NEWS PARADE... THE TRUMP CARD: Some people. oura»lTei among them, have been. woBderiiiir. why, In the face of ao 'terr little done, ao very little to offer, the federal government â- faould choose to call an election thle tall. How, we pondered, could tliey expect anybody .o vote (or them â€" with no platform, no issue? Then like a flash we remember- *d . . . The Rowell Comuiisslon re- port! When that tremendous- docu- ment la made public, the present JLlberal administration will have something to show for Its work of the past four years, a nev.- program to offer for the future. Ontll that report comes our. then, expect little acirity in federal Lib- eral circles, few pronouncements coming forth from Parliansnt Hill, BLOODLESS CONQUEST DES- TINED TO DIVIDE WORLD: At the recent two-week symposium on world affairs under the sponsorship ot the University of Virginia, one of the ilxty speakers, Brue Hopper, professor of government at Har- vard University, said that the -world apparently Is going through a stage of transition involving ab- sorption of small nations by large vtatea. He wejttl on to say that Reichs- fuehrer Adolf Hitler's program of bloodless conquest. If carried to its logical end, would result in a re- dlvision of the earth into five zones ot Military Power. The process Is apparently destined to divide the world Into the following regions: 1. British-French; 2. A German Mittel Europe, Including Italy as a vassal, with small satellite nations con- trolled from Vienna or Berlin in foreign relations and commerce, with all pursuing an an;i-Semetlc policy; 3. The Soviet Union, reach- ing across the nomadlands to West- ern China; *. Japan and coastal China; B. The United States, with Canada within its zone ot defence. "Such an alignment." he says, "'would leave Africa, Latin Amer- ica, Western Asia and India open to new imperialism." JAPAN IN CHINA: The Chinese war entered its third year early this month and it has been expres- sed that the Japanese Army has made Itself largely self safTicient on Chinese soil. The general feeling was that Ja- pan had overburdened herself with acquisUion of Chinese properties â- uci as mines and factories and that her adventure in China has been an expensive one, but those feelings have faded somewhat in observing the last two years of the steadily progressive penetration. The plans Japan acquired are now being inexpensively run by forced labor and the financial drain has not had the effect first expect- ed by competent observers In China. The war is generally estim- ated to have cost betw^eeu 4,000,000 and S,00O,OO0 lives, counting sold- iers and civilians killed directly In bombings, and civilians who died as resolt of floods and disease indir- ectly caused by war. THE WEEK'S QUESTION: is the Dominion's export trade showing an increase or a decrease for this year? Answer: .4n increase!

How to Produce Clean Farm Milk Exclude Contamination From All Sides â€" Attention Should Be Paid To Stable, Animal*, Utensils WiU Life At Luxury Resort In The Rockies In the Illustrated t'.iru,-,s' bul- letin, "Producing Clean Milk" just Issued by the Dominion OoiLirl-jient of Agriculture, the author. Dr, A. G. Lochhead, Dominion .Agricultural Bacteriologist, states that to pro- duce the highest grade of milk, con- tamination from all sides aiust na- turally be excluded as far as pos- sible. Only when care is paid to stable, animals, utensils, und the method used by the milker can the cleanest milk be drawn. A produc- er intent upon cleaning up his milk â- apply can best commence by en- suring that bis pails are cleau and scalded and that the chance ot dirt MUng from ti; cow into "he pail I, reduced to a minimum. While other sources of bacteria serve to add to th" germ-content of the milk, yet in comparison with the chief sources, namely badly or eareleesly cleaned palls and dirt from the cow, they are ot minor Importance and have undoubtedly been glren too much emphasis in the past Pot ten years Prank Jenkins, a Briton, and his school-teacher fl- anrcc, Helen Proctor, of .Mberta, exchanged love letters.

The pretty little animal, only a few hours old and not much bigger than the pretty head of the excited young lady who found him, is the offspring of a mule deer, a type of game that roams free and unmolested in the Banff area. It is the doe's natural habit to hide her young during the day, ministering to it only at night. â€" Canadian Pacific Photo. o NTARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER FISH TRADED FOR BUFFALO Ontario sportsmen stand to lose more than they gain from those of Alberta under a recent trade ar- rangement by the Federal Depart- ment; of Game and Fisheries. On- tario will swap 300 of her famous fighting smallmouth black bass for 23 Aliertan bulTalo on the hoof in the- e>:chanse agTecment. The bass will be 'Drought to the Dominion lish hatcheries at Banff and Watcvton Lakes in Alberta for spawning purposes. Their off- sprii!g will provide thrilling: sport for anglers in the lakes and streams of the western province. The bass, each weighing about three pounds, will be loaded at Spanish, Ont., in the Georgian Bay district. Ontario sportsmen, on the other hand, will get no chance of sport i:i shooting the game the province receives in the trade. The buffalo will be shipped to the Burwash Game Preserve in Xorthern On- tario and there turned loose in tfeh parklands â€" 35,000 acres of which has been created a buffalo reserve.

No Virtue In Length As we 'have remarked, there is nothing new about it, but it is fair- ly oavious that not a few of our public speakers, official or other- wise, have either never beard the sage advico or, hearln,". have never learned its wisdom.

Appetite Is Man's Enemy Dittinguished Doctor Says A Day Will Come V/hen We'll Be Sorry For Not Having Eaten The Rigkt Foods .4n American's appetite is his worst enemy, believes Dr. Victor Heiser, eminent U. S. medical man. "The average .•\raer:can is more concerned with filling his stomach than with what he puts in it," said Dr. Heiser. "But the day will come when people will realize thi.y are what ihey eat and that their health depends on their food intake." "Doesn't Fill Need" Dr. Heiser said that hunger pangs axe "simply the call of nat- ure for something needed by the system. "But instead ot eating well-bal- anced rations to provide that need, a man goes out and fills up on meat and potatoes. That satisfies the hunger, but i: doesn't fill the need. " Greatest Drought In 17 Centuries Predicted for 1966 â€" Last One Of Equat Magnitude Happen- ed During Fall of Ronnan Empire, Geological Expert Declares A prediction the greatest drought in 17 centuries would come 27 years hence is made by Halbert P. tiillette. geologist and meteorology rese.irch. He said h-j found evidence in the rocks there was a 1701-year rainf.ill cycle, having sub-cycles of 567 and ISO years. He said the year 196S would be the bottom of all ihree cycles and should produce a drought compar- able to the only other major occur- rence of its kind in written his- tory, in the year 2ii5 A.D.. "about when ihe Roman Kmpire began to crumble and w'.i.>!i w.^rs in. China were chronic. ' Gillette's prediction was b.ised on a study of varves-U'.ycrs ot sedi- ment deposited in seas or lakes by the annual runoff o streams. Some of the varve computations went back 10 2300 B.C., md can be fol- lowed for "mlllion.s of years. ' The maximum rainfall periods ot the 17-century cycle were "uotaDle, for their association with great per- iods of prosperity."

Now'i The Time To Buy Fruits Fresh Vegetables Too Are At Their Best And Cheapest On Canadian Markets For the next mouth or so Canad- ian grown fruits and vegetables will be going into the markets at their best and cheapest. Just now Ontario-grown raspberries are plen- tiful and can be ojtained at a price at which it is profitable for the housewife to buy them tor preserv- ing or canning or for making jam â€" and pure homemade raspberry jam or preserves, made from Can- adian-gronn berries â€" is incompar- ably good. Cherries from different parts ot British Columbia are available in substantial quantities, and Ontario cherries are well started. The total annua! crop produced in B.C. is in the neighborhood of 2,000,000 lb. Raspberries In abundance are ob- talnaile throughout Canada. A var- iety ot vegetables, several ot which are excellent it they are canned when fresh, can be bought compar- atively cheaply. Home canned fruit and vegetables and home prepared pickles are good to have in the winter months, when fresh Canad- ian grown producss cannot be bought. In My Grandmother's Garden It leems but yesterday That Youth and Age Walked softly there to keep A tryst with summer's bird And flower-friends. Tall white birches Held green laee parcsols Over family groups of roses, Bearing beauty's signature. Dappled oak shadows played Hide-and-seek on the lawn, And the nearby meadow foot-trail Beckoned from the hedge-gap. Opal hours passed slowly by . . . The little island in the river slept . . . Peace warbled lullabies With the wind. And when the dark came down, Far-off harbour lights were rows of fairy-moons, Fainting silver pathways On the sea. â€" Amy Bissett England. Finger Print File Growing An Insight into the workings of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police identification bureau at Ottawa was given delegates to the Chief Constables' Association convention this year, by Inspector H. R. Btuch- ers of the criminal investigation branch of the R.C.M.P. In his paper on "Single Finger Prints" Inspector Butchers outlin- ed the mehtod used by his depart- ment to file and classify prints. Since 1910, 701,287 sets ot impres- sions have> been received, 95,182 of which were identified with prev- iously registered finger prints, he said. In the past year, 54,375 sets of prints were received, ot which 12.- 505 were identified, the inspector added, fbe files are availa'ole for all police departments, he added. In concluding his remarks, In- spector Butchers gave the case his- tory of several crimes, solved by finger prints from the recent re- cords of Canadian cities.

THE ULTRA-LOYAL It Canadians are only going to listen to people who pat Britain, or Canada on the bae'K: and say nice things about the Empire, they will never be able to develop a healthy, unbiased outlook. If our loyalty to Britain cannot stand some criticism of British rule, then it is a weak sort ot loyalty indeed. And it we are not to be allowed to listen to criticism ot Britain, does this not imply a lack ot confidence in Brit- ish Institutions being aMe to with- stand criticism? â€" Windsor Star. the logical thing â€" this girl whosf weekly wage Included "a (oo4 home with nice people."

We Out-cheered British Crowds Books And You BY ELIZABETH EEDY Man to man, Canadian crowds fan outcheer British crowds when it comes to welcoming the King and Queen. Of course due allowance must be made for differences between British and Canadian character and temperament. Judging from the showing, however, when the King and Queen arrived back in England, R. K. Carnegie, Canadian Press staff writer, found that Lon- don crowds have volume which de- velops into a great roar in which no individual voices are disting- uishable. Same Depth of Affection There was onci continuous roar that day from Waterloo Station to Buckingham Palace. But for wide, open-moi;thed cheering, pa-:icuiariy sue'- as is furnished by those lusty-lunged people out on the Prairies, the Can- adians can show the way to any London crowd of similar size. As for depths of af'eclion and loyalty, that deeper emotion that lies behind the cheers, there's no difference between that of England or Canada.
