f Tugz Wararioo Cnuronicis ,* The other day, at Toronto, while Mr. Tim Buck, recently released from Portsmouth peniâ€" tentiary, was telling 17,000 of the sympathetic and the curious about his prison experiences, sixtyâ€"six persons suspected of being active enemies of the Soviet government in Russia were being marched out of prison, placed against the wall and shot without the semâ€" blance of a trial. The contrast between Canâ€" adian and Russian justice must have occurred to many. It ilustrates the difference between the methods of a democracy and those of a dicâ€" tatorship.

One of the happiest events associated with the Christmas season is the Community Christâ€" mas Cheer and parade to be held on Monday, December 24th. It is especially looked for to by the children who each year evince their deâ€" light over the appearance of Santa Claus. As in other years Santa will be prominent in the big parade in which new novelties are introduced each year while the stately Christmas Tree which will adorn the town square will add a picturesque touch to the scene.. The distribuâ€" tion of stockings filled with candies and toys will again gladden the hearts of the kiddies. It is anticipated that this year‘s event will attract an immense crowd of children, parents and friends. Certainly no pains are being spared to make it one of outstanding interest.

But the act ldoes not stipulate that a candidate must own any A man who yawned in police court was sent to the cells by the magistrate. Some of our public speakers doubtless wish th'(f_z‘ had the magistrate‘s powers. This is the time of year when driving ability is put to the test by slippery roads and frosted windshields. The Sault Ste. Marie Star calls using the police court to collect radio license fees a blunâ€" derous method, out of date and unjustified. It is all of that. There ought to be a way to seâ€" cure payment without resorting to the police court. Agreement of France and Germany to leave the policing of the Saar district to the troops of other countries pending the plebiscite to be held next month, has considerably lightâ€" ened the apprehension which was increasing as the date for balloting drew nearer. An entire mountain vanished during an earthquake in Honduras, says a cable, which will make people nervous up around Hamilton. After the threatening letters he has been receiving for some weeks, it will be a great relief to Mr. Labatt, the millionaire brewer, at London, Ont., to open his Christmas cards. ther. Election of municipal officers in Fort Erie brought about a situation which would have been laughable, had it not been serious. "Absurd," would probably be the best way to characterize it. In the past the American government has brought presidential efforts for a better interâ€" national understanding to nought. But now it is different. President Roosevelt has a huge majority behind him, both in the House of Representatives and the Senate. He is bold in action and a statesman of broad humanitarian views. â€" Ambassador â€" Bingham â€" assures the British people that the president ‘"is not only wise, statesmanlike and fair to every party and interest in the United States ; you may depend upon it he will never propose anything to conâ€" gress which he is not certain in advance that congress will endorse." That is certainly a new thing. "If your government reaches an underâ€" standing on any question with President Roosevelt," continued the Ambassador, "it reaches a certain binding and lasting underâ€" standing with the American nation." This anomaly was made possible through the act of the U.F.O. government in 1919, in removing property requirements for holders of municipal office. Before that time, $200 property assessment was reâ€" quired before a candidate could qualify, Any statute which will bar from office a property ownerâ€"who may have paid a part of his or her 1984 taxes to the town‘s upkeepâ€"and permit a person living at the expense of the town to qualify, is maniâ€" festly ridiculous. Its alteration should be seriously considered by the provincial legislature at an early sesgion. © A statement made at the meeting of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, at Dayton, Ohio, indicates that the outlook for‘ calendar reform is brighter. One of the obstacles to a new calendar was the problem of moving Christian feasts. The date of Easter varies from March 23 to April 25, and if the churches can agree to fixing the date of Easter the difficulty will be overcome. It is reported that the great branches of the Protestant church and the Greek Orthodox church have consented to the reform. The Roman Catholic church has not yet given its official sanction, but is said to regard the change without disfavor. The League of Naâ€" tios, it is now believed, will proceed with its plan for a new calendar. In England much interest was shown by the interview given by the American Amâ€" bassador to the Court of St. James, Mr. Robert W. Bingham, in which he spoke of the favorable opportunities now existing for closer Angloâ€" American coâ€"operation. Sir Austin Chamberâ€" lain said: "British people at home across the sea will read Ambassador Bingham‘s words with thankful hearts and will pray that his hope of a lasting understanding and close diploâ€" matic coâ€"operation between the Britishâ€"Ameriâ€" can peoples may he realized in the near future. Together we can do great things to secure peace and aid recovery of the world." | CHURCHES AND CALENDAR REFORM | ANGLOâ€"AMERICAN COâ€"OPERATION Well, everyone said he wanted colder weaâ€" CC eP h t EDITORIAL NOTES THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE The Farm These Days One of the very practical lines of instruction given to all regular «tuâ€" dents at the O.A.C. is in the adjustâ€" ment, repair and care of farm maâ€" chinery and other farm equipment such as tools, harness, ropes, belte. etc. Great Shorthorns Too "That was a great story in last week‘s press about your remarkable Holstein cow and her large family," said a visitor at the College this week.
