turers in this country, is.throttled sensical and foolish regulations, consular documents of a most intricate and confusing nature and other obligations imposed upon the Canadian exporter by the governments of the countries in the south section of this continent.Joseph Be Nobils, M.A., officia tuguese at the Montreal Court House, former Secretary and Acting Consul General, and an authority and diplomacy, in South American problems, expressed the above opinion in the course of an address at the regu- far weekly luncheon of the West- mount Rotary Club.Mr.Be Nobile advocated a conference of ministers of commerce and industry in the various countries interested, with a view of drawing up- new trade and customs regulations which would make it easier for manufacturers here to trade with the South American republics which would offer a tremendous field for export trade from the Dominion, The speaker who was intro- \"duced by Rotarian Alec Williams and thanked by Rotarian Donald Ross, spoke as follows: \u201cThe internal prosperity of a country depends principally on the volume of external trade.The amount of exports is naturally - controlled by the number of pros- : perous customers in foreign markets.These obvious facts point Out the necessity of including in our post-war program special \u201c plans for the development of our commercial influence beyond our shores and our borders.At present our export trade runs at the and well versed * Exports America rofitable markets for the manufac- by the garrote of ridiculous, non- 1 interpreter for Spanish and Por- on economics, international law rate of over three billion dollars annually, just about three times the pre-war rate, This figure represents about forty per cent of our national income, but nobody would dare to suggest that our present exports reproduce ordinary peace-time activity.Moreover, if we keep in mind that our present customers will reduce thelr purchases after the war, if we take into account that many countries must recover from war ravages, it follows that we must look for new markets to achieve the reconversion of our national economy, to reach production on the broadest possible scale, to realize full employment as well as a high standard of living in real terms of goods and services.\u201cMany references have therefore been made to the sub-contin- ent and to its vast prosperous markets for Canadian exporters.I take second place to no man in asserting the immense poseibili- ties that South America offers in ithe field of export trade.Hence, South American trade has become a subject on every business- mont avenue, Westmount, who was councillors \u2018A\u2019, in District No.3.ELECTED BY ACCLAMATION _ Joseph Omar Asselin, of 27 Rosemount avenue,

asso- \u2018ciated with newspaper work from his earliest youth as his father owned the Peterboro Review, before becoming interested with his brother Richard in the Gazette.His father urged him to try a business career, and the young man worked in the office of Gault Brothers, a drygoods firm, and later in the Bank of Montreal, but it had been said he had beeh born with a line of type in his hand, and when he was only 18 he became a cub reporter in the Gazette.He was later appointed (Continued on Page 2) *| Christmas Concert At King\u2019s School Pupils of King\u2019s School are holding their

; be used for their social work, Voters Urged To Cast Votes Electors are urgently called upon to cast their vote on December the 11th civic election day.Speakers are visiting industrial plants to address employees to practice their great right and privilege to cast their ballots, and posters are being placed on fronts of street cars, in moving pictures calling upon people to vote.The move is being #ponsored by a special committee composed of the two Boards of Trade and Chamber of Commerce, the City Improvement League and the Citizens\u2019 League.\u2018 At the regular luncheon of the Westmount Rotary Club Wednesday, President Callard, issued a similar appeal and asked all members to persuade their friends te go to the polls on election day.Boys\u2019 Brigade Plans Display Steady progress is being made in planning one of the finest dis plays yet given by the 1st West- mount Company, of the Boys Brigade to take place during the Christmas vacation, preferably ime mediately after the New Year.Drill has been showing steady progress and will be featured as well as physical training which, during this session, has shown tremendous improvement over previous years.Staff-Set.Edwin Goring and Sgt.Alan Keith have proven their efficiency and have assured the officers that this midwinter P.T.exhibition will be a knock-out.Other phases of Brigade work will come in for their credit and even new recruits will have opportunity of taking part.Last week's joint programme augured well for future occasions and the First Company are looking forward to visiting the 6th in the very near future, to return the kindness.Capt.Ron Green of London was deeply impressed by the joint company meeting and took an active part in the entire evening's programme.Inspection was very much improved this past week, with squad two coming up to 1st place, \u2018showing a marked improvement over the past two months.Corp.Jim Dugan has been endeavouring to reach the top and was greatly encouraged by this good showing.The new recruits squad, while abnormally swelled by the rapid influx of additional membership, has also shown great improvement from week to week, and gives every reason to believe that they too will be in the race for top place.Sports will be well developed this winter as the Company is putting two hockey teams into the field, one to enter the Montreal Battalion league of The Boys\u2019 Brigade and the other, the Presby- terilan Sunday School Association league.This Saturday, both teams will practice in the Colliseum and the teams take up their final formation, All

where it is real and does not tions \u2014 is a dynamic affair, ever improvising to meet new difficulties from wtihout or within, fertile in invention and resourceful in expedient, even to the extent of suspending its own animation, as in times of stress of mortal peril when it entrusts life, limb and property to one man or a group of men to whom it accords implicit ob Fascism and dictatorship on the other hand is static and elemental despite its fierce energy its edience.seeming concentrated power and its ready adaptability in things military; and at all times it manifests poverty of conception and inepti-* tude in execution of ideas when confronted by emergency in peace or war.Paradoxically it has heen the concentration of the Third Reich on war and weapons of war that hag led to its defeat in war.German sclence, hdrnessed to the charlot of war and prostituted to serve the ends of Nazi ideology, has nevertheless failed its new masters.It is the lands which still pursued science at least in part for its own sake that have produced the new weapons which frustrated Hitler's scheme to enslave a world.Sir Robert Watson-Watts discovery of radar, when engaged in research directed towards other ends is an excellent example.One main reason why dictatorship stultifies itself thus, lies in its unwillingness to acknowledge that a situation may arise for which Jt has not the correct remedy.Faced with a breakdown or blockage in the machinery of state, the tryant, who has heen accustomed to \u2018\u201c\u2018think\u201d with his blood, as the unamiable Mosley in England used to put it \u2014 in other words not to think at all \u2014 is apt to flatter himself that he has thea solution in further tightening retx.\"Wion, in enlarging the soncentration camps and inflicting @till harsher punishments for competence or carelessness, in cutting the Gordian knot instead of unravelling it.That supreme autocrat, Czar Nicholas I when presented with rival plans for the first railway leading out of St, Petersburg cut short the disputants by calling for a map and drawing a perfectly straight line from the capital with the re.uark \u201cMake {t as I have drawn.\u201d The Czar\u2019s will was absolute; the railway was built without a curve, but the result was that it ran through miles of forest country, leaving many important communities, which it might easily have served, without a station at all.Human affairs cannot be handled in that drastic fashion.+ ¥ * -Slowly but surély \u201cbroadening from precedent to precedent\u201d, democracy is ironing out its anomalies, removing an obstacle here, checking lop-sided development there, borrowing at one time from the practice of ancient kings, at another copying the devices of modern business, and even when need be, emulating the strategy of the dictators who are seeking to destroy it.Ever con- trained to justify itself by the tendency of mankind to cease from striving for improvement and hark to the uneasy past and freedom from individual responsibility, democracy is always self- conscious, kinetic and nervous, painfully aware of its faults and deficiencies and never tranguil in the assurance of Buddhist or Brahmin that what has been, is and ever shall be, Looking at one of its own creations, democracy is apt to catch its breath and shudder as did the fictional scientist when he brought into being the monster Frankenstein in Mary Shelley\u2019s extravaganza.That creation is ofe ficialdom and bureaucracy.Not.because they have a double portion of original sin, but simply because: they are men and women, with the weaknesses inherent in all mankind, officials, particularly of long tenure in their posts, are tempted to forget they are servants and to assume the role of masters, who know what just is best for the rank and file.Such state of mind is in itself sufficient to make its possessor unre- ceptive to new ideas and opposed to change.Who has not encountered the bureaucrat who wants to be counsel, judge and jury in all cases that affect him person- 1 ally; the official who resents inquiry and who finds things quite perfect as they are.\u201cLet sleeping dogs lie,\u201d must first have been coined by an office holder who did not want to be disturbed from his slumbers.Modern democracy 50 long imbued with the idea that it has discharged the duties of citizenship by taking that long walk or automobile ride to the polling booth and marking a cross opposite one or more names, and which then thanks Providence that the rest can be left to those who are paid to do it, creates the ideal atmosphere for that rank and luxurious growth\u2014bureau- cracy.Fortunately in this day and age when this peril, through the necessary, multiplication of controls and offices, has become greater than ever, we have the necessary correctives at hand to the exercise of direct citizenship in our public opinion polls, our municipal associations and our community councils.* * ¥* There is no depreciation of representative democracy in the unofficial organizations which have sprung up not only in West- mount, Notre Dame de Grace, Verdun and Hampstead, but in many alert communities all over Canada.It is significant that these have hitherto been confined to localities where representative government is vigorous and popular and where the right to elect municipal rulers has been freely exerted with intelligence, discretion and ability to estimate the character of those who offer themselves for selection.No one with a modicum of historical acumen and imagination can join inthe deliberations of these truly and literally \u2018popular\u2019 assemblies without feeling himself part of a noble succession extending through the town meetings of New England colonies, the councils of the English hundreds, the Anglo Saxon moot, and Witan, back through the centuries to the gatherings of the free men of the Greek city states, each asserting his right of direct consultation in the framing of policy which might preserve his home or liberties or lead to the disappearance of both before the advent of a foreign or domestic tyrant.Plato's conception of the ideal state as one large enough to equip an army and small enough to let the voice of the orator carry to the outermost citizen in the crowd assembled in square or amphitheatre, vanished with the growth of the vast republics and empires, although a twentieth-century marvel of science brings it once again within the realm of possibility.Be that as it may, this revival today of an old Greek institution, forgotten or despised in the heyday According to word received by his parents, Mr.and Mrs.W.F.Sparrow, who reside at 223 Melville Avenue, Westmount, their son, Sgt.Frank Harris Sparrow, 25, has been wounded in action in Italy.He received a bullet in his ankle and was also injured by landmine fragments.He is listed in the cagualty list as * slightly wounded.\u201d .Sgt.Sparrow, who was born in Montreal, was educated at West Hill High School and Sir George Williams College.He was em- oyed by the C.P.R.when he enlisted.He went overseas with the Royal Montreal Regiment, but later transferred to the Princess Pats Canadian Light Infantry.He has been overseas since December, 1939.A brother, Lieut.Walter Sparrow, is with the Carlton-York \u2018regiment from New Brunswick, and expects to go overseas for the second time in the very near future.Sgt.Sparrow\u2019s father is a veteran of the last Great War and of the present one.R.S.White.(Continued from Page 1) commercial and

he had the distinction of being the first Conservative to be declared elected in all Canada.Running in the new dQonstituency of St.An- toine-Westmount, he received an overwhelming majority.He was for many years Collector of Customs for the Port of Montreal, holding the post for 22 years.Mr.White was married twice, in 1884 to the daughter of George McDougall, of Montreal, and in 1888 to Annie Helen

all statesmen would be philosophers and none but philosophers statesmen.By its open door of membership to the meanest and poorest elector, so long as he is interested in the common good, by its open and untrammelled discussions, undisturbed and undeflected by partisan loyalties and the obligations of office, by its power to mobilize that sleeping wonder-worker, public opinion, by the wealth of information and counsel uncovered through its research committees, by its filling in of gaps in the average citizen's knowledge of his own affairs, the Community Coun- cll has proved itself a valuable guxiliary of good government and an important factor in constantly increasing the intelligence quot- fent of an informed electorate\u2014 removing all doubt as to the ability of the democratic system

THE big snowstorm last week caught many local motorists without chains, much to their sorrow~and the sorrow of others who had to waste valuable time sitting in tram cars while automobiles vainly \"strove to get off the tracks.This happens every, year.Hundreds of motorists never give chains a thought until there is a foot of snow on the streets, But this do&sn\u2019t deter them from undertaking to make the office without chains blizzard or no blizzard.The result usually is that they end up by leaving their car in a snowdrift after delaying the passage of numerous workers on their way to office and factory.It seems that the only way to cure this type of procrastination is to pass a by-law that would slap a fine on anyone driving without chains in wintertime.- Informed and Uninformed Opinion EDITORS, politicians, advertisers and manufacturers have long known that what informed people think about an idea or a product is far more important than what uninformed people think.Publications with small circulation are often far more influential than others with ten times as many readers.The former are read by people who are themselves editors, politicians, and molders of public opinion.Whaen they get what seems to be a good idea they adopt it and pass it along.Some keen students of trends in ideas and things are beginning to wonder whether it is wise, or ever was wise, to ask every Dick, Tom, and Harry what he thinks, and to let policy-making be governed by the answers.For example, can a politician ever reach the stature of a statesman if he waits to hear from his constituents before he votes on any issue?Presumably, any public office holder is better informed than the vast majority of voters.Hold Those Bonds! .IN postwar planning, everybody has to do some thinking about himself.Not even the universities or the banks can be expected to ignore their own survival, writes William Feather.Hence we are not surprised to note that the Consumer Banking Institute of Washington, whose monthly publication seems to be sponsored by personal lending agencies, is proposing that owners hang on to their War Bonds at war\u2019s end and finance their peacetime purchases with borrowed funds.We are pleased to state that the argument appears sound and patriotic.If everybody cashes his bonds and rushes into the market for an automobile and a hundred other war- restricted accessories, the nation will be in a pretty mess\u2014not to mention the agencies that make a living by discounting installment paper.Aside from the self-interest angle, it does seem wise to caution people against squandering their savings.If they hoard their bonds and buy what they can from income and personal credit, they will help to prevent inflation and they will retain a backlog that will come in handy for a rainy day or when they want a long vacation.Value For Your Money THE universal.price of a shoe shine seems to be a dime, plus tip, although the price of a cup (or pot) of coffee ranges from a nickel to half a dollar.The quality of both shines and coffee varies enormously, although in the case of coffee the least expensive is likely to be as good as the most expensive.It pays to seek the places where you get the best value for your money, even in small things.In some spots cigars are so inexpertly conditioned that they are unfit to smoke although they sell at the identical price charged by the best dealers.It is inexplicable why some cigar stands hide their reasonably priced cigars whereas other stands, seemingly serving a better- heeled clientele, put the popular brands where the customers can get at them.Charter.Twenty-four clever pie- there is a frank desire for un- Book Review by Howard S.Ross A New State to Keep Europe's Peace We are now resigning ourselves, apparently, to the incorporation of the Baltic countries by Russia, and her sphere of influence south to the Balkans.But a free federation of the 11 states of Middle Europe is still an alternative with the weight of history and reason behind it.In Central Union of Europe (Me: Bride, $2.00), Peter Jordon states hls case forcefully, albeit some- torial maps retell the story

the Fellowship of Reconciliation, of Boston, and the New England Office of the National Council for Prevention of War, is something unique and, in view of the times in which it is published, striking and dramatic.For the paper - covered, magazine - style pamphlet of 130 pages, beautifully printed and artistically conceived throughout, is a frank effort to present the pacifist view of life in war and peace, both for those who approve and those derstandihg, even by those who will withhold endorsement.The editor has roamed widely through books, magazines, and the current press, ranging from statements by Erasmus to more immediate wartime pronouncements.Copies are available from \u2018\u2018The @Gist,\u201d\u201d 21 Coolidge Road, Cambridge, Mass., at 25 cents each, or five for

General Interest Are Discussed The épinions expressed in this Forum are not necessarily those of this newspaper, and it does not accept responsibility for them.War marriages which will wither away are another tragedy of the war.High authorities in the United States, and perhaps Canada, will be about the same, give some alarming percentages as to probable fgilures.There will be one out of every four or five, and ten per cent.of war marriages are not worth saving, it is claimed.The American Magazine, quotes Paul Popenoe, SC,D., general director of the American Institute of Family Relations on the subject.And he gives some advice worth considering.Dr.Popenoe believes that ninety per cent.of wartime marriages are based upon sincerity and honest affection, even though many of them are hasty.\u201cAt least a million would not have occurred except for the pressure of war,\u201d Dr, Popenoe states.\u201cThat means at least 2,000,000 newlyweds, plus an incomputible number of in-laws, on both sides, who will have to prepare for personal adjustments.\u201d In most war marriages the bride has been the aggressor, the one who wanted to be married, and it'll be up to her to do most of the adjusting, says Dr.Popenoe, who adds: \u201cHer principal job in life must be to make herself into the ideal her hushand expects.Men coming home from the war will be in no mood to adjust themselves to the whims of a woman.\u201cWar brides must comprehend that no girl was ever born with the talent to be a perfect wife for a specific man.Happiness in marriage is an \u2018achievement, an accomplishment resulting from earnest effort.So the bride must study her husband, and the best teacher is his mother.\u201cA soldier husband's letters are another index to his true self, In them, sometimes between the lines, the bride may discern what he expects to find when he comes home.She'd better be prepared to deliver it.\u201d Soldiers have dreamed of coming home to the most beautiful, most perfect wife in the world, the most beautiful, most perfect home, And the bride who hasn\u2019t taken steps to measure up to those specifications, \u2018may safely anticipate trouble,\u201d asserts Dr.Popenoe.% * * Do you want soap or glamor?Consumers Union asks in its September issue.You can pay 4c to 10c a cake if it's soap you're after.If you want glamor with a little soap thrown in, by all means buy Elizabeth Arden, Dorothy Gray or Lentheric at 50c to $1.Either way you\u2019ll get a good, mild soap which will clean your face but will not prevent or cure dry skin or wrinkles.As a result of government action, the Col- gate-Palmolive-Peet Company has promised to stop representing that \u201cthe use of Palmolive soap and water has any direct effect .upon the skin except as a mild

windows, it would be a mighty nice feeling to be able to rejoice in being part of the great throng who have sacrificed, even in a small way, to preserve the kind of world Jesus taught us to want, This isn\u2019t a time to be thinking of self, nor even too much about one's own family and friends.We need to take the broader view, This isn't a time to wear ourselves out with futilities.It is a time to put first things first.Let us plan for a Merry Christmas, certainly.But let us not forget about the woeful little mites overseas who have never known Christmasses when fruit and milk and candy were plentiful and when roofs stayed put overhead; let us make certain that all the boys in hospitals here get a Christmas present of some kind, eloquent of our friendly interest and gratitude.Let us give all we can to Christmas Anti T-B Seals, the Red Cross, Christmas dinners for the aged and destitute, and many more organizations of a like kind who can do with an EXTRA Christmas gift.Let us, humbly remembering the magnitude of the sacrifice of those on far battle fronts, celebrate the Divine birthday by thoughtful giving.Let our gifts be of such a nature as to be particularly pleasing to Him who

ENTERTAIN ST.AUGUSTINE\u2019 The St.Augustine's Women's Club held the December meeting on Monday evening at the church hall, Mrs.L.T.Cronin, president, was in the chair, and the proceedings opened with a short business session, Mrs.Cronin reminded the members and friends of the turkey parties to he held on Thursday and Friday evenings, December 14th and 15th, The entertainment provided for the evening proved to be excellent.Mrs, Mary Brophy O'Flaherty, mono-dramatist, was heard in several sketches, Perhaps the most outstanding were an old Irish legend of the Christ Child, which was touching and seasonal and a portion of a scene from Maxwell Anderson's \u2018Mary of Scotland\u201d, in which she played the part of the unhappy queen and in which her rendition was greatly enhanced by her

Westmount Girls\u2019 HI-Y Club Sadie Hawkins dance in the gymnasium of West- mount High School.Starting time is nine o'clock and the gen- tlemer supplying the noise are Eddy Blair and his very capable band, headed by 11bc's clarinet- playing Bain Macaskill who played for the justly famous Modern- aires last year.The Blair men made quite a hit at the graduation dance on November 17 and dance committee head Sheila Taylor is confident that the music is in excellent hands.Just in case you've forgottem, the gals working with Sheila are Pat McGoun, Sheila Boland, Molly Laurin, Joan Macaulay and Patty Pearce, William Macdonald has taken over the management of the drinks department.Wee Wil] is crdering, selling and lining up assistamts, The dance, however, is not the only thing which has been occupying the minds of president Inger Jorgensen\u2019s organization.At Wednesday's noon meeting, held in the school, the girls discussed plams for the four parties which they are giving for underprivileged children on December 22, And speaking of December 22 the executives of both the school\u2019s Hi-Y clubs got.together yester- aay afternoon to discuss plans for the big Christmas party which is being held in the local Y on that night.It should be quite an affair.Last night's scheduled meeting of the boys\u2019 Hi-Y was cancelled due to tonight's city wide Hi-Y rally which is being held in the Westmount Y.Each girls\u2019 club in the city is being asked to send two delegates while the boys\u2019 groups are gending unlimited delegations, Westmount is the host club.\u201cTHE MONTHLY\" Only three more days and West- mount High's own school newspaper, published by the boys\u2019 Hi- Y club, hits the stands.Yes, sir, on Monday issue number ome will be making its rounds of the institutions and judging from advance reports there's going to be a sell-out.And no wonder, for the six- page mimeographed publication is just chock-full of news, features, gossip and breezy editorials which should appeal to all Westmount Highers.Feverish last minute stories are being penned at this very eecond by The Monthly's very capable editorial staff headed by sports editor John Oliver, news editor Len Beaton, and gossip gatherer Bob Grant, assisted by his harem.All in all, it looks like The Monthly has come to stay.SPORTS FRONT Both Westmount High's basketball and hockey squads are rounding into shape but the mews of the week is that Ray Binmore, would-be hockey goalie and star guard of the basketball quintet, may be playing for two teams.There's nothing definite yet but Ray is hoping that he will get an O.K.to goal for the hockey team, a job which will save his legs for the indoor sport, and star for the basketball team again.Members of both squads are hoping that the green light will be flashed for the indomitable Rupe ls am asset to any team, © Mr.G.P.Smith\u2019s puck-chasers seemed to think that the Purple and White wearers were flying in pre-season form.Spear-heading the attack were Dave \u2018\u2018Chink\u2019\u2019 Harvie and Billy Coles, two-thirds of last year's starting forward line, whose razzle-dazzle passing has been something to see.Slim and wiry Jack MacKissock has also been weaving his.way wvetween opposing defence combinations with his old-time abandon and skill and other forwards who deserve honourable mention include Jeff Messenger, Warren Chippendale, Frankie Read and Joe Wright.On the blue line brigade Kyle \u201cKiller Prescott's work has been outstanding while Sandy Edmison, ginger-haired hefty who did a lot of the Senior B's defensive work last year, as well as husky John Oliver are laying into attacking forwards with devastating hody-checks.The puck men are hoping that Eric Swaine, defemsive bulwark, who holds down a Saturday job, will be out practising soon.In the meantime, the big Ric is perfecting his body-checking in inter- class basketball] games.Whetber or not Ray Binmore or Bill Macdonald will be doing the goal-tending has not yet been decided and most observers think i's a toss-up.Both have been showing up well in practice sessions, BASKETBALL After trouncing Mont St.Louis 23-12 on the Westmount court last Wednesday, to register their first win of the geason against one loss, the local basketball hopefuls scrimmaged with Catholic High this Wednesday and again the work of shifty Wolf Seimers and speedy Jack Dudley was outstarding while Ray Bin- more and Hugh Cameron also came in for their share of the orchids.What elates the bounce ball boys most, though, is the probability that Mr, Buckmaster will take over coaching duties.The new chem teacher came to West- mount with a wealth of basketball coaching experience behind him and the only thing deterring him from taking the job is that it takes him an hour to get from his home to the school.and vice versa.The basketballers may charter a taxi, By the time opening day rolls around in January Westmount should have a championship Senior A squad but the Senior B\u2019sterg are complaining because there is only one school basketball practice a week and of late they have been deprived of that due to exhibition games, They'd like to see last year's three practices a week system put into force once more.As things stard now, it won't be until the end of the inter-class football schedule.VOX DUCUM Bigwigs of Westmount High's annual met in the library Tuesday afternoon and after more than an hour of heated discussion and debate they had chosen the mag\u2019s staff amd laid preliminary plans.The deadline for all literary work is February 28.That means that the writers of the institution will have to get to work immediately and start pouring their material into literary editor Peter Scott.Graduation photos will be taken at Jacoby studios starting the week after the Christmas holidays and it is quite probable that some daring innovations in makeup will be instituted this year.The bigwigs\u2019 Tuesday confer- erce was followed by a.meeting of the Voxie\u2019s publicists on Wednesday and a gathering of would- be biographers yesterday.Here's the staff: Managing editor: Lawrence Hutchison; associate editor: Sam Freedman; literary editor: Peter Scott; lter- ary assistants: David Lockerby, Natalie Foch, John Hammond, Nat Liebman, David Marshall, J.J.Robinson; assistant editors: Peter Seimers, Bill Milne; sports editor: Sandy Edmisor with Anne Rubenstein aid Jimmy Rose as sisting; activities department: John Oliver, Chippy Batshaw; publicity department: manager, Jack, Shayne; assistanis, Mac Ellis, Ian Macaulay, Bill Roberts aid Sue Haire; photography department: Joe Duffin, David and Bobby Asch; biographies department managers: Peter Oliver, Margaret Carrie; art department: Lia Margulies

Wriggles- worth, Eileen O'Keefe and Connie Dibblee; proof reader: Lyon Nathanson; advisors: Mr, P, L.Wearing and Master E.G, Coch- rane.Photographer Joe Duffin is going to start taking school team ples immediately and with the energetic combine of Laurie Hut- chison and Sam Freedman doing the organizing, it is almost a certainty that the 1945 issue of Vox Ducum will go down in history as one of the best ever.STUDENT CONFERENCE Back in civilisation once more aîter spending last week-end attending a provincial conference of student cduncil leaders at Lennox- ville and Sherbrooke, Sam Freedman

Join Municipal Hockey League Fourteen teams were represented at the Westmount Municipal Hockey League meeting held at Victoria Hall on Monday night.The Panthers bantams, although not represented, will have an entry in the league, bringing the total number of teams up to fifteen.it is hoped to get at least one more bantam and one more midget \u201cB\u201d team into the fold before the season starts and any club wishing to enter these sections or any of the others should get in touch with Recreation Supervisor Jim McCormick, at the office in the greenhouse, immediately.The 15 clubs are comprised of six juvenile entries, the largest number in some years; three midget \u201cA\u201d clubs; two midget \u201cB\u201d clubs and four bantams.The juvenile entries are Doug Alexander's Golden Eagles, BiH Cameron\u2019s Monarchs, Frank Crea- ghans, Weredale, Unity Boys\u2019 Club and-the Claremont Barracks.The midget \u201cA\u2019 teams are Bert Read\u2019s Golden Eagles, Richard Lord\u2019s Tornados and the - Monarchs.The midget \u201cB\u2019 entries are Andy McGillis\u2019 St.Leo\u2019s team and Richard Lord's Tornados.The four bantam teams are Bob Beal's Golden Eagles, Andy MeGillis\u2019 St.Leo's, Ross Gilling- ham\u2019s Panthers and Richard Lord\u2019s Tornados., The league schedule will open on Wednesday, January 3, 1945, but in the event of continued cold weather and the rinks are opened in the early part of December, the back half of the schedule will be picked up this month.The juveniles will play on Mondays and Wednesdays with a twin bill at Westmount Park on each of these nights while the Unity Boys\u2019 Club will play their home games on Monday night at the new Queen\u2019s rink and the Weredale team will play their home games on Wednesdays at the Staynor rink.The teams will meet each other twice and in the event of the Army coming one, two, three in the final standing and copping a playoff berth, they will receive a bye while the other two clubs play off for the right to represent Westmount in the Q.A.H.A.play- downs.The midget game nights have not been definitely decided upon yet but with three teams in the midget \u201cA\u201d group and in all probability the same set up in the \u201cB\u201d division, they will have three games a week.This means that they will probably play Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.Another midget *\u201cB\u201d team is needed to round out this section.The bantams will play on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons as per usual with the possibility of some mid-week afternoon games.When a bantam game is postponed, the next game between the teams will be a four point affair.This rule was in effect last year and it got over the hump of à lot of postponed fixtures naking the youngsters play mid-week night games, LEAGUE JOTTINGS: An effort is being made to have Ossie Dal- zell look after the juvenile section affairs.Dalzell is a member of the R.C.A.F.at the moment but may receive his discharge, he was seriously injured in a plane crash some time ago and has been back on active service for some time now .referees are needed by the league, at the present time, only Bob Brennan and

sweaters and stockings are on hand already.The sweaters are an eye dazzling gold with brown trimmings .the Claremont Barracks\u2019 team is said to be a much improved one over last year\u2019s entry,

Beal, coach of the Bantams, gave a short talk on hockey, describing its history in different countries and its place in the modern sporting world, He emphasized his opinion that the best instruction to the lad who wants to be a good player, is to practise faithfully.Get on the ice whenever possible, skate freely, stick handle through imaginary foes, strengthen ankles, pepper the goal from all angles, and endeavour to get the flick of the wrist that puts zip into your shot.While outlining the requirements on how to play each position, he suggested to the boys to select their favourite position early, and to concentrate upon it so that they may become a specialist.In closing, he told the hoys that if they were to make a success of hockey, they should love the game and to practise persistently till they mastered all their mistakes.The youthful player must be courageous, aggressive and determined, but this persistency, he warned, must not he accompanied by poor sport- manship or dirty play.This year\u2019s Bantams are off to a good start and any players wishing to try out with the team should get in touch with Doug Alexander or Bob Beal as soon as possible, \u201cPardon me,

many countries, the weight must be declared in kilograms.1f the weight is mentioned in pounds, a fine is automatically imposed.In one republic, the shipment is covered only by the commercial invoice.Other governments require a.consular invoice and a certifi- cale of origin.In other cases, the consular Invoice is unnecessary if the value of the merchandise is under a certain amount.Some countries do not require a certificate of origin.One government requires the international customs declaration forms; another republic is satisfied with the ordinary form.One consul sells consular {invoices at .10 cents per copy: another, .20 cents: and the consul of another country wants a dollar for each copy.In the last Instance, the exporter must pay five dollars, for the consular invoice must he prepared in five copies.If he makes a mistake, he has to buy another set.The result of all these inextricable bureaucratic formalities \"is a situation of obvious confusion and remarkable obscurity.Under the present circumstances and regulations, there is every probability that the exporter.for want of experience, for want ot sim- pJicity and clearness, is bound to make mistakes when he starts business with South America.This means that fines await his shipment at the country of destination.Unfortunate Incidents \u201cI could cite countless unfortunate incidents that have happened and are happening every day in several South American countries.Let the following suffice to sum up the disgraceful present situation \u201cOne Canadian firra made its firat shipment to a Spanish-Am- \u2018erican courtry a few months ago by pavcel-post.According to the rexvlations of that Republic, the net weight and the gross weight in k'wgrams had to he mentioned on the label attached to the parcel.\u2018The evess weight was omitted and the exporter paid a substan- tlul fine \u201cor the cm:ssion.May I add tha this international picture i= all the more interesting in the Hzht of the unassailable fact that customs cfficers of certain South American conntries enjoy a percentage on every fine that they impose.In my humble opinion, these financial advantages bestowed upon civil servanis constitute a breach of healthy government administration.t£mploy- ees of the State shoulé do their duty without the help of pecuniary reward.The percentage granted to customs officers is a proof nf he hackward and awkward legisle tion of these American countries.So.the Canadian firm Teferrec to above paid che fine, but did not forgct to state hoth weights on its sccond shipment.This time, Instean of sending the goods tv parcel-post, th.Company had to send \u2018he mer \u2018handire by alr-express because of the urgency of that business tratsac- tlon The cuticr-er informed the firm {hat rnother pena't: had been imposed.Have you any idea why the second fine was estab- ished?The exporter had to pay another penalty because on air- express shipments the weight must be specified, not in figures, but in letters.Another Caradian businessman went to live in a South American country for a year.He imported canned food from a highly reputable Canadian firm.When the goods arrived, he patd the customs duties and sold the products.Three months after the sale had taken place, an inspector of that particular government entered the store, and, after examining a can.said that the food was no good, and that the whole stock had to be confiscated.The Canadian agent wrote to the Montreal firm.and the latter replied that it had sold mil- Mons and millions of cans, and that they had never had any tronble.I could multiply.these examples for hours and hours, but THE EXAMINER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1944 I believe the incidents mentioned do sufficlently describe the ser!- ousness of the South American trade situation.The resulting problem must be solved if we Wish to succeed in expanding our export trade to those countries.These are obstacles of international significance and of increasing gravity for they certainly annihilate that mutual commercial confidence which is absolutely indispensable in all fields of transactions, and most specially in the realm of export trade.The loss of confidence is {inevitably followed by the successive or simultaneous cessation and stagnancy of commercial relations.The discontinuance of exports involves disastrous consequences on the internal prosperity of the country.All these unnecessary and prejudicial difficulties infringe the principle of commercial interdependence of the different countries, since they do prevent the unimpeded development of export activities.This problem must therefore be solved and, in my humble opinion, the solution is as follows.I believe in the necessity of an immediate conference of all the Ministers ef Trade and Commerce of the Americas with a view to reaching the systematic elimination of all these permanent disturbances by means of a general simplification of all consular formalities and documents, It is imperative that all governments should adopt a uniform legislation concerning exports and shipping, dispensing with all the useless and preposterous products of excessive intellectual exercise.All American countries must face the fact that their economic prosperity is at stake in all they are doing to prevent the easy and safe flow of goods.The extreme diversity of all those hair-splitting formalities is causing so many mistakes, so many fines, so many complica-' tions, so many misunderstandings and so many confiscations that our commercial expansion is jeopardized on account of the inconceivable difficulties involved in the transaction.7 International Conference \u2018That is why I am of the opinion that all leading figures in either government or business should demand this international conference and the consequent collective agreement.Once again I must emphasize that all these aisturbances do frustrate our trade aims in South America.It is the mission of all governments to facilitate commercial relations and to.simplify the formalities governing shipments.I am sure that you all agree with me, gentlemen, that, if it has been possible to adopt the Pan-American Postal Convention, it is not impossible to reach a collective agreement whereby all countries will accept the unification of all consular and shipping regulations and documents, Merely Realistic \u201cIn trying to give realistic weight to all these obstacles, I am not trying to be pessimistic but realistic.Unless the American countries conclude an Inter-Am- erican agreement involving continental unity of shipping regulations, I think it is not unfair to say paradoxically that at present it is a little more useful or easier to buy from them than to sell to them.But our national economy demands that we be more interested In selling possibilities and at present a Canadian firm wishing to do business with South America is not so well organized and specialized as to be able to avoid complications.The uniformity of documents for all American nations is, in my opinion, as obviously important as the Export Credits Insurance Act passed by Parliament in August of this year.Notwithstanding the laudable purpose of that legislative measure, \u201cWestmount\u2019's Home Newspaper\u201d \u2018Canadian exporters will not suce ceed in establishing their influe .ence if the authorities do not take action in this matter.Consular Service \u201cIt 18 also essential that Canada should establish a consular service to protect our commercial interests.Our consuls must come mand the language of the couns try and all foreign consuls in Cane ada must know our language If they want us to understand their shipping regulations, We must also have ambassadors in all American countries and they too must speak the language of the Republic to which they are accres dited.Our diplomatic appointments must be made on merit alone, regardless of political support and regardless of age.\u201cAnd since the name of Cans ada is honoured and glorified not only in Europe but also in Amerfs ca, and since our reputation and greatness are of great universal significance from the standpoint of external trade, let us apply our energy and ingenuity to extend our influence throughout the Ame ericas, so that \u2018we may look fore ward to a leading place among commercial nations and to the expansion of our domestic prosperity.\u201d\u2019 ALTHOUGH HIS TAIL IS CLUMSY AND HEAVY, IT IS THE GILA MONSTER'S PRIDE, IT CANNOT GROW TOO FAT
