The Bank Act spec- ifies that of the seven two must be persons Whose chief occupation is in- primary industries (agriculture, lumbering, mining and fishing); two must be persons whose chief occu- pation is in manufacturing; and, the three remaining must represent all other occupations. If lumbering, fishing and mining together elect one of the primary industry representa- tives, to which they are justly en- titled, then agriculture will have but one‘director on a board of nine which consists of the Governor, Deputy- Governor and seven directors. One, or, at the most two directors, on a boardI of nine is totally inadequate representation for Canada's chief and basic industry in 51. country Where 47% of the people are rural.

It is much more easy to fight an enemy 'you know than one you do not know. Those who know that they have tuberculosis are not our enemies because knowing that they have the disease, they can take precautions to protect the people with whom they come in contact. The real enemy is the tuberculous patient who, because he does not know that he has the disease, is spreading the germs of tuberculosis in his sputum. _ These unsuspected cases must be revealed, through organized efforts at case- finding, if we are to defeat the enemy that is Tuberculosis. T It is'remarkable, but none fine less itrue, that tuberculosis is in retreat despite the fact that no specific means for the prevention or cure of the disease has ' been discovered Tuberculosis is in retreat because the people have learned about Ehis par- ticular disease enemy, and they are fighting- it with intelligenae based upon their understanding. 'What do we know about tubercu» losis"? We know that every case comes from some previous one. Turn this idea around', and you will see ’thett 'just as soon as those who now have the disease stop passing- ‘it on to others then tuberculosis will come to an end. Ontario Agriculture and Mining Ignored by Chamber of Commerce Slate There is so much less tuberculosis to-day chiefly because patients have learned in- s‘anatoria, the pub‘lic have read it in newspapers and have heard it in lectures, that tuberculosis is spread from one person to another in the germ-laden sputum of the tuber- culous. Just so far as We have gone in stopping the transfer of sputum, to that extent have we pressed upon the retreating enemy. Those Who bewail the evils of the present day would be well advised to give some attention to its achieve- ments. The yesterdays were, in some ways, more attractive and picturesque but they were nothing nearly so com- fortable or 'so safe as the today 'in which we live. Most diseases which have been'coni. quered were overcome by means of the discovery of some specific means for their prevention or through the development of a method to prevent their spread. Diphtheria is vanquished by diphtheria immunization, and typhoid fever disappears when ‘water and milk supplies are made safe. At the epenhig of this century, the greatest and most outstanding diseaSe enemy of mankind was tuberculosis. To-day, tuberculosis is in retreat, but not defeated. It is for us to deter mine how rapidly the retreat is to be pressed and the enemy annihilated.

Its “co-operation” consists of choosing and recommending a definite slate of seven directors. In allotting the two representatives for primary industries it says one shall be from the prairies and one from the mariQ ‘tim‘es. Iii-doing so it entirely ignores primary industries in Ontario. This is a. very grave error 0n the This is a very grave error on the part of the Chamber of Commerce since the province of Ontario leads‘ all the other provinces in Canada by a. wide margin in both agricultural and mineral production. Moreover, instead of asking agriculture and other in- dustries in the maritimes‘ and on the prairies to call representative con- ventions and select their own nomin- ees, the Chamber of Commerce takes, upon itself the privilege of doing 50‘ Every worth- while program on the air!

Also he added that he is now collecting Chinese antiques of the Ming dynasty! 800 Hats! Not all collectors are such fana- tics as this man, but some of them go pretty far. Incidentally, the man who collected the hundred pianos can’t play a note. For years she had wanted a piano. At long last she attained her wish. But what a price she had to pay! For several years a. certain New York woman longed in vain for a piano. Although her husband was both wealthy and generous, he refused to buy her one, explaining that he disliked music. “But I don't Imderstand,” his wife protested. “You didn’t want me to have one piano. Now, apparently, you are buying them by the dozen.” BOUGHT HIS W'IFE 100 PIANOS, JUST FOR A HOBBY “That’s right. When one has a hobby one is never satisfied until the collection is complete, Whether it is pianos or cigarette cards.” And, to his wife’s dismay, her hobbyist husband bought new pianos every day and continued to ship them home. Each was a different model. Any student of music could have traced the entire history of the in- strument by the growing collection. The Last Straw! The wife was at a loss what to do. Every room of their huge 29-room house soon contained pianos. There were harpsichords in the sitting- rooms, spinets in the diningâ€"room, baby gnancls in the library, early Colonial models in the kitchen, and small modern uprights in the bath- rooms! However, when her untiring hus- band came .in with his hundredth piano she called a halt. “This is the last straw,” she cried. “Either the pianos go into storage or I go back to mother.” 7 He owned pianos of every period and from every part of the world “Yies, yes,” he said, “Yes, yes, I understand perfectly.” But the very next morning two baby grands, an upright and a spinet arrived. “I have arranged for all that,” he said. “I signed a new lease this after noon. The new apartment has twice as many rooms as this one.” The wife stayed and the pianos were put into storage. But the husâ€" band confidentially told friends that he didn’t mind, because his collection was at last complete. ' When he animd home that eVening his Wife was in tears. “We will have to move into another house if this keeps up," she said. For she and her husband to-day own not one but a hundred pianos, of all shapes and sizes. This is how it all happened}: Both Happy! The woman’s husband is an anti- quarian, and all his life he has been a collector of rare jewels, spinningâ€" wheels, books and matchbox covers. The first time ’he went to buy his wife the longâ€"begged~f0r piano, he natural- ly went to an antique dealer’s. There he purchased an old-fashioned instru- ment that might have created a stir when it first appeared in a London d'raviring room in- the days of Victoria, but for the nineteen-minim was a bit out of date. However, as is usually the case, the wife won the argument in the end, and a magnificent grand piano. Was trundled into her drawing room. Nevertheless, if you asked the lady about it, she would tell you toâ€"day that she has since regretted her victory. His wifie complained of this, so hubby went right out and bought her the newest model of grand piano. H'B wife kissed him and she told him he was a dear sweet thing. When the piano collector came home that night, his wife gave him a good kalking to, pointing out patiently that, tlwugh their house was spacious, them was 110 mm for any more instru- ments. . ' An illuminating light was cast onl the queer hobbies of men, women and “Now, darling,” she said, “we are both :hqppy. You have an antique piano and ‘I ’have one that Rachmn- inoff would be happy to play on.” “How true,” the husband said; absent-mindedly. .She Got 8 Shock! The next day the wife had a shock. For yet a 'Ehi'rd' piano was carried into the house. This one was of the early clavichord type. ' “\"A; tique family albums, Iossns, mlnerars, walking-sticks, b-ells of all kinds, shoes, umbrellas, manhole covers, flour sacks and buttons an assort- ment of toothpicks and a multitude of other objects. Not the least startling of all these was the collection of 800 hats gathered together by Ed. \Vynn the comedian. How Winston Church- ill’s mouth would water! I _ Book Bound in Human Skin One of the most versatile collectors is Syd Seidman, a photographer. Among other things, he collects early American theatrical bills and fashion posters.

As a boy he was an. enthusiastic reader of tales relating the great deeds of the pioneers, trailbreakers and 01d Indian fighters, and his boyish enthusiasm has lasted all through later life. One ardent collector numbers among this treasures a book whose cover is studded with rare gems, another volume that is said to be bound in human skin, and omega. large book of several hundred pagesâ€"every word of which begins with the same letter of the alphabet. 163-167 Yonge St., Toronto, up stairs, opp. Simpsons.
