Our forefathers who plung- ed into forests infested with Ind- ians and wild animals faced the un- known with no greater hardihood than the modern man who tunes in his radio on a dramatic program. â€" (Hal Frank, in Saturday Night). WHY A DOG TAX? There is no sound reason for th» Imposition of a canine tax. The sys- tem is merely a hang-over from the old days when municlpalitlei collected such fees in order to pro- vide a fund from which to compen- sate sheep owners whose animals had been killed by dogs. No one keeps sheep in Windsor, so far ai we are aware, so therefore there is no need for a fund of this kind. This being the case, why should dog owners have to buy tags for their pets? No one has to pay a fee for keeping a cat, a canary, a par- rot, a peacock, a white rat, a rabbit, or any other pet; why, then, the exception In the case of dogs? â€" Windsor Star. The EMPIRE EMANCIPATED TO DEATH The emancipation of the world goes on. Italy's heart bled for the serfdom of the Ethiopians, so she emancipated Abyssinia. For more than two years General Franco has been striving to emancipate Spain. JajiBtt saw the Chinese suppressed and depressed by their overlords and decided that only emancipation could save China for iwsterlty â€" though whose posterity is not quite clear. And in Middle Europe, where the tide of events ebbs and flows from hour to hour, an emancipation is threatening to reduce the world to the component parts which Zeus found when he took over control from Chaos. â€" The Cape Argus, (Capetown). Won't Take Action On Mars Broadcast The United States Communica- tions Commission has decided to take no action on complaints that the Orson Welles broadcast of Oc- tober 30th caused many radio lis- teners to believe that men from Mars were invading the country. The commission said that it be lieved steps already taken by the Golttmbia Broadcasting Company were sufficient to protect the pub- lic interest. "While it is regrettable that the broaiilcast alarmed a substan- tial number of people," the com- mission said, "there appeared to be no likelihood of a repetition of the incident and no occasion for action by the commission." Farmers' Aid Act Soon To Expire Creditor's Arrangement Law to Suspend in Eastern Canada The end of December will ses the expiration of the operation of the Farmers' Creditors' Ar- rangement Act in Ontario, Que- bec, and the Maritime provinces. In Manitoba and British Columbia the act will expire on .Tune .30. In Saskatchewan and Alberta It will continue indefinitely. The repeal legislation was p.iss- ed at the last session of Parlia- ment, but its operation was delay- ed to permit of the proper wind- ing up of many transactions. The general objection to the ;.ct was that it was passed four years ago to meet an emergency in the farm- ing districts and that four years was a sufficient time for farmers to compose their debts. It has been very widely used. Over 40,000 applications invoking the act related to $240,000,000 of debt. These were reduced by $60,- 000,000, apart from reductions of about four million a year in in- terest rates. Plane Making Pace Soeeded In Dominion Industry Making Canadian War Craft; $10,000,000 British Order Koyal Canadian Air Force auth- orities expect that by mid-sum- mer all aircraft constructed under the 1937 and 1938 defense pro- grams will be delivered. The air- plane industry will then be turn- ing out, more speedily than previ- ously, the planes contemplated in the program which Parliament will vote next ses-sion. The fillip given to the industry by the $10,000,000 order from the British Government has re- sulted in plans being drawn up of a well co-ordinated expansion. Not only will the companies concerned be equipped with facilities to han- dle British orders, but the en- largement necessitated by these will enable them to take care more quickly of Canada's aircraft de- mands. Efforts to popularize the R. C. A. F. and develop air-mindedness among the Canadian people will be continued. It is not unlikely that when all the new craft are deliv- ered some imposing air pageants may be staged at strategic places throughout Canada. The New Ontario Cens«rv«live Leader \% Conipratulated '- I News Parade By Elizabeth Eedy LOST AND FOUND DEPT: Would someone please tell us whether the full-size circus mer- ry-go-round (complete with hors- es, calliope) stolen from a bam near St Catharines this fall has ever been located. Has the thief been apprehended and brought to justice? Or maybe the merry-go- round was just borrowed? â€" â€" THE COAL MAN'S MAD: â€" Though Christmas is only a cou- ple of days away, it doesn't real- ly seem to be that near because the weather has failed so deplor- ably this fall to get into the spirit of the thing. Fuel dealers in On- tario have been tearing their hair over the situation. Stores and shops, selling fur coats, motor- boots, woollen mitts, Christmas gifts have suffered through lack of customer interest. Even the florist was mad â€" people just don't buy flowers if they're still grow- ing in the garden at home. â€" â€" TRAFFIC TOLL: The death rate from automobile accidents in the United States has been cut to one-third below last year's fig- ures. Said to have brought about this big reduction in car â-  fatal- ities: education of public opinion, police vigilance, intensve driver- education campaigns. Canada in the meantime has not improved one iota on her bad traf- fic record of 1937. Just as many dead, as many injured, as ever. We could afford perhaps to profit by the example of our southern neighbors in this regard, don't you think? TO HIM THAT ASKS: Last week we talked a bit about Musso- lini and how Hitler is presumably helping him (the new Franco- German pact notwithstanding) to blackmail the democracies furth- er, to obtain more territory in the Mediterranean basin. Mussolini knows right well that the cry raised for these pieces of land is creating a great ruckus in France and England, that opposi- tion to granting Italy's indirect demands is strong. But the Duce is a patient man. He can wait a while for those territories of Nice, Savoy, Corsica, Tunis. His pur- pose at the moment, we believe, is to scare the democracies into giving him a little something, not as much as he wants, of course, but something. . . .

Answer: Memel Land is a piece of territory, to the north of East Prussia, 1,099 square miles in extent, which by the Treaty of Versailles was taken from Ger- many and placed under League of Nations control. In 1923 it was handed by the allied powers to Lithuania. The population is 152,000, predominantly Germanic. The city of Memel gives Lith- uania its sole access to the sea. Nazis in the territory have for some time been agitating for re- turn of the area to Germany. Nazi victories in the Memel Diet elec- tions last week are regarded as a prelude to a demand for reunion with Germany. The formal de- mand is likely to come in January if Adolf Hitler of Germany does- n't pull a smart "holiday coup" before that date.

National <c Fitness ^ THE FOOT OF THE CLASS by Mrs. Isabel Sills The Collegiate student at an age when outstanding physical defects should already have been correct- ed, often finds himself handicapped by early parental negligence of such factors. Among other defects found frequently in Collegiate stu- dents, are flat feet, foot deformities etc. In February, 1924 an experiment- al survey of the feet of five hund- red Collegiate students Indicated a definite need for education in the matter of foot health. Foot Defects Found Many and various types of feet were discovered. There wero high- arched and low-arched feet, short, broad ones, long toes and short toes, thin feet and thick flabby foet. In addition to minor foot de- fects serious weakness of the feet were discovered, many of them hi- therto unsuspected. The survey revealed that out of the five hundred students Inspected two hundred wore shoes which were too short or too narrow, or had heels which were too high; and seventy-five wore {^mnaslum shoes all day; twenty-five had abnormal nail condition; one hundred had corns, callouses, blistered heels, pressure points and bunions; three had hammer toes; thirty-sevon had overlapping toes; thirty had fallen arches or flat feet; fifty-six had foot strain or weak arches; sixty had fungus infection. As a result of this survey, a planped campaign based on cause, prevention and cor- rection was Immediately st.Trted. Corrective Measures Records revealed that iu thirty cases nineteen were successfully treated by means^ of a properly re- gulated dlet,^ oonrectlve exercises and corrective l^oas. Ingrowing nails were dtie tf improperly fitted shoes' and stockings and Incorrect cutting of the nail. In twenty-five cases, teii 'required surgical treat- ment, but one case was successful- ly treated by the use of a mechan- ical appliance. As a follow-up, advice was given as to the proper types of shoes that should be worn during the period of foot development. The Ideal of better health and greater efficiency from bodies where feet were pro- perly and healthfully shod was up- held, the beauty of shoes well-fit- ted and properly supporting the feet. Home visits were made by the school nurse. Closed GcHrne Areas Fought In Ontario Cbatham Rod and Gun Club Oppose Move â€" Say Far- mera Would Have to Be Own Game Wardens A lengthy discussion on the question of having restricted game areas in Ontario featured the monthly meeting of the Chatham Rod and Gun Club. Members opposed the formation of such areas In the district and claimed the move would create considerable difficulty during the hunting season. See Growth of Poaching The restricted area plan of the Department of Game and Fisher- ies is to have tach townslip limit the number of hunting licenses to 150. The township collects fees for each license and in return far- mers must act as their own game wardens. Under the present plan it would be illegal to movp from one township to the next without having a license for each munici- pality. Behind the plan most members could see a desire on the part of the government to eliminate paid game wardens and leave the onus of stopping poaching on farmers. Because coal production at home is declining, France is im- porting more than 1,000,000 tons a month. The reoults of following this plan of (1) making pedo-graph prints of all students entering the Collegiate for the first time, (2) careful In- spection of infected feet, (3) re- ferring to the family physician all cases requiring attention, have been most satisfactory.
