 1927, died on December 8, 1943, at Los Angeles, Calif, He is survived by a daughter, Vaughn, and a grandson, The following letter referring to Mr, Brokaw appeared in the daily Colonist, Vice Brown, for many years an employee of the C.P.R.at Angus Shops, and an expert in connection with the of railway cars.He was pensioned islands after the war.He furiher called for fair treatment of these peoples, saying \u2018\u2018Whatever terms you may have with regard to At- lantle Charters or Moscow pacts or Teheran statements, war can never be permanently put aside until all have sufficient to eat, sufficient clothes and other things to protect them such as medical care and some leisure to enjoy life\u201d.\u2019 The Chinese government has taken a monopoly of salt, sûgar, tobacco and matches, The revenue the idea that hour for hour ex-yfrom this source is steadily ine creasing.The government has collected taxes on land for hundreds of years but now the policy has changed.There is a tax on production, in kind; everyone hands over a fixed percentage of his produce which is used to feed the army.It is not easy to balance the buget during a war and to meet expenditures the government must borrow money.Thus it is necessary to issue paper notes.Money is borrowed from both the Chinese and foreign government, Up to 1937 the authority to issue paper mostly belonged to four great banks, the Central Bank of China, the Bank of China, the Bank of Communications and the Farmers\u2019 Bank of China.Now this issuing power is limited to the Central Bank which has become the bank of banks.The Bank of China is the bank of international trade.The Communications Bank specializes in the development of national industry.The Farmers\u2019 Bank Soncerns itself with the development of agriculture and coe operatives.The Chinese government has divided the country into sixteen banking districts.In the big cities of each district, offices are maintained for banking supervision under the direction of the Minister of Finance.Illegal business practices are suppressed, credit facilities are established, and investments for the increase of production are arranged.The stabilization of prices falls under the jurisdiction of these offices, as well as the encouraging of the sale of bonds, and the investment of savings in new industry.\u2014Dr.Chen Ping Chuan, President of Canton University and Supervisor of Chinese Banks.who is visiting the U S.A, to study inflation prevention and price control.Since the war began, almost seven years ago, the government has had very difficult financial problems, in the attempt to pay war expenses and still keep a safe economic foundation for the whole country.Revenue comes mainly from customs duties, taxes on salt, tobacco, cotton, cement and flour.Such indirect taxes are inadequate and do not balance the burden of wartime expenses.Recently the Chinese government has changed its financial policy to get revenue from direct taxes, such as Income taxes, excess profits taxes, Inheritance taxes, and stamp taxes.Revenue from these .taxes Increases month by month.\u2014\u2014m A will was written on & hen\u2019s taih and the United States to act as trustees for the South Pacific egg by Mr.Tadd of Cumberland, England, + ) &.M St .« vspaper* \u201c , \u2018\u2019Westmount\u2019s Home Newspaper\u201d THE EXAMINER, FRIDAY, MARCN 24, 1944 i PAGE FIVE Tr The Church Calls to Worship 7 * * * xk * isolated regions of our Domini : : .s on, Alpha Omega | Calvary Church | | Westmount Baptist | || Westmount Park || 1m the cveniug Mr.Goth wil *|* *lor | sat | - preach on the topic: \u2018Prescription The services in Calvary United \u201cMaking Today the Yesterday;

The elementary schools have been included in the \u2018\u2018education made easy\u2019 process, Miss McEl- wain declares.As a result, \u201cour boys and girls can't read, write, spell, or count.\u201d A child \u2018likes the challenge of a hard task properly presented\u201d and is being cheated when he \u2018is permitted to work below his capacity.\u201d She advocates vocational training for young people whose talents are mechanical rather than intellectual.Introduction of a sufficient number of vocational.edu- sation programs has been too long delayed, she holds.Classics and Mathematics \u201cFor the benefit of the intel- dectually gifted, the classics and mathematics should be restored to the curriculum as the subjects which most effectively discipline the mind, stir the imagination and broaden the intellectual horizon,\u201d Miss McElwain says.\u201cIf able students are permitted in their inexperience to deprive themselves of a study of these subjects the future leaders of our democracy are being cheated of the intellectual heritage and historical background which is their right- fu) heritage._ \u201cWe have catered to individuai- ism and failed to deal fairly with the individual,\u201d she continues.\u201cWe have closed our eyes to the only safe investment for our money-\u2014the safeguarding of the minds and characters of our citizens.\u201cThe immediate reform of our educational system is work for parents and teachers, supported and abetted by taxpayers, school boards, politicians.It is the proclivity of human nature-to say \u2018it is not my affair\u2019 but thorough education of each oncoming generation is the affair of every human being who cares about civilization.\u201d C.W.L.Subdivision Holds Bridge and Tea Members and their friends 1n large numbers attended the St.Patrick\u2019g Card Party and tea given by the Westmount Subdivision of the Catholic Women\u2019s League, on March 17th, in St.Leo\u2019s School Hall.The proceeds will be used for the charitable works of the Subdivision.The hall was decorated for the occasion with large Union Jacks and Irish emblems, while the tea-table was arranged with pots of shamrocks and tall, green, lighted tapers.Many attractive door-prizes had been donated and were drawn for, and a drawing was also held for three beautiful and useful articles.* In The Women's Realm -

But much can be done to prevent a neck from aging too rapidly.The consistent use of three aids, neck exercisé\u2019 and good posture comprise the necessary routine for neck beauty.After the skin has been thoroughly cleansed with cream or soap and water, a special astringent is applied with large pieces of absorbent cotton and patted \u201cneck | | i + J.A.Bethune || well into the skin.It is best to use this aid at night before retiring.Following the astringent a rich, oil is applied\u201d to the throat and with sweeping upward strokes.This is to relieve a dry, lined or sagging condition, and it too, should be well patted into the skin so not any is wasted.Let this remain on overnight if you can, but otherwise both the astringent and neck oil could be applied during the day and left on for an hour or two.Every day, every woman past thirty should exercisd to improve her posture and her neck beauty.That old bug-a-boo known as the \u201cdowager\u2019's hump,\u201d can quickly form if one is not careful to exercise and avoid it.Laraine Day hoped to get away from a nurse's role after a long
